1
00:00:00,267 --> 00:00:03,839
Previously on AMC's Halt & Catch Fire...

2
00:00:03,840 --> 00:00:06,153
This here is the new
Senior Product Manager

3
00:00:06,154 --> 00:00:08,680
at Cardiff Electric's new
Personal Computer Division.

4
00:00:08,681 --> 00:00:10,177
What exactly are we building?

5
00:00:10,313 --> 00:00:11,905
That's physically impossible.

6
00:00:11,906 --> 00:00:14,136
This ever goes to trial, you'll lose.

7
00:00:14,137 --> 00:00:17,672
You got a ROM chip, that's like the
brain that remembers all the words.

8
00:00:17,673 --> 00:00:19,375
We need her writing BIOS code.

9
00:00:19,376 --> 00:00:20,545
You're stuck.

10
00:00:20,546 --> 00:00:22,211
Do you even know what you're trying to do?

11
00:00:22,212 --> 00:00:25,222
I did what I did because it was
right. For you, for me, for everybody.

12
00:00:25,223 --> 00:00:26,631
- What's happening?
- We're being raided.

13
00:00:26,632 --> 00:00:30,302
- IBM just sliced our throats.
- Tell me you have a plan, Joe.

14
00:00:30,802 --> 00:00:31,621
Is it alive?

15
00:00:31,622 --> 00:00:32,711
Mommy, is it okay?

16
00:00:32,712 --> 00:00:34,547
Mommy, fix it. Make it better.

17
00:00:34,548 --> 00:00:36,468
Girls, girls, Mommy's
gonna be right back, okay?

18
00:00:36,469 --> 00:00:38,658
Why don't its wings work?

19
00:00:39,439 --> 00:00:42,451
Gordon, is it breathing?

20
00:00:42,452 --> 00:00:44,022
Barely.

21
00:00:44,023 --> 00:00:45,857
Yeah, watch out for mites.

22
00:00:45,858 --> 00:00:48,462
Well, is there something we can do?

23
00:00:48,463 --> 00:00:52,276
- Give it some water, or...
- I think we're beyond that.

24
00:00:54,817 --> 00:00:57,055
I should take it to the vet.

25
00:00:57,056 --> 00:00:59,026
Honey, the girls have to get to school.

26
00:00:59,027 --> 00:01:01,200
And with your car in the shop...

27
00:01:01,201 --> 00:01:03,005
Yeah, yeah, you're right.

28
00:01:03,006 --> 00:01:04,673
Hey, you need a ride, neighbor?

29
00:01:04,674 --> 00:01:07,454
Oh, that would be so great.

30
00:01:09,753 --> 00:01:13,393
- Yeah, thanks, Brian.
- Hey, no problemo.

31
00:01:14,832 --> 00:01:16,298
Poor little sucker.

32
00:01:16,299 --> 00:01:19,568
Let go, let God, right?

33
00:01:23,009 --> 00:01:25,645
Hey, man.

34
00:01:25,646 --> 00:01:27,716
Don't sweat today.

35
00:01:27,717 --> 00:01:30,453
You can do this.

36
00:01:32,000 --> 00:01:38,074
Advertise your product or brand here
contact www.OpenSubtitles.org today

37
00:02:23,310 --> 00:02:28,113
Look, it's not your fault.

38
00:02:28,114 --> 00:02:30,250
It's no one's fault.

39
00:02:30,251 --> 00:02:32,488
It's like when you get an early snow

40
00:02:32,489 --> 00:02:35,160
and it freezes your orange grove.

41
00:02:35,161 --> 00:02:37,996
And then the farmer has to find

42
00:02:37,997 --> 00:02:40,968
another way to deliver the juice.

43
00:02:40,969 --> 00:02:47,378
Even if every snowflake
is totally unique like you.

44
00:02:48,981 --> 00:02:52,553
- Gordon, what the hell?
- You're my 11:45.

45
00:02:52,554 --> 00:02:54,644
You got us milling around out
there like a bunch of Frenchmen.

46
00:02:54,645 --> 00:02:56,814
Randy, I'm with someone.

47
00:02:56,815 --> 00:02:59,085
I'll wait in line for a Ferris
wheel. I'll wait in line for a beer.

48
00:02:59,086 --> 00:03:01,655
But damned if I'll wait
around till 11:45 to get fired

49
00:03:01,656 --> 00:03:03,456
by flipping you or flipping Joe MacMillan.

50
00:03:03,457 --> 00:03:05,291
Wait, you're firing me? I'm being fired?

51
00:03:05,292 --> 00:03:08,126
- Just calm down.
- My reference letter.

52
00:03:08,127 --> 00:03:10,127
And don't worry, I wrote it myself.

53
00:03:10,128 --> 00:03:11,829
Sign it.

54
00:03:11,830 --> 00:03:13,764
Oh, my God, I gotta call Patty.

55
00:03:13,765 --> 00:03:15,564
And can I just say

56
00:03:15,565 --> 00:03:17,596
on behalf of a once-great company,

57
00:03:17,597 --> 00:03:19,832
I look forward to driving past here

58
00:03:19,833 --> 00:03:21,902
when the "For Lease" signs
get nailed to the lawn

59
00:03:21,903 --> 00:03:25,771
and your little PC vision
quest crashes and burns.

60
00:03:58,423 --> 00:04:02,789
Sync and corrections by awaqeded
www. addic7ed. com

61
00:04:05,017 --> 00:04:07,584
28 pounds.

62
00:04:07,585 --> 00:04:10,527
That's not portable, that's luggable.

63
00:04:10,528 --> 00:04:12,153
And those are the combined sales figures

64
00:04:12,154 --> 00:04:14,520
for Coleco, Vectrex, and Atari.

65
00:04:14,521 --> 00:04:17,188
- Video games.
- Microcomputers.

66
00:04:17,189 --> 00:04:20,588
Proof that America wants
these machines in their homes.

67
00:04:20,589 --> 00:04:22,921
And how did the PC business respond?

68
00:04:22,922 --> 00:04:27,794
With a cassette deck, a sewing
machine, and a carburetor.

69
00:04:29,996 --> 00:04:32,662
We're not making a carburetor.

70
00:04:34,535 --> 00:04:36,835
We're making this.

