All language subtitles for The Foundation s01e01 The Face of Hope

In 1977, tobacco baron Randolph James
Selkirk established the R .J. Selkirk

Foundation. As a grand act of penance,
Selkirk bequeathed $300 million to the

foundation under the all -encompassing
mandate... For the betterment of

humankind worldwide.

Today, the R .J. Selkirk Foundation is
managed by Michael Valmont Selkirk, a

legally allotted to him for life in a
separation agreement from R .J.'s

granddaughter.

I would like to thank the Selkirk
family, especially my daughter, Cody, my

Selena, for their undying support.

This nominee shakes people out of their
lethargy. He is a man of vision, a man

of purpose.

What's his name again?

Randolph James Selkirk. Should you thank
a dead person?

You don't want this award.

And even a blind man can see that he
deserves to win the face of hope this

Thank you.

You're up, Dad.

Good luck. Thanks.

Bonsoir. Good evening.

For 33 years, the R .J. Selkirk
Foundation has been on the cutting edge

philanthropy. At the helm of our ship is
Michael Valmont Selkirk. In the past

year, Michael's African Desalination
Initiative.

H2Africa is guiding our help
internationally into the third world.

Now, a special message from Sarah
Chonders, who

suffers from necrotizing glomerul...
Sorry.

Glomerul... Glomerul... Glomerul...

Glomerul...

Hi.

It's been five months since I last left
this room.

But tomorrow night, because of the
portable Glickman I'm receiving from the

.J. Selkirk Foundation and Michael
VanMol Selkirk, I'm going to see my

singer, Apollo, perform live for the
very first time.

Did you get the check for Tara's
machine?

The concert is this week. I'm trying to
watch the video. Quiet.

Thank you, Michael.

I have hope now because of your faith.

Let's all hope Mike has the faith.

Hope for all of us.

Hope for all of us this year.

Thank you. Thank you very much.

It brings me great joy to announce the
next Face of Hope winner for Leadership

in Philanthropy. And the award goes
to... Réjean

Lemlein, of course.

Bravo, Réjean!

Well done, Réjean.

We didn't think you were going to win,
did you?

Oh, thank you. Thank you.

Thank you.

Thank you.

The video, she's a yammering infant.

On her fired.

That sick kid talked better than she
did. Should have gone with bone marrow,

boy. Something fixable she could
pronounce.

What the hell does that cherry kid have,
anyway?

Glomolip. Super bad kidneys.

Reg! Thanks a lot, Michael. Thanks a
lot. Congratulations, Reggie. The other

rich people have spoken.

Sure.

You can't go amp like Reg's stooge.
That's too obvious.

You gotta hit him.

We've got to hit them with looks. So we
need, like, a hot celebrity that's smart

and has arms.

Dad, Mom says I have to go.

You're taking the limo, right?

Sorry you didn't win the award. I think
Raja's a tire kicker.

I concur.

Hey, get your own man a drink.

Consolation binge?

Something like that.

Marnie's got three years left on a
guaranteed contract.

90 grand a year. We'll have to buy her
out.

What?

Who agreed to those terms? You insisted.

Right. Well, she's finished.

I want headshots on my desk tomorrow
morning. I need new candidates.

I'll put Cynthia on it.

God.

Do you remember her in Petit Voyageur?

That buckskin?

Christ, her train pulled into
Spansville.

Buffet closes at 10, so remember to give
that door a good yank on your way out.

You want to meet for lunch?

I think you're due at the office, and I
have some meetings

out.

Good morning.

This is the first round of candidates.
I'll have more in an hour.

This is a good move, Mike. Tough to do,
but it's good. We need a fresh face.

Dog. She won a Nobel Prize for physics.
You can tell.

Is that a hermaphrodite?

They need to be classy, smart, yet
visually appealing. Good -looking Nobel

winners, astronauts, people that can
write books and turn heads.

Okay, I wasn't aware. Barry said low
-key, so, um, Mike?

Mike, we need to get that Glickman to
Chara tonight. Yes.

Yes, we do.

Mike, Cynthia says she's a Rhodes
Scholar, too. Imagine that hot

That check, Mike.

Bogar's really going over budget on the
desalination build.

On H2 Africa.

If we keep going like this...

The desalination plant is going to cost
almost as much as we're pretending it

costs.

I already moved some of the money
around, but the overages are putting

on the legitimate internal accounts. You
lost me.

Do the thingy.

The whole thing? Yeah, sure. Why not?

Okay.

The stapler is the desalination plant.

Uh, you used an orange last time. Do you
have an orange? No. It was just easier

for me to follow when it was an orange.
The stapler is the orange.

Bokar is building the plant for you. You
raise the funds to give to Bokar to

build the plant, eh?

My Emperor Nwanda, I come to build the
plant for you.

The plant costs a million dollars to
make in real, actual costs.

You make sure Bokar gives you paper
saying the plant costs ten million to

It doesn't just cost one paper clip. Why
don't you just...

Order more clips.

There's not going to be any more clips
for at least a couple of months. Barry,

acquisition still hasn't got that check
yet.

What? The check for Tara.

Well, Mike's got to approve it.

Mike?

Mike?

Mike? Pay her off.

She's bad luck anyway.

Thank you.

Isn't this the weather girl from Channel
13?

I want to meet her. Um, Marnie's here,
by the way.

Really?

Well, you let her down slow, eh? She's
been having a rough week.

Oh, I'm not firing her.

I think it would be easier coming from a
woman.

I think she needs to hear it from her
boss.

People here feel it's time to turn over
a new leaf.

It's got nothing against you.

