00:00:00I was giving you steroids.
00:00:02Give me the tincture.
00:00:03Not happening.
00:00:03Why does your pillow smell like a new scum?
00:00:05You betrayed me!
00:00:06I want you to leave!
00:00:08And it's my house!
00:00:19You know, Carl's over the moon that you're coming out to join us today.
00:00:24Uh-huh.
00:00:25Yeah, yeah.
00:00:27I think you'll get a kick out of it.
00:00:41Well met, sir! Well met!
00:00:43Ah, I bet you weren't expecting this.
00:00:46I was not.
00:00:48Where's your piece?
00:00:49McGuire, get him a smelly!
00:00:50There you go.
00:00:54Pretty swell, right?
00:00:56We're gonna really raise some cane this time.
00:00:58I have a new pyro guy.
00:00:59He's got his whole kit and caboodles, so it's gonna be really good.
00:01:02Uh-huh.
00:01:03Maybe I should watch over there by the La Place du Village.
00:01:07No, no, no. We've got it all mapped out.
00:01:08We're gonna take a crack at Musa Argon.
00:01:1147 days of hell-fired heart attack.
00:01:14Really leveled up this time knowing that a bonafide vet would be with us today.
00:01:18Carl...
00:01:18I'm...
00:01:20I'm...
00:01:20What do you want me to do?
00:01:22No!
00:01:23No!
00:01:24No!
00:01:24No!
00:01:25No!
00:01:26No!
00:01:29No!
00:01:30No!
00:01:32No!
00:01:33Shellshock!
00:01:34That's good.
00:01:35That's good.
00:01:35But you got to get over the wall!
00:01:37Over the top now, drunk boy!
00:01:39Now!
00:01:40Now!
00:01:40Now!
00:01:41Now!
00:01:41Now!
00:01:42Now!
00:01:42No!
00:01:45No!
00:01:46No!
00:01:47No!
00:01:47No!
00:01:48No!
00:01:50No!
00:01:54No!
00:01:59No!
00:01:59What the hell?
00:02:26Bruh, you're supposed to lie down!
00:02:29Yeah, you did!
00:02:41Okay, what are we drinking?
00:02:44I like to imagine that we find a bottle of cognac in a blown-up cafe
00:02:48and we can't believe our luck because the bottle's impossibly intact.
00:02:54People say that money can't buy you perspective.
00:02:57I just bought the Western Front in 4D and it was far from quiet.
00:03:02If that isn't what war felt like, then I don't want to know.
00:03:08To the ones who gave it all, may we never forget and never let them down.
00:03:19I want to show you something.
00:03:25What do we have behind here?
00:03:38The Battle of Austerlitz.
00:03:41Agincourt.
00:03:43Those gas masks are from the Somme and Teetham.
00:03:53What about this one?
00:03:54Does this look familiar?
00:03:57This is Medina Ridge, my friend.
00:04:01Your finest hour.
00:04:07And if you look over here, closely, at this band of brothers, indeed you will see
00:04:12tank, platoon leader, second lieutenant, Tom Ruffage, on his M1 Abrams.
00:04:19I had my miniature guy make sure that he tried to capture the steely resolve that only a man born
00:04:26to kill like you.
00:04:27Seriously, what is wrong with you?
00:04:30What?
00:04:31You go play dress-up and then you come admire your toy soldiers?
00:04:35You got no fucking idea at all what war is.
00:04:39I mean, this is obscene, Carl. It's fucking obscene.
00:04:46Yeah.
00:04:48I wasn't a soldier.
00:04:50Yes.
00:04:52But I know what valor looks like, sir.
00:04:56And it comes in many different shapes.
00:05:00And in my business dealings, sometimes in deal-making, the knives come out.
00:05:04Oh, stop talking!
00:05:07God!
00:05:08You're insulting people you don't even know exist!
00:05:14Oh, the pride of the American bureaucrat.
00:05:18And pride goeth before the fall.
00:05:20And while you were pushing for regulations for the Mother May I state,
00:05:25I was building empires.
00:05:29So tell me, who is wasting their time again?
00:05:32You!
00:05:33You!
00:05:38You!
00:05:40Carl.
00:05:42Maybe your heart isn't in the right place.
00:05:46But...
00:05:51I'm sorry.
00:05:52...
00:05:58...
00:06:15...
00:06:16...
00:06:16...
00:06:18...
00:06:20...
00:06:20No, I never told him.
00:06:22I don't want to characterize his feelings towards me, but perhaps he felt I deceived him.
00:06:28Anyway, I can assure you I will not be seeing him anymore.
00:06:34He's going to try to undermine me. He's probably more determined now than ever.
00:06:39Tonight is the Watch Code Forum.
00:06:41It's a make-or-break night for me, Joanne, and he's going to be there, of course.
00:06:45And Xander, is it? He's not misbehaving anymore?
00:06:48No, it's good. Yeah, really, really good.
00:06:51I'm confident Xander's going to leave people absolutely floored.
00:06:55We're about to make a few spreadsheets very, very happy.
00:06:57Uh-huh.
00:06:58Including mine.
00:06:59Oh, well, that's wonderful.
00:07:05I am so, so sorry about this.
00:07:08You know, it's not uncommon for people who know the same sets of people to wind up at the same
00:07:14therapist's door.
00:07:15Right, I know. Same therapist, same parties.
00:07:18Same conferences.
00:07:20Mm-hmm, yeah.
00:07:21Oh, are you going to be at the last answer, Scarlet?
00:07:24It's just downstairs from Watch Code.
00:07:25I will be there.
00:07:27It's a small town, after all.
00:07:30Yes, well, perhaps I'll see you there.
00:07:34Right, well, I'll be on the lookout then.
00:08:05No, I'll be on the lookout then.
00:08:06Yes, well, I'll see you there.
00:08:11Did you see it?
00:08:13Did you see the trophy case?
00:08:14No, I'm not playing that game anymore.
00:08:18Come on, Tess, you've got to see this one.
00:08:20It's legendary.
00:08:29What was it?
00:08:39What was it?
00:09:07Orson, what are you, uh, shouldn't you be in school?
00:09:10I couldn't.
00:09:11I don't, I don't feel good, like at all, and I really need the tincture, Gary.
00:09:15I know you said...
