Richard, it's Maximo.

Now, remember how you refused
to take my money.

Well, Colin,
he did take my money.

- Now he is leaving your network.
- To go where?

Oh, to the network run
by my new friend, Laurie Bream.

- You guys, there's really no other option.
- Yes, there is.

If Hooli won't sell us Foxhole,
we could just buy Hooli.

Big question.

How do we buy Hooli?

You want this deal to close,
you bring us the forms,

get everyone's hard signature
and then bring them to me.

You're not gonna turn your back
on 30 years

of making money together,
are you?

I don't want to be in business
with any of you people.

Everybody's gathered out there,

so you should probably
say something.

Won't they be happy?
I freed them from Gavin.

Or your company
just swallowed theirs

and you fired their founder
and CEO.

All we wanted was
Foxhole,

and instead we got
all these Hooli people.

We really couldn't just
fire them, sight unseen?

Uh-uh. Tracy from HR
has to do an assessment

of each person first,
then we should can them.

Oh, hey. I think I know
that guy. Uh, yeah.

What are you doing?
Did you just wave him in?

I-I don't know,
automatic social shit.

Hey, Ethan!
Uh...

- What are you doing here?
- You tell me, boss.

Uh, Ethan was my first
manager when I was at Hooli.

I didn't know you
still worked there.

Yeah, well, we can't all
invent middle-out compression.

Uh, anyway, I-I hope
I make the cut.

Yeah, well, we're having to be
creative with the merger, so...

Yeah, totally.
That's why I figured I could maybe help.

You could use Hooli OS for
your entire mobile suite.

Yeah, we're not gonna
spend months porting

Hooli software over
to our protocol, so...

- But thanks.
- Yeah, it was a good thought.

Yeah, you wouldn't have to.

When we iterated Hooli
OS 11, we reengineered

the entire network
layer to be compatible

with other protocols...
and you own it.

How quickly,
would you say,

you could, um, make it
work with PiperNet?

A few weeks with
almost zero refactor.

How much money do you think
that could save us?

So you guys are planning
to build your own

external antennas to deploy
for the Hawaii test?

- Why?
- The zero-start problem.

Until we have a critical
mass of users,

iOS and Android devices
don't have enough range.

Right, of course not,
but push-to-talk HooliPhones do.

HooliPhones?

You want us to roll out
our network on push-to-talk,

janky-ass HooliPhones?

Laugh it up, but,
uh, the fact that

they still have low power,
omnidirectional antennas

means they have
a radius of four miles.

What is your antenna's range?

- One mile?
- Wrong.

One-point-one-five.

Okay. Line of sight, though.

- Maybe.
- Richard,

you guys just bought
250,000 HooliPhones.

Instead of spending more money on
expensive and mediocre antennas,

why not just give away
HooliPhones for the test?

Delete.

You know, Ethan, could you

walk us through the Hooli OS
side of all this work?

Yeah, totally,
but I think it'd go faster

if I just took point
and your guys backed me up.

I'm sorry, what do you
mean, back you up?

Guys, we are
in a huge hole here.

Whatever it takes
to get us out of it, please.

Um, why don't you talk
to Tracy in HR,

and you can get
your start-paperwork.

Cool! Looks I already earned my
keep, huh, Patches?

Patches.

Yeah. Oh, that's weird
that you remember that.

Um, so, Patches.
I'll tell them.

Uh, first
day at Hooli,

I wore this sweater that had
these, like, elbow pads on it.

- Anyway, uh...
- HooliPhones?

Are you fucking serious?

You just laid down and let
that guy roll all over us.

Look, I don't wanna use Hooli
shit anymore than you guys,

but this is for the greater
good of the company.

This will get us
to a working test.

This will get us to Hawaii.

Hey! Holden.

I asked for a water.

*SILICON VALLEY*
Season 06 Episode 04

*SILICON VALLEY*
Episode Title :"Maximizing Alphaness"

- Thank you.
- Mm-hmm.

Oh... Laurie.

This will be sound.
Excuse me one minute.

- Laurie.
- Oh, Monica.

- Hello.
- Hi.

I'm now using touch as a means
to communicate friendship.

Uh-huh.

Hey, um, is
that Kara Swisher?

What do guys do in there?

We are uplifting each other
while we plan our annual

Women in Tech Empowerment panel.
Kara's moderating.

Oh my God.
Is that Susan...

Susan Wojcicki from YouTube.
Don't point, it's unseemly.

