- [Narrator] Have
you ever thought

- [Narrator] Have
you ever thought
if you might be at the right
place at the right time?

if you might be at the right
place at the right time?

- Whoa!
(car horn honking)

- Hey, watch out!
- Watch it!

- The street signs are
there for a reason!

(soft orchestral music)

- [Narrator] That was Jacob.

And no, it's not the first time

Anthony will cross
paths with him.

He was meant to be there.

Often, we're meant
to be in a place

to do good and
make a difference.

How often do we say,

"How can I make this
world a better place?"

Maybe just one person at a time.

(cell phone alarm chiming)

(message sent notifications)

- Late again?

- Late night.

- [Barista] No, where have
I heard that one before?

- [Barista] No, where have
I heard that one before?
- Can't imagine.

- Can't imagine.

(light piano music)

Hey, have we met
somewhere before?

- No, I don't think so?

- [Anthony] Really; 'cause
you look so familiar.

- Pretty sure I'd remember you.

See ya!
- Bye!

- Hey, do you live around here?

- Look, you seem nice,
but to be honest,

it's a little early for
me and pickup lines,

so enjoy your latte.

- [Anthony] It's dark roast.

- Forget it honey,
she's not your type.

- Sorry, I got held up.

- Well, the next time we
schedule a board meeting,

we'll make sure to take your
social calendar into account.

(all laughing)

As I was saying,
ladies and gentlemen,

last quarter was very positive.

We experienced unique business--

- I know you're not a morning
person, but seriously.

- I know you're not a morning
person, but seriously.
- Cut me some slack.

- Cut me some slack.

Didn't get home 'til 3:00.

- Are you for real?

You gotta show me
how you do that.

You talked to that girl
for, what, 15 minutes?

- 30, I talked to her on
her way home, sort of.

Nothing happened.

- Something to share?

- Oh, I was just explaining
to Mr. Frampton here

that while we did see
a mere 20% user growth

during that time
period, quality's as
important as quantity.

- Yes.

Yes, but the final
numbers won't come down

until we aggregate the reports.

In the meantime, you can be
assured that the underground

is performing at its
highest capacity.

And with a new shared
space rolling out shortly,

you can guarantee your investors
that we will continue to be

one of their most
profitable ventures.

All right, thank you, ladies
and gentlemen, thank you.

- That's what the dotcom
CEOs told their board.

(Anthony laughing)

- Anthony, can I see you for
just a second in my office?

Thank you.

- Thanks very much.

- Ma'am, it's always a pleasure.

Thank you, gentlemen.

- Boom.

- That's a cheap bribe.

So, is she worth it?

- You want the details now?

- No, not really.

Are you gonna see her again?

Nevermind, I don't
know why I ask.

- Look, I'm sorry about that.

I know it's not fair
to you and the guys.

- You were 15 minutes late

to a rather important
board meeting.

Every time you pull
a stunt like that,

your reputation
takes a hit, Tony.

I don't want people
to start questioning

I don't want people
to start questioning
your dedication to this company.

your dedication to this company.

- (laughing) If
anybody has questions

about my dedication
to this company,

I'm happy to point them in the
direction of our user count.

- No one's questioning
how much you do.

But, Tony, that group
we just met with,

they have one real
interest in our company

and it's what we can do
for their investments.

- And we're number
two in the marketplace

and we're trending
fastest-growing company
in the last year.

and we're trending
fastest-growing company
in the last year.
- Yeah, last year;
that's last year.

- Yeah, last year;
that's last year.

They don't care about
last year, Tony,

they care about this year.

And acting like we
don't care doesn't help.

- I was 10, 15 minutes
late at the most.

- If it were just me,
you could come in here

strolling through at
noon for all I care.

You'd get the job done,
and you're good at it.

But the reputation
of this company,

it's based on the
reputation of its members,

and I don't want
people to start asking

why I still have you around.

- Okay, look, I'm sorry.

Putting the reputation of
this company on the line

is the last thing
that I wanna do.

- I know.

Just, please, when you're
out there living it up,

just remember this
company's why you can.

- Yes, Dad.

(phone ringing)

- [Receptionist] Nick?

- Mmm.

- [Receptionist] The
accountant is here to see you.

- Again?

- [Receptionist] I
think it's urgent.

- (sighing) When is it not?

All right, send him in.

- Oh, hey.

- Oh, hey.
Have we hired any
new people recently?

Have we hired any
new people recently?

Maybe like a redhead
about our age?

- No, I don't think so.

Why?

- No reason.

- This isn't gonna be
an HR problem, is it?

- You walked into the board
meeting 20 minutes late!

- You walked into the board
meeting 20 minutes late!
And look, dude, I
gotta be honest.

And look, dude, I
gotta be honest.

It's your fault.

Nick wouldn't have half the
reason to be the jerk that he is

because he wouldn't
have half of what he has

if it wasn't for you.

if it wasn't for you.
- Yeah, wasn't The Underground
pretty much your idea?

- Yeah, wasn't The Underground
pretty much your idea?

- It was our idea, I just
came up with the name.

- [Chris] And half
the investors.

- And who came up
with the other half

and built the company platform
and programmed the thing?

- Programmed it, seriously?

We programmed it!

I get it.

I got your back.

We grew up together.

The brotherly devotion thing.

Dude, Nick is not the poor kid
from down the block anymore.

You gotta cut
yourself some slack,

stop acting like he's your
boss, because he's not.

- Actually, technically,
he is my boss,

and he's your boss too,
and yours, and yours.

But, you know, he's right.

I need to take things
more seriously.

I need to take things
more seriously.
I need to take everything
more seriously.

I need to take everything
more seriously.

- You feelin' all right, Tone?

- You feelin' all right, Tone?
You got a temperature
or somethin'?

You got a temperature
or somethin'?

You got a temperature
or somethin'?
- You spent the last 10 years

- You spent the last 10 years

making the Underground
what it is.

It's time to enjoy the
success, live the dream, baby.

- Live the dream, is that
what we're doing right now?

- Bigger picture.

Look, we've got money,

we've got the best internet
company on the planet,

we've got the digs, I'm
really good-looking.

(laughing)

- Don't push your luck!

- Don't push your luck!
- Look, if we're on
top of the world,

- Look, if we're on
top of the world,

then why doesn't
it feel like that?

- Ah, see this?

This is the Sunday philosopher.

This is the Sunday philosopher.
- Sunday philosopher?
- Mm-hmm.

- Sunday philosopher?
- Mm-hmm.

When Tony was in college,

he used to get in
these long debates

about the meaning of life.

Well, it's too early.

I'm not drunk and I
don't wanna hear it.

- Yeah, you wonder why
Nick has issues with you.

- He has problems with me

- He has problems with me
because I don't put
up with his attitude.

because I don't put
up with his attitude.

And he has problems
with everyone else

because he's a
self-righteous jerk.

- That self-righteous jerk

made it possible for
you, Chris Frampton,

to imagine that one day
you'll be living the dream

with someone like that.

- [Chris] Challenge accepted.

- This is gonna be fun.
- Uh-oh, damage control.

- Really?

- Evening, ladies.

You're enjoying
yourself thus far?

- We were.
- Well, I just happen to have

two select invitations to the
10th level of the Underground

and I don't know
what to do with 'em.

