1
00:00:07,798 --> 00:00:10,465
How the fuck does something
like this happen?

2
00:00:10,567 --> 00:00:13,134
How does an elephant just die?

3
00:00:13,236 --> 00:00:15,770
He was very old and depressed.

4
00:00:15,872 --> 00:00:18,273
He'd recently been
rescued from the circus,

5
00:00:18,375 --> 00:00:21,142
but as it turns out, he actually
really loved performing.

6
00:00:21,244 --> 00:00:23,378
Who gives a fuck about the elephant?

7
00:00:23,480 --> 00:00:24,846
What about me?

8
00:00:24,948 --> 00:00:26,247
This does not look good.

9
00:00:26,350 --> 00:00:29,050
I'm having a bit of trouble
figuring out how to remove him.

10
00:00:29,152 --> 00:00:30,852
He weighs 9,000 pounds.

11
00:00:30,954 --> 00:00:32,053
Cut it up.

12
00:00:32,155 --> 00:00:33,655
Take it out in pieces.

13
00:00:33,757 --> 00:00:34,856
I... I don't mean to interrupt,

14
00:00:34,958 --> 00:00:37,392
but... but I could call
in a personal favor

15
00:00:37,494 --> 00:00:39,327
and get a helo crew out of Travis AFB

16
00:00:39,429 --> 00:00:41,196
with a Sikorsky Skycrane
to airlift it out

17
00:00:41,298 --> 00:00:42,764
and drop it in the ocean
right after dark.

18
00:00:42,866 --> 00:00:44,966
No muss, no fuss.

19
00:00:45,068 --> 00:00:46,001
There.

20
00:00:46,103 --> 00:00:47,202
Was that so hard, Patrice?

21
00:00:47,304 --> 00:00:48,970
Because Hoover sure didn't think so.

22
00:00:49,072 --> 00:00:51,039
I mean, I just found my footing again,

23
00:00:51,141 --> 00:00:52,774
and you put me in
danger of losing it all

24
00:00:52,876 --> 00:00:54,676
over some fucking elephant?

25
00:00:55,812 --> 00:00:57,612
Gavin, you always said that

26
00:00:57,714 --> 00:01:00,515
here at Hooli, "In order
to achieve greatness,

27
00:01:00,617 --> 00:01:02,884
we must first achieve goodness."

28
00:01:02,986 --> 00:01:04,085
Right.

29
00:01:04,187 --> 00:01:05,286
So?

30
00:01:05,389 --> 00:01:07,455
So...

31
00:01:07,557 --> 00:01:10,258
I was a bridesmaid at
Sean Parker's wedding

32
00:01:10,360 --> 00:01:13,094
when he handed out live
bunnies as plush toys.

33
00:01:13,196 --> 00:01:15,130
That wasn't goodness.

34
00:01:15,232 --> 00:01:16,698
It was badness.

35
00:01:16,800 --> 00:01:18,500
And so is this.

36
00:01:18,602 --> 00:01:20,435
You're using endangered animals

37
00:01:20,537 --> 00:01:22,070
just to make points at board meetings.

38
00:01:22,172 --> 00:01:25,173
I'm drawing thoughtful,
zoological comparisons.

39
00:01:25,275 --> 00:01:28,877
But couldn't you just show them
a picture of these animals?

40
00:01:28,979 --> 00:01:31,880
A simple Hooli search would
yield thousands of choices.

41
00:01:31,982 --> 00:01:33,915
Patrice, I thank you for your honesty,

42
00:01:34,017 --> 00:01:35,850
and I will repay you with my own.

43
00:01:35,952 --> 00:01:38,553
I honestly never want to see
you in my offices again.

44
00:01:38,655 --> 00:01:40,055
You're fired.

45
00:01:40,157 --> 00:01:41,589
Hoover?

46
00:01:41,691 --> 00:01:44,059
- Scramble that Skycrane.
- Yes, sir.

47
00:01:50,999 --> 00:01:55,089
- sync and corrections by Caio -
- www.addic7ed.com -

48
00:01:56,440 --> 00:01:57,972
Please, uh, come in.

49
00:01:58,075 --> 00:01:58,940
Come in. Have a seat.

50
00:01:59,042 --> 00:02:01,109
I won't take a lot of your time.

51
00:02:01,211 --> 00:02:02,444
I promise.

52
00:02:02,546 --> 00:02:03,478
Okay.

53
00:02:03,580 --> 00:02:04,712
Would you like some tea?

54
00:02:04,815 --> 00:02:07,248
I can put a kettle on the hot plate.

55
00:02:07,350 --> 00:02:08,783
Oh, no, I'm fine. Thank you.

56
00:02:08,885 --> 00:02:09,818
There's no trouble.

57
00:02:09,920 --> 00:02:11,186
You know what? I have a box of...

58
00:02:11,288 --> 00:02:14,289
of Russell Stover's if the
spiders didn't get into 'em.

59
00:02:14,391 --> 00:02:16,257
Jared, is this about the fake users?

60
00:02:18,161 --> 00:02:19,094
You know?

61
00:02:19,196 --> 00:02:20,762
Two days ago, I wanted to look

62
00:02:20,864 --> 00:02:22,297
at user behavior to figure out

63
00:02:22,399 --> 00:02:23,698
what spurred the sudden uptick,

64
00:02:23,800 --> 00:02:25,233
and, uh, well, I noticed something.

65
00:02:25,335 --> 00:02:27,102
Almost all of our new users

66
00:02:27,204 --> 00:02:29,471
were just uploading a single photo

67
00:02:29,573 --> 00:02:31,940
into a shared folder,
and then the next day,

68
00:02:32,042 --> 00:02:34,409
they would take the photo
out and then put it back in

69
00:02:34,511 --> 00:02:36,377
the day after that and that's it.

70
00:02:36,480 --> 00:02:39,314
You know, just enough to qualify
as a daily active user.

71
00:02:39,416 --> 00:02:40,915
Classic click-farm behavior.

72
00:02:41,017 --> 00:02:42,817
And then I remembered our
conversation in the bathtub,

73
00:02:42,919 --> 00:02:45,120
and it just...
it had to be you.

74
00:02:45,222 --> 00:02:47,155
Richard, I am so sorry.

75
00:02:47,257 --> 00:02:48,389
It's okay.

76
00:02:48,492 --> 00:02:50,468
Would it make you feel
better to... to strike me?

77
00:02:50,493 --> 00:02:52,428
No. You... you had good
intentions, Jared.

78
00:02:52,529 --> 00:02:53,995
Honestly, don't give it another thought.

79
00:02:54,097 --> 00:02:55,396
Just, you know...

80
00:02:55,499 --> 00:02:58,633
you and I right now are the
only ones that know about it.

81
00:02:58,735 --> 00:02:59,767
Okay?

82
00:02:59,870 --> 00:03:02,137
And in a few weeks, when
we run out of money,

83
00:03:02,239 --> 00:03:03,671
this will all be over anyway.

84
00:03:04,608 --> 00:03:07,041
- Richard?
- Yes?

85
00:03:08,044 --> 00:03:09,544
We have a secret.

86
00:03:10,680 --> 00:03:12,046
Yeah.

87
00:03:13,717 --> 00:03:14,949
I mean, I swear to god,

88
00:03:15,051 --> 00:03:16,251
your dicks would have blown

89
00:03:16,353 --> 00:03:17,585
out of the back of your assholes

90
00:03:17,687 --> 00:03:19,154
if you had been there, hand to God.

91
00:03:19,256 --> 00:03:20,388
Hey, guys. What's going on?

