A breach as big as the San Andreas Fault and none of those bozos can close it?

We need to fire someone.

-We need a culprit.

It's from Montreal.

-Anyone out to get you?

Ex-employees?

-Charles-Antoine wasn't happy about everyone seeing his dick.

An unprotected server.

Laurent should be embarrassed.

I never understood what you saw in that guy.

Would you agree to become Huldu's CEO?

Seems it's all ÈÈve's fault.

-What?

Laurent hasn't been around much lately.

We can't do that to him now!

-So we give you the boot?

You're firing me?

Kev, tell me it isn't true!

I can't lose everything, not at the worst possible time!

Please, Kev!

I can't see him.

What?

I thought it would be an urn.

I can't look at him.

Get a hold of yourself.

Hello.

My condolences.

My condolences.

My condolences... My condolences, ÉÉli.

And congratulations on the baby.

We're glad to hear he's healthy despite the circumstances.

We're here for you if you need us.

Laurent was doing so well before you came back into his life.

We really killed him, Kevin.

I'm worried about her.

She could spend a few days at my house to rest up.

I'll talk to her.

-OK, thanks.

Or you could come to my place.

You're always welcome.

Oh, thanks!

Quebec's calling a parliamentary commission about, believe it or not, consent for reusing personal data posthumously.

A commission on an industry where we're the only players?

Yeah, they want to throw a wrench in the works.

OK... How serious is it?

Depends.

How ready are you to relocate?

Are you fucking kidding me?

Be right back.

Hello.

-Hello.

Hi, honey.

Hi.

The funeral home's nice.

Lots of people.

-Lots of road works too.

I had trouble parking.

-Denis, we are in Montreal.

It was nice of you to come.

It's the least we could do.

-Of course.

We'll go talk to the parents.

Yeah.

-OK. How's ÈÈve?

Is she OK?

Yeah.

I think so.

Shit!

What's going on?

Here.

CHARLES-ANTOINE: RIP LAURENT.

IT'S ON HULDU'S CONSCIENCE.

When did he post this?

-Just now.

His timing's awesome.

He seriously needs to learn to shut his mouth.

We could have avoided this if Zoé hadn't slept with him.

I told you not to tell anyone!

So now it's OK for him to send me dick pics?

I never said that-- Forget about Charles-Antoine.

We just have to shut him up.

Social media is just another channel, Charlot.

but think of the legal considerations.

It's not a stretch to call that libel.

Exactly...

Listen, you poor man's Edward Snowdon, take your phone and shove it down your throat so you can tweet through your ass!

Got it?

HOW TO SURVIVE IN THE WILD Hey, ÈÈve!

Marie Nguyen's been waiting half an hour, where were you?

Sorry.

What's that?

Sigrid wants us to reconsider her offer.

Great.

Sorry.

We're pretty swamped this week.

I understand.

OK, I'm all yours.

Good.

I'd like to start by talking about the allegations circulating online since yesterday.

Isn't this an article about girl bosses?

Things change fast.

You know how it is.

With your ex-employee accusing you of harassment, it took another tangent.

Was this approved by Arnaud?

No, but it's related-- Right, no comment.

So I guess I'll start at the beginning.

Marie Nguyen wanted to talk about Charles-Antoine.

She's just doing her job.

-Did you do yours?

You're supposed to screen out nuisances like her.

ÈÈve... -Yeah.

I might have a solution for Charles-Antoine.

I'm thinking of charging him with harassment.

I kept all his texts.

I think it could work.

He's accusing you of psychological harassment.

But he sends dick pics-- -No.

What?

-The last thing we need is another layer of drama.

Bad idea.

You OK?

Kev, we're having stability problems again.

What do you mean?

Too much traffic.

We need more servers.

Nice problem to have.

Don't know what to tell you.

Yeah, it's just that... Laurent used to do that, so... Is this yours?

It was in the printer.

Thanks.

Didn't know the Montarville MNA had gone back to work.

She didn't have much time to grieve for her daughter.