71
00:04:36,836 --> 00:04:40,001
By the end of this year, Cardiff
Electric will release to the market

72
00:04:40,002 --> 00:04:43,536
a truly portable computer
with two disk drives,

73
00:04:43,537 --> 00:04:46,271
integrated screen, and keyboard,

74
00:04:46,272 --> 00:04:49,506
weighing no more than 15 pounds.

75
00:04:53,152 --> 00:04:55,176
Anyone that knows anything
about microprocessing...

76
00:04:55,177 --> 00:04:57,042
You've got that number
wrong, right, Gordon?

77
00:04:57,043 --> 00:04:58,911
It's gonna take a million dollars

78
00:04:58,912 --> 00:05:00,879
and four times the size of this desk...

79
00:05:00,880 --> 00:05:03,547
Yes, that's correct.

80
00:05:03,548 --> 00:05:05,214
It's ambitious.

81
00:05:05,215 --> 00:05:07,349
You know who was good with screens?

82
00:05:07,350 --> 00:05:09,019
- Randy.
- Sure was.

83
00:05:09,020 --> 00:05:11,552
Say, where is Randy? Oh,
that's right, you fired him.

84
00:05:11,553 --> 00:05:13,586
Run out to the parking lot.
Maybe you can flag him down.

85
00:05:13,587 --> 00:05:15,188
- Gordon, outside.
- Guys, relax.

86
00:05:15,189 --> 00:05:17,192
No, I'm not relaxing. Wake up, Brian.

87
00:05:17,193 --> 00:05:19,338
We used to build products
that people would buy.

88
00:05:19,339 --> 00:05:20,835
We're not even in reality anymore.

89
00:05:20,836 --> 00:05:22,476
- Listen...
- Larry, we're dealing with...

90
00:05:24,408 --> 00:05:26,007
These are the guys you chose?

91
00:05:26,008 --> 00:05:29,011
After I let go of 46 people this morning,

92
00:05:29,012 --> 00:05:31,082
something I'm in no way qualified to do.

93
00:05:31,083 --> 00:05:32,883
I'm worried about their attitude.

94
00:05:32,884 --> 00:05:35,450
Their attitude is based
on the laws of physics,

95
00:05:35,451 --> 00:05:37,051
which, if I were you, I'd bone up on.

96
00:05:37,052 --> 00:05:38,619
You're looking at our only engineers

97
00:05:38,620 --> 00:05:41,121
with any microprocessor experience at all.

98
00:05:41,122 --> 00:05:45,659
They're what's left, so,
yeah, these are my guys.

99
00:06:06,216 --> 00:06:07,860
Hey.

100
00:06:08,486 --> 00:06:10,619
You could at least wait
until we've left the building.

101
00:06:10,620 --> 00:06:13,221
Oh, thank you!

102
00:06:45,391 --> 00:06:47,860
Where do we put the heat sync?

103
00:06:47,861 --> 00:06:50,664
Well, we run it at four
megahertz, maybe we don't need one.

104
00:06:50,665 --> 00:06:52,500
No, it's too slow.

105
00:06:52,501 --> 00:06:54,804
Craig James was slow compared to Dickerson.

106
00:06:54,805 --> 00:06:56,638
Still plenty fast enough.

107
00:06:56,639 --> 00:07:00,039
There's gotta be a way to
add speed without adding heat.

108
00:07:00,040 --> 00:07:02,344
Or you can build in a
griddle and fry steaks on it.

109
00:07:02,345 --> 00:07:04,446
What do you want to call this place?

110
00:07:05,949 --> 00:07:07,549
I guess "Skunk Works" is taken.

111
00:07:07,550 --> 00:07:11,624
"The Chamber of Chipsets."
"Logic Lair."

112
00:07:11,625 --> 00:07:16,093
We're probably gonna end up killing
each other in here and ourselves.

113
00:07:17,998 --> 00:07:20,767
Well, let's call it "The Kill Room."

114
00:07:22,867 --> 00:07:24,371
Not bad.

115
00:07:24,372 --> 00:07:26,474
So he uses the collateral
to repay the money

116
00:07:26,475 --> 00:07:28,140
he borrowed to purchase the target.

117
00:07:28,141 --> 00:07:29,673
Pretty brilliant, right?

118
00:07:33,178 --> 00:07:35,548
- Who the hell's that?
- Aaron Littlefield,

119
00:07:35,549 --> 00:07:37,384
Eiger & Littlefield Venture Capital.

120
00:07:37,385 --> 00:07:39,217
"Venture capital"?

121
00:07:39,218 --> 00:07:41,418
Hell, I remember when it
was still called "money."

122
00:07:41,419 --> 00:07:44,190
Give him five minutes. He
just flew in from New York.

123
00:07:44,191 --> 00:07:47,559
- Sorry, I already had lunch.
- So did we.

124
00:07:48,995 --> 00:07:51,695
They keep reading about the
Silicon Prairie in the "Journal."

125
00:07:51,696 --> 00:07:54,529
They have cash to spend and they
want exposure to this market.

126
00:07:54,530 --> 00:07:57,497
Our PC could be a nice entry point.

127
00:07:57,498 --> 00:07:59,497
You know I gotta clear
all this with Nathan.

128
00:07:59,498 --> 00:08:01,797
I already have.

129
00:08:07,069 --> 00:08:08,871
- Aaron.
- Hey.

130
00:08:08,872 --> 00:08:11,074
Hey, John Bosworth here. Nice to meet ya.

131
00:08:11,075 --> 00:08:14,245
- How was the flight?
- Oh, a little bumpy, but worth it.

132
00:08:14,246 --> 00:08:17,549
Well, good. I sure as shit hope so.

133
00:08:19,588 --> 00:08:21,790
I've identified the bugs in the PCBs.

134
00:08:21,791 --> 00:08:24,226
We're gonna have to
recall about 10,000 units.

135
00:08:24,227 --> 00:08:28,200
But the bigger problem is
with the keyboard bouncing.

136
00:08:28,201 --> 00:08:30,371
If we could just redesign the trim, then...

137
00:08:30,372 --> 00:08:34,109
But that's not our purview, right?

138
00:08:34,812 --> 00:08:37,115
How soon can I tell Mark?

139
00:08:37,116 --> 00:08:40,718
Monday, Tuesday at the latest.

140
00:08:42,790 --> 00:08:47,758
- Your folks are well?
- Oh, great. Thank you.

141
00:08:47,759 --> 00:08:50,992
Only parents I ever knew who came to
the game to cheer on the xylophonist.

