00:00Women who fought for us to be here, they want to pay you.
00:04It's for your help.
00:05Why don't you tell me what I'm doing here?
00:06How would you like to be interim CEO?
00:38I'm proud of you, bastards.
00:40You know the cost, now earn the ground.
00:42McGuire, you're on the Widowmaker.
00:44Fix bayonets and cut them to ribbons, boys.
00:50And if God is watching, he's seen worse and said nothing.
00:55Let's go!
01:02Get a bayonet, you're right in the chest.
01:04You should fall right down.
01:05Fall, fall, fall!
01:07You don't try, you're done!
01:11And bang, you are dead.
01:14Oh, nice touch.
01:18What, are you guys signing a treaty?
01:20There's a war!
01:28Boom!
01:29Boom!
01:29Stab to the face!
01:29You're dead!
01:32What kind of German machinery is this fucking thing?
01:36What is that, a Cadillac?
01:41Hi.
01:44Sorry.
01:45Um, strategy confab at 10 o'clock.
01:48No?
01:49Thank you for fucking up the verisimilitude.
01:56Are you playing, Wordle?
01:58Oh!
02:08Come on!
02:08Come on!
02:09Come on, come on your back!
02:10Oh!
02:26Duncan, what are you doing here?
02:28Just came to talk business and I got you a little present.
02:31I don't care for business at home.
02:33Who's that to call?
02:34Oh, come on.
02:35Better mano you a mano, you know?
02:37And just open it.
02:38Open, open, open, open.
02:39Open, open, open, open.
02:42It's a truffle.
02:44For my favorite truffle pick.
02:47You seem to be taking the news well.
02:49What am I taking well?
02:53Don't you know?
02:54Uh, I don't know what...
02:56I don't know.
02:58Karl Badov.
02:59He's tapped me to be the CEO.
03:04Fabulous.
03:05I mean, CEO of what?
03:10Hyponosis, Duncan.
03:11That's the name of my company.
03:13I didn't ask for the job.
03:16Karl came to me.
03:17Okay.
03:18I get it now.
03:19He's using you to get to me.
03:21I don't think that's what this is.
03:22Yeah, I'm sorry it is.
03:23It is.
03:23I'm in the midst of realigning the company's mission.
03:26Jesus, I was gone for a few days and now you have a mission?
03:28You had a breakdown and fled.
03:29I did not have a breakdown.
03:32At any rate, Karl's put his full faith in me.
03:35I intend to lead hypnosis and earn that trust.
03:38Okay.
03:39I mean, okay.
03:42Okay.
03:42Okay.
03:43Yeah.
03:43Okay.
03:44Stop saying okay.
03:45Okay.
03:45How about...
03:48We...
03:50shared the chair.
03:52I know we could do one of those...
03:53What do you call it?
03:54You know, a prajelina?
03:55You like the sound of dushka?
03:59Okay.
04:00You're holding out for a nunkin?
04:03Fine.
04:04The point is...
04:06Power come.
04:08I won't deny it.
04:09I'm, like, super hurt because you tried to destroy me with an end of peace and I'm still kind of
04:12hurting now.
04:13But then I learned we hurt others because we care.
04:16We hurt because we love.
04:19Yeah.
04:20So I came here...
04:25Because I asked Lily for a divorce.
04:28No, you didn't.
04:28Yeah.
04:28It was a good conversation.
04:30Yeah.
04:30She took it.
04:31Well, the thing is, I want to be with you.
04:33I want to be really, really with you.
04:38You know, it's not just about the CEO thing.
04:40Would be nice.
04:41But, come on, you feel the same.
04:43You know it.
04:45I'm afraid I do not feel the same way.
04:49Same in your own way.
04:50Duncan, please.
04:52Martin's right there.
04:53There's nothing to hide.
04:54She's quiet.
04:55Those of us with a modicum of shame have a great deal to hide.
04:57Come on.
04:58Noosh.
04:59Come on.
04:59You want me.
05:02Like I want to eat a can of frosting.
05:06A three-quarters can of cake frosting that I found at the back of my fridge.
05:11That's hard and crusty at the top.
05:14Sounds yummy.
05:15Mmm.
05:16First bite, maybe.
05:18But the rest is self-hatred.
05:22I don't wish to share a chair with you, or an office, or a company, or a bed.
05:31Come on, Anoush.
05:36Otherwise, it's...
05:39It's war.
05:42I think you don't really is war.
05:47Do you think you're winning?
