00:00Hey boss, we locked in the SkyEdge tech acquisition for $1.3 billion, just need your signature
00:09to close it.
00:10Boss?
00:11Boss?
00:12What?
00:13Don't tell me you're looking at pictures of your crush Jessica again.
00:19What crush?
00:20You're looking at the future Mrs. Clooney.
00:22We've been hunting for her for eight years with no luck.
00:25What if she's married already?
00:26Well yeah, she's incredible.
00:28Of course others would see that too.
00:31Not happening.
00:32Where are you going?
00:38To the racetrack.
00:39Boss!
00:40To the racetrack.
00:41You win!
00:42Yes!
00:43Boss!
01:03The trading system is down!
01:06What?
01:08The trading system is down!
01:12Did you?
01:18The system is still placing counter-trend orders.
01:20The more the market rises, the faster we're selling.
01:23All my stop losses are firing like crazy.
01:26We're down a hundred million already.
01:29The computer thinks this is normal.
01:30I can't do anything no matter what I try.
01:32If we do this for another hour, we're going to be filing for Chapter 11.
01:35Don't panic.
01:36The boss is here.
01:38Stop staring and get out of the chair.
01:39Go!
01:40Come on.
01:41Yesterday's rate cut didn't make it into our budget, so we're going to have to do something
02:10about it.
02:11The rate cut didn't make it into our baseline indicators, so the model thinks up is down
02:16and down is up.
02:17So naturally, it's doing exactly the opposite of what it should.
02:26Boss, even you can't solve it?
02:31Sorry.
02:32Food coma's hitting hard.
02:34Mind grabbing me a Coke?
02:39Who does she think she's fooling?
02:40What does a woman possibly know about all this?
02:43If she fixes it, I'll quit immediately.
02:44You're going to eat those words faster than Jessica's eating those chips.
02:51Here you go, boss.
03:06Relax, people.
03:07We've just got to reset one more parameter and we're golden.
03:09Go home.
03:10Get some sleep.
03:11And with that, we're gone.
03:12Thank you, boss.
03:13You truly are the MVP.
03:14All right.
03:15Let's go, folks.
03:16Come on.
03:17Let her work.
03:18Let's go!
03:38You...
03:48Nailed it.
04:08The model's fixed?
04:09The company account.
04:10Boss is insane.
04:11Fixed the glitch, saved our butts, and made a killing in one night.
04:15Time to update that resume, Tom.
04:17Or was all that big talk just hot air?
04:19Mark, who is our boss, really?
04:22This is usual, Tom.
04:23Jessica wrote our quant trading model from scratch.
04:26Her algorithm is the reason why TB security is a titan.
04:30What on earth are we doing during work hours?
04:33And you are?
04:35Meet the chairman's son, your new CEO.
04:38Of course, his talents have the board's complete endorsement.
04:43And last time I checked, these are prime trading hours, aren't they?
04:47Well, it's actually funny you mention that.
04:49You are fired.
04:50What?
04:53Here at TB, we do not tolerate mediocrity.
04:58Here at TB, we do not tolerate mediocrity.
05:01Only the best work here.
05:03You made it here on pure talent.
05:05You want to talk about mediocrity?
05:07Let's discuss that trust fund that bought your position.
05:12Did you just hit her?
05:13What the hell is wrong with you?
05:15I'm not going to waste my time talking to garbage.
05:20Here is your hush money.
05:24Take it and get out.
05:26You know what?
05:28Here's a little extra.
05:30Use it to buy yourself some makeup.
05:32Buy yourself some makeup and cover up that bruise.
05:34No one wants to see that.
05:36Drop it.
05:37Just go handle this when she's back.
05:39The board paid insane money for her brain.
05:42Jackson will have the guts to touch her.
05:44Listen up, everybody.
05:46The market is a savage wilderness.
05:48It is a dog-eat-dog world.
05:50It is eat or be eaten.
05:52You need to be apex predators,
05:55not little, fluffy, performance-faking rabbits.
05:59Those will be eaten.
06:01But the real alphas,
06:03the real rainmakers among you
06:05will be rewarded accordingly.
06:12Top of the leaderboard is...
06:16Caitlyn.
06:17Where's my superstar?
06:19That would be me.
06:21Caitlyn.
06:24Is this Kayla Twist?
06:26Are you a Kayla Twist fan?
06:27You know, she has a concert tonight.
06:28Would you want to go?
06:29God, yes.
06:30This is perfect.
06:31It's perfect.
06:32Go now, before you're late.
06:33And as soon as the concert's over,
06:35clean out your desk,
06:36because you're fired.
06:37What?
06:38Why?
06:39The Nikkei opens during concert hours.
06:41You know, I figured a trader
06:42wouldn't put Kayla Twist above making trades.
