00:00No, maybe we probably shouldn't, um...
00:04I'm messing with you. My place is huge. At least as big as wherever Dorsey had you.
00:10Come on, I'll show you your room.
00:13Okay.
00:17This is what you've got? You're fucking useless!
00:21Sir, the modeling framework we're working with is extremely complex.
00:25We'll need at least another month to fully understand it.
00:30A MONTH LATER
00:35A month? Not a chance!
00:37I'm gonna give you three days, and I want consistent progress reports!
00:42Sir, if we have to rush things, there'll be an increased risk for error.
00:45Then you have to work faster and smarter. I'm giving you three days!
00:50Eric!
00:51Mr. Dorsey!
00:52How are things?
00:54You dropped your keyboard.
00:56Um...
00:57Get back to work.
01:00Mr. Dorsey, things are going great. We'll be on stage two in three more days.
01:06That's good to hear. You know, I knew I could trust you with this.
01:15William, update me on the AI project.
01:18Don't sweat it, Dad. Everything's going according to plan.
01:21Wonderful. When our new platform hits the market, I'll stop by to congratulate you.
01:27Your father must be so proud of you.
01:30Keep it up. Once we hit the market, I'll be sure to let my father know how valuable you've been to us.
01:35That's exactly what I need. Who wants to be just department head?
01:39If I can keep rising the ranks, I'll be the next vice president of Dorsey Tech.
01:44Mr. Dorsey, my job is to put the plans of expert strategists like yourself into action.
01:50I believe that if I were the vice president of this company, I could do that even more effectively.
01:56If this project does well, I'll see what I can do for you.
01:59Really? That's great. Thank you so much, sir.
02:02You're up.
02:20Come on. You can keep staring at me over breakfast.
02:28Right. Breakfast.
02:34That looks amazing.
02:42When you're done with breakfast, it's time to go to bed.
02:46When you're done with breakfast, it's straight to work. Got it?
02:52Yeah, of course.
02:55Good. And when you're finished with your project, I have a reward waiting.
03:16All right, team.
03:19We have an important sprint coming up. We have a lot to do and not a lot of time.
03:24So let's get to business.
03:27And some good news for you guys. I've been in touch with the financing department,
03:31and you will be receiving paid trips to an all-inclusive resort in Cancun once we wrap.
03:37All right. Awesome. Cool.
03:40On top of that, when we go public, you will be receiving a bonus as well as a share in our product revenue.
03:47Here at Hendrix, our employees are instrumental in our success, and you will be treated as such.
03:56We're ready to make it happen, Ms. Hendrix.
03:58Oh, amen. Ms. Hendrix, we will have good news for you soon.
04:02Yeah, the news will be beat Dorsey Tech. And with Eric on our side, we can't lose.
04:06Beat Dorsey. Beat Dorsey. Beat Dorsey. Beat Dorsey. Beat Dorsey. Beat Dorsey. Beat Dorsey. Beat Dorsey.
04:36♪♪
04:46-♪♪
04:56-♪♪
05:06You're hopeless, both of you!
05:11Sir, I...
05:13Don't speak without my permission!
05:15I give you a simple task, and repeatedly you keep screwing it up!
05:20How did you blockheads get this job working here anyway?
05:25We have a whole AI framework that's just waiting to be used, yet you keep twiddling your thumbs!
05:31Either you finish this by the deadline, or you can get the fuck out!
05:36Is that clear?
05:38Yes, sir.
05:40Dad didn't tell me this Eric guy had such a hot temper.
05:43And didn't Eric say everything was going fine?
05:46Was I wrong to trust him?
05:55Mr. Dorsey!
05:57What are you doing here?
05:58Tell me the truth. Are we on track to make the deadline or not?
06:02I can assure you we're doing fine. We're just adding a few finishing touches, so things are a bit hectic.
06:09Good.
06:10But don't be afraid to ask any questions, okay?
06:12Don't want any slip-ups.
06:14Got it.
06:17Alright.
06:19Darling...
06:21Not now. Get me the reports and ask for them.
06:31Let's see where you'd be without your daddy's money, you little shit!
06:36The fuck are you looking at? Get back to work! And this time, I want results!
06:41Miss Hendricks?
