Transcript

00:00:00Hey boss, we locked in the SkyEdge tech acquisition for $1.3 billion. Just need your signature to close it.

00:00:06Boss.

00:00:08Boss!

00:00:08What?

00:00:09Don't tell me you're looking at pictures of your crush Jessica again.

00:00:12What crush? You're looking at the future Mrs. Clooney.

00:00:15We've been hunting for her for eight years with no luck. What if she's married already?

00:00:19Well yeah, she's incredible. Of course others would see that too.

00:00:23Not happening.

00:00:28Where are you going?

00:00:29To the racetrack.

00:00:31Boss!

00:00:33To the racetrack.

00:00:45You win!

00:00:46Yes!

00:00:51Boss!

00:00:52The trading system is down!

00:00:57What?

00:00:57The trading system is down! We need you!

00:01:06The system is still placing counter-trend orders. The more the market rises, the faster we're selling!

00:01:11All my stop losses are firing like crazy!

00:01:14We're down 100 million already.

00:01:15The computer thinks this is normal! I 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!

00:01:22Don't panic! The boss is here!

00:01:31Stop staring and get out of the chair!

00:01:32Go!

00:01:33Go!

00:01:45My stop and I'll never judge you.

00:01:45It's not too cold.

00:01:46Stop!

00:01:53Okay.

00:01:54Today's rate cut didn't make it into our baseline indicators.

00:01:55indicators so the model thinks up is down and down is up so naturally it's doing exactly the

00:02:01opposite of what it should. Boss, even you can't solve it? Sorry, food coma's hitting hard.

00:02:16Mind grabbing me a coat? Who does she think she's fooling? What does a woman possibly know about

00:02:22all this? If she fixes it, I'll quit immediately. You're going to eat those words faster than

00:02:26Jessica's eating those chips. Here you go, boss.

00:02:44Relax, people. I just got to reset one more parameter and we're golden. Go home and get

00:02:49some sleep. And with that, we're gone. Thank you, boss. You truly are the MVP. All right,

00:02:57let's go, folks. Come on, let her work. Let's go.

00:03:19Nailed it.

00:03:41The model's fixed? The company account.

00:03:43Haas is insane. Fixed the glitch, saved our butts, and made a killing one night. Time to update that

00:03:49resume, Tom? Or was all that big talk just hot air?

00:03:51Mark, who is our boss? Really? Clueless as usual, Tom. Jessica wrote our quant trading model from

00:03:57scratch. Our algorithm is the reason why TV security is a titan. What on earth are we doing during work

00:04:03hours? And you are? Meet the chairman's son, your new CEO. Of course, his talents have the board's

00:04:12complete endorsement. And last time I checked, these are crime trading hours, aren't they?

00:04:17Well, it's actually funny you mentioned that. You are fired.

00:04:20What?

00:04:22Here at TV, we do not tolerate mediocrity.

00:04:26Here at TV, we do not tolerate mediocrity. Only the best work here.

00:04:31We made it here on pure talent. You want to talk about mediocrity? Let's discuss that trust fund that

00:04:37bought your position.

00:04:40Did you just hit her? What the hell's wrong with you?

00:04:43I'm not going to waste my time talking to garbage.

00:04:48Here is your hush money. Take it and get out. You know what? Here's a little extra. Use it to buy

00:04:57yourself some makeup and cover up that bruise. No, I'm always going to see that.

00:05:00Yeah. Drop it. Just go handle this much as fuck. I'm bored paying insane money for her

00:05:05brain. Jackson will have the guts to touch her. Listen up, everybody. The market is a savage

00:05:11wilderness. It is a dog-eat-dog world. It is eat or be eaten. You need to be apex predators,

00:05:18not little fluffy performance-faking rabbits. Those will be eaten. But the real athletes,

00:05:25the real rainmakers among you will be rewarded accordingly.

00:05:34Top of the leaderboard is...

00:05:36Caitlin, where's my superstar?

00:05:39That would be me. Caitlin. Is this Kayla Twist? Are you a Kayla Twist fan? You know, she has a concert

00:05:48tonight. Would you want to go? God, yes. This is perfect. It's perfect. Go now before you're late.

00:05:53And as soon as the concert's over, clean out your desk because you're fine.

00:05:57What? Why?

00:05:58The Nikkei opens during concert hour. You know, I figured a traitor wouldn't put Kayla Twist above

00:06:03making trades. Those numbers must be fake. Who's your boss? I need to meet the clown that runs the circus.

00:06:09It's Jessica. She's here.

00:06:24You are fired.

00:06:27Move your damn foot and explain what rock you crawled out from under. Who I am doesn't matter.

00:06:32All that matters is that you are fired. Are you certain about firing me? You think you're some

00:06:37unicorn employee that this place will crash and burn about your precious brain? You wouldn't say that

00:06:40exactly. Jessica hasn't slept because she was busy saving us nine figures because of a bug. Yeah,

00:06:44and we even made a profit. You expect me to believe that? Her name wasn't even on those reports. So take your

00:06:49headphones and beat it. Can't trash ruin my shoes. And two defenders. Finance takes timing and judgment

00:06:59and sticking up for her shows that you have neither. So pack your crap and follow her out the door.

00:07:04Leave them alone. They have nothing to do with this. I'll go.

00:07:07I'll go. What? Is office drama more important than making money now?

00:07:16Thank you. Susan!

00:07:19Boss, she's high up in trading. Firing her out of nowhere might be problematic.

00:07:32Susan, Susan, Susan. Look around. Finance is a men's game. Okay, as far as I'm concerned,

00:07:38she was just sitting there warming a chair and cashing paychecks. All right, I did us a favor.

00:07:42We should have squashed that bug a while ago.

00:07:48Dad, how's it going? I forgot to mention to you there's this one woman exec you absolutely cannot

00:07:56mess with. Woman executive? How many women executives do we have Susan? Just two women in executive roles.

00:08:06Uh, these are my clients. She's a talent that board paid top dollar for. A quant model. She

00:08:12built it from scratch. And keeping her is non-negotiable. Our marketing dominance depends on it.

00:08:18Jesse, Harvard PhD, start trader. Dad, are you talking about Jesse?

00:08:25Jesse. I didn't fire Jesse, did I? Actually, Jessica. She's our golden goose. Now you need to...

00:08:30Dad, you just focus on getting better. I'll make sure she stays, all right?

00:08:36Susan, tell Jesse to come to my office. All right, all right.

00:08:46Pete, honey, remember our pillow talk? Trading director, one-upping Jessica.

00:08:54It's time you pay up, lover boy. Babe, it already took a lot of effort to get you in with those fake

00:09:00credentials. I know, but couldn't you be a doll and work your magic for me?

00:09:07We've got a new CEO. Let's lay low for a while. Keep your nose clean, will ya?

00:09:17Of course. All right.

00:09:18Pathetic. Time to upgrade my meal ticket.

00:09:29Come in.

00:09:31Jesse. Emergency. New boss just asked Jessica.

00:09:35What? Wait, he fired Jessica? God, is he suicidal or just stupid?

00:09:39He wants you to go see him now. Am I up next on the chopping block?

00:09:55You needed something, Jackson? Jesse, you're right. Damn, looking good.

00:09:59Thanks. Word is, our quant trading model is crushing market averages.

00:10:04I don't say this often, but I am impressed.

00:10:06Wait, that's Jessica's work. How does he not know this?

00:10:10Absolutely. Jackson, I actually pulled multiple all-nighters designing that solo.

00:10:17You see, I have pure talent, unlike some people who climb the corporate ladder using connections.

00:10:28You're referring to Jessica, right? I already fired that corporate parasite.

00:10:32I need your model, because our fund is launching, and I need it to deliver and maximize company problems.

00:10:37Don't worry, Jackson. With Jessica out of the way, I'll get that updated model to you in no time.

00:10:41That's what I like to hear. All right, get going, clock's ticking.

00:10:44I'm on it.

00:10:47That Jesse's everything Frank promised, sir. Smart and easy on the eyes.

00:10:51Hardly remarkable. Once I hire Miss J, I won't need her anymore.

00:10:55Miss J? Miss J is a trading prodigy I met online.

00:10:57She's the unrivaled queen of the securities trading market.

00:11:00So that's why Jesse doesn't measure up. You've already got someone else in mind.

00:11:04Always two steps ahead, Susan.

00:11:08Susan, do you see an issue here? Coffee. Always. Right here. Unbelievable.

00:11:15Miss J, you're the only woman who deserves to be my equal. Join TV and I'll hand you the entire company.

00:11:20Boss, we have an emergency. Your wife's in serious trouble.

00:11:29Are you crazy? I haven't even confessed to Jessica yet.

00:11:46Ah, don't go around calling her that. You told me to call her that. Eight years of this secret crush,

00:11:51still no action. Look, nothing bad can happen to her when I'm... Wait, hold on. You found Jessica?

00:11:55We got her. She's running trading at TV Securities. Well, she was until the new CEO stepped in and fired her.

00:12:00Fired? She's brilliant. How could she get fired? Something's off here. Let's go get her.

00:12:06This is the perfect opportunity for you to step in, be the hero, confess your feelings.

00:12:09You idiot.

00:12:11This office is all mine now.

00:12:30Wow. Ugh. Broke much? Disgusting.

