01:19What kind of German machinery
01:21Is this fucking thing?
01:23What is that, a Cadillac?
01:28Hi
01:31Sorry
01:31Um, strategy confab at 10 o'clock
01:35No?
01:36Thank you for fucking up the verisimilitude
01:43Are you playing, Wordle?
01:45No
01:55No
01:56No
02:11Duncan
02:13What are you doing here?
02:14I just came to talk business
02:16And I got you a little present
02:18I don't care for business at home
02:20Can we set a call?
02:22Oh, come on
02:22Better mono your mono, you know?
02:24And just open it
02:25Open, open, open, open, open
02:27Open, open, open, open, open, open
02:29It's a truffle
02:32For my favorite truffle pig
02:34You seem to be taking the news well
02:35What, what am I taking well?
02:40Don't you know?
02:40Uh, I don't know what...
02:43I don't know
02:44I don't know
02:45Karl Bardoff
02:46He's tapped me to be the CEO
02:51It's fabulous
02:52I mean, CEO of what?
02:56Hypnosis, Duncan
02:57That's the name of my company
03:00I didn't ask for the job
03:02Karl came to me
03:04Okay
03:05I get it now
03:06He's using you to get to me
03:08I don't think that's what this is
03:09Yeah, I'm sorry it is
03:10It is
03:10I'm in the midst of realigning the company's mission
03:12Jesus, I was gone for a few days
03:14And now you have a mission?
03:15You had a breakdown and fled
03:17I did not have a breakdown
03:19At any rate
03:20Karl's put his full faith in me
03:22I intend to lead hypnosis and earn that trust
03:25Okay
03:26I mean, okay
03:28Okay
03:29Okay, yeah, okay
03:30Stop saying okay
03:31Okay
03:32How about
03:34We
03:37Share the chair
03:39Then we could do one of those
03:40What do you call it? You know, a bradgelina?
03:42You like the sound of
03:43Dushka?
03:46Okay
03:47You're holding out for
03:48A nunkin?
03:50Fine
03:51The point is
03:53Power couple
03:55I won't deny it
03:56I'm like super hurt
03:57Because you tried to destroy me with an end of peace
03:58And I'm still kind of hurting now
04:00But then I learned
04:00We hurt others because we care
04:02We hurt because
04:04We love
04:06Yeah
04:07So I came here
04:12Because I asked Lily for a divorce
04:14No you didn't
04:15Yeah, it was a good conversation
04:16Did you?
04:17Yeah, she took it
04:18Well, the thing is
04:19I want to be with you
04:20I want to be
04:20Really, really
04:22With
04:23You
04:25You know, it's not just about the CEO thing
04:27Would be nice
04:28But
04:29Oh, come on
04:30You feel the same
04:30You know it
04:32I'm afraid
04:33I do not feel the same way
04:36Same in your own way
04:37Duncan
04:38Please
04:39Martin's right there
04:40There's nothing to hide
04:41Be quiet
04:41Those of us with a modicum of shame
04:43Have a great deal to hide
04:44Come on
04:45Noosh
04:46Come on, you want me
04:48Like I want to eat
04:50A can of frosting
04:53A three quarters can
04:55Of cake frosting
04:56That I found at the back of my fridge
04:58That's hard and crusty at the top
05:01Sounds yummy
05:02Mmm, first bite maybe
05:05But the rest is self-hatred
05:09I don't wish
05:10To share a chair with you
05:12Or an office
05:13Or a company
05:14Or a bed
05:16Come on, Anoush
05:23Otherwise, it's
05:26It's war
05:28I think it already is war
05:33You think you're winning?
05:35You think you're winning?
05:36Wow
05:37I came to apologize
05:41Offer you my love
05:43My talent
05:44And you
05:46Shit on it
05:47Like I'm a sidewalk
05:50I bought you
05:51A $4,000
05:54truffle
05:56And you're
05:58Not a fun guy
06:01No
06:02I was at home
06:13I can't see
06:14I can't see
06:45Hey, uh, you got a minute?
06:47Uh, Max patient just arrived.
06:49Yeah, mine did too.
06:50Okay, so maybe later.
06:52Yeah, real quick.
06:53Your 401k, there's what, like $800,000 in there?
06:56Uh, yeah.
06:57Why?
06:58Well, if we cashed, say, $700 now, the tax hit would be significant, but we'd clear, what,
07:03like $400?
07:04No, that's our security.
07:05This house could be our security, and it is going to sell by the end of the week!
07:11Wait, so you tell me that your plan now is to cash out our old age pennies on the dollar
07:17for overpriced real estate?
07:19Wait, look, we only need 20% down, Gary!
07:23Okay, unless my math is totally off, $400,000 is nowhere near 20%.
07:29You're missing, like, a million and change.
07:31Well, I, I, uh, I have access, a plan to access.
07:36A million dollars, pray tell.
07:39The plan?
07:40Mm-hmm.
07:40It's, uh, uh, a financial instrument, a sort of, uh, advanced second mortgage introductory
07:46rate asset swap.
07:48But, you know, never mind.
07:50Play it safe.
07:52Lose our home.
07:54Our offices.
07:55Safe.
