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.
00:04:10Johnny.
00:04:12So who's this Herrat guy anyway?
00:04:14I mean, his skills are off the charts.
00:04:16I'm not sure yet.
00:04:17I thought he was some network maintenance Tretch.
00:04:19Who knew he could ward off a cyberattack like that.
00:04:21I know the last
00:04:34Not sure yet. I thought he was some network maintenance dredge.
00:04:37Who knew he could ward off a cyber attack like that?
00:04:39And with his talent, you'd think the boss would put him in a more important role.
00:04:42You know, I don't remember seeing sit around and chat in your job description.
00:04:49Brenda, who the hell is this guy?
00:04:51This is William Dorsey, our boss's son. He just completed his MBA at Stanford.
00:04:58Mr. 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. You 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.
00:06:00No!
00:06:03That was limited edition.
00:06:05Oh, boo-hoo.
00:06:07It's not my fault you were decorating your desk with that junk instead of working.
00:06:11You're fired!
00:06:13Excuse me?
00:06:14Uh, Fernanda, see how much that thing costs and buy her a new one?
00:06:18Dorsey Tech might lack competent workers, but one thing it doesn't lack is money.
00:06:22Right?
00:06:23Yes, sir.
00:06:25And what do we have here? Sleeping on the job?
00:06:28Good morning, my sweet prince.
00:06:32Who the hell are you?
00:06:33Who am I? Doesn't matter. Uh, you're fired.
00:06:39Me? You're firing me?
00:06:41Yeah.
00:06:42Well, you're firing me.
00:06:43Did I stutter?
00:06:44No.
00:06:45That's not a...
00:06:47That's not a stutter.
00:06:49That's not a stutter.
00:06:51No.
00:06:52That's not a...
00:06:55That's not what I meant.
00:06:57Fernanda, what does he do?
00:06:59He works in network maintenance.
00:07:01What's his salary?
00:07:02Just about 500K a year.
00:07:04Oh, 500K a year. All that for a simple maintenance job?
00:07:09What are you doing, taking us for a ride?
00:07:11No, look, I was working all night. Can't I just take a rest?
00:07:17Are you trying to clock in a time and a half for overtime?
00:07:19I mean, I've heard of quiet quitting, but this is time theft.
00:07:24Are you HR folks as dumb as these techies, or is this some kind of larger scale scam?
00:07:29Eric 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.
00:07:36He must have pulled some strings to get a higher salary.
00:07:39Other 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.
00:08:17Okay.
00:08:27Okay.
00:08:28Yeah.
00:08:30Boss's orders. I won't hold it against you.
00:08:34It's also our one year anniversary, right?
00:08:39See you in the lobby.
00:08:45What was that about?
00:08:48Mr. Dorsey?
00:08:50Yeah?
00:08:51Are you sure it's a good idea to fire so many employees on your first day as acting CEO?
00:08:57It's better to be feared than loved.
00:09:00I mean, what?
00:09:01You want me to show some mercy to your crook boyfriend?
00:09:04Is that it?
00:09:05No, he's not...
00:09:07You know, you deserve so much better.
00:09:10I mean, what would you prefer?
00:09:12An unemployed loser?
00:09:14Or a rich CEO?
00:09:18Ugh.
00:09:24Just a sec.
00:09:26Busy guy.
00:09:27Oh.
00:09:28What's up, Dad?
00:09:30My heart's acting up again.
00:09:32You'll have to take over the company for now.
00:09:35Also, there's an important matter you need to know about.
00:09:39Yeah, um, what's the important matter?
00:09:41We have an employee.
00:09:42Eric.
00:09:43Whatever you do, make sure to be good to him.
00:09:47Eric?
00:09:50Eric Martin.
00:09:54Isn't that the guy I just laid off?
00:09:56William, you there?
00:09:58Yep.
00:09:59Uh, just a sec.
00:10:01Do we have any other employees named Eric?
00:10:08This is the employee list.
00:10:10Yep.
00:10:11I was trying to get him to work for us for years and finally poached him.
00:10:14He's in charge of our next-gen AI development.
00:10:17The company's future is in his hands.
00:10:19Uh, yes.
00:10:20Eric Martin, AI Development. I see him.
00:10:23Eric Martin, AI Development.
00:10:26One of the top tech visionaries in Silicon Valley.
00:10:29This the guy?
00:10:30Yeah, that's him.
00:10:31Eric Martin.
00:10:32There's another employee with a similar name who's always slacking on the job.
00:10:36Fire him when you get the chance.
00:10:38Don't worry, Dad. I already did.
00:10:40Ah, guess that sucker I fired wasn't the big-shot tech genius after all.
00:10:44Attaboy. Keep it up.
00:10:46Once I'm feeling better, I'll come around and see how things are going.
00:10:49Yeah, just focus on getting better, Dad. I got this.
00:10:56You know, I told you that my father wouldn't pay 500 grand to some loser.
00:11:02So who's it gonna be?
00:11:04It's gonna be me.
00:11:10What the fuck do you want?
00:11:11Uh, Mr. Dorsey, um...
00:11:15Spit it out, man. What's up?
00:11:16The company server just crashed.
00:11:21You, talk to me.
00:11:22It's bad, sir. The customer complaints are getting out of control.
00:11:25What should we do, sir?
00:11:26Eric saved us during the last cyber attack, so if we can just get him here, then boom. Problem solved.
00:11:31Fernanda, you got his number, right?
00:11:33Why don't you give him a call?
00:11:41Eric, what a dick. Forgets his tablet.
00:11:46Amelioration algorithm?
