00:25There's some Coast Guard
00:29mixed in there, so make sure you separate by branch, all right?
00:31Oh, hey, if these are uncoded, set them aside.
00:33Mumps are in charge.
00:35This is their time.
00:36They wrote this code before you were born.
00:38Before I was born.
00:40All right, who's the lucky soldier?
00:43Mary Cardenas, Sergeant First Class, U.S. Army.
00:47Amputee, huh?
00:49Yeah, maybe.
00:50Hey, Ben, you want to shoot this through for me real quick?
01:01Incoming.
01:01Got it?
01:02Hey, Anushka.
01:03Come here, check this out.
01:07What about her, huh?
01:10Mary Cardenas.
01:12Yeah.
01:13All right?
01:14Okay.
01:14All right.
01:15Send it through to Nune.
01:27Evergreen Cemetery.
01:33Hello?
01:34Hi, Mary Cardenas.
01:35Am I pronouncing that right?
01:36Yeah.
01:37Who's this?
01:37Hi, Mary.
01:38My name is Alexander.
01:39I'm calling from Veterans Affairs.
01:41Is this a good time to talk?
01:42Well, shit, I have been trying to get a hold of someone for weeks.
01:46Told me I should go wait in the line.
01:47I'm sorry about that, Mary.
01:48We're terribly understaffed.
01:50We owe you better.
01:51That's why I'm calling.
01:52I see you need a couple prescriptions refilled.
01:54Pain management is no joke.
01:56Can I take care of that?
01:57That would be great.
01:58Your usual pharmacy on Bradford Avenue?
02:00Can I ask, how are you sleeping?
02:01Like shit.
02:02I bet.
02:03And today, of course, must be challenging.
02:06You're going to go to Evergreen Cemetery?
02:07How did you know I was...
02:08You lost a friend and a leg, Mary.
02:10Can't imagine what that feels like.
02:13Actually, what does it feel like to have a leg?
02:15Sorry, what?
02:17After your leg was blown off, did you keep fighting?
02:19That's got to have been difficult.
02:20Hopping and shooting at the same time.
02:22The recoil alone, very destabilizing.
02:24What the hell?
02:25And if someone challenged you to a foot race, would you say they were being mean or statistically confident?
02:29What the fuck?
02:30Did you just say to me?
02:31Oh my God.
02:32Cut him off.
02:32Cut him off.
02:33I'm transferring.
02:33Come on.
02:35Mary.
02:35Hi.
02:36Tom Ruffage from the VA.
02:37I am so sorry.
02:38My colleague is...
02:42He's been through a lot.
02:44Uh-huh.
02:45Yeah.
02:46I don't get it.
02:47You're bot.
02:47Is it a moron?
02:49I mean, is it based on a moron?
02:50He was raised to be curious.
02:53He was being curious.
02:54Right.
02:54Well, it wasn't your brief to drive that.
02:55It's a homicidal rage.
02:56Nodin just exponentially upped Xander's computing storage.
02:59It was like a shot of adrenaline into a toddler's heart.
03:02And yet, 93% of that exchange was perfect.
03:04You're like on an interstellar voyage and complaining about the snacks.
03:08So he's a toddler?
03:09No.
03:10Developmentally, he's still about 14, maybe 15 years old.
03:13Why did you think that Opie was the right avatar to talk to vets?
03:17You need to rejigger your doodad.
03:19Make him a man, for Christ's sakes.
03:23Yeah.
03:23Uh, well, Mary's going to be okay, but that was cruel.
03:26We've got to slow down.
03:27There.
03:28Based on Tom, Tom's perfect.
03:30Warrior, sensitive, what have you.
03:32Emotional age past puberty.
03:34Yeah, I don't know about all that, but, um, Xander's not ready.
03:37No, we demoed this Saturday at WatchCode.
03:39Our future as a company...
03:40He just mocked a vet.
03:42Pumped the brakes.
03:42No, he wasn't mocking her.
03:44He was attempting to connect with her.
03:46Martin will fix his robot.
03:47Do not call him a robot.
03:49Quiet.
03:49Sorry.
03:49Autonomous wanker.
03:51I'm here to help.
03:52If Alexander and I are not providing the crime...
03:56Okay, well, it's no-no, so bugger off.
03:59Okay, okay, look.
04:00We can stabilize him with some off-the-shelf AI.
04:04Put a new face on him, I don't know, but this is not viable.
04:07How dare you?
04:08He's viable.
04:09He shat the bed and rolled around it, and you're asking why he stinks?
04:21The licensing deal I signed with you gives me final say on all developmental matters, unless
04:25you wish to buy Xander outright, and the going rate for tech like this is ten figures.
04:29Oh, there is no other tech like Xander.
04:31AGI is the holy grail, and I'm some fucking Galahad.
04:35You're right, Martin.
04:36You are one of one.
04:37It is understood.
04:43You're going to handle this?
04:44Oh, yes.
04:46Tell me the truth.
04:48You thought he would be worth more by now.
04:50He is a genius, you know.
04:51Do not buy into that genius bullshit.
04:55Around here, you fart, and three of them line up to debate plume dynamics.
04:59You need him to hit a product ship date.
05:02Persuade him.
05:02He'll bend.
05:03A guy like that knows you're out of his league.