Laurie, you do know
that I am the CFO

of a prominent tech company
and just personally led

- the acquisition of Hooli?
- Yes, I am aware.

My partner Maximo is,
hmm... unpleased.

I'm just saying,
I-I would love to do the panel.

Why? You don't mentor,
you don't volunteer,

you don't develop
programs for women.

You've never shown the slightest
interest in supporting women.

Of course I have!
Which is why

I wanna do your panel with
Susan Wojcicki from YouTube.

Well...

we do have a lot
of funny people.

You could add... balance.

Are you eating
the entire leaf?

It's amazing how wasteful
people in the West can be.

Hoover.

This book will send shockwaves
throughout the Valley.

Cold Ice Cream
and Hot Kisses.

This is about your
experience at Hooli?

No, no.
It's a coming-of-age story

about a lost,
yet handsome teen

growing up
one fateful summer in Maine.

Now, get that
to the publishers.

I want the hardback in my hand
by tomorrow lunchtime.

Sir, it takes
a bit longer than that.

We have to send it out to publishing
houses and then find an editor.

Editors are for people who can't
write correctly the first time.

We'll self-publish.

And this really isn't
about tech?

No.
I've left tech for good.

Now, I have a chance
to do something important.

Write a thinly veiled
roman à clef

set in a whale-themed
B and B.

So look, Monica, um,
I was looking over the org chart,

and I think I'm gonna put
you in charge of Foxhole.

- What?
- Yeah.

I mean, while I know
that you and I were saying

that maybe some people might find
it a little misogynist or offensive.

I think that we if we had
a woman at the helm,

it might change the optics,
and since you don't really care...

No, I-I-I do care.
I care deeply.

No, you don't. I mean,
you literally said,

"If a bunch of dumb
Marines wanna cheat

on their dumb wives,
what the fuck do I care?"

I don't think I used
those exact words.

I'm pretty sure
you did, actually.

- You texted it to me last night, see?
- No, but...

And then you also said,

"We don't have to smell it.
We just have to sell it.

- As long as those fat fat fatties..."
- Okay.

I took an Ambien
last night, and probably

should've turned off my phone.
Can you delete those?

Okay. Monica,
just make it work.

Please? For women.

Hi.

Bertram Gilfoyle?

No.

I'm John.

Okay.

I brought the HooliPhones.
Would you like to see them?

I was told to help you
with integration.

You know what, John?

That would be grand.

Okay, here they are.

The push-to-talk
HooliPhone 13-X.

Here's a HooliPhone
right here.

And here's a HooliPhone
right here.

- And here's a...
- Stop talking.

Sit in that chair.

Do not touch or say anything.

Okay.

Oh my God.

Gwart, do you remember
how I-I told you

I found my birth father in that
militia in the Ozarks, but...

then it turned out
that guy was a fraud?

Well, um, I just went in
for some genetic testing

to-to confirm my diagnosis
of Marfan syndrome,

and it turns out that
my real parents are alive.

And they live in Santa Cruz.

And they're
still together.

What should I do?
Should I visit them?

Are you upset?

Should I have not allowed
somebody to sit so close?

Because I-I asked you
if it was okay.

If you had an issue,
you could've...

No. No.

It is my job to protect you.

That is my responsibility.

I shouldn't have put
you in that position.

I apologize.
Do you forgive me?

Yeah!

Yeah, you're right!

I'll be splitting you guys
into teams of four,

then giving you guys different
test scenarios. Hey, Patches!

Hey! Uh, Holden said that we
were having this thing upstairs.

Yeah, I moved it down here.
It's just a better space.

Go ahead, have a seat.
You're over there.

I said we should wait
for you to start, but...

The clock is ticking, though, right?
We have stuff to do.

Busy, busy.

Oh.

Elbow pads.
Weird. Yeah, okay.

Uh, actually, the first day
I was at Hooli...

Yeah, I told them. I told them.
They all laughed.

Oh. Heh.

Come on,
put it on, Patches.

- I don't wanna put it on.
- Do it! Be fun!

Yeah, okay, sure.
I can be fun.

It's kinda funny, I guess.

Yes!
There he is!

There's our Patches!

Hey, listen, Richard.

You know I'm just joking
around with you, right?

We're all just having fun.
Thanks for being a good sport, okay?

Sure. No problem.
Okay. Back to it.

Right! Okay,
so as I was saying,

with smaller groups,

we'll be able to make
faster decisions, right?