- Are you kidding me?

- Are you kidding me?
That's the most exclusive
level of the Underground.

That's the most exclusive
level of the Underground.

You get all kinds of
deals and discounts.

How did you get those?

- You Underground?

- [Woman] Oh yeah,
like every single day.

- Well, I'm watching you
like every single day.

- That's not at all
what he means to say.

- That's not at all
what he means to say.
Do we need to revisit your
power of introduction?

Do we need to revisit your
power of introduction?

- Do we need to revisit how
much you suck as a wingman?

- I'm usually not
playing wingman.

Ladies, allow me to
introduce Chris Frampton,

lead programmer at
the Underground.

- Seriously?

- And I'm Anthony Seaton,
director of marketing.

- Oh, he's the co-founder
too, if that impresses anyone.

- Wow, can you
believe this, Kate?

- Not really.

- Believe it; this
guy makes your life

more safe and secure
every single day.

- I do my best.

- And what exactly
do you do, Anthony?

- You know what, I think
I'm gonna head out.

It's getting late.

- But you just got here!

- I have a long day tomorrow.

It was really nice
meeting you both.

- Again, you mean.

We met this morning.

- This morning, dude?
- Kate?

- It was nice meeting
you Anthony, Chris.

Night, Sheri.

- See ya.

- It was something
he said, right?

- So, you Underground.

- Every single day.

- Well, like I said,

I am watching you every
day, but in a good way.

- Chad.
- I'm kinda like Batman.

- Chad.
- I'm kinda like Batman.
- Chad?

- Chad?

- Yeah, it was nice to meet you.

- Good morning,
you're here early.

- Am I?

- Just got in design options

for the promo campaign
for Level 13; wanna see?

- Sure.

Nice color palette!

- Hey, we are the
Underground, right?

Dark's our thing.

- Yeah, these look great.

I'll pass 'em up to
Nick for approval.

- So, how'd it go last night?

- Same as usual.

Chris made a new friend.

- (laughing) Really,

because I heard she called
him Chad all night long.

- Once or twice. (laughing)

- And that she
went home with you.

- Nothing happened.

- Sure.

- I'm serious.
- I'm sure.

Let me know what Nick says.

Oh, and here are the latest
numbers, if you're interested.

- Good news?

Not good news.

- Not exactly bad.

Users down another 10%,
but that was expected.

- Any grumblings from
yesterday from the investors?

- Nothing from the investors,
but word from sales

is that if Hodge & Gates
doesn't get more return,

they "won't be returning."

- Yeah, well their clickers
are not our problem.

It's up to them to create
compelling advertising.

- You try telling them that.

- What's this?

- What?

- Looks like a cease and desist.

- Looks like a cease and desist.
- Really?

- Really?

- Has Nick seen this?

- I presume so.

- On time today.

Well, maybe Chad
doesn't have to worry.

- Oh, you heard about that, huh?

- Oh yeah, a beautiful
woman disses Chris all night

just to go home with you.

I'd pay people to tell
me stuff like that.

- You know, if you came out
with us once in a while,

you might actually
see it for yourself.

- (coughing) Mm-hmm.

Risk my reputation

as the stone-hearted,
iron-fisted CEO of
The Underground?

No, I don't think so.

- Yeah, they don't see
it that way. (laughing)

Anyway, nothing happened.

- [Nick] Uh-huh, I'm sure.

- Have you seen this?

(soft piano music)

- C-and-D?

Yeah, we get these all the time.

- Yeah, it's not just
a typical C-and-D.

It's from StrataShare,
blocking Level 13 rollout.

- Well, it's not like
the idea of shared space

is exclusive owned
by StrataShare.

- Nick, we modeled half of
Level 13 on StrataShare's model.

- Yeah, sure, we
modeled half of it.

We didn't copy it.

Don't worry about this.

Don't worry about this.
Listen, just focus on
getting our user accounts up.

Listen, just focus on
getting our user accounts up.

That's what matters right now.

- It's kinda hard to sell the
original and innovative rep

when you're being
sued for stealing.

- Oh, no-no-no.

Hey, original and innovative,

that's only half
of our mystique.

We're also The Underground.

Think you can sell
that to our advantage?

- If you say so.

- I do say so.

Now, go on, I think
our buddy Chad

wants to know what
didn't happen last night.

- Nothing happened!
(laughing)

(message sent notification)

Oh hey, Father, let me help you.

- Thank you.

That'd be wonderful.

Whew.
- Where ya headed?

Whew.
- Where ya headed?
- Just around the
corner to the center.

- Just around the
corner to the center.

- The center?

- You know, the community
center behind the cathedral.

- Right, the center.

- Exactly.

(light upbeat piano music)

Well, here we are.

You know, our church
serves the community

in a variety of ways.

This center dedicates its time

to the kids in the neighborhood,

providing afterschool
activities,

mentoring, and tutoring,
among other things.

Come on.

Good afternoon, everyone.

- Good afternoon, Father.
- Good afternoon, Father.

- This young gentleman--

- Anthony.

- Anthony has been kind enough

to help us with
the evening treats.

- [Woman] Thank you.

- Hey.

I guess one of these is yours?

- Thanks.

- Is everyone here?

If so, we should probably
go ahead and get started.

Anthony, you're more
than welcome to join
us if you'd like.

- You're welcome
to stay, you know.

It's a brainstorming session

for some of the
programs at the center.

- I don't know if--
- Sure,

considering your
online expertise.

We've come up with
some amazing ideas.

- Well, you know, it's--

- You know, we could
really use your help.

- Well, you're gonna
have to fill me in.

- Something tells me you
can handle the basics,

Mr. Underground.

(message sent notifications)

- [Father] Good night.

Take care.

- Thank you, Father.

- Thank you, Father.
- Thank you, so good
to see you again.

- Thank you, so good
to see you again.

- Good to see you.

- Gotta tell ya, some
interesting ideas, Mr. Seaton.

Thank you.
- Thank you, of course.

- Nice job.

- I have my moments.

- Listen, about the
other night, I'm sorry.

It's just that bars
aren't really my thing.

- Don't be.

You know, I heard as much.

- From Sheri?

Yeah, she mentioned
you walked her home.

- Nothing happened!

- [Katie] I know!

- I walked her home!

- Apparently, you were
the biggest disappointment

of her whole life.

- That's one I've
never heard before.

- That's one I've
never heard before.
Hey, do you wanna go out?

Hey, do you wanna go out?

I do know this great little
shop around the corner.

I do know this great little
shop around the corner.
- No, I don't think that'd
be such a good idea.

- No, I don't think that'd
be such a good idea.

- Why not?

- I mean, I'm just
not really your type.

- I mean, I'm just
not really your type.
- My type?

- My type?

- [Katie] Yeah, you know.

- So you're calling me a player?

- No.

- You did!

You know, there's something
in the Bible about that,

John 7, judging on appearances.

- I wasn't.

- Yeah, you were, but
maybe you're right.

Just let the father know I'll
email him about those things.

- Anthony, I'm sorry!

(slow piano music)

- New print proofs.

- Would you call me a player?

- What?

- You know, would
you call me a player?

- (laughing) Not to your face.