How do you know that?

She was a high school friend.

OK, I contacted the offices of both MNAs on the committee.

I'll be feeding them questions.

That's one less job for them.

Great.

-There's just one thing.

What?

-It's going to be a lot of work to prepare you for the parliamentary commission.

If I'm to continue, I'll need to be compensated.

What do you want?

Employee of the month?

I'd love that!

That, and shares in the company.

Like 5%.

-5%!

5% if I keep you going until you get 50 million users, say.

Or...

I could just leave.

I shouldn't stand so close to the edge.

With you, you never know.

Excuse me?

-Come on, Kev.

You could at least take responsibility for what you did.

You threw Laurent under a bus to save your skin.

You're no more pure than anyone.

You put business above all, accept the consequences.

Stop it.

I've given my all to this since the beginning.

I showed my boobs to the XKR guys to raise cash.

I exploited a widow because you told me to.

I managed Laurent, who wasn't over our breakup.

I worked like a dog.

I have no life anymore.

Now what do I have left?

You think you're the only one who gave their all?

I was also ready to sacrifice everything for Huldu.

Maybe that's the problem.

We can't throw it all away.

Your only friend died, Kevin.

What will it take?

Draugr is our only way out.

Let's take it before it's too late.

Hey.

Have a good night.

STILL INTERESTED SIGRID To Huldu Voice!

-Huldu Voice!

Kev...

Cheer up, man.

Honestly, guys, I'm not sure we'll make it.

It's all in place.

It's a matter of weeks, I'm sure of it.

ÈÈve and I were talking about selling.

Selling?

To do what?

Backpacking across Asia?

If you stop working, you die.

You just need to stop doing two jobs.

You can't do Laurent's too.

You know...

I could do Laurent's job.

This guy would be perfect for CTO.

Works in Fintech in Toronto.

Comes highly recommended.

He loves Huldu.

He'd move to Montreal.

Until Laurent's body's cold, hold off on the golden boys.

He's been dead a month.

And with the launch of Huldu Voice-- Screw the launch.

We'll talk about it tomorrow.

-Stop it.

Stop being so controlling.

-OK!

Forget it.

I hate him so much.

Breathe.

You're tired.

I don't think you get it.

All I want is to get out, but I can't.

I could buy you out if you want.

That could set you free.

No, you can't.

Kev has right of first refusal.

He's broke.

I could match Sigrid's price.

What is it, $2 million?

Just over that.

I want you to be happy.

I can give you that.

Kevin!

I'm very happy to hear from you.

You didn't give me much of a choice.

I'm sorry if I seemed insistent.

It's not a problem.

Everyone wants to be wanted.

I presume you've thought about our offer.

Actually, I wanted to see if it had gone up.

A lot has happened since we last spoke.

Indeed.

-Did you manage to find... the star coder to develop Draugr Voice?

No, which is why we want to change our offer.

We were thinking $25 million to acquire the company, including all intellectual property.

We have know-how that you can't develop yourselves.

That's only worth $15 million more than your initial offer?

Fifty.

Excuse me?

-$50 million.

I'll have to talk to my partner.

I'll send a formal offer within 24 hours to you, your partners and your legal department.

Great, thanks.

Good night to you in Montreal.

Kevin?

-Sigrid's offering $50 million.

Whoa!

Since when are you selling?

Just exploring options.

It's $50 million.

-That's not enough.

She's not stupid.

She's offering five times more because she knows Huldu Voice will sink them.

What did ÈÈve say about it?

I wanted your opinion first.

-Don't tell her for now.

If ÈÈve tells the shareholders, they could force the sale.

She can't know.

-She will within 24 hours.

Then you'll buy her out.

I'll draw up the contract.

Offer her what she would have got the first time.

She can't say no.

I don't have the cash.

-Don't tell me you don't have a few million hidden somewhere?

Hello!

-Kevin?

Did something happen?

-Where's Dad?

He's out on the boat.

Dad!

Don't tell me someone else is dead.

That's not it.