Light on our feet.
For example,

do we think this photo
of Richard is funny?

We do, don't we?

God...

We do!

Okay. Cool, uh,
guilty as charged.

Big cake lover.
You got me.

Yeah. Well, I mean,
I was your boss for a year,

so you know I have some funny photos
of you squirreled away, right?

Uh, I didn't know that was a thing
bosses did, but, yeah, maybe.

Speaking of which,
did you write that?

- Ooh!
- Oh, my God.

And sorted list
size is greater than

plus, plus index?

You ran a brute force
search on a sorted list?

Look, guys, it was
my first day, and...

- I was nervous, and I was hurrying, so...
- Really?

That's why you decided to write
the slowest subroutine in history?

Anyone could've made
that mistake.

Yeah, it's true.
In fact, I could ask for a show of hands,

but instead of doing that,
uh, I'll just, uh...

Could you have made that mistake?

Could you have
made that mistake?

Could you have
made that mistake?

- Okay.
- Could you have made that mistake?

The joke is that he's doing a
brute force search of the room.

- Yeah, I know.
- Then, why did you do it?

Could you have made
that mistake?

Richard,
what the fuck was that?

It was just...
Ethan being Ethan.

He was acting like your boss, and you
were acting like his noob employee.

No. Everyone knows
I'm the boss.

I think people were just excited to,
you know, Razz the CEO.

- It's all in good fun.
- I did not have fun.

I watched you get kicked
in the balls for 90 minutes.

My balls hurt sympathetically
for your balls.

Take off that sweater!

It's fine.

I mean, yes, Ethan
can be a little prickly,

but he is gonna get us
to where we need to be.

And I don't mind putting my ego
aside for the good of the company.

That guy humiliating you
was not good for the company.

He dominated you like
a silverback gorilla.

Do you know why the gorillas
respected Jane Goodall?

- Jane Goodall studied chimpanzees.
- Wrong!

It's because she could kick
their ass, and they knew it.

You need to assert dominance
like Jane Goodall.

I have something
to show you.

You're gonna need this.

This is a video
of maximizing alphaness.

What else happens?

It's just this,
then it repeats itself.

You just
kind of breathe

and subconsciously
absorb it.

Dinesh, this is the dumbest
thing I've ever seen.

Fuck yeah.

Hey, John.

Yeah?

Could you grab
my extra spudger?

I think it's on my desk,

next to my chess board.

Okay.

Cthulu limited edition, huh?

- That's right.
- Huh.

Anything else?

Nope.

Okay.

I am so glad
we could do this.

Yeah.

What are we doing,
exactly?

Well, I have had my eye
on you for a while now.

It's what I like to call,
"mentoring from a distance."

We haven't spoken more
than five words to each other

since you joined
the company.

That's
the distance part!

Look, I-I came
here to talk about

advancing
the careers of women,

specifically yours.

- Do you know how we just acquired Foxhole?
- Of course.

Apparently, it's 90% men,

and almost all the female
users are prostitutes.

Which makes it a very
challenging assignment.

It's also a big promotion

and strategically
important to the company.

And it's yours,
if you want it.

But, I mean, if you don't
think you can handle it,

I can just check in
with Becky, Nadia,

- Dani...
- No!

I can do it.

Awesome! For you!

Caspian's heart
cracked open

like one of his father's
briny lobster traps.

"Hannah," he whispered.

"I am not..."

"Hannah," he whispered.
"I am not a member

"of the prestigious
Prout's Neck Yacht Club.

"Truth be told, I am but a..."

"Truth be told, I am
but a lowly man of the sea.

She..."

"She was my mistress,
but now, I pray

that you might be as well?"

Thank you.

- Name?
- Oh, I don't want to buy your book.

I'm Allie Abrams, arts editor
at the Sacramento Bee.

Do you have a minute
for a quick interview?

I'll make the time.

Is it on? Running?

Firstly, I work in the parlor.

I use a 1968 IBM Selectric II.

In fact,
the tapping of the keys

inspired the idea
for Lana's blindness.

The tapping of her cane,
you see?

Oh.

I guess what I really
want to know is,

why isn't this
book about tech?

I'm an author.

Would you ask John Grisham the
same question, or Jackie Collins?

Well, no, but they weren't the
head of a failed tech company.

You think I failed.

I didn't fail tech.

Tech failed me.

Tech failed all of us.
Look.

We should be
in a Waldenbooks,

but we're here,
in this decrepit shithole, and why?

