[alarm ringing]

- Hey, how are you?

- No, it's okay, you guys
are busy enough today.

Just keep an eye on it
for me, will you?

Thanks.
- Thanks.

- Hello, sir.
Welcome.

- How you doing, Ev?

- There you are.
- Thanks, pal.

Have a good day.
- Sure.

- Where would you
like these?

- Just to the right.
- Oh.

- Well, hello,
Derrick Henderson.

- Look, I-I really love
that video

of the dogs running
the pizza joint.

- "Pizza Portico,"
got us our first award.

- It's brilliant.
- Thank you.

- Hoping our creative picks up
some recognition this year.

We'll see.

- Well, it might be tough.

I mean, they usually
give awards

to campaigns that
demonstrate innovation.

- Wait, what are you saying?

- Fancy cars speeding
through the desert

set to dubstep music
is a little tired, no?

- Good morning,
Mr. Powell.

- Thank you, Adam.
- Sir.

- Well, it's a car commercial.
- D,

Bob Rosen is here.
You should meet him.

Ho ho, and I should meet you.
Hi.

- Looks like you guys have
some big fish to reel in,

so I'm gonna go.

- Right.

- Darby, are you gonna leave
without saying hello?

- Sorry.

- Have you thought
about my offer to come back?

- Yes, and I've given you
my answer.

My company is doing great.

Things are best the way
they are, Nolan.

- Nolan?
W-what?

What happened to "Dad"?

- And we even got a fantastic
review in the trades.

One website actually named us
Ad of the Day.

I don't know if you remember
meeting Caleb, our account exec?

- Yeah, hey.
- What's up?

- Hey. Cool.
[laughs]

- I emailed
those portfolios.

- Thank you,
and don't forget

about agency paintball
tomorrow night.

Please, take a seat.

- Yeah.

- [sighs]

You know, our ad really put
Brenner Soda on the map.

Your videos are viral,
hashtags are trending--

- And our sales are up,
which I'm sure

your research team
probably told you.

- We can't wait to get started
on the next campaign.

- Uh, Darby?

We met with
the Nolan Powell agency.

They've offered us
their services for the same fee

we pay you.
- Oh.

- So we open
on this beautiful beach.

People are frolicking, and
they're drinking Brenner Soda.

- We think a celebrity
endorsement'll make the brand

seem more upscale.

- You have any names in mind?

- Well, most of their market
share are moms looking to save

money, so we think
if we get a celebrity mom,

then that will just connect
with their demographic

immediately.

- All right, let's go.

We're gonna make this
as fast as possible.

I want to be in and out.

- Okay, let's do this.

- Hey, hey, where you going?

Darby!

Hey, come back here!
- Oh,

it sounds like my beautiful
daughter has joined us.

- Darby, Darby--

- Reggie, I don't need
an appointment to see him.

I am his daughter.

- I'm guessing she's found out

that Brennir's dumped her
for us.

- I need to speak
to my father.

- You gonna talk to her?

- Look...

I got the people from Brenner's
in my office right now.

We're signing contracts.
This is kind of awkward.

I want you to stall her until I
can get them out of here.

- Well--

remember this at bonus time.

- You tell him he stops poaching
my clients or I will sue.

- Okay, okay.
I'll take it from here, Reggie.

Thank you.

Look, no one's suing anyone.

- Bring Nolan down here.
- He's in a meeting right now.

- With one of the clients
that he stole from me?

- People are trying to get
some work done here.

Take a walk with me.

- I'm sorry.
I don't think that we've met

because I would not forget
a face like that.

- Really?
- Was that a little clunky?

- You tell him to stop
trying to ruin me immediately,

or there will be a war.

- Okay, look,
before you launch your attack,

remember that happy clients
don't leave.

- Whatever helps you sleep
at night.

- I'm ju--
- Oh,

this used to be in my office.

I'm taking it back with me.

- Come on, Sarah.
Let's go.

- Oh,
but you just got here.

- Wait up, Darby.