00:11:48Wait, is this the code that fixes the server loophole?
00:11:55Damn, this is good.
00:12:00Hello?
00:12:01Eric, the company server crashed. Get over here and help us.
00:12:04Mr. Dorsey said that if you fix it, you'll be generously rewarded.
00:12:08On my way.
00:12:11With Eric's codes, I can plug the loophole.
00:12:14Everyone will think I'm a hero.
00:12:20So?
00:12:21He said he's got it.
00:12:22Thank God.
00:12:29Well, you still haven't answered my question.
00:12:32Remember me?
00:12:35Eric and I weren't a thing.
00:12:37I was just leaning in on.
00:12:39I'd choose you, of course.
00:12:49God, Fernanda was supposed to be off a half hour ago. Where is she?
00:12:54Screw it.
00:12:56I'm going up.
00:13:05You fucking asshole!
00:13:09You fucking asshole!
00:13:13Stop it! You're acting like a child.
00:13:16As if you never saw this coming.
00:13:18What are you doing kissing this douchebag?
00:13:20Watch your mouth!
00:13:22I can do whatever I want with whoever I want.
00:13:27You bastard.
00:13:40Eric, you and me are over.
00:13:48Fernanda, are you serious?
00:13:51That pathetic piece of crap had the nerve to mess up your shirt.
00:13:55Why are you doing this?
00:13:56Eric, I told you we're done.
00:13:58Why would I waste my time with an unemployed loser like you?
00:14:10Fuck.
00:14:17Keep it. At least you'll have something to jerk off to.
00:14:21Oh, damn.
00:14:23Yeah, so, I'm rich. I'm handsome.
00:14:28And you, you're an unemployed loser.
00:14:31Let's go home and beat your meat, man.
00:14:34What?
00:14:36Fernanda, you're the reason I even stayed at Dorset.
00:14:39Shut up!
00:14:40Who knows what kind of lies you told to get the job anyway.
00:14:44We're done.
00:14:49You're gonna pay for this.
00:14:51Hold it. You're in trouble now, bitch.
00:15:04And 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. As long as the boss's son likes me, I can keep climbing the ladder.
00:15:29Mr. Dorsey, I know the asshole who tried to sabotage our company.
00:15:34Right after you were fired, the system crashed.
00:15:39There's reason to believe that this was your attempt at revenge.
00:15:53Boss, good news.
00:15:55Eric Martin, that tech whiz you had on your radar, he just left Dorsey Tech.
00:15:59He did?
00:16:00Mm-hmm. It happened ten minutes ago.
00:16:02He was fired by the CEO's son, William.
00:16:05That's hilarious.
00:16:08I want to see the look on that old hag, Asher Dorsey's face when he realizes
00:16:12that the genius he recruited just got sacked by his idiot son.
00:16:16But Boss Hendrick's Tech is just a mid-level startup.
00:16:19Well, if someone as talented as him really wanted to join us...
00:16:22We have to get him on our side.
00:16:24By any means necessary.
00:16:28You have no idea how groundbreaking his work in AI modeling is.
00:16:33Get the car ready.
00:16:35I'm going to the Dorsey office.
00:16:38And Eric is mine.
00:16:46Revenge?
00:16:47What the hell are you talking about?
00:16:49Don't play dumb.
00:16:51The systems crashed right after you got fired.
00:16:54This couldn't have been a coincidence, yet you still deny it.
00:16:58Bullshit.
00:17:00You guys have always looked down on me as some nobody maintenance worker.
00:17:04Now 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.
00:17:13I'm not going to argue with you in front of Mr. Dorsey.
00:17:18What 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.
00:17:22Eric, I had no idea you were such a vengeful person.
00:17:26What other tricks do you have up your sleeve?
00:17:29Better come clean now or you're going to jail.
00:17:33Alright.
00:17:36What are you waiting for?
00:17:38Arrest me.
00:17:40Let's see if you have any real evidence.
00:17:43What are you doing, man? We don't got handcuffs.
00:17:46Really? Without a shred of remorse?
00:17:49Don't you know that Mr. Dorsey is going to make your life a living hell?
00:17:53Mr. Dorsey, the way I see it, you should teach this asshole a lesson.
00:17:58Yeah, William. A scumbag like him should never get away with this.
00:18:02No, no.
00:18:05From this day on, Eric Martin is no longer a suspect.
00:18:10From this day on, Eric Martin is now blacklisted from Dorsey Tech and all of its industry partners.
00:18:20You know what this means, dude?
00:18:22You're now kicked out of Silicon Valley, bro.
00:18:28I just have one question.
00:18:30Does Asher, the CEO, know that I've been fired?
00:18:35Why should the CEO be bothered with firing a loser like you?
00:18:39You thought you were real hot shit, didn't you?
00:18:43Boys, take him to the police.
00:18:45Yes, sir.
00:18:46Stop right there.
00:18:58There'll be no need to take him away. He's joining Hendrix Tech.
00:19:06He's joining Hendrix Tech.
00:19:08Oh, I recognize you.
00:19:11You're Evelyn Hendrix, CEO of Hendrix Tech.
00:19:16Evelyn, what are you doing here?
00:19:19I'm here for you, of course.
00:19:21I haven't seen you since college.
00:19:23What? A dummy like you went to college with her?
00:19:27So is this how Dorsey Tech treats its former employees?
00:19:30I would have expected better from you.
00:19:33Miss Hendrix, I...
00:19:34These are high-level conversations between company CEOs.
00:19:37Someone of your rank should know when to shut her mouth.