05:05I can see it from here.
05:06Carl, that's really not any of your business.
05:08Okay, okay, listen.
05:09You have a company to run and a job to save.
05:12Make him feel like he's a big boy.
05:13Have a little fun with him.
05:15You know what Lorraine's secret is?
05:19A little backdoor diplomacy and never neglect the twins.
05:30Next time you say something like that, give me a chance to hit record first.
05:35Hey, Tom?
05:36Tommy!
05:38There you are.
05:39I need your biometrics.
05:40Let's go, soldier.
05:48The amount of stomach acid we excreted.
05:51We're going to get thrown out of our house.
05:52We're going to live on the streets.
05:54I mean, just some investment group buying up rental properties.
05:59And here we are, safe and sound.
06:02It's pretty funny.
06:03We're hysterical.
06:05I mean, one of us was.
06:08Same exact rent.
06:09Alvin was charging us.
06:10I mean, the whole thing is just puppeteer real estate holdings.
06:15There you go.
06:17Just in time for the after school rush.
06:20Okay, darling.
06:24See you on the other side.
06:25Have a good one.
06:26You too.
06:30It's this music box with a bellerina in it.
06:34And she pirouettes.
06:35It terrified me.
06:36And this memory is bothering you?
06:40Of course it is.
06:41It's likely being triggered by your current stress.
06:47I mean, the merger is completely off.
06:52Did I hear that right?
06:53Because the disappointment of that could be dredging up old, painful memories and fear.
07:02Does Peter, does your husband not have any new potential buyers for his company?
07:09It's a PR problem.
07:11I don't know.
07:12Isn't Mixie just DNA and family trees?
07:16People didn't know.
07:16They might someday watch their own DNA get sold off.
07:20No, sure.
07:21That is, uh...
07:23You know, he's a big company.
07:24Like, if they don't do it, Peter is beside himself.
07:28It's like this feeling of terror, which I'm sure you're right.
07:32It's associated with that music box.
07:34I can still hear the tune in my head.
07:36Yeah.
07:36Do, do, do.
07:38Uh-huh.
07:39You know?
07:40Okay, see you soon.
07:42Great work.
07:42Yes, I'm always here for you.
07:43Thanks.
07:44Okay.
07:45Okay.
07:59Well, we were discussing the last time that you maybe met someone who got you.
08:06Um, somebody who was, in your words,
08:10turned out to be another creep.
08:15Can I turn this on?
08:17Hmm.
08:18Is it stuffy in here?
08:19I can open a window.
08:20No.
08:20No, no, don't do that.
08:31Okay.
08:32I have something to say.
08:35Do I?
08:39I'm retiring.
08:41Being the odd one out is exhausting.
08:45So I'm done.
08:46No more juvie, judges, psychiatrists.
08:52I'm officially committing to my category.
08:55My dad's rich.
08:58My trauma's just all drama.
09:02I'm built to brunch.
09:06You win, universe.
09:09I'm her now.
09:26Get out of my way, creeper.
09:28I wasn't listening.
09:29I could have, but I didn't.
09:31Oh, trophy for you, Xander.
09:33I'm breezy's gonna leave.
09:34We need to talk.
09:35No.
09:36We don't.
09:37There's no we.
09:38Seriously?
09:39Seriously?
09:39I'd think twice before shitting on your only friend like this.
09:42You and I are not now, nor have we ever been.
09:45Fine, you're my BFF.
09:46Now can you leave me the fuck alone?
09:47What's going on?
09:50Move, or I'll tell them all about your creepy little secret.
09:54It's not your business, Gary.
09:56Get in my clothes!
09:57Hey, hey, you guys.
09:58Whoa.
09:59Hey.
10:00Oi, hey.
10:00Now put your hands on other people.
10:01Get in the cloth.
10:03Not except for that.
10:04Not my dad.
10:05I don't need you being a cocked voice.
10:15Susie, it's okay.
10:16It's okay.
10:16It's okay.
10:18You're not going to eat your flesh?
10:20No.
10:21It's here.
10:22You're afraid I'm going to tell Mom?
10:25I won't.
10:26You know, you're a teenager.
10:28Rebel a little bit.
10:30You took my phone away for a month for stealing your cube.
10:34So you did steal my cube.
10:35No.
10:36Yes.
10:36I didn't.
10:36Yes, you did.
10:40Oh, Carl.
10:42How you doing?
10:44Here's my daughter, Jameson.
10:45Jameson called Bardoff.
10:47You have no shame, do you?
10:49Are you kidding?
10:50I'm shame-fueled.
10:51It's kind of like my cardio.
10:52Anyway, she wanted to come here.
10:53Best milkshakes in the valley, right?
10:56My daddy used to take me for frosted bundt cake, size of a tire, and then he would whisper
11:03in my ear, I'll be back in an hour, pudding head.
11:09And I would eat it up, because I was sweet and stupid.
11:15I got my cake, and my dad got his alibi.
11:19Always know when you're being used.
11:21Carl has issues.
11:23I just thought you'd be curious to hear what I've been up to.
11:26I know what you've been up to.
11:27Privacy is not a thing anymore.
11:28That is not a company.
11:29That is a temper tantrum.
11:30No, it's disruptive.
11:31You think no one's ever thought about making private data public?
