1
00:00:08,308 --> 00:00:11,976
Quite a plan you boys cooked up here.

2
00:00:12,062 --> 00:00:14,145
Quite a plan.

3
00:00:14,231 --> 00:00:16,981
I'm not sure what upsets me more,

4
00:00:17,067 --> 00:00:20,068
that I have four employees

5
00:00:20,153 --> 00:00:22,821
that conspired to commit felony fraud,

6
00:00:22,906 --> 00:00:25,824
or that I have four employees
that are so stupid

7
00:00:25,909 --> 00:00:27,992
I found out about it within 30 seconds.

8
00:00:28,128 --> 00:00:31,629
Hearing it out loud, the
first one seems worse.

9
00:00:31,715 --> 00:00:36,501
We got sales, manufacturing,
design, assembly,

10
00:00:36,586 --> 00:00:38,720
logistics teams, they're
all ready to go.

11
00:00:38,839 --> 00:00:41,673
All of them on the
payroll, all of them here

12
00:00:41,808 --> 00:00:43,508
to build me a box.

13
00:00:43,643 --> 00:00:46,644
I have a deal, in principle,

14
00:00:46,730 --> 00:00:49,013
with Maleant to buy the box.

15
00:00:49,099 --> 00:00:54,652
The second that we deliver a product that
meets those specs, we are cashing checks!

16
00:00:54,738 --> 00:00:57,989
And you are the only four
people in this building

17
00:00:58,075 --> 00:00:59,324
that are fighting me on it!

18
00:00:59,409 --> 00:01:02,944
So give me one reason why I
don't fire you right now,

19
00:01:03,029 --> 00:01:04,362
claw back your options,

20
00:01:04,448 --> 00:01:06,948
make you unhireable all over town,

21
00:01:07,033 --> 00:01:10,502
one goddamn reason!

22
00:01:16,793 --> 00:01:19,711
- Because you can't.
- Excuse me?

23
00:01:19,796 --> 00:01:22,764
This agreement says
that you have ten weeks

24
00:01:22,883 --> 00:01:26,050
to complete a working prototype
before the deal expires.

25
00:01:26,186 --> 00:01:28,720
So how are you gonna do
that if you fire us?

26
00:01:28,855 --> 00:01:32,140
There are maybe eight engineers on earth

27
00:01:32,225 --> 00:01:34,142
proficient in middle-out compression.

28
00:01:34,227 --> 00:01:36,528
Five of them work for
Endframe, your competition,

29
00:01:36,613 --> 00:01:39,280
and three of them are here
in this office right now.

30
00:01:39,399 --> 00:01:41,065
So if we're gone,

31
00:01:41,151 --> 00:01:43,201
I don't think you're ever
going to get your box.

32
00:01:44,237 --> 00:01:45,570
What do you want?

33
00:01:45,655 --> 00:01:48,406
I want to build my platform. Now.

34
00:01:48,542 --> 00:01:51,826
To complete the box project is going
to take six months, at least.

35
00:01:51,912 --> 00:01:55,997
So, what I think maybe
we should do is, um,

36
00:01:56,082 --> 00:01:58,249
take a little tip from your chart there,

37
00:01:58,335 --> 00:02:00,385
and we, uh, compromise.

38
00:02:00,470 --> 00:02:03,087
Compromise is the shared hypotenuse

39
00:02:03,223 --> 00:02:05,757
of the conjoined triangles of success.

40
00:02:05,892 --> 00:02:10,261
Mm-hmm, yep. So, uh...
so, what I'm proposing

41
00:02:10,397 --> 00:02:13,598
is we stand up the prototype, that's it.

42
00:02:13,733 --> 00:02:19,020
We're not doing any custom features, no
new versions, no maintenance, nothing.

43
00:02:19,105 --> 00:02:21,656
Richard, the Maleant basement.

44
00:02:21,775 --> 00:02:25,193
And no onsite support. I think
you can hire other engineers

45
00:02:25,278 --> 00:02:26,744
to do that fucking mole monkey work.

46
00:02:26,830 --> 00:02:30,081
The second we write code that satisfies

47
00:02:30,167 --> 00:02:32,750
the basic minimum
requirement of the deal,

48
00:02:32,836 --> 00:02:36,087
we are off the box and
on to the platform.

49
00:02:36,173 --> 00:02:38,289
And that is my final offer.

50
00:02:38,375 --> 00:02:42,844
So, what do you say to that action--

51
00:02:42,963 --> 00:02:45,296
- Whoa!
- Ow! Ow!

52
00:02:45,382 --> 00:02:49,517
Hey, hey. You okay? You were
standing and then what happened?

53
00:02:49,636 --> 00:02:52,387
- It's just a little shocking.
- Oh... what were you saying?

54
00:02:52,472 --> 00:02:53,972
Did you... do we have a deal or...?

55
00:02:54,057 --> 00:02:55,940
Yeah, Richard, we have a deal.

56
00:02:56,026 --> 00:02:57,141
You have a bloody nose.

57
00:02:57,227 --> 00:02:59,143
That was pretty badass, Richard.

58
00:02:59,279 --> 00:03:01,362
Until it wasn't.

59
00:03:08,710 --> 00:03:11,634
- sync and corrections by Caio -
- www.addic7ed.com -

60
00:03:13,210 --> 00:03:17,745
Uh, this is not even a room.
This is a hallway.

61
00:03:17,831 --> 00:03:20,915
Uh, it can't be, because that is a bed,

62
00:03:21,001 --> 00:03:23,835
thus, this is a bedroom.

63
00:03:23,970 --> 00:03:27,171
Two entrances and exits,
cross drafts ahoy.

64
00:03:27,307 --> 00:03:31,809
And, uh, it is the safest room in
the event, unlikely, of a fire.

65
00:03:31,895 --> 00:03:34,646
Oh! Whoopsies. Don't mind me.

66
00:03:34,731 --> 00:03:39,067
Ah, Fred, this is Jared. He actually
is a, uh... a temporary resident.

67
00:03:39,185 --> 00:03:42,570
Oh, uh, while I have you, there
were fresh droppings near my cot.