- Thanks.

- What up, mama?

- He, on the other hand.

- Don't you have
something to file?

- I think she loves me.

- Well, would you
call me a player?

- Yeah.

Yeah, your name's in the Wiki.

It's your picture.

What?

- I just, is that
what everyone thinks?

- That's what everyone
thinks is awesome.

- Not helpful and not awesome.

- There's that Sunday
philosopher look again.

Hey man, I already told you,

you built a good
life for yourself.

You need to stop worrying
about what other people think.

- Yeah, it's not so
much what they think

as whether or not
that's really what I am.

Being the company Casanova
wasn't exactly in my life plan.

- Casanova, really?

No one uses that
anymore; it's old-school.

- You're right, thanks.

(message sent notification)

- [Chris] Is that Sheri?

- [Chris] Is that Sheri?
- No.

- No.

What'd you wanna see me about.

- Yeah.

Some of the guys heard a rumor

that StrataShare is trying
to put a stop to Level 13.

- Nick says it's
nothing to worry about.

- Nick says.

- Yes, Nick says.

- Okay.

Keep me in the loop?

- Sure.

(message sent notification)
- I'll see ya later, bud.

- [Anthony] See ya.

- Megan, you got my files?

- So, your friend, is he
still with the company?

- Yeah, he's the CEO.

- That's really incredible
you guys have stayed together

after all these years.

- Yeah, well once you've
been through Catholic school,

you pretty much bound
through anything.

- Yeah, what school?

- It's up in Kennesaw.

- My grandma lives in Kennesaw;

actually, right next
to a Catholic school.

- Wait, not that
house up on the hill

with the Christmas lights?

- She is known for
her Christmas lights.

(laughing)

- You're Saint Kate.

- Hmm?

- Katie Stanton?

- What, you don't remember two
little neighborhood hoodlums

who used to just peer over the
fence at you and your friends

when you were sunbathing
during the summer?

- Wait a minute.

You're Anthony?

You're Anthony?
Anthony Seaton?!

Anthony Seaton?!

- And you thought I
was hitting on you.

- You were hitting on me!

I see things haven't changed.

- Well, I am taller
and a millionaire.

- So, I guess it
was you and Parker,

your friend, Nick Parker.

- Seaton and Parker, still
making trouble 20 years later.

- Wow, millions of
dollars of trouble.

This is gonna blow
Grandma's mind.

She thought you two delinquents

would end up in jail for sure.

- We were very close.

A couple times, actually.

- You know, I gotta
get back to work.

But thanks.

Thanks for lunch.

- You are never gonna
guess who I ran into.

You know that redhead
I was talking about?

- You ask me about
a lotta women, Tony.

- No, the one from
the other day.

Anyway, I was at the
community center and--

- What were you doing
at a community center?

- I was delivering coffee.

- I was delivering coffee.
Anyway, I run into none
other than Saint Kate.

Anyway, I run into none
other than Saint Kate.

- Saint who?

- Kate!

Katie Stanton!

Little Old Lady
Stanton's granddaughter.

Geez, I think we bugged
the snot outta her

when we were little.

(laughing) Tormented
her as much as possible.

- Tony.

- I mean, I think we
made it our personal goal

to make her life miserable
the summer we turned 10.

- Tony.

- She's the girl--
- Anthony!

- I mean, she's the
girl, Saint Kate.

- Anthony!
- So cool!

- I really don't care what girl
you scored with last night.

- What?

- I am two hours away from
my quarterly budget meeting

and you're late again.

I still don't have your
reports on my desk.

- Finished it last night.

You'll have the final numbers
on your desk by COB today.

- Tony.

Tony!

(sighing)

(car horns honking)

(indistinct TV chatter)

(doorbell ringing)

- Where did you find this?

- An album at home.

My mother kept it.

She sent me a bunch of stuff

when she moved outta
the neighborhood.

I know, right; my
mother, who woulda thunk?

- [Anthony] Man, I
forgot we took this!

- I think it was at one
of those church festivals

they had every year.

Mrs. Stanton made us
take it, remember?

I think she thought we
were just teasing Kate.

- Dude, we were 10.

- Oh, I'd like to see what
she looks like now though.

She's the reason you
were at the church center

the other day, wasn't she?

- Sort of.

- Sort of?
- What?

- (laughing) Sort of.
- What?

- I don't know.

It's been a long time

since you've done
anything with the church.

- [Anthony] Yeah, I kinda
got away from it for a while.

What's that?

- [Nick] This is why I
went off this morning.

I'm sorry, it caught
me by surprise.

It's a court injunction,
filed by StrataShare

preventing the Level 13 rollout.

- Nick.

- Copyright, patent
infringement.

You name it,
they're claiming it.

- Well, what's our defense?

- Well, what's our defense?
- Developed our own version,
which is true, and it's strong.

- Developed our own version,
which is true, and it's strong.

Doesn't mean when this
thing hits the wire

there won't be a
heck of a firestorm.

- Eh, The Underground
is way too popular.

Our users are not gonna
take this lightly.

- If only they judged
case law, we'd be set.

Too bad they don't.

- Well, I'll just get
with PR in the morning,

draw up a game plan.

- Sounds good.

I gotta roll, but I
wanted to explain.

- Nick.

- Yeah?
- Thanks.

- See you in the morning?

- Yeah.

- Sorry I'm late.

I had this meeting
that ran over.

- How'd it go?

- How'd it go?
- It went okay.

- It went okay.

- Yeah?

- How about you?

- Eh, it's fine.

Heard about the
StrataShare, huh?

- Yeah, Underground
News Network.

- Right, up-to-the-minute
everything.

You know, it's really
not a big deal.

We get these things
all the time.

- I'm sure you do.

But if what they're alleging
has any truth to it,

well, how's Nick handling it?

- Fine, I guess.

Like he handles everything.

- With panache and charm?

- (laughing) Hardly.

- So, when are we
gonna all hang out?

- I don't know, he's
a pretty busy guy.

- I suppose he
never got married.

- I suppose he
never got married.
- Married?

- Married?

No, he's definitely
not the marrying type.

He's a workaholic.

- That's too bad.

I remember him always
being really nice

when he wasn't calling me names

or breaking into Grandma's pool.

- You mean, he
was a total dweeb.

- [Katie] He wasn't
the only one.

(laughing)

(laughing)
- Hey, do you know...

- Hey, do you know...

Do you know some of the
kids in this neighborhood?

- Possibly.

I mean, I work with a
lot of 'em at the center.

- Yeah.

You know a guy named Jacob?

- Jacob.

- Yeah, he's like 15 or 16,

he's kind of obsessed with shoes

and he has a problem
with jaywalking?

- What?

- Yeah, nevermind anyway.

Doesn't matter.

- Is he someone
you wanna mentor?

- Mentor, no, no!

(message sent notifications)

Dude!

- Hey.

- Dude, word.

I...

- Uh-huh.

- Uh-huh.
- Look, I got something
I need your help with.

- Look, I got something
I need your help with.

You think you have some time?

- With what?

- I don't know, there's
coffee involved.

- [Jacob] Ew, gross, man!

- [Jacob] Ew, gross, man!
- Soda?

- Soda?

- How about one of
them fizzy waters?

