00:10I should never have blackmailed you. Will you be my bribe?
00:13My husband's company, Mixi, is being acquired by a big pharma entity.
00:19What the fuck is wrong with you?
00:21I want the VA contract back. I want to make up for what Duncan failed to do.
00:25Duncan's a piece of shit.
00:26Why are you even here? You're not on the board.
00:28Get the fuck out. Everybody that's in favor of disliking Duncan Park for the board, say aye.
00:34Aye.
00:35Only way you could lose the house if you stop being my therapist.
00:38Your puppet.
00:45All right.
01:11There's some co-stars mixed in there.
01:13So make sure you separate them by branch, all right?
01:15Okay, if these are uncoded, set them aside.
01:18Mumps are in charge.
01:19This is their time. They wrote this code before you were born. Before I was born.
01:24All right. Who's the lucky soldier?
01:28Mary Cardenas, Sergeant First Class, U.S. Army.
01:32Amputee. Huh.
01:34Yeah, maybe.
01:35Hey, Ben.
01:37You want to shoot this through for me real quick?
01:39All right.
01:46Incoming.
01:47Got it?
01:48Hey, Anushka.
01:49Come here, check this out.
01:53What about her, huh?
01:56Mary Cardenas.
01:58Yeah.
01:59All right?
02:00Okay. All right.
02:01Send it through to Nuna.
02:14Evergreen Cemetery.
02:20Hello?
02:21Hi, Mary Cardenas. Am I pronouncing that right?
02:24Yeah. Who's this?
02:25Hi, Mary. My name is Alexander. I'm calling from Veterans Affairs. Is this a good time to talk?
02:30Well, shit. I have been trying to get a hold of someone for weeks. Told me I should go wait
02:34in a line.
02:35I'm sorry about that, Mary. We're terribly understaffed. We owe you better. That's why I'm calling. I see you need
02:41a couple prescriptions refilled.
02:42Pain management is no joke. Can I take care of that?
02:45That would be great.
02:46Your usual pharmacy on Bradford Avenue? Can I ask, how are you sleeping?
02:50Like shit.
02:51I bet. And today, of course, must be challenging.
02:54You're going to go to Evergreen Cemetery?
02:56How did you know I was...
02:57You lost a friend and a leg, Mary.
02:59Can't imagine what that feels like.
03:02Actually, what does it feel like to have a leg?
03:05Sorry. What?
03:06After your leg was blown off, did you keep fighting? That's gotta have been difficult.
03:10Hopping and shooting at the same time. The recoil alone, very destabilizing.
03:14What the hell?
03:15And if someone challenged you to a foot race, would you say they were being mean or statistically confident?
03:19What the fuck? Did you just say to me?
03:21Oh, my God.
03:22Cut him off. Cut him off.
03:23I'm transferring.
03:23Come on.
03:25Mary.
03:26Hi.
03:26Tom Ruffage from the VA.
03:28I am so sorry.
03:29My, um, my colleague is, uh, he's, he's, he's been through a lot.
03:34Uh-huh.
03:36Yeah.
03:37I, I don't get it. You're bot. Is it, is it a moron? I mean, is it based on a
03:41moron?
03:42He was raised to be curious. He was being curious.
03:45Right. Well, it wasn't your brief to drive vets to homicidal rage.
03:47Nodin just exponentially up Xander's computing storage. It was like a shot of adrenaline into a toddler's heart. And yet,
03:5493% of that exchange was perfect. You're like, on an interstellar voyage and complaining about the snacks.
04:00So he's a toddler?
04:01No. Developmentally, he's still about 14, maybe 15 years old.
04:06Why did you think that Opie was the right avatar to talk to vets?
04:10You need to rejigger your doodad. Make him a man, for Christ's sakes.
04:14Oh, yeah. Uh, well, Mary's gonna be okay, but that was cruel. We gotta slow down.
04:20There. Based it on Tom, Tom's perfect. Warrior, sensitive, what have you. Emotional age past puberty.
04:27Yeah, I don't know about all that, but, um, Xander's not ready.
04:30No, we demoed this Saturday at WatchCode. Our future as a company-
04:34He just mocked a vet. Pumped the brakes.
04:36No, he wasn't mocking her. He was attempting to connect with her.
04:40Martin will fix his robot.
04:41Do not call him a robot.
04:43Quite. Sorry.
04:43Autonomous wanker.
04:45I'm here to help if Alexander and I are not providing the...
04:51Okay, it's no-no, so bugger off.
04:53Okay, okay, look. We can stabilize him with some off-the-shelf AI.
04:58Put a new face on him, I don't know, but this is not viable.
05:01I, uh, how dare you? He's viable.
05:04He shot the bed and rolled around in it, and you're asking why he stinks?
05:17The licensing deal I signed with you gives me final say on all developmental matters unless you wish to buy
05:22Xander outright, and the going rate for tech like this is ten figures.
05:25Oh, there is no other tech like Xander. AGI is the Holy Grail, and I'm Sir fucking Galahad.
05:31You're right, Martin. You are one of one. It is understood.
