00:00:00I can handle this.
00:00:24Like hell, this guy works in network operations, you know, fixing computers.
00:00:27How the hell is he going to stop a large-scale hack?
00:00:31This is William Dorsey, our boss's son.
00:00:34You know what they say about new management?
00:00:36There's going to be some layoffs.
00:00:38Eric Martin.
00:00:39You are so fucking fired.
00:00:41Sir, Eric was the one who stopped the cyber attack.
00:00:43You want to follow him out?
00:00:44What are you doing kissing this douchebag?
00:00:46Why would I waste my time with an unemployed loser like you?
00:00:50I will formally be severing my ties with Dorsey Tech.
00:00:53There's another employee with a similar name who's always slacking on the job.
00:00:56With Eric's codes, I can plug the loophole.
00:00:58Everyone will think I'm a hero.
00:01:00You're Eric Martin.
00:01:01I am.
00:01:02We have to get him on our side.
00:01:04If you join Hendrix Tech, you can have anything you want.
00:01:09Including me.
00:01:10Our AI platform and company server have both crashed.
00:01:12What the fuck?
00:01:27I know, I'm on my way right now.
00:01:29Okay, I'll try that.
00:01:30Shit, the hacker's trying to bust through the server firewall.
00:01:33This is bad.
00:01:34Do something.
00:01:35The server is the company's lifeline.
00:01:36If they break through the firewall, we're finished.
00:01:38Guys, our IP is locked.
00:01:40Just shut me out.
00:01:41Hold on, just let me...
00:01:43Okay, just relax.
00:01:45There's got to be a way.
00:01:50I can handle this.
00:01:53You?
00:01:54Like hell.
00:01:55This guy works in network operations.
00:01:56You know, fixing computers, watching surveillance footage.
00:01:59How the hell is he going to stop a large-scale hack?
00:02:01Do you know what to do?
00:02:03We're running out of time.
00:02:05Desperate times call for desperate measures.
00:02:06Eric, get in here.
00:02:18Oh my god.
00:02:19He's unlocked the IP.
00:02:21The firewall's safe.
00:02:22And I sent a botnet swarm to launch a DDoS.
00:02:25Scrape all the personal data.
00:02:28Eric, you went up against 300 expert hackers and you just owned them.
00:02:31Dude, that was sick.
00:02:32I always thought you were just some sort of network maintenance lag.
00:02:35It turns out you're a better programmer than I am.
00:02:37How the hell did you get so good?
00:02:39What you did just now was legendary.
00:02:42Wait, I heard our bosses recently hired a Silicon Valley tech star
00:02:46to develop a next-gen AI neural net.
00:02:48Was that you?
00:02:50I...
00:02:52Look, I'll have to tell you later.
00:02:54My botnet just traced these hackers' IP addresses.
00:02:57Looks like we're going to have to shut them down one by one
00:02:59if we want to protect the server,
00:03:01which is going to take some time.
00:03:06You guys can all head out.
00:03:08I'll take it from here.
00:03:09Right, yeah.
00:03:11You guys can go.
00:03:21♪
00:03:46God.
00:03:47Finally.
00:03:52Let's light up.
00:03:53Great.
00:03:54Full moon liner.
00:03:59You did it?
00:04:02You're a pro, man.
00:04:03Yeah.
00:04:04All in a night's work.
00:04:07All right.
00:04:09I'm going to get some sleep.
00:04:11Johnny.
00:04:13So, who's this Herod guy anyway?
00:04:15His skills are off the charts.
00:04:17I'm not sure yet.
00:04:18I thought he was some network maintenance trash.
00:04:20Who knew he could ward off a cyberattack like that?
00:04:23I don't know either.
00:04:32I wonder if it even counts.
00:04:36I wonder if it's a crackpot.
00:04:38Who knew he could ward off a cyber attack like that?
00:04:40And with his talent, you'd think the boss would put him in a more important role.
00:04:43You know, I don't remember seeing sit around and chat in your job description.
00:04:49Brenda, who the hell is this guy?
00:04:52This is William Dorsey, our boss's son.
00:04:56He just completed his MBA at Stanford.
00:04:59Mr. Dorsey will be standing in as CEO while his father deals with some medical issues.
00:05:04Am I looking at two employees from Dorsey Tech or a couple of eight-year-olds out at recess?
00:05:08I honestly can't tell.
00:05:09Sir, I can explain.
00:05:10Zip it, Johnny.
00:05:11You can't manage yourself, let alone your entire team, so get out of my face.
00:05:15You're fired.
00:05:19You're fired. Get out.
00:05:22I just did that.
00:05:24You know what they say about new management.
00:05:27There's gonna be some layoffs.
00:05:29Time to separate the wheat from the chaff.
00:05:35Okay, listen up. Listen up.
00:05:38I'm gonna need 150% every single day.
00:05:41None of this half-assed bullshit anymore, alright?
00:05:47Who does he think he is? Elon Musk?
00:05:52What the hell is this crap?
00:05:54Okay, I need zero distractions in this office.
00:05:57Leave your shit at home and maybe you'll get something done for once.
00:06:04No!
00:06:07That was limited edition.
00:06:09Oh, boo-hoo.
00:06:11It's not my fault you were decorating your desk with that junk instead of working.
00:06:15You're fired!
00:06:17Excuse me?
00:06:18Uh, Fernanda, see how much that thing costs and buy her a new one?
00:06:22Dorsey Tech might lack competent workers, but one thing it doesn't lack is money.
00:06:26Right?
00:06:27Yes, sir.
00:06:29And what do we have here?
00:06:31Sleeping on the job?
00:06:33Good morning, my sweet prince.
00:06:36Who the hell are you?
00:06:38Who am I? Doesn't matter. Uh, you're fired.
00:06:44Me? You're firing me?
00:06:46Yeah.
00:06:47Well, you're firing me.
00:06:48Did I stutter?
00:06:49No.
00:06:50That's not, uh...
00:06:53That's not what I meant.
00:06:56That's, uh, that's not what I meant.
00:06:58Fernanda, what does he do?
00:07:00Um, he works in network maintenance.
00:07:02What's his salary?
00:07:03Just about 500k a year.
00:07:05Oh, 500k a year! All that for a simple maintenance job?
00:07:10What are you doing, taking us for a ride?
00:07:12No, uh, look, I was working all night. Can I just take a rest?
00:07:18You trying to clock in a time and a half for overtime?
00:07:20I mean, I've heard of quiet quitting, but this is time theft.
00:07:25Are you HR folks as dumb as these techies, or is this some kind of larger scale scam?
00:07:30Eric and I might be dating, but I can't afford to get dragged into this.
00:07:33I need to break up with this loser.
00:07:36Um, he must have pulled some strings to get a higher salary.
00:07:40Other workers in the same department don't make nearly as much as him.
00:07:44Fernanda.
00:07:48Eric Martin.
00:07:50You are so fucking fired.
00:07:52Get your shit and get out of my building.
00:08:01Alright then.
00:08:03Eric.
00:08:04Sir, Eric was the one who stopped the cyber attack.
00:08:06You want to follow him out?
00:08:08Hey, look.
00:08:10Dorsey Tech is still one of the top tech companies in Silicon Valley.
00:08:14Don't lose your jobs for me.
00:08:23Okay.
00:08:24Yeah.
00:08:26Boss's orders.
00:08:27I won't hold it against you.
00:08:29Uh, it's also our one year anniversary, right?
00:08:33Um, see you in the lobby.
00:08:41What was that about?
00:08:45Uh, Mr. Dorsey?
