Let's make a line.

Contact.

Where are they?

Where are the canisters?

Where are the canisters?

Where are the canisters?

Tango! Tango! Tango!

Ambush!

Andy, get up behind them.

On my way.

I'm going to kill these guys now, okay? We'll hold.

- Thank you, Danny. - Tangos down!

Troy? We found something. Yo.

Canisters?

Not exactly.

STARTUP

What's up, Earl? How's it going, Mr. Dacey?

I'll live, bro.

You have a good day now.

Hey, Kayla, they move that lunch? I've not heard back on that.

I like those shoes.

Lats and pecs tonight.

Hey, no.

Mad fast, right?

Hey, look, bro. The train already done left the station,

but we're making multiple stops.

Hey, girl, quick question. Hey.

Y'all watch the Heat last night?

No, man. I don't have cable.

Oh, you gotta stream that shit. Don't you work at a tech company?

- Hey, ladies. - Hey.

What you working on, baby girl? I don't know.

You don't know? How the hell you don't know?

What are you doing home? I thought you was working late tonight.

I wrapped up early.

Well, I ordered takeout from that Chinese place over on Franklin.

Smell good, baby.

Was it 16?

I don't know. Whatever, it was not good.

I think I need to go for a little ride.

Ladies' night tonight, right?

We can watch a movie.

All right, dude. Fine.

Hey, man.

Hey, watch your back.

Wait, wait, wait, wait.

No!

Hey, Ronnie.

What are you doing, playboy?

Hey, man.

Likewise, baby. Likewise.

What's happening?

Where you pick this up, though?

Mayor hooked me up with a nice little bit of low-key.

Oh, low-key.

Got the new navi system with the big screen?

Thank you, Jude.

Good to see you, girl.

This is what I miss, right here.

Yeah, yeah.

So, what did they do, bro?

Office still blowing up?

Yeah. Going all right. Going all right?

Dude's stacking money like Scarface over here,

talking about "going all right."

Ain't like that. It's just a salary, that's all.

Good salary, though. Good salary.

Yeah, it is. Blessed.

What about y'all?

What's popping north of 195?

Man, action, man. You know, same old. We're living.

We're living, man.

"Living"? Yeah.

Hey, I seen that Beamer you out there with.

Talking about living loaded.

Ain't no Mazzi, though.

Tell him. Tell him. Tell him.

No. Ain't no Mazzi.

But you doing all right, though. Ain't that right?

ArakNet treating you all right?

For sure, yeah.

- Nigga, you know. - Okay.

I ain't wearing no wire, zos.

Man. We know you ain't got no wire on, man.

Ain't like that, bro.

Well, what's it like, then?

Every time I come around, y'all be acting like this be The Departedor some shit.

Just different now, dawg.

Y'all coming to Elsie's birthday?

Well, got on the fairway, at least.

Did you pull something there, Wes?

Yeah. My dick, from those pics you posted of your sister.

Oh, good. You saw those, good. That's why I posted them.

You do have great taste. Thank you, thank you.

Let me ask you something. Shoot.

IoT...

What the fuck? I mean...

What, are you guys courting a company called IoT now?

What? I don't know. What is that?

What, are we courting a company called IoT?

I-O-T.

"The Internet-of-Things."

Oh, IoT. Why didn't you say so? That changes everything.

Swing big, bro. Get after it.

Decent, mad dece.

Double or nothing? You gonna answer my question or what?

Just get in here, do some mansplaining.

IoT.

Do you know what our father used to say to us when we were growing up?

"Here's my credit card. You'll never have to work a day in your life"?

Nailed it. Verbatim.

We were in high school, and he'd say,

"You go after the hot girl with braces."

Now, nobody notices because of the... Braces.

Braces. Right.

See, she was the catch that they couldn't see.

So what do you think we're doing at ArakNet?

I'm not sure. Wired magazine fanboy shit?

You guys capped out.

Congratulations. You tricked 60 million click-baiters.

