1
00:00:56,308 --> 00:00:59,976
Quite a plan you boys cooked up here.

2
00:01:00,062 --> 00:01:02,145
Quite a plan.

3
00:01:02,231 --> 00:01:04,981
I'm not sure what upsets me more,

4
00:01:05,067 --> 00:01:08,068
that I have four employees

5
00:01:08,153 --> 00:01:10,821
that conspired to commit felony fraud,

6
00:01:10,906 --> 00:01:13,824
or that I have four employees
that are so stupid

7
00:01:13,909 --> 00:01:15,992
I found out about it within 30 seconds.

8
00:01:16,128 --> 00:01:19,629
Hearing it out loud, the
first one seems worse.

9
00:01:19,715 --> 00:01:24,501
We got sales, manufacturing,
design, assembly,

10
00:01:24,586 --> 00:01:26,720
logistics teams, they're
all ready to go.

11
00:01:26,839 --> 00:01:29,673
All of them on the
payroll, all of them here

12
00:01:29,808 --> 00:01:31,508
to build me a box.

13
00:01:31,643 --> 00:01:34,644
I have a deal, in principle,

14
00:01:34,730 --> 00:01:37,013
with Maleant to buy the box.

15
00:01:37,099 --> 00:01:42,652
The second that we deliver a product that
meets those specs, we are cashing checks!

16
00:01:42,738 --> 00:01:45,989
And you are the only four
people in this building

17
00:01:46,075 --> 00:01:47,324
that are fighting me on it!

18
00:01:47,409 --> 00:01:50,944
So give me one reason why I
don't fire you right now,

19
00:01:51,029 --> 00:01:52,362
claw back your options,

20
00:01:52,448 --> 00:01:54,948
make you unhireable all over town,

21
00:01:55,033 --> 00:01:58,502
one goddamn reason!

22
00:02:04,793 --> 00:02:07,711
- Because you can't.
- Excuse me?

23
00:02:07,796 --> 00:02:10,764
This agreement says
that you have ten weeks

24
00:02:10,883 --> 00:02:14,050
to complete a working prototype
before the deal expires.

25
00:02:14,186 --> 00:02:16,720
So how are you gonna do
that if you fire us?

26
00:02:16,855 --> 00:02:20,140
There are maybe eight engineers on earth

27
00:02:20,225 --> 00:02:22,142
proficient in middle-out compression.

28
00:02:22,227 --> 00:02:24,528
Five of them work for
Endframe, your competition,

29
00:02:24,613 --> 00:02:27,280
and three of them are here
in this office right now.

30
00:02:27,399 --> 00:02:29,065
So if we're gone,

31
00:02:29,151 --> 00:02:31,201
I don't think you're ever
going to get your box.

32
00:02:32,237 --> 00:02:33,570
What do you want?

33
00:02:33,655 --> 00:02:36,406
I want to build my platform. Now.

34
00:02:36,542 --> 00:02:39,826
To complete the box project is going
to take six months, at least.

35
00:02:39,912 --> 00:02:43,997
So, what I think maybe
we should do is, um,

36
00:02:44,082 --> 00:02:46,249
take a little tip from your chart there,

37
00:02:46,335 --> 00:02:48,385
and we, uh, compromise.

38
00:02:48,470 --> 00:02:51,087
Compromise is the shared hypotenuse

39
00:02:51,223 --> 00:02:53,757
of the conjoined triangles of success.

40
00:02:53,892 --> 00:02:58,261
Mm-hmm, yep. So, uh...
so, what I'm proposing

41
00:02:58,397 --> 00:03:01,598
is we stand up the prototype, that's it.

42
00:03:01,733 --> 00:03:07,020
We're not doing any custom features, no
new versions, no maintenance, nothing.

43
00:03:07,105 --> 00:03:09,656
Richard, the Maleant basement.

44
00:03:09,775 --> 00:03:13,193
And no onsite support. I think
you can hire other engineers

45
00:03:13,278 --> 00:03:14,744
to do that fucking mole monkey work.

46
00:03:14,830 --> 00:03:18,081
The second we write code that satisfies

47
00:03:18,167 --> 00:03:20,750
the basic minimum
requirement of the deal,

48
00:03:20,836 --> 00:03:24,087
we are off the box and
on to the platform.

49
00:03:24,173 --> 00:03:26,289
And that is my final offer.

50
00:03:26,375 --> 00:03:30,844
So, what do you say to that action...

51
00:03:30,963 --> 00:03:33,296
- Whoa!
- Ow! Ow!

52
00:03:33,382 --> 00:03:37,517
Hey, hey. You okay? You were
standing and then what happened?

53
00:03:37,636 --> 00:03:40,387
- It's just a little shocking.
- Oh... what were you saying?

54
00:03:40,472 --> 00:03:41,972
Did you... do we have a deal or...?

55
00:03:42,057 --> 00:03:43,940
Yeah, Richard, we have a deal.

56
00:03:44,026 --> 00:03:45,141
You have a bloody nose.

57
00:03:45,227 --> 00:03:47,143
That was pretty badass, Richard.

58
00:03:47,279 --> 00:03:49,362
Until it wasn't.

59
00:03:56,710 --> 00:03:59,634
- sync and corrections by Caio -
- resync by GoldenBeard -
- www.addic7ed.com -

60
00:04:01,210 --> 00:04:05,745
Uh, this is not even a room.
This is a hallway.

61
00:04:05,831 --> 00:04:08,915
Uh, it can't be, because that is a bed,

62
00:04:09,001 --> 00:04:11,835
thus, this is a bedroom.

63
00:04:11,970 --> 00:04:15,171
Two entrances and exits,
cross drafts ahoy.

64
00:04:15,307 --> 00:04:19,809
And, uh, it is the safest room in
the event, unlikely, of a fire.

65
00:04:19,895 --> 00:04:22,646
Oh! Whoopsies. Don't mind me.

66
00:04:22,731 --> 00:04:27,067
Ah, Fred, this is Jared. He actually
is a, uh... a temporary resident.

67
00:04:27,185 --> 00:04:30,570
Oh, uh, while I have you, there
were fresh droppings near my cot.

