00:00Hey boss, we locked in the SkyEdge tech acquisition for $1.3 billion.
00:08Just need your signature to close it.
00:12Boss.
00:13Boss!
00:14What?
00:15Don't tell me you're looking at pictures of your crush Jessica again.
00:18What crush?
00:19You'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.
00:30Not happening.
00:36Where are you going?
00:37To the racetrack.
00:39Boss!
00:41To the racetrack.
00:54You win!
00:55Yes!
00:58Boss!
00:59The trading system is down!
01:03What?
01:04The trading system is down!
01:06We need you!
01:07The system is still placing counter-trend orders.
01:08The more the market rises, the faster we're selling.
01:09All my stop-offs are firing like crazy!
01:14We're down a hundred million already.
01:16The computer thinks this is normal.
01:17I can't do anything no matter what I try.
01:18If we do this for another hour we're going to be filing for chapter 11.
01:23Don't panic!
01:24Don't panic!
01:25The boss is here!
01:26Stop staring and get out of the chair!
01:27Go!
01:28Go!
01:29Go!
01:30Go!
01:31Go!
01:32Go!
01:33Go!
01:34Go!
01:35Go!
01:36Go!
01:37Go!
01:38Go!
01:43Let's go!
01:44Oh my god!
01:45Go!
01:46Go!
01:48Go!
01:51What a real ?
01:53Yesterday's rate cut didn't make it into our baseline indicators.
02:13So the model thinks up is down and down is up.
02:17So naturally it's doing exactly the opposite of what it should.
02:28Boss?
02:29Even you can't solve it?
02:31Sorry.
02:32Food coma is hitting hard.
02:35Mind grabbing me a coke?
02:39Who does she think she's fooling?
02:41What does a woman possibly know about all this?
02:43If she fixes it, I'll quit immediately.
02:44You're gonna eat those words faster than Jessica's eating those chips.
02:51Ego bus.
02:56Relax people, I just gotta reset one more parameter and we're golden.
03:10Go home.
03:11Get some sleep.
03:12And with that, we're gone.
03:15Thank you boss.
03:16You truly are the MVP.
03:18Alright, let's go folks.
03:20Come on, let her work.
03:21Let's go.
03:22You are the MVP.
03:48Nailed it.
03:49The model's fixed?
04:09The company account.
04:10Hoss is insane!
04:12Fixed the glitch, saved our butts, and made a killing in one night.
04:16Time to update that resume, Tom?
04:18Where's all that big talk just hot air?
04:20Mark, who is our boss?
04:22Really?
04:23Though this is usual, Tom.
04:24Jessica wrote our quant trading model from scratch.
04:27Her algorithm is the reason why TB security is a ty-
04:30What on earth are we doing during work hours?
04:34And you are?
04:36Meet the chairman's son, your new CEO.
04:39Of course, his talents have the board's complete endorsement.
04:44And last time I checked, these are prime trading hours, aren't they?
04:47Well, it's actually funny you mention that, but-
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.
05:06You want to talk about mediocrity?
05:08Let's discuss that trust fund that bought your position-
05:11Did you just hit her?
05:14What the hell's wrong with you?
05:16I'm not going to waste my time talking to garbage.
05:21Here is your hush money.
05:25Take it and get out.
05:27You know what?
05:29Here's a little extra.
05:30Use it to buy yourself some makeup and cover up that bruise.
05:33No one wants to see that.
05:35Yeah.
05:36Drop it.
05:37Just go handle as much as back.
05:39The board paid insane money for her brain.
05:42Jackson won't have the guts to touch her.
05:44Listen up, everybody.
05:45The market is a savage wilderness.
05:48It is a dog-eat-dog world.
05:49It 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, the real rainmakers among you,
06:05will be rewarded accordingly.
06:08Top of the leaderboard is...
06:16Katelyn!
06:17Where's my superstar?
06:19That would be me.
06:21Katelyn.
06:24Is this...
06:25Katelyn Twist?
06:26Are you a Katelyn Twist fan?
06:27You know, she has a concert tonight.
06:28Would you want to go?
06:29God, yes.
06:30This is perfect.
06:31This is perfect!
06:32Go!
06:33Now!
06:34Before you're late!
06:35And as soon as the concert's over,
06:36clean out your desk,
06:37you'll have to fight.
06:38What?
06:39Why?
06:40The Nikkei opens during concert hours.
