00:00:04In the critical days before IPO, after I poured three years of blood and sweat into building this company from

00:00:11scratch, I'm standing in an all-hands meeting getting fucked over by an intern.

00:00:22President Gray, I'd like to file a formal complaint. Veronica has been blatantly abusing her authority as vice president.

00:00:30You use the corporate jet like your private party bus. That Gulfstream is meant to impress top investors, not your

00:00:37little socialette friends.

00:00:40While the rest of us are busting asses for this firm, you're up there playing celebrity at 30,000 feet.

00:00:46What do you have to say for yourself?

00:00:49What this idiot doesn't know is that the Gulfstream is mine. I loaned it to the company three years ago.

00:00:56What the hell are you laughing at?

00:01:00Rebecca, maybe you should explain to the office Sherlock who that jet actually belongs to before she starts dusting the

00:01:05room for fingerprints.

00:01:09Rebecca's my best friend.

00:01:11Three years ago, she was drowning in debt and this firm was hanging by a thread.

00:01:15I was the one who saved both.

00:01:24Ronnie, I screwed up.

00:01:26I put every dollar I had into this company.

00:01:29The loan sharks said they're taking my fingers next.

00:01:33Please, you're the only one who can help me.

00:01:38Look at me.

00:01:39We're sisters.

00:01:41I'm not going to let anything bad happen to you.

00:01:45Pay off your debt.

00:01:47Don't worry about paying me back.

00:01:50No.

00:01:52I won't take charity.

00:01:55From this day on, we're partners.

00:01:5850-50.

00:02:02When we started pitching investors, Wall Street laughed us out of the room.

00:02:07So when I bought my first private jet, I let Rebecca use it to make us look legit.

00:02:16Go pick up our investors in style.

00:02:18We may be small, but no one can say we look cheap.

00:02:24Explain these flight logs.

00:02:26President Gray, Veronica's been using the jet non-stop like her toy.

00:02:30The engine's taken a beating and the company's footing insane hargar fees and maintenance costs.

00:02:35We're about to go public.

00:02:37If SEC sees this kind of executive asset abuse, our entire listing could collapse.

00:02:42We have to terminate her immediately.

00:02:47Everything came out of my pocket.

00:02:49I didn't cost this company a cent.

00:02:51If anything, I helped it fake success long enough to become successful.

00:02:57Rebecca, tell her.

00:03:04Vernonica!

00:03:05I can't believe you'd sink this low.

00:03:10Excuse me?

00:03:11This company has compliance rules.

00:03:13I don't care if you're a founder.

00:03:15Nobody gets special treatment.

00:03:17Wow.

00:03:19Look at you now.

00:03:22Ronnie, I screwed up.

00:03:24Again.

00:03:25The firm's about to go under because of me.

00:03:28I'm sorry I let you down.

00:03:31Hey, it's just money.

00:03:33We'll make more.

00:03:34I'll mortgage the jet if I have to.

00:03:38Ronnie, thank you.

00:03:40Nobody's ever believed in me the way you do.

00:03:45One day, when we're ringing that opening bell, I'm buying you the best jet on the market.

00:03:50We'll fly around the world together.

00:03:57Oh my god!

00:03:59We did it!

00:04:00We freaking did it!

00:04:01Oh my god!

00:04:14We did it!

00:04:17We freaking did it!

00:04:19It's always going to be you and me against the world.

00:04:33It's always going to be you and me against the world.

00:04:35But what about the rest of you?

00:04:38You all know exactly where that jet came from.

00:04:42Funny.

00:04:43When the company was drowning, I was everyone's hero.

00:04:47Now Rebecca turns on me and suddenly everybody develops amnesia.

00:04:51President Gray, to make sure nothing like this happens again, we should put the jet under administrative control.

00:04:57No one gets access without approval.

00:04:59That's a great idea, Ava.

00:05:01If we are serious about becoming a world-class company, we need real structure.

00:05:05Veronica, please hand over the jet access codes.

00:05:09That's not enough, considering how severe this abuse was.

00:05:14Veronica should apologize publicly in front of the entire company.

00:05:22One bitch wants a power trip, the other wants my jet.

00:05:27Fine.

00:05:28Let's see if you can survive the consequences.

00:05:37Veronica, what are you doing?

00:05:38Are you trying to cause a scene?

00:05:40This is Rebecca's company, not yours.

00:05:48Wouldn't dream of forgetting that.

00:05:50That's better.

00:05:51A VP is still just an employee.

00:05:52Rebecca calls all the shots.

00:05:54It's about time you knew your place.

00:05:58Veronica, I know this doesn't feel fair.

00:06:01But we're on the verge of an IPO.

00:06:03Sacrifices have to be made.

00:06:04We're sisters.

00:06:05I'd never hurt you.

00:06:12They stole my jet and think they're still going public?

00:06:15That's cute.

00:06:24Can you believe her?

00:06:26Strutting around like she's above everyone.

00:06:28Meanwhile, she's been stealing from the firm.

00:06:29Sucking us dry just to impress her rich friends.

00:06:32It's disgusting.

00:06:33Rebecca's too kind.

00:06:34If it were me, security would have tossed this leech out on her ass already.

00:06:37Three years of carrying this firm on my back.

00:06:40And now they call me a leech.

00:06:46Veronica, according to Estimate, you owe the firm $128,000.

00:06:51Hangar fees, fuel, cleaning.

00:06:54You even want me to reimburse the flight crew salaries?

00:06:59You're the one who treated the company jet like a personal VIP pass.

00:07:02Don't be surprised when the bills got your name on it.

00:07:04You had your fun.

00:07:06Now, pay up like a big girl.

00:07:08Do you know who paid the hangar fees, insurance premiums, and crew salaries for the past three years?

00:07:14It's a company jet.

00:07:16Who do you think paid for it?

00:07:17The company.

00:07:18Duh.

00:07:19Interesting.

00:07:21Then why aren't there any invoices or payment records in the company books?

00:07:26Because I just took over.

00:07:28I haven't finished auditing everything yet.

00:07:30I'll find the records later.

00:07:31Nice try.

00:07:32Now stop changing the subject and pay what you owe.

00:07:35You could tear this office apart brick by brick and still wouldn't find those records.

00:07:40What the hell is that supposed to mean?

00:07:48It means the firm didn't pay a single cent.

00:07:50Every invoice for that jet over the last three years is right here.

00:07:54I paid everything myself from my personal account.

00:07:58So what?

00:07:58You're the one using the jet.

00:08:00Who else was supposed to pay?

00:08:01And you still owe the firm for using it.

00:08:04Then let me ask you one more question.

00:08:07Do you know who brought that jet into the firm three years ago?

00:08:10I don't know.

00:08:11And I don't care.

00:08:12It's registered under the company now.

00:08:14And Rebecca said if you don't pay up, we're dacking your bonus.

00:08:19Rebecca again.

00:08:20Oh, and one more thing.

00:08:21Rebecca has officially made me the jet administrator.

00:08:24From now on, you want to fly?

00:08:26You submit a request to me.

00:08:28If I approve it, you fly.

00:08:29If I don't, you stay on the damn ground.

00:08:34Let me get this straight.

00:08:35I'm the vice president, but I need a hall pass from a three-month intern to use my jet?

00:08:42What?

00:08:43Rebecca personally ordered it.

00:08:45Don't like it?

00:08:46Take it up with her.

00:08:53Fine.

00:08:54I'll pay.

00:08:56Could have saved us both a lot of time if you just said that from the start.

00:09:04Oh, one more thing.

00:09:06Rebecca's bringing in a major client on Monday.

00:09:08Make sure you clear your personal crap off the jet.

00:09:11Let's not embarrass the firm.

00:09:13Noted.

00:09:26Davis, I need some legal advice.

00:09:29Hypothetically, if someone takes your property, claims it's theirs, and profits off it, what are your options?

00:09:34Cases like that come down to one thing.

00:09:36Proof.

00:09:37As long as you can prove ownership, they'll have to return the property to be liable for any damages.

00:09:41Understood.

00:09:54Ronnie, the company's doing well.

00:09:56We can't keep using your jet for free.

00:09:59Maybe we should just buy it?

00:10:03Silly.

00:10:04What's mine is yours.

00:10:05It helps the company.

00:10:07That's all that matters.

00:10:10Time really changes people.

00:10:12I gave her everything.

00:10:16Turns out all I did was teach her to take more.

00:10:22It's time to settle up.

00:10:33Veronica, I figured you were busy, so I went ahead and cleaned up for you.

00:10:38I hope that's not a problem.

00:10:43What is this bargain-get crap?

00:10:45Toss it all.

00:10:46Replace it with the Levant Rebecca actually drinks.

00:10:50That's Romanae Conti.

00:10:52Allocation only.

00:10:5320 grand a bottle.

00:10:55Every bottle paid for by me.

00:10:56Every bottle poured for the company's clients.

00:10:59Ew, this is giving rich grandma energy.

00:11:02Like, aggressively.

00:11:03Rip them out.

00:11:04I want luxury luxury.

00:11:05Like, Hermes Orange.

00:11:07I want clients to see money.

00:11:13Handcrafted in Italy, custom aviation leather.

00:11:1650k per seat.

00:11:18And she's ripping them out with a crowbar.

00:11:22Seriously?

00:11:24Why is there church stuff?

00:11:25It's killing the vibe!

00:11:29That was my mother's cross.

00:11:30The only thing she left me.

00:11:33Priceless.

00:11:34Much better.

00:11:35Now it actually looks expensive.

00:11:39Ava, you're about to find out how expensive ignorance can get.

00:11:44Oh, right.

00:11:45On one more thing.

00:11:46Management's decided to suspend you as vice president.

00:11:48Takes them to think about what you've done.

00:11:50Then start preparing your handover.

00:11:52Oh?

00:11:53A handover?

00:11:54To who?

00:11:55Me, obviously.

00:11:57Rebecca's promoting me to director of operations.

00:12:00Guess exposing corruption really pays off.

00:12:02You?

00:12:03The intern whose HR paperwork is still pending?

00:12:06So what?

00:12:07Rebecca made the call herself.

00:12:08You got a problem with it?

00:12:10Take it up with her.

00:12:11Fair enough.

00:12:12Congratulations, Ava.

00:12:13I mean, director Stutton.

00:12:15Now you're getting it.

00:12:17Clear out, you office.

00:12:18I'm moving in this afternoon.

00:12:25Why are you still here?

00:12:26This office is mine now.

00:12:28Can you try not to get in the way?

00:12:29Some of us actually have work to do.

00:12:32Oops.

00:12:33Guess my hand slipped.

00:12:35Then again, you're suspended.

00:12:36It's not like you'll be needing any of this stuff anymore.

00:12:41By all means, take the chair.

00:12:44Let's see if you can fill it.

00:12:52Wait!

00:12:54Yes, director Stutton.

00:12:55Need something else?

00:12:57I want everything you've got on Victor Sterling.

00:13:02Veronica, I admire people who stand behind their word.

00:13:04I'm impressed.

00:13:05I'd be happy to do business with your firm.