68
00:04:30,689 --> 00:04:33,907
I think you were right. The Havahart
traps don't seem to be working.

69
00:04:34,026 --> 00:04:38,495
I was thinking maybe we could just pick
a day and just drench it in hawk urine,

70
00:04:38,580 --> 00:04:41,414
because the scent of a predator
can keep rodents at bay.

71
00:04:41,533 --> 00:04:45,201
It's funny, we're named Pied
Piper, but we're beset with rats.

72
00:04:45,287 --> 00:04:47,587
Little rascals.

73
00:04:52,044 --> 00:04:55,962
Fuck this. I've been writing
quick, bullshit subpar code

74
00:04:56,048 --> 00:04:58,848
for 48 hours and I want to kill myself.

75
00:04:58,934 --> 00:05:01,051
How do you do it every day, Dinesh?

76
00:05:01,186 --> 00:05:05,388
What a coincidence, I've also been
writing bullshit code for 48 hours,

77
00:05:05,474 --> 00:05:07,390
and want you to kill yourself.

78
00:05:07,476 --> 00:05:09,196
Guys, please. Let's just
shit this thing out

79
00:05:09,227 --> 00:05:11,311
so we can get on to
building the platform.

80
00:05:11,396 --> 00:05:13,280
Hi.

81
00:05:14,399 --> 00:05:16,283
- Hi.
- Dang.

82
00:05:16,401 --> 00:05:18,451
- What?
- I'm Dang.

83
00:05:18,570 --> 00:05:21,321
- I'm Dang?
- Dang.

84
00:05:21,406 --> 00:05:24,240
- What...
- My name is Dang.

85
00:05:24,326 --> 00:05:26,660
Oh, my... I'm sorry. What,
uh, what can I do for you?

86
00:05:26,745 --> 00:05:29,996
I'm heading the design team that's
building the enclosure for the box.

87
00:05:30,082 --> 00:05:34,084
- It's time for the concept meeting.
- Concept meeting?

88
00:05:34,219 --> 00:05:38,254
Okay. I'm just going to
show you a few pictures,

89
00:05:38,340 --> 00:05:40,674
and you tell me which
ones you like, okay?

90
00:05:40,759 --> 00:05:42,509
Okay. Sure.

91
00:05:53,605 --> 00:05:55,522
Look, wait, hold on.

92
00:05:55,607 --> 00:05:57,727
I thought you were going to
show me pictures of boxes.

93
00:05:57,776 --> 00:06:00,744
- Like data storage devices.
- Before I can actualize a box,

94
00:06:00,829 --> 00:06:03,830
you and I need to develop a
shared aesthetic vocabulary.

95
00:06:03,949 --> 00:06:05,915
Otherwise, I have no idea
what you're going to want.

96
00:06:06,001 --> 00:06:09,202
Um, I have a lot of
work to do right now.

97
00:06:09,287 --> 00:06:11,671
This is work. This is my work.

98
00:06:11,790 --> 00:06:14,174
What we're doing here
could actually save time.

99
00:06:14,292 --> 00:06:17,711
- Okay. Sure. Yeah. Uh...
- Let's just make this simple.

100
00:06:17,796 --> 00:06:21,131
If the box were an animal, what
sort of animal would it be?

101
00:06:21,216 --> 00:06:23,099
Leopard?

102
00:06:23,185 --> 00:06:25,135
Butterfly? Rhinoceros?

103
00:06:25,220 --> 00:06:28,438
Stop. Animal? Um, it's a box.

104
00:06:28,523 --> 00:06:30,357
Right? Okay, so if you need an animal,

105
00:06:30,475 --> 00:06:33,193
make it a box turtle.
How does that sound?

106
00:06:33,311 --> 00:06:36,112
So this is all kind of a joke to you?

107
00:06:36,198 --> 00:06:40,450
You know what? I don't actually give a
flying fuck what this box looks like.

108
00:06:40,535 --> 00:06:42,952
Okay, if it was up to me, I wouldn't
even have it in the first place.

109
00:06:43,038 --> 00:06:48,324
So, look, here. This
is a black rectangle.

110
00:06:48,410 --> 00:06:51,077
Make it that. All right?
Because we're going to take it

111
00:06:51,163 --> 00:06:53,713
and put it in a hole in a
subbasement in a data center,

112
00:06:53,832 --> 00:06:58,501
where no one can see it except for a
sad man named John with a ponytail.

113
00:06:58,587 --> 00:07:01,054
Okay? Just make it a box.

114
00:07:01,173 --> 00:07:04,090
And please turn off that fucking music.

115
00:07:14,102 --> 00:07:16,352
Hello!

116
00:07:16,488 --> 00:07:18,405
It appears there has been a mistake.

117
00:07:18,523 --> 00:07:21,191
Is this not my parking space?

118
00:07:21,326 --> 00:07:24,277
Sorry, a lot of premium
spaces are being reassigned.

119
00:07:24,362 --> 00:07:27,831
14-A, you've been reassigned to lot D.

120
00:07:27,916 --> 00:07:30,083
Lot D?

121
00:07:30,202 --> 00:07:33,503
The structure?

122
00:07:33,588 --> 00:07:35,205
Beyond the freeway?

123
00:07:35,340 --> 00:07:38,091
Anywhere above level
three, those are reserved.

124
00:07:38,210 --> 00:07:40,293
There's a shuttle stop
on the ground level.

125
00:07:40,378 --> 00:07:42,212
A shuttle?

126
00:07:49,938 --> 00:07:52,639
Call Gavin Belson. Cell.

127
00:07:59,364 --> 00:08:02,198
<i>Greetings,
friend, I'm not available right now.</i>

128
00:08:02,284 --> 00:08:04,067
<i>Please leave a message after the beep.</i>

129
00:08:04,152 --> 00:08:06,653
<i>I'll get back to you as soon as I can.</i>

130
00:08:12,494 --> 00:08:14,077
What the fuck?
Why isn't this working?