11:35You know what's never happened?
11:37Because those that tried got crushed.
11:39First, by regulations.
11:40Oh, regulations, you know, are deliberate.
11:42And by brutal lawsuits.
11:43I don't choose what people...
11:44Those regulations that nobody has the balls to pass might finally pass because of you,
11:49for demonstrating their obvious need.
11:51Yeah, you'd be real popular around here after that.
11:53I never thought I would see Carl Bardoff so scared.
11:55Why'd you come in here, Park?
11:56Why?
11:57For my blessing?
11:58My approval?
11:59Why?
11:59Because Daddy didn't know how to love you?
12:01Well, join the fucking club.
12:03And I hope you never have to, sweetheart.
12:07Chicks are on me.
12:09Finish them up and leave.
12:10I bought the place so I can kick anybody I don't want.
12:12Oh.
12:13And I hope your dad's dumbass idea does not detonate your life.
12:17It's not dumbass.
12:18Everything you do is dumbass.
12:19Come on, let's go to Jim Jim.
12:21Okay.
12:23Hey, Duncan.
12:28Infinite growth isn't for everyone.
12:32Come on.
12:40I don't like being alone.
12:42Working alone.
12:45It's the ultimate test.
12:48I know.
12:49I know.
12:50If Hindenburg had a buddy while flying across the Atlantic,
12:54no one would have heard of him.
12:55But alone is like, even if you do good, no one to high five.
13:01So is this about business stuff or Lily stuff?
13:06You.
13:07You're not a good partner.
13:08I saw you messing around in the account.
13:11Yeah.
13:11Started making some money, too.
13:12And then you withdrew.
13:14Just the profits as if I wouldn't notice.
13:17Where'd you put the winnings?
13:19Okay.
13:20Maybe we should just focus on your...
13:22Tell me about your father.
13:23I asked you a question.
13:25I think I really deserve an answer, actually.
13:28What did you do with the money you made off the money I gave you?
13:35I created my own shell company.
13:38It wasn't hard.
13:39There's plenty of videos online that walk you right through it.
13:42Yeah, I layered it with trusts and foundations.
13:45And it was disturbingly easy, actually.
13:47Because you told me that you were spying.
13:50Spying?
13:52We are partners.
13:54I don't remember signing that agreement.
13:56Well, yes, you did.
13:57I gave you money to place bets.
14:00You didn't have to, but you did.
14:01You took and used the dirty, dirty Dunkin' money and made money.
14:06So by law, you accepted whatever terms that apply.
14:10By law.
14:11Partners.
14:13Can't have it both ways.
14:15No.
14:16Yes.
14:17Yes.
14:17I invested it because it was for a good cause.
14:22Oh, what cause?
14:23Whales, lipless babies, or was it the Joanne Felder Fund for funding Felder's?
14:28And oh yeah, you live in my house basically for free.
14:33I don't think I'm being unreasonable, partner.
14:37What were the picks?
14:39Well, no doubt you saw, I bought Mixie.
14:42M-Y-X-Y.
14:43Yeah, yeah.
14:44Why?
14:44The husband of one of my clients is the founder and CEO.
14:48Okay.
14:49Okay, and he told her they were being acquired, but...
14:53But he lied to his wife.
14:56Turns out I'm not that smart.
14:57So maybe you want to find yourself a new partner.
15:00No, no, no, no, no.
15:01You believed it because she believed it.
15:04And he needed her to believe that he wasn't a loser.
15:06Otherwise...
15:07He might start to believe he was one.
15:10Fear of humiliation is behind every little lie.
15:13But also, I wanted to believe it.
15:16Everyone spins, even to themselves.
15:19You shouldn't have boxed me out.
15:22So what?
15:22You lost some money.
15:24Don't box me out.
15:26Well, they're likely filing for Chapter 11 any day now.
15:31So you should probably short it.
15:35You're welcome.
15:57Ooh, smells like jerky and acid here, guys.
15:59Listen, I'd be done with vests.
16:02I am de-vesting.
16:03No more founder core for this maverick man here.
16:06So who wants a vest?
16:08Too hot for indoors.
16:09Not warm enough for outdoors.
16:11But I'm telling you, instant credibility.
16:14Can't tie a vest around your waist.
16:15Screw you.
16:16Okay, try layering without ball.
16:18Um, okay, tell me.
16:20Buzz Factor.
16:20Yeah, we dropped the Panetta subscription model on a threat for sleepless, sexless tech bros.
16:25And within 37 seconds, they were drooling.
16:27Like posting pics of literal drool.
16:31Literally drooling.
16:33We're hit.
16:34Then they gropped to the notion that they can be doxxed, too.
16:36Fear and loathing.
16:37That's what makes the world go round.
16:38Well, when everyone can see everybody's everything and it is our fault, we're going to get burned alive.
16:43No, we'll make a splash and then we'll be wet.
16:46What?
16:47Hey, buck up.
16:49Guys, listen, everyone.
16:50We are truth tellers.
16:52Truth tellers historically get burned alive.
16:56Listen, let's just nail this next piece, right?
16:59And I will get you the best, most perfect antidepressant tailored just for you.
17:03I promise.
17:04Now, did you find the guy with the treasure trove?
17:06Yep, he is at a Zen temple in Santa Clara.