00:19:41Miss Hendrix, this prick, Eric, has severely...
00:19:45I'm sorry, who are you?
00:19:47I... I'm, uh...
00:19:49Yeah, I don't really have time to listen to your jabbering.
00:19:51Oh, my God. Okay, look.
00:19:53Right after I fired this imbecile, our company's server crashed.
00:19:56He clearly hacked into our system.
00:19:58His actions have had serious consequences for our company.
00:20:01So, yeah, man, I don't understand why you're challenging me
00:20:04for exposing a cyber criminal.
00:20:08Did you really not ask your father about who Eric is?
00:20:14Of course I asked my father.
00:20:16He said that Eric's some kind of slacker
00:20:18who cheated his way into the company.
00:20:23Slacker?
00:20:25Is that really what Asher said?
00:20:27Word for word.
00:20:28Word for word.
00:20:29He said,
00:20:30Fire this loser as soon as you get the chance.
00:20:36Asher met with me multiple times
00:20:38and begged for me to come join Dorsey Tech.
00:20:41It doesn't make sense that he would change his mind like this.
00:20:44You took me a break, Eric.
00:20:46The boss wouldn't waste his precious time
00:20:48recruiting someone like you.
00:20:51Fine.
00:20:52If that's how it's gonna be,
00:20:54then there's nothing left to say to you.
00:20:57Or Dorsey Tech.
00:21:00Eric,
00:21:01how would you feel about coming over to Hendrix Tech?
00:21:08You'll be a principal shareholder
00:21:10and you'll also have a salary of four million per year.
00:21:13I want to make you our lead software engineer.
00:21:27I'm sorry, a principal shareholder?
00:21:29Four million dollar salary?
00:21:32Hey, Cedric, you're giving him a lot.
00:21:34I mean, you're out of your damn mind.
00:21:36This woman's got to screw loose.
00:21:38You know he was just a maintenance worker at Dorsey Tech, right?
00:21:40And now you want to make him a millionaire?
00:21:46Evelyn,
00:21:47I know you're trying to help, but
00:21:49I kind of want the money.
00:21:51Then
00:21:53would this suit you?
00:21:56Are you kidding me?
00:21:57This is insane!
00:21:59If you join Hendrix Tech,
00:22:01you can have anything you want.
00:22:05Including me.
00:22:08Okay.
00:22:09Look, Miss 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
00:22:17is some dick who loves to slack on the job.
00:22:20My father said it himself.
00:22:22Okay.
00:22:24Alright.
00:22:26Wow.
00:22:36What's all that?
00:22:38See, that
00:22:40would be all the things your father gave me.
00:22:43The car, the money,
00:22:45my relationship.
00:22:47See, they're all yours now.
00:22:49You can tell Asher that from this day forward,
00:22:52I, Eric Martin,
00:22:54will formally be severing my ties with Dorsey Tech.
00:22:58Quit it with the self-pity.
00:23:00You 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.
00:23:13Miss 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.
00:23:22Don't worry.
00:23:25I can help change that.
00:23:29I 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, a traitor 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,
00:23:49I demand you to issue an apology to Dorsey Tech and all of its customers.
00:23:53And if you don't,
00:23:55I'll have to raise charges.
00:23:57Okay.
00:23:58Good luck with that.
00:24:00What are you going to do about it?
00:24:02You have no choice but to issue that apology.
00:24:05Stop threatening my employee.
00:24:07If you insist on escalating this,
00:24:09then send a demand letter to Hendrix Tech,
00:24:11and we'll see it as a declaration of war.
00:24:15Well, if war is what you want, that's what you'll get.
00:24:19You know what?
00:24:23You know what?
00:24:31Let's go.
00:24:32I'd be sick if I stayed another second in this shithole.
00:24:45Mr. Dorsey, don't waste time with those people.
00:24:48Eric, you've done well.
00:24:52I'm going to assign you the role of lead engineer.
00:24:56That's amazing, sir. Thank you.
00:25:00What about me, darling?
00:25:02Oh, don't worry, my dear.
00:25:04I'll make sure that you're satisfied.
00:25:07Ew, gross.
00:25:10I won't let you down.
00:25:11Good.
00:25:12Tell me, how did you resolve the systems crash?
00:25:17Fuck, the tablet's in the office.
00:25:19What should I say?
00:25:21I used a one-of-a-kind code that I developed myself
00:25:24to get the server back up and running.
00:25:26I can explain it to you in detail later.
00:25:29Spoken like a true visionary.
00:25:31Man's even got his own code.
00:25:33You know what?
00:25:34Don't even bother showing it to me.
00:25:35I'm sure it's exquisite.
00:25:38Keep working your magic, buddy.
00:25:40With you on my team, I can relax.
00:25:42Thank you, sir.
00:25:45Let'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 Hendricks.
00:26:09I'm just calling to inform you that as of today,
00:26:12Hendricks Tech has a horse in the AI development race.
00:26:18AI development is the crown jewel of Dorsey Tech.
00:26:21Are you sure you want to challenge us?
00:26:24As I said, I'm just calling to inform you.
00:26:27Not to have a discussion.
00:26:29Hang on a minute!
00:26:32It's him.
00:26:40What's that sly fox up to?
00:26:43She knows I have my lethal weapon, Eric,
00:26:46so why would she want to go to war with me?
00:26:50Unless...
00:27:03Dad, what's up?
00:27:05Tell me you didn't fire Eric!
00:27:09Okay, just calm down, just for a second.
00:27:12I only fired the slacker you told me about.
