1
00:00:02,120 --> 00:00:05,638
Quite a plan you boys cooked up here.

2
00:00:05,720 --> 00:00:07,718
Quite a plan.

3
00:00:07,800 --> 00:00:10,438
I'm not sure what upsets me more,

4
00:00:10,520 --> 00:00:13,398
that I have four employees

5
00:00:13,480 --> 00:00:16,039
that conspired to commit felony fraud,

6
00:00:16,120 --> 00:00:18,919
or that I have four employees
that are so stupid

7
00:00:19,000 --> 00:00:20,998
I found out about it within 30 seconds.

8
00:00:21,128 --> 00:00:24,486
Hearing it out loud, the
first one seems worse.

9
00:00:24,569 --> 00:00:29,159
We got sales, manufacturing,
design, assembly,

10
00:00:29,240 --> 00:00:31,287
logistics teams, they're
all ready to go.

11
00:00:31,401 --> 00:00:34,119
All of them on the
payroll, all of them here

12
00:00:34,248 --> 00:00:35,879
to build me a box.

13
00:00:36,008 --> 00:00:38,886
I have a deal, in principle,

14
00:00:38,969 --> 00:00:41,158
with Maleant to buy the box.

15
00:00:41,241 --> 00:00:46,566
The second that we deliver a product that
meets those specs, we are cashing checks!

16
00:00:46,649 --> 00:00:49,767
And you are the only four
people in this building

17
00:00:49,849 --> 00:00:51,047
that are fighting me on it!

18
00:00:51,129 --> 00:00:54,519
So give me one reason why I
don't fire you right now,

19
00:00:54,600 --> 00:00:55,879
claw back your options,

20
00:00:55,961 --> 00:00:58,359
make you unhireable all over town,

21
00:00:58,440 --> 00:01:01,767
one goddamn reason!

22
00:01:07,801 --> 00:01:10,599
- Because you can't.
- Excuse me?

23
00:01:10,681 --> 00:01:13,527
This agreement says
that you have ten weeks

24
00:01:13,641 --> 00:01:16,679
to complete a working prototype
before the deal expires.

25
00:01:16,809 --> 00:01:19,239
So how are you gonna do
that if you fire us?

26
00:01:19,369 --> 00:01:22,519
There are maybe eight engineers on earth

27
00:01:22,601 --> 00:01:24,439
proficient in middle-out compression.

28
00:01:24,521 --> 00:01:26,728
Five of them work for
Endframe, your competition,

29
00:01:26,809 --> 00:01:29,367
and three of them are here
in this office right now.

30
00:01:29,481 --> 00:01:31,079
So if we're gone,

31
00:01:31,161 --> 00:01:33,127
I don't think you're ever
going to get your box.

32
00:01:34,121 --> 00:01:35,399
What do you want?

33
00:01:35,481 --> 00:01:38,119
I want to build my platform. Now.

34
00:01:38,250 --> 00:01:41,399
To complete the box project is going
to take six months, at least.

35
00:01:41,482 --> 00:01:45,399
So, what I think maybe
we should do is, um,

36
00:01:45,481 --> 00:01:47,559
take a little tip from your chart there,

37
00:01:47,642 --> 00:01:49,608
and we, uh, compromise.

38
00:01:49,689 --> 00:01:52,199
Compromise is the shared hypotenuse

39
00:01:52,330 --> 00:01:54,760
of the conjoined triangles of success.

40
00:01:54,889 --> 00:01:59,079
Mm-hmm, yep. So, uh...
so, what I'm proposing

41
00:01:59,210 --> 00:02:02,280
is we stand up the prototype, that's it.

42
00:02:02,409 --> 00:02:07,480
We're not doing any custom features, no
new versions, no maintenance, nothing.

43
00:02:07,561 --> 00:02:10,008
Richard, the Maleant basement.

44
00:02:10,122 --> 00:02:13,400
And no onsite support. I think
you can hire other engineers

45
00:02:13,481 --> 00:02:14,887
to do that fucking mole monkey work.

46
00:02:14,970 --> 00:02:18,088
The second we write code that satisfies

47
00:02:18,170 --> 00:02:20,647
the basic minimum
requirement of the deal,

48
00:02:20,730 --> 00:02:23,848
we are off the box and
on to the platform.

49
00:02:23,930 --> 00:02:25,960
And that is my final offer.

50
00:02:26,042 --> 00:02:30,328
So, what do you say to that action--

51
00:02:30,442 --> 00:02:32,680
- Whoa!
- Ow! Ow!

52
00:02:32,762 --> 00:02:36,728
Hey, hey. You okay? You were
standing and then what happened?

53
00:02:36,842 --> 00:02:39,480
- It's just a little shocking.
- Oh... what were you saying?

54
00:02:39,562 --> 00:02:41,000
Did you... do we have a deal or...?

55
00:02:41,082 --> 00:02:42,888
Yeah, Richard, we have a deal.

56
00:02:42,970 --> 00:02:44,040
You have a bloody nose.

57
00:02:44,122 --> 00:02:45,960
That was pretty badass, Richard.

58
00:02:46,090 --> 00:02:48,088
Until it wasn't.

59
00:02:55,135 --> 00:02:57,939
- sync and corrections by Caio -
- www.addic7ed.com -

60
00:02:59,451 --> 00:03:03,800
Uh, this is not even a room.
This is a hallway.

61
00:03:03,882 --> 00:03:06,840
Uh, it can't be, because that is a bed,

62
00:03:06,923 --> 00:03:09,641
thus, this is a bedroom.

63
00:03:09,770 --> 00:03:12,840
Two entrances and exits,
cross drafts ahoy.

64
00:03:12,970 --> 00:03:17,288
And, uh, it is the safest room in
the event, unlikely, of a fire.

65
00:03:17,371 --> 00:03:20,009
Oh! Whoopsies. Don't mind me.

66
00:03:20,090 --> 00:03:24,249
Ah, Fred, this is Jared. He actually
is a, uh... a temporary resident.

67
00:03:24,362 --> 00:03:27,608
Oh, uh, while I have you, there
were fresh droppings near my cot.