- Well, it looks
like Hurricane Darby has hit.

Even the vegetation
isn't safe.

- I'm taking back my plant, and
then I'm taking back my clients.

- Could you give us a minute?

- Nolan, this is unbelievable.

At least have the integrity
to look me in the eye

and admit it.

You're picking off my clients
one by one.

- Yes, I am.
And it's not easy.

They really love you.

- Well, at least somebody does.
- Don't say that.

I'm your father.
Of course I love you.

- A father shows love to
his daughter by supporting her

and praising
her accomplishments.

- I want to buy you out.

- I left so I could make a name
for myself, on my own.

- And you have.
Darby...

you've got a reputation
in the business.

- Yeah, and instead of
a "congratulations," I'm getting

sabotage
and corporate bullying.

- I know that you're gonna
have to lay off some people.

You're in a tight spot.

So you take my buyout offer,

and you all become part
of the team.

- You can keep your plant,

and you can keep your offer.

- Maybe we could do
a crowdsource fund

to make
next month's overhead.

- You have to let
some people go, Darby.

No way around it.

What choice do you have?

play ball within our system?

Or are they here
to do their own thing?

- I'm just not exactly sure
our cultures are gonna mesh.

- You're my right-hand man,
Derrick.

I'm counting on you
to make it work.

- Okay.

This is your office,

will have the desk on that side.

Now, it is 10:00 A.M.

Did you give them

- Can I get you anything else,

- A one-way ticket to Hawaii?

- It's good to have you back.

- Then what?
What's our button?

- Oh, they pitched
that we have celebrities

talking about staying connected
using our communications app.

- Sounds familiar.

- It sounds dated
and completely unconnected

to how our consumers
can use our software.

Look, Brant,
this isn't going to work.

And I don't need to tell you
about losing market shares.

- All right.

Reach to Omega,
HP Mallevoy,

See what they come up with.

- Well, we need to reach
a younger demographic,

don't really

come to mind when I think
about new and fresh.

- You bring in whoever you

- Good morning.

Or maybe I
should say almost lunch.

Is that a karaoke machine?

- For Karaoke Tuesdays.

- Tuesdays are for

Ahem.
Let me be the first

to officially welcome you
to the Nolan Powell Agency.

- Sorry, I don't make small talk
before my morning coffee.

- Need something?
- Instruction manual

for the cappuccino machine.

I guess I'll just
have regular coffee.

- Oh, no such thing.

If the lady wants a cappuccino,
then that's what she shall have.

- Are you having some?

- I don't drink coffee.

Seeing a beautiful woman
like you gets my day

started on the right track.

- I'm just here to do my job.

So if you feel the need
to do any buttering up,

save it for your toast.

- Well, all I wanted
was a smile.

Allow me.
Oh!

- [chuckles]
There. Got me to smile.

- Even my furniture
annoys you.

- Yeah.

Reggie told me
that you had these legs

shortened so that whoever's
sitting in this chair

feels like they're
in less of a position of power.

- Yeah, what else
did Reggie tell you?

- I feel like she's keeping
all the good ones from me.

- How are you adjusting?

- I don't know how you want
me to answer that, Nolan.

- Give it a chance.

Things are gonna
be different this time.

Really, I'm not trying
to hurt you.

Just the opposite.

- Hey, you wanted to see me
boss? Oh, sorry, I'll come back.

- No, please.
Come in.

Come in.
Have a seat.

I want to talk to you both.

I hear that SuntraSoft
is looking for a new agency.

- Right, I heard.
- That's a $200 million account.

- And I want it.

Word is
they want to rebrand.

SuntraSoft wants to become
a household name.

They're looking for ways
to make that happen.

- Pam Davis is the VP
over there, and she's tough.

- Rumor is that she's also
looking to work with someone

more edgy.

- Well,
then she'll want nothing

to do with
the Nolan Powell Agency.

- I know we can give
her everything she wants.