- Fizzy what?
- Do you want my help or not?

- Yeah!

Yup, I do; fizzy
water, you got it, bud.

Come on, let's do it.

Fizzy water?

How many siblings again?

- Two younger.

I've been taking care of
'em for about four years.

- So, you've been taking care
of 'em since you were 12.

- Ain't no big thing.

They're good kids,
keep outta trouble.

- And you?

- I've never been in trouble,
if that's what you wanna know.

- Well, you're
doing a lot better

than I was doing at your age.

- (scoffing) You?

You're lying.

- No, I actually got
into a lotta trouble

for boosting a
car when I was 14.

- Seriously, you've
stolen a car?

- [Anthony] Well, I didn't
steal it, it was a prank,

but that's what the record says.

- Why'd you let
yourself get caught?

- Why'd you let
yourself get caught?
(laughing)

(laughing)

- I didn't let
myself get caught.

- You can't even do
the bad stuff right.

How'd you do it?

- [Anthony] What?

- Get to where you are;
you know, the good life.

Ain't no rich kids
boosting cars at 14.

- Well, I had people who
pushed me to do better

and someone who relied on
me to do the same for him.

- And just like that,
instant millionaire?

- No, there was a little
bit of work involved.

And I was lucky, or blessed.

You know that guy that
I was talking about?

Well, I relied on him too.

- Is he still around, that guy?

- Yeah, he's my business
partner and best friend.

- It must be nice,
having someone like that.

I've gotta go.

- Jacob.

You know, if you ever wanna
talk or shoot some hoops--

- Maybe.

I've gotta go.

(traffic roaring)

(car horn honking)

- You have any other thoughts

about our company's official
position about StrataShare?

- No, that sounds good to me.

- All right.

I think we're good
to roll with these.

I'll let you know

as soon as I hear
something else from legal.

You okay?

- Yeah, sorry about that.

- You're dreaming
about redheads again.

- What about programming?

- [Nick] What about it?

- Should I tell them
that six months of work's

about to hit a brick wall?

- Is Frampton hassling you?

You tell him too much.

- He's head of programming.

- Yep.

Tell him to worry
about programming.

Leave the business
to the bean-counters.

That's what I do.

- Now, Chris is just
worried about his team,

and it's not like he doesn't
have any reason to be.

- If he's really worried,
he can talk to me.

Otherwise, it's
business as usual.

We're gonna beat this thing,
Tony, one way or the other.

Have a little faith.

- I do.

- Mr. Seaton?

- Sorry, Anthony; Father!

- Hey, I received the
information you sent

about the marketing elements.

Thank you again.

- Oh, you're welcome.

- Miss Stanton told me

that you were asking
about Jacob Martinez.

- I was just curious.

- Can I ask why?

- Maybe it's none
of my business.

He just reminds me of
somebody that I used to know.

- Well, look...

Well, you know, our center
does offer mentor programs.

And if Jacob is willing,

And if Jacob is willing,
I would say it would become
very much your business.

I would say it would become
very much your business.

- I can tell you from
firsthand experience,

the last thing Jacob wants
is help from someone like me.

- [Father] Someone like you?

- Someone with fancy shoes.

- Shoes?

- [Anthony]
(laughing) Long story.

- Well, look, on the
surface it may seem

that Jacob keeps his distance.

But if you do speak from
firsthand experience,

you also know that the truth
about someone like Jacob

is much more complicated
than it appears to be.

- Good afternoon, Father.

- Take care, Mr. Seaton.

God bless you.

(dramatic music)

- Hey, hey!

- Put that thing away!

(speaking foreign language)

(speaking foreign language)
- Back off, Holmes,
this don't concern you.

- Back off, Holmes,
this don't concern you.

- Oh yeah, right; it does.

This dude's already
called (inaudible) on you.

You're gonna be locked up!

- Hey, hey, it's not worth it.

(indistinct shouting)

Jacob, thank you.

Is that your crew?

- What?

- Your gang.

- Your gang.
- What are you, 50 or something?

- What are you, 50 or something?

No, they're just some
dudes from around here.

I mean, they're always
pulling stunts like that.

- What, like mugging people?

- They ain't gonna hurt nobody.

They're just stupid.

Stupid people do stupid
things, you know.

- No, I don't know.

Those stupid kids'll get
thrown in jail or worse.

You know, you'd
really be surprised.

- What?

- Yeah.

I wasn't born with a
silver spoon in my mouth.

- Born...

What?

- Where are we anyway?

- Oh, you weren't
born with a GPS?

- Ah!

Where's the church?

- It's just a couple
blocks that way.

I mean, it's not like
every building in this city

has a giant steeple
attached to it.

- Sense of humor too!

You get that hanging
out with your gang?

- See ya later, Prada.

- Hey, wait up.

I know you didn't have
to do that back there.

You coulda gotten hurt.

- So could've you, jumping in
front of dudes with knives.

Loco!

- Why'd you do it?

- I don't know, you looked
like you needed the help.

I mean, seriously,
look at yourself.

- You remember what
you said the other day?

You don't know nothin' about me.

You might be surprised.

Let me know if you
wanna chat sometime.

- Okay.

(traffic roaring)

- Hey, Anthony.

What the hell happened to you?!

- Rough night.

- Oh, rough, huh?

- What do you want, Alex?

- So, Megan and I were chatting

and she mentioned that the
rollout is gonna be delayed

because of all this
StrataShare stuff?

- Timeline hasn't changed.

- Timeline hasn't changed.
Still is in beta as far
as you're concerned.

Still is in beta as far
as you're concerned.

Same rules apply.

- See, there's the problem.

I've already been incorporating
it into my sales pitches.

- What's the protocol with
products still in beta?

- Don't sell.

- They don't sell.

- Du-du-du-du-du-du.

I've had a really bad
year, man; I need this.

- We all do, but the status
of the product hasn't changed.

Until it does,

you're gonna have to deal
with The Underground as is.

- [Alex] Yeah, that's not
really working for me right now.

- You have to make it work.

- You have to make it work.
If you can't, we can
take it up with Nick.

If you can't, we can
take it up with Nick.

- [Alex] Geez Louise, touchy.

(soft upbeat piano music)

- So, did your
grandmother remember me?

- I think her exact words
were, "That little hoodlum?

"Well, God does work miracles."

- That's better than
I was expecting.

- That's better than
I was expecting.
- What were you expecting?

- What were you expecting?

- Well, at the very least,
"You can never see him again."

And at the most, I figured
she'd wanna press charges.

- She wouldn't do that!

The statute of limitations
ran out long ago.

- Very funny.

- [Katie] Did you
mention to Nick

that we ran into each other?

- I did; he remembered
you, of course,

and he even dug up
an old photograph

that your grandmother
took of us.

- From the anniversary fair?

I remember it!

I remember it!
- [Anthony] You do?

- [Anthony] You do?

- (laughing) Yeah!

- Oh, he also mentioned
that your grandmother's

head of Stanton Enterprises now?

- She took over the company
after Grandpa passed.

You know, I think you should
still get that looked at.

It's gotten worse
since you got here.

- It's nothing.

- Being mugged is not nothing.

- I've had worse than
a black eye, trust me.

- Still, there's a
threat to the community,

people need to know about it.