00:09:16Shh, shh, shh, your mother.
00:09:19I know.
00:09:20It's poison, listen.
00:09:21Orson, listen, listen, listen.
00:09:23You're having some very mild withdrawal symptoms.
00:09:26I'll call the school.
00:09:27I'll tell them you're not feeling well.
00:09:28I'm not giving you any more of that junk.
00:09:30The stuff that you're giving me isn't doing anything.
00:09:32Shh, shh, shh.
00:09:33I'm shaking, and my mouth is so dry, and I have to go on stage and perform a solo in
00:09:37front
00:09:37of hundreds of people, and I'm going to humiliate myself.
00:09:39No, you're not.
00:09:40And I'm going to shit myself.
00:09:41You won't, you're a little nervous.
00:09:42Yes, I will.
00:09:43No, I literally had to run into a gas station on the way home.
00:09:46It was awful.
00:09:47It is awful.
00:09:48Besides, what difference you're going to want to do with me?
00:09:50Don't be such a cock.
00:09:51It'll be between you and me.
00:09:52I won't tell them.
00:09:53Here.
00:09:54I'm just running to the dry cleaners.
00:09:58I'll grab your suit for the gala, too.
00:10:03Okay, come here.
00:10:04Come here.
00:10:05Let me sit down for one moment.
00:10:13Orson, you have referred to me as a cuck numerous times.
00:10:20Oh, sorry.
00:10:21No, no.
00:10:22I mean, do you know what the word means?
00:10:24Yeah, it means that your wife's doing stuff, like behind your back.
00:10:31And you see me as a cuck?
00:10:37Okay.
00:10:41And with whom would she be doing good things?
00:10:46Duncan Park.
00:10:49Okay, now, come on, please.
00:10:54How do you know?
00:10:57How do you know?
00:10:59I need to know how you know.
00:11:00And I need what I need, so why don't we just make a deal then?
00:11:02Okay, all right.
00:11:03You tell me, I will give you one dose.
00:11:06Two doses, because I need another one tonight before the gala.
00:11:09One dose, and if you tell me the truth,
00:11:11and there's no games, and there's no lies,
00:11:13I will consider a second gala dose.
00:11:25This is unbelievable.
00:11:27All I know is that according to your mother,
00:11:30you've been stealing things and putting them in that very spot.
00:11:33I didn't do this.
00:11:34So your father didn't break the glass to get his...
00:11:37He is cute, but no.
00:11:38He blamed it on her maid, and I defended her.
00:11:43Okay.
00:11:45Okay.
00:11:46Can you call your mom?
00:11:49I tried her, but she wouldn't and didn't pick up.
00:11:51No, no, please.
00:11:52Please, you can't tell my parents about this.
00:11:57They just answered.
00:11:59Early decisions are coming out next week.
00:12:01If they find out, please, you can.
00:12:04One step at a time.
00:12:05I haven't called the police yet, but I have to take precautions.
00:12:09We can't be here.
00:12:11We can't see what we're talking about.
00:12:13Well, how many of us are coming in?
00:12:14We can't see what we're talking about.
00:12:17We can't see what we're talking about.
00:12:18So if I want to listen in on your office, you go right there.
00:12:22And if I want to hear mom's, I'll just go in this creepy wine cellar.
00:12:30Okay, listen to me.
00:12:31You are never, ever to listen to our therapy sessions ever again.
00:12:36Understood?
00:12:37Okay, and you heard them discussing the affair, or you heard them actually having...
00:12:43Oh, Christ.
00:12:44What, the affair?
00:12:46Oh, oh, no, no, no, they're not.
00:12:48No, they're not having an affair.
00:12:50They're not?
00:12:51No.
00:12:51Oh, thank God.
00:12:52No, he's just blackmailing her.
00:12:56Okay, come on, we had a deal.
00:12:58Let's hurry it up.
00:12:59Hold on, blackmailing about what?
00:13:01I don't know, okay?
00:13:02I wasn't...
00:13:02He's a tech guy.
00:13:04He was, like, looking through her private files or something.
00:13:07What's going on in her private files?
00:13:07I don't know, I just said that, okay?
00:13:09Come on, ting time, let's hurry it up.
00:13:10Okay, blackmailing.
00:13:12Okay, now I'm administering it.
00:13:14Dose before was three drops.
00:13:16Well, I'm giving you one, that's the appropriate dose.
00:13:18Well, it's one or none, Orson, you decide.
00:13:20We're going to wean you off this stuff.
00:13:22Very powerful.
00:13:24Orson, look at yourself, man.
00:13:27Get a grip.
00:13:29Gosh.
00:13:32Come on.
00:13:34Change of the locks.
00:13:46Shh, shh, shh, shh, shh.
00:13:47I just got her to sleep.
00:13:48What?
00:13:49This is very calm.
00:13:51What?
00:13:53Did you not see my texts?
00:13:58Was she going to shoo up the school?
00:14:00I mean, that kind of trauma requires flair, right?
00:14:03No.
00:14:05She's, of course, denying it, but it was found in that same trolley case.
00:14:11She confessed to stealing my cube and put it there.
00:14:14Well, actually, no, she didn't deny it, so.
00:14:17If she doesn't get into Stafford early and a gun rep, it's on her record.
00:14:21She isn't getting into any college.
00:14:23She's good.
00:14:25She grew up with every possible advantage.
00:14:27Task force, tutors, the internship at Wimbledon, the altruism crews.
00:14:31None of it took.
00:14:32She still bungled it.
00:14:33You know how that looks?
00:14:34Yeah, yeah, yeah.
00:14:35The rich, white, black sheep girl.
00:14:39That's just...
00:14:40I mean, we love her, of course.
00:14:42Yeah.
00:14:42We'd do anything for her, but that's a stain on us all.
00:14:46Yeah.
00:14:52Hey.
00:14:54Jesus.
00:14:54Yeah, sorry.
00:14:55Um, I need to talk.
00:14:57Well, I need to get ready for the gala.
00:14:59No, no, I know.
00:14:59I know.
00:14:59It's important.
00:15:00Please.
00:15:04Well, you know, is there anything you want to tell me first?
00:15:10Uh, no.
00:15:13Don't think so.
00:15:16Can you give me a clue?
00:15:17And fast?
00:15:18Because I need to get dressed, and so do you.