06:42I've just been informed that Dorsey Tech's next-gen AI platform is nearing completion.
06:46It's just a matter of time before it hits the market.
06:48Really? That fast?
06:50Well, there's a cocktail party three days from now.
06:53Dorsey's going to be there, announcing their new product and pitching to investors.
06:57They're taking things to the next level.
06:59That William Dorsey...
07:01His real name is William Dorsey.
07:03What?
07:04William Dorsey.
07:06They're taking things to the next level.
07:07That William Dorsey...
07:09Is really milking all his connections.
07:12If this goes well for them, we're going to be in a difficult spot.
07:14Well, that much is obvious.
07:16But I don't know...
07:17Good thing we're finished, too.
07:19What? Really?
07:21Why would I lie?
07:23We've been right on pace with Dorsey this whole time.
07:25Plus, the sooner they want to go public, the easier it'll be for us.
07:29Why would it be better for us?
07:32Evelyn, remember what I told you when I first came on board?
07:37But Dorsey Tech has already developed their own AI program.
07:41That?
07:43It's a trial version.
07:45If they keep developing based on that model, then...
07:48Then what?
07:51Then we won't have to lift a finger.
08:02Hmm. So what you're saying...
08:05Is that Dorsey Tech has been building off of the trial version that you made?
08:09It's the only way they could have built it so fast.
08:11It's a rough draft with a whole mess of flaws I wouldn't make a second time.
08:15Evelyn, there's nothing for us to worry about.
08:18That does make sense.
08:20Well then, good.
08:22Thank you. I'm grateful to you and the team for all your hard work.
08:26Tell everyone in the tech department that they can take the next three days off.
08:29They'll need their rest before we bring product to market.
08:32Yes, Ms. Hendricks.
08:37This is a big day for us.
08:42Why don't we end it with a drink?
08:47Aren't you a lightweight?
08:50Who said that?
08:52I can handle my liquor, Eric.
09:00Mmm.
09:06I knew you could be fun. I knew it.
09:09I told you.
09:11See?
09:13That's why that last drink was a bad idea.
09:16It was a good idea, and I could have had at least two more.
09:20Yeah. Yeah, no, you absolutely could. Definitely.
09:24You think that you are wild.
09:27You are wild.
09:29Okay. No, no.
09:31No, we're good.
09:33See? I know we're picking.
09:35See? Super easy.
09:41Eric,
09:43now do you believe I want a guy like you?
09:50Maybe you just want a sober up.
09:58I'm sober enough.
10:03And what I want is you.
10:17William, we've been together for some time now,
10:21and my feelings for you have only grown stronger by the day.
10:25Let's get married!
10:31Hey, where are you?
10:34Everyone's out here celebrating, and you're a no-show.
10:38What a buzzkill.
10:40I'm coming.
10:43No, that's all right. You know, everyone's leaving.
10:47Don't bother.
10:49Bye.
10:54Hey. Hey.
10:56I mean, where'd you go? I missed you.
11:01It's fine.
11:03He just had a bit too much to drink.
11:06You know, there is a killer martini spot right up the street.
11:10Oh.
11:11I can get the bartender to whip up something special for you.
11:13I'd like that. What?
11:15Mm-hmm.
11:16Oh, you're so much hotter than that bitch Fernanda.
11:19Just a climber who hopped from her ex over to me.
11:22Hey, you know, she's the kind of woman you throw some money at and then send her away.
11:26That's who she is.
11:27William, how could you do this to me?
11:33You know, she, she, the funny thing is, is she thinks I actually love her.
11:38I've bagged a hundred babes that are better than her.
11:41She's delusional.
11:43Ugh, how pathetic.
11:46Probably just broke up with her boyfriend or something.
11:52Yeah, who gives a shit?
11:54You know, I'm going to break up with Fernanda soon, too.
11:57And I'll be waiting for you, Daddy.
12:00Oh, shit.
12:06God damn it!
12:08What have I done?
12:12It's going to be so awkward at work now.
12:15And I didn't even get the chance to propose to William.
12:20God damn it!
12:22What have I done?
12:26Eric.
12:29It's so cold.
12:33Eric.
12:50It's fine.
12:53I already saw everything last night anyway.
13:00How do I look?
