Original subtitles

God.

You've really gotta get a new trimmer.

This thing cuts like a butter knife cuts steak.

Would you get out of here?

You're gonna be late.

I can't have my mother living in a jungle.

The jungle I don't mind. The bugs, not so much.

Seriously, honey, it's quarter past.

I'm almost done.

It's interesting to me how you prioritize your time.

Garden work? No problem.

But at the crazy suggestion

you grab a drink with Jake Siegel.

As much as I appreciate being set up by my mother.

He's such a nice boy.

He's 45, he's not a boy.

You know, I can get someone to take care of all of this.

You do always say that.

You don't give me enough credit.

I've really gotten a lot tougher.

The great outdoors is no match.

What is it?

It's a spider.

Don't worry. You're safe now.

Well, it's time.

You're gonna do great.

He'd be so proud of you Rebecca. ♪

Yeah, so...

Can you hold the door please?

Thank you so much.

Oh, excuse me, excuse me.

- Thanks, I appreciate ya. - No problem.

- Alright then. - Hold the door!

I'm just curious, we gonna be here for a while?

Should I change my schedule or...

Mr. Justin Botcher, the man himself.

Nathan Brennan, you're soon to be VP of sales.

- You coming up? - No, I take the stairs.

No kidding. Me too.

Been trying to build up these glutes.

Come on, I'll walk with you.

Let's go.

See we go to the same tailor.

Rebecca Taylor?

Yes.

This is our CEO, Justin Botcher.

Rebecca, it's a pleasure to meet you.

An honor to meet you, Mr. Botcher.

Oh no, please call me Justin. We are not formal here.

Good morning Justin.

I'll have that report on your desk by lunchtime.

Thanks Kyle. You see?

If we can't have fun at work, then what's the point, right?

I couldn't agree more.

So come this way and I will give you a tour of the office

or as we like to call it, the Sandbox.

Wow, your office is amazing.

Yeah.

So everything you see here is eco-friendly

and they're all IAM products,

which I'm sure you know that already.

Made in domestic solar powered factories,

using sustainably harvested timber and recycled fabric.

- Even your glue is soy based. - That's correct.

Formaldehyde does not live in this office.

Come.

- You did your homework. - Guilty as charged.

Why do you wanna work at IAM, Rebecca?

I've always loved the outdoors.

My dad and I used to go camping all the time.

I was in the Girl Scouts too. "Do a good turn daily."

I was a Boy Scout myself.

And I've only ever been part of a team,

which has been great, but being VP of product design,

that means putting your mark on every product,

means not compromising, means being responsible

for everything that goes to market.

You are a terrific designer, Rebecca.

Thank you.

But this job isn't just design.

So the VP is in charge of an entire team,

one that is expanding as quickly as this company.

So the VP is a leader.

A leader?

Well I, well, I don't like to toot my own horn,

but I think I'm a pretty good, a great, I'm a solid leader.

Maybe not as vocal as other leaders are,

but I lead by example.

I'm glad to hear that because you've officially

made it through the interview process.

- That's it? I got the job? - Not quite.

Before we hand you a contract,

there's one more step to the hiring process.

It's a unorthodox, but normal is boring.

"Ten Days in Tahoe: Leadership Boot Camp?"

Oh, and don't worry, the paper is recycled.

Of course.

It's a 10 day retreat to snuff out potential candidates.

They wanna see how people gel with company culture.

Maybe I'm missing something,

but this looks like a vacation for you.

You love camping and nature and dirt.

They're looking to see how we work together.

They only want leaders at IAN.

- Honey... - That's not me.

You know where I'm the happiest?

At my office with a sketch pad tinkering.

That's my happy place.

You're a very personable person.

You have to say that; You're my mom.

The truth is, I get nervous around other people,

especially when I have to tell them what to do.

And for the life of me, I can't say no to anyone.

You're overthinking things.

You're gonna go there and be yourself.

Yeah, that's what I'm worried about.

You're a very strong person.

You're gonna find a way to make things work.

I know you are.

And if not, then you can just sell your apartment

and move in with me.

- These are for you my dear. - Thanks.

I was thinking, have you thought about

showing these IAM folks your cook top design?

I think it's very smart,

and it'd be a good fit for their company.

I've gotta go. Thanks for dinner.

I'll talk to you from the campsite.

Take lots of pictures and make smart choices.

Hey, sorry, I didn't mean to walk in on you like that.

No, no, it's fine.

Are you looking for cell reception?

- Yeah. - There is none.

Oh.

I'm Cameron, HR.

Rebecca, product design.

- Is that ants on a log? - Yeah.

I'm 30 years old and my mom still refuses

to let me leave her house without a snack.

That was my go-to Girl Scout snack.

- You were in Girl Scouts? - Troop 12149.

I was 12147. Wow, Girl Scout neighbors.

Hi, Justin wanted me to tell you to gather everyone up.

We're meeting in the main hall at 0900.

Affirmative.

- Would you like one? - Really? Thanks.

Yeah.

- Cheers. - Cheers.

- Okay, well here it goes. - You got this.

Hey guys.

You got this one.

I'm Rebecca.

I was told we're supposed to be meeting up in the mess hall.

Yo, everyone listen up.

The commander has summoned us.

Buckle up, 'cause we are headed to the mess hall,

and yes, I do take tips.

All right, come on, let's go.

Great. He's here.

I heard his name's Nathan, apparently works in sales.

- Yep, that checks. - He seems nice.

I don't know. Something about him rubs me the wrong way.

He's kind of charming though, isn't he?