06:45Those numbers must be fake.
06:47And who's your boss?
06:48I need to meet the clown that runs this circus.
06:50It's Jessica.
06:52She's here.
07:01You are fired.
07:06Move your damn foot
07:07and explain what rock you crawled out from under.
07:09Who I am doesn't matter.
07:10All that matters is that you are fired.
07:12Are you certain about firing me?
07:14You think you're some unicorn employee
07:16that this place will crash and burn
07:17without your precious brain?
07:18You wouldn't say that, exactly.
07:19Jessica hasn't slept
07:20because she was busy saving us nine figures
07:22because of a bug.
07:23Yeah, and we thought
07:24you were going to be the one to save us.
07:26I'm not going to be the one to save you.
07:28Nine figures because of a bug.
07:29Yeah, and we even made a profit.
07:31You expect me to believe that?
07:33Her name wasn't even on those reports.
07:35So take your headphones and beat it.
07:39That trash ruined my shoes.
07:42And to you defenders,
07:43finance takes timing and judgment.
07:46And sticking up for her
07:47shows that you have neither.
07:49So pack your crap
07:50and follow her out the door.
07:51Leave them alone.
07:52They have nothing to do with this.
07:54I'll go.
07:56What?
07:57Is office drama more important
07:58than making money now?
08:07Susan!
08:14Boss, she's high up in trading.
08:17Firing her out of nowhere
08:18might be problematic.
08:21Susan, Susan, Susan.
08:24Look around.
08:25Finance is a men's game.
08:27Okay, as far as I'm concerned,
08:28she was just sitting there
08:29woman in a chair
08:30and cashing paychecks.
08:31All right?
08:32I did us a favor.
08:33We should have squashed
08:34that bug a while ago.
08:39Dad, how's it going?
08:41I forgot to mention to you
08:43there's this one woman exec
08:46you absolutely cannot mess with.
08:49Woman executive?
08:51Don't tell me it's...
08:55How many women executives
08:56do we have, Susan?
08:59Just two women in executive roles.
09:02These are the files.
09:04She's a talent the board
09:06paid top dollar for.
09:07A quant model.
09:08She built it from scratch.
09:10And keeping her is non-negotiable.
09:13Our marketing dominance
09:14depends on it.
09:15Jessie, Harvard PhD,
09:17star trader.
09:20Dad, are you talking about Jessie?
09:22Jessie.
09:23I didn't fire Jessie, did I?
09:25Actually, Jessica.
09:27She's our golden goose.
09:28Now you need to...
09:29Dad, you just focus
09:30on getting better.
09:31I'll make sure she stays, all right?
09:35Susan, tell Jessie
09:36to come to my office.
09:37Right away.
09:46Pete, honey.
09:47Remember our pillow talk?
09:49Trading director.
09:51One-upping Jessica.
09:54It's time you pay up, lover boy.
09:56Babe, it already took
09:58a lot of effort to get you in
09:59with those fake credentials.
10:01I know, but couldn't you be a doll
10:04and work your magic for me?
10:08We've got a new CEO.
10:10Let's lay low for a while.
10:14Keep your nose clean, will ya?
10:19Of course.
10:21All right.
10:28Pathetic.
10:29Time to upgrade my meal ticket.
10:34Come in.
10:36Jessie.
10:38Emergency.
10:39New boss just asked Jessica.
10:40What?
10:41Wait, he fired Jessica?
10:42God, is he suicidal or just stupid?
10:44He wants you to go see him now.
10:46Am I up next on the chopping block?
10:51Okay.
11:02You needed something, Jackson?
11:03Jessie, you all right?
11:05Damn, looking good.
11:06Thanks.
11:07Word is, our quant trading model
11:09is crushing market averages.
11:12I don't say this often,
11:13but I am impressed.
11:14Wait, that's Jessica's work.
11:16How does he not know this?
11:19Absolutely.
11:20Jackson,
11:21I actually pull multiple all-nighters
11:24designing that solo.
11:26You see,
11:27I have pure talent,
11:30unlike some people who
11:32climb the corporate ladder
11:33using connections.
11:38You're referring to Jessica, right?
11:40I already fired that corporate parasite.
11:43I need your model
11:45because our fund is launching
11:46and I need it to deliver
11:47and maximize company profits.
11:48Don't worry, Jackson.
11:49With Jessica out of the way,
11:50I'll get that updated model
11:51to you in no time.
11:52That's what I like to hear.
11:53All right, get going.
11:54Clock's ticking.
11:55I'm on it.
11:58That Jessie's everything
11:59Frank promised, sir.
12:00Smart and easy on the eyes.
12:03Hardly remarkable.
12:04Let's hire Miss J.
12:05I won't need her anymore.
12:07Miss J?