- Ouch, easy!

- (laughing) They do.

But if anything points
towards those kids

being connected to the
church, it could be a problem.

We're doing a lotta
good here, Anthony,

and I wanna keep doing good.

- I know you are, Kate.

You're such a good woman.

And that kid who
helped me out, Jacob,

I mean, he really went
out of his way to help me.

I mean, he really went
out of his way to help me.
He coulda really gotten hurt.

He coulda really gotten hurt.

- I'm glad he didn't.

(Katie laughing)

- I should go.

Thank you, thank you,
thank you for everything.

- [Katie] Keep it.

- Well, goodnight.

- Night.

(laughing)

(laughing)

(soft orchestral music)

- [Father] Mr. Seaton.

- Father.

- So glad to see you again.

- So glad to see you again.
What brings you by?

What brings you by?

- I needed to talk to you.

- About Jacob Martinez?

- Sort of.

Father, I was (pausing)
mugged, attacked,

a couple nights ago
10 minutes from here.

- Oh.

It's an unfortunate way
of life around this parts.

That's why we started the
center in the first place.

But for every bit of good we do,

we have challenges
to face as well.

You said Jacob was involved?

- Only that he might've my life.

- You know, that actually
doesn't surprise me.

- Really?

- No.

You see, Jacob comes
from a broken home,

but he's tried his best to
keep his family together.

A few years ago, he started
pushing his younger siblings

into the center's program.

into the center's program.
He brings them by and picks
them up nearly every afternoon.

He brings them by and picks
them up nearly every afternoon.

- Yeah, but he
doesn't participate.

- To our eyes, Jacob's a child.

But for his family's sake,

he's had to grow up
much too quickly.

- That's a shame.

- It is, but it's
the reality for him.

It was a hard thing for
many people to understand.

- Eh, not when you been there.

- [Father] And you have?

- I know someone who had
to grow up too quickly,

and he survived.

- Maybe because he had
someone in his life

who helped him too.

Jacob, I'm afraid,
isn't as lucky yet.

- I mean, would he listen?

He seems like the type of person

who doesn't wanna be
seen as a charity case.

- I understand.

But what'd your friend say?

- Yeah, but, I mean,
I was his friend.

I mean, I still am his friend.

- There you go.

Maybe that's all you need
to become for Jacob too.

Look, I know it's a lot to ask,
but consider this, Anthony:

God put you on this path for
a purpose and you in his.

If you think he
served your life,

maybe you could
return the favor.

(train whistle blowing)

- You think it's
really that serious?

- Major investors pulling out?

Yeah, that's pretty serious.

Why didn't I see it sooner?

- Well, you see it now,

so maybe you can do
something about it.

That's what matters.

- Since we were kids,

- Since we were kids,
we always trusted each
other for everything.

we always trusted each
other for everything.

And now, it feels
like I've failed him.

- Well, maybe in a way he
feels he's failed you too.

That's the reason why

he's shouldering the
burden on his own.

Feels like he has
to be responsible

for everything all the time.

- Hey, Nick!

- Hey!

Hey, sorry I'm
running a little late.

- No problem, this
is Katie Stanton,

Mrs. Stanton's granddaughter.

- Saint Kate, who
could I forget?

Good to see you. (laughing)

- Nick Parker, I
cannot believe it!

- You can't tell me this
is the same pigtailed

freckle-faced girl we
used to torment as kids.

- I see you haven't
lost your charm.

- You thought I was charming?

- You thought he was charming?

(Katie laughing)
- She thought I was charming.

- You know, if you'd asked me

where I thought you two
would've been 15 years ago--

- Down the long
road to delinquency.

- Hey, we clean up pretty
well, don't ya think?

- Yeah, you certainly do.
- Well, I do.

- Yeah, you certainly do.
- Well, I do.
I don't.

I don't.

- You do.
- You kiddin'?

(train whistle blowing)

- All joking aside, my
grandmother was very impressed.

- How is your
grandmother, by the way?

- Not so well.

She suffered a stroke
a few years ago,

so she has to be monitored.

She stays at home now, but she
won't give up the business.

- It's hard to think
of your grandmother

- It's hard to think
of your grandmother
as anything but invincible.

as anything but invincible.

- Believe me, she still is.

- Stanton Manufacturing.

There was a company
that was a true winner.

- The new CEO has it
pretty well in hand.

If I had to guess, I
think my grandmother

would prefer to work
with her nonprofits

and leave the business to him.

- What's she work with?

- [Nick] Scholarship
programs, for one thing.

That's where I got mine.

- Oh, you know, Nick,
I didn't know that.

- Grandmother didn't
grow up wealthy.

She empathized with
those who needed a chance

to rise above their situations.

I'm glad her programs
have been put to good use.

- I wouldn't be where
I am without them.

- She'll be glad to hear that.

- You know, more
stories like yours

would really help
forward programs

like the ones my
grandmother pushes for.

- So, why don't we tell them?

I mean, we've also wanted
a not-for-profit leg

of The Underground, right?

- Yes.

- [Nick] We just never
had a cause to push for.

- And because starting a
nonprofit is not exactly easy.

- Yeah, but if we had
a jumping off point...

I mean, why don't
we tell the stories

of kids who were left behind?

I mean, the online portion,
that'd be easy enough to get up.

- Showcase the faces of
those truly underground.

- Yeah, I like that.

Relevant, it's a worthy cause.

And, I mean, how black-hearted
do you have to be

not to care about kids?

- Okay, who are we gonna get
to run this brilliant idea?

- You.

- You.
I thought you,
with Katie's help.

I thought you,
with Katie's help.

- Whoa, whoa, whoa.

- Whoa, whoa, whoa.
We cannot just pile
on another project,

We cannot just pile
on another project,

especially with all the things

we have going on at the company.

we have going on at the company.
- The company is in hand.

- The company is in hand.

But this, Tony, this is
exactly what we need,

both inside and
outside the company.

- [Anthony] And how we
gonna get the funding, huh?

- Well, (pausing)

- Well, (pausing)
I was thinking we'd
ask your grandmother,

I was thinking we'd
ask your grandmother,

only if you think though

it's something that she
could really get behind.

- [Anthony] No, we
cannot just go asking

for a bunch of money
just because we think
it's a good idea.

- Truthfully, Stanton
Charitable Foundation

has been looking for
ways to modernize.

An online initiative
that partners with

one of the biggest
social sites on the web

may be just what they need.

- Then it's perfect.

A perfect coincidence.

- Maybe there's no such
thing as coincidence.

(Katie and Nick laughing)

(traffic roaring)

Hey, sorry I didn't call
you back last night.

I was on the boat.

I was on the boat.
- I know.

- I know.

Have you had the chance
to talk with Alex

and about the status
of the company?

- Alex mentioned something
about the merger?

- There's a rumor going around

that we could be closing
our doors by fall.

- Where'd you hear this?

- Alex said he's been asked to
hold off on his fall pitches.

- Alex in sales.

He's the new authority now
on the status of our company?

Look, if there's anything
you need to know,

Look, if there's anything
you need to know,
y'all will be the
first ones to know it.

y'all will be the
first ones to know it.

Right now, there's
nothing you need to know.

- Jesus.

Black eye.

