00:00:16More than physical pain, I fear humiliation.
00:00:21Last week, hypnosis was this close to being acquired by Cupertino, our stock sword, on the rumor.
00:00:28I don't understand.
00:00:32Why not?
00:00:34Well, it's not happening.
00:00:36I just found out.
00:00:38Talks were terminators.
00:00:47Um, Duncan?
00:00:50Morning remarks.
00:00:51You want to skip it?
00:00:52I'm fine.
00:00:53And when word gets out, and it will, my stock is going to nosedive, not to where it was
00:00:58before it took off, but synced with an odor of, like, what comes out of a frightened dog.
00:01:05That smell just was hanging around me.
00:01:12I said no.
00:01:13Sorry.
00:01:16Okay.
00:01:19How we doing, hyper gnomes?
00:01:22Just got some news.
00:01:24Great news.
00:01:25Pretty, pretty fucking cool news.
00:01:29Can't tell you what.
00:01:30Not yet.
00:01:33But it's great.
00:01:37Good.
00:01:42Why they say no.
00:01:45I have a track record.
00:01:47I mean, Fafa was a juggernaut in its time.
00:01:51And I guess everyone assumes, since I'm the man who co-created Fafa, that I'm the man.
00:01:56Or the co-man.
00:02:01And maybe I'm not.
00:02:05And they smelled it.
00:02:10When word gets out, how will that make you feel?
00:02:14And, uh, when do you expect that to be?
00:02:18Won't be long.
00:02:19You know, people talk.
00:02:20They tear you down and forget you ever even mattered.
00:02:26The doctor-patient confidentiality thing, just how airtight is that?
00:02:30I can't speak with anyone about what you say.
00:02:33Not unless you're meaning to do harm to yourself or others.
00:02:36To find harm?
00:02:38Physical harm.
00:02:39All right.
00:02:40Uh, why should I have leaked the acquisition rumor?
00:02:46That's on me.
00:02:47I wanted an upper valuation before the price was set.
00:02:50Uh, sorry.
00:02:52It happens all the time.
00:02:55Uh, yeah, we also juiced our price before the IPO.
00:03:00I don't know.
00:03:01I'm not the money guy.
00:03:03I do ideas.
00:03:05Powered by belief.
00:03:06And belief is affirmed by fuckability.
00:03:09If I could just sell my shares now, but the SEC would kill me.
00:03:15So I'm just gonna have to sync with it.
00:03:19Surely you're not going to be poor.
00:03:21No.
00:03:22Obviously.
00:03:24But Lily can't find out.
00:03:25God, she would divorce me just to secure half of it.
00:03:28Be the smart move.
00:03:29Do you think perhaps you're misjudging Lily?
00:03:31Lily?
00:03:32No.
00:03:32She'd frame all my success as dumb luck.
00:03:35You know, I'd become an object lesson.
00:03:38An adjective.
00:03:39Don't pull a dunk in.
00:03:41Or is that a noun?
00:03:42Oh, Christ.
00:03:44What would my dad say if he could hear me now?
00:03:48Please, Joanne.
00:03:49Really, this is strictly between us.
00:03:54Thanks.
00:03:55Okay, see you next week.
00:03:57Doing the work.
00:03:58Yeah.
00:04:05Schmuck.
00:04:14The stressors that drove some workers at our Guangzhou factory to choose to exit themselves out window remain unresolved.
00:04:33Well, what about our supplier code of conduct?
00:04:37Our code, their conduct.
00:04:40Were we to enforce our code, anything heavy-handed opens us to charges of cultural elitism.
00:04:48Text Anushka Cupertino.
00:04:51What would you like to say?
00:04:52What happened?
00:04:57However, our position has always been human life is valuable.
00:05:02Full stop.
00:05:04It's a cornerstone for us.
00:05:18What?
00:05:19Wow, thank you.
00:05:20You picked up.
00:05:21Great, thank you.
00:05:22I cannot talk to you about this.
00:05:24I was not read in.
00:05:26I'm an executive here, and I'm on your board.
00:05:28Recuser was mandatory.
00:05:30Okay, just the acquisition door, how fully shut is that?
00:05:34Or are we, like, playfully rimming the door frame?
00:05:37Oh, I would say nailed.
00:05:39Like a coffin, from my understanding.
00:05:41Noosh, you're supposed to warn me about this.
00:05:45Is this your job?
00:05:46Did you leak the acquisition rumor, yes or no?
00:05:49No!
00:05:50No!
00:05:51Maybe!
00:05:52Once it's clear no acquisition's forthcoming, your stock is going to take a ding, and you'll
00:05:56have no one to blame but yourself.
00:05:58Okay, that is just one of the branches on the tree of outcome.
00:06:02And there are many branches, a lot of leaves.
00:06:04It's really, it's really leafy, okay?
00:06:06So, just, can we focus, maybe not, on the dings?
00:06:09You want to change the focus, Duncan?
00:06:12Change the story?
00:06:13Gladly, gladly, yeah.
00:06:15How do I do that?
00:06:16No, I don't know.
00:06:17Presumably with another better story.
00:06:20Yes!
00:06:21Yes!
00:06:23Where I'm the hero!
00:06:24Sure, why not?
00:06:26Good luck with that.
00:06:27Thank you!
00:06:28Right.
00:06:55Almost finished.
00:06:57Be done soon.
00:07:01You know what that is?
00:07:03That's tungsten.
00:07:04Aerospace grade.
00:07:05Heaviest element in the universe.
00:07:07This one's four inches cubed, but weighs 43 pounds.
00:07:11The crypto bros are super into them.
00:07:13You know why?
00:07:16It's not, it's not virtual.
00:07:20It's real.
00:07:22It's the realness.
00:07:25Here you go.
00:07:26God damn it!
00:07:31You're done, right?
00:07:33Yeah.
00:07:34You're done.
00:07:54Gary, he landed.
00:07:56Early.
00:07:57Oh, no, damn it.
00:07:58We're late.
00:07:59Huh?
00:08:00Yeah, have a lunch.
00:08:02Yeah, well, bring it.
00:08:04Orson's just wandering around the airport.
00:08:06Where are my damn keys?
00:08:08You've got Wi-Fi and snacks, right?
00:08:10You get to the airport, it's fine.
00:08:11I told him we're already on our way.
00:08:14Well, I don't know.
00:08:16Pick up your phone.
00:08:18Gary!
00:08:18You're yelling, Joanne.
00:08:20Being hysterical doesn't make you a better parent.
00:08:23Oh, that's him.
00:08:23Honey?
00:08:25Hi.
00:08:25What lore's investment?
00:08:27Uh, sorry, but I can't, uh, talk.
00:08:29Unwavering confidence.
00:08:31A hat I can wear.
00:08:32I have that hat.
00:08:34Hey, Joanne, I'm looking at a light fixture.
00:08:36Can you?
00:08:36I, sorry, we talked about this, Duncan.
00:08:40You can't just call me out of the blue.
00:08:41But I have a plan.
00:08:42Listen, I point to the fabulous stock price, which remains fabulous for the moment, and
00:08:46I say I will sell another tranche in private secondary offerings.