Where's the rest?

You know what?

I think you should've stuck with anti-virus in the '90s.

That did very well, didn't it, Martin?

Oh, my God. The '90s were sweet. They were good for you.

Think we don't have any upside?

Hey, what are you doing, Wes?

You don't think we can get to 100 million users?

Yeah, yeah. Totes, man. Sure, you will. Come on.

I'll tell you what.

You get to 100 mil

by the end of this quarter,

and we'll give you your little Series B.

Sounds pretty fair to me. You're on.

Thank you. Thank you. Thank you. Thank you.

You know, it was never intended to be about dissidence.

We saw a need for privacy and corporate agnosticism,

and, you know, we just filled it.

Especially since Net neutrality isn't a thing anymore.

Well, now it can be.

And it seems like there's been a real appetite, right?

Sixty million users

over the past 12 months. Thank you.

- All right, all right. - Thank you. Thank you.

Now, I know you guys get asked this question a lot,

but she's got a lot of fans here, so...

Here it comes.

You ain't gotta ask, though. You ain't gotta...

I mean, I do, though. I gotta ask.

Where's Izzy Morales been? He did it. He done asked.

Truthfully, she's a very, very private person.

She does not like doing these things.

She would hate you. Well, I don't blame her.

She hates it.

All right. Fair enough.

Can you at least tell us what she's working on right now?

Is she even still part of ArakNet?

All we can tell you is that you are just gonna have to wait and see.

Yeah, yeah. That's...

I would say that's the final word on that.

I am curious what other questions you have.

Okay.

How about that other thing we were talking about?

Oh, no, we need more time for that.

How much longer?

Hey. Got your message. What's up? Well, if we wanna make it good, we're...

How was the panel? Oh, we killed that shit.

- Yeah? - Yeah.

Lot of blogs picked it up, so there's good buzz all over.

Well, that's good, 'cause we're gonna have to get our numbers up posthaste.

Sit down, everybody.

All right. Do I have time to get a coffee real fast?

Hey, Kayla. Can we get a cup of coffee for Nick, please?

Okay.

So, played 18 with the Saginaw brothers this morning.

And the way it shakes out is,

if we're able to crack 100 mil by the end of the quarter,

we'll be in contention for their next fund.

Damn. Good.

Series B, man. Finally get you sons of bitches off my tit.

We have RISE Hong Kong coming up. That'll be really good PR.

Could nudge our numbers up a bit. That'll definitely boost us a bit.

Well, 40 million, I mean, we're going to need a little more than a nudge.

We're going to need something sexy, we're going to need something splashy.

Why don't we announce our suite of services at RISE?

No. That's not gonna be ready in time. We talked about it, but...

Yeah, Sal's team is still working on the data. So...

Yeah, my team's still working on the branding guidelines.

We have to workshop it, we have focus groups to do.

Yeah, it's a bit hasty rushing it out like that.

Yeah, of course, hasty, I mean, you know,

we've only had a year to figure out how to monetize this son of a bitch.

It's too soon for that, too.

Of course it is, man, because you guys haven't even presented me

with a semblance of a plan, which is why the only Series B investors

that are looking at us are a bunch of douchebag hedgefunders

who like big risk, and even they don't see the upside to this son of a bitch.

I mean, Jesus Christ, guys, I'm hemorrhaging money here, you know.

I've been solely funding this place for a year.

I had to sell my goddamn island to keep us afloat.

Yes, where is Nick's coffee? There's someone here to see you guys.

Who All of you, I think.

We don't have anything scheduled.

She says she's from the government, so...

I'll go. I'll go check it out.

Hello, I'm Nick Talman. I'm one of the CEOs here.

How can I help you?

Special Agent Rebecca Stroud, National Security Agency.

Okay, let me just... I'm going to go get the partners real fast.

I'll be right with you.

It was just a matter of time. I'm surprised it took 'em this long.

Well, let's just hear her out, right? Yeah.