92
00:03:20,490 --> 00:03:22,891
Richard, sit down. I did it.

93
00:03:22,993 --> 00:03:24,626
I saved the company.

94
00:03:24,728 --> 00:03:26,594
What do you...
What? How?

95
00:03:26,696 --> 00:03:27,862
Jared, have you been crying?

96
00:03:27,964 --> 00:03:29,831
Yes, but for ordinary reasons.

97
00:03:29,933 --> 00:03:31,599
- Please, go on.
- Okay.

98
00:03:31,701 --> 00:03:33,401
I was at The Rosewood for lunch.

99
00:03:33,503 --> 00:03:34,502
I mean, it was the lunch hour.

100
00:03:34,604 --> 00:03:35,937
I was there, I wasn't eating, the usual.

101
00:03:36,039 --> 00:03:38,406
So, I walk over to Andreessen
and I say something funny,

102
00:03:38,508 --> 00:03:41,176
but he stone-faces me.

103
00:03:41,278 --> 00:03:42,377
What did you say?

104
00:03:42,479 --> 00:03:44,345
It doesn't matter. The point
is, it was hilarious,

105
00:03:44,447 --> 00:03:47,515
but he gave me nothing and
neither did his friends.

106
00:03:47,617 --> 00:03:49,484
Then I realized why.

107
00:03:49,586 --> 00:03:50,885
You're not funny?

108
00:03:50,987 --> 00:03:52,687
No, Gilfoyle, but that is.

109
00:03:52,789 --> 00:03:55,156
No, it's that everybody thinks

110
00:03:55,258 --> 00:03:56,824
Pied Piper is in this death spiral,

111
00:03:56,927 --> 00:03:59,127
so it would be inappropriate to
laugh at my hysterical joke.

112
00:03:59,229 --> 00:04:01,529
And it hits me.

113
00:04:01,631 --> 00:04:03,565
I know something that they don't.

114
00:04:03,667 --> 00:04:06,000
I know about the uptick.

115
00:04:06,102 --> 00:04:07,302
The uptick?

116
00:04:07,404 --> 00:04:09,003
Yes, the uptick!

117
00:04:10,140 --> 00:04:11,973
The recent sudden surge in users.

118
00:04:12,075 --> 00:04:13,474
Yeah. That.

119
00:04:13,577 --> 00:04:15,510
Yes, that. So, while our fortune

120
00:04:15,612 --> 00:04:17,979
is rising, everybody else
thinks that it's plummeting,

121
00:04:18,081 --> 00:04:21,049
and I can use these opposing forces

122
00:04:21,151 --> 00:04:23,518
to a multiplying effect
like a slingshot,

123
00:04:23,620 --> 00:04:25,153
and then I make a decision.

124
00:04:25,255 --> 00:04:26,454
I'm gonna make a move.

125
00:04:26,556 --> 00:04:29,524
So, I say something
cryptic about the uptick,

126
00:04:29,626 --> 00:04:30,892
and I walk away.

127
00:04:30,994 --> 00:04:32,560
- What did you say?
- I don't know. I can't remember.

128
00:04:32,662 --> 00:04:35,697
But I walk over and I see
McNamee's having the short rib,

129
00:04:35,799 --> 00:04:37,532
which I hear is delicious
but not too heavy,

130
00:04:37,634 --> 00:04:38,800
and then I say to him,

131
00:04:38,902 --> 00:04:40,702
"You're gonna have to
tuck in your tie-dye

132
00:04:40,804 --> 00:04:42,437
if you want to eat here."

133
00:04:42,539 --> 00:04:45,406
- Uh, how's that relevant?
- It's not.

134
00:04:45,508 --> 00:04:48,209
But the people that I just walked
away from don't know that.

135
00:04:48,311 --> 00:04:49,844
All they know is that I'm over there

136
00:04:49,946 --> 00:04:52,280
exchanging witty banter with McNamee,

137
00:04:52,382 --> 00:04:53,815
and about what, they don't know.

138
00:04:53,917 --> 00:04:55,850
It's all that they do want to know.

139
00:04:55,952 --> 00:04:58,052
And then, it settles in.

140
00:04:58,154 --> 00:04:59,921
F.O.M.O.

141
00:05:00,023 --> 00:05:01,923
The fear of missing out.

142
00:05:02,025 --> 00:05:03,958
Suddenly, it feels like
time is slowing down.

143
00:05:04,060 --> 00:05:06,661
I could see every move I was
going to make 12 steps ahead.

144
00:05:06,763 --> 00:05:09,197
It was like I was Bobby Fischer
if he could really fuck.

145
00:05:09,299 --> 00:05:11,165
I go outside, I walk across the street

146
00:05:11,268 --> 00:05:12,967
to Graylock, I check in on Instagram,

147
00:05:13,069 --> 00:05:15,737
Vinod Khosla calls me, asks
me what I doing there.

148
00:05:15,839 --> 00:05:18,640
I say, "I can't talk right now.
Call me at Wood Opal."

149
00:05:18,742 --> 00:05:21,476
Well, he does, and then
suddenly Wood Opal is going,

150
00:05:21,578 --> 00:05:23,444
"What's Khosla got going
on with Bachman?"

151
00:05:23,546 --> 00:05:26,481
Meanwhile, I'm taking a leak
at a Restoration Hardware.

152
00:05:26,583 --> 00:05:28,783
I jack off a little bit. I don't cum.

153
00:05:28,885 --> 00:05:30,685
And then it snowballs.

154
00:05:30,787 --> 00:05:34,689
I deftly played Ross Loma
against Index Ventures.

155
00:05:34,791 --> 00:05:38,793
And because of that,
the big kahuna bites.

156
00:05:38,895 --> 00:05:40,094
Sequoia.

157
00:05:40,196 --> 00:05:43,865
I spend the next 20 minutes
denying calls from Jim Goetz,

158
00:05:43,967 --> 00:05:45,199
over and over.

159
00:05:45,302 --> 00:05:47,635
And yes, I'm jacking off, but
I don't need to ejaculate

160
00:05:47,737 --> 00:05:50,171
because by the time I
listen to the messages,

161
00:05:50,273 --> 00:05:53,308
I've got offers, I've got counters,

162
00:05:53,410 --> 00:05:55,310
I've got counter-counters.

163
00:05:55,412 --> 00:05:56,477
I cum.

164
00:05:57,947 --> 00:05:59,781
When the dust settled...

165
00:05:59,883 --> 00:06:03,818
and the losers went home,
all that was left was this.

166
00:06:05,088 --> 00:06:06,254
"Hello, Mr. Bachman.

167
00:06:06,356 --> 00:06:09,824
"Coleman Blair Partners would
like to offer Pied Piper

168
00:06:09,926 --> 00:06:13,761
"a Series B round of $6 million

169
00:06:13,863 --> 00:06:17,031
on a $60 million valuation."

170
00:06:17,133 --> 00:06:18,666
Oh.

171
00:06:19,836 --> 00:06:20,902
Yeah!

172
00:06:21,004 --> 00:06:23,271
Holy shit.

173
00:06:23,373 --> 00:06:25,907
And this asshole wanted
to pivot to video chat.

174
00:06:26,009 --> 00:06:26,974
Still valid.

175
00:06:27,077 --> 00:06:29,610
Although less sexy now.
I'll concede that.

176
00:06:29,713 --> 00:06:30,945
It's my Mona Lisa.

