00:00:00Hey boss, we locked in the SkyEdge tech acquisition for $1.3 billion.
00:00:08Just need your signature to close it.
00:00:12Boss.
00:00:13Boss!
00:00:14What?
00:00:15Don't tell me you're looking at pictures of your crush Jessica again.
00:00:18What crush?
00:00:19You're looking at the future Mrs. Clooney.
00:00:22We've been hunting for her for eight years with no luck.
00:00:25What if she's married already?
00:00:26Well, yeah.
00:00:27She's incredible.
00:00:28Of course others would see that too.
00:00:30Not happening.
00:00:36Where are you going?
00:00:37To the racetrack.
00:00:39Boss!
00:00:41To the racetrack.
00:00:54You win!
00:00:55Yes!
00:00:58Boss!
00:00:59The trading system is down!
00:01:03What?
00:01:04The trading system is down!
00:01:06We need you!
00:01:07The system is still placing counter trend orders!
00:01:08The more the market rises, the faster we're selling!
00:01:09All my stop bosses are firing like crazy!
00:01:14We're down at a certain moment already!
00:01:16The computer thinks this is normal!
00:01:17I can't do anything no matter what I try!
00:01:18If we do this for another hour we're going to be filing for chapter 11!
00:01:24Don't panic!
00:01:25The boss is here!
00:01:26Stop staring and get out of the chair!
00:01:27Go!
00:01:28Go!
00:01:29Go!
00:01:30Go!
00:01:31Go!
00:01:32Go!
00:01:33Go!
00:01:34Go!
00:01:35Go!
00:01:37Go!
00:01:39Go!
00:01:42Go!
00:01:44Go!
00:01:45Go!
00:01:46and get out of the chair. Go!
00:02:09Yesterday's rate cut didn't make it into our baseline indicators.
00:02:12So, the model thinks up is down, and down is up.
00:02:17So naturally, it's doing exactly the opposite of what it should.
00:02:28Boss, even you can't solve it?
00:02:31Sorry, food coma's hitting hard.
00:02:34Mind grabbing me a Coke?
00:02:38Who does she think she's fooling?
00:02:40What does a woman possibly know about all this?
00:02:42If she fixes it, I'll quit immediately.
00:02:44You're gonna eat those words faster than Jessica's eating those chips.
00:02:51Here you go, boss.
00:02:52Relax, people. I just gotta reset one more parameter and we're golden.
00:03:08Go home, get some sleep.
00:03:11And get some sleep.
00:03:14And with that, we're gone.
00:03:16Thank you, boss. You truly are the MVP.
00:03:19Alright, let's go, folks.
00:03:20Come on, let her work. Let's go!
00:03:21Come on, let her work. Let's go!
00:03:22Nailed it.
00:03:23Oh!
00:03:24Oh!
00:03:25Oh!
00:03:26Oh!
00:03:27Oh!
00:03:28Nailed it.
00:03:58The model's fixed?
00:04:10The company account.
00:04:11POS is insane!
00:04:13Fixed the glitch, saved our butts, and made a killing in one night.
00:04:16Time to update that resume, Tom?
00:04:18Or is all that big talk just hot air?
00:04:20Mark, who is our boss?
00:04:22Really?
00:04:23This is as usual, Tom.
00:04:24Jessica wrote our quant trading model from scratch.
00:04:27Our algorithm is the reason why TB's security is a titan.
00:04:30What on earth are we doing during work hours?
00:04:35And you are?
00:04:36Meet the chairman's son.
00:04:38Your new CEO.
00:04:40Of course, his talents have the board's complete endorsement.
00:04:44Man, last time I checked, these are prime trading hours, aren't they?
00:04:48Well, it's actually funny you mention that.
00:04:49You are fired.
00:04:51What?
00:04:53Here at TB, we do not tolerate mediocrity.
00:04:57Here at TB, we do not tolerate mediocrity.
00:05:02Only the best work here.
00:05:05I made it here on Pure Talent.
00:05:07You want to talk about mediocrity?
00:05:09Let's discuss that trust fund that bought your business.
00:05:11Oh!
00:05:13Did you just hit her?
00:05:15What the hell's wrong with you?
00:05:16I'm not going to waste my time talking the garbage.
00:05:22Here is your hush money.
00:05:26Take it and get out.
00:05:28You know what?
00:05:30Here's a little extra.
00:05:32Use it to buy yourself some makeup and cover up that bruise.
00:05:34No one wants to see that.
00:05:35Drop it.
00:05:37Just go handle as much as work.
00:05:40The board paid insane money for her brain.
00:05:43Jackson will not put the guts to touch her.
00:05:45Listen up, everybody.
00:05:46The market is a savage wilderness.
00:05:49It is a dog-eat-dog world.
00:05:50It is eat or be eaten.
00:05:52You need to be apex predators, not little, fluffy, performance-faking rabbits.
00:05:59Those will be eaten.
00:06:02But the real elephants, the real rainmakers among you, will be rewarded accordingly.
00:06:12Top of the leaderboard is...
00:06:16Caitlin!
00:06:18Where's my superstar?
00:06:20That would be me.
00:06:20Caitlin.
00:06:24Is this Kayla Twist?
00:06:26Are you a Kayla Twist fan?
00:06:28You know, she has a concert tonight.
00:06:29Would you want to go?
00:06:30God, yes.
00:06:31This is perfect.
00:06:31This is perfect.
00:06:32Go now, before you're late.
00:06:34And as soon as the concert's over, clean out your desk, because you're fired.
00:06:38What?
00:06:39Why?
00:06:40The Nikkei opens during concert hours.
00:06:42You know, I figured a traitor wouldn't put Kayla Twist above making traits.
00:06:46Those numbers must be fake.
00:06:48And who's your boss?
00:06:48I need to meet the clown that runs the circus.
00:06:50It's Jessica.
00:06:52She's here.
00:06:53You are fired.
00:07:13Move your damn foot and explain what rock you crawled out from under.
00:07:16Who I am doesn't matter.
00:07:17All that matters is that you are fired.
00:07:19Are you certain about firing me?
00:07:21You think you're some unicorn employee that this place will crash and burn without your precious brain?
00:07:25You wouldn't say that, exactly.
00:07:26Jessica hasn't slept because she was busy saving us nine figures because of a bug.
00:07:30Yeah, and we even made a profit.
00:07:31You expect me to believe that?
00:07:33Her name wasn't even on those reports.
00:07:36So take your headphones and beat it.
00:07:40And trash ruin my shoes.
00:07:43And to you defenders, finance takes timing and judgment.
00:07:47And sticking up for her shows that you have neither.
00:07:50So pack your crap and follow her out the door.
00:07:52Leave them alone.
00:07:53They have nothing to do with this.
00:07:55I'll go.
00:07:55What?
00:07:59Is office drama more important than making money now?
00:08:09Susan!
00:08:16Boss.
00:08:17She's high up in trading.
00:08:19Firing her out of nowhere might be problematic.
00:08:22Susan, Susan, Susan.
00:08:26Look around.
00:08:26Finance is a men's game.
00:08:28Okay, as far as I'm concerned, she was just sitting there, woman in a chair, and cashing paychecks.
00:08:33All right, I did us a favor.
00:08:34We should have squashed that bug a while ago.
00:08:41Dad, how's it going?
00:08:43I forgot to mention to you, there's this one woman exec you absolutely cannot mess with.
00:08:51Woman executive?
00:08:52How many women execs do we have, Susan?
00:08:58Just two women in executive roles.
00:09:00These are the clients.
00:09:03She's a talent that board paid top dollar for.
00:09:06Quant model.
00:09:07She built her from scratch.
00:09:09And keeping her is non-negotiable.
00:09:11Our marketing dominance depends on it.
00:09:13Jesse, Harvard PhD, start trader.
00:09:18Dad, are you talking about Jesse?
00:09:20Jesse?
00:09:21Jesse.
00:09:22I didn't fire Jesse, did I?
00:09:23Actually, Jessica.
00:09:25She's our golden goose.
00:09:26Now you need to...
00:09:27Dad, you just focus on getting better.
00:09:29I'll make sure she stays, all right?
