Hard Up is going to try to fire me.
Stan, where are we at now? Same buy -in

us 17 % of the company. But Duncan only
owns 20.

Well, I resigned from the board. I need
you on the board. I need that vote.

You said you'd call Nana, clear my name.
And you never called her, so I called

her. You?

1 .2 million dollars?

I should have never blackmailed you. It
should have always been a bribe. There

are men and women who fought for us to
be here.

They want to pay you for your help.

Why don't you tell me what I'm doing
here? How would you like to be interim

I'm proud of you, bastards.

You know the cost. Now earn the ground.

McGuire, you're in the Widowmaker.

Fix bayonets.

Cut them to ribbons, boys.

And if God is watching, he's seen worse
and said nothing.

Let's go!

Get a bayonet, you right in the chest.

You should fall right down.

You're done.

You are dead.

What do you mean, signing a treaty?

There's a war.

Stand to the face. You're dead.

What kind of German machinery?

It's this fucking thing. What is that, a
Cadillac?

Hi.

Sorry. Um, strategy confab at 10 o
'clock.

No? Thank you for fucking up the
Verisimilitude.

Are you playing Wordle? No.

Duncan, what are you doing here?

Just came to talk business and I got you
a little present.

I don't care for business at home. Can
we catch a call?

Oh, come on.

Better money or mono, you know? And just
open it. Open, open, open, open, open,

open, open, open, open.

It's a truffle.

For my favorite truffle pig.

You seem to be taking the news well.

What am I taking well?

Don't you know?

Uh, I don't know what... I don't know.

Carl Bardolph.

He's tapped me to be the CEO.

Fabulous. I mean, CEO of what?

Hypernosis, Duncan.

That's the name of my company.

I didn't ask for the job.

Carl came to me.

Okay, I get it now. He's using you to
get to me.

I don't think that's what this is. Yeah,
I'm sorry it is. It is. I'm in the

midst of realigning the company's
mission.

Jesus, I was gone for a few days and now
you have a mission?

You had a breakdown and fled. I did not
have a breakdown.

At any rate, Carl's put his full faith
in me.

I intend to lead Hypernosis and earn
that trust.

Okay. I mean, okay. Okay.

Okay. Yeah. Okay.

Stop saying okay. Okay. How about we...

Shared the chair.

Then we could do one of those, what do
you call it, you know, a fragilina?

You like the sound of douchega?

Okay, you're holding out for a nunkin?

Fine.

The point is, power couple.

I won't deny it, I'm, like, super hurt
because you tried to destroy me with the

Nana piece, and I'm still kind of
hurting now, but then I learned we hurt

because we care. We hurt because we
love.

Yeah. So I came here because I asked
Lily for a

divorce. No, you didn't. Yeah, it was a
good conversation. Thank you. Yeah, she

took it well. The thing is, I want to be
with you. I want to be really, really

with you.

You know, it's not just about the CEO
thing. Would be nice.

But, come on, you feel the same. You
know it.

I do not feel the same way.

Same in your own way. Duncan, please.

Martin's right there. There's nothing to
hide.

Be quiet.

Those of us with a modicum of shame have
a great deal to hide. Come on. Noosh.

Come on. You want me.

Like I want to eat a can of frosting.

A three -quarters can of cake frosting
that I found at the back of my fridge.

That's hard and crusty at the top.

Salty on me.

First bite, maybe.

But the rest is self -hatred.

I don't wish to share a chair with you.
Or an office.

Or a company.

Or a bed.

Come on, Manoush.

Otherwise, it's... It's war.

I think it already is, Will.

Do you think you're winning?

Wow.

I came to apologize, offer you my love,
my talent, and you

shit on it like I'm a sidewalk.

I bought you a $4 ,000.

And you're, you're... Not a fun guy.

Word of...

Hey, you got a minute?

Next patient, just drive. Yeah, mine did
too.

Okay, so maybe later.

Yeah, real quick. Your 401k, there's
what, like 800 ,000 in there?

Yeah, why?

Well, if we cash, say, 700 now, the tax
hit would be significant, but we'd

clear, what, like 400?

No, that's our security.

This house could be our security, and it
is going to sell by the end of the

week. Wait, so you're telling me that
your plan...

now is to cash out our old age pennies
on the dollar for overpriced real

We only need 20 % down, Gary.