13:05Beautiful.
13:09Come on, get up.
13:10I have your suit ready, too.
13:13Where are we going?
13:15Where else?
13:16We're going to go crash Dorsey Tech's little cocktail party.
13:46What are you doing hiding over here?
13:48I told you, you're here as my girlfriend.
13:51We have to look the part.
13:53Mr. Dorsey.
13:55With money like yours,
13:57there must be plenty of other girlfriends you can call.
14:01Okay, what's gotten into you?
14:03You want me to cut your salary or something?
14:05Because I could do that.
14:06Whatever.
14:08Just wait until I'm wasted.
14:10Drunk words are sober thoughts.
14:12Okay.
14:13Mr. Dorsey.
14:15Let's have a toast.
14:18To winning over the investors
14:20and taking over the market by storm.
14:24Cheers.
14:25Cheers.
14:42Oh, fuck.
14:45I'm in.
15:00Well, well, well.
15:01If it isn't that little rat I fired from Dorsey Tech.
15:06Miss Hendricks.
15:07I see you've taken quite a liking to this loser.
15:11An idiot.
15:12Right here.
15:13Why wouldn't I like Eric?
15:15He's a tech genius and the brains behind our new AI platform.
15:20Firing him was your loss.
15:26Okay.
15:28Thanks to Mr. Dorsey's leadership and my fearless efforts,
15:31Dorsey Tech AI platform is now reaching the market.
15:35You talk a big game.
15:37But the only reason why you're here is to ride our coattails.
15:41Oh.
15:43So what's really funny about that
15:47is that we're about to release our own AI platform.
15:51Oh, is that so?
15:54Well, you frauds don't have a shot against us.
15:57How much overtime did you use to make a platform that no one's going to use?
16:02Burn, dude.
16:03You hear that?
16:05Yeah, I would say our monopoly on the tech industry is secure.
16:10So, Miss Hendricks, why don't you go on that little love train straight to bankruptcy?
16:15We'll see which product no one wants to use.
16:19Jesus, Eric.
16:21Didn't we, like, just break up?
16:23Look at you.
16:24Already head over heels for another woman.
16:30Excuse me.
16:32What's up? Talk to me.
16:34Do you have any idea where I am?
16:37What?
16:39The server crashed?
16:43Okay, yep.
16:45Okay, yep.
16:46Um, what the fuck?
16:48The server crashed.
16:49I'll make a call.
16:50Yeah, make a call.
16:51It'll be fixed in a minute.
16:52Yeah, that's, um...
16:54Wow.
16:55He's got it.
16:56Yeah, yeah, he's got it.
16:57Use the amelioration algorithm.
17:00Yes.
17:01Do it.
17:02Amelioration algorithm.
17:04That's what I call the code I saved on my tablet, but it's only for emergencies.
17:07It won't solve the core problem.
17:09Wait, did Eric steal my tablet?
17:12Another server crash, huh?
17:14If your systems are so unpredictable, you sure people are going to trust your new product?
17:21Yeah, this doesn't concern you at all.
17:24What's up, man? We figure it out?
17:26Yeah.
17:28Got it fixed.
17:29No big deal.
17:30No big deal.
17:32Wait, did you just say the company's server crashes?
17:36No big deal.
17:37This is an internal affair.
17:39Internal.
17:40And you were driven out.
17:43So I would keep your mouth shut.
17:45The amelioration algorithm is for emergencies only.
17:48It won't address the core issue.
17:49So the concurrency bug will just lead to more data corruption and more system crashes.
17:54It's such a noob mistake.
17:56If you understood code, you'd know that.
17:59You'd know that.
18:00Oh my God, if you would understand code, you wouldn't.
18:02Dude, like seriously, do you hear yourself?
18:04What do you know? Take your bullshit theories somewhere else, please, man.
18:10Right. What do I know?
18:13I wrote the amelioration algorithm.
18:16What did you just say?
18:21I wrote the amelioration algorithm.
18:23I'm in HR, and the boss still didn't tell me about the mysterious tech genius he hired.
18:28Was it really Eric all along?
18:30Ugh, what have I done?
18:32Shut up.
18:33What?
18:34Mr. Dorsey, you can't believe a word they say.
18:37They are our competitors.