Hi. Mara Chandler.

So, the original requests

were submitted directly to your office.

One on January 4

and the other on March 5.

Both went unanswered.

Yeah, we're not going to do that. Yeah, it's kind of against our vocation.

I'm sorry, but that's not really how this works.

With all due respect, Ms. Stroud, this is America,

and we're allowed to run a network without government interference,

so long as we on the up and up.

Yeah, your network is fomenting terrorist activity and illicit crime.

Yes, and it is a shame that those things are happening in the world,

but they would happen with or without ArakNet.

Did you try to shut down the phone company

when a few terrorists made some phone calls

to coordinate 9/11?

The NSA is not trying to shut you down. We simply seek a partnership,

- a mutually beneficial one. - That ain't going to work.

This shit here belongs to the people.

Well, people don't need to know.

Oh, come on, it'll get out eventually, it always does.

Happened to MeshCore.

MeshCore...

Yeah, that was a fun one.

Here's how that went.

Mr. Talman,

yes, I can appreciate that the FBI did release you of charges,

but the man whose money you are playing with now

has plenty of skeletons, as I'm sure you're aware.

Let's hope those don't come back to haunt your company.

And you, Mr. Dacey, it would be a big shame if I had to tie you back

to LH7 for some past transgressions.

That American Dream of yours would be over faster than

a knife fight in a phone booth.

It'd be very hard on your little girl.

So...

I will be here in Miami till the end of the week.

I hate it here.

It's muggy as hell and the people are fake.

Please don't make me stay here any longer than I have to.

What if they're able to crack the Wi-Fi card

and access a single computer?

Then they're all susceptible. I disabled all of them.

Are you sure? Yeah, we are completely hard-lined.

Whoa! Whoa, whoa. What is that?

Power this shit down, man.

Put that in your car, right damn now.

This isn't happening, man.

Everybody leave your damn phones in your cars!

Hey. Meet me at Herbie's?

Yeah. Right now.

Shit. Hi. Sorry.

Uber driver got confused. No speaky English. Okay, what's up?

Hey, Herbie, can I get a mai tai?

So, I'm sitting in my office the other day, minding my own.

Uh

And in walks this broad from the NSA.

Like, the NSA?

National Security Administration, yeah. Yeah, got it. Why?

'Cause I run a network with no oversight. They want in.

They probably already are, right? Thank you.

Apparently not, according to my CTO.

Ugh.

Oh, my God.

So, what, now they're taking legal action?

Well, they kind of can't, right?

Mmm...

Not against ArakNet.

But they could coordinate with FinCEN or the FBI.

They could do whatever they want to you, Wes Chandler, the individual.

So what are you saying? I'm fucked?

It's not good.

What are you laughing about?

'Cause you're fucked. I'm sorry. This is serious. I'm just...

I'm just laughing because of how serious this is.

Holy shit.

I'm sorry. I'm sorry.

Okay, listen. As your attorney,

I will help you steer the waters if you decide to brave them.

But as your friend, it's like,

"What are you doing?" You know?

Well, you've already sank like $15 million into this thing with no return.

Are you really going to risk, you know, all your private funds?

Wessy.

Never seen you shook like this. I'm not shook.

Okay? I'm not shook.

I'm just saying. You're already bleeding, needlessly.

It's time to stem the flow.

Yeah, easy. Easy, come on.

South Beach, push that shit. There you go. Nice.

Tight work.

Damn, I'm feeling it. Looking good, bruh.

Hey, how's Frantz and Gilles doing? Those guys, you still seeing them a lot?

Yeah, I stop in on them from time to time.

Why? No. I don't know.

They're good guys. I haven't seen them in a while.

All right, I'm going to try for six. A nice squeeze at the end.

I would also say that, you know, in light of our new situation,

if they're still using ArakNet for profit,

they should probably stop, just for a little, you know.

What? I see you.

It's a legitimate concern, right? It's my concern.