06:41You know, I figured a traitor wouldn't put Katelyn Twist
06:44above making traits.
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.
07:07You are fired.
07:08Move your damn foot and explain what rock you crawled out from under.
07:15Who I am doesn't matter.
07:16All that matters is that you are fired.
07:18Are you certain about firing me?
07:20You think you're some unicorn employee that this place will crash and burn without your precious brain?
07:24You wouldn't say that, exactly.
07:25Jessica hasn't slept because she was busy saving us nine 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.
07:34So take your headphones and beat it.
07:39Can't trash ruin my shoes.
07:41And to you defenders.
07:43Finance takes timing and judgment.
07:46And sticking up for her shows that you have neither.
07:49So pack your crap and follow her out the door.
07:51Leave them alone.
07:52They have nothing to do with this.
07:54I'll go.
07:57What?
07:58Is office drama more important than making money now?
08:04Thank you!
08:08Susan!
08:15Boss, she's high up in trading.
08:18Firing her out of nowhere might be problematic.
08:22Susan, Susan, Susan.
08:25Look around.
08:26Finance is a men's game.
08:27Okay, as far as I'm concerned, she was just sitting there, woman in a chair and cashing paychecks.
08:32Alright, I did us a favor.
08:33We should have squashed that bug a while ago.
08:40Dad, how's it going?
08:42I forgot to mention to you, there's this one woman exec you absolutely cannot mess with.
08:49Woman executive?
08:51Don't tell me it's...
08:55How many women executives do we have Susan?
08:59Just two women in executive roles.
09:02These are in the class.
09:04She's a talented board paid top dollar for.
09:07A quant model.
09:08She built it from scratch.
09:10And keeping her is non-negotiable.
09:12Our marketing dominance depends on it.
09:14Jesse.
09:16Harvard PhD.
09:17Star trader.
09:20Dad, are you talking about Jesse?
09:22Jesse.
09:23I didn't fire Jesse, did I?
09:25Actually, Jessica.
09:26She's our golden goose.
09:28Now you need to...
09:29Dad, you just focus on getting better.
09:30I'll make sure she stays, alright?
09:35Susan, tell Jesse to come to my office.
09:37Wait a minute.
09:45Pete honey, remember our pillow talk?
09:50Trading director, one-upping Jessica.
09:55It's time you pay up lover boy.
09:57Babe, it already took a lot of effort to get you in with those fake credentials.
10:02I know, but couldn't you be a doll and work your magic for me?
10:09We've got a new CEO.
10:11Let's lay low for a while.
10:14Keep your nose clean, will ya?
10:19Of course.
10:20Alright.
10:27Pathetic.
10:28Time to upgrade my meal ticket.
10:33Come in.
10:35Jesse.
10:37Emergency.
10:38New boss just asked Jessica.
10:39What?
10:40Wait, 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?
10:49Okay.
10:50Okay.
11:01You needed something, Jackson?
11:03Jesse, right?
11:04Damn, looking good.
11:05Thanks.
11:06Word is, our quant trading model is crushing market averages.
11:12I don't say this often, but I am impressed.
11:14Wait, that's Jessica's work.
11:16How does he not know this?
11:18Absolutely.
11:19Absolutely.
11:20Jackson, I actually pulled multiple all-nighters designing that solo.
11:26You see, I have pure talent, unlike some people who climb the corporate ladder using connections.
11:35You're referring to Jessica, right?
11:36I already fired that corporate parasite.
11:37I need your model because our fund is launching and I need it to deliver and maximize company profits.
11:48Don't worry, Jackson.
11:49With Jessica out of the way, I'll get that updated model to you in no time.
11:52That's what I like to hear.
11:54All right, get going, clock's ticking.
11:55I'm on it.
11:59That Jesse's everything Frank promised, sir.
12:01Smart and easy on the eyes.
12:03Yeah, hardly remarkable.
12:04Once I hire Miss J, I won't need her anymore.
12:07Miss J?
12:08Miss J is a trading prodigy I met online.
12:10She's the unrivaled queen of the securities trading market.
12:14So that's why Jesse doesn't measure up.
12:16You've already got someone else in mind.
12:18Always two steps ahead, Susan.
12:22Susan, do you see an issue here?
12:23Coffee.
12:24Always.
12:25Right here.
12:26Unbelievable.
12:29Miss J, you're the only woman who deserves to be my equal.