68
00:03:42,689 --> 00:03:45,907
I think you were right. The Havahart
traps don't seem to be working.

69
00:03:46,026 --> 00:03:50,495
I was thinking maybe we could just pick
a day and just drench it in hawk urine,

70
00:03:50,580 --> 00:03:53,414
because the scent of a predator
can keep rodents at bay.

71
00:03:53,533 --> 00:03:57,201
It's funny, we're named Pied
Piper, but we're beset with rats.

72
00:03:57,287 --> 00:03:59,587
Little rascals.

73
00:04:04,044 --> 00:04:07,962
Fuck this. I've been writing
quick, bullshit subpar code

74
00:04:08,048 --> 00:04:10,848
for 48 hours and I want to kill myself.

75
00:04:10,934 --> 00:04:13,051
How do you do it every day, Dinesh?

76
00:04:13,186 --> 00:04:17,388
What a coincidence, I've also been
writing bullshit code for 48 hours,

77
00:04:17,474 --> 00:04:19,390
and want you to kill yourself.

78
00:04:19,476 --> 00:04:21,142
Guys, please. Let's just
shit this thing out

79
00:04:21,227 --> 00:04:23,311
so we can get on to
building the platform.

80
00:04:23,396 --> 00:04:25,280
Hi.

81
00:04:26,399 --> 00:04:28,283
- Hi.
- Dang.

82
00:04:28,401 --> 00:04:30,451
- What?
- I'm Dang.

83
00:04:30,570 --> 00:04:33,321
- I'm Dang?
- Dang.

84
00:04:33,406 --> 00:04:36,240
- What...
- My name is Dang.

85
00:04:36,326 --> 00:04:38,660
Oh, my... I'm sorry. What,
uh, what can I do for you?

86
00:04:38,745 --> 00:04:41,996
I'm heading the design team that's
building the enclosure for the box.

87
00:04:42,082 --> 00:04:46,084
- It's time for the concept meeting.
- Concept meeting?

88
00:04:46,219 --> 00:04:50,254
Okay. I'm just going to
show you a few pictures,

89
00:04:50,340 --> 00:04:52,674
and you tell me which
ones you like, okay?

90
00:04:52,759 --> 00:04:54,509
Okay. Sure.

91
00:05:05,605 --> 00:05:07,522
Look, wait, hold on.

92
00:05:07,607 --> 00:05:09,691
I thought you were going to
show me pictures of boxes.

93
00:05:09,776 --> 00:05:12,744
- Like data storage devices.
- Before I can actualize a box,

94
00:05:12,829 --> 00:05:15,830
you and I need to develop a
shared aesthetic vocabulary.

95
00:05:15,949 --> 00:05:17,915
Otherwise, I have no idea
what you're going to want.

96
00:05:18,001 --> 00:05:21,202
Um, I have a lot of
work to do right now.

97
00:05:21,287 --> 00:05:23,671
This is work. This is my work.

98
00:05:23,790 --> 00:05:26,174
What we're doing here
could actually save time.

99
00:05:26,292 --> 00:05:29,711
- Okay. Sure. Yeah. Uh...
- Let's just make this simple.

100
00:05:29,796 --> 00:05:33,131
If the box were an animal, what
sort of animal would it be?

101
00:05:33,216 --> 00:05:35,099
Leopard?

102
00:05:35,185 --> 00:05:37,135
Butterfly? Rhinoceros?

103
00:05:37,220 --> 00:05:40,438
Stop. Animal? Um, it's a box.

104
00:05:40,523 --> 00:05:42,357
Right? Okay, so if you need an animal,

105
00:05:42,475 --> 00:05:45,193
make it a box turtle.
How does that sound?

106
00:05:45,311 --> 00:05:48,112
So this is all kind of a joke to you?

107
00:05:48,198 --> 00:05:52,450
You know what? I don't actually give a
flying fuck what this box looks like.

108
00:05:52,535 --> 00:05:54,952
Okay, if it was up to me, I wouldn't
even have it in the first place.

109
00:05:55,038 --> 00:06:00,324
So, look, here. This
is a black rectangle.

110
00:06:00,410 --> 00:06:03,077
Make it that. All right?
Because we're going to take it

111
00:06:03,163 --> 00:06:05,713
and put it in a hole in a
subbasement in a data center,

112
00:06:05,832 --> 00:06:10,501
where no one can see it except for a
sad man named John with a ponytail.

113
00:06:10,587 --> 00:06:13,054
Okay? Just make it a box.

114
00:06:13,173 --> 00:06:16,090
And please turn off that fucking music.

115
00:06:26,102 --> 00:06:28,352
Hello!

116
00:06:28,488 --> 00:06:30,405
It appears there has been a mistake.

117
00:06:30,523 --> 00:06:33,191
Is this not my parking space?

118
00:06:33,326 --> 00:06:36,277
Sorry, a lot of premium
spaces are being reassigned.

119
00:06:36,362 --> 00:06:39,831
14-A, you've been reassigned to lot D.

120
00:06:39,916 --> 00:06:42,083
Lot D?

121
00:06:42,202 --> 00:06:45,503
The structure?

122
00:06:45,588 --> 00:06:47,205
Beyond the freeway?

123
00:06:47,340 --> 00:06:50,091
Anywhere above level
three, those are reserved.

124
00:06:50,210 --> 00:06:52,293
There's a shuttle stop
on the ground level.

125
00:06:52,378 --> 00:06:54,212
A shuttle?

126
00:07:01,938 --> 00:07:04,639
Call Gavin Belson. Cell.

127
00:07:11,364 --> 00:07:14,198
Gavin : <i>Greetings,
friend, I'm not available right now.</i>

128
00:07:14,284 --> 00:07:16,067
<i>- Please leave a message after the beep.</i>

129
00:07:16,152 --> 00:07:18,653
<i>I'll get back to you as soon as I can.</i>

130
00:07:24,494 --> 00:07:26,077
What the fuck?
Why isn't this working?