Okay, I'm just... Look, I don't know that they would, probably not,

but she did say that she can link you to all that stuff, so, I think, you know,

if they're still in the network, that could look bad, right?

That looks bad.

I'm going to worry about my business and you worry about yours, all right?

Now get your skinny ass over to the leg machine.

We're going to do legs?

Hey. I figured you'd still be here.

Yeah. Yeah, I'm still trying to get a handle on that bug.

It keeps coming back, so...

You try calling Izzy?

It's too soon? No, it's fine. She's...

Rearview mirror, you know.

You know, I always thought that you could do better.

Thank you. I know.

I ain't going to take up too much of your time, but...

You and me, we trust each other, right?

Yeah, of course. Why?

'Cause I look at you like a day-one.Yeah.

Real talk. Yeah, you, too. Why?

Babe, I'm really happy to cook.

Stop. Please, do your work. I'm going to...

It's the least I can do.

Okay, it's just that it looks like it's really hard for you.

I'm just getting to know my food. I'm laying out my ingredients.

There's a method. Okay, what's the first step?

Did you order food behind my back?

I wish.

Hey. We got to talk. The three of us.

You're not going to like this.

Dad, what's going on?

I'm gonna have to sell the company.

- What? - I'm sorry, man.

You got to start seeing it from my perspective, okay?

I'm just buried in risk

now with this NSA thing.

And I'm not seeing any reward. Okay, what about the Saginaw fund?

Kid, we're not going to get to 100. That's just...

Yeah, we will.

What about RISE Hong Kong?

You want to go, just go.

Anything that'll enhance the value of ArakNet so I can sell it.

No, I'm saying what if it gives us the jump that we need in the numbers?

It's the biggest tech convention in the world.

Look, we're just not going to get to 100, man.

We're not going to do it.

Hey, baby, I need like a quarter-cup of flour.Okay.

Morning. Morning.

You having her make her own birthday cake?

She wanted to learn.

Let me see what you learning.

Hey!

It ain't ready. Mmm! It's going to be a good one.

So, baby, you're sure it's okay that you're missing this thing in Hong Kong?

'Cause it seems important.

Yeah, baby, I told you, there ain't no way I'm missing my baby girl's birthday.

No way, no how.

Nick's got it. He'd be thrilled to do all the talking.

Well, did you remember to ask the Kipps

to borrow that splash pad thing for tomorrow?

Which one was that?

Three doors down. The one with the big palm tree out in the front.

Oh, you talking about the white folk

Yeah, no.

Right back here. Watch your step, Ron. That's a doozy. It'll get you.

So, Sharon and I are definitely planning to come by.

Yeah, all's welcome, man. All right.

Look at this. Thank you so much. I really appreciate that.

Happy to help. Hey, if you need to borrow the mower,

you know, give the old lawn a trimeroosky before the party gets started,

let me know. I just found this thing at Home Depot. It was on sale.

Brother, I could not resist.

I'm telling you, I mowed the lawn four times last week.

There's nothing else to mow.

Okay, no, man. A hand mower works just fine for me.

You sure? I am, but...

Look at these guns. You don't get those by driving one of these things, do you?

Yeah, you got to... Tamara said you might be in the market.

So, you know...

Okay, is that right? Yeah.

Well, I'll keep that in mind. Yeah. Good.

And I hope to see this returned as soon as the party's done.

You take it as long as you need it.Okay.

Happy to help. Hey, what can we bring

Wine? You look like a wine guy.

I'm a wine guy. All right. Chardonnay?

God, it's like you know me.

There you are.

Hey. Hey.

I just talked to them about the video and they're going to have it on a loop

in the lobby after the presentation, so...

Great, good.

Are you okay?

Mmm-hmm.

Yeah, I'm great. Yeah. Okay.

You're going to be great.

That's so cool, though. On an international level,

it's more accessible than Google.

Yeah, the fact that it can transcend government

and cross borders gives it a lot more reach.