00:08:46Yeah.
00:08:47Are you sure you want to do this?
00:08:50Mr. Dorsey?
00:08:51Yeah.
00:08:52Are you sure it's a good idea to fire so many employees on your first day as acting CEO?
00:08:58It's better to be feared than loved.
00:09:01I mean, what?
00:09:02You want me to show some mercy to your crook boyfriend?
00:09:05Is that it?
00:09:06Uh, no, he's not.
00:09:08You know, you deserve so much better.
00:09:11I mean, what would you prefer?
00:09:13An unemployed loser?
00:09:15Or a rich CEO?
00:09:20Just a sec.
00:09:21Busy guy.
00:09:22Oh, what's up, Dad?
00:09:23My heart's acting up again.
00:09:24You'll have to take over the company for now.
00:09:25Also, there's an important matter you need to know about.
00:09:26Yeah, um, what's the important matter?
00:09:27We have an employee, Eric.
00:09:28Whatever you do, make sure to be good to him.
00:09:29Eric?
00:09:30Yeah.
00:09:31I'm sorry, Dad.
00:09:32I'm sorry.
00:09:33I'm sorry.
00:09:34I'm sorry.
00:09:35I'm sorry.
00:09:36I'm sorry.
00:09:37I'm sorry.
00:09:38I'm sorry.
00:09:39I'm sorry.
00:09:40I'm sorry.
00:09:41I'm sorry.
00:09:42I'm sorry.
00:09:43I'm sorry.
00:09:44I'm sorry.
00:09:45I'm sorry.
00:09:46I'm sorry.
00:09:47I'm sorry.
00:09:48Eric?
00:09:51Eric Martin.
00:09:55Isn't that the guy I just laid off?
00:09:57William?
00:09:58You there?
00:09:59Yep.
00:10:00Uh, just a second.
00:10:02Do we have any other employees named Eric?
00:10:09This is the employee list.
00:10:10Yep.
00:10:12I was trying to get him to work for us for years and finally poached him.
00:10:15He's in charge of our next-gen AI development.
00:10:18The company's future is in his hands.
00:10:20Uh, yes.
00:10:21Eric Martin, AI development.
00:10:23I see him.
00:10:24Eric Martin, AI development.
00:10:26One of the top tech visionaries in Silicon Valley.
00:10:30This the guy?
00:10:31Yeah, that's him.
00:10:32Eric Martin.
00:10:33There's another employee with a similar name who's always slacking on the job.
00:10:37Fire him when you get the chance.
00:10:39Don't worry, Dad.
00:10:40I already did.
00:10:41Huh.
00:10:42Guess that sucker I fired wasn't the big-shot tech genius after all.
00:10:45Atta boy.
00:10:46Keep it up.
00:10:47Once I'm feeling better, I'll come around and see how things are going.
00:10:50Yeah, just focus on getting better, Dad.
00:10:52I got this.
00:10:57You know, I told you that my father wouldn't pay 500 grand to some loser.
00:11:03So who's it gonna be?
00:11:05It's gonna be me.
00:11:07Ahem.
00:11:10What the fuck do you want?
00:11:12Uh, Mr. Dorsey, um, uh, you, uh...
00:11:15Spit it out, man. What's up?
00:11:17The company server just crashed.
00:11:22You, talk to me.
00:11:23It's bad, sir. The customer complaints are getting out of control.
00:11:26What should we do, sir?
00:11:27Eric saved us during the last cyber attack.
00:11:29So if we can just get him here, then boom. Problem solved.
00:11:32Fernanda, you got his number, right?
00:11:34Why don't you give him a call?
00:11:36Okay.
00:11:42Eric. What a dick. Forgets his tablet.
00:11:47Amelioration algorithm?
00:11:49Wait.
00:11:51Is this the code that fixes the server loophole?
00:11:56Damn, this is good.
00:12:01Hello?
00:12:02Eric, the company server crashed.
00:12:04Get over here and help us.
00:12:06Mr. Dorsey said that if you fix it, you'll be generously rewarded.
00:12:09On my way.
00:12:12With Eric's codes, I can plug the loophole.
00:12:15Everyone will think I'm a hero.
00:12:21So?
00:12:22He said he's got it.
00:12:23Thank God.
00:12:24Let's go.
00:12:29Well?
00:12:30You still haven't answered my question?
00:12:32Remember me?
00:12:35Eric and I weren't a thing.
00:12:37I was just leading him on.
00:12:40I'd choose you, of course.
00:12:42Six more.
00:12:50God, Fernanda was supposed to be off a half hour ago.
00:12:52Where is she?
00:12:55Screw it.
00:12:57I'm going home.
00:13:06You fucking asshole!
00:13:10Fucking asshole!
00:13:14Stop it!
00:13:15You're acting like a child.
00:13:17As if you never saw this coming.
00:13:19What are you doing kissing this douchebag?
00:13:21Watch your mouth!
00:13:22I can do whatever I want with whoever I want.
00:13:27You bastard.
00:13:41Eric, you and me are over.
00:13:48Fernanda.
00:13:49Fernanda.
00:13:50Are you serious?
00:13:52That pathetic piece of crap had the nerve to mess up your shirt.
00:13:55Why are you doing this?
00:13:57Eric, I told you we're done.
00:13:59Why would I waste my time with an unemployed loser like you?
00:14:03Fuck you.
00:14:18Keep it.
00:14:19At least you'll have something to jerk off to.
00:14:22Oh, damn.
00:14:24Yeah, so, I'm Rich.
00:14:27I'm handsome.
00:14:29And you, you're an unemployed loser.
00:14:32Just go home and beat your meat, man.
00:14:37Fernanda, you're the reason I even stayed at Dorset.
00:14:40Shut up!
00:14:41Who knows what kind of lives you told to get the job anyway.
00:14:44We're done.
00:14:50You're gonna pay for this.
00:14:52Hold it.
00:14:53You're in trouble now, bitch.
00:15:03And you are?
00:15:06It's an honor to meet you, Mr. Dorsey.
00:15:09I'm here to report that under my guidance, our systems are back up and running normally.
00:15:14You're Eric Martin.
00:15:16I am.
00:15:17I can see why my father spoke so highly of you.
00:15:20Idiots, do they really not know I'm taking credit for that loser Eric's work?
00:15:24Whatever.
00:15:25As long as the boss's son likes me, I can keep climbing the ladder.
00:15:30Mr. Dorsey, I know the asshole who tried to sabotage our company.
00:15:35Right after you were fired, the system crashed.
00:15:39There's reason to believe that this was your attempt at revenge.
00:15:54Boss, good news.
00:15:56Eric Martin, that tech whiz you had on your radar, he just left Dorsey Tech.
00:16:00He did?
00:16:01Mm-hmm, it happened ten minutes ago.
00:16:03He was fired by the CEO's son, William.
00:16:07That's hilarious.
00:16:09I want to see the look on that old hag, Asher Dorsey's face,
00:16:12when he realizes that the genius he recruited just got sacked by his idiot son.
00:16:17But Boss Hendrick's Tech is just a mid-level startup.
00:16:20People of someone as talented as him really want to join us?
00:16:23We have to get him on our side.
00:16:25By any means necessary.
00:16:29You have no idea how groundbreaking his work in AI modeling is.
00:16:34Get the car ready.
00:16:36I'm going to the Dorsey office, and Eric is mine.
00:16:47Revenge?
00:16:48What the hell are you talking about?
00:16:50Don't play dumb.
00:16:51The system's crashed right after you got fired.
00:16:54This couldn't have been a coincidence.