Well you know what they say about charmers, don't you?

- Nathan's a nut job? - No, you can't trust them.

They'll say whatever it is you wanna hear.

My daddy used to call people like that lemons,

'cause they'll sell you on and expect a thank you in return.

A lemon's a used car that doesn't work.

Oh, that makes sense.

Come on, let's go.

All right, settle down everybody.

Settle down.

If you find yourself asking why we're at a summer camp,

so am I, because if it was up to me,

I would just throw you all out in the woods

and see who could survive.

But nowadays HR doesn't like that sort of thing,

so.

That was a joke, you guys.

You can all lighten up and laugh.

Let's have fun here.

All right, glad to see you're all alive.

Now the goal of these next 10 days

is to see whose IAM material.

Who has a true passion for the outdoors?

Who's able to leave their ego at the door?

Without distractions, I've found that you get a better sense

of who a person really is,

and that's why there will be no cell phones on this trip.

No technology at all.

Each of you will be partnered

and forced to complete challenges where your communication

and outdoor skills will be assessed.

And at the end of the 10 days,

every single team must pass a final survival challenge.

Now you succeed as a team, and you fail as one too.

Respect the woods.

And if you see a bear, just be calm, remain still.

Just make yourself look as large as possible.

And whatever you do, do not run.

Alrighty then.

Partners are posted outside the mess hall.

Good luck to you all. Have fun.

I haven't had to worry about a bear

since I got my camping badge.

Have they been spotted in the area?

Well, you know, bears don't actually wanna hurt anyone.

Most attacks are just mothers protecting their cubs.

Seems like Justin really wants us

to be prepared for anything.

I'm partnered with Kyle.

- You're Cameron, right? - Yep, that's me.

We're gonna win this whole thing. You got me?

I'm not sure there's really winners or losers.

Then you're on the wrong team, pal.

Well, he seems passionate. Who's your partner?

You've got to be kidding me.

What, who is it?

Would you look at that?

It's "hold the elevator" girl.

- Hello. - Hi, I'm Rebecca.

You and I just seem to keep

running into each other don't we?

Someone up there must be trying to tell us something.

- Oh, what would that be? - You tell me.

- And who is this? - Hello, I'm Cameron.

You're a good one, Cameron. I mean, I can tell already.

You got this positive energy. It just radiates off you.

I feel like I'm getting a tan.

I've got some sunscreen in my bag if you need any.

And she's quick. Rebecca, we got a live one.

They have assigned every group settling in tasks.

We're supposed to build a fire.

Well, I am feeling hot, hot, hot.

Yeah.

Okay, well come on then Sparky, let's get to it.

- Good luck. - Thank you.

I'm genuinely curious.

How many people were you planning on holding the door for?

Like if you'd held the door for, I don't know,

11 people and a 12th person shouted, "hold the door,"

would you have done it?

Have you ever built a hand drill before?

Yeah. You know, I mean, I'm not much of a welder,

but I could watch you do it.

A hand drill, a spindle, a bow, a hearth board.

You spin it until at at ignites. You use it to make a fire?

Oh yeah, right.

So what do you do? What job are you applying for?

VP of Product Design.

Ah, yeah, that tracks.

Seemed like a product design sort of girl.

What does that mean?

You know, you're smart, hardworking,

spend more time with tools than people.

- Excuse me? - I'm in sales.

I used to work over at Cookware,

the luxury stove top designer.

You know, salespeople get a really bad rap.

I think it's kind of unfair.

I mean, can you think of a better feeling

than selling someone something

that will truly change their life?

Getting warm by a fire?

Oh, there we go.

What are you doing?

We're not allowed to use any outside tools.

Little late.

You heard Justin in the mess hall.

This is all a test.

And if we start taking shortcuts now,

we're going to get caught

and neither of us is getting hired.

You're right, Rebecca.

Don't tell.

That's not what I'm trying to say.

Run!

Consider this a warning.

If that was a real bear,

Lisa's actions could have put us all in danger.

That's why we respect nature.

Just keep calm everybody.

Nathan, Rebecca, nice fire.

You're lucky Justin didn't see you

bolt away from that bear.

That's that supposed to mean?

I just didn't know you were

physically capable of running so fast, that's all.

You're right.

Standing still while a bear comes to eat you.

That makes more sense.

Actually, it does. Justin is an expert.

You listened as well as you talk, you'd know...

Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa.

Hold up, you like the way I talk?

All I'm saying is Justin knows more

about the outdoors than anybody.

He's climbed Everest twice

and he built IAM from the ground up.

Obviously he's a bit eccentric.

Could you please be specific?

What is it about the sound of my voice

you find so appealing?

But I've been reading online

and IAM has some of the highest employee satisfaction rates

of any major corporation.

Justin knows what he's doing.

Yes, I know.

I admire the guy too.

I'm happy to be here and yada yada yada.

But as you might have gathered, this is all a bit new to me.

Working as a team?

Being outdoors in mud for extended periods of time.

I have a question, Nathan.

For the interview, didn't they ask you if you,

I don't know, enjoyed the outdoors?

- They did, Rebecca. - And?

I told them the truth. I love the outdoors.

I love the smell of freshly cut grass

or the sound that rain makes

whenever it splashes against the pavement.

I love gazing up at a star filled sky.

Makes you feel so small.

And I love watching a 200 year old tree

come to life in spring.

There's nothing more beautiful than nature.

I just prefer to experience it through a window

from an air conditioned room.

Right.

Okay, wait wait wait. Hold up.

