Rules of Honorable Play

00:00:07

( music playing )

00:00:33

( beeps )

00:00:35

Jesus.

00:00:38

( chatter )

00:01:01

( fizzing )

00:02:01

Doug: Your code loops all over the place.

00:02:03

It's not structured. It's not maintainable by anyone.

00:02:05

- I disagree. - There are reentrant forks, no way of knowing which branch invoked a function.

00:02:10

We don't do that in C++. It's officially deprecated in the language.

00:02:13

I can maintain it. There are condition flags for everything.

00:02:16

There's no one-way arrow.

00:02:17

Is that what you want to do?

00:02:19

Be the code grunt for this sick piece of choss?

00:02:20

Dougie, chill.

00:02:22

My guys will flowchart it. I'll write out the flags...

00:02:24

I'm sure you will.

00:02:26

The flow chart would strangle us. It's a mess.

00:02:28

And what do you mean your guys?

00:02:29

It's fast and it fits.

00:02:31

It's no longer necessary.

00:02:32

Doug, we bought your company.

00:02:35

You should adapt to our programming language.

00:02:37

I know it sucks to be rewritten.

00:02:39

It doesn't make sense.

00:02:41

It's like asking a race car to adapt to a covered wagon.

00:02:43

- Poetic. - Maybe we should all try to, you know, take our egos out of it.

00:02:47

Well, my ego would love to have a good night's sleep, but sadly it has to rewrite your code first.

00:02:52

( pencil clatters )

00:02:53

Yikes.

00:02:55

Diane, I am so sorry.

00:02:56

Diane: It's all fun and games

00:02:57

till someone gets stabbed in the cheek.

00:03:01

Hi.

00:03:02

I'm just here to observe.

00:03:05

Okay, well...

00:03:08

I think we're all on the same page now.

00:03:10

Definitely. Um, we're really close.

00:03:13

( scoffs )

00:03:15

Maybe this'll help.

00:03:17

It's an integration road map.

00:03:19

Look, we think the way you created Mutiny was brilliant.

00:03:21

The original block of code was truly innovative.

00:03:23

Mm-hmm, but?

00:03:25

It doesn't play nice with our SwapMeet code.

00:03:27

If you make some changes to that block and we make some changes to our C++...

00:03:32

It's a bug factory. The old code makes it impossible to keep track of the reentrant looping.

00:03:38

But I don't need the object-oriented language, okay?

00:03:41

I can keep track of the looping in my head.

00:03:43

Oh, I get it. You're that good.

00:03:45

Yeah, I am. Aren't you?

00:03:48

Bosworth: ...looking all around and then

00:03:49

he came around the side of the trailer there.

00:03:52

And I swear to God, he goes,

00:03:53

"Man, that ain't no bear. That's your ex-wife."

00:03:55

- Grr! - ( laughs )

00:03:57

- She was just doing the whole thing. - Uh-oh.

00:03:59

Oh, you surprised to see her?

00:04:02

- Yeah. - Mm-mm.

00:04:03

Adios, amiga.

00:04:05

- Hey there. - Hi.

00:04:06

Hi.

00:04:08

( stammers ) Here, go ahead. After you.

00:04:10

Thank you. ( chuckles )

00:04:13

Good day, ladies.

00:04:15

Donna: Hi. Well, this is a nice surprise.

00:04:17

I was in the neighborhood.

00:04:20

So, how's it going with the SwapMeet guys?

00:04:22

Um, good.

00:04:25

You keep telling me that on the phone with that same not-so-sure thing you do with your voice.

00:04:29

What not-so-sure thing?

00:04:31

( chuckles )

00:04:33

Anyway, I just popped into their project meeting.

00:04:36

The vibe was pretty hostile.

00:04:38

Why haven't you told me?

00:04:40

Well, it's a work in progress.

00:04:42

- Donna. - ( sighs ) I know.

00:04:44

Cam isn't comfortable with the guys yet, and I'm working on it.

00:04:48

- How are you working on it? - Well--

00:04:50

My point is, we should be working on it.

00:04:52

If there are issues, we need to air them out.

00:04:54

Otherwise resentment festers and the whole thing starts to rot.

00:04:59

All right, how about this?

00:05:00

We could all go to dinner tonight, have some wine, talk things through.