131
00:08:14,162 --> 00:08:16,663
Gilfoyle's preprocessor
and my compressor

132
00:08:16,748 --> 00:08:21,334
should integrate seamlessly.
This should work.

133
00:08:21,419 --> 00:08:24,087
I may have made my preprocessor

134
00:08:24,222 --> 00:08:26,022
slightly faster than you
asked me to, Richard.

135
00:08:26,091 --> 00:08:28,591
What do you mean? How
much slightly faster?

136
00:08:28,727 --> 00:08:31,594
- 200 megs per second.
- You dick.

137
00:08:31,730 --> 00:08:33,897
That's eight times as fast
as the specs required.

138
00:08:33,982 --> 00:08:36,149
No wonder our modules aren't
running at the same speed.

139
00:08:36,268 --> 00:08:39,018
- Why would you do that?
- I tried to make it slow.

140
00:08:39,104 --> 00:08:41,654
I really did. But I'm not Dinesh.

141
00:08:41,773 --> 00:08:44,157
It's very difficult for
me to do shitty work.

142
00:08:44,276 --> 00:08:46,442
So I added a differencing library

143
00:08:46,578 --> 00:08:48,778
and then the whole thing
just took off like a rocket.

144
00:08:48,864 --> 00:08:52,782
Wait, so you're not processing
whole files, just the changes?

145
00:08:52,868 --> 00:08:55,752
- That's actually pretty cool.
- Yeah, I thought so too.

146
00:08:55,837 --> 00:08:57,537
That's why I wrote it.

147
00:08:57,622 --> 00:09:01,758
All right, well, I guess I
should just revert back.

148
00:09:01,843 --> 00:09:06,346
Right? Slow my preprocessor way down.

149
00:09:06,464 --> 00:09:09,883
Although, Richard, couldn't you
just rewrite the compressor

150
00:09:09,968 --> 00:09:12,385
to make it faster so it's compatible?

151
00:09:12,470 --> 00:09:15,555
I mean, these are minimum speeds, right?

152
00:09:15,640 --> 00:09:17,440
Just cause making the box sucks

153
00:09:17,526 --> 00:09:19,809
doesn't mean we have
to suck at making it.

154
00:09:19,895 --> 00:09:23,196
Yeah. Okay. Um, here's one idea.

155
00:09:23,315 --> 00:09:28,067
Uh, what if we actually move
upstream and connect the parser...

156
00:09:28,153 --> 00:09:32,038
directly to the
compressor seed functions.

157
00:09:32,958 --> 00:09:34,324
Okay.

158
00:09:34,459 --> 00:09:36,459
Well, then the whole
thing would really fly.

159
00:09:36,545 --> 00:09:39,212
Yeah. That would rock.

160
00:09:39,331 --> 00:09:42,882
Hey, Richard, do you have a sec? I have
a, uh, preliminary render for you.

161
00:09:46,087 --> 00:09:47,587
What is that?

162
00:09:47,672 --> 00:09:50,306
What do you mean? It's a box.

163
00:09:50,392 --> 00:09:52,660
That's not our box, is it?

164
00:09:52,836 --> 00:09:55,035
Yes. It's exactly what you asked me for.

165
00:09:55,146 --> 00:09:58,598
You drew a rectangle and said if it
was an animal, it'd be a box turtle.

166
00:09:58,683 --> 00:10:01,734
I mean, are you just going to do the
bare minimum and call it a day?

167
00:10:01,853 --> 00:10:03,018
Is that, like, what you do?

168
00:10:03,043 --> 00:10:05,545
You said it didn't matter,
you said you didn't care.

169
00:10:05,607 --> 00:10:07,690
No one's caring about this.
I'm just saying, like,

170
00:10:07,776 --> 00:10:09,609
it's just a matter of pride
and, like, self-respect.

171
00:10:09,694 --> 00:10:12,528
I mean, that's going to go in brochures,
man, that's like an advertisement

172
00:10:12,614 --> 00:10:14,030
to you and the company and everything.

173
00:10:14,115 --> 00:10:15,698
I can maybe add some color to it

174
00:10:15,834 --> 00:10:17,367
and give the bezel a little slam.

175
00:10:17,452 --> 00:10:19,202
There you go. Definitely, a slam.
Slam it.

176
00:10:19,287 --> 00:10:20,837
Yeah, maybe add some more lights.

177
00:10:20,922 --> 00:10:22,088
Sure. Yeah. Well, hey, uh,

178
00:10:22,207 --> 00:10:24,257
what are you doing standing
around here talking about it?

179
00:10:24,376 --> 00:10:26,292
You should go do it, you know.
Go and make the damn thing.

180
00:10:26,378 --> 00:10:27,978
Make it a jaguar 'cause I have a feeling

181
00:10:28,046 --> 00:10:29,462
this baby is going to purr.

182
00:10:29,547 --> 00:10:31,881
I don't care either, but, you know,

183
00:10:31,967 --> 00:10:33,567
I think maybe a gazelle is more like it.

184
00:10:33,635 --> 00:10:35,518
Cause it's synonymous with speed.

185
00:10:35,604 --> 00:10:38,104
Fuck that. A cheetah's faster.

186
00:10:38,223 --> 00:10:39,639
And it kills fucking gazelles.

187
00:10:39,724 --> 00:10:41,107
But I really don't fucking care.

188
00:10:41,226 --> 00:10:43,943
- But definitely cheetah.
- Or a gazelle.

189
00:10:44,062 --> 00:10:45,945
Also, don't throw away
the whole jaguar thing,

190
00:10:46,064 --> 00:10:48,024
- 'cause they're pretty quick too.
- Or a gazelle.

191
00:10:52,370 --> 00:10:54,203
Ah! Jared, Jesus fuck!
What are you doing?

192
00:10:54,289 --> 00:10:55,822
Sorry. I was...

193
00:10:55,907 --> 00:10:58,541
I was just taking a quiet
moment to collect myself.

194
00:10:58,627 --> 00:11:00,410
What the hell is all this shit?

195
00:11:00,545 --> 00:11:02,211
My tenant has been leaving my belongings

196
00:11:02,297 --> 00:11:03,746
in the alley behind my condo,

197
00:11:03,832 --> 00:11:05,298
to make more room for his tenants.