08:00Last time I, I saw her, we had sex.
08:03Did I do it wrong?
08:05That seems unlikely.
08:08Yeah.
08:09I don't know, but it's like, to go from, God, that was so hot, and then to take your job.
08:18So, she's a new CEO?
08:20Is she, have they made an announcement?
08:23I see what you're doing.
08:24Just stick to my psychology.
08:26You know, you can make your next million tomorrow on someone else's insider information.
08:30I wasn't.
08:31Just, where was I?
08:32It was, um, right, my childhood.
08:34When I was young, we kind of grew up poor.
08:39Really?
08:40And dad immigrated here, you know, we lived in a house that smelled like cabbage, kind
08:44of like this one.
08:45And, you know, in the winter, I would have to wear this, this hat that my baba sent me,
08:51this Serbian hat.
08:53It was kind of like a furry, black hat.
08:57Like, uh, a fuzzy dunce cat.
09:02And on the playground, there was this kid.
09:06And he grabbed my hat, and he ran off.
09:13And everyone laughed at me.
09:15And your old side piece stole your hat?
09:18Yes.
09:19I let my guard down, and she distracted me with sex.
09:23And now she has my hat, which she's wearing, like, like as if her baba sent it.
09:28She stole that hat.
09:31And I can't let her keep it.
09:34That's my hat.
09:35Unless I blow up her car with a car bomb, then no one gets that.
09:41Duncan, buy a new hat.
09:43You can afford any hat you want.
09:47That's what money does.
09:48It's not sexy, it's security.
09:51Because nobody can say, get out of the sandbox, if you own the sandbox.
10:02What's up?
10:23Here's your hat.
10:24Get out of the box.
10:42Hello.
10:46I have a vision for hypnosis.
10:49New direction, new mandate,
10:51and perhaps the beginning of a new approach to data.
10:55Responsible, trusted, ethical.
11:00I saw something recently that inspired me.
11:03I was attempting to speak with a gentleman in our engineering corps,
11:06but they were preoccupied to the point of mania
11:08with what I believe is called a supercut
11:10of drivers in the new self-driving tour in San Antonio.
11:14While the car was busy self-driving,
11:18the drivers were busy self-pleasuring.
11:22All the footage was filmed by their own driver-side cameras,
11:26which the Torin user agreement assures buyers
11:28will solely be used for driver safety.
11:31Yes, quite so.
11:32And for those of you bursting with overweening pride,
11:35having never wanked whilst going 80 on the 210,
11:37I assure you,
11:38there were also compilations of deep-dive nose pickers,
11:42ugly criers, finger sniffers,
11:44parents yelling obscenities at their children.
11:47It's something for and of everyone.
11:50And sadly,
11:52Torin's definition of words like safety and privacy
11:54are industry standard.
11:56Data collection is a mutual agreement
11:58to surrender privacy for service.
12:00We all know that.
12:01Well, we do, but we work in this business.
12:03We know to reject all the tricks they use to track us.
12:09You must be joking.
12:11You do reject all non-essential cookies, right?
12:14Always.
12:15No?
12:17My God.
12:19Who with half a brain wants to live under surveillance by their car?
12:22Their television, toothbrush, refrigerator,
12:26fucking smart light bulbs.
12:28I'm sorry.
12:29Human dignity requires privacy.
12:32Can I just ask if we're dialing back what we do?
12:36When do you want to go back to?
12:38Harley, I don't wish to...
12:39Harper.
12:40CTO.
12:43Harper.
12:45I don't wish to go back.
12:47What about 15 years ago?
12:49Yes.
12:50There was a fork in the road.
12:52And it would seem to me we took the wrong turn.
12:54Now,
12:55first client I'd like to see is this touring car company.
13:03I appreciate it.
13:05Jesus.
13:11Oh,
13:12I mean,
13:13I knew it'd be hard.
13:14It's always been hard,
13:15but I thought that this time
13:18would be different.
13:20Maybe this isn't the moment,
13:21but
13:22I don't think there's ever going to be a good one.
13:25Oh,
13:26shit.
13:29Look at that face.
13:30That is a nervous,
13:32if beautiful man.
13:34We,
13:35uh,
13:36want to do this over a drink?
13:37I think you're good.
13:39Yeah.
13:40Okay.
13:41I got an offer.
13:42A guy I knew at Yale.
13:44It's a defense company.
13:46They do
13:47AISMR,
13:48which turns out is not sexy whispering.
13:51It's surveillance,
13:53military reconnaissance.
13:54They're paying,
13:54they got money
13:55to seal the
13:57deal with Voorhees.
13:59Actually,
14:02DOD money,
14:03three billion.
14:05Oh,
14:07you are finding all new ways
14:09to break my heart.
14:10I'm still
14:10and always will be your friend.
14:13I don't need a friend.
14:15I need a vendor
14:17who'll take
14:18our goddamn money
14:20and help some goddamn people
14:21before the money vanishes
14:23and I've done no fucking good whatsoever.
14:27Maybe I can do some good
14:28from the inside.
14:32Yeah,
14:33I know.
14:36You
14:37will be compromised,
14:40corrupted,
14:40and become complacent.
14:42You know how I know that?