142
00:08:50,993 --> 00:08:54,963
And how's Martine?

143
00:08:54,964 --> 00:08:59,965
Well, she thought that Texas
Instruments meant staying in Texas.

144
00:08:59,966 --> 00:09:03,504
This is our third stop in five years, so...

145
00:09:03,505 --> 00:09:05,841
I think she wants to settle down, but...

146
00:09:05,842 --> 00:09:08,174
But that's not the way
you climb the ladder.

147
00:09:10,010 --> 00:09:11,979
I can't believe we're talking like this...

148
00:09:11,980 --> 00:09:14,615
climbing ladders, quarterly targets.

149
00:09:14,616 --> 00:09:16,248
We are a long way from high school.

150
00:09:16,249 --> 00:09:19,687
Oh, well, thank God. My
hair and that band uniform.

151
00:09:19,688 --> 00:09:22,156
Hey, we all knew that you
weren't cut out for band.

152
00:09:22,157 --> 00:09:24,124
You were just marking time,

153
00:09:24,125 --> 00:09:26,505
waiting for something better to come along.

154
00:09:32,431 --> 00:09:34,433
Donna...

155
00:09:34,434 --> 00:09:36,606
not to be a pain,

156
00:09:36,607 --> 00:09:38,942
but I'm meeting with Mark tomorrow

157
00:09:38,943 --> 00:09:42,612
and that report would be helpful.

158
00:09:42,613 --> 00:09:45,517
Oh, okay.

159
00:09:45,518 --> 00:09:47,819
You'll have it.

160
00:10:21,723 --> 00:10:24,490
Mr. MacMillan's office.

161
00:10:24,491 --> 00:10:26,894
Hi...

162
00:10:26,895 --> 00:10:28,756
Cameron?

163
00:10:33,262 --> 00:10:36,407
We have got an ideal business
climate. Unlimited growth curve.

164
00:10:36,408 --> 00:10:38,941
And you just got your
ass handed to you by IBM.

165
00:10:38,942 --> 00:10:41,777
They took their shot. They missed.

166
00:10:41,778 --> 00:10:46,215
But the cash from your system
packages is running out, correct?

167
00:10:48,946 --> 00:10:51,251
Guys, I'm gonna find out anyway.

168
00:10:51,252 --> 00:10:53,419
- How's that?
- Well, we partner with you,

169
00:10:53,420 --> 00:10:55,621
we audit your books top to bottom,

170
00:10:55,622 --> 00:10:57,723
install upper management on-site,

171
00:10:57,724 --> 00:10:59,425
probably Roger.

172
00:10:59,426 --> 00:11:02,429
- You'd report to him.
- Roger?

173
00:11:02,430 --> 00:11:04,265
It's just an option we're discussing.

174
00:11:04,266 --> 00:11:06,865
- At lunch?
- That's right.

175
00:11:06,866 --> 00:11:10,766
You know, maybe instead of sending
someone out, you do a weekly call.

176
00:11:10,767 --> 00:11:13,271
Guys, I haven't even heard
a rollout date yet, okay?

177
00:11:13,272 --> 00:11:16,609
What's your marketing strategy? How do you
plan on rebuilding your client base here?

178
00:11:16,610 --> 00:11:18,743
We got a whole new client base.

179
00:11:18,744 --> 00:11:22,449
Yeah, Joe here wants to take
this machine to the people.

180
00:11:22,450 --> 00:11:25,650
Yeah, no more biz-to-biz. We're
pushing doorbells and pounding pavement.

181
00:11:25,651 --> 00:11:27,787
Along with a sophisticated media campaign.

182
00:11:27,788 --> 00:11:30,559
Oh, sophisticated, my ass. Come on, Joe.

183
00:11:30,560 --> 00:11:34,294
We're tired of these doodad
launches and corporate suites.

184
00:11:34,295 --> 00:11:36,298
No, I wanna breathe me some air.

185
00:11:36,299 --> 00:11:40,301
You know, mom-and-pop stores, county fairs.

186
00:11:40,302 --> 00:11:43,840
Now, we may not have the track
record or the balance sheet,

187
00:11:43,841 --> 00:11:45,974
but, by God, we got heart.

188
00:11:45,975 --> 00:11:49,646
That can-do Texas spirit, y'all.

189
00:11:54,587 --> 00:11:56,323
My home number's on the back.

190
00:11:56,324 --> 00:11:58,327
I want you to call the ranch anytime.

191
00:11:58,328 --> 00:12:00,062
Sure will.

192
00:12:00,948 --> 00:12:03,332
Let me show you some sketches.

193
00:12:03,333 --> 00:12:06,168
It's so good seeing you again, Joe.

194
00:12:06,169 --> 00:12:08,336
I'll be in touch.

195
00:12:21,608 --> 00:12:25,312
What do you think? Let 'em go?

196
00:12:26,783 --> 00:12:29,852
What, before midnight?

197
00:12:29,921 --> 00:12:33,089
You can't win a race at the quarter pole.

198
00:12:33,090 --> 00:12:37,123
Seriously, buy yourself some
goodwill with these guys.

199
00:12:39,360 --> 00:12:40,994
All right, thanks, everyone.

200
00:12:40,995 --> 00:12:43,295
Have a good night.

201
00:12:48,163 --> 00:12:51,833
Especially if we try and cram a
bigger motherboard into a smaller case.

202
00:12:51,834 --> 00:12:55,468
Either way, we swap out the
crystal and we overclock the CPU.

203
00:12:55,469 --> 00:12:58,606
Which heats up the innards,
which means a bigger heat sink.

204
00:12:58,607 --> 00:13:01,308
And may I remind you, we
just ditched the heat sink.

205
00:13:01,309 --> 00:13:03,529
Okay.

206
00:13:05,545 --> 00:13:08,381
Hey, how's it going?

207
00:13:08,382 --> 00:13:12,052
- No contact, remember?
- I know, I know.

208
00:13:12,053 --> 00:13:14,354
Look, I don't mean to pry.

209
00:13:14,355 --> 00:13:17,324
I know it's only been a week and
you're under a lot of pressure,

210
00:13:17,325 --> 00:13:19,193
but if you could just give us

211
00:13:19,194 --> 00:13:21,662
some sort of idea as to...

212
00:13:26,204 --> 00:13:28,470
I'll order a pizza.

