All language subtitles for Halt And Catch Fire S02E07

He reassured me
this is not something to worry about.

This is not a death sentence.

I'm okay.

This is a complication,
that's it.

And Lord knows we've overcome
our fair share of those, right?

I can... I can leave work.

I can quit and stay and make sure
you're all right.

Donna, this cannot,
will not derail anything.

Your work, everything that you're doing,
that would break my heart.

I feel fine.

Hey, yes,
my hands are a little weak.

And, yes,
there are small things,

tiny things here and there,
but I feel good.

Okay, I'm gonna live my life.

I'm moving forward
with the company.

Gordon, how?

My office is 23 steps
from the bedroom.

There's no driving,
no commute,

my engineers are
my most trusted friends.

And worst-case scenario,
you're here.

We're gonna be okay, okay?

I'm sorry you felt like
you couldn't tell me.

Hey, I was...
I was scared.

- I didn't know.
- I'm here now, okay?

I'm here.

Wait, wait, sorry.
Um, can we just, uh...

Yeah. Yeah.

Let's just...

What do you think about
10,000 square feet of office space?

We'll do it gratis and off-site.

Nowhere near the stench of
the oil business.

I think they'll love it.

They'll never have to see
a suit and tie.

Do you have the zoning records
on Mutiny's current address?

Just to take that further for a second,
where they are now,

east side,
neighborhood's a little rough,

house itself hasn't seen a coat of paint
since the invention of the Model A,

but the heart of the company
is sewn up into its walls.

We could save some coin
and embrace that motley spirit.

There's nothing stopping us

from buying up the house,
the entire block.

We could turn the place
into a mini campus.

Let them design it,
grow it as they see fit.

Change as little as possible.

Then they could pepper the place with
foosball tables and arcade cabinets.

That would certainly win more votes
than our 401 and platinum dental.

Drop in a grid of IBM 4361 Superminis,
300 dedicated phone lines,

give them direct admin access
to the mainframe,

I think we got 'em.

That's brilliant.

Great work, Joe.

Give 'em a call.
Let's get this thing done.

Three bucks and my Doctor Doom
says red all the way.

- I'll bet Kang on blue.
- Kang?

Dude, everyone has Kang.
I have five Kangs.

Arki has 11 Kangs. Kang is like
the John Q. Public of action figures.

Fine, my black Spider-Man.

One, two, three.

Guys!
Whoa, why is no one working?

- Is something wrong with the network?
- Not yet.

Not unless Joe MacMillan's
morning coffee tastes bad.

Okay, well, shh.

Hi, sorry about that.

Oh, please, I raised
three rambunctious boys.

Place feels like home.

What was Tom like as a kid?

Oh, God.

I'll try not to embarrass him
too much.

Oh, you say that ten minutes

after telling her about the time
that I wet your bed.

But little Tommy
was the golden child,

even if he was more of
an indoor boy than his brothers.

Every day after school,
he got a cupcake and a Kayo

- just for keeping me company.
- Oh, spoiled.

Always.

- Oh, I gotta get to the depot.
- Yeah, okay.

Oh, yeah.

Cameron,
thank you so much for lunch.

- It was great meeting you.
- No, it was great to meet you.

I haven't seen Tom this happy
in a while.

Thank you for giving him
such a wonderful opportunity here.

We're glad to have him.

This is a very, very special place.

And I know you're bound
to have tremendous success.

Thanks.

- Bye, baby.
- Okay, I'll see you at home.

- Bye.
- All right. Okay.

Um, chicken Parmesan,
is that okay?

And he can cook, too.

- Can you beat that?
- No.

Okay.

- Bye.
- Bye.

Little Tommy.

Thank you.

- I know she can be intense.
- I liked meeting her.

- Mutiny.
- Cameron, it's Joe.

- Who is it?
- Westgroup wants to buy you.

Is it him?
Is he cutting us off?

I'm coming over with
an official acquisition offer tomorrow.

Cameron?

Cameron, this is good news.
I swear.

Ripped & Corrected By mstoll

Hey. Okay, Joe's gonna be here
any minute.

So, I'm thinking that we'll
listen to him, hear him out, um...

and then act professional and then
just let him down easy, right?

- I'm gonna need some time off.
- Now?

Starting after the meeting,
a few days, at least.

- Is everything okay?
- It's, uh...

We ready to talk?

Jesus.

- So, that's it, huh?
- No.

Those are just the numbers.

Here are some others.

Inventory...
31 Commodore 64 machines,

each with a 1541 peripheral floppy,

12 recently purchased ST-412

10-meg hard drives for backup,

22 employees burning on average
3,000 kilowatt hours per month,

1,284 paying subscribers,

and one coffee machine
using Maxwell filters.