14:45Because you are leaving
14:47and you're going there.
14:49You're going there.
14:50So the only move
14:52worthy of your respect
14:53is to stick it out
14:53for another 30 years of
14:55of this.
14:59of this.
15:28Hey,
15:33I've been thinking about
15:34what you said
15:35about the
15:37big D
15:38and
15:40I just want to say
15:41that
15:42if you're going to leave me,
15:45now was a horrible time
15:46to do it
15:48for you.
15:49Lily,
15:50you deserve half
15:51of a lot more
15:52than where we're at
15:53right now.
15:54Financially.
15:55I couldn't have gotten
15:56any of it
15:57without you by my side.
15:58Really.
15:58Seriously.
15:58And you deserve better.
16:00You do.
16:01Give me a chance
16:02to rebuild.
16:03Hypernosis
16:04without me now
16:04is doing like
16:05ethical data
16:05which is like
16:06virtuous sex trafficking
16:07and I'm going to zag.
16:09Not sure how yet
16:10but give me a few months
16:12to try.
16:13After that
16:14then you can leave
16:15and I will be crushed
16:17but at least
16:18I will know
16:18that you got
16:19everything you ought to get.
16:23And
16:25in the meantime
16:25I mean
16:26maybe we can
16:29try to fix things.
16:30We can do
16:31what other people do.
16:32We're not doing
16:32marriage counseling.
16:33Sex therapist?
16:34You're a marriage counselor.
16:35We can do that.
16:36Well for starters
16:37I want you to never see
16:38Anushka again.
16:38I don't even want
16:39to hear her name.
16:40Listen,
16:40I want nothing
16:41to do with her.
16:42Nothing
16:42other than
16:43maybe destroy her
16:44but
16:47I literally
16:48might have to
16:49see her though
16:49like
16:50at school functions
16:51board meetings.
16:52Just don't ever
16:52be alone
16:53with her.
16:55Okay.
16:56Ever
16:57again.
16:58Deal.
16:59Deal.
16:59The easiest deal
17:00I've ever made.
17:01I give that to you
17:02happily.
17:05Tell me what else
17:06you want.
17:07Anything else?
17:08What do you want?
17:12I'll let you know.
17:22See you Thursday.
17:25Okay.
17:28Okay.
17:32See you Thursday.
17:32See you Thursday.
17:32See you Thursday.
17:55fair sexist faces are always talking, even when they're not.
17:59Look particularly at her pupils.
18:01If they're dilated, it means she wants to see more of you.
18:04She's interested in you, bro.
18:06Ear lopes.
18:06If she's flushed, she's good to go.
18:09You can take her out for dinner later.
18:17So what is your deal, bro?
18:21I live here.
18:22You're not supposed to be down here.
18:24You want me to leave?
18:27I didn't say that.
18:30So what do you do down here?
18:32Other than getting swole.
18:35You're not.
18:36That was a joke.
18:38So.
18:40You listening on your mom and dad's patience?
18:42Step, dads.
18:44Do you?
18:47I would.
18:51I used to, when I was bored.
18:56You ever listen to me?
19:01Maybe.
19:02Once.
19:05It, uh, it was, it was, it was one time.
19:07It was less than a minute, too.
19:09I didn't.
19:11In there?
19:14Yeah.
19:15They put the lock on for security.
19:18They never knew.
19:19So, even if I wanted to go back in, I don't even know the combo.
19:35My husband's company, Mixi, is being acquired by a big pharma-holding entity.
19:42Carol, that's terrific.
19:45His, his stress levels were really affecting your stress levels.
19:50That can be tough.
19:52Hopefully it all levels out after this deal is closed.
19:55How long do you think?
19:56And, uh, who's it with?
19:58This week?
19:59Apparently.
20:01I'm not supposed to say who it's with.
20:04Oh, yeah, of course.
20:10Univy.
20:11Oh, sure.
20:13Good company.
20:14I'm so happy for you.
20:16I know what's missing.
20:18I don't have answers.
20:20I wouldn't be worried also about them.
20:25And I think that they're worse.
20:28You're almost there.
20:29And, you know, with Mixi being acquired by a larger company, it could be what's been causing the inadequacy issues.
20:36Oh, Jesus.
20:38I think you're right.
20:40Oh, so good.
20:42Oh.
20:44Have a great week.
20:45Take care.
20:50Okay.
20:51Mixi.
20:52M-Y-X-Y.
20:57Let's put it while it down.
20:59Yeah.
21:00Yeah.
21:00Told you.
21:02Okay, dude.
21:07Let's do it again sometime.
21:08Okay.
21:10Okay.
21:11It's like you could peek through with only three fingers.
21:14Yes.
21:15We will make that clear graphically.
21:16But you see where we're going.
21:17I'm not sure I do.
21:18You want to not do the work that we hired you to do?
21:21Okay.
21:22Think about how and why you buy organic, right?
21:24You pay extra for a sticker that promises a higher standard, eliminates perversions and corporate shortcuts.
21:31This badge, our gnome, says to your customers, every other car company is spying on you, stealing your secrets, selling
21:38them to the highest bidder.
21:40But at Torrin, what you do in your car stays in your car.