Rebecca, what I'm trying to get at is that I think

you and I might be able to help each other.

And how's that exactly?

Well, you're applying for a leadership position, right?

- And? - And let's face it,

you have zero leadership skills whatsoever.

That is so not true.

You can't say no to anyone.

You're really not gonna let

this elevator thing go, are you?

I could have gotten both of us fired back there,

and you have yet to tell me off.

So? I'm not a tell-you-off sort of person.

I watched you try to summon everyone to the mess hall.

Yeah, about that, I didn't ask for your help.

No, but you needed it.

Let's face it, Rebecca, you got about as much authority

as a kid who eats lunch alone in a library.

What does that even mean?

These people don't know me.

Of course they didn't listen to. Me.

They listen to me.

But you help me with the outdoorsy stuff,

and I'll help you become more assertive.

We got 10 days before the survival challenge

and if we don't pass, none of us gets hired.

And I don't know about you, but I'd really like this job.

Some people are naturally likable,

some are just great at taking charge.

That's just never been me.

What do you say we fix that?

Come on bars. Come on, where are you?

The reception around this place is...

Ah, oh, hi.

Uh, our little secret?

Just looking for a little bit of reception.

Huh, is this some sort of zen garden or something?

A garden is just a garden.

Wise, very wise.

You know, I respect the heck outta Justin.

I mean, he is a leader, innovator.

I mean even a genius,

but maybe we're not meant to live so closely with nature.

You like a yogi or something?

I'm just a groundskeeper, Nathan.

How do you know my name?

I didn't catch yours. Your name, I mean.

Robby is my name.

You know what I like about you, Robby?

You're not an open book, you know?

And the whole mysterious groundskeeper thing

you got going for you, I mean, it works.

Yeah, it really works.

Good morning.

What are you doing?

I was taking a wonderful nap.

You'll have plenty of time to take a nap once you're home.

Justin's already gathered everyone.

We've got our first activity.

Okay.

All about teamwork.

Oh, Rebecca, Nathan, good morning.

It's so nice of you to join us.

I'm sorry, I was laying down

and I guess I just got caught up, you know?

I mean, the sun was on my face,

wind was blowing through my hair

and it just suddenly hit me, I'm here,

and sometimes you lose track of time

when you're just so present.

I want you all to pay attention.

'Cause we can all learn a valuable lesson from Nathan here.

Because being present,

it's the greatest gift we can give ourselves.

Couldn't have said it better myself.

You're kidding me.

Don't be late again.

Now, as I was explaining to the group,

collaboration is what makes IAM...

Sun was in my face? The wind blowing through my hair?

- How does that even work? - What can I say?

I'm a charming personality.

That's one word for it.

Now there's no better test to see how we work together

than out there.

We choreographing a synchronized swim routine?

Not quite.

You brought your watch on a canoe?

I was worried being here with you,

- I'd loose track of time. - What does that mean?

Because when I'm with you, time flies.

Have you ever been on a boat before?

Yeah, no, of course. I've been on a...

Please don't say yacht.

What? I didn't say yacht.

Okay, now I'm gonna need your help paddling left.

But we're going to the right.

I know we're going right.

That's why you paddle, okay, we're turning, turn left.

- Paddle left? - Right!

- Okay. - No, paddle right.

Would you make up your mind?

When I say right, you paddle right.

When I say left, you paddle left,

or else we're not going anywhere.

I am doing exactly what you were telling me to do.

How on earth could you possibly...

What you doing in the water?

- You tipped the boat. - Don't worry, I'll save you.

Bye.

So you don't need saving?

Nathan, you and I are gonna have to find

a better way to communicate.

Capsizing a canoe isn't your idea of good communication?

Surprising, right?

Why do you keep touching your necklace?

What?

I've noticed you do that a lot.

Nathan, what do we have to do to get on the same page?

Well, when you're making a sale,

you don't beat around the bush.

You don't hem and ha, you say what you mean.

Wait, are you trying to turn this around on me?

Next time we're on the water,

don't ask me if I can start paddling left.

Just shout left and I'll paddle left.

Shout right, I'll paddle right.

No, you tipped the boat because you don't listen.

You were too nice. That's your problem.

You have to take charge.

Lead with an iron foot or iron fist.

- Yeah, no, it's iron fist. - You're unbelievable.

- Thank you. - That wasn't a compliment.

- Good. She's learning. - What have I learned?

Lesson number one, communicate with purpose.

I'm having the best time.

The people here are just so wonderful.

I hear what you're saying,

but I can tell you're not so sure.

He's always trying to charm me into submission.

And you know what? It works.

Everyone here loves him.

This is gonna be a very long week.

Honey, things will work themselves out.

They always do.

Yep, that's right.

I wish I could stay here the entire summer.

It's so easy for him. I don't get it.

Everyone's so eager to hear what he has to say,

like he's about to share

the ninth wonder of the world or something.

Stop being so hard on yourself.

What does this Nathan have that you don't have?

- Charm? - No.

Natural way with people?

An overall confidence about him?

You're this close to getting the job you've always wanted.

You have a partner that's a nuisance.

So what?

Too nice.

That's what he said about me, that I'm too nice.

What does that even mean?

Okay, I've gotta go, someone's waiting.

- I love you, Mom. - I love you too.

- All yours. - Thanks.

- What are you looking at? - No one.

You were looking at the groundskeeper guy.

You are intelligent. You are clever.

Words of affirmation.

Sometimes they help when I get a little flustered.

Why don't you go talk to him?

- You know I can't do that. - And why do I know that?

