Original subtitles

Both my credit cards got shut down.

Everything was in those two accounts.

All our money tied up?

They've frozen it all.

Was it Stroud? Well, it had to be, right?

You can't sell. I figured out how to get to a 100 million.

It's called "SELF."

The entire suite of services everybody's working on,

rolled into one app, powered by our network,

and that app is called SELF.

I need WiFi.

You're Izzy Morales.

No.

Come to my shop, meet my team.

We have something like ArakNet.

Shit!

Special Agent Rebecca Stroud, National Security Agency.

Contact!

Where are the canisters?

Yo. We found something.

Your network is fomenting terrorist activity and illicit crime.

You sure about this? The whole company will go down.

Okay.

ArakNet's done gone cold.

Dead cold. Damn.

We have five days of liquidity

before we start defaulting on paying our employees.

Where's everyone?

I think they quit, right?

Hi. Claudia? Nick? Yeah.

Hi, nice to meet you. Nice to meet you.

Have a seat, please.

Thank you. Yeah. Thank you for coming.

What have you heard?

I'm just a little hesitant because I've heard some talk out there about ArakNet,

it seems like it's a risky place to be.

It is. It's a very risky place to be.

But wait until you hear about our new product, it's called SELF.

And I heard you just got an offer from Facebook.

Yeah.

Well, look, Facebook's had its own share of issues.

I believe you know that, I certainly know it.

But I'm going to tell you something.

Being on the bleeding edge of tech, that's exhausting.

More than once, I've thought, "Hey, where's my offer from Facebook?"

And then I got one and then I turned it down. Here's why...

Hi, how are you? How are you?

However you want it. Let's not... Good to see you.

This is going to sound cliche,

but going in everyday

to create something like SELF,

to actually shape the future

and manifest change.

And it doesn't have to be here,

but if you get that opportunity,

it's gonna sound like a cliche, do it.

You won't be sorry, I promise.

Do not run away from it.

Because I will tell you, I am not sleepwalking through my career.

I am not sleepwalking through my career.

I am not sleepwalking through my career.

I'm not just sleepwalking through my career.

I'm not sleepwalking through my career.

I am wide awake.

You in?

I'm in.

Yeah, let's do it.

All right. Thank you.

Let's do it. You're not going to be sorry.

Thanks a lot.

We're going to put you to work.

What do you think?

You don't have to do that.

Somebody has to do it.

Bueno.

Too easy.

I won.

I let you win.

Asshole.

Am I still invited to your Mom's house?

Of course.

What if your Mom doesn't like me?

You gonna dump me?

She's gonna love you.

I've never been good with introductions.

You've been introduced many times?

Never!

No.

Hola, hola! Buenas noches.

Finally, you arrived.

Deal with your nephew, he's driving me crazy!

Wait, wait...

I want you to meet Isabelle.

I've been dying to meet you.

A pleasure to meet you.

This is Ariel and Juan.

Y'know... the family.

I've been telling Fer to bring you for ages.

I know... I've just been busy.

Busy busy. Look what she brought you.

Thank you! We'll have a toast.

Basta, basta.

What do think of the stew?

Very good.

Fer said you work with computers?

Big time. Uh oh!

She's in Cuba to work with computers?

I don't recommend it.

Well, I do work with computers...

...but right now, I'm taking a break.

Well, if you want a break from computers...

...you came to the right place.

Well...

...here I am.

Hey. Hey.

Yo.

Smells good.

Thanks for doing this here, y'all.

Sure. I love ribs.

This ain't the kind of thing that we can discuss in the office.

Not yet.

You wanted my boys off the network.

This the only way.

Uh, did you intervene?

I had to, bruh.

Ronald, this goes against everything.

Says who?

Says you?

Says me?

We make the rules.

Yeah, so, this hood that we in,

you know who this hood belong to?

I used to run this hood.

And the only reason why I'm sitting here,

only reason why my zos is still free

is 'cause I kept 'em in check, and the police know that.

So, they stay the hell out.

Now, this Stroud girl,

even if we do shake her,

they just going to keep coming.

CIA.

DEA.