00:12:41Jessica's Jackson's drinker, Mrs. J?

00:12:46Jackson fired Jessica. And no one knows who she really is. I can take advantage of this.

00:12:58Jesse, what do you think you're doing?

00:13:03What do you think you're doing, Jesse?

00:13:05Nothing. I'm just trying to deal with. Move.

00:13:07Do you know what you just did? Your reckless typing just cost the company 200 grand.

00:13:13What? No, wait. I didn't touch anything. Don't try to pin this on me, Jessica.

00:13:18Good luck explaining that to the board.

00:13:19What? You wouldn't dare.

00:13:23I guess we'll just have to see what happens.

00:13:24Just stop.

00:13:25Hey! I said wait! I...

00:13:33Jessica! What the hell is going on?

00:13:35Jackson, Jessica messed with a model revenge against you and when I tried to stop her she slapped me.

00:13:39That's a lie. You were obviously the one who-

00:13:41I was, but it was me. I'm so sorry. I tried to catch her in time but I was too late and

00:13:47she cost the company 200 grand in less than 60 seconds. I'm so sorry.

00:13:53Let them investigate. The error came from your terminal, Jessica. You can't escape this one.

00:13:57Okay, it's... it's not your fault. It's her fault.

00:14:01How is the world so full of complete idiots?

00:14:05How are you calling an idiot?

00:14:06Think you're leaving? Security!

00:14:10What is the meaning of this?

00:14:11Jessica, you've assaulted one of my employees and tanked company assets.

00:14:17Did you really think that you were just gonna waltz on out the door?

00:14:19So what now? You're planning on having me arrested?

00:14:22That's exactly what I'll do. You'll have to pay back that $200,000 and you'll serve jail time.

00:14:28Jackson, I'm wondering something. How did someone with your limited cognitive abilities become TV CEO?

00:14:34You pathetic waste of space! How dare you question Jackson's leadership?

00:14:40Did you just slap me?

00:14:41You attacked me first. I was just defending myself.

00:14:44Jackson!

00:14:46Restrainer!

00:14:48What do you think you're doing?

00:14:49Anyone who assaults my staff will face consequences.

00:14:52You better get down on your hands and knees and beg me for forgiveness.

00:14:57And I might just let it slide.

00:14:59In your dreams.

00:15:03You ungrateful bitch!

00:15:05Whoa!

00:15:11What is with all the office drama? You having a party without me?

00:15:23It's the future wife of the Clooney Financial Group's president.

00:15:25What is with all the office drama? You having a party without me?

00:15:37Well look who it is, the legendary playboy himself, William, head of the Clooney Financial Group.

00:15:43For the record, I'm a one-woman man.

00:15:45William, what are you even doing here?

00:15:46Last time I checked, Clooney Financial wasn't even in the securities game.

00:15:48You're absolutely right, Jackson. I wasn't until about an hour ago.

00:15:52What was it called again?

00:15:53Charles Securities.

00:15:54Right. Jessica, word on the street is some idiot just fired you.

00:16:00How about joining my team?

00:16:02Have we met before?

00:16:04He actually looks at your picture every day, so he's pretty familiar with me.

00:16:07What he's trying to say is, I've reviewed your professional headshots while studying your

00:16:22exceptional training record. With your talents, our company would dominate the market.

00:16:26Dominate the market? For a company you bought an hour ago?

00:16:29William, I think your playboy lifestyle has finally fried your brain.

00:16:32This moron who lost my company 200 grand in five minutes is your genius trader?

00:16:38Maybe you should get your eyes checked instead, Jackson.

00:16:41You know nothing. Miss J, who I happen to know personally, is the top female trader in existence.

00:16:48Miss J? That's my exact online alias.

00:16:53Jackson, it was me emailing you all along.

00:16:57Jesse, you're Miss J?

00:16:57How could I not realize that? I mean, with your absolutely brilliant talent and stunning looks...

00:17:07Um, we're still here. You two can go get a room or, you know, me and Jessica can just get on out of here.

00:17:14Look, William.

00:17:15I don't care if you throw money at women for fun, but Jessica is TB property and we will handle her as we see fits.

00:17:21That's right, Mr. Clooney. And don't be fooled by Jessica here. She likes to sleep her way to the top.

00:17:28Not to mention that she lost 200,000 of our company's money in less than, what, five minutes?

00:17:33Jesse, you know exactly who lost that 200 grand.

00:17:37And Jackson, does the board know you fired me?

00:17:41Are you prepared to take responsibility for the losses that will follow?

00:17:46Now why on earth would I need board approval to fire you?

00:17:49Do you think you created that model that TB is going to crash and burn without you here?

00:17:52Congratulations, you just answered your own question.

00:17:55What nonsense are you spewing now?

00:17:56Jesse created that model.

00:17:57TB's market dominance is all thanks to her.

00:18:01Jesse is-

00:18:02Jackson!

00:18:03TB needs your leadership to succeed.

00:18:06And, you know, some people are just dead weight and we should cut our losses.

00:18:10Exactly.

00:18:11Jessica, you will pay back every dime of that 200,000 dollars.

00:18:18Jessica, you will pay back every dime of that 200,000 dollars.

00:18:23There's your money, Jackson.

00:18:31Jessica, it's time to go.

00:18:32Hold on.

00:18:36Jackson, fine.

00:18:38Fire me.

00:18:38But I didn't cause that 200,000 dollar loss, so I'm not paying a dime.

00:18:42What about those promised dividends?

00:18:43Jessica, you will never see one cent of those bonuses.

00:18:48All right then, I'll recover it from the market myself.

00:18:52The job offer is still on the table.

00:18:55Okay, then I will make sure this check is money well spent.

00:18:59What was the name of your company again?

00:19:01Charles Securities.

00:19:04Mark my words, Jackson, Jesse.

00:19:06Charles will crush TB and claim the top spot in no time.

00:19:09Oh, you're so scared.

00:19:18You threw 200k at me just to buy me a whiskey?

00:19:28Well, an old classmate's pretty night.

00:19:31Isn't catching up the first order of business?

00:19:39This photo.

00:19:40Don't remember, huh?

00:19:43It's not surprising.

00:19:44You were always first in class.

00:19:46Probably don't remember who came second.

00:19:57I honestly don't recall.

00:20:13So, you do remember me then?

00:20:18So, you do remember me then?

00:20:20Perpetually coming into second place?

00:20:25That's certainly hard to forget, at least in my life.

00:20:28Only victories.

00:20:40TB Securities has seen massive layoffs since its new CEO took charge.

00:20:44With over a third of core staff terminated,

00:20:46industry sources suggest potential internal management.

00:20:50And the potential of a complexion of a complexion of a unique family.

00:20:56Son, please tell me you did not let Jessica go.

00:21:03Ms. Jay, you were everything I imagined and more.

00:21:08Beautiful mind, stunning looks.

00:21:18Hey, Dad.

00:21:23Son, please tell me you did not let Jessica go.

00:21:29Jessica?

00:21:30Dad, no, no, no.

00:21:31I think you have the wrong...

00:21:33Easy, Jesse.

00:21:35Okay, let me just wrap this up.

00:21:37She is critical to our company's survival.

00:21:39You can't let her go.

00:21:41Dad, don't worry.

00:21:41I kept her most crucial talent.

00:21:44With our current partnership, TV is in great hands

00:21:48with a very bright future.

00:21:54Jesse, as you heard,

00:21:56we need to fast-track that model upgrade.

00:21:58What's wrong, Jensen?

00:21:59I'm worried about Jessica and William.

00:22:01Please.

00:22:01One's incompetent, the other one's a playboy.

00:22:04They're beneath my concern.

00:22:06Hey, but the fund's launch is all that really matters.

00:22:10I trust you completely with the fund.

00:22:13All right, after all,

00:22:16Ms. J's fund broke all industry profit records last year in only three months.

00:22:19Jessica was that good?

00:22:21Hey, what's wrong?

00:22:22Hey.

00:22:23Jensen, don't worry.

00:22:24I'll get that upgraded model ASAP

00:22:26just to make sure that the launch is perfect.

00:22:30While the business is done,

00:22:31I say we get back to pleasure.

00:22:32What?

00:22:41Charles Securities is bankrupt?

00:22:43As the previous owner,

00:22:44let me be clear,

00:22:45Charles is not bankrupt,

00:22:46just nearly about to be bankrupt.

00:22:48Is there even a difference?

00:22:50Seriously, you couldn't find a better company to buy?

00:22:53Sir, you were so eager to woo the girl

00:22:55with your last-minute purchase domain.

00:22:56I didn't have time.

00:22:57Shut up.

00:22:58Mom?

00:22:58Jessica, not to worry.

00:23:03Look, if Charles fails, we'll find another firm.

00:23:05Heck, I'd even buy TB if necessary.

00:23:08Buy TB Securities.

00:23:10Oh, you got that kind of money laying around?

00:23:11Of course I do.

00:23:12Don't bother.

00:23:13As long as Charles has proper licensing,

00:23:15I can make it outrank TB and dominate the industry.

00:23:17Don't make me laugh.

00:23:19TB has the most advanced quantitative...

00:23:26...laugh.

00:23:27TB has the most advanced quantitative trading model out there.