My point is, you don't care
about numbers.

You shouldn't.

What makes this place special
is people sharing recipes,

advice,
human experiences,

connection over the speed of
a phone line.

Mutiny's killer app isn't games,
it's people.

And when you sign with us, you won't
have to worry about numbers anymore.

You can let us handle that part
so you can focus on what you love,

which is bringing people together.

We're not interested
in minimizing games.

Neither am I.

Games are the innovative lifeblood
of this company.

Vital for technological
breakthrough.

Essential for bringing users
into the door.

But once they've arrived,
connection trumps content.

Starting day one, Westgroup will begin
a global expansion of your network.

That means reaching
thousands and thousands

of isolated users
all over the world

and suddenly making them
feel less alone.

Uh, just to talk specifics,

what exactly would
global expansion look like?

We're not interested.

I think... I think we should
take a minute with this.

I have.

Maybe I'm crazy,
but it sounds to me like Westgroup

wants the exact same things
that we do.

I'm not sold yet either, but...

I think we should hear this out.

Let's leave the past
where it is

and build something
truly special together.

No, scratch that.

You build it.

I'll get out of the way this time.

You'll get out of the way?

Hey!
Everybody, listen up.

- Cameron, come on.
- Here's what's going on.

Joe MacMillan and Westgroup Energy
want to buy us up.

You hear that?
Yeah.

We can all go work for a bunch of
oil company suits downtown.

How's that sound to you guys?

Oh, what, does it sound like
selling out?

- Yeah.
- That's what it sounds like to me.

Yeah, instead of building
kick-ass games,

they want to turn this
into a place

where housewives
can share their recipes.

What?

Oh, wait, you don't want to
wear a tie to work?

- You don't want to clock in and out?
- No. Hell, no.

So, you'd rather be equal partners
in a thing that you created

with your own blood
and sweat and tears

than mindless stooges
in a corporate food chain?

All right, first off,
I wanna thank you guys

for knocking off a few days vacation
time so we can try this thing out.

All right, I'm not asking for
full buy-in now.

I believe the proof
is in the pudding.

Once those days are up,
if you want in, you're in.

- Yeah?
- Tandy, EDS, General Dynamics, Sabre.

That's a lot of salary to walk away from
after a couple weeks.

Yeah, yeah.
I know it is.

And that's why,
uh, tomorrow...

I want each of you to bring in
your most recent pay stub

so I can match 'em in good faith.

Look, I'm not handing out parking spaces
and gold watches just yet

because it's just us, okay?
100% fulfillment.

Guys with screwdrivers and soldering
irons sitting at these benches,

doing what they do best.

Okay, once we get going,

I'm dropping ads in the biggest
national computer magazines.

No more retail store middlemen,
no more cubicles,

no more bullshit, all right?

Just these and this.

Paging Joe MacMillan.

We'll standardize
around the Intel 186

'87 processor running at 8 MHz,
all right?

10-meg hard drive,
51/4 floppy.

Eventually, we'll go to 12 MHz
on the 286-based system,

but for now, I want to stick with the
186 so we can keep prices down, okay?

How far down, you ask?

800 bucks per unit,
give or take.

All depending on what options
the customer chooses.

They want a standard
Lincoln Town Car, boom.

They want a Ferrari? Hey, they got
the money, honey, we got the time.

A nimble economy job,
500 out the door.

Okay, prices are lower
than retail brands across the board.

Okay, we're offering the customer
unlimited self-assembly

with the convenience of plugging it in
and flipping a switch.

Open architecture, baby.

The destiny of every box we build

lays in the hands of the user
turning that mother on.

So, what do you say?

You guys want to slam one of
these together or what?

It's not a death sentence,
it's a complication.

And Lord knows the two of us
have overcome our fair share of those.

What?

I'm sorry, honey,
I'm still on "brain damage."

Microscopic.
Some mild effects.

- Like what?
- Like muscle weakness.

Uh, some memory lapses.

He might seem a little off
once in a while.

Like when he dug a hole in your yard
in the middle of the night?

No, no, that was work, stress.

What about when Gordon
flew out here

all those years ago

to ask your father's permission
to marry you?

- What happened?
- No, Mom, now you're being ridiculous.

- What happened, Donna?
- Mom.

He was so nervous
that he got on the wrong plane.

Ended up in Salt Lake City.

Had to call your father,
who ended up booking him a seat.

Even told the gate agent to make sure
he got on the right flight.

That's not... That's...
It's cute.

It's... That's...

Jesus, Mom, that's one of
my favorite stories about Gordon.