00:08:50Who's wet for it?
00:08:51Okay?
00:08:52If I could Viagra the price and keep it up long enough, I could be like, suck it, Cupertino.
00:08:56Suck it and weep.
00:08:57No ding.
00:08:57All dong.
00:08:58Sorry, but if you're leveraging the high stock price when you know the stock's gonna fall,
00:09:02isn't that fraud?
00:09:03Fraud.
00:09:04For a market manipulation, I mean, won't that arouse suspicion with the SEC?
00:09:07First of all, I don't know the stock's gonna fall.
00:09:10I'm not Nosferatu.
00:09:11Fraud?
00:09:12What?
00:09:14You know what?
00:09:14Instead of accusation, uh, submission of validation would be nice.
00:09:18Duncan, I'm gonna have to take this.
00:09:20No, you just accused me of fraud.
00:09:21It's my son, and he is alone at the airport.
00:09:24I don't care if he's in a stranger's van licking lollipops.
00:09:27You do not hang up on me now.
00:09:29Goodbye, Duncan.
00:09:29No, no goodbye.
00:09:30Nope, nope.
00:09:31Gary.
00:09:32Oh, my God.
00:09:33It's a sandwich.
00:09:35Would you hurry up?
00:09:39Fuck!
00:09:40God!
00:09:59You are gonna love Los Altos.
00:10:01It's very progressive, but they're not fruity about it.
00:10:05Last year, Los Altos was the top feeder for Stanford, including Pali.
00:10:16Look familiar?
00:10:21Did your father send your transcripts from Baltimore?
00:10:24I know he's not feeling well, but your tuition's normally $90,000, and there's no way your dad would pay
00:10:28for that.
00:10:29But there was a scholarship that no one was using.
00:10:31So you'd be surprised how hard it is to find underprivileged youth around here.
00:10:35And as it turns out, your father's illness qualified as a hardship.
00:10:38So I guess he is paying for it.
00:10:46I didn't mean in a karmic sense.
00:10:48Orson, you know I didn't mean it like that.
00:10:49My gosh, you've gotten tall.
00:10:51Can we go inside?
00:10:53I just need to know if your father sent the transcripts.
00:10:55It was the one thing he was supposed to do.
00:10:58He just got out of the fucking hospital.
00:11:00Whoa, whoa, hey, Orson, we don't talk that way to one another.
00:11:03You just try to use constructive language, please.
00:11:10Okay, so, um, kitchen, living room, you remember where everything is.
00:11:16Well, actually, we have moved things around a little since you were last here, and that's my office now.
00:11:21And, uh, Gary's is over there.
00:11:23Clients come around the back.
00:11:25If you see any of them, just ignore them.
00:11:27Some are professionals.
00:11:28Some are even kids from your school.
00:11:30All normal people, just, you know, sad.
00:11:32Um, through here.
00:11:35So, uh, the room you stayed in last time, the ceiling has termite damaged,
00:11:40and then the garage apartment flooded don't even get me started.
00:11:43But the, the bedroom down here is all fixed up, so the whole bottom floor is yours.
00:11:51Oh, uh, Virginia, did you see that I, I left sheets on the dryer?
00:11:55I already make his bed.
00:11:57Yes, I, I, I know, but I, I got him sheets.
00:11:59Special.
00:12:08Where's the bathroom?
00:12:08It's just around the, it's so nice to have you ho, home.
00:12:16Okay, Xander, just try mirroring.
00:12:20So if they smile, if they smile, Xander, can you try holding the smile?
00:12:27It's what people do.
00:12:34You can do it.
00:12:35Here, hold, and let it fade, let it fade.
00:12:39Martin!
00:12:41Are we actually drinking tonight?
00:12:44Or just pretending to drink?
00:12:46Oh, shit.
00:12:49Chop, chop.
00:12:50I'm not dressed.
00:12:50Your clothes are out.
00:12:55Hey, Tess.
00:12:59Tess, you all right?
00:13:01I think John has made you mac and cheese or something.
00:13:04I have to go.
00:13:06Martin's finally inching towards a funding round for his little friend Bart.
00:13:10He knows he can't keep spending our money on his digital child.
00:13:13But I have an actual company that needs saving and you're on the board.
00:13:17It's your fiduciary duty to come and tell me everything's gonna be okay.
00:13:21Sorry, Kant.
00:13:23But you used to love to do your fiduciary duty with me.
00:13:27You're on your own.
00:14:04You look splendid and very handsome.
00:14:08I feel like I'm cosplaying a version of me that would never talk to me.
00:14:11Xander said I look French.
00:14:13Take style advice from a widget or me?
00:14:15Your choice.
00:14:17Don't say widget.
00:14:23So, the Guangzhou factory, it's endless.
00:14:27It's 15 hours ahead too, so I might have to pop out midway tonight.
00:14:34Forgive me.
00:14:51Come and be a winner.
00:14:56Come and be a winner.
00:14:58Come and be a winner.
00:15:05Come and be a winner now.
00:15:15Come and be a winner.
00:15:18Come and be a winner.
00:15:24I'm a puddle.
00:15:26That's it, Duncan.
00:15:28I'm a puddle.
00:15:30Yeah.
00:15:36He's in a very sensitive place right now.
00:15:41I'm a puddle.
00:15:43What the hell?
00:15:45He didn't think you were coming.
00:15:47He begged me to come.
00:15:49Dad.
00:15:50Dad.
00:15:51Dad, you.
00:15:52Don't be mad.
00:15:53Dad.
00:15:54Yeah.
00:15:55Um, I'll go.
00:15:56No.
00:15:56He wants to leave.
00:15:57Speak to Dad.
00:15:59Dad.
00:15:59Dad.
00:15:59Dad.
00:16:02Dad.
00:16:02Dad.
00:16:02What do you wish to say to him?
00:16:09I'm rich.
00:16:11That's great.
00:16:13Dad.
00:16:14Dad.
00:16:16Dad.
00:16:17Dad.
00:16:19Dad.

00:17:09You good?
00:17:10Yeah, yeah, I'm fine.
00:17:11Fine.
00:17:15You must be the gentleman from the VA?
00:17:17Yeah, that's right. Just here.
00:17:21We used to run the world, Jeffrey.
00:17:24Now we rent server space
00:17:26from the bastards who broke it.
00:17:28Good grief.
00:17:30Oh, shit.
00:17:30Ruffage?
00:17:33Generalissimo.
00:17:34General Don Voorhees, Jeffrey Hart.
00:17:37Hi. Nice to meet you.
00:17:39What are you doing here?
00:17:40Oh, it's time to solve the backlog at the VA.
00:17:43Well, prepare to die with your boots on, boys.
00:17:46Well, about to meet with Tim.
00:17:49Just met with Tim.
00:17:50DOD arranged a conference in partnership with Cupertino.
00:17:53Technology of Defense.
00:17:55Because millionaire Jagovs love these things.
00:17:58Yeah, nice.
00:18:00Nice.
00:18:00Hey, you know, tell me to get lost, but, uh,
00:18:03what if I spoke about our initiative at your conference?
