00:00:22Jesse: Westgroup headquarters network
00:00:23off-line for over 80 hours.
00:00:25New York's mainframe off-line for two days.
00:00:28Hundreds of databases and disk drives are wiped,
00:00:30corporate banking has been frozen
00:00:32until our accounts data can be recovered,
00:00:34legal is drowning in calls from vendors and third parties--
00:00:37Just give me the damn numbers.
00:00:39Westgroup stock price is already down 8% and we're looking at an incurred cost of several million.
00:00:48And Joe?
00:00:52The board recognizes that he's to blame, but they don't feel it prudent to pursue a criminal investigation.
00:00:56( chuckles )
00:00:58So they chose a scapegoat.
00:01:02( chuckles )
00:01:07- They'll be with you shortly. - My wife, she's not here yet.
00:01:10Um, I'd like to speak with her before--
00:01:12I'll show her in when she arrives.
00:01:36Cameron: So, this is Lev right here.
00:01:38Donna: Lev, you look so cool online.
00:01:40- Yeah, like in real life. - ( laughs )
00:01:43- Cameron: Okay, um... - Bodie, why do you have a skull head?
00:01:47'Cause it's wicked and awesome.
00:01:49Yes, okay, so each visualization is totally customizable.
00:01:52The more time you spend online, the more options become available to you.
00:01:55Yeah.
00:01:57So, walk here to Mutiny Mall, here to News & Updates--
00:02:00Is Town Hall ready for my admin talk tomorrow?
00:02:02Yeah, you just have to figure out what you want to look like online.
00:02:05Hey, uh, so since I'm taking over accounting,
00:02:07I just want to make sure I have the correct info for our new network partner.
00:02:10Is it Telnet or Telenet with an E?
00:02:12It's Telenet with an E.
00:02:14They're based out of DC and the guy we work with over there is Doug or Warren or-- hey, how great is it we don't even know his name?
00:02:21Houston's officially up.
00:02:22How many new subscribers?
00:02:24With the promotion, I've had 29 sign-ups with the new 713 number in the last two hours.
00:02:29Conquering the world one area code at a time.
00:02:32( laughs )
00:02:34( whispers ) This is so real. Let me see.
00:02:35Yeah, is there something else?
00:02:37Yeah, uh, if it's okay with you,
00:02:39I was wondering if I can move to Tom's desk.
00:02:41You see, his has two drawers and mine only has one, so I was thinking, "Dave, you bonehead, you wanna do accounting, you're gonna need more than one drawer."
00:02:49But they don't necessarily have to be Tom's drawers--
00:02:51Yes, fine. Whatever.
00:02:55Hey, have you, uh, heard from him?
00:02:58No.
00:03:00- Um, how is Gordon? - Good, good.
00:03:03I'm gonna go pick him up from a meeting in a couple minutes.
00:03:05- ( ringing ) - Dave: I got it. Probably Telenet.
00:03:08- They like to fax. They're big on faxing. - ( modem screeching )
00:03:10Don't worry, I got it.
00:03:25I was just hoping to speak with Sara before signing.
00:03:28She came in this morning.
00:03:31I'm sorry, someone should've told you that.
00:03:38( sighs )
00:03:49( music playing in background )
00:03:50( scoffs ) You gotta be kidding me.
00:03:52Donna, look at this.
00:03:58( scoffs ) Well, we're doing well, so they're charging us more.
00:04:00Great, great. Here we go again.
00:04:02No, it's because the pie is getting bigger.
00:04:05This is just part of the process.
00:04:07No, no, no, this is about being beholden to somebody else.
00:04:10I mean, it doesn't matter if it's Telenet or Westgroup or Doug or Warren or Joe MacMillan or the Pope.
00:04:14As long as we are on some other dipshit's network, this is gonna keep happening.
00:04:17We'll never be in the driver's seat.
00:04:20Well, the only places that have networkable hardware
00:04:23- are big companies... - I know.
00:04:25...places that can afford the metal.
00:04:28This is time-sharing. This is the name of the game.
00:04:31You know-- look, we'll counter Telenet, we'll do the dance.
00:04:34No, screw the dance.
00:04:37I want to change the music.
00:04:39I know. I know.
00:04:42Look, I gotta go.
00:04:48All right, let's wrap up the day by looking at our stress journals.
00:04:52Last session, I asked you all to note your stresses, big and small, conflicts, frustrations, fears, and rate them from one to five, five being the most stressful.