00:13:08Victor's our biggest client.

00:13:10I've spent months winning him over.

00:13:12In the end, that jet helped close the deal.

00:13:14Everything's in the database.

00:13:15Knock yourself out.

00:13:16I don't give a shit about what's in the database.

00:13:18I want the real intel.

00:13:20What does he like?

00:13:21What does he drink?

00:13:22What gets him to sign?

00:13:24And why exactly would I tell you that, Veronica?

00:13:27If we lose our biggest client because you bobbed the handover, you'll be responsible for the damages.

00:13:32Actually, no.

00:13:34You suspended me.

00:13:35As far as this company's concerned, I don't work here anymore.

00:13:39Whatever happens next isn't my problem.

00:13:41Also, if you're qualified enough to steal my job, you should be capable enough to keep my clients.

00:13:47I've got somewhere to be.

00:13:48Good luck.

00:13:49You're going to need it.

00:13:53Keep talking, bitch.

00:13:55You act like Victor only says yes to you.

00:13:57The minute I land this deal, you're finished.

00:14:02Miss Belton, welcome back.

00:14:04What can we do for you today?

00:14:05I want maximum security installed on my aircraft.

00:14:08Starting today, nobody flies it without my fingerprint and authorization from my phone.

00:14:12I want full control routed to my device.

00:14:14Of course.

00:14:15As the registered owner, that's entirely your right.

00:14:17We'll start immediately.

00:14:19Perfect.

00:14:23Veronica, shouldn't you be at home reflecting on your behavior?

00:14:26What are you doing here?

00:14:29Oh, please.

00:14:30Don't tell me you're trying to steal the jet again.

00:14:33Honestly, Veronica, do you have any shame?

00:14:35This is company property.

00:14:39It's a work day.

00:14:41I'm working.

00:14:43So you're using it for a business trip?

00:14:46Didn't I make myself clear?

00:14:47Nobody uses company aircraft without my permission.

00:14:51It wouldn't matter anyway.

00:14:54The jet's booked.

00:14:54Rebecca and I are taking the jet to Chicago for a deal.

00:14:58Veronica, if you really need to travel for business, just book a coach flight.

00:15:02We'll reimburse the ticket as a courtesy.

00:15:08Reimburse me?

00:15:09Reimburse me?

00:15:10Flying my jet, burning my fuel, closing their deals, and offering to reimburse me for a coach ticket?

00:15:17The audacity is almost impressive.

00:15:23Hello, this is Veronica Belton.

00:15:25My credit card has been compromised.

00:15:28Freeze the account immediately.

00:15:32Oh?

00:15:36You're right on time.

00:15:43Now?

00:15:44No.

00:15:44That's too easy.

00:15:46If I'm going to ground them, I'll do it when they think they've won.

00:15:58Veronica, what the hell is wrong with you?

00:16:01Tom just tried to refuel and found your card declined.

00:16:04Do you have any idea what kind of mess this is causing?

00:16:06Calm down.

00:16:07That's my personal card.

00:16:08The system flagged suspicious activity.

00:16:10Of course I froze it.

00:16:12Victor lands tomorrow.

00:16:13The jet needs to be ready.

00:16:14Unfreeze the card.

00:16:15Now.

00:16:16Banks are closed for the weekend.

00:16:18Earliest I can unfreeze it is Monday.

00:16:20Are you doing this out of spite?

00:16:22I fined you once and suddenly you're sabotaging the firm?

00:16:25If this deal falls apart, that's on you.

00:16:28It's my card.

00:16:29I can freeze it whenever I want.

00:16:30And remind me, why is the company using my credit card?

00:16:34Y-you?

00:16:36I didn't care before.

00:16:38Back when I thought this company was ours.

00:16:40Now I do.

00:16:42Fine, Veronica!

00:16:43You want to play hardball?

00:16:44From now on, don't expect any more favors from the firm!

00:16:48Favors?

00:16:49When have you given me any favors?

00:16:55When Rebecca was struggling, I leased her an entire floor.

00:16:58My father left me at half the market rate.

00:17:00And that lease expired two days ago.

00:17:05You want to bite the hand that fed you?

00:17:07Go ahead.

00:17:08I'll make sure it's the last mistake you ever make.

00:17:13Hi.

00:17:14I'm leasing out the 22nd floor of Manhattan Star Tower.

00:17:18Rent is negotiable.

00:17:20My only condition is simple.

00:17:21Move in within three days with full rent.

00:17:25How dare this bitch hang up on me!

00:17:27I'm the fucking CEO here!

00:17:29President Gray,

00:17:30a woman who throws a fit over a little jet fuel

00:17:33has no place in a firm of this caliber.

00:17:35Once we sign with Victor tomorrow,

00:17:37we'll kick her out for good.

00:17:49Mr. Sterling,

00:17:50please give a little more time

00:17:51to show how much we value your business.

00:17:54I'm sending our private jet

00:17:55to bring you in personally.

00:17:59Is everything ready?

00:18:01Victor is our biggest investor.

00:18:03Absolutely nothing can go wrong today.

00:18:06I've got you, President Gray.

00:18:07The jet's totally ready to go.

00:18:09And since Mr. Sterling loves the VIP treatment,

00:18:11I've stocked the cabin with top-shelf champagne,

00:18:14gourmet catering,

00:18:15and the works.

00:18:16Good.

00:18:18Nothing says success like the $30 million jet

00:18:21waiting on the runway.

00:18:22Victor will be signing before he even lands.

00:18:24President Gray,

00:18:26Ava may be young,

00:18:27but she's already left Veronica in the dust.

00:18:30Absolutely.

00:18:31Ava's the future of this firm.

00:18:33Veronica's way of doing things is ancient history.

00:18:35She was holding the firm back.

00:18:37You guys are giving me way too much credit.

00:18:39Everything I know came from President Gray.

00:18:42All right.

00:18:43Time for Cali.

00:18:44Let's get moving.

00:18:45Yes, ma'am.

00:18:57Get moving?

00:18:58Not unless I allow it.

00:19:04Hello?

00:19:05Miss Belton,

00:19:05I have a client who urgently needed office space.

00:19:08Only catch is he's in debt collection,

00:19:10and his people can be a little rough.

00:19:11Want me to find someone more corporate?

00:19:13Debt collectors?

00:19:14Perfect.

00:19:16I've got some former tenants refusing to leave.

00:19:19If he clears them out today,

00:19:21I'll leasing the floor at half rent.

00:19:23Absolutely.

00:19:24That's what they do best.

00:19:25I'll send them over now.

00:19:27Debt collectors and Victor showing up at the same time.

00:19:30This should be fine.

00:19:31Rebecca,

00:19:32I'd love to hear how you explain this to me.

00:19:56What's going on?

00:19:57Where'd the plane stop?

00:19:58I don't know.

00:19:59The engine just cut out.

00:20:01The control board went dark.

00:20:02Then restart it.

00:20:03What are you standing there for?

00:20:06What the hell is happening?

00:20:09It looks like the system controls are locked.

00:20:14What?

00:20:14Are you idiots breaking my plane?

00:20:17No, ma'am.

00:20:18I did everything by the book.

00:20:20I've no idea why this is happening.

00:20:22For fuck's sake, fix it.

00:20:24If Victor walks,

00:20:25every one of your asses is fired.

00:20:29I've never seen anything like this before.

00:20:31I don't know what to do.

00:20:32Of course you don't.

00:20:34Suddenly, nobody knows how to do shit.

00:20:36This crap never happened when Veronica was here.

00:20:38Wait.

00:20:39If we get Vice President Belton's master key,

00:20:41we can reactivate to the system.

00:20:43Okay, where the damn key?

00:20:45I think it should be with admin.

00:20:48Then why the fuck are you standing here?

00:20:49Go get it.

00:20:50Okay, right away.

00:20:57Too bad that key is junk now.

00:21:00The entire system's upgraded.

00:21:02Without my command,

00:21:03this jet isn't going anywhere.

00:21:14Here.

00:21:15Try it.

00:21:29Still nothing?

00:21:30Do you even know how to fly this thing?

00:21:32There's nothing I can do, ma'am.

00:21:33The jet's in full lockdown.

00:21:35The key's been disabled.

00:21:36The system says only the registered owner

00:21:38can unlock it with the master code.

00:21:41President Gray!

00:21:42It's the company jet!

00:21:43Surely you're the registered owner.

00:21:45Just punch the code in!

00:21:47I...

00:21:51It's been another hour!

00:21:53Where the hell is my plane?

00:21:54Are you running a business or a circus?

00:21:56Mr. Sterling, my sincerest apologies.

00:21:58We ran into a small technical issue,

00:22:00but it's being handled as we speak.

00:22:01We'll be there shortly.

00:22:06President Gray, Victor's getting impatient.

00:22:08Hurry and enter the code.

00:22:11I don't have it.

00:22:15What?

00:22:16You don't have the code?

00:22:24But this is a company asset.

00:22:27How do you not have the code?

00:22:31Well,

00:22:32Veronica always handled the jet.

00:22:35Veronica, right!

00:22:36Get her!

00:22:37She can unlock it!

00:22:47Veronica!

00:22:48Stop goggling and get over here!

00:22:50Unlock the plane!

00:22:51Now!

00:22:53Unlock?

00:22:54I don't know what you're talking about.

00:22:55Stop playing dumb with me!

00:22:57The jet's locked!

00:22:58It won't move!

00:23:00It won't move?

00:23:01That's terrible!

00:23:02But what does it have to do with me?

00:23:04I'm not a mechanic.

00:23:05You should call maintenance.

00:23:06It's not broken.

00:23:07It's locked.

00:23:08Fix it now!

00:23:09If we miss Victor and lose this deal,

00:23:11I'll personally hold you responsible.

00:23:13That's strange, President Gray,

00:23:15because I distinctly remember you giving Ava

00:23:17full control of the jet.

00:23:18So why am I suddenly being called in to save the day?

00:23:21President Gray already told us

00:23:23you were the one managing the jet!

00:23:25I get it now.

00:23:26You're bitter because I replaced you,

00:23:28so you're trying to sabotage our deal with Victor!

00:23:34Exactly.

00:23:35I'm sabotaging you.

00:23:37What are you going to do about it?

00:23:41Veronica, you're trying to destroy this firm!

00:23:44You're risking our entire future

00:23:46just to settle a personal grudge!

00:23:49What does the firm have to do with me?

00:23:50I'm suspended, remember?

00:23:52You're the operations director now.

00:23:54If something's gone wrong, that's your problem, not mine.

00:23:58You!

00:23:59Veronica!

00:24:00I'm ordering you.

00:24:02Stop this nonsense and unlock the plane.

00:24:05Right now.

00:24:07And who are you to order me around?

00:24:10I am your boss.

00:24:12Interesting.

00:24:13Since when does being a boss

00:24:15entitle you to my private jet?

00:24:17Oh, please.

00:24:18That's a company jet, and everyone knows it!

00:24:20How is it suddenly yours?

00:24:29Do yourself a favor.

00:24:33Open your eyes and read the owner's name.

00:24:45How is this possible?