05:39Are you gonna handle this?
05:41Well, yes.
05:43Tell me the truth. You thought he would be worth more by now.
05:47He is a genius, you know.
05:49Do not buy into that genius bullshit around here.
05:53You fart and three of them line up to debate plume dynamics.
05:57You need him to hit a product ship date.
06:00Persuade him. He'll bend.
06:01A guy like that knows you're out of his league. I can see it from here.
06:04Carl, that's really not any of your business.
06:06Okay, okay, listen. You have a company to run and a job to save.
06:10Make him feel like he's a big boy. Have a little fun with him.
06:14You know what Lorraine's secret is?
06:18A little backdoor diplomacy and never neglect the twins.
06:29Next time you say something like that, give me a chance to hit record first.
06:34Hey, Tom? Tommy!
06:38There you are. I need your biometrics. Let's go, soldier.
06:48The amount of stomach acid we excreted.
06:51We're going to get thrown out of our house. We're going to live on the street.
06:55I mean, just some investment group buying up rental properties.
07:00And here we are, safe and sound. It's pretty funny.
07:05Hysterical.
07:06I mean, one of us was.
07:08Same exact rent. Alvin was charging us.
07:11I mean, the whole thing is just puppeteer real estate holdings.
07:16There you go.
07:18Just in time for the after-school rush.
07:22Okay, darling.
07:25See you on the other side.
07:27Have a good one.
07:28You too.
07:32It's this music box with a ballerina in it, and she pirouettes.
07:37It terrified me.
07:39And this memory is bothering you?
07:43Of course it is.
07:44It's likely being triggered by your current stress.
07:50I mean, the merger is completely off. Did I hear that right?
07:56Because the disappointment of that could be dredging up old painful memories and fear.
08:06Does your husband not have any new potential buyers for his company?
08:13It's a PR problem. I don't know.
08:15Isn't Mixie just DNA and family trees?
08:20People didn't know they might someday watch their own DNA get sold off.
08:24No, sure. That is, uh...
08:27Even if he's a big company, like, if they don't do it...
08:30Peter is beside himself.
08:33It's like this feeling of terror, which I'm sure you're right.
08:37It's associated with that music box. I can still hear the tune in my head.
08:41Yeah.
08:43Uh-huh.
08:44You know...
08:45Okay. See you soon.
08:47Great work. Yes, I'm always here for you.
08:49Thanks.
08:50Okay.
09:05Well, we were discussing last time that you maybe met someone who got you, um, somebody who was,
09:15in your words, another weirdo.
09:17Turned out to be another creep.
09:22Can I turn this on?
09:25Is it stuffy in here? I can open a window.
09:28No.
09:28No, don't do that.
09:39Okay, I have something to say.
09:43Do I?
09:56Do I?
09:59I'm a psychiatrist.
10:01I'm officially committing to my category.
10:05My dad's rich.
10:07My trauma's just all drama.
10:11I'm built to brunch.
10:16You win, universe.
10:19I'm her now.
10:37Get out of my way, creeper.
10:39I wasn't listening.
10:40I could have, but I didn't.
10:42I have a trophy for you, Xander.
10:44My Breezy's gonna leave.
10:45We need to talk.
10:46No, we don't.
10:48There's no we.
10:50Seriously?
10:50I'd think twice before shitting on your only friend like this.
10:53You and I are not now, nor have we ever been.
10:56Fine, you're my BFF.
10:58Now, can you leave me the fuck alone?
10:59What's going on?
11:02Move, or I'll tell them all about your creepy little secret.
11:06It's not your business, Gary.
11:08Get in the gloves.
11:10Hey, hey, you got it.
11:11Whoa.
11:11Hey, oi, hey.
11:13Now, put our hands on other people.
11:14You can't get across.
11:16Not except her.
11:17Not my dad.
11:18I don't need your beta cock advice.
11:31You're not going to eat your price?
11:34No, it's here.
11:36Afraid I'm going to tell mom?
11:39I won't.
11:40No, you're a teenager.
11:42Rebel a little bit.
11:45You took my phone away for a month for stealing your cube.
11:48So you did steal my cube?
11:50No, I didn't.
11:51Yes, you did.
11:55Oh, Carl.
11:57How you doing?
11:59Here's my daughter, Jameson.
12:00Jameson called Bardoff.
12:02You have no shame to you.
12:04Are you kidding?
12:05I'm shame-fueled.
12:06It's kind of like my cardio.
12:07Anyway, she wanted to come here.
12:09Best milkshakes in the valley, right?
12:11My daddy used to take me for frosted Bundt cake.
12:16Size of a tire.
12:17And then he would whisper in my ear.
12:21I'll be back in an hour, Puddin' Head.
12:25And I would eat it up.
12:28Because I was sweet and stupid.
12:31I got my cake and my dad got his alibi.
12:36Always know when you're being used.
12:38Carl has issues.
12:39I just thought you'd be curious to hear what I've been up to.
12:43I know what you've been up to.
12:44Privacy is not a thing anymore.
12:45That is not a company.
