00:00:07( music playing )
00:00:33( beeps )
00:00:35Jesus.
00:00:38( chatter )
00:01:01( fizzing )
00:02:01Doug: Your code loops all over the place.
00:02:03It'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.
00:02:10We don't do that in C++. It's officially deprecated in the language.
00:02:13I can maintain it. There are condition flags for everything.
00:02:16There's no one-way arrow.
00:02:17Is that what you want to do?
00:02:19Be the code grunt for this sick piece of choss?
00:02:20Dougie, chill.
00:02:22My guys will flowchart it. I'll write out the flags...
00:02:24I'm sure you will.
00:02:26The flow chart would strangle us. It's a mess.
00:02:28And what do you mean your guys?
00:02:29It's fast and it fits.
00:02:31It's no longer necessary.
00:02:32Doug, we bought your company.
00:02:35You should adapt to our programming language.
00:02:37I know it sucks to be rewritten.
00:02:39It doesn't make sense.
00:02:41It'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.
00:02:47Well, 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 )
00:02:53Yikes.
00:02:55Diane, I am so sorry.
00:02:56Diane: It's all fun and games
00:02:57till someone gets stabbed in the cheek.
00:03:01Hi.
00:03:02I'm just here to observe.
00:03:05Okay, well...
00:03:08I think we're all on the same page now.
00:03:10Definitely. Um, we're really close.
00:03:13( scoffs )
00:03:15Maybe this'll help.
00:03:17It's an integration road map.
00:03:19Look, we think the way you created Mutiny was brilliant.
00:03:21The original block of code was truly innovative.
00:03:23Mm-hmm, but?
00:03:25It doesn't play nice with our SwapMeet code.
00:03:27If you make some changes to that block and we make some changes to our C++...
00:03:32It's a bug factory. The old code makes it impossible to keep track of the reentrant looping.
00:03:38But I don't need the object-oriented language, okay?
00:03:41I can keep track of the looping in my head.
00:03:43Oh, I get it. You're that good.
00:03:45Yeah, I am. Aren't you?
00:03:48Bosworth: ...looking all around and then
00:03:49he came around the side of the trailer there.
00:03:52And 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.
00:03:59Oh, you surprised to see her?
00:04:02- Yeah. - Mm-mm.
00:04:03Adios, amiga.
00:04:05- Hey there. - Hi.
00:04:06Hi.
00:04:08( stammers ) Here, go ahead. After you.
00:04:10Thank you. ( chuckles )
00:04:13Good day, ladies.
00:04:15Donna: Hi. Well, this is a nice surprise.
00:04:17I was in the neighborhood.
00:04:20So, how's it going with the SwapMeet guys?
00:04:22Um, good.
00:04:25You keep telling me that on the phone with that same not-so-sure thing you do with your voice.
00:04:29What not-so-sure thing?
00:04:31( chuckles )
00:04:33Anyway, I just popped into their project meeting.
00:04:36The vibe was pretty hostile.
00:04:38Why haven't you told me?
00:04:40Well, it's a work in progress.
00:04:42- Donna. - ( sighs ) I know.
00:04:44Cam isn't comfortable with the guys yet, and I'm working on it.
00:04:48- How are you working on it? - Well--
00:04:50My point is, we should be working on it.
00:04:52If there are issues, we need to air them out.
00:04:54Otherwise resentment festers and the whole thing starts to rot.
00:04:59All right, how about this?
00:05:00We could all go to dinner tonight, have some wine, talk things through.
00:05:04- I do like wine. - Great.
00:05:06But I can't do tonight.
00:05:07I've got tickets to a charity thing, a fundraiser for Save the Bay.
00:05:10- Oh, that sounds-- - Terrible.
00:05:12I was gonna say lovely.
00:05:14My date just cancelled and I have a plus one.
00:05:17I could check with Gordon, see if he could watch the girls tonight.
00:05:20No, um...
00:05:22I was thinking about John Bosworth.
00:05:24Oh.
00:05:27I mean... really?
00:05:30Bosworth: "Man, that ain't no bear. That's my ex-wife."
00:05:33- ( all laugh ) - Grr!
00:05:35You know, there'll be a whole slew of Valley big shots there.
00:05:39It's a great opportunity for John to make some business connections.
00:05:42Sure.
00:05:44But... nobody calls him John.
00:05:50I do.