00:24:55How is this possible?

00:24:57Because it's my jet.

00:24:58I decide when it flies,

00:25:00I decide when it stays grounded.

00:25:02And right now,

00:25:04it's staying right where it is.

00:25:06No.

00:25:07No way.

00:25:08That's impossible.

00:25:09This jet belonged to the company.

00:25:12You forged that document.

00:25:13You had to.

00:25:15Forged?

00:25:16Then go ahead, ask your president.

00:25:18Ask her if she has the guts

00:25:20to stand here and tell everyone

00:25:21that jet belongs to her.

00:25:23Don't push me!

00:25:24I can fire you right here!

00:25:26Right now!

00:25:26That'd be fantastic.

00:25:28I've been dying to get out of this dump.

00:25:31Honestly, you'd be doing me a favor.

00:25:33You...

00:25:33You little...

00:25:45Rebecca, your jet never came,

00:25:47so I took mine.

00:25:49Should I assume you're no longer

00:25:51interested in doing business?

00:25:52Mr. Sterling,

00:25:54I am so sorry.

00:25:55We ran into an unexpected issue

00:25:57with the jet,

00:25:57but everything's under control now.

00:25:59That's not the point.

00:26:00I cleared my schedule

00:26:01and waited over an hour.

00:26:02My time is money, Ms. Gray.

00:26:04Or do you think yours

00:26:05is worth more than mine?

00:26:06No, no, sir!

00:26:08That's not what I meant

00:26:08if you just let me explain!

00:26:10Save it.

00:26:11If it weren't for Ronica,

00:26:12I would have walked away already.

00:26:23Miss Belton!

00:26:25It's been far too long.

00:26:27It's nice to see you too, Victor.

00:26:29Come on.

00:26:30Let's get out of here

00:26:31and talk business.

00:26:32I'm afraid that won't be possible.

00:26:34What do you mean?

00:26:35President Gray fired me

00:26:36a few minutes ago.

00:26:39What?

00:26:43Rebecca, what the hell is this?

00:26:46Veronica's track record

00:26:47is the only reason

00:26:48I was willing to consider

00:26:49this partnership.

00:26:50Mr. Sterling!

00:26:52This is all just

00:26:53a misunderstanding.

00:26:54Where's the misunderstanding?

00:26:56Did she not get fired?

00:26:58Mr. Sterling,

00:26:59Veronica was fired

00:27:00for abusing company privileges.

00:27:02She took the company jet

00:27:03without permission.

00:27:03Permission?

00:27:04Unless I'm mistaken,

00:27:05that gross dream

00:27:06belongs to Miss Veronica.

00:27:08Mr. Sterling,

00:27:09she's lied to you.

00:27:09That plane is company property.

00:27:11Ava!

00:27:12Shut your mouth!

00:27:19Veronica,

00:27:20explain this to Mr. Sterling.

00:27:22Please don't air our dirty laundry

00:27:24in front of an investor!

00:27:26Wait.

00:27:27That jet actually belonged

00:27:29to Veronica?

00:27:29Now you're worried

00:27:30about appearances?

00:27:32Where was that concern

00:27:33when you humiliated me

00:27:34in front of the entire company?

00:27:36When you let an intern

00:27:37step on me like dirt?

00:27:38Connie, we've been friends forever.

00:27:40Please, just do this for me.

00:27:42Friends don't stab each other

00:27:44in the back.

00:27:45As of today,

00:27:46you, me, and this company

00:27:47have nothing to do

00:27:47with one another.

00:27:49Rebecca, you've wasted my time.

00:27:51Veronica's the only reason

00:27:52I agreed to work together.

00:27:54Without her,

00:27:55I have no interest

00:27:55in doing business

00:27:56with your firm.

00:27:58Mr. Sterling, please,

00:27:59don't hasty.

00:28:00We can still make this work.

00:28:01We can renegotiate the terms.

00:28:04Veronica lent you

00:28:05her jet for free

00:28:06and you thanked her

00:28:07by firing her.

00:28:08If that's how you treat

00:28:08your best people,

00:28:09why would I trust you

00:28:10with my money?

00:28:11Veronica,

00:28:12I happen to have

00:28:13a very promising new project.

00:28:15Will you be interested?

00:28:17Mr. Sterling,

00:28:18please,

00:28:19give it another chance.

00:28:22Here's a free piece

00:28:22of advice, Ms. Gray.

00:28:24Character comes before business

00:28:25and yours is bankrupt.

00:28:33President Gray,

00:28:34we've got problem.

00:28:35A bunch of people

00:28:36just stormed the office.

00:28:36They're tearing the place apart.

00:28:37You need to get back there now.

00:28:39What?

00:28:55What the hell is this?

00:28:58Who let you people in here?

00:29:00Get out

00:29:01or I'm calling the cops.

00:29:03Ms. Gray,

00:29:04I represent the owner

00:29:05of this property.

00:29:06I've been instructed

00:29:06to turn this floor

00:29:07over to a new tenant.

00:29:09Mr. Jack here

00:29:10will be taking possession today.

00:29:12A new tenant?

00:29:14What the hell

00:29:14are you talking about?

00:29:15This floor belongs

00:29:16to my company.

00:29:17It did,

00:29:18but your lease expired

00:29:19a few days ago.

00:29:20Since it wasn't renewed,

00:29:21you're required

00:29:22to vacate immediately

00:29:23or will proceed

00:29:24with a formal eviction.

00:29:25The lease expired?

00:29:27Why wasn't it renewed?

00:29:30The lease was always

00:29:31handled personally

00:29:32by President Gray.

00:29:34I don't know what happened.

00:29:36President Gray,

00:29:38call the landlord.

00:29:39There has to be

00:29:39some mistake.

00:29:41We're weeks away

00:29:41from going public.

00:29:42We can't lose this office.

00:29:46Ta-da!

00:29:48This entire floor

00:29:48belongs to my family.

00:29:49I'm renting it

00:29:50to the company

00:29:50at half price.

00:29:51Now we can build

00:29:52the business

00:29:52from the heart

00:29:53of Manhattan.

00:29:54Ronnie,

00:29:54you're the best friend

00:29:55anyone could ask for.

00:29:56I promise,

00:29:57once the company

00:29:57takes off,

00:29:58I'll pay back

00:29:58every penny

00:29:59plus interest.

00:30:00Oh, God.

00:30:01I almost forgot.

00:30:02The landlord

00:30:03is Veronica.

00:30:07Rebecca,

00:30:08everyone's telling you

00:30:09to call the landlord.

00:30:10What's taking so long?

00:30:12Veronica!

00:30:13Why are you still here?

00:30:15You were fired!

00:30:16Leave!

00:30:17Now!

00:30:18Watch your tone.

00:30:20Miss Veronica

00:30:20owns this floor.

00:30:21She has every right

00:30:22to be here.

00:30:24She's the landlord?

00:30:27No way!

00:30:28Veronica's just an employee.

00:30:30How could she possibly

00:30:31own a floor

00:30:31in a building like this?

00:30:33Maybe you could ask

00:30:34your dear President Gray.

00:30:35He knows exactly

00:30:36who owns this floor.

00:30:40You already took

00:30:41our biggest investor.

00:30:42Now you're trying

00:30:43to take our office too?

00:30:44Don't push it!

00:30:46Push it?

00:30:47This floor is mine.

00:30:48I can take it back

00:30:49whenever I want.

00:30:50Or are you about to tell me

00:30:51this building belongs

00:30:52to the company too?

00:30:54You?

00:30:55We've been paying rent

00:30:57on this floor for years!

00:30:58Yes.

00:30:59And your lease expired.

00:31:01Fine.

00:31:02I get it.

00:31:03You want money.

00:31:04We'll renew the lease.

00:31:05Great.

00:31:06That'd be

00:31:07two million a year.

00:31:09Two million?

00:31:11Have you lost your mind?

00:31:12We were paying

00:31:13one million!

00:31:16You've got to be

00:31:17kidding me.

00:31:18This is prime

00:31:19Manhattan real estate.

00:31:20Market rates

00:31:21well over three million.

00:31:22Two million

00:31:23is a steal.

00:31:25If you can't afford it,

00:31:26I'll take it.

00:31:27Now pack your shit

00:31:28and get out.

00:31:30No, you can't do this.

00:31:31If we lose this office,

00:31:33where are we supposed to go?

00:31:33We're not leaving!

00:31:35not leaving?

00:31:37They don't blame my boys

00:31:38for helping you out.

00:31:45Easy, Jack.

00:31:46They're not worth

00:31:47an assault charge

00:31:47just to throw their things

00:31:48and escort them out.

00:31:50You got it,

00:31:51Miss Veronica.

00:31:51Start moving!

00:31:57Veronica,

00:31:57if you're angry,

00:31:58take it out on me.

00:31:59We don't punish

00:32:00everyone else.

00:32:00These people have

00:32:01mortgages,

00:32:01kids,

00:32:03families depending

00:32:03on them.

00:32:06She's right,

00:32:07Vice President Belton.

00:32:08I have kids.

00:32:09I can't lose my job.

00:32:10We've worked together

00:32:11for years.

00:32:12Please don't do this.

00:32:13Now you care?

00:32:14Where were all of you

00:32:15when Ava was humiliating me?

00:32:17When I was getting

00:32:17thrown under the bus?

00:32:19Nobody said a word then.

00:32:21Veronica,

00:32:21are you trying

00:32:22to ruin me?

00:32:23No.

00:32:24You did that yourself.

00:32:26You tried to steal my jet.

00:32:28You tried to push me out.

00:32:30This is the consequence.

00:32:32You,

00:32:33you bitch!

00:32:35Say whatever you want!

00:32:36I'm not going anywhere!

00:32:38And if anyone lays

00:32:39a finger on me,

00:32:40I'm calling the cops!

00:32:42That's right.

00:32:43We're staying.

00:32:44Let's see what

00:32:44you're gonna do about it.

00:32:45Jesus Christ.

00:32:46I've met some

00:32:47shameless people,

00:32:48but you two are

00:32:48in a league of their own.

00:32:49I ought to teach you

00:32:50a damn last...

00:32:51Not worth getting

00:32:51your hands dirty.

00:32:52She wants to call the cops?

00:32:54I think that's a great idea.

00:32:57Hello, officer.

00:32:58I'd like to report

00:32:58trespassers refusing

00:32:59to leave my property.

00:33:00Could you send someone over?

00:33:07We've reviewed the lease.

00:33:09Miss Gray,

00:33:09your tenancy has expired.

00:33:11Legally,

00:33:11you no longer have the right

00:33:12to occupy this space.

00:33:13Officer,

00:33:13there has to be

00:33:14some misunderstanding.

00:33:15We've been here for years.

00:33:15It doesn't matter

00:33:15how long you've been here, miss.

00:33:17Your lease expired.

00:33:17However,

00:33:18you do have the option

00:33:19to renew if the landlord agrees.

00:33:20Okay, we'll renew.

00:33:20We'll do it right now.

00:33:22Sure.

00:33:23Three million.

00:33:24What?

00:33:25You just said two million.