- Really? Because when you
really think of edgy,

you don't think Powell,
so in that case you--

- Who really thinks of edgy?
When I think--

- We got to come up
with a plan

how we're gonna
make this happen.

It's not gonna be easy.

I also understand that they're
only gonna be seeing a couple

of firms for formal pitches.

- Well, how do you plan
to get in there?

- Not me.
You two.

- I know that I
would be much more successful

with my own team.
- I agree.

I don't need her help.

- Not up for a debate.

I want my top two people
on this.

Understood?

- Yeah, call over there
right now.

Don't lose any time
on this one, okay?

Bye.

- So we've got the most sought
after account in the city,

with a VP of marketing
who's already biased against us.

We need to make
a killer proposal.

- Well, I already
got my research team on it.

We can get something to Pam
by the end of the week.

- I think we need to go
talk to her in person.

- That's not how you get in
to a review of this size.

- That's what everyone
else will be thinking.

So I think we need to just
go for it, get in there,

convince her to let us pitch.
- Whoa, whoa, whoa. Hold on.

There's rules for how you
go about things at this stage.

- Right, and we follow
those rules, our proposal

will end up in the trash with
the 50 other identical ones.

- Look, Darby, I don't think
we're going to agree on this.

- Nope.

- So what do you suggest?

- I suggest that I
attack the pitch with my team,

and you should do the same
with yours,

and then we can watch and see
how the chips may fall.

- Two separate pitches?

- We'll both be working on it
just like Nolan insisted.

- I'm pretty sure
that's not what he meant.

- What's the matter, Derrick?

You afraid
of a little competition?

- You are way too little
to make that jump.

You're gonna try anyway.
[chuckles]

Oh, God.
- Evan?

- Don't sneak up
on people like that.

- A kitten video?

- No.

Yes.
I don't know.

It's for a campaign, maybe.

- Oh, what's the product?
- The product.

Um...appliances.
- You know,

it's actually perfect
that I'm running into you.

I know we're on different
sides of the aisle

with Darby and Derrick,
but we have to get along.

- That's very true.

- So I was thinking
we open a back channel.

- On the down low?

- Something like that.
Strictly business.

Enjoy your kittens.

- I wasn't enjoying them.

Just so you know.

- Are these dresses
you're thinking of?

[gasps]
Gaby, they're beautiful!

You are gorgeous.

You know that, right?
- For real?

- For real.

- Hi, Grandma.
What are you doing here?

Class isn't over
till another half hour.

- I have a surprise.

I was able to reserve the center
for your quinceanera party.

- Are you serious?

We can have it here?

- Yeah, you're booked
for the 21st.

- Thank you so much, Grandma.

Are you coming?
- Of course, I wouldn't miss it.

- Darby wants to start with
face-to-face with Pam Davis.

- Well,
how's she gonna manage that?

- I have no idea.

She is unorthodox, man,

but she's smart.

- I couldn't tell if the woman
in front of me

was working her abs
or having a seizure.

- Look, we need to talk
about SuntraSoft, ASAP.

- Mm, tell me. Does the loser of
your and Derrick's little wager

have to wear a gorilla suit
to work?

- No, the stakes
are much higher than that.

I mean, it's about not letting
Nolan crush my voice.

I mean, everything to him
is about selling software

and soft drinks.

- You think she could be
after my job?

- Are you paranoid much?

Look, as far as I can tell,

she really doesn't
even want to be here.

I think you're reading way
too much into this, man.

- And do you think playing
into your dad's games is going

to help with that somehow?

- What am I supposed to do?

Just go along with Derrick's
tired proposal?

- No, but if our team
is gonna coexist here long-term,

we need to figure out a way

to make this transition work
for everyone.

- Look, I have
the outmost respect for Nolan.

I do.

But she's a chip
off the old block.

There's a lot going
on beneath the surface there.

- All right.
Well, other than Reggie,

there's absolutely no one

I would have taken over
to Hypester with me.

- Some of them seem nice.

I was talking to one
of the account guys

and slightly obnoxious
but harmless.