68
00:03:27,723 --> 00:03:30,809
I think you were right. The Havahart
traps don't seem to be working.

69
00:03:30,923 --> 00:03:35,209
I was thinking maybe we could just pick
a day and just drench it in hawk urine,

70
00:03:35,290 --> 00:03:38,008
because the scent of a predator
can keep rodents at bay.

71
00:03:38,123 --> 00:03:41,640
It's funny, we're named Pied
Piper, but we're beset with rats.

72
00:03:41,723 --> 00:03:43,929
Little rascals.

73
00:03:48,203 --> 00:03:51,961
Fuck this. I've been writing
quick, bullshit subpar code

74
00:03:52,043 --> 00:03:54,729
for 48 hours and I want to kill myself.

75
00:03:54,811 --> 00:03:56,841
How do you do it every day, Dinesh?

76
00:03:56,971 --> 00:04:01,001
What a coincidence, I've also been
writing bullshit code for 48 hours,

77
00:04:01,083 --> 00:04:02,921
and want you to kill yourself.

78
00:04:03,003 --> 00:04:04,601
Guys, please. Let's just
shit this thing out

79
00:04:04,683 --> 00:04:06,681
so we can get on to
building the platform.

80
00:04:06,763 --> 00:04:08,570
Hi.

81
00:04:09,643 --> 00:04:11,450
- Hi.
- Dang.

82
00:04:11,563 --> 00:04:13,529
- What?
- I'm Dang.

83
00:04:13,643 --> 00:04:16,281
- I'm Dang?
- Dang.

84
00:04:16,363 --> 00:04:19,081
- What...
- My name is Dang.

85
00:04:19,163 --> 00:04:21,402
Oh, my... I'm sorry. What,
uh, what can I do for you?

86
00:04:21,483 --> 00:04:24,601
I'm heading the design team that's
building the enclosure for the box.

87
00:04:24,684 --> 00:04:28,522
- It's time for the concept meeting.
- Concept meeting?

88
00:04:28,651 --> 00:04:32,521
Okay. I'm just going to
show you a few pictures,

89
00:04:32,603 --> 00:04:34,842
and you tell me which
ones you like, okay?

90
00:04:34,923 --> 00:04:36,602
Okay. Sure.

91
00:04:47,243 --> 00:04:49,082
Look, wait, hold on.

92
00:04:49,163 --> 00:04:51,162
I thought you were going to
show me pictures of boxes.

93
00:04:51,244 --> 00:04:54,090
- Like data storage devices.
- Before I can actualize a box,

94
00:04:54,172 --> 00:04:57,050
you and I need to develop a
shared aesthetic vocabulary.

95
00:04:57,164 --> 00:04:59,049
Otherwise, I have no idea
what you're going to want.

96
00:04:59,132 --> 00:05:02,202
Um, I have a lot of
work to do right now.

97
00:05:02,283 --> 00:05:04,570
This is work. This is my work.

98
00:05:04,684 --> 00:05:06,970
What we're doing here
could actually save time.

99
00:05:07,083 --> 00:05:10,362
- Okay. Sure. Yeah. Uh...
- Let's just make this simple.

100
00:05:10,444 --> 00:05:13,642
If the box were an animal, what
sort of animal would it be?

101
00:05:13,724 --> 00:05:15,530
Leopard?

102
00:05:15,612 --> 00:05:17,482
Butterfly? Rhinoceros?

103
00:05:17,564 --> 00:05:20,650
Stop. Animal? Um, it's a box.

104
00:05:20,732 --> 00:05:22,490
Right? Okay, so if you need an animal,

105
00:05:22,604 --> 00:05:25,210
make it a box turtle.
How does that sound?

106
00:05:25,324 --> 00:05:28,010
So this is all kind of a joke to you?

107
00:05:28,092 --> 00:05:32,170
You know what? I don't actually give a
flying fuck what this box looks like.

108
00:05:32,252 --> 00:05:34,570
Okay, if it was up to me, I wouldn't
even have it in the first place.

109
00:05:34,652 --> 00:05:39,722
So, look, here. This
is a black rectangle.

110
00:05:39,804 --> 00:05:42,362
Make it that. All right?
Because we're going to take it

111
00:05:42,445 --> 00:05:44,890
and put it in a hole in a
subbasement in a data center,

112
00:05:45,004 --> 00:05:49,482
where no one can see it except for a
sad man named John with a ponytail.

113
00:05:49,565 --> 00:05:51,931
Okay? Just make it a box.

114
00:05:52,045 --> 00:05:54,842
And please turn off that fucking music.

115
00:06:04,444 --> 00:06:06,602
Hello!

116
00:06:06,733 --> 00:06:08,571
It appears there has been a mistake.

117
00:06:08,684 --> 00:06:11,243
Is this not my parking space?

118
00:06:11,372 --> 00:06:14,203
Sorry, a lot of premium
spaces are being reassigned.

119
00:06:14,284 --> 00:06:17,611
14-A, you've been reassigned to lot D.

120
00:06:17,693 --> 00:06:19,771
Lot D?

121
00:06:19,885 --> 00:06:23,051
The structure?

122
00:06:23,132 --> 00:06:24,683
Beyond the freeway?

123
00:06:24,813 --> 00:06:27,451
Anywhere above level
three, those are reserved.

124
00:06:27,565 --> 00:06:29,563
There's a shuttle stop
on the ground level.

125
00:06:29,644 --> 00:06:31,403
A shuttle?

126
00:06:38,813 --> 00:06:41,403
Call Gavin Belson. Cell.

127
00:06:47,853 --> 00:06:50,571
<i>Gavin : Greetings,
friend, I'm not available right now.</i>

128
00:06:50,653 --> 00:06:52,363
<i>- Please leave a message after the beep.</i>

129
00:06:52,445 --> 00:06:54,843
<i>I'll get back to you as soon as I can.</i>

130
00:07:00,445 --> 00:07:01,963
What the fuck?
Why isn't this working?