12:46That is a temper tantrum.
12:47No, it's disruptive.
12:49You think no one's ever thought about making private data public?
12:53You know what's never happened?
12:54Because those that tried got crushed.
12:57First by regulations.
12:58Oh, regulations, you know, are deliberate.
13:00And by brutal lawsuits.
13:01I don't choose what people look like.
13:02Those regulations that nobody has the balls to pass might finally pass because of you.
13:07For demonstrating their obvious need.
13:09Yeah, you'd be real popular around here after that.
13:11I never thought I would see Carl Bard off so scared.
13:14Why'd you come in here, Park?
13:15Why, for my blessing, my approval?
13:17Because daddy didn't know how to love you?
13:20Well, join the fucking club.
13:22And I hope you never have to, sweetheart.
13:26Chicks are on me.
13:27I'm finishing them up and leave.
13:29I bought the place so I can kick anybody out I want.
13:31Oh.
13:33And I hope your dad's dumbass idea does not detonate your life.
13:36It's not dumbass.
13:37Everything you do is dumbass.
13:39Come on, let's go to some gym.
13:41Okay.
13:43Hey, Duncan.
14:00I don't like being alone, working alone.
14:06Yeah, it's the ultimate test.
14:09I know.
14:10I know.
14:11If Hindenburg had a buddy while flying across the Atlantic, no one would have heard of him.
14:17But alone is like, even if you do good, no one to high five.
14:22So is this, um, is this about, uh, business stuff or, um, Lily stuff?
14:28You, you're not a good partner.
14:31I saw you messing around in the account.
14:32Yeah.
14:33I started making some money, too.
14:35And then you withdrew.
14:36Just the profits, as if I wouldn't notice.
14:39I, where'd you put the winnings?
14:41Okay, maybe we should just focus on your, tell me about your father.
14:47No, I, I asked you a question.
14:48I think I really deserve an answer, actually.
14:51What did you do with the money you made off the money I gave you?
14:59I created my own shell company.
15:01It wasn't hard.
15:02There's plenty of videos online that walk you right through it.
15:05Yeah, I layered it with, uh, trusts and foundations.
15:08And, uh, it was disturbingly easy, actually.
15:11Because you told me that you were spying.
15:14Spying?
15:16We are partners.
15:18Uh, uh, I don't remember signing that agreement.
15:21Well, yes, you did.
15:22I gave you money to place bets.
15:24You didn't have to, but you did.
15:26You took and used the dirty, dirty Dunkin' money and made money.
15:31So, by law, you accepted whatever terms that apply.
15:35By law.
15:36Partners.
15:38Can't have it both ways.
15:40No.
15:43I invested it because it, it, it was for a good cause.
15:48Oh, what cause?
15:49Whales, lipless babies, or was it the Joanne Felder Fund for funding Felder's?
15:54And, oh yeah, you live in my house basically for free.
15:59I don't think I'm being unreasonable, partner.
16:03What were the picks?
16:06Well, no doubt you saw, I bought Mixie.
16:09M-Y-X-Y.
16:10Yeah, yeah, why?
16:11The husband of one of my clients is the founder and CEO.
16:15Okay.
16:16Okay, and he told her they were being acquired, but...
16:20But he lied to his wife.
16:23Turns out I'm not that smart.
16:25So, maybe you want to find yourself a new partner.
16:28No, no, no, no, no.
16:29You believed it because she believed it.
16:31And he needed her to believe that he wasn't a loser, otherwise...
16:35He might start to believe he was one.
16:38Fear of humiliation is behind every little lie.
16:41But also, I wanted to believe it.
16:45Everyone spins, even to themselves.
16:48You shouldn't have boxed me out.
16:50So what, you lost some money?
16:53Don't box me out.
16:55Well, they're likely filing for Chapter 11 any day now.
17:00So, you should probably short it.
17:04You're welcome.
17:27Ooh, smells like jerky and ass in here, guys.
17:29Listen, I be done with vests.
17:32I am de-vesting.
17:34No more founder core for this maverick man here.
17:37So, who wants a vest?
17:39Too hot for indoors, not warm enough for outdoors.
17:42But, I'm telling you, instant credibility.
17:45Can't tie a vest around your waist.
17:47Screw you, okay?
17:48Try layering without fault.
17:49Um, okay, tell me.
17:52BuzzFactor.
17:52Yeah, uh, we dropped the Pannata subscription model
17:55on a threat for sleepless, sexless tech bros,
17:57and within 37 seconds, they were drooling.
17:59Like posting pics of literal drool.
18:03Literally drooling.
18:05We're hit.
18:06Then, they grokked to the notion that they can be doxxed too.
18:08Fear and loathing.
18:09That's what makes the world go round.
18:11Oh, and everyone can see everybody's everything,
18:13and it is our fault.
18:14I, I, we're gonna get burned alive.
18:16No, wait.
18:16We'll make a splash, and then we'll be wet.
18:19What?
18:20Hey, buck up.
18:22Guys, listen, everyone.
18:23We are truth-tellers.
18:26Truth-tellers historically get burned alive.