00:05:04

- I do like wine. - Great.

00:05:06

But I can't do tonight.

00:05:07

I've got tickets to a charity thing, a fundraiser for Save the Bay.

00:05:10

- Oh, that sounds-- - Terrible.

00:05:12

I was gonna say lovely.

00:05:14

My date just cancelled and I have a plus one.

00:05:17

I could check with Gordon, see if he could watch the girls tonight.

00:05:20

No, um...

00:05:22

I was thinking about John Bosworth.

00:05:24

Oh.

00:05:27

I mean... really?

00:05:30

Bosworth: "Man, that ain't no bear. That's my ex-wife."

00:05:33

- ( all laugh ) - Grr!

00:05:35

You know, there'll be a whole slew of Valley big shots there.

00:05:39

It's a great opportunity for John to make some business connections.

00:05:42

Sure.

00:05:44

But... nobody calls him John.

00:05:50

I do.

00:05:53

"Never Get Older" playing

00:05:58

All right, guys.

00:06:00

Guys.

00:06:02

- Guys, please, please! - Shh!

00:06:04

Bodie: Yo, shut up, kid!

00:06:08

All right, I know we've gotten off to a rough start, and I'm sorry about that.

00:06:11

That's the understatement of the century.

00:06:12

We're in a bit of a holding pattern ever since Cam took over for our lead coder.

00:06:16

- Louis: Yeah, that was genoid. - Bodie: You don't know jack about it.

00:06:18

But we're gonna use this as an opportunity.

00:06:20

Now, I know we've had some success flowcharting the two systems.

00:06:24

How are we doing with our organizational training objectives?

00:06:26

Oh, you mean the buddy system?

00:06:29

It's a nightmare trying to train these jokers.

00:06:31

All they want to do is bitch about C++.

00:06:34

( robotic voice ) C++.

00:06:36

He just follows me around all day doing this idiotic routine.

00:06:38

- C++. - Carl, he's your trainee, okay?

00:06:40

- I don't care. - Master Carl, I've been programmed

00:06:42

- to observe your every move... - Okay.

00:06:44

...so I may learn from your flawed behavior what it is to be human.

00:06:47

Shut up, shut up, shut up!

00:06:49

Bodie: He's not even funny.

00:06:50

Bodie, stop antagonizing him, okay?

00:06:53

- Beep-boop-beep. - Get out of my face!

00:06:55

- Hey! - Whoa, whoa!

00:06:57

Let's kill these a-holes!

00:06:59

- Calm down! - All: Oh!

00:07:01

Oh, shit. You okay?

00:07:07

Everyone, sit down.

00:07:15

What the f--?

00:07:16

( theme music playing )

00:07:50

You see? It is just so charming.

00:07:53

It has all the original molding.

00:07:55

And all the original mold.

00:07:57

And the backyard is adorable. It's perfect for barbecues.

00:08:01

Oh, did you hear that?

00:08:06

Okay, why don't I give you and your, uh, friend a minute to talk?

00:08:11

Thanks.

00:08:15

She thinks we're a couple.

00:08:16

You're not my type.

00:08:18

Yeah, this place has character.

00:08:20

This isn't a generic box.

00:08:22

No, the Mutiny house had character.

00:08:24

This place is just quaint.

00:08:27

You've hated every place we've seen.

00:08:29

So? I'm picky.

00:08:31

And nothing feels right.

00:08:34

Is this about the house or is this something else?

00:08:37

It's Thing One and Thing Two.

00:08:41

God, I can't stand them.

00:08:43

Especially the bigger Thing, this arrogant frat boy.

00:08:47

( whines )

00:08:49

The smaller Thing's not so bad.

00:08:50

You know their names.

00:08:52

Yes, Tweedledee and Tweedledum.

00:08:53

Heckle and Jeckle. Frick and Frack.

00:08:55

I get it. But they want to be useful.

00:08:58

By what? Translating everything into C++?

00:09:00

Donna, if I knew that was the plan, I wouldn't have signed on.

00:09:04

But we did sign on.

00:09:06

The guys are under a two-year contract with a piece of the company. We married them.

00:09:09

We have to sit down and talk it out before the whole thing festers and rots.

00:09:16

- We're having dinner tomorrow night. - What?

00:09:19

That's a horrible idea. Who suggested that?