00:23:31You can never top that,

00:23:32no matter how good you are.

00:23:34What if she's the genius buying TB's model?

00:23:36What?

00:23:40No, no way.

00:23:42TB is top dog,

00:23:43solely because of their one-of-a-kind trading model.

00:23:46If you designed it,

00:23:48why would they ever let you go?

00:23:49Maybe because their management wouldn't see talent

00:23:51if it hit them in the face.

00:23:53No way.

00:23:54I'm not buying this.

00:23:55TB's management can't be that dumb.

00:23:56No, no, no, no, no.

00:24:02Is this the famous TB model you're so impressed by?

00:24:04How?

00:24:06You just recreated TB's entire trading model in just a minute.

00:24:09Oh, great one.

00:24:12How can I assist you?

00:24:13Coffee, tea, anything?

00:24:14My undying loyalty.

00:24:16Anything.

00:24:19With you on the team,

00:24:20we'll topple TB before they know what hit them.

00:24:22Um, I'm the boss here.

00:24:24However,

00:24:25boss,

00:24:27we have one big issue.

00:24:28We're seriously understaffed.

00:24:30That's no problem.

00:24:32This lists every key player in the industry.

00:24:35Name anyone,

00:24:35and I'll have them hired by tomorrow.

00:24:37No need to waste money on that.

00:24:38Uh, what about our technical team?

00:24:40Well, TB has plenty of staff, right?

00:24:42Recruit from TB?

00:24:43Well, their pay is legendary best in the business.

00:24:45I doubt anyone is going to jump ship.

00:24:53Hey, Mark.

00:24:54It's me.

00:24:56Hi, Jessica.

00:24:57I'm in.

00:24:58I'm handing in my notice right now.

00:24:59Jessica's team is hiring.

00:25:01Want to jump ship with me?

00:25:02Seriously?

00:25:02I'd work for less.

00:25:03It's Jessica frickin' Jenkins.

00:25:05Wait for me.

00:25:05I'm coming, too.

00:25:10Boss, we're screwed.

00:25:11All I see in your analysts and traders

00:25:12just quit simultaneously.

00:25:14Trade floor's a ghost town.

00:25:15What?

00:25:16They quit on what grounds?

00:25:17Or does Jessica parts them all?

00:25:19That's just like her.

00:25:20Playing dirty.

00:25:20You know, she can't beat us fair and square,

00:25:22so she'd probably bribe them with a...

00:25:23Being on William's fortune.

00:25:26The day.

00:25:26Perfect.

00:25:28See, Susan, this is why I hired her.

00:25:45Damn.

00:25:46They're gorgeous.

00:25:48Why are they dressed like that for the office?

00:25:50Finally, you're here.

00:25:55Attention, attention, everyone.

00:25:57I would like to introduce you to our new senior traders, Larry and Aima.

00:26:02And our new data analyst, Amanda.

00:26:04They will be running our new trading operation starting today,

00:26:07so give them a warm welcome and get back to work.

00:26:10Jessie.

00:26:12This is not what you promised at work.

00:26:14Since when are we actually working?

00:26:16Yeah.

00:26:17Weren't we supposed to be hunting for sugar daddies?

00:26:19Don't worry.

00:26:20Jessica's model does everything.

00:26:21I just need you to look charming for the TV executives.

00:26:25Don't forget, we're after the whole company.

00:26:28Jesus.

00:26:29What are you wearing?

00:26:29You look like a disco ball.

00:26:31Go change.

00:26:32God.

00:26:34These are the team members I worked with previously,

00:26:36and this is our boss, William Clooney.

00:26:39And our trading director, Evan something.

00:26:42Charles.

00:26:43Evan Charles.

00:26:44Nice to meet you, sir.

00:26:46Well, now that we're all here,

00:26:47I trust you understand our mission,

00:26:49to outperform TV securities.

00:26:51With you on our helm, Jessica,

00:26:52I know we'll crush it.

00:26:53Wonderful.

00:26:54Everyone take their seats, please.

00:26:57Jessica, we have the team,

00:27:02we have the funds,

00:27:03plus your copied trading model.

00:27:05We can't possibly lose.

00:27:07You mean TB's trading model?

00:27:08Oh, I erased that.

00:27:10What the hell?

00:27:11Why would you do that?

00:27:14Why would you do that?

00:27:15Because there's a catastrophic flaw in their basic model.

00:27:18Their model has no filtering safeguards.

00:27:20In high volatility markets,

00:27:21the position scaling module generates massive profits for TB.

00:27:24But when that volatility contracts,

00:27:26which it will,

00:27:27users face catastrophic losses,

00:27:28TB included.

00:27:30And if it spots the defects,

00:27:31and adds a filtering protocol to the upgraded system,

00:27:33I'm the sole keeper of the core algorithm.

00:27:36They'll never crack it.

00:27:37So once we develop our upgraded version,

00:27:39we can pick them off in the marketplace.

00:27:40That's your dinner?

00:27:48A burger?

00:27:50Really?

00:27:51Yeah.

00:27:52Got a better suggestion?

00:27:54Ooh, I should treat it as something extraordinary.

00:27:57Like Caspian pearl sturgeon caviar.

00:28:00Burgers taste pretty good too, you know?

00:28:01It's delicious.

00:28:07But you need to eat dinner now.

00:28:10Well, back to coding then.

00:28:12Uh-uh-uh.

00:28:13Boss's orders.

00:28:15You're done for tonight.

00:28:16What's the problem?

00:28:28Jesse,

00:28:28we can't figure out this trading model.

00:28:31We've entered transaction amounts and hemorrhaged money.

00:28:34What?

00:28:36What?

00:28:37You idiots!

00:28:38Don't put this on us!

00:28:39We never claim to understand quant trading.

00:28:42Yeah, if this blows up,

00:28:44we are not the ones responsible.

00:28:46What are we talking here?

00:28:49A million bucks?

00:28:52Oh my god, you had me worried.

00:28:54A measy million is nothing to TB.

00:28:56We are talking about a million dollars.

00:29:00Okay, well relax.

00:29:02All right, Jackson, trust me.

00:29:04He's not going to sweat the small stuff, okay?

00:29:07Anyway, I gotta go.

00:29:09I can put dinner date.

00:29:10That's good then.

00:29:11Yeah, isn't it?

00:29:12Clock out, you three.

00:29:13Now!

00:29:14How do you clock out?

00:29:25So this is your idea of fine dining?

00:29:27Was it?

00:29:27Oh, I didn't check the hours.

00:29:29Sorry.

00:29:32Well, William, you've wasted 30 minutes of my time.

00:29:35That's potentially thousands in market opportunities.

00:29:38So I'm going to go.

00:29:39Okay, hold on.

00:29:40Happy birthday, Jessica.

00:29:58Jessica, there's no rush.

00:30:09I rented out the entire place for the evening.

00:30:11It's pre-market trading hours.

00:30:13Every minute here is another minute I'm not making money.

00:30:15Got it?

00:30:15But it's your birthday.

00:30:20William, thank you for thinking about me.

00:30:22But profits are my preferred birthday present.

00:30:23Are you going to eat that?

00:30:28If not, we should really go back to work.

00:30:31Jessica, tonight is for birthday celebrations only.

00:30:35No more work talk.

00:30:36And what's a celebration without a toast?

00:30:49Alcohol wastes time and clouds my judgment.

00:30:53Okay.

00:30:55So what's the largest fund you've ever managed?

00:30:57$10 billion.

00:30:59$10 billion.

00:31:00Okay, I tell you what.

00:31:01Finish that drink, and I'll pump $10 billion more into Charles Securities.

00:31:06What do you say?

00:31:06$10 billion for one glass?

00:31:09Mm-hmm.

00:31:11That is an excellent ROI.

00:31:17William, I want to kiss you.

00:31:25Will one glass do?

00:31:27Or shall I drink $10 more?

00:31:33I apologize, but this is a close-looking...

00:31:35You fool.

00:31:38Do you know who he is?

00:31:42Do you know who he is?

00:31:44I don't care who he is.

00:31:45He's going to apologize today.

00:31:47Great.

00:31:47You two again.

00:31:48Really?

00:31:50Apologize now.

00:31:50Okay, look.

00:31:51She's a waiter.

00:31:52Big deal.

00:31:52She got slapped.

00:31:53Who cares?

00:31:54You know what kid?

00:31:55Name it.

00:31:55No.

00:31:56Save your money.

00:31:57Don't forget, you're a million-dollar VIP.

00:31:59You could slap her in the face twice, and they'd still kiss your feet.

00:32:03Assault is illegal.

00:32:04You don't want to pay?

00:32:06Well, I hope you enjoy prison.

00:32:07Oh, my God.

00:32:08She's obviously just after cash.

00:32:09Just give her, like, ten grand or something.

00:32:12And my mind, Jessica.

00:32:13Turns out, dating the sugar daddy has made you grow a backbone.

00:32:17That's so cute.

00:32:18Jessie, you seem awfully available.

00:32:22How's that trading model coming along?

00:32:23Still piggybacking off my work?

00:32:25Yeah, I don't know what you're even talking about.

00:32:27Jessie, she slumped her way to the top.

00:32:30She's an idiot, okay?

00:32:30Don't even waste your breath.

00:32:31That's ridiculous.