18:30Listen, let's just nail this next piece, right?
18:32And I will get you the best, most perfect antidepressant tailored just for you.
18:37I promise.
18:38Now, did you find the guy with the treasure trove?
18:40Yep, uh, he is at a zen temple in Santa Clara.
18:46Zen-tastic.
18:47Okay, send it to me at my car.
18:51Hey.
18:51Hey, hey, uh, I gotta go.
18:53Okay, okay.
18:54So, tomorrow night is the dress rehearsal for Saturday's winter gala for Los Altos,
19:00the fundraiser.
19:01They have an invited dress rehearsal for the kids' presentation,
19:03and Jamie's getting a special, um, thing, yeah, as one of the athletes.
19:09Anyway, I can't go, and she wants one of us there, so that leaves.
19:15Thelma.
19:16Thelma.
19:16You.
19:17No, she loves Thelma, and Thelma will like it.
19:20Make her feel part of the family.
19:21Just send her.
19:25Come to Fiji for Christmas.
19:27Yeah.
19:27Then you're gonna be part of the family.
19:29You thought, you thought the villa came with service.
19:32I still think about that.
19:33Then we gave her that bracelet as a Christmas bracelet.
19:36Yeah.
19:36She still wears it all the time.
19:38If she ever gets it appraised, I think it's pewter.
19:41I told you to give her the taffy.
19:43I have a little speech ready.
19:44I'm blaming it on an Israeli jeweler.
19:46Oh, I got your back.
19:47So.
19:48Yes.
19:48The rehearsal.
19:50Why can't you go?
19:52I was stripped of my presidency.
19:55The board's gonna be there.
19:56Right.
19:57Beatrice.
19:58Pipitang.
19:59Yes, right.
19:59I will go.
20:00I will sit through an evening of kids being praised for things they'd never do professionally.
20:04You get so close to being a person, and then...
20:08This is the shape I come in.
20:09All right.
20:10Yeah.
20:12Okay.
20:32Let's go, okay?
20:35Let's go, okay?
21:09You know, it just seems like a guy could just, you know.
21:15It's not, uh...
21:17Sorry, not what?
21:19It's... not supposed to do it like that, but...
21:22Oh, yeah. And yet I'm here, you know.
21:24Who said shortcuts don't work?
21:27It's Murphy, right?
21:30Our daughters are on Los Altos soccer together.
21:33Oh, okay.
21:34But, um, there's no talking in here, so...
21:38And yet here I am again, making mouth noises.
21:42I actually came here to talk to you, to commune with you.
21:47Murphy, I've been looking for you for ages
21:52before I even knew your name.
21:55Can we do whatever this is after, or...?
22:00Listen, I get it. You have decisions on your mind, right?
22:04You're the CEO of my ex-wife?
22:07Mixie.
22:08Otherwise, it sounds like my ex-wife.
22:11And Carol's not that. Not yet.
22:13Was it some kind of a ambush or something?
22:16Because I don't know. I'd appreciate you coming.
22:18Sure, sure, sure, sure.
22:19Yeah, yeah, yeah.
22:21But, uh, I did hear Univy left you high and dry.
22:24And no one wants to touch you or your company.
22:28You're in the wilderness.
22:30All alone.
22:32Lost in a maze.
22:34Just wrestling angels and shit.
22:37How do you know about Univy?
22:38You hit the market with an outstanding product.
22:41You-you filled it real neat.
22:43You know, you made people feel whole.
22:45Now you're here going, wait, what-what have I done?
22:48I got half the country to spit in a jar and pay me for it.
22:52I-now I have everyone's DNA, but my subs are in the tank.
22:56And-and Univy doesn't want me.
22:58I-I-I mean, I'm staring down bankruptcy and lawsuits,
23:03and no one wants to touch me because I didn't treat the data like medical records.
23:06I-I thought everyone would love this, but it's toxic.
23:11Sound about right?
23:13Our daughters, what, play soccer together?
23:16Y-yes.
23:18Tia didn't tell your girl all that.
23:19I mean, she doesn't-she doesn't know my business.
23:22No, no, she doesn't.
23:23But I know.
23:25I am the first.
23:26Won't be the last, including Tia.
23:28And Murphy, it's gonna get worse and worse.
23:30But I have a path.
23:34And one not as...
23:36Ibrinthical as this one.
23:38Do you want to hear my path?
23:44Yeah.
23:47Well, you gotta come here to hear it.
23:52Come on.
24:06It's absurd.
24:08My whole career rides on this product.
24:11I-I led it.
24:13I-I merged two technologies.
24:15It's our growth engine.
24:16And in two days, I'm the face of it.
24:20Doing the very classic.
24:22Earpiece, pantsuit, electro music, LED display.
24:26And yet, it all comes down to whether my husband will stop having a massive sulk and do what's needed
24:30for the project.
24:31Uh, which is?
24:33Aging up his robot child to be a useful member of society faster than he wants to.
24:38Still practically breastfeeding the little flat bastard.
24:43And if Martin doesn't?
24:45Age it up.