Because no guy like that would ever like someone like me.

How could you say that?

I've known you for like two days

and I already know what an awesome person you are.

That man would be lucky to have you.

I am gonna go get some water now. Goodbye.

Cameron.

You are independent. You're smart.

You have a fun personality.

All right guys, this is the giant's finger.

The objective is to get the rope up and off of the pole

without the rope touching the pole.

Sorry I'm late. I had to get something from the cabin.

Really? You brought a boom box?

If I see the rope touch the pole,

you lose.

All right, first group, you're up.

All right, let's do it.

Whoa whoa, hold on guys.

What's team building without a little team building music?

All right, all right.

♪ Get it on on the dance floor ♪

♪ Got to get it tonight ♪

♪ She gonna set it off on the dance floor ♪

Guess what? You know Cameron?

She has a crush on the gardener.

- Robby? - Uh huh.

Wouldn't they be cute together?

You know you're never gonna get to

set up Robby and Cameron, right?

And why's that?

Well, because matchmaking is essentially sales

and you couldn't sell water in the desert.

Are you scared of heights.

Uh, what? No, me, heights?

I almost got it.

Whose boom box is this?

Whoops.

You lose.

Sorry guys.

Oh, whoops.

Do I need to ask again?

That is, was mine sir.

Let me ask you something.

How is the ruby throated hummingbird

supposed to hear its mating song

if a steady synthetic bass is blaring through its habitat?

That is a good question.

It's a very good question.

You need to apologize.

Team three, you have failed the challenge.

And as punishment, the entire group

will take shifts doing path maintenance.

Sorry guys.

You know, when I first applied for this job,

I was really thinking it'd be more of a cushy corner office

sort of, ow!

I think I have a splinter.

Hey Tarzan, could use a little bit of help over here.

You know, it's not like I don't want to be a good leader.

I'd love to be able to stand in front of a crowd

and be able to sell them on an idea.

Just doesn't come naturally, I guess.

Oh, I get that.

I've actually been working on this product for a while.

What, like something you invented?

A multipurpose camping accessory.

And it's for people who hate camping.

A camping accessory for people who hate camping.

Basically it's a portable wood burning cook top

that also charges your phone,

purifies water and plays music through a speaker.

The idea is that it's designed for people like you

or my mom, you know, people who aren't fans of nature,

people who want their creature comforts wherever they go.

I actually think that's kind of great.

Having fun over there, Tarzan.

Oh, I would invite you to join,

but I know you're not great with heights.

It's very considerate of you. Thanks.

Well, I'm not sure if I've gotta point out the obvious here,

but why not bring your cook top to IAM?

The point of the cook top

is that it makes your life easier.

Justin doesn't want that.

Now to him, IAM is all about self-reliance and survival,

about being one with nature.

Well, if you're asking for my expert opinion,

which it sounds like you are,

the truth is that buyers don't know what they want.

They think they do, but they don't.

It's our job to show them.

And how do you do that?

You come up with a captivating, mind blowing pitch.

Do you have a pitch yet?

How about a name?

"Wood Burning Cooktop That Also Does Many Other Things?"

You're a natural.

Think I'm gonna start hanging out in places

that just have ropes hanging about.

It's part of a game. It's called acid river.

The point is to get across without touching the river.

- Because it's acid? - Exactly.

Delightful.

Oh, I'm a mountain man.

Who said you weren't outdoorsy?

Everyone I have ever met.

I'm gonna fall in the acid.

Hey, this is really coming along.

I mean, if I meditated, this would totally be my sanctuary.

For me? Wow, okay.

I'm honored.

This garden is yours now too.

It's very nice. Thank you.

Listen, I'm feeling kind of introspective.

Hey, you have that effect on people.

You ever been told that before?

Oh, okay. Another one?

Anyway, if I tell you something, could you not repeat it?

You know, like a what is said in the garden

stays in the garden kind of thing?

I didn't actually leave my old job at Cookware.

Not willingly, I mean. I got fired.

Apparently my performance rapidly declined.

- Did it? - I don't know.

I mean, how long can you sell pots and pans

before you stop to think, what am I doing with my life?

I mean, I'm not saying that like

I need to save the children or anything,

but a little greater purpose would be nice.

This hike.

It's a chance to connect with the earth.

Take in and appreciate beautiful sights and sounds.

Hmm.

And please refrain from talking so those around you

can really enjoy this moment with nature.

I think we lost the group.

For the record, you talked first.

Come on, let's catch up.

You know, I read there's waterfalls around here.

- That's a bad idea. - Come on.

You don't wanna go chasing waterfalls with me?

Are we just gonna wander through the woods?

I don't know this area.

Well, luckily I brought my handy.

How do you fit so many gadgets

inside such tight pockets?

I'm genuinely curious.

Waterfalls are northeast.

Long as we follow this, we will not get lost.

I mean, they should be right around here somewhere.

Nathan, what direction did you say you were going in?

Northeast.

The sun rises in the east and sets in the west,

and it's been going that way.

We're going northwest.

I mean, I'm just following the compass.

What's that?

Oh, this is called a key chain.

Something you snap your keys on to.

It's magnetic.

One of the mini spectacular key chain functions.

Compasses are made with magnetized needles.

When you hold a magnet too close to one,

it causes the needle to go haywire.

No. I don't know where we are.

Wait, okay.

I have my phone. Maybe we could call for help.

I don't have reception.

How do you have your phone? Nevermind.

The sun sets in an hour.

We need to find higher ground.

If we find reception, we can call for help.

Okay.

