Short filmTranscript
00:00Big CEO vote at the next tech demo.
00:04Who's Todd working classes?
00:06Lucas Trent. He's the CTO of Icarus Tech.
00:09The board will continue to see me and my tech as the superior choice.
00:14As always.
00:16And who is Superman?
00:18Raymond Kenworth, CEO and my boss.
00:21This looks like a good time to leave.
00:24Working late, ladies?
00:31What can I get you, hun?
00:35Maybe you can ask your boss if I can work here too?
00:37Things aren't going well at Icarus Tech?
00:41My boss is at Alpha Perk who thinks a daily quota of 500 lines of code should be the norm.
00:48Maybe I can help. I know Python, JavaScript, and C++.
00:56I'm done.
00:58My boss would love someone as smart as you.
01:01And he's the most eligible tech bachelor in the world.
01:07Working late, ladies?
01:09Well, before you head out, would you mind settling a debate for us?
01:14Um, we should just go.
01:16What was the problem?
01:20Well, who should run this company?
01:22Me. Calm, elegant, eloquent.
01:26Superstar or muscles over here busting out of his suit.
01:31I mean, the broad shoulders are nice.
01:35But maybe the one with the smile should be out front.
01:39Why don't you have an Icarus badge?
01:41I'm fucked.
01:43I'm calling security.
01:46That's not necessary. She's my new assistant.
01:51You're bringing in new faces? Seriously? Now?
01:55Yeah, smart, new, and let's be frank, beautiful faces is exactly what we need in this stuffy office, right?
02:03I'll be filing a complaint with HR first thing tomorrow.
02:07On the count that you referred to an employee as beautiful?
02:11I didn't mind.
02:13And I know you're aware that I enacted a hiring freeze so that we could bring in some skilled talent.
02:20That is a second violation.
02:25And you, that is your first strike for not wearing your employee badge, which must be visible on your person at all times.
02:32And being new is not an excuse.
02:34I'll take your name, please.
02:36It's Octavia.
02:38Nice to meet you. Raymond, is it?
02:40It's Mr. Kentworth.
02:42Or sir. Or just steer clear of me completely.
02:46In fact, let's just leave it at I don't want to see your face again.
02:53Okay. Goodbye to you too, Ray-Ray.
02:56You guys are full of protein shakes.
02:59Sorry, ladies.
03:02Well, this was fun.
03:04Which time we leave?
03:06Actually, I'd like to speak to my new assistant, though, privately.
03:10Oh, yes, sir.
03:12See you tomorrow.
03:17So, Octavia, we've been together so long already that I forget how it all started.
03:24It all started with me walking out of my waitressing job and fixing Gracie's coat
03:28because I'm something of a fantastic coder who has built some mildly infiltrating software in the past.
03:34Well, consider me mildly infiltrated.
03:39How about we get you on my payroll officially?
03:43You don't need my resume, Mr. Trent?
03:45Lucas, get used to it.
03:47You'll be saying it a lot.
03:49No resume.
03:51I have a good feeling about you.
03:537.40 a.m.
03:55Dress nice, because I don't impress easy.
04:01Dress nice.
04:05Oh, dear.
04:16You must be Octavia.
04:18Thank you for coming here from what appears to be that 70s show.
04:22You look so retro.
04:24Yeah, threw together what I could.
04:26I can see that.
04:28Next time, maybe dress for success.
04:30I will do my best.
04:37Your best probably won't last very long.
04:40My best is coding programs from the ass up.
04:43Your best looks like it's hoping someone likes you when you're face down.
04:47I told you to steer clear.
04:49That includes my assistant, Lila.
04:51It's all right, sir.
04:53I wouldn't want any of her rubbing off on me.
05:08This is my first corporate gig.
05:10It's fine.
05:11It's not the clothes.
05:13It's what's underneath that's important.
05:16And I can see the makings of an excellent personal assistant.
05:21That being said, Bella, dear, bring us some outfits so Octavia can dress as good as she deserves.
05:28No, you don't need to do all that for me.
05:31Outfits on its way.
05:33That's a thing.
05:35They are, and it is.
05:37Look, I just want you to feel as good as you look.
05:40Wow.
05:41You really are sweet, huh?
05:43Hang around me long enough, you may get a cavity.
05:47There she is.
05:49Beautiful, no?
05:50Yeah.
05:51It's kind of sexy for work, though, isn't it?
05:55Standard attire, dear.
06:07Wow.
06:09Well, now that you've looked the part, it's time to play the part.
06:12Does that mean you're going to tell me exactly what it is your assistant does?