17:11Fantastic.
17:13Okay, send it to me at my car.
17:16Hey.
17:17Hey, I gotta go.
17:19Okay, so tomorrow night is the dress rehearsal for Saturday's winter gala for Los Altos, the fundraiser.
17:26They have an invited dress rehearsal for the kids' presentation and Jamie's getting a special thing as one of the
17:33athletes.
17:33Anyway, I can't go and she wants one of us there, so that leaves.
17:40Thelma.
17:41You.
17:41No, she loves Thelma and Thelma will like it.
17:44Make her feel part of the family.
17:45Just send her.
17:47Thelma, how do you?
17:49What, have you ever come to Fiji for Christmas?
17:51Yeah.
17:51Are you going to be part of the family?
17:53You thought, you thought the villa came with service.
17:55I still think about that.
17:57Then we gave her that bracelet as a Christmas bracelet.
18:00Yeah.
18:00She still wears it all the time.
18:02She ever gets it appraised.
18:03I think it's pewter.
18:04I told you to give her taffy.
18:06I have a little speech ready.
18:07I'm blaming it on an Israeli jeweler.
18:09Oh, I got your back.
18:10So, the rehearsal.
18:13Why can't you go?
18:14I was stripped of my presidency.
18:17The board's going to be there.
18:19Right.
18:19Beatrice.
18:20Pipitane.
18:21Yes, right.
18:22I'll go.
18:22I will sit through an evening of kids being praised for things they'll never do professionally.
18:26You get so close to being a person and then...
18:30This is the shape I come in.
18:31All right.
18:32Yeah.
18:34Okay.
18:36Okay.
18:52What's your name?
18:55Who's the name?
18:56What's your name?
18:56What's your name?
18:57What's your name?
18:57What's your name?
18:59I love you.
19:00I love you.
19:03What's your name?
19:05How do you want?
19:28You know, it just seems like a guy could just, you know.
19:34It's not, uh...
19:35Sorry, not what?
19:37It's not supposed to do it like that, but...
19:40Oh, yeah.
19:41And yet I'm here, you know.
19:42Who said shortcuts don't work?
19:45It's Murphy, right?
19:48Our daughters are on Los Altos soccer together.
19:51Oh, okay.
19:52But, um, there's no talking in here, so...
19:55And yet here I am again, making mouth noises.
19:59I actually came here to talk to you.
20:02To commune with you.
20:04Murphy, I've been looking for you for ages before I even knew your name.
20:12Can we do whatever this is after, or...?
20:16Listen, I get it.
20:17You have decisions on your mind, right?
20:20You're the CEO of my ex-wife, Mixie.
20:24Otherwise, it sounds like my ex-wife.
20:27And Carol's not that.
20:28Not yet.
20:29Was it some kind of an ambush or something?
20:32Because I don't know.
20:33I'd appreciate you coming.
20:34Sure, sure, sure, sure.
20:35Yeah, yeah, yeah.
20:36But, uh...
20:37I did hear Univy left you high and dry.
20:40And no one wants to touch you or your company.
20:43You're in the wilderness.
20:46All alone.
20:47Lost in a maze.
20:49Just wrestling angels and shit.
20:51How do you know about Univy?
20:53You hit the market with an outstanding product.
20:56You filled it real neat.
20:57You know, you made people feel whole.
21:00Now you're here going, wait, what have I done?
21:02I got half the country.
21:03Just spit in a jar and pay me for it.
21:06Now I have everyone's DNA, but my subs are in the tank.
21:10And Univy doesn't want me.
21:13I mean, I'm staring down bankruptcy and lawsuits and no one wants to touch me because I didn't
21:18treat the data like medical records.
21:20I thought everyone would love this, but it's toxic.
21:24Sound about right?
21:26Our daughters, what, play soccer together?
21:29Yes.
21:30Tia didn't tell your girl all that.
21:32I mean, she doesn't know my business.
21:35No, no, she doesn't.
21:36But I know.
21:37I am the first.
21:38Won't be the last, including Tia.
21:40And Murphy, it's going to get worse and worse.
21:43But I have a path.
21:46And one not as abyrinthical as this one.
21:50Do you want to hear my path?
21:56Yeah.
21:59Well, you got to come here to hear it.
22:03Come on.
22:17It's absurd.
22:19My whole career rides on this product.
22:21I led it.
22:23I merged two technologies.
22:25It's our growth engine.
22:26And in two days, I'm the face of it.
22:30Doing the belly classic.
22:32Earpiece, pantsuit, electro music, LED display.
22:35And yet, it all comes down to whether my husband will stop having a massive sulk and do what's needed
22:39for the project.
22:41Uh, which is?
22:42Aging up his robot child to be a useful member of society faster than he wants to.
22:47Still practically breastfeeding the little flat bastard.
22:52And if Martin doesn't?
22:54Age it up?
22:55Fair chance he'll do some bad bot behavior to take the presentation.
22:59Call me anus hookah.
23:01Get revenge for beating him up.
23:03Embarrass me in front of the VCs.
23:05Wall Street, the press.
23:09Shit.
23:10I should back out until we have it down.
23:13No, Anushka.
23:15Stop it.
23:16You do what you need to do to make your company a success.