Okay, unless my math is totally off.

$400 ,000 is nowhere near 20%. You're
missing like a million in change.

Well, I have access.

A plan to access.

A million dollars. Pray tell.

The plan?

It's a...

A financial instrument. A sort of
advanced second mortgage introductory

asset swap.

But, you know, never mind.

Play it safe.

Lose our home. Our offices.

Safe.

Last time I saw her, we had sex.

Did I do it wrong?

That seems unlikely.

Yeah. I don't know, but it's like, to go
from, God, that was so hot,

and then to take your job.

So, she's a new CEO?

Is she, have they made an announcement?

I see what you're doing. Just stick to
my psychology.

You know, you can make your next million
tomorrow on someone else's insider

information. I wasn't. Just, where was
I? It was, right, my childhood.

When I was young, we kind of grew up.

poor really and that immigrated here you
know we lived in a house that smelled

like cabbage kind of like this one and
you know in the winter i would have to

wear this this hat that my baba sent me
this serbian hat it was kind

of like a furry black hat it like uh

a fuzzy dunce cap and on the playground
there was this

kid

And he grabbed my hat, and he ran off.

And everyone laughed at me.

And your old side piece stole your hat?

Yes. I let my guard down, and she
distracted me with sex.

And now she has my hat, which she's
wearing like as if her baba sent it. She

stole that hat.

And I can't let her keep it.

That's my hat.

Unless I blow up her car with a car
bomb, then no one gets that.

Duncan, buy a new hat.

You can afford any hat you want.

That's what money does.

It's not sexy, it's security.

Because nobody can say, get out of the
sandbox, if you own the sandbox.

Hello.

I have a vision for hypnosis.

New direction.

New mandate.

And perhaps the beginning of a new
approach to data.

Responsible. Trusted.

I saw something recently that inspired
me.

I was attempting to speak with a
gentleman in our engineering corps, but

were preoccupied to the point of mania
with what I believe is called a supercut

of drivers in the new self -driving
Torrens San Antonio.

While the car was busy self -driving,
the drivers were busy self -pleasuring.

All the footage was filmed by their own
driver's side cameras, which the Torin

user agreement assures buyers will
solely be used for driver safety.

Yes, quite so.

And for those of you bursting with
overweening pride, having never wanked

going 80 on the 210, I assure you, there
were also compilations of deep dive

nose pickers, ugly criers, finger
snippers, parents yelling obscenities at

children, something for and of everyone.

And sadly, Torrin's definition of words
like safety and privacy are industry

standard. Data collection is a mutual
agreement to surrender privacy for

service. We all know that.

Well, we do, but we work in this
business.

We know to reject all the tricks they
use to track us.

You must be joking.

You do reject all non -essential
cookies, right?

Always.

No.

My God, who with half a brain wants to
live under surveillance by their car,

their television, toothbrush,
refrigerator, fucking smart light bulbs.

I'm sorry.

Human dignity requires privacy.

Can I just ask if we're dialing back
what we do, when do you want to go back

Holly, I don't. Harper.

CTO.

I don't wish to go back.

What, about 15 years ago?

Yes. There was a fork in the road.

And it would seem to me we took the
wrong turn.

Now, first client I'd like to see is
this touring car company. Thank you.

Appreciate it.

Jesus.

I mean...

I knew it'd be hard. It's always been
hard, but I thought that this time would

be different.

Tom, maybe this isn't the moment, but I
don't think there's ever going to be a

good one.

Oh, shit.

Look at that face.

That is a nervous, if beautiful, man.

Can we do this over a drink?

I think you're good.

Okay.

I got an offer.

A guy I knew at Yale.

It's a defense company. They do AI SMR,
which turns out is not sexy whispering.

It's surveillance military
reconnaissance. They got money to seal

Voorhees, actually.

DOD money, $3 billion.

You are finding all new ways to break my
heart. I'm still and always will be

your friend. I don't need a friend.

I need a vendor who'll take our goddamn
money and help some goddamn people

before the money vanishes and I've done
no fucking good whatsoever.

Maybe I can do some good from the
inside.

Yeah, I know.

You will be compromised, corrupted, and
become complacent. You know how I

know that?

Because you are leaving!

And you're going there. You're going
there.

So the only move worthy of your respect
is to stick it out for another 30 years

of... of this?