12:32Join TV and I'll hand you the entire company.
12:52Boss, we have an emergency.
12:53Your wife's in serious trouble.
12:54Are you crazy?
12:55I haven't even confessed to Jessica yet.
12:56Ah, don't go around calling her that.
12:57You told me to call her that.
12:58Eight years of this secret crush.
12:59Still no action.
13:00Look, nothing bad can happen to her when I'm...
13:01Wait, hold on.
13:02You found Jessica?
13:03We got her.
13:04She's running trading at TB Securities.
13:05Well, she was until the new CEO stepped in and fired her.
13:06Fired her?
13:07She's brilliant.
13:08How could she get fired?
13:09Something's off here.
13:10Let's go get her.
13:11This is the perfect opportunity for you to step in, be the hero, confess your feelings.
13:14You idiot.
13:15You idiot.
13:16You idiot.
13:17This is the perfect opportunity to bring her on my team.
13:21Seeing each other every day, I'll finally get my shot with her.
13:23Boss, snap out of it.
13:24You idiot.
13:25You idiot.
13:26You idiot.
13:27This is the perfect opportunity to bring her on my team.
13:29Seeing each other every day, I'll finally get my shot with her.
13:31Boss, snap out of it.
13:32You idiot.
13:33We got her.
13:34We got her.
13:35She's running trading at TB Securities.
13:37Well, she was until the new CEO stepped in and fired her.
13:39Fired her?
13:40She's brilliant.
13:41How could she get fired?
13:42I'll finally get my shot with her.
13:43Boss, snap out of it.
13:44She's in security trading.
13:46Clooney Financial doesn't even have a brokerage division.
13:49So we'll buy one.
14:03This office is all mine now.
14:06Ugh.
14:07Broke much?
14:08Disgusting.
14:09Jessica's Jackson's drinker, Mrs. J?
14:13Jackson fired Jessica.
14:14And no one knows who she really is.
14:19I can take advantage of this.
14:20Jessi, what do you think you're doing?
14:26Is it Jay?
14:29You're tracks and fire, Jessica.
14:31And no one knows who she really is.
14:34I can take advantage of this.
14:42Jesse, what do you think you're doing?
14:52Hey boss, we locked in the SkyEdge tech acquisition for $1.3 billion.
14:55Just need your signature to close it.
14:59Boss.
15:00Boss!
15:01What?
15:02Don't tell me you're looking at pictures of your crush Jessica again.
15:05What crush?
15:06You're looking at the future Mrs. Clooney.
15:09We've been hunting for her for eight years with no luck.
15:11What if she's married already?
15:13Well yeah, she's incredible.
15:15Of course others would see that too.
15:18Not happening.
15:23Where are you going?
15:24To the racetrack.
15:26Boss!
15:28To the racetrack.
15:42You win!
15:43Yes!
15:44Boss!
15:45The trading system is down!
15:50What?
15:51The trading system is down!
15:53We need you!
15:54The system is still placing counter trend orders.
15:55The more the market rises, the faster we're selling.
15:57All my stop losses are firing like crazy.
16:00We're down 100 million already.
16:01The computer thinks this is normal.
16:02I can't do anything no matter what I try.
16:03If we do this for another hour we're going to be filing for chapter 11.
16:04Don't panic!
16:05The boss is here!
16:06Stop staring and get out of the chair!
16:07Go!
16:08Go!
16:09Go!
16:10Go!
16:11Go!
16:12Go!
16:13Go!
16:14Go!
16:15Go!
16:16Go!
16:17Go!
16:18anything no matter what I try. If we do this for another hour we're going to be
16:21filing for chapter 11. Don't panic! The boss is here!

17:53Relax people I just got to reset one more parameter and we're golden. Go home get
17:58some sleep. And with that we're gone. Thank you boss you truly are the MVP.
18:06All right let's go folks! Come on let her work! Let's go!
18:28Nailed it.
18:36The model's fixed? The company account.
18:40Oh, wow.
18:55The model's fixed?
18:56The company account.
18:58Hoss is insane! Fixed the glitch, saved our butts, and made a Kelly in one night.
19:03Time to update that resume, Tom? Or was all that big talk just hot air?
19:07Mark, who is our boss? Really?
19:10Well, this is usual, Tom. Jessica wrote our quant trading model from scratch.
19:14Our algorithm is the reason why TB Security is a titan-
19:17What on earth are we doing during work hours?