So, and I know people keep asking about this, but with that sort of power,

what is ArakNet doing to capitalize? You mentioned new software in the works.

Uh-huh. Yes, we have some new applications in development.

I'll be ready to tell you about them very shortly.

Not just yet, I'm afraid.

And Izzy Morales? The question everyone keeps asking.

I have to ask.

We haven't seen anything new from her in over a year.

No one's spoken at all of what her involvement still is in ArakNet.

So?

Hey, you okay?

No, I just...

I don't know. I've been thinking about your dad and wanting to sell.

It's got my head spinning.

Don't think about that. He's bluffing.

Maybe, but, I don't know.

To walk away now after all he's put in, it's so crazy.

Well, so what if he does? What do you mean?

What if we let him?

I mean, it's not like we'll die without ArakNet.

Mara, we built this thing together.

I know, honey, but there's a whole world out there. I mean, look around you.

There's more ideas, there's more companies to build.

There's more noodles to eat. You're drunk. That's fine.

No, I'm not. It's fine.

I'm just saying, you and me together,

I'd be happy doing anything with you.

And to do something without my dad...

We'd be our own people. We are our own people.

Sir, will you please watch the road?

Actually, I have a question. I'm just curious. What is that app?

Don't. You're distracting him more. I keep seeing it everywhere.

Please just watch the road. WeChat.

WeChat Why is everyone so into it?

It's all in one place. All in one place?

What do you mean, Hong Kong? Hong Kong, China.

China? So... What do you mean?

Hey! Sir, please watch the road.

Thank you so much.

Is this the only app you have on your phone?

Yeah?

It's the only app he has on his phone.

All right, but you have to...

That's interesting. That it's all in one app?

Yeah, it's all in one app.

Hey, he coming with that meat, dawg.

Hey, you all need to get up on this.Yo. That's hot meat.

That's that special shit from my true nation, right there.

Damn.

Excuse me. Ronnie, there's a bunch of bees by the lavender bush.

Better make sure the kids stop playing over there.

I did. But I thought you were going to hire somebody to get rid of them.

Baby, we don't need no yard person. Man, I'll take care of that, chop.

Y'all enjoying that meat? Hell, yeah. Please, keep it coming.

Y'all a pleasure to feed.

Better go take care of your lavender bush.

Can't get out the hood and get a lavender bush.

You think you're funny? Yeah.

Your body's so big, I'm going to run up on you, bro.

Hey, we need to have a little huddle, real quick. All right. Four of us.

All right, this shit going to sound crazy, y'all, but...

I'm going to need y'all to stay off ArakNet for a minute. You feel me?

It's your boys here. You said I got jokes.

No, I'm for real, y'all.

There's some bullshit that's going down on the network right now.

Some shit that I can't really talk about, but this shit makes you unsafe.

You feel me?

So until we figure out what the fuck's going on,

it's probably best y'all don't mess with it. You feel me?

You're serious? Deadass.

Nah, you can miss us with all that, dawg. That's our dinner.

That's more than just our dinner, right? Breakfast, lunch, milk and cookies.

I feel you. I feel you.

I'm trying to come up with a fix right now, but it's happening in real time.

So, until that happens, I think y'all should just...

You feel me?

It ain't that simple, bruh.

Not right now is all I'm saying.

What you mean, bro?

What time this function get over with?

About 4:30.

We need to show you something, dawg.

You know, last year, we was driving your white friends around,

you know, we started talking.

How to maximize our online profits. Some of that Amazon business model.

They got their own warehouses and shit.

Holding inventory like that,

you have other smaller outfits asking you to come to them.

Feel me?

Boom. Been straight killing it, bruh.

Moving product for Big Keith,

Latin boys, outlaws, even some MS-13s.

Yeah, steady moving work.

But if we can't keep moving it through ArakNet,

we're going to be out of a lot of scratch.

And our partners, too. You feel me? For real.

We're in some shit here. "We"?

The Feds are looking into ArakNet.