- That has nothing to do with this.
- What if he gets worse?

What if, one day,
he's in a wheelchair?

What then?

Well, then we will deal with it.

What if something happens when
he's taking care of the girls, honey?

Have you thought of that?

I know it's hard,
but you have to.

Maybe what happened...

the baby...

was a blessing in disguise.

Hey, how's it going over here?

- Whatever, whatever.
- What?

When are you gonna
meet up with this guy?

- George, right?
- I don't know.

We talked about
doing something tomorrow,

but maybe never.

Lev, do it.
Stop being such a wuss.

Shut up.

You still owe me
a black Spider-Man.

Hey. I think I got it.

All right, let's go.

Where's how much it was for?

I haven't found it yet,
but look.

"Office space renovation
and expansion."

- Something-something.
- Cameron owns 90% of this place?

"Founding entry-level employees

entitled to a 64% increase of
current salary

and 1% of sale price."

1% of what?

Well, we already said no,

so it's 1% of jack shit.

Let's be clear.

You didn't bring me here.
I elected to show up.

Everything you say in this room
goes right back to Cameron.

And I have every expectation that
Cameron knows you came to see me.

You know this is a good deal.

The terms are not insulting,

yeah, but it ain't my company.

Can't fault the kid for being
a little squirrely, either, can you?

Hell, Joe,

you seemed like a pretty good deal
to me back in the day.

I never asked you to embezzle
that money, John.

If you hadn't taken matters

into your own hands
and instead just listened to me,

you'd be a multimillionaire
along with Nathan right now.

I know you see it.
You always have.

You went to bat for the Giant
because you believed in it.

You're at Mutiny because you
believe in what they're doing now.

I'm at Mutiny because I'm a 55-year-old
ex-con who can't get a job.

You're an extremely valuable asset.

Please, Joe.

I can't take such a large amount of
sunshine up my ass.

It makes me itch.

We're going to need to pitch
this program

to nine different global subsidiaries.

That's gonna require serious
sales acumen.

- We want you on that team.
- We?

Man, you're not pitching shit unless
she miraculously changes her mind,

and I work out of her kitchen
until the day she says otherwise.

You belong in a corner office,

and we've got one
waiting for you right here.

You have Cameron's ear.

She can hate me
all she wants,

but don't let her cut off her nose
to spite her face.

I know you're her go-to.

It ain't me, babe.

Is it Donna, then?

What can I say?

Kid's in love.

Oh, Jacob, so glad you could swing by.

- John Bosworth.
- Hey.

I've been hearing about you
in my circles for years.

- Sure.
- I'm really looking forward

to having someone of your background
and experience on this team.

I'm sure we both can learn a thing
or two from each other, don't you think?

Oh, I think so.
I think so.

Thank you.

Look, I'm sorry to be
in and out like this.

I have to be in Houston by 4:00,

but when I heard that
you were coming in,

I just had to come over
and introduce myself personally.

- Oh, sure, sure.
- It's a real pleasure.

Pleasure's mine, Jacob, yeah.

Joe.

You know...

you're not gonna find a deal
like this anywhere else.

You might be right.

But I won't be bought, Joe.

And if that's what Cameron wants,

none of us will.

I thought we can offer
an option for a micro 31/2.

Single or double-sided?

Offer both,
but double costs more.

Hey, you don't have to hang out
here all day, you know.

You've been living with this
for a while, I haven't.

But, look, it's more than that.
I've been gone too long.

I've missed you.

I've missed you, too.

Hey.

I know that's why you went to Henry's.

- What?
- You needed someone else

because I wasn't there for you.

Well, you're here now.

- Hey, Gordon?
- Yeah?

- Where do you keep the mugs?
- Left of the sink.

Want me to make you a new pot?

Oh, uh, it's actually for
smaller screws, tiny, tiny stuff.

- How's everything going out there?
- Great.

Laying out the prototype specs,
digging in on mods.

How's, uh, Gordon
handling everything?

He just bought
40 grand worth of CPU chips

over the damn phone,
so I'd say pretty good.

- $40,000?
- Yeah.

- Does that seem okay to you?
- Why, is something wrong?

No, no, nothing.

Just, could you keep
an eye on him

and let me know if he seems
different, you know, or...

Sure, will do.

Larry, what's the holdup?

You puttin' the moves on my wife?

- Uh, no, sir.
- We got work to do.

- You went to my house?
- I thought I'd try you there.

- You weren't home, so I left the...
- The terms sheet, yeah.

You knew I'd be at work.
Do you know who was at my house?

My mother.

Do you know she cried
when she thought

I was getting this kind of
a payout from the sale?

And then she cried again

when I had to tell her
that it wasn't true.