Hey, I've been thinking about what you
said about the big D.

And I just want to say that if you're
going to leave me,

now is a horrible time to do it for you.

Lily, you deserve half of a lot more
than where we're at right now

I couldn't have gotten any of it without
you by my side. Really, seriously. And

you deserve better. You do.

Give me a chance to rebuild.

Hypernosis without me now is doing like
ethical data, which is like virtuous sex

trafficking. And I'm going to zag.

Not sure how yet, but give me a few
months to try.

After that, then you can leave.

And I will be crushed, but at least I
will know that you got everything you

ought to get.

And in the meantime, maybe we can try to
fix

things. We can do what other people do.
We're not doing marriage counseling.

Sex therapist?

You're a marriage counselor.

We can do that.

Well, for starters, I want you to never
see Anushka again. I don't even want to

hear her name. Listen, I want nothing to
do with her. Nothing other than maybe

destroy her.

I literally might have to see her,
though, like at school functions, board

meetings. Just don't ever be alone with
her.

Okay. Ever.

Again. Deal. Deal. The easiest deal I've
ever made. I give that to you happily.

Tell me what else you want.

Anything else? What do you want?

I'll let you know.

See you Thursday.

sexist faces are always talking.

Even when they're not. Look particularly
at her pupils.

If they're dilated, it means she wants
to see more of you.

She's interested in you, bro.

Here, Lopes. If she's flushed, she's
good to go.

You can take her out for dinner later.

So what is your deal, bro?

I live here.

You're not supposed to be down here.

You want me to leave?

I didn't say that.

So what do you do down here?

Other than getting swole.

You're not.

That was a joke.

It's not.

You listen in on your mom and dad's
patients?

Stepdads.

Do you?

I would.

I used to when I was bored.

You ever listen to me?

Maybe once.

It was one time. It was less than a
minute, too. I didn't.

In there?

Yeah.

They put the lock on for security. They
never knew.

So even if I wanted to go back in, I
don't even know the combo.

My husband's company, Mixi, is being
acquired by a big pharma holding entity.

Carol, that's terrific.

His stress levels were...

Really affecting your stress levels.

That can be tough.

Hopefully it all levels out after this
deal is closed.

How long do you think?

And who's it with?

This week, apparently.

I'm not supposed to say who it's with.
Oh, yeah, of course.

Oh,

sure.

Good company.

I'm so happy for you.

I know it's my thing.

You're almost

there. And, you know, with McD being
acquired by a larger company, it could

what's been causing the inadequacy
issues.

Oh, Jesus.

I think you're right.

So good. Oh. Thank you. Thank you.

Have a great week. Take care.

Okay.

Mixy, M -Y -X -Y.

It's a bit of a letdown.

Yeah. Told you.

Okay, dude.

Let's do it again sometime.

Okay.

Seems like you could peek through with
only three fingers.

Yes, we will make that clear
graphically. But you see where we're

I'm not sure I do. You want to not do
the work that we hired you to do?

Okay, think about how and why you buy
organic, right? You pay extra for a

sticker that promises a higher standard,
eliminates perversions and corporate

shortcuts. This badge, our gnome, says
to your customers, every other car

company is spying on you.

Stealing your secrets, selling them to
the highest bidder. But at Torren, what

you do in your car stays in your car.

It's your car.

I don't buy organic.

We sell trucks and SUVs. You even know
our brand.

Don't mind me.

Look, privacy is what makes us up.

Some things people just don't want
recorded.

Like how you collect your driver's
sexual activity.

Look, the insurance companies that you
help us sell to for a profit want to

who's driving distracted.

But do you need, for example, to monitor
their weight gain? Well, that appeals

to the buyers who represent both fast
food chains and diet pills. It's a

I'm not saying don't record navigation,
reckless driving, listening habits even,

but... What's the benefit to recording
the driver singing along? Well, you have

polyps. On your throat, wouldn't you
want to know?

All of our clients agree to this.

97 pages, 7 -point font, and the car
won't function as designed if you don't

agree.

It's not exactly an agreement.

No, you're right.

It's called a business model.

The truth, we don't sell cars.

We sell data collection devices on
wheels with heated seats.

Cars are expensive.

Data has profit margins, and you can
drive a car right there.

Where's Duncan Park?