12:08Miss J is a trading prodigy
12:09I met online.
12:10She's the unrivaled queen
12:11of the securities trading market.
12:13So that's why
12:14Jessie doesn't measure up.
12:15You've already got
12:16someone else in mind.
12:17Always two steps ahead, Susan.
12:21Susan, do you see an issue here?
12:22Coffee, always, right here.
12:24Unbelievable.
12:28Miss J, you're the only woman
12:30who deserves to be my equal.
12:31Join TV and I'll hand you
12:33the entire company.
12:48Boss, we have an emergency.
12:49Your wife's in serious trouble.
12:51Are you crazy?
12:52I haven't even confessed
12:53to Jessica yet.
12:54Don't go around
12:55calling her that.
12:56You told me to call her that.
12:58Eight years of this secret crush,
12:59still no action.
13:00Look, nothing bad can happen
13:01to her when I'm...
13:02Wait, hold on.
13:03You found Jessica?
13:04We got her.
13:05She's running trading
13:06at TV Securities.
13:07What?
13:08I don't get it.
13:09What do you mean,
13:10you don't get it?
13:11I don't get it.
13:12I don't get it.
13:13I don't get it.
13:14I don't get it.
13:15I don't get it.
13:16She's running trading
13:17at TV Securities.
13:18Well, she was
13:19until the new CEO
13:20stepped in and fired her.
13:21Fired her?
13:22She's brilliant.
13:23How could she get fired?
13:24Something's off here.
13:25Let's go get her.
13:26This is the perfect opportunity
13:27for you to step in,
13:28be the hero,
13:29confess your feelings.
13:30You idiot.
13:34You idiot.
13:35This is the perfect opportunity
13:36to bring her on my team.
13:39Seeing each other every day,
13:41I'll finally get my shot with her.
13:43Boss, snap out of it.
13:44She's in security trading.
13:45Clooney Financial
13:46doesn't even have
13:47a brokerage division.
13:49So we'll buy one.
14:03This office is all mine now.
14:13Broke much?
14:15Disgusting.
14:24Jessica Jackson's
14:25dream girl, Mrs. J?
14:29Jackson fired Jessica.
14:31And no one knows
14:32who she really is.
14:34I can take advantage of this.
14:42Jesse!
14:43What do you think you're doing?
14:46Hey, boss.
14:47We locked in the SkyEdge
14:48tech acquisition for $1.3 billion.
14:50Just need your signature
14:51to close it.
14:54Boss.
14:55Boss!
14:56What?
14:57Don't tell me you're looking
14:58at pictures of your crush,
14:59Jessica, again.
15:00What crush?
15:02You're looking at
15:03the future Mrs. Clooney.
15:04We've been hunting for her
15:05for eight years with no luck.
15:06What if she's married already?
15:08Well, yeah.
15:09She's incredible.
15:10She's a genius.
15:11She's a genius.
15:12She's a genius.
15:13She's a genius.
15:14She's incredible.
15:15Of course others
15:16would see that, too.
15:18Not happening.
15:23Where are you going?
15:25To the racetrack.
15:26Boss!
15:29To the racetrack.
15:42You win!
15:43Yes!
15:49Boss!
15:50The trading system is down.
15:55What?
15:56The trading system is down.
15:59We need you.
16:06The system is still
16:07placing counter-trend orders.
16:08The more the market rises,
16:09the faster we're selling.
16:11All my soft boxes
16:12are going crazy.
16:13We're down
16:14100 million already.
16:16The computer thinks
16:17this is normal.
16:18I can't do anything
16:19no matter what I try.
16:20If we do this for another hour,
16:21we're going to be filing

16:23Don't panic.
16:24The boss is here.
16:33Stop staring

16:35Go!
16:43Yesterday's rate cut

16:47up is down
16:48and down is up.
16:49So naturally,

16:52of what it should.
16:53Boss?
16:54Even you can't solve it?
16:56Sorry.
16:57Food coma is hitting hard.
16:59Mind grabbing me a Coke?
17:00I have a terrible headache.
17:02Why not?
17:04Yeah,
17:05I'll be fine.
17:08I need a drink.
17:09I'll be fine.
17:12What do you want?
17:13I need a drink.
17:14I need...
17:15two drinks.
17:16How many of those do you want?
17:17Two.
17:19Two.
17:20I'm just hitting hard.
17:22Mind grabbing me a Coke?
17:26Who does she think she's fooling?
17:28What does a woman possibly know about all this?
17:30If she fixes it, I'll quit immediately.
17:32You're gonna eat those words faster than Jessica's eating those chips.
17:38Here you go, boss.
17:50Relax, people. I just gotta reset one more parameter and we're golden.
17:52Go home, get some sleep.
17:54And with that, we're gone.