00:32:33I'm the one who wrote her coattails.

00:32:35William, you are beyond saving.

00:32:37But here's a little lesson for you.

00:32:38Women, they'll be the death of you.

00:32:40Don't waste your breath on him.

00:32:43He's beneath you.

00:32:44Maybe you should drop the sexism, Jackson.

00:32:46I mean, you know women aren't inferior to men, right?

00:32:49Plus, Jessica is ten times the person you'll ever be.

00:32:54I see your game, William.

00:32:56Throwing millions around to launch your fund alongside ours,

00:32:58all to help this hack Jessica get her petty revenge.

00:33:01Incorrect.

00:33:02I can burn money because I can afford to.

00:33:05You know what?

00:33:05I'm not wasting my breath on this anymore.

00:33:07TB's victory is guaranteed.

00:33:09Great.

00:33:09So, put your money where your mouth is then, Jackson.

00:33:12If Charles Securities loses on launch day,

00:33:15you get Clooney Financial Group including all my shares.

00:33:18But if TB loses, I take everything you owe.

00:33:23William.

00:33:23Are you insane?

00:33:25Your shares are worth ten times that of TB.

00:33:28All for this woman.

00:33:30I made my choice.

00:33:32Jessica will make sure I win.

00:33:33Did you really have that much faith in her?

00:33:37Absolutely.

00:33:38You see, Jessica was always top of our class.

00:33:41Oh my God, were you a top student?

00:33:43That's so cute.

00:33:45Okay, you need to wake up, Mr. Clooney,

00:33:46because Wall Street is not a classroom.

00:33:49Okay.

00:33:50Enough bullshit then.

00:33:51I have one simple question for you, Jackson.

00:33:53Are you game or not?

00:33:57Are you game or not?

00:34:01If we lose this bet, Jackson loses everything.

00:34:05Stand a chance.

00:34:07Good catch, Jess.

00:34:10Live list this restaurant, will you?

00:34:12With pleasure.

00:34:13Cowards.

00:34:14That's enough for one night.

00:34:16What do you say, more drinks?

00:34:18Sure.

00:34:19One glass, ten billion, you said, right?

00:34:25Jessica can't possibly handle this much alcohol.

00:34:27You're correct.

00:34:29Cheers.

00:34:30Cheers.

00:34:30Bombs up, William.

00:34:50No more.

00:34:51I'm going broke.

00:34:53So, Jessica, do you want to join me for a dance?

00:35:00I really shouldn't.

00:35:02Sorry.

00:35:19It's okay.

00:35:20Okay, let's try this.

00:35:23One, two, three.

00:35:25One, two, three.

00:35:27Two, three.

00:35:27One, two, three.

00:35:32What are you doing?

00:35:48I really want to kiss you right now.

00:35:50If you can't handle your liquor, maybe don't drink so much next time.

00:36:06Come on, let's go.

00:36:07Hey, Jessica.

00:36:08Move.

00:36:13Hey.

00:36:14Where are we going?

00:36:18I'm taking you home.

00:36:22What?

00:36:23Do I have something on my face?

00:36:25Yeah.

00:36:27Or I don't feel anything.

00:36:30Some serious beauty.

00:36:34That smile makes you even more gorgeous.

00:36:36William, do you have feelings for me?

00:36:47Of course I do.

00:37:02Yeah.

00:37:06Let's keep this party going.

00:37:12Waiter, more drinks, please.

00:37:14Nope.

00:37:16You can have drinks later.

00:37:17But first, tell me why you tried to kiss me at the restaurant.

00:37:20I didn't try to kiss anybody.

00:37:23The one I wanted to kiss was Jessica.

00:37:29Focus, William.

00:37:30I am Jessica.

00:37:31Now tell me why you tried to kiss me.

00:37:33Because I'm in love with you.

00:37:38What?

00:37:39Jessica, this confession is eight years overdue.

00:37:46Jessica always ranked first.

00:37:48I wanted to beat her just once before confessing.

00:37:51But what if she turns me down because I'm not as smart as she is?

00:37:54Miss?

00:37:57Ella?

00:37:59What do you mean Mom collapsed?

00:38:02Okay, I'll be right there.

00:38:12Later.

00:38:13When my mother got there, I...

00:38:14Hi.

00:38:15You what? Come on, William. Don't leave me hanging like this. Get up. Get up.

00:38:37Jackson, there's no need to be upset about a bitch like Jessica.

00:38:43How about me cheer up?

00:38:44Look, that loser's not even on my radar.

00:38:46Listen, Jesse, I need you to bring your A game.

00:38:49Okay, when our private equity fund launches, TB's stock is going to soar.

00:38:53Not even the Clooney Financial Group will be able to touch us.

00:38:55Don't worry. I'm already handling the private equity fund.

00:38:59It's practically almost done.

00:39:01Perfect. And one more thing.

00:39:04I'm presenting our earnings to the board tomorrow.

00:39:06There's going to be some whales there.

00:39:08I want to flex our muscles, really show them what we're made of.

00:39:10Is everything all right?

00:39:13Yeah, absolutely.

00:39:20What is Jesse's problem making us work these ungodly hours?

00:39:24Beats me.

00:39:27Larry, crank up the leverage.

00:39:29Are you sure, Jesse?

00:39:31I mean, the higher leverage, the greater return, sure.

00:39:33But the risk is insane.

00:39:35He's right.

00:39:36Market hiccups become earthquakes with high leverage.

00:39:38One bad day could sink the entire firm.

00:39:41Oh, God, I can't worry about this right now, all right?

00:39:44Just make the numbers look sexy.

00:39:47Does that make sense for you guys?

00:39:49All right.

00:39:56Uh, Jessica.

00:39:58Why is she here?

00:39:59Why is she here?

00:40:03Oh.

00:40:05You're out.

00:40:06Jessica.

00:40:08Don't panic.

00:40:10Look, whatever happened, I'll take full responsibility for it.

00:40:15What the hell are you talking about?

00:40:16Wait, she's not freaking out?

00:40:18Play it cool, William.

00:40:20Play it cool.

00:40:21Totally kidding.

00:40:23We're all adults here.

00:40:24No explanation needed.

00:40:25You were kidding.

00:40:27So you didn't mean anything you said last night?

00:40:29Huh?

00:40:30What did I say last night?

00:40:32Wow.

00:40:32Your reputation as a womanizer is well-deserved.

00:40:46Let's get started.

00:40:47For you?

00:40:48Yes, sir.

00:40:50Nick Jackson?

00:40:51Nick Jackson?

00:40:51These numbers are impressive.

00:40:58Nice work, Jackson.

00:41:00And this, this is just the appetizer.

00:41:02When our equity fund launches, our profits are going to go nuclear.

00:41:06The question is, do market sharks like you want in on this frenzy?

00:41:16It's a pretty spreadsheet.

00:41:18But how can you be so damn confident that this fund is going to make money?

00:41:22Simple.

00:41:24I have her.

00:41:25The legendary Miss J herself, the securities queen.

00:41:28Every model backing our fund was created by her.

00:41:32Really?

00:41:33These same Mrs. J that shattered industry reports last year?

00:41:37Very same.

00:41:39Hmm.

00:41:40Well, Jackson, sign me up for a subscription.

00:41:44Sign me up for a pre-lunch, too.

00:41:46All you have to do is sign the dotted line.

00:41:48Listen, Jackson.

00:41:59We are betting our entire net worth.

00:42:02If this tanks, you understand what follows.

00:42:04Relax, Mr. Padilla.

00:42:06TV doesn't know how to lose.

00:42:12Alright, boss, we're here.

00:42:13Wait, what exactly was Jessica so angry about this morning?

00:42:16Boss' happiness is in my hands now.

00:42:19I've got to save him.

00:42:24Boss, I know a specialist if you want to get that checked out.

00:42:28Why the hell do you carry around ED doctor cards?

00:42:32Hold on.

00:42:34Why would I need this kind of doctor?

00:42:36I need you to come around, boss.

00:42:38Hmm.

00:42:38What if I was sick?

00:42:40Would that make Jessica stop being mad at me?

00:42:46Boss, boss.

00:43:00We are screwed, okay?

00:43:02TB's pretty numbers have all the big fish to pre-subscribe to their funds.

00:43:05Their capital pool is massive.

00:43:07We're toast.

00:43:07Take a breath.

00:43:09How can I not panic?

00:43:11This is kind of on you, boss.

00:43:13You designed this brilliant trading model that will let TB profit even when the market

00:43:17is going crazy.

00:43:21What?

00:43:22I'm right.

00:43:23You said the model had fatal flaws, but it looks pretty perfect to me.

00:43:26That's exactly my point.

00:43:28TB showing profits during volatility can only mean one thing.

00:43:32Jesse jacked up their leverage.

00:43:35But what?

00:43:36That's incredibly risky.

00:43:39One market reversal and TB's finished.

00:43:42Wait a minute.

00:43:43TB's clients are basically Wall Street royalty with half the market funds.

00:43:47If TB torches their money...

00:43:50Oh, man.

00:43:51They're doomed.

00:43:53Still worried.

00:43:54Hell no.

00:43:55Our model is the best out there.

00:43:57And with our fund dropping soon, we're going to be making so much money.

00:44:00Yes!

00:44:02Jessica!