00:05:03First, I'd like to quickly go around the room and have everyone say their final stress tally out loud.
00:05:07- Robert? - 39.
00:05:10- Paul? - Uh, 24.
00:05:13That's excellent, Paul.
00:05:15- Diane? - 57.
00:05:18Why so much stress this week, Diane?
00:05:20The bus route changed, so I've been driving the girls to school myself and I had to go by K-Mart, and the K-Mart by our house isn't open yet, so now I have to go all the way to the one in Carrollton--
00:05:28Okay.
00:05:30We'll discuss that.
00:05:32- Gordon? - Uh, ahem, 0.28.
00:05:37That's pretty low. Must've been a good week.
00:05:40Yeah, nothing to report.
00:05:44I'm home, taking my medication.
00:05:46Kids are headed back to school, so...
00:05:48What registered the .28 of stress?
00:05:51Oh, uh, I couldn't find my glasses.
00:05:56Anything else come to mind?
00:05:59Something you might've failed to capture in your journal?
00:06:02Nope.
00:06:04Just seeing the glasses thing here, Brendan.
00:06:06Okay, well... since that's all we've got, that's what we'll workshop.
00:06:14Why don't you role-play your stress for us?
00:06:17Sure.
00:06:21I woke up and I thought...
00:06:26"Where are my glasses?"
00:06:28And then I found them and I said...
00:06:31( chuckles ) "Here they are."
00:06:33No, let's get you on your feet.
00:06:35I'd like to see you act it out in the center of the group.
00:06:44Here, why don't you take them off and I'll hold them while you look for them?
00:06:49Okay, it's the morning.
00:06:52You just woke up, but can't find your glasses.
00:06:57Go.
00:06:59Oh, no.
00:07:02I can't find my glasses.
00:07:04Where are they?
00:07:06I'm never gonna be able to see again.
00:07:09I'm blind. Oh, no.
00:07:13Brendan: Rather than caption what's happening,
00:07:15why don't you tell us how you're feeling?
00:07:17Right now I feel like I'm wasting my time.
00:07:20How do you feel about losing your glasses?
00:07:22I'm mad that I can't find them.
00:07:25What else?
00:07:26I'm, uh-- I'm frustrated and I'm-- I'm worried.
00:07:32Why are you worried?
00:07:34Because it's been a few minutes and I'm worried that I lost them and, I don't know,
00:07:43I can't remember where they are, and is this just me forgetting or is this something more?
00:07:51Does it scare you that your illness might progress?
00:07:56No.
00:07:58'Cause they were on the damn kitchen counter.
00:08:03( Gordon exhales )
00:08:38( horn honks )
00:08:45( sighs )
00:08:46( theme music playing )
00:09:22Where is the peanut butter?
00:09:24Daddy keeps it up there.
00:09:27Hmm?
00:09:28My Eggo's still cold in the middle.
00:09:31Well, it's also drowning in syrup, so maybe that makes up for it.
00:09:37Excuse me!
00:09:38What kind of behavior is that?
00:09:40Why can't Daddy make breakfast? You suck at this.
00:09:43Joanie Marie!
00:09:47We all need to work together, okay?
00:09:50Your dad got a little upset.
00:09:53- Like in California? - Shut up, stupid.
00:09:55Hey, no name-calling.
00:09:58What happened in California?
00:10:00Nothing.
00:10:04Joanie?
00:10:06Daddy and Uncle Henry got into a yelling fight, and the three of us had to sleep in a crummy motel.
00:10:14Why didn't you tell me any of this?
00:10:17Because then you and Daddy would fight like him and Uncle Henry.
00:10:21Oh, what was the fight about?
00:10:24Joanie.
00:10:28Everything okay?
00:10:34Yeah, uh, Joanie didn't like her breakfast.
00:10:37We're out of orange juice.
00:10:38And there's no coffee.
00:10:42( whispers ) It's okay, sweetheart.
00:10:50- ( phone rings ) - Woman: Reception.
00:10:54I'll let him know.
00:10:56Mr. MacMillan, they're ready.
00:11:05Bondham: Yeah, we had Mutiny in here, but frankly I was on the fence about them from the get-go.
00:11:10And I heard they're doing pretty well recently.
00:11:11I'm chalking that up to dumb luck.
00:11:14Mutiny certainly isn't the answer to anything, but I will say this burgeoning online sector is the place to be in technology right now.