00:09:33Susan, tell Jesse to come to my office.
00:09:35Wait a minute.
00:09:44Pete, honey.
00:09:46Remember our pillow talk?
00:09:48Trading director.
00:09:50What up in Jessica?
00:09:51It's time you pay a lover, boy.
00:09:56Babe, it already took a lot of effort to get you in with those fake credentials.
00:10:00I know, but couldn't you be a doll and work your magic for me?
00:10:07We've got a new CEO.
00:10:09Let's lay low for a while.
00:10:11Well, keep your nose clean, will ya?
00:10:18Of course.
00:10:19All right.
00:10:26Pathetic.
00:10:27Time to upgrade my meal ticket.
00:10:32Come in.
00:10:34Jesse.
00:10:36Emergency.
00:10:36New boss just asked Jessica.
00:10:37What?
00:10:39Wait, he fired Jessica?
00:10:40God, is he suicidal or just stupid?
00:10:42He wants you to go see him now.
00:10:44Am I up next on the chopping block?
00:10:48Okay.
00:10:48Okay.
00:10:52What?
00:11:00You needed something, Jackson?
00:11:01Jesse, you're right.
00:11:03Damn, looking good.
00:11:04Thanks.
00:11:05Word is, our quant trading model is crushing market averages.
00:11:10I don't say this often, but I am impressed.
00:11:12Wait, that's Jessica's work.
00:11:14How does he not know this?
00:11:17Absolutely.
00:11:18Jackson, I actually pulled multiple all-nighters designing that solo.
00:11:24You see, I have pure talent, unlike some people who climb the corporate ladder using connections.
00:11:37You're referring to Jessica, right?
00:11:39I already fired that corporate parasite.
00:11:41I need your model, because our fund is launching, and I need it to deliver and maximize company profits.
00:11:47Don't worry, Jackson.
00:11:48With Jessica out of the way, I'll get that updated model to you in no time.
00:11:51That's what I like to hear.
00:11:52All right, get going, clock's ticking.
00:11:54I'm on it.
00:11:57That Jesse's everything Frank promised, sir.
00:12:00Smart and easy on the eyes.
00:12:02Hardly remarkable.
00:12:03As I hire Miss J, I won't need her anymore.
00:12:06Miss J?
00:12:06Miss J is a trading prodigy I met online.
00:12:09She's the unrivaled queen of the securities trading market.
00:12:12So that's why Jesse doesn't measure up.
00:12:14You've already got someone else in mind.
00:12:16Always two steps ahead, Susan.
00:12:20Susan, do you see an issue here?
00:12:22Coffee, always, right here.
00:12:24Unbelievable.
00:12:28Miss J, you're the only woman who deserves to be my equal.
00:12:31Join TV, and I'll hand you the entire company.
00:12:36Boss, we have an emergency.
00:12:57Your wife's in serious trouble.
00:12:59Are you crazy?
00:13:00I haven't even confessed to Jessica yet.
00:13:03Don't go around calling her that.
00:13:04You told me to call her that.
00:13:06Eight years of this secret crush, still no action.
00:13:08Look, nothing bad can happen to her when I'm...
00:13:11Wait, hold on.
00:13:11You found Jessica?
00:13:12We got her.
00:13:13She's running trading at TB Securities.
00:13:15Well, she was until the new CEO stepped in and fired her.
00:13:18Fired her?
00:13:19She's brilliant.
00:13:19How could she get fired?
00:13:22Something's off here.
00:13:23Let's go get her.
00:13:24This is the perfect opportunity for you to step in,
00:13:26be the hero, confess your feelings.
00:13:29You idiot.
00:13:29This office is all mine now.
00:13:54Broke much?
00:13:55Disgusting.
00:13:56Jessica's Jackson's drink home, Mrs. J?
00:14:08We're Jackson fired, Jessica.
00:14:11No one knows who she really is.
00:14:14I can take advantage of this.
00:14:15Jesse, what do you think you're doing?
00:14:27What do you think you're doing, Jesse?
00:14:29Nothing.
00:14:30I'm just trying to deal with...
00:14:31Move!
00:14:33Do you know what you just did?
00:14:35Your reckless typing just cost the company 200 grand.
00:14:38What?
00:14:39No, wait.
00:14:40I didn't touch anything.
00:14:41Don't try to pin this on me, Jessica.
00:14:43Good luck explaining that to the board.
00:14:44What?
00:14:47You wouldn't dare.
00:14:49I guess we'll just have to see what happens.
00:14:50Just stop.
00:14:52Hey!
00:14:52I said wait!
00:14:54I...
00:14:56Jessica!
00:15:01What the hell is going on?
00:15:02Jackson, Jessica messed with a model revenge against you,
00:15:05and when I tried to stop her, she slapped me.
00:15:06That's a lie.
00:15:07You were obviously the one who...
00:15:08I was, but...
00:15:10It was me.
00:15:12I'm so sorry.
00:15:12I tried to catch her in time, but I was too late, and...
00:15:17She cost the company 200 grand in less than 60 seconds.
00:15:20I'm so sorry.
00:15:22Let them investigate.
00:15:23The error came from your terminal, Jessica.
00:15:25You can't escape this one.
00:15:27Hey, it's...
00:15:27It's not your fault.
00:15:30It's her fault.
00:15:31How is the world so full of complete idiots?
00:15:35Who are you calling an idiot?
00:15:36Think you're leaving?
00:15:37Security!
00:15:41What is the meaning of this?
00:15:44Jessica, you've assaulted one of my employees and tanked company assets.
00:15:48Did you really think that you were just going to waltz on out the door?
00:15:51So what now?
00:15:52You're planning on having me arrested?
00:15:53That's exactly what I'll do.
00:15:56You'll have to pay back that $200,000, and you'll serve jail time.
00:16:01Jackson, I'm wondering something.
00:16:03How did someone with your limited cognitive abilities become TV CEO?
00:16:07You pathetic waste of space!
00:16:09How dare you question Jackson's leadership!
00:16:12Did you just slap me?
00:16:15You attacked me first.
00:16:16I was just defending myself.
00:16:18Jackson!
00:16:20Restrain her!
00:16:20What do you think you're doing?
00:16:23Anyone who assaults my staff will face consequences.
00:16:27You better get down on your hands and knees and beg me for forgiveness.
00:16:32And I might just let it slide.
00:16:34In your dreams.
00:16:38You ungrateful bitch!
00:16:41Whoa!
00:16:50What is with all the office drama?
00:16:57You having a party without me?
00:17:00It's the future wife of the Clooney Financial Group's president.
00:17:06Whoa!
00:17:08What is with all the office drama?
00:17:10You having a party without me?
00:17:11Well, look who it is.
00:17:18The legendary playboy himself.
00:17:19William, head of the Clooney Financial Group.
00:17:23For the record, I'm a one-woman man.
00:17:25William, what are you even doing here?
00:17:26Last time I checked, Clooney Financial wasn't even in the securities game.
00:17:29You're absolutely right, Jackson.
00:17:31I wasn't until about an hour ago.
00:17:33What was it called again?
00:17:34Charles Securities.
00:17:35Right.
00:17:35Jessica, word on the street is some idiot just fired you.
00:17:42How about joining my team?
00:17:44Have we met before?
00:17:46He actually looks at your picture every day, so he's pretty familiar with me.
00:17:53Are you some creep?
00:18:01What he's trying to say is I've reviewed your professional headshots
00:18:04while studying your exceptional training record.
00:18:08With your talents, our company will dominate the market.
00:18:10Dominate the market for a company you bought an hour ago?
00:18:14William, I think your playboy lifestyle has finally fried your brain.
00:18:18This moron who lost my company 200 grand in five minutes is your genius trader?
00:18:24Maybe you should get your eyes checked instead, Jackson.
00:18:26You know nothing.
00:18:29Miss J, who I happen to know personally,
00:18:31is the top female trader in existence.
00:18:34Miss J?
00:18:35That's my exact online alias.
00:18:40Jackson, it was me emailing you all along.
00:18:44Jesse, you're Miss J.
00:18:47How could I not realize that?