05:50Wow.
05:50I came to apologize, offer you my love, my talent, and you shit on it.
06:00Like I'm a sidewalk.
06:02I bought you a $4,000 truffle.
06:09And you're, you're...
06:11Not a fun guy.
06:24It's war it is.
06:39It's...
06:58Hey, uh, you got a minute?
07:00Uh, next patient, just arrived.
07:02Yeah, mine did too.
07:03Okay, so maybe later.
07:04Yeah, real quick.
07:06Uh, your 401k, there's what, like $800,000 in there?
07:09Uh, yeah.
07:10Why?
07:11Well, if we cashed, say, $700 now, the tax hit would be significant, but we'd clear, what,
07:16like $400?
07:17Uh, no.
07:17That's our security.
07:18This house could be our security, and it is going to sell by the end of the week!
07:24Wait, so you tell me that your, your plan now is to cash out our old age, pennies on
07:30the dollar, for overpriced real estate?
07:32We only need 20% down, Gary!
07:36Okay, unless my math is totally off, $400,000 is nowhere near 20%.
07:42You're missing, like, a million and change.
07:44Well, I, I, uh, I have access, a plan to access.
07:49A million dollars, pray tell.
07:52The plan?
07:53Mm-hmm.
07:53It's, uh, uh, a financial instrument, a sort of, uh, advanced second mortgage introductory
07:59rate asset swap.
08:01But, you know, never mind.
08:03Play it safe.
08:05Lose our home.
08:07Our offices.
08:08Safe.
08:13Last time I, I saw her, we had sex.
08:16Did I do it wrong?
08:18That seems unlikely.
08:21Yeah.
08:22I don't know, but it's like, to go from, God.
08:27It was so hot.
08:28And then to take your chop.
08:31So, she's a new CEO?
08:33Is she, have they made an announcement?
08:36I see what you're doing.
08:37Just stick to my psychology.
08:39You know, you can make your next million tomorrow on someone else's insider information.
08:43I wasn't.
08:44Just, where was I?
08:45It was, um, right, my childhood.
08:47When I was young, we kind of grew up poor.
08:52Really?
08:53And Dad immigrated here.
08:55You know, we lived in a house that smelled like cabbage.
08:57Kind of like this one.
08:58And, you know, in the winter, I would have to wear this, this hat that my baba sent me.
09:04This Serbian hat.
09:06It was kind of like a furry, black hat.
09:10Like, uh, a fuzzy dunce cap.
09:16And on the playground, there was this kid.
09:19And he grabbed my hat.
09:21And he ran off.
09:26And everyone laughed at me.
09:28And your old side piece stole your hat.
09:31Yes.
09:32I let my guard down.
09:34And she distracted me with sex.
09:36And now she has my hat, which she's wearing like, like as if her baba sent it.
09:41She stole that hat.
09:44And I can't let her keep it.
09:47That's my hat.
09:48Unless I blow up her car with a car bomb, then no one gets that.
09:54Duncan, buy a new hat.
09:57You can afford any hat you want.
10:00That's what money does.
10:01It's not sexy.
10:02It's security.
10:04Because nobody can say, get out of the sandbox, if you own the sandbox.
10:08It's not sexy.
10:14It's not sexy.
10:43Hello.
10:58I have a vision for hypnosis, new direction, new mandate, and perhaps the beginning of
11:06a new approach to data, responsible, trusted, ethical.
11:12I saw something recently that inspired me.
11:16I was attempting to speak with a gentleman in our engineering corps, but they were preoccupied
11:20to the point of mania with what I believe is called a supercut of drivers in the new self-driving
11:26Torren San Antonio.
11:28While the car was busy self-driving, the drivers were busy self-pleasuring.
11:35All the footage was filmed by their own driver-side cameras, which the Torren User Agreement assures
11:40buyers will solely be used for driver safety.
11:44Yes, quite so.
11:45And for those of you bursting with overweening pride, having never wanked whilst going AT
11:49on the 210, I assure you, there were also compilations of deep-dive nose pickers, ugly
11:55criers, finger sniffers, parents yelling obscenities at their children, something for and of everyone.
12:02And sadly, Torren's definition of words like safety and privacy are industry standard.
12:09Data collection is a mutual agreement to surrender privacy for service, we all know that.
12:14Well, we do, but we work in this business.
12:16We know to reject all the tricks they use to track us.
12:22You must be joking.
12:24You do reject all non-essential cookies, right?