00:11:20Do you have something in mind?
00:11:22Mutiny's fine if I live in Dallas, but what if I want to access information in Toronto, San Francisco, Tokyo?
00:11:28What if I live in rural Nebraska where there is no service?
00:11:32So, what, you want to do the first online service in Omaha?
00:11:35Omaha is just a place on the map.
00:11:38I'm trying to make maps irrelevant.
00:11:40This service allows customers to dial in from one location and dial out from banks in a completely different city.
00:11:46Something like this sidesteps long-distance fees.
00:11:49I'm gonna stop you right there.
00:11:52Now, you brought Westgroup into tech recently, right?
00:11:55WestNet? All that?
00:11:57I transitioned Westgroup into time-sharing and helped them realize a dormant passive income stream.
00:12:01So why did you torch it?
00:12:09- I didn't. - ( chuckles ) No, that's not what I heard.
00:12:13( clicks tongue )
00:12:16Here's the honest truth.
00:12:18We don't have a dime for ya.
00:12:20We took this meeting out of morbid curiosity.
00:12:24Now, the press story is that Wheeler botched the tech move, but I know some guys on the inside over there who told me the real story, and what I want to know is... why?
00:12:37Also how?
00:12:39Some destructive program? Right?
00:12:41A virus or something?
00:12:45You know, I looked into you, what you did at Cardiff.
00:12:47Immolating 100 computers out by Lake Texoma.
00:12:50Holy shit. ( laughs )
00:12:54I am blown away.
00:12:57I've never met a legitimate psychopath before.
00:13:08We should buy this.
00:13:09IBM 3033 mainframe. It's a refurbish job.
00:13:12It needs a little love, but then we'd own it.
00:13:14- No more network partners. - Cameron...
00:13:16You know where I found this?
00:13:18Community.
00:13:19I went into the Tech Talk room,
00:13:21I wrote out the specs we'd need, and suddenly I had 100 Mutiny field agents on it.
00:13:25They found this thing in two days.
00:13:27This machine is 10 years old. It uses tape drives--
00:13:31- Which we-- - Control unit is missing.
00:13:33And even if it wasn't in Daly City, California, this is all of our liquid cash plus most of our projected income for the next year, and that's before shipping.
00:13:42And even if we could get it on a truck to move it out here, where would we put it?
00:13:46Yes, there are challenges, sure, but we need to start moving in a--
00:13:51If you want to drive a submarine, you gotta join the Navy.
00:13:55Yeah, you might have to salute somebody every once in a while, but I-- it's better than buying a rickety old diesel boat that sinks you to the bottom of the ocean.
00:14:08This is a reach, even for us.
00:14:13Okay.

00:15:09I rang the doorbell, but then I heard the music, so...
00:15:13I see you're busy. I'll--
00:15:15No, no, I'm just trying out a steam-powered CPU.
00:15:22Look, I know what this looks like-- like they parked the loony bird out back with his kiddy toys, but I'll have you know that these aren't just toys.
00:15:29This is rail transport modeling.
00:15:31I got this back when I was at Cardiff.
00:15:34I just never got around to it.
00:15:37- ( music stops ) - What's going on?
00:15:40I, uh-- I just came by to give you something.
00:15:50What is this, a PROM?
00:15:53It's from the one we reverse engineered.
00:15:55You saved this.
00:15:58I've always kept it as kind of a private touchstone.
00:16:01Nice to have when times are tough.
00:16:04Sounds stupid, but... it always kept me going.
00:16:11Maybe you should hold on to it.
00:16:15Boy, it seems like yesterday, doesn't it?
00:16:20Yeah, it seems like forever ago.
00:16:23Look, I heard about what happened at Westgroup, and if there's anything I can do to help...
00:16:30There may be a way to repair the mainframe.
00:16:33After I blew up Mutiny,
00:16:35I tooled around with the Sonaris code, tried to see if there was any way to reverse it.
00:16:38You look good.
00:16:40I'm glad.
00:16:43W-what about you and Sara?
00:16:46Take care of yourself, Gordon.
00:16:56( music playing in background )
00:17:00There's a company off LBJ that's letting go of their 3081.
00:17:03That sounds promising.
00:17:05- For a million bucks. - ( coders laughing )
00:17:08- I knew he was crazy! - So, Rendon walks back up to this girl and he goes,
00:17:12"Look, you can unplug the jukebox again if you want to, but I know that deep down inside you like Tom Petty, because everyone in this bar-- no, in America-- likes Tom Petty,
00:17:21and it's only a matter of time before you realize that."