131
00:07:02,045 --> 00:07:04,444
Gilfoyle's preprocessor
and my compressor

132
00:07:04,525 --> 00:07:08,923
should integrate seamlessly.
This should work.

133
00:07:09,005 --> 00:07:11,564
I may have made my preprocessor

134
00:07:11,693 --> 00:07:13,371
slightly faster than you
asked me to, Richard.

135
00:07:13,485 --> 00:07:15,883
What do you mean? How
much slightly faster?

136
00:07:16,014 --> 00:07:18,763
- 200 megs per second.
- You dick.

137
00:07:18,894 --> 00:07:20,972
That's eight times as fast
as the specs required.

138
00:07:21,053 --> 00:07:23,132
No wonder our modules aren't
running at the same speed.

139
00:07:23,246 --> 00:07:25,883
- Why would you do that?
- I tried to make it slow.

140
00:07:25,966 --> 00:07:28,411
I really did. But I'm not Dinesh.

141
00:07:28,525 --> 00:07:30,812
It's very difficult for
me to do shitty work.

142
00:07:30,926 --> 00:07:33,003
So I added a differencing library

143
00:07:33,134 --> 00:07:35,243
and then the whole thing
just took off like a rocket.

144
00:07:35,326 --> 00:07:39,084
Wait, so you're not processing
whole files, just the changes?

145
00:07:39,166 --> 00:07:41,932
- That's actually pretty cool.
- Yeah, I thought so too.

146
00:07:42,013 --> 00:07:43,644
That's why I wrote it.

147
00:07:43,725 --> 00:07:47,692
All right, well, I guess I
should just revert back.

148
00:07:47,774 --> 00:07:52,092
Right? Slow my preprocessor way down.

149
00:07:52,205 --> 00:07:55,484
Although, Richard, couldn't you
just rewrite the compressor

150
00:07:55,566 --> 00:07:57,884
to make it faster so it's compatible?

151
00:07:57,965 --> 00:08:00,924
I mean, these are minimum speeds, right?

152
00:08:01,006 --> 00:08:02,732
Just cause making the box sucks

153
00:08:02,814 --> 00:08:05,004
doesn't mean we have
to suck at making it.

154
00:08:05,086 --> 00:08:08,252
Yeah. Okay. Um, here's one idea.

155
00:08:08,366 --> 00:08:12,924
Uh, what if we actually move
upstream and connect the parser...

156
00:08:13,006 --> 00:08:16,732
directly to the
compressor seed functions.

157
00:08:17,614 --> 00:08:18,924
Okay.

158
00:08:19,054 --> 00:08:20,972
Well, then the whole
thing would really fly.

159
00:08:21,055 --> 00:08:23,612
Yeah. That would rock.

160
00:08:23,726 --> 00:08:27,132
Hey, Richard, do you have a sec? I have
a, uh, preliminary render for you.

161
00:08:30,206 --> 00:08:31,644
What is that?

162
00:08:31,726 --> 00:08:34,252
What do you mean? It's a box.

163
00:08:34,335 --> 00:08:36,510
That's not our box, is it?

164
00:08:36,678 --> 00:08:38,787
Yes. It's exactly what you asked me for.

165
00:08:38,894 --> 00:08:42,205
You drew a rectangle and said if it
was an animal, it'd be a box turtle.

166
00:08:42,286 --> 00:08:45,212
I mean, are you just going to do the
bare minimum and call it a day?

167
00:08:45,326 --> 00:08:46,444
Is that, like, what you do?

168
00:08:46,468 --> 00:08:48,867
You said it didn't matter,
you said you didn't care.

169
00:08:48,927 --> 00:08:50,924
No one's caring about this.
I'm just saying, like,

170
00:08:51,007 --> 00:08:52,765
it's just a matter of pride
and, like, self-respect.

171
00:08:52,846 --> 00:08:55,564
I mean, that's going to go in brochures,
man, that's like an advertisement

172
00:08:55,647 --> 00:08:57,005
to you and the company and everything.

173
00:08:57,086 --> 00:08:58,604
I can maybe add some color to it

174
00:08:58,735 --> 00:09:00,205
and give the bezel a little slam.

175
00:09:00,286 --> 00:09:01,965
There you go. Definitely, a slam.
Slam it.

176
00:09:02,046 --> 00:09:03,533
Yeah, maybe add some more lights.

177
00:09:03,614 --> 00:09:04,733
Sure. Yeah. Well, hey, uh,

178
00:09:04,847 --> 00:09:06,813
what are you doing standing
around here talking about it?

179
00:09:06,927 --> 00:09:08,765
You should go do it, you know.
Go and make the damn thing.

180
00:09:08,847 --> 00:09:10,365
Make it a jaguar 'cause I have a feeling

181
00:09:10,447 --> 00:09:11,805
this baby is going to purr.

182
00:09:11,886 --> 00:09:14,125
I don't care either, but, you know,

183
00:09:14,207 --> 00:09:15,724
I think maybe a gazelle is more like it.

184
00:09:15,807 --> 00:09:17,613
Cause it's synonymous with speed.

185
00:09:17,695 --> 00:09:20,093
Fuck that. A cheetah's faster.

186
00:09:20,207 --> 00:09:21,565
And it kills fucking gazelles.

187
00:09:21,647 --> 00:09:22,973
But I really don't fucking care.

188
00:09:23,087 --> 00:09:25,693
- But definitely cheetah.
- Or a gazelle.

189
00:09:25,807 --> 00:09:27,613
Also, don't throw away
the whole jaguar thing,

190
00:09:27,727 --> 00:09:29,485
- 'cause they're pretty quick too.
- Or a gazelle.

191
00:09:33,775 --> 00:09:35,533
Ah! Jared, Jesus fuck!
What are you doing?

192
00:09:35,615 --> 00:09:37,085
Sorry. I was...

193
00:09:37,167 --> 00:09:39,693
I was just taking a quiet
moment to collect myself.

194
00:09:39,775 --> 00:09:41,485
What the hell is all this shit?

195
00:09:41,615 --> 00:09:43,213
My tenant has been leaving my belongings

196
00:09:43,295 --> 00:09:44,685
in the alley behind my condo,

197
00:09:44,767 --> 00:09:46,173
to make more room for his tenants.