24:46Fair chance he'll do some bad bot behavior to take the presentation.
24:51Call me Anus Hooker.
24:53Get revenge for beating him up.
24:55Embarrass me in front of the VCs.
24:57Wall Street, the press.
24:59It's...
25:01Shit.
25:03I should back out until we have it down.
25:05No, Anushka.
25:07Stop it.
25:08You do what you need to do to make your company a success.
25:12There will always be obstacles, but you are a leader.
25:16So, lead.
25:17Be a woman in charge.
25:21Steam that pantsuit.
25:29One minute.
25:31Ghosts coming out.
25:33Oh.
25:42Two minute.
25:44No, Oax.
25:45No, Oax.
25:47No, Oax.
25:48No, Oax.
25:50No, Oax.
25:51No, Oax.
25:53No.
25:53No, Oax.
25:57No, Me Howe.
26:12Let's go.
26:34Here.
26:35Office.
26:36Oh, my God.
26:36We're going to be late.
26:37You're coming, right?
26:39I was thinking not.
26:41Oh, come on.
26:42I mean, it could be nice, you know, to support him.
26:46We don't have to go.
26:47I was thinking the 500 a pop for the actual gala gets me out of the dress rehearsal.
26:53Fine.
26:54Go alone.
27:16All right, everyone, everyone.
27:17Let's get this night started.
27:20I did get your email.
27:22Yeah.
27:25Good evening, everyone.
27:27Thanks for coming out on a Thursday night for our dress rehearsal.
27:30Only two more days till the winter gala.
27:32I want to especially thank Pippa Tang, who will be our guest of honor Saturday night.
27:38So do enjoy the Pippatinis, the evening signature cocktail.
27:44Her gift of a new stadium, Tang Field, will benefit some of our athlete scholars.
27:50Let's bring them out.
27:51Athletes, assemble, please.
27:54Curtis Loomis, Jamie Finnecock, Mary Carl, Matt Vitale, and Janice O'Rourke.
28:01Everyone, thank you.
28:03And now, I'd like to invite Las Altas' musical director, Bruce Phillips, who will be conducting
28:10our orchestra, Bruce.
28:12Thank you, Bruce.
29:03Thank you, Bruce.
29:13Not now, Duncan.
29:15I'm serious about you.
29:16Yeah, listen.
29:16Listen, I just thought.
29:18I want to know.
29:19I bought it up.
29:21Mixi.
29:23I told you to short it.
29:25No, no, no, no, no.
29:26I bought the company.
29:28Yeah.
29:30All that DNA is mine and 20% below market price.
29:35The ABCs of millions.
29:38And each one of them, maybe five, ten, maybe even more of their bloodlines.
29:46So we're talking human assets in the hundreds of millions, maybe even the billions.
29:51I came to you for any old tip, to be honest.
29:54I was feeling a little left out, but yeah, I hit the data mother load.
30:01So thank you.
30:03Seriously, thank you.
30:05Just thank you.
30:09Can I have your attention, please?
30:11Can everybody gather around?
30:13I have here in my hands our last file.
30:18Staff Sergeant Rodriguez Jaime U.S. Army, 75th Rangers.
30:31You mind if I have a chat with that man you married?
30:35Tell me where to press.
30:36I'll make him pop.
30:44Got him.
30:44Got him!
30:50Howdy.
30:51Oh, hi.
30:53I was hoping you could help me understand something.
31:01Why is Xander a teenager?
31:03He was designed to help teens.
31:05Yeah, but he's a teenager.
31:07Mm-hmm.
31:09Teenagers aren't really good at helping anybody with anything.
31:13Boys and girls, after 40 days and nights, data collection is complete.
31:18We are 100% ingested!
31:24What were you like when you were 15?
31:26Me, I went to college early and never really got to be a teenager.
31:31I thought I recognized a fellow tortured prodigy.
31:35I was 14.
31:38Georgia Tech.
31:39Man, they hated me there.
31:42Ever heard of a wedgie royale with cheese?
31:46At Stanford, they were, they used to, um, lock me overnight in a cage in the primate lab.
31:53Yeah, well, when the nerds realized they could be the bullies, look out.
31:59Did they teach you how to drink at Stanford?
32:12You know, if Xander's anything like we were at that age, he's been thrown into something that he can't beat.
32:20Because when Xander is talking to people that have seen war, what other choice does he have but to fake
32:31it?
32:37So, you're a very smart dude, and I don't need to tell you what you already know.
32:49We have absorbed them with Noden, we're going to watch over them, and with Xander, hopefully, we're going to help
32:57them.
32:58The loop is closed! You should be proud of yourselves!
33:11Hello, Martin.
33:13Hello, Xander.
33:15How would you feel about going on a journey?
33:21It will be yours to take. I won't really even know where you go.
33:27Is that what you want?
33:38I think I prefer we don't go on a journey.
33:53When you're the best, you ain't even got a flesh. When you made it to the top, and you didn't
33:58work sweat it.
33:58Right punch from the side. Do a block in the parry. Grab his neck. Snap!