06:15It's simple, really.
06:16Organize my calendar, book my transport, prioritize and screen my emails.
06:22Respond only when appropriate.
06:23Oh, and make sure you capture the essence of my wig.
06:27I think I have a handle on that already.
06:29Prepare my agendas, take minutes at my meetings.
06:32Oh, and by the way, we do have a business dinner tonight.
06:35I hope you're used to working long hours.
06:37I pull doubles at the coffee shop most days.
06:39Used to.
06:41Now you work for the biggest name in the valley, and I have something very important for you.
06:48Oh?
06:53You need to tell ugly Betty to apologize, Raymond.
06:56I'm running a company, Lila.
06:57I don't have time for your petty office rivalries.
07:00Besides, I can't play favorites.
07:04You don't play favorites?
07:07I try not to.
07:11I thought I was your favorite.
07:14But do you not like your sweet little Lila anymore?
07:17You're an important member of the team, Lila. That hasn't changed.
07:23How important?
07:27I need Raymond to sign it.
07:30I'm fairly certain he said something that rhymes with,
07:33I never want to see you again. Remember?
07:37His loss. But either way, he told you to stay away, but he likes you more.
07:43Why?
07:45Because Raymond's always been a little jealous of me.
07:48Guys want what they can't have.
07:50And what would that be?
07:52A pretty lady like you in his office.
07:54HR must have a field date with you.
07:58I will get this document signed.
08:04I have important work to attend to if I'm going to keep Lucas from taking my position.
08:09Now please, be a team player and get back to work.
08:15Oh my. Is this where I get a programming manual tattooed on my chest?
08:19It's not what it looks like.
08:21Interesting. Because it looks like you were just merging your code bases.
08:27I thought I told you to steer clear.
08:29And if you hadn't stared me up and down the lobby this morning, I'd believe you too.
08:33You may want to refer to your employee handbook on how to speak to your co-workers.
08:37Will I find telling my co-workers to steer clear in the handbook?
08:42What do you want?
08:43Mr. Trent would like for you to sign this.
08:54Did you need something, sir?
08:57A pen.
09:00Do I need a lower cut dress in order for you to sign, sir?
09:05That's two strikes, Octavia. You won't be lucky with a third.
09:10Now get back to me not seeing you.
09:14Yes, sir.
09:23What took you so long?
09:25Was he busy?
09:28You could say that.
09:31Is our big dumb ray of sunshine as happy to see you as I am?
09:35I don't think that man is happy to see his own mother.
09:40Oh, I need to take this. You know what? Just do some work on the desk there, huh?
09:56Project Phoenix.
09:58Hey, Octavia, could you grab some coffee?
10:02Hey, I'm not trying to make you go. I just like to watch you leave.
10:09Yes, sir.
10:16You hear that, right?
10:17Lucas is a bit of a perv, but nothing I can't handle. It's a foot in the door.
10:22Just wish I was coding, not back at my old job getting coffee instead of serving coffee.
10:27No offense, guys. I still love you all.
10:32But seriously, watching Raymond and his girlfriend almost do it while I'm here, not coding?
10:38Raymond doesn't have a girlfriend.
10:40Devil wears not a girl, Lila. Forget about Raymond.
10:44What project?
10:45Project Phoenix.
10:47How do you know about Project Phoenix?
10:52I'm sorry?
10:53That is the codename of Raymond's top secret project. How do you know about that?
10:56It was written on the-
10:57Is that why you helped me with my code? Are you a black hat here to steal our secrets?
11:01What? Of course not. I was just trying to help.
11:05Looks like that worked out pretty well for you.
11:07What's that supposed to mean?
11:08You played me.
11:09Looks like that worked out pretty well for you.
11:12What's that supposed to mean?
11:13You played me.
11:14You are seriously overreacting. Save it.
11:16Thank you for helping me before, but I don't think we should talk anymore.
11:21Gracie, wait!
11:23Are you talking like that yet?
11:26Oh my gosh. I'm so sorry, dear.
11:29It's alright.
11:31Ugh.
11:36If I knew you looked like that, I never would have quit.
11:40Another coffee, please.
11:55This place is nice. I'm expecting even the waiters to have waiters.
11:59I saved that for my second dates.
12:02So you aren't firing me?
12:04Why would I fire you?
12:05I was late with your coffee.
12:08Let me tell you something. That coffee was going to be the third hottest thing in the room with us.
12:14Mr. Trent, I thought this was a business dinner, but you called it a date.
12:21Did I?
12:23You're right. I did.
12:25You know what? I'll get us some more wine.