17:56Thank you, boss. You truly are the MVP.
17:58Alright, let's go, folks.
18:00Come on, let her work. Let's go!
18:20You...

20:22No one wants to see that.
20:24Drop it.
20:26Does school handle this when she's back?
20:28The board paid insane money for her brain.
20:30Jackson wouldn't have the guts to touch her.
20:32Listen up, everybody.
20:34The market is a savage wilderness.
20:36It is a dog-eat-dog world.

22:26Can't trash ruin my shoes.
22:28And to you defenders,
22:30finance takes
22:32timing and judgment.
22:34Sticking up for her shows that you have
22:36neither. So pack your crap and
22:38follow her out the door. Leave them alone.
22:40They have nothing to do with this.
22:42I'll go.
22:44What?
22:46Is office drama more important than making money now?
22:54Susan!
22:56Boss,
22:58she's high up in trading.
23:00Firing her out of nowhere might be
23:02problematic.
23:04Susan, Susan,
23:06Susan. Look around.
23:08Finance is a men's game.
23:10Okay, as far as I'm concerned, she was just
23:12sitting there warming a chair and cashing
23:14paychecks. Alright, I did us a favor.
23:16We should have squashed that bug a while ago.
23:18Okay, as far as I'm concerned, she was just
23:20sitting there warming a chair and cashing
23:22paychecks. Alright, I did us a favor.
23:24...
23:26Dad, how's it going?
23:28I forgot
23:30to mention to you, there's this one
23:32woman exec
23:34you absolutely cannot mess with.
23:36Woman executive?
23:38Don't tell me it's...
23:42How many women executives do we have, Susan?
23:46Just two women
23:48in executive roles.
23:50These are the files.
23:52She's a talent the board paid top
23:54dollar for. A quant model.
23:56She built it from scratch.
23:58And keeping her is non-negotiable.
24:00Our marketing dominance depends
24:02on it. Jesse,
24:04Harvard PhD, Star Trader.
24:08Dad, are you talking about Jesse?
24:10Jesse? I didn't fire Jesse, did I?
24:12Actually, Jessica.
24:14She's our golden goose.
24:16Dad, you just focus on getting better.
24:18I'll make sure she stays, alright?
24:22Susan, tell Jesse to come to my office.
24:24Right away.
24:34Pete, honey. Remember our pillow talk?
24:36Trading director.
24:38One-upping Jessica.
24:42It's time you pay up, lover boy.
24:44Babe, it already
24:46took a lot of effort to get you in with those
24:48fake credentials.
24:50But couldn't you be a doll
24:52and work your magic
24:54for me?
24:56We've got a new CEO.
24:58Let's lay low for a while.
25:02Keep your nose clean, will ya?
25:06Of course.
25:14Pathetic.
25:16Time to upgrade my meal ticket.
25:20Come in.
25:22Jesse.
25:24Emergency. New boss
25:26just asked Jessica. What?
25:28Wait, he fired Jessica?
25:30God, is he suicidal or just stupid?
25:32He wants you to go see him now.
25:34Am I up next on the chopping block?
25:38Okay.
25:40God.
25:48You needed something, Jackson?
25:50Jesse, right?
25:52Damn, looking good.
25:54Thanks.
25:56Word is, our quant trading model is crushing
25:58market averages.
26:00I don't say this often, but I am impressed.
26:02Wait, that's Jessica's work.
26:04How does he not know this?
26:06Absolutely!
26:08I actually pull
26:10multiple all-nighters
26:12designing that solo.
26:14You see, I have
26:16pure talent,
26:18unlike some people who
26:20climb the corporate ladder using
26:22connections.
26:26You're referring to Jessica, right?
26:28I already fired that corporate parasite.
26:30I need your model
26:32because our fund is launching
26:34and I need it to deliver and maximize company profits.
26:36Don't worry, Jackson. With Jessica
26:38out of the way, I'll get that updated model to you in no time.
26:40That's what I like to hear.
26:42Alright, get going, clock's ticking.
26:44I'm on it.
26:46That Jesse's everything Frank promised, sir.
26:48Smart and easy on the eyes.
26:50Hardly remarkable.
26:52Let's hire Miss J. I won't need her anymore.
26:54Miss J?
26:56Miss J is a trading prodigy I met online.
26:58She's the unrivaled queen of the securities
27:00trading market.
27:02So that's why Jesse doesn't measure up.
27:04He's got someone else in mind.
27:06Always two steps ahead, Susan.
27:08Susan, do you see an issue here?
27:10Coffee. Always. Right here.
27:12Unbelievable.
27:16Miss J,
27:18you're the only woman who deserves to be my equal.
27:20Join TV and I'll hand you the entire company.
27:34Boss, we have an emergency.