00:18:48I mean, with your absolutely brilliant talent and stunning books.
00:18:54Oh.
00:18:55Um, we're still here.
00:18:58You two can go get a room, or, you know, me and Jessica can just get on out of here.
00:19:03Look, William.
00:19:04I don't care if you throw money at women for fun,
00:19:06but Jessica is TB property, and we will handle her as we see fits.
00:19:11That's right, Mr. Clooney.
00:19:12And don't be fooled by Jessica here.
00:19:15She likes to sleep her way to the top.
00:19:17Not to mention that she lost 200,000 of our company's money in less than, what, five minutes?
00:19:24Jesse, you know exactly who lost about 200 grand.
00:19:28And Jackson, does the board know you fired me?
00:19:32Are you prepared to take responsibility for the losses that will follow?
00:19:36Now, why on earth would I need board approval to fire you?
00:19:41Do you think you created that model that TB is going to crash and burn without you here?
00:19:45Congratulations, you just answered your own question.
00:19:48What nonsense are you spewing now?
00:19:49Jesse created that model.
00:19:51TB's market dominance.
00:19:53It's all thanks to her.
00:19:55Jesse.
00:19:55Jackson!
00:19:57TB needs your leadership to succeed.
00:20:00And, you know, some people are just dead weight, and we should cut our losses.
00:20:05Exactly.
00:20:06Jessica, you will pay back every dime of that $200,000.
00:20:14Jessica, you will pay back every dime of that $200,000.
00:20:25There's your money, Jackson.
00:20:28Jessica, it's time to go.
00:20:30Hold on.
00:20:33Jackson, fine.
00:20:35Fire me.
00:20:36But I didn't cause that $200,000 loss, so I'm not paying a dime.
00:20:40But about those promised dividends?
00:20:41Jessica, you will never see one cent of those bonuses.
00:20:47All right then, I'll recover it from the market myself.
00:20:49The job offer is still on the table.
00:20:54Okay, then I will make sure this check is money well spent.
00:20:59What was the name of your company again?
00:21:01Charles Securities.
00:21:03Mark my words, Jackson, Jesse.
00:21:07Charles will crush TB and claim the top spot in no time.
00:21:10You threw $200,000 at me just to buy me a whiskey.
00:21:29Well, when old classmates reunite, isn't catching up the first order of business?
00:21:42This photo.
00:21:43Don't remember, huh?
00:21:47It's not surprising.
00:21:48You were always first in class.
00:21:50Probably don't remember who came second.
00:21:52I honestly don't recall.
00:22:17So, you do remember me then?
00:22:25So, you do remember me then?
00:22:30Perpetually coming into second place?
00:22:33That's certainly hard to forget.
00:22:34My life, only victories.
00:22:59TB Securities has seen massive layoffs since its new CEO took charge.
00:23:04With over a third of core staff terminated.
00:23:06Industry sources suggest potential internal management.
00:23:15Son.
00:23:16Son.
00:23:18Please tell me you did not let Jessica go.
00:23:24Miss J.
00:23:26You were everything I imagined and more.
00:23:30Beautiful mind.
00:23:31Stunning books.
00:23:34Hey, Dad.
00:23:47Son.
00:23:47Please tell me you did not let Jessica go.
00:23:52Jessica?
00:23:54No.
00:23:54Dad.
00:23:55No, no, no.
00:23:55I think you have the wrong...
00:23:57Easy.
00:23:58Easy, Jessie.
00:23:59Okay, let me just wrap this up.
00:24:01She is critical to our company's survival.
00:24:04You can't let her go.
00:24:06Dad, don't worry.
00:24:07I kept our most crucial talent.
00:24:10With our current partnership,
00:24:12TV is in great hands with a very bright future.
00:24:15Jessie, as you heard, we need to fast-track that model upgrade.
00:24:24What's wrong, Jackson?
00:24:26You worried about Jessica and William?
00:24:28Please.
00:24:29One's incompetent, the other one's a playboy.
00:24:31They're beneath my concern.
00:24:33Hey.
00:24:35But the fund's launch is all that really matters.
00:24:38I trust you completely with the fund.
00:24:42All right, after all,
00:24:44Miss J's fund broke all industry profit records last year in only three months.
00:24:48Jessica was that good?
00:24:50Hey, what's wrong?
00:24:51Hey.
00:24:52Jackson, don't worry.
00:24:54I'll get that upgraded model ASAP
00:24:56just to make sure that the launch is perfect.
00:24:59When all the business is done,
00:25:01I say we get back to pleasure.
00:25:11What?
00:25:13Charles Securities is bankrupt?
00:25:14As the previous owner,
00:25:16let me be clear,
00:25:16Charles is not bankrupt.
00:25:19You're nearly about to be bankrupt.
00:25:20Is there even a difference?
00:25:23Seriously?
00:25:23You couldn't find a better company to buy?
00:25:25Sir, you were so eager to woo the girl
00:25:28with your last-minute purchase demand.
00:25:29I didn't have to...
00:25:30Shut up.
00:25:34Jessica, not to worry.
00:25:36Look, if Charles fails,
00:25:37we'll find another firm.
00:25:39Heck, I'd even buy TB if...
00:25:41Necessary.
00:25:42Buy TB Securities.
00:25:44Oh, you got that kind of money laying around?
00:25:45Of course I do.
00:25:47Don't bother.
00:25:48As long as Charles has proper licensing,
00:25:49I can make it outrank TB
00:25:51and dominate the industry.
00:25:52Don't make me laugh.
00:25:54TB has the most advanced
00:25:55quantitative trading model out there.
00:25:58You can never top that,
00:25:59no matter how good you are.
00:26:00What if she's the genius behind TB's model?
00:26:03What?
00:26:07No, no way.
00:26:09TB is top dog,
00:26:11solely because of their
00:26:12one-of-a-kind trading model.
00:26:14If you designed it,
00:26:16why would they ever let you go?
00:26:18Maybe because their management
00:26:19wouldn't see talent
00:26:20if it hit them in the face.
00:26:22No way.
00:26:23I'm not buying this.
00:26:24TB's management can't be that dumb.
00:26:25No, no, no, no.
00:26:28Is this the famous
00:26:32TB model you're so impressed by?
00:26:34How?
00:26:36You just recreated
00:26:38TB's entire trading model
00:26:39in just a minute.
00:26:41Oh, great one.
00:26:42How can I assist you?
00:26:44Coffee, tea, anything.
00:26:44My undying loyalty.
00:26:46Anything.
00:26:50With you on the team,
00:26:51we'll topple TB
00:26:52before they know what hit them.
00:26:53Um, I'm the boss here.
00:26:56However,
00:26:57boss,
00:26:59we have one big issue.
00:27:00We're seriously understaffed.
00:27:03That's no problem.
00:27:05This lists every key player
00:27:06in the industry.
00:27:08Name anyone
00:27:08and I'll have them hired by tomorrow.
00:27:10No need to waste money on that.
00:27:11Uh, what about our technical team?
00:27:14Well, TB has plenty of staff, right?
00:27:15Recruit from TB?
00:27:17Well, there pays
00:27:17legendary best in the business.
00:27:19I doubt anyone
00:27:20is going to jump ship.
00:27:28Hey, Mark.
00:27:29It's me.
00:27:30Hi, Jessica.
00:27:32I'm in.
00:27:33I'm handing my notice right now.
00:27:35Jessica's team is hiring.
00:27:36You want to jump ship with me?
00:27:37Seriously?
00:27:38I'd work for less.
00:27:39It's Jessica frickin' Jenkins.
00:27:41Wait for me.
00:27:41I'm coming too.
00:27:47Boss, we're screwed.
00:27:47All I see in your analysts and traders
00:27:49just quit simultaneously.
00:27:51Trade floor's a ghost town.
00:27:52What?
00:27:53They quit on what grounds?
00:27:54Where does Jessica poach them all?
00:27:56That's just like her,
00:27:57playing dirty.
00:27:58You know, she can't beat us fair and square,
00:28:00so she'd probably bribe them
00:28:01with a...
00:28:01on William's fortune.
00:28:04Okay.
00:28:04Perfect.
