StartUp

Oh, man, we have a small problem. - Word?

- This hacker guy, he took all of it.

That Blush dude money. All that money.

- Uggh! - Committed multiple felonies.

- We got hacked. - But you didn't report it.

- Someone had to know, someone who'd been following the money.

- Hey, that's hood money, dawg. That money belonged to me.

- If they don't get 300 from me, they're coming for you.

- We have a meeting with Alex Bell on Tuesday.

- We take our 20 G's, make 'em think they're about

to be part of something cutting edge.

Then ask them to double down. - It's actually a Ponzi scheme.

- I'm sure my lawyers can sort all this out.

- Shit. - Where you going, blood?

I have an idea.

-Ready for this ass-whuppin' boy? Huh?

Oh, yeah. Oh, you are. Okay.

What you doin'? What you doin'? Get off, man.

Ooh, too big for you. Too big for you, look at you.

Ahh! Whoo!

Like father, like son, huh?

'Cause your daddy can't ball for shit. Now watch this.

Come on, little nigga, I own these courts.

Me, not you, me.

I own these courts, boy!

Yeah.

Oh, you think you... You think you tough?

Come on, son.

Come on, little nigga, you don't own these courts.

I own these courts, me!

Ah!

Like father, like son, boy!

Huh?

Oh, yeah.

That's called a rejection, son.

You got rejected.

Here you go. I'm right here.

What's up with it? Come on, little nigga.

You ready?

Your girl gonna let you in them drawers, you holding a ball like that?

Lil' Touie?

Huh? What's up with all that shit you was talkin', huh?

Whoo!

Yeah, lookie here, lookie here.

Hey, y'all see that?

Y'all see that?

This young nigga got heart right here.

Feel me? You a'ight?

I'm straight.

- Ain't seen your daddy around much lately.

He off doin' his own thing now, or what?

You know, just what it is.

Just how he do, huh?

I know you seen him trippin', though, ain't that right?

- You know, but I ain't like that.

Oh, you ain't?

Nah, I'm straight, dawg.

A'ight, good.

'Cause he trippin' if he believe all that Tintin shit he been spittin'.

Shit goin' off around here soon.

Them Towners, they gonna come back at us, dawg.

And shit with Lib City ain't gonna stay quiet too much longer.

You feel me?

I feel you.

- You're gonna have to make a choice, little homey.

You gonna go down with your daddy's ship...

or you gonna ride high with me, O, and the rest?

You gonna be great, man.

You gonna own these streets.

You.

You and O...

Kings, dawg. Feel me?

I feel you.

Out, out.

Get your game on, lil' nigga.

Shit.

- Uh, excuse me, Mr. Bell. Hi. - Sorry, now is not a good time.

-Yeah. You guys going up to RadCoin, meeting Maya Hibert?

Yeah.

- Yeah. You don't know me, although you should,

so I'm gonna give you one of these.

What you're about to hear up there is bullshit.

RadCoin is bullshit.

It's a gimmick.

This right here is the real deal.

It's the future of currency, but I'll let you decide for yourself.

My number's on the back.

Maya, she can't stand in this game alone,

- I hope you know that. - Thanks.

Okay.

- Alex. - Yeah.

- Hey, Pauly. - Ah, my man.

The usual? - Please.

Oh, shit.

Listen, I'm sorry. Gotta be that guy.

Ha ha, no problem, Phil.

Charge me the $2 fee.

- No worries, my man. - I got you.

Whoops. This one says declined.

What? Uh...

All right, here, here. Try this?

- Okay. - Thanks.

Machine's had a mind of its own lately.

No worry. Just take this one on me.

No, Pauly, you don't have to do that.

- It's my pleasure. I know you'll be back.

Thanks.

Hector.

Agent Rask.

Yeah.

Special Agent Kossaras.

Special Agent Guerra, Missing Persons. -Hi.

- We were just upstairs chatting with your colleagues.

Right.

-We're investigating the disappearance of Agent Pierce.

Thought you might be able to help us out.

- Agent Pierce? Is this... is this a joke?

I saw her the other day.

Yesterday, the other day?

- No, not yesterday. - It was, um, Tuesday, I think.

- It's been over 48 hours since anyone's heard from her.

She missed two check-ins with HQ.

- What? - Were you working

any investigations that may have placed her in harm's way?

Someone she was tailing, someone she rubbed wrong?

-Not that I can... you don't think it's anything serious, do you?

We're exploring every possible angle.

What about the Andy Talman case?

There was a link to the LH7 gang there, was there not?

- A Ronald Dacey? - Yeah, somewhat, somewhat,

but I don't think they would ever, uh...

- Again, exploring every angle here.

As one of our own, we have to be as aggressive as possible.

-Of course, yeah. If there's anything I can do, please, let me know.

-All right. We'll be in touch. Thank you.

- See you around. - Yeah.

Yeah.

- Can you see my cards? - No.

- Thanks. - 10 yours? Do you want that?

Yeah. Thank you.

Hello, this is Izzy.

Yeah.

Yeah.

Uh... f... can... Can you text me that?

All right, uh, thank you.

We're in.

- Who that? - Alex Bell.

That was him?

Really? - Yes.

- When? - Tomorrow.

- That's great! Woo-hoo!

- He said to bring our bathing suits.

She. His assistant.

- Why? - I don't know.

Who is Alex?

Megan, shut up.

Yo.

Yo. You didn't bring your swimsuit?

- Are you serious about that? - Yeah.

He said bring 'em. I brought mine.

You bring yours?

- I sure did, yeah. I got an extra one in the trunk.

- Pssh. I ain't puttin' my shit in the same spot as your shit.

Oh, my God. You brought a tank top, though?

Yo, Ronald, seriously.

This guy's the real deal. Like he's the new Elon Musk.

If the man says, "Bring a bathing suit"...

Shit.

What is wrong with my hotspot? You have Wi-Fi in here?

Probably.

- Got it. - Damn.

Look at this.

He has stakes in some of the biggest tech companies

out there right now. The hypersonic scramjet thing.

Get you from London to Sydney in like two hours.

If the man says, "Let's go swimming," we go swimming.

-Hey, look, he's either buying what the hell we selling or he ain't.

It's all good, but I ain't kissin' nobody's ass.

Man, you're stubborn.

Why you got to be so complicated?

Okay, buckle up.

- I hate pitching. - You'll be all right.

- You're really good at it. - It makes me wanna puke.

- You're passionate, that's all that matters.

- Why can't you do the whole thing?

- Because he doesn't want to hear from me.

You're the brilliant mind, you're the creator.

And I sound like a damn fool.

- Hey, I'm here, aren't I? - Yeah.

- I called you for a reason. Remember that.

- All right. - Just take this.

- GenCoin! - Hey.

- Hi! - Hey, you guys, come on in.

- Nick Talman. - Good to meet you, man.

- Good to meet you. - Ronald. Sup?

- Pleasure. How's it going? - All good.

- Yeah. Oh, well, welcome, welcome, welcome.

And we met earlier. Isabelle, right?