00:17:23( laughs ) Tom Rendon and the Heartbreakers.
00:17:26( all laugh )
00:17:28You should just call him.
00:17:37Jesus.
00:17:39The girls are down.
00:17:41Oh, God, I am ready for this day to be over.
00:17:44You know, Telenet wants to have a conference call to discuss the rate hike.
00:17:47It never ends.
00:17:50Have you read this?
00:17:51Upwards of six million in damage and they actually refer to Sonaris by name.
00:17:56Did you take your medicine?
00:17:58Yes, Nurse Ratched.
00:18:01Westgroup's cover story is that some network assessment software went awry.
00:18:07I always hoped one of my inventions would go down in history.
00:18:09I just never knew it was gonna be a goddamn computer virus.
00:18:12Let's talk about something else, huh?
00:18:14( sighs )
00:18:15Joe stopped by today.
00:18:18I didn't mean Joe.
00:18:21He looked like hell.
00:18:23I don't think he's doing well.
00:18:25I'm sorry to hear that.
00:18:27( slams drawer )
00:18:30You know, he stopped by to give me the PROM chip from the IBM we reverse engineered.
00:18:34- He had saved it. - Ha.
00:18:36I've never seen him like this.
00:18:39I feel like he could do something-- something desperate.
00:18:43All because of what Cameron did to him.
00:18:52Doesn't that disgust you?
00:18:54I mean, even just a little bit?
00:18:56You know, I don't think it's a good idea for you to get so worked up like this.
00:18:59You know what the doctor said.
00:19:00She destroyed his entire life, and for what, because he tried to help her?
00:19:05Well, it sounds like you're just going with Joe's version of events, then.
00:19:09Because I think he's telling the truth.
00:19:10Do you remember what kind of a partner he is?
00:19:13When you were in business with him last year, all the things that you accused him of?
00:19:17- But this is different. - Why?
00:19:20Why is it different now?
00:19:21Now suddenly when I experience the exact same thing you do,
00:19:24Joe is a nice guy? Why is he the victim?
00:19:27Joe might not be the most trustworthy person in the world, but what Cameron did to him is the most--
00:19:31We did it.
00:19:34Giving him the virus-- it was our idea, Cameron's and mine.
00:19:39You knew he was leaving Westgroup.
00:19:41- I told you that. - Yeah.
00:19:42Why would he have anything to do with WestNet?
00:19:44He already had one foot in California.
00:19:45The truth is, it doesn't matter.
00:19:47- What do you mean it-- - He's toxic.
00:19:49You know that as well as I do.
00:19:50- What? - Last month when you were so worried that someone was stealing your idea, well, that actually happened to me.
00:19:57- It wasn't just in my head. - Who are you?
00:20:00It's like I don't even know you anymore.
00:20:02- I mean, this entire year-- - Who am I?
00:20:05You kept a serious illness from me for nearly two months.
00:20:08Frankly, I don't know how honest you're being with yourself about it considering how out of control you've been.
00:20:14- I am doing my best to deal with this, okay? - Oh, yeah.
00:20:16I'm taking the pills, I'm going to group.
00:20:18- Which you think is a joke. - I'm doing the--
00:20:19- What? - I saw you there making fun of it.
00:20:22You were not even trying.
00:20:24So you're spying on me in therapy?
00:20:27Unbelievable, Donna.
00:20:28Yeah, because you keep things from me.
00:20:30Well, it sounds like to me we're keeping things from each other.
00:20:33Well, while we're on the topic of secrets...
00:20:37I would like to know what happened in California.
00:20:39Joanie told me that you and Henry got in a shouting match that was apparently so bad you had to take the girls to a motel.
00:20:47Why would you not tell me that?
00:20:49Because, Donna, I had an affair!
00:20:53( voice breaks ) What?
00:20:54( whimpers )
00:20:57It was one night. It was meaningless.
00:21:00It was absolutely stupid.
00:21:03Do I regret it?
00:21:04Yeah, every minute of every day.
00:21:07When I found out I was sick,
00:21:10I looked around for my marriage and it wasn't there.
00:21:17You weren't there.
00:21:19Maybe--
00:21:23maybe this has been broken for a long time,
00:21:27and we're the only ones who don't know it.
00:21:35Joanie.
