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!

01:46Come!
01:47Go!
01:50Go!
01:55Go!
01:59Go!
02:01Yesterday'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.
02:24Boss, even you can't solve it?
02:31Sorry, food 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.
02:51Here you go, boss.
02:53Relax people, I just gotta reset one more parameter and we're golden.
03:10Go home, get some sleep.
03:12And with that, we're gone.
03:16Thank you boss, you truly are the MVP.
03:19Alright, let's go folks.
03:21Come on, let her work, let's go!
03:23Nailed it!
03:32Nailed it.
04:02The model's fixed?
04:09The company account.
04:10Haas is insane!
04:12Fixed the glitch, saved our butts, and made a killing in one night.
04:16Time to update that resume, Tom?
04:18Or is all that big talk just hot air?
04:20Mark, who is our boss?
04:22Really?
04:23This is as 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.
04:43And last time I checked, these are crime trading hours, aren't they?
04:47Well, it's actually funny you mention that.
04:49You are fired!
04:51What?
04:53Here at TB, we do not tolerate mediocrity.
04:58Only the best work here.
05:01We made it here on Pure Talent.
05:02You want to talk about mediocrity?
05:03Let's discuss that trust fund that bought your position-
05:05You just hit her?
05:06What the hell's wrong with you?
05:07I'm not going to waste my time talking to garbage.
05:09Here is your hush money.
05:11Take it and get out.
05:13You know what?
05:14Here's a little extra.
05:15Use it to buy yourself some makeup and cover up that bruise.
05:17No one wants to see that.
05:18Drop it.
05:19Just go handle as much as work.
05:20The board paid insane money for her brain.
05:22Jackson won't have the guts to touch her.
05:23Listen up, everybody.
05:24The market is a savage wilderness.
05:25It is a dog-eat-dog world.
05:26It is eat-or-be-eaten.
05:27You need to be Apex predators.
05:30Not little fluffy perfumes.
05:31You do not enjoy ol' branded
05:45Listen up, everybody. The market is a savage wilderness. It is a dog-eat-dog world. It is eat or be eaten.
05:52You need to be apex predators, not little fluffy performance-faking rabbits.
05:59Those will be eaten, but the real alphas, the real rainmakers among you will be rewarded accordingly.
06:08At the top of the leaderboard is Caitlin. Where's my superstar?
06:19That would be me.
06:21Caitlin. Is this Kayla Twist? Are you a Kayla Twist fan? You know, she has a concert tonight. Would you want to go?
06:29God, yes.
06:30This is perfect. It's perfect. Go now before you're late. And as soon as the concert's over, clean out your desk because you're fired.
06:37What? Why?
06:39The Nikkei opens during concert hours. You know, I figured a traitor wouldn't put Kayla Twist above making traits.
06:45Those numbers must be fake. And who's your boss? I need to meet the clown that runs this circus.
06:50It's Jessica. She's here.
07:07You are fired.
07:12Move your damn foot and explain what rock you crawled out from under.
07:15Who I am doesn't matter. All 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? Her name wasn't even on those reports. So take your headphones and beat it.
07:39Can't trash ruin my shoes.
07:41And to you defenders, finance takes timing and judgment. And sticking up for her shows that you have neither.
07:49So pack your crap and follow her out the door.
07:51Leave them alone. They have nothing to do with this. I'll go.
07:55What? Is office drama more important than making money now?
08:08Susan!
08:15Boss, she's high up in trading. Firing her out of nowhere might be problematic.
08:22Susan, Susan, Susan.
08:25Look around. Finance 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. We 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? Don't tell me it's...
08:55How many women executives do we have Susan?
08:59Just two women in executive roles. These are in the class.
09:03She's a talented board paid top dollar for. A quant model. She built it from scratch.
09:11And keeping her is non-negotiable. Our marketing dominance depends on it.
09:15Jesse, Harvard PhD, start trader.
09:21Dad, are you talking about Jesse?
09:23Jesse.
09:24I didn't fire Jesse, did I?
09:25Actually, Jessica. She's our golden goose. Now you need to...
09:29Dad, you just focus on getting better. I'll make sure she stays, alright?
09:35Susan, tell Jesse to come to my office.
09:37Right away.