00:16:56Yet, you still deny it.
00:16:58Bullshit.
00:17:00You guys have always looked down on me as some nobody maintenance worker.
00:17:03Now you're going to blame me when the server gets hacked.
00:17:07None of you idiots have any shred of common sense.
00:17:10If you had a common sense, you'd have a job.
00:17:12I'm not going to argue with you in front of Mr. Dorsey.
00:17:17What the hell are you trying to do?
00:17:19You either tell them the truth or they're going to take you to the police station.
00:17:23Eric, I had no idea you were such a vengeful person.
00:17:27What other tricks do you have up your sleeve?
00:17:30Better come clean now or you're going to jail.
00:17:34Alright.
00:17:36What are you waiting for?
00:17:39Arrest me.
00:17:41Let's see if you have any real evidence.
00:17:47What are you doing, man? We don't got handcuffs.
00:17:49Really? Without a shred of remorse?
00:17:53Don't you know that Mr. Dorsey is going to make your life a living hell?
00:17:56Mr. Dorsey, the way I see it, you should teach this asshole a lesson.
00:18:01Yeah, William. A scumbag like him should never get away with this.
00:18:06No, no.
00:18:09From this day on, Eric Martin is now blacklisted from Dorsey Tech and all of its industry partners.
00:18:17You know what this means, dude? You're now kicked out of Silicon Valley, bro.
00:18:25I just have one question.
00:18:28Does Asher, the CEO, know that I've been fired?
00:18:33Why should the CEO be bothered with firing a loser like you?
00:18:37You thought you were real hot shit, didn't you?
00:18:41Boys, take him to the police.
00:18:44Boys, take him to the police.
00:18:46Yes, sir.
00:18:47Stop right there.
00:18:58There'll be no need to take him away. He's joining Hendrix Tech.
00:19:07He's joining Hendrix Tech.
00:19:09Oh, I recognize you.
00:19:12You're Evelyn Hendrix, CEO of Hendrix Tech.
00:19:17Evelyn, what are you doing here?
00:19:20I'm here for you, of course.
00:19:22I haven't seen you since college.
00:19:24What? A dummy like you went to college with her?
00:19:28So is this how Dorsey Tech treats its former employees?
00:19:31I would have expected better from you.
00:19:34Miss Hendrix, I...
00:19:35These are high-level conversations between company CEOs.
00:19:38Someone of your rank should know when to shut her mouth.
00:19:42Miss Hendrix, this prick, Eric, has severely...
00:19:46I'm sorry, who are you?
00:19:48I... I'm, uh...
00:19:50Yeah, I don't really have time to listen to your jabbering.
00:19:52Oh, my God. Okay, look.
00:19:54Right after I fired this imbecile, our company's server crashed.
00:19:57He clearly hacked into our system.
00:19:59His actions have had serious consequences for our company.
00:20:02So, yeah, man, I don't understand why you're challenging me
00:20:05for exposing a cyber criminal.
00:20:09Did you really not ask your father about who Eric is?
00:20:15Of course I asked my father.
00:20:17He said that Eric's some kind of slacker
00:20:19who cheated his way into the company.
00:20:24Slacker?
00:20:26Is that really what Asher said?
00:20:28Word for word.
00:20:29Word for word.
00:20:30He said,
00:20:31Fire this loser as soon as you get the chance.
00:20:37Asher met with me multiple times
00:20:39and begged for me to come join Dorsey Tech.
00:20:43It doesn't make sense that he would change his mind like this.
00:20:45Take me a break, Eric.
00:20:47The boss wouldn't waste his precious time recruiting someone like you.
00:20:52Fine.
00:20:53If that's how it's gonna be,
00:20:55then there's nothing left to say to you.
00:20:58Or Dorsey Tech.
00:21:01Eric, how would you feel about coming over to Hendrix Tech?
00:21:09You'll be a principal shareholder
00:21:11and you'll also have a salary of $4 million per year.
00:21:14I want to make you our lead software engineer.
00:21:28I'm sorry, a principal shareholder?
00:21:30$4 million salary?
00:21:33Hey, Cedric, you're giving him a lot.
00:21:35I mean, you're out of your damn mind.
00:21:37This woman's got to screw loose.
00:21:39You know he was just a maintenance worker at Dorsey Tech, right?
00:21:41And now you want to make him a millionaire?
00:21:47Evelyn,
00:21:48I know you're trying to help, but
00:21:50I kind of want the money.
00:21:51Then
00:21:53would this suit you?
00:21:57Are you kidding me?
00:21:58This is insane!
00:22:00If you join Hendrix Tech,
00:22:02you can have anything you want.
00:22:05Including me.
00:22:09Okay.
00:22:10Look, Ms. Hendrix,
00:22:11you're a self-made woman, which I respect.
00:22:13So, for your own good, let me remind you
00:22:15that this loser that you've set your mind on
00:22:18is some dick who loves to slack on the job.
00:22:21My father said it himself.
00:22:23Okay.
00:22:25Alright.
00:22:27Wow.
00:22:37What's all that?
00:22:39See, that
00:22:41would be all the things your father gave me.
00:22:44The car, the money,
00:22:46my relationship.
00:22:48See, they're all yours now.
00:22:50You can tell Asher that from this day forward,
00:22:53I, Eric Martin,
00:22:55will formally be severing my ties with Dorsey Tech.
00:22:58Quit it with the self-pity.
00:23:01You didn't deserve those things to begin with.
00:23:03It's right that you returned them.
00:23:06You guys are shameless.
00:23:08You don't even see your employees as human beings.
00:23:13Ms. Hendrix,
00:23:14I know that you and Dorsey Tech are competitors.
00:23:17Yes, but to be honest,
00:23:19right now we're actually struggling to compete with them.
00:23:23Don't worry.
00:23:26I can help change that.
00:23:30I can help change that.
00:23:31Look at yourself, Eric.
00:23:33Offering to work for a smaller company?
00:23:36What a joke.
00:23:39I'm sorry,
00:23:40a trader like you doesn't have the right to judge others.
00:23:43How dare you?
00:23:44The breach of the company server has caused major damage.
00:23:48As the perpetrator of this attack,
00:23:50I demand you to issue an apology to Dorsey Tech
00:23:53and all of its customers.
00:23:54And if you don't,
00:23:56I'll have to raise charges.
00:23:58Okay.
00:23:59Good luck with that.
00:24:01What are you going to do about it?
00:24:03You have no choice but to issue that apology.
00:24:06Stop threatening my employee.
00:24:08If you insist on escalating this,
00:24:10then send a demand letter to Hendrix Tech
00:24:12and we'll see it as a declaration of war.
00:24:17Well, if war is what you want, that's what you'll get.
00:24:21You know what?
00:24:25You know what?
00:24:33Let's go.
00:24:34I'd be sick if I stayed another second in this shithole.
00:24:46Mr. Dorsey,
00:24:47don't waste time with those people.
00:24:49Eric,
00:24:50you've done well.
00:24:52I'm going to assign you the role of lead engineer.
00:24:57That's amazing, sir.
00:25:00What about me, darling?
00:25:03Don't worry, my dear.
00:25:05I'll make sure that you're satisfied.
00:25:08Ew, gross.
00:25:10I won't let you down.
00:25:12Good.
00:25:13Tell me, how did you resolve the systems crash?
00:25:17Fuck!
00:25:18The tablet's in the office.
00:25:19What should I say?
00:25:22I used a one-of-a-kind code that I developed myself
00:25:25to get the server back up and running.
00:25:27I can explain it to you in detail later.