00:05:53"Never Get Older" playing
00:05:58All right, guys.
00:06:00Guys.
00:06:02- Guys, please, please! - Shh!
00:06:04Bodie: Yo, shut up, kid!
00:06:08All right, I know we've gotten off to a rough start, and I'm sorry about that.
00:06:11That's the understatement of the century.
00:06:12We'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.
00:06:18But we're gonna use this as an opportunity.
00:06:20Now, I know we've had some success flowcharting the two systems.
00:06:24How are we doing with our organizational training objectives?
00:06:26Oh, you mean the buddy system?
00:06:29It's a nightmare trying to train these jokers.
00:06:31All they want to do is bitch about C++.
00:06:34( robotic voice ) C++.
00:06:36He 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.
00:06:47Shut up, shut up, shut up!
00:06:49Bodie: He's not even funny.
00:06:50Bodie, stop antagonizing him, okay?
00:06:53- Beep-boop-beep. - Get out of my face!
00:06:55- Hey! - Whoa, whoa!
00:06:57Let's kill these a-holes!
00:06:59- Calm down! - All: Oh!
00:07:01Oh, shit. You okay?
00:07:07Everyone, sit down.
00:07:15What the f--?
00:07:16( theme music playing )
00:07:50You see? It is just so charming.
00:07:53It has all the original molding.
00:07:55And all the original mold.
00:07:57And the backyard is adorable. It's perfect for barbecues.
00:08:01Oh, did you hear that?
00:08:06Okay, why don't I give you and your, uh, friend a minute to talk?
00:08:11Thanks.
00:08:15She thinks we're a couple.
00:08:16You're not my type.
00:08:18Yeah, this place has character.
00:08:20This isn't a generic box.
00:08:22No, the Mutiny house had character.
00:08:24This place is just quaint.
00:08:27You've hated every place we've seen.
00:08:29So? I'm picky.
00:08:31And nothing feels right.
00:08:34Is this about the house or is this something else?
00:08:37It's Thing One and Thing Two.
00:08:41God, I can't stand them.
00:08:43Especially the bigger Thing, this arrogant frat boy.
00:08:47( whines )
00:08:49The smaller Thing's not so bad.
00:08:50You know their names.
00:08:52Yes, Tweedledee and Tweedledum.
00:08:53Heckle and Jeckle. Frick and Frack.
00:08:55I get it. But they want to be useful.
00:08:58By what? Translating everything into C++?
00:09:00Donna, if I knew that was the plan, I wouldn't have signed on.
00:09:04But we did sign on.
00:09:06The guys are under a two-year contract with a piece of the company. We married them.
00:09:09We 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?
00:09:19That's a horrible idea. Who suggested that?
00:09:22I did.
00:09:23Oh, great.
00:09:25And so now you're just informing me.
00:09:27See? It already feels like home.
00:09:33MacMillan Utility was always intended to be a jumping-off point.
00:09:36Totally. It's all about transformation.
00:09:39Many companies start doing one thing and then change direction.
00:09:42If we can just find the right vector.
00:09:44Ryan: Then our freeware can stay free.
00:09:47Router tech is promising.
00:09:49Ah, Cisco's already way ahead on that one.
00:09:51Uh, 3-D graphics. Uh, AI.
00:09:55- 5th gen systems. - It's a billion-dollar road to nowhere.
00:09:57I give it a year.
00:09:59Fairchild made cameras. Now they make semiconductors.
00:10:01Coleco was the Connecticut Leather Company.
00:10:04Now they make video games.
00:10:05Yeah, 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.
00:10:14Now.
00:10:16Please.
00:10:18Shh.
00:10:28Uh... okay.
00:10:30Let's circle the five best ideas.
00:10:41Wait, what-- what are you doing, man?
00:10:43We spent weeks on that.
00:10:45There's some good stuff there.
00:10:50Good is the enemy of great.
00:10:52If anything's worth pursuing, we'll remember it tomorrow.

00:11:50I mean, we all want the same thing, right?
00:11:56Yeah.
00:12:00Maybe we... got into this too quickly, but, yeah, let's-- we're in it now, so...
00:12:06If 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.
00:12:17What's your deal?
00:12:19Why do you have such a hard time playing with others?

00:12:42What's wrong?
00:12:43Nothing, just-- sorry to call you at work.
00:12:45I wanted to let you know your mom...
