Oh, I'm excited.

“SELF:

The one that matters”

-No. -Why?

-No, it sounds arrogant.

-It's not arrogant, it's confident.

And it's also, it's personal.

I think it would make people reflect.

-I think it's a little aggressive.

And I think we need to think more abstract. Something like...

-Like what? -Like, "Think Different."

-Apple? -Yeah, ever heard of 'em?9

-Jesus Christ. We're supposed to be different. -I know but...

we don't have to be assholes.

-It's not about being an asshole. It's about...

it's not even about being self-involved. It's-- the point is,

the app itself is the only one you need.

It's the only one that matters.

-It's not that I don't get it. It's just...

I think the fact the fact that we're debating it

is probably not a good sign for a slogan.

-(sighs) -But, hey,

can we just talk about something else for the next couple hours?

-You're right, you're right. -'Cause we're...cheers.

-To one year. -Happy anniversary.

They're frozen now.

-They're offshore for a reason, Nick. -Okay.

Well, you-- -You know what?rxDo me a favor.

-I talked to some people, thank you, Jerry.■ -Oh.

-So no money in or out?

-For at least a month, and that's being generous.

-Nick: What about Araknet's funds?

-(sighs) She can't freeze those, she has.

-Okay, so, Jerry, what do we have nowin Araknet's?

-We have enough to keep the lights on for a fe.

-Okay, that's fine. That's enough.

That's enough time to get SELF up and out the door.

-Jerry: Uh, no, I literally mean

We're not gonna be able to meet at least half our .

-I'm sorry, what? -Wait, how the hell'dthat happe?

-Ask Nick. -Nick:6Maybe just don't ask N.

-I'm asking Nick.

-Nick: It was... a fudge.

It was a temporary fudge.

-To empty our accounts?! -No, not empty.

-Jerry: Well, payroll taxes■8 were comi.

So, we needed to look slim for a minute.

-(phone ringing)

-Three weeks?

-Mm-hmm.

-Stella: (sighs)

Guys, it's...

Okay, um... (laughs)

Guys, we just went over our current projections on Friday.

What changed?

-Nick: It's complicated, but, uh,

just know that if we don't get SELF launched in three weeks,

I don't want to scare anyone, but we're dead.

-Ronald: What Nick's trying to say

is that due to the shifting landscapeof all-in,

it would behoove us to get SELF out to marketbefore.

-Exactly. -Stella:Yeah, okay, I get that.

But it's not like we've got a bullpen full of Izzys out .

It's gonna be at least a month,

before the internal platform is even functional.

And Sal, your team, with the apps--

-Yeah, what's going on with the apps?

-Yeah, um, my team is busting their asses,

but it's a lot of work.

-Yeah, so guys, it's gonna be the old adage:

good, fast, cheap. Pick two.

-Good and fast.

-Stella: Yeah? -You said "pick two."

Good and fast. -So, you can getmore money appr?

-Nick: Sure. What do you need? Tell me. -St.

That's easy. We just need manpower.

-Okay, can't hire any more people right now.;z Bu?

-Okay, but no, but that's what I need.>I need .

Sal has needed a right-hand man for the past month--

-Nick: I'm sorry, we can't hireT anyon.

-Even just moonlighters, that would work.

-You're just gonna have to put in more time.Y-More tha?

-Whatever it takes! -Ronald: Hey, sidebarfor a quic.

-Why?

-I got an idea, just... sidebar.

-Nick: Be back.

-(phones ringing)

-All right, what's your idea? -I ain't got one.

I just needed you to shut your damn mouthZ8 for a .

We need to be straight with 'em, Nick.

What we askin' them to do-- -No, no, no.

-No. -People ain't just disposable.

You gotta treat them with respect.

Our people, that's all we got.

-Do you know what "our people" are gonna do

if they find out that we are financially frozen?

Kelly is gonna get the funds released byÑxthe end .

Everybody will get their paychecks.

-Why you rushin', you so damn confident, huh?

-'Cause maybe we don't get liquid again.

Don't make that face at me.

You're the one who wanted to diversify our investors.

This is how we do it, we have to prove we have legs.

Does it suck for everyone out there? Yes.