00:15:20Yeah.
00:15:21Um, well.
00:15:26Gare, what?
00:15:28Maybe something.
00:15:31You know, about being blackmailed by one of your clients.
00:15:36What are you talking about?
00:15:38Is that ringing any bells, then?
00:15:39Uh, nope.
00:15:40Not hearing any bells.
00:15:43Just...
00:15:44We're going to be late for the gala.
00:15:55Spend some night, you start me when the night...
00:16:01Spend some nights, you start me when the night...
00:16:05Under clouds of my dilemma.
00:16:10I know there's nothing much to do except turn back in front of televisions, stand back at me.
00:16:27Just let it all make noise to push me to the sea.
00:17:00They call it a micro baby boom, you know?
00:17:02Because of the number of kids that are all reaching college age at the same time.
00:17:05Or like, nano Gen Z with it.
00:17:09Maybe blackmail is the wrong word.
00:17:11Carrie, what...
00:17:13I am not talking about this.
00:17:17It is Duncan Park, right?
00:17:19What are you doing?
00:17:21There is nothing to talk about.
00:17:24And even if there is, this is not the place to do it.
00:17:27So there is something to talk about.
00:17:30Sorry, did I hear you talking about admission rates?
00:17:33Oh my god, it is so brutal, right?
00:17:35It's more about lottery than merit at this point.
00:17:37Everyone goes to the best schools now.
00:17:39Everyone's got money to donate.
00:17:40That's funny.
00:17:41That's funny.
00:17:42That's funny.
00:18:09That's funny.
00:18:13Everybody hates me.
00:18:14Here, on the feed.
00:18:17I don't think I could do this interview.
00:18:22No, don't nod.
00:18:24You're...
00:18:24How about you say everything's gonna be okay?
00:18:26How about you do that?
00:18:27I can't possibly know that.
00:18:28You don't know?
00:18:29You...
00:18:29You fake...
00:18:31There's a very large man coming at you.
00:18:33Right now.
00:18:34What?
00:18:35Yeah.
00:18:36Oh, I was wrong about you.
00:18:37You are not...
00:18:38You're not typical.
00:18:39You are certainly not empathetic.
00:18:41You are a fucking sociopath.
00:18:47Spread the word.
00:18:48Fucking sociopath.
00:18:50Hey!
00:18:50Gary!
00:18:51Spread the word!
00:18:52Not over.
00:18:56He doesn't know that VCs love sociopaths.
00:18:59I'm gonna crush this interview.
00:19:01I'm gonna stick my dick in God Mountain.
00:19:05Turned out my radio was on the whole time the General heard it.
00:19:08Every radio.
00:19:11Hey!
00:19:15What the hell are we doing here?
00:19:17Yeah.
00:19:17It's a...
00:19:18It's a little out of body, I admit.
00:19:20A little.
00:19:20I've come a long way.
00:19:22Last night at dinner, I sent back a bottle of wine.
00:19:24Ho, ho!
00:19:25Ho, ho!
00:19:29You look great.
00:19:30Oh, well...
00:19:3238 days sober.
00:19:33There you go.
00:19:34Yeah.
00:19:34You did.
00:19:35You did good.
00:19:36And you're gonna do alright for yourself, too, huh?
00:19:39Well, they pay the shit out of me, I admit.
00:19:42You'll get a piece of this, too, I hope?
00:19:45Uh...
00:19:45Piece of...
00:19:46I-I just want you to know that I...
00:19:49I did what I said.
00:19:50I-I played a part.
00:19:51It's non-exclusive, and it won't affect the work that you're doing with the VCs.
00:19:54Okay.
00:19:54Okay.
00:19:55Sir, what are we talking about?
00:20:08I'm not your engineer.
00:20:10You understand?
00:20:11I-I am the intellectual property.
00:20:13Carl?
00:20:14Martin, my love...
00:20:15Uh, hey.
00:20:15I, uh, sent that uniform in to be cleaned.
00:20:19That's just your amount.
00:20:19I'll get it back to you.
00:20:20Okay.
00:20:22Okay.
00:20:23So, uh, someone wanna tell me what's going on here?
00:20:25Mishka?
00:20:25Okay.
00:20:26Um...
00:20:27We're not gonna be giving our presentation anymore.
00:20:30The presentation that we came here to give?
00:20:32Right.
00:20:33Okay, yeah.
00:20:34Uh...
00:20:34Why is that?
00:20:36Uh, because what we needed to happen already happened.
00:20:39He licensed Xander.
00:20:42What...
00:20:42What is that?
00:20:43I don't understand.
00:20:44Well, Tom, the tech does also have to be profitable, as we all agreed.
00:20:48Oh, Carl, Carl, Carl, Carl.
00:20:49What did you do?
00:20:50What did you do?
00:20:51What I did, Lieutenant, is I took Martin's work and I put it where it has the most value.
00:20:55And where it will do the most good.
00:20:56For the country.
00:20:58Mailerton is licensing Alexander for military practice.
00:21:00Oh, come on.
00:21:01Now that's a joke, right?
00:21:02Xander is going to sit in the cockpit.
00:21:04He is going to help the airmen with the-
00:21:07Killing.
00:21:07Deadly burden.
00:21:08With the killing.
00:21:08With the deadly burden-
00:21:09Of murdering.
00:21:10The decision to fire.
00:21:11Because the truth is, you never quite know when a soldier might snap.
00:21:16Right?
00:21:18Uh-huh.
00:21:19Oh.
00:21:19And General Voorhees is-
00:21:21Voorhees.
00:21:22Is Malaton's man at the DOD.
00:21:24And he has come up with the clever idea of rebranding Xander as Xandar.
00:21:28Oh.
00:21:29As Xandar.
00:21:30Yeah, Xandar.
00:21:31Which I think has a ring to it.
00:21:32Think about this, Tom.
00:21:33When you were attacking those fleeing unarmed Iraqi soldiers,
00:21:36Of course, Xandar could have spared you your moral injury.
00:21:40Hey, Carl, you cannot license my work without my consent.
00:21:43Uh, Martin, read your contracts.
00:21:44How about my lawyers?
00:21:45Read it to you.
00:21:45In court.
00:21:46Sue me.
00:21:46Please sue me.
00:21:47You had no right.