00:12:47What?
00:12:49Your mom and I are selling the house.
00:12:51Bought a little condo outside of Miami.
00:12:53We gotta get rid of all that crap in the garage.
00:12:56Do-- do you want your dad's stuff?
00:12:59Your mom saved it for you, but, you know, Miami.
00:13:03We're gonna sell everything that's left over 4th of July weekend.
00:13:06I was hoping you might come and take a look,
00:13:07say hello to your mother.
00:13:09It's not like it used to be.
00:13:12She's much better now.
00:13:14Oh, uh... then why didn't she call?
00:13:20I hope you're doing well out there.
00:13:22I'll let your mom know that we talked.
00:13:24( line clicks, dial tone )
00:13:30( indistinct arguing )
00:13:35Craig: You need to apologize.
00:13:37All you have to do is say, "I'm sorry," that's it.
00:13:39How many times have I gotta try?
00:13:41- God. - Wait, Doug!
00:13:49( door opens, closes )
00:13:59Hey, what was that about?
00:14:01Oh.
00:14:03Oh, just the usual ups and downs of a magical partnership.
00:14:08You're here late.
00:14:10But then you're probably always here late.
00:14:14Are you implying that I don't have a life?
00:14:17Yes.
00:14:23You could say that Doug and I have different styles.
00:14:27No shit.
00:14:29He just walked into my office and called me a bitch.
00:14:31( sighs )
00:14:35I am so sorry.
00:14:37Look, we're really excited to be part of Mutiny.
00:14:42It's just SwapMeet was our baby.
00:14:46I think Doug still feels down about having to sell.
00:14:49But that's no excuse.
00:14:58You want to see something cool?
00:14:59Is it a dead body?
00:15:03Only if Doug's still here.
00:15:11You sure this is okay?
00:15:13He won't mind.
00:15:35Can I ask you something?
00:15:39Okay.
00:15:41Why won't you change that original block of PL/M?
00:15:48It's the only piece left that I wrote by myself.
00:15:54Alone in my bedroom, just me.
00:15:58Back when this whole place was just me.
00:16:02I did all the timings by hand,
00:16:04I checked the status on every buffer
00:16:06and every keystroke every time, all with check loops.
00:16:11It was fast and it was...
00:16:13Beautiful.
00:16:16It is beautiful.
00:16:26Yeah.
00:16:29And what do you want me to say?
00:16:30I-- I'm proud of this place.
00:16:34But back then, it was this secret.
00:16:38It was all mine.
00:16:45Then we should leave it alone.
00:17:03Ah.
00:17:10( sighs )
00:17:12Just got the weirdest phone call.
00:17:15My stepfather.
00:17:17I guess he and my mom are moving to Florida.
00:17:23They're selling all my dad's stuff.
00:17:28He died when I was nine.
00:17:31Shit.
00:17:34I'm sorry to hear that.
00:17:37Just he had this motorcycle... an old Panhead Harley.
00:17:45Oh, he used to ride me to school on it.
00:17:50I'd show up to kindergarten with this, like, gigantic helmet.
00:17:54I'm sure it looked ridiculous, but it was-- it just felt so...
00:18:07You should go get the bike.
00:18:22Have you ever considered a solo business venture?
00:18:24( soft laugh )
00:18:30- ( gunshots ) - ( quacking )
00:18:34( game chiming )
00:18:39Hmm.
00:18:41Wasn't the Nintendo system supposed to be for Joanie?
00:18:44- ( gunshots ) - No, it was a family present.
00:18:49Anyways, I had to unwind after that brawl today.
00:18:54I honestly don't know what to do about those guys.
00:18:56Cardiff had its challenges, but no one ever punched me in the ear.
00:19:01Yeah, well, you're not at Cardiff anymore.
00:19:04( gunshots )
00:19:09There's your answer.
00:19:10Just take the guys out back and shoot 'em.
00:19:13( quacking )
00:19:21( chimes )
00:19:25Bosworth: Well, he comes around the side of the trailer,
00:19:27and he goes, "Man, that ain't a bear.
00:19:29That's your ex-wife."
00:19:30- Grr! - ( laughing )
00:19:33See? Thank you, thank you.
00:19:36( coughs ) Man, it was crazy, man.
00:19:40And I don't know how long she stayed there.
00:19:42She was there all night,
00:19:44just sort of frozen in place.