21:45It's your car.
21:46I don't buy organic.
21:48We sell trucks and SUVs.
21:50Do you even know our brand?
21:53Don't mind me.
21:59Look, privacy is what makes us us.
22:03Some things people just don't want recorded.
22:06Like how you collect your driver's sexual activity.
22:08Look, the insurance companies that you help us sell to for a profit want to know who's driving distracted.
22:15But do you need, for example, to monitor their weight gain?
22:17That appeals to the buyers to represent both fast food chains and diet pills.
22:20It's a winner.
22:20I'm not saying don't record navigation, reckless driving.
22:23Listening habits, even.
22:25But what's the benefit to recording the driver singing along?
22:30Well, you have polyps on your throat.
22:32Wouldn't you want to know?
22:32All of our clients agree to this.
22:3597 pages, 7-point font, and the car won't function as designed if you don't agree.
22:40It's not exactly an agreement.
22:42No, you're right.
22:43It's called a business model.
22:45The truth, we don't sell cars.
22:48We sell data collection devices on wheels with heated seats.
22:52Cars are expensive.
22:53Data has profit margins that you can drive a car right through.
22:58Where's Duncan Park?
22:59You got it.
23:02Look, Park may be an idiot, but he knows how to sell, not just opine.
23:06Okay?
23:07So you took a flyer on a new idea.
23:08Takes guts.
23:09But run it by reality first, okay?
23:11You had your biggest clients laughing in your face.
23:13That's something to avoid in business.
23:15I told you exactly what I planned to do.
23:17Yeah, but interim CEO, right?
23:19That does not give you permission to tell everyone to stand on their desk and yell carpe diem.
23:23Come.
23:24A board meeting next week, okay?
23:25Plan a presentation that writes this.
23:28Tech, revenue, growth.
23:29It's simple.
23:30And convince me that I did not hire someone who thinks profit is a microaggression.
23:41What?
23:42What?
23:43Sorry.
23:44What?
23:44Someone from hypnosis is here for you.
23:47Who is it?
23:48No, see.
23:49You're supposed to ask who it is.
23:51And you get their calling card, you put it in a little tray, you bring it.
23:54Oh, it's you.
23:56You have a lot of art.
23:57Yeah.
24:00What do you want?
24:01What do you need?
24:02What are you offering?
24:04My services.
24:05What would you pay?
24:08Ethical data, not turning your crank.
24:11Well, I'm an engineer.
24:13I am an expert in data collection and analysis,
24:16and she wants to hit pause on what I do.
24:18Oh.
24:18Not course correction, retreat.
24:20You know, buy a jet and ask where the brakes are.
24:22You want to know how fast it can go and how to make it go even faster.
24:24And so why me?
24:26Why not somebody else?
24:27You have a really firm grasp on the lowest common denominator.
24:30And that's just where the market's at right now.
24:32That's just reality.
24:34Yeah.
24:35And you're going to pay me top dollar because you see my talent and you know it won't be
24:38easy to find elsewhere.
24:41And you know that hiring me is going to keep her up at night.
24:45Okay.
24:47So what is the opposite of ethical data?
24:50Let's find out.
25:17Oh, do you smell that?
25:20Awful.
25:20I heard there were experiments done at Stanford in the 70s and some of this area got contaminated,
25:25but that is ridiculous.
25:28Well, it's a teardown anyway.
25:31Not with those redwoods out front.
25:34They're protected.
25:35Good luck getting a permit to do anything here.
25:41Joanne?
25:42Irvin!
25:43Irvin!
25:43Hmm.
25:44Hi!
25:45Hey!
25:45How is Beth doing?
25:47She's, uh, fine.
25:48Good.
25:49You know the tenant's not supposed to be here, right?
25:52Well, I'm not just a tenant.
25:54I'm a potential buyer.
25:55Fine.
25:56You can make an offer whenever you'd like.
25:58Along with everyone else, of course.
26:00Well, will you please tell Beth that it'll be soon?
26:03Yeah, and it won't be all cash, but we are gathering our 20% down and we are super motivated.
26:13If your mama wants a new pair of shoes, size three-bedroom, two-bedroom, smells like burp plastic,
26:19but it's still home.
26:35Is that all there is?
26:39If that's all there is, my friends, then let's keep dancing.
26:50Let's break out the booze and have a ball.
26:59If that's all there is.
27:10And then I fell in love with the most wonderful boy in the world.
27:16We take long walks down by the river.
27:21And then one day, he went to work for a private subsidiary of the Defense Department.
27:25And I said to myself,
27:29You.
27:31I know you.
27:34Oh, you're that sweet smell before a stroke.
27:40Yeah.
27:41Here's to being tracked while day drinking in the armpit of Silicon Valley.
27:49So, hypnosis is under my control now.
27:53New direction.
27:54And it's ethical.
27:56Oh, you don't believe me?
27:57Ask the clients who bailed when I did speak that word.
28:01I want the VA contract back.
28:03I want to make up for what Duncan failed to do,
28:06and I want it to be the centerpiece of what we do moving forward.
28:09Migrating data off a system so old it predates seatbelts.
28:13See that guy over by the pool table?