00:33:27You stressed me out.

00:33:29So the price went up.

00:33:31Officer,

00:33:32are you hearing this?

00:33:33She raises the rent

00:33:34by a million dollars

00:33:35in five minutes.

00:33:37That must be illegal.

00:33:38Miss,

00:33:39it's her property.

00:33:41She can charge

00:33:42whatever she wants.

00:33:44Pay up or get out, lady.

00:33:46Office space

00:33:46in this part of Manhattan

00:33:47is practically impossible to find.

00:33:49If you can't afford it,

00:33:50I'll take it.

00:33:50Who said I can't afford it?

00:33:52I'll pay!

00:33:54Veronica,

00:33:55can't you cut me a little slack

00:33:57after everything

00:33:57we've been through together?

00:34:00You know what?

00:34:00For old time's sake,

00:34:02I'll knock off 10 grand.

00:34:03Let's call it 2.99 million.

00:34:05Veronica,

00:34:06this is insane!

00:34:07Maybe.

00:34:08But it's still my building.

00:34:11Get me the money in three days

00:34:12or pack your shit

00:34:13and get the hell out.

00:34:16You,

00:34:17you little...

00:34:18Fine,

00:34:19enjoy this while you can.

00:34:20Trust me,

00:34:21this company will do

00:34:21just fine without you.

00:34:23Then what's the problem?

00:34:24If the company's doing so great,

00:34:25pay me my money.

00:34:26Now!

00:34:28Just wait!

00:34:30You're gonna regret this!

00:34:31Oh, I already do.

00:34:33I regret not realizing sooner

00:34:35that you're nothing

00:34:35but an ungrateful,

00:34:37backstabbing little snake.

00:34:38How dare you talk

00:34:39to President Gray like that!

00:34:40She made you VP!

00:34:42She trusted you,

00:34:42promoted you,

00:34:43stood by you!

00:34:44You're the ungrateful one!

00:34:45Look at that.

00:34:47Such a loyal lapdog.

00:34:49Getting screwed over

00:34:50and still begging

00:34:50for another kick.

00:34:51Three days, Rebecca.

00:34:53That's all you've got.

00:34:59Stone-cold bitch!

00:35:00After everything

00:35:01we've been through

00:35:02and she would do this to me,

00:35:03kick me while I'm down?

00:35:04What do we do now,

00:35:05President?

00:35:05When all our cash

00:35:06is tied up in production,

00:35:07we don't have three million.

00:35:08Are we really getting

00:35:09thrown out in three days?

00:35:10Are you seriously asking me?

00:35:12None of this would have happened

00:35:14if you hadn't gone after

00:35:15Veronica and that damn jet!

00:35:18But you were the one

00:35:19who told me someone

00:35:20was abusing the company jet

00:35:21and ordered me investigate.

00:35:23How is this suddenly

00:35:24all my fault?

00:35:25I told you to investigate,

00:35:27not start a war with Veronica.

00:35:29Now our biggest client is gone

00:35:30and we're losing the office

00:35:31and it's all because of you!

00:35:34fix this mess

00:35:36fast

00:35:36or start packing your shit

00:35:38and get out!

00:35:52Veronica, this isn't over.

00:35:54Victor isn't the only client

00:35:55in the damn world!

00:36:03Steven, that venture you mentioned,

00:36:05we're very interested.

00:36:07Mr. Butler, hello, Rebecca here.

00:36:09Mr. Chan?

00:36:10Rebecca Gray?

00:36:11Yes, that's right.

00:36:13Any chance you're free for dinner?

00:36:15I'd love to discuss.

00:36:16Our IPO is moving ahead

00:36:18as planned.

00:36:19Perfect.

00:36:20I wanted to follow up

00:36:21on your interest investing.

00:36:23Absolutely.

00:36:24All myself available anytime.

00:36:26See you tonight.

00:36:32As long as I lock down these deals,

00:36:34especially Butler's investment,

00:36:35we'll still go public.

00:36:37And when we do, Veronica,

00:36:39you'll regret ever crossing me.

00:36:46No, no.

00:36:47If morale collapses,

00:36:48the firm's finished.

00:36:49I can't let that happen.

00:36:52Pathetic.

00:36:53The second things go wrong,

00:36:55she falls apart.

00:36:56Maybe I should just fire her.

00:36:57No, no.

00:36:59No.

00:36:59Then again,

00:37:00why waste a perfectly good asset?

00:37:03I remember Butler has a weakness

00:37:04for young, pretty women.

00:37:05She's dumb as a brick,

00:37:07but she's not hard on the eyes.

00:37:14President Gray,

00:37:16I'm trying to figure something out.

00:37:18Hey,

00:37:18I didn't think the prodigy

00:37:20I handpicked was this fragile.

00:37:22You're not mad at me anymore?

00:37:24Oh, sweetheart.

00:37:25I was never mad at you.

00:37:27I'm just frustrated

00:37:28with the situation

00:37:29that backstabbing bitch

00:37:30Veronica put in.

00:37:34President Gray.

00:37:35Honestly,

00:37:36I admire your integrity.

00:37:37You're brave enough

00:37:38to call out what's wrong

00:37:39even when nobody else will.

00:37:41That's what makes you so special.

00:37:47Everybody,

00:37:48stop what you're doing

00:37:48and come here for a second.

00:37:51I have two announcements to make.

00:37:53First,

00:37:54about Veronica.

00:37:55That ungrateful snake

00:37:56stabbed this company in the back.

00:37:58She stole our biggest client

00:38:00and tried to squeeze us

00:38:01with a rent hike

00:38:01when we were already under pressure.

00:38:07But here's the good news.

00:38:09We're not sinking

00:38:09just because she jumped chef.

00:38:11I've already lined up meetings

00:38:12with several major clients.

00:38:14If we land these deals,

00:38:15our IPO stays on track.

00:38:16And when that happens,

00:38:18everyone here

00:38:18gets a double bonus.

00:38:22Double bonuses?

00:38:23Really?

00:38:24I knew Rebecca would pull through

00:38:26to hell with Veronica.

00:38:27Exactly.

00:38:28The company is better off without her.

00:38:30You better believe it's true.

00:38:31I'll be closing these deals

00:38:32myself tonight.

00:38:34Veronica thinks this company

00:38:35rises and falls with her.

00:38:36She's delusional.

00:38:38Now get back to work.

00:38:39We've got an IPO to win.

00:38:42President Gray!

00:38:44President!

00:38:45All right,

00:38:46enough tears.

00:38:47Go freshen up.

00:38:48You're coming with me tonight

00:38:48to meet some big clients.

00:38:49Yes!

00:38:50Of course!

00:38:51Thank you, President Gray!

00:38:53She's taking me

00:38:54to meet clients?

00:38:55I knew she had

00:38:56big plans for me.

00:38:57This is my time to shine.

00:39:02Mr. Jack,

00:39:03thanks for having my back today.

00:39:05Sorry you have to wait

00:39:06a little longer.

00:39:07But I promise,

00:39:08in three days,

00:39:09this floor will be yours.

00:39:10That's what I like to hear.

00:39:11I'll be waiting

00:39:12for the good news,

00:39:12Miss Veronica.

00:39:18Sorry you had to sit

00:39:19through all that, Victor.

00:39:20It's been too long.

00:39:21Let me make it up

00:39:22to you over dinner.

00:39:23Sounds good.

00:39:24Lead the way.

00:39:28That was quite a show today.

00:39:30If you don't mind me saying so,

00:39:32Rebecca's true colors

00:39:33are not flattering.

00:39:34No kidding.

00:39:35It's a shame

00:39:36it took me this long

00:39:36to see them.

00:39:38Better late than never.

00:39:40But I'm curious.

00:39:42If Rebecca somehow

00:39:43comes up with the money

00:39:44in three days,

00:39:45are you really giving her

00:39:45the office back?

00:39:47Well, I own the floor.

00:39:48Whether she stays or goes

00:39:50depends entirely

00:39:51on my mood that day.

00:39:53Veronica,

00:39:54you're playing with her,

00:39:55aren't you?

00:39:55I've never claimed

00:39:56to be a saint.

00:39:57They made my life hell.

00:39:58Now it's my turn

00:39:59to return the praver.

00:40:03Excuse me, Victor.

00:40:04I need to take this.

00:40:06Miss Beltam,

00:40:07we've finished

00:40:08gathering the evidence

00:40:09regarding Rebecca's

00:40:10misloose of your assets.

00:40:12Shall we file?

00:40:15Hold off for now.

00:40:16A lawsuit alone

00:40:17is letting them off

00:40:18too easy.

00:40:19What do you have in mind?

00:40:20I'm a bit busy right now.

00:40:21I'll call you later.

00:40:23What is it?

00:40:24Planning another surprise

00:40:25for Rebecca?

00:40:26You could say that.

00:40:28By the time I'm done,

00:40:29Rebecca will regret

00:40:30every decision she's made.

00:40:32I'm sorry, Victor.

00:40:33I'm afraid I'll have

00:40:34to cut dinner short.

00:40:35No worries.

00:40:36Anything you need,

00:40:37just call.

00:40:37You're a valued partner,

00:40:39Brenica.

00:40:39Think carefully

00:40:40about that project

00:40:41I mentioned.

00:40:42I will.

00:40:43Thanks, Victor.

00:40:44See you soon.

00:40:47Remarkable woman.

00:40:49Sharp.

00:40:50Decisive.

00:40:51Never waste time.

00:40:54Mr. Sterling?

00:40:55Mr. Butler just called.

00:40:56He heard you're in New York.

00:40:58Coincidentally,

00:40:58he's attending a dinner

00:40:59here tonight

00:40:59and would like you to join.

00:41:01Oh?

00:41:03Who's hosting?

00:41:04Rebecca Gray.

00:41:05She's moving fast.

00:41:07Already chasing Butler's money.

00:41:09Looks like she's trying

00:41:10to lock down his investment.

00:41:11If she pull it off,

00:41:13she might just keep

00:41:14Echelon afloat.

00:41:15Tell Butler I won't

00:41:16be able to make it.

00:41:17Yes, sir.

00:41:18And one more thing,

00:41:19bring Butler up to speed

00:41:20on today's events.

00:41:21Everything Rebecca did

00:41:22to Verenica,

00:41:22don't leave out a single detail.

00:41:24Yes, sir.

00:41:27Rebecca,

00:41:29what goes around

00:41:30always comes around.

00:41:34Rebecca,

00:41:35it's been too long.

00:41:36I swear you get more beautiful

00:41:37every time I see you.

00:41:38Oh, Mr. Chan,

00:41:39you're making me blush.

00:41:41Come on, everyone.

00:41:42Let's enjoy ourselves tonight.

00:41:43Rebecca,

00:41:44who's this gorgeous young lady?

00:41:46She's absolutely breathtaking.

00:41:48Just as I thought,

00:41:49the honey old bastard

00:41:50is walking right into it.

00:41:52Keep Ava smiling at him

00:41:53and that investment is mine.

00:41:55Veronica,

00:41:55you won't beat me.