198
00:11:05,417 --> 00:11:07,917
- Your tenant has tenants?
- Yeah.

199
00:11:08,053 --> 00:11:11,888
He's Airbnbing my Airbnb.
So, if it's okay with you,

200
00:11:11,973 --> 00:11:14,474
I might need to stay a
little bit longer, um...

201
00:11:14,592 --> 00:11:17,644
I can go around the back to get
to the bathroom once Fred's here.

202
00:11:17,762 --> 00:11:21,597
- When's he moving in?
- Wouldn't we all like to know.

203
00:11:23,735 --> 00:11:27,603
Fred, Erlich Bachman. You said you'd
get back to me about the room.

204
00:11:27,689 --> 00:11:30,606
I don't mean to pressure you,
but I need you to decide now.

205
00:11:30,692 --> 00:11:32,608
In this moment, on this phone call.

206
00:11:32,694 --> 00:11:36,329
I am literally standing within
feet of three potential candidates

207
00:11:36,448 --> 00:11:39,666
whose selves I could
easily tell to go fuck...

208
00:11:39,784 --> 00:11:41,417
Good? What do you mean good?

209
00:11:41,503 --> 00:11:43,586
What does that mean, you're good?

210
00:11:43,672 --> 00:11:48,508
What? What other incubator? Where?
What is the address?

211
00:11:48,626 --> 00:11:52,128
Because I want to send
them a fucking nice gift.

212
00:12:02,774 --> 00:12:06,526
Fucking "Miami Vice,"
disgusting architecture!

213
00:12:10,815 --> 00:12:13,483
Hey, man. What are you doing here?

214
00:12:13,568 --> 00:12:15,151
What the fuck are you doing here?

215
00:12:15,236 --> 00:12:17,120
What do you mean? This is my house.

216
00:12:17,205 --> 00:12:18,488
Crazy, right?

217
00:12:18,623 --> 00:12:21,741
This place is huge.

218
00:12:23,128 --> 00:12:24,577
Did you want to...?

219
00:12:24,662 --> 00:12:27,630
Yes, it would be polite for you
to invite me into your home

220
00:12:27,716 --> 00:12:29,499
and offer me a Push Pop, yes.

221
00:12:29,584 --> 00:12:32,085
I'm sorry. You're telling me

222
00:12:32,170 --> 00:12:34,087
that we should spend less time together?

223
00:12:34,172 --> 00:12:35,671
Absolutely, Chela.

224
00:12:35,807 --> 00:12:39,175
Well, I have to say,
this is a big relief.

225
00:12:39,310 --> 00:12:41,978
In all candor, I was feeling the same,

226
00:12:42,063 --> 00:12:46,432
but I thought that discussing
it with you might be awkward.

227
00:12:46,518 --> 00:12:48,234
Not at all.

228
00:12:48,353 --> 00:12:51,154
You are ready, Chela,
to stand on your own,

229
00:12:51,239 --> 00:12:53,689
to weather the challenges of the future,

230
00:12:53,775 --> 00:12:58,494
and the rumors swirling
about your leadership.

231
00:13:00,165 --> 00:13:01,330
Be well, Gavin.

232
00:13:01,416 --> 00:13:04,784
I'm... I'm sorry. Wait, what...
what rumors?

233
00:13:04,869 --> 00:13:07,787
There is talk that in the
face of a growing threat

234
00:13:07,872 --> 00:13:11,674
from Richard Hendricks and Pied
Piper, armed with a powerful new CEO,

235
00:13:11,760 --> 00:13:14,594
- that you have done nothing.
- Well, yes, but...

236
00:13:14,712 --> 00:13:19,382
That by shuttering Nucleus, you have
left them to gather strength unopposed,

237
00:13:19,467 --> 00:13:24,220
ceding the entire space. Some are saying
this is a show of great weakness.

238
00:13:24,305 --> 00:13:27,390
Who? Who exactly is saying this?

239
00:13:28,977 --> 00:13:31,360
Well, people talk.

240
00:13:31,446 --> 00:13:34,230
In the halls, in the cafeteria,
on the parking shuttle.

241
00:13:34,365 --> 00:13:37,533
Wait, should... should I
be worried about this?

242
00:13:39,571 --> 00:13:41,737
The beauty is...

243
00:13:41,873 --> 00:13:45,241
now you have all the answers.

244
00:13:46,411 --> 00:13:51,581
Yes? All right.

245
00:13:51,666 --> 00:13:54,834
Denpok, please.

246
00:13:54,919 --> 00:13:58,137
Will you sit back down?
I need your help.

247
00:13:58,256 --> 00:14:02,475
- Of course.
- Thank you.

248
00:14:04,012 --> 00:14:08,147
Clearly, we have come far,
but we still have far to go.

249
00:14:08,266 --> 00:14:11,767
Not as far as lot D,

250
00:14:11,853 --> 00:14:14,320
but far nonetheless.

251
00:14:15,523 --> 00:14:17,440
Look what you guys built.

252
00:14:17,525 --> 00:14:20,776
You can't help but be elegant,
you're like Audrey Hepburn.

253
00:14:20,912 --> 00:14:21,912
Ah, here they come.

254
00:14:21,946 --> 00:14:24,113
Well, I know we made a big deal

255
00:14:24,199 --> 00:14:27,416
about just doing your absolute
minimum of your specs,

256
00:14:27,502 --> 00:14:30,119
but one thing led to
another and, well, Jack,

257
00:14:30,205 --> 00:14:33,172
buckle your seatbelt because I'd
like to introduce you to...

258
00:14:33,291 --> 00:14:34,924
Richard, just save it.

259
00:14:35,009 --> 00:14:39,045
Just got off the phone with
Calvin Greene, CEO of Maleant.

260
00:14:39,130 --> 00:14:41,464
- They're pulling out.
- What?

261
00:14:41,599 --> 00:14:43,883
- How can they just pull out?
- Because they shopped our deal

262
00:14:43,968 --> 00:14:46,135
and got a better bid from
another appliance maker,

263
00:14:46,271 --> 00:14:48,638
so Maleant's out, they fucked us.