12:27Always.
12:28No.
12:30My God.
12:32Who with half a brain wants to live under surveillance by their car?
12:35Their television, toothbrush, refrigerator, fucking smart light bulbs.
12:41I'm sorry.
12:42Human dignity requires privacy.
12:45Can I just ask, if we're dialing back what we do, when do you want to go back to?
12:51Harley, I don't wish to-
12:52Harper.
12:53CTO.
12:56Harper.
12:58I don't wish to go back.
13:00What about 15 years ago?
13:02Yes.
13:03There was a fork in the road.
13:05And it would seem to me we took the wrong turn.
13:07Now, the first client I'd like to see is this Torren car company.
13:16I appreciate it.
13:18Jesus.
13:25I mean, I knew it'd be hard.
13:28It's always been hard, but I thought that this time would be different.
13:33Tom, maybe this isn't the moment, but I don't think there's ever going to be a good one.
13:38Oh, shit.
13:39Yeah.
13:41Look at that face.
13:43That is a nervous, if beautiful man.
13:47Uh, can we, uh, you want to do this over a drink?
13:50I think you're good.
13:52Yeah.
13:53Okay.
13:54I got an offer.
13:55A guy I knew at Yale.
13:57It's a defense company.
13:59They do AISMR, which turns out is not sexy whispering.
14:03Uh, it's surveillance, military reconnaissance.
14:07They're paying.
14:08They got money to seal the deal with Voorhees.
14:12Actually.
14:14Yeah.
14:15DOD money.
14:16Three billion.
14:19Oh, you are finding all new ways to break my heart.
14:22I'm still and always will be your friend.
14:26I don't need a friend.
14:28I need a vendor who'll take our goddamn money and help some goddamn people
14:34before the money vanishes and I've done no fucking good whatsoever.
14:39Well, maybe I can do some good from the inside.
14:45Yeah, I...
14:47I know.
14:50You will be compromised, corrupted, and become complacent.
14:55You know how I know that?
14:58Because you are leaving!
15:00And you're going there.
15:02You're going there.
15:03So the only move worthy of your respect is to stick it out for another 30 years of...
15:10of this?
15:18That's all.
15:25You're right.
15:32Yeah...
15:40Hey.
15:43Um...
15:44I've been thinking about what you said.
15:48about the Big D.
15:52And I just want to say that
15:54if you're going to leave me,
15:58now was a horrible time to do it.
16:01For you.
16:02Lily, you deserve half of a lot more
16:05than where we're at right now.
16:07Financially.
16:08I couldn't have gotten any of it
16:10without you by my side.
16:11Really, seriously.
16:11And you deserve better.
16:13You do.
16:14Give me a chance to rebuild.
16:16Hypernosis, without me now,
16:17is doing like ethical data,
16:19which is like virtuous sex trafficking.
16:20And I'm going to zag.
16:22Not sure how yet,
16:24but give me a few months to try.
16:26After that, then you can leave.
16:28And I will be crushed,
16:30but at least I will know
16:31that you got everything you ought to get.
16:37And in the meantime,
16:39maybe we can try to fix things.
16:43We can do what other people do.
16:45We're not doing marriage counseling.
16:46Sex therapist?
16:47You're a marriage counselor.
16:48We can do that.
16:49Well, for starters,
16:50I want you to never see Anushka again.
16:52I don't even want to hear her name.
16:53Listen, I want nothing to do with her.
16:55Nothing.
16:55Other than maybe destroy her.
16:58But...
17:00I literally might have to see her, though,
17:02like at school functions, board meetings.
17:05Just don't ever be alone with her.
17:08Okay.
17:09Ever.
17:10Again.
17:11Deal.
17:12Deal.
17:12The easiest deal I've ever made.
17:14I give that to you happily.
17:18Tell me what else you want.
17:20Anything else?
17:21What do you want?
17:25I'll let you know.
17:34See you Thursday.
17:37See you Thursday.
18:05I'll let you know.
18:09Your sexist faces are always talking.
18:11Even when they're not.
18:12You look particularly at her pupils.
18:14If they're dilated,
18:15it means she wants to see more of you.
18:17She's interested in you, bro.
18:19Earlobes.
18:19If she's flushed,
18:21she's good to go.
18:22You can take her out for dinner later.
18:25Perfect.
18:30So, what is your deal, bro?
18:33I live here.
18:35You're not supposed to be down here.
18:37You want me to leave?
18:40I didn't say that.