00:44:16Jessica!

00:44:16If you're sick, go see a doctor.

00:44:18Call me again while I'm working and I swear I'll...

00:44:21I'll hunt you in the face.

00:44:24Well, looks like Jessica doesn't have feelings for me after all.

00:44:31Boss, chill.

00:44:32Jessica's totally into you.

00:44:33Really?

00:44:34What makes you say that?

00:44:37What makes you say that?

00:44:38Come on, say something already.

00:44:39She's a workaholic.

00:44:41And she dropped everything to have dinner with you.

00:44:43That's...

00:44:43That's not business.

00:44:44That's interest.

00:44:45Yeah, it's because I dangled a billion-dollar deal over a glass of wine.

00:44:48Seriously?

00:44:51Well, she could have just gone back to work, but...

00:44:53She took you home.

00:44:54That's affection, right?

00:44:55Look, I was blackout drunk.

00:44:57She probably just didn't want her cash cow to choke on his own vomit.

00:45:01A woman like her wouldn't spend the whole night with you unless there was feelings.

00:45:04You see what I mean?

00:45:06You know what?

00:45:07You're right.

00:45:09Jessica does have feelings for me.

00:45:11But she's pissed right now.

00:45:13You got any tips?

00:45:14Boss, she's in the financial world.

00:45:16She appreciates...

00:45:18Assets.

00:45:19You gotta show her what you're worth.

00:45:21What I'm worth?

00:45:22Money, boss.

00:45:24You gotta have some big spender energy like your billion-dollar drink.

00:45:27Take her shopping.

00:45:28Women love retail therapy.

00:45:29She'll forgive you as soon as you swipe that platinum card.

00:45:31Please.

00:45:32Jessica's not that superficial, alright?

00:45:34What, it's my only attractive quality?

00:45:36My $100 billion net worth?

00:45:38What about my charming personality and my amazing, dashing good looks?

00:45:44What about that?

00:45:46Wait, John.

00:45:47John, what did I say?

00:45:48Good luck with your boners.

00:45:50Damn.

00:45:50We crushed that meeting, thanks to you.

00:46:10I want to get you a reward, a prize.

00:46:12Anything you want.

00:46:13I don't want anything.

00:46:14I just want to spend the day with you.

00:46:16Maybe we can go shopping.

00:46:18After all my hard work.

00:46:19Time to make you pay up.

00:46:20Anything you want.

00:46:22It is your day.

00:46:35This is your idea of work-related?

00:46:37That is right.

00:46:38See, tomorrow at the business gala, there's a very strict dress code.

00:46:43Do you have anything appropriate at home?

00:46:45Nope.

00:46:45That's what I'd hoped you'd say.

00:46:48I mean, well, if you don't have anything, then we have to go shopping, right?

00:46:52Purely work-related.

00:46:53So, shall we?

00:46:56Sure.

00:46:56Mr. Clooney, welcome.

00:47:07Is this your lovely wife I've heard about?

00:47:09Don't be ridiculous.

00:47:11This is my...

00:47:13employee.

00:47:14Now, go grab your latest collection for her to try.

00:47:17We have everything ready, sir.

00:47:18Right this way, ma'am.

00:47:23Sure.

00:47:26Yes.

00:47:27Yes.

00:47:29Whew.

00:47:47William, don't I look ridiculous in this?

00:47:52That bad, huh?

00:47:53No, no.

00:47:55God, no.

00:47:57Dad, you look absolutely breathtaking in that gown.

00:48:01Sir, you are lucky to have such a gorgeous wife.

00:48:05William, why does she keep calling me your wife?

00:48:09William, why does she keep calling me your wife?

00:48:10Okay, don't freak out, but this is the first time I've ever been shopping with a woman, so

00:48:14she's assuming things.

00:48:16You heard me.

00:48:18I don't want my wife talk.

00:48:19Understood.

00:48:21Right this way, miss.

00:48:22Let's try on that second gown.

00:48:23Whew.

00:48:48Miss, you look absolutely stunning.

00:48:54Obviously.

00:48:57Sir, you might be punching above your weight here.

00:48:59I think I'll take this one.

00:49:02Business tanking and still out shopping.

00:49:05What a worthless idiot.

00:49:06You two again.

00:49:08What a pleasant surprise.

00:49:09Jessica, Charles security is tanking, and yet you have William out shopping for you?

00:49:13What, do you two have like a golden parachute planned?

00:49:16Given the recent market swings, your trading model should be bleeding money.

00:49:21Unless you're using leverage, aren't you?

00:49:25Leverage.

00:49:25That wasn't in our most recent financial statements.

00:49:28Bullshit!

00:49:29We're making money because my model is brilliant.

00:49:32Yeah, right.

00:49:32You either faked your numbers or you buried your leverage in your reports.

00:49:35Those are the only two possibilities.

00:49:40Jessie.

00:49:41What is she talking about?

00:49:42Are TV's financial reports?

00:49:44No.

00:49:45Jessica is just talking garbage, okay?

00:49:47The truth is, I finished.

00:49:51I finished upgrading the new trading model, and it is way more responsive to market fluctuations,

00:49:57and that is why we are more profitable.

00:49:59No way!

00:50:00Jess, you're an absolute genius!

00:50:02Yeah, I know.

00:50:02I stayed up all night to make sure the fun succeeded.

00:50:05See, I like to use my brain to escalate in my career, not my bettering skills.

00:50:10Huh.

00:50:10So you're coming after me now?

00:50:14Okay, fine.

00:50:15I admit, I tried to use my body to impress Jessica, but it didn't work.

00:50:19So stop with the fake news.

00:50:21That's what the boss doesn't feel to do with him, is it?

00:50:23William, you're pathetic.

00:50:25Letting this airhead pull your strings?

00:50:27You are a disgrace to men everywhere.

00:50:29Jessie, don't even pay attention to him, okay?

00:50:31He's just jealous that I have you.

00:50:33When our fun launches, I am going to propose to you, and you will be known as the wife of TB's presidents.

00:50:40Unconditional proposal?

00:50:43Weakable Jackson.

00:50:44Jessica, I propose to you even if trial security's crashed and burnt.

00:50:48Are we good?

00:50:50Can you forgive me for this morning?

00:50:51No.

00:50:54I will not accept your apology or your proposal, ever.

00:50:59But why?

00:51:00Because your apology and proposal are equally half-assed.

00:51:02I'm declining.

00:51:04Is that not clear enough for you?

00:51:06Jessica, you need to tell me what happened.

00:51:08I can fix this.

00:51:09I can...

00:51:10Look, I'll tell you what I...

00:51:11I can tell you what you did wrong.

00:51:13She doesn't like you.

00:51:14She's after your cash.

00:51:16Once you're broke, she'll just find a new, fresh wallet to drain.

00:51:20Wait, for real?

00:51:21Yeah, for real.

00:51:23She's been playing this game at TV.

00:51:25She would literally...

00:51:25Perfect!

00:51:27Jessica, I'm going to hustle so hard, you'll never drain my bank account.

00:51:30I'll just keep the cash flowing.

00:51:32What the fuck is going on?

00:51:33Because she's my everything.

00:51:35That's enough.

00:51:36Your slander stops now.

00:51:37You can discuss the rest with my attorneys.

00:51:39Jessie, relax.

00:51:41You're just telling it like it is.

00:51:42She can sue all she wants.

00:51:44No judge is going to believe her bullshit.

00:51:46Save your breath.

00:51:48Once our funds go head-to-head on launch day,

00:51:51the market will speak for itself.

00:51:54The market will speak for itself.

00:51:57Let's go.

00:51:58You got it.

00:52:00She'll be taking everything she tried on.

00:52:02Oh, and everything she didn't try on.

00:52:04Send to her house, please.

00:52:05Absolutely, sir.

00:52:06Please come back with your wife and shop with us again soon.

00:52:10She's trying to rub it in my face.

00:52:12Jackson, you can't let her win.

00:52:14All right, pick anything you want, all right?

00:52:17Anything in the store, it's on me.

00:52:19I apologize, we don't have any dresses.

00:52:22The owner just purchased all of them with his wife.

00:52:25May I suggest another boutique?

00:52:27Suggest another boutique?

00:52:28No, this is a prestigious brand.

00:52:30Is this how you treat your potential customers?

00:52:31Do you have any idea who I am?

00:52:33Yeah, do you have any idea who he is?

00:52:34You know, go get your manager.

00:52:35Yeah, why don't you go get your manager?

00:52:36No.

00:52:36Yeah!

00:52:37You just met the owner, Mr. Clooney.

00:52:40What did she just say?

00:52:41Did she just say Mr. Clooney?

00:52:49Oh.

00:52:51My fault entirely.

00:52:53Sorry.

00:52:55Is the enhanced model ready?

00:52:57Can it handle our front operations?

00:52:58Rock solid.

00:52:59Cool.

00:52:59Any progress, boss?

00:53:05No, she's still pissed at me.

00:53:07What do I do, John?

00:53:09Here's the secret.

00:53:10When a woman's mad at you, right or wrong, apologize first.

00:53:13Ask questions later.

00:53:14But it has to be sincere.

00:53:15You understand?

00:53:17Right.

00:53:18Got it.

00:53:21Fuck.