12:27Waitress, another bottle, please.
12:30So...
12:33Octavia.
12:35I...
12:37I have a question for you, Mr. Trent.
12:39Lucas is fine.
12:41What exactly is Project Phoenix?
12:44A pet project of mine.
12:46Meant to be a revolutionary breakthrough in AI, but I had to keep it hush-hush.
12:51Raymond has a nasty habit of taking things that don't belong to him.
12:55He seems rude and domineering, but I didn't know he was a thief.
13:00Oh, it's sad. Sad, but true.
13:03You know, Octavia, I really appreciate you bringing that to my attention.
13:09And I knew it. I knew it. No, I knew it when I first laid eyes on you.
13:14I knew you were exactly what I needed to protect what's mine in this nasty business.
13:21If I wanted a date, I would have asked for one.
13:23Okay.
13:25I want to prove to you that I'm a great coder.
13:28And I think it's a position that I'm better suited for.
13:32So why don't you drop off your resume?
13:34I'll expect it first thing in the morning.
13:36And how much coding experience can I expect to see on that?
13:39I'm self-taught.
13:41And I've never officially held a position as a coder.
13:44But I've written some amazing...
13:47You know, I think personal assistant has been more than generous.
13:50Call me a car. I expect to have it here when I get back from the restroom.
13:54Oh, and you'll have to find your own way home.
14:14Whatever it is, make it quick.
14:16Good evening, sir.
14:17What appears to be the problem?
14:19I... I...
14:23Quickly. I'm a busy man.
14:25I think there may be a problem with the new employee, Octavia.
14:29Agreed.
14:31She seems to have a predisposition for getting on my nerves.
14:35It's more than that, sir.
14:37She's beyond good at coding.
14:40And earlier today, she mentioned...
14:43Project Phoenix.
14:45Project Phoenix?
14:48She what?
14:55Look who finally learned to dress like an adult.
14:58Just like your parents.
15:00I'm almost proud of you.
15:02Oh, stop with the mom jokes, dear.
15:05You don't look a day older than 50.
15:08You know, with the big shareholder meeting coming up,
15:11I think it makes more sense if you do the boring stuff.
15:14The financial projections, the performance analysis.
15:18I guess that leaves you to deliver the technology keynote.
15:21Well, I am the chief technology officer.
15:24Technology is kind of my thing.
15:26You do know that the annual CEO vote is merely a formality.
15:30But the shareholders will continue to be loyal to the company.
15:33And by extension, to me.
15:35Well, tradition is tradition.
15:38But why don't we make sure and remind them
15:41of all the wonderful things I've done for this company.
15:44I think we're done here.
15:46Octavia, can I have a word?
15:48Alone.
15:55Sit.
15:57I prefer to stand.
15:59How do you know about Project Phoenix?
16:02Oh.
16:04Well...
16:05If you're a spy, and you're here to steal my company's...
16:07You see Thomas Thief?
16:09I think you know about something far above your pay grade.
16:12Lucas is right about you.
16:13Excuse me?
16:14Who gets a first-hand look at everybody's hard work?
16:16I think you're the thief.
16:18If anyone is a thief, it's Lucas.
16:20That man has never had an original thought in his life.
16:22Oh, that's cute, Raymond.
16:24Is he also sleeping with his assistant too?
16:26Wait, I can answer that for you.
16:28I didn't sleep with Lila.
16:30That never happened.
16:31Oh, please. You can't stop staring at her.
16:33I'm not staring at her!
16:35Octavia, where are you?
16:38We have work to do.
16:40I know all of Lucas' tricks because we used to be best friends.
16:43Until he stabbed me in the back.
16:45He has no intention of helping your career.
16:47Whatever ambition you might have.
16:52Why do you care?
16:54Care?
16:55I didn't say I care.
16:56Really?
16:58I show concern for all my employees.
17:00Maybe I shouldn't bother.
17:02Do as you please.
17:03I will.
17:09Okay.
17:30What are you doing on my computer?
17:34You know, as much as I love to just stare at each other,
17:37I'm going to need you to answer my question.
17:40I was, uh,
17:42cleaning up your box, dear.
17:44Such a mess, I had to tidy it up.
17:46Right, I know that's your job,
17:48but you're supposed to do it on your computer
17:50from out there on your desk.
17:55Mr. Trent,
17:57I'm a software engineer.
17:59The best coder you'll ever find.
18:01And I wanted to prove to you
18:03that I can do more than get coffee.
18:05How were you planning on doing that?