00:09:22

I did.

00:09:23

Oh, great.

00:09:25

And so now you're just informing me.

00:09:27

See? It already feels like home.

00:09:33

MacMillan Utility was always intended to be a jumping-off point.

00:09:36

Totally. It's all about transformation.

00:09:39

Many companies start doing one thing and then change direction.

00:09:42

If we can just find the right vector.

00:09:44

Ryan: Then our freeware can stay free.

00:09:47

Router tech is promising.

00:09:49

Ah, Cisco's already way ahead on that one.

00:09:51

Uh, 3-D graphics. Uh, AI.

00:09:55

- 5th gen systems. - It's a billion-dollar road to nowhere.

00:09:57

I give it a year.

00:09:59

Fairchild made cameras. Now they make semiconductors.

00:10:01

Coleco was the Connecticut Leather Company.

00:10:04

Now they make video games.

00:10:05

Yeah, and Mutiny started as a games company.

00:10:07

- Shut up. - Sorry, I'm just so stoked to be a part of your process.

00:10:11

- Plus the caffeine... - No, I mean be quiet.

00:10:14

Now.

00:10:16

Please.

00:10:18

Shh.

00:10:28

Uh... okay.

00:10:30

Let's circle the five best ideas.

00:10:41

Wait, what-- what are you doing, man?

00:10:43

We spent weeks on that.

00:10:45

There's some good stuff there.

00:10:50

Good is the enemy of great.

00:10:52

If anything's worth pursuing, we'll remember it tomorrow.

00:10:55

00:11:50

I mean, we all want the same thing, right?

00:11:56

Yeah.

00:12:00

Maybe we... got into this too quickly, but, yeah, let's-- we're in it now, so...

00:12:06

If you think it was too quick, you have your man Bos to thank.

00:12:09

- He strong-armed us into taking the deal. - Really?

00:12:13

- 'Cause I heard that you and Greg misrepresented... - It's Craig.

00:12:15

...the value of your company to lure us into overpaying.

00:12:17

What's your deal?

00:12:19

Why do you have such a hard time playing with others?

00:12:21

Were you born this way or did some loser ex-boyfriend turn you into a man-hating bitch?

00:12:39

- Yes. - It's Len.

00:12:42

What's wrong?

00:12:43

Nothing, just-- sorry to call you at work.

00:12:45

I wanted to let you know your mom...

00:12:47

What?

00:12:49

Your mom and I are selling the house.

00:12:51

Bought a little condo outside of Miami.

00:12:53

We gotta get rid of all that crap in the garage.

00:12:56

Do-- do you want your dad's stuff?

00:12:59

Your mom saved it for you, but, you know, Miami.

00:13:03

We're gonna sell everything that's left over 4th of July weekend.

00:13:06

I was hoping you might come and take a look,

00:13:07

say hello to your mother.

00:13:09

It's not like it used to be.

00:13:12

She's much better now.

00:13:14

Oh, uh... then why didn't she call?

00:13:20

I hope you're doing well out there.

00:13:22

I'll let your mom know that we talked.

00:13:24

( line clicks, dial tone )

00:13:30

( indistinct arguing )

00:13:35

Craig: You need to apologize.

00:13:37

All you have to do is say, "I'm sorry," that's it.

00:13:39

How many times have I gotta try?

00:13:41

- God. - Wait, Doug!

00:13:49

( door opens, closes )

00:13:59

Hey, what was that about?

00:14:01

Oh.

00:14:03

Oh, just the usual ups and downs of a magical partnership.

00:14:08

You're here late.

00:14:10

But then you're probably always here late.

00:14:14

Are you implying that I don't have a life?

00:14:17

Yes.

00:14:23

You could say that Doug and I have different styles.

00:14:27

No shit.

00:14:29

He just walked into my office and called me a bitch.

00:14:31

( sighs )

00:14:35

I am so sorry.

00:14:37

Look, we're really excited to be part of Mutiny.

00:14:42

It's just SwapMeet was our baby.

00:14:46

I think Doug still feels down about having to sell.

00:14:49

But that's no excuse.

00:14:58

You want to see something cool?

00:14:59

Is it a dead body?

00:15:03

Only if Doug's still here.

00:15:11

You sure this is okay?

00:15:13

He won't mind.

00:15:35

Can I ask you something?

