Original subtitles

I want you to tell me about your favorite place in the world.

Somewhere safe, that nobody can take away from you

My Aunt Arana's farm in Cuba.Uh-huh.

Izzy Morales.

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

You guys capped out.

Congrats. You tricked 60 million click-baiters. Way to go.

I'll tell you what, you get to 100 mil,

and we'll give you your little Series B.

You're on.

Project teams are almost done with the suite.

I just need three months to shape it into SELF...

One month.

Contact.

Where are the canisters?

Yo. We found something.

Special Agent Rebecca Stroud, National Security Agency.

Your network is fomenting terrorist activity and illicit crime.

Moving product for Big Keith, even some MS-13s.

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.

The Feds are looking into ArakNet.

Some NSA shit.

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

I'll start by taking things away, little by little.

They think they still have rights.

But one day soon, they will realize

they're in my world now.

So, if we have dinner at 8:00...

Dinner at 8:00, that's noon.

- So, you don't eat again till noon? - That's right.

Sorry, sir. Card must have a bad stripe.

Sixteen hours.

Hang on, hang on.

So, you can eat whatever you want for the next eight hours?

Yeah. Well, I mean, you still have to eat reasonably healthy,

but you got to keep in mind that that rye counts as food, too.

Oh, really? Yeah.

Oh, well, forget that shit.

I shit you not, though.

10 pounds just fell off this frame like that.

Got my magic touch back.

Oh, come on! Trying to bang junior account managers

does not mean you have your magic touch back.

Screw you! Oh, come on. They'll bang you.

They'll bang you to get into bigger accounts.

You might as well enjoy food like regular people.

Not Sophia, man. She used to turn me down left, right and center

before I got on this thing.

Sophia? Yeah.

Sophia, she's playing you like the rest of them.

She's not, man! She's not. Okay?

And I'll tell you what. In two weeks,

I'm gonna have those Brazilian legs

wrapped around my head like a pretzel.

Sorry. Mr. Chandler. Excuse, me. Uh, this card declined as well.

Are you...

It's got to be the machine, man.

- Jesus. - All right.

Relax, old man.

- We got you. Don't have a heart attack. - We got this.

What's the matter, Wessy,

things getting a little tight over there?

Need me to call you an Uber?

God damn it.

- Are you ready? - Yeah.

Oh, I'm excited.

"SELF.

Mmm-hmm.

"The one that matters."

No. Why?

No. It sounds arrogant.

It's not arrogant. It's confident.

And it's also... It's personal,

and I think it'd make people reflect.

I think it's a little aggressive.

And I think we need to think more abstract.

Something like... Like what?

Like, "Think different."

Apple? Yeah. Ever heard of them?

Jesus Christ.

We're supposed to be different.

I know, but we don't have to be assholes.

It's not about being an asshole, it's about...

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

the app itself is the only one you need,

it's the only one that matters...

It's not that I don't get it, it's just,

I think the fact that we're debating it is probably not a good sign for a slogan.

But hey, can we just talk about something else...

All right. You're right. You're right.

Cheers. To one year.

Happy anniversary.

Since that magical night. When I first entered you.

What is it?

Call your guy?

Yeah. He's headed back to the bank to check right now.

But each account... Yeah, I tried them all.

Both banks? Yeah, both banks.

- God damn it. - Yo, this shit for real?

It's looking that way, man.

Look, we don't know anything yet. I've still got some calls to make.

All our money tied up? All my money, yeah.

No, but I'm talking about ArakNet, though, those accounts?

I'm checking on that right now. Just give me a minute.

Was this her

Well, she didn't leave a note, Nick, so I'll be damned if I know.

It had to be her, right? She can't... She can't...

She doesn't have the authority to do this, right?

She hacked into my car, bro. She can do whatever the hell she wants.

Did somebody come here? Was nobody here?

We just got here ourselves.

Both my credit cards got shut down.

I stopped at the ATM on the way home, nothing.

Another bank, nothing. Online accounts...

What about the rest of your funds? You have other accounts, right?

Everything that's domestic was in those two accounts, okay?

Okay. They're frozen now.

But offshore? You do have offshore funds, correct?

They're offshore for a reason, Nick. Okay, but you have to...

You know what? Do me a favor.

Just shut the fuck up right now, okay?

Uh, okay. So, um, this isn't good. Yeah, you think?

I called my guy over at the AUSA.

A seizure order was signed this afternoon

by Chief Justice Jimenez in the Southern District.

But we can appeal, right?

I can file for one, but it'll take weeks to get in front of a judge.

God damn it, we don't have weeks. Jerry, do we have weeks?

We gotta do something, rightI'm gonna try.

Don't worry. I'm just saying, this stuff takes time.

Okay. My guy at First Federal says that the order came from a judge.

I talked to some people. Thank you, Jerry.Oh.

So, no money in or out?