FBI.

Because the bigger we get, the more of them gonna come.

Unless

we do their job for them.

And we do it better.

If we can figure out a way for us to police the network ourselves,

that way, when bad shit happen, we just call Stroud.

"Just call Stroud"? That is a terrible idea.

Just think about it. No.

Shit.

How else they ever going to leave us alone?

I don't know, but we do not play God, ever.

Even though you clearly already did.

It is a very slippery slope. Maybe.

No, not maybe. It is.

And it goes against everything.

It is what our company is built on.

Bro, I hear you, all right?

But if we don't make some changes right now,

we getting to a point where we ain't going to exist.

Ronald, Ronnie, I love you, man, but listen,

a lot of big companies have had to deal with this.

If we even pretend to police ourselves,

in the eyes of the law and the public,

we are going to be responsible for everything that happens on the network.

Mara, what do you think?

You can't be buying into all this.

Ronnie, I... This shit could sink us.

I...

I just don't see how it can work.

Hey, Nick, is this because it's a bad idea?

Or is it because it's my idea? What?

'Cause this shit right here is starting to feel real familiar.

This feels "familiar" to you? It's a...

Take my word, it's a terrible idea.

Ron. Don't be so sensitive.

It goes against everything we stand for.

If anyone finds out about what he did, we're fucked.

He's not going to cave that easy,

I can see it in his eyes.

Yeah, we'll keep tightening the screws.

No, she's still MIA.

But we still need someone on the inside.

Yes, to feed us intel, but also to get us a backdoor.

No, I've got some good candidates.

All right.

Oh, God. Are you going sober on me?

Ulcer. I think.

I don't know. Something.

Bitch is squeezing me from all sides, man.

I should've choked her out at that table when I had the chance,

would've been worth it.

Baby, you know what I'm about to say.

Oh, come on, Kel, not now, please.

There's no other good option.

Kel, I'm not going to cut and run, okay?

Those guys from Saginaw, they're watching me.

Everybody's watching me, right.

They're waiting for me to fall on my face.

They don't think I got it anymore.

Well, you're going to fall a lot harder if you let the NSA gut you first.

Look, your domestic money, it's just a temporary freeze,

but your off-shores,

all she's got to do is kick that intel to FinCEN,

you'll never see any of that money again.

Just take the loss on ArakNet.

Live to fight another day.

How many more days do I got, Kelly, come on, really?

I mean, all the shit I've put in my body,

how many more days do I got?

This is my last stand.

This is the hill I die on.

ArakNet!

Or bust.

We could homestead the money.

Just like you did with the island after the crash.

We could consolidate it all into Florida real estate.

It wouldn't solve your cash flow issues at ArakNet,

but it would keep you safe from the Feds.

But I got $11 million I got to spread around.

Plenty of properties here in Miami.

Yeah.

But you're going to have to be really discreet.

I mean, you cannot go through the normal channels.

I know.

I got a guy.

Piss off, kid, piss off. Piss off, kid.

Wesley, come on.

Your dog's trying to blow me over here.

Wesley. Come.

Here, boy, here you go. Wesley?

You named your dog after me, man? Good boy.

No, it's a rescue, it came with the name.

Go inside, boy. Go inside. There you go.

Crazy coincidence.

Come here, you son of a bitch.

You really did good for yourself, Haggie.

Yeah, it's all right.

I got it off foreclosure actually, after '08.

You're still in the business, yeah?

You never really get out of real estate in Southern Florida.

Come here. That's a good boy, Wesley.

Who's a good boy?

How's your hand?

How's your face?

Why'd you come back?

I don't know.

Leave your stuff here.

I want to show you something.

Lock it behind you.

Is this a bad area?

No, there's no crime in Havana.

It's the police you have to worry about.

Yo.

Wait...

How did you...?

She came back, like I told you she would.

Is she going to...?

We're going to convince her to help us.

The white and black are phone and electrical.

The green and blue are...

Ethernet.

Right, obviously.

They run from house to house.

Bunch of gamers, about 10 years back...

...started it so they could play StarCraft.

Now it's a black network called S-NET.