- Hey, have you seen Nick?

- He called in.

- [Anthony] What, why?

- He didn't say.

- He didn't say.
- Huh.

- Huh.

Okay, thanks.

(soft upbeat piano music)

- You know, if you wanna
learn more about his family

or the neighborhood, you
could always come volunteer.

- I don't know, I don't think
I'd make the best mentor.

- Why?

Is it the church?

- No, it's not the church.

I...

I just haven't been
a shining example

of a faithful Catholic recently.

You noticed that.

- I made a mistake, Anthony.

You're a wonderful person
and I almost missed it.

Thankfully, God
doesn't give up on us

as quickly as we
give up on ourselves.

- But you weren't wholly wrong.

I mean, after college, I
just kinda let it all go.

How do you pick up
your faith after that?

- I think, in a way,
you've already started.

- It's just that simple?

- You may not have
attended church,

but God has attended to you.

but God has attended to you.
As far as he's concerned,

As far as he's concerned,

you're as welcome
in his home today

as you were 20 years ago.

- And the people?

- What they think
doesn't really matter.

They're human.

We're all human, which
means we're not perfect.

God's love that is.

Trust in him and look to him

Trust in him and look to him
to help you work
among his people.

to help you work
among his people.

- Yeah, that sounds
a bit idealistic.

That's what threw me off of
church in the first place

is a lotta people
embrace the doctrine,

but as they walk
outta the building,

they just kinda let it go.

- Do you think that of me?

- No, you're different.

- Why not?

I've made bad choices.

- Yeah, but you're a
(pausing) Christian.

- I'm one type of Christian.

There's so many others

with so many different
gifts to offer.

But we're all human
and we make mistakes.

You know, a person who
truly believes in Christ

loves first and foremost,
loves and forgives.

Trying to remember to do that

is the challenge of
walking God's path.

- You have so much faith.

- I have trust.

God is good and
he's looking for us

to find that goodness
everywhere we can,

especially in ourselves.

You just have to have
faith that you can.

You know, maybe this
opportunity with Jacob

is something he's given
you to help you see it.

- Not bad, Prada!

- Hey, not bad?

That's a class move!

- Yeah, maybe if you're
like a hundred years old.

- (laughing) You think
you can do better?

- I'll bet you five bucks.

- You're on.

- Check.

(panting)

You owe me like five bucks
times like a hundred.

- A hundred?!

- Okay, more like 200.

But you're not bad,
for an old guy.

- And you're almost good enough

for me to play for
real next time.

- (laughing) Okay.

Dude, you need to
take about two breaths

before you have
yourself a heart attack.

- Kid, you're really gonna
need to get some new shoes

so that you can (pausing)
play basketball.

so that you can (pausing)
play basketball.
- Sure, I'll put them on my
Christmas list next year.

- Sure, I'll put them on my
Christmas list next year.

- No, seriously, man.

You ever consider playing in
Father Thomas's rec league?

You're pretty good.

- I mean, I don't have
time for all of that.

- I mean, I don't have
time for all of that.
I...

I...

I got stuff to do, you know?

- Like what, hang
out with your gang?

- Hey, hey, hey, I'm sorry.

What are you gonna do,
you gonna run away?

You think that's how
adult handles things?

- Oh, because you played one
game of basketball with me

and all of a sudden you
think you're my father?

- I don't wanna be your father.

I just think you have
a lot more potential

than those kids
you hang out with.

- You don't know
anything about me.

- I do know that you
were crazy enough

to square up with
a guy with a knife.

And I know you're a smart kid.

You don't need somebody to
tell you what you already know.

Maybe you just need somebody

to remind you to be a
kid once in a while.

All right.

See ya, Shoes!

- Thank you, Mr. Haines.

No-no-no, that sounds great.

No, well, we just need
to let our investors know

that, well, this little
matter's gonna go away, quietly,

that, well, this little
matter's gonna go away, quietly,
and the sooner, the better.

and the sooner, the better.

Yeah.

No-no-no, thank
you for the update.

All right, thanks.

Thank you, yes,
have a good morning.

Buh-bye.

Lord, I've never met anyone

who could spew as much
hot air as Frampton,

but I think I just
met his match.

- I'm sure Chris will
be happy to hear that.

Hey, where have you been?

- I had some, just some
business to take care of.

- All weekend?

- Well, you know, I thought
you'd be out doin' your thing,

so I didn't wanna bother you.

so I didn't wanna bother you.
- Why are there so many
variations being run?

- Why are there so many
variations being run?

- When this thing rolls
out, Tony, it has to work.

I mean, really, it's gotta work.

- But at three times
the operating cost?

I mean, that high--
(Nick laughing)

- What, have you
been sneaking away

to meetings with
our accountants?

- I get the budget
reports, Nick.

I can see the numbers myself.

- Look, even if this
injunction goes through,

they don't have a
snowball's chance

of making it stick anywhere.

- Are you willing to
bet the company on that?

- [Nick] Oh, come on,
don't be melodramatic.

- It seems like you're
hedging your bets on an if.

That's not like you.

- You seem really concerned

about the ins and outs
of The Underground.

That's not like you.

- [Anthony] If I wasn't
concerned about The Underground,

it wouldn't be
where it is today.

Why do I have to
remind you of that?

- No, you don't.

You don't.

But I've got this
handled, Anthony.

When did you stop
believing that?

- About the same time you
stopped taking me seriously.

- I didn't stop
taking you seriously.

Tony, you managed
that all on your own.

- [Anthony] Real nice.

(message sent notification)

- All right, what are
you thinking next?

- All right, the online
portion of this not-for-profit

is gonna be twofold, okay?

First, the online
portion is dedicated

to creating profiles
for kids who need help.

- How do we find
these kids again?

- We reach out to local
shelters, centers,

community centers, churches,

and find out what
their kids need.

- Donations.

- That's just the beginning,

but it's really so
much more than that.

I mean, Underground users live
their lives online, right?

Why not let them give online?

- How?

- Well, we let them
choose the initiatives.

I mean, it could be
anything that they want.

Brainstorming for days.

- Sounds good.

All right, phase two.

- We take it outta
The Underground.

We screen their initiatives
and help them execute.

It's like a Kickstarter
for kids' programs.

That's where the
capital comes in.

- All right, sounds plausible.

- I mean, can you imagine what
our users could come up with?

I mean, people are
always willing to give,

but in this case it doesn't
have to be just money.

It could be anything.

It could be basketball shoes,
it could be music lessons,

it could be a gym space to
start up a yoga program.

it could be a gym space to
start up a yoga program.
I mean, as long as we
monitor and maintain,

I mean, as long as we
monitor and maintain,

the possibilities are endless.

- What's your hesitation?

- Can we do this now?

- What do you mean?

- I mean, I'm not
gonna spend all my time

starting an initiative when my
focus needs to be elsewhere.

starting an initiative when my
focus needs to be elsewhere.
- Where else would
it need to be?

- Where else would
it need to be?

- On our company.

- Anthony, I told you--

- No, you didn't tell me.

You didn't tell
me about BlueSpec.

You didn't tell me
about Spectracore.

- [Nick] 'Cause it's not your
job to have to worry about.

Don't worry about
what my job is!