00:15:39

Okay.

00:15:41

Why won't you change that original block of PL/M?

00:15:48

It's the only piece left that I wrote by myself.

00:15:54

Alone in my bedroom, just me.

00:15:58

Back when this whole place was just me.

00:16:02

I did all the timings by hand,

00:16:04

I checked the status on every buffer

00:16:06

and every keystroke every time, all with check loops.

00:16:11

It was fast and it was...

00:16:13

Beautiful.

00:16:16

It is beautiful.

00:16:26

Yeah.

00:16:29

And what do you want me to say?

00:16:30

I-- I'm proud of this place.

00:16:34

But back then, it was this secret.

00:16:38

It was all mine.

00:16:45

Then we should leave it alone.

00:17:03

Ah.

00:17:10

( sighs )

00:17:12

Just got the weirdest phone call.

00:17:15

My stepfather.

00:17:17

I guess he and my mom are moving to Florida.

00:17:23

They're selling all my dad's stuff.

00:17:28

He died when I was nine.

00:17:31

Shit.

00:17:34

I'm sorry to hear that.

00:17:37

Just he had this motorcycle... an old Panhead Harley.

00:17:45

Oh, he used to ride me to school on it.

00:17:50

I'd show up to kindergarten with this, like, gigantic helmet.

00:17:54

I'm sure it looked ridiculous, but it was-- it just felt so...

00:18:07

You should go get the bike.

00:18:22

Have you ever considered a solo business venture?

00:18:24

( soft laugh )

00:18:30

- ( gunshots ) - ( quacking )

00:18:34

( game chiming )

00:18:39

Hmm.

00:18:41

Wasn't the Nintendo system supposed to be for Joanie?

00:18:44

- ( gunshots ) - No, it was a family present.

00:18:49

Anyways, I had to unwind after that brawl today.

00:18:54

I honestly don't know what to do about those guys.

00:18:56

Cardiff had its challenges, but no one ever punched me in the ear.

00:19:01

Yeah, well, you're not at Cardiff anymore.

00:19:04

( gunshots )

00:19:09

There's your answer.

00:19:10

Just take the guys out back and shoot 'em.

00:19:13

( quacking )

00:19:21

( chimes )

00:19:25

Bosworth: Well, he comes around the side of the trailer,

00:19:27

and he goes, "Man, that ain't a bear.

00:19:29

That's your ex-wife."

00:19:30

- Grr! - ( laughing )

00:19:33

See? Thank you, thank you.

00:19:36

( coughs ) Man, it was crazy, man.

00:19:40

And I don't know how long she stayed there.

00:19:42

She was there all night,

00:19:44

just sort of frozen in place.

00:19:45

Grr! The poor bastard...

00:19:48

( woman giggles, screams )

00:19:50

( continues indistinctly )

00:19:52

- ( music playing ) - ( chattering )

00:20:01

Don't move.

00:20:11

Joe MacMillan.

00:20:14

Of course.

00:20:16

Diane Gould.

00:20:18

Funny that we've never officially met.

00:20:21

But I'm certainly aware of you.

00:20:23

Amador Gould Gilson. I admire your business model.

00:20:26

Small, intelligent investment portfolio.

00:20:30

I guess you could call that boutique.

00:20:31

Well, size isn't everything, right?

00:20:36

I hear you facilitated the SwapMeet acquisition at Mutiny.

00:20:40

Congrats.

00:20:41

We're very excited about it.

00:20:43

I'm surprised Cameron Howe wanted to play ball with another company.

00:20:46

She must be in a good place.

00:20:49

Excuse me. Can I, um--

00:20:52

- can I borrow you for a sec? - Yeah.

00:20:54

It's great to finally meet you.

00:20:56

Mm, you as well.

00:21:06

( whooping, giggling )

00:21:09

- ( music continues ) - ( chatter )

00:21:14

How do I get one of these?

00:21:16

Uh, make more money.

00:21:19

Which brings us to our little problem.

00:21:22

You heard of this individual, Topher Erickson?

00:21:24

Does not ring a bell.

00:21:26

His father's Cal Erickson, senior vice president of General Atomics.

00:21:29

Okay.

00:21:31

Well, apparently he was at one of your parties and indulged in a copious amount of cocaine.

00:21:38

Mm-hmm.