00:21:49I have-
00:21:49None.
00:21:50Every right.
00:21:50I always have every right.
00:21:52Can we still use Xander for the vets?
00:21:53Is that-
00:21:53My lawyers are going to sort it out.
00:21:55Your lawyers should have read it out loud to you.
00:21:57I don't need to because I can read.
00:21:58Can you?
00:21:58You would know that a four-year $1.27 billion non-exclusive would make you $762 million.
00:22:05Jesus, what?
00:22:06I can-
00:22:07Ten-
00:22:08Twenty times that.
00:22:08If I sold them outright, that's-
00:22:09That's a provable thing.
00:22:11Donning, donning.
00:22:11Can we discuss?
00:22:11You know, I never needed you to go out and-
00:22:14Hey, what-
00:22:14Can we-
00:22:15You just don't give their whores 60%?
00:22:17You're calling me a whore.
00:22:18I called you a friend right there.
00:22:19You called me a pimp.
00:22:20Hey, hey, damn it!
00:22:21Come on!
00:22:22Answer the question, huh?
00:22:24Can hypnosis still use Xander for the vets?
00:22:27Don't forget, I still have my developmental rights.
00:22:29I will take your check.
00:22:30I will shut Xander down.
00:22:31I will show myself out permanently.
00:22:34Oh, so you will take the money.
00:22:35Well, that was fast.
00:22:36That was fast.
00:22:36And you touch my lanyard one more time, and I will fucking knock you off this railing.
00:22:40You understand me?
00:22:41I have to be clear, Carl.
00:22:42Well, I'll be doing whatever's in Martin's best interest here.
00:22:44Including resigning.
00:22:46I gotta tell you, I smell a terrible pre-nut.
00:22:49But you do you, lady.
00:22:58Tom.
00:22:59Tom, Tom, Tom, Tom, Tom.
00:23:02Okay.
00:23:03That was a toughie.
00:23:04Mm-hmm.
00:23:05Believe me, I've had my hopes to dash more times than I can count.
00:23:08But we dust ourselves off-
00:23:09You just made a billion dollars.
00:23:12Not quite.
00:23:13My husband did.
00:23:15I also just lost my job.
00:23:17On principle.
00:23:20Okay, look.
00:23:21This is all so new.
00:23:23But, um...
00:23:24What would you think if Martin and I were to start a foundation for the veterans?
00:23:29We could put in, say, five million.
00:23:32Just to get it started.
00:23:33It's so plainly the right thing to do.
00:23:36And, Tom, you could lead it.
00:23:38Hmm.
00:23:40Hmm.
00:23:40So, uh, 60 million vets, five million bucks.
00:23:43That's, uh, 30 cents per vet.
00:23:45Um, not quite enough to get them each a pack of gum.
00:23:48But, if they pool their resources, they can maybe get a stick each.
00:23:53Okay, Tom.
00:23:55What am I doing?
00:23:58Tom?
00:23:59Tom?
00:24:00Please, sir.
00:24:01It's there the whole time.
00:24:16It's on the board.
00:24:18Tommy.
00:24:18Don't worry.
00:24:19My companies.
00:24:20My companies.
00:24:21Just...
00:24:21Let me guess.
00:24:22Let me guess.
00:24:23You're out.
00:24:26Bardolph make a move?
00:24:28Yeah.
00:24:28Oh, gosh.
00:24:29I knew it.
00:24:29I knew it.
00:24:30I was watching.
00:24:31Gosh.
00:24:32Wait.
00:24:33Did, uh...
00:24:34Did the data ingestion happen?
00:24:35All the vets' personnel files?
00:24:38Mm-hmm.
00:24:38Oh, okay.
00:24:40Okay.
00:24:40And now all of them belong to him.
00:24:43Wow.
00:24:44And Bardolph, he's...
00:24:45He's no patriot.
00:24:48He's a businessman.
00:24:49He's gonna do what I was gonna do.
00:24:51Just rent it out to pharma, lobbyists, insurance.
00:24:55And you and that civil servant faith of yours made it all possible.
00:25:01Mission accomplished.
00:25:03There you are.
00:25:04Hi.
00:25:05Hey.
00:25:06Hi, Ruffage.
00:25:07Um, sound check?
00:25:08Good.
00:25:09Yeah.
00:25:10Showtime.
00:25:28I want to introduce these six, uh, five scholar athletes who will directly benefit from our
00:25:36new stadium and sports complex, captain of the tennis team, Curtis Loomis.
00:25:42Where's Jamison?
00:25:44I bet she never misses a chance to get her flowers.
00:25:46I heard she got suspended, actually.
00:25:49Jamison?
00:25:50For what?
00:25:51I don't know.
00:25:52Her mom picked her up.
00:25:53Eighth place finish at the Menlo Park Inner School Fall Classic.
00:25:56Give it up for Curtis.
00:26:19Have you guys.
00:26:54Hey, guys, stop.
00:26:55Um, let me just...
00:27:01Shit, that's worse.
00:27:04Okay, just no name. Go, go.
00:27:07And field hockey co-captain, Mary Corral.
00:27:12Mary just found out.
00:27:14Come on, St. Mary, Rudy, decision.
00:27:16Full athletic scholarship at Stanford.
00:27:19Yes! Thank you, Mary. Congratulations.
00:27:24Hey, Jameson should be out there.
00:27:28Not the time.
00:27:29Regardless, whatever you may think of me personally, Beatrice, don't punish my daughter.
00:27:33I assure you, she is not dangerous.
00:27:37She's a genuinely midperson.
00:27:39You told me she was stealing things and displaying them in the trophy case.
00:27:42Duncan said that, and he's wrong. Often.
00:27:45Lily, Jameson may have done something inexcusably stupid, and if so, my hands are tied.
00:27:51Okay, then you need to know, under this fabulous dress, I'm wearing a suicide vest.
00:27:55Oh, are you upset?
00:27:56Well, I'm sure you have pills to help with that.
00:27:59It doesn't change how on Monday, if the police can't place...
00:28:02...evidence to exonerate Jameson, I will have to suspend her.
00:28:05I will make it to Monday, Beatrice.
00:28:07None of us will.
00:28:08Oh, my God.
00:28:09Lily, please.
00:28:11Other things other than you need attention right now.
