StartUp

- I'm about to tell these three that I'm gonna

- fully finance their startup. - Vera at that booth

with some Russians, been getting all chummy all night.

We've been looking into your guys,

and it seems like they've been getting cozy with Alex Bell.

- I'll be gone before you get home.

- Your daddy, he gave us no choice.

- Special Agent Rask? - We found a body.

- Let's make this very, very public.

I killed my partner.

Dacey! Dacey! Dacey!

Dacey! Dacey! Dacey! Dacey! Dacey! Dacey!

Dacey! Dacey! Dacey!

Dacey! Dacey! Dacey! Dacey! Dacey!

We gonna help with the burial.

Anything that you need.

Dawg, you for real?

You think I'd play on that?

- I'm saying, after everything, man.

- Shit, I say let's just dump his body off the overpass

and be done with it.

Jey was your friend, man.

He was your friend. He was your friend.

Jey was like blood to all o' us.

It don't matter that he got rotten inside.

Come on. We all get rotten inside,

at some point or another. Ain't that right?

That don't change who you was.

That don't change who you is.

If you stray...

I'd do the same thing for you.

I'd do the same thing for all y'all.

- So, what, you want the parade, the whole nine, all that?

Put him in the ground right.

Did you see him?

Mm-hm.

So, what are we gonna do now?

- When our old girls came here...

they didn't have nothing to leave us behind.

I'm gonna walk in there, and I'm gonna sign them papers.

And when GenCoin pop...

One. One. One. One.

Each one of us comin' up.

We gonna bring new business to this hood.

Have somethin' to leave Touie and Elsie behind.

Have something for everybody out there to leave something behind for their.

And with Overtown, Lib City, all them,

see what these Haitians done did,

what we done made, the legacy we leave behind...

they gonna wanna know how.

Maybe we tell them.

- Hey, Megan. - Hi, Izzy.

- Hey. What's, um... What's going on?

I don't know.

- Who are all these people? - I don't know.

- I never ask them how old they are.

- Hey. Hi. - Izzy. How's it going?

- Good. - Do... do you wanna sit?

- Why not? - Yeah. I mean,

we made ourselves at home, is that all right?

- Yeah. - Yeah? Do you want some food?

Huh? Got a lot of fruit. - No, I'm okay.

I'll... I'll take some water. - Oh, sure.

- Yeah? - Yeah. Water.

Stay hydrated.

Mm. - Thank you.

- So we've been talking, all of us, over the last 24 hours.

We're ready to make this a reality.

But the deal needs to be with just you.

Nicholas Talman and Ronald Dacey

will claim no ownership to GenCoin.

They'll hold no stock.

You never signed anything with them, correct?

Uh, no. No, I mean...

- Then it's your IP and yours only.

-Yeah, but they've... they've been here since the start.

- Yeah, so they're nice guys, really like them both,

but... I mean, how long would you say

you've been writing this code? Five years?

Seven, if you count those false starts.

And they've been here, what, a month?

They just don't bring anything to the table.

- Yeah, we need to clear way for partnerships

that are gonna mean something to GenCoin.

And you yourself would be a controlling partner,

and board member, along with Alex.

If you'll have me.

And I'd like to bring in one

additional third-party component.

- This is Mimi Strickland. - Hi.

Your code is awesome. - Thanks.

Mimi runs a company called Eden Field out of Austin.

They are one of the largest

and most secure server farms in the world.

- As a partner, I'd be able to provide you with the bandwidth

and instant global reach GenCoin would require.

Yeah. I mean, this is gonna be so huge, Izzy.

You realize that.

It's gonna take off like a rocket,

and we're gonna need someone like Eden Field

in order to just keep us online.

Yourself, Miss Strickland, and Mr. Bell

will serve as board members and equal shareholders.

- And, uh, who... Who are they?

- Uh... - Business affairs.

- Consultants. Legal team. - Your team.

This, all of us, everyone.

A team.

Um...

It's a lot, I know.

Can I, um...

Can I think about it for a day? Or two?

- For a number of reasons, I have to act quickly on this.

Otherwise, I'm forced to move on.

The choice is yours.

- There's no way that you can let them stay?

Things would get a little too messy, unfortunately.

They'll be taken care of. Totally compensated for their time.

This contract will activate funds immediately...

and place you on as one of three board members.

-If you wanna lead, these are the tough choices you have to make.

All right. Just a few other, minor things.

Congrats. Whoo!

Also, uh... I went ahead

and arranged a little event for tonight at my place.

It's a PR thing, get the buzz going way before launch.

-Wear something nice. It's gonna be your big coming out.

She can help you pick it out if you want.

She picks out all my clothes.

- All right. - All right!

I gotta go find me an outfit.

What's up, Megan?

No one called me.

Hey. Morning.

She already signed?

No. It's bullshit. I'm not signing that.

- It sort of doesn't matter. - Kinda just a formality.

You had no rights to begin with, so...

it is what it is.

- The office. I paid with my own money.

And we will be paying you back,

plus a severance... as a gesture of good faith.

You'll have the full $300,000 returned to you,

plus an extra $150,000 to cover interest,

damages, and just... over all, as a gesture of good faith.

We all really appreciate what you've done for GenCoin.

- Twelve grand? Twelve grand?

- Unfortunately, I'm going into my own pocket

to repay Benedict Blush for all the money you lost.

- An investigation would be bad... for all of us.

It would be in your best interest to take the deal

and never look back.

Never look back? Hm?

You should let us clean up your mess and move on.

I know that you are passionate about this project.

I know that you believe in it,

which is why it would be best

that you stay as far away as possible.

For the good of GenCoin.

I know what you are.

Do you?

So then you understand why it'd be best to never look back.

I want you out of here. Okay?

Fucking place is leased under my name,

so you need to get out.

- I bought the building from Larry yesterday.

Oh, God!

Oh, you just gonna skip off like that?

- Are you serious? - You have no idea

what we been through the past month!

Had our lives turned upside down,

breaking our back for this company!

- You know what? Suck my dick, both of you.

- Really? - Yeah, you're lucky

I let you be a part of this in the first place.

This is my company,

my idea, my baby, my code.

You had jack shit to do with it.

You just don't get it,

'cause you don't care about nobody but yourself.

You're using us just like you use everybody in your life!

'Cause you don't care about nobody!

That's real talk, girl.

Goddamn coward!

That's what you are, girl!

Coward! Shit.

You eat pig?

Do... do I eat pig?

What do you mean?

Tam.

She makin' griot tonight. You should come hang.

-Okay. -Hey, your girl done kicked you out,

looks like you down another job. You might as well...

might as well not eat alone. Know what I'm saying?

Let us show you some Haitian hospitality.

Brethren. - All right.

- All right. - I will, thank you.

- All right. - Let me bring over

a bottle of wine, some white shit.

- Just bring... bring yourself. Just bring your white-ass self.