18:43So, what do you do down here?
18:45Other than getting swole.
18:48You're not.
18:50That was a joke.
18:51So.
18:53You listen in on your mom and dad's patience?
18:55Step dads.
18:57Do you?
19:00I would.
19:05I used to, when I was bored.
19:09You ever
19:11listen to me?
19:14Maybe.
19:15Once.
19:18It was one time.
19:20It was
19:20less than a minute, too.
19:22I didn't.
19:24In there?
19:27Yeah.
19:28They put the lock on
19:30for security.
19:31They never knew.
19:32So, even if I
19:33wanted to go back in,
19:34I don't even know the combo.
19:48My husband's company,
19:49Mixi,
19:50is being acquired
19:51by a big arm-holding entity.
19:55Carol, that's terrific.
19:57His
19:58stress levels
19:59were
20:00really
20:01affecting
20:01your stress levels.
20:03That can be tough.
20:05Hopefully,
20:05it all levels out
20:06after this deal
20:07is closed.
20:08How long do you think?
20:09And, uh,
20:10who's it with?
20:11This week?
20:12Apparently.
20:14I'm not supposed to say
20:15who it's with.
20:17Oh, yeah.
20:17Of course.
20:23Unify.
20:25Oh, sure.
20:26Good company.
20:27I'm so happy for you.
20:29I know what's missing.
20:31I know what's missing.
20:33Maybe.
20:34I worry
20:35also
20:36about him
20:37and
20:38I know
20:38the people
20:38of us.
20:41You're almost there.
20:42And,
20:43you know,
20:44with Mixi
20:45being acquired
20:45by a larger company,
20:47it could be
20:47what's been causing
20:48the inadequacy issues.
20:50Oh, Jesus.
20:51I think you're right.
20:53Oh,
20:54so good.
20:55Oh.
20:57Have a great week.
20:58Take care.
21:02Okay.
21:04Mixi.
21:05M-Y-X-Y.
21:10Just a bit of a letdown.
21:12Yeah.
21:13Told you.
21:15Okay, dude.
21:20Let's do it again sometime.
21:22Okay.
21:23Seems like you can peek through
21:24with only three fingers.
21:27Yes.
21:28We will make that
21:28clear graphically,
21:29but you see where we're going.
21:30I'm not sure I do.
21:31You want to not do the work
21:33that we hired you to do?
21:34Okay.
21:35Think about
21:35how and why
21:36you buy organic,
21:37right?
21:37You pay extra
21:38for a sticker
21:39that promises
21:40the highest standards.
21:42Eliminates perversions
21:42and corporate shortcuts.
21:43This badge
21:45on Ohm
21:46says to your customers
21:47every other car company
21:49is spying on you,
21:49stealing your secrets,
21:51selling them
21:51to the highest bidder.
21:53But at Torrin,
21:54what you do in your car
21:55stays in your car.
21:58It's your car.
21:59I don't buy organic.
22:01We sell trucks
22:02and SUVs.
22:03Do you even know our brand?
22:06Don't mind me.
22:12Look,
22:13privacy
22:14is what makes us us.
22:16Some things people
22:17just don't want recorded.
22:19Like how you collect
22:20your driver's sexual activity.
22:21Look,
22:22the insurance companies
22:23that you
22:23help us sell to
22:25for a profit
22:26want to know
22:27who's driving distracted.
22:28But do you need,
22:28for example,
22:29to monitor their weight gain?
22:30That appeals to the buyers
22:31to represent both
22:31fast food chains
22:32and diet pills.
22:33It's a winner.
22:33I'm not saying
22:34don't record navigation,
22:36reckless driving,
22:37listening habits even,
22:38but what's the benefit
22:40to recording
22:42the driver singing along?
22:43Well,
22:43you have polyps
22:44on your throat.
22:45Wouldn't you want to know?
22:46All of our clients
22:47agree to this.
22:4897 pages,
22:497-point font,
22:50and the car won't function
22:51as designed
22:52if you don't agree.
22:53It's not exactly
22:54an agreement.
22:55No, you're right.
22:56It's called
22:57a business model.
22:58The truth,
22:59we don't sell cars.
23:01We sell data collection devices
23:02on wheels
23:03with heated seats.
23:05Cars are expensive.
23:06Data has profit margins
23:07that you can drive
23:08a car with.
23:11Where's Duncan Park?
23:12He got it.
23:15Look,
23:16Park may be an idiot,
23:17but he knows how to sell,
23:18not just opine.