00:41:57Mr. Butler,

00:41:58this is Ava,

00:41:59our newly appointed

00:42:00Director of Operations.

00:42:01Going forward,

00:42:02she'll be your primary

00:42:03point of contact.

00:42:04How does that sound?

00:42:05Wonderful.

00:42:06Miss Ava is quite impressive

00:42:07and remarkably young.

00:42:09By the way,

00:42:10where's Veronica?

00:42:11Yeah, isn't Veronica

00:42:12usually the one

00:42:13running these meetings?

00:42:14That's right,

00:42:15I've always worked

00:42:15directly with Veronica.

00:42:16Why isn't she here tonight?

00:42:17Oh, Veronica had

00:42:18a personal matter come up.

00:42:20She couldn't make it tonight,

00:42:21but don't worry,

00:42:21I'll take good care

00:42:22of everyone myself.

00:42:23What are you standing around for?

00:42:25Go pour Mr. Butler a drink?

00:42:31Hey, what the hell?

00:42:33Ava,

00:42:33what the hell is wrong with you?

00:42:35Why are you making a scene?

00:42:36President Gray,

00:42:37he touched me.

00:42:38Enough.

00:42:39Mr. Butler is one

00:42:40of our most important investors.

00:42:42He was just joking around.

00:42:43What's the big deal?

00:42:44If you upset him

00:42:45and cost us this investment,

00:42:46you'll be the one paying for it.

00:42:54I'm sorry, Mr. Butler.

00:42:55Then stop standing there

00:42:56and pour Mr. Butler

00:42:57another drink.

00:43:06Mr. Butler,

00:43:07as you know,

00:43:08we're entering the final stride

00:43:09before our IPO.

00:43:10About that additional investment

00:43:12you mentioned?

00:43:13You're putting me

00:43:13in a tough spot.

00:43:14My last investment

00:43:15hasn't exactly paid off yet.

00:43:19Mr. Butler,

00:43:21we're this close

00:43:21to going public.

00:43:23One more round of funding

00:43:24and you'll be looking

00:43:25at a massive return.

00:43:29You may have a point.

00:43:31Veronica was always impressive.

00:43:33With someone like her

00:43:34running things,

00:43:35success seems inevitable.

00:43:37Maybe I could put in

00:43:38a little more.

00:43:45You fired Veronica?

00:43:50Mr. Butler,

00:43:51please,

00:43:51let me explain.

00:43:52Explain what?

00:43:53Everyone in our circle

00:43:54is talking about it.

00:43:55You stabbed Veronica

00:43:56in the back.

00:43:56She let you use her private jet

00:43:58to impress clients

00:43:58and you tried to steal it from her?

00:44:00You fired the woman

00:44:01who built this company

00:44:02and replaced her

00:44:02with some dumb bimbo intern?

00:44:04I can't believe

00:44:04someone can be this stupid.

00:44:05He's right.

00:44:07We all know that

00:44:07Gulfstream belongs to Veronica.

00:44:09That's a hell of a way

00:44:10to repay someone.

00:44:11Mr. Butler,

00:44:12Mr. Chan,

00:44:13you've got it all wrong.

00:44:14Veronica broke

00:44:14company policy first.

00:44:16That's-

00:44:16Please!

00:44:17Without Veronica,

00:44:18this company has O'Value.

00:44:19I invested in her,

00:44:20not whatever this circus

00:44:21is supposed to be.

00:44:22You killed the golden goose,

00:44:24Rebecca,

00:44:24and now the eggs

00:44:25stopped coming.

00:44:26My money's out

00:44:26first thing tomorrow.

00:44:28Mr. Butler,

00:44:29please.

00:44:30Veronica may be gone,

00:44:31but the team is still here.

00:44:32We can still deliver.

00:44:33Deliver what?

00:44:34I've had money

00:44:34and you're tied up

00:44:35for months

00:44:35and haven't seen a dime back.

00:44:37The only reason I stayed in

00:44:38was because I trusted Veronica.

00:44:39Ava,

00:44:40don't just stand there.

00:44:42Beg.

00:44:42Mr. Butler,

00:44:44please don't leave.

00:44:45Just give us

00:44:46one more chance.

00:44:47Mr. Butler,

00:44:48if you keep your investment,

00:44:50Ava is yours for tonight.

00:44:52She'll do anything you want.

00:44:54President Gray,

00:44:55what did you say?

00:44:58President Gray,

00:44:59you can't be serious.

00:45:01Do it for the company.

00:45:02Get Butler's investment

00:45:03and I'll make you VP.

00:45:04And let's be honest,

00:45:05he's one of the most

00:45:05powerful players on Wall Street.

00:45:07You could do a lot worse.

00:45:09That's right, Mr. Butler.

00:45:11Whatever you want tonight,

00:45:12I'm at your service.

00:45:14Jesus Christ.

00:45:15You two really have no shame.

00:45:17Sure, I like beautiful women.

00:45:18What man doesn't?

00:45:19But do I look stupid enough

00:45:20to throw away millions

00:45:21for a bimbo?

00:45:26You've really hit rock bottom.

00:45:28Primping out your own

00:45:29employee for money?

00:45:30That's disgusting.

00:45:32Exactly.

00:45:32You betrayed the partner

00:45:33who helped build your company.

00:45:34Who's to say we won't be next?

00:45:36Wait.

00:45:37Please don't go.

00:45:38We can renegotiate.

00:45:39Whatever terms you want,

00:45:40we'll make it work.

00:45:40Don't walk away.

00:45:41Rebecca,

00:45:42money comes and goes.

00:45:43The character doesn't.

00:45:44I wouldn't trust you

00:45:45with a damn penny.

00:45:49Why does everyone

00:45:51believe that bitch

00:45:51instead of me?

00:45:52I'm the president.

00:45:53I built this company.

00:45:57Rebecca,

00:45:58please calm down.

00:45:59We still have plenty

00:45:59of clients in the pipeline.

00:46:01And once those final payments

00:46:02come in next month,

00:46:03we'll be fine.

00:46:03We'll have the rent money.

00:46:05You're right.

00:46:06We still have money coming in.

00:46:09Veronica,

00:46:11don't think this company

00:46:12can't survive without you.

00:46:14I'm not losing.

00:46:15Not to you.

00:46:19Miss Belton,

00:46:20these are the legal filings

00:46:21against Rebecca

00:46:22and her company.

00:46:23Please have a look.

00:46:24Thank you for coming out

00:46:25this late, Mr. Davis.

00:46:26Just doing my job.

00:46:27As for the damage

00:46:28Ava caused,

00:46:29I've had everything appraised.

00:46:30Total damages

00:46:31come to $8.5 million.

00:46:32We'll be seeking

00:46:33full compensation.

00:46:34Excellent.

00:46:35And the office lease?

00:46:36Recovering the discounted rent

00:46:37will be difficult.

00:46:38You agreed to those terms

00:46:39voluntarily.

00:46:39However,

00:46:40for the past three years,

00:46:41you've personally covered

00:46:42utilities,

00:46:42maintenance,

00:46:43and building expenses.

00:46:44We can recover every penny.

00:46:46Good.

00:46:46But I want to add

00:46:47one more claim.

00:46:48I'm suing for defamation.

00:46:50This notice branded me a thief

00:46:51and dragged my name

00:46:52through the mud.

00:46:53I want them held accountable

00:46:54for every word.

00:46:55Absolutely.

00:46:56This is textbook defamation.

00:46:57They presented

00:46:57fabricated allegations as fact.

00:46:59They're going down.

00:47:00Perfect.

00:47:01File everything immediately.

00:47:03I want Rebecca paying back

00:47:04every cent she owes me.

00:47:05With interest.

00:47:06Understood.

00:47:07I'll work through the night

00:47:08and file first thing tomorrow.

00:47:14President Gray,

00:47:15these are the files

00:47:16for all our key accounts.

00:47:17I've organized everything

00:47:18for you.

00:47:19Good.

00:47:20As long as we keep

00:47:21these clients,

00:47:22the final payments

00:47:22should clear within two weeks.

00:47:23That'll buy us

00:47:24some breathing room.

00:47:25But Veronica only gave us

00:47:26three days.

00:47:27Are we really going to get

00:47:27kicked out?

00:47:28Absolutely not.

00:47:29If we get thrown out,

00:47:30we'll be the laughingstock

00:47:31of the industry.

00:47:32It's only three million.

00:47:33I'll get a loan if I have to.

00:47:35Once the payments come in,

00:47:36we'll pay it back.

00:47:37President!

00:47:38This is bad.

00:47:39Really bad.

00:47:40Would everyone stop panicking

00:47:42for five damn minutes?

00:47:43What happened now?

00:47:44All our major clients

00:47:45just called.

00:47:46They want out.

00:47:46They're terminating

00:47:47their contracts.

00:47:49What?

00:47:52What the hell happened?

00:47:53Everything was fine yesterday.

00:47:55Because they were

00:47:56Veronica's clients.

00:47:57Every single one.

00:47:58She brought them in

00:47:59through her own connections.

00:48:00The whole industry knows

00:48:01you fired Veronica

00:48:02and tried to take her jet.

00:48:03They don't trust this company anymore.

00:48:04So they're bailing.

00:48:05Veronica again!

00:48:07This is all because of that bitch!

00:48:09President Gray,

00:48:10we're screwed!

00:48:12Fendler just sent formal notice.

00:48:13He's pulling his investment

00:48:15and he wants his 10 million

00:48:16back immediately.

00:48:18He's pulling out?

00:48:1910 million?

00:48:20Can he do that?

00:48:21Somebody call him

00:48:22and work something out.

00:48:23We can't get a hold of him.

00:48:24Veronica always handled

00:48:25Butler personally.

00:48:26I've barely spoken to the man.

00:48:28His lawyers are already involved.

00:48:29If we don't return 10 million

00:48:31within three days,

00:48:32they're taking us to court!

00:48:35We're screwed.

00:48:36We can't even cover rent

00:48:37and now we owe 10 million dollars?

00:48:39Forget the IPO.

00:48:39At this rate,

00:48:40we'll be bankrupt within weeks.

00:48:41I'm updating my resume tonight.

00:48:42Everybody shut up!

00:48:44This company isn't dead yet.

00:48:46I'm still standing here,

00:48:47aren't I?

00:48:52Who are you people?

00:49:00Rebecca Gray?

00:49:02Y-yes, that's me.

00:49:03We're with the Manhattan District Court.

00:49:05Ms. Belton has filed suit

00:49:06against you and your company.

00:49:07The claims include

00:49:08unlawful possession

00:49:09of private property,

00:49:10property damage,

00:49:11and defamation.

00:49:11Please accept service.

00:49:12Your court date in three days.

00:49:18What?

00:49:19Veronica actually sued me?

00:49:20Please sign here, Ms. Gray.

00:49:26So this is how far

00:49:27you're willing to take it?

00:49:28You want to destroy me?

00:49:30You want war?

00:49:31Fine.

00:49:32See you in court, bitch.

00:49:34This fight isn't over!

00:49:36Win?

00:49:37With what?

00:49:38Everything Verinica's suing over

00:49:39is backed by hard evidence.