Because people buy books
online, thanks to Hool...

Amazon.

So, don't point fingers at me.

I didn't write about tech

because tech destroys worlds,

and I,
I wanted to create them.

May I have a token
for the restroom, please?

Well, there's not
a whole lot to the story.

Once you came along,

Susan and I realized
the timing was not right,

and we needed to give you up.

I appreciate how difficult
that must've been for you guys.

One of the hardest decisions
we ever had to make.

Um, thank you.

And I just want you to know,

that I understand
and I don't hold it

against you at all.

You guys had kids after me?

- Well, one was after.
- Pardon?

- Pete and Lisa were before you.
- Right.

I don't understand.
You...

I was your third child,
and-and you... you gave me up?

Yeah.

- It just got way too difficult for us.
- Mm. Yeah.

Couldn't go
on as many flights.

Two parents, two kids...
That's a clear row across.

- Yeah.
- 1A, B, C, and D.

So, you gave me up to simplify
your first-class air travel?

- Oh. No, it's more complicated than that.
- Yeah.

- Yeah, we had car travel,
- Mm-hmm.

- And taxis.
- Mm-hmm.

We never really did
travel by train.

No, and I don't do boats,
so...

Well, you did enjoy
that trip down the Rhine.

I... said I did.

Oh, you!

Anyway, when we gave you up,
we realized...

- we had a huge mistake.
- You did?

Yeah. We realized we actually
did want a third child.

- Yep.
- Started trying almost immediately,

and we lucked out because
Donald is the best of the bunch.

Yeah.

- Donald?
- Yeah, we love that name,

so we just wanted
to use it again.

- Oh! Speak of the angels, they're here.
- They're here.

Wait, you invited
my birth siblings here?

To meet me?

- Hi, Mama.
- Hey.

This is Peter.

This is Lisa.
This is Donald.

And this is, uh, Ken.
He's here to tell us

- about the solar situation
- Ken?

For the house...
so, uh...

Yeah, we offer financing.

We just need one more minute,
and then we can go.

- All right.
- Bye.

We never told them
about you.

Didn't wanna make them sad.

- Yeah, I-I see.
- Yeah.

Well! This has been
really great.

We have...

- We have a family dinner.
- We have a dinner.

Every Thursday,
we have Italian food, so...

Although, tonight, we're switching it up.
We're gonna do Chinese.

It was one of the hardest
decisions we ever had to make.

Yeah.

Well, uh, Ken, we were
underwhelmed by your presentation.

- Hey, John.
- Yeah?

Did you move
the white pawn here?

Opening move?

No.

Okay.

I'm gonna go hit the head.

I should be back
in about two minutes.

Okay.

Where's
the dunce cap?

Hey, uh...

Uh, Ethan?

Yeah, Patches?

I-I was actually
thinking that maybe

we...
stop with the nickname.

We had our fun,

but maybe stop all the jokes
about my coding mistake

from years ago,
and also...

stop calling me Patches.

Yeah. Okay.

Butt Stuff.

You remember that?

When you walked around
all day and your T-shirt was

stuck all the way
into your underwear, all day?

I mean, I remember it,
but no to Butt Stuff.

- Um, just call me Richard.
- Here's the thing.

That name makes
me happy, and...

if you had as much
managerial experience as I do,

you'd know that keeping
your star coder happy

is how you get the best work,
and you guys need me

to do really good work
because I'm kind of

the only person here
that can do it, so...

I'm just gonna keep
calling you Patches.

Is that okay with you?
Patches?

- Oh!
- Aw!

So, it's complicated.

You were the clear
aggressor in this incident,

but you're also
the only one who got hurt.

You hit him
in the forehead,

which is the single hardest
part of the human body.

I would never advocate violence,
but when you make a fist,

you wanna keep your
thumb on the outside.

Yeah. Uh, I know that now,
but at the time, I couldn't remember.

You did great, Champ,
but here's the bottom line.

We gotta cool our
shit down with this guy

before he lawyers up
and sues us a new hiney-hole.

You need to go talk to Ethan
and give him a sincere

- and honest apology.
- Without admitting any fault

or describing what
happened in any way.

I asked myself,
why would they reject me

and not their three other
biological children?

And that is when it hit me.

It's me.

I mean, even as a baby,
I must have

somehow rejected them,

and every subsequent
foster family I've ever had.

Oh. Heavy.

I rejected Richard,

and every person who has
ever offered me safe harbor,

and it has to stop.