00:28:14Pippa Ting!
00:28:15Oh, my God!
00:28:16Pippa Ting!
00:28:18Pippa Ting!
00:28:19Pippa-pippa-ting-ting!
00:28:21Don't give this your attention.
00:28:22I swear to you, I will go on that stage in front of everyone who matters and declare I hired
00:28:27the wrong black woman.
00:28:28Because I couldn't tell the difference, and she, meaning you, went along with it.
00:28:36You destroy my daughter's future, I will end us all.
00:28:40My God.
00:28:41It's going to be the gala to end all gala.
00:28:44Possibly the end of Los Altos.
00:28:46Probably.
00:28:47Definitely.
00:28:48And you know what?
00:28:49I'm going to enjoy it.
00:28:51Oh, hey!
00:28:52You want to hold hands and go out there together?
00:28:53No?
00:28:54Okay.
00:28:55Well, you do want to be in the blast radius, if you can.
00:28:57I'm not on the run, like an escaped fugitive.
00:29:00Oh, just stop, Lily.
00:29:02I'm about to be destroyed publicly, all without your help.
00:29:05Okay?
00:29:06Huh?
00:29:07Pippa is backing out of the stadium.
00:29:11Yeah.
00:29:12Yeah.
00:29:12She said, I, um, I booked us in the shadow of a tacky-ass tech bro trade show.
00:29:18Strongly suggested I wasn't born with the right instincts to plan an event of this magnitude.
00:29:25She also said you hiring me was a quixotic aspiration.
00:29:31She said that.
00:29:33And she called me a leftover legacy of Lily.
00:29:45So, the rich bitch in your corner never liked you.
00:29:52And Beatrice, you can't afford not to have a rich bitch in your corner.
00:30:05Do you remember, did you meet my friend Ike?
00:30:08Um, yeah.
00:30:08I met Ike at, uh, that conference on forensic psychology and academics, and, well, I recently
00:30:15talked to him because, you know, Ike does some work with, um, law enforcement.
00:30:19And, um, well, you know, I wanted to get his advice about you and, you know, theoretically
00:30:25about next best steps were you being blackmailed by a client.
00:30:30Why?
00:30:31Well...
00:30:32What?
00:30:33Why would you do that?
00:30:33Because I was concerned.
00:30:35Because I am still very, very concerned.
00:30:37You, but...
00:30:39Law enforcement?
00:30:40Yes.
00:30:44Yes.
00:31:00I...
00:31:04Who is this person that you talked to?
00:31:06Well, Ike, he's a psychiatrist.
00:31:10Uh, I always forget his last name.
00:31:11It doesn't matter.
00:31:12Sometimes he consults and sometimes he testifies.
00:31:14But it's Ike.
00:31:15He's a friend of mine.
00:31:16Oh, oh, he's such a good friend, but you can't remember his last name.
00:31:19We talk to each other about cases sometimes.
00:31:20He's very discreet.
00:31:22Yeah, and you think that he's going to be loyal to you or to his pals in blue?
00:31:25Professional call.
00:31:26Why would loyalty have to...
00:31:27Okay, sweetie, have you done something?
00:31:30Or, I mean...
00:31:36You fucked it!
00:31:37You fucked it, Gary!
00:31:39What did you tell him?
00:31:40What's happening?
00:31:41What's happening right now, Joanne?
00:31:43What did you do?
00:31:44I...
00:31:44What did you...
00:31:45Joanne, listen to me.
00:31:46Look...
00:31:46Okay.
00:31:47Was there a professional lives?
00:31:51Was it Duncan Park?
00:31:53Okay, great.
00:31:55Look, sweetie, just tell me what it's all about.
00:31:56What does he have in you do, and what does he have on you?
00:32:01Nothing.
00:32:02Nothing.
00:32:03Barely a thing.
00:32:05Look, I could...
00:32:06I could explain it all.
00:32:08But, Gary, if you could just believe me, it would make things a lot easier.
00:32:15Okay.
00:32:16Look, I'm not the enemy here.
00:32:18I'm with you, okay?
00:32:20And you will tell me when you're ready to tell me.
00:32:26I have been buried alone.
00:32:29I'm sorry.
00:32:31I'm here.
00:32:35I hate him so much.
00:32:38There are no words for how much I hate him.
00:32:44Okay.
00:32:45He...
00:32:45He's gonna be interviewed.
00:32:47Oh.
00:32:47In just a few minutes.
00:32:49Mm-hmm.
00:32:49Upstairs, and I...
00:32:50I need to go see him be humiliated.
00:32:53Okay, I'm sorry.
00:32:54No, honey.
00:32:55Listen, listen.
00:32:56You know, your counter-transference is...
00:32:57It's really off the map here, so maybe you don't go.
00:33:01I have to.
00:33:03Think of it as reconnaissance.
00:33:12He was the co-founder of Fafa, and then Hypernosis.
00:33:19And now he has a new company.
00:33:21Privacy is not a thing anymore.
00:33:23Or Pinnata.
00:33:26Ladies and gentlemen, please welcome to the stage, Duncan Park.
00:33:43Many would accuse you of recklessly toying with millions of people's private data, offering
00:33:51to swing the door open to creeps and stalkers for a monthly subscription fee.
00:33:59Do you want to talk about reckless?
00:34:02Silicon Valley uses people's private data the way the computers in the Matrix use humans as batteries.
00:34:08I mean, if Congress passed a law barring companies from collecting millions of data points on people's private lives, privacy
00:34:18was a right and not a polite suggestion, I'm sorry, this entire industry would fall on its collective dick.
00:34:25But until that point, I'm going to exploit the situation and make money.
00:34:30Oh, no, no, no, listen, listen.
00:34:33No, hey, no.
00:34:35Your outrage is fake.
00:34:38You just don't like seeing your reflection in my business model.
00:34:41The data that Pinnata uses, which launches in the new year, by the way, the data is out there.
00:34:46It is vulnerable and not because of me.
00:34:49No, the people in this room and the companies they represent have taken it and sold it and are doing
00:34:56it a billion times per second as we speak.
00:34:58Okay, I'm just the conduit.
00:35:00I'm, I'm, I'm Dungie Leaks.
00:35:07Well, there are also rumors that you have acquired the genetic data of millions of Mixi customers.
00:35:15Is that true?
