Previously, on
"Super Pumped"...

Boom! You just got Greyballed,
motherfucker!

I-Is this legal?

Are you an asshole?

We wouldn't even
be here tonight

If it wasn't for
Olivia Lungociu.

What if we gave her
a taste of her own medicine?

Spend a million dollars
to dig into her?

How could you, Emil?

I'm the one
who put you in here.

I'm the one who can
take you out too.

- What's going on?
- I yelled.

Travis, you can't do that.

Yeah, I know. I know.

I don't know what
the fuck's wrong with me.

I don't know why I keep
doing that.

Sometimes to get what you want,

You got to give
what you want.

There's no driver.

We doing this?

We sure as fuck are, man.

Google rang me up.

It's not good.
They're suing over Levandowski.

You need to publish
this video.

The world needs to see it.

*SUPER PUMPED THE BATTLE FOR UBER *
Season 01 Episode 16

Episode Title: "Delete Uber"
Aired on: April 03, 2022.

Hello, everyone.

I understand Mr. Kalanick
is unable to join,

but we know everything,

And we have it all in here.

So let's begin.

"Force of Nature"
by Pearl Jam plays

Understand she's a force
of nature

Contraband hiding deep
inside her soul

Exercising her will
to lose control

These are just
and reasonable demands

Of righteous people.

A man considers himself small

Right up until the moment
he bigs up.

Atlas-style, Greek Titan,
bodybuilder.

Both motherfuckers apply.

Inspiration from the back
of a comic book

Is not far off
in this particular case.

Can you believe this asshole?

The case of Dan O'Sullivan.

Chicago nobody
versus the world.

...so much
unrealized potential.

This American carnage
stops right here

And stops right now.

Maybe we should turn this off,
you know,

Keep politics out of the office,
like they said?

CEO is on Trump's
economic council.

He brought politics
to the office

and dumped them
like a colostomy bag

right in the middle
of the office.

You're obsessed, man.
And a little gross.

Pretty sure we're all
obsessed, or should be.

You didn't get enough blow back
from your company-wide email

About TK
signing on with Trump?

I mean, that had to get HR
all up in your face.

My face is fine.

You told me you got called
into the office...

I said it went fine.
Travis is sucking the ass

Of a fake fucking
billionaire.

Worry about what's ending up
on his face,

And I'll worry
about him firing me.

We've got to turn
this sentiment around.

No. I don't believe that.

I don't see it. That's not fair.

It's also wrong, by the way.
But mostly it's unfair.

You agreed to let us do
our thing and then report back.

- You agreed.
- I changed my mind.

- And I'm glad I did.
- We're not doing this

With you here,
that's why it's an off site.

Uber is not paying you
to collect all of my bad press

like some pissed-off girlfriend
scrolling through our texts

Trying to find the first time
I was mean to her.

Actually, that's exactly
what they want, because this...

Well, this says that people
don't like you.

It says that you are
one dumb choice away

from being a punchline
buried in the third graph

Of a late-night monologue.

And who is "they"
in your construct?

I'm Uber, 'kay?

And I don't see this.

What I see is a mediocre
comms team that's...

Oh, no.

What are you doing?

What is it?

My girls.

Do it outside.
Don't do it in my house.

- Yeah, this is it, man.
- Heck, yeah.

- Yeah, all right.
- Perfect.

- Thank you.
- Oh, this is really fucked up.

I don't know if you remember me,
you know, old faces, new faces.

2010.

- Thanks for all the work you do.
- You dropped the prices.

I... I didn't drop the prices
on Black.

You can have
the prices you want,

But you choose to give
everybody a ride.

Okay, no, here's the thing
about that.

We can do Lux
in San Francisco.

I got guys working on Lux
right now.

That's gonna be 50 to 70%
more expensive.

But people are not
trusting you anymore.

You think people want to buy
black cars anymore?

Nobody wants
to buy a black car.

I lost $97,000
because of you.

Yes. I'm bankrupt
because of you.

Yes, come on. Yes.
You keep changing every day.