00:49:40You're dead in the water.

00:49:41We can't afford this.

00:49:42The damages,

00:49:43the rent,

00:49:43the legal fees.

00:49:44We're screwed.

00:49:47Everyone, calm down.

00:49:49President Gray has gotten us

00:49:50through worse.

00:49:51If we stick together,

00:49:52we'll get through this too.

00:49:53And once the company goes public,

00:49:54we'll all be rewarded.

00:49:56You seriously have the nerve

00:49:57to say that?

00:49:58If you hadn't messed with Veronica,

00:50:00this company wouldn't be

00:50:00falling apart.

00:50:01Exactly!

00:50:02You spent three months

00:50:03kissing ass and climbing the ladder?

00:50:05Well, congrats!

00:50:06You got your promotion

00:50:07and you dragged

00:50:07the whole company down with you!

00:50:09Why is everyone blaming me?

00:50:10I reported Veronica

00:50:11because I was protecting the company.

00:50:13How was I supposed to know

00:50:14the jet was hers?

00:50:15Didn't you think to check the facts

00:50:16before blowing everything up?

00:50:17Everything started with you.

00:50:19Own it!

00:50:19I didn't know the jet was hers,

00:50:20but you have been with the company

00:50:22long enough to know.

00:50:23Why didn't any of you

00:50:24stand up for her?

00:50:24If just one person had,

00:50:25none of this would have happened!

00:50:27We knew.

00:50:27But so did President Gray.

00:50:29So what are you saying?

00:50:29That this is Rebecca's fault?

00:50:34No!

00:50:35President Gray,

00:50:36I swear,

00:50:37that's not what I meant!

00:50:41No,

00:50:42that's not what I meant.

00:50:43If that's not what you meant,

00:50:45then this mess is on you.

00:50:46Exactly.

00:50:46You've got two options.

00:50:48Either bring those clients back

00:50:49or bring Veronica back.

00:50:50Me?

00:50:51I just got promoted.

00:50:52I don't know any clients.

00:50:54How am I supposed to bring them back?

00:50:55Then go get Veronica.

00:50:57Why should I be the one begging her?

00:50:59Because this company

00:50:59is about to go under.

00:51:01You're the new operations director.

00:51:02If you can't bring Veronica back,

00:51:03then that's on you.

00:51:06President Gray,

00:51:08are you hearing this?

00:51:09What's that supposed to mean,

00:51:10Director Sutton?

00:51:11You make the mess,

00:51:12then expect the president

00:51:12to clean it up for you?

00:51:13No,

00:51:14that's not what I meant.

00:51:15The company is out of options.

00:51:17Cash flow is collapsing.

00:51:18Clients are gone.

00:51:19Veronica is the only person

00:51:20who can save us now.

00:51:22Let's see if this idiot

00:51:22can fix the disaster she created.

00:51:25Enough!

00:51:25All of you!

00:51:27Ava,

00:51:27this started with you,

00:51:28so you'll fix it.

00:51:30Go bring Veronica back.

00:51:30But President...

00:51:31Ava,

00:51:32I know this feels unfair,

00:51:33but it's for the company.

00:51:34Bring Veronica back.

00:51:35Help us survive.

00:51:36When we go public,

00:51:37I'll make you the VP.

00:51:43Good luck,

00:51:43Director Sutton.

00:51:44All of our livelihoods

00:51:45are riding hour now.

00:51:46Fine!

00:51:47I'll go!

00:51:48And when I bring Veronica back,

00:51:49let's see what all of you

00:51:50have to say then!

00:51:56Veronica,

00:51:57I'd say we've got a deal.

00:52:01Pleasure doing business

00:52:02with you,

00:52:03Victor.

00:52:08Hey,

00:52:08Veronica.

00:52:10Can we talk?

00:52:12Of course.

00:52:14Of course.

00:52:17Veronica,

00:52:18I'm sorry.

00:52:19I should have

00:52:20checked the facts

00:52:20before reporting you.

00:52:23I was wrong.

00:52:24Wow.

00:52:25What did Rebecca

00:52:26promise you this time?

00:52:28Must be one hell of a promotion

00:52:29to get an apology out of you.

00:52:31I mean it.

00:52:32I'm really sorry.

00:52:33Be mad at me if you want.

00:52:36But please,

00:52:37stop coming after the company.

00:52:39No.

00:52:41Veronica!

00:52:42Don't push it!

00:52:43I apologize!

00:52:44What else do you want from me?

00:52:46An apology?

00:52:47Ava,

00:52:48let's be honest.

00:52:49If I were still the Veronica

00:52:50you humiliated

00:52:51in front of the entire company,

00:52:52would you be here

00:52:53apologizing right now?

00:52:58You wouldn't.

00:53:00You'd be sitting in my office

00:53:01right now bragging

00:53:02about how you took down the VP.

00:53:04I was following company policy.

00:53:05I made a mistake.

00:53:07I should have looked

00:53:07into it more carefully.

00:53:08That's all.

00:53:10I haven't done

00:53:11anything wrong either.

00:53:12I'm taking back what's mine.

00:53:14I'm suing the people

00:53:15who wronged me.

00:53:16So tell me,

00:53:17what exactly

00:53:18do you think I owe you?

00:53:20You're unbelievably selfish.

00:53:22It's just a jet.

00:53:24Because of you

00:53:24the company's falling apart.

00:53:26You got your revenge.

00:53:28But what about everyone else?

00:53:30When the company collapses

00:53:31how are they supposed

00:53:32to support their families?

00:53:37I didn't destroy the company.

00:53:40you and Rekha did.

00:53:41The employees aren't my problem.

00:53:43And if the company goes under,

00:53:45they'll find another job.

00:53:47Just like I did.

00:53:52Miss Ava,

00:53:52you're still very young.

00:53:55What is that supposed to mean?

00:53:59Rebecca fed you a fairy tale

00:54:01and sent you here to beg.

00:54:03The sad part is,

00:54:05you bought it.

00:54:06Who the hell are you to judge me?

00:54:08I just wanted to prove myself.

00:54:10There's nothing wrong with ambition.

00:54:12The problem is stepping on people

00:54:13to get ahead.

00:54:14And when your ambition's bigger

00:54:16than your ability,

00:54:17you crash.

00:54:18You're saying

00:54:19I'm not good enough?

00:54:21If you are,

00:54:21you wouldn't have a company

00:54:22in three weeks.

00:54:23And you definitely

00:54:24wouldn't be here

00:54:24begging me to save it.

00:54:32Honestly,

00:54:32you're so painfully naive

00:54:33that I almost feel bad for you.

00:54:35So here's some free advice.

00:54:37Walk away from Rebecca.

00:54:39Quit today.

00:54:40Find a real company,

00:54:41start from the bottom,

00:54:42and learn how business

00:54:43actually works.

00:54:44No way.

00:54:45I work too hard

00:54:46to get where I am.

00:54:46I'm not going back

00:54:47to fetching coffee

00:54:48and making coffees.

00:54:49And stop pretending you care.

00:54:50If you're so great,

00:54:51come back.

00:54:52I'll give you your VP job

00:54:53back myself.

00:54:54Keep it.

00:54:55I'm building my own company.

00:54:57And we're done here.

00:54:59You can go now.

00:55:00You're a selfish bitch,

00:55:02Veronica.

00:55:02You think you're better

00:55:04than everyone

00:55:04because you're rich?

00:55:06Just wait.

00:55:07One day,

00:55:07you'll regret this.

00:55:14She really is Rebecca

00:55:15all over again.

00:55:17Arrogant,

00:55:17greedy,

00:55:18and far dumber

00:55:19than she realizes.

00:55:21They're not worth

00:55:22another minute of our time.

00:55:24Now, Victor,

00:55:25shall we get back

00:55:25to building something successful?

00:55:34Well?

00:55:35Did you see Veronica?

00:55:36Is she coming back?

00:55:38President Gray,

00:55:39I...

00:55:42You're useless!

00:55:43I made you,

00:55:43director!

00:55:44And you can't even

00:55:44handle one simple task?

00:55:46I tried.

00:55:46I apologized.

00:55:47I begged her,

00:55:48but she wouldn't listen.

00:55:49I don't care.

00:55:50If Veronica doesn't come back,

00:55:52this company is finished.

00:55:53Go find her again.

00:55:55If she won't listen,

00:55:55get on your knees.

00:55:56Stay there

00:55:57until she changes her mind.

00:56:01You want me to kneel

00:56:02to her?

00:56:04Damn right.

00:56:06This mess

00:56:06started with you.

00:56:08Now fix it!

00:56:09I don't care

00:56:10what you have to do!

00:56:11Just bring her back!

00:56:13I reported her

00:56:14because I thought

00:56:14I was protecting

00:56:15the company.

00:56:17Save it.

00:56:18I don't want excuses.

00:56:19You're the director now.

00:56:20Fix the damn problem!

00:56:23What now?

00:56:24Can't you see

00:56:25I'm in the middle

00:56:25of something?

00:56:28President Gray,

00:56:29three more employees

00:56:30from the business team

00:56:31just resigned.

00:56:32Unbelievable!

00:56:33A bunch of

00:56:34ungrateful cowards!

00:56:35The second things get tough,

00:56:36they run!

00:56:37President,

00:56:38everyone can see

00:56:39where this is headed.

00:56:40Without Veronica,

00:56:41this company won't survive.

00:56:42People have families

00:56:43to support.

00:56:43You can't really blame them.

00:56:45What's that supposed to mean?

00:56:46Are you quitting too?

00:56:48No, President.

00:56:49I don't want to leave.

00:56:50But given the situation,

00:56:53you and Veronica

00:56:53were best friends once.

00:56:55Ava couldn't convince her.

00:56:57Maybe

00:56:58you should try

00:56:59talking to her.

00:57:03You want me to beg

00:57:04that bitch?

00:57:05President Gray,

00:57:06it's our only chance.

00:57:08Put your pride aside.

00:57:09Give her a real apology.

00:57:11Remind her of everything

00:57:13you've been through together.

00:57:14She might listen.

00:57:15What the hell

00:57:16is that supposed to mean?

00:57:17We're running out of time.

00:57:18If more people quit,

00:57:19it won't matter

00:57:19whether Veronica

00:57:20comes back or not.

00:57:21By then,

00:57:21it'll be too late.

00:57:23Enough.

00:57:24Both of you, out.

00:57:25Let me think.

00:57:33Veronica,

00:57:33it's me.

00:57:35Fine.

00:57:36You won.

00:57:36I was wrong.

00:57:37You can come back now.

00:57:38Rebecca,

00:57:39is that really your idea

00:57:40of an apology?

00:57:42Veronica,

00:57:42I'm sorry.

00:57:43I know I messed up.

00:57:45Please,

00:57:45come back and help me.

00:57:46No.

00:57:47You're not sorry.

00:57:48You're just desperate.

00:57:49That's not true.

00:57:50I know I was wrong.

00:57:51If you want Ava gone,

00:57:53I'll fire her right now.

00:57:54Just say the word.

00:57:55Ronnie,

00:57:55please give me

00:57:56one more chance.