Cooktop in One.

Wild and Easy. No.

- Ooh, Glamping Grill Box. - Glamping grill box?

You're supposed to say "yes and."

Don't you know how the creative process works?

Negativity does not, oo.

I feel like I'm almost getting a bar.

How do you almost get a bar? Anything?

Nothing.

Whose idea was it to make these tastes like cardboard?

Some very unhappy foodie, that's my guess.

I mean, how hard is it to add

a hint of lime or a tinge of barbecue?

A touch of jalapeño.

Well, it's not a waterfall, but it is scenic.

This is one of my favorite things to do.

Getting lost in the wilderness?

Finding a remote spot and just soaking it in.

Can I ask you something?

As long as it's personal

and makes me incredibly uncomfortable, sure.

Of all the places you could work, why IAM?

Well, believe it or not, my family is quite outdoorsy.

The guys all have beards and unironic lumberjack outfits.

They stopped inviting me to our annual family retreats.

Apparently. I complain too much.

That checks.

What, because I like shelter in an air conditioned room?

I would like to get better at that though,

to be more amenable to the elements and all that.

So you apply for a job

selling things you know nothing about?

Well, I mean obviously I planned on learning, Rebecca.

There they are. I found them.

Justin, if I may...

No, Nathan, you may not.

You know, I'm starting to believe

you've never set foot on a campsite before.

Technically, I've set foot on one before.

- Why are you here? - I love the outdoors.

Okay, look, maybe I'm not the most outdoorsy guy,

but I'm getting there.

I want to get there,

and being lost in the middle of that meadow with Rebecca

with no distractions and nothing to do

but eat terrible hiking snacks,

it was actually kind of wonderful.

You are not IAM material, Nathan.

- You should go. - Wait.

I know I haven't been doing a great job either,

but let me make this right.

You said IAM works as a team, that we're one big family.

Well, in a family, when one person messes up,

the others have their back.

I'm his partner. This is my fault too.

But we can turn this around. Give us one more chance.

We'll pass the skills challenge together.

He's going to pass the skills challenge.

Yes?

Fine. You are a team.

You win as one, you lose as one.

But I better see a marked change from you both

because if not, it's your jobs.

Okay, just wait wait wait, hold on.

I have done nothing but ruin your chances

of getting a job here.

Why would you stand up for me?

Because I know you're trying.

I'll see you tomorrow.

I know you're trying?

I know you're trying? Who cares if he's trying?

He's gonna get us both fired. What was I thinking?

I could have reported when he told me

he lied at the interview.

I could have just let him

wander off in the wilderness alone.

I could have just kept my mouth shut yesterday.

So why did you stick your neck out for him?

I don't know. He's a wild card, Cameron.

He always has an angle. He's always selling.

I also think there's a side of him that's not,

might not be so terrible.

I mean, he wants this job so his family will approve of him.

That's noble, right?

You know what always helps me when I'm feeling this way?

Is this just me or does this food taste like rubber?

Affirmation. Okay, say it with me.

- I am trying my best. - I am trying my best.

- Again. - I am trying my best.

- Again. - I'm trying

my best.

Hey. What are you doing tonight?

What am I doing? I don't know.

Group meditation, eating dinner, going to bed?

Why don't you come out with me, Robby and Cameron?

Come out where?

The lake.

You said you wanna set 'em up, right? Let's do it.

I feel like you have an agenda here.

No agenda.

I just wanna say thank you.

You know, for what you did for me.

No one's ever stood up for me like that before

and for a good reason.

Anyway, I feel like a jerk for everything I put you through.

And if you wanna set up Robby and Cameron,

let's set up Robby and Cameron.

- Nathan. - Yes?

I really wanna set up Robby and Cameron.

Yeah, I know.

And who knows? I mean, maybe you'll have a nice time too.

I thought you don't do lakes

at night because of mosquitoes.

Don't worry, we're safe.

I brought back up.

This looks nice.

Well, you know, I may not be naturally outdoorsy,

but when it comes to romance.

Finish that sentence.

You were looking at the king.

I was really hoping

you weren't gonna say something like that.

Yeah, well...

- Hi Cameron. - Hey.

What...

Robby, hello.

You're as lovely as a summer breeze.

And Nathan, it looks really beautiful.

You did a great job.

Oh yeah, thanks.

Speaking of a wonderful job,

you should hear about the product

that Rebecca's designing over here.

Are you building your own product?

I'm not. Well, I have designs for it, but...

Oh, come on, don't be shy. It is a great idea.

You gonna tell 'em or you're gonna make me do it?

I don't have a pitch yet.

Well, now is the perfect time to practice.

It's a cook top.

- What's it called? - What's Cookin'.

The name is still TBD, but the product,

it's a multipurpose wood burning cook top.

It's a ventilation pipe connected to a flue.

When the cook top is ignited, combustion gas...

Okay, stop.

But I was just getting started.

Yeah, I know, I know, that's my point exactly.

Look around, tell me, what do you see?

Um...

Glazed eyes, empty smiles.

You're two seconds into your pitch

and you're boring your audience.

Okay, look, the key to any pitch is to make it personal.

So tell us, how did you come up

with the idea for the Wood Master 2000?

Well, my dad was big into the outdoors.

If it was up to him, he'd live in a tent.

My mom, on the other hand,

is a little like Nathan over here.

Suave and incredibly attractive.

She's terrified of dirt.

Robby's not terrified of anything.

Anyway, in the years since I've been thinking,

what would've made my mom more comfortable?

How could I have made those family outings

a little less tense.

