I found VCs for that kid

when he had five employees.

Huh.

[CHUCKLES]

[GABE GROANS]

GABE:

What time's your car coming?

ERIN:

Four-thirty.

GABE:

Oh, Jesus, babe.

You need to sleep.

Please don't tell me

what I need.

Okay. I get it.

You have to win the bake sale.

Bake off.

Bring me a brownie.

Hm. I am bringing home

the f***ing bakery.

- Yes!

- Yes.

That's right.

Oh, where are you going?

ERIN:

Heh. I'm going to bed.

I hope I never have

to battle you for anything.

Because you'd lose.

Vi

Here's your coffees.

- Thank you so much. I appreciate that.

- Thanks.

- Hey, was that Channing Trust?

- Yeah, dude.

My uncle said Remson's tapping the guy

with the glasses for new global head.

NAOMI:
When I was a kid,

if you wanted privacy...

...if you wanted

to send a secret message...

...you made invisible ink

with vinegar.

And when you were ready

to go public...

...you revealed your secret message

with grape juice.

Hm.

But there's nothing secret...

...about what brings us all

together today.

I'd like to introduce you

to my VP Erin Manning.

She'll go through

some specifics of our proposal.

Cachet certainly has taken

privacy to the next level...

...and we are so pleased

to have had a chance...

...to foster that growth.

If you open your pitch books

to page two...

...you'll see in the first model,

we're predicting a valuation...

...of a little over a billion,

at 34 to 36 a share.

Well, you're certainly presenting us

with some compelling numbers.

You guys can tell

we've done our homework.

But...

...that's not why you're gonna

give me this deal.

Okay.

I remember what you told me

the first day we met.

You said, "We're not

a social media company...

...with privacy settings.

We're a privacy company

that can build a social network.

An impenetrable social network."

I understood that.

The need for it.

I felt it in my gut.

Now, some other people

thought you guys were paranoid.

Right?

Investors wouldn't go for it.

Now fast forward.

Edward Snowden.

The Sony hack.

Nude photos of actresses.

Your revenue jumps.

Your competitors start rolling out.

But we were ahead of the curve...

...because we understood

that it gets harder every day...

...to trust people in this world.

And security

is the hottest commodity.

NAOMI:
Cheers.

ERIN:
Cheers.

- Go, us.

- Well done. Heh, heh.

MAN 1:
Cheers.

MAN 2:
Cheers.

No, no, no. Don't stand up.

I'm with a client.

I just wanted to say, uh...

...congratulations.

- Great work, all of you.

- Thank you.

- Thank you. Randall, you know Erin?

- Of course.

She did spectacular work

on this one.

Always good to hear.

Again, congratulations.

I recommend the New York Strip.

Heh, heh.

- New York Strip it is.

- Well...

[DOOR OPENS]

How far along are you?

It's really early.

Six weeks?

Wow.

Well, congratulations.

Thanks.

Okay, I'll see you in a minute.

Oh, f***.

Vi

Mark your calendars.

August 28th will be the IPO

for the privacy company Cachet.

Seems like every time

there's a hacking scandal...

...Cachet's sales

increase dramatically.

Bloomberg News has learned

that Naomi Bishop...

...will be the lead banker on the deal.

Some money managers

surprised by this...

...after she ruffled some feathers

in an earlier IPO. Also in the new--

[TV TURNS OFF]

[JAZZ lvluslc

PLAYING OVER SPEAKERS]

Thank you.

Step away from the blackberry.

[CHUCKLES]

Ah!

Jeez.

Nicely done.

You know what's weird

about the whole privacy thing?

What?

Half the world is paranoid...

...and the other half's password

is "password."

[CHUCKLING]

That's true.

What's your lamest password?

I'm so not telling you

my passwords.

Oh, come on, old school.

Like '96.

-'96? I...

- Mm-hm.

-"Bankerchick."

- Oh.

-"Bankerchick," huh?

- Mm-hm.

That's really kind of hot.

- Is it?

- Mm.

Hell, yeah, Bankerchick.

[NAOMI MOANS]

[DOORBELL BUZZES]

Who the hell is that?

I don't know.

Oh, sh*t.

It's Erin.

VP Erin?

MICHAEL:

Hi, Erin.

Hi.

Sorry.

Thanks.

Bye, Erin.

Bye.

Now...

...where were we?

[NAOMI MOANING

AND BREATHING HEAVILY]

NAOMI [ON RECORDING]: This is Naomi.

MICHAEL:
Hey, gorgeous.

How are things

up on the 11th floor?

NAOMI:
Mm. You still have

the better view, but it's a good day.

MICHAEL:
Pitch went well?

- Turn on Bloomberg.

MICHAEL:

Then let's celebrate.

NAON:

Okay, later.

MICHAEL:
Later? What about

that empty office up on 18?

NAOMI:
Michael.

- What are you wearing?

NAOMI:

Heh, heh. Michael, we cannot.

MICHAEL:

Hey, Compliance, are you listening?

The only wall we're crossing here

is the wall of love.

NAOMI:

Oh, Mich--

[RECORDING STOPS]

Never a dull moment

here in Compliance.

That-- That's his company phone?

Isn't that crossing the wall?

Well, technically there's

nothing criminal here.

So Remson doesn't have

a policy prohibiting...

...this kind of romantic relationship

between two employees?

Some banks do, but nope.

What's your gut on this guy?

Vi

Michael?

He has instincts.

Some people have instincts.

Some people are getting a tip.

And?

We keep our eye on him.

Hello.

MICHAEL:

Hey.

Here you go.

Thank you.

[COFFEEMAKER WHIRRING]

Remind me why I didn't marry you.

Diamonds.

Remson holiday party,

'90-something.

Randall introduced us?

- The St. Regis.

- Yes.

You asked me who bought these...

...and I saw you puff up your chest,

ready to fight off some rival...

...but then I told you

I bought them for myself.

- Ah.

- Mm-hm.

Yeah, well, men like a girl

they can take care of.

Someone should remind them

about alimony.

[NAOMI CHUCKLES]

People seem to like

your Cachet thing.

Yeah.

- Remember my friend Marco?

- Um...

Oh, from Stanford, right?

The tech blogger guy?

Yeah, he writes about

encryption and secrecy...

...whisper-funds,

all that kind of spy sh*t.

He seemed to think that

Cachet was gonna go well.

We hope so.

Yeah, what about you?

Think they're onto something?

I do.

Have you started

due diligence yet?

[INHALES SHARPLY]

- Michael.

- Hm?

What, you... You want to build

a Chinese wall in my apartment?

Well, I just-- I think it's simpler

and better if we don't talk shop.

Okay.

Okay.

Vi

SOPHIE:

Who's watching us tonight?

Hello? Sam? Sophie wants to know

who's babysitting them tonight.

Uh, Lisa from downstairs.

I hate Lisa.

You don't hate Lisa.

She's got weird hair.

Okay, that is not kind.

SOPHIE:
She's not a real babysitter.

MELANIE:
You know, they do have a point.

You know I have rehearsal

every Tuesday.

Something came up. It happens.

Drinks?

With some friend from childhood?

- I told you, it's work.

- Mm-hm.

Are you investigating her?

Lisa is fine.

You crazies love the games

on her phone, don't you?

Don't you?

Don't you? Who am I gonna get?

Who am I gonna get?

[SAM LAUGHING]

I'm gonna get those feet.

- Hey, you, hey...

- And she's affordable.

You go. I'll wait.

I'm totally gonna get you.

-I'm gonna be late. Got to go.