213
00:13:28,471 --> 00:13:30,704
She took my soda.

214
00:13:30,705 --> 00:13:34,714
Nothing like a bubble bath to make
you forget life's little traumas.

215
00:13:34,715 --> 00:13:37,750
- Works for me.
- Oh, we also got them a little something.

216
00:13:37,751 --> 00:13:40,319
Oh, you shouldn't have.

217
00:13:45,059 --> 00:13:47,060
"Bowser"?

218
00:13:47,061 --> 00:13:49,697
It's not exactly a bird's name.

219
00:13:49,698 --> 00:13:51,431
Poor thing's dead by now.

220
00:13:51,432 --> 00:13:53,232
I expect you can call it whatever you like.

221
00:13:54,667 --> 00:13:57,004
Is that Chopin's "Funeral March"?

222
00:13:57,005 --> 00:14:00,405
The Japanese never sleep. Look here.

223
00:14:02,275 --> 00:14:04,839
It's our back pager this month.

224
00:14:04,840 --> 00:14:07,038
Your father thinks we'll
move half a million.

225
00:14:07,039 --> 00:14:08,941
"No-doubt" Dad.

226
00:14:08,942 --> 00:14:10,576
It's a catalogue business, darling.

227
00:14:10,577 --> 00:14:12,912
"There's always doubt."

228
00:14:12,913 --> 00:14:15,717
Now, don't go telling Gordon it's from us.

229
00:14:15,718 --> 00:14:17,851
I know he doesn't approve.

230
00:14:19,585 --> 00:14:21,252
He working late?

231
00:14:21,253 --> 00:14:23,354
He's got a new project.

232
00:14:23,355 --> 00:14:26,586
Well, make sure he does
the dishes sometime.

233
00:14:26,587 --> 00:14:28,953
I love my son-in-law,

234
00:14:28,954 --> 00:14:31,421
but I don't wanna see
you worn down to a nub.

235
00:14:31,422 --> 00:14:34,156
Why, do I seem nubbish to you?

236
00:14:36,288 --> 00:14:39,925
You are radiant, as always.

237
00:14:44,400 --> 00:14:46,868
How's life at TI?

238
00:14:46,869 --> 00:14:50,140
You know, we haven't even seen Hunt
at the club since he moved back.

239
00:14:50,141 --> 00:14:52,609
Well, nose to the grindstone.

240
00:14:52,610 --> 00:14:56,481
Well, maybe Fourth of July, he'll
show off that foreign wife of his.

241
00:14:56,482 --> 00:15:00,151
- Mom, she's Canadian.
- She is a guest of this country.

242
00:15:00,152 --> 00:15:05,524
She can wave a flag and light
something on fire like the rest of us.

243
00:15:07,595 --> 00:15:09,964
Well, I don't think
they'll be in Dallas long.

244
00:15:09,965 --> 00:15:13,127
If management likes him, they'll
probably ship him overseas.

245
00:15:13,128 --> 00:15:19,668
Mm, old Hunt in Vienna or Rome, Italy.

246
00:15:19,669 --> 00:15:22,371
Can you imagine?

247
00:15:24,976 --> 00:15:29,644
- This is very nice.
- Mm-hmm, a man needs to seek shelter.

248
00:15:29,645 --> 00:15:32,682
I believe we have that in common.

249
00:15:32,683 --> 00:15:36,683
We don't just need money.
We need smart money.

250
00:15:36,684 --> 00:15:39,019
A name. Someone who puts us on the map.

251
00:15:39,020 --> 00:15:40,487
Yeah, I know.

252
00:15:40,488 --> 00:15:42,955
You weren't wrong to do what you did,

253
00:15:42,956 --> 00:15:44,655
but then, neither was John.

254
00:15:44,656 --> 00:15:47,076
Hey.

255
00:15:50,129 --> 00:15:53,767
A little scotch here, and... I guessed.

256
00:15:59,140 --> 00:16:01,977
We let you in the door,
Joe, we gave you the rope.

257
00:16:01,978 --> 00:16:05,445
But only one boss-dick can swing it.

258
00:16:05,446 --> 00:16:09,653
Now, you're the vision guy and I'm
retired and I want to stay retired.

259
00:16:09,654 --> 00:16:13,054
The way that works is that
John here sends me my checks,

260
00:16:13,055 --> 00:16:15,323
keeps me fat and happy.

261
00:16:15,324 --> 00:16:18,196
So John makes the financial decisions

262
00:16:18,197 --> 00:16:21,099
on this project, all of them.

263
00:16:30,071 --> 00:16:32,374
Agreed.

264
00:16:32,375 --> 00:16:35,076
Good.

265
00:16:36,711 --> 00:16:40,150
No more backstage bullshit.

266
00:16:40,151 --> 00:16:44,220
I'm gonna set you up
with Louise Lutherford.

267
00:16:44,221 --> 00:16:46,689
- An old friend of ours.
- Mm -hmm, she is a handful...

268
00:16:46,690 --> 00:16:50,094
but she's got more than enough
capital to see us through.

269
00:16:50,095 --> 00:16:53,897
And she's local, so no "Rogers."

270
00:16:53,898 --> 00:16:56,531
Yeah, that's all well and good,

271
00:16:56,532 --> 00:16:57,832
but does she have a background in...

272
00:16:57,833 --> 00:16:59,100
Good evening, Seth.

273
00:16:59,101 --> 00:17:01,202
Mr. Cardiff. Are we dining tonight?

274
00:17:01,203 --> 00:17:03,571
Oh, you know it. I'll
have the petit fillet.

275
00:17:03,572 --> 00:17:05,874
Burn it, and peas and mash.

276
00:17:05,875 --> 00:17:09,712
Porterhouse, rare. Rare.

277
00:17:11,449 --> 00:17:13,518
I'll have the same.

278
00:17:13,519 --> 00:17:16,254
I mean, we could recess the
keyboard in the bottom cover

279
00:17:16,255 --> 00:17:19,224
and run the connector
cable through the hinges.

280
00:17:19,225 --> 00:17:22,627
Okay. No one's ever done that before.

281
00:17:22,628 --> 00:17:27,432
- Well, does that mean it can't be done?
- No, just expensive.

282
00:17:27,433 --> 00:17:30,770
Well, how else are we gonna
make room for the screen?