00:25:30Spoken like a true visionary.
00:25:32Man's even got his own code.
00:25:34You know what?
00:25:35Don't even bother showing it to me.
00:25:36I'm sure it's exquisite.
00:25:39Keep working your magic, buddy.
00:25:41With you on my team,
00:25:42I can relax.
00:25:43Thank you, sir.
00:25:46Let's go.
00:25:51Say hello to Dorsey Tech's new lead engineer.
00:25:54Let's see if anyone looks down on me now.
00:26:05Hello?
00:26:06Hi, Mr. Dorsey.
00:26:07It's Evelyn Hendrix.
00:26:09I'm just calling to inform you that as of today,
00:26:12Hendrix Tech has a horse in the AI development race.
00:26:16AI development is the crown jewel of Dorsey Tech.
00:26:20Are you sure you want to challenge us?
00:26:23As I said, I'm just calling to inform you.
00:26:26Not to have a discussion.
00:26:28Hang on a minute!
00:26:31It's him.
00:26:39What's that sly fox up to?
00:26:41What's that sly fox up to?
00:26:44She knows I have my lethal weapon, Eric,
00:26:46so why would she want to go to war with me?
00:26:51Unless...
00:27:04Dad!
00:27:05What's up?
00:27:06Tell me you didn't fire Eric!
00:27:09Uh, okay.
00:27:11Just calm down, just for a second.
00:27:13I only fired the slacker you told me about.
00:27:16Okay, then explain to me why Hendrix Tech
00:27:18is suddenly wanting to go to war with us.
00:27:22Well, I...
00:27:23I just tricked her into thinking that she had a chance.
00:27:26I mean, I'm not an idiot.
00:27:28There's no way I would let some lousy slacker
00:27:31bring down our entire server single-handedly.
00:27:34But I got Evelyn to believe that Eric really did it.
00:27:37She thinks she hit the jackpot,
00:27:39but really she's just picking up our trash.
00:27:42So you intentionally misled Evelyn?
00:27:46She's under the impression that the loser she poached from us
00:27:49is the mastermind behind Dorsey Tech's AI modeling.
00:27:52That's why she had the guts to declare war.
00:27:54Nice job, son.
00:27:56That shows real initiative.
00:27:58I think it's time you take full control
00:28:01of our next-gen AI modeling project.
00:28:05Really?
00:28:08Dad, thank you.
00:28:10Thank you so much.
00:28:12Now get to work.
00:28:13We are going to make Hendrix Tech
00:28:16the laughingstock of the whole industry.
00:28:20All right.
00:28:21Bye-bye, I love you.
00:28:27Sir, AI modeling is the future of Dorsey Tech.
00:28:31William just graduated.
00:28:33You sure you want to hand the reins over to him this soon?
00:28:36I would not have given it to him
00:28:37if he was the only one we were counting on.
00:28:39Don't forget, we still have our ace in the hole.
00:28:45You mean Eric Martin?
00:28:47That's right.
00:28:49All I have to do is stay hands-off
00:28:51and let him do what he does best.
00:28:53As long as we have Eric,
00:28:55Hendrix has a snowball's chance in hell.
00:28:58Plus, Evelyn fell for William's bluff
00:29:02and hired that clown Eric.
00:29:04Now all we have to do is sit back
00:29:06and watch her self-destruct.
00:29:21So, now that you've seen the engineering department,
00:29:24what are your thoughts?
00:29:26It's not bad.
00:29:28Small group, but they're talented.
00:29:30All we need is a few programmers
00:29:32with specialized knowledge in the field of AI.
00:29:35Precisely.
00:29:37So, is there any chance that our lead engineer,
00:29:41Mr. Martin, could put together a team?
00:29:44I heard that you weren't the only one
00:29:46that William Dorsey fired.
00:29:49You've got it all figured out, don't you?
00:29:52Alright, give me a minute.
00:29:55I'll call the guys.
00:29:57Great.
00:29:59Welcome.
00:30:03Come in.
00:30:05Mr. Dorsey, you wanted to see me?
00:30:07Yes.
00:30:09My father has just put me in charge
00:30:12of our AI modeling project.
00:30:14Seeing as you're lead engineer,
00:30:16I'm putting you in charge of development.
00:30:18I, uh...
00:30:20Sir?
00:30:22Is there a problem?
00:30:25No, not at all.
00:30:28Don't worry.
00:30:30Don't worry.
00:30:32I'm the right man for the job.
00:30:36Yes?
00:30:38William, there's been another crisis.
00:30:41Several key employees from the tech department have resigned.
00:30:44The department can't function like this.
00:30:46What? They just left?
00:30:48Why?
00:30:49They wouldn't say, but rumor has it
00:30:51they were poached by a former employee.
00:30:53Poached by a former...
00:30:55Fucking Eric Martin.
00:30:57William, what should we do?
00:30:59There's hardly any tech workers left.
00:31:01If anyone else resigns, we're done for.
00:31:03There's no need to freak out. You still have me.
00:31:05I can fix this.
00:31:07Yes.
00:31:09With you here, we're gonna be all right.
00:31:11What's your solution?
00:31:13Look, we lost a few expendable employees.
00:31:15That's it.
00:31:17Let them walk.
00:31:19We'll get better ones.
00:31:21I'll make a few calls.
00:31:26I like that.
00:31:29Yes.
00:31:31Fucking Eric Martin.
00:31:34This is all going swimmingly.
00:31:36Now I can put my own people in key positions.
00:31:38Soon, I'll have the whole company under my thumb.
00:31:45Johnny is an excellent programmer.
00:31:47He'll be assuming the role of department head.
00:31:49And this is Ruby, Leon, and Mateo.
00:31:52They're professional and reliable former co-workers of mine.
00:31:55With this team, Hendrix Tech's AI work will be in good hands.
00:31:59We're all pleased to meet you, Evelyn.
00:32:02Welcome, everyone. It's great to have you all on board.
00:32:05But I do want to warn you that there is lots of work to do.
00:32:08We have a ways to go if we want to compete with Dorsey Tech.
00:32:12With Eric at the helm, we'll always be one step ahead.
00:32:16But Dorsey Tech has already developed their own AI program.
00:32:20That?
00:32:22It's a trial version.
00:32:24If they keep developing based on that model, then...
00:32:27Then what?
00:32:30Then we won't have to lift a finger.
00:32:41We used our experience on the trial version to build a next-gen AI neural net,
00:32:46patching up the previous loopholes and weaknesses.
00:32:49Even if Dorsey Tech analyzes the trial version framework
00:32:52and builds a brand new platform,
00:32:54we'll still have the upper hand.
00:32:56And if they keep building based on the old trial version,
00:32:58then we can just sit back and watch them fail.
00:33:01Mark my words.
00:33:03In this battle for dominance, Hendrix Tech is destined for victory.
00:33:173 a.m. again.
00:33:20Okay, okay.
00:33:27Uh, Ms. Hendrix, hey.
00:33:30Come on, we're all alone here.
00:33:33Call me Evelyn.
00:33:35Are you always this way towards people who are crushing on you?
00:33:41Crushing on me?
00:33:43You still can't tell.
00:33:46Eric, I like you.
00:33:49I've felt this way since college.
00:33:56You were the prettiest girl on campus.
00:34:00I didn't think you'd go for a guy like me.
00:34:03I've never had my sights set on anyone else.
00:34:06Only you.
00:34:08But you were so oblivious.
00:34:11And when I finally got the courage to tell you how I felt,
00:34:14you disappeared.
00:34:16I went abroad to work on a top-secret training project.