00:27:15Okay, then explain to me why Hendricks Tech
00:27:18is suddenly wanting to go to war with us.
00:27:22Well, I just tricked her into thinking that she had a chance.
00:27:25I mean, I'm not an idiot.
00:27:28There's no way I would let some lousy slacker
00:27:30bring down our entire server single-handedly.
00:27:33But I got Evelyn to believe that Eric really did it.
00:27:36She thinks she hit the jackpot,
00:27:38but really she's just picking up our trash.
00:27:41So you intentionally misled Evelyn?
00:27:45She's under the impression that the loser she poached from us
00:27:48is the mastermind behind Dorsey Tech's AI modeling.
00:27:51That's why she had the guts to declare war.
00:27:53Nice job, son.
00:27:55That shows real initiative.
00:27:57I think it's time you take full control
00:28:00of our next-gen AI modeling project.
00:28:04Really?
00:28:05Really?
00:28:08Dad, thank you. Thank you so much.
00:28:11Now get to work.
00:28:13We are going to make Hendricks Tech
00:28:15the laughingstock of the whole industry.
00:28:19All right. Bye-bye, love.
00:28:26Sir, AI modeling is the future of Dorsey Tech.
00:28:30William just graduated.
00:28:33Are you sure you want to hand the reins over to him this soon?
00:28:35I'd not have given it to him
00:28:36if he was the only one we were counting on.
00:28:38Don't forget, we still have our ace in the hole.
00:28:44You mean Eric Martin?
00:28:46That's right.
00:28:48All I have to do is stay hands-off
00:28:50and let him do what he does best.
00:28:52As long as we have Eric,
00:28:54Hendricks has a snowball's chance in hell.
00:28:57Plus, Evelyn fell for William's bluff
00:29:01and 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.
00:29:27Small group, but they're talented.
00:29:30Big as our few programmers
00:29:32with specialized knowledge in the field of AI.
00:29:35Precisely.
00:29:36So, is there any chance that our lead engineer,
00:29:40Mr. 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?
00:29:52All right, give me a minute.
00:29:55I'll call the guys.
00:29:57Great.
00:29:58Welcome.
00:30:05Come in.
00:30:06Mr. Dorsey, you wanted to see me?
00:30:08Yes.
00:30:10My father has just put me in charge
00:30:13of our AI modeling project.
00:30:15Seeing as you're lead engineer,
00:30:17I'm putting you in charge of development.
00:30:20I, uh, sir?
00:30:24Is there a problem?
00:30:27No, not at all.
00:30:30Don't worry, I'm the right man for the job.
00:30:36Yes?
00:30:38William, there's been another crisis.
00:30:40Several key employees from the tech department have resigned.
00:30:43The department can't function like this.
00:30:45What? They just left?
00:30:47Why?
00:30:48They wouldn't say, but rumor has it
00:30:50they were poached by a former employee.
00:30:53Poached by a former... fucking Eric Martin.
00:30:56William, what should we do?
00:30:58There's hardly any tech workers left.
00:31:00If anyone else resigns, we're done for.
00:31:02There's no need to freak out. You still have me.
00:31:05I can fix this.
00:31:07Yes, no, with you here, we're gonna be all right.
00:31:10Just, what's your solution?
00:31:12Look, we lost a few expendable employees.
00:31:15That's it. Let them walk.
00:31:17We'll get better ones.
00:31:19I'll make a few calls.
00:31:24I like that.
00:31:26I like that.
00:31:28Yes.
00:31:30Fucking Eric Martin.
00:31:33This is all going swimmingly.
00:31:35Now I can put my own people in key positions.
00:31:38Soon, I'll have the whole company under my thumb.
00:31:44Johnny is an excellent programmer.
00:31:46He'll be assuming the role of department head.
00:31:48And this is Ruby, Leon, and Mateo.
00:31:51They're professional and reliable former co-workers of mine.
00:31:54With this team, Hendrix Tech's AI work will be in good hands.
00:31:58We're all pleased to meet you, Evelyn.
00:32:01Welcome, everyone. It's great to have you all on board.
00:32:04But 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.
00:32:11With Eric at the helm, we'll always be one step ahead.
00:32:15But Dorsey Tech has already developed their own AI program.
00:32:19That?
00:32:21It's a trial version.
00:32:23If they keep developing based on that model, then...
00:32:26Then what?
00:32:29Then 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,
00:32:45patching up the previous loopholes and weaknesses.
00:32:48Even if Dorsey Tech analyzes the trial version framework and builds a brand new platform,
00:32:53we'll still have the upper hand.
00:32:55And if they keep building based on the old trial version,
00:32:58then we can just sit back and watch them fail.
00:33:00Mark my words.
00:33:02In this battle for dominance, Hendrix Tech is destined for victory.
00:33:073 AM
00:33:163 AM again.
00:33:20Okay, okay.
00:33:27Uh, Ms. Hendrix, hey.
00:33:29Come on, we're all alone here.
00:33:32Call me Evelyn.
00:33:34Are you always this way towards people who are crushing on you?
00:33:40Crushing on me?
00:33:43You still can't tell.
00:33:45Eric, I like you.
00:33:48I've felt this way since college.
00:33:55You were the prettiest girl on campus.
00:33:58I... I 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.
00:34:10And 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... 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,
00:34:42he already had snatched you up.
00:34:45I... I see.
00:34:50So, if I came closer to you now,
00:34:55would you mind?
00:34:58I...
00:35:01I should, uh...
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.
00:35:15You kind of have nowhere to go now.
00:35:23Evelyn, uh...