131
00:07:26,162 --> 00:07:28,663
Gilfoyle's preprocessor
and my compressor

132
00:07:28,748 --> 00:07:33,334
should integrate seamlessly.
This should work.

133
00:07:33,419 --> 00:07:36,087
I may have made my preprocessor

134
00:07:36,222 --> 00:07:37,972
slightly faster than you
asked me to, Richard.

135
00:07:38,091 --> 00:07:40,591
What do you mean? How
much slightly faster?

136
00:07:40,727 --> 00:07:43,594
- 200 megs per second.
- You dick.

137
00:07:43,730 --> 00:07:45,897
That's eight times as fast
as the specs required.

138
00:07:45,982 --> 00:07:48,149
No wonder our modules aren't
running at the same speed.

139
00:07:48,268 --> 00:07:51,018
- Why would you do that?
- I tried to make it slow.

140
00:07:51,104 --> 00:07:53,654
I really did. But I'm not Dinesh.

141
00:07:53,773 --> 00:07:56,157
It's very difficult for
me to do shitty work.

142
00:07:56,276 --> 00:07:58,442
So I added a differencing library

143
00:07:58,578 --> 00:08:00,778
and then the whole thing
just took off like a rocket.

144
00:08:00,864 --> 00:08:04,782
Wait, so you're not processing
whole files, just the changes?

145
00:08:04,868 --> 00:08:07,752
- That's actually pretty cool.
- Yeah, I thought so too.

146
00:08:07,837 --> 00:08:09,537
That's why I wrote it.

147
00:08:09,622 --> 00:08:13,758
All right, well, I guess I
should just revert back.

148
00:08:13,843 --> 00:08:18,346
Right? Slow my preprocessor way down.

149
00:08:18,464 --> 00:08:21,883
Although, Richard, couldn't you
just rewrite the compressor

150
00:08:21,968 --> 00:08:24,385
to make it faster so it's compatible?

151
00:08:24,470 --> 00:08:27,555
I mean, these are minimum speeds, right?

152
00:08:27,640 --> 00:08:29,440
Just cause making the box sucks

153
00:08:29,526 --> 00:08:31,809
doesn't mean we have
to suck at making it.

154
00:08:31,895 --> 00:08:35,196
Yeah. Okay. Um, here's one idea.

155
00:08:35,315 --> 00:08:40,067
Uh, what if we actually move
upstream and connect the parser...

156
00:08:40,153 --> 00:08:44,038
directly to the
compressor seed functions.

157
00:08:44,958 --> 00:08:46,324
Okay.

158
00:08:46,459 --> 00:08:48,459
Well, then the whole
thing would really fly.

159
00:08:48,545 --> 00:08:51,212
Yeah. That would rock.

160
00:08:51,331 --> 00:08:54,882
Hey, Richard, do you have a sec? I have
a, uh, preliminary render for you.

161
00:08:58,087 --> 00:08:59,587
What is that?

162
00:08:59,672 --> 00:09:02,306
What do you mean? It's a box.

163
00:09:02,392 --> 00:09:04,660
That's not our box, is it?

164
00:09:04,836 --> 00:09:07,035
Yes. It's exactly what you asked me for.

165
00:09:07,146 --> 00:09:10,598
You drew a rectangle and said if it
was an animal, it'd be a box turtle.

166
00:09:10,683 --> 00:09:13,734
I mean, are you just going to do the
bare minimum and call it a day?

167
00:09:13,853 --> 00:09:15,018
Is that, like, what you do?

168
00:09:15,043 --> 00:09:17,545
You said it didn't matter,
you said you didn't care.

169
00:09:17,607 --> 00:09:19,690
No one's caring about this.
I'm just saying, like,

170
00:09:19,776 --> 00:09:21,609
it's just a matter of pride
and, like, self-respect.

171
00:09:21,694 --> 00:09:24,528
I mean, that's going to go in brochures,
man, that's like an advertisement

172
00:09:24,614 --> 00:09:26,030
to you and the company and everything.

173
00:09:26,115 --> 00:09:27,698
I can maybe add some color to it

174
00:09:27,834 --> 00:09:29,367
and give the bezel a little slam.

175
00:09:29,452 --> 00:09:31,202
There you go. Definitely, a slam.
Slam it.

176
00:09:31,287 --> 00:09:32,837
Yeah, maybe add some more lights.

177
00:09:32,922 --> 00:09:34,088
Sure. Yeah. Well, hey, uh,

178
00:09:34,207 --> 00:09:36,257
what are you doing standing
around here talking about it?

179
00:09:36,376 --> 00:09:38,292
You should go do it, you know.
Go and make the damn thing.

180
00:09:38,378 --> 00:09:39,961
Make it a jaguar 'cause I have a feeling

181
00:09:40,046 --> 00:09:41,462
this baby is going to purr.

182
00:09:41,547 --> 00:09:43,881
I don't care either, but, you know,

183
00:09:43,967 --> 00:09:45,549
I think maybe a gazelle is more like it.

184
00:09:45,635 --> 00:09:47,518
Cause it's synonymous with speed.

185
00:09:47,604 --> 00:09:50,104
Fuck that. A cheetah's faster.

186
00:09:50,223 --> 00:09:51,639
And it kills fucking gazelles.

187
00:09:51,724 --> 00:09:53,107
But I really don't fucking care.

188
00:09:53,226 --> 00:09:55,943
- But definitely cheetah.
- Or a gazelle.

189
00:09:56,062 --> 00:09:57,945
Also, don't throw away
the whole jaguar thing,

190
00:09:58,064 --> 00:09:59,897
- 'cause they're pretty quick too.
- Or a gazelle.

191
00:10:04,370 --> 00:10:06,203
Ah! Jared, Jesus fuck!
What are you doing?

192
00:10:06,289 --> 00:10:07,822
Sorry. I was...

193
00:10:07,907 --> 00:10:10,541
I was just taking a quiet
moment to collect myself.

194
00:10:10,627 --> 00:10:12,410
What the hell is all this shit?

195
00:10:12,545 --> 00:10:14,211
My tenant has been leaving my belongings

196
00:10:14,297 --> 00:10:15,746
in the alley behind my condo,

197
00:10:15,832 --> 00:10:17,298
to make more room for his tenants.