00:34:20I know.
00:34:22You've always been so brilliant.
00:34:25Back then, I made up my mind.
00:34:28I was gonna be with you one day.
00:34:33Evelyn, I...
00:34:35And when I founded Hendrix Tech,
00:34:37I wanted to recruit you,
00:34:39but that sneaky bastard Asher Dorsey,
00:34:42already had snatched you up.
00:34:45I... I see.
00:34:50So,
00:34:52if I came closer to you now,
00:34:55would you mind?
00:34:58I...
00:35:01I should...
00:35:05It's late. I should probably be going.
00:35:09Where are you gonna go?
00:35:12You lost everything when you left Dorsey Tech.
00:35:16You kinda have nowhere to go now.
00:35:24Evelyn, I...
00:35:27Let's go.
00:35:30Go where?
00:35:32I'm taking you home.
00:35:41And this is it?
00:35:45From now until the AI project is finished,
00:35:47you'll be staying with me.
00:35:49For that long?
00:35:51You sure that's a good idea?
00:35:53I'm your boss, remember?
00:35:55It'll make it easier for me to, um,
00:35:57supervise you.
00:36:00Okay, um...
00:36:03Where am I gonna sleep?
00:36:06Well, I only have one bedroom, so...
00:36:09You're gonna have to share a bed with me.
00:36:11Oh, uh...
00:36:13No, that's...
00:36:15We probably shouldn't, um...
00:36:17I'm messing with you!
00:36:19My place is huge.
00:36:21At least as big as wherever Dorsey had you.
00:36:23Come on, I'll show you your room.
00:36:26Okay.
00:36:30This is what you've got?
00:36:32You're fucking useless!
00:36:34Sir, the modeling framework we're working with
00:36:36is extremely complex.
00:36:38We'll need at least another month
00:36:40to fully understand it.
00:36:46A month?!
00:36:47Not a chance!
00:36:49I'm gonna give you three days,
00:36:51and I want consistent progress reports!
00:36:53Sir, if we have to rush things,
00:36:55there'll be an increased risk for error.
00:36:57Then you have to work faster and smarter.
00:36:59I'm giving you three days!
00:37:01Eric!
00:37:03Mr. Dorsey!
00:37:04I wore things.
00:37:06You dropped your keyboard.
00:37:08Oh.
00:37:09Get back to work.
00:37:11Mr. Dorsey.
00:37:13Things are going great.
00:37:15We'll be on stage two in three more days.
00:37:17That's good to hear.
00:37:19You know, I knew I could trust you with this.
00:37:27William, update me on the AI project.
00:37:29Don't sweat it, Dad.
00:37:31Everything's going according to plan.
00:37:33Wonderful.
00:37:34When our new platform hits the market,
00:37:36I'll stop by to congratulate you.
00:37:40Your father must be so proud of you.
00:37:42Keep it up.
00:37:44Once we hit the market, I'll be sure to let my father know
00:37:46how valuable you've been to us.
00:37:48That's exactly what I need.
00:37:50Who wants to be just department head?
00:37:52If I can keep rising the ranks,
00:37:54I'll be the next vice president of Dorsey Tech.
00:37:56Mr. Dorsey,
00:37:58my job is to put the plans of expert strategists
00:38:00like yourself into action.
00:38:02I believe that if I were the vice president
00:38:04of this company, I could do that
00:38:06even more effectively.
00:38:08If this project does well, I'll see what I can do for you.
00:38:10Really? That's great.
00:38:12Thank you so much, sir.
00:38:14Come on.
00:38:30You're up.
00:38:38Come on.
00:38:40You can keep staring at me
00:38:42over breakfast.
00:38:46Right.
00:38:48Breakfast.
00:38:52That looks amazing.
00:38:58When you're done with breakfast,
00:39:00it's straight to work. Got it?
00:39:02Yeah.
00:39:04Of course.
00:39:06Good.
00:39:08And when you're finished
00:39:10with your project,
00:39:12I have a reward
00:39:14waiting.
00:39:26All right, team.
00:39:30We have an important sprint coming up.
00:39:32We have a lot to do and not a lot of time.
00:39:34So let's get
00:39:36to business.
00:39:38And some good news for you guys.
00:39:40I've been in touch with the financing department
00:39:42and you will be receiving
00:39:44paid trips to an all-inclusive resort
00:39:46in Cancun once we wrap.
00:39:48All right.
00:39:50Cool.
00:39:52On top of that, when we go public,
00:39:54you will be receiving a bonus as well as a
00:39:56share in our product revenue.
00:39:58Here at Hendrix,
00:40:00our employees are instrumental
00:40:02in our success and you will be
00:40:04treated as such.
00:40:07We're ready to make it happen, Ms. Hendrix.
00:40:09Oh, amen. Ms. Hendrix,
00:40:11we will have good news for you soon.
00:40:13Yeah, the news that we beat Dorsey Tech.
00:40:15And with Eric on our side,
00:40:17we can't lose.
00:40:19Beat Dorsey.
00:40:21Beat Dorsey.
00:40:23Beat Dorsey.
00:40:25Beat Dorsey.
00:40:27Beat Dorsey.
00:40:29Beat Dorsey.
00:40:36Beat Dorsey.
00:40:38Beat Dorsey.
00:40:40Beat Dorsey.
00:40:42Beat Dorsey.

00:41:02Beat Dorsey.
00:41:04Beat Dorsey.
00:41:06Beat Dorsey.
00:41:18You're hopeless, both of you.
00:41:22Sir?
00:41:24Don't speak without my permission!
00:41:26I give you a simple task
00:41:28and repeatedly you keep
00:41:30screwing it up!
00:41:32How did you blockheads get this job working here anyway?
00:41:36We have a whole AI framework that's just waiting to be used, yet you keep twiddling your thumbs!
00:41:42Either you finish this by the deadline, or you can get the fuck out!
00:41:47Is that clear?
00:41:48Yes, sir.
00:41:51Dad didn't tell me this Eric guy had such a hot temper.
00:41:54And didn't Eric say everything was going fine?
00:41:57Was I wrong to trust him?
00:41:58Mr. Dorsey, what are you doing here?
00:42:09Tell me the truth, are we on track to make the deadline or not?
00:42:13I can assure you we're doing fine, we're just adding a few finishing touches, so uh, things
00:42:17are a bit hectic.
00:42:18Good.
00:42:19Well don't be afraid to ask any questions, okay?
00:42:23Don't want any slip-ups.
00:42:24Got it.
00:42:25Alright.
00:42:26Darling.
00:42:27No, not now, get me the reports and ask for them.
00:42:42Let's see where you'd be without your daddy's money, you little shit.
00:42:46The fuck are you looking at?
00:42:48Get back to work!
00:42:49This time, I want results!
00:42:55Ms. Hendricks, I've just been informed that Dorsey Tech's next-gen AI platform is nearing
00:43:04completion.
00:43:05It's just a matter of time before it hits the market.
00:43:07Really?
00:43:08That fast?
00:43:09Well, there's a cocktail party three days from now.
00:43:12Dorsey's gonna be there announcing their new product and pitching to investors.
00:43:16They're taking things to the next level.
00:43:18But William Dorsey is really milking all his connections.
00:43:22If this goes well for them, we're gonna be in a difficult spot.
00:43:24Well, that much is obvious, but I don't know-
00:43:27Good thing we're finished too.
00:43:29What?
00:43:30Really?
00:43:31Why would I lie?
00:43:33We've been right on pace with Dorsey this whole time.
00:43:36Plus, the sooner they want to go public, the easier it'll be for us.