18:07I wanted to know more about Project Phoenix, so
18:10I was going to use my
18:12personally made intrusion software
18:15to get any info I could
18:17to show you what I'm capable of.
18:20Excuse me?
18:22It sounds insane.
18:24No, it's more like impossible.
18:26We make Cyber Fortress.
18:28It's the best in digital security.
18:31Sure, for consumers.
18:32But the business version you sell
18:34is actually worse than version 7.
18:36Bit of a rush job to make sure
18:38that people upgrade it, and well...
18:40It doesn't mean you can get it.
18:45Looks like Project Phoenix
18:47started three years ago.
18:49From here, I can see...
18:54No fucking way.
18:56You got every bit of information that fast?
18:59There's only been one system.
19:00I couldn't easily crack.
19:02There might be a warrant out for my arrest.
19:06You're amazing.
19:08And I mean it seriously this time.
19:10You're incredible.
19:12Lucas, stop.
19:14You already knew that.
19:16No, we are going to talk about
19:18a real position for you tomorrow.
19:20Yeah.
19:22Yes, sir.
19:31Meet in our usual place.
19:53You got it?
19:55Easy.
19:57Her software was sitting right there on her desk.
19:58I told you I'm your girl.
20:00You definitely, definitely are.
20:02But this might not be enough.
20:04I need you to stay close to Raymond
20:06in case we're missing something.
20:08Speaking of something that we've missed...
20:10Oh, babe, I'd love to,
20:12but with the keynote right around the corner,
20:14I actually have to make sure Phoenix is ready to go.
20:18Right.
20:20You're just always so busy.
20:22I'll make time in a couple of weeks
20:24when I'm CEO.
20:26Don't you worry your beautiful little
20:28and everything.
20:31Wait.
20:33You talked to your fiancé, right?
20:35Soon.
20:37I promise.
20:39You know who I want by my side
20:41when I'm CEO.
20:53Oh, come on now.
20:55I really do miss you, Peter.
20:56My new boss is nice,
20:58but a girl can't replace her first.
21:00You weren't suckable.
21:06Hello, Icarus team.
21:08Lucas here,
21:10and I have something I think you're all gonna love.
21:12A new pet project of mine
21:14come to fruition.
21:16Nothing surprising there.
21:18Why wouldn't he tell me about this?
21:20What the heck is going on?
21:22I'd like to introduce you
21:24to a very special guest.
21:26A very powerful little tool
21:28we developed
21:30to show vulnerabilities
21:32in any system.
21:34No.
21:36This software is able to get
21:38into just about anything
21:40you can shake a line of code at.
21:42This software is even powerful enough
21:44to slip by our very own
21:46Cyber Fortress security software.
21:49No small feat.
21:51Better tell them who made this.
21:53My team worked tirelessly
21:54to bring this software to life.
21:56Better.
21:58But none more than me.
22:00Which is why I'm calling it
22:02Trent Trojan.
22:04I needed you all to know
22:06just what lengths
22:08I'm willing to go to
22:10to guarantee success
22:12in this company.
22:14So just remember when the vote comes up,
22:16if you want money and security
22:18in this company,
22:20a vote for me is mandatory.
22:22Oh, and Cyber Fortress
22:24team, you better have a patch
22:26by tomorrow or we're gonna have
22:28a lot of unhappy customers.
22:30Ciao.
22:35Have a patch by tomorrow
22:37or we're gonna have a lot
22:38of unhappy customers.
22:40Ciao.
22:43Lucas either built
22:45an entirely new software
22:46without me noticing
22:48or he's up to his old tricks again.
22:50You still have Project Phoenix.
22:52I'm sure you'll be able
22:53to finish it in time
22:54for the big meeting.
22:56It's a showstopper.
22:58If I work nonstop
23:00between now and then
23:02it should be presentable.
23:04But if anything else goes wrong,
23:06my position as CEO
23:08could be in jeopardy.
23:10I'm here for you, Raymond.
23:12If you're working nonstop,
23:14I work nonstop.
23:16I may not be able to code,
23:18but I could be there
23:20for you in other ways.
23:24I don't need you slowing me down, Lila.
23:26I've been able to handle
23:27everything up until now.
23:29This will be no exception.
23:31But Raymond...
23:32That'll be all, Lila.
23:34You're dismissed.
23:37Yes, sir.
23:45Well, maybe I could
23:46pick up a few shifts.
23:47I can work evenings.
23:50Your old position
23:51has already been taken.
23:53Sorry, Octavia.
23:58Oh, hello, Gracie.
24:00Still not your mole.