00:28:06See, Susan,
00:28:07this is why I hired her.
00:28:08Yeah.
00:28:09Yeah.
00:28:17They're gorgeous.
00:28:28Why are they dressed like that
00:28:29for the office?
00:28:30Finally,
00:28:31you're here.
00:28:36Attention.
00:28:37Attention, everyone.
00:28:39I would like to introduce you
00:28:40to our new senior traders,
00:28:41Larry and Emma,
00:28:43and our new data analyst,
00:28:45Amanda.
00:28:46They will be running
00:28:47our new trading operation
00:28:48starting today,
00:28:49so give them a warm welcome
00:28:51and get back to work.
00:28:54Jessie,
00:28:55this is not what you promised her for.
00:28:57Since when are we actually working?
00:28:59Yeah.
00:29:00Weren't we supposed to be
00:29:01hunting for sugar daddies?
00:29:02Don't worry.
00:29:03Jessica's model does everything.
00:29:05I just need you to look charming
00:29:06for the TV executives.
00:29:09Don't forget,
00:29:10we're after the whole company.
00:29:11And Jesus,
00:29:13what are you wearing?
00:29:14You look like a disco ball.
00:29:15Go change.
00:29:16God.
00:29:19These are the team members
00:29:20I worked with previously,
00:29:22and this is our boss,
00:29:23William Clooney,
00:29:24and our trading director,
00:29:26Evan something.
00:29:28Charles.
00:29:29Evan Charles.
00:29:30Nice to meet you, sir.
00:29:32Well,
00:29:33now that we're all here,
00:29:34I trust you understand our mission
00:29:35to outperform TV securities.
00:29:38And with you at our helm, Jessica,
00:29:39I know we'll crush it.
00:29:40Wonderful.
00:29:41Everyone take their seats, please.
00:29:47Jessica,
00:29:48we have the team,
00:29:49we have the funds,
00:29:50plus your copied trading model.
00:29:53We can't possibly lose.
00:29:55You mean TB's trading model?
00:29:57Oh, I erased that.
00:29:59What the hell?
00:30:00Why would you do that?
00:30:03Why would you do that?
00:30:04Because there's a catastrophic flaw
00:30:05in their basic model.
00:30:07Their model has no filtering safeguards,
00:30:09and high volatility markets,
00:30:11the position scaling module
00:30:12generates massive profits for TV.
00:30:14But when that volatility contracts,
00:30:16which it will,
00:30:17users face catastrophic losses,
00:30:19TV included.
00:30:20And if it spots the defects
00:30:21and adds a filtering protocol
00:30:23to the upgraded system,
00:30:24I'm the sole keeper
00:30:25of the core algorithm.
00:30:27They'll never grab it.
00:30:27So once we develop our upgraded version,
00:30:30we can pick them off
00:30:31in the marketplace.
00:30:32That's your dinner.
00:30:42A burger, really?
00:30:44Yeah, got a better suggestion?
00:30:46Hmm.
00:30:47Ooh, I should treat you
00:30:48to something extraordinary.
00:30:50Like Caspian Pearl Sturgeon Caviar.
00:30:53Burgers taste pretty good too, you know.
00:30:58Hmm.
00:30:58It's delicious.
00:31:02But you need to eat dinner now.
00:31:04Well, back to coding then.
00:31:06Uh, uh, uh.
00:31:08Boss's orders.
00:31:10You're done for tonight.
00:31:11Hmm.
00:31:17What the fuck?
00:31:18I can't just stay out of here.
00:31:20It's not working.
00:31:21It's not working.
00:31:23What's the problem?
00:31:24Jesse, we can't figure out
00:31:27this trading model.
00:31:27We've entered transaction amounts
00:31:29and hemorrhaged money.
00:31:30What?
00:31:33What?
00:31:34You idiots!
00:31:35Don't do this on us!
00:31:37We never claimed to understand
00:31:38quant trading.
00:31:40Yeah, if this blows up,
00:31:41we are not the ones responsible.
00:31:44Okay, how much are we talking here?
00:31:47A million bucks.
00:31:51Oh my god, you had me worried.
00:31:53A measy million is nothing to TP.
00:31:55We're talking about a million dollars.
00:32:00Okay, well relax.
00:32:02All right, Jackson, trust me.
00:32:04He's not gonna sweat the small stuff, okay?
00:32:07Anyway, I gotta go.
00:32:09I'll give a dinner date.
00:32:10That's good then.
00:32:11Yeah, isn't it?
00:32:13Clock out, you three.
00:32:14Now!
00:32:15How do we clock out?
00:32:17So this is your idea of fine dining,
00:32:29which...
00:32:29Oh, I didn't check the hours.
00:32:32Sorry.
00:32:34Well, William,
00:32:35you've wasted 30 minutes of my time.
00:32:38That's potentially thousands
00:32:39in market opportunities.
00:32:41So I'm gonna go...
00:32:42Okay, hold on.
00:33:02Happy birthday, Jessica.
00:33:03Jessica,
00:33:14there's no rush.
00:33:16I rented out the entire place
00:33:17for the evening.
00:33:18It's pre-market trading hours.
00:33:20Every minute here
00:33:20is another minute I'm not making money.
00:33:22Got it?
00:33:22But it's your birthday.
00:33:27William,
00:33:28thank you for thinking about me,
00:33:29but profits are my preferred birthday present.
00:33:31Are you gonna eat that?
00:33:36If not,
00:33:37we should really go back to work.
00:33:40Jessica,
00:33:41tonight is for birthday celebrations only.
00:33:44No more work talk.
00:33:45And what's a celebration
00:33:46without a toast?
00:33:58Alcohol wastes time
00:34:01and clouds my judgment.
00:34:04Okay.
00:34:06So what's the largest fund
00:34:08you've ever managed?
00:34:09$10 billion.
00:34:10$10 billion.
00:34:12Okay, I tell you what.
00:34:13Finish that drink
00:34:14and I'll pump $10 billion more
00:34:16into Charles Securities.
00:34:18What do you say?
00:34:19$10 billion.
00:34:20For one glass?
00:34:22Mm-hmm.
00:34:24That is an excellent ROI.
00:34:25I want to kiss you.
00:34:30I want to kiss you.
00:34:39Will one glass do?
00:34:40Or shall I drink $10 billion more?
00:34:48I apologize,
00:34:49but this is a closed booking.
00:34:50You fool.
00:34:53Do you know who he is?
00:34:57Do you know who he is?
00:34:59I don't care who he is.
00:35:01He's gonna apologize today.
00:35:03Great.
00:35:03You two again.
00:35:04Really?
00:35:06Apologize now.
00:35:07Okay, look.
00:35:08She's a waiter.
00:35:09Big deal.
00:35:09She got slapped.
00:35:10Who cares?
00:35:11You know what, kid?
00:35:11Name your price.
00:35:12No.
00:35:13Save your money.
00:35:14Don't forget,
00:35:15you're a million-dollar VIP.
00:35:17You could slap her in the face twice
00:35:18and they'd still kiss your feet.
00:35:21Assault is illegal.
00:35:22You don't want to pay?
00:35:24Well, I hope you enjoy prison.
00:35:25Oh, my God.
00:35:26She's obviously just after cash.
00:35:27Just give her, like,
00:35:28$10 grand or something.
00:35:30And my, my, Jessica.
00:35:32It turns out dating a sugar daddy
00:35:34has made you grow a backbone.
00:35:35It's so cute.
00:35:37Jessie,
00:35:38you seem awfully available.
00:35:41How's that trading model coming along?
00:35:43I'm still piggybacking off my work.
00:35:45Yeah, right.
00:35:46I don't know what you're even talking about.
00:35:47Jessie,
00:35:48she slept her way to the top.
00:35:50She's an idiot.
00:35:51Okay, don't even waste your breath.
00:35:52That's ridiculous.
00:35:53I'm the one who wrote her coattails.
00:35:55William,
00:35:56you are beyond saving.
00:35:58But here's a little lesson for you.
00:35:59Women
00:35:59will be the death of you.
00:36:02Don't waste your breath on him.
00:36:04He's beneath you.
