Original subtitles

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

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

This company's all I got left.

All my chips are in the middle.

I'm just curious. What is that app and why is everyone so into it?

It's all in one place.

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

The entire suite of services everybody's working on,

rolled into one app,

and that app is called SELF.

Google, Facebook, Amazon...

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.

You're 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 heard it. It's just a bad one.

You want a front-row seat to the network?

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

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

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

Are you sure about this?

We got to.

The whole company will go down.Okay.

ArakNet done gone cold.

Dead cold. Damn!

Frantz talkin' about selling at wholesale back on the streets.

The streets is dried up. You talking about Little Haiti.

We talking about stretching our legs.

Jose texted me.

He saw you with Diego.

Is this not enough for you?

Isabelle Morales?

Who is your contact?

I'm by myself.

How bad has it been here?

I've never been in a Cuban prison,

but you hear things.

Special Agent Rebecca Stroud, National Security Agency.

I'm here to negotiate the terms of your release.

The thing is, they've only got you

on suspicion of conspiracy.

Now, of course, they want me to corroborate that suspicion,

and give you up for political bait.

You'd spend the rest of your life here.

Or you could give me ArakNet.

See, you built it.

You can break in.

I can't just break in.

It's not that simple.

No.

It's not, is it?

No.

I mean,

it's grown.

Without me.

It's...

I'd have to be there,

in Miami, at ArakNet.

Well, that sounds like a plan.

Your payroll,

it's shot.

Nick has sunk the rest of your developmental funds

into that SELF bullshit.

That's a major fail.

Correct.

And FinCEN's a dog with a bone on that injunction.

Judge won't even take my call.

You got any actual ideas,

or are you just gonna keep cheering me up like this?

Yeah.

I think you gotta go to Barcelona.

No, I can't go to Barcelona.

You don't want to go to Barcelona... I can't go to Barcelona.

...but you might have to go to Barcelona.

Kelly, come on. I can't. Come on, Kel.

Look, even if I go to Barcelona, I come back with the money,

the Feds are still putting a button on it anyway.

Okay, so you put it in crypto.

Right?

Listen to me.

You gave Charlotte that money to hang on to

for situations like this.

For situations that are exactly like this.

I don't mean to be a dick, but fuck your feelings.

It is time to put the past in the past.

I am so sick of hearing about this woman.

So, just go see her,

get your money, and then shut it down.

Fucking Barcelona.

Fucking Barcelona, man.

I've never had my identity stolen before.

Like, ever.

Usually when I buy something from somewhere unusual,

my credit card company just e-mails me.

- So... - Yeah. Amazon, Apple,

pretty much everywhere guarantees that security.

- So... - Exactly.

Yes. But do you trust them all?

Sure.

Okay.

But what about your e-mails, your chats...

Texts? I mean, who's reading those?

You know. Like, am I supposed to worry about the dick pic

that one of my boyfriends sent me last weekend?

All right. Okay. Sure. I don't have boyfriends.

But corporations, they spy on you.

To sell you stuff.

Yeah, but I like when they send me ads.

They've got really good deals.

So, again, I really don't care.

Wow.

Net neutrality dead. Data mining on the rise.

And still... They're sheep.

They're comfortable.

Devil they know. I mean...

Remember Cambridge Analytica?

People stuck with Facebook. Because it was familiar.

It's human nature. I guess you can't change that.

Yes. Yes, we can.

Babe.

Maybe we just rushed SELF to market

because it is good.

Stella did a good job, you did a good job.

But maybe we misread our audience.

And maybe that's on me. We did not misread them.

They just... They don't know what to think.

All right. Well, my budget's tapped out on this.

I don't think it's about marketing either.

I think it's about changing the actual paradigm.

Changing their minds about today's Internet,

so they can see ArakNet as tomorrow's.

That's some good copy right there.

You see what I'm saying, though, right? I do.

I do. But I don't know.

Unless, like, every major tech company in the world

came out and admitted

that they use the Internet to manipulate us

and the way that we live our lives, then...

I don't know.

You're just gonna sit there?

What happened to your arm?

Just an accident.