198
00:09:46,287 --> 00:09:48,685
- Your tenant has tenants?
- Yeah.

199
00:09:48,816 --> 00:09:52,493
He's Airbnbing my Airbnb.
So, if it's okay with you,

200
00:09:52,575 --> 00:09:54,974
I might need to stay a
little bit longer, um...

201
00:09:55,087 --> 00:09:58,014
I can go around the back to get
to the bathroom once Fred's here.

202
00:09:58,127 --> 00:10:01,805
- When's he moving in?
- Wouldn't we all like to know.

203
00:10:03,855 --> 00:10:07,565
Fred, Erlich Bachman. You said you'd
get back to me about the room.

204
00:10:07,647 --> 00:10:10,445
I don't mean to pressure you,
but I need you to decide now.

205
00:10:10,527 --> 00:10:12,365
In this moment, on this phone call.

206
00:10:12,448 --> 00:10:15,934
I am literally standing within
feet of three potential candidates

207
00:10:16,048 --> 00:10:19,134
whose selves I could
easily tell to go fuck...

208
00:10:19,247 --> 00:10:20,813
Good? What do you mean good?

209
00:10:20,896 --> 00:10:22,894
What does that mean, you're good?

210
00:10:22,976 --> 00:10:27,614
What? What other incubator? Where?
What is the address?

211
00:10:27,727 --> 00:10:31,086
Because I want to send
them a fucking nice gift.

212
00:10:41,296 --> 00:10:44,894
Fucking "Miami Vice,"
disgusting architecture!

213
00:10:49,008 --> 00:10:51,566
Hey, man. What are you doing here?

214
00:10:51,648 --> 00:10:53,166
What the fuck are you doing here?

215
00:10:53,248 --> 00:10:55,054
What do you mean? This is my house.

216
00:10:55,136 --> 00:10:56,366
Crazy, right?

217
00:10:56,496 --> 00:10:59,486
This place is huge.

218
00:11:00,816 --> 00:11:02,206
Did you want to...?

219
00:11:02,288 --> 00:11:05,134
Yes, it would be polite for you
to invite me into your home

220
00:11:05,216 --> 00:11:06,926
and offer me a Push Pop, yes.

221
00:11:07,008 --> 00:11:09,407
I'm sorry. You're telling me

222
00:11:09,488 --> 00:11:11,327
that we should spend less time together?

223
00:11:11,408 --> 00:11:12,846
Absolutely, Chela.

224
00:11:12,976 --> 00:11:16,206
Well, I have to say,
this is a big relief.

225
00:11:16,336 --> 00:11:18,894
In all candor, I was feeling the same,

226
00:11:18,976 --> 00:11:23,166
but I thought that discussing
it with you might be awkward.

227
00:11:23,249 --> 00:11:24,894
Not at all.

228
00:11:25,008 --> 00:11:27,695
You are ready, Chela,
to stand on your own,

229
00:11:27,776 --> 00:11:30,126
to weather the challenges of the future,

230
00:11:30,208 --> 00:11:34,734
and the rumors swirling
about your leadership.

231
00:11:36,337 --> 00:11:37,454
Be well, Gavin.

232
00:11:37,537 --> 00:11:40,767
I'm-- I'm sorry. Wait, what...
what rumors?

233
00:11:40,848 --> 00:11:43,647
There is talk that in the
face of a growing threat

234
00:11:43,728 --> 00:11:47,375
from Richard Hendricks and Pied
Piper, armed with a powerful new CEO,

235
00:11:47,457 --> 00:11:50,175
- that you have done nothing.
- Well, yes, but--

236
00:11:50,288 --> 00:11:54,767
That by shuttering Nucleus, you have
left them to gather strength unopposed,

237
00:11:54,848 --> 00:11:59,407
ceding the entire space. Some are saying
this is a show of great weakness.

238
00:11:59,488 --> 00:12:02,447
Who? Who exactly is saying this?

239
00:12:03,969 --> 00:12:06,254
Well, people talk.

240
00:12:06,337 --> 00:12:09,007
In the halls, in the cafeteria,
on the parking shuttle.

241
00:12:09,136 --> 00:12:12,175
Wait, should... should I
be worried about this?

242
00:12:14,129 --> 00:12:16,207
The beauty is...

243
00:12:16,337 --> 00:12:19,567
now you have all the answers.

244
00:12:20,689 --> 00:12:25,647
Yes? All right.

245
00:12:25,729 --> 00:12:28,767
Denpok, please.

246
00:12:28,849 --> 00:12:31,935
Will you sit back down?
I need your help.

247
00:12:32,049 --> 00:12:36,095
- Of course.
- Thank you.

248
00:12:37,569 --> 00:12:41,535
Clearly, we have come far,
but we still have far to go.

249
00:12:41,649 --> 00:12:45,007
Not as far as lot D,

250
00:12:45,089 --> 00:12:47,455
but far nonetheless.

251
00:12:48,609 --> 00:12:50,448
Look what you guys built.

252
00:12:50,529 --> 00:12:53,647
You can't help but be elegant,
you're like Audrey Hepburn.

253
00:12:53,777 --> 00:12:54,688
Ah, here they come.

254
00:12:54,769 --> 00:12:56,847
Well, I know we made a big deal

255
00:12:56,930 --> 00:13:00,015
about just doing your absolute
minimum of your specs,

256
00:13:00,098 --> 00:13:02,607
but one thing led to
another and, well, Jack,

257
00:13:02,690 --> 00:13:05,535
buckle your seatbelt because I'd
like to introduce you to...

258
00:13:05,649 --> 00:13:07,216
Richard, just save it.

259
00:13:07,297 --> 00:13:11,168
Just got off the phone with
Calvin Greene, CEO of Maleant.

260
00:13:11,249 --> 00:13:13,488
- They're pulling out.
- What?

261
00:13:13,617 --> 00:13:15,808
- How can they just pull out?
- Because they shopped our deal

262
00:13:15,889 --> 00:13:17,968
and got a better bid from
another appliance maker,

263
00:13:18,098 --> 00:13:20,368
so Maleant's out, they fucked us.