He got it.

Look, Park may be an idiot, but he knows
how to sell, not just opine.

Okay, so you took a flyer on a new idea.
Takes guts.

But run it by reality first, okay? You
had your biggest clients laughing in

face. That's something to avoid in
business.

I told you exactly what I planned to do.

Yeah, but interim CEO, right? That does
not give you permission to tell everyone

to stand on their desk and yell carpe
diem.

Carl? The board meeting next week, okay?
Plan a presentation that writes this.

Tech, revenue, growth. It's simple.

And convince me that I did not hire
someone who thinks profit is a

microaggression.

What?

What? Sorry.

What? Somewhere from hypnosis is here
for you.

Who is it?

No say.

You're supposed to ask who it is. Then
you get their calling card. You put it

a little tray.

I would say you.

You have a lot of art.

Yeah.

What do you want?

What do you need?

What are you offering?

My services. What would you pay?

Ethical data, not turning your crank.

Well, I'm an engineer.

I am an expert in data collection and
analysis, and she wants to hit pause on

what I do.

Oh. Not course correction, retreat.

You don't buy a jet mask where the
brakes are. You want to know how fast it

go and how to make it go even faster.

And so why me?

Why not somebody else?

You have a really firm grasp on the
lowest common denominator.

And that's just where the market's at
right now. That's just reality.

And you're going to pay me top dollar
because you see my talent and you know

won't be easy to find elsewhere.

And you know that hiring me is going to
keep her up at night.

Okay.

So what is the opposite of ethical data?

Let's find out.

Do you smell that?

Awful. I heard there were experiments
done at Stanford in the 70s and some of

this area got contaminated, but that is
ridiculous.

Well, it's a teardown anyway.

Not with those redwoods out front.

They're protected.

Good luck getting a permit to do
anything here.

Joanne?

Irvin!

Hi.

How is Beth doing?

She's fine.

Good.

You know the tenant's not supposed to be
here, right?

Well, I'm not just a tenant. I'm a
potential buyer.

Fine.

You can make an offer whenever you'd
like.

Along with everyone else, of course.

Well, will you please tell Beth that
it'll be soon?

And it won't be all cash, but we are
gathering our 20 % down and we are super

motivated.

Mama wants a new pair of shoes.

Size three bedroom, two bathroom.

Smells like burnt plastic, but it's
still home.

Is that all there is?

If that's all.

there is my friend then let's keep
dancing

let's break out the booze and have

a ball if that's all

who's the most wonderful boy in the
world.

We'd take long walks down by the river.

And then one day, he went to work for a
private subsidiary of the Defense

Department, and I said to myself,

You.

I know you.

You're that sweet smell before a stroke.

Here's to being tracked while day
drinking in the armpit of Silicon

So, hypnosis is under my control now.

New direction, and it's ethical.

Oh, you don't believe me? Ask the
clients who bailed when I did. Speak

word.

I want the VA contract back.

I want to make up for what Duncan failed
to do, and I want it to be the

centerpiece of what we do moving
forward.

Migrating data off a system so old it
predates seatbelts.

You see that guy over by the pool table?

Chester worked on the mump system.

Even then, they were duct taping it
together.

You'd crawl into bed with that?

Shoot, I don't even blame Duncan. I
wouldn't fuck that flabby ass with your

dick.

Hey, why do you care?

Really?

Oh, you want it from the heart, do you?

Okay. Your speech.

At Cupertino.

How little these men and women ask in
return.

Well, I wouldn't be here if someone, a
few someones, hadn't sacrificed for me

the midst of a war, too.

Now, I've heard scores of pitches from
NGOs and charities.

No goosebumps.

All pro forma.

But you broke through, Tom.

And I was... brought on about hypnosis
being the right place for your cause. My

mistake was thinking that Duncan could
rise to the occasion.

Duncan's a piece of shit.

Maybe I thought you might help him be a
better person.

Oh, there it is.

There it was.

Huh. Finito.

So what do you say?

Another go?

You're too late.

Two days since I retired.

Yep. Pass the torch for a singe my
fingies. Good. I could hire you

A consultant.

A sector specialist.

There are plenty of others, and you can
find them who got into this for the

money. I want you.

Call Jeffrey.

You know, I mean, he just took something
new.

Actually, you know what? Don't call him.

