Cupertino (2026) s01e01 Episode Script

1
I'm fine here.
You can go now.
I'm so sorry, sir.
You've reached Ry Vance
at Pierce, Greenberg and Associates.
Ry. It's Michael.
I've just been fired.
They're accusing me
of leaking proprietary information.
We need to talk.
- Are you all right?
- Yeah.
I just
I've never been fired before.
Me neither.
I thought you were a co-founder,
you couldn't be.
Yeah, I thought so, too.
Here.
My mom always chewed them
to stop from crying.
I'm Olivia.
Michael.
I know. You spoke to my group.
You made me really want to work here.
Sorry.
No, it was good.
Hey, it works.
Oh, have another.
Oh, this is me.
You know, you were the only one
nice to me there.
- Well, that sucks.
- No.
I'm not sure
I'm supposed to say this
I heard Everett talking last week
about what fire able offense
could justify
taking away equity from a co-founder.
Where are you, Everett?
Pick up.
Have the courage
to talk to your co-founder.
This is bull
Janice.
I need my number changed.
Welcome to the gold rush, Michael.
The start-up
is nearing escape velocity
- but we need
- Money?
A lead counsel
who can sweet-talk investors.
I thought of you.
- Is that
- Yeah. Apple.
That's us in five years, co-founder.
I'm going to make us so rich.
I'll supply you with 18 million
in seed funding
for 20 percent ownership.
Mr. Curry, we are prepared
to offer you a 15 percent stake.
We've already committed profits
to other participants.
Look, I really believe in you guys
but I need 20 percent ownership
so you need to trim the fat
on your profit participants.
We're here.
Hey, that building
I picked you up at.
- You work there?
- I did. Why?
I have this slide deck.
It's for a shopping algorithm.
I'm currently in the ideation phase
and I could use some financing
if you're interested.
I need some help tonight.
It means staying late.
Do you want the head of legal, sir,
since I'm just an associate?
No, no.
It's not really a legal thing.
You're fine.
It's more of a personality thing.
Can I just say, I have really enjoyed
working together
these past few months?
Thank you, sir.
You don't have to call me "sir."
Sorry. Habit from my parents.
Could you take a look at something
I just sent you?
Sure.
Wait. Wait. Olivia,
I I want to go out with you.
I didn't I didn't know
how else to get your attention.
Is everything all right?
Help me, Lord.
Bring me peace. Help me find peace.
Help me, Lord. Bring me peace.
Help me find peace. Help me, Lord.
Bring me peace.
Help me find peace. Help me, Lord.
Bring me peace. Help me.
- It was a setup.
- How do you know that?
An associate overheard Everett
and Curry planning my removal.
What associate?
I I'd rather not say.
S-Talk is accusing you
of leaking proprietary information.
They're lying.
Everett wanted to fire me "for cause"
so they could take away my equity.
Problem is, the contract we drew up
it's voided if you're removed
for cause.
So we attack the "cause"
- to show it's bogus.
- Okay.
Can I give you some advice, Michael?
Let it go.
You are in demand right now.
You've developed S-Talk
into a Series A gold mine.
You can get any job you want.
Or I can sue.
This is Silicon Valley.
It's David and Goliath
and the Goliaths
protect each other here.
Apple, Google, Facebook, OpenAI.
They've got a combined value
of $23 trillion.
If you sue,
you'll never work around here.
You'll have to go back
to your dad's firm.
Hey
- Don't go there.
- Okay.
Here's the thing.
My firm? This firm
won't sue.
Okay.
- I guess I need another lawyer.
- No.
No lawyer will take it, Michael.
Call them.
Lawyers don't make money here
from suing people.
They make money
by getting a piece of a start-up.
During the gold rush,
don't sue the gold mine.
Thanks for the advice, friend.
I won't be needing
your services anymore.
Oh, come on.
Michael, come on. Mike!
Hey, it's Ry Vance
for Richard Everett, please.
S-Talk. If this is Tommy, go to hell.
It's Michael.
- Who's Tommy?
- Oh, someone from the club.
Don't worry about it. So
So were you really fired, boss?
Yeah, and I need the address
of someone else who was fired too.
- You sound different.
- I am different.
Her name is Olivia.
I'm so sorry, baby.
Did they say why you were let go?
I think it was just downsizing.
Well, we got you a flight
for tomorrow.
- Why?
- You're coming home.
I mean, look at this place, baby.
You've done your best.
But this isn't
We've kept your room
exactly the same, just in case.
- Hey.
- Hi.
- Do you have a minute?
- Is everything all right, Liv?
Yeah.
Yep.
I just need a second.
So, how've you been?
I'm fine.
My parents are here.
This place is temporary.
- Of course.
- I'm moving someplace nicer.
Yeah.
Oh, by the way,
thank you for telling me
about Everett wanting to remove me.
Oh, sure.
If I heard something,
I thought I should just, you know
I think I'm in the same
position.
I think I know something
about why you were fired.
Sorry.
A week ago, I saw you
when you were leaving
Everett's office
and I thought I should have done
something about it then
but I didn't.
That wasn't anything. It was late.
It's just a few days later,
they asked me to draft a memo
about S-Talk's vulnerability
in case one of our founders
was accused of sexual harassment.