09:38Pete, honey. Remember our pillow talk? Trading director. One-upping Jessica.
09:55It's time you pay up, lover boy.
09:58Babe, 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. Let's lay low for a while.
10:15Keep your nose clean, will ya?
10:20Of course.
10:28Pathetic. Time to upgrade my meal ticket.
10:33Come in.
10:35Jesse.
10:37Emergency. New boss just asked Jessica.
10:40What? Wait, 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?
10:50Okay.
10:54God.
10:55You needed something, Jackson?
11:03Jesse, right? Damn, looking good.
11:06Thanks.
11:07Word 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. How does he not know this?
11:18Absolutely.
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.
11:36You're referring to Jessica, right?
11:41I already fired that corporate parasite.
11:43I need your model, because our fund is launching and I need it to deliver and maximize company profits.
11:49Don't worry, Jackson. With Jessica out of the way, I'll get that updated model to you in no time.
11:53That's what I like to hear.
11:55All right, get going, clock's ticking.
11:56I'm on it.
11:59That Jesse's everything Frank promised, sir. Smart and easy on the eyes.
12:04Hardly remarkable.
12:05Once I hire Miss J, I won't need her anymore.
12:08Miss J?
12:09Miss J is a trading prodigy I met online.
12:11She's the unrivaled queen of the securities trading market.
12:13So that's why Jesse doesn't measure up. You've already got someone else in mind.
12:18Always two steps ahead, Susan.
12:22Susan, do you see an issue here? Coffee. Always. Right here.
12:26Unbelievable.
12:30Miss J, you're the only woman who deserves to be my equal.
12:33Join TV and I'll hand you the entire company.
12:43Miss J.
12:44Miss J.
12:45Miss J.
12:46Miss J.
12:47Miss J.
12:48Miss J.
12:49Miss J.
12:50Miss J.
12:51Miss J.
12:52Miss J.
12:53Miss J.
12:54Miss J.
12:55Miss J.
12:56Miss J.
12:57Miss J.
12:58Boss, we have an emergency. Your wife's in serious trouble.
13:01Are you crazy? I haven't even confessed to Jessica yet.
13:05Don't go around calling her that.
13:06You told me to call her that. Eight years of this secret crush, still no action.
13:10Look, nothing bad can happen to her when I'm... Wait, hold on. You found Jessica?
13:14We got her. She's running trading at TB Securities.
13:17Well, she was until the new CEO stepped in and fired her.
13:20Fired her? She's brilliant. How could she get fired?
13:23Something's off here.
13:24Let's go get her.
13:25This is the perfect opportunity for you to step in, be the hero, confess your feelings.
13:30You idiot.
13:34You idiot.
13:35This is the perfect opportunity to bring her on my team.
13:38Seeing 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.
13:46Clooney Financial doesn't even have a brokerage division.
13:49So we'll buy one.
13:51This office is all mine now.
14:02Ugh.
14:03Broke much?
14:04Disgusting.
14:05all mine now. Broke much? Disgusting.
14:24Jessica's Jackson's drinker, Mrs. J? Jackson fired Jessica. No one knows who
14:32she really is. I can take advantage of this.
14:42Jessie, what do you think you're doing?
14:51Hey boss, we locked in the SkyEdge tech acquisition for 1.3 billion. Just need
14:56your signature to close it. Boss? Boss? What? Don't tell me you're looking at pictures of your
15:04crush Jessica again. What crush? You're looking at the future Mrs. Clooney.
15:09We've been hunting for her for eight years with no luck. What if she's married already?
15:13Well yeah, she's incredible. Of course others would see that too.
15:17Not happening. Where are you going? To the racetrack. Boss? To the racetrack.
15:42You win! Yes!
15:47Boss! The trading system is down.
15:55What? The trading system is down. We need you.
16:05The system is still placing counter trend orders. The more the market rises, the faster we're selling.
16:09All my stop bosses are firing like crazy. We're down 100 a moment already.
16:15The computer thinks this is normal. I can't do anything no matter what I try.
16:18If we do this for another hour, we're going to be filing for chapter 11.
16:22Don't panic. The boss is here.
16:24The boss is here.
16:33Stop staring and get out of the chair. Go!

18:22You.
18:35Nailed it.
18:47Oh, oh, oh, oh.