00:36:06Maybe you should drop the sexism, Jackson.
00:36:08I mean, you know women aren't inferior to men, right?
00:36:11Plus, Jessica is ten times the person you'll ever be.
00:36:17I see your game, William.
00:36:19Throwing millions around to launch your fund alongside ours,
00:36:22all to help this hack,
00:36:23Jessica, get her petty revenge.
00:36:25Incorrect.
00:36:26I can burn money because I can afford to.
00:36:29You know what?
00:36:29I'm not wasting my breath on this anymore.
00:36:31TB's victory is guaranteed.
00:36:33Great.
00:36:34So put your money where your mouth is then, Jackson.
00:36:37If Charles Securities loses on launch day,
00:36:40you get Clooney Financial Group including all my shares.
00:36:43But if TB loses,
00:36:45I take everything you owe.
00:36:48William.
00:36:49Are you insane?
00:36:51Your shares are worth ten times that of TB.
00:36:54All for this woman.
00:36:56I made my choice.
00:36:58Jessica will make sure I win.
00:37:00Do you really have that much faith in her?
00:37:04Absolutely.
00:37:05You see, Jessica was always top of our class.
00:37:09Oh my God, were you a top student?
00:37:11That's so cute.
00:37:12Okay, you need to wake up, Mr. Clooney,
00:37:14because Wall Street is not a classroom.
00:37:17Okay.
00:37:18Enough bullshit then.
00:37:20I have one simple question for you, Jackson.
00:37:22Are you game or not?
00:37:27Are you game or not?
00:37:31If we lose this bet, Jackson loses everything.
00:37:34Stand a chance.
00:37:37Good catch, Jess.
00:37:40Black lives this restaurant, will you?
00:37:42With pleasure.
00:37:43Cowards.
00:37:45That's enough for one night.
00:37:47What do you say, more drinks?
00:37:49Sure.
00:37:55One glass, ten billion, you said, right?
00:37:57Jessica can't possibly handle this much alcohol.
00:38:00You're correct.
00:38:02Cheers.
00:38:02Cheers.
00:38:12Bottoms up, William.
00:38:24No more.
00:38:26I'm going broke.
00:38:29So, Jessica,
00:38:31do you want to join me for a dance?
00:38:34I really shouldn't.
00:38:55Sorry.
00:38:56It's okay.
00:38:58Here, let's try this.
00:39:00One, two, three...
00:39:02One, two, three...
00:39:04One, two, three...
00:39:06One, two, three...
00:39:07What are you doing?
00:39:28I really want to kiss you right now.
00:39:37If you can't handle your liquor, maybe don't drink so much next time.
00:39:47Come on, let's go.
00:39:49Hey, Jessica.
00:39:50Move!
00:39:56Hey.
00:40:00Where are we going?
00:40:02I'm taking you home.
00:40:06What?
00:40:07Do I have something on my face?
00:40:09Yeah.
00:40:11What?
00:40:11I don't feel anything.
00:40:14Some serious beauty.
00:40:19That smile makes you even more gorgeous.
00:40:29William, do you have feelings for me?
00:40:33Of course I do.
00:40:34Let's keep this party going.
00:41:01Waiter, more drinks please.
00:41:03Nope.
00:41:05You can have drinks later.
00:41:07But first tell me why you tried to kiss me at the restaurant.
00:41:09I didn't try to kiss anybody.
00:41:12The one I wanted to kiss, the one I wanted to kiss, was Jessica.
00:41:19Focus, William.
00:41:20I am Jessica.
00:41:22Now tell me why you tried to kiss me.
00:41:24Because I'm in love with you.
00:41:25Because I'm in love with you.
00:41:30What?
00:41:30Jessica, this confession is eight years overdue.
00:41:38Jessica always ranked first.
00:41:40I wanted to beat her just once before confessing, but what if she turns me down because I'm not as smart as she is.
00:41:50Ella?
00:41:53What do you mean mom collapsed?
00:41:54Okay, I'll be right there.
00:42:07Later.
00:42:08When my mother got better, I...
00:42:10I...
00:42:11You what?
00:42:14Come on, William.
00:42:15Don't leave me hanging like this.
00:42:17Get up!
00:42:19Get up!
00:42:20Jackson, there's no need to be upset about a bitch like Jessica.
00:42:40How about we cheer up?
00:42:42Look, that loser's not even on my radar.
00:42:44Listen, Jesse, I need you to bring your A game.
00:42:46Okay, when our private equity fund launches, TB's stock is going to soar.
00:42:51Not even the Clooney Financial Group will be able to touch us.
00:42:54Don't worry.
00:42:55I'm already handling the private equity fund.
00:42:58It's practically almost done.
00:43:01Perfect.
00:43:02And one more thing.
00:43:03I'm presenting our earnings to the board tomorrow.
00:43:06There's going to be some whales there.
00:43:08I want to flex our muscles, really show them what we're made of.
00:43:12Is everything all right?
00:43:14Yeah, absolutely.
00:43:15What is Jesse's problem, making us work these ungodly hours?
00:43:26Beats me.
00:43:29Larry, crank up the leverage.
00:43:31Are you sure, Jesse?
00:43:33I mean, the higher leverage, the greater return, sure, but the risk is insane.
00:43:38He's right.
00:43:39Market hiccups become earthquakes with high leverage.
00:43:42One bad day could sink the entire firm.
00:43:44Oh, God, I can't.
00:43:45I can't worry about this right now, all right?
00:43:47Just make the numbers look sexy.
00:43:51Does that make sense for you guys?
00:43:53All right.
00:43:54Okay.
00:43:54Jessica.
00:44:02Why is she here?
00:44:09Oh.
00:44:11You're out.
00:44:12Jessica.
00:44:15No kidding.
00:44:16Look, whatever happened, I'll take full responsibility for it.
00:44:19What the hell are you talking about?
00:44:24Wait, she's not freaking out?
00:44:26Play it cool, William.
00:44:27Play it cool.
00:44:29Totally kidding.
00:44:30We're all adults here.
00:44:32No explanation needed.
00:44:33You were kidding.
00:44:35So you didn't mean anything you said last night?
00:44:38Huh?
00:44:38What did I say last night?
00:44:40Wow.
00:44:40Your reputation as a womanizer is well-deserved.
00:44:56Let's get started.
00:44:57For you?
00:44:59Yes, sir.
00:45:01Thank you, Jackson.
00:45:02These numbers are impressive.
00:45:10Nice work, Jackson.
00:45:11And this, this is just the appetizer.
00:45:14When our equity fund launches, our profits are going to go nuclear.
00:45:19The question is, do market sharks like you run in on this frenzy?
00:45:29It's a pretty spreadsheet.
00:45:30But how can you be so damn confident that this fund is going to make money?
00:45:36Simple.
00:45:37I have her.
00:45:38The legendary Miss J herself, the security's queen.
00:45:42Every model backing our fund was created by her.
00:45:46Really?
00:45:47These same Mrs. J that shattered industry reports last year?
00:45:52Very same.
00:45:54Hmm.
00:45:55Well, Jackson, sign me up for a subscription.
00:45:59Send me up for a pre-lunch, too.
00:46:02All you have to do is sign the dotted line.
00:46:14Listen, Jackson.
00:46:16We are betting our entire net worth.
00:46:19If this tanks, you understand what follows.
00:46:22Relax, Mr. Padilla.
00:46:23TB doesn't know how to lose.
00:46:31All right, boss, we're here.
00:46:32Wait, what exactly was Jessica so angry about this morning?
00:46:36Boss's happiness is in my hands now.
00:46:38I've got to save him.
00:46:44Boss, I know a specialist if you want to get that checked out.
00:46:46Why the hell do you carry around ED doctor cards?
00:46:52I...
00:46:53Hold up.
00:46:54Why would I need this kind of doctor?
00:46:57I need to come around, boss.
00:46:59Hmm.
00:47:00What if I was sick?
00:47:01Would that make Jessica stop being mad at me?
00:47:03Boss, boss, we are screwed, okay?
00:47:25DB's pretty numbers have all the big fish to pre-subscribe to their fund.