198
00:10:17,417 --> 00:10:19,917
- Your tenant has tenants?
- Yeah.

199
00:10:20,053 --> 00:10:23,888
He's Airbnbing my Airbnb.
So, if it's okay with you,

200
00:10:23,973 --> 00:10:26,474
I might need to stay a
little bit longer, um...

201
00:10:26,592 --> 00:10:29,644
I can go around the back to get
to the bathroom once Fred's here.

202
00:10:29,762 --> 00:10:33,597
- When's he moving in?
- Wouldn't we all like to know.

203
00:10:35,735 --> 00:10:39,603
Fred, Erlich Bachman. You said you'd
get back to me about the room.

204
00:10:39,689 --> 00:10:42,606
I don't mean to pressure you,
but I need you to decide now.

205
00:10:42,692 --> 00:10:44,608
In this moment, on this phone call.

206
00:10:44,694 --> 00:10:48,329
I am literally standing within
feet of three potential candidates

207
00:10:48,448 --> 00:10:51,666
whose selves I could
easily tell to go fuck...

208
00:10:51,784 --> 00:10:53,417
Good? What do you mean good?

209
00:10:53,503 --> 00:10:55,586
What does that mean, you're good?

210
00:10:55,672 --> 00:11:00,508
What? What other incubator? Where?
What is the address?

211
00:11:00,626 --> 00:11:04,128
Because I want to send
them a fucking nice gift.

212
00:11:14,774 --> 00:11:18,526
Fucking "Miami Vice,"
disgusting architecture!

213
00:11:22,815 --> 00:11:25,483
Hey, man. What are you doing here?

214
00:11:25,568 --> 00:11:27,151
What the fuck are you doing here?

215
00:11:27,236 --> 00:11:29,120
What do you mean? This is my house.

216
00:11:29,205 --> 00:11:30,488
Crazy, right?

217
00:11:30,623 --> 00:11:33,741
This place is huge.

218
00:11:35,128 --> 00:11:36,577
Did you want to...?

219
00:11:36,662 --> 00:11:39,630
Yes, it would be polite for you
to invite me into your home

220
00:11:39,716 --> 00:11:41,499
and offer me a Push Pop, yes.

221
00:11:41,584 --> 00:11:44,085
I'm sorry. You're telling me

222
00:11:44,170 --> 00:11:46,087
that we should spend less time together?

223
00:11:46,172 --> 00:11:47,671
Absolutely, Chela.

224
00:11:47,807 --> 00:11:51,175
Well, I have to say,
this is a big relief.

225
00:11:51,310 --> 00:11:53,978
In all candor, I was feeling the same,

226
00:11:54,063 --> 00:11:58,432
but I thought that discussing
it with you might be awkward.

227
00:11:58,518 --> 00:12:00,234
Not at all.

228
00:12:00,353 --> 00:12:03,154
You are ready, Chela,
to stand on your own,

229
00:12:03,239 --> 00:12:05,689
to weather the challenges of the future,

230
00:12:05,775 --> 00:12:10,494
and the rumors swirling
about your leadership.

231
00:12:12,165 --> 00:12:13,330
Be well, Gavin.

232
00:12:13,416 --> 00:12:16,784
I'm-- I'm sorry. Wait, what...
what rumors?

233
00:12:16,869 --> 00:12:19,787
There is talk that in the
face of a growing threat

234
00:12:19,872 --> 00:12:23,674
from Richard Hendricks and Pied
Piper, armed with a powerful new CEO,

235
00:12:23,760 --> 00:12:26,594
- that you have done nothing.
- Well, yes, but--

236
00:12:26,712 --> 00:12:31,382
That by shuttering Nucleus, you have
left them to gather strength unopposed,

237
00:12:31,467 --> 00:12:36,220
ceding the entire space. Some are saying
this is a show of great weakness.

238
00:12:36,305 --> 00:12:39,390
Who? Who exactly is saying this?

239
00:12:40,977 --> 00:12:43,360
Well, people talk.

240
00:12:43,446 --> 00:12:46,230
In the halls, in the cafeteria,
on the parking shuttle.

241
00:12:46,365 --> 00:12:49,533
Wait, should... should I
be worried about this?

242
00:12:51,571 --> 00:12:53,737
The beauty is...

243
00:12:53,873 --> 00:12:57,241
now you have all the answers.

244
00:12:58,411 --> 00:13:03,581
Yes? All right.

245
00:13:03,666 --> 00:13:06,834
Denpok, please.

246
00:13:06,919 --> 00:13:10,137
Will you sit back down?
I need your help.

247
00:13:10,256 --> 00:13:14,475
- Of course.
- Thank you.

248
00:13:16,012 --> 00:13:20,147
Clearly, we have come far,
but we still have far to go.

249
00:13:20,266 --> 00:13:23,767
Not as far as lot D,

250
00:13:23,853 --> 00:13:26,320
but far nonetheless.

251
00:13:27,523 --> 00:13:29,440
Look what you guys built.

252
00:13:29,525 --> 00:13:32,776
You can't help but be elegant,
you're like Audrey Hepburn.

253
00:13:32,912 --> 00:13:33,861
Ah, here they come.

254
00:13:33,946 --> 00:13:36,113
Well, I know we made a big deal

255
00:13:36,199 --> 00:13:39,416
about just doing your absolute
minimum of your specs,

256
00:13:39,502 --> 00:13:42,119
but one thing led to
another and, well, Jack,

257
00:13:42,205 --> 00:13:45,172
buckle your seatbelt because I'd
like to introduce you to...

258
00:13:45,291 --> 00:13:46,924
Richard, just save it.

259
00:13:47,009 --> 00:13:51,045
Just got off the phone with
Calvin Greene, CEO of Maleant.

260
00:13:51,130 --> 00:13:53,464
- They're pulling out.
- What?

261
00:13:53,599 --> 00:13:55,883
- How can they just pull out?
- Because they shopped our deal

262
00:13:55,968 --> 00:13:58,135
and got a better bid from
another appliance maker,

263
00:13:58,271 --> 00:14:00,638
so Maleant's out, they fucked us.