00:18:07You know, make them feel like heroes for helping the actual heroes?
00:18:10Maybe.
00:18:12Maybe.
00:18:12Major Marcia?
00:18:13Maybe.
00:18:15We'll let you know.
00:18:16Okay.
00:18:22Maybe.
00:18:24Guy fired me ten years ago.
00:18:27Prick.
00:18:34Goddammit.
00:18:35Hi.
00:18:36Hi.
00:18:36I'm Anushka Bhattachera, Director of Ethical Innovation.
00:18:40Tim Kwan, Corp Dev.
00:18:41Jeffrey Hart, Assistant to the Deputy Undersecretary.
00:18:44Uh, Tom Ruffage, Deputy Undersecretary Veterans Affairs.
00:18:48All right.
00:18:50Oh, just here?
00:18:51Yeah.
00:18:51Oh, yeah, sure.
00:18:52Okay.
00:18:54But, uh, will the other Tim be joining?
00:18:59Big Tim only shows up when the contours are delimited.
00:19:03Uh-huh.
00:19:04So, uh, you guys got a traffic jam needs clearing.
00:19:08Yeah, we do indeed.
00:19:10Tim, Big Tim, he likes things super direct.
00:19:15Mm-hmm.
00:19:15Uncluttered, right?
00:19:17So, straightforwardly, what's the quant been for us?
00:19:24I'm still pretending to know what delimited contours means.
00:19:29Quant-ben is quantifiable benefits.
00:19:32Got it.
00:19:33Yeah.
00:19:35Well, I mean, uh, I don't know.
00:19:38Uh, you're here.
00:19:41You live here.
00:19:43And you and me and Jeffrey and Anushka and Big Tim, we're all here.
00:19:48There are men and women who fought for us to be here and live like this.
00:19:57You know, free to make a business, to speak our minds, to make ungodly sums of money.
00:20:03But for the men and the women who actually put themselves on the front lines
00:20:11to defend the socioeconomic system in which you and your company thrive,
00:20:16I mean, they're not even asking you for a favor.
00:20:19In fact, they want to pay you a quarter of a billion dollars.
00:20:26It's for your help.
00:20:30So, us helping you do the work is kind of like, I don't know, um, France helping your mother set
00:20:39up her printer.
00:20:40You know?
00:20:42France, but with, like, much, much, much more money than France.
00:20:47Yeah.
00:20:48Oh, you guys get it?
00:20:49Oh, yeah. Okay. Yeah.
00:20:50We, we, of course, recognize the sacrifice of your, your people.
00:20:58They're struggling.
00:20:59And we, we feel that.
00:21:06Oh.
00:21:07You feel it.
00:21:08Uh-huh.
00:21:09We feel it, guys. We feel it.
00:21:10Thank you. Thank you.
00:21:11Uh-huh.
00:21:11You must be really feeling it.
00:21:13Yeah.
00:21:14Well, thank you, Anushka.
00:21:16This has been, um, what's the opposite of uplifting?
00:21:21Uh, demoralizing.
00:21:22Yeah, demo.
00:21:23Ha-ha.
00:21:24I bet.
00:21:25In these parts.
00:21:26Come on, Jeffrey.
00:21:27We got other meetings.
00:21:36Our 11 o'clock has to postpone until next week.
00:21:41Uh, it's Major Marsha.
00:21:43Boris says you're welcome.
00:21:48You're speaking at the conference.
00:21:50No.
00:21:51DOD will cover a junior suite at the Elysium, if we're all right with sharing.
00:21:55You just need to reserve it on your card, and they will reimburse you.
00:21:59You okay with sharing a suite? I'll, I'll take the couch.
00:22:01No.
00:22:01No.
00:22:02I've been a full-time pain in the ass. You deserve it.
00:22:05Damn!
00:22:06The Elysium is the shit!
00:22:08I thought that guy'd never forgive me.
00:22:11Why?
00:22:12What'd you do to get fired?
00:22:14Doesn't matter now.
00:22:15Booyah!
00:22:29Hello?
00:22:30Honey, we can hear you.
00:22:32No bassoon during office hours.
00:22:36Very sorry about that, Carl.
00:22:39Sorry.
00:22:39It's fine.
00:22:40No, no.
00:22:41No, it's not.
00:22:42This is, this is your time.
00:22:44Well, might as well fill the emptiness with bagpipes or whatever the hell that was.
00:22:50Lord knows I was just gonna complain anyway, and who wants to hear me complain?
00:22:53Boo hoo, poor old rich fart.
00:22:55We all deserve to complain.
00:22:58Not the Richie's.
00:23:01People act like we took something.
00:23:04As if we didn't build everything they touch.
00:23:07Mm-hmm.
00:23:08And we didn't build it to be worshipped.
00:23:09We built it to work, and it does work.
00:23:12But where's our parade?
00:23:15All I see are pitchforks and ingratitude.
00:23:18And I gotta be honest with you, it's starting to make me maybe a little mental.
00:23:23Would you like to starfish, Caro?
00:23:27Okay.
00:23:28Yeah.
00:23:34Great.
00:23:36I'm backsliding, Joanna.
00:23:40This shithill came up to me at Milltown, my haunt, the one place that I could go to in public
00:23:47when no one bothers me.
00:23:48Mm-hmm.
00:23:49And right before I get ready to bite into my T-bone, this stivilling shitstick sits, sits at my table.
00:24:00And he's like, oh, Mr. Mardoff, you're such an inspiration.
00:24:04Of course, he brings up Mardoff's Law.
00:24:06He was admiring you.
00:24:08Doesn't it make you feel even a little bit good to see your legacy in action?
00:24:13Mardoff's Law is something I wrote on a napkin on speed when we still have fax machines.
00:24:17Profits will continue to grow forever, right?
00:24:20Infinite growth.
00:24:21Yes.
00:24:22The logic of the cancer cell.
00:24:23If I could have just reached out and throttled and just squeezed and squeezed that little shit licker's trachea until
00:24:32it buckled and his eyes popped, that would have been a legacy.
00:24:38But I didn't.
00:24:40I didn't.
00:24:42Okay, Zeus.
00:24:45Go get it.
00:24:48Zeus.
00:24:49Come on, buddy.
00:24:51Gotta get it.
00:24:59I'm sorry.
00:25:01I'm sorry.
00:25:06Hey, boy.
00:25:08Trying to teach you some new tricks, huh?
00:25:11A little late for that, don't you think?
00:25:13Tricks are for kids.
00:25:19One day, you're chasing squirrels, and then the next, you're shitting yourself on the good Persian rug.
00:25:27Ain't right.
00:25:34Sorry.
00:25:35The movie owner is on the way.
00:25:37It's pretty good.
00:25:39We'll find out unless we get thrown through the cards.
00:25:51The movie owner is on the way.
00:25:55The movie owner is on the way.
00:25:59They're behind the wall.
00:26:03Linda was just running the way.
00:26:21Oh, stop, stop, hey, hey, thank you for this to you.
00:26:35Oh, damn!
00:26:37Hey! Hey!
00:26:39You had a game. That was a game.
00:26:41Or was it a match?
00:26:42We lost.