27:36Your wife's in serious trouble.
27:38Are you crazy?
27:40I haven't even confessed to Jessica yet.
27:42Ah, don't go around calling her that.
27:44You told me to call her that.
27:46Eight years of this secret crush, still no action.
27:48Look, nothing bad can happen to her when I'm...
27:50Wait, hold on. You found Jessica?
27:52We got her.
27:54She's running trading at TV Securities.
27:56She's the only woman who deserves to be my equal.
27:58She's the only woman who deserves to be my equal.
28:00She's the only woman who deserves to be my equal.
28:02She's running trading at TV Securities.
28:04Well, she was until the new CEO stepped in and fired her.
28:06Fired her? She's brilliant!
28:08How could she get fired?
28:10Something's off here.
28:12Let's go get her.
28:14This is the perfect opportunity for you to step in,
28:16be the hero, confess your feelings.
28:18You idiot.
28:20You idiot.
28:22This is the perfect opportunity
28:24to bring her on my team.
28:26Seeing each other every day,
28:28I'll finally get my shot with her.
28:30Boss, snap out of it.
28:32She's in Security Trading.
28:34Clooney Financial doesn't even have a brokerage division.
28:36So we'll buy one.
28:50This office is all mine now.
29:00Ugh. Broke much?
29:02Disgusting.
29:12Jessica's Jackson's dream girl, Mrs. J?
29:16Jackson fired Jessica.
29:18And no one knows who she really is.
29:22I can take advantage of this.
29:24Jessie.
29:26What do you think you're doing?
29:36Hey boss, we locked in the SkyEdge tech acquisition
29:38for $1.3 billion.
29:40Just need your signature to close it.
29:42Boss.
29:44Boss!
29:46What?
29:48Don't tell me you're looking at pictures of your crush Jessica again.
29:50What crush?
29:52You're looking at the future Mrs. Clooney.
29:54We've been hunting for her for eight years with no luck.
29:56What if she's married already?
29:58Well yeah.
30:00She's incredible.
30:02Of course others would see that too.
30:04Not happening.
30:08Where are you going?
30:10To the racetrack.
30:12Boss.
30:14To the racetrack.
30:22You win.
30:24Yes.
30:30Boss.
30:32The trading system is down.
30:36What?
30:38The trading system is down.
30:40We need you.
30:52The system is still placing counter-trend orders.
30:54The more the market rises, the faster we're selling.
30:58All my stop losses are firing like crazy.
31:00We're down 100 million already.
31:02The computer thinks this is normal.
31:04I can't do anything no matter what I try.
31:06If we do this for another hour, we're going to be filing for Chapter 11.
31:10Don't panic. The boss is here.
31:12Stop staring and get out of the chair.
31:14Go.
31:42Yesterday's rate cut didn't make it into our baseline indicators.
31:46So the model thinks up is down and down is up.
31:50So naturally it's doing exactly the opposite of what it should.
32:02Boss, even you can't solve it?
32:04Sorry.
32:06Food coma's hitting hard.
32:08Mind grabbing me a Coke?
32:12Who does she think she's fooling?
32:14What does a woman possibly know about all this?
32:16If she fixes it, I'll quit immediately.
32:18You're going to eat those words faster than Jessica's eating those chips.
32:24Here you go, boss.
32:26Relax.
32:40Relax, people.
32:42I just have to reset one more parameter and we're golden.
32:44Go home. Get some sleep.
32:48And with that, we're gone.
32:50Thank you, boss.
32:52You truly are the MVP.
32:54Let's go, folks.
32:56Come on, let her work.
32:58Let's go.
33:00Let's go.
33:22Nailed it.
33:30The model's fixed?
33:32The company account.
33:34Boss is insane.
33:36Fixed the glitch, saved our butts,
33:38and made a killing in one night.
33:40Time to update that resume, Tom.
33:42Or was all that big talk just hot air?
33:44Mark, who is our boss, really?
33:46The list is as usual, Tom.
33:48Jessica wrote our quant trading model.
33:50She's our boss.
33:52She's our boss.
33:54She's our boss.
33:56She's our boss.
33:58Tom, Jessica wrote our quant trading model
34:00from scratch.
34:02Her algorithm is the reason why TB Security
34:04is a titan.
34:06What on earth are we doing during work hours?
34:08And you are?
34:10Meet the chairman's son.
34:12Your new CEO.
34:14Of course, his talents
34:16have the board's complete endorsement.
34:18And last time I checked,
34:20these are prime trading hours, aren't they?
34:22Well, it's actually funny you mention that.
34:24You are fired.
34:26Here at TB,
34:28we do not tolerate mediocrity.
34:32Here at TB,
34:34we do not tolerate mediocrity.
34:36Only the best work here.