177
00:06:31,047 --> 00:06:33,047
And the entire cornerstone

178
00:06:33,149 --> 00:06:36,551
upon which I built this
motherfucking cathedral

179
00:06:36,653 --> 00:06:38,753
that I will forever be remembered for,

180
00:06:38,855 --> 00:06:43,191
was this beautiful little uptick.

181
00:06:44,794 --> 00:06:46,828
I think I have a bottle of
Cold Duck in the crisper.

182
00:06:46,930 --> 00:06:48,229
Who's drinking? Come on!

183
00:06:48,331 --> 00:06:50,098
I got a bottle of
Martinelli's for you, Jared.

184
00:06:50,200 --> 00:06:52,633
This is a big day!

185
00:06:52,736 --> 00:06:55,536
We did it! Yes!

186
00:06:55,638 --> 00:06:57,605
- Are there any wine coolers?
- I'll talk to him.

187
00:06:57,707 --> 00:06:58,840
I... I'll talk to him.

188
00:06:58,942 --> 00:07:00,875
Here's my Hooli badge.

189
00:07:01,945 --> 00:07:03,978
And I have a hanging tag

190
00:07:04,080 --> 00:07:06,681
on my rear-view mirror for
the parking structure.

191
00:07:06,783 --> 00:07:07,882
Can I just mail that in?

192
00:07:07,984 --> 00:07:09,951
No, you need to go get that now.

193
00:07:10,053 --> 00:07:11,552
Okay.

194
00:07:35,612 --> 00:07:36,811
Hey, Dinesh.

195
00:07:36,913 --> 00:07:38,813
I'm just, um, looking for Erlich.
Have you seen him?

196
00:07:38,915 --> 00:07:40,214
Oh, he went to the liquor store.

197
00:07:40,316 --> 00:07:41,482
Gotta keep the party going, you know?

198
00:07:41,584 --> 00:07:43,618
Oh yeah. Yeah, Series B. Crazy, right?

199
00:07:43,720 --> 00:07:45,386
- Oh, it's unreal.
- Yeah.

200
00:07:45,488 --> 00:07:47,722
Almost like some of our users.

201
00:07:49,592 --> 00:07:50,558
What?

202
00:07:50,660 --> 00:07:52,093
What... what does that mean?

203
00:07:52,195 --> 00:07:54,328
Oh, "unreal" has so many meanings.

204
00:07:54,431 --> 00:07:56,264
"Fake," "paid for,"

205
00:07:56,366 --> 00:07:59,934
"one person in Bangladesh
pretending to be 6,000."

206
00:08:00,036 --> 00:08:01,569
Okay. Um...

207
00:08:01,671 --> 00:08:03,271
All right, Dinesh, um...

208
00:08:03,373 --> 00:08:04,539
Oh, no.

209
00:08:04,641 --> 00:08:06,040
I don't want to know a fucking thing.

210
00:08:06,142 --> 00:08:08,342
Okay then. Great.

211
00:08:08,445 --> 00:08:12,313
I won't tell you anything
because nothing happened.

212
00:08:12,415 --> 00:08:13,381
Great.

213
00:08:13,483 --> 00:08:14,749
Okay.

214
00:08:15,919 --> 00:08:17,652
But if something did happen,

215
00:08:17,754 --> 00:08:19,187
and we're not saying it did,

216
00:08:19,289 --> 00:08:20,655
the fact remains

217
00:08:20,757 --> 00:08:23,024
that leaves us in a very
advantageous position.

218
00:08:23,126 --> 00:08:25,226
There's a lot of money on the table.

219
00:08:25,328 --> 00:08:27,161
And it would be a shame
if that went away.

220
00:08:27,263 --> 00:08:28,863
You know what else would be a shame...

221
00:08:28,965 --> 00:08:32,333
is if I
couldn't find my flash drive.

222
00:08:32,435 --> 00:08:34,335
Gilfoyle, have you seen my flash drive?

223
00:08:34,437 --> 00:08:36,304
Right, the one with the
zombie script on it?

224
00:08:36,406 --> 00:08:40,141
Why yes, the zombie script
that randomizes user action

225
00:08:40,243 --> 00:08:41,876
in platforms such as Pied Piper.

226
00:08:41,978 --> 00:08:43,177
You mean so that

227
00:08:43,279 --> 00:08:45,580
fake users and click farms would be

228
00:08:45,682 --> 00:08:48,316
absolutely indistinguishable
from real users?

229
00:08:48,418 --> 00:08:49,383
Oh, I suppose.

230
00:08:49,486 --> 00:08:51,719
I mean, especially during due diligence,

231
00:08:51,821 --> 00:08:54,755
like the kind done by VCs
or possible future reviews

232
00:08:54,858 --> 00:08:57,925
done by certain regulatory bodies.

233
00:08:58,027 --> 00:09:00,461
It also had photos of my auntie.

234
00:09:01,564 --> 00:09:03,431
Anyway, Gilfoyle, have you seen it?

235
00:09:03,533 --> 00:09:04,532
I have not.

236
00:09:04,634 --> 00:09:07,902
Mm, well, Richard, keep an
eye out for it, will ya?

237
00:09:16,513 --> 00:09:18,613
Hey, Gilfoyle, you wanna
come inside and help me

238
00:09:18,715 --> 00:09:23,351
- get a new flash drive on www.staples.com?
- Yeah, I think

239
00:09:23,453 --> 00:09:25,086
- we're sort of done with the ruse.
- Okay.

240
00:09:25,188 --> 00:09:27,355
Okay, fine. Well, whatever you did

241
00:09:27,457 --> 00:09:30,691
or didn't do, that was
serial-killer-level shit.

242
00:09:30,793 --> 00:09:31,626
Agreed.

243
00:09:31,728 --> 00:09:33,995
I think I finally respect you as a CEO.

244
00:09:38,635 --> 00:09:39,834
Fuck.

245
00:09:49,546 --> 00:09:50,545
This is fraud.

246
00:09:50,647 --> 00:09:52,179
Is it?

247
00:09:52,282 --> 00:09:55,983
I mean, our... our platform does
exactly what we say it does.

248
00:09:56,085 --> 00:09:57,985
Okay? It's not like we're lying about it

249
00:09:58,087 --> 00:09:59,320
like fucking Theranos.

250
00:09:59,422 --> 00:10:02,123
And if our platform works,
which we know it will,

251
00:10:02,225 --> 00:10:05,026
we will make them billions of dollars.

252
00:10:05,128 --> 00:10:06,427
Everybody wins, Jared.

253
00:10:06,529 --> 00:10:07,695
You still believe that, right?

254
00:10:07,797 --> 00:10:10,631
That, if given enough time,
the platform will catch on?

255
00:10:10,733 --> 00:10:14,001
Richard, don't weaponize my
faith in you against me.

256
00:10:14,103 --> 00:10:16,804
Your faith made all this possible.

257
00:10:16,906 --> 00:10:18,172
It's wrong.

258
00:10:18,274 --> 00:10:20,908
Well, every time I try to do
the right thing, I get fucked.

259
00:10:21,010 --> 00:10:22,443
And if I do the right thing here,

260
00:10:22,545 --> 00:10:23,778
we're done. That's it.

261
00:10:23,880 --> 00:10:25,947
Doesn't seem like much
of an option, does it?

262
00:10:29,352 --> 00:10:32,386
Deng, they're all just so good.

263
00:10:32,488 --> 00:10:35,089
Gavin,
CJ Cantwell, line one.

264
00:10:35,191 --> 00:10:37,391
Deng, let's pick this up tomorrow.

265
00:10:40,063 --> 00:10:40,995
CJ.

266
00:10:41,097 --> 00:10:43,331
I'm finishing a story
I'd love a comment on.

