StartUp (2016–…): Season 1, Episode 5 - Buyout - full transcript

As Rask slides into a pit of violence and corruption, he fights to regain control. Nick and Izzy absorb a devastating blow to GenCoin. Ronald takes a risk with the company pitch.

GenCoin. I'm talking
about a new currency.

You know how many
broke-ass niggas come knocking

on my damn door with their hands out?

Just imagine owning a fraction

of every dollar spent
in the United States.

1.5 mil. What about Ronnie?

- Do we still need him?
- We have the seed money,

- and he is dangerous.
- All right, one job.

You get your shit back.
I don't chase you anymore.

How's that?

I feel like this warrants it.



Who this?

- I'm leaving.
- No, you're not.

Wait, wait, wait.
Wait, wait. No. Come on.

Come on. Don't do that. Don't do that.

My head.

Yeah, I know. You took a fall.

Let's get you some ice,
okay? You fell. Hold on.

I need to go to the doctor.

I know. Maddie? Maddie?

Maddie! Maddie, I'm sorry. I'm sorry.

You just got to lie still. Lie still.

I'm gonna get you some
ice for that head.

I'll be right back. I'll
be right back. All right?

I'll be back. I'll be back, Maddie.



I'll be right back, okay?

Whoa, Nelly! Whoa, Nelly.
Come on. Come on, come on.

Let's... let's get you back in there.

- I gotta go to the hospital.
- Maddie. Maddie!

A doctor's coming. Okay? I'm need...

Maddie? Maddie. Maddie.
Maddie, Maddie, Maddie.

Just lie down.

Okay.

Here's the ice. Come

Maddie? Maddie! Stop struggling, huh?

Stop struggling,
okay? Okay? You can't...

- I wanna go. Let me...
- Jesus Christ.

Maddie.

What are you doing? What are you doing?

- No, no, no, Maddie.
- What are you doing? No!

- Maddie, Maddie, Maddie.
- No! No!

- Maddie?
- No! Phil, what are you doing?

- No! No!
- All right, stop. Stop.

Don't do that again. Okay?
Don't fucking do that again.

Don't fucking do that again.

Come here. Maddie? If you
don't give me your arm,

you're gonna break your
fucking head open.

Come here. Come on, come on.

Honey? Maddie? Maddie, look at me.

All right, look at me.
I'm not touching you.

Maddie? The more you struggle...

the more you struggle,
you're gonna hurt yourself.

Okay? I do not want
you to hurt yourself!

I don't want it, Maddie.
Please, just give me your arm.

Just give me your arm. I
don't want you to get hurt.

Please. Please, let me
go. I won't say anything.

- You don't have to do this.
- Honey.

Sit down. Honey? Sit down.

- Honey? Sit down.
- Phil. Phil!

I am in hell! Stop!

Phil. Phil. Phil, don't go.

Phil! Phil. Phil.

Phil! Phil!

Phil!

No! No! Ali!

Why? Why?

Why?

No!

Why? No!

Why? Why?

You got that?

What we gonna do?

- Can I just have a quick look?
- No, no, no. No, no, no.

- I just want... I just want to...
- You...

you know what you're gonna
say. Gimme this. Stop!

So then...

- You're gonna... no.
- You're gonna give it to him.

- You're gonna give it to him.
- Okay.

You're gonna say what we
decided, and that's that.

- I'll be there if you need me.
- So... right.

- Okay?
- I'll do the talking,

and if... what I'll... what
I'll do is, if I need you,

I'll just look to you.
I'll do a silent...

Okay. You don't need to
look at me. I'll know.

- I'll know if you need me.
- Okay.

But probably not. Probably
not gonna need you.

- Can you stop?
- What?

- You're making me nervous.
- Why?

'Cause you don't stop. Relax.

He's not gonna do anything here.

Yeah, not here. But later...

Not later. It's business.
He's gonna understand.

I should... you know, I feel like, um...

- Let me pee first.
- Hurry up.

So, uh...

we initially brought you in...

as a partner. Um...

which was really good. It was great.

Um, and then we all
agreed that we would go out

and we would find more investors.

And so that's what we
did. We all, uh... we-we...

We need to move on without you, dude.

This is our, um...

This is our offer. Will
you just hand that to him?

This is offer. It's, um... it's...

officially offer you two
percent in perpetuity...

a passive two percent, mind you...

as well as the repayment
of your initial 300.

You literally don't have to do anything.

I mean, you'll be making
money sitting on your ass.

It's a sweet deal, if you ask me.

It's very fair.

Nope.

- So, no?
- I reject your offer.

- Okay.
- Yeah. No.

That's, uh... that's not an option.

- Why not?
- 'Cause we voted. Two to one.

Okay. Okay.

- You voted. Two to one.
- Mm-hm. Mm-hm.

That's... that's right.

Or... or, may I just add, forget it.

Because the other thing
is I can see a version

where three partners is
pretty great, actually.

So I think let's forget it.
Let's just order breakfast.

- It's fine.
- No. No, that's not up

- for discussion.
- Why not?