Do people use it just for gaming or other things?

Now...

...the network has many services.

There's chat...

Social media.

Email.

But it's slow.

We get packet collisions...

...double NAT errors.

It's so slow it's impossible to stream.

I want to create an encrypted WiFi network.

That's what the boys and I are working on.

Nanostations.

Expanding S-Net throughout the province.

Why stop there?

With S-Net.

Why not unlimited internet?

No surveillance. Free.

I'm talking about the internet outside.

I'd do it if I could.

Alba 1.

The fiber-optic cable from Venezuela.

Yeah, I know but...

...it's all shit.

That's just what the government wants you to think.

They want to keep it for themselves.

What are you trying to say?

I can tap into Alba 1.

I can bring ArakNet to the island.

...restrictions, regulations, stuff like that.

But the point is, we want to be able to...

We want to be able to...

Okay, so, let's just...

Hey. Morning.

Hey. Morning.

Stella, can I talk to Nick for a second?

I'll come find you.

Yeah. Yeah, that's fine.

Excuse me.

Who are all those people?

Those are our new hires.

New hires? Mmm-hmm.

Hired by, uh, us.

Correct.

Paid with what exactly?

Gummy bears?

Nah.

We ain't got those 'cause we can't even afford to restock the damn kitchen.

How in the hell you think we going to pay for...

Six new hires?

Well, in fairness,

we cut 20 employees from the payroll last week,

so that freed up some funds.

You ain't cut shit, Nick.

They walked 'cause we weren't paying them.

And 'cause you was working them into the damn ground for free.

Does Jerry know about this?

'Cause there ain't no way Jerry know about this and he cool with it.

Well, no, Jerry knows, he...

He quit, actually.

That's not true. I fired him.

"Fire," that's harsh.

I didn't really fire him. What I said was,

"If you're not comfortable with what we're doing here,

"you can go home and we'll understand."

I can't do it, man. I can't go on this way.

You trying to run shit without me.

I'm not trying to run anything without you.

Yes, you are, Nick, you wouldn't even hear my policing idea.

I'm trying to save this company from the brink of disaster.

Which I seem to be the only one doing anything about.

And I cannot launch SELF without those new hires.

You just trying to do like you always do,

and try to save all the goddamn glory for yourself.

I'm trying to do what is best for all of us.

It's okay, they do this a lot.

It's fine. Just keep working.

I would have thought my co-CEO would've asked me

before breaking the golden rule of ArakNet.

Unique situation, bruh.

Interfering with the network, playing God.

It was a little more complicated than your ass might understand.

So is running a successful tech company.

Jesus Christ.

Yeah, it's been on the market a while now.

You don't say.

Well, there's a lot of potential, you know.

You could keep it a golf course or whatever.

It's a mile from the ocean, Haggie.

The game has changed, Wes.

I mean, those places you used to move around,

I think they're out of your price range.

Mmm-hmm.

Look, it's a great residential op,

or a premium development, a getaway from the city.

How much?

Nine and a half.

All right, let's do it.

Hey, can I ask you something?

No.

Remember FinCEN?

Listen, they're coming down on everybody right now,

especially deals like this, really hard.

You don't want to mess with them, man.

I mean, if we're gonna do the thing that we used to do,

honestly, we got to take our time, we got to tread light,

we got to think about how we're moving the money,

parcel it out... Haggie, I love you.

Keep your nose out of my business.

You want to make a commission? Make the sale.

And do it fast.

Ready? Yeah.

This is the main P.O.E. for Alba 1.

Exactly.

We'll need to run a patch from there.

Alberto can do our end.

Right.

Ernesto will go there tonight and run the patch.

Pedrito.

Checking!

What's happening?

All clear.

It was nothing.

Okay, done.

Give this to Ernesto.

Alberto, come here!

We need to prep S-Net for the extra bandwidth.

Like this and this?

Yeah. Let's go!

Good!

Ready to go live?

Do it!

Come on. Come on...

You guys doing it?

Alberto, come here.

Oh, yes, yes, yes, yes...

Mr. Mezza.

Yes.