Why are you keeping
me outta this?

- Anthony.

I'm not trying to keep you
out of anything, Anthony,

for the last time.

- I know I haven't been

the best of business
partners lately.

- Anthony, I've never,

I've never thought of you
as a bad business partner,

but this is what I do.

I salvage things.

I make something out of nothing.

That's my gift.

You, I've watched it my
entire life, Anthony,

you take the ordinary and
you make it extraordinary.

That's your thing.

I have faith that
you'll make this work

I have faith that
you'll make this work
Have a little faith
that I will too.

Have a little faith
that I will too.

- I do too.

But faith doesn't
mean you go it alone.

- I've never thought of
myself as going at it alone.

You have my back.

You always have.

- Then why all the secrecy?

- Because people like
Alex and Frampton,

they make mountains
out of molehills.

- I'm not them.

- (sighing) Tony, I'm sorry.

If it seems like I've been
keeping you outta the loop,

I am sorry.

Going forward, that
will change, okay?

Now, will you talk to Kate
about this initiative?

- Already have.

- Don't feel like you
have to treat her special

in any kinda way.

She sorta hates that.

- Of course not.

- Of course not.
Why would I feel like I need
to treat someone special

Why would I feel like I need
to treat someone special

in this place?

- Grandma!

- Oh, Katie!

- Grandma, these were the men
that I was telling you about.

You remember Anthony Seaton.

- Oh, I remember him fondly.

And this is your
partner in crime?

I thought he might be
taller and thinner.

- This is going awesome.

- Mrs. Stanton, thank you
so much for seeing us today.

This is Chris Frampton,

he's our lead programmer
at The Underground.

He's gonna help explain
a few of our ideas.

- Well, let's get on with it.

I'm not getting any younger.

- Grandma!

- Well?

- Now, I know Kate's explained
some of the details already,

but I've prepared you a report.

And with your help, I think we
can begin almost immediately.

- See here.

Mmm!

Well prepared.

I think you may not be the
lost cause I thought you were.

- How lost?

- Not now.

- I once recommended to
his mother and father

that they look into the
exchange program (pausing)

in Siberia.
- You did not!

- Okay, Mexico then. (laughing)

Well, come on, let's go
over some of this stuff.

- Nick.

Anthony.

Looks like we got the buy-in.

- [Nick] That's excellent.

Have Chris and his team
start working on it

as soon as you get back.

All right, good work, Anthony.

- All right, I'll
keep you posted.

Have a good one.

- Any word on Miss
Stanton's upfront capital?

- No, we should have things
shored up in a couple weeks.

- Good news.

- Good news.
- Hey, any word on the lawsuit?

- Hey, any word on the lawsuit?

- (laughing) Well,
you know lawyers.

They'll litigate it
in 10 years or so.

- How about the investors?

- They're holding, for now.

- Okay.

Just keep me posted.

- I will, I will.

(soft piano music)

(message sent notification)

- I can't believe you
got this done so quickly.

Amazing job!

- Thanks?

- Yeah, dude, the
merger classic.

In any case, it's going
in my presentation today.

- What happened?

- [Chris] Dude.

The merger.

- Things in our future.

(laughing) I agree.

Absolutely, no, I can't wait
to get the companies together.

Something's come up,
let me call you back.

- What the hell's going on?

- Calm down, you're
scaring the natives.

- Why didn't I know about this?

- Relax, we worked this
out over the weekend.

- Worked it out
over the weekend?

You don't work out
multimillion-dollar mergers

over the weekend, especially
with our investors pulling out.

- Ah, but they're not.

They're back.

BlueSpec, Framecore,
Holmes & Gates,

Spectracore, all back.

- How?

- It turns out that news
of an impending merger

with the largest cloud-share
company in the market

was good for their stock
portfolios, not to mention

the better-than-expected
returns last quarter.

- Returns, we didn't have
enough income for returns!

You didn't.

- This is not the best time

to roll out a
charitable venture,

not with the merger coming.

But it's still a good idea.

We'll just shelf
it 'til next year.

- This was your plan all along.

- Of course not.

How was I supposed to know

how much Mrs. Stanton
was going to invest?

Besides, you're the one
who sealed the deal,

and you did a good job.

- And Alex?

- Alex.

Alex didn't understand.

- Oh, Alex understood.

He understood completely.

I'm sure most of this
is illegal, Nick.

I'm sure most of this
is illegal, Nick.
- We're bending
the rules a little.

- We're bending
the rules a little.

- It's insider
information, it's stealing!

Not to mention who
you're stealing from!

- Oh please, Mrs. Stanton
is a businesswoman.

If anyone in the world
would understand,

she would; trust me.

- I'm not talking
about Mrs. Stanton.

I'm talking about the
thousands of children

you just ripped out the
future from under them.

- We didn't steal
anything from anybody.

Those kids are in the
same place they were

before this idea
popped into your head.

It's not like we were
gonna change their lives

with one little online
initiative anyway.

- Yeah, sure, just like
no one changed yours.

- Yeah, that's right,
no one changed mine.

I changed my life.

I did it, and I
did it on my own.

And if anyone has
any type of ambition,

they'll find a way
to do the same.

Now, if you will excuse me,

I have a number of
meetings to arrange

I have a number of
meetings to arrange
and press releases to issue.

and press releases to issue.

Tony, I need to know you
have my back on this.

We built this place
together, both of us,

and it's our job to save
it, no matter the cost.

- No matter the cost?!

(pensive orchestral music)

(message sent notification)

- Anthony?

- [Anthony] Father.

- [Father] Is everything okay?

- Not really.

- Would you like
to talk about it?

- Not really.

- It may help.

- Thank you very much,
I really need to go.

- Well, look, whenever
you need me, I'm here.

And I don't think I
have to remind you

you're never really alone.

- Just tell him I'm sorry.

- Take care, Mr. Seaton.

God bless you.

(traffic roaring)

- [Anthony] Sit down.

- What?

I thought you'd be over
the moon at this point.

I mean, the merger means no
more threat to The Underground.

- You heard about that?

- [Katie] Underground
News Network.

- Right.

- This is a good thing.

- Right, it is.

It just means the other project
needs to be put on hold.

- Well, that's to be expected.

You're gonna have a
lotta details to work out

in the next couple days.

- No.

No, it needs to be put
on hold indefinitely.

- What?

My grandmother's investment.

(soft piano music)

Of course.

He didn't have the money for
such a gutsy move before.

What did he do, buy
off the investors?

- [Anthony] Katie, I'm sorry.

- You know what's funny?

My grandma would probably
admire him for doing that.

How much did you know?

- I didn't know anything;
he kept me out of it--

- [Katie] And now that you do?

- What?

- He basically stole that money

from my grandmother
and those kids,

and you're just gonna sit
back and let him do it.

- What do you want me to do?

That's our jobs on the
line, our livelihood--

- What about Jacob's life?

- What about Jacob's life?
That money was promised
for him and kids like him.

That money was promised
for him and kids like him.

- If I shake this up,

that could mean the end of
The Underground entirely.

- You know what?

Maybe I was right about you.

- Hey!

Where've you been, man?

You owe me like
two pickup games.

- Busy.