For at least a month. And that's being generous.

What about ArakNet's funds?

Well, she can't freeze those. She has no grounds.

Okay. So, Jerry, what do we have now on ArakNet's funds?

We have enough to keep the lights on for a few weeks.

Okay. That's fine. That's enough.

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

No, I literally mean just the lights.

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

I'm sorry, what? How the hell did that happen?

Ask Nick. Maybe just don't ask Nick.

I'm asking Nick.

It was a fudge. It was a temporary fudge.

To empty our accounts? No. Not empty.

Payroll taxes were coming up. So, we needed to look slim for a minute.

Correct. Thank you. Damn.

You would think this is something that a CEO might consult his co-CEO with.

- It's honestly not a big deal. - "Not a big deal"?

You had Jerry cook the goddamn books!

Don't be so dramatic... Hold on. I didn't cook anything.

Hey. Hey! Hey!

I don't give a horse fuck who cooked what. All right?

I leave you two amateurs to handle shit, and look what happens.

The government comes down, lays us down and sodomizes us,

like we're a bunch of altar boys.

Do me a favor, all right?

Figure out a way to get Uncle Sam's pointy dick out of my ass,

or I'll burn this place down to the ground with you in it.

Well, if we're gonna be here super late,

I'm gonna order a pizza.

Uh, anyone have any preferences? Got, uh, Bricktown...

Domino's... Shut up, Jerry.

Okay.

Three weeks?

Mmm-hmm.

Guys, it's... Okay.

Um...

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

What changed?

It's complicated,

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

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

What Nick's trying to say

is that due to the shifting landscape

of all-inclusive suites,

it would behoove us to get SELF out to market

before the end of the quarter. Exactly.

Yeah. Okay, I get that, but it's not like we've got

a bullpen full of Izzys out there.

It's gonna be at least a month

before the internal platform is even functional.

And, Sal, your team with the apps, they're still...

What's going on with the apps?

Yeah, my team is busting their asses, but it's a lot of work.

Yeah. So, guys, it's going to be the old adage.

"Good, fast, cheap. Pick two." Good and fast.

Yeah? You said pick two. Good, and fast.

You can get more money approved then?

Sure. What do you need? Tell me.

Okay. That's easy. We just need manpower.

Okay. Can't hire any more people right now, but what else?

No, but that's what I need. I need coders.

I need designers. Sal's needed a right-hand man for the past month...

Sorry. We can't hire anyone else right now.

Even just moonlighters, that would work.

You're just gonna have to put in more time.

- More than 16 hours a day? - Whatever it takes.

Sidebar for a quick second. Why?

I've got an idea. Just... Sidebar?

I'll be back.

All right.

What's your idea?

I ain't got one. I just need you to shut your damn mouth for a second.

We need to be straight with them, Nick.

What we asking them to do... No, no.

No. People just ain't disposable.

You gotta treat them with respect.

Our people, that's all we got.

Do you know what our people are gonna do

if they find out that we are financially frozen?

Kelly is gonna get the funds released by the end of the month.

Everybody will get their paychecks.

Why you rushing if you so damn confident, huh?

'Cause maybe we don't get liquid again.

Don't make that face at me.

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

This is how we do it.

We have to prove we have lights.

Does it suck for everyone out there?

Yes. You're not wrong about that.

But if Kelly fails, and we only have 30 days left, this is our last shot.

One. One.

One. Two.

One. Two.

Your jab needs to be quicker. Okay?

Okay.

One. Two.

Remember to protect yourself with the right hand.

Okay.

One.

One. Two.

One. Two. Three.

One. Two. Three.

10 seconds.

Let's go. Let's go.

I want to vomit.

There's grass right there.

You good?

Yes, I'm good.

What if I put in my own money? What if we all do?

I'm trying to raise a family, man.

Got a baby on the way.

I ain't got much extra just lying. All right.

Well, Mara, how much can we do?

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

Everything will make a difference right now. Every little bit.

I'm telling you, bro, we need to be out there securing new funds,

not sitting in here sweating it like this.

Ronald, you don't think any new investor

is gonna wonder why our liquidity

is under government seizure?

- Maybe they don't ask. - No. They don't know.

There's always due diligence before their checks clear.

That's why we gotta go with somebody we know.

Somebody who'd look the other way.

Like the Saginaw brothers.

Well, whatever you amazing people decide,

we have five days of liquidity

before we start defaulting on our contractor obligations.

Oh, and paying our employees.

Yeah, already had a few folks asking me why their shit was late.

Wait, hold up real fast. She just wrote back. Agent Stroud.

Word? She's willing to meet us. At Nolan's.

The fast food joint?

Mmm.

You guys come here ever? Yeah, I mean everybody do at some point.

Only place I eat.

Ever?

I travel all over the world,

and it doesn't matter if it's Paris or Kuala Lumpur,

I can rely on the fact that I will always get the same exact meal.