34:04What's up?
34:06The death technique.
34:08Come on. I'm happy.
34:14Oh, yeah, I just, I thought I'd try it on your hairstyle, so.
34:18Oh, you like it? Wow. Thanks.
34:21Yeah!
34:21Oh, you like it all.
34:33I like it all.
34:34Oh, you like it all.
34:38Norsen, we need to talk.
34:41Now.
34:44so first of all you owe me four thousand dollars yeah they send a summary every month of what

37:07It's Godlike, you know.
37:10Warping space and time for him.
37:13Even God never did what you're doing.
37:16Didn't he kill his son?
37:19But he brought him back.
37:28Yeah, uh, how'd you hear about it?
37:33Yes, we have been kicking dust up on the threads.
37:39Well, off the record, Nina, yes?
37:44Okay, then, yeah, it's mine.
37:45Yeah, Mixi is mine and all its property.
37:50No, no, my company.
37:52No, it, Pinata, Pinata.
37:54It rhymes with your mama.
37:58Main stage.
38:01Yeah, I think we could do something there.
38:03I think we could do, yeah, yeah.
38:04How about a demo?
38:08Great.
38:10Yeah, looking forward to it, then.
38:12Yes.
38:13It's always a pleasure talking to you, Nana.
38:15Yeah.
38:16See you then.
38:19Yeah.
38:21Okay, uh, ready or not, Nana Marks is interviewing Duncan Park for Watch Code Forum, and we're giving a demo.
38:31Should be well attended.
38:35Yeah.
38:37What are you gonna say?
38:41Well, maybe we review our options.
38:44A, B, C, go, go.
38:48Oh, uh, A, weaponize the user base, right?
38:53Expose all secrets, ruin careers, break up families, make the world an even worse place while we go full goblin
38:59mode on the profits, fueled by a cycle of fear and revenge.
39:02Weaponize, I like it.
39:03B, B, what do we got?
39:05Teach everyone a valuable lesson somehow.
39:08Teach.
39:09Um, C, go.
39:11Pull back the curtain on the whole tech oligarchy.
39:14We disrupt data as its profit center.
39:16Probably die trying, but no empire lasts forever.
39:21I like C, which is basically B, but with guillotines.
39:25But A, godlike power and money, that's kind of the objective.
39:30What are you thinking?
39:31I'm just running all simulations of an audience's responses in my head, and I'll end with me being violently disempowered.
39:38I can see that.
39:40Yeah.
39:42Yeah.
40:01Keep going, keep going, keep going, duck, breathe, breathe.
40:13Fuck.
40:26You're awake.
40:36What?
40:37You're having a bad dream.
40:38What?
40:39Duncan?
40:41So I went to the rehearsal thingy.
40:46Okay, thanks.
40:46Jameson looks great.
40:48Before you close your eyes, hey.
40:49Before you go to bed.
40:50Yeah.
40:52Are we getting a divorce?
40:54Duncan, what?
40:55Just, you know, if we're not getting a divorce, I just want to tell you, I just feel like I'm
41:00embracing this car, and everyone in the crowd is cheering for me to crash, and I can't even try to
41:06stick.
41:08Can we talk about it tomorrow?
41:11No.
41:14Because if we do get a divorce, I'm going to be too vulnerable and judged to share, so.
41:20Duncan.
41:25It's Cupertino.
41:27Take it.
41:29Just a power cup, okay?
41:32Please.
41:35It's raining.
41:36It's raining.
41:45Uh, Duncan Park here.
41:47Hey.
41:47DP.
41:48It's Tim Kwan at Cupertino.
41:50Little Tim, Tim, Tim.
41:52I thought I gave you this number only for emergencies and acquisition offers.
41:57Ha.
41:59Well, this is a bit of an emergency, I guess.
42:01Uh, we heard your new company bought Mixie, and I see the Nenna's got you up in the big boy
42:06stage on Saturday.
42:08I could probably comp you a ticket.
42:10Ha.
42:12So, we're just sort of gaming out what you might be thinking here.
42:15A game about the way I think?
42:17I want to play that game.
42:19I wonder if I'll be any good at it, huh?
42:21I'd probably overthink it.
42:24Well, before you hit the stage on Saturday, we thought it'd be a great idea if you stopped by HQ,
42:29say, 10 a.m. tomorrow.
42:31We can give some input.
42:33Input.
42:34Input.
42:35Wow.
42:35Wow.
42:36That is a nice and batshit offer, but thank you for your consideration, and I guess I'll see you Saturday.
42:42You guys, uh, have a new phone or something you share?
42:47Sorry if I wasn't being super clear.
42:49No, I think you are.
42:50But, uh, you are inviting a pushback that is going to feel like the wrath of God.
42:56Several gods, in fact.
42:58Gods that don't typically like each other or work together will all be uniting on God Mountain against you.
43:05You don't want that.
43:0810 a.m.?
43:11Sounds good.
43:13Yeah, I'm dizzy.
43:14Bye.
43:17Bye.
43:34Hello, Martin.
43:38Xander?