00:47:28Their capital pool is massive.
00:47:31We're toast.
00:47:31Take a breath.
00:47:33How can I not panic?
00:47:35This is kind of on you, boss.
00:47:38You designed this brilliant trading model that will let TB profit even when the market
00:47:42is going crazy.
00:47:46What?
00:47:47I'm right.
00:47:48You said the model had fatal flaws, but it looks pretty perfect to me.
00:47:52That's exactly my point.
00:47:54TB showing profits during volatility can only mean one thing.
00:47:58Jesse jacked up their leverage.
00:48:01That's incredibly risky.
00:48:06One market reversal and TB's finished.
00:48:10Wait a minute.
00:48:11TB's clients are basically a Wall Street royalty with half the market funds.
00:48:15If TB torches their money...
00:48:17Oh man, they're doomed.
00:48:22Still worried.
00:48:23Hell no.
00:48:24Our model is the best out there.
00:48:26And with our fun dropping soon, we're going to be making so much money.
00:48:30Yes!
00:48:31Oh!
00:48:31Jessica!
00:48:47If you're sick, go see a doctor.
00:48:49Call me again while I'm working and I swear I'll punch you in the face.
00:48:53Well, looks like Jessica doesn't have feelings for me after all.
00:49:03Boss, chill.
00:49:04Jessica's totally into you.
00:49:06Really?
00:49:07What makes you say that?
00:49:09What makes you say that?
00:49:11Come on, say something already.
00:49:13She's a workaholic.
00:49:14And she dropped everything to have dinner with you.
00:49:16That's not business.
00:49:18That's interest.
00:49:19Yeah, it's because I dangled a billion dollar deal over a glass of wine.
00:49:23Seriously?
00:49:25Well, she could have just gone back to work, but she took you home.
00:49:29That's affection, right?
00:49:30Look, I was blackout drunk.
00:49:32She probably just didn't want her cash cow to choke on his own vomit.
00:49:36A woman like her wouldn't spend the whole night with you unless there was feelings.
00:49:40You see what I mean?
00:49:42You know what?
00:49:44You're right.
00:49:44Jessica does have feelings for me, but she's pissed right now.
00:49:50You got any tips?
00:49:51Boss, she's in the financial world.
00:49:53She appreciates assets.
00:49:57You got to show her what you're worth.
00:49:59What I'm worth?
00:50:00Money, boss.
00:50:01You got to have some big spender energy like your billion dollar drink.
00:50:05Take her shopping.
00:50:06Women love retail therapy.
00:50:07She'll forgive you as soon as you swipe that platinum card.
00:50:10Please.
00:50:11Jessica's not that superficial, all right?
00:50:13What, it's my only attractive quality?
00:50:15My $100 billion net worth?
00:50:18What about my charming personality and my amazing, dashing good looks?
00:50:23What about that?
00:50:26Wait, John.
00:50:27John, what did I say?
00:50:28Good luck with your boners.
00:50:29We crushed that meeting, thanks to you.
00:50:53I want to get you a reward, a prize.
00:50:55Anything you want.
00:50:55I don't want anything.
00:50:57I just want to spend the day with you.
00:50:59Yeah.
00:51:00Maybe we can go shopping.
00:51:01After all my hard work.
00:51:03Time to make you pay up.
00:51:04Anything you want.
00:51:05Please your day.
00:51:06This is your idea of work related?
00:51:23That is right.
00:51:24See, tomorrow at the business gala, there's a very strict dress code.
00:51:28Do you have anything appropriate at home?
00:51:30Nope.
00:51:31That's what I'd hoped you'd say.
00:51:34I mean, well, if you don't have anything, then we have to go shopping, right?
00:51:38Purely work related.
00:51:40So, shall we?
00:51:42Sure.
00:51:43Mr. Clooney, welcome.
00:51:55Is this your lovely wife I've heard about?
00:51:58Don't be ridiculous.
00:51:59This is my...
00:52:01employee.
00:52:03Now, go grab your latest collection for her to try.
00:52:06We have everything ready, sir.
00:52:07Right this way, ma'am.
00:52:08Sure.
00:52:17Yes.
00:52:17Yes.
00:52:19Whew.
00:52:38William, don't I look ridiculous in this?
00:52:45That bad, huh?
00:52:46No.
00:52:47No.
00:52:47God, no.
00:52:50Dad, you look absolutely breathtaking in that gown.
00:52:54Sir, you are lucky to have such a gorgeous wife.
00:52:59William, why does she keep calling me your wife?
00:53:03William, why does she keep calling me your wife?
00:53:05Okay, don't freak out, but this is the first time I've ever been shopping with a woman.
00:53:08So, she's assuming things.
00:53:11You heard me.
00:53:13I'm a wife dog.
00:53:15Understood.
00:53:16Right this way, mitts.
00:53:18Let's try on that second gown.
00:53:23Whew.
00:53:24What?
00:53:25What?
00:53:25What?
00:53:25What?
00:53:25What?
00:53:25What?
00:53:25What?
00:53:25What?
00:53:25What?
00:53:26What?
00:53:26What?
00:53:27What?
00:53:27What?
00:53:27What?
00:53:28What?
00:53:28What?
00:53:29What?
00:53:29What?
00:53:30What?
00:53:31What?
00:53:31What?
00:53:32What?
00:53:33What?
00:53:33What?
00:53:34What?
00:53:35What?
00:53:35What?
00:53:51Miss, you look absolutely stunning.
00:53:53Obviously.
00:53:56Sir, you might be punching above your weight here.
00:54:00I think I'll take this one.
00:54:02Business tanking and still out shopping.
00:54:04What a worthless idiot.
00:54:06You two again.
00:54:07What a pleasant surprise.
00:54:09Jessica, Charles security is tanking and yet you have William out shopping for you?
00:54:14What, do you two have like a golden parachute planned?
00:54:17Given the recent market swings, your trading model should be bleeding money.
00:54:22Unless you're using leverage, aren't you?
00:54:26Leverage? That wasn't in our most recent financial statements.
00:54:30Bullshit! We're making money because my model is brilliant.
00:54:33Yeah, right. You either faked your numbers or you buried your leverage in your reports.
00:54:37Those are the only two possibilities.
00:54:43Jessie, what is she talking about? Are TV's financial reports?
00:54:47No, Jessica is just talking garbage, okay?
00:54:50The truth is, I finished.
00:54:55I finished upgrading the new trading model and it is way more responsive to market fluctuations
00:55:01and that is why we are more profitable.
00:55:04No way!
00:55:05Jessie, you're an absolute genius!
00:55:07Yeah, I know. I stayed up all night to make sure the fun succeeded.
00:55:10See, I like to use my brain to escalate in my career, not my veteran skills.
00:55:16So you're coming after me now?
00:55:20Okay, fine. I admit, I tried to use my body to impress Jessica, but it didn't work.
00:55:26So stop with the fake news.
00:55:28So the boss doesn't steal the deal with the missiles.
00:55:30William, you're pathetic. Letting this airhead pull your strings?
00:55:34You are a disgrace to men everywhere.
00:55:36Jessie, don't even pay attention to him, okay? He's just jealous that I have you.
00:55:41Aww.
00:55:42When our fun launches, I am going to propose to you and you will be known as the wife of TB's presidents.
00:55:48Unconditional proposal?
00:55:51What are you doing, Jackson?
00:55:53Jessica, I'd propose to you even if Charles Securities crashed and burned.
00:55:57Are we good? Can you forgive me for this morning?
00:56:01No.
00:56:03I will not accept your apology or your proposal. Ever.
00:56:10But why?
00:56:11Because your apology and proposal are equally half-assed.
00:56:13I'm declining. Is that not clear enough for you?
00:56:17Jessica, you need to tell me what happened.
00:56:19I can fix this. I can...
00:56:21Look, I'll tell you what I...
00:56:23I can tell you what you did wrong.
00:56:25She doesn't like you. She's after your cash.
00:56:28Once you're broke, she'll just find a new, fresh wallet to drain.
00:56:31Wait, for real?
00:56:34Yeah, for real.
00:56:35She's been playing this game at TB. She would literally...