34:38You made it here on pure talent.
34:40You want to talk about mediocrity?
34:42Let's discuss that trust fund
34:44that bought your position.
34:46Did you just hit her?
34:48What the hell's wrong with you?
34:50I'm not going to waste my time talking to garbage.
34:52Here
34:54is your hush money.
34:56Take it and get out.
34:58You know what?
35:00Here's a little extra.
35:02Use it to buy yourself some makeup
35:04and cover up that bruise.
35:06No one wants to see that.
35:08Drop it. Does school handle this when she's back?
35:10The board paid insane money
35:12for her brain.
35:14Jackson wouldn't have the guts to touch her.
35:16Listen up, everybody.
35:18The market is a savage.
35:20The market is a savage wilderness.
35:22It is a dog-eat-dog world.
35:24It is eat or be eaten.
35:26You need to be apex predators,
35:28not little
35:30fluffy performance-faking
35:32rabbits.
35:34Those will be eaten,
35:36but the real alphas,
35:38the real rainmakers among you
35:40will be rewarded accordingly.
35:46Top
35:48of the leaderboard is
35:50Caitlyn.
35:52Where's my superstar?
35:54That would be me.
35:56Caitlyn.
35:58Is this Kayla Twist?
36:00Are you a Kayla Twist fan?
36:02She has a concert tonight. Would you want to go?
36:04God, yes.
36:06This is perfect. Go now before you're late.
36:08And as soon as the concert's over,
36:10clean out your desk because you're fired.
36:12What? Why?
36:14The Nikkei opens during concert hours.
36:16I figured a trader wouldn't put Kayla Twist
36:18above making trades.
36:20Those numbers must be fake.
36:22And who's your boss? I need to meet the clown that runs this circus.
36:24It's Jessica.
36:26She's here.
36:42You are fired.
36:46Move your damn foot and explain
36:48what rock you crawled out from under.
36:50Who I am doesn't matter. All that matters is that
36:52you are fired. Are you certain about
36:54firing me? You think you're some unicorn
36:56employee that this place will crash and burn without your precious
36:58brain? You wouldn't say that, exactly.
37:00Jessica hasn't slept because she was busy
37:02saving us nine figures because of a bug.
37:04Yeah, and we even made a profit.
37:06You expect me to believe that? Her name wasn't
37:08even on those reports. So take your
37:10headphones and beat it.
37:13Can't trash ruin my shoes.
37:15And to you defenders,
37:17finance takes timing
37:19and judgment. And sticking up for
37:21her shows that you have neither.
37:23So pack your crap and follow her out
37:25the door. Leave them alone. They have nothing
37:27to do with this. I'll go.
37:31What? Is office drama
37:33more important than making money now?
37:42Susan!
37:49Boss,
37:51she's high up in trading.
37:53Firing her out of nowhere might be
37:55problematic.
37:57Susan, Susan, Susan.
37:59Look around. Finance is a
38:01men's game. Okay, as far as I'm
38:03concerned, she was just sitting there warm in a chair
38:05and cashing paychecks. Alright, I did us
38:07a favor. We should have squashed that bug a while ago.
38:13Dad, how's it
38:15going? I forgot
38:17to mention to you, there's this one
38:19woman exec
38:21you absolutely cannot mess
38:23with. Woman executive?
38:25Don't tell me it's...
38:29How many women executives do we have,
38:31Susan?
38:33Just two
38:35women in executive roles.
38:37These are the files.
38:39She's a talent the board paid top
38:41dollar for. A quant model.
38:43She built it from scratch.

39:53Of course.
40:01Pathetic.
40:03Time to upgrade my meal ticket.
40:07Come in.
40:09Jesse.
40:11Emergency.
40:13New boss just asked Jessica.
40:15What? Wait, he fired Jessica?
40:17God, is he suicidal or just stupid?
40:19He wants you to go see him now.
40:21Am I up next on the chopping block?
40:25Okay.
40:27God.
40:36You needed something, Jackson?
40:38Jesse, you alright? Damn, looking good.
40:40Thanks.
40:42Word is, our quant trading model is

43:29This office is all mine now.
43:37Ugh.
43:39Broke much?
43:41Disgusting.
43:49Jessica.
43:51Jessica.
43:53Jessica.
43:55Jessica.
43:57Jessica.
43:59Jessica's Jackson's drinker, Mrs. J?
44:03Jackson fired Jessica.
44:05And no one knows who she really is.
44:09I can take advantage of this.
44:17Jesse, what do you think you're doing?

44:35Boss.
44:37What?
44:39Don't tell me you're looking at pictures of your crush Jessica again.
44:41What crush?
44:43You're looking at the future Mrs. Clooney.

45:03To the racetrack.
45:15You win.
45:17Yes.