NSA.

You said they couldn't see our shit. They can't.

That's why we on it.

That's why we been on this ArakNet shit ever since day one, dawg.

For real.

I know. But they know I'm a part of this shit. And LH7 moving product on ArakNet,

that's some getting high on your own supply shit.

Could bring the whole company down. And then, y'all got nothing.

All right.

This what we going to do.

We're going to pause distribution for a second, just sit on this product.

No, no, no! Look, bro. Uh-uh.

I don't know, maybe they think that you're still a part of this,

and maybe you think that you're still a part of this.

But that's where you're wrong, bruh.

Because you ain't.

Frantz...

What if I just stayed on the board?

No way, Wes. You got to cut ties altogether.

Look, if you still stand to profit,

you're just low-hanging fruit for the intelligence agencies.

Jerry, total loss, just walking away. Hit me.

I think we should talk about that in private.

Come on, man. You can say anything you want

in front of her, she's a lawyer.

Hey.

Come here. How was it?

Come on. I'd still like to be careful.

Do not sell. Sorry?

- Excuse me. You guys can go. - They're staying, okay?

Whatever, I've got AA You stay. Sit right there.

Okay. Listen, you can't sell. I have figured out how to get to 100 million.

It's called "SELF."

What, you get some Eastern enlightenment bullshit over there?

Forty-eight hours in Hong Kong, he comes back with this bullshit.

Just listen. The app.

The app is called SELF.

Why? Because everything we're doing out there,

the whole suite of services everybody's working on,

the dining app, ArakMail, ArakChat, the car service.

No, we're not going to reinvent the Internet piece by piece.

We have to make it about something bigger.

We need to make ArakNet a soup-to-nuts life service,

comprising everything you do from the moment you get up

to the moment you go to bed. Your alarm clock, your morning jog,

the music you listen to, the friends you chat with, your traffic map to work,

work itself, is all going to be rolled into one app,

powered by our network, and that app is called SELF.

Amazon, Google, Facebook,

they're all scrambling to do something like that.

And none of them can crack it. Because none of their customers

are going to entrust a single corporation to integrate their entire lives.

Too scary. But at ArakNet, we can prove that everything you do,

every digital piece of information you share with us is completely secure.

From hackers, from corporate exploitation or from the government.

It's funny you should say that, because the government, they were just here.

Yes, and they have nothing on us.

Just like Stella said. I mean, what are we doing here?

Look how far we've come.

Did we fold when we found out Axis was building Guizer? No.

No. We took them head on, we beat their ass.

Wes, you've invested so much money.

To walk away now? No.

No, we stay the course.

We will figure it out because we've always figured it out.

We always had Izzy.

You just give me three months.

Three months. The project teams are almost done with the suite.

I just need three months to shape it into SELF and run some betas

and then we will launch. We will get that 100 million users.

You will get the Saginaw fund and people will take us seriously again.

People will take you seriously again.

One month. It's got to be three. I need three.

You know what this is? This is my burn rate.

This is what I do every month. $250,000. I do this every month.

I do this every 30 days. One month.

By the way, I'm going to continue to look for a buyer,

so you can tell your little minions around here to get their ass in gear.

Okay? Bye-bye. We're done.

Okay, so those are youR marching orders. Are you guys psyched?

You should be very psyched. This is the next big thing.

All right, well, let's reconvene in 48 hours and see what you got.

All right. Good stuff. Thank you.

Really, really good, y'all. Really good.

Hey, it's me. So what do we hear from our boys?

Now, just didn't add up one day.

The money they generated from sales wasn't enough to pay the bills...

Still no back door?

Well, I'll just have to break them down. Each one of them.

I'm aware they signed a bunch of papers...

I'll start by taking things away,

little by little.

It'll be like a prisoner in their first week of lockup.

They think they still have rights.

They think they still have agency.

But one day soon,

they'll wake up,

and they will realize

they're in my world now.

And their rights mean jack shit.