- Oh, so now you're
all big and important

- Oh, so now you're
all big and important
now that your company's
blowing up all over the news?

now that your company's
blowing up all over the news?

- How did you know about that?

- Underground News Network.

- Underground News
Network, isn't that great?

Isn't that just phenomenal?!

- Something happen?

It's not like you to
just skip out on people.

- Oh, isn't it?

Because you know
so much about me.

- You're not that hard
to figure out, Prada.

- And you know what?

I don't think it's actually
your business, Jacob.

I don't think it's actually
your business, Jacob.
- Oh, so you can ask me
all about my business,

- Oh, so you can ask me
all about my business,

but I can't ask you about yours?

- It's business stuff, nothing
you'd be interested in.

- Oh, maybe I wouldn't,
maybe I would!

- Nice shoes, by the way.

- They're just shoes.

- They're Js for Jacob!

- It takes two of 'em
to make 'em worth it.

Can't get very far playing
the game by yourself.

(pensive orchestral music)

(somber piano music)

- Come on, pick up.

Katie, it's Anthony.

Look, I'm at Atlanta General.

Jacob has been in an accident.

Just come as fast
as you can, okay?

I'm sorry.

This is all my fault.

- You were not the one

driving the car that
hit him, Anthony.

driving the car that
hit him, Anthony.
- (laughing) I'm supposed
to be helping him

- (laughing) I'm supposed
to be helping him

and now I've hurt him.

- No, you didn't hurt him.

- No, you didn't hurt him.
You need to keep praying.

You need to keep praying.

You gotta be strong for
him and for yourself.

- Praying; this is
God punishing me.

I made all those bad choices
and then this happens.

- What happened was an accident.

- If I'd-a been there;
I pushed him away today.

God, I abandoned him!

- Listen, you don't know if
any choice you made in the past

woulda changed what
happened this evening.

I've already told you,
this isn't your fault.

The only thing you can do

for Jacob at this
moment is to pray.

- No.

I don't think that's enough.

I don't think that's enough.
I think I need to do something.

I think I need to do something.

I have to do something.

- Well, how about you
start by remembering

that you're only human and
you're not in control here.

God is.

So, why don't you let
him be in control.

- And that's just it.

God just made all this happen

and I'm supposed to sit back
and relax and let it happen.

- You know, you can be angry
and upset if you want to.

You could even wish that
this hadn't happened.

But when it all
comes down to it,

the only thing you have
in your power to do

for Jacob at this
moment is to pray.

So, why don't you
pray for him, Anthony?

- What if that's not enough?

- See, that's the thing.

It is enough.

Now, it may not make things

the way that you
want them to be,

but it is the most
powerful thing

that we can do for
him at this moment.

Listen, Anthony,
I get it, Anthony.

I understand.

Life, it gets
difficult sometimes.

But you have to understand

how important your
life has changed Jacob.

And you gotta know,

he would not wanna see you
regretting any of it right now,

especially right now.

- You know, it's funny,

I really don't think I
changed Jacob's life.

I think he changed mine.

I just hope I have the
chance to tell him that.

I mean, in reality, I'd
say it's misrepresentation,

and you really deserve to know.

- So, that's what happened.

I'm half a mind to sue your
company for misrepresentation.

- Then you'd be well within
your rights, Mrs. Stanton.

I just thought you
deserved to know the truth.

- Well, you coulda kept quiet,
and it's not the first time

that somebody like
this has come along.

But you could've
made my money back

in a couple of months, and more.

Your initiative would
be through in a year.

Nobody woulda been the wiser.

- Just one part of it.

I mean, would you want your
granddaughter with somebody

who would just let it slide?

- No.

No.

But nobody would've known.

- I would've known.

- I'm gonna say
a prayer for you.

You're gonna need it.

- Hey, would you mind saying
a prayer for a friend of mine?

His name's Jacob and, you
know, I think he needs it more.

- You know the good
thing about our lord,

his spirit is enough for us all.

- Thank you.

Mrs. Stanton, thank you.

- Anthony.

- [Anthony] Yes ma'am?

- I was wrong.

You didn't turn out fine.

You turned out much
better than that.

(pensive piano music)

- Where were you at yesterday?

Stratashare merger, I
needed those reports.

- You know, I've
always respected you.

Even when people said you
didn't belong, I knew you did.

You were a better person
than they thought you were.

- Are you going to
lecture me now, Tony?

What's done is done.

You can't do anything
to change it.

- Actually, I can.

- And what's that
supposed to mean?

- I just wanna know why, Nick.

What did you hope to gain?

- I don't have time for
philosophical debates, Tony.

- You want me to have your back,

answer the question.

- I don't know.

Money, success, fame, fortune;

that's what this was
all about, right?

- But you had that already.

Why wasn't it enough?

- What are you talking about?

Tony, you know, I've put a
lot of responsibility on you

this last month.

Maybe it's been too much.

Maybe the pressure has
finally taken over.

- You're right, you have.

Now it's time that I stepped up

and take that
responsibility seriously,

just like you wanted
me to do for so long.

For me,

for The Underground,

and for you.

- What did you do?

- Nothing.

- Nothing.
Yet.

Yet.

I'm giving you the
chance to step down

I'm giving you the
chance to step down
and let us handle this quietly.

and let us handle this quietly.

- What?

- Next week, I'm gonna ask
that an internal investigation

be launched on the
details of the merger.

The attorneys are
already on notice.

- Why?

Tony, you're gonna destroy
everything we've built,

everything we've
worked to build.

- I didn't destroy
anything, Nick.

You were the one who
took everything we
honestly worked for

and put it in jeopardy.

And for what?

A bigger bottom line?

- You're gonna sink The
Underground, and not just me.

You're gonna sink
everybody out there.

What...

What do you think, they're
gonna come crawling to you,

saying, "Thank you,"
when it's done?

- There will be
fallout, I know that.

But I'm gonna do
everything in my power

to make sure The
Underground survives this.

Because I have faith in that
team, in that team of people

who've been with us from the
beginning, to help me do that.

The question is whether or not
you'll be part of the team.

- I trusted you.

All my life, I've trusted you.

- I've done nothing but help
you since the beginning.

And I wanna help you now.

But I can't in good faith
go along with something

that I know is wrong.

I haven't lied to you.

But I won't lie for you either.

- You, of all people,
wanna preach to me

about right and
wrong. (laughing)

You hypocrite.

- People change, Nick.

You know, a friend
of mine, Jacob,

he says you can't
play the game alone.

Well, I'm done trying.

- Go to hell.

- You know, I still
have your back on this.

(sighing) I hope one
day you can see that.

- [Narrator] What do
we want out of life?

The answer is to live.

And doing that is so much
harder than it seems,

even if you live five
blocks away from church,

like Anthony did.

The choices aren't always
simple and they're never easy,

but I think God challenges
us that way for a reason.

Our choices can't come
down to what's best for me.

They have to come down to
what's best for others.

They have to come down to
what's best for others.
Because at the end of the day,

Because at the end of the day,

his greatest commandment is
the most simple to follow.

"Love one another as
I have loved you."

Will we be shining, happy
examples of that all our lives?

No.

We're human.

We fall and we fail.

But we have the ability
to pick ourselves up again

and we have his forgiveness,

which gives us the
chance to try once more.