00:26:43That's how we learn.
00:26:45Yeah, okay.
00:26:46Okay, Dad.
00:26:49Love you.
00:26:52Oh, look who's alive.
00:26:54Yes, I am alive.
00:26:56Anton came over for a session last night.
00:26:59Right.
00:26:59And it was expansive.
00:27:04You really ought to try it.
00:27:06The puke juice? No, thank you.
00:27:08I had a snag at work.
00:27:12A little bit more than a snag, but, Lily,
00:27:15my dad came to me in a vision
00:27:17and showed me a path forward.
00:27:20Right.
00:27:22Guests arrive at 1, Duncan.
00:27:24Guests?
00:27:24The reception?
00:27:26Yes.
00:27:27For Beatrice, the new headmaster
00:27:29at your daughter's school.
00:27:30Nice.
00:27:31I think maybe a shower is in order.
00:27:33Okay.
00:27:34Oh, um, and with regards to our arrangement,
00:27:40and in keeping with what we discussed,
00:27:44I did meet someone in Napa at the Muppes,
00:27:47a Danish CFO.
00:27:50Of course we use protection.
00:27:53Oh.
00:27:54Fun guy.
00:27:56You'd like him.
00:27:57Oh.
00:27:59Oh.
00:28:00I know Anushka was here last night.
00:28:03So, that's back on.
00:28:05You were supposed to tell me.
00:28:06No, no, no.
00:28:08She...
00:28:10That's all in the past.
00:28:11She was here as a friend.
00:28:12Right.
00:28:14Danish CEO?
00:28:15CFO.
00:28:17Okay.
00:28:18Brush your teeth.
00:28:19Okay.
00:28:19Your breath stinks.
00:28:20Yeah.
00:28:27Oh, Rodrigo.
00:28:29You're fired.
00:28:30Good one.
00:28:30No, you're fired.
00:28:31You told Lily Anushka was here last night.
00:28:33What?
00:28:33No, I didn't.
00:28:34Yes, you did.
00:28:36Lucky?
00:28:36Yeah.
00:28:37So, that dragon tattoo chick,
00:28:39I need that algo she did on that guy
00:28:40that was doing that thing that one time.
00:28:42Is that illegal?
00:28:43No.
00:28:44No.
00:28:44It's not illegal.
00:28:46We'll just frown upon.
00:28:47Okay.
00:28:47Hold on.
00:28:48Yep.
00:28:49Lucky, are you still there?
00:28:50Yeah, I'm here.
00:28:51Okay, listen to me.
00:28:51It was Napa Valley, 29th, and the mud baths.
00:28:55Got it.
00:28:55Danish CFO.
00:28:57Like, you know...
00:28:59Get me that code monkey with the pink hair.
00:29:02The none of the above with the door knocker in her nose.
00:29:04Sorry, their nose.
00:29:05Just get her.
00:29:05On it, Duncan.
00:29:11Hey, uh, get up.
00:29:13What is this?
00:29:14Get up from behind my desk with him.
00:29:16Did anyone see you sitting there?
00:29:17I don't think so.
00:29:18How's progress?
00:29:19Uh, the gentleman from the Napa mud baths is now in Copenhagen.
00:29:23Okay.
00:29:24Get him.
00:29:25What's the problem?
00:29:26In Europe, this is against...
00:29:27This is America.
00:29:28We have our own rules here.
00:29:29I mean, we play football with a football.
00:29:31Okay.
00:29:32Um, this ALGO is an AI-powered threat shield intended to protect people and their privacy.
00:29:37I know.
00:29:37I've seen it.
00:29:38And I find its scope annoyingly narrow.
00:29:41It synthesizes socials, biometrics, financials.
00:29:44Your current ALGO is just a data aggregator that can account for orphaned infosets.
00:29:49Which is fine for your corporate clients, but not performant under data-rich scenarios.
00:29:55So...
00:29:57This is...
00:29:58I mean, it can capture someone's entire digital footprint in a heartbeat.
00:30:03Now you're making my heartbeat.
00:30:05Its scope is basically God's eye.
00:30:08Good.
00:30:09Super-scopey, though.
00:30:10But in the wrong hands, it could...
00:30:12It could...
00:30:12You...
00:30:12Whose hands are you talking about?
00:30:14My hands?
00:30:16Hmm?
00:30:17Listen, you make a...
00:30:18A wrench, right?
00:30:19And I buy that wrench.
00:30:21Right?
00:30:23If I fix a leak or break someone's kneecap with it,
00:30:25it's not up to the wrench, girl.
00:30:27But my ALGO isn't intended-
00:30:28No, my ALGO.
00:30:29Mine.
00:30:30You work here.
00:30:31You developed it.
00:30:32Here.
00:30:33It is mine.
00:30:34Or do you want me to slap you with the lawsuit?
00:30:37If you did that, I would quit, obviously.
00:30:39And then one of your other employees would need to be capable of supervising, which they're...
00:30:45not.
00:30:49Lucky, can you give us the room?
00:30:54I told you to fix the door.
00:30:56Sorry.
00:30:58Um...
00:30:58Mr. Park, there are rules.
00:31:00Rules are designed to keep morons in line.
00:31:02Are you a moron?
00:31:03No, you aren't.
00:31:04And think about it, okay?
00:31:06What if this ALGO ends up protecting evildoers when it should be exposing them?
00:31:12Hmm?
00:31:13Who's gonna...
00:31:14Who's gonna make that call?
00:31:15You?
00:31:15Every time?
00:31:18Yeah.
00:31:18How about we develop this?
00:31:20Hmm?
00:31:20Right?
00:31:21I'll give you the resources you need.
00:31:24Don't you want to see the rocket you built punch a hole in the sky?
00:31:27Isn't that why you came to the valley?
00:31:30Yeah.
00:31:32Okay, so how godlike is this?
00:31:34Omniscience?
00:31:35Semi-deity omniscience?
00:31:36Omniscience.
00:31:38What's that?
00:31:38We're about to find out.
00:31:48Here.
00:31:49Spoof it from this number.
00:31:56Lily?
00:31:58I was just thinking about your young self.
00:32:01Hello?
00:32:02Hi?
00:32:04Hey, hi, there.
00:32:05Hang on.
00:32:08What was it?
00:32:10Press releases, personal calendars, text chains, posts, search engine requests, shopping...
00:32:14That's a big boat.
00:32:15Oh?
00:32:15It's really...
00:32:17He's handsome.
00:32:18Yeah.
00:32:19You know...
00:32:21How much does he make?
00:32:24Fuck.
00:32:26Okay.
00:32:28He got a tonsillectomy when he was a kid.
00:32:30I did too.
00:32:31He likes sweet beer, herring, anal.
00:32:36Okay.
00:32:36Okay.
00:32:37Do you want more of the sex stuff?
00:32:38Because I can tweak it to you.
00:32:39No, no, no.
00:32:41It's...
00:32:43Okay.
00:32:50This is, um...
00:32:54This is a thing.
00:33:00Good work.
00:33:06Hey.
00:33:07I don't know your name.
00:33:08What is it?
00:33:09Harper.