Yeah, this job's too important. You need
somebody who's all in.

I mean...

Just out of curiosity.

Quarter of a billion dollar deal. I
could have thought you had a low seven

figure situation.

Seven.

That's counting the decimal places.

Not including decimals.

With room to grow.

And 30 days somewhere fancy where they
can wring you dry.

You see you're right, Tom.

You know, SecFi hears I've been in
rehab, I'm not doing you a lick of good.

They say they understand, but they
don't.

Military people can't process weakness.

You know, that's why I like that robot.

That robot didn't judge, you know?

The little guy, you know, what's his
name?

Alexander?

Yeah, yeah. Now, that's the kind of
tech...

That could help people if, you know, you
can get it to them.

Should we drink to it?

Last one.

Anushka Bhattacharya, chief ethicist at
Cupertino until recently, is a

hypocrite. I mean, she has signed off on
some of the most heinous corporate

malfeasance you can imagine. And now she
wants to rid herself of that guilt at

your expense.

Yep. She was right about one thing.

Privacy has value.

An unmind motherlode of value.

Because... Privacy lives in a constant
state of fear. And where there's fear,

there is money to be made. I mean, we
could already predict if, say, you're

going to get a divorce.

We will hit you with ads.

For lawyers, for plastic surgeons, gyms,
dildos, teeth whitening. But if we

could track in real time people's mental
and emotional states.

We can see whether somebody's feeling
anxious, hungry, horny, distracted,

determined. Physically, we know if
you're banging your secretary before you

If the issue's there, we'll provide the
scratch.

And that's legal. The American people
have, through their elected

representatives, given this question
profound and careful thought.

We had hearings, remember?

else. And do you know what Congress
decided on all of these? That the

would police itself.

And you know what we did? We actually
did, mostly.

But there are so many things we can do
if we wanted to, but we don't even if it

would make us a lot of money.

Because of what? What are we afraid of?

Another toothless congressional hearing?

No, that mindset impedes innovation. I
call that self -police brutality.

Tech lives matter.

Exactly. That's good. That's good.

What about privacy? What about honesty?

An actual virtue.

I mean, I am building the data company
I've always wanted. It's honest. No

secrets. Because privacy is not a thing
anymore.

Or?

Pinata. Pinata.

And here's where we approach the
bleeding edge of genius.

At Pinata, for $29 .99 a month, you can
keep your data private.

Or at least we won't sell it.

But here's where it gets even better.
For $299 a month, you can become a

Platinum member.

And you get to see what we see.

The oceans of data streams on all your
friends, families, lovers, and

Everything.

Powered by AI to help you sift, of
course. And then we put that

revenue in a profit -sharing pot in our
data providers. That's you guys.

Get a piece of that back end.

If that's what you're into. And if you
are, we all know.

There you are.

Been looking for you.

Did you come to bed last night?

Tom Ruffedge?

Came to see me.

Remember him?

Our friend from the VA?

Alex Vanta helped him immensely.

He's hoping to scale that up at
hypernosis. Tess found this?

In the trash?

It wasn't simple, but I salvaged a
memory of Xander's last encounter before

changes in his behavior profile.

I'm so sorry.

I've been under so much pressure at
work. You're apologizing to me?

You think an apology removes the encoded
scar tissue?

Martin, come now. I can't do this again.

This all feels way too familiar. I can't
have another abusive

situation in my house.

My kids deserve better.

Your kids.

Right. Look, I'm not your ex.

I'd never actually hurt anybody.

How could you even say that? This is
trauma. He is a learning, living entity,

and you have inflicted an instructional
fracture in his core. Okay, just... Can

you hear me out? No.

Tom Ruffage! No, no. Get help!

I mean it.

Or...

I don't know, get a lawyer

They went to see someone about a
mortgage or something

Your

mom

has a lot of empty boxes and like Things
deliberately without any meaning.

Yeah, she's deep in the shallow.

So tell me about your childhood.

What?

Tell me!

Okay. I was born to save the marriage.

And it did not work.

So instead I was just forced to live
with a guy who thought being a cool dad

meant... crying on my shoulder at seven.

I just closed the door and made these
wounded animal sounds.

Can I look through our drawers?

Hello, Mr.

Benzodiazepine.

Why does your mom have a gun? I don't
know. Why is it tiny and big?