264
00:13:20,450 --> 00:13:21,695
- Oh.
- Yeah.

265
00:13:21,810 --> 00:13:24,448
So, probably we should just push pause

266
00:13:24,529 --> 00:13:28,688
on the whole box thing until we
figure out where to go from here.

267
00:13:28,769 --> 00:13:32,176
Okay. Uh, I... actually, I have a...
I have a question.

268
00:13:32,257 --> 00:13:35,168
Yeah, I know. I know. I know,
Richard, we had an arrangement,

269
00:13:35,250 --> 00:13:37,807
but that was all based on
closing the Maleant deal.

270
00:13:37,938 --> 00:13:39,936
- So now we have to figure out--
- No, no. Sorry, um...

271
00:13:40,050 --> 00:13:41,968
No, my question is, uh,
who did they go with?

272
00:13:42,098 --> 00:13:44,416
Whose box do they think is
that much better than ours?

273
00:13:44,529 --> 00:13:47,856
- Oh, uh, Dectosphere.
- Dectosphere?

274
00:13:47,938 --> 00:13:49,616
It's a brick with a power cord.

275
00:13:49,698 --> 00:13:52,688
Yeah. But I hear their new 43-11s,

276
00:13:52,818 --> 00:13:55,936
they're going to be hitting
close to 75 megs per second.

277
00:13:56,050 --> 00:13:58,448
Uh, we can do 200.

278
00:14:00,770 --> 00:14:01,650
What?

279
00:14:01,673 --> 00:14:04,311
Yeah. You think you can get me
in a room with Calvin Greene?

280
00:14:04,370 --> 00:14:06,816
This is the pool.
The first night I was here,

281
00:14:06,930 --> 00:14:08,288
I turned the heat, like, all the way up,

282
00:14:08,371 --> 00:14:11,216
and half the water evaporated overnight.
It's crazy.

283
00:14:11,299 --> 00:14:13,888
Well, I hope you own a skimmer
because there's a massive turd

284
00:14:13,970 --> 00:14:16,176
floating on the surface of your pool.

285
00:14:16,259 --> 00:14:19,216
Who, Fred? Fred's great, man.

286
00:14:19,298 --> 00:14:21,888
He's got this really cool, um,
malware cataloguing thing--

287
00:14:21,970 --> 00:14:24,848
Cut the shit, Big Head. I see
exactly what you're doing.

288
00:14:24,931 --> 00:14:27,728
Poaching my tenants? You
stole my business model.

289
00:14:27,859 --> 00:14:30,016
What? No. Dude, it's
not like that at all.

290
00:14:30,131 --> 00:14:32,657
It's just this house has,
like, nine bedrooms.

291
00:14:32,738 --> 00:14:34,289
You have any idea how
scary that gets at night?

292
00:14:34,370 --> 00:14:36,289
So I just wanted to have
some roommates around,

293
00:14:36,370 --> 00:14:39,808
but, um, you know, I felt weird
charging them rent, cause, you know.

294
00:14:39,891 --> 00:14:41,249
No, I don't.

295
00:14:41,330 --> 00:14:44,017
Well, it's like, 20 million, you
know, so I don't really need it,

296
00:14:44,099 --> 00:14:47,409
but then they felt weird living
here without paying me anything,

297
00:14:47,490 --> 00:14:49,617
so they offered me pieces of
their startups. That's all.

298
00:14:49,699 --> 00:14:53,457
You just admitted to starting
a competing incubator.

299
00:14:53,539 --> 00:14:56,369
I've caught you in a web of
your own lies, haven't I?

300
00:14:56,451 --> 00:14:59,009
I don't think so. Wait, have you?

301
00:14:59,091 --> 00:15:01,009
All right, Big Head. You
want to play it that way?

302
00:15:01,091 --> 00:15:03,889
If it's a fight you want,
then a fight you shall have.

303
00:15:04,019 --> 00:15:06,449
All of you!

304
00:15:07,571 --> 00:15:09,329
See you, buddy.

305
00:15:13,011 --> 00:15:15,009
Big Head.

306
00:15:26,692 --> 00:15:27,889
Fuck!

307
00:15:28,019 --> 00:15:30,337
What are we doing here?

308
00:15:30,451 --> 00:15:31,890
Why are we fighting like this?

309
00:15:31,971 --> 00:15:33,537
I mean, I'm going to steal your guys,

310
00:15:33,651 --> 00:15:35,089
you're gonna steal my guys.

311
00:15:35,219 --> 00:15:37,537
We'll both wield the heft of
our considerable fortunes

312
00:15:37,652 --> 00:15:39,889
until each of us have
nearly nothing left.

313
00:15:40,020 --> 00:15:42,129
Is that really what you want? Me either.

314
00:15:42,211 --> 00:15:45,009
So what do you say we join forces?

315
00:15:45,139 --> 00:15:46,369
I'm big enough.

316
00:15:46,451 --> 00:15:52,098
Are you, Big Head? Partners?

317
00:15:52,211 --> 00:15:54,129
- Okay.
- Attaboy.

318
00:15:54,212 --> 00:15:56,530
All right, I'm going to take a spin
on that fancy Japanese toilet,

319
00:15:56,611 --> 00:15:59,778
and then let's get to work figuring
out which one of these bedrooms

320
00:15:59,891 --> 00:16:02,050
is going to be my office.

321
00:16:03,460 --> 00:16:07,618
Consider the bulldog.
A grotesque monstrosity

322
00:16:07,731 --> 00:16:09,458
born of relentless inbreeding.

323
00:16:09,540 --> 00:16:13,410
Riddled with sinusitis,
crippled by joint pain.

324
00:16:13,491 --> 00:16:16,610
Chronically flatulent.

325
00:16:16,692 --> 00:16:21,138
A kindly pet, or humanity's
cruelest mistake?

326
00:16:22,100 --> 00:16:25,618
All right, take it away.