00:21:39

And then grabbed someone and went off on a little joyride in the brand-new Ferrari his father procured for his 18th birthday.

00:21:44

What kind of jerk spends 60 grand and buys Italian?

00:21:47

Yeah, well, this particular jerk funds about a quarter of your business.

00:21:51

Hmm, okay.

00:21:53

And it's boring old contractor clients like that that float your little software experiments.

00:21:58

I'm gonna mingle.

00:22:00

Set something up. I'll do damage control.

00:22:02

Good.

00:22:04

- Hi there. - Mm.

00:22:07

Friendly fella.

00:22:09

Well, we can't all have your Southern charm.

00:22:13

I want to thank you for calling me when my grandson was born.

00:22:18

That was you, right?

00:22:19

Mm-hmm.

00:22:21

Oh, sure. Joe MacMillan, man of mystery.

00:22:25

Yeah, it's always good to hear from an old... friend.

00:22:29

Well, you seem to be doing just fine making new friends.

00:22:32

Oh, Miss Gould is just a business associate.

00:22:34

Oh, no, I mean everyone here.

00:22:36

They're lapping you up.

00:22:38

It's a good call, playing up the Texas thing.

00:22:39

People love a performance.

00:22:41

It looks like you're in a performance of your own, huh?

00:22:43

More of a one-man show kind of thing.

00:22:45

Yeah, I'm a regular Spalding Gray.

00:22:52

I left someone hanging.

00:22:53

Be well.

00:23:01

Oh, good, you're still here.

00:23:03

I was worried you got kidnapped by that old pal Joe MacMillan.

00:23:10

- Can I top you off? - Yes, please.

00:23:22

You certainly made a splash tonight.

00:23:24

How so?

00:23:28

You're the life of the party.

00:23:30

Everybody loves you.

00:23:34

Between you and me, I told Donna

00:23:37

I was inviting you for business.

00:23:39

But really, I just didn't feel like flying solo, you know, under the circumstances?

00:23:44

Glad I could be of service.

00:23:46

Isn't that crazy?

00:23:48

That you can build a life with someone, raise kids, spend your 20s, your 30s, half your damn 40s together,

00:23:55

and in the end feel nothing?

00:23:59

How is that possible?

00:24:01

I don't know.

00:24:03

Would you like a cigarette?

00:24:05

No.

00:24:07

No, I'm good.

00:24:10

Somewhere along the line, I lost my taste for tobacco.

00:24:13

And champagne.

00:24:15

Parties.

00:24:28

I told my lawyer I didn't want to fly up here and bail Topher out right away.

00:24:32

Let him cool his heels for a while, reflect upon his actions.

00:24:35

Plus, SF's not my cup of tea.

00:24:38

It must be hard to leave La Jolla.

00:24:39

I love Del Mar. It's got the perfect mix of sand bottom beach breaks and patchy reefs.

00:24:45

It's, uh-- it's very easy to find a wave you can call your own.

00:24:50

I've always envied surfers.

00:24:51

We do a little naval work out at Coronado Island.

00:24:54

- Mm. - Those bastards offshore

00:24:56

look like they don't have a care in the world while I'm stuck to my seat worrying about packet switching and computer viruses, thank you very much.

00:25:02

- ( chuckles ) - Packet switching?

00:25:05

- Is that with the DoD? - Yeah, nothing sexy.

00:25:07

Just moving a bunch of electronic boxes around.

00:25:09

- Mm. - System's so damn clunky,

00:25:10

they're gonna overhaul the whole thing.

00:25:12

Ken: Ugh, sounds like a pain in the ass.

00:25:13

You know what you should do?

00:25:15

You should take a page from those carefree bastards and you should catch a wave, huh? Clear your mind.

00:25:21

Joe's got a great instructor down your way.

00:25:25

She's, uh-- she's amazing.

00:25:27

And guess what, her name-- it's, uh-- her name is Sandy.

00:25:30

- ( both laugh ) - Sandy.

00:25:31

- Right, Joe. - ( chuckles )

00:25:33

That's good. Love to meet her.

00:25:39

Look, I know I'm being managed here.

00:25:42

Glenfiddich goes down nice, but it doesn't wipe away the taste of that phone call from those cops.

00:25:46

Topher's still a teenager. We don't let our boy run wild.