24:02But don't worry,
24:03I won't be at Icarus any longer.
24:05I'm sorry, Octavia.
24:08I saw the video.
24:09Lucas took credit
24:10for your software, didn't he?
24:12Of course he did.
24:14Raymond warned me about Lucas.
24:16I can't go back and work for him.
24:19You can code.
24:20Like, really code.
24:21I mean, if you made
24:22something so good
24:23that the CTO of Icarus Tech
24:24stole it and claimed it
24:25as his own,
24:26you're a world-class coder.
24:28You can't work here
24:29in a coffee shop.
24:30You didn't let me quit,
24:31and I'm not gonna let you quit.
24:32You need to speak to Raymond.
24:34I can't.
24:35Now!
24:36Yes, ma'am.
24:37Tell him what you know
24:38about Lucas.
24:52I need to speak to you.
24:54I'm listening.
24:56I wanted to prove to Lucas
24:57that I can do more
24:58than just deliver coffee,
25:00and so with my
25:01infiltration software I built,
25:03I was able to
25:05access Project Phoenix files.
25:08Lucas has my
25:09Project Phoenix files?
25:11So it really is
25:12your project?
25:14Whose else would it be?
25:15He said it was his.
25:16He then went on
25:17to introduce my software
25:18as his own to the company.
25:19Now you know
25:20the truth about him.
25:22Aren't you gonna say
25:23I told you so?
25:25No.
25:28I had a feeling
25:29he had nothing to do
25:30with that software.
25:32I'm sorry.
25:34But if he has my software,
25:35he might have access
25:36to all of your work.
25:38I have a proposal for you.
25:41But first,
25:42I'm gonna need an apology.
25:44You certainly do
25:45deserve a proposal.
25:46You strike me
25:47as a woman
25:48who lives by merit.
25:50Earn it.
26:02Good morning,
26:03Mr. Trent.
26:04Good morning,
26:05my absolute favorite assistant.
26:07Rebecca,
26:08the best CTO.
26:10And this is
26:11my ticket for office.
26:13Did you see
26:14the big news?
26:15Did you see
26:16the big announcement
26:17about our intrusion software?
26:20No.
26:21I'm afraid
26:22I must have missed
26:23the big announcement.
26:24It made a big splash,
26:25and I knew it would.
26:26I mean,
26:27the fact that it could
26:28crack our system,
26:29that's huge.
26:31This new software
26:32is the final piece
26:33in me securing CEO.
26:36Happy for you, sir.
26:38You said
26:39you wanted to discuss
26:40with me about getting
26:41an official role
26:42as a programmer?
26:43Happy for us.
26:44A rising time
26:45raises all ships.
26:46Once I secure my position,
26:48so too will yours be.
26:51I suppose
26:52I can wait
26:53a little bit longer
26:54if
26:55I could get
26:56a second dinner.
26:58Octavia,
26:59you drive
27:00a hard bargain.
27:02And I'm a Ferrari
27:03of a negotiator.
27:05Tonight,
27:067.30.
27:08See you tonight, Lucas.
27:15So what are your plans
27:16for my...
27:18I mean
27:19your
27:20software?
27:21Our
27:22software.
27:23Don't be mad at me.
27:24I'm not mad.
27:25The developments
27:26of my subordinate,
27:27my peers,
27:28do in fact
27:29belong to me.
27:30And it is
27:31my job
27:32to present that work.
27:33It's on the contract.
27:35But don't worry.
27:36I know
27:37I promised
27:38to make it up to you
27:39and I never
27:40ever
27:41break a promise.
27:42So,
27:45what else
27:46has my Octavia
27:47been working on?
27:49Uh...
27:53Come on, Octavia.
27:55This CEO push
27:56guarantees us
27:57a solid future
27:58where we can do
27:59great work
28:00together.
28:02Really?
28:03Really.
28:05Let me make it up
28:06to you,
28:07really.
28:08How about
28:09we get out of here?
28:10How about
28:11we get out of here?
28:12Go somewhere
28:13just the two of us.
28:14Somewhere close,
28:15somewhere meaningful.
28:17Beautiful suite
28:18downtown.
28:20I want to make sure
28:21you remember this
28:22promise.
28:24Yes, ma'am.
28:25I will.
28:26So how about
28:27we go somewhere
28:28closer?
28:30Like
28:31on the desk
28:33back at the office?
28:35Yeah, desk is fine.
28:36Yeah, desk is fine.
28:42Just, uh...
28:43Come on, Ferrari.
28:45Oh,
28:46boy.
28:50Ah, here I come!