- Hold on. Hold on a second.
- You keep changing every day.

What have I changed about Black?

- You changed the whole business.
- What?

- You dropped the prices.
- That... not on Black.

- No, that's bullshit. That...
- Yes. Yes, you did.

No, I didn't.

We are thrilled
to have you exclusive to Uber.

- Twenty dollars a mile?
- Yeah.

And the price for the rider
stays the same.

We just appreciate
your loyalty.

- That is bullshit. Bullshit!
- We're talking dollars per mile.

- What is the mile now, $2.75?
- You know what?

Some people just can't take
responsibility

- For their own shit.
- I take responsibility.

And they have to blame
everything in their life

- On somebody else.
- You sent an email.

- Come on, you sent an email...
- Good luck.

Good luck to you, but I know

- You're not gonna go far.
- Jesus, turn it off.

This is really bad.
That's really bad.

That's really bad.
Fuck! Fuck! Fuck!

Fuck! What is wrong with me?

It's being picked up by Olivia.
It's on WSJ's site.

Is anyone calling us
for comment?

No.

- That's not good.
- Mnh-mnh.

Uh, Arianna?
Hi, it's, uh, Travis.

Can you call me back?

Um, look, actually,
can you just come get me?

I'm...

Never mind just, uh, call.
Thanks.

This is Bonnie Kalanick.

Please leave me a message,

And I'll get back to you.

Hi, Mom.

Um, can you just
call me back?

I, um... I'm not gonna...

...be able
to make it up to the house.

Things are complicated here.

But if anyone calls you
about a video,

Just hang up and call
Penny or Kelsey, okay?

And don't watch it.

I'm fixing this.

I am.

Some people just don't want
to take responsibility.

I take responsibility.
You sent an email.

They gotta blame everything
in their life on somebody else.

- Bill.
- We have a problem.

Yes. We do.

I just spoke with Travis.

He needs our support
with that bogus video

of him and the driver.

Can I count on the board?

Well, I appreciate you
reaching out

To get ourselves
aligned on this.

This is a-a bad situation

On top of a lot
of bad choices, Arianna.

He's surrounded
by the wrong people.

Well, I'd love to,

but we make the wrong move
in response,

It's gonna look
like panic.

It was lovely
to chat with you.

I'm confident we will
find a solution.

No, ma'am.

It's always my pleasure
speaking with you on the phone.

This video is data.

And you're the data guy, right?

So tell me where the lie is.

Now tell me, what part
of what you said isn't true?

You can't, can you?

- No.
- No.

And what's our valuation
right now?

Sixty-nine billion.

What was it when you started
with Ryan and Garrett?

- One point six million.
- It was.

That's one point six.

That's a dick lint number.

And who did that?

Which guy on the screen?

That guy wouldn't have a job
if it weren't for that guy.

Okay?

You didn't tell him
to make the choices he made.

You gave him opportunity.

The most American thing ever.

Fly the flag,
salute the fireworks,

Baseball and hot dogs.

That's you.

Apple fucking pie, right?

And we don't outsource
the work either.

I'm not Tim fucking Cook,
sending jobs off to China.

And we're a global brand.

But we create jobs locally,
globally.

Damn fucking straight.

Fuck what people
say about you.

The only things that count
are revenue and riders.

We got to get Levandowski to get
us those driver less cars sooner.

What'd he say it's gonna be?

- Two years.
- Yeah, no.

You gotta tell him 18 months.
That is what we need.

Driver less cars in 18 months.
It's cheaper. It's faster.

It's safer.

Cutting edge, man.

No more of these wars
with fucking drivers.

Hey, we're gonna get you
through this.

And then you're gonna keep
changing the world.

Yeah. Hell, yeah.

What?

"Are you okay?"

"I'm so sorry
you're going through this."

"He's an asshole."
I've got a lot of those.

A lot of "Dump his ass," too.

People asking me if it was
taken before we met,

Which of course,
they know it wasn't.

They just, I don't know,
want me to make them feel like

they can comfort
the sad girl

Who was stupid enough
to believe you.