264
00:14:00,723 --> 00:14:02,022
- Oh.
- Yeah.

265
00:14:02,141 --> 00:14:04,892
So, probably we should just push pause

266
00:14:04,977 --> 00:14:09,313
on the whole box thing until we
figure out where to go from here.

267
00:14:09,398 --> 00:14:12,950
Okay. Uh, I... actually, I have a...
I have a question.

268
00:14:13,035 --> 00:14:16,070
Yeah, I know. I know. I know,
Richard, we had an arrangement,

269
00:14:16,155 --> 00:14:18,822
but that was all based on
closing the Maleant deal.

270
00:14:18,958 --> 00:14:21,041
- So now we have to figure out--
- No, no. Sorry, um...

271
00:14:21,160 --> 00:14:23,160
No, my question is, uh,
who did they go with?

272
00:14:23,296 --> 00:14:25,713
Whose box do they think is
that much better than ours?

273
00:14:25,831 --> 00:14:29,300
- Oh, uh, Dectosphere.
- Dectosphere?

274
00:14:29,385 --> 00:14:31,135
It's a brick with a power cord.

275
00:14:31,220 --> 00:14:34,338
Yeah. But I hear their new 43-11s,

276
00:14:34,473 --> 00:14:37,725
they're going to be hitting
close to 75 megs per second.

277
00:14:37,843 --> 00:14:40,344
Uh, we can do 200.

278
00:14:42,765 --> 00:14:43,682
What?

279
00:14:43,707 --> 00:14:46,457
Yeah. You think you can get me
in a room with Calvin Greene?

280
00:14:46,519 --> 00:14:49,069
This is the pool.
The first night I was here,

281
00:14:49,188 --> 00:14:50,604
I turned the heat, like, all the way up,

282
00:14:50,690 --> 00:14:53,657
and half the water evaporated overnight.
It's crazy.

283
00:14:53,743 --> 00:14:56,443
Well, I hope you own a skimmer
because there's a massive turd

284
00:14:56,529 --> 00:14:58,829
floating on the surface of your pool.

285
00:14:58,915 --> 00:15:01,999
Who, Fred? Fred's great, man.

286
00:15:02,084 --> 00:15:04,785
He's got this really cool, um,
malware cataloguing thing--

287
00:15:04,870 --> 00:15:07,871
Cut the shit, Big Head. I see
exactly what you're doing.

288
00:15:07,957 --> 00:15:10,874
Poaching my tenants? You
stole my business model.

289
00:15:11,010 --> 00:15:13,260
What? No. Dude, it's
not like that at all.

290
00:15:13,379 --> 00:15:16,013
It's just this house has,
like, nine bedrooms.

291
00:15:16,098 --> 00:15:17,715
You have any idea how
scary that gets at night?

292
00:15:17,800 --> 00:15:19,800
So I just wanted to have
some roommates around,

293
00:15:19,885 --> 00:15:23,470
but, um, you know, I felt weird
charging them rent, cause, you know.

294
00:15:23,556 --> 00:15:24,972
No, I don't.

295
00:15:25,057 --> 00:15:27,858
Well, it's like, 20 million, you
know, so I don't really need it,

296
00:15:27,944 --> 00:15:31,395
but then they felt weird living
here without paying me anything,

297
00:15:31,480 --> 00:15:33,697
so they offered me pieces of
their startups. That's all.

298
00:15:33,783 --> 00:15:37,701
You just admitted to starting
a competing incubator.

299
00:15:37,787 --> 00:15:40,738
I've caught you in a web of
your own lies, haven't I?

300
00:15:40,823 --> 00:15:43,490
I don't think so. Wait, have you?

301
00:15:43,576 --> 00:15:45,576
All right, Big Head. You
want to play it that way?

302
00:15:45,661 --> 00:15:48,579
If it's a fight you want,
then a fight you shall have.

303
00:15:48,714 --> 00:15:51,248
All of you!

304
00:15:52,418 --> 00:15:54,251
See you, buddy.

305
00:15:58,090 --> 00:16:00,174
Big Head.

306
00:16:12,355 --> 00:16:13,604
Fuck!

307
00:16:13,739 --> 00:16:16,156
What are we doing here?

308
00:16:16,275 --> 00:16:17,775
Why are we fighting like this?

309
00:16:17,860 --> 00:16:19,493
I mean, I'm going to steal your guys,

310
00:16:19,612 --> 00:16:21,111
you're gonna steal my guys.

311
00:16:21,247 --> 00:16:23,664
We'll both wield the heft of
our considerable fortunes

312
00:16:23,783 --> 00:16:26,116
until each of us have
nearly nothing left.

313
00:16:26,252 --> 00:16:28,452
Is that really what you want? Me either.

314
00:16:28,537 --> 00:16:31,455
So what do you say we join forces?

315
00:16:31,590 --> 00:16:32,873
I'm big enough.

316
00:16:32,958 --> 00:16:38,846
Are you, Big Head? Partners?

317
00:16:38,964 --> 00:16:40,964
- Okay.
- Attaboy.

318
00:16:41,050 --> 00:16:43,467
All right, I'm going to take a spin
on that fancy Japanese toilet,

319
00:16:43,552 --> 00:16:46,854
and then let's get to work figuring
out which one of these bedrooms

320
00:16:46,972 --> 00:16:49,223
is going to be my office.

321
00:16:50,693 --> 00:16:55,029
Consider the bulldog.
A grotesque monstrosity

322
00:16:55,147 --> 00:16:56,947
born of relentless inbreeding.

323
00:16:57,033 --> 00:17:01,068
Riddled with sinusitis,
crippled by joint pain.

324
00:17:01,153 --> 00:17:04,405
Chronically flatulent.

325
00:17:04,490 --> 00:17:09,126
A kindly pet, or humanity's
cruelest mistake?

326
00:17:10,129 --> 00:17:13,797
All right, take it away.