00:33:09Harper.
00:33:09Harper.
00:33:10Hi.
00:33:11Um...
00:33:11I can count on your complete discretion with this.
00:33:15Right?
00:33:16What do you want?
00:33:17Um...
00:33:17I want to get you something.
00:33:19I...
00:33:20What do you need?
00:33:21What do you need?
00:33:21Anything?
00:33:21An office of my own.
00:33:43Jameson.
00:33:44Hey, kiddo.
00:33:45What are you up to these days?
00:33:48Soccer tournament?
00:33:49Stalker tournament.
00:33:50That sounds...
00:33:51Soccer.
00:33:52Soccer.
00:33:53I prefer skiing and squash, but they have wealth connotations.
00:33:56Uh-huh.
00:33:57Soccer's more relatable.
00:33:58Hey, Tessie's here somewhere.
00:34:00You two should get together.
00:34:02When's the last time you guys had a sleepover?
00:34:05Not since, like, seventh grade.
00:34:08Okay, can you just hold that face?
00:34:12I'm building an intelligent entity, more of an autonomous companion for alienated teens,
00:34:17based on personal data ecosystems, but it has been a real slog to replicate a genuine
00:34:23look of bothersomeness.
00:34:24Thanks, Jamie.
00:34:28Okay, just a sec.
00:34:29Sweetie.
00:34:30Sweetie.
00:34:32Next bite of the lemon square tastes exactly like the first.
00:34:36Yeah.
00:34:38I don't know how many of those she's eaten.
00:34:40You try.
00:34:42You try.
00:34:42I mean, it's hard being a parent, right?
00:34:43It's really hard being a mom.
00:34:45It's hard being a mom.
00:35:06Honey, swim first, then eat, just so you don't have any digestion issues in the Park Hofstetter's pool.
00:35:13Can we talk, please?
00:35:15Our next session, in the office.
00:35:17But I'd rather do it now.
00:35:20Duncan, circumstances don't always line with our wishes.
00:35:42Your parents gave you a smartphone?
00:35:45Uh, yeah.
00:35:46Yours don't.
00:35:48Smarts are worse than hard drugs.
00:35:49Twice as addictive.
00:35:51Doesn't every parent here, like, work on tech stuff?
00:35:56Arms dealers don't give their kids landmines.
00:36:34Does your mom still take your body mass index every night?
00:36:37What was her thing?
00:36:38Like, anything over petite, you're 8% less likely to get into a top 10.
00:36:44Amazing.
00:36:45You're your klepto now.
00:36:47It was better pyromania.
00:36:50Hmm.
00:36:51And you have to repeat the 11th grade?
00:36:54Plus community service.
00:36:56And I have to see Dr. Gary.
00:36:57Court ordered.
00:36:59Triple crown.
00:37:00Aw.
00:37:01Poor Tessie.
00:37:03Stealing the flag off the flagpole.
00:37:05Turning the exit signs into no exit signs.
00:37:08So deep.
00:37:10Or just another cry for help.
00:37:13You found me out, Jamie.
00:37:15Just remember, if it comes down to it,
00:37:18it's across the street for attention.
00:37:20Up the road if you want results.
00:37:39Hello.
00:37:40Wow.
00:37:41You're not ashamed to be seen with me?
00:37:43What are you talking about?
00:37:47Everybody from Cupertino?
00:37:48Tim?
00:37:50Little Tim.
00:37:52Guy's staring at me like he's trying to castrate me telepathically.
00:37:56It's working, too.
00:37:58He's just gloating.
00:37:59What?
00:38:00Why?
00:38:01He convinced Brick Tim to shut down the acquisition talks.
00:38:05Mind you, after you leaked the rumor.
00:38:09What did he say?
00:38:10It wasn't there.
00:38:12But I heard he called you a dumb man's genius.
00:38:16At least on someone's genius.
00:38:18Not everybody's asshole.
00:38:20He comes to my house.
00:38:21He comes to my house.
00:38:22He's gloating.
00:38:23That is...
00:38:25How much of my stock do you own, huh?
00:38:27Little Tim Blabs?
00:38:28About the acquisition snafu?
00:38:29To any of these people here?
00:38:30Anyone?
00:38:31He won't.
00:38:32He won't.
00:38:32Yeah, well, he better not.
00:38:34I'm just saying, you stand to lose, too.
00:38:36I know.
00:38:36That's why I had to firewall myself off from all of it.
00:38:39Oh, and yet you still heard him call me a dumbass.
00:38:41That just happened to get through your firewall.
00:38:44The zinger.
00:38:45I mean, he is...
00:38:46He is cutting me off at the balls here.
00:38:49I need you to shut that shit down.
00:38:51Is it the stock you're worried about or your dick?
00:38:54It's one and the same.
00:39:19So this whole experience is, you know, quite out of the box for me.
00:39:24Yeah.
00:39:24It seems everyone is so lovely here.
00:39:27Happy to get to work and bring my daughter to give her the best opportunity.
00:39:31Oh, uh, by the way, Lily knows you came to my session last night?
00:39:36Yeah, I know.
00:39:36I texted her.
00:39:39Why would you do that?
00:39:41Misunderstandings.
00:39:42They're unpredictable, costly, and easily avoidable with a bit of truth.
00:39:45Well, it got lost in translation.
00:39:46She went and banged a guy in Napa.
00:39:49Oh!
00:39:51That is not fucking...
00:39:52I'm sorry.
00:39:52No, I know.
00:39:53I know.
00:39:54I know.
00:39:54I'm sorry.
00:39:55I just wanted to give Lily another respect and agency.
00:39:58Well, mission's super-duper accomplished.
00:40:00Don't.
00:40:01It's...
00:40:01No.
00:40:02Okay.
00:40:03No.
00:40:04Sound like a truffle pig.
00:40:06Don't do that.
00:40:19I want to officially introduce the reason we're all here.
00:40:22An educator who took a top 50 in Pasadena to the top five.
00:40:27Oh, no.
00:40:28Before that, masters from Columbia.
00:40:31Yes.
00:40:31Harvard before that.
00:40:33And a terrifically underprivileged upbringing in Chicago.
00:40:37I knew the minute I heard her speak at the Aspen Education Summit that she was the one to lead
00:40:44us into the future.
00:40:45Raising money off frothy numbers to sugarcoat the rotten apple is what built this town.
00:40:49I give you...
00:40:50It's not fraud.
00:40:51Not now, Duncan.
00:40:52If not now, I will do harm to myself and or others.
00:40:56Jesus, find me.
00:41:01Uh...
00:41:02Goodness.
00:41:03I, um...
00:41:04Should have prepared something.
00:41:07I know you're all ready for a new chapter at Las Altas.
00:41:14Oh.
00:41:15Orson.
00:41:16Hey.
00:41:17I...
00:41:18Uh...
00:41:18I...
00:41:19What?
00:41:20Hey.
00:41:20Hey.
00:41:21Sorry.
00:41:23Ooh.
00:41:26My kid laid a thinker.
00:41:29Let's make this a great year.
00:41:43Hi.
00:41:44Um...
00:41:45This is...