00:35:26Let's go.
00:35:29Go where?
00:35:31I'm taking you home.
00:35:40And this is it?
00:35:43From now until the AI project is finished,
00:35:46you'll be staying with me.
00:35:48For that long?
00:35:50You sure that's a good idea?
00:35:52I'm your boss, remember?
00:35:54It'll make it easier for me to, um...
00:35:56supervise you.
00:35:59Okay, um...
00:36:02Where am I gonna sleep?
00:36:05Well, I only have one bedroom, so...
00:36:08you're gonna have to share a bed with me.
00:36:11Oh, uh...
00:36:13That's... We probably shouldn't, um...
00:36:17I'm messing with you!
00:36:19My place is huge.
00:36:20At least as big as wherever Dorsey had you.
00:36:22Come 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 is extremely complex.
00:36:38We'll need at least another month to fully understand it.
00:36:46A month? Not a chance!
00:36:48I am gonna give you three days,
00:36:50and I want consistent progress reports!
00:36:53Sir, if we have to rush things, there'll be an increased risk for error.
00:36:56Then you have to work faster and smarter.
00:36:58I'm giving you three days!
00:37:01Eric!
00:37:02Mr. Dorsey!
00:37:03I want things.
00:37:05You dropped your keyboard.
00:37:07Oh.
00:37:08Get back to work.
00:37:11Mr. Dorsey.
00:37:12Things are going great.
00:37:14We'll be on stage two in three more days.
00:37:17That's good to hear.
00:37:18You know, I knew I could trust you with this.
00:37:26William, update me on the AI project.
00:37:28Don't sweat it, Dad.
00:37:30Everything's going according to plan.
00:37:32Wonderful.
00:37:33When our new platform hits the market, I'll stop by to congratulate you.
00:37:39Your father must be so proud of you.
00:37:41Keep it up.
00:37:42Once we hit the market, I'll be sure to let my father know how valuable you've been to us.
00:37:46That's exactly what I need.
00:37:48Who wants to be just department head?
00:37:50If I can keep rising the ranks, I'll be the next vice president of Dorsey Tech.
00:37:55Mr. Dorsey, my job is to put the plans of expert strategists like yourself into action.
00:38:01I believe that if I were the vice president of this company, I could do that even more effectively.
00:38:07If this project does well, I'll see what I can do for you.
00:38:10Really? That's great!
00:38:11Thank you so much, sir.
00:38:17You're up.
00:38:26Come on.
00:38:27You can keep staring at me.
00:38:29Over breakfast.
00:38:33Right.
00:38:35I'll see you later.
00:38:36Bye.
00:38:37Bye.
00:38:38Bye.
00:38:39Bye.
00:38:40Bye.
00:38:41Bye.
00:38:42Bye.
00:38:43Bye.
00:38:44Bye.
00:38:45Right.
00:38:46Breakfast.
00:38:51That looks amazing.
00:38:58When you're done with breakfast, get straight to work. Got it?
00:39:02Yeah. Of course.
00:39:06Good.
00:39:07And when you're finished with your project,
00:39:12I have a reward waiting.
00:39:16Okay.
00:39:26All right, team.
00:39:29We have an important sprint coming up.
00:39:31We have a lot to do and not a lot of time.
00:39:34So let's get to business.
00:39:37And some good news for you guys.
00:39:39I've been in touch with the financing department,
00:39:41and you will be receiving paid trips to an all-inclusive resort in Cancun once we wrap.
00:39:47All right.
00:39:48Awesome.
00:39:49Cool.
00:39:50On top of that, when we go public,
00:39:52you will be receiving a bonus as well as a share in our product revenue.
00:39:56Oh, yes.
00:39:57Here at Hendrix, our employees are instrumental in our success,
00:40:02and you will be treated as such.
00:40:06Ready to make it happen, Ms. Hendrix?
00:40:08Oh, amen.
00:40:09Ms. Hendrix, we will have good news for you soon.
00:40:12We have the news that we beat Dorsey Tech.
00:40:14And with Eric on our side, we can't lose.
00:40:17Beat Dorsey. Beat Dorsey. Beat Dorsey.
00:40:22Beat Dorsey. Beat Dorsey. Beat Dorsey.
00:40:26Beat Dorsey. Beat Dorsey.
00:40:39Beat Dorsey.
00:41:10You're hopeless, both of you.
00:41:15Sir, I...
00:41:17Don't speak without my permission.
00:41:19I give you a simple task, and repeatedly you keep screwing it up.
00:41:24How did you blockheads get this job working here anyway?
00:41:29We have a whole AI framework that's just waiting to be used.
00:41:32You're not going to use it.
00:41:35We have a whole AI framework that's just waiting to be used,
00:41:39yet you keep twiddling your thumbs!
00:41:41Either you finish this by the deadline, or you can get the fuck out!
00:41:46Is that clear?
00:41:48Yes, sir.
00:41:50Dad didn't tell me this Eric guy had such a hot temper.
00:41:53And didn't Eric say everything was going fine?
00:41:56Was I wrong to trust him?
00:42:05Mr. Dorsey, what are you doing here?
00:42:08Tell me the truth. Are we on track to meet the deadline or not?
00:42:12I can assure you we're doing fine.
00:42:14We're just adding a few finishing touches, so things are a bit hectic.
00:42:19Good.
00:42:20Well, don't be afraid to ask any questions, okay?
00:42:23Don't want any slip-ups.
00:42:24Got it.
00:42:27Alright.
00:42:29Darling.
00:42:30What are you doing?
00:42:31Not now. Get me the reports and ask for them.