People are mad at me
'cause of the video,

And they're taking it out
on you. That's all.

No, they saw you
in the back of a car

with a couple of miniskirts
and heels,

And they think that
you're cheating on me.

But you know it's not that.
It's just I need to be seen...

That's the problem.

You think that you need
to be seen.

You know, my uncle used
to watch these infomercials,

This real estate scam course.

"How to Make Money Now."
This guy named Tom Vu.

He always had six bikini models
either side of him on a yacht.

Uncle lost a lot of money
to that scammer.

And I laughed at him.

And now I am living with Tom Vu,
and everybody else...

- What...
- ...is laughing at me.

What do you want me to say?

I want you to give me

Some sort of reason to stay.

'Cause being with you

Is making me feel
ugly and awful.

Sorry, just...

Fuck.

Forget it.

I'm moving out in the morning.

You're gonna move out on me

in the middle of the worst
crisis of my career

Because of a video with me
and some fully clothed women?

I'm sorry, it's just sometimes
it's so clear that you're 24.

Gabi dumped me.

What's the plan for Uber?

I want to bring someone in
to help with culture.

You just said "culture"
without making a face.

Yeah, I made it on the inside.

You want me to do it?

You said you would before.

You know me.

You know how to fix things
without making them worse.

I just need a list
of shit to do,

and then I'll do that shit,

And then people can stop
freaking out.

Maybe start with not yelling
at your drivers,

Especially the ones
with dashcams.

That's what you got for me?

If I come,
it has to be real.

You pay me as a consultant,
and you give me complete access.

You take the changes seriously.

Nah, it's a dumb idea.

You investigating me?
Be too weird.

You like me too much.

Yeah, you're probably right.

I'll stick with the bio tech
cancer drug thing.

Not a good idea for the CEO
to take time off

To investigate another company.

You good, though?

I want you to be good.

I'd be better
if you made me whole.

Why don't you just give me
a fucking number,

So we can stop
having this conversation?

A hundred million.

There.

Now you have a number.

Okay.

Let me see
what I can figure out.

Nothing to figure.

We both know what I contributed
is worth way more than that.

Meanwhile, hire someone.

Do something to take back
control of the narrative

Before it eats you.

We just need to pull Uber
over to pit row,

Get it fixed up,
back out there fast.

We do this internally.
We do it this weekend.

Any attempt to self-diagnose
will be met with ridicule.

By everybody, myself included.

We need... someone trustworthy
to come in.

You're on board?

Only if Travis agrees to listen
to every recommendation.

Wait, hold on.

Is this investigation
theater or for real?

Amateurs love the profits,
hate the process.

We need a new story.

We need you guys
to get it out there

that we're taking this
seriously,

and we're making changes.

I feel like I'm going crazy.

Are we taking this seriously
and making changes?

Yes. Legit. We need somebody
with gravitas.

That is how strongly
I believe in this, okay?

Now when you were
at the White House,

Who scared the shit out of you
that wasn't named Obama?

Eric Holder.

There you go. Perfect.

- Get him. He's a lawyer, right?
- No, no, no.

That guy's a laser-focused
wrecking ball, Travis.

Exactly. People know his name.
He inspires fear.

Are you telling me
that you can't sell

"Uber investigated
by Eric Holder" to the press?

We can sell it.

It's just once you put
a force like this in motion,

It might not go
the way you think.

Oh, not worried about that.

I can work him.

I can! He should be here
and hired already.

Come on. Let's fix this.

Percussive beat

I'm establishing
new vetting measures

to keep radical
Islamic terrorists

Out of the United States
of America.

We don't want them here.

All the cabs are refusing
to work and our app shows

at minimum 60-minute wait

For JFK Terminals
three through six.

Surge pricing is at
four times the normal cost.

At some point
people will just take...

What? The train?

Have you ever taken a train
to JFK?

No. Nobody has.

How many rides you think
we're losing to this?

Turn off surge pricing.

Push "notify everyone
in the area."

We stand with our passengers.

Our man, Dan.