00:21:37Joanie, sweetheart.
00:21:39( door slams )
00:21:58( gurgling )
00:22:02- Ow. - ( sizzling )
00:22:05- ( sputters ) - ( door opens, closes )
00:22:13Hey.
00:22:18You're here early.
00:22:20I don't know that Gordon and I love each other anymore.
00:22:25And I don't know--
00:22:28I don't know if we can fix it.
00:22:34And I don't even know if I wanna fix it.
00:22:59I don't know what it's like-- um, marriage.
00:23:04Being married, it's--
00:23:08I don't know, I won't pretend to understand.
00:23:15What you and Gordon have, or don't, um, I mean, that's something only you two can figure out.
00:23:31I do know that once in a while, you know, life can give us a sign... point us to a different place, make good things come out of bad.
00:23:48If it weren't for Cardiff Electric, there would've never been a Mutiny, and... you know, if it weren't for Gordon Clark,
00:23:58I would've never met you.
00:24:05Listen, I don't want to add to your misery here, but the coffeemaker is broken,
00:24:12- so... - ( laughs )
00:24:15I think we should move to California.
00:24:20Here.
00:24:28The diesel sub.
00:24:32Look, if we can't bring the mainframe to Mutiny, maybe we bring Mutiny to the mainframe.
00:24:40I think life is giving us a sign here.
00:24:44Yes, we will have to beg, borrow, and steal the money for it, but I-- it would be a fresh start.
00:24:56And I think that that's something that we could both use.
00:25:12( birds chirping )
00:25:17Hey.
00:25:19What's up?
00:25:20Can I come in?
00:25:32I love what you've done to the place.
00:25:37Listen, I was the one who wrote the code that took everything down.
00:25:42Okay? It was me--
00:25:43You didn't do anything wrong.
00:25:45Yeah, but neither did you.
00:25:47I appreciate that, but... it doesn't really matter.
00:25:52What about Sara?
00:25:56Joe?
00:25:58Damn it.
00:26:00You're a good man.
00:26:02You make it really difficult for other people to see that, but I see it, and I suspect she had something to do with that.
00:26:09That supposed to make me feel better?
00:26:16Look, I just came by to give you this.
00:26:20I went into the Sonaris code, fixed the missing branch error.
00:26:24Not only that, this version targets older copies.
00:26:27It eradicates them.
00:26:30I muscled it up some, too, so it'll inoculate machines from future infection.
00:26:34I mean, it's-- it's one hell of an antidote.
00:26:37I mean, it won't undo the damage done, but maybe you can use it to make things right.
00:26:43Or a sign of good faith to Jacob Wheeler.
00:26:45I don't care about Jacob Wheeler.
00:26:47Then screw him. Do it for Sara.
00:26:53When we came to dinner here that night, you said to me,
00:26:57"She makes all the suffering of what we do worth it."
00:27:01And I'm telling you, that is not an easy thing to come by.
00:27:06And when you do, it's-- it's even harder to make it last, and, I don't know.
00:27:16Maybe it can't, but...
00:27:21I do know that you'll hate yourself every day if you don't at least try.
00:27:28Okay.
00:27:31Yeah, okay.
00:27:36Hey, man, come here.
00:27:39( pats back )
00:27:43( exhales )
00:27:51Take care of yourself, Joe.
00:27:54( door closes )
00:28:08( chatter )
00:28:09So I go in and I tell him, I said,
00:28:11"Now, it looks like we're gonna finish the year 110% of quota."
00:28:14My God, the accountant's looking at the numbers.
00:28:15He's going, "Well, it says here 83%, Mr. Bosworth.
00:28:18Says here 83." And I go, "Man, are you including Bannister?
00:28:22That's a $2 million deal, man."
00:28:24He goes, "Well-- well, Bannister didn't close in Q4."
00:28:27And I said, "Sure, it did.
00:28:29I closed that son of a bitch on the 35th of December myself."
00:28:31( all laughing )
00:28:39I tell ya, he's full of these.
00:28:41Get him going, he won't stop.
00:28:43Well, James, you were right about your daddy.
00:28:45A month in, he's already whipping this place into shape.
00:28:48I had no doubt.
00:28:49Well, it's a damn fine place to work, I gotta say.
00:28:51And thank you for inviting me to this big muckety-muck lunch here.
00:28:54Ah, I know you're only manager level now and we're not fast-tracking anything here, but, well, we thought it'd be good for you to hear how things are operating at the upper levels, have your voice in the room.