Do you...
do you understand

the recklessness of telling
those kinds of lies

- to someone like that?
- Who's lying?

These numbers are real.

That's the same acquisition offer
tendered to Cameron

and the senior staff.

The only new piece of
accounting here

is what you would
personally stand to make.

- A bribe, you mean.
- I just did the math for you.

You know, Tom,

you could've told me
all this over the phone,

and yet you're here.

You invaded my space.
I figured I'd invade yours.

You care about Cameron.
You should.

She's special.

But you have to ask yourself
if you're doing right by her

if you let her make this decision
from a place of pure emotion.

I'm not even gonna tell her
that we spoke.

Okay.

That's all that he told me.

Is that what you want?

- How much do you think it was for?
- I don't know.

It was five million.

But we already made our decision,

so let's get back to work
and just forget about it, okay?

No.
You made our decision.

What happened to democracy?

Maybe your memory's failing you, but
we all shouted Joe out of this house.

Didn't we all make this call?

Yeah, honestly,
we were just curious, that's all.

- Yeah, it's okay.
- It's fine.

Cool, so it's settled.

How come you never told us
you own 90% of Mutiny?

You need to let this go right now.

How could anything be up to us at all?
And shouldn't this be different?

We didn't know the details of the deal

or that we were turning our backs
on $5 million.

What? What do you want?

A vote. A real vote.

Fine. Yes, fine.
We'll have a vote.

For you,
so that we can put this to bed.

Everyone come in here.
I'll call your names.

Raise your hands
if you want to sell, okay?

- Sell.
- Yes, got it.

Arki.

Sell.

- Carl?
- Can I abstain?

Okay, not sell.

Wonderboy.

Not sell.

Bosworth.

Well?

Not sell.

Tom?

Mutiny.

What?

Tom?

Jesus. Cameron.

Cameron!
Lev's in the hospital.

What are you waiting for?

I know my father
has this idea of me

as some damaged little girl
unable to keep a relationship.

I'm not exactly eager
to prove him right.

- Then don't.
- Oh, please,

don't make this harder
than it already is.

This is a scintillating
conversation.

Dad, uh, Joe and I...

well, I... I haven't been
exactly happy in Dallas.

It's been hard on me,
on us.

And last weekend,
I was in Austin,

- and I was thinking that...
- No, no, no, no, I understand.

Things here are new
for both of you.

New job, new home, new city.

Is it perfect yet?
No, but you're building a foundation.

- Well, that's not what I mean.
- Well, what I mean

is that you were never very good
at sitting still for anything.

You know, you don't need to hit
the reset button

every time you feel
the slightest bit of discomfort.

That's not what I do.

- And if you're referring to Peter...
- Oh, come on, Sara.

- It's exactly what you do.
- Okay.

I do business in nine different
countries, but compared to you,

I feel like a 1,000-year-old oak tree.

You've finally found a guy
you can trust,

someone who can help you heal
those old wounds.

Frankly, I'm delighted
that you're with Joe.

Even right now, you seem
much more grounded to me.

Look,

I hate to see both of you

throw away everything
you've been building here

just because of some anxious
whimsy on your part

stemming from the mistakes
you made with your ex-husband.

With all due respect, Jacob,

I don't think you know
what you're talking about.

- Ah.
- Sara deserves

a little more credit than that.
She sees the best in people.

That's not a weakness,
it's her strength.

I'm sorry.

You think you know my daughter
better than I do?

I think we can navigate our engagement
without your input.

Does anybody want to know
what I think?

- Moment of truth.
- Moment of truth.

All right.

Geronimo.

The Giant took us a year.

The Pro took us half a year.

We got this sucker running
in two days.

If nothing else,
we're getting a lot faster.

I think pretty soon we're all
gonna be a whole lot richer.

You all right, Gordon?

Yeah.

The hardest thing in life is to...
to get knocked down

and then get back up,
constantly.

But we do it
because we love it,

and we know deep down
that if it's the right idea,

it could be bigger
than all of us.

You know,
for a long time,

I wondered if I was
ever gonna find it.

The closest I've come is my kids.

Well...

I think I've finally
found something...

that will allow me

to say to them with confidence,

"You can do it.

You can follow your dreams.

No matter how hard it is,
you can do it."

Hear, hear.

- Cheers.
- To dreams, Gordon.

Just two weeks ago,

I was ready to
walk into Joe's office

and tell him that a portable
under 15 pounds...

it couldn't be done.

And now, the Giant is gonna be
the lightest machine on the market.

And that is truly
something to be proud of.

Joe as in Joe MacMillan?

Uh, what?

What about Joe?

