MARTINEZ:
Hey, what's up, Cap?

'Sup, baby?

TK: Little spring
in your step there, Cap.

You get laid or something?

Eh, I'm just feeling

a little more at home
in Austin.



Found an organic food market.

I found a vitamin shop
that sells

my fish oil supplements
I like,

a CorePower Yoga studio
within walking distance.

I mean, the place
is like New York

with just a lot less
trash on the street.

Here you go, Cap.

Mm.

Mmm.

Hey, you cut yourself, Cap?

Oh, that's the other thing.

I found a dermatologist
that follows the same

hair protocols as my guy
in New York City.

JUDD: You have hair protocols?



I'm putting in for a transfer.

Hey, go ahead and laugh,
but I'm convinced

it's the only reason
I haven't lost my hair.

Well...

Hey, I'm not trying
to hate on anyone

for taking advantage
of science to level up.

So every six weeks,
I get my scalp injected

with a drug
called finasteride.

It promotes hair growth.

I think it's that combination

of treatment and trauma

that really makes
your hair grow.

I also use finasteride drops
twice a day

and then once
at night orally.

Also, it's been great
for my prostate health.

I think
you'd look good bald.

JUDD: (chuckles)

MICHELLE: I like
that shaved head look.

Bruce Willis, The Rock--
it's super masculine.

Look, all I'm saying:
at a certain point,

a guy needs to have
a signature look,

something to define him.

I'm the guy with the hair.

I mean, every time I get
one of those caricatures

from a guy on the street,
my hair is, like, enormous.

MICHELLE: Every time?

How often do you sit
for one of those?

(laughter)

TK: I think you have
an irrational fear

of losing your hair, Cap.

(alarm ringing)

Who says it's irrational?

(phone rings)

It's Morelli's, so you know
they are gonna work us

around the clock
on this presentation.

Yep, but at least
it's Morelli's.

Did you get
those portfolios from Ivan?

DELIVERYMAN: I just need
a John Hancock here.

He's supposed to email them.

Or a Jane Hancock,
as it were.

LIZA:
You have got to stay on him.

Yeah.

-Yep?

-Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah.

DELIVERYMAN:
Just need a signature.

ISAAC: Sure, man.

I need those

-I'm on it.
-Thank you.

I say we start out strong.

Tell the investors
that this is a chance

to be a part of something
that could change the world,

literally save lives.

And make them a crap ton
of money while they're at it.

That's good.
Write that down.

ISAAC:
Mm-hmm.

LIZA: And after their, uh,
expected ROI,

I thought we could
move on to, uh...

DR. JACOBS:
I won't sugarcoat it.

What we do here
is controversial.

It's called adaptive therapy,
and rather than carpet-bomb

your cancer and your body,

we use immunotherapy
and limited chemo

to slow its growth.

So you don't even try
to cure it.

We contain it.

You learn to live
with the enemy.

Mm, something like that.

We do it right, you will die
an old man with cancer

rather than from cancer many,
many, many years from now.

(chuckles)
That's a little morbid,

but I like
the "many, many" part.

Um, question:
will this cause hair loss?

It's one of the upsides
of a targeted approach:

less collateral damage.

You will keep
your gorgeous locks, Captain.

Oh, thank God.

And I just found
this amazing woman down here,

Dr. Akopian.

She is a hairline-sculpting

Yeah, you need to stop
seeing her immediately.

Why would I do
something insane like that?

Dr. Akopian specializes
in finasteride,

and it would interfere
with our therapy.

I've been on this a decade.

What would happen if I suddenly
stopped taking it?

Well, it is possible
that your scalp

could go into
follicular shock,