00:57:57I already gave you a chance.

00:57:58You threw it away.

00:58:00Veronica,

00:58:00just listen to me.

00:58:01I don't want to hear it.

00:58:03Save your excuses

00:58:03for the judge.

00:58:05Veronica,

00:58:06what the hell

00:58:07do you want from me?

00:58:08I swallowed my pride

00:58:09and apologized.

00:58:10Do you really have to

00:58:11drive me into the ground?

00:58:13Rebecca,

00:58:14let's be clear.

00:58:14I'm not destroying you.

00:58:15You did that yourself.

00:58:17Every mess you're in,

00:58:18you made it.

00:58:18This is insane.

00:58:19What do you get out

00:58:20of destroying the company?

00:58:21You spent three years

00:58:22building it too.

00:58:23Are you really willing

00:58:24to burn it all down?

00:58:25I never wanted

00:58:26to burn anything down.

00:58:27You lit the fire.

00:58:28You just didn't notice

00:58:29it until the flames

00:58:30reached you.

00:58:39I'm screwed.

00:58:40The company's falling apart

00:58:42and Rebecca will throw me

00:58:44under the bus

00:58:44the second she gets the chance.

00:58:46I'll never be able

00:58:47to get a job again.

00:58:50No.

00:58:51Hell no.

00:58:51I worked too hard

00:58:52for this job.

00:58:53I'm not going back

00:58:53to being some nobody.

00:58:57The company just needs money.

00:58:58That's it.

00:58:58If I can save the company,

00:59:01Rebecca won't dare fire me

00:59:02and then everyone

00:59:03will finally see

00:59:04I was right.

00:59:06Wait.

00:59:07I've got it.

00:59:10Victor Sterling.

00:59:11He's one of the biggest

00:59:12players on Wall Street.

00:59:15If I get him on board,

00:59:16everything changes.

00:59:23Veronica.

00:59:25You ungrateful bitch.

00:59:27The number you are trying

00:59:29to reach is unavailable.

00:59:31She blocked me?

00:59:32That bitch actually blocked me?

00:59:36Ah!

00:59:38Damn you, Veronica!

00:59:40You cold-hearted bitch!

00:59:42I hope karma tears

00:59:43your life apart!

00:59:45What am I supposed to do now?

00:59:47Without Veronica,

00:59:48this company is finished.

00:59:49Do I really have to get

00:59:50on my knees

00:59:51and beg her

00:59:51in front of everyone?

00:59:53Fine.

00:59:54Then I'll beg.

01:00:00Who cares about my pride?

01:00:01If it saves the company,

01:00:02I'll do whatever it takes.

01:00:03And once the company is safe,

01:00:05I'll deal with Veronica later.

01:00:07But first,

01:00:08that useless idiot Ava

01:00:09has to go.

01:00:13Maybe if I give Veronica

01:00:15a scapegoat,

01:00:15she'll back off.

01:00:18HR,

01:00:19draft a termination notice.

01:00:20I want Ava gone

01:00:20by the end of the day.

01:00:21Just to confirm,

01:00:22President Gray,

01:00:23you'd like Director Sutton

01:00:24terminated immediately?

01:00:27President!

01:00:28I found a way

01:00:28to save the company!

01:00:35President Gray?

01:00:37Were you about to fire me?

01:00:40I was talking about

01:00:41Ava from tech,

01:00:43not you.

01:00:43Come on!

01:00:44You're my future VP.

01:00:46Now tell me about

01:00:46this brilliant plan of yours.

01:00:51Victor,

01:00:52he's about to partner

01:00:53with Veronica, right?

01:00:54Then we take him away

01:00:56from her.

01:00:57One deal is enough

01:00:57to turn things around.

01:00:59Take him away?

01:01:00Victor Sterling

01:01:01is loyal to a fault.

01:01:02And right now,

01:01:03he's firmly

01:01:04in Veronica's corner.

01:01:05Why would he ever

01:01:06choose us?

01:01:07Not willingly.

01:01:08But everyone

01:01:09has something to lose.

01:01:10We just need leverage.

01:01:12Leverage?

01:01:13What kind of leverage?

01:01:14Simple.

01:01:14We invite him out,

01:01:16spike his drink.

01:01:17Once he's out of it,

01:01:19I'll take him back

01:01:19to a hotel room

01:01:20and get some photos.

01:01:21Once we get those,

01:01:22he'll do whatever we ask.

01:01:24Either he cooperates

01:01:25or he explains the pictures.

01:01:30Ava, you're a genius!

01:01:32If we land Victor,

01:01:34we solve everything.

01:01:36The rent,

01:01:37the clients,

01:01:38all of it.

01:01:39And Veronica

01:01:40will never see it coming.

01:01:43Mr. Sterling,

01:01:44hello,

01:01:45it's Rebecca.

01:01:46Rebecca,

01:01:46I believe we've said

01:01:47all there to say.

01:01:48I'm busy.

01:01:49Wait, please!

01:01:50Don't hang up!

01:01:52Mr. Sterling,

01:01:53I'm calling to apologize.

01:01:55To you

01:01:55and to Veronica.

01:01:56Bit late for that,

01:01:58isn't it?

01:01:58I never wanted

01:01:59things to end up like this.

01:02:01I trusted the wrong people.

01:02:03Ava kept feeding me lies

01:02:04and turning me against Veronica.

01:02:05By the time I realized

01:02:06what was happening,

01:02:07the damage was done.

01:02:09But I've finally seen her

01:02:10for who she really is.

01:02:11I terminated her this morning.

01:02:14You actually fired her?

01:02:16Absolutely.

01:02:17Mr. Sterling,

01:02:18I truly regret everything.

01:02:19Please,

01:02:20just give me one chance

01:02:21to make things right.

01:02:23Fine.

01:02:24For Veronica's sake,

01:02:25I'll hear what you have to say.

01:02:28That's wonderful.

01:02:30Tonight,

01:02:317 o'clock,

01:02:32the Stardust Restaurant

01:02:32on the 5th.

01:02:33I'll see you there.

01:02:36Got him.

01:02:37Victor took the bait.

01:02:38Then I'll go make

01:02:39the arrangements right now.

01:02:41Ava,

01:02:41if this gets the company

01:02:42through the crisis

01:02:42and we make it to IPO,

01:02:43that VP spot

01:02:44is definitely yours.

01:02:46President Gray,

01:02:47you can count on me.

01:02:48I won't let you down.

01:02:52I won't let you down.

01:02:54I won't let you down.

01:02:55I won't let you down.

01:02:56I won't let you down.

01:03:06Victor,

01:03:08once I have something on you,

01:03:09let's see how tough you act then.

01:03:13Mr. Sterling,

01:03:15it's so good to see you.

01:03:18Mr. Sterling,

01:03:20we've definitely had our differences.

01:03:22I was hoping

01:03:23we could clear the air.

01:03:26I'm listening.

01:03:27Honestly,

01:03:29this whole mess

01:03:30started with Ava.

01:03:31If it weren't for her,

01:03:32none of this would have happened.

01:03:36Is that so?

01:03:39Absolutely.

01:03:39She brought me fake evidence

01:03:41and manipulated me.

01:03:42That's what called the problems

01:03:43between Veronica and me.

01:03:45But don't worry,

01:03:45I've already fired her.

01:03:47Mr. Sterling,

01:03:48I'm asking for one chance.

01:03:50Please arrange a meeting

01:03:51with Veronica.

01:03:52I want to explain

01:03:53everything face to face.

01:03:54Fine.

01:03:55I will ask,

01:03:55but if Veronica doesn't buy it,

01:03:57you're on your own.

01:03:59And if Veronica still refuses,

01:04:00I promise I won't bother you again.

01:04:02Mr. Sterling,

01:04:03toast.

01:04:04Thank you for being so generous.

01:04:13Well,

01:04:14if that's everything,

01:04:15I'll be on my way.

01:04:16Of course,

01:04:17Mr. Sterling.

01:04:18Take care.

01:04:22Why am I so dizzy?

01:04:25You put something in my drink,

01:04:27didn't you?

01:04:57What the hell did you do to me?

01:05:01What do you think?

01:05:02A man and a woman alone

01:05:03in a hotel room?

01:05:04Use your imagination.

01:05:06You sick bastards.

01:05:08You drugged me?

01:05:12Shut up, Victor.

01:05:14You're dropping Veronica

01:05:15and signing with us.

01:05:16That's right.

01:05:17And you're going to tell everyone

01:05:19that Veronica lied.

01:05:20You'll say the only reason

01:05:22you partnered with her

01:05:23was because she slept with you.

01:05:24Not happening!

01:05:26Then these photos go public

01:05:28tomorrow morning.

01:05:29A Wall Street titan

01:05:30caught in a hotel room scandal.

01:05:33And you know what?

01:05:34Ava might even claim

01:05:35it wasn't consensual.

01:05:37Tell me, Victor.

01:05:38How do you think that plays

01:05:39on the evening news?

01:05:41You're both psych.

01:05:42Fine.

01:05:43I'll sign.

01:05:44But I'll never lie about Veronica.

01:05:45Release the photos if you want.

01:05:47You'll destroy yourselves

01:05:47right along with me.

01:05:48You!

01:05:49President Gray, relax.

01:05:51I have a better idea.

01:05:52What better idea?

01:05:55If we can get leverage on Victor,

01:05:56we can get leverage on Veronica too.

01:05:58You mean,

01:05:59the second Victor signs with us,

01:06:00Veronica will come

01:06:01looking for answers.

01:06:02When she does,

01:06:02we'll be ready.

01:06:03Then we'll have everything

01:06:04we need to ruin her.

01:06:05Good.

01:06:06That's exactly what we'll do.

01:06:07I want her humiliated

01:06:08in front of everyone.

01:06:09I'll contact my supplier.

01:06:11This time I'm getting

01:06:12the strongest stuff they have.

01:06:13When we're done with her,

01:06:14she'll be finished.

01:06:16These two psychos

01:06:17drugged me

01:06:17without a second thought.

01:06:19There's no way

01:06:20they'll stop it, Veronica.

01:06:21I need to warn her

01:06:23before it's too late.

01:06:39Veronica, good evening.

01:06:40The day after tomorrow

01:06:41is our big project

01:06:42signing ceremony.

01:06:44As your former partner,

01:06:45I'd love for you to be there

01:06:45and witness our comeback firsthand.

01:06:48No thanks.

01:06:49Find someone else to annoy.

01:06:51You don't even want to know

01:06:52who we're signing?

01:06:53Couldn't care less.

01:06:55Victor.

01:06:56Surprised?

01:06:57He already agreed

01:06:58to partner with us.

01:06:59What?

01:07:00That's impossible.

01:07:01Victor would never work with you.

01:07:02How cute.

01:07:03In business,

01:07:04there are no permanent enemies.

01:07:06Only permanent profits.

01:07:07Signing ceremony.

01:07:08Tomorrow,

01:07:0910 a.m.

01:07:10The Manhattan Intercontinental.

01:07:11Don't be late, Veronica.