00:43:40Why would it be better for us?
00:43:44Evelyn, remember what I told you when I first came on board?
00:43:48But Dorsey Tech has already developed their own AI program.
00:43:53That?
00:43:54It's a trial version.
00:43:56If they keep developing based on that model, then-
00:44:00Then what?
00:44:02Then we won't have to lift a finger.
00:44:13So, what you're saying is that Dorsey Tech has been building off of the trial version
00:44:19that you made?
00:44:20It's the only way they could have built it so fast.
00:44:22It's a rough draft with a whole mess of flaws I wouldn't make a second time.
00:44:26Evelyn, there's nothing for us to worry about.
00:44:29That does make sense.
00:44:30Well, then, good.
00:44:34I'm grateful to you and the team for all your hard work.
00:44:37Tell everyone in the tech department that they can take the next three days off.
00:44:40They'll need their rest before we bring product to market?
00:44:43Yes, Ms. Hendricks.
00:44:47This is a big day for us.
00:44:52Why don't we end it with a drink?
00:44:57Aren't you a lightweight?
00:45:00Who said that?
00:45:02I can handle my liquor, Eric.
00:45:11Mmm.
00:45:18I knew you could be fun.
00:45:20I knew it.
00:45:21I told you.
00:45:23See, that's why that last drink was a bad idea.
00:45:27It was a good idea, and I could have had at least two more.
00:45:32Yeah.
00:45:33Yeah, no, you absolutely could.
00:45:35Definitely.
00:45:36You think that you are wild.
00:45:39Okay.
00:45:40No, no.
00:45:41Very good.
00:45:43See, I know we'd pick him.
00:45:45Super easy.
00:45:51Eric, how do you believe I want a guy like you?
00:46:00Maybe you just want to sober up.
00:46:09I'm sober enough.
00:46:13And what I want is you.
00:46:27William, we've been together for some time now,
00:46:31and my feelings for you have only grown stronger by the day.
00:46:35Let's get married!
00:46:40Hey!
00:46:42Where are you?
00:46:44Everyone's out here celebrating, and you're a no-show.
00:46:48What a buzzkill.
00:46:50I'm coming.
00:46:53No, that's all right.
00:46:54You know, everyone's leaving.
00:46:57Don't bother.
00:46:59Bye.
00:47:04Hey.
00:47:05Hey.
00:47:06Where'd you go?
00:47:07Oh, I missed you.
00:47:11It's fine.
00:47:13He just had a bit too much to drink.
00:47:16You know, there is a killer martini spot right up the street.
00:47:20Oh.
00:47:21I can get the bartender to whip up something special for you.
00:47:23I'd like that.
00:47:24What?
00:47:25Mm-hmm.
00:47:26Oh, just so much hotter than that bitch Fernanda.
00:47:29She's just a climber who hops from her ex over to me.
00:47:32And, you know, she's the kind of woman you throw some money at and then send her away.
00:47:36She is.
00:47:37William, how could you do this to me?
00:47:42You know, she, she, the funny thing is, is she thinks I actually love her.
00:47:47I've bagged a hundred babes that are better than her.
00:47:50She's delusional.
00:47:53Ugh, how pathetic.
00:47:55Probably just broke up with her boyfriend or something.
00:48:02Yeah, who gives a shit?
00:48:04You know, I'm gonna break up with Fernanda soon, too.
00:48:07And I'll be waiting for you, daddy.
00:48:10Oh, shit.
00:48:16God damn it!
00:48:18What have I done?
00:48:22It's going to be so awkward at work now.
00:48:25And I didn't even get the chance to propose to William.
00:48:30God damn it! What have I done?
00:48:35Eric.
00:48:39It's so cold.
00:48:42Eric.
00:49:01It's fine.
00:49:02I already saw everything last night anyway.
00:49:09How do I look?
00:49:14Beautiful.
00:49:18Come on, get up.
00:49:19I have your suit ready, too.
00:49:22Where are we going?
00:49:24Where else?
00:49:25We're gonna go crash Dorsey Tech's little cocktail party.
00:49:32What?
00:49:53What are you doing hiding over here?
00:49:56I told you, you're here as my girlfriend.
00:49:59We have to look the part.
00:50:01Mr. Dorsey, with money like yours,
00:50:05there must be plenty of other girlfriends you can call.
00:50:08Okay, what's gotten into you?
00:50:11You want me to cut your salary or something?
00:50:13Because I could do that.
00:50:14Whatever.
00:50:15Just wait until I'm wasted.
00:50:17Drunk words are sober thoughts.
00:50:19Okay.
00:50:21Mr. Dorsey.
00:50:22Oh.
00:50:23Let's have a toast.
00:50:26To winning over the investors and taking over the market by storm.
00:50:31Cheers.
00:50:32Cheers.
00:50:49Oh, fuck.
00:50:53Man.
00:51:02Fuck.
00:51:07Well, well, well.
00:51:08If it isn't that little rat I fired from Dorsey Tech.
00:51:13Miss Hendricks.
00:51:14I see you've taken quite a liking to this loser.
00:51:18Idiot.
00:51:19Right here.
00:51:20Why wouldn't I like Eric?
00:51:22He's a tech genius and the brains behind our new AI platform.
00:51:27Firing him was your loss.
00:51:32Okay.
00:51:35Thanks to Mr. Dorsey's leadership and my fearless efforts,
00:51:38Dorsey Tech AI platform is now reaching the market.
00:51:42You talk a big game,
00:51:44but the only reason why you're here is to ride our coattails.
00:51:50So what's really funny about that
00:51:54is that we're about to release our own AI platform.
00:51:58Oh, is that so?
00:52:01Well, you frauds don't have a shot against us.
00:52:04How much overtime did you use to make a platform that no one's going to use?
00:52:09Burn, dude.
00:52:10You hear that?
00:52:12Yeah, I would say our monopoly on the tech industry is secure.
00:52:16So, Miss Hendricks, why don't you go on that little love train straight to bankruptcy?
00:52:21We'll see which product no one wants to use.
00:52:25Wow.
00:52:26Jesus, Eric.
00:52:28Didn't we, like, just break up?
00:52:30Look at you.
00:52:31I already had over heels for another woman.
00:52:36Excuse me.
00:52:39What's up? Talk to me.
00:52:40Um, do you have any idea where I am?
00:52:43What?
00:52:45Uh, the server crashed?
00:52:50Okay, yep.
00:52:51Okay, yep.
00:52:52Um, what the fuck?
00:52:54The server crashed.
00:52:56I'll make a call.
00:52:57Yeah, make a call.
00:52:58It'll be fixed in a minute.
00:53:00Wow.
00:53:01He's got it.
00:53:02Yeah, yeah, he's got it.
00:53:03Use the amelioration algorithm.
00:53:06Yes.
00:53:07Do it.
00:53:08Amelioration algorithm.
00:53:10That's what I call the code I saved on my tablet, but it's only for emergencies.
00:53:14It won't solve the core problem.
00:53:16Wait, did Eric steal my tablet?
00:53:18Another server crash, huh?
00:53:20If your systems are so unpredictable, you sure people are going to trust your new product?
00:53:27Uh, yeah, this doesn't concern you at all.
00:53:30What's up, man? We figure it out?
00:53:33Yeah.
00:53:34Got it fixed.
00:53:35No big deal.
00:53:36No big deal.
00:53:39Wait, did you just say the company's server crashes?
00:53:43No big deal.
00:53:44This is an internal affair.
00:53:46I'm sorry.
00:53:47And you were driven out.