00:53:29Jessica, look, I'm sorry.

00:53:32I screwed up.

00:53:33Can you find it in your heart to forgive me?

00:53:35Really?

00:53:36Then explain exactly what you did wrong.

00:53:41This is that question at least 90% of men can never answer correctly.

00:53:45Boss's happiness is in my hands now.

00:53:47Gotta save him.

00:53:47How can someone so rich be so stupid?

00:54:01What the hell?

00:54:01What?

00:54:02William, what is wrong with you?

00:54:20Shit, are you okay?

00:54:20Don't touch me.

00:54:22Jessica, I didn't mean to do that.

00:54:25I didn't.

00:54:26Look, I'm sorry.

00:54:27Sorry.

00:54:27I love you.

00:54:29Marry me.

00:54:30So quick with the words.

00:54:31I wonder how many women have heard his practice lines.

00:54:34Same old William.

00:54:35The eternal womanizer.

00:54:37I don't want to hear your apology.

00:54:39Just go.

00:54:40I've worked to do.

00:54:41Come on, Jessica.

00:54:44If you're not going to go, then I'm going to go.

00:54:46Wait, just...

00:54:47Just wait.

00:54:52Oh, screw it.

00:54:53I'm all in.

00:54:55Jessica, I'm in love with you.

00:55:00Okay?

00:55:00I'm in love with you.

00:55:01Look, I figured out why you were upset.

00:55:03It's for what I said when I was drunk last night and the impulsive proposal this morning,

00:55:07isn't it?

00:55:08I knew it.

00:55:10Look, I didn't acknowledge it this morning because I thought I dreamt it.

00:55:14And that marriage proposal?

00:55:16It wasn't impulsive.

00:55:17It was genuine.

00:55:18I've loved you for eight years, Jessica.

00:55:22I didn't get to confess to you at graduation because my mother was sick.

00:55:26After that, I looked for you everywhere, but you just disappeared.

00:55:31After graduation, my parents split up.

00:55:35My mom and I moved to Los Angeles too.

00:55:37It's okay.

00:55:38It's okay.

00:55:38You just have to know how ecstatic I was when I heard you returned.

00:55:42I have to confess, if TB never fired you, I would have bought the whole company.

00:55:48Why?

00:55:49Because I needed to be around you.

00:55:51I need you to know that that marriage proposal, it wasn't impulsive.

00:55:54I want to marry you because I'm truly, truly in love with you.

00:56:00Okay, Jessica?

00:56:04The truth is, William, I've been in love with you too for the last eight years.

00:56:16Wait, really?

00:56:19I love you, Jessica.

00:56:21I love you.

00:56:24It's so beautiful.

00:56:30Now we don't have to worry about losing our funding.

00:56:32Right.

00:56:34Wait, what?

00:56:35Next up, payback time for you.

00:56:37Come on!

00:56:52Yeah.

00:56:54Look, I'm new to this, okay?

00:57:08But everyone says you're a notorious woman, I said...

00:57:11It's all gossip.

00:57:13I've been waiting for you all this time.

00:57:17I like that answer.

00:57:18You fraud.

00:57:32You said this was your first time.

00:57:47Because I've dreamt of this moment a million times.

00:57:56Calm down.

00:57:58Jackson's already wrapped around your finger.

00:58:00Once you're Mrs. CEO, the whole company will belong to you.

00:58:05Come on, Jessie. Smile.

00:58:07I've arranged a little something special for tonight.

00:58:09Come on in, boys.

00:58:11Oh, my goodness. Someone knows their audience.

00:58:17Well, bottoms up, handsome.

00:58:24Come here.

00:58:29Oh, one second.

00:58:30I gotta use the restroom.

00:58:32Oh, God.

00:58:37Those are Jessie's team members. What the hell are they doing here now?

00:58:41Hey, question.

00:58:43Those ladies, do they hang out here a lot?

00:58:44Well, no, no.

00:58:45Oh, my God.

00:58:46This guy's been fun everywhere.

00:58:48Get out of here, you creep.

00:58:50I said no.

00:58:51God.

00:58:52No, Jackson, no.

00:58:53This is not what you think.

00:58:54Everyone's just been really killing themselves trying to launch this fun.

00:58:57So, I thought maybe we could bring him out and, you know, blow up some steam.

00:59:02I mean, you want everyone to be top tier by managing to find my member orbit, don't you?

00:59:12Fine.

00:59:13All right, put it on my tab.

00:59:15Have fun.

00:59:16You're the best.

00:59:24Yeah, it looks great.

00:59:25The numbers are better than I've heard.

00:59:27Whatever you think you said.

00:59:29Look at you, boss.

00:59:30You disappear for one night and come back with a promotion.

00:59:32Damn straight.

00:59:33Look at that.

00:59:34It's her boss dating the actual boss.

00:59:36Exactly.

00:59:38That's me.

00:59:40Okay, hotshot.

00:59:41Stand down.

00:59:43Evan, progress report on the upgraded model?

00:59:46I just finished.

00:59:47I ran the numbers and this thing is a gold mine.

00:59:49You got to try and lose money.

00:59:51There's just one thing.

00:59:53Spit it out.

00:59:55We could launch your phone the same day as TV Securities.

00:59:58Yeah, but isn't that perfect?

00:59:59I mean, our whole mission is to beat TV, right?

01:00:01Well, the thing is, my mismanaging of Charles Securities kind of wrecked its reputation.

01:00:06No one wants to buy into the fund.

01:00:09Evan's, right?

01:00:10Amazing product.

01:00:11Horrible brand.

01:00:13How do we fix this?

01:00:14The gallows tonight.

01:00:16It's our last chance.

01:00:17TV Securities will also be there.

01:00:20Guys, don't even trust about it.

01:00:21You got me.

01:00:22All right?

01:00:23With me around, Charles Securities will have all the major clients lined up.

01:00:26Duh.

01:00:28My boss is the biggest whale on the ocean.

01:00:29He deserves a promotion.

01:00:33Don't worry.

01:00:34Tonight I'm going to rebrand Charles Securities once and for all.

01:00:59Well, well, well.

01:01:00Look who it is.

01:01:01The Clooney Group's wannabe playboy and that loser that I fired from TB.

01:01:02What could you possibly be doing?

01:01:03Front row seats to your humiliation, actually.

01:01:04In your dreams.

01:01:05No one here is buying your fund when TB is an option.

01:01:06You think these people want to sign up to lose one?

01:01:08Right.

01:01:09Who turns down money?

01:01:10But wait.

01:01:11Do people buy your fund to lose cash?

01:01:12Scared?

01:01:13Not us.

01:01:14What a pretty dress, Jessica.

01:01:15Unfortunately, being pretty won't help you.

01:01:17This industry respects results.

01:01:18I couldn't agree more.

01:01:19Jessica looks amazing in this dress.

01:01:20Did you hear me?

01:01:21I said results.

01:01:22Empty pocket.

01:01:2390% of the people in this room are already partnered with TB.

01:01:24Everyone is putting their trust in us.

01:01:25Isn't that right?

01:01:26No.

01:01:27No.

01:01:28No.

01:01:29No.

01:01:30No.

01:01:31No.

01:01:32No.

01:01:33No.

01:01:34No.

01:01:35No.

01:01:36No.

01:01:37No.

01:01:38No.

01:01:39No.

01:01:40No.

01:01:41No.

01:01:42No.

01:01:43No.

01:01:44No.

01:01:45No.

01:01:46No.

01:01:47No.

01:01:48No.

01:01:49No.

01:01:50No.

01:01:51No.

01:01:52No.

01:01:53No.

01:01:54No.

01:01:55No.

01:01:56No.

01:01:57No.

01:01:58No.

01:01:59No.

01:02:00No.

01:02:01No.

01:02:02No.

01:02:03No.

01:02:04No.

01:02:05No.

01:02:06No.

01:02:07No.

01:02:08No.

01:02:09No.

01:02:10No.

01:02:11No.

01:02:12No.

01:02:13No.

01:02:14No.

01:02:15No.

01:02:16No.

01:02:17No.

01:02:18No.

01:02:19No.

01:02:20TB's upcoming fund is powered by Jesse's proprietary quant trading model.

01:02:24Ladies and gentlemen, I want you to ask yourself,

01:02:27what are you going to do with your newfound wealth?

01:02:29Because we are going to be very, very rich.

01:02:31Jackson, is there still time for me to raise my fate?

01:02:34That's your bottom dollar.

01:02:37Is something fun?

01:02:38I'm laughing because you're an idiot.

01:02:41And you, you are worse.

01:02:44Stealing my identity and taking credit for my work.

01:02:46You know what happens when that model crashes?

01:02:48Yes, TB Securities goes bankrupt overnight.

01:02:51What are you talking about?

01:02:52Hey, Jesse's model is bulletproof.

01:02:54Jackson, I know that model's flaws better than anyone.

01:02:57Because I created it.

01:02:59What?

01:03:04Liar!

01:03:05You're just a whore who sleeps with clueless executives.

01:03:08Who are you to talk?

01:03:09Jackson, they're our rivals.

01:03:11Are you really going to believe her over me?

01:03:13If you claim that you really built TB's latest trading model,

01:03:17where's your proof?

01:03:17I don't have any.

01:03:18Your choice whether to believe me or not.