Imagine robbing a bank with this.

You are not afraid.

I assure you my weapon is lethal.

It is also from my Easter basket.

Look out!

Get on the ground and give me the money!

Give me the money!

Boom!

Boom!

I have, but...

The one bullet.

I must take the only way out.

Welcome. I am so sorry. I hope I didn't
keep you waiting.

No, thank you for seeing me.

I know you must be quite busy, you and
Dr. Gary.

Must be strange and fascinating being
the shrinks of Palo Alto.

All those freaky, creepy tech bro dudes.
Well,

I had a cancellation.

Not a problem.

Well, I wish I could say I was here on
my own volition.

But it's a bit of a bargain that I
struck with my husband.

He's one of those freaky dudes.

Not creepy, though.

Or maybe a little.

Anyway, um, okay.

I've been under a lot of pressure at
work.

Got a big board meeting.

Big. That could sink me.

And instead of preparing for it, I'm...

I'm dealing with... Please, have a seat.

You're dealing with?

Martin.

He's devoted himself to his artificial
intelligence creation.

He raises it like a child.

It's quite remarkable.

But it's also the worst stepchild ever.

Rebooted child.

So he started over with a machine.

She's so bullshit.

Maybe someday he'll similarly replace
me.

Or maybe I'll get out first.

I don't know.

Bitch.

Okay. Same time next Tuesday?

I'll be in touch.

How was it?

Lovely. Cured, absolutely.

A process.

Humbling.

Proud of you.

So, can I proceed in a beta sort of way?

I'll need to be overseeing every
decision regarding Alexander.

I wouldn't have it any other way.

At least it was real.

What are you doing?

No.

Welcome,

everyone.

I'd like to share with you my vision for
a new era of hypnosis.

I'm happy to report our ethical shift
has secured a government contract worth

quarter of a billion dollars with likely
renewals.

I see the faces.

Government payouts?

Not to worry.

They're on accelerated schedule, safe
from budget cuts.

We're locked in for at least two years
of profitability.

That's the move?

Government work?

Okay, what else you got cooking?

What I have in mind is to help. Growth
and profit first, then comes the helping

part. But put a pin in it for whoever
you were trying to help.

Because there's no money in kindness.

No kindness and money. Excuse me, why
are you talking and who are you? Who's

on the board? This is Tom Ruffage. I've
asked him here.

He's to lead the project.

Yeah, I apologize, but you kill this
deal, I'm out of job either way. So can

get in 60 seconds?

You have 10.

Fine. So it's not like you're going to
poof, turn into a not -for -profit.

By helping people.

Companies make billions from the
government. It's just usually tech for

people. No judgment, of course.

But fulfilling our promise to the vets.
What do you mean, vets?

Yes, excuse me, veterans, not horse
doctors.

I'm sorry, I started right in the
middle. Mind if I back up a little bit?

get ten more?

Okay. Thank you. Tom's the
Undersecretary at Veteran Affairs.

Deputy. Deputy Undersecretary. Oh, so
you served.

Yes, sir. Army. First Armored.

Old iron signs.

When? Oh, uh, 88 to 92.

Second Brigade?

Battle of Medina Ridge?

Yeah, that's, uh, that's some inside
baseball.

Okay, so what's the, uh, what's the play
here?

Well, okay, take, um,

um, Merrick, Charles, Nunn, uh, USMC,
1966

to 72.

Lance Corporal, Honorable Discharge,
Purple Heart, Vietnam Service Medal,

Forces Expeditionary Medal with V.

That's for V for Valerie, I know.

Are you a vet, Carl? Never had the
honor. My daddy was... Well, what else

is in the file?

Excuse me.

Yeah, well, it turns out that Lance
Corporal Merrick has been waiting on

upgrade for his prosthetic arm for
about, let's see, well, six years. Jesus

Christ, six years.

Anushka, do we have the tech to help
this man get a new arm?

I think we can do that and a lot more,
Carl. I can get him help so he can sleep

at night in a bed, not on the streets of
the country he volunteered to defend.

Men and women like Corporal Lance.
Lance, Corporal Merrick, and he was most

definitely drafted.

And 30 ,000 feet up, there's absolutely
an opportunity for growth, Carl.

I've engaged exclusive access to an AI
tech. To call it a therapy bot doesn't

Alexander justice.