I have to commit to Gwart.

No matter
how difficult it gets,

even if we're miserable together,
I am going

to support her work,
and bring her food,

and-and put her in her
prescription sleeping bag

when she starts to thrash.

It is the only path forward.

Hey, that's
the best, man.

I feel like you made
a lot of progress.

Ha!

Gwart's doll gloves.

I'm gonna make her so happy.

My book is
a fucking disaster.

What have you got there?

Oh, um,

MSNBC wanted to interview you
about being

an "anti-tech evangelist."
Their words.

I told them you only wanted
to speak about two things:

cold ice cream,
and hot kisses.

Who-who was it?
Was it Hayes or O'Donnell?

Maddow, sir.

- Really?
- Yes.

I'm sure all the major outlets
would love to have you...

if you discuss tech.

So...

Do I honor my truth
as a starving author,

or do I return to
the world I've scorned?

What did Publisher's Weekly
say about my book?

Publisher's Weekly is a...
terrible magazine, sir.

Call Maddow.

Yes, sir.

Bishop to E6.

- Checkmate.
- Fuck.

Okay, so that's...

42 games
for me, and...

zero for you.

You wanna play again?

I think I'll take a break.

Okay.

Okay.

Well, thank you so much

for the hilarious Susan
Wojcicki, the CEO of YouTube.

It's gonna be a very
hard act to follow,

but here to try is Monica Hall,

the CFO of Pied Piper.
Come on up, Monica.

- Thank you for coming, Monica.
- Thank you.

I was thrilled
and surprised to be invited.

So, let's cut
right to the chase.

You recently acquired Hooli,

and one of
its properties

is Foxhole, which
is apparently an app

that military members use
to source prostitutes.

Yes, and that's something

I'm not involved
with on any level.

It's being run now
by a young woman

I promoted,
Priyanka Singh.

I talked to Priyanka
before this panel.

Priyanka, are you
in this audience?

- Yes, hi!
- Hey, Priyanka. How you doing?

Why don't you get up
and tell us about it?

Well,

when I first took over
the app, I was pretty lost,

but, luckily, I was able to call on
my network of strong, female coders.

And almost
immediately, we came up

with a plan to rebuild Foxhole
from the bottom up.

Our first step will be to unionize
the sex workers on the app.

We believe that friends
with benefits deserve benefits

because sex work is work.

And! And!
Why is it only for men?

Don't our female soldiers,
who put their bodies in harm's way,

deserve to put their
bodies in pleasure's way?

I think it might be a good
idea to bring Priyanka up here.

- Priyanka, why don't you come up?
- Uh, okay.

So, Priyanka,

the business
of sex positive feminism...

Monica, move.

Like we say at Foxhole,
if you can scale Tinder,

you can scale
sex positive feminism.

There's a seat in back.

You.

Who are you?

Ethan. Hey, um...

I owe you an apology.

It's bad enough
that I used brute force

to search
a sorted list, but...

No, Richard.
I'm the one

that needs to apologize to you.
You're my boss,

and the way that I talked to you
was completely outta line.

I'm just feeling
insecure about

working for a guy
that used to work for me.

- Really?
- Yeah.

I'm so happy to be here, and...

I'd love to stick around
if you'll have me.

Yeah,
of course. Yeah.

Great, man.
Thank you so much.

Sorry again. Thank you,
this is great.

Dinesh,
I'm really looking forward

to finishing up this project
with you and your team.

- Oh, it's whatever, dawg.
- Cool.

What did you
do to that guy?

- I watched that video.
- See? I told you! We're alphas!

- Fuck yeah!
- Fuck yeah.

Hey, uh, don't show
that video to Gilfoyle.

Got it.

Fuck yeah.

- I see it's been handled.
- Yes.

Good.

So, I trust there's
no more need for any...

No.
That won't be necessary.

Let's hope not.

Can I go now, please?

Very well.
Good job on the plate.

Holden,

did you threaten
Ethan in some way?

He was causing problems

- for Richard.
- Oh.

Well, it's...

it's good to know
that he's in good hands.

Don't you have
somewhere to be?

Uh... sorry. Um...

It's from Gwart.

"I'm dissolving my company
and taking a job elsewhere.

"Your employment is terminated.

P.S. Those aren't
my doll's gloves."

Oh.

So, then I...

I'm free to return
to work with Richard.

Your position's
been filled.

Oh, um...

No, it hasn't.