283
00:17:30,771 --> 00:17:34,071
Gordon, I'm not trying
to yuck your yum here.

284
00:17:34,072 --> 00:17:38,046
No one wants this to work more than me.

285
00:17:38,047 --> 00:17:41,248
It's a hell of a concept,
but to execute it...

286
00:17:41,249 --> 00:17:45,987
- ...that's tough sleddin'.
- I know, I know.

287
00:17:48,493 --> 00:17:51,831
First thing tomorrow, we sit down with Joe,

288
00:17:51,832 --> 00:17:56,672
bring him back to Earth,
tell him it can't be done.

289
00:17:56,673 --> 00:17:59,407
I'll fly wingman if you want.

290
00:18:00,509 --> 00:18:03,377
No, no, I'll tell him.

291
00:18:19,963 --> 00:18:23,329
What?

292
00:18:23,330 --> 00:18:25,032
You called earlier.

293
00:18:25,033 --> 00:18:27,103
No, I don't...

294
00:18:27,104 --> 00:18:29,105
yes, fine, yes, I did by mistake.

295
00:18:29,106 --> 00:18:31,140
What? What do you want?

296
00:18:31,141 --> 00:18:32,875
Just checking in.

297
00:18:32,876 --> 00:18:35,344
Okay, I'm all checked.

298
00:18:35,345 --> 00:18:38,714
- I just wanted to know...
- What's taking so long?

299
00:18:38,715 --> 00:18:41,817
You're a talented coder, but
right now you're a bottleneck.

300
00:18:41,818 --> 00:18:44,687
Have you considered motivational speaking?

301
00:18:44,688 --> 00:18:49,294
'Cause you've got a gift, man.
Seriously, sign me up. Send me the tapes.

302
00:18:49,295 --> 00:18:51,756
Do I need to come down there?

303
00:18:54,470 --> 00:18:56,439
No.

304
00:19:02,359 --> 00:19:03,984
- Then I guess I'll...
- See ya.

305
00:19:15,537 --> 00:19:17,872
Sorry I missed your mother.

306
00:19:17,873 --> 00:19:20,608
No, you're not.

307
00:19:20,609 --> 00:19:22,675
At least the bird's gone.

308
00:19:22,676 --> 00:19:25,844
The girls were so upset, they barely ate.

309
00:19:25,845 --> 00:19:27,248
Yeah?

310
00:19:27,249 --> 00:19:30,318
Maybe not the best night for chicken.

311
00:19:36,122 --> 00:19:38,424
So, how much longer, do you think?

312
00:19:38,425 --> 00:19:41,992
Couple hours.

313
00:19:43,426 --> 00:19:45,130
That's an interesting layout.

314
00:19:45,131 --> 00:19:48,064
If I can make it all fit.

315
00:19:49,868 --> 00:19:54,438
- Can you take a...
- No, Gordon, I have to finish this.

316
00:19:54,439 --> 00:19:58,099
You're right, you're right. I'm sorry.

317
00:20:02,246 --> 00:20:06,114
- Well, you know what you could do?
- What?

318
00:20:06,115 --> 00:20:08,914
You could move the interrupt controller

319
00:20:08,915 --> 00:20:11,585
and then maybe scootch
those parity RAM chips down.

320
00:20:11,586 --> 00:20:14,490
- Do you mind if I...
- No, no, no.

321
00:20:14,491 --> 00:20:18,458
- All yours.
- Here and here.

322
00:20:18,459 --> 00:20:21,995
Then if you rotate these
DMA controllers to make room,

323
00:20:21,996 --> 00:20:25,700
you can...

324
00:20:29,346 --> 00:20:31,611
Wait, wait, wait, what?

325
00:20:31,612 --> 00:20:34,081
Piggyback it.

326
00:20:35,484 --> 00:20:39,852
- Software comes and goes...
- Hardware is forever.

327
00:20:39,853 --> 00:20:42,087
Okay.

328
00:20:42,088 --> 00:20:44,358
Okay, okay, that's interesting.

329
00:21:31,426 --> 00:21:32,908
Hi.

330
00:21:34,097 --> 00:21:36,131
Hi.

331
00:21:38,100 --> 00:21:40,204
Those Lloyd's shoes?

332
00:21:40,205 --> 00:21:42,673
Who the hell's Lloyd?

333
00:21:42,674 --> 00:21:46,340
Come on.

334
00:21:46,341 --> 00:21:51,043
Lloyd... one hell of a bowler.

335
00:21:51,044 --> 00:21:54,444
Good Lutheran, three kids.

336
00:21:54,445 --> 00:21:57,214
I had to fire him this morning.

337
00:21:57,215 --> 00:21:59,217
You think it's a good idea

338
00:21:59,218 --> 00:22:02,053
walking around in a dead man's shoes?

339
00:22:06,126 --> 00:22:09,594
Where are you headed, young lady?

340
00:22:09,595 --> 00:22:12,396
This is your first job, huh? Am I right?

341
00:22:12,397 --> 00:22:15,802
You're already rooting around
the offices after hours?

342
00:22:15,803 --> 00:22:17,903
I heard money's tight around here.

343
00:22:17,904 --> 00:22:19,973
I thought I'd switch off your light.

344
00:22:19,974 --> 00:22:22,744
Uh-huh.

345
00:22:22,745 --> 00:22:30,150
Hey, what is the difference
between "Go To" and "Go Sub"?

346
00:22:30,151 --> 00:22:32,954
Oh, "Go To" executes the next line.

347
00:22:32,955 --> 00:22:36,259
"Go Sub," you need, like,
a return command at the end.

348
00:22:38,064 --> 00:22:40,897
That makes no sense to me.

349
00:22:40,898 --> 00:22:44,300
Yeah, it's hard at the beginning.

350
00:22:48,981 --> 00:22:51,605
If it weren't for your friend Joe...

351
00:22:51,606 --> 00:22:54,737
I'd be home right now.

352
00:22:54,738 --> 00:22:58,409
He's different, huh?

353
00:23:02,477 --> 00:23:05,280
Joe?

354
00:23:12,019 --> 00:23:15,217
You take care of those shoes.

355
00:23:20,324 --> 00:23:22,694
And, Cameron?

356
00:23:22,695 --> 00:23:27,500
You can work here as late as you'd like.

357
00:23:27,501 --> 00:23:29,901
You cannot live here.

358
00:23:38,802 --> 00:23:41,743
I think we can make this work.