What? Why are you guys looking at me?

I am not tense.

So I came up with the cook top,

so that if my dad was still around,

she'd be more likely to come with us

on our camping expeditions.

I don't know. Maybe it's stupid.

No, no. It's beautiful.

See? Personal.

Have you ever taken a swim? At night?

I have not, no. It sounds nice though.

You are a free spirit. You are a catch.

You are whimsical.

What a duo.

My dad gave it to me. It's a maple leaf.

It was his favorite tree.

We used to sketch them together.

You wanna go swimming?

- No, not at all. - Good. Me neither.

Cookware, my old company,

that might be a really good fit for Rebecca, right?

I mean, they don't sell cooktops per se,

but pots and pan are kitchen adjacent.

I really think my old boss would go for the idea.

Behind Rebecca's back?

Well, I mean, no, not behind her back.

I just don't wanna get her hopes up and then disappoint her.

Imagine if I came to her with an offer.

Imagine how happy she'd be.

It would change her life.

Yes, Nathan Brennan.

Tell Robin I've got a product for her

that's gonna revolutionize her outdoors line.

Got interest already, IAM.

Mmhmm.

I'm very interested in working

with the product designer who made it.

That's right. Better act quick.

Leadership is decisive action.

Let's see how decisive you are.

Great. What's the activity?

- What's with Nathan? - I dunno. He seems excited.

- Weird. - Super weird.

The task is simple.

You're standing in a straight line.

Arrange yourselves from shortest to tallest.

But uh uh uh uh uh, wait a second, not so fast.

In the least amount of moves possible.

Go.

Okay, Cameron, you change places with Nicole.

Hold up.

We should think this through first.

You didn't think I thought it through?

Well if Cameron switches with Nicole,

Nicole's gonna have to switch with Alberts

and Alberts is gonna have to switch with Jepsky.

But if Nicole and Jepsky switch, we save three moves.

All right, Lisa, you're up next.

That was great back there.

Rebecca Taylor, leading the charge.

I mean, Kyle clearly hadn't thought it through.

I bet you'd be great at Tetris.

What are you working on?

I'd rather not.

Is this the cook top?

You're incredible. I mean, this is incredible.

What's with you today?

- What do you mean? - You seem different.

Well, great night of sleep will do you wonders.

They give you the good pills or something?

Yeah.

What are you doing later?

What am I doing?

Group meditation with the group.

- I got a better idea. - Yeah? What's that?

Sneak into town with me.

- Why? - Because why not?

I mean, can't argue with that.

But I don't think Justin would like us ditching the woods

for paved roads and cell service.

I'll cover for you.

If that's something you'd like, I mean.

Justin, Justin! I was out on a walk and I lost my earring.

- You're earring. - Yes.

But it's a really important earring.

I'm just so scared that like

a little animal's gonna choke on it

and it'll be all my fault and I...

Okay okay, all right, just calm down.

Deep breaths.

Now, where was the last place you saw this earing?

I was over on the trails over there.

If you wanna come take a look at it.

You're just such a better tracker than me

and it was right over there, but it fell out.

They're shaped like little butterflies.

So over by where we went to the bird watching.

What color are they?

They're white and with little like silver bits.

I can't believe that actually worked.

Yeah, your girl Cameron's a natural.

Yes. I got service.

Oh, I missed you, my beautiful friend.

Can I borrow that for a sec?

Okay, but if you break it, that's the end of us.

- Rebecca. - Hi Mom.

I don't know why, but I feel like I'm about to cry.

She misses me.

I feel like I haven't seen you in so long.

Who's this?

This is my retreat partner, Nathan.

Hi, Mrs. Taylor. Did a fine job at this one over here.

Oh, he's a smooth talker. I like him, Rebecca?

Yeah, you just don't know him that well.

Where are you two?

I thought you were supposed to be on a campground?

Oh, we're just taking a little excursion.

I can tell by the look on your face,

you're up to something.

Okay, well technically we snuck out,

but it was all Rebecca's idea Mrs. Taylor.

I mean, I told her that we should follow the rules,

but she insisted.

You've snuck out, oo, so exciting.

- I really liked your mom. - She's the best.

You said that she's an artist, right?

She's the one that actually got me into sketching.

Isn't it kind of isolating,

you know, being alone in a room,

sketching, designing things, you know, whatever.

I don't know.

I've always felt more comfortable with a pad and pen

- than with... - With what, people?

What do you think?

That's way too yellow.

Oh, now we are talking.

Check these bad boys on.

Yikes, that's pricey.

You mean I have nice taste?

No, you have expensive taste.

I found it. I found the one.

- No. - Yes.

No. Nuh-uh.

Do you feel good about yourself?

I do. I really do.

Feel like all I need now is binoculars and a big old map.

You know, complete the outfit.

Oh, okay.

Aw, he's such a cute tourist.

Well, I mean, if we're gonna do selfies, you're in it too.

Smile.

What can I get for you?

Do you have cookie dough?

Of course.

Can I get a vanilla chocolate chip

with cherries on top please?

My kind of man, four bucks.

Oh, there you go, keep the change.

Perfect, thanks.

- You're welcome. - Thank you.

So when did you first realize you hated coupons?

I don't hate coupons.

Have you ever used one?

Yes.

My family never really had a lot of money growing up,

so we went coupon hunting often.

I was always jealous of these kids who had a lot of money.

I remember I worked all summer

to buy this leather jacket once.

I mean, it was ridiculous how much this thing cost.

Ended up wearing it the entire school year.