00:41:46This is weird, but I was in there and I saw you take that thing.
00:41:50I don't know what you're talking about, bro.
00:41:52Uh, well, that guy in there.
00:41:54He just...
00:41:55He saw me come out of the library and he might think that I took it.
00:41:58Like, if so facto or whatever.
00:42:03Um...
00:42:19Okay, so listen.
00:42:20I'm in crisis.
00:42:22Right now.
00:42:22This is...
00:42:23You're looking at it.
00:42:25And my therapist, who's supposed to know me better than anyone,
00:42:28thinks I'm a fraud.
00:42:30Okay.
00:42:31Duncan, I...
00:42:32I...
00:42:32I didn't call you a fraud, okay?
00:42:34Well...
00:42:34I said...
00:42:35What I said was that you...
00:42:36You might be committing fraud.
00:42:38What is the difference?
00:42:39You're not a murderer.
00:42:40You're just someone who committed murder.
00:42:41And here, when you use the word fraud in the valley, that's kind of like saying...
00:42:47Good hustle.
00:42:48Okay.
00:42:49I...
00:42:50I...
00:42:51I spoke to a lawyer friend.
00:42:53What?
00:42:53I didn't mention your name or anything.
00:42:56Why would you...
00:42:57Why would you talk to a lawyer?
00:42:58What?
00:42:59Oh...
00:43:00You haven't done anything about this, yet acted on any of it.
00:43:04I've done the analytics.
00:43:06You know, I...
00:43:06I...
00:43:06I bag a high-profile investor, and then everybody forgets about Cupertino, and we grow.
00:43:12We grow.
00:43:13I'm sexy again.
00:43:14Come and get it.
00:43:15But you'd have to lie to do it.
00:43:18It's market manipulation, and it is a felony.
00:43:21A felony.
00:43:23A felony.
00:43:24No.
00:43:25Okay.
00:43:26Here.
00:43:26You...
00:43:27You came here today, right?
00:43:28And I'm just gonna assume to benefit your business, right?
00:43:31So you snarf up a bunch of potential hotshot clients, and they're fucked up kids, and that's...
00:43:36No.
00:43:37I...
00:43:40My child is attending Los Altos.
00:43:42You don't have a child.
00:43:45You just met him.
00:43:48The pooter?
00:43:49Okay.
00:43:50No, I'm sorry.
00:43:51I'm sorry.
00:43:51I think that we should be getting back to your guest.
00:43:53I just had an uh-huh.
00:43:54I did.
00:43:54It's a really good one.
00:43:56Okay.
00:43:57Okay.
00:43:58Okay.
00:43:58Out of all your illustrious clients, right, maybe there is one or two in my arena, or adjacent,
00:44:06and that maybe their business needs aligned with mine.
00:44:10And maybe their personalities match as well.
00:44:12And you could set us up for, I don't know, a lunch, or...
00:44:16Okay.
00:44:16I am not a dating service for businessmen.
00:44:20Duncan, I am a therapist, and you need to respect that.
00:44:24Okay.
00:44:24Life coaches do it all the time.
00:44:26I am not a...
00:44:27I am not a life coach.
00:44:28No.
00:44:29No.
00:44:29I...
00:44:29Listen.
00:44:29I want to continue doing the work.
00:44:31I do.
00:44:32With you.
00:44:32With you.
00:44:34Then I think that you need to face the discomfort of your truths.
00:44:40You pumped your stock.
00:44:43Right?
00:44:45Yeah.
00:44:45And now you want to do more of it?
00:44:48I mean, if the SEC find out, you could go to jail.
00:44:51Jail, don't.
00:44:53Shh.
00:44:54Yeah.
00:44:54Well, you wouldn't be the first CEO to end up there.
00:44:57You make me feel worse.
00:44:59You do.
00:45:00And that is not your job.
00:45:01I'm pretty sure that is the opposite of your job.
00:45:04Okay.
00:45:04Oh, my gosh.
00:45:05This is right here.
00:45:06This is why we have sessions in an office.
00:45:09Boundaries.
00:45:10Okay.
00:45:10Look, I apologize, Duncan, and I am ending this conversation right now.
00:45:16No!
00:45:17Hey, wait, listen.
00:45:17Lily's having an affair.
00:45:23See, I'm just a bit agitated more than usual.
00:45:27And you keep bringing up the SEC and the lawyer and...
00:45:30Well, I am a...
00:45:31Listen, I depend on you.
00:45:33And I respect you.
00:45:35There is...
00:45:39There's no one else.
00:45:50Oh, man, that's a good shower.
00:45:54Yeah.
00:45:56Finally!
00:45:57An ounce of respect for the VA, huh?
00:46:00All right.
00:46:02Oh, and some legit above-board decadence.
00:46:06Yeah, I just wish the meetings went better.
00:46:09Oh, no pouting, Jeffrey.
00:46:10Come on, no feelings in a firefight.
00:46:13Smell this.
00:46:16Bergamot.
00:46:17Smells good.
00:46:17Yeah.
00:46:18Earl Grey, right?
00:46:20Yeah.
00:46:21Come on, look around.
00:46:22We're doing okay.
00:46:23I'm gonna do my pitch tonight.
00:46:26All the wigs will be there.
00:46:27The big ones, the little ones.
00:46:29Hell yeah.
00:46:29I will make my case.
00:46:31I'll be passionate.
00:46:33I'm great when I'm passionate.
00:46:38Do you wanna help me get passionate?
00:46:44Uh, Tom.
00:46:48Yeah.
00:46:49What about the behavioral health forum in Fairlawn, huh?
00:46:52Backseat of that car?
00:46:53Yeah.
00:46:54I got you drunk.
00:46:56Crossed the line.
00:46:57Sorry.
00:46:59But, you know, if I'm being honest, not sorry.
00:47:05I wasn't that drunk.
00:47:12But, uh...
00:47:14Yeah.
00:47:14Yeah.
00:47:17I was younger once, you know.
00:47:19Oh, no.
00:47:19Handsomer.
00:47:20No, no, no.
00:47:21All the officers' wives wanted me.
00:47:24Yeah, you wanted the officers.
00:47:27Yeah.
00:47:29You're still handsome.
00:47:30Mm.
00:47:32And my boss.
00:47:33Yeah.
00:47:34Right.
00:47:35Yeah.
00:47:39You're gonna be great.
00:47:41You know?
00:47:42You can get some.
00:47:44Wow.
00:47:45Yeah.
00:47:46Y'all didn't invent moving fast and breaking things.
00:47:49We did.
00:47:52We need to be agile.
00:47:54And America is the greatest startup of them all.
00:47:57The future is coming.
00:47:59We like that startup energy.
00:48:02Gee, we're gonna require our contractors to look over existing genes.
00:48:07And let us know we're good about this in the first place.
00:48:12Let's go to the movies.
00:48:14Hm?
00:48:18Born from carbon-woven composite skin.
00:48:21Wonderful speech, General.
00:48:23I'm afraid we're gonna have to bump Mr. Ruffage.
00:48:25We'd pay overtime if we go even a minute over.
00:48:27But wait.