00:35:16And will you likewise make the DNA of these people publicly accessible?
00:35:21Oh, excuse me, to your platinum subscribers.
00:35:25Guilty.
00:35:26It is true.
00:35:27Huh.
00:35:27Well, it's one thing to peddle individuals' predilections, but it is another more nefarious thing to traffic in what runs
00:35:37through our veins.
00:35:39Was there a question there, Nana?
00:35:41No, I'm sorry.
00:35:42I'm sorry.
00:35:43I'm just trying to understand what it is that you plan to do with this very private and sensitive information.
00:35:52People, um, people in the audience stating men, wouldn't you like to know if that guy's going to go bald
00:35:58or if he's going to have a coronary or having kids with this guy?
00:36:02What, what does that mean?
00:36:04I mean, probability for things like intelligence, physical stamina, drug addiction.
00:36:10What if there, there's schizophrenia in the family?
00:36:12How about if you're hiring this guy or insuring this guy or admitting him to your college?
00:36:19How about admitting him to your country?
00:36:26Well, now that sounds like, like you're describing eugenics or some fascistic plan.
00:36:33Okay, now, this is going to be harder for you to boo at.
00:36:37With Pinata, you're able to target people prone to gaining weight, alcoholism, bad breath.
00:36:43You already do it.
00:36:44I mean, you track women and their menstrual cycles.
00:36:46You know when to sell them stilettos and when to sell them sweatpants.
00:36:50This is just the natural progression of what happens when capital rewards immersive data.
00:36:56All right, you make some points, Mr. Park.
00:36:59Some?
00:37:00Some points.
00:37:00Yes, but sophistry, dressed as brutal honesty, is the kind of rhetoric that paves the way for nihilism in business,
00:37:09if not politics.
00:37:10That's entertainment, Nana.
00:37:12Yes, yes it is.
00:37:30And to speak to that, you did promise us a demonstration of Pinata in action.
00:37:35Yes, I did.
00:37:35I did.
00:37:36And for that, I would like to bring out my partner at Pinata, Harper.
00:37:41Harper, come on out.
00:37:43Come on out.
00:37:43Yes, Harper.
00:37:45Um, although, I would like to take a moment to praise the engineers who are the real geniuses among us,
00:37:51right?
00:37:51Like Harper, like my old partner Hamish.
00:37:53We, we never give them enough credit, do we?
00:37:55Well, let's hear it for them.
00:37:59So, um, yes.
00:38:01Nana did spill the beans.
00:38:03I did acquire Mixi, and I want to show you how it is the tiger in our Pinata tank.
00:38:11In combination, we will be able to give our subscribers a full picture.
00:38:16So, at this point, I'm gonna, I want the audience to shout out someone that you want to get to
00:38:20know better.
00:38:21Let's say the Pope, their, their kids, uh, tutor with weird tattoos.
00:38:25I don't know, someone in the room?
00:38:26Want to volunteer?
00:38:27You want to volunteer?
00:38:28How about Duncan Park?
00:38:29Duncan Park.
00:38:29Yep.
00:38:32Very funny.
00:38:34Yes, Carl.
00:38:35Carl Bardoff, everyone.
00:38:37Wow.
00:38:42Dinosaurs still do exist, right?
00:38:45But seriously, let's, let's shout out a name.
00:38:47Duncan Park!
00:38:50Duncan Park.
00:38:51Duncan Park.
00:38:52Duncan Park.
00:38:53Duncan Park.
00:38:56Duncan Park.
00:38:57Duncan Park.
00:38:58Duncan Park.
00:39:00Duncan Park.
00:39:01Duncan Park.
00:39:02Duncan Park.
00:39:04Duncan Park.
00:39:05I do have to admit, I've always wanted to hear you people chanting my name, but not quite like this.
00:39:11Um, uh.
00:39:12Hey, listen, we're not gonna do my data.
00:39:15Absolutely not, but we'll do the DNA part, okay?
00:39:17Right?
00:39:17Yeah?
00:39:17Go on with me.
00:39:18Okay.
00:39:18Good shit.
00:39:19Okay, okay, the mob has spoken.
00:39:21Well, do me.
00:39:22Unfortunately, I wasn't foolish enough to give my DNA away,
00:39:25but the interconnectivity of our very genetic code might lead us to some of my idiot cousins, right?
00:39:32Harper!
00:39:33How about you show me Derek Park of Toledo, Ohio?
00:39:37Come on down!
00:39:39There he is.
00:39:40Look at him.
00:39:41Okay, see, with Panada, we are able to blend all our data with everything Mixie knows about your DNA,
00:39:48but never, never used to show you.
00:39:51Harper, hit that.
00:39:52Hit that.
00:39:53Deep dive.
00:39:55Okay, here we go.
00:39:56Derek.
00:39:57Derek is in debt.
00:39:58Oh, my gosh.
00:39:59He is colorblind.
00:40:00He has bacne.
00:40:01Yummy.
00:40:02Three DUIs and ladies.
00:40:03He is single and looking for love, but mostly on gamblesluts.com.
00:40:09And that's just the tip of the iceberg for what we got on Derek.
00:40:13Harper, let's see some of Derek's closest relatives.
00:40:18To the Valley of Hearts Delight.
00:40:20That's me right there, obviously.
00:40:21You can see the resemblance.
00:40:22But as you notice, there is no deep dive option because I'm a Platinum member, and you can be too.
00:40:29You can.
00:40:30Let's hit the family tree, Harper.
00:40:32Here we go.
00:40:34Oh, there's my sweet girl right there.
00:40:36And then my better half, Lily.
00:40:38No deep dive there, Harper.
00:40:40Don't want to show you that.
00:40:40We just want to say hi.
00:40:42Let's click on Jameson's family tree.
00:40:44My wife's side.
00:40:45She has some real mutants.
00:40:47This is going to be fun.
00:40:50As you see, you can now click through the list of things.
00:40:53There's cousin.
00:40:54Harper, let's click grandparents.
00:40:57Let's see if they have a favorite porn site.
00:41:00Uh-oh, where to now?
00:41:02Where in the world are we going?
00:41:04We are going to Wichita, Kansas.
00:41:06Who's in Wichita?
00:41:21Kill it, Harper.
00:41:22Kill it.