267
00:10:43,433 --> 00:10:46,968
It's about the death of an
unpermitted Indian elephant

268
00:10:47,070 --> 00:10:50,538
named Maurice in your sculpture
garden and its subsequent

269
00:10:50,640 --> 00:10:52,573
illegal dumping in the
San Francisco Bay.

270
00:10:52,675 --> 00:10:54,275
That's preposterous.

271
00:10:54,377 --> 00:10:56,077
Mm, I have a very good source.

272
00:10:57,714 --> 00:10:59,647
What do you propose we do here?

273
00:10:59,749 --> 00:11:01,515
Well, I have one idea.

274
00:11:01,618 --> 00:11:03,985
And what, pray tell, might that be?

275
00:11:04,087 --> 00:11:07,989
CJ sold the blog for $2 million.

276
00:11:08,091 --> 00:11:10,491
No shit.

277
00:11:10,593 --> 00:11:11,559
Bachmanity rides again.

278
00:11:11,661 --> 00:11:14,295
Well, not exactly. Uh, I called Big Head

279
00:11:14,397 --> 00:11:16,731
to tell him that our share
was worth half a mil each,

280
00:11:16,833 --> 00:11:18,566
and, uh, not five minutes later,

281
00:11:18,668 --> 00:11:21,535
his father, one Nelson Bighetti, Sr.,

282
00:11:21,638 --> 00:11:23,838
called me and explained
that I was never to have

283
00:11:23,940 --> 00:11:25,940
any financial dealings with his son

284
00:11:26,042 --> 00:11:28,376
in perpetuity, uh, ever

285
00:11:28,478 --> 00:11:30,177
or he would get very Italian on me.

286
00:11:30,279 --> 00:11:31,946
And I'm not interested

287
00:11:32,048 --> 00:11:33,481
to find out what that means.

288
00:11:33,583 --> 00:11:34,815
Okay. Shall we?

289
00:11:34,917 --> 00:11:37,051
To Coleman Blair! Let's
close this fucker.

290
00:11:37,153 --> 00:11:38,452
Good luck, fellas.

291
00:12:04,847 --> 00:12:07,515
Remember, you just sit
there and look pretty.

292
00:12:07,617 --> 00:12:09,050
Leave all the talking to me.

293
00:12:09,152 --> 00:12:10,851
And if you mention my Montblanc,

294
00:12:10,953 --> 00:12:13,354
then, uh, don't make it
overt, like I told you to.

295
00:12:13,456 --> 00:12:14,922
But do.

296
00:12:17,126 --> 00:12:18,559
Uh...

297
00:12:18,661 --> 00:12:19,694
Hey, what's up?

298
00:12:19,796 --> 00:12:21,629
Are you guys out raising
money from someone else?

299
00:12:21,731 --> 00:12:24,832
Uh, Monica, it's, uh...
it's kind of a long story.

300
00:12:24,934 --> 00:12:27,301
- Why are you whispering?
- Uh... Um...

301
00:12:27,403 --> 00:12:29,937
Oh, my god, you're there
right now, aren't you?

302
00:12:30,039 --> 00:12:31,305
Jesus! Do you have any idea

303
00:12:31,407 --> 00:12:33,107
how big of an asshole
you're making me look here?

304
00:12:33,209 --> 00:12:35,376
Laurie just lost her shit at me, okay?

305
00:12:35,478 --> 00:12:37,845
So, you need to turn around and
walk the hell out of there.

306
00:12:37,947 --> 00:12:40,448
Erlich put all this together. I
really had nothing to do with it.

307
00:12:40,550 --> 00:12:42,083
You have everything to do with it.

308
00:12:42,185 --> 00:12:43,684
You're the fucking CEO, Richard!

309
00:12:43,786 --> 00:12:47,288
Whatever your company
does is 100% on you!

310
00:12:47,390 --> 00:12:48,556
Gentlemen.

311
00:12:49,659 --> 00:12:50,925
- They're ready for you.
- Oh.

312
00:12:51,027 --> 00:12:52,226
Yes. I... I gotta go.

313
00:12:52,328 --> 00:12:53,294
Do not hang up on me.

314
00:12:53,396 --> 00:12:55,229
Richard, do not...

315
00:12:56,165 --> 00:12:57,364
So listen, we're pumped, guys.

316
00:12:57,467 --> 00:12:59,133
We're thrilled to be
getting into Pied Piper

317
00:12:59,235 --> 00:13:00,568
right at this inflection point.

318
00:13:00,670 --> 00:13:01,669
It's very exciting.

319
00:13:01,771 --> 00:13:03,637
We are pumped as well.
Aren't we, Richard?

320
00:13:03,740 --> 00:13:04,805
- Richard.
- Hm?

321
00:13:04,907 --> 00:13:05,840
- Pumped.
- Pumped!

322
00:13:05,942 --> 00:13:07,775
- We are pumped up.
- Pumped up. Mm-hmm.

323
00:13:07,877 --> 00:13:11,345
So we'll just need your
John Hancock right here.

324
00:13:11,447 --> 00:13:12,346
Oh, sure, Richard.

325
00:13:12,448 --> 00:13:14,882
Uh, you can use my Montblanc.

326
00:13:15,818 --> 00:13:17,451
Oh. Uh...

327
00:13:17,553 --> 00:13:19,220
this is an actual term sheet.

328
00:13:19,322 --> 00:13:21,922
And once I sign this...
this, that's it, right?

329
00:13:22,024 --> 00:13:24,325
Yup. No turning back.

330
00:13:26,796 --> 00:13:27,828
You can have your lawyers vet

331
00:13:27,930 --> 00:13:29,230
the actual stock purchase agreement

332
00:13:29,332 --> 00:13:30,731
once we close here just to make sure

333
00:13:30,833 --> 00:13:32,066
no one is pulling any funny business.

334
00:13:32,168 --> 00:13:35,069
- No, no.
- No, my lawyer is in jail, so.

335
00:13:36,606 --> 00:13:37,671
So.

336
00:13:39,308 --> 00:13:41,142
Hm.

337
00:13:46,282 --> 00:13:47,615
Oh, my god. I, uh...

338
00:13:47,717 --> 00:13:50,251
Wow, I can't believe
I didn't think of this

339
00:13:50,353 --> 00:13:52,219
before, um, because,

340
00:13:52,321 --> 00:13:53,654
well, let me put it to you this way.

341
00:13:53,756 --> 00:13:55,222
What would you say if I told you that

342
00:13:55,324 --> 00:13:57,491
the same compression
that you know and love

343
00:13:57,593 --> 00:13:59,293
is being used in a world-beating,

344
00:13:59,395 --> 00:14:02,596
game-changing...
wait for it...

345
00:14:02,698 --> 00:14:04,598
video conferencing application?

346
00:14:04,700 --> 00:14:08,035
Wouldn't that be interesting?

347
00:14:09,338 --> 00:14:11,705
- What?
- You mean like Hooli-Chat?

348
00:14:11,808 --> 00:14:14,108
This will be far superior to Hooli-Chat.

349
00:14:14,210 --> 00:14:16,110
You may want to fund that instead.

350
00:14:16,212 --> 00:14:17,611
In fact, why don't I, um...

351
00:14:17,713 --> 00:14:19,280
why don't I just go home,
I'll grab my laptop,

352
00:14:19,382 --> 00:14:20,948
I'll come back here, I'll
show it to you guys.

353
00:14:21,050 --> 00:14:22,416
It's not that far. I don't mind.