01:03:21It's enough eye contact with the enemy, don't you think?

01:03:23You're right.

01:03:24Let's go.

01:03:26You got it.

01:03:30Bitch!

01:03:31He's not that strong.

01:03:31I was already on balance.

01:03:32Do you see how fast she ran?

01:03:34Guilty conscience.

01:03:35She's obviously just trying to tear us apart, okay?

01:03:37Don't let that happen.

01:03:39Relax.

01:03:39Gentlemen, I can guarantee that the Charles Fund is a goldmine waiting to happen.

01:03:49Why not take a chance on it?

01:03:51Mr. Clooney, it isn't that we don't trust you.

01:03:53100%.

01:03:54You've got our confidence.

01:03:56That's right.

01:03:56It's just, we've already committed to the TB fund.

01:03:59Oh, so you're all in with them already.

01:04:01Look, Jessica's model makes TBs look like a child's toy.

01:04:05Simple as that.

01:04:06Trial security is your best bet here.

01:04:09Maybe sleep on it before you commit elsewhere, huh?

01:04:10Do we really want to snag the head of Clooney's group?

01:04:13That's dangerous territory.

01:04:15Yeah, you might be right.

01:04:17Mr. Clooney, why don't we just take some steps forward and we'll see-

01:04:20Come on, William.

01:04:22Using your family name to intimidate our clients into purchasing your worthless fund?

01:04:29Mr. Padilla, please, don't believe William's con.

01:04:33Charles Securities is merely a dating service for him.

01:04:35It's not a real business.

01:04:37Okay, invest your money there, and you might as well kiss it goodbye.

01:04:40Jackson, it's okay.

01:04:41We trust Mr. Clooney.

01:04:43See that?

01:04:43You fool.

01:04:44They're not betting on Charles.

01:04:45They're betting on Clooney Financial Group.

01:04:47Without your dad's company, you'd be invisible on this firm.

01:04:49And?

01:04:50Right now I'm here as the head of Charles Securities.

01:04:53Gentlemen, our fund speaks for itself.

01:04:55Just check out these numbers.

01:04:57Now, look, Charles Securities may be small, but our results have multiplied exponentially.

01:05:03The results don't lie.

01:05:04Wow, if these figures are accurate, the ROI alone is higher than TBs.

01:05:08Every number is verified.

01:05:09I can personally guarantee that as head of Clooney Financial Group.

01:05:13You know, William, that is a really cute little portfolio that you have there.

01:05:17Good job.

01:05:18But it's no match for TB's fund.

01:05:20Remember, folks, William has Clooney Group's billions to catch him if he falls.

01:05:27At TB, we are investing our own cash.

01:05:29We are right there with you.

01:05:31If you fail, we fail too.

01:05:33Remember that.

01:05:34Jackson makes a good point.

01:05:36If Charles fund tanks, they've got Clooney Financial as a fallback.

01:05:40For us, one bad investment could risk everything we own.

01:05:44What if I told you that Clooney Financial Group is all in?

01:05:48Are you serious right now?

01:05:53What are you talking about?

01:05:54Jessica, I'm not overstepping you, am I?

01:05:56Not at all.

01:05:58In fact, congratulations.

01:05:59You're about to become the wealthiest man in the nation.

01:06:02Okay, enough with this performance to con people into buying your worthless fund.

01:06:06All right?

01:06:07Everyone knows that Charles Securities is the laughingstock of the finance industry.

01:06:10Stop with this act.

01:06:13Nobody's buying it.

01:06:14Jackson, if all you care about is statistics and numbers and results,

01:06:18then how about we make a bet on fund performance launch day?

01:06:21Same stakes as before.

01:06:23If Charles Securities loses, my shares are yours.

01:06:26But if TB loses, what's yours is mine.

01:06:31I've locked in 90% of the investors here.

01:06:34Charles has nobody.

01:06:35This bet is mine.

01:06:37What do you say?

01:06:38Brave enough?

01:06:39I'm game.

01:06:41But I hope you hold up your end of the bargain when you lose.

01:06:44I was actually about to say the same thing.

01:06:46How about you say we sign on it right now?

01:06:49I couldn't agree more.

01:06:55Jessica, are you really going to let your boyfriend sign?

01:06:58Once Charles fund tanks, he'll be broke.

01:07:01As long as I'm here, Charles won't lose.

01:07:03And neither will William.

01:07:09Holy shit.

01:07:28He actually signed.

01:07:29William, you just signed your own death warrant.

01:07:31As soon as our fund goes public, I'll own everything.

01:07:34Your assets, your company, and your family name.

01:07:38I'm going to be the new head of your precious company.

01:07:40Well, congratulations, Jackson.

01:07:42I knew we backed the right horse.

01:07:43Only you can take TB and us to the promised land.

01:07:46Charles Securities.

01:07:47Complete trash.

01:07:49TB is where the real players are.

01:07:51Are you starting to have second thoughts about your golden boy, Clooney, here?

01:07:53No, please.

01:07:54He's just a trust fund playboy.

01:07:56He doesn't belong in the same universe as you, Jackson.

01:07:58Blowing his entire inheritance on a woman.

01:08:01Utterly pathetic.

01:08:04Don't pop the champagne yet.

01:08:06TB is going to crash and burn.

01:08:08And once it does,

01:08:09you'll all be crawling back to us in tears once the fund launches.

01:08:12Give it a rest, Jessica.

01:08:14Jessica, you're dragging a billionaire into poverty.

01:08:17I mean, you're basically a curse on anyone stupid enough to trust you.

01:08:21Bullshit.

01:08:23You're the damn curse.

01:08:25Jessica, it's my good luck charm.

01:08:30Who?

01:08:33Hello?

01:08:34What do you mean the algorithm is glitching?

01:08:38What do you mean the algorithm is glitching?

01:08:41What's going on?

01:08:43Nothing.

01:08:43I mean, I'm just going to do what's in there.

01:08:47What the hell is happening?

01:08:48Something's wrong with the system.

01:08:50It won't stop trading.

01:08:50We're bleeding millions.

01:08:52Jessie, we need a solution now.

01:08:54Emma, hack the back end in sizing problems from our other funds to cover these losses.

01:08:57Are you insane?

01:08:59Data fraud and embezzlement are serious crimes.

01:09:05Who cares about the rules, all right?

01:09:06The TB fund launches days for me.

01:09:08We cannot afford to show any of these losses.

01:09:10What?

01:09:13Hello?

01:09:15Jesse!

01:09:15Well, Jackson, looks like I'm going to inherit TB without spending a dime.

01:09:20Please.

01:09:21I have Miss Jay, the securities queen herself.

01:09:24With her failure is impossible.

01:09:25What's so funny?

01:09:29Well?

01:09:30Minor glitches.

01:09:31I solved the problem.

01:09:32I've never doubted you for a second.

01:09:35Obviously.

01:09:35There's no system error I can't solve.

01:09:39Now, on watch day, if you're looking for me, I'll be in my office, waiting for you two

01:09:43to come crying, crawling in there, begging me to save you from bankruptcy.

01:09:47Spoiler alert, I'm not going to.

01:09:49Whoops.

01:09:51Hello?

01:09:55Look at that climb.

01:09:56Ten million dollars in profit in just minutes.

01:10:00What about Charles Securities?

01:10:01Oh, just as I thought.

01:10:09There are at least six figures.

01:10:11Jackson, we have this bet.

01:10:13Piggy's got it locked down.

01:10:14Starting today, I am the king of the securities world.

01:10:17Come on, everybody.

01:10:18Let's celebrate.

01:10:29I'm sorry, boss.

01:10:30We're done for.

01:10:30This can't be happening.

01:10:31Evan, there has to be something we can do.

01:10:33Can you check again?

01:10:33It's pointless.

01:10:34Our phone is too small.

01:10:35Even if we multiply to returns, we can't match TB's numbers.

01:10:37We're dead.

01:10:38Dead.

01:10:39Boss, you're going to go broke.

01:10:40I'm going to be on the streets.

01:10:41Oh, I knew it.

01:10:41There's no escaping bankruptcy after call.

01:10:43All right, enough.

01:10:44It's too early to throw in the towel.

01:10:46Please tell me, my sister.

01:10:48Give it half an hour, Max.

01:10:50The entire game is about to change.

01:10:56Congrats, Jackson.

01:10:57Jesse, you went from Chief TB to the Charles security and other me group.

01:11:01The victory would not have been nearly as sweet without you.

01:11:04I was right about you, Miss J.

01:11:05You were the only woman worthy of being by my side.

01:11:07Well, about that marriage proposal that you promised me.

01:11:10I know.

01:11:11I didn't forget, Jesse.

01:11:17Jesse, will you marry me?

01:11:19Oh, my God.

01:11:20Yes.

01:11:21Yes, I will.

01:11:24Boss, we're screwed.

01:11:25The margins called across the board.

01:11:27The algorithms totally crashed.

01:11:28What?

01:11:29What the fuck is going on?

01:11:31There was a critical bug in the trading model.

01:11:33It took down the newly launched fund with it.

01:11:35So what are you waiting for?

01:11:36Fix it already.

01:11:36It's way beyond us.

01:11:38We can't fix something this complex.

01:11:39You incompetent morons.

01:11:40Where's Jesse?