This American institution has sold hundreds of billions of this sandwich,

and there has never been one single proven case of foodborne illness.

Imagine that.

Yeah, I got the shits real bad one time

from that double bacon burger, so...

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

I'm pretty sure it was the double bacon burger.

You know, people think that foodborne illness happens quick,

but actually, it takes about 36 to 72 hours for the strains to gestate.

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

or that scallop that did you in,

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

Okay, look here. You can't come at us like this.

This shit is straight-up illegal.

And we got about a dozen legs to stand on

if this whole thing go to court.

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

but you guys should have some pie. It's two for one.

The seizure order. No, look.

You froze all our damn money. I did no such thing, gents.

That was the FBI.

From what I heard. You can check with the judge.

But from what I heard also,

the order wasn't against your whole company,

it was just your chair of the board.

Okay. All right, fine. So, we're just doing this?

We're going to do the thing where, uh,

you just find little loopholes to go after people outside your jurisdiction.

You know as well as anybody

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

Mmm.

Well, sort of, kind of... But they could remove the order

and you'd still have problems. Not with me, of course.

More like the DEA, maybe.

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

who are still buying and selling arms and narcotics

through the same company for which you currently serve as CEO.

I may not have a back door, but with your boys,

I have a place to start looking.

I have no idea what you're talking about.

Oh, okay, well, that's fine,

'cause I don't think your co-CEO does, either,

so we're good.

You really should try that pie. It's a shame to waste it.

Here!

Okay, girls! Yes!

Keep it open! Keep it open! Keep moving! Keep moving! That's right!

Good job! Good job! Good job! Sophia, Sophia! Yeah!

Adele, go, go, go!

All right, Sophia. Yes. Good job!

Come on, ladies! Let's hustle!

Yes! Elsie! Whoo! All right!

What's up, baby

Yeah. Sort of.

Are you still on that bull with E and Frantz and them?

Maybe not talk about it right now.

We keep not talking about it then you keep not talking at all.

Just not with Els in the car. Okay?

I'm not a baby, Dad.

I know. It's just something that your mother and I

need to talk about in private, okay?

You don't owe them nothing.

They can't eat without being on ArakNet, that's their own damn fault.

That's their own damn fault.

You're not going to win.

You can't talk.

I can't lose.

So Sunday dinner...

at my Mom's house?

Fer...

it's kind of soon isn't it?

Three months is too soon?

Yes.

Please, Isabel. She's gonna love you.

Shit.

What

ETECSA closes in like 10 minutes, I gotta email my Mom.

You can't just do it tomorrow?

No because she will freak out like last time.

Fuck.

You'll drive me?

I'll walk home.

You sure?

Yeah, I got some other stuff to do.

Bye.

Can I buy a WiFi card?

We're closed.

For real?

Shit.

Hello.

You connected?

I'm not the police, I just need WiFi.

There?

Thank you.

Drop off or pick up?

I need WiFi?

Type of phone?

Sony.

How much time?

Half hour.

3 CUC.

Do I know you?

Me? I don't think so.

You're Izzy Morales.

No. That's not me.

Thank you.

Hey. Hey. Go back to sleep.

Babe, I'm worried about you. You're gonna make yourself sick.

It's okay. I'm young. I'm virile.

What about Stella and all of them? Are they still there?

Yeah. Some of Sal's guys set up cots on the floor.

Oh, Jesus.

And they still don't know, huh

Know what? That we don't have any money.

Kelly's got a date with the judge tomorrow. I'm sure it'll be fine.

I didn't see you leave. What's up with the release?

They're still working on it.

I'm going to go over it in the morning.Okay.

Hey, um, I was thinking that we should really do something for everyone.

My guys and Stella's guys,

just so they know that we appreciate everything they're doing.

They know.

Well, I don't think so.

Not everything has to be a party, Mara.

What's that supposed to mean?

It means that they're used to hard work, okay.

They relish in it. They don't need balloons.

Okay, Nick.

Come on. I'm sorry. Don't go.

Come on.

Uh, you didn't tap it down enough. What?

It ain't working 'cause you ain't tapped the grounds down enough. Look.

Check this out.

Like that.

Thank you. I can't figure this thing out.

All right. And like that. And then it's... Okay.

Thanks.

Hey, uh, can I let you in about something?

Yeah. Of course.

Are you sure about this?

We got to.

It's crossing a major line. If this blows back on me,

it blows back on all of us. The whole company goes down.

Okay.

Okay.

What the fuck?

Ferdinand! Ferdinand!

Hey!

Two beers?

It's on me.

Thank you.

Hang on. I wanna talk for a sec.

My name is Diego.

I have a boyfriend.

Listen, I need your help with something.

I don't believe in destiny but...

Leave me alone.

No wait listen.