00:29:04And, Mr. Stern, it goes without saying that I sincerely appreciate the invite to sit down with the senior team today.
00:29:09A junior boy like me is a guppy at this table.
00:29:11Well, without you, we wouldn't have John.
00:29:14Well...
00:29:16You know, I-- I must've told this one about a million times, but I remember when I was a kid, a manager comes in and...
00:29:24( laughs ) ...he says, "Now, Joe, you're under quota.
00:29:27We need to be in the black."
00:29:29So I look at him, I toss my coffee cup up on the forecast, and I say, "Now how's that for bein' in the black?"
00:29:35( muffled laughter )
00:29:43- ( conversation continues indistinctly ) - ( ringing )
00:29:55( birds chirping )
00:30:16( music playing in background )
00:30:20Donna?
00:30:21Donna?
00:30:23Whoa, Gordon, what do you want?
00:30:25- Hey, where's Donna? - Okay, Gordon,
00:30:26I think you need to back off for a little bit.
00:30:28Damn it, this has nothing to do with you.
00:30:29Gordon, I want you out of my house.
00:30:30- Hey. - Is she here?
00:30:32- What the heck is going on? - Is she here?
00:30:34Who?
00:30:36Oh, Christ, I thought she was with you.
00:30:37Gordon, what are you talking about?
00:30:39I can't find Joanie. She's not at the house.
00:30:42She's not at your parents' house.
00:30:44- Haley said she ran away. - Okay-- ( sighs )
00:30:58You haven't seen her at all?
00:30:59Sometimes she rides bikes with Heather after school.
00:31:03( car door closes )
00:31:04Okay, well, just let me know. Thanks.
00:31:08- Did you-- - I didn't see her on Marion and I went all the way to Belt Line.
00:31:12- Oh, what about the, um-- - She's not in the cul-de-sac and she's not down by the creek either.
00:31:16Okay, so, uh, her backpack is gone, her lunch box is gone, her sleeping bag--
00:31:20Donna, I need you to know that I didn't-- look, this wasn't me. I didn't--
00:31:26God damn it, I didn't lose her.
00:31:29Haley said that she ran away, okay?
00:31:32Donna, I need you to know that this wasn't me.
00:31:36Mommy, Daddy, look.
00:31:43- What is that? - It's our camping lantern.
00:31:47I had to leave.
00:31:50I told a secret.
00:31:52And it made you not in love anymore.
00:31:54Hey, hey, listen.
00:31:59Your mom and I may get into an argument sometimes, okay?
00:32:03But it's never because of you, okay?
00:32:07Are you gonna get divorced?
00:32:13Mommy and Daddy love each other very much.
00:32:17But there are some things that we need to talk about.
00:32:23So why don't you go up to the house, give your sister a big old hug, and you two can pick out what kind of pizza to get for dinner, okay?
00:32:32Good girl.
00:32:34Come here.
00:32:41( sighs )
00:32:45( door opens, closes )
00:32:54I don't want to be the woman that leaves her husband when he's sick, but that doesn't mean I won't.
00:33:01I thought a lot about what you said and I think you're right.
00:33:05This marriage isn't working, so we need to do what's best for the kids and what's best for us.
00:33:10So here are my terms.
00:33:15You're gonna write a check.
00:33:20It's gonna be for almost as much money as we have, and we're gonna use it to buy a 3033 mainframe.
00:33:28Not only that, you are gonna help me fix it up and get it running again.
00:33:32The mainframe is in Daly City, so, yes, you are going to move to California.
00:33:39We all are.
00:33:41That is what it costs to fix our marriage.
00:33:45So what is this, extortion?
00:33:49No, it's an investment.
00:33:54Not just in a mainframe, but in something that you believe in or something I thought you believed in before you did what you did.
00:34:01Look, I know it was wrong and I'm sorry.
00:34:04I told you it was a mistake.
00:34:06No, I can't-- I don't want to talk about that.
00:34:11( exhales )
00:34:13Cameron is going to offer you a job at Mutiny and you are gonna take it.
00:34:19You want me to work at Mutiny?
00:34:21No, I want you to work with me.
00:34:25And this taking turns, this one person holding the kite strings while the other person is off chasing something, that isn't working.
00:34:40You really think that moving to California is gonna fix everything?
00:34:44I don't know.
00:34:47But it's the best thing I could come up with.