- You think her here,
with all of her people

in house, do you think
that bodes well for us?

- I don't know. I kind of
like some of the new people.

- Hey, do me a favor.

Please try to keep your distance
just for now.

- All right. Well, just keep
your guard up because as of now,

it's still
us against them, okay?

- You got it, brother.

- Good night, Pam.

- Good night.

- Just the lady I wanted to see.
Can I help you with those?

- Oh, Nolan Powell.

- Ah, Pam,
it's been a while.

- That basket
is from your agency, I believe.

You can have it back.

- I didn't know that my team
had resorted to bribery.

- Not to mention stalking.

Although I see
where they get it from.

- At least
it's from Michael Amarla.

You got to admit
they got class.

- I met with your daughter
and your creative director.

They had a tiff
right in front of me.

Look, I'm only bringing in
a few agencies to pitch,

and I really wasn't
impressed by them.

- They're very passionate
about their ideas.

Isn't that the kind of team
that you want on your side?

- I didn't get a sense
that they were a team at all.

- Oh, Derrick is my right-hand
man and Darby, you watch.

She's gonna emerge as one

of the most influential
trendsetters in the business.

- I have to admit,

I was impressed with what she
was doing at Hypester.

- She's only gonna get better
with the resources of Powell.

- It is sweet
that you go to bat for her.

- Thanks. I have a history of
striking out in that department.

- Okay. Listen, I'm going to be
at the ad agency luncheon,

and if your people are there,
perhaps we could chat.

- Perhaps.
- And only if they're civil.

- Looks great.
Everything looks good.

All right,
let's finish up chapter seven

and then hop over
to eight, all right?

Hey, Gaby, you okay?

What's wrong?

- The center fell
through for my quinceanera.

Turns out they needed to
replace the pipes or something.

- Oh, Gaby, I'm so sorry.

- My grandma has been trying
to find another place,

but everything we could afford
is already booked.

- All right.
Just give me some time, okay?

I'll look into some things.

We're gonna
find you a better place.

Everything's gonna be amazing.
Okay?

You're gonna
have an incredible time.

- What's good here?

- Ugh. Well, obviously
not their proofreading skills.

- You are so terrible.

- What, you mean like the art
we just saw?

- Ooh, harsh.

- Oh, come on.
You're an artist.

A gallery of your photographs
would have been way better.

- You were finally being
real with me,

and now you're back
in flattery mode.

- And I still say you
show your stuff

to Darby with those skills,
girl.

Come on.
- I told you,

I want to keep my photography
separate from work.

Besides, Derrick's making
her crazy right now.

- Making her? Seems
like a preexisting condition.

- Hey, Darby's my friend.
- Yeah.

And Derrick is my--you know,
he worked his way

up from nothing to get
that position at the firm.

And Darby just waltzes on in
and shakes everything up.

I mean, if you ask me, he's just
protecting his interest.

- Darby didn't want
any of this.

- Then she should let
Derrick take SuntraSoft.

- Not her style.
- Well...

if they can't work together
and neither one will back down,

I'm afraid
this could get brutal.

- All the more reason

we definitely can't
tell them about this.

- This what?

- This, seeing each other.

is that what we're doing?

'Cause I really hope it is.

What do you mean?
Well, what are you doing here?

There's this great dim sum place

to be right near here.

- No, I mean,
I guess it's a coincidence.

What are you doing here?
- You know,

you may be a good schmoozer,

but you're a terrible liar.

- Yeah, I followed you.

I thought you might be
meeting up with Pam.

- That is so messed up.

- I know.

I know.

This whole thing
has me a little off balance.

Hey, I didn't know

- Yeah, it's a program
for high school girls

to prepare them for careers
in media and tech.

I've been running it

How do you find time
for that?

- Having no social life
certainly helps.

- That'll do it.

such a handsome boyfriend.

- Oh, no.
He's not my boyfriend.

- No, we, uh, we work together.
- Yeah.

- But actually, I will--I will
take that handsome compliment.