264
00:14:48,723 --> 00:14:50,022
- Oh.
- Yeah.

265
00:14:50,141 --> 00:14:52,892
So, probably we should just push pause

266
00:14:52,977 --> 00:14:57,313
on the whole box thing until we
figure out where to go from here.

267
00:14:57,398 --> 00:15:00,950
Okay. Uh, I... actually, I have a...
I have a question.

268
00:15:01,035 --> 00:15:04,070
Yeah, I know. I know. I know,
Richard, we had an arrangement,

269
00:15:04,155 --> 00:15:06,822
but that was all based on
closing the Maleant deal.

270
00:15:06,958 --> 00:15:09,118
- So now we have to figure out...
- No, no. Sorry, um...

271
00:15:09,160 --> 00:15:11,160
No, my question is, uh,
who did they go with?

272
00:15:11,296 --> 00:15:13,713
Whose box do they think is
that much better than ours?

273
00:15:13,831 --> 00:15:17,300
- Oh, uh, Dectosphere.
- Dectosphere?

274
00:15:17,385 --> 00:15:19,135
It's a brick with a power cord.

275
00:15:19,220 --> 00:15:22,338
Yeah. But I hear their new 43-11s,

276
00:15:22,473 --> 00:15:25,725
they're going to be hitting
close to 75 megs per second.

277
00:15:25,843 --> 00:15:28,344
Uh, we can do 200.

278
00:15:30,765 --> 00:15:31,682
What?

279
00:15:31,707 --> 00:15:34,457
Yeah. You think you can get me
in a room with Calvin Greene?

280
00:15:34,519 --> 00:15:37,069
This is the pool.
The first night I was here,

281
00:15:37,188 --> 00:15:38,604
I turned the heat, like, all the way up,

282
00:15:38,690 --> 00:15:41,657
and half the water evaporated overnight.
It's crazy.

283
00:15:41,743 --> 00:15:44,443
Well, I hope you own a skimmer
because there's a massive turd

284
00:15:44,529 --> 00:15:46,829
floating on the surface of your pool.

285
00:15:46,915 --> 00:15:49,999
Who, Fred? Fred's great, man.

286
00:15:50,084 --> 00:15:52,785
He's got this really cool, um,
malware cataloguing thing...

287
00:15:52,870 --> 00:15:55,871
Cut the shit, Big Head. I see
exactly what you're doing.

288
00:15:55,957 --> 00:15:58,874
Poaching my tenants? You
stole my business model.

289
00:15:59,010 --> 00:16:01,260
What? No. Dude, it's
not like that at all.

290
00:16:01,379 --> 00:16:04,013
It's just this house has,
like, nine bedrooms.

291
00:16:04,098 --> 00:16:05,715
You have any idea how
scary that gets at night?

292
00:16:05,800 --> 00:16:07,800
So I just wanted to have
some roommates around,

293
00:16:07,885 --> 00:16:11,470
but, um, you know, I felt weird
charging them rent, cause, you know.

294
00:16:11,556 --> 00:16:12,972
No, I don't.

295
00:16:13,057 --> 00:16:15,858
Well, it's like, 20 million, you
know, so I don't really need it,

296
00:16:15,944 --> 00:16:19,395
but then they felt weird living
here without paying me anything,

297
00:16:19,480 --> 00:16:21,697
so they offered me pieces of
their startups. That's all.

298
00:16:21,783 --> 00:16:25,701
You just admitted to starting
a competing incubator.

299
00:16:25,787 --> 00:16:28,738
I've caught you in a web of
your own lies, haven't I?

300
00:16:28,823 --> 00:16:31,490
I don't think so. Wait, have you?

301
00:16:31,576 --> 00:16:33,576
All right, Big Head. You
want to play it that way?

302
00:16:33,661 --> 00:16:36,579
If it's a fight you want,
then a fight you shall have.

303
00:16:36,714 --> 00:16:39,248
All of you!

304
00:16:40,418 --> 00:16:42,251
See you, buddy.

305
00:16:46,090 --> 00:16:48,174
Big Head.

306
00:17:00,355 --> 00:17:01,604
Fuck!

307
00:17:01,739 --> 00:17:04,156
What are we doing here?

308
00:17:04,275 --> 00:17:05,775
Why are we fighting like this?

309
00:17:05,860 --> 00:17:07,493
I mean, I'm going to steal your guys,

310
00:17:07,612 --> 00:17:09,111
you're gonna steal my guys.

311
00:17:09,247 --> 00:17:11,664
We'll both wield the heft of
our considerable fortunes

312
00:17:11,783 --> 00:17:14,116
until each of us have
nearly nothing left.

313
00:17:14,252 --> 00:17:16,452
Is that really what you want? Me either.

314
00:17:16,537 --> 00:17:19,455
So what do you say we join forces?

315
00:17:19,590 --> 00:17:20,873
I'm big enough.

316
00:17:20,958 --> 00:17:26,846
Are you, Big Head? Partners?

317
00:17:26,964 --> 00:17:28,964
- Okay.
- Attaboy.

318
00:17:29,050 --> 00:17:31,467
All right, I'm going to take a spin
on that fancy Japanese toilet,

319
00:17:31,552 --> 00:17:34,854
and then let's get to work figuring
out which one of these bedrooms

320
00:17:34,972 --> 00:17:37,223
is going to be my office.

321
00:17:38,693 --> 00:17:43,029
Consider the bulldog.
A grotesque monstrosity

322
00:17:43,147 --> 00:17:44,947
born of relentless inbreeding.

323
00:17:45,033 --> 00:17:49,068
Riddled with sinusitis,
crippled by joint pain.

324
00:17:49,153 --> 00:17:52,405
Chronically flatulent.

325
00:17:52,490 --> 00:17:57,126
A kindly pet, or humanity's
cruelest mistake?

326
00:17:58,129 --> 00:18:01,797
All right, take it away.

