Lies Between Friends

Woohoo! Yeah...

We're already good.

Get in on this.

Yeah, it's a rush.

Oh, I...

No, I would-- - no, no, no.

You are not allowed to say

You blew your whole paycheque on the booze

Or you gotta watch your budget or whatever.

I told you, you never have to worry about money with me.

What's mine is yours, man. Always.

- I'll owe you. - But I'll never collect.

Ever tell you how this guy's coding

Is gonna make us both famous?

Do it.

It'll kick in in a few minutes.

Okay.

What's wrong with her?

Is she okay? - She's fine.

Right, babe?

Anna? Anna.

Call 911.

Oh my... Oh my god.

Ollie, call 911!

Anna?

Anna?! Anna! Anna!

Anna, please wake up. Anna!

Anna, anna, wake up, please. Please, anna.

- Please dad, you're not listening to me.

Dad, anna is dead.

Screw your campaign, you really think I care

About some senate seat right now?

Do you understand that my life is over?

School, my career, steve's...

It's all over.

Please, dad. I'm really scared right now, just help me.

Please. I'll call you back.

She got the pills from me.

Steve?

: Oliver wasmund, the wealthy entrepreneur

And son of late senator james wasmund,

Is at it again and this time, he's launching a new company

Meant to help consumers take charge of their own finances.

Oliver is founder and ceo... - Oh, hey.

It's your old college roommate, right? It's ollie something?

That's him.

- He's done really well for himself.

Sure has.

But I bet you're gonna do even better some day.

- Dad. - What? It's true.

Smartest person I know.

Did you hear back from seattle tech yet?

Actually, yes.

I got in.

- What? - Can start winter quarter.

- Oh my god, that's amazing! Why didn't you tell me?

- I don't know, I guess I just, I don't really know like...

How I'm gonna pay for it.

Um, well. We'll figure it out.

Mm. Didn't you apply for a scholarship or...

Did those come through?

- Yeah, yeah. They did. But it doesn't cover housing.

Seattle's so expensive.

- Well, you can stay here as long as you like.

School's like two hours away.

Besides, I can't live in your place forever.

It's too bad I don't know anyone who lives in seattle.

Ollie lives in seattle.

- Ollie? - Yeah.

Maybe I can give him a call.

- Um, when was the last time you even talked to him?

Ooh, oh, it's been a while.

- That's okay, I'll figure something else out.

I'm sure they have like a...

Lottery or public housing, or something.

- Hey, maybe he knows of an affordable place.

Or heck, maybe he even has a room.

- I mean, are you sure you don't mind asking?

- You're my daughter, I'd do anything for you.

Besides, he'd probably like to see an old friend.

He owes me.

Used to do all his coding for his huge company he sold.

- Thanks, dad. It's really nice of you.

Dad, it's 9 am.

It was from last night.

- You have any job interviews today?

No.

I could send my resume out today, okay?

Promise. - Thanks, dad.

I love you.

I love you too.

hey, charlie!

Ow. Charlie! Can you go get ready for school, please?

Sophie, you're not even dressed yet, go change.

You're gonna make dad late for work.

- No, I thought it was your day to take 'em.

- No, I have to prep for my interview.

Well, I got a meeting at 8:30.

We talked about this, hon.

ugh. Hello.

Hi, steve, let me see if he's here.

: No, no.

Oh, shoot, you know what? You just missed him,

I'm seeing him pull out the driveway right now.

I'm so sorry.

Yeah, work has been crazy for him lately.

I will tell him you called. Again. Okay. Bye.

That's the third time this week.

You ever gonna call him back? Who is this guy exactly?

- He's like an old college roommate,

I haven't seen the guy in like 20 years.

Maybe I should just block his number.

- A little drastic, why don't you just see what he wants?

- Yeah, you're right. Listen, I'm sorry about this morning,

But I cannot miss this meeting. Are you okay to take 'em?

- Yes. I'll prep for my meeting in the car.

- You're the best. I love you. - Love you.

Okay, hey. Good luck.

Thanks.

So, I'm just thinking, fresh flowers, of course.

We can hold it outside and we can even do a theme

If that interests you. - This looks perfect.

You've planned some really high-profile events.

- Well, yeah. These aren't my photos,

They're just inspiration, but...

Can I see your portfolio?

- Well, I don't actually have a portfolio yet.

I'm just starting my own business.

- Okay. Well, diane never mentioned that

When she recommended you.

- Well, I could show you some kids' birthday parties

If you're interested. They're on my phone.

- Right. Well, we're really looking for someone

With more experience.

- Got it. Okay-- - the timeline's so tight.

Vips are involved. You understand?

Yes. I do. Totally. Of course.

- We just got an acquisition offer.

60 million.

- Nice! Not bad for a few years work.

- Maybe we can finally start spending some time

With our families.

- Yeah, what's that like? Ah. 60 mil, huh?

Pretty good.

- Pretty good. I think we can do better. 100 mil.

It'll take more time.

We'd have to double our revenues.

Take another round of funding.

Let's do it. Excuse me.

Yeah, this is ollie.

: I have steve bowser for you.

- You know what? Just send him through to voicemail. Thanks.

- Okay. - Okay. Where were we?

Loser.

Hey. Sophie, you okay?

Those girls being mean to you again?

I'm fine. Let's go.

Okay.

- Claire. Hey, claire. Can I walk with you?

Hey, pam. Yes, of course.

- So, how'd your big interview go?

- Oh, terribly. I mean, no one will hire me

Without a portfolio.

But how am I supposed to get a portfolio

If no one will hire me?

- You know, one of my good friends is looking

For a wedding planner.

She works in finance, I think her budget's pretty high.

- Yeah? - Want me to talk to her?

I mean, that would be amazing.

Thank you.

- So, with r&d spending, user acquisition

And partnerships, we're gonna need

An additional two million in capital.

- I'll call the vc, set up the pitch.

Great. Thanks, aaron.

hey, this is ollie.

: Steve bowser's here for you.

Oh, you know what,

Just keep sending him to voicemail, thanks.

- No, I mean, he's here. He wants to see you.

What, like, in person?

- Very much in person, he's kind of making a scene.

Should I call security or...

- No, I'll... I'll be right there.

He knows me, I swear!

Just give me an elevator pass and I can find his office.

Steve! It's okay, it's okay.

See? Told you I knew him.

There you are.

Hard man to get a hold of. - Yeah.

- How's it goin'? - You know.

- Did you get my calls? You never called back.

Yeah, I'm sorry about that.

It's been crazy busy around here,

It's the end of quarter, but come on,

Let's grab a seat. We'll catch up.

- Sure. - Yeah. So, how've you been?