00:48:28Since he wasn't part of the original program, is he gonna have trouble reimbursing his room?
00:48:34Yeah.
00:48:35That's $2,100 a night.
00:48:37I mean, you could lie.
00:48:40Say you spoke.
00:48:41Just don't get caught.
00:48:43Don, let me say my piece.
00:48:44Five minutes.
00:48:45That's it.
00:48:46It's not about being reimbursed.
00:48:47It's for the vets.
00:48:49I find it best to leave these decisions to Major Martian.
00:48:55You son of a bitch.
00:48:58You set me up to fuck me down!
00:49:01How long are you gonna hold a grudge?
00:49:03Oh, you know what?
00:49:05To hell with this.
00:49:06I'm speaking.
00:49:07You can just try and stop me.
00:49:18Quack me.
00:49:19Okay.
00:49:25Hey!
00:49:41Hey, handsome.
00:49:42Hey, Dad, how's it going?
00:49:44Not bad, going for an old gazer.
00:49:46How's it going there?
00:49:48When does school start?
00:49:50Day after Labor Day, I think.
00:49:53This place just feels like a weird simmaculum of life.
00:49:58Simulacrum.
00:50:00Simulacrum.
00:50:01There's these clients who pay to come see Mom and Gary on the hour.
00:50:05It's so weird.
00:50:06And there's one guy who's worth like a bazillion dollars,
00:50:08but he's the saddest man you've ever seen.
00:50:11The world there is not the world.
00:50:16Your mother loved it.
00:50:17I did not.
00:50:17Yeah.
00:50:19I really want to come home.
00:50:22Soon.
00:50:23December 19th, the day this semester ends.
00:50:27And I checked on the 21st, BSO's playing Berlioz's Symphony Fantastique.
00:50:32Berlioz.
00:50:34Worst case scenario, you do both semesters out there.
00:50:46Worst case scenario, you do both semesters out there.
00:50:54Shit.
00:51:03Shit.
00:51:12Shit.
00:51:13Shit.
00:51:19Let's go.
00:51:20Let's go.
00:51:50Teresa Pister, 17 years old.
00:51:54Yeah.
00:51:58It's a cesspool of idiots.
00:52:01Guys like me and you making a median wage.
00:52:06Guys who actually make this country run.
00:52:09Mm-hmm.
00:52:09Who need to know what they're doing or else people, real people, will suffer.
00:52:16I mean, what do we get for keeping the wheels on the bus from falling off?
00:52:20Why did, uh, Voorhees fire you?
00:52:24I don't know.
00:52:25Who remembers?
00:52:27I might have bought him for his son.
00:52:32Don Jr.
00:52:34Oof.
00:52:35That's what he wanted to be called.
00:52:38Yeah.
00:52:38Wow.
00:52:39I know.
00:52:40They're military.
00:52:41Like, and should I be all gung-ho like war's my jam?
00:52:44Or is it like, oh, we don't talk about blood and guts and stuff like that?
00:52:49Just be yourself.
00:52:51Who else would I be, huh?
00:52:53Duncan, this is the story you need.
00:52:55Yes.
00:52:55Right, righto.
00:52:56Once more on to the beach.
00:52:57Bye.
00:52:59Hey.
00:53:00Go back to D.C.
00:53:02I need you there.
00:53:04Keep an eye on the jackals.
00:53:05They see safety net and all they think is, where'd I put my scissors?
00:53:09You're staying.
00:53:10Yeah.
00:53:12You hate it here.
00:53:13I hate it everywhere.
00:53:14I complain so much, I've lost track of where things fall on my color wheel of shit.
00:53:20It's all one big brown smear.
00:53:23You'll be pointing D.C., okay?
00:53:26We'll talk every day.
00:53:28Mr. Ruvage.
00:53:29Duncan Park, CEO, Hypernosis.
00:53:32Data analytics.
00:53:33I hear you need a data man to help our fighting men in uniform.
00:53:38And women.
00:53:39Can I get you a round of drinks?
00:53:41Uh, yeah.
00:53:43Yeah, two of those.
00:53:44Uh, gentlemen, what can I, what can I do for, I am sorry, I don't, is it the army?
00:53:51Is it the navy, marines?
00:53:54Uh, air force and coast guard, too.
00:53:57Cowabunga.
00:53:58Right?
00:53:58I mean, what, what can Hypernosis do to help us win our next war?
00:54:03Uh, well, it's really the last war we're still fighting.
00:54:08Okay, of course.
00:54:10Of course.
00:54:11Tracking down the terrorists.
00:54:13So you give us your satellite feed, your secret files, and we, we meld that with our data.
00:54:18We cross it, we blend it, we dig into it, we find the patterns, we find your bad guys, and
00:54:24you just, you just pull the trigger.
00:54:26Done.
00:54:26Win-win.
00:54:27I mean, not for the guys that you're blowing up, but that, no, they're kind of into it, too.
00:54:31It's their martyrdom.
00:54:32So it's, it's actually a win, win, win.
00:54:36That's sort of the slogan for Hypernosis.
00:54:39Ah.
00:54:39Um, it's just, what, we represent America's veterans.
00:54:46We're the V.A.
00:54:58We're the V.A.
00:54:59How'd it go?
00:55:01What's the matter?
00:55:03Duncan, slow down.
00:55:06I told you they were from the V.A.
00:55:08You, you said military.
00:55:10Okay, I need a sexy new client, not old urine-soaked vets with their weird hats and broken brains.
00:55:17I thought you got that.
00:55:18Sorry I hooked you up with a bloody government contract.
00:55:20There are more than one kind, okay?
00:55:22More than one kind.
00:55:23There are self-bombers and secret agents, and then there's distributing colostomy bags in tent cities.
00:55:28These men and women, they fought so that, so that we, we here could be free here.
00:55:37I admire them, and I've seen the alternatives.
00:55:40But I chose to make a life here, and in spite of its flaws, I'm grateful.
00:55:44Well, then you should have had Cupertino be their hero, okay?
00:55:47My company is not your ethical laundromat, okay?
00:55:51I have a reputation, okay?
00:55:57I know it's not great what people say about me, but, but this is not, this is not the story
00:56:04I needed, okay?
00:56:06This is just, this is goodwill fuckery, and your buddy, Little Tim.
00:56:10Little Tim, that's exactly what he's going to say when he leaks the acquisition fail.
00:56:16No.
00:56:17Yes, yes it is.
00:56:18I, I, I see how that guy looks at me.
00:56:21Like, I'm lying in a ditch with my asshole sticking up inside out, so he can drive up with his
00:56:28bodies and go like,
00:56:29Hey guys, isn't that Duncan Park in that ditch with his asshole sticking up inside out?
00:56:34Yeah, I know how people are.
00:56:36Because I'm one of them.
00:56:39I'm a person, and I'm like that.
00:56:41So you're walking away?
00:56:43You're goddamn right, and you're going to tell the VA guys.
00:56:45That is your punishment, okay?
00:56:47Just put them out of their misery.
00:56:49They've probably been to more funerals than birthdays anyway.
00:56:52They can take it.
00:56:53Thanks.
00:56:54Thanks.