29:06You really have
29:07everything ready
29:08at the snap
29:09of your finger.
29:10Well, if that were true,
29:11this would already
29:12be our third date.
29:14You really think
29:15you're all that?
29:16I've known it
29:17all my life,
29:18but what I am curious about
29:19is when you
29:20caught on.
29:22Somewhere between
29:25the hiring,
29:26the clothes,
29:27and the dinner.
29:29Oh,
29:30speaking about
29:31in between
29:32the clothes...
29:34You think I came here
29:35for just your shirt,
29:36Mr. Trent?
29:38I want a show.
29:44Those pants
29:45are not working,
29:46Mr. Trent.
29:48Maybe I should call
29:49Bella to bring
29:50some more options.
29:54I don't think we need
29:55Bella for this.
30:02Interesting.
30:03You know,
30:04my mind
30:05hasn't been working
30:06right ever since
30:07I saw you.
30:08And I was hoping
30:09that you could
30:10set me straight.
30:14After stealing
30:15my software,
30:17I have a mind to.
30:19I...
30:20No.
30:22You're in trouble
30:23now, mister.
30:26Yeah?
30:28What are you going
30:29to do to me?
30:30Oh.
30:32Nothing.
30:35You really upset me.
30:36And I just remember
30:37I'm mad at you.
30:39Wait, what?
30:41Hey.
30:42Let's just...
30:43Let's just talk.
30:44I'm sorry.
30:45I have to find
30:46my own way home.
30:49Octavia?
30:51Hey, listen.
30:52You walk out that door.
30:53Don't bother
30:54coming in
30:55tomorrow morning.
30:57I might not be
30:58the only one.
31:01Hey!
31:10You may need to
31:11call Lucas an ambulance.
31:12Oh?
31:14He's got a buffer overflow
31:15that can really
31:16use some relief.
31:19I think he'll be fine.
31:20His system's about to get
31:21seriously penetrated.
31:25Mister,
31:26can't worry.
31:27I was not aware
31:28that you knew
31:29how to crack jokes.
31:31Or hack.
31:33I've been known to breach
31:34a few firewalls in my day.
31:35I bet you have.
31:38And what about you, Octavia?
31:39I'm encrypted,
31:40Mister Kenworth.
31:43But I could be decrypted
31:44and explored
31:45with the right key.
31:47Assuming your network
31:48is big enough.
31:51I can see what he's
31:52gotten himself into.
31:57It's everything.
32:00He has all of my files
32:01on Project Phoenix.
32:02Shit.
32:04It's all because
32:05of my software.
32:07No.
32:09It's because I kept him
32:10at arm's length.
32:12Just out of sight.
32:14It's what I do
32:15with everyone around here.
32:19Well,
32:21maybe it's time
32:22you started
32:23letting some people in.
32:25Starting with me.
32:26Starting with me.
32:32This is not the first time
32:33he's stolen my work.
32:35He went behind my back
32:36and presented my code
32:37for Cyber Fortress
32:38to the board.
32:40And they made him CTO.
32:43Why didn't you tell them?
32:45Tell the board he's a thief.
32:47It was hard to prove.
32:50And maybe that's just
32:51my excuse.
32:54The real reason is
32:55it was a difficult decision.
32:57Like I said,
32:58Lucas and I were very close.
33:00And perhaps I thought
33:01we could put it behind us.
33:04But now I know we can't.
33:07He's coming for me.
33:09Well,
33:10now you have proof.
33:12Time to defend the throne,
33:13isn't it?
33:15It certainly is.
33:22Damn.
33:23Damn.
33:25I lingered too long.
33:26He's going to know
33:27we're in the system.
33:28Do you have a plan?
33:32He'll be working hard
33:33to complete Phoenix.
33:35And so will we.
33:36We?
33:38Together.
33:40Work with me.
33:42With you
33:43or for you?
33:46You and I,
33:47together,
33:48we can complete this software
33:49and we can take Lucas down.
33:51Out him in front of the board.
33:53So,
33:54are you offering me a job?
33:56Because Lucas
33:57kind of fired me
33:58a couple minutes ago.
33:59So...
34:00Hmm.
34:02I guess if you no longer work here,
34:03it's okay for me to do this.
34:16Well,
34:18now that we
34:19are
34:20officially
34:23partners,
34:25why don't we celebrate?
34:27A celebratory dinner?
34:29I was thinking
34:30a little dessert.
34:46That two-timing bitch
34:47broke into my system.
34:49She thinks
34:50she can fuck over
34:51Lucas.
34:52Lucas goddamn
34:53Trent!