Ladies and gentlemen, this is the last and final boarding call

for Flight 1520 to Barcelona.

I know that from our preliminary chats

that she wasn't really down with this,

but I think it's something that we need to take another stab at.

Now, Stella's been hard at work on a software update.

We're calling it the police program.

Yeah, so it's like your credit card company.

They have measures that identify strange transactions,

or purchases that are outside of your normal geographical pattern, right?

Although, ArakNet, obviously, doesn't have a central ledger,

there is a way for ArakNet software to send intel back the other way.

Only to us.

And it'd only be based on anomalies,

or potential dangers.

Things that, you know,

raise a red flag.

Yeah.

Is it that you thought I wouldn't make a big deal of it

in front of everyone?

You all knew what our purpose was when you came aboard.

You knew what this company stood for.

We stand for the same thing, bro.

Not like this.

We do not get to 100 million

by shattering our credibility.

This is about sustainability.

We are a neutral network.

We are... We fucking sell ourselves on that neutrality.

Why is that so hard to understand?

Sometimes companies have to evolve, Nick.

Look, I know it was hard to consider it when Ronald first pitched it to us,

but right now,

it's the only way I can see appeasing intelligence agencies

without giving them an office here. Oh, my fucking...

Okay. I am the co-CEO, I do not endorse this.

I don't!

And if any of you gave a shit about what we're trying to do here,

you wouldn't either.

Hey.

Just 'cause homeboy threw a tantrum in there,

that do not mean I'm giving up.

We're clear? Yeah.

Is that what you told her, dawg?

You can tell him I said that shit.

What's up, yo?

Boss.

Frantz. How do you do, homie?

What up, pal?

Cheers, folks.

What'd he say?

What'd who say? Big Keith.

He gonna loosen up the belt a little?

No. He don't owe us shit.

He's square with us.

So, what we supposed to do?

Thinking about it.

And we can't sit on this product no longer, dawg.

I said I'm thinking, zo.

Big Keith and them boys, they ain't even up by the river no more.

Ever since they got on this ArakNet shit,

their block's been sittin' wide open.

Fo sho. Fo sho.

I took a drive yesterday, too.

Where? North Beach.

- Hallandale. - Yeah.

- They all sittin' empty. - Hallandale?

That's Declan turf.

It don't matter if he own ArakNet or not,

we can't get down with that, bro.

What are you talking, man? Declan ain't shit.

Man. Grab a couple young jits

and run 'em off them corners.

Ain't shit.

The real talk, dawg.

Real talk. I don't know about that, bro.

What you worried about?

Jesus! How long have you had your coffee?

Oh, God! Just a minute, I need to...

Excuse me. Excuse me.

Yeah? I'm still waiting on my drink.

What'd you have? I had a latte.

It was just the same as hers. Okay, let me check.

Just a regular latte?

Yeah. Just a regular latte on the same...

Same order. It was two. Same order as hers.

Yeah, we ordered two. Just one...

Yeah, when we came we ordered it together,

but we're just waiting on one. Okay.

I'll make it for you right after I finish the other order, okay?

Wait, wait, wait. Why don't we just make it instead

and then put that order on hold. We'll do that order after,

since I'm sure that I ordered before... I cannot...

You definitely can. You have the authority.

Hey, she made a mistake. Sorry, we're very busy.

I'm gonna finish this order and then I will be right with you.

Ah... There's the problem.

Clearly, you skipped over me, forgot me.

Okay. But that's why what we do to correct the situation

is make the latte now.

Do you want a refund? I don't want a refund.

It's too late for a... I would have loved a refund if...

I would love a trip back in time so I could not come here anymore.

But it's too late for that, so I just want the latte.

I will be right with you when I finish the order.

You shouldn't have to finish an order, you should be right with me now.

That's the whole problem. You know what? Nick, stop!

Okay. I'm sorry if this is insulting to you,

but this is why you work here. Nick!

If you were curious. If you had other dreams, this is why.

Nick! Okay?

Was that rude?

Okay, look, I know that you're stressed out right now...

Why did you go behind my back?

What?