327
00:18:01,883 --> 00:18:05,000
Ladies and gentlemen, just
like that horrible creature,

328
00:18:05,086 --> 00:18:08,337
the entire Nucleus program was
the result of inbreeding.

329
00:18:08,423 --> 00:18:12,641
We mated Hooli engineers with Hooli
designers in a Hooli kennel.

330
00:18:12,727 --> 00:18:17,847
Is it any wonder the result was
just as unspeakable as that thing?

331
00:18:17,982 --> 00:18:19,348
Bring it back here.

332
00:18:19,434 --> 00:18:23,018
Look at that hideous face.

333
00:18:23,104 --> 00:18:25,237
All right, get it out of here!

334
00:18:26,357 --> 00:18:28,274
I'm sorry, Gavin. What's your point?

335
00:18:28,359 --> 00:18:32,027
My point is just as not all dogs
are as flawed as the bulldog,

336
00:18:32,163 --> 00:18:35,614
not all compression plays
are as flawed as Nucleus.

337
00:18:35,700 --> 00:18:39,368
Our execution was lacking,
but the idea was correct.

338
00:18:39,504 --> 00:18:42,037
Our only mistake was looking inward.

339
00:18:42,123 --> 00:18:45,508
It is now time to look outward.

340
00:18:49,347 --> 00:18:51,714
I mean, this guy did all of the work.

341
00:18:51,799 --> 00:18:54,216
Ten minutes after we leave
Calvin Greene's office,

342
00:18:54,302 --> 00:18:56,886
he calls me up and says,
"Hey, you got me. How much?"

343
00:18:57,021 --> 00:19:00,890
I just showed them the box,
Jack's the one who made the deal.

344
00:19:01,025 --> 00:19:03,192
Good feelings, happy feelings.

345
00:19:03,277 --> 00:19:08,531
So Big Head built a better version
of your incubator, accidentally.

346
00:19:08,616 --> 00:19:11,283
- Correct.
- And he didn't even realize it?

347
00:19:11,973 --> 00:19:13,143
Also correct.

348
00:19:13,231 --> 00:19:16,430
And your solution to that was
to go into business with him?

349
00:19:16,541 --> 00:19:19,742
Big Head? The guy you
once called more useless

350
00:19:19,827 --> 00:19:21,827
than a bag of dicks without a handle?

351
00:19:21,913 --> 00:19:25,080
Dinesh, don't fall for his
"aw, shucks" routine.

352
00:19:25,166 --> 00:19:26,999
He is a shrewd businessman.

353
00:19:27,084 --> 00:19:29,969
And together, we have over 20 million

354
00:19:30,087 --> 00:19:33,172
and 36,000 dollars at our disposal.

355
00:19:33,257 --> 00:19:38,010
Now, if you'll excuse
me, on to Pied Piper.

356
00:19:38,095 --> 00:19:44,600
I have a board meeting, and this board
ain't exactly gonna meet itself.

357
00:19:44,685 --> 00:19:46,101
Our subsequent order of business

358
00:19:46,187 --> 00:19:48,187
is the approval of Pied Piper's redraft

359
00:19:48,272 --> 00:19:50,606
of the hardware requisition agreement

360
00:19:50,741 --> 00:19:52,441
with Maleant Data Systems Solutions.

361
00:19:52,527 --> 00:19:55,327
- Ah, yeah.
- The main event.

362
00:19:55,446 --> 00:19:59,165
We've all read the latest
sales agreement, yes?

363
00:19:59,283 --> 00:20:01,033
Actually, I don't think I was CC'd on...

364
00:20:01,118 --> 00:20:03,252
So I believe we can move
straightforward to a vote?

365
00:20:03,337 --> 00:20:06,121
Actually, I'm sorry. I
have an issue with, uh,

366
00:20:06,257 --> 00:20:07,840
section 14, paragraph two.

367
00:20:07,959 --> 00:20:11,126
Um, it states that Maleant
has exclusive rights

368
00:20:11,212 --> 00:20:14,630
to purchase any appliance made by
Pied Piper for the next five years.

369
00:20:14,715 --> 00:20:17,299
Oh, uh, yeah. Jack gave them
exclusive rights to the box

370
00:20:17,385 --> 00:20:19,268
so that we would get a
better price upfront.

371
00:20:19,353 --> 00:20:21,353
Right, but this language is far broader.

372
00:20:21,472 --> 00:20:25,441
They actually have exclusive rights to use
the underlying algorithm in any form.

373
00:20:25,526 --> 00:20:27,109
Oh, no. That's not right at all.

374
00:20:27,195 --> 00:20:29,478
Yeah, so I think, Jack, we're
going to have to go back to them

375
00:20:29,614 --> 00:20:30,813
and just change the language here.

376
00:20:30,898 --> 00:20:34,233
We're not going to be able to do that.

377
00:20:37,121 --> 00:20:38,904
And, uh, why not?

378
00:20:38,990 --> 00:20:42,708
Because that was the specific
language which Maleant requested

379
00:20:42,827 --> 00:20:47,630
when I got them to pay three times
as much for each one of our boxes.

380
00:20:47,715 --> 00:20:50,499
It's a white label deal,
so they have the right

381
00:20:50,585 --> 00:20:52,835
to resell these boxes in
any form they choose.

382
00:20:52,970 --> 00:20:56,222
Yeah, but Jack, if they have
exclusive rights to the algorithm,

383
00:20:56,340 --> 00:20:58,841
then we can't use the algorithm
to build the platform.

384
00:20:58,926 --> 00:21:02,144
For five years. They wanted
seven, I talked them down.

385
00:21:02,230 --> 00:21:05,097
I know, but you said that we could build
the platform once we gave you the box.

386
00:21:05,182 --> 00:21:08,484
Yes, but I never specified a timeframe.

387
00:21:08,569 --> 00:21:09,902
Are you serious?

388
00:21:10,021 --> 00:21:12,571
I save your ass and you stab
me in the back like this?

389
00:21:12,690 --> 00:21:15,157
- In the front, Richard.
- Laurie, did you know about this?

390
00:21:15,243 --> 00:21:18,110
- I did not.
- Well, then, good, okay.