00:42:41Let's see where you'd be without your daddy's money, you little shit.
00:42:46The fuck are you looking at? Get back to work!
00:42:48And this time, I want results!
00:42:51Miss Hendricks?
00:42:52I've just been informed that Dorsey Tech's next-gen AI platform is nearing completion.
00:42:56It's just a matter of time before it hits the market.
00:42:58Really? That fast?
00:43:00Well, there's a cocktail party three days from now.
00:43:03Dorsey's going to be there, announcing their new product and pitching to investors.
00:43:07They're taking things to the next level.
00:43:09That William Dorsey is really moving fast.
00:43:13I can't wait to meet him.
00:43:15They're taking things to the next level.
00:43:17That William Dorsey is really milking all his connections.
00:43:21If this goes well for them, we're going to be in a difficult spot.
00:43:24Well, that much is obvious, but I don't...
00:43:26Good thing we're finished, too.
00:43:29What? Really?
00:43:31Why would I lie?
00:43:32We've been right on pace with Dorsey this whole time.
00:43:35Plus, the sooner they want to go public, the easier it'll be for us.
00:43:39Why would it be better for us?
00:43:42Evelyn, remember what I told you when I first came on board?
00:43:47Mike Dorsey Tech has already developed their own AI program.
00:43:51That? It's a trial version.
00:43:55If they keep developing based on that model, then...
00:43:58Then what?
00:44:01Then we won't have to lift a finger.
00:44:12So, what you're saying is that Dorsey Tech has been building off of the trial version that you made?
00:44:19It's the only way they could have built it so fast.
00:44:21It's a rough draft with a whole mess of flaws I wouldn't make a second time.
00:44:25Evelyn, there's nothing for us to worry about.
00:44:28That does make sense.
00:44:30Well, then, good.
00:44:32Thank you. I'm grateful to you and the team for all your hard work.
00:44:36Tell everyone in the tech department that they can take the next three days off.
00:44:39They'll need their rest before we bring product to market.
00:44:42Yes, Ms. Hendricks.
00:44:46This is a big day for us.
00:44:51Why don't we end it with a drink?
00:44:56Aren't you a lightweight?
00:44:59Who said that?
00:45:01I can handle my liquor, Eric.
00:45:10Mmm.
00:45:16I knew you could be fun. I knew it.
00:45:19I told you.
00:45:21See, that's why that last drink was a bad idea.
00:45:26It was a good idea, and I could have had at least two more.
00:45:30Yeah. Yeah, no, you absolutely could. Definitely.
00:45:34You think that you are wild.
00:45:37Wild?
00:45:39Okay. No, no.
00:45:43See, I know we'd make it.
00:45:45Super easy.
00:45:50Eric, how do you believe I want a guy like you?
00:45:59Maybe you just want to sober up.
00:46:08I'm sober enough.
00:46:13And what I want is you.
00:46:27William, we've been together for some time now,
00:46:30and my feelings for you have only grown stronger by the day.
00:46:35Let's get married.
00:46:41Hey, where are you?
00:46:43Everyone'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. You know, everyone's leaving.
00:46:57Don't bother.
00:46:59Bye.
00:47:04Hey. Hey.
00:47:06Where'd you go? I missed you.
00:47:10It's fine.
00:47:12He just had a bit too much to drink.
00:47:15You know, there is a killer martini spot right up the street.
00:47:19Oh.
00:47:20I 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.
00:47:28She's just a climber who hops from her ex over to me.
00:47:31You know, she's the kind of woman you throw some money at and then send her away.
00:47:35That's who she is.
00:47:36William, how could you do this to me?
00:47:42You know, she, she, the funny thing is, is she thinks I actually love her.
00:47:46I've bagged a hundred babes that are better than her.
00:47:50She's delusional.
00:47:52Oh, how pathetic.
00:47:55Probably just broke up with her boyfriend or something.
00:48:01Yeah, who gives a shit?
00:48:03You know, I'm going to break up with Fernanda soon, too.
00:48:06And I'll be waiting for you, Daddy.
00:48:09Oh, shit.
00:48:15God damn it!
00:48:17What have I done?
00:48:21It's going to be so awkward at work now.
00:48:24And I didn't even get the chance to propose to William.
00:48:29God damn it!
00:48:31What have I done?
00:48:35Eric.
00:48:38It's so cold.
00:48:41Eric.
00:48:59It'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 going to go crash Dorsey Tech's little cocktail party.
00:49:28Oh.
00:49:52What you doing hiding over here?
00:49:54I told you, you're here as my girlfriend.
00:49:57We have to look at the heart.
00:49:59Mr. Dorsey.
00:50:01With money like yours,
00:50:03there must be plenty of other girlfriends you can call.
00:50:06Okay.
00:50:07What's gotten into you?
00:50:09You want me to cut your salary or something?
00:50:11Because I could do that.
00:50:12Whatever.
00:50:13Just wait until I'm wasted.
00:50:15Drunk words are sober thoughts.
00:50:17Okay.
00:50:19Mr. Dorsey.
00:50:20Oh.
00:50:21Let's have a toast.
00:50:25To winning over the investors
00:50:27and taking over the market by storm.
00:50:31Cheers.
00:50:32Cheers.
00:50:48Oh.
00:50:50Hey.
00:50:52Come here.
00:51:06Well, 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.
00:51:34Thanks 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.
00:51:48Oh.
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?
00:52:12I 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.
00:52:31Already head over heels for another woman.
00:52:36Excuse me.
00:52:39What's up? Talk to me.