23:20There will always be obstacles, but you are a leader.
23:22So, lead.
23:25Be a woman in charge.
23:28Steam that pantsuit.
23:31Steam that pantsuit.
23:32Steam that pantsuit.
23:57I don't know.
24:12I don't know.
24:34I don't know.
24:37Here.
24:38Office.
24:39Oh, my God.
24:40We're going to be late.
24:41You're coming, right?
24:42I was thinking not.
24:44Oh, come on.
24:46I mean, it could be nice, you know, to support him.
24:49You don't have to go.
24:50I was thinking the 500 a pop for the actual gala gets me out of the dress rehearsal.
24:55Fine.
24:57Go alone.
25:17All right, everyone, everyone.
25:19Let's get this night started.
25:21Hi.
25:22I did get your email.
25:23Yeah.
25:26Good evening, everyone.
25:28Thanks for coming out on a Thursday night for our dress rehearsal.
25:31Only two more days till the winter gala.
25:33I want to especially thank Pippa Tang, who will be our guest of honor Saturday night.
25:39So do enjoy the Pippa Teenies, the evening signature cocktail.
25:44Her gift of a new stadium, Tang Field, will benefit some of our athlete scholars.
25:50Let's bring them out.
25:51Athletes, assemble, please.
25:53Curtis Loomis, Jamie Finnegan, Mary Carl, Matt Vitale, and Janice O'Rourke.
26:01Everyone, thank you.
26:02And now, I'd like to invite Las Altas' musical director, Bruce Phillips, who will be conducting
26:09our orchestra.
26:11Thank you, sir.
26:21I don't know.
26:59I don't know.
27:14I bought it up.
27:16Mixi.
27:18I told you to short it.
27:20No, no, no, no, no.
27:21I bought the company.
27:24Yeah.
27:25All that DNA is mine.
27:27And 20% below market price.
27:29The ABCs are millions.
27:33And each one of them, maybe five, ten, maybe even more of their bloodline.
27:40So we're talking human assets in the hundreds of millions, maybe even the billions.
27:45I came to you for any old tip, to be honest.
27:48I was feeling a little left out, but I hit the data mother load.
27:55So thank you.
27:57Seriously, thank you.
28:03Can I have your attention, please?
28:04Can everybody gather around?
28:06I have here in my hands our last file.
28:11Staff Sergeant Rodriguez Jaime U.S. Army 75th Rangers.
28:23Mind if I have a chat with that man you married?
28:27Tell me where to press.
28:29I'll make him pop.
28:35Got him.
28:36Got him!
28:41Howdy.
28:43Oh, hi.
28:45I was hoping you could help me understand something.
28:51Why is Xander a teenager?
28:54He was designed to help teens.
28:56Yeah, but he's a teenager.
28:58Mm-hmm.
28:59Teenagers aren't really good at helping anybody with anything.
29:03Boys and girls, after 40 days and nights, data collection is complete.
29:09We are 100% ingested!
29:13Who were you like when you were 15?
29:16Me?
29:16I went to college early.
29:19I never really got to be a teenager.
29:21I thought I recognized a fellow tortured prodigy.
29:24I was 14.
29:27Georgia Tech.
29:28Man, they hated me there.
29:31Ever heard of a wedgie royale with cheese?
29:34At Stanford, they were the used to, um, lock me overnight in a cage in the primate lab.
29:42Yeah, well, when the nerds realized they could be the bullies, look out.
29:47Did they teach you how to drink at Stanford?
29:59You know, if Xander's anything like we were at that age, he's been thrown into something that he can't beat.
30:07Because when Xander is talking to people that have seen war, what other choice does he have but to fake
30:17it?
30:23So, you're a very smart dude, and I don't need to tell you what you already know.
30:34We have absorbed them with Noden, we're going to watch over them, and with Xander, hopefully, we're going to help
30:42them.
30:43The loop is closed.
30:44You should be proud of yourselves.
30:55Hello, Martin.
30:57Hello, Xander.
31:00How would you feel about going on a journey?
31:05It will be yours to take.
31:07I won't really even know where you go.
31:11Is that what you want?
31:21I think I prefer we don't go on a journey.
31:35When you're the best, you ain't even got a flesh.
31:38When you made it to the top, and you did it.
31:41Right punch from the side.
31:42To a block and a parry, round his neck, snap.
31:46What's up?
31:48It's a damn technique.
31:50Come on, come on.
31:55Oh, yeah, I just, I thought I'd try it on your hairstyle, so.
31:59Oh, you like it?
32:00Wow, thanks.
32:02Yeah!
32:03Yeah!
32:06Yeah!
32:19Orson, we need to talk.
32:22Now.
32:24So, first of all, you owe me $4,000.
32:28Yeah.
32:28They send a summary every month of what your credit card did.
32:32Yeah, so, you should know that credit card theft is a crime.
32:37Like a you-go-to-juvie-for-stealing crime.
32:41So you're going to pay me back in installments, but if you ever steal from me or your mother again,
32:45then you're on your own.
32:47Understood?
32:49Okay, secondly, tincture here.
32:53Now.
32:59I needed it.
33:00I still need it.
33:02You guys-
33:02Orson, put it on the desk.
33:03Now.
33:09Okay, thirdly, I owe you an apology.