391
00:21:18,195 --> 00:21:21,030
So it won't go through, because
Laurie's not going to vote for it.

392
00:21:21,115 --> 00:21:25,834
Richard, this is complicated.

393
00:21:25,920 --> 00:21:29,421
If one goes strictly by the
numbers, these numbers,

394
00:21:29,540 --> 00:21:33,425
you have built a box
that is so valuable,

395
00:21:33,544 --> 00:21:36,545
I am now obligated to
vote in favor of it.

396
00:21:36,631 --> 00:21:40,466
Laurie, this deal is peanuts.
The platform could be worth

397
00:21:40,551 --> 00:21:42,635
a thousand times what the box is worth.

398
00:21:42,720 --> 00:21:45,271
It could be, correct, however...

399
00:21:45,389 --> 00:21:48,307
This is theoretical, Richard.

400
00:21:48,392 --> 00:21:50,109
You don't have a price point, I do,

401
00:21:50,227 --> 00:21:53,562
and she has a fiduciary obligation
as a member of the board

402
00:21:53,648 --> 00:21:56,282
to vote for the box. On the page,

403
00:21:56,400 --> 00:21:59,285
this is in the best interest of
the company. Am I wrong, Laurie?

404
00:21:59,403 --> 00:22:01,737
That is factually correct.

405
00:22:01,872 --> 00:22:05,741
You remember when you tried to
end run me and kill the box?

406
00:22:05,876 --> 00:22:08,043
Well, she couldn't do a
goddamn thing about it then.

407
00:22:08,129 --> 00:22:12,214
And she can't do a goddamn
thing about it now.

408
00:22:12,300 --> 00:22:15,301
Simple majority ratifies the
agreement, all in favor.

409
00:22:15,419 --> 00:22:19,421
Are you kidding me? What the
fuck is going on right now?

410
00:22:19,507 --> 00:22:20,508
Laurie.

411
00:22:20,533 --> 00:22:23,534
I wasn't carbon copied on
this particular email,

412
00:22:23,594 --> 00:22:26,428
so I stand with Richard.

413
00:22:26,564 --> 00:22:29,898
Um, Richard,

414
00:22:29,984 --> 00:22:33,435
you know how I voted to fire
you a couple months ago?

415
00:22:33,571 --> 00:22:35,404
And I said that I did
it to stay in the game

416
00:22:35,489 --> 00:22:37,129
so that maybe at some
point in the future,

417
00:22:37,158 --> 00:22:39,608
I could do something to help?

418
00:22:39,694 --> 00:22:41,777
Well, Laurie,

419
00:22:41,912 --> 00:22:45,280
I know you'll probably
replace me on the board

420
00:22:45,366 --> 00:22:46,915
and call for a revote tomorrow,

421
00:22:47,001 --> 00:22:49,118
but I'm here today.

422
00:22:49,253 --> 00:22:52,504
And I don't have any
metrics to back it up,

423
00:22:52,623 --> 00:22:55,924
but I honestly believe that the
platform that Richard wants to build

424
00:22:56,010 --> 00:22:59,595
will be far more lucrative in
the long term than any box.

425
00:22:59,680 --> 00:23:05,267
So, at least for today, I'm voting no.

426
00:23:06,270 --> 00:23:07,803
Motion denied.

427
00:23:13,194 --> 00:23:16,562
We will be reconvening tomorrow.

428
00:23:16,647 --> 00:23:22,151
And if I could get a, uh, an email,
be CC'd on the latest draft...

429
00:23:23,871 --> 00:23:25,788
I couldn't sit there and
watch them do that to you.

430
00:23:25,873 --> 00:23:28,490
I just hope I don't end
up fired over this.

431
00:23:28,626 --> 00:23:30,876
Well, what you did took incredible guts.

432
00:23:30,995 --> 00:23:33,495
And the fact that it probably
won't make any difference

433
00:23:33,631 --> 00:23:36,048
makes it all the more meaningful.

434
00:23:36,167 --> 00:23:40,169
Right, I saw this nature documentary
where a bison fought a lion

435
00:23:40,254 --> 00:23:43,839
to protect the rest of the herd.
And it was so moving.

436
00:23:43,974 --> 00:23:47,509
Um, it didn't work, the lion,
uh, tore into the bison

437
00:23:47,645 --> 00:23:51,096
and then laid waste to the
herd, but what courage.

438
00:23:51,182 --> 00:23:53,399
Thank you, Jared.

439
00:23:53,517 --> 00:23:56,485
You guys just had to make
a great box, didn't you?

440
00:23:56,570 --> 00:23:59,188
You couldn't phone it in.

441
00:23:59,273 --> 00:24:03,826
Uh, guys, Gavin Belson is calling me.
Again.

442
00:24:03,911 --> 00:24:06,862
- What the fuck does he want?
- Hello?

443
00:24:06,947 --> 00:24:10,699
Richard Hendricks, just checking
in, seeing if you heard the news.

444
00:24:10,785 --> 00:24:13,836
- What news?
- Mm.

445
00:24:13,921 --> 00:24:16,839
Obviously, you don't have your
Hooli news alerts up to date.

446
00:24:16,924 --> 00:24:19,091
Go to the site. I'll wait.

447
00:24:20,795 --> 00:24:24,346
- Go to the Hooli news website.
- Okay.

448
00:24:27,718 --> 00:24:30,135
It's an ad.

449
00:24:30,221 --> 00:24:31,970
Um, it's an ad. Hold on.

450
00:24:32,056 --> 00:24:34,136
Just wait four seconds, and
you can click to skip it.

451
00:24:34,191 --> 00:24:36,642
Just wait four seconds and
then you can click it.

452
00:24:36,727 --> 00:24:39,228
No, it's the kind where you have
to watch the whole fucking thing.

453
00:24:39,313 --> 00:24:40,729
It's the whole ad kind.

454
00:24:40,865 --> 00:24:43,949
I thought we stopped doing those.
Goddamn it.