Oh, that must have been fun around May,

June when it starts getting nice and warm out.

Well.

You know, I think that's why I got into sales though.

I mean, you could call it materialistic,

but buying that leather jacket

wasn't about wearing some fancy label.

It was a sense of accomplishment.

Yeah, I think it's the best feeling in the world,

and I like the idea of being able

to give that to other people.

I've never heard such a spin on buying overpriced clothes.

Well, I mean, what can I say? It's what I do.

I lied.

I didn't quit my old job. I got fired.

What for?

Well, my sales record had been,

to put it politely, declining.

I guess I just got tired of trying

to sell things I didn't care about.

I didn't change that though.

What does that mean?

Come on. It's getting late, we should go.

Today was fun.

Oh yeah, it's good to get out

in the world sometimes, isn't it?

Depends on the company, I guess.

- Have a good night. - You too.

- What's wrong? - Justin wants to see you.

Hey, what's going on?

Cameron said you wanted to see me.

Sit down, Rebecca.

If this is about yesterday,

I know you said we're supposed to stay on premises, but.

There's some real perks to getting a little fresh air.

I mean, obviously there's fresh air here.

We're in the woods?

I got a call this morning from Robin at Cookware.

She's an old friend of mine.

Apparently the two of you went to her

with a product Rebecca designed, a multipurpose cook top?

What? No, I didn't...

Rebecca had nothing to do with this.

Nathan?

I was the one that called.

Yes, I know.

Robin told me how insulted she was

by your futile attempts at trying to start a bidding war.

I don't understand.

She called as a professional courtesy,

warning me not to hire you.

You called your old boss?

Rebecca, I can explain.

You went behind my back

and lied about my interest in a product

that I know nothing about.

Oh. But that's what you thought that?

No, no, no, no, see, okay, so I didn't say

that you were interested in the product.

I said that you were interested

in working with the product designer.

What's the first thing I said when you arrived?

IAM believes in trust.

Justin, I didn't know Nathan was gonna do that.

Pack your bags. You're going home.

Rebecca, I can explain.

You tried to sell my cook top to your old boss?

I wanted it to be a surprise.

I wanted to come to you with an offer.

You went behind my back.

I knew you would never do it for yourself.

So I would surprise...

I put myself on the line for you.

I wanted to help.

I should've known better.

I knew I shouldn't have trusted you.

- I'm so stupid. - No, no, no.

It's not like that.

You like my cook top

and you wanted to take credit for selling it.

You couldn't be selfless if you tried.

I'm sorry that you feel that way.

- Have a nice life, Nathan. - Same to you.

Next time you talk to the gardener,

tell him not to forget to water these.

Also, we're gonna have to do something about the gutters.

Rebecca, sit.

What do you want me to say?

I have nothing to say. I screwed up.

Shouldn't have trusted him.

Shouldn't even have mentioned the stupid stove.

It's not stupid, honey.

You know what feels the worst?

What if Nathan's right?

What does that mean?

I've never put myself out there.

Not at work, in front of other people.

I spent I don't even know how many years

designing the cook top and I haven't shared it with anyone.

Honey, sharing something you're disinvested in is hard.

It would be hard for anyone.

The only reason I haven't is because I'm scared.

I'm scared of not being liked.

People thinking my designs aren't good.

Just letting down Dad.

Oh, Rebecca.

And that's a pretty awful way to live, isn't it?

Being scared all the time.

What's that?

I dug it out of the attic.

It's your first sketchbook.

You've always been a talent, honey.

But you know what? A lot of people are talented.

I'm not proud of you because you turned out

to be a terrific designer.

I'm proud of you because you

turned out to be a terrific person,

and I know your dad would feel the same way.

That's nice of you to say.

Honey, you wouldn't believe how quickly time flies.

It feels like just yesterday I met your dad.

Everyone's scared.

But this, it goes by too fast for you not to enjoy it.

That's easier said than done sometimes.

That's true. But you know what I found?

When you're looking back, the only things you'll regret

are the things you didn't try.

- Do you want a job at IAM? - I do.

Do you think you'd be happy there?

I know I would.

Then what are you still doing sitting here?

- Thank you. - Thank me later.

Go on, go.

Wow, this looks great.

Very zen indeed.

I just wanted to say goodbye.

Heading out.

You wanna know what Rebecca said to me?

She called me selfish.

I mean, she said that I'm selfish.

You know what?

Gosh, she's right.

I found that listening

is the best way to understand someone.

- Well, I don't know about... - Stop. Talking.

Start listening.

I think you might be right.

Thank you, Robby.

Rebecca, hi

Nathan?

I am just calling to say that you were right.

I shouldn't have done what I did.

It was wrong. I was selfish.

I didn't listen to what you wanted.

No, you didn't.

And I was wrong to call you selfish.

You're not.

I know your heart was in the right place.

Well, hopefully we run into each other sometime.

Do you think we will?

I don't know. The world's a pretty big place.

Not that big.

You came back.

We worked all week getting ready for the skills challenge.

Might as well see it through.

He looks so stern.

Maybe he's trying to make sure

everyone stays well hydrated.

Look at them.

Everyone's warming up individually.

Well, you don't want to chat up

the competition before the big game.

- They're doing it wrong. - Excuse me? Okay.

You're all going to fail.

Everybody listen up.

I heard you got sent home. What are you doing here?

Remember when Justin first told us

about the final challenge?

What did he say?

He said, you succeed as a team and you fail as a team.

Right?

He did say that, yeah.

Right now, you know what I see?

Five groups of partners competing against each other.

