The documentary's first third focuses on a politician, accountant, boss, and CEO
who has been labeled a "corporate psychopath." According to psychologists Robert
Hare and Paul Babiak, these people lack emotional intelligence, empathy, and
conscience in social interactions; brain scans reveal that they lack the function to
understand the pain of others and therefore are unable to sympathize.
In the real world, psychopaths fit in seamlessly with the society through
education; they learn to relate to the atmosphere, work like everyone else, and learn to
fake feelings and body language in order to get by. Behind their charismatic image,
though, is generally an intensely egoistic, self-centered, and narcissistic mentality that
views and exploits people as objects to accomplish their goal; this is what makes
psychopaths dangerous. They gain confidence by performing flawlessly and develop an
apparent unbreakable bond with their subject, but when they wish to terminate the
relationship, whether it be company, partnership, family, or personal, the other person is
left wounded or even hurt.