28:16Chester worked on the mump system.
28:18Even then, they were duct taping it together.
28:20You'd crawl into bed with that?
28:23Shoot.
28:23I don't even blame Duncan.
28:25I wouldn't fuck that flabby ass with your dick.
28:31Hey, why do you care?
28:33Really?
28:34Oh, you want it from the heart, do you?
28:37Okay.
28:43Your speech.
28:44At Cupertino.
28:46How little these men and women ask in return.
28:49Well, I wouldn't be here if someone,
28:51if you someone hadn't sacrificed for me in the midst of a war, too.
28:54Now, I've heard scores of pitches from NGOs and charities.
28:57No goosebumps.
28:58All pro forma.
29:01But you broke through, Tom.
29:04And I was spot on about
29:06hypnosis being the right place for your cause.
29:08My mistake was thinking that Duncan could rise to the occasion.
29:12Duncan's a piece of shit.
29:15Maybe I thought you might help him be a better person.
29:20Oh.
29:21There it is.
29:22There it was.
29:23Huh.
29:24Finito.
29:25So what do you say?
29:27Another go?
29:28You're too late.
29:30Two days since I retired.
29:32Yep.
29:33Passed the torch for a singed my fingies.
29:35Good.
29:35I could hire you outright.
29:37A consultant.
29:38A sector specialist.
29:39There are plenty of others,
29:40and you can find them who got into this for the money.
29:44I want you.
29:46Call Jeffrey.
29:48You know, I mean, he just took something new.
29:51Actually, you know what?
29:52Don't call him.
29:53No, this job's too important.
29:55You need somebody who's all in.
29:59I mean, just out of curiosity.
30:03Quarter of a billion dollar deal.
30:04I could start you at a low seven-figure situation.
30:10Seven.
30:14That's counting the decimal places.
30:16Not including decimals.
30:17Not including decimals.
30:18With room to grow.
30:24In 30 days, some are fancy where they can wring you dry.
30:27You need to get right, Tom.
30:29You know, Secfire here's I've been in rehab, but I'm not doing you a lick of good.
30:33You know, they say they understand, but they don't.
30:37Military people can't process weakness.
30:42You know, that's why I like that robot.
30:45That robot didn't judge.
30:47You know?
30:49The little guy, you know, what's his name?
30:52Alexander?
30:53Yeah.
30:54Yeah.
30:55Now, that's the kind of tech that could help people if, you know, you can get it to them.
31:03Should we drink to it?
31:06Last one.
31:26Anoushka Bhattachera, she's an ethicist at Cupertino until recently,
31:30is a hypocrite.
31:31I mean, she has signed off on some of the most heinous corporate malfeasance you can
31:36imagine.
31:37And now, she wants to rid herself of that guilt at your expense.
31:41Yep.
31:42She was right about one thing.
31:44Privacy has value.
31:45An unmind motherlode of value.
31:49Because privacy lives in a constant state of fear.
31:53And where there's fear, there's money to be made.
31:55I mean, we could already predict if, say,
31:59you're going to get a divorce.
32:00We will hit you with ads for lawyers, for plastic surgeons, gyms, dildos, teeth whitening.
32:06But if we could track in real time people's mental and emotional states.
32:10We can see whether somebody's feeling anxious, hungry, horny, distracted, determined.
32:14Basically, we know if you're banging your secretary before you do.
32:17If the issue's there, we'll provide the scratch.
32:19And that's legal.
32:20The American people have, through their elected representatives, given this question profound
32:25and careful thought.
32:27We had hearings, remember?
32:30Neither does anyone else.
32:33And do you know what Congress decided on all of these?
32:36That the industry would police itself.
32:38And you know what we did?
32:39We actually did, mostly.
32:41But there are so many things we can do if we wanted to, but we don't even if it would
32:45make us a lot of money.
32:46Because of what?
32:47What are we afraid of?
32:48Another toothless congressional hearing?
32:50No, that mindset impedes innovation.
32:53I call that self-police brutality.
32:56Tech lives matter.
32:57Exactly.
32:58That's good.
32:58That's good.
32:59What about privacy?
33:00What about honesty?
33:02An actual virtue.
33:04I mean, I am building the data company I've always wanted.
33:07It's honest.
33:08No secrets.
33:09Because privacy is not a thing anymore.
33:12Or?
33:15Vignata.
33:16Vignata.
33:17And here's where we approach the bleeding edge of genius.
33:20At Vignata, for $29.99 a month, you can keep your data private.
33:24Or at least we won't sell it.
33:25But here's where it gets even better.
33:27For $299 a month, you can become a Platinum member.
33:32And you get to see what we see.
33:34The oceans of data streams on all your friends, families, lovers, and strangers.
33:39Everything.
33:40Powered by AI to help you sift, of course.
33:42And then we put that subscription revenue in a profit-sharing pot in our data providers.
33:47That's you guys.
33:47Get a piece of that back end.
33:49If that's what you're into.
33:51And if you are, we'll know that too.
34:06There you are.
34:07We're looking for you.
34:10Did you come to bed last night?
34:21Tom Ruffage came to see me.
34:24Remember him?
34:25Our friend from the VA?