00:25:49

Cal, I was very troubled when I heard what happened to your son.

00:25:53

I had no idea there were minors in my home or narcotics, and in no universe would I approve of that.

00:26:03

All right.

00:26:05

You seem like a decent man.

00:26:07

Not some 'Frisco nutjob.

00:26:09

I'll submit a detailed report to the big boss, i.e., my wife, and, uh, that should clear things up.

00:26:16

Might not mention Sandy to her, though.

00:26:20

Nothing like a girl in a wet suit, am I right?

00:26:22

You sure are. Although, I prefer a bikini.

00:26:24

Yeah.

00:26:26

Some of our business associates in SF, they're a little funny, if you catch my drift.

00:26:33

Soft handshakes.

00:26:35

Hell, maybe we'll get lucky and all the faggots will catch that special flu that's going around.

00:26:40

As long as my son stays away from it.

00:26:42

But, uh, got plenty of time to whip him into shape.

00:26:44

Like I said, he's still a kid.

00:26:46

All right, gentlemen, it's that time.

00:26:49

All right. Yes, sir.

00:26:52

Hey, watch it, man.

00:26:54

Do you know, I wouldn't worry about your son.

00:26:56

He'll find his path when he gets away from you.

00:26:59

But I feel sorry for your wife.

00:27:01

She has to lie there taking it, wondering what the hell she did to have your stinking breath in her face.

00:27:07

Or, wait, maybe I was wrong.

00:27:11

Maybe the big boss isn't the one taking it.

00:27:14

Hey, Jesus Christ, Joe.

00:27:16

We had the son of a bitch locked and you had to--

00:27:18

Had to what?

00:27:19

We sell security software to the government.

00:27:23

Hey, wait. Come on, hey!

00:27:35

Hey.

00:27:36

Hey.

00:27:38

It was great hanging out with you last night.

00:27:42

Mm-hmm.

00:27:44

( keyboard clacking )

00:27:50

- Can I just-- - Uh, yeah.

00:28:07

Sure.

00:28:09

Cool.

00:28:11

I'll let you get back to work.

00:28:19

( groans )

00:28:26

I heard you two had a good conversation last night.

00:28:28

Uh, yeah.

00:28:31

I decided to, uh, keep the SwapMeet code as it is and translate some of Mutiny into C++ to bridge the interface.

00:28:37

Really? That's great.

00:28:38

The guys are gonna be thrilled.

00:28:39

And I think we should fire them.

00:28:44

What? Why?

00:28:47

Do you have an actual, you know, reason we can give Diane, since she's the one who's gonna have to pay for it?

00:28:52

Yes.

00:28:55

We don't need them.

00:28:58

Well, the dinner is tonight.

00:28:59

If you really want to fire the guys, then you can tell Diane yourself.

00:29:05

"You Make Me Wanna Dance" playing in background

00:29:06

Oh, no! They have three-player "Yeti Mountain Mission"?

00:29:10

Race!

00:29:11

No, no, no, no, no. No video games.

00:29:13

We're here to coalesce as a group.

00:29:15

- What? - So line up by "heighth."

00:29:16

- What? - "Heighth"?

00:29:18

Height. Line up by height. How tall you are.

00:29:20

- ( laughing ) - Height.

00:29:23

So you're gonna be at the end.

00:29:24

You're at this end over here.

00:29:26

- Hey, does hair count? - Yes, hair counts.

00:29:28

Down here at the end.

00:29:30

Arki, you're in the center. Lev, you're there.

00:29:32

Wonderboy, down at the end.

00:29:33

Come on, guys.

00:29:35

Bodie: Yeah, Wonderboy.

00:29:37

All right, you've been ordered by Allied Command to select 12 general prisoners...

00:29:41

- I'm innocent. - ...convicted by courts-martial and sentenced to be executed or serve lengthy prison terms for murder, robbery, striking a general in the ear, and other crimes of violence.

00:29:56

And you will deliver them behind enemy lines in France to undertake a mission of sabotage that could change the course of the war.

00:30:05

Okay, Lee Marvin, but don't most of the guys in that movie eat it?

00:30:07

By the end, is it more like the "Dirty Deuce"?

00:30:09

I'll show you a Dirty Deuce, Bodie.

00:30:11

It's a metaphor.