18:38Right.
18:40Believe whatever you want.
18:42What a dumpster fire.
18:45Let's go, honey.
18:46Yeah.
18:47Oh my God.
18:48Did you just call him honey?
18:51Yeah, so?
18:53Back when I recruited Eric, I made the terms very clear.
18:56I told him he could have whatever he wanted, including me.
19:01I'm not like some people, ignoring talents and abusing their trust.
19:05What?
19:09I have an image to maintain.
19:13Yes, of course.
19:14Yes, of course.
19:25So, what you're saying is...
19:28It's not that I don't respect Hendrix Tech.
19:30Dorsey is less of an investment risk.
19:32And they have greater potential.
19:35I can't justify choosing your product over theirs.
19:37Mr. Brown, we're a risk worth taking.
19:40Once you see our AI platform, I guarantee you'll want to reconsider.
19:46Bravo, bravo.
19:48That was quite an inspiring sales pitch, Ms. Hendrix.
19:53You must be Mr. Dorsey's son.
19:55It's a great pleasure.
19:57Ms. Hendrix and I were just having a little chat.
19:59Naturally, I'll still be investing in Dorsey Tech.
20:02Yeah, so, if you're here chasing investments, I would suggest you just give up and go home.
20:07With us here, you won't get a red cent from these guys.
20:10That's right.
20:11Over 90% of the guests here have already invested in our new AI tech program.
20:18Best get out while you still can.
20:21I'm afraid they're right.
20:22We've already spent our investment money in promoting Dorsey's new AI platform, so...
20:28And I can assure you that any investment you've made will not be wasted.
20:32And your money will be paid back in tenfold.
20:34At Dorsey Tech, we treat our partners like family.
20:36And that's why we love doing business with you.
20:39If I were you, I'd cut my losses and take my leave.
20:43Get out.
20:44Unless you also want to invest in Dorsey Tech.
20:52Hey, let the jerks have their fun.
20:54They won't be laughing for too much longer.
21:05Sounds like a plan.
21:14Miss Hendricks.
21:16Didn't you just tell us to get lost?
21:19I didn't want to fend Mr. Dorsey back there. It was all an act.
21:22Well, that sounds professional.
21:25Then what do you want?
21:26Miss Hendricks, investors know to hedge their bets.
21:29Miss Hendricks, investors know to hedge their bets.
21:33What Hendricks Tech is doing is impressive, and I want to offer my help.
21:39I know you need funds to promote your products, and I want to assist with that.
21:43But we need to sign a contract first.
21:46No way am I signing a contract with you.
21:49At least hear the terms.
21:51If your AI product tops Dorsey Tech's, you pay nothing.
21:55If they win, you pay everything back.
21:58What do you say?
22:00That's a lot of money we're talking about.
22:02It's definitely risky, but I trust Eric.
22:09Mr. Brown, we accept your offer.
22:18Today, Dorsey Tech's highly anticipated artificial intelligence platform, AI+,
22:23was released in the United States.
22:25On its first day, AI+, has already gained more than 10 million users,
22:29completely eclipsing the efforts of their chief competitor, Hendricks Tech,
22:33which also launched their new platform, AI King, on the same day.
22:40Everyone at Hendricks has guts, I'll give her that.
22:42But dropping her new product on the same day as us, that is career suicide.
22:48Let's get to the office, Griffin.
22:50Yes, sir.
22:51Yes, sir.
23:01Relax, Mr. Dorsey. Hendricks Tech is no threat.
23:05Yeah, I know.
23:07Remember when you said that if this project went well, you'd promote me to vice president?
23:11Yeah, I remember, but AI+, has just barely hit the market.
23:16We can't even call it a success yet.
23:18Right, true.
23:19Yeah.
23:24I have news.
23:25Talk to me.
23:29The bad news is that Hendricks Tech's AI platform is much more impressive than we thought.
23:33The good news is that their consumer numbers are nowhere close to ours.
23:38Okay, alright, I'll take it. I'll take it.
23:41Like I said, we're unbeatable.
23:44Come on, let's celebrate.
23:46No, no, not yet.
23:48How did Hendricks Tech even get that product out in that timeline?
23:51I mean, they got started much later than we did.