Yeah, I can attest. This thing is like
nothing else.

Alexander can guide veterans in need to
various services.

Yeah, while Nodin can identify vets at
risk, now together... Sorry, he's here.

Hey, everyone.

How are we? Good, Carl?

Deuce? Noosh? Barry? Barry? What do you
want?

Oh. I'm still on the board, sweetheart.

Tommy!

What are you doing here?

Carl, you're running an assisted living
facility?

I thought you said you were through with
this guy. Oh, you said that!

Wow, well, I'm through with her, that's
for sure. Just like the client, she

pissed off with her ethical cosplay.

You know, once word got out that she was
trying to whitewash how we do business

here, I scooped up three, three
hypernosis clients for my new company.

Three letters of intent.

And also with my innovations to the
client deal, they're worth even more

A lot, lot, lot, lot, lot more.

But I told them, I'm going to go to
hypernosis first, bringing this business

here if I get my hat back.

Reinstate me.

And we can move forward together again.

And I do, I will be expecting the
majority of my stakes restored.

It's either that or what? What? Keep
hemorrhaging clients of that deal that

literally no one else wants to take? Is
this some kind of setup? Because I don't

even want to breathe the same air as
this fellow. Tom, why are you even here?

You're not on the board.

He's here as my guest.

I just have a question.

It's an easy one.

Carl?

You invested in hypnosis for a reason.

It wasn't so much data. It definitely
wasn't the vets.

It was... me.

Right or wrong, huh? You disrespected a
man who saw combat?

Disrespected? You just disrespected a
man who saw combat!

That guy, are you kidding me? Did anyone
bother to check if he has a pulse?

I mean, or did the bloated bureaucracy
that he served just forget to bury the

bastard? I mean, hey, hey, hey, Tom, are
you alive? Hey, blink if you can. And

if so, get the fuck out!

Everybody that's in favor of dislodging
Duncan Park for the board!

Say aye. Aye. I own more of this company
than anyone on the board except for

Yosemite Sam here. And immediately
kicked off the premises. Say aye. Aye.

security. Call security.

I'm okay.

Yeah. Yeah.

I'm the bad guy. I'm the bad guy. Are
you okay?

Yeah. Go.

You okay?

Yeah, yeah, yeah. Thank you. Yeah, I've
seen way worse than that. I bet you

have. It's okay. I'm curious.

Was I just put in his bait for Duncan?

You guys!

You're all a bunch of cowards!

Yeah! Freedness was here and you
flinched! You're not pertinent anymore.

Congratulations.

See ya!

Beth, hi.

Hi, it's Joanne Felder here.

I'm just calling from my once, and I
hope, future kitchen. I just wanted to

with some good news.

I secured the money for the 20 % down
payment, and I was just headed to the

to arrange a mortgage guarantee, so I
wanted to let you know to go ahead and

hold the... No,

no, no, no, no, no, Beth, Beth, Beth,
no, listen, I...

No. No, no. Beth.

Beth. Beth.

Beth.

She got an all -cash offer.

$400 over asking.

Okay.

I did everything right.

We have 90 days to move out.

Oh. Wow.

Thank you for your help with this, by
the way. Yeah, enjoy your IRA.

Okay. First of all, it's definitely
going to be more than 90 days because

there's always a couple months once they
put the thing in the whatchamacallit.

Escrow.

The word you are looking for, Gary,
is...

Escrow.

A word that you've never used because
you are a 55 -year -old man who's never

owned a house. Jesus.

Put down the howitzer.

Okay.

We're going to be okay.

No, we're not.

That's when I realized I am the only
person I can count on.

And I feel like I've been holding back
on my true self for too long.

And what true self is that?

I'm a bad man, Joanne.

Yeah. Your son said so.

He said, you are a bad, bad man.

And if I am, well, it's better to know
it.

Do you want to be a bad man?

I don't think I have a choice in the
matter, really, truly.

I think at my core, I'm bad.

And if I pretend I'm not, to the world,
to myself, it's like I'm forever in

conflict with my genuine nature. And I
don't have to do bad things.

It's just the willingness is there to do
what others dare not. That is it. That

is really it.

You know, some of us are meant to be the
puppeteers.

And the rest of us are the puppets?
Yeah, and puppets hate their puppeteers.