354
00:14:22,518 --> 00:14:24,285
- I'll tell you what, I'll grab an Uber.
- Richard, what...

355
00:14:24,387 --> 00:14:25,853
- No, no, no, no.
- It's no problem.

356
00:14:25,955 --> 00:14:27,888
- Richard, what the fuck are you doing?
- There. I've ordered it.

357
00:14:27,990 --> 00:14:30,090
Neal is in a blue Kia Sportage and
he's right around the corner.

358
00:14:30,193 --> 00:14:31,692
All right, all right. Look, look, look.

359
00:14:31,794 --> 00:14:34,595
I don't know who else you're
talking to about the platform,

360
00:14:34,697 --> 00:14:36,897
but I'm willing to go up
to seven million on 70.

361
00:14:36,999 --> 00:14:39,967
Okay? But that's it. You sign this
thing right here and right now.

362
00:14:40,069 --> 00:14:42,269
Bravo, Richard. Nice neg.

363
00:14:42,371 --> 00:14:43,604
Now sign it.

364
00:14:43,706 --> 00:14:45,706
Thank you. Very generous of you.

365
00:14:45,808 --> 00:14:48,576
I just... I just want to make sure
that you're aware of all the feedback

366
00:14:48,678 --> 00:14:51,212
'cause we had some focus groups
and there were some issues.

367
00:14:51,314 --> 00:14:52,446
Just so you're clear,

368
00:14:52,548 --> 00:14:55,716
people have been wondering, "Eh!
Where are my files?

369
00:14:55,818 --> 00:14:57,186
"Zero K used? Where's
the download button?

370
00:14:57,211 --> 00:14:57,942
Richard, Richard...

371
00:14:58,020 --> 00:14:59,887
- The terminator... "
- All right, all right, you know what?

372
00:14:59,989 --> 00:15:00,514
'Cause it...

373
00:15:00,539 --> 00:15:02,113
I'm gonna sign it. Can I sign it?
I'll sign it.

374
00:15:02,191 --> 00:15:05,192
You can if you want, but we
still need his signature.

375
00:15:10,266 --> 00:15:12,466
Richard, sign it.

376
00:15:12,568 --> 00:15:14,134
That's two years of runway.

377
00:15:14,237 --> 00:15:15,870
- Sign it now!
- I can't.

378
00:15:15,972 --> 00:15:17,471
Why the fuck not?

379
00:15:17,573 --> 00:15:18,839
Because the numbers are fake.

380
00:15:20,109 --> 00:15:21,475
What?

381
00:15:21,577 --> 00:15:22,643
What? What do you mean?

382
00:15:22,745 --> 00:15:24,745
- What do you...
- We bought...

383
00:15:24,847 --> 00:15:28,515
fake users from a
Bangladeshi click farm.

384
00:15:29,552 --> 00:15:30,951
The uptick was fake.

385
00:15:32,288 --> 00:15:35,789
But the...
the vid chat...

386
00:15:35,892 --> 00:15:37,258
is real.

387
00:15:37,360 --> 00:15:40,094
Erlich, the fake users were just
meant to cheer the guys up.

388
00:15:40,196 --> 00:15:41,862
I had no idea you were
gonna take those numbers...

389
00:15:41,964 --> 00:15:43,264
And what, and go do my fucking job?

390
00:15:43,366 --> 00:15:45,532
Pour everything I had into
getting the best possible

391
00:15:45,635 --> 00:15:48,235
deal for Pied Piper because
I believe in them?

392
00:15:48,337 --> 00:15:49,570
Well, that's all over now.

393
00:15:49,672 --> 00:15:52,039
Richard, we are fucked!

394
00:15:52,141 --> 00:15:54,008
In the amount of time that
it took for us to get

395
00:15:54,110 --> 00:15:55,576
from that office to right here,

396
00:15:55,678 --> 00:15:57,411
every VC in the Valley knows about this.

397
00:15:57,513 --> 00:16:00,247
If I signed those term sheets,
I would be committing fraud.

398
00:16:00,349 --> 00:16:01,582
That's a fucking crime!

399
00:16:01,684 --> 00:16:02,816
You're saying you wanted me to...

400
00:16:02,919 --> 00:16:04,652
No, I wanted you to
fucking think about that

401
00:16:04,754 --> 00:16:07,021
before you paraded me around
the whole fucking valley

402
00:16:07,123 --> 00:16:08,088
to sell your lie!

403
00:16:08,190 --> 00:16:11,558
And then suddenly grew a
thick, girthy conscience

404
00:16:11,661 --> 00:16:12,660
and fucked me with it.

405
00:16:12,762 --> 00:16:14,128
Are you Richard?

406
00:16:14,230 --> 00:16:16,597
- Did you order an Uber?
- Oh. No.

407
00:16:17,934 --> 00:16:21,035
All you had to do was keep
your fucking mouth shut

408
00:16:21,137 --> 00:16:23,003
and sign that piece of paper.

409
00:16:23,105 --> 00:16:25,406
We would have fixed it afterwards.

410
00:16:25,508 --> 00:16:27,708
But you didn't. You caked your pants.

411
00:16:27,810 --> 00:16:29,910
No, better yet, you caked my pants.

412
00:16:30,012 --> 00:16:31,578
Fuck you, Richard Hendricks.

413
00:16:31,681 --> 00:16:33,180
Fuck you.

414
00:16:34,283 --> 00:16:35,749
Richard Hendricks, huh?

415
00:16:35,851 --> 00:16:37,384
Prick.

416
00:16:44,560 --> 00:16:47,061
- Hey.
- Oh, hey, Monica.

417
00:16:47,163 --> 00:16:48,929
Is Richard here? I heard what happened,

418
00:16:49,031 --> 00:16:50,531
but he's not answering any of my calls.

419
00:16:50,633 --> 00:16:52,399
We just wanted you to
know for the record

420
00:16:52,501 --> 00:16:55,836
that we had no idea any of
that stuff was going on.

421
00:16:55,938 --> 00:16:57,871
Still trying to wrap
our heads around it.

422
00:16:57,974 --> 00:17:00,808
Point is, don't beat yourself
up about not seeing it.

423
00:17:00,910 --> 00:17:02,476
I'm not beating myself up...

424
00:17:02,578 --> 00:17:05,112
I hope you don't think we're
guilty by association,

425
00:17:05,214 --> 00:17:08,816
because then we would have to think you're
guilty by association, which we don't.

426
00:17:08,918 --> 00:17:11,318
Just want to let you know
that we would definitely work

427
00:17:11,420 --> 00:17:12,720
with you again in the future.

428
00:17:12,822 --> 00:17:15,022
It's good to know. Guys, thanks.

429
00:17:15,124 --> 00:17:17,458
Um... is he in his room?

430
00:17:17,560 --> 00:17:19,827
I mean, he said he was.

431
00:17:20,896 --> 00:17:23,163
But...

432
00:17:23,265 --> 00:17:24,898
I'm gonna go to his room.

433
00:17:25,001 --> 00:17:26,133
Mm-hmm.

434
00:17:27,336 --> 00:17:30,170
Uh, what's up, Gleb?

435
00:17:30,272 --> 00:17:33,307
I hear, uh, Richard shit bed, huh?

436
00:17:33,409 --> 00:17:36,410
So, the platform is no goo-oo-oo-oo...

437
00:17:36,512 --> 00:17:39,146
Fuck, now the vid chat's fucking up.

438
00:17:40,016 --> 00:17:42,282
Odd, considering who
wrote the code for it.

439
00:17:42,385 --> 00:17:44,618
Not the code. The server is overloaded.