45:23Boss.
45:25The system is down.
45:29What?
45:31The trading system is down.
45:33We need you.
45:39The system is still placing counter-trend orders.
45:41The more the market rises,

46:45I'm sorry.
46:47I'm sorry.
46:49I'm sorry.

47:23I just got to reset one more parameter
47:25and we're golden.
47:27Go home. Get some sleep.
47:29And with that,
47:31we're gone.
47:33Thank you, boss.
47:35You truly are the MVP.
47:37All right. Let's go, folks.
47:39Come on. Let her work. Let's go.
47:51You...
48:01You...
48:09Nailed it.
48:21The model's fixed?
48:23The company account.
48:25Boss is insane!
48:27Fixed the glitch, saved our butts,
48:29and made a killing in one night.
48:31Time to update that resume, Tom.
48:33Or was all that big talk just hot air?
48:35Mark, who is our boss?
48:37Really?
48:39This is usual, Tom.
48:41Jessica wrote our quant trading model from scratch.
48:43Her algorithm is the reason why
48:45TB's security threats are getting worse and worse.
48:47It's not just her.
48:49Her algorithm is the reason why TB's security
48:51is a titan.
48:53What on earth are we doing during work hours?
48:55And you are?
48:57Meet the chairman's son.
48:59Your new CEO.
49:01Of course,
49:03his talents have the board's complete endorsement.
49:05And last time I checked,
49:07these are prime trading hours, aren't they?
49:09Well, it's actually funny you mention that.
49:11You are fired.
49:13What?
49:15Here at TB, we do not tolerate mediocrity.
49:19Here at TB,
49:21we do not tolerate mediocrity.
49:23Only the best work here.
49:25You made it here on pure talent.
49:27You want to talk about mediocrity?
49:29Let's discuss that trust fund
49:31that bought your position.
49:33Did you just hit her?
49:35What the hell's wrong with you?
49:37I'm not going to waste my time talking the garbage.
49:43Here
49:45is your hush money.
49:47Take it and get out.
49:49You know what?
49:51Here's a little extra.
49:53Use it to buy yourself some makeup and cover up that bruise.
49:55No one wants to see that.
49:57Drop it.
49:59Just go handle this when she's back.
50:01The board paid insane money for her brain.
50:03Jackson won't have the guts to touch her.
50:05Listen up, everybody.
50:07The market is a savage wilderness.
50:09It is a dog-eat-dog world.
50:11It is eat or be eaten.
50:13You need to be apex predators,
50:15not little, fluffy,
50:17performance-faking rabbits.
50:19Those will be eaten.
50:21But the real Alphas,
50:23the real Rainmakers
50:25among you will be
50:27rewarded accordingly.
50:33Top of the leaderboard
50:35is Caitlyn.
50:37Where's my superstar?
50:39That would be me.
50:41Caitlyn.
50:43Caitlyn.
50:45Is this Kayla Twist?
50:47Are you a Kayla Twist fan?
50:49She has a concert tonight. Would you want to go?
50:51God, yes.
50:53This is perfect. Go now before you're late.
50:55And as soon as the concert's over,
50:57clean out your desk because you're fired.
50:59What? Why?
51:01The Nikkei opens during concert hours.
51:03I figured a trader wouldn't put Kayla Twist
51:05above making trades.
51:07Those numbers must be fake.
51:09Who's your boss? I need to meet the clown that runs this circus.
51:11It's Jessica.
51:13She's here.
51:29You are fired.
51:33Move your damn foot and explain
51:35what rock you crawled out from under.
51:37Who I am doesn't matter. All that matters is that
51:39you are fired.
51:41Are you certain about firing me?
51:43You think you're some unicorn employee that this place will crash and burn
51:45without your precious brain?
51:47You wouldn't say that, exactly.
51:49Jessica hasn't slept because she was busy saving us nine figures because of a bug.
51:51Yeah, and we even made a profit.
51:53You expect me to believe that?
51:55Her name wasn't even on those reports.
51:57So take your headphones and beat it.
52:01Can't trash ruin my shoes.
52:03And to you defenders,
52:05finance takes timing
52:07and judgment.
52:09And sticking up for her shows that you have neither.
52:11So pack your crap and follow her out the door.
52:13Leave them alone.
52:15They have nothing to do with this.
52:17I'll go.
52:19What?
52:21Is office drama more important than making money now?
52:29Susan!
52:37Boss, she's high up in trading.
52:39Firing her out of nowhere
52:41might be problematic.
52:43Susan, Susan,
52:45Susan.
52:47Look around. Finance is a men's game.
52:49Okay, as far as I'm concerned,
52:51she was just sitting there, woman in a chair,
52:53and cashing paychecks.
52:55I did us a favor. We should have squashed that bug a while ago.