327
00:17:13,883 --> 00:17:17,000
Ladies and gentlemen, just
like that horrible creature,

328
00:17:17,086 --> 00:17:20,337
the entire Nucleus program was
the result of inbreeding.

329
00:17:20,423 --> 00:17:24,641
We mated Hooli engineers with Hooli
designers in a Hooli kennel.

330
00:17:24,727 --> 00:17:29,847
Is it any wonder the result was
just as unspeakable as that thing?

331
00:17:29,982 --> 00:17:31,348
Bring it back here.

332
00:17:31,434 --> 00:17:35,018
Look at that hideous face.

333
00:17:35,104 --> 00:17:37,237
All right, get it out of here!

334
00:17:38,357 --> 00:17:40,274
I'm sorry, Gavin. What's your point?

335
00:17:40,359 --> 00:17:44,027
My point is just as not all dogs
are as flawed as the bulldog,

336
00:17:44,163 --> 00:17:47,614
not all compression plays
are as flawed as Nucleus.

337
00:17:47,700 --> 00:17:51,368
Our execution was lacking,
but the idea was correct.

338
00:17:51,504 --> 00:17:54,037
Our only mistake was looking inward.

339
00:17:54,123 --> 00:17:57,508
It is now time to look outward.

340
00:18:01,347 --> 00:18:03,714
I mean, this guy did all of the work.

341
00:18:03,799 --> 00:18:06,216
Ten minutes after we leave
Calvin Greene's office,

342
00:18:06,302 --> 00:18:08,886
he calls me up and says,
"Hey, you got me. How much?"

343
00:18:09,021 --> 00:18:12,890
I just showed them the box,
Jack's the one who made the deal.

344
00:18:13,025 --> 00:18:15,192
Good feelings, happy feelings.

345
00:18:15,277 --> 00:18:20,531
So Big Head built a better version
of your incubator, accidentally.

346
00:18:20,616 --> 00:18:23,283
- Correct.
- And he didn't even realize it?

347
00:18:23,973 --> 00:18:25,143
Also correct.

348
00:18:25,231 --> 00:18:28,430
And your solution to that was
to go into business with him?

349
00:18:28,541 --> 00:18:31,742
Big Head? The guy you
once called more useless

350
00:18:31,827 --> 00:18:33,827
than a bag of dicks without a handle?

351
00:18:33,913 --> 00:18:37,080
Dinesh, don't fall for his
"aw, shucks" routine.

352
00:18:37,166 --> 00:18:38,999
He is a shrewd businessman.

353
00:18:39,084 --> 00:18:41,969
And together, we have over 20 million

354
00:18:42,087 --> 00:18:45,172
and 36,000 dollars at our disposal.

355
00:18:45,257 --> 00:18:50,010
Now, if you'll excuse
me, on to Pied Piper.

356
00:18:50,095 --> 00:18:56,600
I have a board meeting, and this board
ain't exactly gonna meet itself.

357
00:18:56,685 --> 00:18:58,101
Our subsequent order of business

358
00:18:58,187 --> 00:19:00,187
is the approval of Pied Piper's redraft

359
00:19:00,272 --> 00:19:02,606
of the hardware requisition agreement

360
00:19:02,741 --> 00:19:04,441
with Maleant Data Systems Solutions.

361
00:19:04,527 --> 00:19:07,327
- Ah, yeah.
- The main event.

362
00:19:07,446 --> 00:19:11,165
We've all read the latest
sales agreement, yes?

363
00:19:11,283 --> 00:19:13,033
Actually, I don't think I was CC'd on--

364
00:19:13,118 --> 00:19:15,252
So I believe we can move
straightforward to a vote?

365
00:19:15,337 --> 00:19:18,121
Actually, I'm sorry. I
have an issue with, uh,

366
00:19:18,257 --> 00:19:19,840
section 14, paragraph two.

367
00:19:19,959 --> 00:19:23,126
Um, it states that Maleant
has exclusive rights

368
00:19:23,212 --> 00:19:26,630
to purchase any appliance made by
Pied Piper for the next five years.

369
00:19:26,715 --> 00:19:29,299
Oh, uh, yeah. Jack gave them
exclusive rights to the box

370
00:19:29,385 --> 00:19:31,268
so that we would get a
better price upfront.

371
00:19:31,353 --> 00:19:33,353
Right, but this language is far broader.

372
00:19:33,472 --> 00:19:37,441
They actually have exclusive rights to use
the underlying algorithm in any form.

373
00:19:37,526 --> 00:19:39,109
Oh, no. That's not right at all.

374
00:19:39,195 --> 00:19:41,478
Yeah, so I think, Jack, we're
going to have to go back to them

375
00:19:41,614 --> 00:19:42,813
and just change the language here.

376
00:19:42,898 --> 00:19:46,233
We're not going to be able to do that.

377
00:19:49,121 --> 00:19:50,904
And, uh, why not?

378
00:19:50,990 --> 00:19:54,708
Because that was the specific
language which Maleant requested

379
00:19:54,827 --> 00:19:59,630
when I got them to pay three times
as much for each one of our boxes.

380
00:19:59,715 --> 00:20:02,499
It's a white label deal,
so they have the right

381
00:20:02,585 --> 00:20:04,835
to resell these boxes in
any form they choose.

382
00:20:04,970 --> 00:20:08,222
Yeah, but Jack, if they have
exclusive rights to the algorithm,

383
00:20:08,340 --> 00:20:10,841
then we can't use the algorithm
to build the platform.

384
00:20:10,926 --> 00:20:14,144
For five years. They wanted
seven, I talked them down.

385
00:20:14,230 --> 00:20:17,097
I know, but you said that we could build
the platform once we gave you the box.

386
00:20:17,182 --> 00:20:20,484
Yes, but I never specified a timeframe.

387
00:20:20,569 --> 00:20:21,902
Are you serious?

388
00:20:22,021 --> 00:20:24,571
I save your ass and you stab
me in the back like this?

389
00:20:24,690 --> 00:20:27,157
- In the front, Richard.
- Laurie, did you know about this?

390
00:20:27,243 --> 00:20:30,110
- I did not.
- Well, then, good, okay.