- It's up for discussion.
- Ronnie, I'm sorry,

- but we made a decision.
- Why?

- Why what?
- Did I stutter?

No. No, you didn't stutter.

Why'd you make the decision?

- Well...
- Because we landed

Benedict Blush for 1.5. Nick did it.

Basically, we're legit now.

Big Nick.

Your nuts finally dropped. My nigga.

This is good, this is good.
We back in business now.

- Shit's lookin' up.
- There is no we.

And why not, Isabelle? Please.

Please explain that shit to me.

'Cause my dumb Haitian ass
probably just misunderstanding

what you college-educated
white folks is talking about,

- is that right?
- No, it's not like that.

- Then what's it like then?
- It has nothing to do

with where you're from. It
doesn't have anything to do

with where we're from either.

- You scare people.
- The thing... no.

Let's be, you know,
constructive. It's not...

You do, but the point
is you're in a gang.

And that's a very
dangerous element for us.

I'm here right now,
because I was doin' business

with your bitch-ass daddy, South Beach.

I'm sittin' right here,
right now, because of that.

Ain't that some shit?

You wanna now what the only difference

between a rich thug and a poor thug is?

You're here 'cause your
daddy brought into this.

That's what I'm trying to correct.

Now you wanna start
with this shit right here?

You don't think a Haitian know
how to pull down 1.5 million?

That's what's up? All right.

Grab on to your dicks.

Just one second. I'll
show you what's up.

Think he's coming back?
Let's get the check.

- Can we have the check?
- Can we have the check, please?

Phil, look at me.

Please.

Please let me go.

Look at me. Look at me!

Please.

Phil, look at me.

Please look at me.

Ah.

It's not too late. It's not too late.

Please. Please let me go.

Please.

Phil.

- Mr. Rask.
- Is it working?

Not 2.2 here. Only 1.8.

Whoa. What do you mean?

Only 1.8, but my fee
still ten percent of 2.2.

That's not our deal, man.
No, wait. Wait.

Sit down, please.

Deal.

You kill the girl yet?

What?

You kill the girl yet?

You ever ask me that again,

I'm gonna put a bullet
through your head.

I don't want you asking me that again.

- She saw me.
- Yeah.

- She see this, she see you.
- Yeah. I know.

I know, you're a genius.

You let me deal with that. All right?

You deal with getting
me my fucking money.

- Ten percent of 2.2.
- I know!

I get the fucking deal! I understand!

Sure.

I think that went well.

Okay.

Hard life.

Hey, watch the road.

Come on, the road. Please.

I hope it's worth killing us.

Someone's hacking my shit!

They're taking all our money.

- Our money?
- Yes, our money!

- Right now?
- Yes, right now!

Stop it! Here, I'll steer! Just...

- I need to go home.
- Okay.

Get out of the fast lane!

- Shit.
- Hey, what's...

- No, no, no, no, no.
- No, no! Is that us?

Someone slaved my whole system.

You said this couldn't happen!

- Who's doing this?!
- I don't know, Nick!

- But I need to cut them off!
- Jesus!

- Can we just unplug it? Can we start...
- No, no!

That'll lock me out completely.

Oh, my God!

How'd they change my encryption key?

- How'd they change my key?
- What does that mean?

- What do we do?
- Nick, I need you

- to shut up for one minute...
- All right.

- ...so I can stop the bleeding.
- I'm sorry.

Oh, my God, look at it.
Look at it. Look at it.

Oh, my God! Look at it!

- It's bots.
- What? What are bots?

It's bots. They're using bots.
That's how they got in.

Slaving other computers and using them

- to attack this one.
- Like these computers?

- Are they using these?
- No! It has to be

from a different router.

It literally could be
anywhere in the world, but...

Make it stop. Look, look!

Stop! Stop, Nick, I'm trying!

- Jesus Christ.
- They changed my encryption key.

That means they have to do it locally.

- That's the only way.
- Okay.

Means they're on my wi-fi.

Can we unplug the wi-fi?

No, that'll lock me out for
good, I just told you that!

- Go to the neighbors.
- Okay.

Go to the neighbors... three houses

- in every direction.
- What do I do?

Tell them to turn their powers off.

- Turn the computers off. Turn everything.
- What?

- Yes!
- They're not gonna listen to me.

Make it up, Nick, I don't know!

- What do I say?
- Make it up!

- What do I say?
- Something! Jesus!

- I don't know! Go!
- Do that!

- Where Lance at?
- Excuse me. Sir?

Sorry to scare you. Is this your house?

You... is there any way we could...

There's a medical emergency
happening down the street.

Suck my dick and choke on it!

Nick, come on. Move quicker.

Hi. Sir, uh, I have a huge emergency.

I'm sorry... sorry to bother you.

Can I give you ten dollars
and I can unplug your computer

and your router for no
more than ten minutes?

No, no, no, no, no. No, no. No.

No! God!

Hi. Sorry, I don't mean to scare you.

Habla ingles?

Um, do you have computador?
It's, um, emergency.

Emergency. It's...