You mean competing for second place.

See, that?

You're all gonna fail if you keep that up.

Justin isn't looking for a winner.

He's looking to see how you work together.

Come on.

You realize she's just saying this so she'll win, right?

When you're on a deadline and you need the office's help,

do you think Justin cares about a winner and a loser?

He cares about how you work as a team.

That's right.

What? I'm agreeing with her.

I might not have a job here anymore,

but I don't wanna look back at this moment

and regret not trying to win it back.

The race starts in five minutes.

Think about it.

- What was that? - What?

That.

I mean, a day ago you were the water girl,

but now you're the football coach

giving an inspirational halftime speech.

Wow, did I do good with you.

- You think it worked? - I don't know.

But I know I'm right.

Who's that?

Caller ID says it's Cookware.

- What? - What should I do?

Answer.

- Wait. - What?

You have reception out here? Who is your carrier?

Hello?

Who is it, who is it?

Kevin? Hi, how are you?

Kevin Black, he's the CTO.

No, I didn't know that Cookware's been looking

to dip its toes into outdoor recreation.

Robin must have given him the schematics.

I can't believe it.

Come on, what is he saying?

- They wanna make an offer. - You're kidding me.

How much? That's what I thought you said.

Okay, put it on speaker, I want to hear.

- I see. - What happened?

The offer's contingent

that you're not associated with the product.

Oh.

You know, I've been waiting all my life

for an offer like this, but unfortunately,

I'm gonna have to turn it down.

What are you doing?

Nathan and I are a package deal.

Have you lost your, give me your phone.

I'm gonna call him back and you're gonna tell him

that you're kidding because you'll be crazy

not to accept that offer.

You are the only one who believed

in the product in the first place.

Kevin Black would've never seen it if it weren't for you.

But...

Plus, he said at Cookware, product designers work alone

because he knows they're the solitary type.

Isn't that kind of your dream?

You may be a pain, but every team needs an Nathan on it.

You're crazy.

I have been thinking though,

- and I think I found our name. - Yeah?

Happy Camper.

I mean, that's what it's all about, right?

Making life easier, making camping fun for everyone?

Happy Camper. Hmm.

Okay everybody, gather around the starting line.

- You ready for this? - Let's do it.

Ready, set...

Come on guys, come on guys.

We got this. We're a team, we're a team.

We're a team, let's go.

♪ Oh I gotta to get to you now ♪

♪ I need to somehow, some way ♪

♪ Oh, you're my blue heaven ♪

♪ I need you right now to make it home okay ♪

♪ Whoa, you're my blue heaven ♪

Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa. Hold it.

This is the finish line.

You cannot touch the bridge,

cannot go around it.

How are we supposed to pass

if we can't touch the bridge?

I dunno.

Oh, nice, nice.

Toss me the next one.

Here, grab some more.

Good job guys.

One more.

Good job, guys. Good job.

Here we go, there we go.

Let's go guys, let's go.

Come on guys, we got this.

As a team, as a team, as team, that's how we do it.

Listen up.

Each of you had a chance to come in number one

on the obstacle course, but none of you did.

You showed your commitment to your fellow employees.

You showed your impressive ability to work together.

Welcome to IAM Everyone. Congratulations.

Rebecca, Nathan. A word.

I thought I made myself clear I wanted you both gone.

Listen, I'm the one who screwed up.

Nathan.

You saw her on the obstacle course.

You saw how great she did. She led everyone through it.

She's become a leader.

That's enough.

And she's a great product designer.

How could you not hire her? I'm the idiot here.

I got an offer on my Happy Camper design from Cookware.

Is that so?

You wanted us to be honest and so I will.

They made me an amazing offer and I turned it down.

Why?

Because the product is the product.

What I want is to work with the best people.

I wanna bring Happy Camper here, Justin.

This, it's not just for campers or adrenaline junkies.

It's not just for Boy Scouts

or people who can set up a tent.

This belongs to everyone.

And the more people who can appreciate

how beautiful Mother Nature is,

the more people will treat her with respect.

Let's add Happy Camper to IAMs summer line

and market the heck out of it.

Let's prove that everyone can enjoy the outdoors.

When Robin first told me about the product, I laughed.

A software cook top? It's soft.

It's designed for people

who can't even read their own compass.

But, you're right.

Nature does belong to everyone.

And I would love to work with you, Rebecca.

As would I, but I didn't craft the pitch myself.

Nathan did most of the work. I'll need him on my team.

I am ready to start selling something that I believe in.

I've waited my entire life for a product like this.

Okay, Nathan, you don't need to do the sales pitch.

You got the job.

- I do? - Under one condition,

that there is full transparency moving forward.

Yes, yes, of course.

Welcome to IAM, officially. Congratulations.

Wow!

We did it!

I just wanna say thank you.

You inspired me to be more confident.

Not that I'm as confident as you are, but working at it.

Aww, Cameron.

I'll call you when I get home. Okay?

Okay, I can't wait. We're officially work colleagues.

Nope, we're officially friends.

Rebecca.

- Bye. - Bye.

- What a duo. - What a duo.

You know, we really pulled this off, didn't we?

Guess we're not such bad partners after all.

And think, we meant 10 days ago on that elevator

that you just wouldn't close.

You're obsessed.

I just wanna know your number. 20?

I mean we have 20 people on the elevator

and a 21st, you gotta hold the door.

- Nathan. - Yes?

Next time you're racing towards an elevator,

- and I'm inside it. - Yeah?

You know what I'm gonna do?

Hold the door?

Not a chance.