Special Agent Rebecca Stroud.

Okay. Hello.

Doing okay there, Sal?

Yeah, just got a bad cold, you know.

Were you following me?

You're a smart kid.

Immigrant parents.

You got yourself a scholarship.

First college grad in your family, you love your country,

they must be real proud of you.

So, how'd you choose ArakNet

out of all the other major tech outfits?

I don't know, I'm just...

'Cause it was cool?

Yeah, maybe, it could be.

That's fine, they are cool.

And you wanted to be cool.

But you know what's even cooler?

Working for me.

Like NSA? Like official NSA?

Eventually, yes.

But I'd need you to hold on to that job you got at ArakNet

for a little bit longer if you catch my drift.

And I'm not going to sugarcoat it, it's going to be stressful.

I mean, you and I would have to work out a communication protocol.

And then you'd have to return to work

like this conversation never even happened.

Okay.

Okay.

Yeah.

Hey. Forget the generic.

You need the real deal.

Be in touch.

Hey, this is Seymour Hagendorn.

I can't come to the phone right now.

So, please leave a message, and I'll get back to you.

Hey, this is Seymour Hagendorn.

I can't come to the phone right now.

So, please leave a message...

Hey, this is Seymour Hagendorn.

I can't come to the phone...

Hey, this is Seymour...

Stayin' over?

You tell me.

Yeah. If you want.

Fer, what's wrong?

You gonna tell me what's wrong?

I got a text from Jose. He saw you with Diego.

Are you screwing him? No.

Of course not.

Then why were you with him?

Is this not enough for you?

What?

Isabelle Morales?

I'm sorry, Izzy.

Little bitch.

What are you doing here?

Leave.

Go back to your family.

I'm sure they miss you very much.

Tell me...

...who is your foreign contact?

I'm by myself.

You're an American citizen.

Don't make me do this.

I was trying to help.

Come on, open the door, Haggie.

I see your stupid car parked out front, come on!

You're not answering my calls,

I'm sending you text messages, I'm calling you.

This deal should've gone through by now,

but I am standing here, I'm feeling like somebody fucked me.

Haggie, did you fuck me?

You fucked yourself, Wes.

I told you that was too much money to move so fast.

FinCEN jumped all over it.

You talked to your guy, right?

Your finance guy? I did.

He thought it was a bad idea, too.

So, why didn't you listen to him?

You said it had to be fast, it had to be all at once.

You didn't listen to me. Hey!

Don't take that tone with me after you lost all my money.

I didn't lose your money, Wes, you lost your money.

Ah!

No, and, hey, maybe I would feel sorry for you or something,

but you know what,

maybe you deserve this, huh?

Maybe this is what you get after years of using people,

bullying people.

You think I liked going through life

without being able to make a fist?

Look at this. Look at this.

See, no fist, no fist.

And you thought that shit was funny.

What kind of sociopath thinks it's funny to stick a fork in someone?

Huh? Oh! That's right. You.

You do because you are a sad, arrogant megalomaniac.

You know what, maybe instead of jumping all over me,

you should just go on home and take a good, hard look in the mirror, huh?

Why don't you do that?

And the thing is, before you launch your product out there,

- you got to commit to it. - Absolutely.

You got to have patience, dedication.

You cannot let your users down.

Right. I mean, I heard they worked on the SELF app for, what, a couple of weeks?

Or, like, two months, maybe? I mean, that's nothing.

You okay? I'm fine.

Exactly, it's...

So that's a million new users.

Almost a million.

Most of those on day one.

It could still catch.

It's been a week, bruh.

Mara's campaign is still ramping up.

People haven't seen it yet.

Nick, awareness is solid.

The click-through numbers are good.

People just aren't downloading it.

I think it's over.

No, it isn't.

Give people a chance to figure out...

Look, kid, just stop.

Let's get it straight.

I bought into your SELF bullshit.

Now Stroud's all the way up my ass.

But lucky for you,

this company's all I got left.

All my chips are in the middle.

So, it's got to succeed.

It's just got to.

But if it doesn't,

there is going to be hell to pay.

Are we clear?