00:19:45Grr! The poor bastard...
00:19:48( woman giggles, screams )
00:19:50( continues indistinctly )
00:19:52- ( music playing ) - ( chattering )
00:20:01Don't move.
00:20:11Joe MacMillan.
00:20:14Of course.
00:20:16Diane Gould.
00:20:18Funny that we've never officially met.
00:20:21But I'm certainly aware of you.
00:20:23Amador Gould Gilson. I admire your business model.
00:20:26Small, intelligent investment portfolio.
00:20:30I guess you could call that boutique.
00:20:31Well, size isn't everything, right?
00:20:36I hear you facilitated the SwapMeet acquisition at Mutiny.
00:20:40Congrats.
00:20:41We're very excited about it.
00:20:43I'm surprised Cameron Howe wanted to play ball with another company.
00:20:46She must be in a good place.
00:20:49Excuse me. Can I, um--
00:20:52- can I borrow you for a sec? - Yeah.
00:20:54It's great to finally meet you.
00:20:56Mm, you as well.
00:21:06( whooping, giggling )
00:21:09- ( music continues ) - ( chatter )
00:21:14How do I get one of these?
00:21:16Uh, make more money.
00:21:19Which brings us to our little problem.
00:21:22You heard of this individual, Topher Erickson?
00:21:24Does not ring a bell.
00:21:26His father's Cal Erickson, senior vice president of General Atomics.
00:21:29Okay.
00:21:31Well, apparently he was at one of your parties and indulged in a copious amount of cocaine.
00:21:38Mm-hmm.
00:21:39And then grabbed someone and went off on a little joyride in the brand-new Ferrari his father procured for his 18th birthday.
00:21:44What kind of jerk spends 60 grand and buys Italian?
00:21:47Yeah, well, this particular jerk funds about a quarter of your business.
00:21:51Hmm, okay.
00:21:53And it's boring old contractor clients like that that float your little software experiments.
00:21:58I'm gonna mingle.
00:22:00Set something up. I'll do damage control.
00:22:02Good.
00:22:04- Hi there. - Mm.
00:22:07Friendly fella.
00:22:09Well, we can't all have your Southern charm.
00:22:13I want to thank you for calling me when my grandson was born.
00:22:18That was you, right?
00:22:19Mm-hmm.
00:22:21Oh, sure. Joe MacMillan, man of mystery.
00:22:25Yeah, it's always good to hear from an old... friend.
00:22:29Well, you seem to be doing just fine making new friends.
00:22:32Oh, Miss Gould is just a business associate.
00:22:34Oh, no, I mean everyone here.
00:22:36They're lapping you up.
00:22:38It's a good call, playing up the Texas thing.
00:22:39People love a performance.
00:22:41It looks like you're in a performance of your own, huh?
00:22:43More of a one-man show kind of thing.
00:22:45Yeah, I'm a regular Spalding Gray.
00:22:52I left someone hanging.
00:22:53Be well.
00:23:01Oh, good, you're still here.
00:23:03I was worried you got kidnapped by that old pal Joe MacMillan.
00:23:10- Can I top you off? - Yes, please.
00:23:22You certainly made a splash tonight.
00:23:24How so?
00:23:28You're the life of the party.
00:23:30Everybody loves you.
00:23:34Between you and me, I told Donna
00:23:37I was inviting you for business.
00:23:39But really, I just didn't feel like flying solo, you know, under the circumstances?
00:23:44Glad I could be of service.
00:23:46Isn't that crazy?
00:23:48That you can build a life with someone, raise kids, spend your 20s, your 30s, half your damn 40s together,
00:23:55and in the end feel nothing?
00:23:59How is that possible?
00:24:01I don't know.
00:24:03Would you like a cigarette?
00:24:05No.
00:24:07No, I'm good.
00:24:10Somewhere along the line, I lost my taste for tobacco.
00:24:13And champagne.
00:24:15Parties.
00:24:28I told my lawyer I didn't want to fly up here and bail Topher out right away.
00:24:32Let him cool his heels for a while, reflect upon his actions.
00:24:35Plus, SF's not my cup of tea.
00:24:38It must be hard to leave La Jolla.
00:24:39I love Del Mar. It's got the perfect mix of sand bottom beach breaks and patchy reefs.
00:24:45It's, uh-- it's very easy to find a wave you can call your own.
00:24:50I've always envied surfers.