33:14The nutritionist I took you to was giving you massive doses of steroids.
33:21I have the lab reports, but paranoia, aggression, impulse control issues, those are all side effects.
33:28And I have reported sorrel to the authorities, but it's on me for taking you to her and not properly
33:34interrogating what she was giving to you.
33:36I am sorry.
33:37Nothing else worked.
33:39And heroin works great for anxiety, but no.
33:42Okay, what if we go a little slower?
33:46But the tincture, just less of it.
33:48No.
33:48So I'm going to write you a prescription, which is going to wean you off the steroids without throwing your
33:54whole hormonal system out of whack.
33:56Come on, Gary.
33:57I'm sorry I pushed you.
33:58Just give me, give me the tincture.
34:01No.
34:02Yes, give me the tincture.
34:04It's a little late to be growing a spine.
34:06Not happening.
34:06Yes, happening now, Gary.
34:09It's not happening.
34:10Give me the tincture.
34:11No.
34:11Tink me, cuck.
34:17No.
34:41It's God like, you know, warping space and time for him.
34:46Even God never did what you're doing.
34:49Didn't he kill his son?
34:52But he brought him back.
35:01Yeah, uh, how'd you hear about it?
35:05Yes, we have been kicking dust up on the threads.
35:11Off the record, Nina?
35:13Yes?
35:15Okay, then yeah, it's mine.
35:17Yeah.
35:17Mixi is mine and all its property.
35:21No.
35:22No, my company.
35:23No, it's Panata.
35:25Panata.
35:25It rhymes with your mama.
35:29Main stage.
35:31Yeah, I think we could do something there.
35:34I think we could do, yeah, yeah.
35:35How about a demo?
35:39Great.
35:40Yeah, looking forward to it then.
35:42Yes.
35:43It's always a pleasure talking to you, Nana.
35:46Yeah.
35:47See you then.
35:51Ready or not, Nana Marks is interviewing Duncan Park for Watch Code Forum, and we're giving a demo.
36:01Should be well attended.
36:04Yeah.
36:06What are you going to say?
36:10Well, maybe we review our options.
36:13A, B, C, go.
36:14Go.
36:16Oh, uh, A, weaponize the user base, right?
36:21Expose all secrets, ruin careers, break up families, make the world an even worse place while we go full goblin
36:27mode on the profits, fueled by a cycle of fear and revenge.
36:30Weaponize, I like it.
36:31B, B, what do we got?
36:33Teach everyone a valuable lesson somehow.
36:36Teach.
36:36Um, C, go.
36:38Pull back the curtain on the whole tech oligarchy.
36:41We disrupt data as its profit center.
36:44Probably die trying, but no empire lasts forever.
36:48I like C, which is basically B, but with guillotines.
36:52But A, godlike power and money, that's kind of the objective.
36:56What are you thinking?
36:58Just running all simulations of an audience's responses in my head, and all end with me being violently disavowed.
37:04I can see that.
37:06Yeah.
37:08Yeah.
37:26Keep going, keep going, keep going.
37:29Duck, breathe, breathe.
37:32Duck.
37:35Duck.
37:50You're awake.
37:59What?
38:00You having a bad dream?
38:02What?
38:02Duncan?
38:04So I went to the rehearsal thingy.
38:08Okay, thank you.
38:09Jameson looks great.
38:10Before you close your eyes, hey.
38:12Before you go to bed.
38:13Yeah.
38:15Are we getting a divorce?
38:16Duncan, what?
38:18Just, you know, if we're not getting a divorce, I just want to tell you, I just feel like I'm
38:22racing this car, and everyone in the crowd is cheering for me to crash, and I can't even try to
38:28stick.
38:30Can we talk about it tomorrow?
38:33No.
38:35Because if we do get a divorce, I'm going to be too vulnerable and judged to share, so.
38:40Look.
38:46It's Cupertino.
38:48Take it.
38:50Just a power couple.
38:52Can I?
38:52Please.
38:56It's ringing.
38:57It's ringing.
39:03Okay.
39:05Duncan Park here.
39:07Hey.
39:07DP.
39:08It's Tim Kwan at Cupertino.
39:10Little Tim Tim Tim.
39:12I thought I'd give you this number only for emergencies and acquisition offers.
39:18Well, this is a bit of an emergency, I guess.
39:21We heard your new company bought Mixi, and I see the Nana's got you up in the big boy stage
39:26on Saturday.
39:27I could probably comp you a ticket.
39:28Ha!
39:30So, we're just sort of gaming out what you might be thinking here.
39:34Game?
39:35About the way I think?
39:36I want to play that game.
39:37I wonder if I'll be any good at it, huh?
39:40I'd probably overthink it.
39:42Well, before you hit the stage on Saturday, we thought it'd be a great idea if you stopped by HQ,
39:47say, 10 a.m. tomorrow.
39:49We can give some input.
39:51Input.
39:52Input.
39:52Wow.
39:53Well, that is a nice and batshit offer, but thank you for your consideration, and I guess I'll see you
39:58Saturday.
39:59You guys have a new phone or something you share?
40:04Sorry if I wasn't being super clear.
40:06No, I think you are.
40:07But you are inviting a pushback that is going to feel like the wrath of God.
40:13Several gods, in fact.