34:55Fuck!
35:02All that yelling
35:04That two-timing bitch
35:05broke into my system.
35:07She thinks
35:08she can fuck over
35:09Lucas goddamn
35:10Trent!
35:12Fuck!
35:20All that yelling
35:21can't be good.
35:23Losing your voice
35:24before the keynote
35:25is a bad look.
35:26You know what?
35:27Here we go.
35:28What are you gonna do?
35:29Something slick now too?
35:30I would never.
35:31I came here
35:32to tell you something.
35:33What?
35:34That crude little
35:35assistant of yours
35:36has been going
35:37behind your back
35:38and working with Raymond.
35:39You know what?
35:40I already figured
35:41that one out, slick.
35:42Okay?
35:43I just need something more.
35:44I got my throne.
35:45It's so close
35:46and I'm not gonna let that
35:47that bitch
35:48take it away from me now!
35:52Fuck.
36:01Babe.
36:02I need you.
36:05Only you
36:06can make me feel better.
36:21Just ignore that, baby.
36:24Hi.
36:25Hi, honey.
36:26Hey, what's going on?
36:31Yeah.
36:32Yeah, of course
36:33I can leave early.
36:34Come on.
36:35Yeah, no, just
36:36you know,
36:37getting some exercise in.
36:39Of course I can
36:40pick him up
36:41at a soccer practice
36:42and a bottle of wine.
36:44Oh, all right.
36:45Yeah, I can do that.
36:46Aren't you in a good mood, huh?
36:48Yeah.
36:49Yeah, babe.
36:50I'll see you soon.
37:00I'm having a bad day.
37:10What happened to you?
37:13I love him.
37:15I love him.
37:17He promised me
37:19that...
37:27Raymond?
37:29No, Lucas.
37:31But I saw you and Raymond.
37:33He doesn't want anything
37:34to do with me.
37:35It's Lucas.
37:36It's always been Lucas.
37:38He promised me
37:39he was going to leave his fiancé
37:40and like an idiot
37:41I believed him.
37:42Oh, my.
37:44Lucas has a fiancé?
37:47I would have given
37:49anything for him.
37:51And he knew that.
37:53But he didn't care.
37:54He doesn't care about
37:55anyone but himself.
37:57It's going to be all right.
38:01No.
38:03No, it won't.
38:05Because worst of all,
38:07I betrayed Raymond.
38:10No.
38:11And I stole your software.
38:13I gave it to Lucas.
38:16So it was you?
38:17I'm so sorry.
38:19I'm such an idiot.
38:20I'm so stupid.
38:21Your words.
38:23Betraying Raymond for Lucas?
38:26Raymond hired me.
38:28He taught me everything.
38:30Except how to steal.
38:32That skill came from Lucas.
38:38I didn't like you
38:39when we first met, Lila.
38:41Still don't.
38:43But hating each other
38:45doesn't do any good
38:46for either of us.
38:47I'm not saying it was
38:48snobby catty anymore
38:49because it's too much fun,
38:51but...
38:53Thanks.
38:54Or something adjacent.
38:56You could just say
38:57that I finally outtrust you.
38:59No need to cover me in snot.
39:01Not even on a cold day in hell.
39:05Feel like getting some revenge?
39:07I don't just feel like it.
39:09I plan on it.
39:16Lucas won't know what hit him.
39:28Esteemed investors
39:29and executive members
39:30of Icarus Tax Board.
39:32Today I would like to reveal
39:33the culmination of countless
39:35hours of work.
39:37Phoenix.
39:39The most advanced
39:40in learning AI assistance.
39:46If you would all be so kind
39:47to direct your attention
39:48to the screen,
39:49I would like to give you
39:50a full and thorough demonstration
39:52of Phoenix's abilities.
39:54You know, I think Raymond's
39:56been so involved
39:57with the nitty gritty
39:58that he forgot
39:59the most important
40:01introduction of the day.
40:03I mean, who better
40:04to demonstrate
40:05this world-changing software
40:07than the man
40:09that was instrumental
40:10in bringing it to life.
40:13Yes, this humble odyssey
40:15obviously comes from the mind
40:17of your most brilliant CTO,
40:20Lucas Trent.
40:26Without further ado,
40:28I want to introduce you
40:30to my baby, Phoenix.
40:36Good morning, Phoenix.
40:37Good morning, Lucas.
40:39Who knows,
40:40Good morning, Lucas.
40:42Who needs hands
40:43when Phoenix recognizes my voice?
40:47Say, Phoenix,
40:48I'm driving
40:49and need some stats
40:50pulled up on how much money
40:52I've made for this company.