00:24:51We do a little naval work out at Coronado Island.
00:24:54- Mm. - Those bastards offshore
00:24:56look 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.
00:25:07Just moving a bunch of electronic boxes around.
00:25:09- Mm. - System's so damn clunky,
00:25:10they're gonna overhaul the whole thing.
00:25:12Ken: Ugh, sounds like a pain in the ass.
00:25:13You know what you should do?
00:25:15You should take a page from those carefree bastards and you should catch a wave, huh? Clear your mind.
00:25:21Joe's got a great instructor down your way.
00:25:25She's, uh-- she's amazing.
00:25:27And guess what, her name-- it's, uh-- her name is Sandy.
00:25:30- ( both laugh ) - Sandy.
00:25:31- Right, Joe. - ( chuckles )
00:25:33That's good. Love to meet her.
00:25:39Look, I know I'm being managed here.
00:25:42Glenfiddich goes down nice, but it doesn't wipe away the taste of that phone call from those cops.
00:25:46Topher's still a teenager. We don't let our boy run wild.
00:25:49Cal, I was very troubled when I heard what happened to your son.
00:25:53I had no idea there were minors in my home or narcotics, and in no universe would I approve of that.
00:26:03All right.
00:26:05You seem like a decent man.
00:26:07Not some 'Frisco nutjob.
00:26:09I'll submit a detailed report to the big boss, i.e., my wife, and, uh, that should clear things up.
00:26:16Might not mention Sandy to her, though.
00:26:20Nothing like a girl in a wet suit, am I right?
00:26:22You sure are. Although, I prefer a bikini.
00:26:24Yeah.
00:26:26Some of our business associates in SF, they're a little funny, if you catch my drift.
00:26:33Soft handshakes.
00:26:35Hell, maybe we'll get lucky and all the faggots will catch that special flu that's going around.
00:26:40As long as my son stays away from it.
00:26:42But, uh, got plenty of time to whip him into shape.
00:26:44Like I said, he's still a kid.
00:26:46All right, gentlemen, it's that time.
00:26:49All right. Yes, sir.
00:26:52Hey, watch it, man.
00:26:54Do you know, I wouldn't worry about your son.
00:26:56He'll find his path when he gets away from you.
00:26:59But I feel sorry for your wife.
00:27:01She has to lie there taking it, wondering what the hell she did to have your stinking breath in her face.
00:27:07Or, wait, maybe I was wrong.
00:27:11Maybe the big boss isn't the one taking it.
00:27:14Hey, Jesus Christ, Joe.
00:27:16We had the son of a bitch locked and you had to--
00:27:18Had to what?
00:27:19We sell security software to the government.
00:27:23Hey, wait. Come on, hey!
00:27:35Hey.
00:27:36Hey.
00:27:38It was great hanging out with you last night.
00:27:42Mm-hmm.
00:27:44( keyboard clacking )
00:27:50- Can I just-- - Uh, yeah.
00:28:07Sure.
00:28:09Cool.
00:28:11I'll let you get back to work.
00:28:19( groans )
00:28:26I heard you two had a good conversation last night.
00:28:28Uh, yeah.
00:28:31I decided to, uh, keep the SwapMeet code as it is and translate some of Mutiny into C++ to bridge the interface.
00:28:37Really? That's great.
00:28:38The guys are gonna be thrilled.
00:28:39And I think we should fire them.
00:28:44What? Why?
00:28:47Do you have an actual, you know, reason we can give Diane, since she's the one who's gonna have to pay for it?
00:28:52Yes.
00:28:55We don't need them.
00:28:58Well, the dinner is tonight.
00:28:59If you really want to fire the guys, then you can tell Diane yourself.
00:29:05"You Make Me Wanna Dance" playing in background
00:29:06Oh, no! They have three-player "Yeti Mountain Mission"?
00:29:10Race!
00:29:11No, no, no, no, no. No video games.
00:29:13We're here to coalesce as a group.
00:29:15- What? - So line up by "heighth."
00:29:16- What? - "Heighth"?
00:29:18Height. Line up by height. How tall you are.
00:29:20- ( laughing ) - Height.
00:29:23So you're gonna be at the end.
00:29:24You're at this end over here.
00:29:26- Hey, does hair count? - Yes, hair counts.
00:29:28Down here at the end.
00:29:30Arki, you're in the center. Lev, you're there.