455
00:24:44,068 --> 00:24:46,819
Well, regardless, what you'll see
once the paid announcement is over,

456
00:24:46,904 --> 00:24:51,657
is that I just closed a
250 million dollar deal

457
00:24:51,742 --> 00:24:54,543
to acquire a little
company called Endframe.

458
00:24:54,628 --> 00:24:58,914
I thought you'd want to know.
Update those Hooli news alerts.

459
00:24:58,999 --> 00:25:00,666
Also, I invite you to click yes,

460
00:25:00,751 --> 00:25:05,504
if our ad experience was relevant to you.
Be well, Richard.

461
00:25:05,589 --> 00:25:07,005
What did he say?

462
00:25:07,091 --> 00:25:08,807
Oh, my God.

463
00:25:08,926 --> 00:25:12,060
"Gavin Belson announces
deal to acquire Endframe,

464
00:25:12,146 --> 00:25:17,599
"a middle-out compression platform
company, for 250 million dollars."

465
00:25:17,685 --> 00:25:20,936
Even after they shit
the bed with Nucleus,

466
00:25:21,071 --> 00:25:23,605
Hooli gets to build our
platform and we don't?

467
00:25:27,945 --> 00:25:30,696
- What is funny about this?
- He's intoxicated.

468
00:25:30,781 --> 00:25:33,949
No. No... yes, but don't you see?

469
00:25:34,034 --> 00:25:37,536
Gavin, in trying to fuck
us, just saved our asses.

470
00:25:37,621 --> 00:25:42,424
He's right. He's right.

471
00:25:42,510 --> 00:25:46,011
My gosh. Oh, my gosh, he's right.

472
00:25:46,130 --> 00:25:49,515
- Holy shit.
- I am so confused right now.

473
00:25:49,633 --> 00:25:52,301
Gavin set a p...

474
00:25:52,436 --> 00:25:55,270
- He set the...
- The price point.

475
00:25:55,356 --> 00:25:57,306
- Yes.
- Yes, yes, yes.

476
00:25:57,391 --> 00:26:01,393
Yes, thanks to Gavin, Endframe, a
middle-out compression platform,

477
00:26:01,478 --> 00:26:04,029
is objectively worth
250 million dollars.

478
00:26:04,148 --> 00:26:08,367
Wait, okay. We are a middle-out
compression platform company.

479
00:26:08,485 --> 00:26:11,737
Are we worth 250 million dollars?

480
00:26:11,822 --> 00:26:13,822
There's no way the box makes
us worth a fraction of that.

481
00:26:13,908 --> 00:26:15,541
Laurie couldn't vote for the platform

482
00:26:15,659 --> 00:26:17,910
because she couldn't assign
a dollar value to it.

483
00:26:17,995 --> 00:26:20,045
Well, Gavin has just done that.

484
00:26:20,164 --> 00:26:21,724
He's validated the market so there's...

485
00:26:21,832 --> 00:26:24,466
there's no reason to revote. We win.

486
00:26:24,552 --> 00:26:28,170
I can't wait to see the look
on that AAR prick's face

487
00:26:28,305 --> 00:26:32,891
when we come in there and gut him like a...

488
00:26:33,010 --> 00:26:35,811
- Is he okay?
- He's going to be fine.

489
00:26:35,896 --> 00:26:38,263
Welcome, men and ladies of Endframe.

490
00:26:38,349 --> 00:26:41,233
Rather than incestuously promoting
the same faces from within,

491
00:26:41,352 --> 00:26:47,356
you represent fresh blood, new ideas.
Everything Nucleus was not.

492
00:26:47,491 --> 00:26:53,362
It is my honor to personally
welcome you all to Hooli.

493
00:26:55,282 --> 00:26:56,999
Does he really not remember us?

494
00:26:57,084 --> 00:27:00,035
How long did you work at Hooli?
The last time?

495
00:27:00,170 --> 00:27:01,753
Seven years.

496
00:27:01,872 --> 00:27:05,674
I was here for nine. He was
invited to my wedding.

497
00:27:07,211 --> 00:27:10,045
I hope Jack doesn't cry.

498
00:27:10,180 --> 00:27:12,214
I really hope he does.

499
00:27:14,518 --> 00:27:18,220
Hey, Gloria. Lynn.

500
00:27:18,355 --> 00:27:22,107
- Did they both get fired?
- I don't...

501
00:27:22,226 --> 00:27:25,444
Laurie. What are you doing here?
Where's Jack?

502
00:27:25,562 --> 00:27:30,449
Uh, as you may recall, at our
board meeting last night,

503
00:27:30,567 --> 00:27:34,486
Jack said that he would get his
way, and that, in his words,

504
00:27:34,571 --> 00:27:39,074
I, quote, "couldn't do a goddamn
thing about it," end quote.

505
00:27:39,159 --> 00:27:43,295
Well, in light of recent activities,

506
00:27:43,414 --> 00:27:45,914
it appears that I could do
a goddamn thing about it.

507
00:27:46,050 --> 00:27:49,468
And I just did. Jack
Barker has been exited.

508
00:27:49,586 --> 00:27:53,221
- Fuck me sideways.
- Indeed.

509
00:27:53,307 --> 00:27:54,723
Effective immediately,

510
00:27:54,808 --> 00:27:58,176
you are all at liberty to
commence work upon the platform.

511
00:27:58,262 --> 00:28:01,563
Okay. Wow.

512
00:28:01,649 --> 00:28:05,100
Yeah, uh, uh, I just got to ask, um,

513
00:28:05,185 --> 00:28:08,937
with Jack not being CEO
anymore, am I CEO again?

514
00:28:09,023 --> 00:28:11,273
You are not.

515
00:28:11,408 --> 00:28:13,408
Nor are you, Mr. Bachman.

516
00:28:13,494 --> 00:28:15,744
I'm sorry, if I'm not CEO,
Erlich isn't, Jack isn't,

517
00:28:15,829 --> 00:28:17,496
who is going to run Pied Piper then?

518
00:28:17,614 --> 00:28:22,284
Officially, and until further notice,

519
00:28:22,369 --> 00:28:25,003
this chair will remain empty.

520
00:28:25,122 --> 00:28:27,589
- Really?
- Excuse me.