327
00:16:25,700 --> 00:16:28,690
Ladies and gentlemen, just
like that horrible creature,

328
00:16:28,772 --> 00:16:31,890
the entire Nucleus program was
the result of inbreeding.

329
00:16:31,972 --> 00:16:36,018
We mated Hooli engineers with Hooli
designers in a Hooli kennel.

330
00:16:36,100 --> 00:16:41,010
Is it any wonder the result was
just as unspeakable as that thing?

331
00:16:41,140 --> 00:16:42,450
Bring it back here.

332
00:16:42,532 --> 00:16:45,970
Look at that hideous face.

333
00:16:46,052 --> 00:16:48,098
All right, get it out of here!

334
00:16:49,172 --> 00:16:51,011
I'm sorry, Gavin. What's your point?

335
00:16:51,092 --> 00:16:54,610
My point is just as not all dogs
are as flawed as the bulldog,

336
00:16:54,740 --> 00:16:58,050
not all compression plays
are as flawed as Nucleus.

337
00:16:58,132 --> 00:17:01,650
Our execution was lacking,
but the idea was correct.

338
00:17:01,781 --> 00:17:04,210
Our only mistake was looking inward.

339
00:17:04,292 --> 00:17:07,539
It is now time to look outward.

340
00:17:11,221 --> 00:17:13,491
I mean, this guy did all of the work.

341
00:17:13,572 --> 00:17:15,890
Ten minutes after we leave
Calvin Greene's office,

342
00:17:15,973 --> 00:17:18,451
he calls me up and says,
"Hey, you got me. How much?"

343
00:17:18,580 --> 00:17:22,291
I just showed them the box,
Jack's the one who made the deal.

344
00:17:22,420 --> 00:17:24,499
Good feelings, happy feelings.

345
00:17:24,580 --> 00:17:29,619
So Big Head built a better version
of your incubator, accidentally.

346
00:17:29,701 --> 00:17:32,258
- Correct.
- And he didn't even realize it?

347
00:17:32,920 --> 00:17:34,042
Also correct.

348
00:17:34,127 --> 00:17:37,195
And your solution to that was
to go into business with him?

349
00:17:37,301 --> 00:17:40,371
Big Head? The guy you
once called more useless

350
00:17:40,453 --> 00:17:42,371
than a bag of dicks without a handle?

351
00:17:42,453 --> 00:17:45,490
Dinesh, don't fall for his
"aw, shucks" routine.

352
00:17:45,573 --> 00:17:47,331
He is a shrewd businessman.

353
00:17:47,412 --> 00:17:50,179
And together, we have over 20 million

354
00:17:50,292 --> 00:17:53,251
and 36,000 dollars at our disposal.

355
00:17:53,333 --> 00:17:57,891
Now, if you'll excuse
me, on to Pied Piper.

356
00:17:57,972 --> 00:18:04,211
I have a board meeting, and this board
ain't exactly gonna meet itself.

357
00:18:04,293 --> 00:18:05,651
Our subsequent order of business

358
00:18:05,733 --> 00:18:07,651
is the approval of Pied Piper's redraft

359
00:18:07,733 --> 00:18:09,971
of the hardware requisition agreement

360
00:18:10,101 --> 00:18:11,731
with Maleant Data Systems Solutions.

361
00:18:11,814 --> 00:18:14,499
- Ah, yeah.
- The main event.

362
00:18:14,613 --> 00:18:18,180
We've all read the latest
sales agreement, yes?

363
00:18:18,293 --> 00:18:19,971
Actually, I don't think I was CC'd on--

364
00:18:20,053 --> 00:18:22,099
So I believe we can move
straightforward to a vote?

365
00:18:22,181 --> 00:18:24,851
Actually, I'm sorry. I
have an issue with, uh,

366
00:18:24,981 --> 00:18:26,500
section 14, paragraph two.

367
00:18:26,614 --> 00:18:29,651
Um, it states that Maleant
has exclusive rights

368
00:18:29,733 --> 00:18:33,011
to purchase any appliance made by
Pied Piper for the next five years.

369
00:18:33,093 --> 00:18:35,571
Oh, uh, yeah. Jack gave them
exclusive rights to the box

370
00:18:35,654 --> 00:18:37,460
so that we would get a
better price upfront.

371
00:18:37,541 --> 00:18:39,459
Right, but this language is far broader.

372
00:18:39,573 --> 00:18:43,380
They actually have exclusive rights to use
the underlying algorithm in any form.

373
00:18:43,461 --> 00:18:44,979
Oh, no. That's not right at all.

374
00:18:45,062 --> 00:18:47,251
Yeah, so I think, Jack, we're
going to have to go back to them

375
00:18:47,382 --> 00:18:48,532
and just change the language here.

376
00:18:48,613 --> 00:18:51,812
We're not going to be able to do that.

377
00:18:54,582 --> 00:18:56,292
And, uh, why not?

378
00:18:56,374 --> 00:18:59,940
Because that was the specific
language which Maleant requested

379
00:19:00,054 --> 00:19:04,660
when I got them to pay three times
as much for each one of our boxes.

380
00:19:04,742 --> 00:19:07,412
It's a white label deal,
so they have the right

381
00:19:07,494 --> 00:19:09,652
to resell these boxes in
any form they choose.

382
00:19:09,782 --> 00:19:12,900
Yeah, but Jack, if they have
exclusive rights to the algorithm,

383
00:19:13,014 --> 00:19:15,412
then we can't use the algorithm
to build the platform.

384
00:19:15,494 --> 00:19:18,580
For five years. They wanted
seven, I talked them down.

385
00:19:18,662 --> 00:19:21,412
I know, but you said that we could build
the platform once we gave you the box.

386
00:19:21,493 --> 00:19:24,660
Yes, but I never specified a timeframe.

387
00:19:24,742 --> 00:19:26,020
Are you serious?

388
00:19:26,134 --> 00:19:28,580
I save your ass and you stab
me in the back like this?

389
00:19:28,694 --> 00:19:31,060
- In the front, Richard.
- Laurie, did you know about this?

390
00:19:31,143 --> 00:19:33,892
- I did not.
- Well, then, good, okay.