53:01Dad, how's it going?
53:03I forgot to mention to you
53:05there's this one woman exec
53:07you absolutely cannot mess with.
53:11Woman executive?
53:13Don't tell me it's...
53:17How many women executives do we have, Susan?
53:21Just two women in executive roles.
53:23These are the files.
53:27She's a talent the board paid top dollar for.
53:29A quant model.
53:31She built it from scratch.
53:33Keeping her is non-negotiable.
53:35Our marketing dominance depends on it.
53:37Jesse. Harvard PhD.
53:39Star trader.
53:41Dad, are you talking about Jesse?
53:43Jesse.
53:45I didn't fire Jesse, did I?
53:47Actually, Jessica.
53:49She's our golden goose.
53:51Dad, you just focus on getting better.
53:53I'll make sure she stays, alright?
53:57Susan, tell Jesse to come to my office.
53:59Right away.
54:03Pete, honey.
54:05Remember our pillow talk?
54:07Trading director.
54:09One-upping Jessica.
54:13It's time you pay up, lover boy.
54:15Babe, it already took a lot of effort
54:17to get you in with those fake credentials.
54:19I know, but
54:21couldn't you be a doll
54:23and work your magic for me?
54:27We've got a new CEO.
54:29Let's not get ahead of ourselves.
54:31New CEO.
54:33Let's lay low for a while.
54:35Keep your nose clean,
54:37will ya?
54:41Of course.
54:49Pathetic.
54:51Time to upgrade my meal ticket.
54:55Come in.
54:57Jesse!
54:59Emergency. New boss just asked Jessica.
55:01What? Wait, he fired Jessica?
55:03God, is he suicidal or just stupid?
55:05He wants you to go see him now.
55:07Am I up next on the chopping block?
55:11Okay.
55:23You needed something, Jackson?
55:25Jesse, right? Damn, looking good.
55:27Thanks.
55:29Word is, our quant trading model
55:31is crushing market averages.
55:33I don't say this often, but I am impressed.
55:35Wait, that's Jessica's work.
55:37How does he not know this?
55:39Absolutely!
55:41Jackson,
55:43I actually pulled multiple
55:45all-nighters designing that solo.
55:47You see,
55:49I have pure talent,
55:51unlike some people
55:53who climb the corporate ladder
55:55using connections.
55:59You're referring to Jessica, right?
56:01I already fired that corporate parasite.
56:03I need your model
56:05because our fund is launching
56:07and I need it to deliver
56:09and maximize company profits.
56:11Don't worry, Jackson.
56:13With Jessica out of the way,
56:15I'll get that updated model to you in no time.
56:17That's what I like to hear.
56:19Alright, get going. Clock's ticking.
56:21I'm on it.
56:23Smart and easy on the eyes.
56:25Hardly remarkable.
56:27Let's hire Miss J. I won't need her anymore.
56:29Miss J?
56:31Miss J is a trading prodigy I met online.
56:33She's the unrivaled queen of the securities trading market.
56:35So that's why Jesse doesn't measure up.
56:37You've already got someone else in mind.
56:39Always two steps ahead, Susan.
56:43Susan, do you see an issue here?
56:45Coffee. Always. Right here.
56:47Unbelievable.
56:50Miss J,
56:52you're the only woman who deserves to be my equal.
56:54Join TV and I'll hand you the entire company.
57:19Boss, we have an emergency.
57:21Your wife's in serious trouble.
57:23Are you crazy? I haven't even confessed to Jessica yet.
57:25Don't go around calling her that.
57:27You told me to call her that.
57:29Eight years of this secret crush, still no action.
57:31Look, nothing bad can happen to her when I'm...
57:33Wait, hold on. You found Jessica?
57:35We got her.
57:37She's running trading at TV Securities.
57:39Well, she was until the new CEO stepped in and fired her.
57:41Fired her? She's brilliant. How could she get fired?
57:43Something's off here.
57:45Let's go get her.
57:47This is the perfect opportunity for you to step in,
57:49be the hero, confess your feelings.
57:51You idiot.
57:55You idiot.
57:57This is the perfect opportunity to bring her on my team.
58:01Seeing each other every day,
58:03I'll finally get my shot with her.
58:05Boss, snap out of it.
58:07She's in security trading.
58:09Clooney Financial doesn't even have a brokerage division.
58:11So we'll buy one.
58:17This office is all mine now.
58:29Ugh.
58:31Broke much?
58:33Disgusting.
58:41Jessica Jackson's dream job.
58:43Jessica's Jackson's dream girl?
58:45Mrs. J?
58:49Jackson fired Jessica.
58:51And no one knows who she really is.
58:53I can take advantage of this.
59:01Jesse!
59:03What do you think you're doing?