00:29:32Wonderboy, down at the end.
00:29:33Come on, guys.
00:29:35Bodie: Yeah, Wonderboy.
00:29:37All 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.
00:29:56And you will deliver them behind enemy lines in France to undertake a mission of sabotage that could change the course of the war.
00:30:05Okay, Lee Marvin, but don't most of the guys in that movie eat it?
00:30:07By the end, is it more like the "Dirty Deuce"?
00:30:09I'll show you a Dirty Deuce, Bodie.
00:30:11It's a metaphor.
00:30:13Actually, it's more of an allegory.
00:30:15Uh, pipe down, Smurfette.
00:30:16An allegory is a metaphor.
00:30:17F you, semen.
00:30:19Semen? Did she just call me semen?
00:30:21- Man on P.A.: It's time for the next battle! - ( feedback squeals )
00:30:23God.
00:30:25Players, follow me for instruction in the rules of honorable play.
00:30:30Bodie: You need to turn down your toys.
00:30:32Come on, guys. Let's see a little bit of that Apache know-how.
00:30:34( growls )
00:30:35( guns blasting )
00:30:38- Cover me, cover me! - ( coders shouting )
00:30:40There he is, there he is!
00:30:42- Buckle up, big man. - Shit!
00:30:46( shouting indistinctly )
00:30:50Guys, don't just stand around. Fight back!
00:30:53I'm out, I'm done. Screw you, asshole.
00:30:56All right, guys, green team, gather around, gather around.
00:30:59All right, look, focus, okay?
00:31:01Guard the base. Get each other's backs, all right?
00:31:03Is this thing even on?
00:31:05Bodie, get down. You're in the line of fire!
00:31:07Wonderboy, get that out of your mouth.
00:31:09Come on, man, get your head in the game.
00:31:11( blasting )
00:31:13Hey, guys, check it out. If you just cover this thing, you can't get hit.
00:31:16There must be a way to disengage the entire system.
00:31:18What a bunch of pussies.
00:31:19That'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!
00:31:26We're all gonna die!
00:31:28It's Judgment Day, sinners!
00:31:30- ( shouting ) - Coder: Dodged a shot.

00:32:40Three weeks?
00:32:42That's much sooner than we expected, right?
00:32:45Oh, I just wish--
00:32:47Let it go. She's not coming.
00:32:49( sighs )
00:32:51I thought you two had a good conversation.
00:32:53Yeah, I thought so, too.
00:32:55We have so much respect for Cam and what you guys have built together.
00:32:58It sounds nice and all, but the real question is can you work with her?
00:33:01- Definitely. - Of course.
00:33:03We just get the feeling she can't work with us.
00:33:05You know?
00:33:07Are we ready to go ahead and order?

00:33:48It's not your fault.
00:33:49Can we have the check, please?
00:33:51I just think if Cam doesn't want to work with the guys, she should have the courage to deal with it face-to-face.
00:33:57No, I know.
00:33:58Look, I wanted her to tell you, but since she's not here...
00:34:03Cam wants to fire Doug and Craig.
00:34:08Really? That's big.
00:34:09Yeah.
00:34:11Do you agree with her?
00:34:13Well, I-- she's my partner.
00:34:16Personally, I think these guys are a big asset.
00:34:20But your relationship with Cameron
00:34:21is the most important thing.
00:34:23That's what I'm investing in.
00:34:26If working with Doug and Craig is untenable,
00:34:29Mutiny can pay their earn-out early and send 'em home.
00:34:33But you just said that they're a big asset.
00:34:35I wouldn't be happy about it, but it's better than forcing something toxic.
00:34:41I just hope it's the guys who are the problem.
00:34:46So, how's the team-building coming?
00:34:48Well, surprisingly productive.
00:34:50Although 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.
00:34:58It's stupid fun.
00:34:59No, I just came by 'cause I-- well, 'cause I said I would.
00:35:05Well, look at you, Mr. Nice Guy.
00:35:08Mr. Nice Guy?
00:35:10Back at Cardiff, you were the heavy SVP of Sales.
00:35:14All those multimillion-dollar accounts, everybody was scared shitless of you.
00:35:18You know, including myself.
00:35:20But now...
00:35:22Now what?
00:35:24Look, I just mean, you know, being the boss sounds good, but this is better.
00:35:30There's minimal responsibility, maximum fun.