00:57:03Message from Harper.
00:57:20You gotta be kidding me.
00:57:29Um, before we start, I think it's important to ensure your commitment to the doctor-patient confidentiality thing.
00:57:38You know everything about me, as it should be.
00:57:41And as you know, I have trust issues.
00:57:46Duncan, where are we going with this?
00:57:49Easier to hear me out.
00:57:51Um, on May 7th, you missed a session due to the flu, but you were actually getting varicose veins removed.
00:58:01Hypernosis, my company, we harvest your data every time you click Agree,
00:58:06and then we put that all into an algorithm that would make the Patriot Act blush.
00:58:10Anything, everywhere, anybody.
00:58:14I know.
00:58:15All that godlike knowledge, and still, Cupertino didn't want us.
00:58:18The thing is, we're not all that unique.
00:58:23The amount of companies with as much or more capability than the NSA would give you nightmares.
00:58:29Here, Russia, China, India, they all have what I have on you.
00:58:34If they only cared to look.
00:58:36Duncan, um, I fear that you may be having a psychotic episode.
00:58:43Half of it's public filings and court cases, like how you and your ex-husband both try to dodge custody
00:58:47of the kid.
00:58:49Pretty sure a little Orweb would love to hear that.
00:58:55Okay.
00:58:57Okay.
00:58:58You need to leave.
00:59:01Right now.
00:59:02You need to face the discomforts of your truths, Jojo.
00:59:09When I told you my company was in trouble, within 53 seconds of me leaving this office, you sold your
00:59:15shares.
00:59:15And I was like, what?
00:59:17That hurt.
00:59:18No faith in Dunkey?
00:59:20And then I asked myself, I was like, why did she have shares in my company?
00:59:25Sounds like a conflict of interest.
00:59:27No?
00:59:27Oh my goodness, could it be?
00:59:29Yes.
00:59:30Yes, it is.
00:59:32You've been running a magnificent scam on all your high-end, blubbering billionaire clients.
00:59:37You, the trusted repository of the Valley's ultimate insider information.
00:59:43VC agonizing about an upcoming earnings call sell.
00:59:47CEO hopes his wife finally respects him after an upcoming secret merger.
00:59:51Bye.
00:59:53What's the harm?
00:59:54Except it's a felony and you can go to jail for it.
00:59:56Duncan, this is madness.
00:59:58You are confabulating and it's a concern.
01:00:03That superior tone is something I really would like you to work on.
01:00:07Sit.
01:00:08Sit, please.
01:00:11We're both flawed human beings, you and I.
01:00:16With your degree, you could have chosen to help filthy city urchins with their nasty demons.
01:00:21But no, no, no, you planted yourself in the single richest enclave in America to help cure the scourge for
01:00:28performance anxiety.
01:00:30Sudden wealth syndrome?
01:00:31No.
01:00:33You profited.
01:00:35It really is okay and you'll still profit.
01:00:38Me too.
01:00:41Because you're going to ditch all that life-giving dirt to me.
01:00:46Not today, though.
01:00:47No.
01:00:48Today, I feel comfortable.
01:00:51Earthed.
01:00:53There's level ground between us.
01:00:56Feels better, right?
01:00:59So can we please, just, please, talk about my dad?
01:01:21Hello?
01:01:24Hello?
01:01:24Hello?
01:01:25Hello?
01:01:39You are inviting a pushback that is going to feel like the wrath of God.
01:01:44Ow!
01:01:44Dad, you're like having a breakdown.
01:01:49Hypergnomes, assemble!
01:01:51We're gonna make money!
01:01:53Ten million data points on every person from birth.
01:01:56You're not predicting behavior.
01:01:58You're steering it.
01:02:00Your algorithm says all that?
01:02:02Yes!
01:02:04That's the kind of tech that could help people.
01:02:07My patients have dangerous, violent tendencies.
01:02:11I just want to crush them.
01:02:14What is your deal, bro?
01:02:17I know tech changed the world, but so did the bubonic plague.
01:02:22I don't get it, you're bot.
01:02:23Is it a moron?
01:02:24I mean, is it based on a moron?
01:02:26Gun, gun!
01:02:28You do not want this guy running your company.
01:02:30Hey!
01:02:31Whoa!
01:02:34Prepare to have your mind blown.
01:02:40Welcome to the table read of The Audacity.
01:02:43First block.
01:02:46It's about to get real.
01:02:49The Audacity.
01:02:50Episode 101.
01:02:52We follow up a Silicon Valley CEO.
01:02:55Duncan Park.
01:02:5640s.
01:02:57Biohacked.
01:02:57And bespectacled.
01:02:58In episode one, the first thing that I wrote down was Duncan's opening line.
01:03:03More than physical pain?
01:03:05I fear humiliation.
01:03:07And it felt like it was being said to somebody in confidence.
01:03:11Angle on Dr. Joanne Felder, psychologist, 40s.
01:03:14She kind of runs the Valley's mindset or the psychology.
01:03:19The lost man children.
01:03:20It became a question of how can we make this relationship more than just therapist-patient.
01:03:25They start the season a little bit in performance of themselves, especially Joanne.
01:03:29She's like playing the good therapist.
01:03:32When word gets out, how will that make you feel?
01:03:36And when do you expect that to be?
01:03:40Let's see what happens when you are a powerful person discussing corporate secrets, successes
01:03:45and failures in a therapeutic setting.
01:03:48And what does the therapist do with the information, which is essentially insider information?
01:03:53Really, this is strictly between us.
01:03:58Schmuck.
01:03:58It was fun also doing some therapy scenes with Zack.
01:04:02Would you like to starfish, Carol?
01:04:04Okay.
01:04:05Yeah.
01:04:06Bardolph is, he's an angry man and very resentful and feels like he has never gotten his flowers
01:04:13that he deserves as being one of the pioneers of Silicon Valley.
01:04:18His main problem is greed, like most of the characters.
01:04:22Doesn't it make you feel good to see your legacy in action?
01:04:27Legacy, jeez.
01:04:28Bardolph's Law is something I wrote on in.
01:04:30On speed, when we still have fast machines.
01:04:34The doctor-patient confidentiality thing, just how airtight is that?
01:04:37I can't speak with anyone about what you say, not unless you're meaning to do harm to yourself
01:04:42or others.
01:04:43I grew up in a house with a psychiatrist and a therapist, with their offices in the house.
01:04:50And I could hear the patients.
01:04:52I was a teenager and I chose not to listen to them because they were mostly really boring,
01:04:57but I could listen to them.
01:04:58It's that sort of funny faith that this room's a safe space.
01:05:03Why?
01:05:04What's so safe about it?
01:05:05When I told you my company was in trouble within 53 seconds of me leaving this office,
01:05:10you sold your shares.
01:05:11These two seemingly are so different, but then they actually have a lot in common.
01:05:17She is shown to be somebody with ethical lapses who cuts corners herself.
01:05:23It really is okay and you'll still profit.
01:05:25Me too.
01:05:26Because you're going to dish all that life-giving dirt to me.
01:05:30End of episode.
01:06:09You're going to dish all that life-giving dirt to me.