34:28Alex Fanta helped him immensely.
34:31He's hoping to scale that up at hyponersive...
34:34Tess found this.
34:36In the trash.
34:39It wasn't simple, but I salvaged a memory of Xander's last encounter before the changes in his behavior profile.
34:54Martin, I'm so sorry.
34:57I've been under so much pressure at work.
34:59You're apologizing to me?
35:01You think an apology removes the encoded scar tissue?
35:07Martin, come now.
35:08I can't do this again.
35:11This all feels way too familiar.
35:13I can't have another abusive situation in my house.
35:19My kids deserve better.
35:22Your kids.
35:24Right.
35:26Look, I'm not your ex.
35:29I'd never actually hurt anybody.
35:31How could you even say that?
35:32This is trauma.
35:34He is a learning living entity and you have inflicted an instructional fracture in his core.
35:41Okay, just...
35:41Can you hear me out?
35:43No.
35:44Tom Ruffage.
35:45No, no.
35:45Get help.
35:46I mean it.
35:48Or...
35:50I don't know.
35:50Get a lawyer.
35:51I don't know.
36:04Oh, my God.
36:33Oh, they went to see someone about a mortgage or something.
36:56Your mom has a lot of empty boxes and, like, things deliberately without any meaning.
37:02Yeah, she's deep in the shallow.
37:08So tell me about your childhood.
37:12What?
37:13Tell me!
37:14Okay.
37:16I was born to save the marriage and it did not work.
37:21Oh.
37:22So instead I was just forced to live with a guy who thought being a cool dad meant crying on
37:28my shoulder at seven.
37:32Mine just closed the door and made these wounded animal sounds.
37:38Can I look through our doors?
37:46Hello, Mr. Benzodiazepine.
38:00What the hell stop?
38:02Why does your mom have a gun?
38:04I don't know.
38:05Why is it tiny and pink?
38:07Imagine robbing a bank with this.
38:09You are not afraid.
38:11I assure you my weapon is lethal.
38:14It is also from my Easter basket.
38:17Look out!
38:19Get on the ground and give me the money!
38:22No, please!
38:22Give me the money!
38:23Take all the money!
38:25Boom!
38:26Boom!
38:27Boom!
38:29I have but the one bullet.
38:33I must take the only way out.
38:37Go!
38:38Go!
38:38Go!
38:39Go!
38:41Gary!
38:42Hurry up!
38:43Go!
38:46Go!
38:50Go!
38:50Go!
38:54Go!
38:59Go!
39:00Go!
39:01Go!
39:07Go!
39:09Go!
39:10Go!
39:13Go!
39:16Go!
39:16Go!
39:16Go!
39:17I am so sorry.
39:18I hope I didn't keep you waiting.
39:20No, thank you for seeing me.
39:22You know, you must be quite busy...
39:24You and Dr. Gary.
39:26Must be strange and fascinating being the shrinks of Palo Alto.
39:31All those freaky, creepy tech bro dudes, I surmise.
39:36Well, I had a cancellation.
39:38It's not a problem.
39:41Well, I wish I could say I was here on my own volition.
39:44But it's a bit of a bargain that I struck with my husband.
39:47He's one of those freaky dudes.
39:50Not creepy, though.
39:53Well, maybe later.
39:55Anyway, um, okay.
40:00I've been under a lot of pressure at work.
40:05Got a big board meeting.
40:07Big.
40:08That could sink me.
40:10And instead of preparing for it, I'm dealing with...
40:14Please, have a seat.
40:27You're dealing with...
40:29Martin.
40:31He's devoted himself to his artificial intelligence creation.
40:36He raises it like a child.
40:40And it is quite remarkable.
40:42But it's also the worst stepchild ever.
40:45And I've already got a real one.
40:46Tess.
40:48And she sees her husband, by the way.
40:50Court ordered.
40:51Because she's an incorrigible thief.
40:53Martin's first wife made a total mess of her.
40:55So I guess it isn't all Tess's fault.
40:57You don't want to listen.
40:59Trust me.
41:00Shut up.
41:00She's obviously had a rough time.
41:02But Martin believes that she's been damaged.
41:05As in her files were corrupted.
41:07Martin doesn't know how to reboot a child.
41:11So he started over with a machine.
41:14She's so full of shit.
41:16Maybe someday he'll similarly replace me.
41:20Or maybe I'll get out first.
41:22I don't know.
41:24Bitch.
41:27Okay.
41:28Same time next Tuesday.
41:32I'll be in touch.
41:37How was it?
41:39Lovely.
41:40Good.
41:40Absolutely.
41:44A process.
41:45Humbling.
41:49Proud of you.
41:59So, can I proceed?
42:01In a beta sort of way?
42:04I'll need to be overseeing every decision regarding Alexander.
42:08I wouldn't have it any other way.
42:16At least it was real.
42:23What are you doing?
42:28No.
42:35What the fuck is wrong with you?
42:47Welcome, everyone.
42:50I'd like to share with you my vision for a new era of hypnosis.
42:55I'm happy to report our ethical shift has secured a government contract worth a quarter of a billion dollars with
43:01likely renewals.
43:02I see the faces.