I told you both it was a terrible idea

and you told him to go through with it. Didn't you?

No. No, I didn't. I don't know what you're talking about.

All you guys. Stella, too.

You're all... "All of us" what, Nick?

You think that we're all conspiring against you?

Is that really what you think?

No. No, honey. We're just trying to figure this thing out, okay?

Yeah. Yeah. By going behind my back.

I am the CEO, Mara!

Why do you keep saying that?

Because I keep having to!

Am I just a joke to you?

Is that it? Am I just a fucking joke?

So,

how does it feel to be back?

It's nice?

Land of the free and all?

Who would you say

is your closest ally back there right now?

They're not gonna give me my job back.

Not after everything I did.

It's a little past 12:00

and I could have you back on a plane to Cuba by 3:00,

if that's what you prefer.

So, who's it gonna be, Isabelle?

Who is your very best shot at getting back in?

We do need all passengers... Yeah.

...in their seats with their seat belts fastened.

Hey, it's me.

I'm here.

In Barcelona.

I had to...

I had to come by and check out

that shipping venture I mentioned to you a while back.

Those boys are gettin' a little comfortable,

you know?

So, anyway...

I'd love to see you,

you know, if you got some time.

So...

Give me a ring.

Hey.

Wes.

Nice to see you.

You, too, V.

Why don't you come in?

We were just about to have dinner.

Really? Well, that's very neat.

See, that's what I admire about you, Wes.

You've never been afraid of taking risks.

Well, you've taken some risks, Vagner.

All those galleries you've opened, right? Well...

I don't know about that.

And what about the shipping venture?

You had to fly all the way to Barcelona to check in?

No.

Well...

I should do the dishes.

Thanks, Wes.

I have a joint.

Easy to see why you stayed here.

How is she?

Mara?

She's everything.

You know, she's really taken to this ArakNet venture.

The whole thing would be shit without her.

So, she's good? She's great.

She's great.

Her and one of the creators.

They have a...

A little thing going.

What's he like?

Nice kid.

Little jittery, but I think

there's a backbone in there somewhere.

I miss you.

Well, that's nice of you to say, Charlotte.

But you don't believe it. I'm sure.

It doesn't matter whether I believe it or not.

I guess you don't have much reason to.

You know,

I'm just getting too old to worry about it anymore.

Ah.

You're still young.

We're all still young

till the day we die.

To tell you the truth,

I miss the way people used to look at me.

Like I was somebody in the trenches with them.

Just another poor schmuck trying to work his way up

like everybody else.

You get a little money in your pocket,

people look at you differently.

They can't even fathom

that there was ever any struggle to begin with.

Like it was always this way.

Easy street. From A to B.

You're here for the money.

Yeah.

I'm here for the money.

I mean, if I didn't need it... Then you wouldn't be here, I'm sure.

It's not what I meant. What did you mean then, Wes?

Hmm?

That you hopped on a plane, without calling first, just to see me?

No. You...

You needed money for whatever. So, you're here.

You know, this ArakNet thing... I don't care, Wes.

It doesn't matter.

It's your money. It's always been your money.

You know, it's a two-way street, Charlotte.

You say you miss me.

I'm just a phone call away.

And you wonder about Mara? Why don't you hop on a fucking plane?

See for yourself. You've never been a phone call away.

Yeah. And let's be honest, Wes,

you're happier with her when I'm away.

You talk about how people used to look at you,

like you were one of them.

Imagine how I used to look at you.

Like someone who wanted something more than just a woman to bear his child.

Shame on you.

Shame on you.

I'm just saying,

I wonder where we'd be.

Well...

Why don't you come back tomorrow? We'll sort out the paperwork.

You know your way out.

And if you just... Hey. Sorry to interrupt.

Question for you...go back to the other page... What?

I never go into Brewed, okay?

I go in one time with Mara, and then, look, ads, coupons.

Yeah, that's a thing. Targeted marketing.

Targeted marketing. Yes, I know.

But how? Who's responsible?

What do you mean? Do the big social media companies

have their own divisions, or... Who does it?

I know. There's a couple major companies.Uh-huh.

