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.