359
00:23:41,744 --> 00:23:47,266
If we actually split the motherboard

360
00:23:47,267 --> 00:23:49,467
and then layer

361
00:23:49,468 --> 00:23:53,601
one half on top of the other,

362
00:23:55,371 --> 00:23:58,128
run the jumpers vertically.

363
00:23:58,129 --> 00:24:00,264
So you're doubling the
amount of chips on each half.

364
00:24:00,265 --> 00:24:02,468
- Yeah.
- Interesting.

365
00:24:02,469 --> 00:24:04,703
Where'd you get that idea?

366
00:24:04,704 --> 00:24:06,873
In my kitchen.

367
00:24:06,874 --> 00:24:09,111
It'd buy us a couple centimeters, for sure.

368
00:24:09,112 --> 00:24:12,183
- Nice work.
- If we can stabilize the vertices.

369
00:24:12,184 --> 00:24:14,152
Hey, why don't you let
it ride for a cycle, Stan?

370
00:24:14,153 --> 00:24:16,288
Donna drove me in this morning,
but I'm gonna need a ride home.

371
00:24:16,289 --> 00:24:17,890
What's this?

372
00:24:17,891 --> 00:24:19,359
It's our new motherboard.

373
00:24:19,360 --> 00:24:21,362
Buddy, I thought we had one.

374
00:24:21,363 --> 00:24:23,096
Not like this. I call it a layered array.

375
00:24:23,097 --> 00:24:24,564
It's really, really different.

376
00:24:24,565 --> 00:24:26,536
- What it is is...
- Yeah, I see that.

377
00:24:26,537 --> 00:24:29,438
Who's gonna mass-produce a
brand-new board from scratch?

378
00:24:29,439 --> 00:24:32,876
You think Intel or AMD is gonna reroute

379
00:24:32,877 --> 00:24:34,947
their entire assembly lines for us?

380
00:24:34,948 --> 00:24:37,980
For Cardiff Electric? Is that reasonable?

381
00:24:37,981 --> 00:24:42,051
I mean, what are we doing here?

382
00:24:43,653 --> 00:24:46,621
You're right. I wasn't
thinking that far ahead.

383
00:24:46,622 --> 00:24:51,790
- I just...
- Gordo, it's a killer idea, it is.

384
00:24:51,791 --> 00:24:54,726
But we got three months.

385
00:24:54,727 --> 00:24:56,930
Every bone in my body is telling me

386
00:24:56,931 --> 00:24:59,164
that if we try and reinvent the wheel here,

387
00:24:59,165 --> 00:25:02,535
man, we're gonna end
up with a square wheel.

388
00:25:04,606 --> 00:25:08,606
But, hey, it's your call.

389
00:25:13,513 --> 00:25:17,313
Forget it, guys.

390
00:25:17,314 --> 00:25:20,751
- Let's go back to alpha.
- What? Are you kidding?

391
00:25:20,752 --> 00:25:24,452
I'll tell Joe.

392
00:26:43,440 --> 00:26:45,276
You gonna eat all that yourself?

393
00:26:45,277 --> 00:26:48,111
You gonna try and take it from me?

394
00:26:48,112 --> 00:26:50,948
I'm Judie, this is Ajax
and his asshole friend.

395
00:26:50,949 --> 00:26:52,717
- Hey.
- Hey, yo.

396
00:26:52,718 --> 00:26:55,052
- Cameron.
- Does Cameron have money?

397
00:26:55,053 --> 00:26:57,422
Does it have an automobile?

398
00:26:57,423 --> 00:27:00,527
You mean a car? No.

399
00:27:00,528 --> 00:27:03,862
- You live around here?
- Uh, no, I work, like, a mile that way.

400
00:27:03,863 --> 00:27:05,766
Work? Like, a job?

401
00:27:05,767 --> 00:27:08,236
The day I sell out and
get a job is the day I die.

402
00:27:08,237 --> 00:27:10,805
Materialistic greed hamsters
spinning their wheels.

403
00:27:10,806 --> 00:27:13,710
Oh, says the guy who wants a car.

404
00:27:13,711 --> 00:27:15,779
Come nightfall we're
gonna head up to Yuppie Row

405
00:27:15,780 --> 00:27:18,117
and tag the living crap out of it.

406
00:27:18,118 --> 00:27:20,118
Until then we're just gonna
hole up here, you know,

407
00:27:20,119 --> 00:27:22,655
thrash a bit, pound some vodka.

408
00:27:22,656 --> 00:27:24,891
Thing is, we're short on vodka.

409
00:27:24,892 --> 00:27:28,129
So, you're just gonna
hang out here till then?

410
00:27:28,130 --> 00:27:30,790
Yeah, you got a better idea?

411
00:27:33,437 --> 00:27:36,073
Actually, yeah.

412
00:27:45,853 --> 00:27:48,285
Directions to Ms. Lutherford's.

413
00:27:48,286 --> 00:27:51,489
Cocktails at 5:30, dinner at 6:00.

414
00:27:52,792 --> 00:27:55,524
Well, money's money, right?

415
00:27:56,627 --> 00:27:58,662
Uh-huh.

416
00:28:06,236 --> 00:28:08,802
It's okay, you can go on in.

417
00:28:36,519 --> 00:28:38,685
- Loulu.
- John.

418
00:28:38,686 --> 00:28:41,487
You look wonderful. Let me
introduce you here to Joe MacMillan.

419
00:28:41,488 --> 00:28:43,259
- Of course, Joseph.
- Joe MacMillan, Loulu.

420
00:28:43,260 --> 00:28:45,760
Travis, Joe MacMillan here.

421
00:28:45,761 --> 00:28:47,596
So, Joseph, where do you hail from?

422
00:28:47,597 --> 00:28:50,201
- Hudson River Valley.
- Oh, I adore that area.

423
00:28:50,202 --> 00:28:52,672
- You get to the city?
- Yes, often.

424
00:28:52,673 --> 00:28:54,609
Travis and I go annually.

425
00:28:54,610 --> 00:28:57,879
He ignores the opera, I sponsor it.

426
00:28:57,880 --> 00:29:00,582
Last season, we saw "Figaro."

427
00:29:00,583 --> 00:29:01,950
How'd that turn out?

428
00:29:01,951 --> 00:29:03,452
Same way it always does, John.