- I'm Gabriella.
This is my grandma, Elena.

- Pleasure.
- Derrick Henderson.

I assure you,
the pleasure is mine.

- Gaby told me about the rec
room falling through.

- I'm sure we'll find
an even better place

Same time next week?
- You got it. 7:00 a.m.

tee time.
Aren't we lucky?

- Yes, we are.

- See you, pal.

- Seems like you and Brant
had a very productive morning.

- No, just catching up
with an old friend.

- You went over my head

to get yourself
a pitch meeting, didn't you?

- Pam.
- Well,

you do realize that everything
still needs to go through me.

- I understand that nothing
happens if you shoot us down.

- Well, it's quite a gamble,
taking a chance

of alienating me.

Stacking the cards
against your agency

even more
than they already are.

- I've developed a pretty keen
sense of when to gamble.

- Manipulating people
is a sticky game.

It rarely goes as planned.

- Pam, we just
want to make you happy.

- Look, so far, I have heard
very few real details

and whole lot of bickering
from Derrick and Darby.

Needless to say, your team
hasn't impressed me.

- I understand that.

That's why there is
no more team.

- What do you mean?
- I strongly

believe that Darby can handle
what you're looking for.

She's going to be
making the pitch on her own.

- Hmm.

- And then we show
how SuntraSoft

could've changed
their lives.

- And we'll have a link
to our webisodes

with our historic
and literary characters.

- Honestly, I think Pam's gonna
be blown away.

- Yes.
- My man. Yes.

- Good stuff.

- Mm.

- What?
- Just something

about these backgrounds
that I'm not feeling.

I feel like there's just
something--

it just needs something else.

- Whoa, wait a minute.

Wait a minute. I think Sarah
might have something we can use.

- Yeah. That one.
- Wow, that's really impressive.

- Because you were talking
with the clouds,

and you wanted something
to fill it in.

- Yeah.
I had no idea she had this.

- We can use that.
- Yeah.

- Pam would love this.

I mean,
she's got this great sunset.

- Uh-huh.
- It's just one after another.

- I can't believe that.
- We could use these.

- Evan, what are you doing?

- I was pitching you
as a photographer

for the SuntraSoft
presentation.

- Your work
is really impressive.

I think we
could definitely use it.

- I told you specifically
it was just for me.

You went behind my back?
- Well, if you're not gonna sell

yourself, I mean,
somebody has to.

- I thought I made it clear
I wasn't interested in selling

myself.

- Are you guys friends?

- Apparently not anymore.

And I thought I
was doing her a favor.

- Wait, I--maybe just
give her a little bit of space.

- Well, that was awkward.

SuntraSoft, and you will,

it will be the single
greatest success in your career.

Please, I'm sorry,
please sit.

Look, sweetie, I'm getting
to the point in my life

where I have to start

facing the fact that this
isn't gonna last forever.

I have to think about
my legacy,

and I want you to be a part
of that legacy.

You'll bring your creativity,

you sure got awfully mad at him.

I didn't want people to know
in case things fell apart.

- Well, at least he doesn't
think you're a backstabbing,

hypocritical daddy's girl.

- Derrick called you that?

- No, but he thinks
I conspired with Nolan

to kick him
off the SuntraSoft pitch.

I can't believe
he thinks I would be

capable of something
like that.

- Put yourself in his shoes.

Darby, this is your dad
manipulating both of you.

this is the first time

I've ever felt respected
by Nolan,

the first time I feel like
he actually wants me

to be a real part
of his life.

- But if this is his way
of making that happen--

- I don't know what to do
in this situation.

- I think you need
to consider

the price of the offer
on the table

and the possibility that Nolan
is trying to make you

into something
you don't want to be.

- I mean, she couldn't
even admit it, though.

She lied right to my face.

you two when you were pitching.

I mean, that was real. Look, you
got to give it a minute, man.

I already made contact.

The next opportunity I get,
I'm out of there.

- But don't be so hasty, D.

anyway.

you've barely even
given her a chance to explain.