23:19Okay,
23:20so you took a flyer
23:20on a new idea.
23:21Takes guts.
23:22But run it by reality first,
23:24okay?
23:24You had your biggest clients
23:25laughing in your face.
23:27That's something
23:27to avoid in business.
23:28I told you exactly
23:29what I planned to do.
23:30Yeah, but interim CEO, right?
23:32That does not give you
23:33permission to tell everyone
23:34to stand on their desk
23:35and yell carpe diem.
23:36Go.
23:37The board meeting next week,
23:38okay?
23:38Plan a presentation
23:39that writes this.
23:40Tech, revenue, growth.
23:42It's simple.
23:43And convince me
23:43that I did not hire someone
23:44who thinks profit
23:45is a microaggression.
23:54What?
23:55What?
23:56Sorry.
23:57What?
23:57Somewhere from hypnosis
23:58is here for you.
24:00Who is it?
24:01No se.
24:02You're supposed to ask
24:03who it is
24:04and you get their calling card,
24:05you put it in a little tray,
24:06you bring it.
24:07Oh, it's you.
24:09You have a lot of art.
24:10Yeah.
24:13What do you want?
24:14What do you need?
24:15What do you offer?
24:17My services,
24:18what would you pay?
24:21Ethical data,
24:21not turning your crank.
24:24Well, I'm an engineer.
24:26I am an expert
24:27in data collection and analysis
24:29and she wants to hit pause
24:30on what I do.
24:31Oh.
24:31Not course correction, retreat.
24:33You know, buy a jet mask
24:34where the brakes are,
24:35you want to know
24:35how fast it can go
24:36and how to make it go even faster.
24:37And so why me?
24:39Why not somebody else?
24:40You have a really firm grasp
24:42on the lowest common denominator
24:43and that's just where
24:44the market's at right now.
24:45That's just,
24:47reality.
24:48And you're going to pay me
24:48top dollar
24:49because you see my talent
24:50and you know
24:51it won't be easy
24:51to find elsewhere.
24:54And you know
24:54that hiring me
24:55is going to keep her up at night.
24:58Okay.
25:00So what is the opposite
25:02of ethical data?
25:03Let's find out.
25:30Oh, do you smell that?
25:33Awful.
25:33Awful.
25:34I heard there were experiments
25:35done at Stanford
25:36in the 70s
25:37and some of this area
25:37got contaminated
25:38but that is ridiculous.
25:41Well, it's a tear down anyway.
25:44Not with those redwoods out front.
25:47No, they're protected.
25:48Good luck getting a permit
25:49to do anything here.
25:54Joanne?
25:55Irvin!
25:57Hi.
25:58How is Beth doing?
26:00She's fine.
26:01Good.
26:03You know the tenant's
26:03not supposed to be here, right?
26:05Well, I'm not just a tenant.
26:07I'm a potential buyer.
26:08Fine.
26:09You can make an offer
26:10whenever you'd like.
26:11Along with everyone else,
26:12of course.
26:13Well, will you please
26:14tell Beth
26:15that it'll be soon?
26:16Yeah, and
26:17it won't be all cash
26:18but we are gathering
26:19our 20% down
26:20and we are
26:22super motivated.
26:27Mom wants a new pair of shoes.
26:28Size three bedroom,
26:29two bathroom.
26:31Smells like burnt plastic
26:32but it's still home.
26:48Is that all there is?
26:53If that's all there is,
26:57my friends,
26:58then let's keep
27:02dancing.
27:04Let's break out
27:05the booze
27:06and have a ball
27:12if that's all
27:17there is.
27:23And then I fell in love
27:25with the most
27:26wonderful boy
27:27in the world.
27:29We take long walks
27:31down by the river
27:32and
27:34then one day
27:35he went to work
27:36for a private subsidiary
27:37in the defense department
27:38and I said to myself,
27:42You.
27:44I know you.
27:47You're that sweet smell
27:49before a stroke.
27:53Yeah.
27:54Here's to being tracked
27:55while day drinking
27:55in the armpit
27:56of Silicon Valley.
28:02So,
28:03hypnosis is under
28:04my control now.
28:06New direction
28:07and it's ethical.
28:09Oh, you don't believe me?
28:10Ask the clients
28:11who bailed
28:11when I dead
28:11speak that word.
28:14I want the VA
28:15contract back.
28:16I want to make up
28:17for what Duncan
28:18failed to do
28:19and I want it
28:19to be the centerpiece
28:20of what we do
28:21moving forward.