00:53:50So I would keep your mouth shut.
00:53:52The amelioration algorithm is for emergencies only.
00:53:55It won't address the core issue.
00:53:56So the concurrency bug will just lead to more data corruption and more system crashes.
00:54:01It's such a noob mistake.
00:54:03If you understood code, you'd know that.
00:54:06Oh my God, if you would understand code, you wouldn't.
00:54:09Dude, like seriously, do you hear yourself?
00:54:11What do you know?
00:54:12Take your bullshit theories somewhere else, please, man.
00:54:17Right.
00:54:18What do I know?
00:54:20I wrote the amelioration algorithm.
00:54:22What did you just say?
00:54:25What?
00:54:28I wrote the amelioration algorithm.
00:54:30I'm in HR and the boss still didn't tell me about the mysterious tech genius he hired.
00:54:35Was it really Eric all along?
00:54:37Ugh, what have I done?
00:54:39Shut up.
00:54:40What the...
00:54:41Mr. Dorsey, you can't believe a word they say.
00:54:44They are our competitors.
00:54:45Right.
00:54:47Believe whatever you want.
00:54:49What a dumpster fire.
00:54:52Let's go, honey.
00:54:53Yeah.
00:54:54Oh my God.
00:54:55Did you just call him honey?
00:54:58Yeah, so?
00:55:00Back when I recruited Eric, I made the terms very clear.
00:55:03I told him he could have whatever he wanted, including me.
00:55:08I'm not like some people, ignoring talents and abusing their trust.
00:55:12What?
00:55:16I have an image to maintain.
00:55:20Yes, of course.
00:55:24Okay.
00:55:27Okay.
00:55:31So, what you're saying is...
00:55:34It's not that I don't respect Hendrix Tech.
00:55:36Dorsey is less an investment risk.
00:55:38And they have greater potential.
00:55:41I can't justify choosing your product over theirs.
00:55:43Mr. Brown, we're a risk worth taking.
00:55:47Once you see our AI platform, I guarantee you'll want to reconsider.
00:55:53Bravo, bravo.
00:55:55That was quite an inspiring sales pitch, Mr. Hendrix.
00:56:00You must be Mr. Dorsey's son.
00:56:02It's a great pleasure.
00:56:04Mr. Hendrix and I were just having a little chat.
00:56:06Naturally, I'll still be investing in Dorsey Tech.
00:56:09Yeah, so, if you're here chasing investments, I would suggest you just give up and go home.
00:56:15With us here, you won't get a ransom from these guys.
00:56:17That's right.
00:56:18Over 90% of the guests here have already invested in our new AI tech program.
00:56:25Best get out while you still can.
00:56:28I'm afraid they're right.
00:56:29We've already spent our investment money in promoting Dorsey's new AI platform, so...
00:56:34And I can assure you that any investment you've made will not be wasted.
00:56:39And your money will be paid back in tenfold.
00:56:42At Dorsey Tech, we treat our partners like family.
00:56:44And that's why we love doing business with you.
00:56:47If I were you, I'd cut my losses and take my leave.
00:56:51Get out.
00:56:52Unless...
00:56:53You also want to invest in Dorsey Tech?
00:57:00Hey, let the jerks have their fun.
00:57:02They won't be allowed from Perch much longer.
00:57:14Sounds like a plan.
00:57:17Let's go.
00:57:23Ms. Hendricks.
00:57:26Didn't you just tell us to get lost?
00:57:28I didn't want to fend Mr. Dorsey back there. It was all an act.
00:57:31Well, that sounds professional. Then what do you want?
00:57:35Ms. Hendricks, investors know to hedge their bets.
00:57:39What Hendricks Tech is doing is impressive, and I want to offer my help.
00:57:44I know you need funds to promote your products, and I want to assist with that.
00:57:49But you need to sign a contract first.
00:57:52No way am I signing a contract with you.
00:57:55At least hear the terms.
00:57:57If your AI product tops Dorsey Tech's, you pay nothing.
00:58:02If they win, you pay everything back.
00:58:05What do you say?
00:58:07That's a lot of money we're talking about.
00:58:09It's definitely risky, but I trust Eric.
00:58:16Mr. Brown, we accept your offer.
00:58:24Today, Dorsey Tech's highly anticipated artificial intelligence platform, AI+, was released in the United States.
00:58:31On its first day, AI+, has already gained more than 10 million users,
00:58:36completely eclipsing the efforts of their chief competitor, Hendricks Tech,
00:58:40which also launched their new platform, AI King, on the same day.
00:58:46Everyone at Hendricks has guts, I'll give her that.
00:58:49But dropping her new product on the same day as us, that is career suicide.
00:58:55Let's get to the office, Griffin.
00:58:57Yes, sir.
00:59:02Relax, Mr. Dorsey. Hendricks Tech is no threat.
00:59:06Yeah, I know.
00:59:08Remember when you said that if this project went well, you'd promote me to vice president?
00:59:12Yeah, I remember, but AI+, has just barely hit the market.
00:59:17We can't even call it a success yet.
00:59:19Right, true.
00:59:20Yeah.
00:59:25I have news.
00:59:26Talk to me.
00:59:27The bad news is that Hendricks Tech's AI platform is much more impressive than we thought.
00:59:31The good news is that their consumer numbers are nowhere close to ours.
00:59:36Okay, uh, alright, I'll take it.
00:59:39I'll take it.
00:59:40Like I said, we're unbeatable.
00:59:43Come on, let's celebrate.
00:59:44No, no, not yet.
00:59:47How did Hendricks Tech even get that product out in that timeline?
00:59:50I don't know.
00:59:51I don't know.
00:59:52No, not yet.
00:59:54How did Hendricks Tech even get that product out in that timeline?
00:59:57I mean, they got started much later than we did.
00:59:59I heard from a source at their company that their lead engineer is highly skilled.
01:00:05Lead engineer?
01:00:06Eric?
01:00:08I thought he was supposed to be a nobody.
01:00:12Right?
01:00:19Dad, what's up?
01:00:22On my way to the office to congratulate you and Eric.
01:00:25Oh, uh, got it.
01:00:29The boss is coming.
01:00:30We can talk to him about my promotion.
01:00:32Shit.
01:00:33Guys, this isn't good.
01:00:34What?
01:00:35What is it now?
01:00:36Our AI platform and company server have both crashed.
01:00:39What the fuck?
01:00:40Right?
01:00:41Every time.
01:00:45Seriously.
01:00:46God damn, dude.
01:00:49What the fuck is going on?
01:00:51Mr. Martin, the AI platform just crashed out of nowhere and brought the whole server down along with it.
01:00:56Then don't just sit around like an idiot.
01:00:58Fix it!
01:00:59Sir, this is an issue with the system's core framework.
01:01:01We didn't build that.
01:01:03What do you mean you didn't build it?
01:01:04We're using the same framework that Eric built before he left.
01:01:06Eric, the guy I fired?
01:01:08Yeah, Eric with a K.
01:01:09E-R-I-K.
01:01:13You took credit for someone else's work.
01:01:15You lied to me!
01:01:16Mr. Dorsey, let me explain.
01:01:18No, there is no time for explanation.
01:01:20Why didn't you rebuild the core framework?
01:01:22Mr. Dorsey, we need to focus on getting the company's server up and running.
01:01:25Our users' trust depends on it.
01:01:27Speak!
01:01:28What happened to the company's server?
01:01:30Sir, he was the one.
01:01:31I didn't do shit.
01:01:32Shut your mouth.
01:01:33Go.