391
00:19:33,974 --> 00:19:36,693
So it won't go through, because
Laurie's not going to vote for it.

392
00:19:36,774 --> 00:19:41,300
Richard, this is complicated.

393
00:19:41,382 --> 00:19:44,740
If one goes strictly by the
numbers, these numbers,

394
00:19:44,854 --> 00:19:48,580
you have built a box
that is so valuable,

395
00:19:48,694 --> 00:19:51,572
I am now obligated to
vote in favor of it.

396
00:19:51,655 --> 00:19:55,333
Laurie, this deal is peanuts.
The platform could be worth

397
00:19:55,414 --> 00:19:57,413
a thousand times what the box is worth.

398
00:19:57,494 --> 00:19:59,941
It could be, correct, however--

399
00:20:00,054 --> 00:20:02,853
This is theoretical, Richard.

400
00:20:02,934 --> 00:20:04,581
You don't have a price point, I do,

401
00:20:04,694 --> 00:20:07,892
and she has a fiduciary obligation
as a member of the board

402
00:20:07,975 --> 00:20:10,501
to vote for the box. On the page,

403
00:20:10,614 --> 00:20:13,381
this is in the best interest of
the company. Am I wrong, Laurie?

404
00:20:13,494 --> 00:20:15,733
That is factually correct.

405
00:20:15,862 --> 00:20:19,573
You remember when you tried to
end run me and kill the box?

406
00:20:19,702 --> 00:20:21,780
Well, she couldn't do a
goddamn thing about it then.

407
00:20:21,863 --> 00:20:25,781
And she can't do a goddamn
thing about it now.

408
00:20:25,863 --> 00:20:28,741
Simple majority ratifies the
agreement, all in favor.

409
00:20:28,854 --> 00:20:32,693
Are you kidding me? What the
fuck is going on right now?

410
00:20:32,775 --> 00:20:33,735
Laurie.

411
00:20:33,759 --> 00:20:36,637
I wasn't carbon copied on
this particular email,

412
00:20:36,695 --> 00:20:39,413
so I stand with Richard.

413
00:20:39,543 --> 00:20:42,741
Um, Richard,

414
00:20:42,823 --> 00:20:46,133
you know how I voted to fire
you a couple months ago?

415
00:20:46,263 --> 00:20:48,021
And I said that I did
it to stay in the game

416
00:20:48,103 --> 00:20:49,621
so that maybe at some
point in the future,

417
00:20:49,703 --> 00:20:52,053
I could do something to help?

418
00:20:52,135 --> 00:20:54,133
Well, Laurie,

419
00:20:54,263 --> 00:20:57,493
I know you'll probably
replace me on the board

420
00:20:57,575 --> 00:20:59,061
and call for a revote tomorrow,

421
00:20:59,143 --> 00:21:01,174
but I'm here today.

422
00:21:01,303 --> 00:21:04,421
And I don't have any
metrics to back it up,

423
00:21:04,535 --> 00:21:07,701
but I honestly believe that the
platform that Richard wants to build

424
00:21:07,783 --> 00:21:11,222
will be far more lucrative in
the long term than any box.

425
00:21:11,303 --> 00:21:16,661
So, at least for today, I'm voting no.

426
00:21:17,623 --> 00:21:19,093
Motion denied.

427
00:21:24,264 --> 00:21:27,494
We will be reconvening tomorrow.

428
00:21:27,575 --> 00:21:32,854
And if I could get a, uh, an email,
be CC'd on the latest draft...

429
00:21:34,504 --> 00:21:36,342
I couldn't sit there and
watch them do that to you.

430
00:21:36,424 --> 00:21:38,933
I just hope I don't end
up fired over this.

431
00:21:39,064 --> 00:21:41,222
Well, what you did took incredible guts.

432
00:21:41,336 --> 00:21:43,733
And the fact that it probably
won't make any difference

433
00:21:43,864 --> 00:21:46,182
makes it all the more meaningful.

434
00:21:46,296 --> 00:21:50,134
Right, I saw this nature documentary
where a bison fought a lion

435
00:21:50,216 --> 00:21:53,654
to protect the rest of the herd.
And it was so moving.

436
00:21:53,783 --> 00:21:57,174
Um, it didn't work, the lion,
uh, tore into the bison

437
00:21:57,304 --> 00:22:00,614
and then laid waste to the
herd, but what courage.

438
00:22:00,696 --> 00:22:02,822
Thank you, Jared.

439
00:22:02,936 --> 00:22:05,782
You guys just had to make
a great box, didn't you?

440
00:22:05,864 --> 00:22:08,374
You couldn't phone it in.

441
00:22:08,456 --> 00:22:12,822
Uh, guys, Gavin Belson is calling me.
Again.

442
00:22:12,904 --> 00:22:15,734
- What the fuck does he want?
- Hello?

443
00:22:15,816 --> 00:22:19,414
Richard Hendricks, just checking
in, seeing if you heard the news.

444
00:22:19,496 --> 00:22:22,423
- What news?
- Mm.

445
00:22:22,504 --> 00:22:25,303
Obviously, you don't have your
Hooli news alerts up to date.

446
00:22:25,384 --> 00:22:27,462
Go to the site. I'll wait.

447
00:22:29,097 --> 00:22:32,502
- Go to the Hooli news website.
- Okay.

448
00:22:35,736 --> 00:22:38,054
It's an ad.

449
00:22:38,137 --> 00:22:39,814
Um, it's an ad. Hold on.

450
00:22:39,896 --> 00:22:41,815
Just wait four seconds, and
you can click to skip it.

451
00:22:41,944 --> 00:22:44,295
Just wait four seconds and
then you can click it.

452
00:22:44,376 --> 00:22:46,775
No, it's the kind where you have
to watch the whole fucking thing.

453
00:22:46,856 --> 00:22:48,214
It's the whole ad kind.

454
00:22:48,345 --> 00:22:51,303
I thought we stopped doing those.
Goddamn it.

455
00:22:51,417 --> 00:22:54,055
Well, regardless, what you'll see
once the paid announcement is over,

456
00:22:54,137 --> 00:22:58,695
is that I just closed a
250 million dollar deal

457
00:22:58,776 --> 00:23:01,463
to acquire a little
company called Endframe.

