Equity Page #4

- There will probably be others.

- Others? What do you mean?

What do you mean

what do I mean?

That's what we do for a challenge.

The naked photos, who knows?

All right, it's called

a man-in-the-middle attack.

So users want to be able to access the

network on multiple devices, obviously.

But that opens up the possibility

of somebody...

...implanting malware

on the key server.

Uh, does Ed know about this?

Yeah, I tried to tell him,

and he said that I was paranoid.

Funny, when a company built on paranoia

thinks that I'm the one who's paranoid.

He's a total prick. I'm the best coder,

and he treats me like I don't exist...

...and dismisses everything

that I have to say.

I cannot work at this company anymore.

I need to sell my shares.

- Okay.

- Help me do that?

No. No, I don't do that.

I don't think you understand.

I have other stuff I can do with my time.

I'm planning on starting a hacker space.

We're just waiting on--

I got to go. This is useless.

- They're going public very soon.

ERIN:
I heard that's a rumor.

- Yeah.

- Have you always wanted to be CEO?

- I would want to be CEO.

-No, actually.

ERIN:
Really?

ED:
I don't know. I mean...

I can always use more high tops.

- Well, yeah. Ha, ha.

- Everyone needs--

- That's not what I would buy.

- Tasmanian sea trout?

Yummy.

Hi, Naomi.

Hello, Edward.

- Take a seat.

- Thank you.

Ed...

...are you ready to be

the rock star of this road show?

Because people,

they're gonna want to tear...

...this hoodie off of you.

Oh, yeah.

I just wanted to make sure

that we're in good shape...

-...before I take off for New York.

- Oh. I'm in very good shape.

Excellent.

I just have one question for you.

It's probably not a big deal...

...but something did come up

during due diligence.

A rumor started that your network,

as encrypted as it is...

...might be vulnerable still

to a certain kind of hacker.

- Sounds like you met Marin.

- Yes, actually.

And I was interviewing employees and--

Unfortunately, our business can attract

some colorful characters.

Right.

But you need to make sure

that your employees...

...are as much a firewall as your code.

[CHUCKLES]

Look.

I can promise you

we've never been hacked.

Okay.

In theory, there's a back door

to everything.

But we stay one step ahead.

That's the game.

Good.

That's what I wanted to hear.

Well, you two enjoy

your dinner, and...

...it's on me.

I should go.

- This was fun. I'll call you tomorrow.

- Sure.

ERIN:

Naomi?

Do you need me

to look into this?

I can totally

take care of things here.

Well, you seem to be

taking care of Ed.

I'm just trying to preserve

the relationship.

Okay, good.

So maybe you can find a way...

...to get him to sign an indemnity clause,

because if there is any vulnerability...

...for our investors here,

we cannot be liable.

I'll handle it.

When Ed hits on you,

which he may have already...

...whatever you do with that,

that's your business.

But you have to handle him

professionally and very, very gently.

Okay?

Yeah.

I know how this works.

Good. Excellent.

Nice dress.

RANDALL:

What the f*** happened this time?

- What do you mean?

RANDALL:
I got a call from Ed.

It appears you've managed

to rub him the wrong way.

L... I was doing my due diligence.

You can't push too hard.

Cachet provided you with

all the necessary documents.

- Well--

- Ed feels...

...like you lack confidence in his IPO!

No one wants to be told

they have an ugly baby!

What is the f***ing problem?

There is no problem.

It's a beautiful f***ing baby...

...and I have absolute confidence

in this IPO.

Terrific.

Great. So are we done here?

Because I've got

a road show to launch.

- You pissed off Ed.

ERIN:
Wait.

- I pissed off Ed?

- What happened?

I told you you have to treat

a guy like that very, very gently.

What happened was I got him

to sign the indemnity clause.

Wait.

- You did?

- Yeah...

...because I handled him

very, very gently.

Well...

...good work.

Thank you.

ED:
Cachet is not a social network

with privacy settings.

We're a privacy company

that can build a social network.

You guys want in on this now.

I know the experts are

impressed by your encryption...

...but what if I'm a hacker

and I break into your server?

Well, that's why we use

end-to-end encryption.

Unencrypted content

is never on the server.

- Don't forget about ephemeral storage.

- This thing's gonna explode.

- You want to get in now.

- Dude, my dad keeps texting me.

- He wants a piece of Cachet.

- Heh.

ED:
We're here to talk about

human connection in the digital age.

People crave this connection.

But they don't want Big Brother

tracking their every move.

They don't want the NSA

monitoring pictures of their kids.

That's where we come in.

TEDDY:
Hey, do any of the hotels

in London have pools?

BILL:

I'll find us a pool, hold on.

- Last time in London, I was wasted.

- Yeah, I remember.

Trying to do your accent

for that chick.

I'm gonna be someone's

American boy.

NAOMI:
You know as well as I do

social media has overtaken the world.

There's Facebook, there's Instagram,

there's Snapchat, there's Twitter...

...and if you are anything like me...

...privacy is

the most important thing.

Knowing that nobody can get

that information about you.

- That's the word. Security and safety.

- All right.

BILL:
Yo, we should rent a car.

TEDDY:
Are we not getting cars?

BILL:

I'm thinking Ferrari, man.

Yeah, do that,

see what Naomi says.

TEDDY:

Coming in on your left here, pal.

Gonna want to get in on this early.

Oh, my God, thank you so much.

That's so sweet.

NAOMI:

This is the genius of Cachet.

They allow you to engage

in that social media world...

...but it is locked down. It is airtight.

ED:
Big smiles. We're gonna

make a lot of money.

[CAMERA CLICKS]

MICHAEL:

Hey, Bankerchick. Welcome home.

If you're done

with room service...

...how does homemade

truffle pasta sound?

Vi

SAM:

Hey, how'd we do with the wiretap?

Okay. Keep me posted.

I'm gonna get these f***ers.

Five minutes!

[MAN SPEAKING INDISTINCTLY]

JOHN:

Well, hello there.

Thank you, Mike.

JOHN:

Naomi.

John.

[SIGHS]

So you want to play?

Because I didn't

spend all those Sundays...

...working on your swing so you just

ride around in a golf cart.

You want me to play in this?

Oh, yeah, you'd never

pass the dress code.

Heh. Well, you can take care of that.

You own the place.

Yeah, well, yeah,

I had to do something.

And now I am bored

out of my f***ing mind.

[NAOMI CHUCKLING]

And now she's backpedaling.

She won't give me

anything concrete.

And on paper?

Everything looks perfect.

Our I.T. guys at Remson tested it.

They say this network is as airtight...

-...as anything they've ever seen.

- So, what's the problem?

[GOLF BALL RATTLES IN CUP]

There's just this nagging feeling

that after Dynacorps...

John, I just don't want

to make the wrong move here.