28:22Migrating data
28:23office system
28:23so old
28:23it predates seatbelts.
28:26You see that guy
28:27over by the pool table?
28:29Chester worked
28:29on the mump system.
28:31Even then,
28:31they were duct taping
28:32it together.
28:33You'd crawl
28:33into bed with that?
28:36Shoot,
28:36I don't even blame Duncan.
28:38I wouldn't fuck
28:39that flabby ass
28:39with your dick.
28:44Hey,
28:44why do you care?
28:46Really?
28:47Oh, you want it
28:48from the heart,
28:48do you?
28:50Okay.
28:56Your speech
28:57at Cupertino.
28:59How little
28:59these men and women
29:00ask in return.
29:02Well,
29:02I wouldn't be here
29:03if someone,
29:04a few someone's
29:05hadn't sacrificed
29:05for me in the midst
29:06of a war too.
29:07Now,
29:07I've heard scores
29:08of pitches
29:09from NGOs
29:09and charities.
29:10No goose bumps.
29:11All pro forma.
29:14But you broke
29:15through, Tom.
29:17And I was
29:18spot on about
29:19hypnosis being
29:20the right place
29:21for your cause.
29:21My mistake
29:22was thinking
29:23that Duncan
29:23could rise
29:24to the occasion.
29:25Duncan's a piece
29:25of shit.
29:28Maybe I thought
29:29you might help
29:29him be a better person.
29:33Oh,
29:34there it is.
29:35There it was.
29:36Huh.
29:37Finito.
29:38So what do you say?
29:40Another go?
29:41You're too late.
29:43Two days
29:43since I retired.
29:45Yep.
29:46Passed the torch
29:47before I singed
29:47my fingies.
29:48Good,
29:48I could hire you
29:49outright.
29:50A consultant.
29:51A sector specialist.
29:52There are plenty
29:53of others
29:53and you can find
29:54them who got
29:55into this
29:56for the money.
29:56I want you.
29:59Call Jeffrey.
30:01You know,
30:02I mean,
30:02he just took
30:02something new.
30:04Actually,
30:05you know what?
30:05Don't call him.
30:06Yeah,
30:07this job's
30:07too important.
30:08You need
30:09somebody who's
30:09all in.
30:13I mean,
30:14just out of
30:15curiosity.
30:16Quarter of a billion
30:16dollar deal,
30:17I could start you
30:17at a low
30:18seven-figure situation.
30:23Seven.
30:27That's, uh,
30:28counting the decimal
30:29places.
30:29Not including decimals.
30:31With room to grow.
30:37In 30 days,
30:38some are fancy
30:38where they can
30:39wring you dry.
30:40You need to get
30:41right on.
30:43Yeah,
30:43well,
30:43Secfi here
30:43as I've been
30:44in rehab,
30:44I'm not doing
30:45you a lick of good.
30:46You know,
30:46they say they
30:47understand,
30:48but they don't.
30:50Military people
30:50can't process
30:51weakness.
30:55You know,
30:56that's why
30:56I like that
30:56robot.
30:58That robot
30:58didn't judge,
31:00you know?
31:02The little guy,
31:03you know,
31:03uh,
31:04uh,
31:04what's his name?
31:05Alexander?
31:06Yeah.
31:07Yeah.
31:08Now,
31:09that's the kind
31:09of tech
31:10that could help
31:11people if,
31:12you know,
31:12you can get it
31:13to them.
31:16Should we drink
31:17to it?
31:19Last one.
31:39Anoushka
31:39Bhattachera,
31:40chief ethicist
31:41at Cupertino
31:42until recently,
31:43is a hypocrite.
31:44I mean,
31:44she has
31:45signed off
31:46on some
31:46of the
31:46most heinous
31:47corporate malfeasance
31:49you can imagine.
31:50And now,
31:51she wants to rid
31:51herself of that guilt.
31:52At your expense.
31:54Yep.
31:55She was right
31:55about one thing.
31:56Privacy
31:57has value.
31:59An unmind
32:00motherlode
32:01of value.
32:02Because
32:02privacy
32:03lives in a
32:04constant state
32:05of fear.
32:06And where there's
32:07fear,
32:07there is money
32:07to be made.
32:08I mean,
32:09we could already
32:09predict if,
32:10say,
32:10uh,
32:12you're gonna
32:12get a divorce.