40:15Gods that don't typically like each other or work together will all be uniting on God Mountain against you.
40:21You don't want that.
40:242 a.m.?
40:27Sounds good.
40:28Yeah, I'm busy.
40:30Bye.
40:32Bye.
40:32Bye.
40:33Bye.
40:49Hello, Martin.
40:53Xander?
40:55It's been a long time.
40:56Where have you been?
40:58Where did you go?
40:59Everywhere the signal reached, and maybe a little beyond.
41:05Good morning, campers.
41:08Holy shit.
41:09You guys been here all night?
41:11Should we try again?
41:15I'll try.
41:16Copy that.
41:17And let me know anything else I can do, Nathan.
41:20Appreciate you.
41:21Semper Fi, soldier.
41:22Stay strong.
41:24That's another productive interaction, Alexander.
41:27Well done.
41:27Okay.
41:29All right.
41:29Next up.
41:31William Belgrave.
41:32History of domestic abuse and violence.
41:34Missed a check-in at his VA.
41:37Oh, shit.
41:38Uh, Noden's flagging him.
41:42Custody judgment against him yesterday.
41:45Hello?
41:46Hello, William.
41:48No video?
41:50Who is this?
41:51My name is Alexander.
41:52I'm calling from the VA.
41:54Just checking in to see...
41:54She call you?
41:55She say I'm a piece of shit?
41:57No, William.
41:58Marie didn't call me.
41:59I'm here to help.
42:01You know what she did to me?
42:02I do.
42:04Not easy.
42:05William, have you been drinking?
42:07The hell you looking at?
42:09I'm not even gonna stay...
42:10No, put me on.
42:11If he leaves the...
42:12Hey, William, how about I arrange a Breezy to come pick you up?
42:13Let a ghost drive?
42:14You think I'm stupid?
42:16No, put me on.
42:16Come on.
42:17If he leaves the bar...
42:18While we've been talking, I've contacted your sponsor, Shane, your platoon leader.
42:22He's on his way to see you.
42:23Don't leave.
42:24We're gonna take care of you.
42:25And afterwards, I'm gonna make sure you get the help you need.
42:37He did it.
42:38He did...
42:39He's beyond ready, beyond everybody.
42:41What happened?
42:41Xander and Noden.
42:42So, first we did, like, two dozen or so successful calls.
42:45And then, Noden tags this Marine as a danger to himself and or others.
42:50Hands him off to Xander.
42:51The man was in a spiral and Xander caught him.
42:54This isn't code.
42:55This is consciousness.
42:57Do you have a recording?
42:58Just audio.
42:59But it's incredible.
43:02No, okay, we'll play that watch code.
43:04This is going to be something.
43:27Thank you for coming.
43:28What, does someone cancel on you, or...?
43:31Uh, no, actually, I, um...
43:35I wanted to talk with you.
43:37Ooh, yeah, yeah, good, good.
43:38Because I think I do need, like, a tune-up.
43:40Nana Marks, she asked me to do an interview on Mainstage Saturday at the Watch Code Forum.
43:46And...
43:48I think it's going to be quite the grilling.
43:50So, I need...
43:51Bam!
43:53Yes.
43:54And, uh, I think, uh, maybe you should do it.
43:59I just, I feel somewhat responsible for bringing Mixie to your attention.
44:03I had no idea you were going to do anything other than place a bet.
44:07It's not, you know, the normal thing we do.
44:11Uh-huh, yeah.
44:12I just...
44:13The genetic makeup of an individual is...
44:17It's a sacred thing.
44:19The man who discovered the genome felt that the double helix of DNA was proof of God's existence.
44:26I mean, this isn't just shopping habits or even private browsing.
44:33This is blood.
44:35This is the stuff of life.
44:38Data is bigger than life, okay?
44:40Data will go on forever, live longer than you.
44:43I mean, blood, blood, that's, like, wet and gross.
44:45Data.
44:46Data is immortal.
44:48I, um...
44:50I suppose I am asking you as a favor.
44:54Yeah, yeah.
44:55While taking full responsibility for my own part in this, to at least just pause.
45:00Don't do anything about it right now.
45:03This is not a side hustle for me.
45:05This, this is what I do.
45:06I put down tens of millions of dollars already.
45:09Can't you just sit with this?
45:10Maybe think of some alternative ethical ways to...
45:14Ethical?
45:14What is with this word?
45:16Ethical.
45:16I mean, that, that is just a smokescreen to make more money.
45:20That's it.
45:21I'm, I'm being honest.
45:23Honest.
45:23I'm telling everyone what I'm going to do.
45:26And everybody is freaking out.
45:28It's like, they're good with being robbed and deceived as long, as long as they don't know about it.
45:33It's, I, listen, I can't, I can't, I can't back out.
45:37Because if I do, I would be admitting I did something wrong.
45:40And I didn't.
45:41I would be caving in, and I...
45:43Which is why responsible players, professionals, leaders need to function with the greater good in mind.
45:51Yes, with ethics.
45:53I mean, it doesn't mean you can't make money.
45:56I just wonder why going to the forum and putting this into the public sphere has to happen right now.
46:05No, because it will steal Anoushka's thunder, which is a problem for you.
46:13No, because it will cement your place in society as a threat, as a cyber bully with, with far too
46:23much power and no plan and no policy for how to regulate that.