01:07:13I'd hate for you

01:07:13to miss watching you win.

01:07:16Something's off.

01:07:17Victor is a man of integrity.

01:07:18He made it crystal clear

01:07:19he wanted nothing to do

01:07:20with Rebecca.

01:07:21There's no way

01:07:22he changed his mind overnight.

01:07:24Something happened.

01:07:25And whatever it is,

01:07:26it stinks.

01:07:37Victor's not answering.

01:07:39Definitely not normal.

01:07:41No.

01:07:42I'm getting to the bottom of this.

01:07:47Smith?

01:07:48It's Veronica.

01:07:49I need you to track

01:07:50Rebecca, Ava, and Victor

01:07:52every move they've made

01:07:53in the last 24 hours.

01:07:54No problem,

01:07:55Mrs. Veronica.

01:07:55I'll get right on it.

01:08:02Can you believe it?

01:08:03Victor actually signed

01:08:04with Rebecca.

01:08:05A few days ago,

01:08:06they looked ready

01:08:07to kill each other.

01:08:08Look at Victor.

01:08:09Biggest deal of the year,

01:08:10and he looks like

01:08:11he's headed to a funeral.

01:08:12Something's definitely off.

01:08:14Even strangers

01:08:14can see something's wrong.

01:08:16Yeah, this stinks.

01:08:22Mr. Sterling.

01:08:25Veronica,

01:08:26what are you doing here?

01:08:27You need to leave.

01:08:29Now.

01:08:29This place isn't safe.

01:08:32Victor,

01:08:32what the hell is going on?

01:08:33Why would you suddenly agree

01:08:35to sign with Rebecca?

01:08:38Don't ask.

01:08:40Just get out of here

01:08:41and stay away from Rebecca

01:08:43and Ava.

01:08:44Those two are planning something.

01:08:49What are they planning?

01:08:50I don't know the details,

01:08:52but they've set a trap for you.

01:08:54Veronica, I'm sorry.

01:08:55I can't go through

01:08:55with our deal.

01:08:56Please,

01:08:57just leave.

01:09:00Victor,

01:09:02tell me the truth.

01:09:05Stop asking.

01:09:07Those women have no limits.

01:09:09I'm not dragging you into this.

01:09:16Mrs. Veronica,

01:09:17we got everything.

01:09:19Last night,

01:09:20Rebecca and Ava

01:09:21drugged Mr. Sterling

01:09:22at a restaurant.

01:09:23Then they took him to a hotel

01:09:24and photographed him

01:09:26to blackmail him.

01:09:27They drugged him?

01:09:28Those sick,

01:09:29desperate bitches

01:09:29actually did it.

01:09:30I have proof.

01:09:32Photos of Rebecca

01:09:32drugging Victor,

01:09:33photos of them

01:09:34moving him into

01:09:34the hotel unconscious,

01:09:36and records showing

01:09:37Ava purchased the drugs.

01:09:38Good work.

01:09:43Victor,

01:09:44you don't have to

01:09:45be afraid anymore.

01:09:47What?

01:09:48Because I already

01:09:49have everything.

01:09:51Proof they drugged you,

01:09:52proof they blackmailed you,

01:09:55and enough evidence

01:09:57to bury both of them.

01:09:58Wait.

01:10:00Are you serious?

01:10:03Mr. Sterling,

01:10:04we've got them.

01:10:05The evidence is airtight.

01:10:07Drugging someone

01:10:07and blackmailing them

01:10:08for business leverage

01:10:09is freliny.

01:10:12Good.

01:10:13Those evil bitches

01:10:14are finished.

01:10:15I swear I'll do

01:10:16everything I can

01:10:17to see them behind bars.

01:10:19Mrs. Veronica,

01:10:20there's more.

01:10:21Ava spiked your drink

01:10:22earlier tonight.

01:10:23I've already switched

01:10:23the glasses.

01:10:28They want to play dirty?

01:10:30Fine.

01:10:31Let's see how they like

01:10:32drinking their own poison.

01:10:38Well, if it isn't

01:10:39our former VP.

01:10:41Tell me, Veronica.

01:10:43Watching Victor sign with me

01:10:44must be killing you.

01:10:47Veronica,

01:10:48I owe you an apology.

01:10:49I shouldn't have treated you

01:10:50the way I did.

01:10:51Let's put the past behind us.

01:10:53Exactly.

01:10:54Drink this,

01:10:55and we can call it even.

01:10:56Hell, I might even be generous

01:10:58enough to give you

01:10:58your old job back.

01:11:00The detective already

01:11:01switched the drinks.

01:11:02Let's see who's laughing

01:11:03in ten minutes.

01:11:13I drank the champagne.

01:11:15But don't confuse that

01:11:17with forgiveness.

01:11:18Neither of you deserve it.

01:11:21That's okay.

01:11:22In a few minutes,

01:11:24you'll be the one begging us.

01:11:25I can't wait.

01:11:27Maybe you'll finally learn

01:11:28how to get on your knees

01:11:29and apologize.

01:11:31Really?

01:11:32Then let's sit back

01:11:33and enjoy the show.

01:11:35What's taking so long?

01:11:36She should have reacted by now.

01:11:40Is something wrong?

01:11:42You both look confused.

01:11:44Tell me,

01:11:45are you wondering

01:11:46why I drank the champagne

01:11:47and nothing happened?

01:11:52How did you know?

01:11:54Not only did I know

01:11:55you spiked the drink,

01:11:56I had our glasses switched

01:11:57before you got here.

01:11:59The drug champagne,

01:12:00you drank it yourself.

01:12:01What?

01:12:05Veronica!

01:12:06You drugged Rebecca

01:12:07in front of everyone!

01:12:08That's attempted murder!

01:12:11What's happening?

01:12:12Did somebody poison her?

01:12:13The only people

01:12:14drugging anyone

01:12:15are these two.

01:12:16Last night,

01:12:17Rebecca and Ava

01:12:18drugged Mr. Sterling

01:12:20to force him

01:12:20into a business deal.

01:12:22They dragged him

01:12:23unconscious

01:12:24into a hotel room,

01:12:25then staged fake

01:12:27bedroom photos

01:12:27to blackmail him.

01:12:29That explains everything.

01:12:30I knew Victor

01:12:31would have never partnered

01:12:32with Rebecca willingly.

01:12:35Jesus Christ.

01:12:36Christ,

01:12:36these women

01:12:37are completely unhinged.

01:12:42Liar!

01:12:42That's a lie!

01:12:44You're framing me!

01:12:45You're the one

01:12:46who drugged me!

01:12:49Every word

01:12:50Veronica said

01:12:50is true!

01:12:51They drugged me

01:12:53and forced me

01:12:53into this deal.

01:12:54And today,

01:12:55they tried to do

01:12:55the same thing

01:12:56to Veronica.

01:12:57Now she's got

01:12:57a taste of her own

01:12:58medicine!

01:13:00You have no proof!

01:13:02Right now,

01:13:02Rebecca is the one

01:13:03who's drugged!

01:13:05Proof?

01:13:06You want proof?

01:13:08Fine.

01:13:09Let's give everyone

01:13:10a front-road seat.

01:13:17Just because you have photos

01:13:19doesn't prove

01:13:19a damn thing!

01:13:20Mr. Sterling was drunk!

01:13:22We were helping him

01:13:23get back to his hotel room!

01:13:24What does that have to do

01:13:25with you drugging Rebecca?

01:13:28She has a point.

01:13:30Those photos alone

01:13:31don't prove anything.

01:13:32Maybe Rebecca

01:13:33was actually

01:13:34trying to help him.

01:13:35Still lying?

01:13:36Fine.

01:13:37Let's finish this.

01:14:01What?

01:14:02How the hell

01:14:03did you get that footage?

01:14:05No!

01:14:06No, no, no, no!

01:14:08We're screwed!

01:14:11There it is,

01:14:12caught in 4K.

01:14:16So tell me,

01:14:17what lie

01:14:18were you planning

01:14:19to sell next?

01:14:21Drugging

01:14:21and blackmailing

01:14:22to close a deal?

01:14:23You two belong

01:14:24in a prison cell,

01:14:25not a boardroom.

01:14:26I'll make damn sure

01:14:28you rot in there!

01:14:29You won't be

01:14:30the only one.

01:14:31The police

01:14:32should be here

01:14:32any minute.

01:14:42Rebecca Gray,

01:14:43Ava Sutton.

01:14:44You're under arrest

01:14:44for blackmail,

01:14:45criminal coercion,

01:14:46and administering

01:14:46an intoxicating substance.

01:15:00one more chance!

01:15:01I know I was wrong!

01:15:02I swear,

01:15:03I know I was wrong!

01:15:06I'm sorry!

01:15:08I...

01:15:09I lost my mind.

01:15:10I never should have

01:15:11listened to Rebecca.

01:15:12Please tell them

01:15:12to let me go.

01:15:13I swear,

01:15:14I'll never do anything

01:15:15like this again.

01:15:18You lying cut!

01:15:20This was your idea!

01:15:21You wanted the photos!

01:15:22Now you're dumping

01:15:23it all on me!

01:15:24Oh, please.

01:15:25You started all this!

01:15:27You wanted

01:15:27Veronica's jet!

01:15:28You told me

01:15:29to go after her!

01:15:30You dangled promotions

01:15:31in front of me!

01:15:32And it worked!

01:15:33None of this

01:15:34would have happened!

01:15:35Even now,

01:15:36you're still blaming

01:15:37everyone but yourselves.

01:15:40Veronica!

01:15:41For the sake

01:15:42of our friendship!

01:15:43Please!

01:15:44Just once!

01:15:45I'll give you

01:15:45the company!

01:15:46I'll walk away!

01:15:47I'll leave the country!

01:15:48You'll never have

01:15:48to see me again!

01:15:50Friendship?

01:15:51Where was that friendship

01:15:52when you called me a thief?

01:15:53When you tried

01:15:54to steal my jet?

01:15:55When you trashed my name

01:15:56and turned everyone

01:15:56against me?

01:15:57Now that you're cornered

01:15:58suddenly we're friends again?

01:15:59Three years ago

01:16:00you were drowning.

01:16:01I pulled you out!

01:16:02I paid your debts!

01:16:03I opened doors for you!

01:16:04I gave you my trust

01:16:05and love and support!

01:16:07It treated you

01:16:08like family

01:16:09but you treated me

01:16:10like an opportunity.

01:16:11The more I gave

01:16:13the more you wanted.

01:16:14You didn't want a friend.

01:16:16You wanted a ladder

01:16:17and as soon as you

01:16:18got to the top

01:16:19you tried to kick it

01:16:20away from beneath you.

01:16:25This didn't happen

01:16:26to you, Rebecca.

01:16:27You did this to yourself.

01:16:32Officer,

01:16:32I believe you have

01:16:33everything you need.

01:16:51I spent years afraid

01:16:53of losing her

01:16:53but sometimes

01:16:55letting go

01:16:56of the wrong people

01:16:57is the beginning

01:16:58of the life you deserve.

01:16:59you're not going to mirror

01:17:01and appreciate all of you.