I thought you did great last night. I
messed up last night. No.

Oh, just a couple of rough spots. Maybe.

I didn't mean to stutter and get all
confused.

It's just that I've got this.

Spit it out.

Symptoms.

Symptoms of what?

MS.

Should I get tested?

No, no.

Multiple sclerosis. It's a neurological
disorder in the early stages.

My works is all I have left.

No. No.

We're family.

Forget what I said.

This is your home.

We'll make sure we'll get you the proper
treatment. Well, there isn't anything

anyone can do, really.

No clinic overseas, perhaps? You just
have to push on with your life the best

you can.

Can we keep this between us, though?

Yes.

Absolutely.

Hey. When does somebody become
technically handicapped?

What?

Say you're intimate with them, and they
have a fresh disease.

Does that count?

What are you talking about?

I screwed Marnie Mathers, and in the
morning she told me she had MS.

God, Barry, I think I nailed a handicap.

I'll look into it.

Dr. Stantz is all wrong, you know? I
mean, her body language reads victim

than hero.

Well, she does have MS.

Oh, God.

That's terrible.

It's been hard on all of us.

Excuse me.

And he looked up and saw that the
factory ceiling had been torn asunder.

And the sun shone down on him. And
Robotico looked to his people and spoke.

Thank you. Good night.

Go away!

Go away!

Cynthia! What do you want? Go away!

What? The check bounced, Mike. Char's
check didn't clear.

Who the hell is Chara?

I'm Mr. Polo.

Oh, shit, I don't care if I hurt him.
Better now.

And it's all your fucking fault.

I want to die.

I want to die.

I am so, so sorry.

Chara, you have no idea.

There's your Glickman. We can start
getting you mobile.

My next video about you is going on
YouTube.

And I'll get eight million hits.

Because I've got necrotizing
glomerulonephritis.

And you're a sick fuck!

You sick fuck!

How would you like to see Apollo right
now?

Can I talk to you for a second?

I'm going to see Apollo?

Sure.

I called him this morning.

He can't wait to meet you.

Oh, my God. No, no. Oh, my God. What
exactly

is the plan here, Mike?

Rev up that stupid machine, get her sick
ass in the limo, then track down what's

-his -face. Oh, my God! Oh, my God! Oh,
my God!

He's got the 11th floor booked out. What
the hell is the plan?

Get the gimp in the elevator.

Sorry, folks.

This floor is booked out.

Hi.

I'm Michael Selkirk from the R .J.

Selkirk Foundation.

Good for you. You can't be on this
floor, man.

The girl here, her name is Chara, and
she's suffering from narcotipone.

Super bad kidneys, all tubes, no hope,
you know. And?

Well, she has an appointment with
Apollo.

Okay, we don't have an appointment to
see him, but, you know, you must have

feelings. I mean, look at her.

Her only dream is to see her hero, and
you're denying her that dream just as

has denied her her functional kidneys.

Look, she's dying.

Nobody's supposed to know.

You got ten seconds to turn your ass
around, okay?

Maybe baby needs a new pair of booties.

Don't do that.

Hi, hi, hi, hi, hi.

I'm Marnie Mathers.

You might remember me from TV.

But you... Marnie.

Okay. I, I, I, I, I... The thing is that
little...

Chara here was supposed to go to the
show last night, but there was a mix

-up. You see, we were supposed to take
her and the

glee machine.

I'm sorry.

I have trouble speaking sometimes. You
see, I have a chronic...

I screw up everything.

You didn't screw up, Marnie. I did,
okay?

She has MS.

Come this.

Jera. Hello.

Jera.

Jera.

It's just me, Apollo.

Don't cry.

It's okay.

I'm sorry I missed your show.

I heard you got a super bad kidney
disease.

Well, you know what?

I got a bad liver, so that makes us
friends.

Will you?

Will you autograph my Glickman? Of
course I'll autograph your Glickman.

autograph anything you want.

Thanks.

Thanks.

When I got out of rehab, I promised
myself that I'd give back to the

This is what it's all about, Mark,
right? Give back.

Every day, it fills my head with joy.

I gotta go, Shia, but I'll see you
backstage after the show, okay?

Thank you, Apollo.

You're welcome. Let's go!

I

checked

into that MS thing. You're in the clear.

I didn't nail a handicap.

You can't get compensation until the
advanced stages, so no, you didn't.

Just good to go? Mike, think about this.

Two people died in a fire during a meth
binge at his house. His pet lynx was

found starved to death for God's sake.
If he relapses, we don't need that

attention. Two birds bury one stone.

What's all the big fuss about?

Here's what you need to say.

Remember, find strength.

This is how we cope with adversity.

Today is a day of new tomorrows.

Today, I will be stepping down as chief
spokesperson for the RJ Selkirk

Foundation, but will turn a new leaf
within the organization,

campaigning for a cause close to my
heart, a disease I struggle

with every day.

multiple sclerosis.

Tomorrow,

stepping into my shoes as the new
spokesperson is the international rock

star, Apollo.

Thank you, Marty.

Good luck with the MS.

I'm not only excited to be taking over
the reins as spokesperson for the R .J.

Selkirk Foundation, but I'd also like to
announce that I'll be spearheading a

brand new initiative.

It's something that affects all of us.

It's drugs.

I firmly believe, though some of you may
have your doubts, that if we put our

hearts to it and our minds to it, within
three years, we can stop drugs

completely.

Completely.

Stop drugs completely.

Completely.

We all need goals.

Thank you for thinking.

Hi, Craig. This is awesome.

You got a little center there, sweetie.