00:30:13

Actually, it's more of an allegory.

00:30:15

Uh, pipe down, Smurfette.

00:30:16

An allegory is a metaphor.

00:30:17

F you, semen.

00:30:19

Semen? Did she just call me semen?

00:30:21

- Man on P.A.: It's time for the next battle! - ( feedback squeals )

00:30:23

God.

00:30:25

Players, follow me for instruction in the rules of honorable play.

00:30:30

Bodie: You need to turn down your toys.

00:30:32

Come on, guys. Let's see a little bit of that Apache know-how.

00:30:34

00:30:35

00:30:38

- Cover me, cover me! - ( coders shouting )

00:30:40

There he is, there he is!

00:30:42

- Buckle up, big man. - Shit!

00:30:46

( shouting indistinctly )

00:30:50

Guys, don't just stand around. Fight back!

00:30:53

I'm out, I'm done. Screw you, asshole.

00:30:56

All right, guys, green team, gather around, gather around.

00:30:59

All right, look, focus, okay?

00:31:01

Guard the base. Get each other's backs, all right?

00:31:03

Is this thing even on?

00:31:05

Bodie, get down. You're in the line of fire!

00:31:07

Wonderboy, get that out of your mouth.

00:31:09

Come on, man, get your head in the game.

00:31:11

( blasting )

00:31:13

Hey, guys, check it out. If you just cover this thing, you can't get hit.

00:31:16

There must be a way to disengage the entire system.

00:31:18

What a bunch of pussies.

00:31:19

That's sexist.

00:31:20

- ( beeps ) - All: Oh!

00:31:22

- He's on our team! - F off, you big D.

00:31:24

- ( beeps ) - Oh, my God, stop!

00:31:26

We're all gonna die!

00:31:28

It's Judgment Day, sinners!

00:32:40

Three weeks?

00:32:42

That's much sooner than we expected, right?

00:32:45

Oh, I just wish--

00:32:47

Let it go. She's not coming.

00:32:49

( sighs )

00:32:51

I thought you two had a good conversation.

00:32:53

Yeah, I thought so, too.

00:32:55

We have so much respect for Cam and what you guys have built together.

00:32:58

It sounds nice and all, but the real question is can you work with her?

00:33:01

- Definitely. - Of course.

00:33:03

We just get the feeling she can't work with us.

00:33:05

00:33:48

It's not your fault.

00:33:49

Can we have the check, please?

00:33:51

I just think if Cam doesn't want to work with the guys, she should have the courage to deal with it face-to-face.

00:33:57

No, I know.

00:33:58

Look, I wanted her to tell you, but since she's not here...

00:34:03

Cam wants to fire Doug and Craig.

00:34:08

Really? That's big.

00:34:09

Yeah.

00:34:11

Do you agree with her?

00:34:13

Well, I-- she's my partner.

00:34:16

Personally, I think these guys are a big asset.

00:34:20

But your relationship with Cameron

00:34:21

is the most important thing.

00:34:23

That's what I'm investing in.

00:34:26

If working with Doug and Craig is untenable,

00:34:29

Mutiny can pay their earn-out early and send 'em home.

00:34:33

But you just said that they're a big asset.

00:34:35

I wouldn't be happy about it, but it's better than forcing something toxic.

00:34:41

I just hope it's the guys who are the problem.

00:34:46

So, how's the team-building coming?

00:34:48

Well, surprisingly productive.

00:34:50

Although I've been banned from future competition due to my controversial military tactics.

00:34:55

- ( chuckles ) - You can get out there. They're still there.

00:34:58

It's stupid fun.

00:34:59

No, I just came by 'cause I-- well, 'cause I said I would.

00:35:05

Well, look at you, Mr. Nice Guy.

00:35:08

Mr. Nice Guy?

00:35:10

Back at Cardiff, you were the heavy SVP of Sales.

00:35:14

All those multimillion-dollar accounts, everybody was scared shitless of you.

00:35:18

You know, including myself.

00:35:20

But now...

00:35:22

Now what?

00:35:24

Look, I just mean, you know, being the boss sounds good, but this is better.

00:35:30

There's minimal responsibility, maximum fun.

00:35:32

Which reminds me, what's that story you keep telling the guys?

00:35:37

- Something about... - That thing's outta gas.

00:35:39

( coders laughing ) Bos!