01:01:34The solution he used, the amelioration algorithm, after the last two crashes,
01:01:38it's not designed as a long-term solution to the serious concurrency bug in the code.
01:01:42Every time that bug is reproduced, it's a new one.
01:01:45Every time that bug is reproduced, it leads to more serious corruption.
01:01:48It's been a ticking time bomb ever since.
01:01:51This time, the A.I. platform went down, brought the whole server down along with it.
01:01:55It's completely unfixable.
01:01:59This was all your fault.
01:02:02William, all of our users are switching over to Hendrix Tech's A.I. platform.
01:02:05What should we do?
01:02:06How the fuck am I supposed to know?
01:02:10Oh!
01:02:14Mr. Dorsey, what on earth is going on?
01:02:16I'm not going to let you assholes drag me down like this.
01:02:18Look, sir, I can explain.
01:02:20I'm sorry, okay?
01:02:21It's got to be fixed.
01:02:22I have billions of dollars invested in you, damn it.
01:02:24I'm going to make sure the whole industry knows about this scandal.
01:02:27Dorsey Tech is finished.
01:02:35500,000?
01:02:36We just passed 500,000!
01:02:38You guys, 98, 99, 1 million!
01:02:43Oh my God!
01:02:44Oh my God!
01:02:49Go!
01:02:52Go!
01:02:54Hey, hey, it's still going up, it's still going up!
01:02:56Fuck, fuck, fuck!
01:02:59This is all your fault.
01:03:00This is all your fault!
01:03:02Mr. Dorsey, fuck!
01:03:05I wanted to help you.
01:03:07I was trying to help the company.
01:03:09I've had enough of your bullshit.
01:03:11You fired half the bloody tech departments.
01:03:13What was I supposed to do?
01:03:15And you gave us impossible deadlines.
01:03:17No, no, no, don't make this about me.
01:03:19I get it now.
01:03:20You were using my promotion as bait.
01:03:22You were never going to make me VP.
01:03:24You want your job or not?
01:03:25Is that a threat?
01:03:27Fire me.
01:03:28Do it.
01:03:29You think I won't?
01:03:31If Eric leaves, so do I.
01:03:34Me too.
01:03:36See, when you fired everyone,
01:03:38I replaced them with my people.
01:03:41Go ahead, fire me.
01:03:43You'll clear out your whole tech department.
01:03:45You will sink Dorsey Tech.
01:03:48You were never the prize tech genius of Dorsey Tech.
01:03:51You were the slacker my father warned me about.
01:03:55William!
01:03:59William!
01:04:00William!
01:04:03I'm ashamed to call you my son.
01:04:07What the hell have you done to my company?
01:04:10Dad, I'm sorry.
01:04:13I'm not here for apologies.
01:04:19What the hell is this idiot doing here?
01:04:21I thought you fired him.
01:04:23Where's Eric?
01:04:26Dad, I fired Eric.
01:04:28You fired him?
01:04:32Was that a mistake?
01:04:36Dad, are you okay?
01:04:38Hey, are you okay?
01:04:41I busted my fucking balls to get Eric to Dorsey Tech.
01:04:47He was the backbone behind this company.
01:04:50And what did you do?
01:04:53You fired him.
01:04:56So, um, it was Eric with a K all along?
01:05:00No, I fucked up.
01:05:02God, I fucked up.
01:05:04Where is Eric now?
01:05:06I will get down on my knees and beg him to come back.
01:05:11Um, Eric is at Hendrix Tech.
01:05:17You are a sorry excuse for a son.
01:05:22You destroyed my company.
01:05:26Sir?
01:05:29Bad news.
01:05:31It appears that the server crash was just the beginning.
01:05:33What's going on?
01:05:35The crash also affected our automobile software.
01:05:38There have been at least 30 car accidents across the U.S.
01:05:42Oh, fuck.
01:05:44Six people have died.
01:05:51No, no, this isn't my fault.
01:05:54It was Eric's fault. Eric with a K.
01:05:56It was his code that was faulty.
01:05:58No, that's fucking bullshit. I fired him before that happened.
01:06:01But I stumbled upon his tablet and the code that he wrote.
01:06:05I'm only guilty of using his work.
01:06:07Everything else was his fault.
01:06:11I wrote the amelioration algorithm.
01:06:13God, I mistook the genius for the loser.
01:06:16I'm not going down like this.
01:06:19Dorsey Tech ain't finished yet.
01:06:21It's not finished yet.
01:06:24Griffin.
01:06:26Take this man to the police.
01:06:28If Dorsey Tech goes under, he'll have to pay for this.
01:06:32Yes, sir.
01:06:55Mr. Brown, looks like your contract worked in our favor.
01:06:59So we will not be returning the $5 billion you invested.
01:07:02And again, thank you for your generosity.
01:07:05Wait, do I at least deserve some dividends?
01:07:08I'm sorry, Mr. Brown.
01:07:10But the terms you insisted on were very clear.
01:07:13We beat Dorsey Tech, so we owe you nothing.
01:07:16Which includes any dividends you might have otherwise received.
01:07:19But...
01:07:20No. No more buts.
01:07:22Goodbye, Mr. Brown.
01:07:31Tonight, I'll give you that reward I was telling you about.
01:07:35Oh.
01:07:37I'm sure it'll be very special.
01:07:40You have no idea.
01:07:43Eric!
01:07:46I know I messed up before.
01:07:49It's all over for Dorsey Tech now.
01:07:52Isn't there anything you can do to help me?
01:07:56What the hell are you doing grabbing my boyfriend?
01:08:00Boyfriend?
01:08:02That's right.
01:08:03I'm his girlfriend now.
01:08:05We're living together and we're getting married soon, too.
01:08:09But...
01:08:10You...
01:08:11You can't...
01:08:13No, it's not possible.
01:08:15He was mine first!
01:08:17You dumped him and you treated him like trash.
01:08:22It's a little late for you to come crawling back.
01:08:26Guys, can we...
01:08:29Eric!
01:08:40You're hot when you're bossy.
01:08:42You like?
01:08:43Yeah.
01:08:44Eric?
01:08:45What?
01:08:49Eric?
01:08:50What is it now?
01:09:00Eric.
01:09:01You know how much I've known for you.
01:09:04Dorsey Tech is in dire straits.
01:09:09We need your help.
01:09:10Mr. Dorsey.
01:09:11All those things you gave me.
01:09:14I returned when your son accused me of hacking the company server
01:09:17and demanding compensation.
01:09:21Oh, has he not told you?
01:09:23That is not how it went down at all.
01:09:26It was that dirtbag, Eric with a C,
01:09:29who went behind my back and got me all mixed up.
01:09:32Oh yeah?
01:09:33Well, your little mix-up made me lose everything I had,
01:09:36including my career.
01:09:39Did it feel good to make me the scapegoat for your mistake?
01:09:43Eric, I am really sorry.
01:09:47I don't want your fake apology,
01:09:49and I'm not coming back to you.
01:09:52So, would you please leave our office?
01:09:59Now, would you please leave our office?
01:10:04We wish Dorsey Tech the very best.
01:10:14You fucking doomed us, son!
01:10:17You doomed Dorsey Tech!
01:10:21Dad, dad, dad.
01:10:22Dad?
01:10:23Dad!
01:10:24Dad!
01:10:33So, what are we going to do now?
01:10:38Hmm.
01:10:42So, you're really not going to help them?
01:10:46They're the ones who fired me.
01:10:48Now they have to live with the outcome.
01:10:51Well, to the sweet taste of victory.
01:10:54To the sweet taste of victory.