32:13We will hit you
32:14with ads
32:15for lawyers,
32:16for plastic surgeons,
32:17gyms,
32:17dildos,
32:18teeth whitening,
32:18but if we could
32:20track in real time
32:21people's mental
32:22and emotional states.
32:23We can see
32:23whether somebody's
32:24feeling anxious,
32:25hungry,
32:25horny,
32:26distracted,
32:27determined.
32:27Basically,
32:28we know if you're
32:28banging your secretary
32:29before you do.
32:30If the issue's there,
32:31we'll provide the scratch.
32:32And that's legal.
32:33The American people
32:34have,
32:35through their
32:35elected representatives,
32:37given this question
32:38profound and careful
32:39thought.
32:40We had hearings,
32:41remember?
32:42What?
32:43Neither does
32:44anyone else.
32:46And do you know
32:47what Congress
32:47decided on all of
32:48these?
32:49That the industry
32:50would police itself.
32:51And you know
32:51what we did?
32:52We actually,
32:52we actually did,
32:53mostly.
32:54But there are
32:55so many things
32:55we can do
32:56if we wanted to,
32:57but we don't,
32:57even if it would
32:58make us a lot
32:58of money.
32:59Because of what?
33:00What are we afraid
33:00of?
33:01Another toothless
33:02congressional hearing?
33:03No,
33:03that,
33:04that mindset
33:05impedes innovation.
33:06I call that
33:07self-police brutality.
33:09Tech lives matter.
33:10Exactly.
33:11That's good.
33:11That's good.
33:12What about privacy?
33:13What about honesty?
33:16An actual virtue.
33:17I mean,
33:18I am building
33:18the data company
33:19I've always wanted.
33:20It's honest.
33:21No secrets.
33:22Because privacy
33:23is not a thing anymore.
33:25Or?
33:28Pinata.
33:29Pinata.
33:30And here's where
33:31we approach
33:31the bleeding edge
33:32of genius.
33:33At Pinata,
33:34for $29.99 a month,
33:35you can keep
33:36your data private.
33:37Or at least
33:37we won't sell it.
33:38But here's where
33:39it gets even better.
33:40For $299 a month,
33:42you can become
33:43a Platinum member.
33:45And you get to see
33:46what we see.
33:47The oceans
33:48of data streams
33:49on all your friends,
33:50families,
33:51lovers,
33:51strangers.
33:52Everything.
33:53Powered by AI
33:54to help you sift,
33:55of course.
33:55And then we put
33:56that subscription revenue
33:57in a profit-sharing pot
33:58in our data providers.
34:00That's you guys.
34:00Get a piece
34:01of that backend.
34:03If that's what
34:03you're into.
34:04And if you are,
34:05we'll know that too.
34:07Uh...
34:07Ha ha...
34:19There you are.
34:20Been looking for you.
34:23Did you come to bed
34:24last night?
34:34Tom Ruffage
34:35came to see me.
34:37Remember him?
34:38Our friend from the VA?
34:41Alex Fanta
34:42helped him
34:43immensely.
34:44He's hoping to scale
34:46that up at hypernotic...
34:47He has found this.
34:49In the trash.
34:52It wasn't simple,
34:54but I salvaged
34:54a memory of Xander's
34:55last encounter
34:56before the changes
34:57in his behavior profile.
35:05Martin.
35:08I'm so sorry.
35:10I've been under
35:11so much pressure
35:12at work.
35:12You're apologizing
35:13to me?
35:14You think an apology
35:15removes the encoded
35:16scar tissue?
35:19Martin.
35:20Come now.
35:21I can't do this
35:22again.
35:24This all feels
35:25way too familiar.
35:26I can't...
35:27have another
35:29abusive...
35:30situation
35:31in my house.
35:32My kids
35:33deserve better.
35:35Your kids.
35:37Right.
35:39Look.
35:39I'm not your ex.
35:42I'd never actually
35:43hurt anybody.
35:44How could you
35:45even say that?
35:45This is trauma.
35:47He is a learning
35:48living entity
35:49and you have
35:49inflicted an
35:51instructional fracture
35:52in his core.
35:54Just...
35:55Can you hear me out?
35:56No.
35:57Tom Ruffage!
35:58No, no.
35:58Get help!
35:59I mean it.
36:01Or...
36:03I don't know.
36:04Get a lawyer.
36:04doing to me here.
36:09Okay.
36:33I'll
36:46Oh, they went to see someone about a mortgage or something.