43:04Government payouts?
43:05Not to worry.
43:06They're on accelerated schedules, safe from budget cuts.
43:10We're locked in for at least two years of profitability.
43:14That's the move?
43:15Government work.
43:16Okay.
43:17What else you got cooking?
43:18What I have in mind is to help.
43:20Growth and profit first.
43:21Then comes the helping part.
43:22But put a pin in it for whoever you were trying to help.
43:25Because there's no money in kindness.
43:28And no kindness in money.
43:29Excuse me.
43:30Why are you talking and who are you?
43:32Who's not on the board?
43:33This is Tom Ruffage.
43:34I've asked him here.
43:35He's to lead the project.
43:36Yeah, I apologize.
43:38But you kill this deal, I'm out of job either way.
43:41So can I get in 60 seconds?
43:43You have 10.
43:45Fine.
43:46So it's not like you're going to poof, turn into a not-for-profit by helping people.
43:52Companies make billions from the government.
43:54It's just usually tech for killing people.
43:56No judgment, of course.
43:58But fulfilling our promise to the vets.
44:01Now that's-
44:01What do you mean vets?
44:02Yeah, excuse me.
44:03Veterans, not horse doctors.
44:05I'm sorry.
44:06I started right in the middle.
44:08Mind if I back up a little bit?
44:09Can I get 10 more?
44:10Okay.
44:11Tom's the undersecretary at Veteran Affairs.
44:13Deputy.
44:14Deputy undersecretary.
44:15Oh, so you served?
44:17Yes, sir.
44:18Army.
44:18First armored.
44:19Hold iron signs.
44:20When?
44:21Oh, uh, 88 to 92.
44:24Second brigade?
44:26Battle of Medina Ridge?
44:28Yeah, that's, uh, that's some inside baseball.
44:32Okay, so what's the, uh, what's the play here?
44:34Well, okay, take, um, um, Merrick, Charles, Nunn, uh, USMC, 1966 to 72.
44:45Uh, Lance Corporal, Honorable Discharge, Purple Heart, Vietnam Service Medal, Armed Forces Expeditionary Medal with V, uh, that's for-
44:53V for Bellary, I know.
44:54Are you a vet, Carl?
44:56Never had the honor.
44:57Uh, my daddy was, um, uh, in-
45:00Well, what, what else, what else, what else is in the file?
45:02Um, excuse me.
45:03Um, let me just hold up.
45:06Yeah, um, well, it turns out that, um, Lance Corporal Merrick has been waiting on a upgrade for his prosthetic
45:14arm for about, um, let's see, well, six years.
45:18Jesus Christ, six years.
45:20Anushka, do we have the tech to help this man get a new arm?
45:22I think we can do that and a lot more, Carl.
45:24I can get him help so he can sleep at night in a bed, not on the streets of the
45:28country he volunteered to defend.
45:30Men and women, like Corporal Lance-
45:33Lance, Corporal Merrick, and, and he was most definitely drafted.
45:36And 30,000 feet up, there's absolutely an opportunity for growth, Carl.
45:40Well, I've engaged exclusive access to an AI tech to call it a therapy bot doesn't do Alexander justice.
45:47Yeah, I can attest, um, this thing is like nothing else.
45:50Alexander can guide veterans in need to various services.
45:53Yeah, well, Noden can identify vets at risk.
45:55Now, together-
45:56I'm sorry, he's here.
45:59Hey, everyone, how are we?
46:02Good, Carl, Deuce, Noosh, Barry, Barry.
46:06What do you want?
46:07Oh, I'm still on the board, sweetheart.
46:11Tommy, what are you doing here?
46:13Carl, you're running an assisted living facility?
46:15I thought you said you were through with this guy.
46:16Oh, you said that.
46:18Wow, well, I'm through with her, that's for sure.
46:20Just like the, the clients, she pissed off with her ethical cosplay.
46:25You know, once word got out that she was trying to whitewash how we do business here,
46:28I scooped up three, three hypergnosis clients for my new company.
46:33Three letters of intent.
46:35And, uh, also with my innovations to the client deal, they're worth it.
46:39Even more now.
46:42A lot, lot, lot, lot, lot, lot more.
46:45But, um, I told them, I'm going to go to hypergnosis first, bringing this business here,
46:50if I get my hat back.
46:51Look, reinstate me.
46:57And we can move forward together again.
47:00Right?
47:00And I do, I will be, uh, expecting the majority of my stakes restored.
47:04It's either that or, or what?
47:06What?
47:06Keep hemorrhaging clients of that deal that literally no one else wants to take?
47:11Is this some kind of setup?
47:12Because I don't even want to breathe the same air as this fellow.
47:15Tom, Tom, why are you even here?
47:17You're not on the board.
47:17He's here as my guest.
47:19I just, I just have a question.
47:21It's an easy one.
47:24Carl, you invested in hypergnosis for a reason.
47:29It wasn't so much data.
47:31It definitely wasn't the vets.
47:33It was v.
47:38Right or wrong, huh?
47:39You disrespected a man who sold combat?
47:43Disrespected?
47:43You just disrespected a man who sold combat!
47:46That guy, are you kidding me?