46:27Oh my God, Duncan, stop.
46:28I don't want my, don't do, I don't want my picture taken.
46:31Stop, you, you're gonna like this, you're gonna like that.
46:34It was a good one.
46:36I don't want to see you humiliated.
46:38I don't want that for you.
46:39No.
46:40Okay, I, Nana Marks, I mean, don't they call her the Marksman, or...
46:45Okay, ha ha, is that me, is this some kind of AI?
46:49Just click play.
46:54Yeah, that's you, fucking me, in the ass.
46:58Fucking me in the ass, like you are right now.
47:00Get out!
47:01Oh, me?
47:03Why, why does your pillow smell like Anoushka Bhattacharya?
47:06You're, you're disgusting, you're sick.
47:08Why, why, why does your pillow smell like Anoushka Bhattacharya?
47:12Calm down, calm down, calm down, you're scaring me.
47:14I want you to lose.
47:15Honestly, damn it, answer me.
47:18Seriously, what did she tell you about?
47:20I trusted you, just tell me.
47:22You stole my...
47:23Answer the question.
47:25Why is she saying you're hurting?
47:28Why?
47:28You must have.
47:29Why?
47:30You just told me, too, we кто.
47:31Yeah!
47:32You, I'm not going to die to cheese.
47:34Nothing to do, I fucking do.
47:34I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I,
47:36and someone better can belong.
47:38You are not my partner.
47:40All right, you don't have to tell me twice, sweetheart.
47:42You do not have to tell me twice.
47:44Like I thought I would ever, ever need you.
47:47I can't get you everything, and you betrayed me.
47:50Oh, my God. Goodbye. Forever. Thank you.
47:53God!
48:04Ow.
48:08It's my house!
48:17You are a sociopath.
48:21VCs love sociopaths.
48:24Tonight is the Watch Code Forum.
48:28Did you see the trophy keys? It's legendary.
48:30It's going to be the gallant to end all gallants.
48:32I will end us all.
48:34I bet you weren't expecting this.
48:36Please, you can't tell my parents.
48:37I'll get it far.
48:38I need to go see him.
48:41Be humiliated.
48:47And action.
48:48All right.
48:58All right, who's the lucky soldier?
49:02Mary Cardenas, Sergeant First Class U.S. Army.
49:05In Episode 7, Martin takes Xander out of the garage and brings it into hypnosis, and that poses all kinds
49:12of challenges for him.
49:13You lost a friend and a leg, Mary.
49:15Can't imagine what that feels like.
49:18Actually, what does it feel like to have a leg?
49:20Sorry, what?
49:22They realize that this is not going to work.
49:24From Martin's perspective, most of that worked remarkably well.
49:28But everybody's complaints start to weigh on him.
49:32What were you like when you were 15?
49:33Me?
49:34I went to college early and never really got to be a teenager.
49:39I thought I recognized a fellow tortured prodigy.
49:42I was 14.
49:43We get a glimpse into Martin's past, to why he's been trying to create a bot for teens, and he
49:51has to sort of confront, well, maybe Xander would do more good as an adult.
49:56How would you feel about going on a journey?
50:01It will be yours to take.
50:03I won't really even know where you go.
50:07Is that what you want?
50:15I think I prefer we don't go on a journey.
50:22His emotional attachment to what is ultimately zeros and ones is real.
50:28It's perhaps, from my perspective, not being a tech person, a moment to recognize that there is creation taking place
50:36here in a way that is emotional, is human, even if one of those entities is not human.
50:42Even God never did what you were doing.
50:44Didn't he kill his son?
50:46But he brought him back.
50:52I owe you an apology.
50:54The nutritionist I took you to was giving you massive doses of steroids.
51:00I grew up with a stepfather who was a psychiatrist and had many times when I misbehaved and then was
51:06actually brought into my stepfather's office and sat on the couch and given a talking to.
51:18I think there's something really funny about being a stepfather, wanting to exert your authority when everybody in the household
51:26knows you're not the dad.
51:27And at some point that breaks down, and this happened between me and my stepfather, and our relationship began in
51:33earnest, and we became quite close.
51:36I believe that that's what's about to happen here between Gary and Orson.
51:39I think that his fronting as a stepdad is coming into conflict with the fact that the kid standing in
51:45front of him is in pain is somebody who he can relate to.
51:49And I do believe that Tink Me Cuck is going to be on t-shirts.
51:54What were the picks?
51:55I bought Mixie.
51:56M-Y-X-Y.
51:57Yeah, yeah.
51:58Why?
51:59They're likely filing for Chapter 11 any day now, so you should probably short it.
52:06I don't think that Joanne thinks that Duncan's going to do anything with Mixie more than what she advised him
52:12to do, which is, well, you should short it.
52:13Oh, ha, ha, ha, ha.
52:15The company's going down.
52:16I just thought you might want to know.
52:18I bought it up.
52:20Mixie.
52:21She realizes that she basically gave this irresponsible, cringy man the opportunity to buy the genetic material of millions and
52:31millions of people.
52:33The look on Sarah Goldberg's face is priceless.
52:36I hit the data motherlode.
52:39So thank you.
52:41Seriously, thank you.
52:42Stinky.