They're data miners. Big corporations... Right.

...hire them to gather intel. Here's my question for you.

Who is the biggest data miner?

Who is the Google of data mining? Broken Egg.

Broken Egg? Broken Egg. Yeah.

Broken Egg.

And then, if I'm Broken Egg, companies hire me, and then I what?

Just break into your phone? Yeah.

You break into their microphones, their cameras...

And just everything that you say, everything you type,

they gather it all, you know.

Yeah. So, yeah, Broken Egg. Do you need... Like, what?

That's it. I'm good. Thank you.

Carry on.

That's it?

Sorry to interrupt.

Okay.

I'll get it.

Isabelle. Mmm?

You have a visitor.

What are you doing here?

Who are these people?

They're the heads of some of the most dangerous criminal networks in the world.

All of them lost a fortune when GenCoin crashed,

and all of them are mighty curious to know who was behind its demise.

You can run away from me, Isabelle,

you can resist all you want,

but let's be clear about something, okay?

I am the only thing standing between hell and all the people you care about.

Now, I'm wondering why you're not out there

trying to make inroads.

Cute.

I need to show you something.

All right. Let's go real quick.Okay.

So, I ran a test.

It's only to a small region and it allows the data to be sent back to us.

In this algorithm it sweeps the data for keywords.

What happened?

It's all right here.

Check it out.

Come on, what'd you see?

Is that for real?

This stuff happens, you know.

Hired a hit man to kill his wife?

He was paying him in Bitcoin. He might even get away with it.

The address is on there.

We could get her phone number. We could get her name.

At least warn her, right? Ronald...

We got to warn her.

Damn.

This is what I was worried about.

Look. Really, we could sit here and we could go over all this,

and we could drive ourselves crazy.

Technically, we have a legal liability.

Now that we've read that, anything we see on there.

So...

Look, I hate to say it, but Nick was right, we can't do this.

We can't.

Hey, you're getting the hang of that?

Yeah, I think so.

You know, I was wondering,

are any of your friends looking for work?

I thought we were on a hiring freeze.Yeah. No, no. No.

Not really payroll. More contract work, 1099.

Even cash, if they wanted, actually.

Ideally, it would be someone with lots of

hacking experience, I guess.

Never mind. You know what? Never mind.

Never mind. It's fine... I mean, I can...

No. No. No. That's okay. Thank you. Back to coffee.

Okay.

You gotta get back to that post. Look over there.

You see that? That Mustang. That's Declan's crew.

The shit, man? It ain't their turf.

I think it is, dawg. No, zo, this our turf now.

No. Call Frantz, I don't like this shit.

What, you think they gonna roll by?

What the hell are they sittin' over there then for?

Shit. All right, hold up.

See who it is.

And what did they do?

Say, man, couple of Declan's boys been sitting on us for a minute now, dawg.

Go on and let them sit, D.

Ain't no one's turf but the zo.

Yeah, but, I mean, shouldn't we...

You strapped?

I mean, yeah, but...

I mean... It ain't no one's turf but the zo.

You feel me?

Yeah, I feel you.

I feel you.

So, what did he say?

That shit handled.

Go back over there.

Go, man. Come on.

Once you sign, you're good to go.

Wes, you came here to do this.

Just... Let's finish this.

Marry me.

I want it back.

I want everything back.

You want what back, Wes?

It's not a... You want to fix our past?

Marry me.

Wes...

You blamed me.

You blamed me for everything.

Just like you blamed everything on everyone else.

Well,

I say we try to fix it.

Wow.

You know, Wes,

it's been really great seeing you,

but your delusions are concerning.

You just force your way through life,

you damage everyone around you,

and when they resent you for it,

somehow it seems wrong to you.

And you're too blind to see

that your tyrannical bullshit has consequences.

There's nothing left to fix.

I love you.

But...

You need to sign this, and you need to move on.

Because I already have.

Wes.

Wes?

It's all in Bitcoin.

Three months. If that.

Then that's it, we're tapped.

Nobody else to beg from.

What about Saginaw? Where are they at?

What about your 100 million users