You're not wrong about that.

But if Kelly fails, and we only have 30 days left,

this is our last shot.

-(horse exhales) -(goats bleating)

-Ronald: I'm tryna raise a family, man,g.

I ain't got much extra just lying around.

-All right, all right. Well, Mara, how much can we do?

-Well, I don't think anything that would make a difference.

-Everything would make a difference right now. Every .

-I'm telling you, bro, we need to be out there securing ne,

not sittin' in here, sweatin' it like this--

-Ronald, you don't think any new investors'■zgonna woy

our liquidity's under government seizure?

-Maybe they don't ask. -Wes: Nah, they'll know.

Theres always due diligence before the checks clear.

This is why we gotta go with somebody we know.

Somebody to look the other way.

Like the Saginaw brothers.

-Well, whatever you amazing people decide,

we have five days of liquidity

before we start defaulting on contractor obligations.

Oh, and paying our employees. -(phone chimes)

-Yeah, I already had a few folk ask me why their shit was late.

-Wait, hold up real fast.

She just wrote back, Agent Stroud.

-Word? -Yeah, she's willing■x to mee.

at Nolan's.

-The fast food joint?

-(indistinct conversation)

-Mm. You guys come here ever?

-Yeah, I mean, everybody do at some point.

-Only place I eat.

-Ever?

-I travel all over the world.

And it don't matter it's Paris, or Kuala Lumpur,

I can rely on the fact that I will always getthe same,.

This American institution has sold hundreds of billionswZh

and there has never been one, single, proven case

of food-borne illness.

Imagine that. -Yeah, well I got the shitsreale

from that double bacon burger, so...

-No. I can promise you it wasn't that.

-Pretty sure it was the double bacon burger.

-You know, people think

that food-borne illness happens quick, but...

actually, it takes about 36 to 72 hours

for the strains to gestate.

So, you might be thinkin' that it's that undercooked pork,

or that scallop that did ya in,

when, in fact, it was that unwashed kale salad.

-Okay, look here.

You can't come at us like this.

This shit is straight up illegal

and we got about a dozen legs to stand on,

if this whole thang go to court.

-I'm not sure I understand what you're referring to,

but you guys should have some pie. It's 2 .

-Nick: The seizure order-- -No, look.

You froze all our damn money.

-I did no such thing, gents.

That was the FBI, from what I heard.

I mean, you can check with the judge.

But, from "what I heard" also,

the order wasn't against your whole company,

it was just your chair of the board.

-Okay, all right, fine, so we're just doing this...

new thing where, uh, you just find little loopholes

to go after people outside your jurisdiction.

-Ronald: You knowas well as anybody

that this whole thing have to hold up in federal court.

-Mm, well, sorta, kinda.

But you know, they could remove the order

and you'd still have problems.

Not with me, of course, more like the DEA, maybe.

You know, with those friends of yours, down in Little Haiti,

who are still buyin' and sellin' arms and narcotics

through the same company for which you currentlyT:serve .

I may not have a back door,

but with your boys,

I have a place to start lookin'.

-I have no idea what you're talking about.

-Oh, okay, well, that's fine.

Cause I don't think your co-CEO does either.

So, we're good.

You really should try that pie.

It's a shame to waste it.

(slurping)

-(whistle) -Girl: Here!

-Tamara: Okay girls, yes!

Keep it open, keep it open! Keep movin', keep movin'!

-Yeah, sort of.

-(scoffs)

We keep not talking about it, then you keep not talkingÑ at .

-Just not with Els in the car. Okay?

-I'm not a baby, Dad.

-I know, it's just somethin' that your mother and I needto t?

we should really do something for everyone.

My guys and Stella's guys,

just so they know that we appreciate everything they'r.

-They know.

-Well... I don't think so.

-Not everything has to be a party, Mara.

-What's that supposed to mean?

They relish in it.

They don't need... balloons.

I know that your other three partnersé0aren't go.

They have three votes to your two.

-I can convince them, okay?

You just unfreeze the money. I'll make it happen.

I will unfreeze your money once you turn one of them.

But which one is it gonna be? Because they all hate you.

-Look at you.