391
00:20:30,195 --> 00:20:33,030
So it won't go through, because
Laurie's not going to vote for it.

392
00:20:33,115 --> 00:20:37,834
Richard, this is complicated.

393
00:20:37,920 --> 00:20:41,421
If one goes strictly by the
numbers, these numbers,

394
00:20:41,540 --> 00:20:45,425
you have built a box
that is so valuable,

395
00:20:45,544 --> 00:20:48,545
I am now obligated to
vote in favor of it.

396
00:20:48,631 --> 00:20:52,466
Laurie, this deal is peanuts.
The platform could be worth

397
00:20:52,551 --> 00:20:54,635
a thousand times what the box is worth.

398
00:20:54,720 --> 00:20:57,271
It could be, correct, however--

399
00:20:57,389 --> 00:21:00,307
This is theoretical, Richard.

400
00:21:00,392 --> 00:21:02,109
You don't have a price point, I do,

401
00:21:02,227 --> 00:21:05,562
and she has a fiduciary obligation
as a member of the board

402
00:21:05,648 --> 00:21:08,282
to vote for the box. On the page,

403
00:21:08,400 --> 00:21:11,285
this is in the best interest of
the company. Am I wrong, Laurie?

404
00:21:11,403 --> 00:21:13,737
That is factually correct.

405
00:21:13,872 --> 00:21:17,741
You remember when you tried to
end run me and kill the box?

406
00:21:17,876 --> 00:21:20,043
Well, she couldn't do a
goddamn thing about it then.

407
00:21:20,129 --> 00:21:24,214
And she can't do a goddamn
thing about it now.

408
00:21:24,300 --> 00:21:27,301
Simple majority ratifies the
agreement, all in favor.

409
00:21:27,419 --> 00:21:31,421
Are you kidding me? What the
fuck is going on right now?

410
00:21:31,507 --> 00:21:32,508
Laurie.

411
00:21:32,533 --> 00:21:35,534
I wasn't carbon copied on
this particular email,

412
00:21:35,594 --> 00:21:38,428
so I stand with Richard.

413
00:21:38,564 --> 00:21:41,898
Um, Richard,

414
00:21:41,984 --> 00:21:45,435
you know how I voted to fire
you a couple months ago?

415
00:21:45,571 --> 00:21:47,404
And I said that I did
it to stay in the game

416
00:21:47,489 --> 00:21:49,072
so that maybe at some
point in the future,

417
00:21:49,158 --> 00:21:51,608
I could do something to help?

418
00:21:51,694 --> 00:21:53,777
Well, Laurie,

419
00:21:53,912 --> 00:21:57,280
I know you'll probably
replace me on the board

420
00:21:57,366 --> 00:21:58,915
and call for a revote tomorrow,

421
00:21:59,001 --> 00:22:01,118
but I'm here today.

422
00:22:01,253 --> 00:22:04,504
And I don't have any
metrics to back it up,

423
00:22:04,623 --> 00:22:07,924
but I honestly believe that the
platform that Richard wants to build

424
00:22:08,010 --> 00:22:11,595
will be far more lucrative in
the long term than any box.

425
00:22:11,680 --> 00:22:17,267
So, at least for today, I'm voting no.

426
00:22:18,270 --> 00:22:19,803
Motion denied.

427
00:22:25,194 --> 00:22:28,562
We will be reconvening tomorrow.

428
00:22:28,647 --> 00:22:34,151
And if I could get a, uh, an email,
be CC'd on the latest draft...

429
00:22:35,871 --> 00:22:37,788
I couldn't sit there and
watch them do that to you.

430
00:22:37,873 --> 00:22:40,490
I just hope I don't end
up fired over this.

431
00:22:40,626 --> 00:22:42,876
Well, what you did took incredible guts.

432
00:22:42,995 --> 00:22:45,495
And the fact that it probably
won't make any difference

433
00:22:45,631 --> 00:22:48,048
makes it all the more meaningful.

434
00:22:48,167 --> 00:22:52,169
Right, I saw this nature documentary
where a bison fought a lion

435
00:22:52,254 --> 00:22:55,839
to protect the rest of the herd.
And it was so moving.

436
00:22:55,974 --> 00:22:59,509
Um, it didn't work, the lion,
uh, tore into the bison

437
00:22:59,645 --> 00:23:03,096
and then laid waste to the
herd, but what courage.

438
00:23:03,182 --> 00:23:05,399
Thank you, Jared.

439
00:23:05,517 --> 00:23:08,485
You guys just had to make
a great box, didn't you?

440
00:23:08,570 --> 00:23:11,188
You couldn't phone it in.

441
00:23:11,273 --> 00:23:15,826
Uh, guys, Gavin Belson is calling me.
Again.

442
00:23:15,911 --> 00:23:18,862
- What the fuck does he want?
- Hello?

443
00:23:18,947 --> 00:23:22,699
Richard Hendricks, just checking
in, seeing if you heard the news.

444
00:23:22,785 --> 00:23:25,836
- What news?
- Mm.

445
00:23:25,921 --> 00:23:28,839
Obviously, you don't have your
Hooli news alerts up to date.

446
00:23:28,924 --> 00:23:31,091
Go to the site. I'll wait.

447
00:23:32,795 --> 00:23:36,346
- Go to the Hooli news website.
- Okay.

448
00:23:39,718 --> 00:23:42,135
It's an ad.

449
00:23:42,221 --> 00:23:43,970
Um, it's an ad. Hold on.

450
00:23:44,056 --> 00:23:46,056
Just wait four seconds, and
you can click to skip it.

451
00:23:46,191 --> 00:23:48,642
Just wait four seconds and
then you can click it.

452
00:23:48,727 --> 00:23:51,228
No, it's the kind where you have
to watch the whole fucking thing.

453
00:23:51,313 --> 00:23:52,729
It's the whole ad kind.

454
00:23:52,865 --> 00:23:55,949
I thought we stopped doing those.
Goddamn it.

455
00:23:56,068 --> 00:23:58,819
Well, regardless, what you'll see
once the paid announcement is over,

456
00:23:58,904 --> 00:24:03,657
is that I just closed a
250 million dollar deal

457
00:24:03,742 --> 00:24:06,543
to acquire a little
company called Endframe.