00:52:40Do you have any idea where I am?
00:52:43What?
00:52:45The server crashed?
00:52:49Okay, yep.
00:52:51Okay, yep.
00:52:52What the fuck?
00:52:54The server crashed.
00:52:55I'll make a call.
00:52:56Yeah, make a call.
00:52:57It'll be fixed in a minute.
00:52:58Yeah, that's...
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.
00:53:08What?
00:53:09The amelioration 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?
00:53:27Yeah, this doesn't concern you at all.
00:53:30What's up, man? We figure it out?
00:53:32Yeah.
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 crashed?
00:53:43No big deal.
00:53:44This is an internal affair.
00:53:46Internal.
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.
00:54:01Such 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.
00:54:08Dude, 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?
00:54:27I 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?
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.
00:55:07I'm not like some people, ignoring talents and abusing their trust.
00:55:12What?
00:55:15I have an image to maintain.
00:55:19Yes, of course.
00:55:21Hmm?
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.
00:55:40I 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.
00:55:52Bravo, bravo.
00:55:54That was quite an inspiring sales pitch, Ms. Hendrix.
00:55:59You must be Mr. Dorsey's son.
00:56:01It's a great pleasure.
00:56:03Ms. Hendrix and I were just having a little chat.
00:56:05Naturally, I'll still be investing in Dorsey Tech.
00:56:08Yeah, so, if you're here chasing investments, I would suggest you just give up and go home.
00:56:14With us here, you won't get a ransom from these guys.
00:56:16That's right.
00:56:17Over 90% of the guests here have already invested in our new AI tech program.
00:56:24Best get out while you still can.
00:56:27I'm afraid they're right.
00:56:28We've already spent our investment money in promoting Dorsey's new AI platform, so...
00:56:33And I can assure you that any investment you've made will not be wasted.
00:56:38And your money will be paid back in tenfold.
00:56:41At 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.
00:57:23Ms. Hendricks.
00:57:25Didn'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.
00:57:33Then what do you want?
00:57:35Ms. Hendricks.
00:57:36Investors know to hedge their bets.
00:57:39What Hendricks Tech is doing is impressive, and I want to offer my help.
00:57:45I 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,
00:58:35completely eclipsing the efforts of their chief competitor, Hendricks Tech,
00:58:39which also launched their new platform, AI King, on the same day.
00:58:46Everyone at Hendricks has guts, I'll give her that.
00:58:48But dropping her new product on the same day as us?
00:58:51That is career suicide.
00:58:54Let's get to the office, Griffin.
00:58:56Yes, 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.
00:59:28The bad news is that Hendricks Tech's AI platform is much more impressive than we thought.
00:59:32The good news is that their consumer numbers are nowhere close to ours.
00:59:37Okay, uh, alright, I'll take it.
00:59:40I'll take it.
00:59:41Like I said, we're unbeatable.
00:59:44Come on, let's celebrate.
00:59:45No, no, not yet.
00:59:48How did Hendricks Tech even get that product out in that timeline?
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.
01:00:04Lead engineer?
01:00:06Eric?
01:00:08I thought he was supposed to be a nobody.
01:00:11Right?
01:00:18Dad, what's up?
01:00:20William, I'm on my way to the office to congratulate you and Eric.
01:00:24Oh, uh, got it.
01:00:28The boss is coming.
01:00:29We can talk to him about my promotion.
01:00:31Shit.
01:00:32Guys, this isn't good.
01:00:34What, what is it now?
01:00:35Our AI platform and company server have both crashed.
01:00:39What the fuck?
01:00:40Right?
01:00:41Every time.
01:00:44Seriously.
01:00:46God damn, dude.
01:00:51What the fuck is going on?
01:00:52Mr. Martin, the AI platform just crashed out of nowhere and brought the whole server down along with it.
01:00:57Then don't just sit around like an idiot.
01:00:59Fix it!
01:01:00Sir, this is an issue with the system's core framework.
01:01:02We didn't build that.
01:01:04What do you mean you didn't build it?
01:01:05We're using the same framework that Eric built before he left.
01:01:07Eric, the guy I fired?
01:01:09Yeah, Eric with a K.
01:01:10E-R-I-K.
01:01:14You took credit for someone else's work.
01:01:16You lied to me!
01:01:18Mr. Dorsey, let me explain.
01:01:20No, there is no time for explanation.
01:01:21Why didn't you rebuild the core framework?
01:01:23Mr. Dorsey, we need to focus on getting the company server up and running.
01:01:26Our users' trust depends on it.
01:01:28Speak!
01:01:29What happened to the company server?
01:01:31Sir, he was the one.
01:01:32I didn't do shit!
01:01:34Shut your mouth. Go.
01:01:35The solution he used, the amelioration algorithm, after the last two crashes,
01:01:39it's not designed as a long-term solution to the serious concurrency bug in the code.
01:01:44Every time that bug is reproduced, it leads to more serious corruption.
01:01:47It's been a ticking time bomb ever since.
01:01:50This time, the AI platform went down, brought the whole server down along with it.
01:01:54It's completely unfixable.
01:01:58This was all your fault.
01:02:01William, all of our users are switching over to Hendrix Tech AI platform.
01:02:04What should we do?
01:02:05How the fuck am I supposed to know?
01:02:13Mr. Dorsey, what on earth is going on?
01:02:15I'm not going to let you assholes drag me down like this.
01:02:17Look, sir, I can explain. I'm sorry, okay? It's got to be fixed.
01:02:21I have billions of dollars invested in you, dammit.