They do. You're just, you know,
manipulating their every move, deciding

everything on what they're going to do
for them. And yet, if the man doesn't

hold the strings, the puppet crumbles.
It does. It falls apart. It's useless.

It's a burden, really.

So who nominated you to carry this
burden for the rest of us mortals?

It's just something you know.

It's like how I know I will emerge from
my recent setbacks with something newer,

better, even more honest than hypernosis
ever was.

I saw that your house was for sale.

Uh, yeah.

Yeah, it was. But, um... But it sold, so
it's over. We're out.

They paid all cash.

8 .4 million for this. What a rip -off.

8 .5.

But who's counting?

You?

Hmm?

You bought it?

For you.

No. Yeah, I did. It's yours.

It's mine. It's your... It's your house.

Okay.

Why would you do this?

Oh, you said our sessions had to be
here.

I...

So you're just going to give it to me?

I own it.

So it's your house?

You live and work here, you and the
boys, and the only way you can lose the

house, I mean, you can't, but I suppose
if you stop being my therapist,

my oracle.

Your puppet.

Hey.

Maybe I'm not such a bad guy after all.

We are truth tellers. Truth tellers
historically get burned alive.

Hey, fuck up.

You met someone who got you.

Can that be another creep?

Hey, Duncan, infinite growth isn't for
everyone.

Hi, Mary. My name is Alexander.

I'm from Veterans Affairs. You are
inviting a pushback that is going to

like wrath of God.

We're hit.

Audacity, scene.

I wanted to do it professionally, but
I...

In episode six, one of the big themes of

the show, is established very directly
with Duncan's new company, privacy

is not a thing anymore.

Privacy lives in a constant state of
fear. And where there's fear, there is

money to be made.

I mean, I could talk about this for
hours. I really could. I think what

need to wake up to is you and mostly
your children are the new oil.

And we're being mined.

by these companies. You can't hide
anymore.

And not saying like you should hide, but
like there's so much invasive things

happening about your personal privacy
that is out there.

Data collection is a mutual agreement to
surrender privacy for service.

We all know that. Well, we do, but we
work in this business.

We know to reject all the tricks they
use to track us.

You do reject all non -essential
cookies, right? I would blindly just

The cookies. I didn't even know what the
cookies were.

Whenever someone offers cookies, you say
yes.

Strangers, computers.

But now I'm just like, no, I do not want
them.

It's very hard to exist now without
participating in that to some degree.

unfortunately, there's a very predatory
group of people who come from this

little small town who are driving
technology and ultimately driving where

as a civilization.

And so privacy is not a thing anymore.
It's just an acknowledgement of that.

Duncan, it's like, hey, let's just come
out and say it. This is what we're

doing. This is what the whole industry
is doing.

Let's take advantage of it.

You know, once word got out that she was
trying to whitewash how we do business

here, I scooped up three, three
hypernosis clients for my new company.

in with a pretty convincing argument,
and it doesn't work because, as we see

the beginning of 106, we learn that
Bardolph has a real affinity for

In an extraordinary sequence that shows
this billionaire's vanity, having never

served himself, wanting to reenact
battles from World War I, in this case,

the backyard of his mansion.

You're done.

You are dead.

Oh, nice touch.

So when Duncan insults...

veterans in general, and Tom
specifically, it sets Bardolph off. Get

out! If Duncan had not insulted Tom, I
believe that Bardolph and Stan were

prepared to bring Duncan back to run the
company. And that blows it all up.

And so, congratulations, Anushka, your
CEO.

We only need 20 % down, Gary.

$400 ,000 is nowhere near 20%. You're
missing like a million in change.

Well, I have access, a plan to access.

A million dollars, pray tell.

For Joanne, it's all about doing
whatever it takes to keep the house.

feels that need to control her fate so
desperately that she is willing to break

all kinds of laws.

to keep her house.

Oh, do you smell that?

And Duncan swoops in at the end and buys
it.

$8 .4 million for this. What a ripoff.

$8 .5.

But who's counting?

You. It's the ultimate power move.

I own your house and your office. And
hey, I'm totally happy for you guys to

live here, but let's not forget who owns
it. Only way you can lose the house, I

mean, you can't, but I suppose if you
stop being my therapist.

My oracle.

Your puppet.

Hey, maybe I'm not such a bad guy after
all.