440
00:17:44,720 --> 00:17:46,854
How is that possible? We only
gave it to like 12 people.

441
00:17:46,956 --> 00:17:50,491
Well, there's a few more
than that using it now.

442
00:17:51,627 --> 00:17:52,559
Holy shit.

443
00:17:52,661 --> 00:17:54,161
For what it's worth, Richard,

444
00:17:54,263 --> 00:17:55,796
I think you did the right thing.

445
00:17:55,898 --> 00:17:58,465
And I can see now why you didn't
want to come to us for funding.

446
00:17:58,567 --> 00:18:00,467
You were trying to protect us.

447
00:18:00,569 --> 00:18:02,069
Yeah.

448
00:18:02,171 --> 00:18:03,704
Well, I really appreciate it.

449
00:18:03,806 --> 00:18:06,607
Uh, Laurie wants out.

450
00:18:06,709 --> 00:18:10,310
Even a whiff of fraud is
a mortal sin for VCs.

451
00:18:10,413 --> 00:18:13,280
She needs to wash her hands
of any Pied Piper business.

452
00:18:13,382 --> 00:18:14,681
She's forcing a sale.

453
00:18:14,784 --> 00:18:16,116
Fuck.

454
00:18:16,218 --> 00:18:18,886
Yeah, frick.

455
00:18:18,988 --> 00:18:20,087
Yeah.

456
00:18:20,189 --> 00:18:21,388
But it is an open auction,

457
00:18:21,490 --> 00:18:23,724
and, you know, between
the fraudulent numbers

458
00:18:23,826 --> 00:18:26,060
and the real numbers,

459
00:18:26,162 --> 00:18:28,228
you guys aren't exactly
killing it out there.

460
00:18:28,330 --> 00:18:30,597
So, there is a chance
that no one will bid

461
00:18:30,699 --> 00:18:32,666
and you might be able to
buy back your own company

462
00:18:32,768 --> 00:18:33,700
for next to nothing.

463
00:18:33,803 --> 00:18:35,636
That will have to be
for literally nothing

464
00:18:35,738 --> 00:18:37,604
because we're out of money.

465
00:18:41,844 --> 00:18:42,876
Ow!

466
00:18:42,978 --> 00:18:44,545
Jesus! Are you okay?

467
00:18:44,647 --> 00:18:47,081
Yeah, we're fine.

468
00:18:47,183 --> 00:18:49,416
All right, I spun together
a few more servers.

469
00:18:49,518 --> 00:18:50,918
That should handle the traffic.

470
00:18:51,020 --> 00:18:53,420
Look at this. There are 157 people

471
00:18:53,522 --> 00:18:54,721
using it near Gleb.

472
00:18:54,824 --> 00:18:56,857
And 400 people using it
near Tara in Boston.

473
00:18:56,959 --> 00:19:00,160
Yeah, I told her to give it to
her Satanist friends out there.

474
00:19:00,262 --> 00:19:01,428
Looks like she did.

475
00:19:01,530 --> 00:19:05,299
She knows 400 Satanists in Boston?

476
00:19:05,401 --> 00:19:07,768
The Catholic church really
did a number on that town.

477
00:19:09,138 --> 00:19:12,139
Hey, Erlich, remember
when Gilfoyle said that

478
00:19:12,241 --> 00:19:14,041
my video chat app was a piece of shit

479
00:19:14,143 --> 00:19:15,943
and that nobody would ever use it?

480
00:19:16,045 --> 00:19:19,480
Well, he was wrong. Over 4,000 times.

481
00:19:19,582 --> 00:19:22,349
Wow, and you developed that
with the Pied Piper IP, right?

482
00:19:23,285 --> 00:19:25,119
Well, then you can kiss that goodbye.

483
00:19:26,188 --> 00:19:27,187
Oh, fuck.

484
00:19:27,289 --> 00:19:29,123
Speaking of, I'm actually using

485
00:19:29,225 --> 00:19:31,892
the first dollars of my blog windfall

486
00:19:31,994 --> 00:19:33,827
on a trip to Kainchi Dham Ashram

487
00:19:33,929 --> 00:19:35,929
in Nainital, India,

488
00:19:36,031 --> 00:19:39,833
where Steve Jobs famously
sought peace and came up

489
00:19:39,935 --> 00:19:44,071
with the idea for a little
product called the Lisa.

490
00:19:44,173 --> 00:19:45,305
Good luck.

491
00:19:47,843 --> 00:19:51,011
Richard, I'll expect
you off the premises

492
00:19:51,113 --> 00:19:52,546
by end of day.

493
00:19:52,648 --> 00:19:54,047
Monica.

494
00:19:56,152 --> 00:19:57,918
- I'll see you later.
- Okay.

495
00:19:58,020 --> 00:20:00,988
You know, you can stay here for one year.
Free rent.

496
00:20:01,090 --> 00:20:02,456
Jian-Yang!

497
00:20:05,961 --> 00:20:07,294
Laurie!

498
00:20:08,364 --> 00:20:11,331
Ah. Gavin.

499
00:20:11,433 --> 00:20:12,900
You know Jack, of course.

500
00:20:13,002 --> 00:20:14,201
That is correct.

501
00:20:14,303 --> 00:20:17,804
Um, Gavin, can we address
the elephant in the room?

502
00:20:18,841 --> 00:20:20,841
- Sorry?
- Pied Piper.

503
00:20:20,943 --> 00:20:23,143
Right. Yes, of course.

504
00:20:23,245 --> 00:20:25,546
I am forcing a sale.

505
00:20:25,648 --> 00:20:28,815
Your Maleant dealings demonstrate that
you're still pursuing a middle-out.

506
00:20:28,918 --> 00:20:30,884
Might you be interested
in placing a bid?

507
00:20:30,986 --> 00:20:32,853
Why would he want to bail out Raviga?

508
00:20:32,955 --> 00:20:34,454
You said it yourself,

509
00:20:34,557 --> 00:20:36,423
our compression play is thriving.

510
00:20:36,525 --> 00:20:37,891
Fair enough.

511
00:20:37,993 --> 00:20:39,359
You know what? I'm a completionist.

512
00:20:39,461 --> 00:20:42,296
Even if I buy it just to
throw it in the garbage,

513
00:20:42,398 --> 00:20:44,097
I'd like to be the one
to drive the final nail

514
00:20:44,200 --> 00:20:45,532
in the Hendricks coffin.

515
00:20:45,634 --> 00:20:47,834
I'll give you...

516
00:20:47,937 --> 00:20:49,102
$900 for it?

517
00:20:49,205 --> 00:20:51,638
I believe that is a joke.

518
00:20:51,740 --> 00:20:54,875
You know what? I like
nice, round numbers.

519
00:20:54,977 --> 00:20:57,044
Make it...

520
00:20:57,146 --> 00:20:58,979
a million?

521
00:20:59,081 --> 00:21:00,214
A million dollars?

522
00:21:00,316 --> 00:21:03,951
Gavin Belson gets to buy
Pied Piper for $1 million

523
00:21:04,053 --> 00:21:07,321
and Raviga gets all of it because
of their liquidation preference

524
00:21:07,423 --> 00:21:08,455
and I get jack shit?

525
00:21:08,557 --> 00:21:10,524
Is that what you're telling me?
Goddamn it.

526
00:21:10,626 --> 00:21:12,926
I know this is the last way
that you wanted it to end.

527
00:21:13,028 --> 00:21:14,328
I'm really sorry.

528
00:21:14,430 --> 00:21:16,763
Yeah, well, I...
I'll see you at the meeting.