01:11:41Jesse?

01:11:43Miss J, you created this model so you can fix it.

01:11:45Right?

01:11:50Look, I gotta ask.

01:11:51If I were to lose everything,

01:11:54would you still want to marry me?

01:11:56Nope.

01:11:58Okay.

01:11:58Wait, is this...

01:12:10I mean,

01:12:11if you want to marry me that bad,

01:12:14I guess I can stoop down to your level.

01:12:17Boss,

01:12:18we're saved.

01:12:19You're not going broke,

01:12:20and I'm not going bankrupt.

01:12:21TV's fund just crashed.

01:12:23Johnny Padilla

01:12:24and all the other whales

01:12:25call if they want to get in

01:12:26on our fund.

01:12:28Did I interrupt something?

01:12:31No.

01:12:31Your timing is perfect, actually.

01:12:34Look what Jessica got me.

01:12:36Pretty sweet, huh?

01:12:43But Jessica,

01:12:44I can't figure it out.

01:12:45How exactly did you predict

01:12:46that TB's fund would crash

01:12:47in just 30 minutes?

01:12:49From day one,

01:12:50I knew TB's model

01:12:50couldn't handle real market turbulence.

01:12:52And then Jesse jacked up the leverage

01:12:54to get those pretty quarterly numbers,

01:12:55and that made it a house of cards.

01:12:57One tap and...

01:12:58Boom.

01:12:58What tap?

01:12:59Are you talking about

01:13:00the Federal Reserve rate increase?

01:13:02Exactly.

01:13:03TB imploded so fast

01:13:04because the Fed's rate hike announcement

01:13:06triggered massive capital flight

01:13:07and market tremors.

01:13:09Half an hour was actually longer than expected.

01:13:14Jessica,

01:13:14you called the Fed's

01:13:16exact

01:13:17move just by

01:13:19reading the market signals.

01:13:21That is...

01:13:22Well, that's next-level genius.

01:13:26Wait, I...

01:13:27Jesse, whoa!

01:13:28Whoa, whoa, whoa!

01:13:28Damn it, Jesse!

01:13:31What the fuck is going on?

01:13:32We're down billions!

01:13:33Keep this up,

01:13:33and TB's is finished!

01:13:37I can't fix it.

01:13:39The model's beyond repair.

01:13:41What do you mean you can't fix it?

01:13:42Your model?

01:13:42Your failure of a team?

01:13:44Fix this disaster?

01:13:45Ow!

01:13:46Don't...

01:13:47Fix this disaster?

01:13:49Ow!

01:13:50Don't look at us!

01:13:51This was all Jesse!

01:13:52She made us use Jessica's old model for trading.

01:13:56We had no idea we'd lose this much.

01:13:58This is Jessica's model,

01:13:59not yours.

01:14:01Exactly!

01:14:01And before that,

01:14:02she made us pump up the leverage

01:14:03to try and make the quarterly numbers look good.

01:14:06This has nothing to do with us.

01:14:07Tell me they're lying now.

01:14:10Tell me they're lying now.

01:14:15What?

01:14:16Where are you bitches going?

01:14:18You can't just leave me like this!

01:14:19I can explain.

01:14:23Explain you sunk the entire company!

01:14:25What a possible excuse you have!

01:14:27What am I supposed to tell the investors?

01:14:32Hello, Mr. Padilla.

01:14:33What kind of clusterfuck are you running over there?

01:14:36If you keep losing money like this,

01:14:38I'll be finished along with you!

01:14:40Mr. Padilla, I understand your concern,

01:14:42but please, I...

01:14:43You understand it, huh?

01:14:44I put billions into your money!

01:14:46Listen up,

01:14:46if I go bankrupt because of you,

01:14:48I will fucking end you!

01:14:54Hello?

01:14:55Jackson,

01:14:56is this how you handle business?

01:14:57Your model is trash!

01:15:00Our partnership with TV is over!

01:15:02Uh...

01:15:02You did this!

01:15:06Don't blame me!

01:15:07You're the one who wanted the upgraded model!

01:15:09You're the one who wanted the perfect financials!

01:15:11You pushed me for the launch day!

01:15:13Unbelievable!

01:15:13How could my father possibly think

01:15:15that you are his most valuable asset?

01:15:17Hey, Jimmy!

01:15:18What are you doing?

01:15:20Jackson!

01:15:21Damn, just up like one.

01:15:23What have you done?

01:15:24How did you get TV?

01:15:26Blacklisted from the entire industry.

01:15:28I'm sorry.

01:15:29No, no, no, no, no, no.

01:15:30Just save your lame apologies.

01:15:32Just get me Jessica.

01:15:33Where is she?

01:15:34She's the only one that can

01:15:35pull TV back from the brink now.

01:15:38Jessica's gone.

01:15:39I fired her.

01:15:44You did what to Jessica?

01:15:45I don't get it.

01:15:47Why do you care?

01:15:50Do you have any idea who Jessica is?

01:15:53The board and I specifically recruited her.

01:15:55Our model that has been keeping us afloat

01:15:59is her work.

01:16:00That's the only reason TV's been at the top of the industry

01:16:03and you fired her?

01:16:04I didn't do it.

01:16:07She told me to.

01:16:08So you're not the real Miss Jay at all.

01:16:10Jessica really is the security screen, isn't she?

01:16:12Oh my God.

01:16:15I got rid of her golden goose.

01:16:17Enough!

01:16:17It's fine, Jessica.

01:16:19If I have to get down on my knees, I will.

01:16:21But we're bringing her back!

01:16:22Dad, no.

01:16:23Your health can't handle this stress.

01:16:25I'll do it.

01:16:27I'll beg her to have mercy on TV.

01:16:30Mr. Clooney, I knew that you were going to come out on top.

01:16:32And Jackson, he does not belong in your league.

01:16:35You're a once-in-a-generation talent.

01:16:37And as a sign of good faith,

01:16:39I want to invest over 10% above market value.

01:16:43What do you say?

01:16:44Hard pass.

01:16:45I'm just a womanizing wastrel.

01:16:48Right?

01:16:49A useless playboy.

01:16:50That's what you said.

01:16:52I'm clearly not worthy of your partnership.

01:16:55Gentlemen,

01:16:57you can see your way out.

01:16:58Jackson,

01:17:06you got a lot of nerve showing your face in front of me.

01:17:09Hey!

01:17:11Not in my office.

01:17:12If you want to fight, take it outside.

01:17:16This ain't over.

01:17:25Oh.

01:17:28William, Jessica.

01:17:31Look, I'm begging you.

01:17:33Okay?

01:17:33Don't let TV go bankrupt.

01:17:36Okay, please.

01:17:38Okay, I'm begging you.

01:17:39Just give TV a break.

01:17:40Your choice, babe.

01:17:41I'm on board with whatever you do.

01:17:42Look, Jessica.

01:17:43Okay.

01:17:44I was wrong.

01:17:45The legendary securities queen,

01:17:47embezzlement and fraud.

01:17:48Anyone who crushed you is going to suffer.

01:17:51Plus-

01:17:51Save it, Jackson.

01:17:53My answer is no.

01:17:55Your misogyny caused your own downfall.

01:17:56You've deserved every bit of this.

01:17:59Perfect.

01:18:00Oh, and Jackson,

01:18:01about that performance agreement we signed.

01:18:03Charles Securities now owns TV.

01:18:06We are now number one in the industry.

01:18:14Bye, Jackson.

01:18:14Big news, boss.

01:18:28We're not broke anymore.

01:18:29Hey, I still have a job.

01:18:30I'm firing you eventually.

01:18:32Okay.

01:18:33Would you like to address the crowd?

01:18:34Of course.

01:18:36Remember when I said we'd beat TV?

01:18:38We, well, mission accomplished.

01:18:42And every person in this room made it happen.

01:18:44True, but Jessica, you deserve most of the credit.

01:18:46Absolutely.

01:18:47The credit goes to the woman of the hour.

01:18:49Actually, the real hero is William.

01:18:52He bought Charles when no one else would.

01:18:55Without that risk, none of us would be standing here.

01:18:58That's right.

01:18:59The boss deserves all the credit.

01:19:01Hear, hear.

01:19:03Jessica, I do have something to get off my chest.

01:19:06I had ulterior motives when I bought Charles Securities.

01:19:13It was really just to get closer to you.

01:19:15But my feelings for you are true, I swear.

01:19:18Boss, did you really think that was a secret?

01:19:21I mean, anyone with a post knew that that was the game plan.

01:19:24Your little office romance wasn't exactly confidential information.

01:19:28Coverblown?

01:19:29Okay, then let's do this properly.

01:19:33Jessica,

01:19:33I've transferred Charles Securities into your name as my engagement gift.

01:19:45Will you marry me?

01:19:47Just put this ring on,

01:19:50and you'll be more than TV's owner.

01:19:52You'll be the first lady of the Clooney Financial Group.

01:19:56I mean, you'll have more capital than you know what to do with.

01:19:58So,

01:20:00what do you say?

01:20:03I can't believe you.

01:20:09So, is that a no?

01:20:11It's about time you ask me!

01:20:18Jessica,

01:20:19from this day forward,

01:20:21you are my everything.

01:20:23You are my everything.

01:20:28You are my everything.