Um, anyways, uh...

great... great work, guys.

Gurney to curtain 2.

- EMS gurney to curtain 2.
- Hey.

He's... he's stable. It's fine.

Uh, he can't talk right now.
He's asleep and they want him to rest.

What happened?

He was supposed to go out
with George today from the network.

- Did they get jumped or...
- There is no George.

It was just a bunch of guys

pretending to be a person
on Community

so that they could
lure him out and...

Did you give the police
the subscriber info for the account?

- That should help them...
- No, the address is phony,

so of course the dumb pigs aren't even
doing anything about it, especially...

Um, can I see him?

So, what?
Dinner here again next week?

We tell him then?

You know, listening to
the two of you talk in there,

it all crystallized for me...
this is what's wrong.

You're in Dallas again,
working at Westgroup,

with a network
that you set up in secret...

I think you didn't tell him 'cause
you're not ready to give up on this.

No, when we came down
from the observatory,

we talked about moving forward,

but the way you're acting now,
where you're headed,

you're backsliding,
and I didn't sign up for that.

I don't know what you want me
to do differently.

I want you to stop meddling in other
people's companies and build your own.

Somewhere else,
like we talked about.

- What are you afraid of?
- I'm not afraid of anything.

You're the one who's afraid of
your history, my history repeating.

It won't.

I see what I see.

What was your vote gonna be?

She told you that I got
a cupcake and a Kayo

every day after school.

What my mom didn't tell you
was that was my dinner.

That way, she could feed me
for under a buck.

She was laid off two weeks ago.

But we already
had lunch planned and...

she insisted on
wearing her uniform,

and I begged her not to,

but she didn't
want you to think...

I don't want you to think
that this is about money.

'Cause it's not.

'Cause my mom...

we'll get by.

We always have.

This job means a lot to me.

And I hope it goes on.

For a long, long time.

But you also mean a lot to me.

And I want us to go on

for a long, long time.

You gave me this job.

It's your company.

No.

This company belongs to everybody.

I'll call Joe.

I'll tell him we're selling.

First of many.

Step one... beef up support staff of
the explosive Community functions.

Step two... prep a huge launch
of the latest game,

"Extract and Defend."

Spectacular blitz...
national TV spots, full-color ads.

Let's hold off on the games
just for a minute.

Why would we do that?

Three letters... C-E-S.

The Consumer Electronics Show
is this month, and from what I hear,

cartridge consoles still own
the games business.

What about Atari? First company
to lose a billion dollars in a year.

Nintendo.

This, uh,
entertainment system thing

is gonna hit the States
just in time for Christmas,

and the skinny is
that's all she wrote.

Continuing with online games
at this point

would just be throwing
good money after bad.

You're right.
We should proceed with caution.

But games are the door,
they get users in.

They get them hooked on
the network.

The better the games,
the bigger the door.

No. Community.

That's the door.

And, in my opinion,
that's everything.

That's what we'll grow.

A big part of my pitch to them was that
they could maintain creative freedom.

Yeah.

That was smart.

What are you doing here?

I, um...

I went by the house.

They told me.

We don't know who did it.

You probably never will.

Sixth grade,
first day of school.

Someone wrote "fag"
on my locker.

I got some paper towels from
the bathroom, wet them down,

and scrubbed it off
before anyone could see.

Next day, they wrote it 20 times
in a permanent marker.

I never went back to my locker.

Carried seven textbooks
in my backpack

for the rest of the year.

I was only 11 years old, but I was
already running from something.

I guess it made
my legs stronger,

my back stronger.

It's dangerous to try
and really connect with someone.

It's so special when you find a person
you can be yourself with.

You were that.

Sara is.

Don't sell.

He'll ruin it.

He won't mean to,
but he will.

He'll make a ton of money,
the company will be a juggernaut,

but your vision will be
corrupted and lost.

He'll start by pulling
the plug on games.

What-what is this, Joe?

You fight so hard to get me
to sign the dotted line...

It's not my business.
I'm not gonna bully you into this.

It's your company.

You should decide
what happens to it.

Maybe you'll make it.

Maybe you won't.

But you live or die
by who you really are.

And where do you fit in
to all this?

I don't.

I'm removing myself
from the equation.

Gordon?

What is it?

What's wrong?

Our first order.

Clark Computers.

We're officially in business.

I'm putting in my notice
at Westgroup.

I do believe I'm the person
you fell in love with.

If you want me to go,
I'll go.

Just tell me what you want.

I want to get married.

That's what we'll do.

No, today.

And in two weeks,
we're in California.

Okay.

Okay.

Let me just make
one thing clear.

This is my company.

And I'm not selling it.