00:34:52And I do know that if we stay here, we are not gonna make it.
00:35:11Sir, it's already been three hours.
00:35:15I suggest you make an appointment, come back at a more reasonable time.
00:35:19Hey.
00:35:20I was wondering how long you'd wait.
00:35:28( chuckles ) I'm surprised, Joe.
00:35:32You are persistent. I'll give you that much.
00:35:34- I, uh-- - Ooh.
00:35:35I wanted to show you something.
00:35:39( computer screeches, beeps )
00:35:44See, after my time at Cardiff, I went away.
00:35:47I decided I should do things differently, operate from a place of total authenticity.
00:35:53Be open, be human, do the right thing.
00:35:57But the truth is, no one else made that pact with themselves.
00:36:03So why should I?
00:36:04What is this?
00:36:06Damn it.
00:36:08Your computer's now infected with a virus, the same one that took down Westgroup.
00:36:12It's a malignant fetch program, and it will spread from this box to every other networked computer in your organization.
00:36:19Oh, my God. I'm calling security.
00:36:21Security? You want security?
00:36:24Why, 'cause you don't trust me?
00:36:25You don't know what I'll do.
00:36:26Who knows what I'll do?
00:36:30When there's no trust, you're vulnerable.
00:36:32Just because you play by the rules doesn't mean anyone else will.
00:36:35- So what should you do? - ( hangs up phone )
00:36:39You should protect yourself, build a wall.
00:36:42Not like that, like this.
00:36:52- ( computer beeps ) - ( keyboard clacking )
00:36:54Do you know what a vaccine is?
00:36:56It's not medicine; it's a little bit of the virus.
00:36:59You take a little bit of something bad so you can never be hurt like that again.
00:37:03- ( keyboard clacks ) - ( computer beeps )
00:37:04Check it out.
00:37:08Ahem.
00:37:15- ( keyboard clacks ) - ( computer beeps )
00:37:21It's-- how'd you do that?
00:37:24With an antidote to the poison.
00:37:26Sure, this program only protects your machine from this specific virus, but the real product here is security, a shield against those who would hurt you, perhaps because of their own carelessness or simply because they want to destroy you.
00:37:41And after the national exposure of what happened at Westgroup, entire organizations are going to be ravenous for this.
00:37:52The real security is trusting no one.
00:37:59And you came up with this all on your own?
00:38:06- Pizza's here! - Yay!
00:38:09All right, guys, be careful.
00:38:10Don't burn yourselves, okay?
00:38:12( phone ringing )
00:38:18- Hello? - Joe: Gordon, it's me.
00:38:20Hey.
00:38:22"Create the sickness, sell the cure."
00:38:25- What? - "Create the sickness, sell the cure."
00:38:27You remember when you came over to my place?
00:38:30- I can't talk right now, Joe. - No, no, no, I took your advice, Gordon, and I turned this into something good, really good.
00:38:36That's great. I'm glad, but, look, I gotta go.
00:38:39No, no, you gotta hear me out.
00:38:41You'll be glad you did. We should celebrate, Gordon.
00:38:43We've got an incredible opportunity.
00:38:45What are you talking about?
00:38:47I'm talking about you and me together, partnering again.
00:38:51What-- what are you doing right now?
00:38:53We gotta talk this through. I'll come over.
00:38:55Look, I can't do this anymore.
00:38:57Donna and I are moving to California.
00:39:02Great, we can do this in California. In fact, we should.
00:39:05I'm going to work for Mutiny.
00:39:08I need to focus on my family right now.
00:39:13You're going to work for Mutiny?
00:39:15Listen, Joe, I-- I didn't--
00:39:23( birds chirping )
00:39:34Whoa.
00:39:35Good morning.
00:39:39So, here's my offer.
00:39:41While Mutiny is no longer a games company, we are relocating to California and could use a talented hand like yours as we attempt to take our service national.
00:39:50I don't need an answer right away.
00:39:51I just-- you can decide if you want to be on the 8:45 out of DFW tonight.
00:40:01And even if you don't want the job, just come anyways.
00:40:05It's a free plane ticket.
00:40:10That's not a lot of time to decide.
00:40:12Or maybe it's just enough time not to overthink it.

00:40:46Look, if she's in love with a guy named Marty in 1955, then she has a kid, she names him Marty and that kid grows up to look exactly like the Marty that she fell in love with, they're either gonna bone or she's gonna have a nervous breakdown or both.