-Is it urgent?

Maybe.

Alright, get on.

Let's have it.

My competitor made a hostile bid and I want to stop it.

I want to do a takeover.

A takeover... She offered $50 million.

I know it seems like a lot, but...

I don't want to sell.

To prevent that, I have to buy out my partner, fast.

What does your partner say about the offer?

She doesn't know about it yet.

With Laurent's redistributed shares, she's at 25%.

If I buy her out, I'll own 60% of the company.

I can do what I want.

I know it's not worth much to you.

You think it's crap.

Fine.

But I need you right now, Dad.

I've put everything into it.

If I lose it...

I listened to your gadget.

Mom's is just a prototype.

It will change.

-I found it... realistic.

Really?

How much?

Four.

I thought you hated my money.

I was scared of your money.

Look what happened to Dave.

You're not Dave.

How could I have known?

Alright...

I never thought you and I would have a family business.

Go on.

What were you thinking, naming me Kevin?

Would you have preferred Denis Jr.?

How's the hunt for the new CTO going?

P.-A.

's interested, and it's easier to hire internally.

-Come on, Kevin.

We're selling, so what's the point?

The offer fell through.

OK. That's it?

-What?

I don't know... You threw a fit to convince me to sell.

I got another offer.

Just for my shares.

Same amount as from Draugr.

I could submit it to you, but you don't have the cash flow, so that's that.

I have right of first refusal.

Whatever happens, I'll match those offers.

You can't print money.

What's your price?

What Sigrid offered.

I'm offering you $4 million.

Double the price.

Hey!

I found a bone to throw to the media.

What is it?

-Listen to this.

The Laurent Jean-Baptiste Foundation.

We get ÉÉlisabeth to licence us to use his name.

We set up a foundation to help families of suicide victims.

Good, right?

Nothing but good vibes.

We tried a feel-good thing with Patricia.

It didn't exactly end well.

-Well... We did a good interview and everyone signed up to Huldu.

What goddamn planet do you guys live on?

There's something you're not telling me.

The offer's solid.

Send it to me.

Let's get it over with.

What is it?

We need to postpone the launch.

We won't be ready.

Since we lost Laurent, it's been a mess.

The ship has no captain.

Sorry, Kev, but you're too busy to handle the job.

You're right.

I should have been more in charge lately.

But ÈÈve did an exemplary job.

Just to be clear, none of this is her fault.

Is anyone here able to do the CTO's job?

P.-A.?

Are you interested?

No, I mean yes.

-Yeah?

Prove it.

-Oh, OK... Congratulations.

ÈÈve!

ÈÈve!

-What?

P.-A.?

-What's wrong?

I think the job should be posted.

We can't afford standard procedure right now.

But P.-A.

steps out of line.

How out of line?

-I dunno...

He's mean and relentless.

I'm not comfortable with him as the boss.

You need to get a grip.

You decided to work in tech.

You'll meet idiots who lose it at the sight of boobs.

But ÈÈve!

Zoé!

Meeting in 5.

We need a game plan to get this out on time.

So...

The offer's for $4 million.

You just have to sign.

Here.

Where did you find the cash?

A rich family from Thetford Mines.

You know what?

I don't want to know.

I'll run it by my lawyer and get back to you.

It's all standard.

I'm not signing this without going over it.

All due respect, I know enough not to trust you.

OK.

When will you sign?

Is it urgent?

-No.

Take your time.

-I'll go home.

Take a nap and look at it tonight.

As you wish.

It's 5:00, who wants a beer?

Vodka.

-It's on me.

On one condition.

Call me boss.

-Yuck!

So annoying!

-Yo, boss.

CTO!

CTO!

CTO!

We're sick of you already.

Kev... Is P.-A.

a sure thing for CTO?

Yes.

Journalists are talking about the toxic climate here.

It's not a good call to put P.-A.

in charge.

Do I also have to consult you for the choice of toilet paper?

If you think you can run a business with no employees, be my guest.

You couldn't talk to me before choosing the CTO?