This particular
Chicago-based punk

is about to scream
"I want to be anarchy"

Right into Uber's face.

It's one man
and a motherfucking microphone.

And in this case,

That microphone is Twitter.

Guy hits send.

Guy thinks nothing'll happen.

What good can
140 characters do?

But sometimes...

Sometimes this shit
hits like nitrate.

Just the right thing
at just the right time.

Who the hell told them to stop
surge pricing in New York?

Okay, you seem a little bit...

I seem what? Furious?

Because in the face
of the Muslim ban,

which affects taxi drivers,
and, yes, our drivers,

Someone in New York ops
decided to play strikebreaker?

No one broke any strikes.
That's not what happened.

Did you fucking authorize
dropping the surge pricing?

Maybe you or someone else

thought it might seem
magnanimous

not to charge people more.

But if you thought about it
for one fucking second...

I didn't authorize shit.

I didn't send the tweet.

Okay, then fire
whoever the fuck did.

So we should be gouging people?

We should be profiting
off this protest?

To avoid being racist, yeah.

Wasn't this just Uber
offering people a way to support

the striking taxi drivers

So they wouldn't have to cross
a protest line?

Don't spin me.

The company took
the opportunity to book rides.

You don't fucking think,
Travis.

I'm gonna treat you
like a driver right now.

Like one of those drivers
that I signed

By telling them how to go about
making their lives better.

And I'm gonna tell you
what's fucking best for you

And what's best for the United
fucking States of America.

So now you're speaking
for the whole country.

Exactly. And you need
to actually take responsibility.

More than running my company?

Quit the president's
economic council.

Distance yourself.

The majority of our drivers
are immigrants,

Not just in this country,
which you know.

You just went viral
for berating one.

Okay, look, you don't like
the president.

Guess what? Neither do I.

The difference is,
you're gonna complain about it.

I'm gonna walk
into the White House

And have influence,
and protect what we built.

What you're doing
is dicking around.

You need to start listening
to the people here.

You know, the people that helped
you build this company.

Because the people here,
they hate him.

And they are starting
to really hate you.

Vocalist sings indistinctly

Eric Himpton Holder, Jr.

First Black attorney general
of these United States,

shoulder to shoulder
with B. Hussein Obama

Through the best
and worst of it.

But if you think
he's riding shotgun

For one side or the other,
no, sir.

This gentleman was first made
a federal judge

By none other than
handsome Ron Reagan himself.

And, no, I ain't gonna swear
in front of him

Because I have respect.

Maybe even a little fear.

And so should you.

Mr. Holder.

Mr. Kalanick.

How's San Francisco
treating you?

You know what?

We have got to get you
in to Arianna and Robin.

Actually, you let me know
what you want to eat.

I'll make the calls.

Travis, we will talk
at the end of this process.

Before that, if you see me,

Say hi, and that's it.

I don't work for you.

You are not my client.

Uber is my client.

That's one and the same.

See, now, that's why
we shouldn't be talking,

because you might
say something like that,

And then I might
have to write it down.

For this to work, you can have
no control over what I find out.

You let me know
about those reservations.

President Trump's travel

and immigration crackdown

on people from the seven
Muslim-majority countries

has caused chaos
and confusion...

Fuck this fucking company
and its absolute bullshittery.

Fuck all of you.

We've got trouble.

Right here in River City.

My mom likes Music Man.
Sorry, go.

The Levandowski mess.

We tried to fend off the lawsuit
over Levandowski and his tech.

Google is not interested
in talking.

Talking meaning settlement.

They want to go to court.

We need to cut
Levandowski loose.

Half the shit that Google uses

Is stuff they're accused
of stealing.

They do it all the time.
Just keep doing it

'Cause they're Google,
they're a monolith.

But... isn't Uber the fucking
monolith now?

Why should I have to cower?

Why is Larry Page up my ass
about this thing?

You know, another
time, another situation,

maybe we ask that question,

But right now
you're grappling with bad press.

Page knows it,
and he's taking advantage.

So it's my fault?