529
00:21:16,865 --> 00:21:18,832
Is that Hooli-Chat?

530
00:21:18,934 --> 00:21:20,100
They fix it or something?

531
00:21:20,202 --> 00:21:22,936
- That didn't look shitty at all.
- Actually, it's... it's ours.

532
00:21:23,038 --> 00:21:24,471
Um, the guys hacked it together.

533
00:21:24,573 --> 00:21:25,906
I can send you an invite if you want.

534
00:21:26,008 --> 00:21:27,207
Yeah. Cool. Thanks.

535
00:21:27,309 --> 00:21:30,310
We got up to 4K users
totally organically. Oh.

536
00:21:30,412 --> 00:21:32,746
Oh, shit! 7K now.

537
00:21:33,949 --> 00:21:36,483
Wow, we should have been
focusing on this instead.

538
00:21:36,585 --> 00:21:37,951
Not that it matters.

539
00:21:38,053 --> 00:21:40,654
I mean, it's all gonna be property
of Gavin Belson in an hour, so.

540
00:21:40,756 --> 00:21:42,556
That's ironic, huh?

541
00:21:43,559 --> 00:21:45,392
N... no, for real, I'm asking. Is it?

542
00:21:45,494 --> 00:21:47,394
I don't know. I was just smiling.

543
00:21:47,496 --> 00:21:49,396
Feels ironic.

544
00:21:50,866 --> 00:21:52,866
Hey, uh, so thank you for, uh...

545
00:21:52,968 --> 00:21:54,635
letting me stay here. No worries.

546
00:21:54,737 --> 00:21:56,937
Steve says you're welcome to
take my spot on the couch

547
00:21:57,039 --> 00:21:59,573
until you can find a job
and get your own place.

548
00:21:59,675 --> 00:22:00,674
Thanks.

549
00:22:00,776 --> 00:22:03,310
So, uh, when's your dad
coming to pick you up?

550
00:22:03,412 --> 00:22:05,312
Uh, a couple of hours I guess.

551
00:22:05,414 --> 00:22:08,081
Then we're turning right around
and going back to Phoenix.

552
00:22:08,183 --> 00:22:09,883
You know, he said he wants to be able

553
00:22:09,985 --> 00:22:12,119
to keep an eye on me and my money

554
00:22:12,221 --> 00:22:13,687
and that I need to get a real job

555
00:22:13,789 --> 00:22:16,056
to learn the value of a...
of a hard day's night

556
00:22:16,158 --> 00:22:18,191
or something like that.

557
00:22:18,294 --> 00:22:20,727
Well, um, I should probably get
going to this board meeting.

558
00:22:20,829 --> 00:22:25,565
Um, and you're probably gonna
be gone when I'm back, so...

559
00:22:25,668 --> 00:22:27,834
- guess this is it.
- Yeah, I guess so.

560
00:22:27,936 --> 00:22:28,969
See ya.

561
00:22:29,071 --> 00:22:30,437
- Oh...
- Oh...

562
00:22:31,507 --> 00:22:32,606
- Okay.
- Okay.

563
00:22:32,708 --> 00:22:35,342
- All right. Cool, man.
- There we go.

564
00:22:42,718 --> 00:22:45,585
Richard, e... even though
it's the last board meeting

565
00:22:45,688 --> 00:22:47,821
and... and essentially meaningless,

566
00:22:47,923 --> 00:22:49,956
thank you for letting
me be a part of it.

567
00:22:50,059 --> 00:22:51,258
It's an honor.

568
00:22:51,360 --> 00:22:52,926
Okay, you don't have
to keep saying that.

569
00:22:55,798 --> 00:22:57,698
Good day, all. This should be brief.

570
00:22:57,800 --> 00:23:00,334
The only item on the agenda is,

571
00:23:00,436 --> 00:23:01,635
of course, the authorization

572
00:23:01,737 --> 00:23:03,503
of the sale of Pied Piper
to the current high bidder.

573
00:23:03,605 --> 00:23:05,372
Three "yes" votes will approve the sale.

574
00:23:05,474 --> 00:23:08,108
And as Raviga controls
three of the board seats,

575
00:23:08,210 --> 00:23:09,810
- it seems...
- I'm sorry. I...

576
00:23:11,280 --> 00:23:13,914
- I'm not doing it.
- Oh, Monica, not again.

577
00:23:14,016 --> 00:23:16,183
I'm sorry, but look, Richard
has worked too hard

578
00:23:16,285 --> 00:23:18,552
and I know that I can't stop
it, but I'm not gonna vote

579
00:23:18,654 --> 00:23:20,854
to let Pied Piper become the
property of that asshole.

580
00:23:20,956 --> 00:23:24,591
Monica, I also happen to
find him contemptible.

581
00:23:24,693 --> 00:23:27,794
But Pied Piper will be sold
to the high bidder, period.

582
00:23:27,896 --> 00:23:29,696
You know what? I don't care.

583
00:23:29,798 --> 00:23:31,031
You want to fire me, fire me.

584
00:23:31,133 --> 00:23:33,166
If we're not gonna adhere
to the values that

585
00:23:33,268 --> 00:23:35,936
Peter Gregory instilled, then
I don't think I belong here.

586
00:23:36,038 --> 00:23:37,404
Monica, you don't have to do this.

587
00:23:37,506 --> 00:23:40,474
I'm not voting yes. Very well.
You're off the board.

588
00:23:40,576 --> 00:23:42,376
Excuse me! Man!

589
00:23:44,313 --> 00:23:46,747
- Do you work here?
- Well, it was my first day actually.

590
00:23:46,849 --> 00:23:48,348
- Everybody's been super ni...
- Sit.

591
00:23:48,450 --> 00:23:51,318
You are now officially on the
board of directors of Pied Piper.

592
00:23:51,420 --> 00:23:54,354
Oh, okay. That's fine I guess.

593
00:23:54,456 --> 00:23:55,956
When I point to you, you will vote yes.

594
00:23:56,058 --> 00:23:58,258
Now, I move to vote on
the sale of Pied Piper.

595
00:23:58,360 --> 00:23:59,893
I vote yes.

596
00:23:59,995 --> 00:24:01,695
I vote yes.

597
00:24:01,797 --> 00:24:03,130
And Evan.

598
00:24:04,933 --> 00:24:06,199
Evan?

599
00:24:07,736 --> 00:24:09,035
I can't do it.

600
00:24:09,138 --> 00:24:10,103
What? Why?

601
00:24:10,205 --> 00:24:12,873
Because...

602
00:24:12,975 --> 00:24:14,040
Monica?

603
00:24:15,144 --> 00:24:16,243
I love you.

604
00:24:16,345 --> 00:24:18,478
There. I said it.

605
00:24:18,580 --> 00:24:20,256
And I could never do
anything to make you sad.

606
00:24:20,282 --> 00:24:22,717
Oh, for fuck's sake! Do I have to
pull the receptionist in here?

607
00:24:22,818 --> 00:24:24,885
How does this compare with
a typical board meeting?

608
00:24:24,987 --> 00:24:26,820
All right, stop. Everybody, just stop.

609
00:24:26,922 --> 00:24:28,722
We all know how this is gonna go,

610
00:24:28,824 --> 00:24:29,990
so let's just get it over with.

611
00:24:30,092 --> 00:24:31,091
All right?

612
00:24:31,193 --> 00:24:33,093
Um, I vote yes. There.

613
00:24:33,195 --> 00:24:34,694
Okay? I approve the sale.

614
00:24:34,797 --> 00:24:37,497
Three "yes" votes. Can
this please just be done?