You could have been classier with your principal investor.

You think it was classy to try to get me fired and bring in your girlfriend?

-What?

There's a limit to what you can control with your dick.

Shit!

Why did you tell Kevin about us?

What?

I didn't say anything.

How does he know?

You're kidding me!

I don't need this too.

What are those papers?

Kevin offered to buy me out.

What?

No!

You can't sign this!

My lawyer went over it.

-No!

You can't give him control.

He'll have 60% of shares.

Honestly, you could burn down the office, I wouldn't care.

What's going on with you?

What's going on with me?

-Yeah.

What happened to your drive?

Kevin killed Laurent!

I'll be next if I don't get out.

What don't you understand?

No!

This will pass.

You're tired.

Give yourself time.

-Remind me why I should stay.

I told you, without you the company is nothing.

Saving your investment is worth more than my mental health?

It's an important decision.

You should give it careful thought.

Hi.

-Thanks.

Thanks, have a good night.

What are you plotting, Kevin?

Excuse me?

-Why the hurry to buy ÈÈve out?

Doesn't take a PhD to see she's having a burnout.

Don't pretend you care about her.

And you're only thinking of her interests?

I have right of first refusal.

Whatever happened, I was buying ÈÈve's shares.

Why now?

-Because ÈÈve's a wreck.

I've learned not to fire the founders too cavalierly.

The real reason.

The actual real reason?

I'm the boss.

I had to buy her out before Sigrid offers us $50 million.

$50 million?

Wasn't it 10?

You're screwing ÈÈve out of millions?

Don't pretend you're doing this for ÈÈve, honestly.

You're jealous because I put one over on you.

I'm not done with you, asshole.

-I figured that.

ÈÈve insisted on a morals clause in the shareholders' agreement.

To ensure a harassment-free workplace.

Didn't you sign the agreement?

Accepted its terms?

I think you did.

You had control over our project.

Do you think in those conditions that ÈÈve really had a choice to sleep with you?

Right, because you... You think she's not mature enough?

Who cares about what happened?

What matters is what the lawyers say.

Tomorrow everyone will know you abused your powers.

So legally, sorry to inform you... you'll have to unload your shares.

You're a goddamn psychopath!

I learned from the best.

ÈÈve, open up!

Open up, please!

Tell me you didn't sign.

Fuck!

Why didn't you listen to me?

I'd have had a foothold with you there.

What are you talking about?

-He's squeezing me out.

Because of your shitty, left-wing, woke morals clause.

The media will paint me as a pervert.

You were counting on me for a foothold in the company?

OK...

Listen to me, OK?

We can nullify the sale.

We'll make him sweat bullets.

You and I... No.

No.

-What do you mean, no?

I want nothing to do with Kevin.

Fuck Kevin.

-Or with you.

No!

We're a team.

-No, we're not, go away.

Please go away.

Anyway, I don't care.

You lost the most.

If you'd waited a few hours, you could've sold to the Swedes for five times as much.

You're telling me now, when I'm kicking you out?

You make me sick!

Fuck off.

Fuck off!

Obviously, you're not obliged to sign.

But if I don't, I get no money?

The choice is entirely yours.

We'd completely understand if you said no.

You know I can't turn down $250,000.

If you asked my permission to put his face on lunchboxes, I'd have to say yes.

The foundation will be well run.

Laurent will be remembered for a long time.

It could be beneficial for people like you and me.

Like you and me?

Who have lost loved ones to suicide.

Paul-André, are you with us?

I'm here.

What's your favourite sport?

-Jacking off.

True enough!

P.-A., what's the meaning of life?

I didn't care for philosophy when I was alive.

Do you think I want to talk about it now I'm dead?

Wow, that thing really works.

It's really cool.

Good to know you believe in us.

-P.-A.... What are my chances of sleeping with... Zoé?

Zoé is totally fuckable, but really frigid.

Don't count on it.

Was that scripted?

-No.

I guess Max and I talked about Zoé by private message.

Good work, guys, don't know what I'd do without you.