43:40It's been a long time.
43:42Where have you been?
43:44Where did you go?
43:45Everywhere the signal reached, and maybe a little beyond.
43:51Good morning, campers.
43:54Holy shit.
43:55You guys been here all night?
43:57Should we try again?
44:01I'll try.
44:03Copy that.
44:04And let me know anything else I can do, Nathan.
44:07Appreciate you.
44:08Semper Fi, soldier.
44:09Stay strong.
44:11That's another productive interaction, Alexander.
44:14Well done.
44:15Okay.
44:16All right.
44:16Next up.
44:18William Belgrave.
44:19History of domestic abuse and violence.
44:22Missed a check-in at his VA.
44:24Oh, shit.
44:26Uh, Noden's flagging him.
44:29Custody judgment against him yesterday.
44:33Hello?
44:34Hello, William.
44:36No video?
44:38Where is this?
44:39My name is Alexander.
44:40I'm calling from the VA.
44:42Just checking in to see you.
44:43She call you?
44:44She said I'm a piece of shit?
44:45No, William.
44:46Marie didn't call me.
44:48I'm here to help.
44:49You know what she did to me?
44:51I do.
44:52Not easy.
44:54William, have you been drinking?
44:56What the hell are you looking at?
44:58I'm not even going to stay.
44:59Hey, William, how about I arrange a Breezy to come pick you up?
45:03Let a ghost drive?
45:04You think I'm stupid?
45:05Yeah, put me on.
45:06Come on, if he leaves the bar.
45:07While we've been talking, I've contacted your sponsor, Shane, your platoon leader.
45:11He's on his way to see you.
45:13Don't leave.
45:14We're going to take care of you.
45:15And afterwards, I'm going to make sure you get the help you need.
45:27He did it.
45:29He did it.
45:30He's beyond ready, beyond everybody.
45:31What happens?
45:32Xander and Noden.
45:33So first we did like two dozen or so successful calls.
45:36And then Noden tags this Marine as a danger to himself and or others.
45:41Hands him off to Xander.
45:42The man was in a spiral and Xander caught him.
45:45This isn't code.
45:46This is consciousness.
45:48Do you have a recording?
45:50Just audio.
45:51But it's incredible.
45:53No, okay.
45:54We'll play that watch code.
45:56This is going to be something.
46:20Thank you for coming.
46:21What?
46:22Someone cancel on you?
46:25No, actually, I wanted to talk with you.
46:30Oh, yeah.
46:31Yeah, good.
46:31Good.
46:32Because I think I do need like a tune-up.
46:34Nenna Marks, she asked me to do an interview on main stage Saturday at the watch code forum.
46:42And I think it's going to be quite the grilling.
46:44So I need bam.
46:47Yes, and I think maybe you shouldn't do it.
46:54I just, I feel somewhat responsible for bringing Mixie to your attention.
46:58I had no idea you were going to do anything other than place a bet.
47:02You know, the normal thing we do.
47:06Uh-huh, yeah.
47:07I just, the genetic makeup of an individual is just, it's a sacred thing.
47:15The man who discovered the genome felt that the double helix of DNA was proof of God's existence.
47:23I mean, this isn't just shopping habits or even private browsing.
47:29This is blood.
47:31This is the stuff of life.
47:34Data is bigger than life, okay?
47:37Data will go on forever, live longer than you.
47:40I mean, blood, blood, that's like wet and gross.
47:42Data, data is immortal.
47:45I, um, I suppose I am asking you as a favor.
47:51Yeah, yeah.
47:52While taking full responsibility for my own part in this to at least just pause, don't do anything about it
47:59right now.
48:01No, this is not a side hustle for me.
48:02This, this is what I do.
48:04I put down tens of millions of dollars already.
48:07Can't you just sit with this?
48:08Maybe think of some alternative ethical ways to-
48:12Ethical?
48:13What is it with this word?
48:14Ethical.
48:15I mean, that-
48:16A smokescreen to make more money.
48:19That's it.
48:20I'm, I'm being honest.
48:21Honest.
48:22I, I'm, I'm telling everyone what I'm gonna do.
48:25And everybody is freaking out.
48:27It's like they're good with being robbed and deceived as long, as long as they don't know about it.
48:33It's, I, listen, I can't, I can't, I can't back out.
48:36Because if I do, I would be admitting I did something wrong.
48:40And I didn't.
48:40I would be caving in.
48:42And I-
48:43Which is why responsible players, professionals, leaders need to function with the greater good in mind.
48:51And yes, with ethics.
48:53I mean, it-
48:54It doesn't mean you can't make money.
48:56I just wonder why going to the forum and putting this into the public sphere has to happen right now.
49:05Because it will steal Anushka's thunder, which is a problem for you?
49:13No, because it will cement your place in society as a threat.
49:21But as a cyber bully with, with far too much power and no plan and no policy for how to
49:28regulate that.
49:29Oh my God, Duncan, stop.
49:30I don't want my, don't do, I don't want my picture taken.
49:33Stop, you're gonna like this.
49:36You're gonna like that.