23:53I heard from a source at their company that their lead engineer is highly skilled.
23:59Lead engineer?
24:01Eric?
24:02I thought he was supposed to be a nobody.
24:06Right?
24:13Dad, what's up?
24:15William, I'm on my way to the office to congratulate you and Eric.
24:19Oh, uh, got it.
24:23The boss is coming.
24:24We can talk to him about my promotion.
24:26Shit.
24:27Guys, this isn't good.
24:29What? What is it now?
24:30Our AI platform and company server have both crashed.
24:33What the fuck? Right?
24:35Every time?
24:39Seriously?
24:40God damn, dude.
24:45What the fuck is going on?
24:47Mr. Martin, the AI platform just crashed out of nowhere and brought the whole server down along with it.
24:52Then don't just sit around like an idiot. Fix it!
24:55Sir, this is an issue with the system's core framework. We didn't build that.
24:59What do you mean you didn't build it?
25:00We're using the same framework that Eric built before he left.
25:02Eric, the guy I fired?
25:04Yeah, Eric with a K. E-R-I-K.
25:09You took credit for someone else's work.
25:11Lie to me!
25:12Mr. Dorsey, let me explain.
25:14No, there is no time for explanation.
25:16Why didn't you rebuild the core framework?
25:18Mr. Dorsey, we need to focus on getting the company server up and running.
25:21Our users' trust depends on it.
25:23Speak!
25:24What happened to the company server?
25:26Sir, he was the one-
25:27I didn't do shit!
25:28Shut your mouth. Go.
25:30The solution he used, the amelioration algorithm, after the last two crashes,
25:34it's not designed as a long-term solution to the serious concurrency bug in the code.
25:38Every time that bug is reproduced, it leads to more serious corruption.
25:42It's been a ticking time bomb ever since.
25:44This time, the A.I. platform went down, brought the whole server down along with it.
25:49It's completely unfixable.
25:53This was all your fault.
25:56William, all of our users are switching over to Hendrix Tech's A.I. platform.
25:59What should we do?
26:00How the fuck am I supposed to know?
26:08Mr. Dorsey, what on earth is going on?
26:10I'm not going to let you assholes drag me down like this.
26:12Look, sir, I can explain.
26:14I'm sorry, okay? It's got to be fixed.
26:16I have billions of dollars invested in you, dammit.
26:18I'm going to make sure the whole industry knows about this scandal.
26:21Dorsey Tech is finished.
26:30500,000?
26:31We just passed 500,000!
26:33You guys, 98, 99, 1 million!
26:371 million!
26:38Oh my god!
26:44Go!
26:47Go!
26:49Hey, hey, it's still going up! It's still going up!
26:51Fuck, fuck, fuck!
26:54This is all your fault.
26:55This is all your fault!
26:57Mr. Dorsey, fuck!
27:00I wanted to help you. I was trying to help the company.
27:03I've had enough of your bullshit.
27:05You fired half the bloody tech departments.
27:07What was I supposed to do?
27:09And you gave us impossible deadlines.
27:11No, no, no, don't make this about me.
27:13I get it now.
27:14You were using my promotion as bait.
27:16You were never going to make me VP.
27:18You want your job or not?
27:20Is that a threat?
27:21Fire me. Do it.
27:23You think I won't?
27:25If Eric leaves, so do I.
27:28Me too.
27:30See, when you fired everyone, I replaced them with my people.
27:36Go ahead, fire me.
27:37You'll clear out your whole tech department.
27:39You will sink Dorsey Tech.
27:43You were never the prize tech genius at Dorsey Tech.
27:45You were the slacker my father warned me about.
27:49William!
27:54William!
27:56I'm ashamed to call you my son.
28:00What the hell have you done to my company?
28:03Dad, I'm sorry.
28:06I'm not here for apologies.
28:12What the hell is this idiot doing here?
28:14I thought you fired him.
28:16Where's Eric?
28:18Dad, I fired Eric.
28:21You fired him?
28:24You fired him?
28:27Was that a mistake?
28:31Dad, are you okay?
28:33Hey, are you okay?
28:36I busted my fucking balls to get Eric to Dorsey Tech.
28:42He was the backbone behind this company.
28:45And what did you do?
28:48You fired him.