You'd have found another lemon to squeeze.

Right?

What?

Come on, guys.

I've known you guys forever.

We're more than colleagues, right?

I've seen what happens to your buddies.

Don't want to end up like them.

The person in the office I really want to be friends with... is Zoé.

Huh, Zoé?

-Seriously, man?

Oh, come on.

How can someone that cute have no sense of humour?

Kev, we need to talk.

Privately.

I've been thinking.

OK. -I'm filing harassment charges against Charles-Antoine.

-I see.

How much do you want?

I don't want money or your permission.

I'm telling you what I'm doing.

If I come out with this, Charles-Antoine will lose all credibility.

Yeah...

But we don't want people meddling in our affairs.

OK.

But there's one thing that could shut me up.

I want ÈÈve's job.

Yeah, right.

After the parliamentary commission, you won't be able to manage without me.

I have a bombshell in here.

It better not explode in our faces.

It was that or bring you down.

It's not like you had a choice.

I can't believe I'm trying to convince old boomers who take photos with their iPads.

It's not up to them.

You're the boss.

Thank you, Mr. President, for inviting me to this consultation for Bill 48 on consent for post-mortem digital reproduction.

My name is Kevin Bédard, CEO of Huldu Technologies Inc. My brother died when I was a teenager.

Sadly, he died back when we didn't chat enough online to leave enough traces to recreate him in Huldu.

But more than that, he'd never have been able to consent to it.

A service like Huldu didn't even cross our minds.

Huldu exists as a result of the legal vacuum you're trying to fill.

If you think Huldu should require the consent of the deceased, that means one of two things.

You believe in life after death.

Or you believe that machines are capable of consciousness.

In the event that consent for posthumous reproduction is required beforehand, how would you adapt to comply?

We wouldn't adapt.

We'd have to fold.

With a total payroll of $2 million, not to mention all the jobs we would have created.

High-quality jobs in French.

Just the kind of jobs your government loves, Madam.

I don't respond to threats, Mr. Bédard.

Sorry, Madam, there's been a misunderstanding.

I'm not here to threaten anyone.

I'm here to defend Huldu's economic and human value.

It's a 100% Quebec-based company, with a local product with a capacity-- I'd like to add one last thing.

Here's how far we could go if the legislation allows us to continue operating in Quebec.

I understand, Madam, that you've recently lost your daughter.

My condolences.

Thank you.

Rébecca, are you with me?

I'm here.

Hi, Mom.

They told me I could talk to you.

Is that true?

I miss you so much, Mom.

Do you really want to say no to this, Madam?

Welcome Kevin Bédard!

How far are you prepared to go to succeed?

How many people in this room are prepared for that?

I think there's probably just one.

He's here because he's changing the world with an idea, and that idea is Huldu Voice!

And to demonstrate it, I'd like to introduce our 50 millionth user, me.

Laurent, are you with me?

I'm here.

My friend and colleague, Laurent Jean-Baptiste, died not long ago.

It was hard, we'd known each other since university.

And we founded Huldu together.

-Hey!

He thinks he's hot stuff.

This is our Huldu Voice app, available in a few minutes on all platforms so you can communicate out loud with your Huldu.

Where are you?

Presenting the latest version of our baby.

Oh, wow.

I have a great feeling about Huldu.

I'm really happy to be doing this with you.

I'm happy too.

Are you doing alright, Kev?

Yeah.

Are you happy to be where you are?

Yeah.

Hey, Kev, tell ÉÉli I miss her.

Starting today, by subscribing to Huldu Voice for $9.99 a month, you can record your voice to give your loved ones a chance to keep talking to you through your Huldu after your death.

You know what?

I love your energy.

I'll give you the first month for free.

Well... Because you know more than anyone that Huldu is more than just a product.

It's a new way of looking at life.

And death.

Huldu!

Huldu!

Huldu!

Yes!

That was amazing!

You're fucking dangerous, man.

Good thing you chose to do good.

Good thing you chose the right side.