Mm.
Fault is for after.

Right now we need action.

Specifically,

we need you
to fire Levandowski,

make Page think
he's gotten to us.

Maybe he calms down.

You do that, you throw away
the future of the company.

Well, if it makes you feel
any better,

Levandowski's technology's
been burned.

Nobody gets it,
including and especially Lyft.

Does that make you feel
any better?

No, none of this is good.

It's what you call triage,
Travis.

You're the guy
dying of liver failure.

I'm the guy trying to help you
kick the bottle.

Okay, if the smell of death
is in the air,

It's not wafting off of me.

I'm alive and doing the thing.

I brought in Holder.
I'm solving this.

Let's give him a week
to finish his work, right?

I'd really like Holder's report
to say that you saw a problem

and you fixed it,
not that you saw a problem

And you waited
for it to go away.

It's a big difference.

I shouldn't have said yes
to this.

The only thing
standing between us

And total domination
is the fucking drivers, man.

We replace them,
we own transportation.

Keep Levandowski,

We all get sucked into
this lawsuit like a black hole.

Yeah.

End of game.

I can't.

What?

I care too much.

You know me, man.
I'll get out there,

I'll convince him
we should keep fighting.

You do it.

Yeah.

This is Bonnie Kalanick.

Please leave me a message
and I'll get back to you.

Thanks.

Self-driving mode deactivated.

- Hey, man...
- Test vehicle in standby.

TK couldn't nut up, huh?

He hates this.

He really does.

Yeah.

Clearly.

You didn't even cover
your tracks.

When you take a dump

on your ex-girlfriend's lawn,

You want her to know it was you,
not the Great Dane next door.

Okay, well,
I don't do that.

We all do that.

In one way or another.

So if you're looking for me
to throw myself

On the mercy of the whatever
the hell you are, no, thanks.

You're gonna turn
the money spout off

And lose your only shot
at driver less cars.

We are.

How the hell can I steal
something I created?

That's lawyer bullshit.

That's not laws of nature.

These fucking people,

holding me and Travis
to this standard,

like we're average,

Like those standards apply.

People like me and TK,

we have the ability
to make the world better,

and applying
conventional morality

To the world's most
brilliant minds is insanity.

They don't deserve you.

But we can't keep you.

Tell Travis to get out
of the car next time.

- It's done?
- Yeah.

He gets it.

Great, so now we just
have to deal

with fucking drivers
for the next decade

Till someone else figures out
the final solution.

Just kidding.

Dude, I'm kidding.
Come on, obviously, I'm...

I'm hurting over here.

Jesus.

Can we go?

Hey, guys, I, uh,

I just got a call
from someone at Bloomberg.

He is sourcing a story about
a karaoke bar in South Korea.

What do I need
to get in front of?

Is this the Asia trip?

♪ We come together ♪

♪ So let's touch the sky ♪

♪ Let's touch the sky ♪

Let it take us higher...

I am a golden god!

Of what, exactly?

That's it,
you're buying the drinks.

You're not buying the drinks.
You're using the corporate card.

So I'm buying the drinks
like always, right?

Hey, I want to sing Madonna.

You get to sing
whatever you want to sing.

We get this whole place
to ourselves.

Oh oh oh oh oh

There's a story about me
singing "Drunk in Love"?

You did sing the Beyoncé part.

- Yeah.
- So we're fine.

Unless you want to hear me
sing the harmonies.

Is this a thing?

'Cause this can't be another
story that I get blamed for.

You were with me.

It's not remotely a thing.

Did he ask you to call me?

No, no.

Right, of course.

You okay?

Did you find a place?

Yeah, I think so.

It's, um, a bit far from things,

But it's got a small yard,
so that's...

Great. Great.

Do you, uh, remember
that karaoke night in Seoul?

Hey, I want to sing Madonna.

You can sing anything you want.

We got this whole place
to ourselves.

Okay, everyone. It's time.

Pick a number, any number.

But not 14. She's mine.

What? They, like,
help you sing?

Well, more like they, uh,
make you sing.

Seven.