28:50So, um, it was Eric with a K all along?
28:55Oh, I fucked up.
28:57God, I fucked up.
28:59Where is Eric now?
29:01I will get down on my knees and beg him to come back.
29:05Um, Eric is at Hendricks Tech.
29:12You are a sorry excuse for a son.
29:17You destroyed my company.
29:21Sir?
29:24Bad news.
29:26It appears that the server crash was just the beginning.
29:29What's going on?
29:30The crash also affected our automobile software.
29:33There have been at least 30 car accidents across the U.S.
29:37Oh, fuck.
29:39Six people have died.
29:46No, no, this isn't my fault.
29:49It was Eric's fault.
29:50Eric with a K.
29:51It was his code that was faulty.
29:53No, that's fucking bullshit.
29:55I fired him before that happened.
29:56But I stumbled upon his tablet and the code that he wrote.
30:00I'm only guilty of using his work.
30:02Everything else was his fault.
30:05I wrote the amelioration algorithm.
30:08God, I mistook the genius for the loser.
30:11I'm not going down like this.
30:13Dorsey Tech ain't finished yet.
30:16I'm not finished yet.
30:19Griffin.
30:21Take this man to the police.
30:23If Dorsey Tech goes under, he'll have to pay for this.
30:27Yes, sir.
30:47Mr. Brown, looks like your contract worked in our favor.
30:51So we will not be returning the $5 billion you invested.
30:55And again, thank you for your generosity.
30:57Wait, do I at least deserve some dividends?
31:00I'm sorry, Mr. Brown.
31:02But the terms you insisted on were very clear.
31:05We beat Dorsey Tech, so we owe you nothing.
31:08Which includes any dividends you might have otherwise received.
31:11What?
31:12No.
31:13No more buts.
31:15Goodbye, Mr. Brown.
31:23Tonight, I'll give you that reward I was telling you about.
31:28I'm sure it'll be very special.
31:32You have no idea.
31:35Eric!
31:39I know I messed up.
31:42I know I messed up before.
31:45It's all over for Dorsey Tech now.
31:48Is there anything you can do to help me?
31:52What the hell are you doing grabbing my boyfriend?
31:56Boyfriend?
31:57That's right.
31:59I'm his girlfriend now.
32:01We're living together and we're getting married soon, too.
32:05But you...
32:07You can't...
32:09It's not possible.
32:11He was mine first.
32:13You dumped him and you treated him like trash.
32:17It's a little late for you to come crawling back.
32:21Guys, can we...
32:25Eric, no.
32:27Eric.
32:35You're hot when you're bossy.
32:37Do you like?
32:38Yeah.
32:39Eric.
32:40What now?
32:44Eric.
32:46Quiz it now.
32:55Eric.
32:57You know how much I've known for you.
33:00Dorsey Tech is in dire straits.
33:04We need your help.
33:06Mr. Dorsey.
33:07All those things you gave me.
33:09I returned when your son accused me of hacking the company server
33:13and demanding compensation.
33:16Oh, has he not told you?
33:19That is not how it went down at all.
33:22It was that dirtbag, Eric with a C,
33:25who went behind my back and got me all mixed up.
33:28Oh, yeah?
33:29Well, your little mix-up made me lose everything I had,
33:32including my career.
33:35Did it feel good to make me the scapegoat for your mistake?
33:39Eric, I am really sorry.
33:42I don't want your fake apology,
33:44and I'm not coming back to you.
33:48So, would you please leave our office?
33:55Now, would you please leave our office?
33:59We wish Dorsey Tech the very best.
34:06You fucking doomed us, son!
34:10You doomed Dorsey Tech!
34:14Dad, dad, dad!
34:16Dad!
34:17Dad!
34:18Dad!
34:19Dad!
34:20Dad!
34:21Dad!
34:22Dad!
34:23Dad!
34:24Dad!
34:25Dad!
34:26Dad!
34:27Dad!
34:28Dad!
34:29Dad!
34:30Dad!
34:31Dad!
34:32Dad!
34:34Dad!
34:38So, you're really not gonna help them?
34:42They're the ones who fired me.
34:44Now they have to live with the outcome.
34:47Well, to the sweet taste of victory.
34:50To the sweet taste of victory.