37:09Your mom has a lot of empty boxes and, like, things deliberately without any meaning.
37:15Yeah, she's deep in the shallow.
37:22So tell me about your childhood.
37:25What?
37:26Tell me!
37:27Okay, um, I was born to save the marriage, and it did not work.
37:35So instead I was just forced to live with a guy who thought being a cool dad meant crying on
37:41my shoulder at seven.
37:45Mine just closed the door and made these wounded animal sounds.
37:51Can I look through our drawers?
37:59Hello, Mr. Benzodiazepine.
38:14What the hell?
38:15Stop!
38:15Why does your mom have a gun?
38:17I don't know.
38:18Why is it tiny and pink?
38:20Imagine robbing a bank with this.
38:22You are not afraid.
38:24I can assure you my weapon is lethal.
38:27It is also from my Easter basket.

54:13therapist

54:17your puppet

54:20a bad guy after all
54:25we

54:27tellers
54:28truth tellers
54:28historically get burned alive
54:29hey
54:30buck up
54:32you met someone
54:33who got you
54:34turned out to be another creep
54:36hey duncan
54:37infinite growth isn't for everyone
54:41hi mary
54:41my name is alexander
54:42i'm from veterans affairs
54:44you are inviting
54:45a pushback
54:46that is going to feel like
54:47the wrath of god
54:49we're ahead
54:55uh audacity
54:56uh scene
54:58i wanted to do it
54:59professionally but
55:04in episode six
55:05one of the big themes
55:07of
55:07the
55:08show
55:08is established
55:10very directly
55:11with duncan's new company
55:13privacy is not a thing anymore
55:14privacy
55:15lives in a constant
55:17state
55:17of fear
55:18and where there's fear
55:19there is money to be made
55:20i mean
55:21i could talk about this for hours
55:22i really could
55:23i think what people
55:24need to wake up to
55:25is you
55:26and mostly your children
55:27are the new oil
55:29and we're being mined
55:31by these companies
55:31you can't hide anymore
55:33and not saying like
55:34you should hide
55:35but like
55:35there's so much
55:36invasive things happening
55:37about your personal privacy
55:38that is out there
55:40data collection
55:41is a mutual agreement
55:42to surrender privacy
55:42for service
55:43we all know that
55:44well we do
55:45but we work in this business
55:46we know to reject
55:48all the tricks
55:49they use to track us
55:50you do reject
55:51all non-essential cookies
55:52right
55:52i would blindly
55:53just accept
55:54the cookies
55:55i didn't even know
55:56what the cookies were
55:57whenever someone
55:58offers cookies
55:59you say yes
56:00strangers
56:01computers
56:02but now i'm just like
56:03no
56:04i do not want them
56:07it's very hard
56:08to exist now
56:09without participating
56:10in that
56:10to some degree
56:11and unfortunately
56:12there's a very predatory
56:13group of people
56:14who come from
56:16this little small town
56:17who are driving
56:18technology
56:19and ultimately driving
56:20where we go
56:21as a civilization
56:22and so privacy
56:23is not a thing anymore
56:24it's just an acknowledgement
56:25of that
56:26for duncan
56:27it's like hey
56:27let's just come out
56:28and say it
56:28this is what we're doing
56:29this is what the whole
56:30industry is doing
56:31let's take advantage of it
56:32you know once word
56:33got out that she was
56:34trying to whitewash
56:35how we do business here
56:36i scooped up three
56:38three
56:39hypergnosis clients
56:40for my new company
56:41he comes in
56:42with a pretty convincing
56:43argument
56:43and it doesn't work
56:44because as we see
56:46at the beginning
56:46of 106
56:47we learn that
56:48Ardolf has a real
56:50affinity for veterans
56:51in an extraordinary
56:52sequence
56:53that shows
56:54this billionaire's
56:55vanity
56:55having never served
56:57himself
56:57wanting to reenact
56:58battles from
56:59world war one
57:00in this case
57:01in the backyard
57:02of his mansion
57:02you're done
57:03and boom
57:04you are dead
57:05oh nice talking
57:08so when
57:09duncan insults
57:11veterans in general
57:12and tom specifically
57:13it sets
57:14Bardolph off
57:15get the fuck out
57:16look at tom
57:17if duncan had not
57:18insulted tom
57:19i believe that
57:20Bardolph and stan
57:21were prepared to bring
57:23duncan back to run
57:24the company
57:25and that blows it
57:26all up
57:29and so congratulations
57:31anushka
