The Employer Page #7

disappointed by today's events.

Would you like for me

to show Mr. Harris out?

Uh, no.

He can show himself out.

Oh, ah, would you ask

Alan to come in?

Yes, sir.

So what now?

Hmm? Oh, sorry.

You're free to leave.

Yes, enjoy yourself

while you can.

I'm sure you'll get a visit from

some members of the company.

They like to tie up the loose

ends. You understand.

That's it?

Yes, that's it. Look, I'm sorry,

but I've got a lot of work here.

Now because of you, I've got all

these new interviews to conduct.

What if I don't

let you do that?

How are you going to do that?

With this.

I keep it in my home

for protection.

When your people came to kidnap

me last night, I went for it.

When I woke up, I realized that whoever had

taken away my cell phone and my wallet...

had somehow missed it. I

decided to keep that to myself.

Did you really think I didn't

know about that gun?

What do you mean?

They found it on you when they

brought you in last night.

I told them to let you keep it.

All the other candidates had their

thing, I thought that was only fair.

Honestly, why didn't you use

it in the room?

Because like you said, I don't have the

killer instinct that everybody else did.

And that's why you can go.

But I am adaptable.

So you say.

You don't believe me?

I believe...

that I may have

underestimated you.

And I think I may be able

to fit you in...

somewhere in this company.

You wanted to see me?

It's all right, Alan.

He's not going to shoot me.

Well, that's good.

So what's with the gun?

Actually, he's going

to shoot you.

I'm sorry?

Well, please, don't act so

surprised.

Do you really think we wouldn't

find out about that Corputech deal?

Corpu- I'm sorry,

what are you talking about?

Someone leaked information that

we were about to sell. No, no

The stock plummeted, we lost

millions. Thank you, Alan.

No, just give me one

- Hold on, kid, all right? Just, easy with that.

You know who the hell

that is? That's Simpson.

He's been dogging me for months

now, he's setting me up!

You can not believe that I had

something to do with a Corputech leak...

a sellout, whatever the hell

you think. Why would I risk-

It is my duty to inform you...

you are no longer a member

of this company.

Shoot him.

Why would I do that?

Because.

Just do it, kid.

You want to fill a job opening,

create one. Shoot him.

Isn't there another way?

There is not another way.

Don't you get it?

This is the very essence

of our profession.

You are being given an

incredible opportunity here.

For someone to succeed in the corporate

world, someone else has to fail.

That's the name of the game,

right? Sacrifice.

For every carcass floating in the water,

there's a shark ready to eat it up.

You may have no idea what

happens behind the scenes.

But you pull that trigger,

I will teach you.

I'll show you the free market

for what it really is.

It's an ocean of predators, all

looking for their next piece of meat.

All you need do is to decide...

whether you're a shark...

or just another meal.

Well. Welcome aboard,

young man.

Is everything all right?

Oh, uh, we just need

a clean up in here.

Oh, and uh, would you bring

James a new contract?

Yes, sir.

All right. Well, we've got

a lot of work to do.

I think it's time we got our

hands dirty. Don't you?

Hmm, tsk-tsk.
