StartUp

- I want my money, Isabelle. - Your money's safe.

Nick's invested in a startup.

- Agent Rask? Special Agent Madeline Pierce.

-Pleasure. Today's all about Andrew Talman.

So, who gave you that money? My dad!

He launders money through his bank.

I swore I would never be that person.

- I was this close to losing you today.

You kill one of us, we gonna kill 10 of y'all!

We're gonna get the rest tomorrow.

- No, you're not. I wanna be your partner.

- We still need eight million to get GenCoin on its feet.

- I know a lot of people. - And so does he.

Why not give him a shot?

Jesus Christ.

Pass to... three on one.

Takes it down to the net, shoots.

Welcome, my friend.

Please, would you like a drink? Give me the glass.

- You like this girl? This is a good girl, huh?

Karina. - Where's Daewon?

- Daewon? I don't know who this is.

- Vadik, you do. You know how I know?

-Tell me. -'Cause after the last time I was here,

I went back to my desk, I watched, and I waited

until four million US suddenly vanished from Deutsche Bank

and magically reappeared in six different shell companies

from Malaysia to the Virgin Islands.

Oh yes.

I retraced each one of them...

Where it moved, how it moved.

And there's only one person in my mind

who could manage all of that so quickly, so cleanly.

Daewon?

He's not here. Look around.

My guy traced the IP address back here...

this morning.

You, my friend, look like someone who works very hard, huh?

Maybe you should have a little fun.

- Please, take Karina. Don't do that. Don't do that.

I said don't do that!

Don't do that.

Sure, okay.

What? What?

- Feds. We have to go now. - Two minute, almost done.

- Show me. - Show you what?

That he's not here. Show me.

Do you have a warrant?

Be smart.

Let's go!

Every time you come here, you bust my balls for information,

and I give it to you, don't I? Don't I?

Come on, hurry. Let's go!

Put it away. Come on.

Let's go.

Get... get down!

Arms!

Jesus. Yeah. Ooh.

- Unfortunately, I-I-I... I have to resign here.

- Oh, wow. - Yeah.

Okay.

Okay.

Wasn't expecting that.

- You know, half this world ain't got access to banking.

You go to some messed up village in Sudan where a nigga ain't got two coins to rub together,

guarantee you, he still got a cell phone.

-Thanks for making it. When'd you get in? -Saturday.

It's... it's lunches, dinners, and just... -Lunches, dinners.

Look, I know the powder been good to y'all,

but it's 2016. The feds are locking that shit down.

It's time to start looking ahead.

- I got like $200,000 in student loans,

I have interest climbing every day,

and I can't even justify why I got 'em in the first place.

So, the difference between BitCoin and this and other cryptocurrencies

is that we have the best one.

And I know that we have a better than the best one,

we have "the" one, and...

quality and class tells over time.

- Digital currency. - Free from government.

All you need is this here.

We've actually already raised 2.2 million very fast,

and we're looking for an additional eight to launch.

- So, what type of team do you have?

- We're just starting to assemble that,

so the team is being built as we speak.

- Okay. - What does Taylor have to say?

Have you talked to her about it?

- Things been quiet between us for a minute,

so this ain't no olive branch or nothin' like that.

Straight up business. You feel me?

- Um, we are gonna put 5.3 towards marketing and PR.

The goal with these things always has to be

to generate a massive awareness before the launch.

I just wanted to see if you wanted

to get in on the ground floor of something big.

A'ight, check this out. Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa.

- Your PR expertise and, to put it bluntly,

your PR capital would go a long way,

'cause that's what we want to put a lot of the money into.

- Cryptocurrency. What you think?

- I'll have some of my guys take a look at her code,

and we'll just... we'll... We'll circle back

in a couple of weeks, okay?

- Well, here's what I would say. Definitely do that,

but the sooner the better, only because we're moving very, very fast

- I'm sorry. I gotta go. - All right. Feel better.

- Come up here, think you gonna take us for some sorta ride?

- I'm just offering you a little piece.

That's all, my nigga. - Ain't gonna happen.

-This the kinda game, bring the Puerto Ricans up like the Cubans?

- This company is truly the future of currency.

It's a pleasure.

I got plenty more trees to shake. Y'all don't fret.

- No, it's fine. We'll just launch in 2056.

- Bitch, it's only been a few days.

- Truly, "the currency of the future."

- Yeah, what about you? - A family of dry foots?

-Family doesn't have money. I thought I told you that already.

-Yeah, but they know some folks that do. Ain't that right?

I can't do that.

- What about the first three you gave Nick's dad?

You can't get more? - More?

That first three, that was everything.

Our entire hood, that was our stash.

Ain't come from one of us. Came from all of us.

But you gimme some time, I can...

I can make shit work.

The DR's and us, we working on an alliance. -What's that?

- The gang? - What's the D...?

The D... No.

No. No more gang money. This is supposed to be a legitimate business.

- Oh yeah, South Beach, 'cause your...

Your seed money looking real legit right now.

- That is different. - How is it different?

- It's... just trust me, it's different.

Boy, you are tripping.

Ronald, we made you a partner

because you'd secure more investors!

-Made him a partner 'cause he hit me in the head with a gun. -Man up! Nick!

-Yeah, I'll do it again, you don't watch your goddamn mouth, son.

-All right, you see? I don't need that. -Shit!

- I don't... You just gonna walk away like that, white boy?

-Yes! I don't need some, some... -Some what?

Go on. Spit, South Beach.

Just say "nigga," be done with it.

- God, I was not gonna say that! - No! No!

- Listen! Do me a favor. - That's not what this... shut up!

-Let me know when there's no one making threats to me or my entire family.

We can talk about business. -Let me know when you grow a sack of nuts.

-Really? -Listen, I believed in GenCoin, Izzy.

I still do, but not like this. - Nick.

-Not if it's gonna be like this, no. -Nick.

Do we even need that cracker?

You're an asshole.

Right, well, they didn't confirm yet officially, though, did they?

Y-y... honestly, I think we can just scrap the chairs altogether.

People are gonna be out there for like five, 10 minutes tops.

Yeah. No, let's-let's, uh, let's just scrap it.

Umm... okay, have a good one.

Bye.

Hey, sorry about that.

This thing on Saturday's gotten way bigger than I expected.

- No, it's good. Your dad's thing?

Yeah, his fundraiser.

I was thinking about putting you in a foursome with him.

-Really? -I mean, you totally don't need to go if you don't want to.

-I just don't want him to try and hook me up with a job or anything.

- I know, I know, but look, that's my dad, okay?

-It's literally the only way he knows how to show people he cares about 'em.

He likes you. - No, he doesn't.

- Yes, he does. - No, he doesn't.

- Trust me, compared to other Nick,

all those tattoos... - Don't talk to me

about other Nick. - If you really don't want to go,

you don't have to.

I just thought you might want to rub some elbows.

Okay.

I'll go.

- You sure? - Yeah, absolutely.

I just gotta find my clubs, gotta learn how to be racist.

Oh, that's so sweet.

Thank you for doing that for me.

- You're welcome. - Yeah.

I'm open for business again, by the way.

- So am I. - Oh, really?

- Mm-hmm. - Mmm.

Okay.

Who is that?

Are you expecting someone?

- No. Are you? - Are you sure?

No.

- Just... damn it. - Ignore it.

No, come on. - Damn it.

- No. Babe. - No, one second.

Let me just... I think I know. Let me... -Babe. Babe.

- Don't. No. - Just wait for me.

- Nick. - Not here.

I'll meet you in the car. I'll meet you in the car.

You can't just come to my house. Why would you come to my house?