429
00:29:03,453 --> 00:29:05,754
It's 200 years old.

430
00:29:05,755 --> 00:29:08,690
But I do hate when they try to force
that poor boy to marry his own mother.

431
00:29:08,691 --> 00:29:12,125
Of course. He owes her money.

432
00:29:14,061 --> 00:29:16,396
John, I believe you
brought a shark to my table.

433
00:29:16,397 --> 00:29:18,031
No, dear. Just a deal.

434
00:29:18,032 --> 00:29:19,932
Yes, yes. Nathan mentioned it.

435
00:29:19,933 --> 00:29:22,068
I did a little research of my own.

436
00:29:22,069 --> 00:29:27,205
I will take 80% of your
PC project for $10 million.

437
00:29:34,409 --> 00:29:36,408
That's a little aggressive.

438
00:29:36,409 --> 00:29:39,375
John, IBM has poisoned your well.

439
00:29:39,376 --> 00:29:42,576
I know I'm not the first name
on Nathan Cardiff's Rolodex,

440
00:29:42,577 --> 00:29:45,546
which means your cash flow
is a little stopped up,

441
00:29:45,547 --> 00:29:48,280
kind of like my second husband's aorta.

442
00:29:48,281 --> 00:29:51,415
Our projected earnings
are many multiples of that.

443
00:29:51,416 --> 00:29:55,196
If there's a better deal for you
elsewhere, you are welcome to take it.

444
00:29:55,654 --> 00:29:58,183
Y'all excuse us?

445
00:30:00,722 --> 00:30:02,791
- This is insane.
- Keep your voice down.

446
00:30:02,792 --> 00:30:04,657
At that price, we're better
off going to the banks

447
00:30:04,658 --> 00:30:06,092
or selling to Tandy.

448
00:30:06,093 --> 00:30:07,595
All right, let me talk her off the ledge.

449
00:30:07,596 --> 00:30:10,166
This person knows
nothing about our machine.

450
00:30:10,167 --> 00:30:11,999
She'll wrap it in velvet,
call it "Bonnie Blue,"

451
00:30:12,000 --> 00:30:13,600
and we won't be able to stop her.

452
00:30:13,601 --> 00:30:16,640
Hey, partner, we're already there.

453
00:30:21,483 --> 00:30:23,819
Joseph, is everything all right?

454
00:30:33,716 --> 00:30:36,751
- He's on the call.
- With Mark?

455
00:30:36,752 --> 00:30:38,886
Oh, God. Maybe I could just
sneak in and hand it to him.

456
00:30:38,887 --> 00:30:40,686
- I wouldn't.
- I could just...

457
00:30:40,687 --> 00:30:42,221
Mark, you know that and I know that,

458
00:30:42,222 --> 00:30:46,094
but how can we get Somerville on board?

459
00:30:46,095 --> 00:30:48,993
Well, I'm doing everything I can.

460
00:31:32,758 --> 00:31:36,329
What's your job all about?

461
00:31:36,330 --> 00:31:38,632
Software.

462
00:31:38,633 --> 00:31:40,167
Oh, yeah.

463
00:31:40,168 --> 00:31:44,006
I think my dad does something like that.

464
00:31:44,007 --> 00:31:46,608
I think.

465
00:31:46,609 --> 00:31:49,344
Grimace! Grimace!

466
00:31:51,414 --> 00:31:53,748
Tip the mamacita.

467
00:31:55,351 --> 00:31:58,487
Hey, Cam.

468
00:31:58,488 --> 00:32:01,758
This ink's got your name on it.

469
00:32:01,759 --> 00:32:05,928
Here. Got a good idea.

470
00:32:11,029 --> 00:32:13,697
Yeah, do it up. Whoo!

471
00:32:13,698 --> 00:32:17,335
Come here. Come on, Cam. Let's print it.

472
00:32:18,805 --> 00:32:21,573
Now, just trust me. I got it.

473
00:32:23,111 --> 00:32:25,279
He says to her, "Absolutely not."

474
00:32:25,280 --> 00:32:29,782
And she says, "Henry, we are flying a
woman into orbit on the space shuttle.

475
00:32:29,783 --> 00:32:32,182
All's I'm askin' is
for you to take me to...

476
00:32:32,183 --> 00:32:36,321
oh, oh, oh, Omaha!"

477
00:32:38,492 --> 00:32:40,962
Stop, you're so bad.

478
00:32:40,963 --> 00:32:43,298
So, Joseph, what do we think?

479
00:32:43,299 --> 00:32:47,404
- About Omaha?
- About the space program, Miss Sally Ride.

480
00:32:47,405 --> 00:32:49,173
It's a gimmick.

481
00:32:49,174 --> 00:32:52,141
You're not proud of NASA for
breaking the gender barrier?

482
00:32:52,142 --> 00:32:54,809
The Soviets did it... twice.

483
00:32:54,810 --> 00:32:58,848
So it's first or not at all?

484
00:32:58,849 --> 00:33:02,351
Curious outlook for someone
who's cloning an IBM.

485
00:33:02,352 --> 00:33:05,223
Now, now, go easy on
him, Loulu. He's a Yankee.

486
00:33:05,224 --> 00:33:07,693
Sorry.

487
00:33:07,694 --> 00:33:09,494
Getting into bed with you boys.

488
00:33:09,495 --> 00:33:11,858
Least I can do is check the
sheets and fluff the pillows.

489
00:33:13,192 --> 00:33:14,694
Isn't that right, Travis?

490
00:33:14,695 --> 00:33:17,199
We're not gonna be partners.

491
00:33:17,934 --> 00:33:19,534
Why's that?

492
00:33:19,535 --> 00:33:21,270
Because you're a bored,
poisonous dilettante

493
00:33:21,271 --> 00:33:23,372
with time on her hands and no taste.

494
00:33:23,373 --> 00:33:26,505
Two things destroy
companies, Ms. Lutherford...

495
00:33:26,506 --> 00:33:29,710
mediocrity and making it about yourself.

496
00:33:29,711 --> 00:33:32,580
I think you make everything about yourself.

497
00:33:32,581 --> 00:33:36,986
That's why you rent your
friends and repel everyone else.

498
00:33:50,534 --> 00:33:55,100
Boz, we have a deal or not?

499
00:33:55,101 --> 00:33:57,805
I'll have Barry draw up the papers.