00:35:32Which 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.
00:35:45Gordon went full-on kamikaze.
00:35:47He practically murdered the guy.
00:35:50It seemed totally lame at first, but it was actually pretty awesome.
00:35:52Yeah, even she liked it.
00:35:54( all laugh )
00:35:55You should play the next round, man.
00:35:56- You would shred this course. - No.
00:35:58Coders: Come on. Come on.
00:36:00( chanting ) Bos! Bos! Bos!
00:36:06No, I'm good.
00:36:08I said I'm good!
00:36:17Go have another round.
00:36:19Get on in there. You guys enjoy it.
00:36:21- Okay, yeah. - ( overlapping chatter )
00:36:23( all cheering )
00:36:25( guns blasting )
00:36:42( sighs )
00:36:54Cam.
00:36:57What time is it?
00:36:59It's late. You missed the dinner.
00:37:02Oh, my God, Donna, I'm sorry.
00:37:04Jesus, I-- I don't know...
00:37:08I meant to be there. I planned to be there.
00:37:10I don't know what happened.
00:37:11You're overworked, that's what happened.
00:37:12You're exhausted.
00:37:15Um, how was the dinner?
00:37:17Fine.
00:37:20Doug sucked up a lot.
00:37:21God, I hate that guy.
00:37:23I know. But Craig's okay.
00:37:25Yeah.
00:37:28After they left,
00:37:30I told Diane you want to fire them.
00:37:32And?
00:37:37She said no.
00:37:41What do you mean, she said no?
00:37:42They're a part of the deal.
00:37:45They're an important asset and we have to find a way to make it work.
00:37:49( chuckles ) What?
00:37:50I thought she was on our side.
00:37:52She feels it's what's best for the company.
00:38:02Okay.
00:38:04( exhales )
00:38:07Okay, well, thank you for asking. I really appreciate it.
00:38:11Yeah.
00:38:15- I'll see you at home. - Yeah.
00:38:35( door opens, closes )
00:38:49( door opens )
00:38:51Hello?
00:38:54I'm cool to work at night, but your call kind of freaked me out.
00:38:58We lost General Atomics today.
00:39:01They represent 37% of our annual billing.
00:39:05What happened?
00:39:07I traded them for something more valuable.
00:39:11What's this?
00:39:13The log-in credentials for the ARPANET, the Department of Defense packet-switching network.
00:39:18I secured the information through General Atomics.
00:39:20I want you to look into it before they flag that my credentials still work.
00:39:24Okay, but, you know, the ARPANET isn't new tech.
00:39:28It's sort of rusty. It's not like missile codes or fighter plane blueprints.
00:39:32This is-- this is mundane stuff.
00:39:34I do know that. It's antiquated.
00:39:37And that means it's ripe for an upgrade.
00:39:40So what should I do?
00:39:42I 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.
00:40:12Play after I finish the best out of 10.
00:40:16Man, you're like some kind of "Duck Hunt" savant.
00:40:20Does that mean I'm totally deficient in other areas?
00:40:22Like "Duck Hunt" savant, but bad team player.
00:40:27Come on. ( groans )
00:40:29So how's it going with...
00:40:30( German accent ) ...Dick und Doof?
00:40:32Dick und Doof?
00:40:34That's what my grandfather called Laurel and Hardy.
00:40:36Loosely translates to "chubby and dumb."
00:40:38Well, that's perfect, 'cause Doug's the Dick...
00:40:43Und Craig ist Doof.
00:40:44- Ja. - Ja.
00:40:46( both laugh )
00:40:47Ahh!
00:40:51Oh, whatever, though.
00:40:52I guess I'm gonna have to make it work.
00:40:57All right, hope you haven't lost your edge now that you're a peacemaker.
00:41:04Uh, oh, do you want a soda?
00:41:06- Yeah, sure. - Yeah?
00:41:19- Hey. - Jesus!
00:41:21What are you doing?
00:41:22You know, I wanted to tell you something.
00:41:26I've been thinking, and you should stay here as long as you want.
00:41:31You can take your time finding a place.
00:41:41( "Duck Hunt" continues in background )
00:41:56Oh, thanks. Yes!
00:42:00All right, all you.
00:42:04Can I ask you a question?
00:42:09When did you know you were losing Cardiff?
00:42:17( gunshot echoes )
00:42:21( music playing )