00:56:38Perfect!
00:56:39Jessica, I'm gonna hustle so hard you'll never drain my bank account.
00:56:43I'll just keep the cash flowing.
00:56:45What the fuck is going on?
00:56:46Cause she's my everything.
00:56:48That's enough. Your slander stops now.
00:56:51You can discuss the rest with my attorneys.
00:56:54Jessie, relax, alright? You're just telling it like it is.
00:56:57She can sue all she wants.
00:56:59Alright, no judge is gonna believe her bullshit.
00:57:01Save your breath.
00:57:03Once our funds go head-to-head on launch day,
00:57:06the market will speak for itself.
00:57:10The market will speak for itself.
00:57:13Let's go.
00:57:14You got it.
00:57:16She'll be taking everything she tried on.
00:57:18Oh, and everything she didn't try on.
00:57:21Send to her house, please.
00:57:22Absolutely, sir. Please come back with your wife and shop with us again soon.
00:57:27She's trying to rub it in my face.
00:57:30Jackson, you can't let her win.
00:57:32Alright, pick anything you want, alright? Anything in the store, it's on me.
00:57:37I apologize, we don't have any dresses.
00:57:40The owner just purchased all of them with his wife.
00:57:44May I suggest another boutique?
00:57:46Suggest another boutique?
00:57:47No, this is a prestigious brand. Is this how you treat your potential customers?
00:57:51Do you have any idea who I am?
00:57:53Yeah, do you have any idea who he is?
00:57:54You know what, go get your manager.
00:57:55Yeah, why don't you go get your manager up?
00:57:56No!
00:57:57Yeah!
00:57:58You just met the owner, Mr. Plony.
00:58:00Oh, what'd you say?
00:58:02She's so pretty.
00:58:12Oh!
00:58:13My fault entirely.
00:58:14Sorry.
00:58:15Is the enhanced model ready? Can it handle our fund operations?
00:58:20Rock solid.
00:58:21Cool.
00:58:26Any progress, boss?
00:58:27No, she's still pissed at me.
00:58:29What do I do, John?
00:58:32Here's the secret.
00:58:33When a woman's mad at you, right or wrong, apologize first, ask questions later.
00:58:37But it has to be sincere, you understand?
00:58:39Right.
00:58:40Got it.
00:58:42Jessica, look, I'm sorry. I screwed up. Can you find it in your heart to forgive me?
00:59:01Really?
00:59:02Then explain exactly what you did wrong.
00:59:04Uh...
00:59:05This is that question at least 90% of men can never answer correctly.
00:59:10Boss' happiness is in my hands now. Gotta save him.
00:59:14How can someone so rich be so stupid?
00:59:29What the hell?
00:59:30William, what is wrong with you?
00:59:50Are you okay?
00:59:51Don't touch me.
00:59:52Jessica, I didn't mean to do that. I didn't. Look, I'm sorry.
00:59:57Sorry. I love you. Marry me. So quick with the words.
01:00:03I wonder how many women have heard his practice lines.
01:00:06Same old William, the eternal womanizer.
01:00:09I don't want to hear your apology. Just go. I have work to do.
01:00:14Come on, Jessica.
01:00:18If you're not gonna go, then I'm gonna go.
01:00:19Wait, just... just wait.
01:00:22Oh, screw it. I'm all in.
01:00:27Jessica, I'm in love with you. Okay? I'm in love with you.
01:00:36Look, I figured out why you were upset.
01:00:38It's for what I said when I was drunk last night and the impulsive proposal this morning, isn't it?
01:00:43I knew it. Look, I didn't acknowledge it this morning because I thought I dreamt it.
01:00:51And that marriage proposal? It wasn't impulsive. It was genuine.
01:00:56I've loved you for eight years, Jessica.
01:01:00I didn't get to confess to you at graduation because my mother was sick.
01:01:04After that, I looked for you everywhere, but you just disappeared.
01:01:10After graduation, my parents split up. My mom and I moved to Los Angeles together.
01:01:16It's okay. You just have to know how ecstatic I was when I heard you returned.
01:01:21And I have to confess, if TB never fired you, I would have bought the whole company.
01:01:27Why?
01:01:28Because I needed to be around you. I need you to know that that marriage proposal, it wasn't impulsive.
01:01:35I want to marry you because I'm truly, truly in love with you. Okay, Jessica?
01:01:42The truth is, William, I've been in love with you, too, for the last eight years.
01:01:53Wait, really?
01:02:03I love you, Jessica. I love you.
01:02:13So beautiful.
01:02:14Now we don't have to worry about losing our funding, right?
01:02:18Wait, what?
01:02:19Next up, payback time for you. Come on!
01:02:23Excuse me.
01:02:29So beautiful.
01:02:36Okay.
01:02:38Yeah.
01:02:52Look.
01:02:54I'm new to this movie.
01:02:56But everyone says you're a notorious woman, I say.
01:02:59It's all gossip.
01:03:02I've been waiting for you all this time.
01:03:04I like that answer.
01:03:35You fraud.
01:03:37You said this was your first time.
01:03:39Because I've dreamt of this moment a million times.
01:03:49Calm down.
01:03:51Jux is already wrapped around your finger.
01:03:53Once you're Mrs. CEO, the whole company will belong to you.
01:03:58Come on, Jessie.
01:03:59Smile.
01:04:00I've arranged a little something special for tonight.
01:04:03Come on in, boys.
01:04:09Oh, my goodness.
01:04:10One of them's their audience.
01:04:13Well, bottoms up, handsome.
01:04:15One second.
01:04:27I gotta use the restroom.
01:04:28Oh, God.
01:04:34Those are Jessie's team members.
01:04:35What the hell are they doing here now?
01:04:38Hey, question.
01:04:39Those ladies, do they hang out here alike?
01:04:41What?
01:04:42No, no.
01:04:43Oh, my God.
01:04:44This guy's been a little swamp everywhere.
01:04:46Get out of here, you creep.
01:04:48I said no.
01:04:49God.
01:04:50No, Jackson.
01:04:51No, this is not what you think.
01:04:53Everyone's just been really killing themselves trying to launch this fund.
01:04:56So, I thought maybe we could bring him out and, you know, blow off some steam.
01:05:00I mean, you want everyone to be top tier when managing the time moving forward, don't you?
01:05:13Fine.
01:05:14Alright, put it on my tab.
01:05:16Have fun.
01:05:17You're the best.
01:05:25Yeah, it looks great.
01:05:26The numbers are better than ever.
01:05:28Look at you, boss.
01:05:31Disappear for one night and come back with a promotion.
01:05:33Damn straight.
01:05:34Look at that.
01:05:35It's our boss dating the actual boss.
01:05:39Exactly.
01:05:40That's me.
01:05:43Okay, hotshot standing down.
01:05:46Evan, progress report on the upgraded model?
01:05:49I just finished.
01:05:50I ran the numbers and this thing is a gold mine.
01:05:52You gotta try and lose money.
01:05:55There's just one thing.
01:05:57Spit it out.
01:05:59We could launch our fund the same day as TB Securities.
01:06:02Yeah, but isn't that perfect?
01:06:03I mean, our whole mission is to beat TB, right?
01:06:06Well, the thing is, my mismanaging of trial securities kind of wrecked its reputation.
01:06:12No one wants to buy into the fund.
01:06:14Evan's right.
01:06:15Amazing product.
01:06:17Horrible brand.
01:06:19How do we fix this?
01:06:20The Gala's tonight.
01:06:21It's our last chance.
01:06:23TB Securities will also be there.
01:06:26Guys, don't even stress about it.
01:06:28You got me.
01:06:29Alright?
01:06:30With me around, Charles Securities will have all the major clients lined up.
01:06:34Duh.
01:06:35My boss is the biggest whale on the ocean.
01:06:37He deserves a promotion.
01:06:40He deserves a promotion.
01:06:42Don't worry.
01:06:43Tonight I'm going to rebrand Charles Securities once and for all.
01:06:46Thanks and for all.
01:06:47Well, well,
01:07:17look who it is.
01:07:18The Clooney Group's wannabe Playboy
01:07:20and that loser that I fired from TB.