458
00:24:06,628 --> 00:24:10,914
I thought you'd want to know.
Update those Hooli news alerts.

459
00:24:10,999 --> 00:24:12,666
Also, I invite you to click yes,

460
00:24:12,751 --> 00:24:17,504
if our ad experience was relevant to you.
Be well, Richard.

461
00:24:17,589 --> 00:24:19,005
What did he say?

462
00:24:19,091 --> 00:24:20,807
Oh, my God.

463
00:24:20,926 --> 00:24:24,060
"Gavin Belson announces
deal to acquire Endframe,

464
00:24:24,146 --> 00:24:29,599
"a middle-out compression platform
company, for 250 million dollars."

465
00:24:29,685 --> 00:24:32,936
Even after they shit
the bed with Nucleus,

466
00:24:33,071 --> 00:24:35,605
Hooli gets to build our
platform and we don't?

467
00:24:39,945 --> 00:24:42,696
- What is funny about this?
- He's intoxicated.

468
00:24:42,781 --> 00:24:45,949
No. No... yes, but don't you see?

469
00:24:46,034 --> 00:24:49,536
Gavin, in trying to fuck
us, just saved our asses.

470
00:24:49,621 --> 00:24:54,424
He's right. He's right.

471
00:24:54,510 --> 00:24:58,011
My gosh. Oh, my gosh, he's right.

472
00:24:58,130 --> 00:25:01,515
- Holy shit.
- I am so confused right now.

473
00:25:01,633 --> 00:25:04,301
Gavin set a p--

474
00:25:04,436 --> 00:25:07,270
- He set the--
- The price point.

475
00:25:07,356 --> 00:25:09,306
- Yes.
- Yes, yes, yes.

476
00:25:09,391 --> 00:25:13,393
Yes, thanks to Gavin, Endframe, a
middle-out compression platform,

477
00:25:13,478 --> 00:25:16,029
is objectively worth
250 million dollars.

478
00:25:16,148 --> 00:25:20,367
Wait, okay. We are a middle-out
compression platform company.

479
00:25:20,485 --> 00:25:23,737
Are we worth 250 million dollars?

480
00:25:23,822 --> 00:25:25,822
There's no way the box makes
us worth a fraction of that.

481
00:25:25,908 --> 00:25:27,541
Laurie couldn't vote for the platform

482
00:25:27,659 --> 00:25:29,910
because she couldn't assign
a dollar value to it.

483
00:25:29,995 --> 00:25:32,045
Well, Gavin has just done that.

484
00:25:32,164 --> 00:25:33,713
He's validated the market so there's...

485
00:25:33,832 --> 00:25:36,466
there's no reason to revote. We win.

486
00:25:36,552 --> 00:25:40,170
I can't wait to see the look
on that AAR prick's face

487
00:25:40,305 --> 00:25:44,891
when we come in there and gut him like a--

488
00:25:45,010 --> 00:25:47,811
- Is he okay?
- He's going to be fine.

489
00:25:47,896 --> 00:25:50,263
Welcome, men and ladies of Endframe.

490
00:25:50,349 --> 00:25:53,233
Rather than incestuously promoting
the same faces from within,

491
00:25:53,352 --> 00:25:59,356
you represent fresh blood, new ideas.
Everything Nucleus was not.

492
00:25:59,491 --> 00:26:05,362
It is my honor to personally
welcome you all to Hooli.

493
00:26:07,282 --> 00:26:08,999
Does he really not remember us?

494
00:26:09,084 --> 00:26:12,035
How long did you work at Hooli?
The last time?

495
00:26:12,170 --> 00:26:13,753
Seven years.

496
00:26:13,872 --> 00:26:17,674
I was here for nine. He was
invited to my wedding.

497
00:26:19,211 --> 00:26:22,045
I hope Jack doesn't cry.

498
00:26:22,180 --> 00:26:24,214
I really hope he does.

499
00:26:26,518 --> 00:26:30,220
Hey, Gloria. Lynn.

500
00:26:30,355 --> 00:26:34,107
- Did they both get fired?
- I don't...

501
00:26:34,226 --> 00:26:37,444
Laurie. What are you doing here?
Where's Jack?

502
00:26:37,562 --> 00:26:42,449
Uh, as you may recall, at our
board meeting last night,

503
00:26:42,567 --> 00:26:46,486
Jack said that he would get his
way, and that, in his words,

504
00:26:46,571 --> 00:26:51,074
I, quote, "couldn't do a goddamn
thing about it," end quote.

505
00:26:51,159 --> 00:26:55,295
Well, in light of recent activities,

506
00:26:55,414 --> 00:26:57,914
it appears that I could do
a goddamn thing about it.

507
00:26:58,050 --> 00:27:01,468
And I just did. Jack
Barker has been exited.

508
00:27:01,586 --> 00:27:05,221
- Fuck me sideways.
- Indeed.

509
00:27:05,307 --> 00:27:06,723
Effective immediately,

510
00:27:06,808 --> 00:27:10,176
you are all at liberty to
commence work upon the platform.

511
00:27:10,262 --> 00:27:13,563
Okay. Wow.

512
00:27:13,649 --> 00:27:17,100
Yeah, uh, uh, I just got to ask, um,

513
00:27:17,185 --> 00:27:20,937
with Jack not being CEO
anymore, am I CEO again?

514
00:27:21,023 --> 00:27:23,273
You are not.

515
00:27:23,408 --> 00:27:25,408
Nor are you, Mr. Bachman.

516
00:27:25,494 --> 00:27:27,744
I'm sorry, if I'm not CEO,
Erlich isn't, Jack isn't,

517
00:27:27,829 --> 00:27:29,496
who is going to run Pied Piper then?

518
00:27:29,614 --> 00:27:34,284
Officially, and until further notice,

519
00:27:34,369 --> 00:27:37,003
this chair will remain empty.

520
00:27:37,122 --> 00:27:39,589
- Really?
- Excuse me.