00:35:43

- You should've seen it. - Oh, man, you're not gonna believe it.

00:35:45

Gordon went full-on kamikaze.

00:35:47

He practically murdered the guy.

00:35:50

It seemed totally lame at first, but it was actually pretty awesome.

00:35:52

Yeah, even she liked it.

00:35:54

( all laugh )

00:35:55

You should play the next round, man.

00:35:56

- You would shred this course. - No.

00:35:58

Coders: Come on. Come on.

00:36:00

( chanting ) Bos! Bos! Bos!

00:36:06

No, I'm good.

00:36:08

I said I'm good!

00:36:17

Go have another round.

00:36:19

Get on in there. You guys enjoy it.

00:36:21

- Okay, yeah. - ( overlapping chatter )

00:36:23

00:36:42

00:36:54

Cam.

00:36:57

What time is it?

00:36:59

It's late. You missed the dinner.

00:37:02

Oh, my God, Donna, I'm sorry.

00:37:04

Jesus, I-- I don't know...

00:37:08

I meant to be there. I planned to be there.

00:37:10

I don't know what happened.

00:37:11

You're overworked, that's what happened.

00:37:12

You're exhausted.

00:37:15

Um, how was the dinner?

00:37:17

Fine.

00:37:20

Doug sucked up a lot.

00:37:21

God, I hate that guy.

00:37:23

I know. But Craig's okay.

00:37:25

Yeah.

00:37:28

After they left,

00:37:30

I told Diane you want to fire them.

00:37:32

And?

00:37:37

She said no.

00:37:41

What do you mean, she said no?

00:37:42

They're a part of the deal.

00:37:45

They're an important asset and we have to find a way to make it work.

00:37:49

( chuckles ) What?

00:37:50

I thought she was on our side.

00:37:52

She feels it's what's best for the company.

00:38:02

Okay.

00:38:04

( exhales )

00:38:07

Okay, well, thank you for asking. I really appreciate it.

00:38:11

Yeah.

00:38:15

- I'll see you at home. - Yeah.

00:38:35

( door opens, closes )

00:38:49

( door opens )

00:38:51

Hello?

00:38:54

I'm cool to work at night, but your call kind of freaked me out.

00:38:58

We lost General Atomics today.

00:39:01

They represent 37% of our annual billing.

00:39:05

What happened?

00:39:07

I traded them for something more valuable.

00:39:11

What's this?

00:39:13

The log-in credentials for the ARPANET, the Department of Defense packet-switching network.

00:39:18

I secured the information through General Atomics.

00:39:20

I want you to look into it before they flag that my credentials still work.

00:39:24

Okay, but, you know, the ARPANET isn't new tech.

00:39:28

It's sort of rusty. It's not like missile codes or fighter plane blueprints.

00:39:32

This is-- this is mundane stuff.

00:39:34

I do know that. It's antiquated.

00:39:37

And that means it's ripe for an upgrade.

00:39:40

So what should I do?

00:39:42

I need you to go into it, map it, and help me figure out what's next.

00:39:51

- ( duck quacking ) - ( gunshots )

00:39:56

- Cameron: Why? - ( game chimes )

00:39:57

( Cameron and Gordon chatting indistinctly )

00:40:10

- Play after this. - There's two controllers, though.

00:40:12

Play after I finish the best out of 10.

00:40:16

Man, you're like some kind of "Duck Hunt" savant.

00:40:20

Does that mean I'm totally deficient in other areas?

00:40:22

Like "Duck Hunt" savant, but bad team player.

00:40:27

Come on. ( groans )

00:40:29

So how's it going with...

00:40:30

( German accent ) ...Dick und Doof?

00:40:32

Dick und Doof?

00:40:34

That's what my grandfather called Laurel and Hardy.

00:40:36

Loosely translates to "chubby and dumb."

00:40:38

Well, that's perfect, 'cause Doug's the Dick...

00:40:43

Und Craig ist Doof.

00:40:44

- Ja. - Ja.

00:40:46

( both laugh )

00:40:47

Ahh!

00:40:51

Oh, whatever, though.

00:40:52

I guess I'm gonna have to make it work.

00:40:57

All right, hope you haven't lost your edge now that you're a peacemaker.

00:41:04

Uh, oh, do you want a soda?