40:54I can tell you're at
40:55the Icarus Tech boardroom,
40:56and according to the calendar,
40:58this is the important keynote
41:00with your very intelligent investors
41:02and beautiful board members.
41:05I think she gets that from me.
41:08Yes, you caught me, Phoenix.
41:11Can you pull up those reports?
41:13Yes, sir.
41:14I did catch you.
41:16Stealing your peers' technology,
41:18Figure 1.1
41:19shows several technologies,
41:21including Cyber Fortress
41:22and Trent Trojan,
41:24the code of which
41:25was written by others
41:26but claimed as your own.
41:29This just must be a glitch.
41:30I'll take care of it.
41:31It's fine.
41:32Just give me a second.
41:33I've also prepared
41:34a summary of sexual harassment claims
41:36against you
41:37as seen in Figure 1.2.
41:40It's quite a long list, sir.
41:44You know what?
41:45Perhaps Raymond and I
41:47were a little hasty
41:49in showing you this prototype today.
41:52Figure 1.3 shows you've also
41:54been misappropriating company funds.
41:58I think our chief technology officer
42:00is having some technical difficulties.
42:07Hey, Phoenix.
42:08Let's lighten up the mood
42:09with our latest financial projections.
42:15With all that you have witnessed here today,
42:17I am confident to say
42:18that it is only upward from here.
42:21And with my continued support as CEO,
42:24we will, like the Phoenix,
42:26continue to rise again
42:27as we fly into a deeper future.
42:37Hey, Octavia.
42:38Ah, hello, dear.
42:40Glad you could make the show.
42:41Glad you decided to listen to me.
42:43Makes a girl feel loved.
42:44Yeah, well, this job is kind of crazy,
42:46but I'm starting to love it.
42:48If either of us are planning on quitting again,
42:50we need to find each other.
42:51Absolutely.
42:56Octavia?
42:58Yes, Raymond?
42:59I'd like to see you in my office.
43:07Whoa.
43:08Superman?
43:11Whoa.
43:12Superman.
43:17Big strikes, Octavia.
43:19What did I do?
43:20You're not wearing your Icarus Tech badge.
43:22I told you a third strike wouldn't end well for you.
43:25You must think you're the CEO or something.
43:37Mmm.
43:54I like seeing you smile.
43:58Lucas is a dick.
44:02But in a way, I'm grateful for his deceit.
44:05Brought us closer together.
44:07Are we close?
44:09I hadn't noticed.
44:10Cute.
44:13It's interesting how it all worked out.
44:16Yeah, quite nicely.
44:19But it still feels as though I no longer have a CTO to answer to.
44:26I've given that some thought.
44:28Please share.
44:31I'd like to offer the CTO position to someone who actually has the brains to create new software
44:37and the skills to challenge our own.
44:40I need a partner I can trust.
44:43And I think that partner is you.
44:45Are you saying you want to see me here again?
44:48You're never going to let me live that down, will you?
44:50Probably not.
44:53I don't think I'll be letting you go this time.
44:56Then I suppose I can accept the position.
45:10Come on. Come on, Phoenix!
45:13Let's go!
45:15I can't believe you're still here.
45:18There's got to be some dirt on Raymond.
45:20I just can't get Phoenix's work and I can't get Octavia's software to work either.
45:26Lucas, dear, you lost.
45:34What did you do?
45:37You could have had all this beauty and all these brains.
45:42But instead, you chose to use me.
45:46Shame on me, really.
45:49I've seen you do it to countless others.
45:51Baby, is this about my fiancée?
45:54I promise. I was going to tell her. I was just waiting for the...
45:56Save it, Lucas.
45:57Save it? I'm serious, Lila.
46:01Sweetie, come on.
46:03That thumb drive I gave you? Courtesy of Octavia.
46:07I wouldn't say she's my bestie, but she's grown on me.
46:14You did this to me?
46:17No, Lucas. You did this to yourself.
46:31Lucas Trent.
46:35Just...
46:38Get it over with.
46:40Do you deny the misappropriation of funds,
46:42theft of your colleagues' work, and multiple counts of sexual harassment?
46:48Effective immediately, you are terminated from Icarus Tech.
46:55Just hands off the goods, you big oaf, alright?
46:58You can be rough. He's currently trespassing.
47:01I can walk myself.
47:05Easy.
47:13Not too bad.
47:16Gonna do some redecorating.
47:18It's your office. Organize how you please.
47:23This view isn't too bad either.
47:26Second best view in the city.