47:48Did anyone bother to check if he has a pulse?
47:51I mean, or did the bloated bureaucracy that he served just forget to bury the bastard?
47:56I mean, hey, hey, hey, Tom, are you alive?
47:58Hey, blink if you can.
47:59And if so, get the f**k out!
48:01You can talk f**k!
48:02Oh, my God!
48:05Everybody that's in favor of disliking Duncan Park for the board, say aye!
48:10Aye!
48:10I own more of this company than anyone on the board except for Yosemite Sam here!
48:15And immediately kicked off the premises.
48:16Say aye!
48:17Aye!
48:18No, this is far from...
48:19Call security!
48:20Call security!
48:21I'll prove it!
48:26I, I didn't...
48:27Tom, I'm okay?
48:29Yeah, yeah, yeah!
48:30Hey, hey, hey, I'm the bad guy!
48:33I'm the bad guy!
48:33Tom, you okay?
48:34Yeah, go!
48:35You okay?
48:36Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, thank you.
48:37Yeah, I've seen way worse than that.
48:39I bet you have.
48:40It's okay.
48:41I'm curious.
48:42Was I just brought in his bait for Duncan?
48:45You guys, you're a whole bunch of cowards!
48:48Yeah?
48:49Freakness was here, and you flinched!
48:51You're not pertinent anymore.
48:53Congratulations.
48:54See ya!
49:01Beth, hi!
49:02Hi, it's Joanne Felder here.
49:04I'm just calling from my once, and I hope, future kitchen.
49:08I just wanted to call with some good news.
49:11I secured the money for the 20% down payment,
49:14and I was just headed to the bank to arrange a mortgage guarantee,
49:17so I wanted to let you know to go ahead and hold the...
49:22What?
49:23No, no, no, no, no, no, no, Beth, Beth, Beth, no, listen, I...
49:29No!
49:30No, no, Beth!
49:32Beth!
49:33Beth!
49:34Beth!
49:43She got an all-cash offer.
49:46$400 over asking.
49:49Okay.
49:51I did everything right.
49:57We have 90 days to move out.
50:01Oh.
50:02Wow.
50:05Thank you for your help with this, by the way.
50:08Yeah, enjoy your IRA.
50:10Okay, first of all, it's definitely going to be more than 90 days,
50:13because there's always a couple months once they put the thing in the whatchamacallit.
50:19Escrow.
50:21The word you are looking for, Gary, is escrow.
50:27A word that you've never used because you are a 55-year-old man who's never owned a house.
50:34Please, uh, put down the howitzer.
50:39Okay.
50:40We're gonna be okay.
50:44No, we're not.
50:47Okay.
51:16That's when I realized I am the only person I can count on.
51:20And I feel like I've been holding back on my true self for too long.
51:27And what true self is that?
51:29I'm a bad man, Johan.
51:32Yeah.
51:33Your son said so.
51:35He said, you are a bad, bad man.
51:38And if I am, well, it's...
51:41It's better to know it.
51:44Do you want to be a bad man?
51:48I don't think I have a choice in the matter, really, truly.
51:52I think at my core, I'm bad.
51:55And if I pretend I'm not, I, like, to the world, to myself, it's like I am forever in conflict
52:02with my genuine nature.
52:03And I don't have to do bad things.
52:05It's just the willingness is there to do what others dare not.
52:10That is it.
52:10That is really it.
52:12You know, some of us are meant to be the puppeteers.
52:14And the rest of us are the puppets.
52:16Yeah.
52:16And puppets hate their puppeteers.
52:19They do.
52:20You're just, you know, manipulating their every move, deciding everything, what they're gonna do for them.
52:25And yet, if the man doesn't hold the strings, the puppet crumbles.
52:29It does.
52:29It falls apart.
52:30It's useless.
52:31It's a burden, really.
52:33So who nominated you to carry this burden for the rest of us mortals?
52:37It's just something you know.
52:40It's like how I know I will emerge from my recent setbacks with something newer, better, even more honest than
52:47hypnosis ever was.
52:50I saw that your house was for sale.
52:53Uh, yeah.
52:55Yeah, it was.
52:56But, um, but it sold, so it's over.
53:00We're out.
53:01They paid all cash.
53:038.4 million for this.
53:05What a ripoff.
53:068.5.
53:07But who's counting?
53:10You.
53:13Hmm?
53:15You bought it?
53:17For you.
53:19No.
53:20Yes, I did.
53:21It's yours.
53:23It's mine.
53:24It's your, it's your house.
53:28Okay, uh.
53:32Why would you do this?
53:34Well, you said our sessions had to be here.
53:36I.
53:39So you, you're just gonna give it to me?
53:44I, I, I own it.
53:47So it's your house.
53:48It's, you live and work here.
53:51You and the boys.
53:53And only way you could lose the house.
53:55I mean, you can't.
53:56But, I suppose if you stop being my therapist.
54:02My oracle.
54:04Your puppet.
54:05Hey.
54:06Maybe I'm not such a bad guy after all.
54:09I, I'm not such a bad guy.
54:10I, I'm not such a bad guy.
54:11I, I'm not such a bad guy.
54:11I, I'm not such a bad guy.