500
00:33:57,806 --> 00:34:02,174
There, you see? Joseph, it's not hard.

501
00:34:03,475 --> 00:34:06,374
It's just knowing your side of the saddle.

502
00:34:09,644 --> 00:34:11,611
More wine?

503
00:34:11,612 --> 00:34:15,847
Oh, Travis, bring us some
brandy. We're celebrating.

504
00:34:21,288 --> 00:34:24,925
- Yo, Cam, let me finish.
- No.

505
00:35:30,158 --> 00:35:34,362
I don't know jack squat about brandy.

506
00:36:26,667 --> 00:36:29,615
Fantastic meringue.

507
00:36:30,532 --> 00:36:33,669
What took you so long?

508
00:36:33,670 --> 00:36:35,437
It's too late for brandy.

509
00:36:35,438 --> 00:36:37,505
It's not brandy.

510
00:36:38,507 --> 00:36:42,642
Tuke Holdsworth, 1912.

511
00:36:45,614 --> 00:36:48,448
We decided on a port.

512
00:36:52,616 --> 00:36:54,751
I'll take a snort.

513
00:36:55,686 --> 00:36:58,453
Give her a pop, Travis.

514
00:37:05,855 --> 00:37:09,199
That pig-iron bitch had us
right where she wanted us

515
00:37:09,200 --> 00:37:11,730
and she kicked us to the curb.

516
00:37:11,731 --> 00:37:14,895
- Hell, we had a deal.
- We don't need her.

517
00:37:14,896 --> 00:37:17,794
- You tell Nathan that.
- We jump-start the project,

518
00:37:17,795 --> 00:37:20,693
crush the timetable from
six months down to three.

519
00:37:20,694 --> 00:37:22,560
Build the prototype on our own dime,

520
00:37:22,561 --> 00:37:26,127
then show investors when we have leverage.

521
00:37:29,496 --> 00:37:32,431
What'd you say to her?

522
00:37:33,133 --> 00:37:36,899
Hey, hey.

523
00:37:36,900 --> 00:37:39,002
What'd you do?

524
00:37:39,003 --> 00:37:40,938
We'll talk tomorrow.

525
00:37:45,541 --> 00:37:49,410
And this sumbitch, I know
he's gonna cash the heart ace

526
00:37:49,411 --> 00:37:51,677
and take the diamond finesse.

527
00:37:51,678 --> 00:37:55,410
Instead, he discards spade from the dummy

528
00:37:55,411 --> 00:37:57,709
and plays the queen.

529
00:37:59,413 --> 00:38:03,751
I'm like, "Neville,
are you a Redskins fan?"

530
00:38:03,752 --> 00:38:06,851
You know?

531
00:38:06,852 --> 00:38:09,385
Hey, man, are you all right?

532
00:38:09,516 --> 00:38:13,020
I'm telling you, you
oughta think about joining

533
00:38:13,021 --> 00:38:15,320
'cause I'm getting tired of carrying cards

534
00:38:15,321 --> 00:38:18,423
for these damn Yanks and mackerel snappers.

535
00:38:18,424 --> 00:38:20,591
Whoa, whoa!

536
00:38:28,863 --> 00:38:31,163
Ow.

537
00:38:31,164 --> 00:38:33,696
Aw, man.

538
00:38:33,697 --> 00:38:36,267
Oh.

539
00:38:36,268 --> 00:38:38,337
Are you all right?

540
00:38:40,005 --> 00:38:41,770
Oh, thank Christ.

541
00:38:41,771 --> 00:38:45,443
I mean, I told Vicky they have
got to trim those branches.

542
00:38:45,444 --> 00:38:47,211
How are you supposed to see cross traffic

543
00:38:47,212 --> 00:38:48,947
when the sidewalk's a damn jungle?

544
00:38:48,948 --> 00:38:50,884
You're fired.

545
00:38:50,885 --> 00:38:53,387
What?

546
00:38:55,024 --> 00:38:57,391
You're fired.

547
00:39:15,543 --> 00:39:17,909
The address calculation
code. It's too long.

548
00:39:17,910 --> 00:39:19,978
It takes up too many bytes.

549
00:39:19,979 --> 00:39:23,316
What I need is some way
of grabbing the addresses

550
00:39:23,317 --> 00:39:25,419
without telling the CPU
where to look for them,

551
00:39:25,420 --> 00:39:28,756
like an address book that's also a map.

552
00:39:28,757 --> 00:39:30,924
Cameron...

553
00:39:30,925 --> 00:39:33,225
why are you here?

554
00:39:34,228 --> 00:39:36,297
I'm stuck.

555
00:40:49,899 --> 00:40:52,466
Another late night, huh?

556
00:40:56,304 --> 00:40:59,870
- Gordon, you're bleeding.
- Shh, shh, shh.

557
00:40:59,871 --> 00:41:02,639
You hear that?

558
00:41:02,640 --> 00:41:04,741
It's alive.

559
00:41:07,977 --> 00:41:11,214
I called Animal Control. They said
the kindest thing is to just kill it.

560
00:41:11,215 --> 00:41:12,414
Maybe you could...

561
00:41:12,415 --> 00:41:15,552
Look, Donna, I'm not going back out there.

562
00:41:15,553 --> 00:41:17,388
- I've had kind of a day.
- Okay...

563
00:41:17,389 --> 00:41:19,991
I'm gonna take off my
shoes, kiss the girls,

564
00:41:19,992 --> 00:41:22,825
and wash up, all right?

565
00:42:23,842 --> 00:42:28,839
On the next episode of
AMC's Halt & Catch Fire...

566
00:42:28,840 --> 00:42:32,231
Our soon to be Cardiff PC,
though it looks rag-tag now.

567
00:42:32,232 --> 00:42:34,005
Will be addictive.

568
00:42:34,006 --> 00:42:36,546
I want a straight answer.
Whose running things?

569
00:42:36,547 --> 00:42:37,768
I am.

570
00:42:37,769 --> 00:42:40,809
There was a power surge. Where
are your back up floppies?

571
00:42:40,810 --> 00:42:43,520
This ones degaussed. This one too, wiped.

572
00:42:43,521 --> 00:42:46,045
Do you have any idea what I've lost?

573
00:42:46,059 --> 00:42:47,629
I don't want your wife at the office.

574
00:42:47,630 --> 00:42:50,564
Without Donna this thing
stays dead on the table, Joe.

575