00:41:24Sorry.
00:41:25Sorry.
00:41:26So sorry.
00:41:27As you know, still, we might have some bugs to squash.
00:41:31But fortunately, I know this crowd understands beta.
00:41:34But still, how embarrassing.
00:41:37But I think you're able to see the power that we have here.
00:41:44So we launch in the new year.
00:41:46And if you like what you heard and saw today, please join our Panada family.
00:41:51Go to privacyisnotathinganymore.com and subscribe.
00:41:57Dana, this was wonderful.
00:42:20Wasn't our wonderful orchestra...
00:42:23Wonderful?
00:42:27Yes.
00:42:29Now, we have been listening to what you, the parents, have been asking of us.
00:42:35And this year, Mark lost his moment in becoming the athletic powerhouse
00:42:40to the same degree we're already an academic powerhouse.
00:42:45I fixed it.
00:42:48I fixed it for Jamie.
00:42:51And I would only add, if I spoke in Latin...
00:42:54What?
00:42:57It did not go well.
00:42:58Is it true?
00:43:03Is it true?
00:43:04What are you talking...
00:43:05Is it true, Lily?
00:43:05Duncan, I'm about to go on stage.
00:43:12You and Hamish.
00:43:19Okay.
00:43:21Is Jameson mine?
00:43:25May I ask you a question?
00:43:27Please.
00:43:28It's okay.
00:43:30Please.
00:43:32Please.
00:43:32No, please.
00:43:33No, please.
00:43:34Please.
00:43:35Please.
00:43:37Please.
00:43:38Please.
00:43:39Please.
00:43:41Please.
00:43:42Park Hofstetter!
00:44:16Duncan Park, just the man I was looking for.
00:44:22What do you want for it?
00:44:25For Panada.
00:44:34Could you tell us who acquire Panada?
00:44:37If the terms are right.
00:44:42Hey, hang on, hang on, hang on.
00:44:43I just spoke with Big Tim, and he's motivated, okay?
00:44:47How much did you say it's worth?
00:44:48A billion.
00:44:49Come on, that's aggressive for an opening you haven't even launched yet.
00:44:52Why don't you just come in tomorrow morning and-
00:44:54$350 million.
00:44:55That's how much Cupertino was going to pay for hypernosis until you killed it.
00:44:59So that's how much it's worth.
00:45:01$350 million.
00:45:02Okay, wait, wait.
00:45:06I can't make that deal myself, but after that speech, everyone in there is just a little
00:45:11bit afraid of you now, okay?
00:45:12So you've got leverage.
00:45:14Then why am I talking to you?
00:45:17$350 million.
00:45:17$350 million.
00:45:19$350 million.
00:45:19Talk to your boss.
00:45:33Yeah.
00:45:36Okay.
00:45:52I'm sorry.
00:45:56Really, I'm really sorry.
00:46:19I'm really sorry.
00:46:40Sweetie, it's Mom leaving you a message.
00:46:42Um, I wanted you to know I fixed it, okay?
00:46:46So, I love you.
00:46:51And I'll see you tonight.
00:46:53I love you.
00:47:09I love you.
00:47:12I love you.
00:47:28I love you.
00:47:39I love you.
00:47:45I love you.
00:47:55I love you.
00:48:02I love you.
00:48:04I love you.
00:48:05Jamie?
00:48:06Mommy?
00:48:36What is that?
00:48:40Wait, what?
00:49:21We need your coffee.
00:49:23Thanks, Selma.
00:49:24Is Jameson awake?
00:49:26Still sleeping.
00:49:27Okay.
00:49:28Her friend, Desi, stayed over.
00:49:30Des?
00:49:33Okay.
00:49:41That is oat.
00:49:44I said cashew.
00:50:06I said cashew.
00:50:17I said cashew.
00:50:20I said cashew.
00:50:45I said cashew.
00:50:47I said cashew.
00:51:01I said cashew.
00:51:05I said cashew.
00:51:26I said cashew.
00:51:29I said cashew.
00:51:39I said cashew.
00:51:42I said cashew.
00:51:43To school?
00:51:45Good?
00:51:46Yeah.
00:51:46It's great.
00:51:48Mm-hmm.
00:51:49And, um, we still need to talk.
00:51:53When you're ready.
00:51:54Yeah, we will.
00:52:27Hey, what do we say about listening to our bodies?
00:52:30If you've got to go, go ahead.
00:52:31We're in no rush, right?
00:52:33I took Mom's gun.
00:52:36What?
00:52:37What do you mean?
00:52:38I took Mom's gun.
00:52:39What do you mean you took Mom's gun?
00:52:41I took... I'm sorry.
00:52:42Orson, it's not a toy.
00:52:44That's an instrument of death.
00:52:45I know. I know. I know.
00:52:45I'm sorry.
00:52:46Don't be sorry.
00:52:48I don't want to hear that you're sorry.
00:52:49Okay.
00:52:50Just, Orson, listen to me.
00:52:51Put it back.
00:52:52Just put it back.
00:52:54I don't have it.
00:52:55God!
00:52:56No, I'm sorry.
00:52:57Fuck!
00:52:57Jesus, Orson.
00:52:58I was on that drug.
00:52:59I don't care.
00:53:00I mean, you were so right.
00:53:00It's so poison.
00:53:01I don't want to hear about the drug.
00:53:02I don't want to hear about the future.
00:53:04This is the nightmare.
00:53:06It's registered under my name.
00:53:08Okay, it's okay.
00:53:08I know where it is.
00:53:10But what?
00:53:12I might need you to help me get it back.
00:53:18Oh.
00:53:45Can I have a cup of coffee?
00:54:03Dying breed is one soul closer to extinction, that's for sure.
00:54:08Without men like Ken, guys like Ken.
00:54:12They were the glue, brother.
00:54:15Messy and inefficient, but for a long while there, they kept everything from coming apart.
00:54:23Men like that.
00:54:27Tom knew the future was no place for him.
00:54:36Nothing sticks for you, does it?
00:54:38You don't mind the dumpster fire?
00:54:39Not if it's in the rear view.
00:54:40You just keep moving headlong, right?
00:54:43You just...
00:54:44The past has no value for me.
00:54:46Correct me if I'm wrong, but wasn't Gabe going to give money to Francis and James of Wichita, Kansas, your
00:54:54wife's daughter's grandparents?