615
00:24:37,599 --> 00:24:38,465
Very well.

616
00:24:38,567 --> 00:24:41,268
- I vote yes also.
- Irrelevant.

617
00:24:41,370 --> 00:24:42,269
But thank you.

618
00:24:42,371 --> 00:24:43,603
The sale is approved.

619
00:24:43,705 --> 00:24:46,072
Pied Piper, its IP,
and all of its assets

620
00:24:46,175 --> 00:24:49,276
are now officially the
property of Bachmanity, LLC.

621
00:24:50,579 --> 00:24:53,213
Wait, sorry, did...

622
00:24:53,315 --> 00:24:56,249
did you just say "Bachmanity"?

623
00:24:56,351 --> 00:24:59,219
As in Erlich Bachman
and Nelson Bighetti?

624
00:24:59,321 --> 00:25:00,720
Yes, you know them.

625
00:25:00,823 --> 00:25:03,290
They... wait, they...
they had the highest bid?

626
00:25:03,392 --> 00:25:07,127
I received a telephone call
approximately 30 minutes ago

627
00:25:07,229 --> 00:25:10,330
entering a bid of one million and one
dollars with a firm no-shop clause.

628
00:25:10,432 --> 00:25:13,900
So when you were referring to the
person who bought Pied Piper

629
00:25:14,002 --> 00:25:17,838
as a contemptible asshole, you
were talking about Erlich?

630
00:25:17,940 --> 00:25:22,142
To which contemptible asshole
did you think I was referring?

631
00:25:22,244 --> 00:25:23,510
Gavin Belson.

632
00:25:23,612 --> 00:25:24,945
Oh.

633
00:25:26,248 --> 00:25:28,048
I see. No.

634
00:25:28,150 --> 00:25:30,250
This meeting is adjourned.

635
00:25:30,352 --> 00:25:32,853
I thank you all for your time.

636
00:25:35,524 --> 00:25:38,158
So... Bachmanity it is.

637
00:25:41,263 --> 00:25:42,295
That's good.

638
00:25:42,397 --> 00:25:46,233
So... should we give this thing a shot?

639
00:25:57,946 --> 00:25:59,579
You and Big Head, huh?

640
00:26:02,217 --> 00:26:03,950
Um...

641
00:26:04,052 --> 00:26:06,920
sorry you had to cancel your trip.

642
00:26:07,022 --> 00:26:09,890
And look, I...
I really appreciate all this.

643
00:26:09,992 --> 00:26:13,827
I really think this video chat thing
is gonna be something, you know?

644
00:26:13,929 --> 00:26:15,106
I don't know if you've seen the numbers.

645
00:26:15,232 --> 00:26:19,199
You want a number? The percentage
I give a fuck about you, zero.

646
00:26:19,301 --> 00:26:20,634
It's trending steady.

647
00:26:20,736 --> 00:26:23,303
And of course I've seen the numbers.

648
00:26:23,405 --> 00:26:24,838
This is a business opportunity.

649
00:26:24,940 --> 00:26:26,907
Nothing more. Big Head was your friend.

650
00:26:27,009 --> 00:26:29,743
He was the one that,
uh, talked me into it.

651
00:26:31,547 --> 00:26:33,413
I don't trust you, Richard Hendricks.

652
00:26:35,050 --> 00:26:38,585
And it's gonna take a
long, long, long time

653
00:26:38,687 --> 00:26:40,253
to regain my trust.

654
00:26:40,355 --> 00:26:41,855
Are we clear?

655
00:26:43,559 --> 00:26:46,226
Are we absolutely clear?

656
00:26:46,803 --> 00:26:48,152
Always blue!
Always blue!

657
00:26:48,230 --> 00:26:49,796
Always blue! Always blue!

658
00:26:49,898 --> 00:26:51,464
Always blue! Always blue!

659
00:26:51,567 --> 00:26:52,832
- Always blue! Alway...
- Aah!

660
00:26:53,902 --> 00:26:55,268
You suck.

661
00:26:55,370 --> 00:26:59,172
Oh, fuck, it's my dad again.
He's gotta be so pissed.

662
00:26:59,274 --> 00:27:00,707
I can't believe this is
happening, you guys.

663
00:27:00,809 --> 00:27:02,876
I mean, I guess now we're
a video chat company,

664
00:27:02,978 --> 00:27:05,045
but the best part of it
is it's us, you know?

665
00:27:05,147 --> 00:27:07,314
Just us controlling our own destiny.

666
00:27:07,416 --> 00:27:09,249
No, the best part of it is I own 50%.

667
00:27:09,351 --> 00:27:10,984
Well, yes,

668
00:27:11,086 --> 00:27:13,486
um, you and Big Head do
own the entire company,

669
00:27:13,589 --> 00:27:15,288
but I am the founder, it's my algorithm,

670
00:27:15,390 --> 00:27:17,657
so I'm assuming I'm getting my
original shares back, right?

671
00:27:17,759 --> 00:27:19,059
Why would you assume that?

672
00:27:19,161 --> 00:27:20,994
Well, when a tech company reboots,

673
00:27:21,096 --> 00:27:23,129
it's normal to have a... a conversation

674
00:27:23,231 --> 00:27:24,698
about restructuring the cap table.

675
00:27:24,800 --> 00:27:28,134
Good, 'cause I'm the guy that
hacked together the video chat app

676
00:27:28,236 --> 00:27:30,003
to see if that woman was hot, so...

677
00:27:30,105 --> 00:27:34,074
Yeah, but it's not gonna scale until I get
in there and scrape all the Dinesh off.

678
00:27:34,176 --> 00:27:37,143
Well, Laurie still hasn't called
me back, so I may need a new job.

679
00:27:37,245 --> 00:27:40,547
And I'm assuming Pied Piper
can't afford my salary,

680
00:27:40,649 --> 00:27:41,915
so I'll need stock.

681
00:27:42,017 --> 00:27:44,784
Do we really want it to be
called Pied Piper anymore?

682
00:27:44,886 --> 00:27:47,087
No, yes. Of cour...
of... of course we want...

683
00:27:47,189 --> 00:27:48,989
Why do we want to change the name?
It's great.

684
00:27:49,091 --> 00:27:51,458
Yeah, and we do already
have the jackets.

685
00:27:51,560 --> 00:27:54,361
Big. Head.

686
00:27:55,597 --> 00:27:56,796
Big Head.

687
00:27:57,866 --> 00:27:58,798
Go for Erlich.

688
00:27:58,900 --> 00:28:01,968
Erlich Bachman, this
is you as an old man.

689
00:28:02,070 --> 00:28:06,673
I'm ugly and I'm dead. Alone.

690
00:28:07,876 --> 00:28:09,175
I'm gonna let him have this one.

691
00:28:09,277 --> 00:28:10,176
All right, uh...

692
00:28:10,278 --> 00:28:12,379
well, I'm sorry to hear that, Future Me.

693
00:28:12,481 --> 00:28:13,380
What a terrible thing.

694
00:28:13,482 --> 00:28:15,181
I'll talk to you in several years.

695
00:28:15,283 --> 00:28:16,316
You're up.

696
00:28:16,418 --> 00:28:18,118
Always blue! Always blue!

697
00:28:18,220 --> 00:28:20,120
- Always blue!
- Always blue!

698
00:28:20,222 --> 00:28:22,122
Always blue! Always blue!

699
00:28:22,224 --> 00:28:24,190
- Always blue!
- Always blue!

700
00:28:24,292 --> 00:28:25,392
Always blue!