'Cause she looks like you.

Hey.

Closest you're gonna get.

Ten, thirteen, twelve, eleven.

These are some
of my lucky numbers.

Uh, yeah.
You, you, you and you.

Sure four's probably enough.

Like the hoop earrings.
Glasses are nice.

Babe, you ready?

I'm gonna hang back at the bar
with Sonya and have a drink.

What about it?

Yeah, I only wanted to warn you,
you know, so you're prepared.

And if a reporter
or anyone comes around,

It'll be really cool if you just
let them know nothing happened.

I don't think I can do that.

Yeah, I get that you and,
you know,

Trav are taking a break.

But you don't want to hurt him,
and I know how fragile you are.

I just want to be left
out of all of this, okay?

Can you just not mention me?

It's... it's not up to me.
Come on, let's figure out...

- Please, okay, I...
- ...now, so it's clear.

I'm gonna hang up, all right?
Just, don't...

No, Gab. Gab.

That's not
what I would have done.

Yeah, that's 'cause you
don't do anything.

- You're not an action guy...
- Guys.

The moron has rewritten
the user deletion logic

To batch delete users.

I had to, since there are so
many happening at the same time.

He doesn't understand,
and so I'm here trying to work.

Okay. Tell me why you 911'ed.

Hashtag "delete Uber."
After your bullshit move at JFK.

Yo!

Users are trying to delete
their whole accounts.

- We usually get a dozen a week...
- Not even.

- But we're at...
- A hundred thousand.

Fuck, you guys. Fuck.

And that's not counting
the full app deleters,

Which we won't know
until Apple releases met a data.

We're trending on Twitter.

Steadily going up,

Even after Austin restored
surge pricing.

We need a full engineering team
in here to handle the overload.

Uh, no.

We are frictionless,

but not if you want
to delete us

Just because
of a goddamn hashtag.

Okay, but that friction
will crash the app.

The platform. All of it.
Nobody will be able to ride.

Fuck, you guys.

Fuck!

All right, do it.
Get whoever you need.

What do you think?

A little midnight spin?

Oh.

All that noise,
this late at night?

We'll get stink eye
from everyone on the lake.

Oh, no.

You ready to talk to him?

He's not gonna like
what I have to say.

Hi.

Hey, Mom, you're awake.

That's, uh, good.

I... listen, I...

Things aren't going so well...

- ...and, um...
- Hey, Trav.

The reason I didn't
pick up before

is because this
is the whining time,

And I'm gonna talk to you
in the fixing time.

No, I'm fixing it right now.

So you keep saying.

I am.

I just wanted
to talk it through a lit...

The laundry list of complaints

Can go on my voicemail.

I know what it sounds like

When you actually
take responsibility.

And, um, I'll be here
when that happens.

You...

He mad?

He's fine.

Yeah, he's, uh...

He's working
through his stuff.

Listen, Gabs,

Just call me, okay?

I'm worried about you.

Don't be stupid, Gabs.

I don't want you
to be blindsided.

I'm not even sure
I can stop what's happen...

If you go against me on this,

Stuff about you
is gonna come out.

Hello?

I have to tell you
about something.

Okay.

You should write this down.

Okay.

Um, just hang on.

Uh, don't hang up.
Just hang on.

Okay, I'm ready.

This is about Korea.

Okay.

The other woman at the bar went
to HR, but nothing came of it.

And now Gabi's gonna go
to the press,

And I have no reason
to tell her not to.

She said Travis was...

They left after they had
one drink,

because Gabi didn't want
to go back

into one of those rooms,

Along with the other
female exec.

But the remaining company
personnel didn't...

Mm-mm.

This one falls on Emil.

The second he picked up
that phone to call her.

Intimidation. Coercion.

We keep disarming
land mines,

And he's just out there
creating new ones.

I'm leaving.

And what does talking you
into staying look like?

A time machine
and a bottle of scotch.

Uber's Jurassic Park.

If the T. Rex
doesn't tear you apart,

The New York Times will.