00:54:58Good luck out running in that.
00:55:04Okay.
00:55:06Okay.
00:55:07Okay, okay.
00:55:08Okay, look, I will tell you what happened last night.
00:55:14Cupertino offered me $350 million for Panada.
00:55:19Okay, so they're scared.
00:55:20They're terrified.
00:55:23So this thing was a hostage play?
00:55:25Pay me or the whole industry gets it?
00:55:27Is that what this is?
00:55:28No.
00:55:29All I knew was if I could take the threats, the hate, the ridicule, and just survive and never go
00:55:36away, they would have no choice but to pay me.
00:55:40Well, congratulations, then.
00:55:45I didn't say yes to it yet.
00:55:47I'll tell you the offer I would take.
00:55:50Hibernosis acquires Panada.
00:55:52Apply the power of our 360-degree profile engine to the data of 16 million vets and, of course, the
00:55:59DNA profile to millions and millions more.
00:56:03I'm not paying $351 million.
00:56:05It's yours for a dollar.
00:56:06It's ours.
00:56:09Because then I would get my hat back.
00:56:12Founder class shares and options.
00:56:14We do a sidecar deal for Mixi.
00:56:16And I am CEO again.
00:56:18And we do what we planned.
00:56:20And you and I set off for Domination Station.
00:56:24We break everything worth breaking.
00:56:26Give Big Tim ass hives in the shape of our grinning faces.
00:56:37Not now. Not today.
00:56:46I have to make a move on this.
00:56:50They're trying to save their way of life by paying me off.
00:56:53If I don't take it, next step, they end me.
00:56:58Unless I align with someone with the resources and the balls to fight.
00:57:03And then we make the rules.
00:57:07One dollar.
00:57:23You got my coffee?
00:57:25Got your coffee.
00:57:34We could have set the world on fire.
00:57:54We could have set the world on fire.
00:57:55I've to make a move.
00:58:21Hello?
00:58:22Hello?
00:58:23Dr. Selber?
00:58:24Joanne Selber?
00:58:25Yes?
00:58:26This is Special Agent Randy Fleming with the FBI.
00:58:29Do you have a moment to talk?
00:58:35Um...
00:58:44I want the audience to shout out someone that you want to get to know better.
00:58:48Someone in the room?
00:58:48How about Duncan Park?
00:58:50Duncan Park!
00:58:51Duncan Park!
00:58:51Duncan Park!
00:58:52Duncan Park!
00:58:54Duncan!
00:58:54Duncan's always talking about, throughout the season, some version of falling on your own
00:58:57dick.
00:58:58In Episode 8, that's what he does.
00:59:03Harper, let's click grandparents.
00:59:05Where in the world are we going?
00:59:08We are going to Wichita, Kansas!
00:59:10Who's in Wichita?
00:59:15Tech, being married to secrets and privacy, they really wanted to show what that pitfall
00:59:21might look like and see Duncan fall into it.
00:59:28What?
00:59:30You and Hamish.
00:59:32Jameson is not his daughter, biologically.
00:59:35And it's clear that Lily's been waiting for this moment and has been dreading that moment.
00:59:41Can I ask you a question?
00:59:43I am so...
00:59:44Please!
00:59:45Just being there on the day, oh God, the way that Lucy Punch plays it...
00:59:50Please!
00:59:51...was really something to say.
00:59:53Lily Park Hofstetter!
00:59:59Sweetie, just tell me what it's all about.
01:00:02Gary, if you could just believe me, it would make things a lot easier.
01:00:08Okay.
01:00:09I think that Joanne is capable of telling a very carefully crafted narrative for Gary's consumption.
01:00:15We still need to talk.
01:00:17When you're ready.
01:00:19Yeah, we will.
01:00:20Gary leaves the season not knowing that the FBI called Joanne, but you certainly see it on Sarah Goldberg's face
01:00:26when that call comes in.
01:00:28Do you have a moment to talk?
01:00:30Um...
01:00:30This is going to be a problem for her.
01:00:33We're not going to be giving our presentation anymore.
01:00:35Okay, yeah.
01:00:36Uh, why is that?
01:00:38Uh, because what we needed to happen already happened.
01:00:41Martin finds out that Xander's been licensed by Bardolph.
01:00:44He's got two mortal enemies now.
01:00:46Because one of them just fucked him over and the other one was fucking his wife.
01:00:50Did the data ingestion happen?
01:00:51All the vet's personnel files?
01:00:53Mm-hmm.
01:00:54Whew, okay.
01:00:56Okay, and now all of them belong to him.
01:00:58In the course of this story, where we're always hinting at the dangers of the tech world, of what human
01:01:04fallibility and blindness can lead to, there had to be a cost.
01:01:09He's going to do what I was going to do.
01:01:10Just rent it out to pharma, lobbyist, insurance.
01:01:14And you and that civil servant faith of yours made it all possible.
01:01:19I suppose if there's ever a moment in the course of this whole season where I want people to really
01:01:24think about something, an issue.
01:01:27If you treat these guys like garbage, who's going to want that job that can do that job well with
01:01:32the right intentions?
01:01:33And it's, I think, a fundamentally existential question that our society really needs to be asking itself.
01:01:40What do we do without guys like that?
01:01:42What do we do without guys like that?
01:01:42And you can't ask that question without taking him away.
01:02:07As hard as it was to do, I had to take him away so that you understood the value of
01:02:12him.
01:02:12Guys like him, they were the glue brother.
01:02:17Tom knew the future was no place for him.
01:02:20Going forward, even the hopeful stories are going to be filled with challenges.
01:02:25Got my coffee?
01:02:27Got your coffee.
01:02:29When Duncan leaves Bardolph and says, we could have set the world on fire.
01:02:33And then Bardolph gets a dollar, the price that Duncan offered him for Panada and all of the data from
01:02:38Mixie.
01:02:38I think that we should feel like they might just go do that.
01:02:58And then Bardolph is saying, we could have had a new application.
01:03:04Or I can't.
01:03:06I can't get that.
01:03:06I can't get it.
01:03:06I can't get it.
01:03:06I can't get it.
01:03:08We can't get it.
01:03:08You can't get it.
01:03:09I can't get that.
01:03:09I can't get it.