01:02:23I'm going to make sure the whole industry knows about this scandal.
01:02:26Dorsey Tech is finished.
01:02:34500,000? We just passed 500,000!
01:02:37You guys, 98, 99, 1 million!
01:02:421 million!
01:02:43Oh 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. This is all your fault!
01:03:02Mr. Dorsey.
01:03:04Fuck!
01:03:05I wanted to help you. I was trying to help the company.
01:03:08I've had enough of your bullshit.
01:03:10You fired half the bloody tech department.
01:03:12What was I supposed to do? And you gave us impossible deadlines.
01:03:16No, no, no, don't make this about me.
01:03:18I get it now. You were using my promotion as bait.
01:03:21You were never going to make me VP.
01:03:23You want your job or not?
01:03:25Is that a threat? Fire me. Do it.
01:03:28You think I won't?
01:03:30If Eric leaves, so do I.
01:03:33Me too.
01:03:35See, when you fired everyone, I replaced them with my people.
01:03:41Go ahead, fire me. You'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.
01:03:54William!
01:03:59William!
01:04:01I'm ashamed to call you my son.
01:04:06What the hell have you done to my company?
01:04:09Dad, I'm sorry.
01:04:12I'm not here for apologies.
01:04:18What the hell is this idiot doing here?
01:04:20I thought you fired him.
01:04:22Where's Eric?
01:04:24Dad, I fired Eric.
01:04:27You fired him?
01:04:30Was that a mistake?
01:04:35Dad, are you okay?
01:04:37Hey, are you okay?
01:04:40I busted my fucking balls to get Eric to Dorsey Tech.
01:04:46He was the backbone behind this company.
01:04:49And what did you do?
01:04:51You fired him.
01:04:55So, um, it was Eric with a K all along?
01:04:59Oh, I fucked up.
01:05:01God, I fucked up.
01:05:03Where is Eric now?
01:05:05I will get down on my knees and beg him to come back.
01:05:10Um, Eric is at Hendrix Tech.
01:05:16You are a sorry excuse for a son.
01:05:21You destroyed my company.
01:05:25Sir?
01:05:27Bad news.
01:05:29It appears that the server crash was just the beginning.
01:05:31What's going on?
01:05:33The crash also affected our automobile software.
01:05:36There have been at least 30 car accidents across the U.S.
01:05:40Oh, fuck.
01:05:42Six people have died.
01:05:49No, no, this isn't my fault.
01:05:52No, this isn't my fault.
01:05:54It was Eric's fault.
01:05:55Eric with a K.
01:05:56It was his code that was faulty.
01:05:58No, that's fucking bullshit.
01:06:00I 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.
01:06:52Mr. Brown, looks like your contract worked in our favor.
01:06:56So we will not be returning the $5 billion you invested.
01:07:00And again, thank you for your generosity.
01:07:02Wait, do I at least deserve some dividends?
01:07:05I'm sorry, Mr. Brown.
01:07:07But the terms you insisted on were very clear.
01:07:10We beat Dorsey Tech, so we owe you nothing.
01:07:13Which includes any dividends you might have otherwise received.
01:07:16What?
01:07:17No.
01:07:19No.
01:07:20No more buts.
01:07:22Goodbye, Mr. Brown.
01:07:30Dorsey.
01:07:31Tonight, I'll give you that reward I was telling you about.
01:07:35Oh.
01:07:36I'm sure it'll be very special.
01:07:39You have no idea.
01:07:42Eric!
01:07:45I know I messed up before.
01:07:48It's all over for Dorsey Tech now.
01:07:51Isn't there anything you can do to help me?
01:07:55What the hell are you doing grabbing my boyfriend?
01:07:59Boyfriend?
01:08:01That's right.
01:08:02I'm his girlfriend now.
01:08:04We're living together and we're getting married soon, too.
01:08:08But you...
01:08:10You can't...
01:08:12No, it's not possible.
01:08:14He was mine first.
01:08:16You dumped him and you treated him like trash.
01:08:21It's a little late for you to come crawling back.
01:08:25Guys, can we...
01:08:28Eric.
01:08:30Eric.
01:08:39You're hot when you're bossy.
01:08:41You like?
01:08:42Yeah.
01:08:43Eric.
01:08:44What?
01:08:48Eric.
01:08:50What is it now?
01:08:59Eric.
01:09:01You know how much I've known for you.
01:09:04Dorsey Tech is in dire straits.
01:09:08We need your help.
01:09:10Mr. Dorsey.
01:09:11All those things you gave me.
01:09:13I returned when your son accused me of hacking the company's server
01:09:17and demanding compensation.
01:09:20Oh, 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.
01:09:46I don't want your fake apology,
01:09:48and I'm not coming back to you.
01:09:52So, would you please leave our office?
01:09:58Now, would you please leave our office?
01:10:03We wish Dorsey Tech the very best.
01:10:10You fucking doomed us, son!
01:10:14You doomed Dorsey Tech!
01:10:18Dad, dad, dad!
01:10:20Dad!
01:10:21Dad!
01:10:22Dad!
01:10:23Dad!
01:10:24Dad!
01:10:25Dad!
01:10:26Dad!
01:10:27Dad!
01:10:28Dad!
01:10:29Dad!
01:10:30Dad!
01:10:31Dad!
01:10:32Dad!
01:10:33Dad!
01:10:34Dad!
01:10:35Dad!
01:10:36Dad!
01:10:38Dad!
01:10:39Dad!
01:10:40Dad!
01:10:41So, you're really not going to help them?
01:10:45They'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.
01:10:57I