Get everyone you love out

And let's just hope
the dinosaurs eat each other.

Hey.

- Here.
- Oh, thank you.

What's this?

I'm the one
that's in the shit.

I'm the one
fixing the drinks.

I can't argue with that.

Are you sure?

You seem to be in the midst
of one hell of an argument.

I am, with myself.

I did this.

If I didn't,
I sure as hell helped.

I tried to put a goat
in the barn

To keep my thoroughbred calm.

Instead, there was some kind of a
toxic chemical reaction

That happened
between the two of them.

So he needs to be removed.

Emil, he's not your founder.

Excise him with clean margins
like the malignancy he is.

Cut him out.

Don't just sit there
blaming yourself.

You be you and keep trying.

You'll figure it.

He's expecting your call.

- Can we just wait for one minute...?
- No.

No, we can't.
You have a slot, Travis.

We are on his timetable,
not yours.

- Okay.
- Hang on. Hang on. There you go.

- He's on right now?
- No, just give it a minute.

Hey, Mr. President, sir.

I'm very well, thank you.

Listen, I am calling
to let you know

I'll be stepping down
from the economic council.

It was my honor to...

He hung up.

Well, maybe if you're lucky,

this gets reported
as you listening

to your customers
or employees.

Maybe we start to get out
of this tailspin.

I am not optimistic.

You're not... why the fuck did
I just throw away my Face Time

with the president?

The board convenes
this afternoon

In Los Angeles
with Holder.

Hold on, he's done?

And we go to him?

Yeah. They're reading it
at his law firm.

No PDFs. Dead trees only.

Your plane will be ready
in two hours.

Hello, everyone.

I understand Mr. Kalanick
is unable to join.

But we know everything,
and we have it all in here.

So let's begin.

Sexism, lying,
lack of diversity.

These are all bad enough,
but it's only the beginning.

Yeah. Section Two: Driver
violence against passengers.

Section Five: Sexual predation
done by drivers.

Section Six: Sexual predation
in the Uber offices.

This is...

Eric...

What are your
recommendations?

I have them outlined,

And it's not a short list.

Is this the best hospital?

Looks like a dipshit hospital.

It was the closest
trauma center.

I'm gonna make some calls.

Look, they know
what they're doing.

This is the shit
I know about.

Travis?

No, you don't need
to tell me twice.

You were good to come.

I can't believe
she's dead.

She loved you.

She loved you both,
so much.

She always talked about you.
How proud she was.

Sorry, I just need to speak
with Arianna before she leaves.

Hey.

Is your dad...?

Doctors are
cautiously optimistic.

The fuck that means.

Ange, I'm glad to see you,

But you shouldn't
have come.

Whatever he used to be?
Gone.

Those aren't human beings.

Mr. Holder's immediate
recommendations.

Emil?

You okay with this?

At this point,
all we owe him is a heads-up.

And by "we,"
I assume you mean the Board.

No.

Me talking to him doesn't
show you taking responsibility.

This needs to come
from you first.

The Board needs to see you stand
behind Holder's recommendations.

Or?

The Board stops
standing behind you.

You ever fire anyone before?

No one that mattered.

Tell him what the meeting
is about right away.

You're gonna want to make him
feel better, because...

well, despite
your past behavior,

You're not actually
a sociopath.

Make it clean and quick.

Hey, you okay?

Your dad okay?

Yeah, thanks.
You can come in.

So you talked to Gabi
about South Korea.

Well...

She must be pissed if she's
calling you to complain.

No, she didn't call me, dude.
She called someone else.

That's the problem.

Oh...

Fuck.

Off site.

Ten o'clock at night,

Nobody to hear
if I start yelling.

Where is Gurley, hmm?

Skulking with, uh,
Cohler and Fenton

In legal down the hall?

Yeah, something like that.

You're extending me
the courtesy.

It's always a friend
who does it.

The Holder Report

specifically recommends
your removal.

The Board's voting on it
in the morning.

I didn't realize
you could be fired

for asking someone's
ex-girlfriend to tell the truth.

Well, it's not just
South Korea.