458
00:23:01,544 --> 00:23:05,655
I thought you'd want to know.
Update those Hooli news alerts.

459
00:23:05,736 --> 00:23:07,335
Also, I invite you to click yes,

460
00:23:07,417 --> 00:23:11,975
if our ad experience was relevant to you.
Be well, Richard.

461
00:23:12,056 --> 00:23:13,414
What did he say?

462
00:23:13,497 --> 00:23:15,143
Oh, my God.

463
00:23:15,257 --> 00:23:18,262
"Gavin Belson announces
deal to acquire Endframe,

464
00:23:18,345 --> 00:23:23,575
"a middle-out compression platform
company, for 250 million dollars."

465
00:23:23,657 --> 00:23:26,775
Even after they shit
the bed with Nucleus,

466
00:23:26,904 --> 00:23:29,335
Hooli gets to build our
platform and we don't?

467
00:23:33,497 --> 00:23:36,135
- What is funny about this?
- He's intoxicated.

468
00:23:36,217 --> 00:23:39,255
No. No... yes, but don't you see?

469
00:23:39,337 --> 00:23:42,695
Gavin, in trying to fuck
us, just saved our asses.

470
00:23:42,777 --> 00:23:47,383
He's right. He's right.

471
00:23:47,466 --> 00:23:50,823
My gosh. Oh, my gosh, he's right.

472
00:23:50,937 --> 00:23:54,184
- Holy shit.
- I am so confused right now.

473
00:23:54,297 --> 00:23:56,856
Gavin set a p--

474
00:23:56,985 --> 00:23:59,703
- He set the--
- The price point.

475
00:23:59,786 --> 00:24:01,656
- Yes.
- Yes, yes, yes.

476
00:24:01,737 --> 00:24:05,575
Yes, thanks to Gavin, Endframe, a
middle-out compression platform,

477
00:24:05,657 --> 00:24:08,103
is objectively worth
250 million dollars.

478
00:24:08,218 --> 00:24:12,264
Wait, okay. We are a middle-out
compression platform company.

479
00:24:12,377 --> 00:24:15,496
Are we worth 250 million dollars?

480
00:24:15,577 --> 00:24:17,495
There's no way the box makes
us worth a fraction of that.

481
00:24:17,578 --> 00:24:19,144
Laurie couldn't vote for the platform

482
00:24:19,257 --> 00:24:21,416
because she couldn't assign
a dollar value to it.

483
00:24:21,498 --> 00:24:23,464
Well, Gavin has just done that.

484
00:24:23,578 --> 00:24:25,063
He's validated the market so there's...

485
00:24:25,177 --> 00:24:27,704
there's no reason to revote. We win.

486
00:24:27,786 --> 00:24:31,256
I can't wait to see the look
on that AAR prick's face

487
00:24:31,385 --> 00:24:35,784
when we come in there and gut him like a--

488
00:24:35,898 --> 00:24:38,584
- Is he okay?
- He's going to be fine.

489
00:24:38,666 --> 00:24:40,936
Welcome, men and ladies of Endframe.

490
00:24:41,018 --> 00:24:43,784
Rather than incestuously promoting
the same faces from within,

491
00:24:43,898 --> 00:24:49,656
you represent fresh blood, new ideas.
Everything Nucleus was not.

492
00:24:49,786 --> 00:24:55,416
It is my honor to personally
welcome you all to Hooli.

493
00:24:57,258 --> 00:24:58,904
Does he really not remember us?

494
00:24:58,986 --> 00:25:01,816
How long did you work at Hooli?
The last time?

495
00:25:01,946 --> 00:25:03,464
Seven years.

496
00:25:03,578 --> 00:25:07,224
I was here for nine. He was
invited to my wedding.

497
00:25:08,698 --> 00:25:11,416
I hope Jack doesn't cry.

498
00:25:11,546 --> 00:25:13,496
I really hope he does.

499
00:25:15,706 --> 00:25:19,256
Hey, Gloria. Lynn.

500
00:25:19,386 --> 00:25:22,984
- Did they both get fired?
- I don't...

501
00:25:23,098 --> 00:25:26,185
Laurie. What are you doing here?
Where's Jack?

502
00:25:26,298 --> 00:25:30,985
Uh, as you may recall, at our
board meeting last night,

503
00:25:31,098 --> 00:25:34,856
Jack said that he would get his
way, and that, in his words,

504
00:25:34,938 --> 00:25:39,257
I, quote, "couldn't do a goddamn
thing about it," end quote.

505
00:25:39,338 --> 00:25:43,305
Well, in light of recent activities,

506
00:25:43,419 --> 00:25:45,816
it appears that I could do
a goddamn thing about it.

507
00:25:45,947 --> 00:25:49,225
And I just did. Jack
Barker has been exited.

508
00:25:49,338 --> 00:25:52,824
- Fuck me sideways.
- Indeed.

509
00:25:52,907 --> 00:25:54,265
Effective immediately,

510
00:25:54,346 --> 00:25:57,576
you are all at liberty to
commence work upon the platform.

511
00:25:57,659 --> 00:26:00,825
Okay. Wow.

512
00:26:00,907 --> 00:26:04,217
Yeah, uh, uh, I just got to ask, um,

513
00:26:04,298 --> 00:26:07,897
with Jack not being CEO
anymore, am I CEO again?

514
00:26:07,979 --> 00:26:10,137
You are not.

515
00:26:10,267 --> 00:26:12,185
Nor are you, Mr. Bachman.

516
00:26:12,267 --> 00:26:14,425
I'm sorry, if I'm not CEO,
Erlich isn't, Jack isn't,

517
00:26:14,507 --> 00:26:16,105
who is going to run Pied Piper then?

518
00:26:16,218 --> 00:26:20,697
Officially, and until further notice,

519
00:26:20,779 --> 00:26:23,305
this chair will remain empty.

520
00:26:23,419 --> 00:26:25,785
- Really?
- Excuse me.