01:07:22What could you possibly be doing here?
01:07:24Front row seats to your humiliation, actually.
01:07:27In your dreams.
01:07:28No one here is buying your fund when TB is an option.
01:07:30You think these people want to sign up to lose money?
01:07:34Right, who turns down money?
01:07:36But wait, do people buy your fund to lose cash?
01:07:40Scared?
01:07:41Not us.
01:07:42What a pretty dress, Jessica.
01:07:46Unfortunately, being pretty won't help you.
01:07:49This industry respects results.
01:07:52I couldn't agree more.
01:07:53Jessica looks amazing in this dress.
01:07:56Did you hear me?
01:07:57I said results.
01:07:59Empty.
01:08:0190% of the people in this room are already partnered with TB.
01:08:04Everyone is putting their trust in us, isn't that right?
01:08:07Now, ladies and gentlemen, I'd like to take this moment to introduce this lovely woman right
01:08:16beside me.
01:08:17Jessie.
01:08:19Not only is she TB's star trader, but she is the one and only legendary Securities Queen herself.
01:08:29Miss J.
01:08:30What?
01:08:31She's Miss J?
01:08:32The one who shattered industry return records in record time?
01:08:37Absolutely.
01:08:38TB's upcoming fund is powered by Jessie's proprietary quant trading model.
01:08:43Ladies and gentlemen, I want you to ask yourself, what are you going to do with your newfound wealth?
01:08:48Because we are going to be very, very rich.
01:08:51Jackson, is there still time for me to raise my faith?
01:08:54That's your body, darling.
01:08:55Is something fun?
01:08:56I'm laughing because you're an idiot.
01:09:01And you, you are worse.
01:09:05Stealing my identity and taking credit for my work?
01:09:08You know what happens when that model crashes?
01:09:11TB Securities goes bankrupt overnight.
01:09:13What are you talking about?
01:09:15Jessie's model is bulletproof.
01:09:16Jackson, I know that model's flaws better than anyone.
01:09:20Because I created it.
01:09:22What?
01:09:23Liar!
01:09:28You're just a whore who sleeps with clueless executives.
01:09:31Who are you to talk?
01:09:33Jackson, they're our rivals.
01:09:35Are you really going to believe her over me?
01:09:37If you claim that you really built TB's latest trading model,
01:09:41what is your proof?
01:09:42I don't have any.
01:09:43Your choice whether to believe me or not.
01:09:46It's enough eye contact with the enemy, don't you think?
01:09:48You're right.
01:09:50Let's go.
01:09:51You got it.
01:09:52Bitch!
01:09:53He's not that strong, I was already off balance.
01:09:58Do you see how fast she ran?
01:10:00Guilty conscience.
01:10:02She's obviously just trying to tear us apart, okay?
01:10:04Don't let that happen.
01:10:05Relax.
01:10:06Okay.
01:10:07Gentlemen, I can guarantee that the Charles Fund is a gold mine waiting to happen.
01:10:18Why not take a chance on it?
01:10:19Mr. Clooney, it isn't that we don't trust you.
01:10:21100%.
01:10:22You've got our confidence.
01:10:23That's right.
01:10:24It's just, we've already committed to the TB fund.
01:10:27Oh, so you're all in with them already.
01:10:29Look, Jessica's model makes TB's look like a child's toy.
01:10:34Simple as that.
01:10:35Charles security is your best bet here.
01:10:38Maybe sleep on it before you commit elsewhere, huh?
01:10:40Do we really want to snuck the head of Clooney's group?
01:10:43That's dangerous territory.
01:10:45Yeah, you might be right.
01:10:47Mr. Clooney, why don't we just take some steps forward and we'll-
01:10:50Come on, William.
01:10:51Using your family name to intimidate our clients into purchasing your worthless fund?
01:11:01Mr. Padilla, please, don't believe William's con.
01:11:05Charles Securities is merely a dating service for him.
01:11:07It's not a real business.
01:11:09Okay, invest your money there and you might as well kiss it goodbye.
01:11:13Jackson, it's okay.
01:11:14We trust Mr. Clooney.
01:11:16See that-
01:11:20You fool.
01:11:21They're not betting on Charles, they're betting on Clooney Financial Group.
01:11:24If that's your dad's company, you'd be invisible in this room.
01:11:27And?
01:11:28Right now I'm here as the head of Charles Securities.
01:11:31Gentlemen, our fund speaks for itself.
01:11:34Just check out these numbers.
01:11:35Now look, Charles Securities may be small, but our results have multiplied exponentially.
01:11:41The results don't lie.
01:11:43Wow, if these figures are accurate, the ROI alone is higher than TB's.
01:11:47Every number is verified.
01:11:49I can personally guarantee that as head of Clooney Financial Group.
01:11:53You know, William, that is a really cute little portfolio you have there.
01:11:57Good job.
01:11:58But it's no match for TB's fault.
01:12:00Remember, folks, William has Clooney Group's billions to catch him if he falls.
01:12:07At TB, we are investing our own cash.
01:12:10We are right there with you.
01:12:12If you fail, we fail too.
01:12:15Remember that.
01:12:17Jackson makes a good point.
01:12:19If Charles fund tanks, they've got Clooney Financial as a fallback.
01:12:23For us, one bad investment could risk everything we own.
01:12:27What if I told you that Clooney Financial Group is all in?
01:12:36Are you serious right now?
01:12:37What are you talking about?
01:12:38Jessica, I'm not overstepping you.
01:12:40Am I?
01:12:41Not at all.
01:12:42In fact, congratulations.
01:12:44You're about to become the wealthiest man in the nation.
01:12:47Okay, enough with this performance to con people into buying your worthless fund.
01:12:51Right?
01:12:52Everyone knows that Charles Securities is the laughing stock of the finance industry.
01:12:56Stop with this act.
01:12:59Nobody's buying it.
01:13:00Jackson, if all you care about is statistics and numbers and results, then how about we
01:13:06make a bet on fund performance launch day?
01:13:08Same stakes as before.
01:13:10If Charles Securities loses, my shares are yours.
01:13:14But if TB loses, what's yours is mine.
01:13:19I've locked in 90% of the investors here.
01:13:22Charles has nobody.
01:13:23This bet is mine.
01:13:25What do you say?
01:13:27Brave enough?
01:13:28I'm game.
01:13:30But I hope you hold up your end of the bargain when you lose.
01:13:33I was actually about to say the same thing.
01:13:35How about you say we sign on it right now?
01:13:38I couldn't agree more.
01:13:45Jessica, are you really going to let your boyfriend sign?
01:13:49Once Charles fun tanks, he'll be broke.
01:13:51As long as I'm here, Charles won't lose.
01:13:54And neither will William.
01:13:55Holy shit.
01:13:56He actually signed.
01:13:57Well, even you just signed your own death warrant.
01:13:58As soon as our fun goes public, he'll be broke.
01:13:59As soon as our fun goes public, he'll be broke.
01:14:00As soon as our fun goes public, he'll be broke.
01:14:01All right, let's go.
01:14:02Now, have we got it.
01:14:04Let's go.
01:14:05What?
01:14:06What?
01:14:07What?

01:20:00pretty sweet huh
01:20:02but jessica i can't figure it out
01:20:10how exactly did you predict that tb's fund would crash in just 30 minutes
01:20:15from day one i knew tb's model couldn't handle real market turbulence
01:20:18and then jesse jacked up the leverage to get those pretty quarterly numbers
01:20:22and that made it a house of cards
01:20:23one tap and boom
01:20:25what tap are you talking about the federal reserve rate increase
01:20:29exactly
01:20:30tb imploded so fast because the fed's rate hike announcement triggered massive capital flight
01:20:35and market tremors
01:20:36half an hour was actually longer than expected
01:20:39jessica you called the fed's exact move just by reading the market signals that is
01:20:50well that's next level genius

01:21:27this is jessica's model
01:21:29not yours
01:21:30exactly
01:21:31and before that she made us pump up the leverage
01:21:33to try and make the quarterly numbers look good
01:21:35this has nothing to do with us
01:21:37tell me they're lying