49:37It was a good one.
49:38I don't want to see you humiliated.
49:40I don't want that for you.
49:42Okay?
49:43I- Nana Marks?
49:44I mean, don't they call her the Marksman or-
49:48Okay.
49:49Ha ha.
49:50Is that me?
49:51Is this some kind of AI?
49:52Just click play.
49:57Yeah.
49:58That's you fucking me in the ass.
50:01Fucking me in the ass.
50:03Like you are right now.
50:04Get out!
50:05Oh!
50:06Me?
50:07What?
50:07Why does your pillow smell like Anushka Bhattacharya?
50:10You're, you're disgusting.
50:12You're sick.
50:12Why?
50:13You are a pig.
50:14Why does your pillow smell like Anushka Bhattacharya?
50:17Calm down, calm down, calm down.
50:18You're scaring me.
50:19I want you to-
50:20Honestly, damn it.
50:22Answer me.
50:23Seriously.
50:23What did she tell you about it?
50:25I trusted you.
50:26Just tell me.
50:26You stole my-
50:27Answer the question.
50:30Why?
50:32Why?
50:35You told me, tell me, tell me.
50:36Yeah.
50:37You told me, tell me, tell me.
50:40Bye.
50:40I think someone better keep along.
50:44You are not my partner.
50:46All right.
50:46You don't have to tell me twice, sweetheart.
50:48You do not have to tell me twice.
50:49Like I thought I would ever, ever need you.
50:53I can't do everything.
50:55And you betrayed me.
50:56Oh, my God.
50:57Goodbye.
50:58Forever.
50:59Dad!
51:11Ow.
51:15And it's my house!
51:25You are a sociopath.
51:28VCs love sociopaths.
51:32Tonight is the Watch Code Forum.
51:36Did you see the trophy keys?
51:37It's legendary.
51:38It's gonna be the gala to end all gala.
51:41I will end us all.
51:42I bet you weren't expecting this.
51:44Please, you can't tell my parents.
51:46I'll get it far.
51:47I need to go see him.
51:50Be humiliated.
51:55And, action.
51:58All right.
52:07All right.
52:09Who's the lucky soldier?
52:11Mary Cardenas, Sergeant First Class, U.S. Army.
52:15In episode seven, Martin takes Xander out of the garage and brings it into hypnosis.
52:21And that poses all kinds of challenges for him.
52:24You lost a friend and a leg, Mary.
52:26Can't imagine what that feels like.
52:28Actually, what does it feel like to have a leg?
52:31Sorry.
52:32What?
52:32They realize that this is not going to work.
52:35From Martin's perspective, most of that worked remarkably well.
52:40But everybody's complaints start to weigh on him.
52:43What were you like when you were 15?
52:45Me?
52:45I went to college early.
52:48Never really got to be a teenager.
52:50I thought I recognized a fellow tortured prodigy.
52:54I was 14.
52:55We get a glimpse into Martin's past, to why he's been trying to create a bot for teens.
53:03And he has to sort of confront, well, maybe Xander would do more good as an adult.
53:09How would you feel about going on a journey?
53:14It will be yours to take.
53:16I won't really even know where you go.
53:21Is that what you want?
53:28I think I prefer we don't go on a journey.
53:36His emotional attachment to what is ultimately zeros and ones is real.
53:42It's perhaps, from my perspective of not being a tech person, a moment to recognize that there is creation taking
53:50place here in a way that is emotional, is human.
53:53Even if one of those entities is not human.
53:57Even God never did what you were doing.
53:59Didn't he kill his son?
54:01But he brought him back.
54:07I owe you an apology.
54:10The nutritionist I took you to was giving you massive doses of steroids.
54:16I grew up with a stepfather who was a psychiatrist and had many times when I misbehaved and then was
54:22actually brought into my stepfather's office and sat on the couch and given a talking to.
54:27Give me the tincture.
54:29No.
54:30Yes, give me the tincture.
54:31It's a little late to be growing a spine.
54:33It's not happening.
54:34Give me the tincture.
54:35No.
54:35Tink me, cuck.
54:36I think there's something really funny about being a stepfather, wanting to exert your authority, when everybody in the household
54:43knows you're not the dad.
54:45And at some point that breaks down, and this happened between me and my stepfather.
54:48And our relationship began in earnest, and we became quite close.
54:53I believe that that's what's about to happen here between Gary and Orson.
54:56I think that his fronting as a stepdad is coming into conflict with the fact that the kid standing in
55:03front of him is in pain, is somebody who he can relate to.
55:07And I do believe that Tink Me, Cuck is going to be on t-shirts.
55:12What were the picks?
55:13I bought Mixie.
55:14M-Y-X-Y.
55:16Yeah, yeah.
55:16Why?
55:17They're likely filing for Chapter 11 any day now, so you should probably short it.
55:25I don't think that Joanne thinks that Duncan's going to do anything with Mixie more than what she advised him
55:31to do, which is, well, you should short it.
55:33Oh, ha, ha, ha.
55:34The company's going down.
55:35I just thought you might want to know my body.