We've been building something like ArakNet.

It's much shittier obviously.

Swing to my shop so you can meet my guys.

What are you doing?

Nothing.

Stay away from her.

Calm down dude.

Stay away.

I'm just trying to talk to her about something.

Listen, listen, listen.

No one is interested in what you are selling.

Go with your friends.

You don't know anything about your girl.

What do you mean I don't know her?

You haven't told him who you really are?

Fer. Let's go.

I just read an article about your friends, Nick Talman...

Shit.

Mother...

Shit!

Hey.

What's this? Huh

That's, um... 'Cause what it should be is a ding.

A ding is a happy sound. This is a whoosh.

A whoosh, that's a toilet flushing.

Yeah. I mean, we... We... Yeah?

We still haven't gotten to the point of...

This the level of detail? Yes, I know.

But we talked about this. The details are everything.

Come on, man. Take some pride in the work.

Hey... Okay.

Most of the team hasn't even opened

- the branding guidelines Mara gave them. - Uh-huh.

We're barely above water on the basic mechanics.

I know. We all are.

Okay. If you want a ding, well, I need people, Nick.

You want more people? Yes, I do.

I will get you more people!

Fuck!

Shit.

Easy. Easy.

Put your hands up.

Help me a little.

Easy. Easy.

Hey, I'm proud of you.

Why?

You made good contact. Put him on the floor.

But I broke my hand.

Why did you punch him?

Pass my shoes?

What was he talking about?

Isabelle?

He thinks I'm someone else.

Okay?

Okay.

Bitch!

Hi. Hi.

I finally got face-time with Judge Nunez.Mmm-hmm.

No go. She said Since the freeze was requested by the FBI,

FISA has no jurisdiction.

Agent Stroud must have friends at the FBI.

I thought you said FISA could do whatever they wanted.

If they want to. I guess they don't want to.

Hmm.

It's time for plan B. Yeah.

You pick this up, all right? I don't have any dinero.

Sure. Awesome.

Where are you going? I'm going to talk to this bitch myself.

I'm going to go ahead and advise against intimidating a federal agent.

Intim...

Kel...

I'm about to make her my best friend.

What the fuck?

This is from a friend.

Mmm.

Jesus fucking Christ.

Evening.

Thanks for the drink.

Thank the U.S. Government.

Tastes like government.

Tightening the belt.

So, look, um...

What do you really want?

You know what I want.

So, just let me give it to you and let's be done with it.

You want a front-row seat to the network?

Unfreeze my money, I'll let you get access.

How? Are you gonna get it yourself?

"How It's my company.

I would need an office inside your building,

and full-time cooperation for this to work.

I know that your other three partners aren't gonna go for that.

They have three votes to your two.

I can convince them, okay?

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

No, that's not the order in which this works.

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

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

Look at you.

You happy in this job? I love my job.

I'm sure you do.

When was the last time somebody laid the wood to you?

Such a shame because

you're kind of pretty.

Somebody like you shouldn't be so alone. But that's just me.

What do I know?

That domestic seizure wasn't even a warning shot.

I know about the Virgin Islands.

And I know what you and Andrew Talman were up to before you had him killed.

Thanks for the shitty drink.

You want a Coke or something? Oh, no, bro. I'm good. I'm good.

Ah! Bro, I'm glad you're here. For real.

Thanks for getting me an excuse to get out of the house,

'cause them kids are about to be the end of me, bro.

You see what I'm saying?

Oh, bro, I feel that. You're in it now. With all that, Alma...

She all up in my nuts talking about,

"You gotta be around more."

Boy, these are the tough years, right here.

Real talk. I'm saying. You know what I mean.

So, how y'all doing, man? How are the boys?

Miss y'all.

It's not good. Not good at all.

Nah? You didn't talk to Frantz?

ArakNet? That jar gone cold.

Dead cold. Get the hell outta here.

That business is more than cut in half.

Damn! Man, that must be some type of fluke, though,

something like that, ain't that right?

We hurting, zo. We hurting bad.

We got all this stock in the back. I can't even move it.

Damn.

I mean, I told y'all the Feds would be getting the drop.

Folks must be scared of some shit. Damn.

I mean, zo,

but Frantz talking about selling at wholesale back on the streets.

Trying to play that volume game for a minute. Feel me?

No, no, no, no, no... The streets done gone cold, brother.

That's the reason why y'all in this spot to begin with.

No.

You're talking about selling to Little Haiti.

We talking about stretching our legs.

We're trying to expand our territory, dawg.

Bro, you can't do that.

All right then, boss. What else we got? What we supposed to do?

Morning, Earl. Big Nick.

How are you doing? Good. How about yourself?

Good.

Hey. Where is everyone?

I think they quit, right?

Oh, I have not received my paycheck for the week yet, so...

Is that, like... When's that happening?

Uh, I'll get back to you.