I mean,
there is a pattern.

There's India, there's
the fuck up at the Waverly.

I was off
the fucking record!

Do you think I want to be
doing this right now?

To lose you? I don't, okay?

But I cannot let anything
take me down.

Not even you.

If there's something
that could kill Uber,

Then it's my job to remove it.

It's fucking bullshit.

And the sad thing is,

You're gonna want
to talk to me about this.

About everything
that's about to come down.

And I don't know if I'm gonna
pick up the phone.

Jesus.

Fuck, my mom just died.

You're not gonna
pick up the phone?

- Man, fuck you!
- Fuck. Okay, I'm sorry.

Of course. Of course.

Of course, man.

I'm sorry you're
in this situation.

You know what? I'm sorry.

You're always gonna be
Team Uber.

You are.

Always.

Always.

But I got to back
the Board's decision.

You're out.

Best we can hope for
is that he walks away,

stays quiet for a few days.

Mortification
can be a silencer.

Yeah, or he gets angry,

he starts talking about
how I signed off

on all those mistakes,

How he's throwing his body
in front of a bullet.

I'll make sure the Board knows
that you took care of it.

They'll endorse
a leave of absence for you.

How long you been
planning all this?

It's not like that.

It's a leave.
It's not an insurrection.

You just need to go away
for a while.

Let us clean up the mess,
then we'll bring you back in.

I'll make sure that the Board
is clear on the statement

That it's not permanent.

So I'll get to see the press
release before it goes out.

You're gonna come back
stronger, I promise you.

This is the chapter in
your memoir where you reassess.

It's all wins after this.

I'll write the introduction
for you.

Travis back in Fresno?

Far from here, yes.

Leave of absence
starts tonight.

He take it okay?

He took it.

That's all that matters to us.

Can we please gather?

I would like to thank you all

On behalf of the Uber board
for being here.

Our culture has taken ill,

But we've called upon
a great healer.

Let's talk about
our recommendations

from Eric Holder.

I am passionate
about redemption,

which is why I can state
with authority

that Travis is on a path
that will save this company.

And to that end,
he has something to say.

Thank you, Arianna.

The last eight years of my life
has only been about Uber.

Recent events
have brought home for me

that people are more important
than work,

and I need to take some time off
from the day-to-day

to grieve my mother,
to take care of my father,

to work on myself,

And to focus on building out
a world-class leadership team.

I mean, the team we had...

The ultimate responsibility
for where we've gotten

And how we've gotten here
rests on my shoulders.

But if we're gonna work
on Uber 2.0,

I also need to work
on Travis 2.0.

In case this one
was confusing,

Emil Michael has been removed

By unanimous vote
of the Board.

This is just
absolutely brainless.

They fired Himmler to make
Hitler seem less culpable.

You hate working here
that much?

- It's a trade-off.
- You want to do the best work,

The shit nobody else will
let you do, actually disrupt?

Then you gotta work
with people

Who give you enough room
to do that.

- And sometimes they're...
- Assholes.

Yeah.

The next recommendations,

Well, they're all about culture.

Always Be Hustling?

Not anymore.

I'm gonna go
to the bathroom.

There must be balance...

As you can read in my book.

♪ 'Cause I've carried my weight
and I've been a strong man ♪

Yeah, yeah

Listen to the man

♪ Yelling,
"Anybody want a drink ♪

♪ Before the war?" ♪

- Were you followed?
- No.

Turned off my phone
like you asked.

Were you?

So what say we, all of us,
come together,

do our best work,

And get to the next generation
of this great company?

He shouldn't be here.

If you want to launch
the next gen of Uber, Bill,

You have to let me launch
the next gen of Travis.

♪ And you live in a shell ♪

It happens.

Lots of people think they want
to talk until it's time.

I want to talk.

I think the best thing is,
think on it and then call me.

Or don't...

I just want to know that
what I'm doing is the...

I mean, I think I'm doing
the right thing.

But, like,
how do you know?

Hey, no, no. Don't go.

I don't want
to be an asshole.