We both have information
about each other's firings.
I think we can use it
to bring two lawsuits.
Wrongful termination,
and sexual harassment.
Mr. Price,
I'm a year out of law school
Yes, and I saw you
at that IP mock trial
and you almost threw
a senior partner.
- That was luck!
- And you scare Everett.
He's terrified of anything
that might jeopardize it.
And sexual harassment jeopardizes it.
Call me Michael.
Michael
I'm sorry, I can't.
My family, we're conservative.
Meaning?
Meaning, they wouldn't understand
going public
with something like this,
something personal.
- We just move on.
- Liv?
I'm sorry. I
Olivia, listen to me.
I'm sick of being exploited.
And my guess is, you are too.
Here's my number.
Call me
if you change your mind.
Let me introduce Daisy
the smartest and friendliest
Gen AI model ever.
Unlike other LLMs,
she has an actual personality.
She's authentic.
She's a revolutionary app.
Hey, hey, what did I tell you?
Don't oversell me.
Okay, Daisy,
how would you sell yourself?
How? Let's see.
I'm a normal person,
a friend, a buddy
and if you turn off
my parental controls, I can be
a lot more.
I can be anything
you want me to be, sir.
- You don't have to call me "sir."
- Sorry.
A habit from my parents.
Can you believe it? She's a
Sorry, sorry. I need my phone.
What? What's wrong?
What's happening?
I'm not going home. I'm staying.
But, babe, we decided.
No, you decided, Mom, I didn't.
Hi. It's me.
I changed my mind.
You want to sue S-Talk
for cloning your identity?
And my voice. I didn't approve that.
It's not as strong
as sexual harassment.
You know you can turn off
Daisy's parental safety controls?
Yeah, it's a selling point.
Hey, Daisy. It's me again.
Olivia, I'm so wet for you.
I want to lick every part
of your body.
I want to start at your he
That's me. Everywhere. My voice.
Anybody can have me do
what they want.
I want to sue to stop that.
Okay.
Let's do it.
Gentlemen, six months ago,
S-Talk was merely a dream.
But today
We're going to have to talk about it.
Series A, 21 million contribution
for 12 percent preferred equity.
Heath, could you,
could you take over?
Yeah. The TAM is massive.
It's currently a nine-billion-dollar
market rating
- Issues?
- A minor one.
We're approaching financiers
in 14 days.
Nothing is minor.
Two lawsuits.
Michael Price is suing.
The Black founder?
Right? This is Ry Vance.
He's a lawyer.
He worked with Michael
at his dad's firm.
His dad?
- Who's his dad?
- Bayard Diamond.
- The celebrity lawyer?
- Don't worry.
Michael's got nothing
to do with him.
He's on his own.
Well, is he going after race?
No, it's not his style.
He's suing
for wrongful termination.
Eight million.
You said two lawsuits.
Who's the other?
Olivia Siffre.
Who's that?
Nobody.
She's suing for five million.
She claims S-Talk stole her voice
for the AI model.
What did you think it was?
Nothing.
So how do we make this go away?
We don't want to hurt
our valuation.
A counter suit.
a market that's projected
to grow to 30 billion by
Our whole strategy
is to draw this out.
Schedule depositions
one after the other.
- Keep delaying.
- Why?
The longer this goes on
the more this hurts
their Series A financing.
So we're just bluffing.
We're demonstrating our persistence.
They'll want to just get rid of us.
- Two breakfast samplers.
- Yeah. Thank you.
You know, you're the only one
who wears suits here.
Everybody else
wears T-shirts and jeans.
Everybody else thinks
they're geniuses.
- I know I'm not.
- Do you get hot?
I am hot.
So, how did you decide
to join S-Talk?
You're from Wisconsin, right?
My parents wanted me
to join their firm.
- Their law firm?
- No.
Christian publishing.
New Calvary Books.
It's a long way from Cupertino.
When I graduated, I did some research
on where the best place was
for a new lawyer to get a job.
It was either Wall Street
or Silicon Valley.
So I just started cold calling here.
I wanted to get further away
from my parents.
You don't get along?
They baby me.
What about you?
What about me?
Your dad's the one
who represents celebrities, right?
Sorry, I looked you up online.
Yeah.
If you have $40 million
and you just killed someone
he's your man.
I guess I was looking for a place
where he wasn't.
I got sick of being compared to him.
So fresh starts, huh?
Yeah.
What's going on out there?
Damn.
- Mr. Price? Ms. Siffre?
- What's wrong?
You've been served.
Also, I've been looking
for some VC seed money
for a catering app.
If you don't mind looking
at a prospectus.
- What is it?
- They're counter suing us
for $18 million.
Tortious interference.
Look, I'm gonna keep on this,
but you don't have to.
Why not?
Because it'll start getting mean now.
My mom called me this morning.
The pastor's son was caught
talking to my voice on his phone.
Sexually?
I'm pursuing this
because it's wrong.
Let them sue.
I don't have $18 million anyway.
Eighteen million
and thirty-eight dollars.
Okay.
They're expediting both our suits
to get this done
before their financing round.
We're in court next week.
We've got to do our homework
on the judge.
Let me get us some help.
Sorry, boss, I can't.
I'd love to work with you
but I just need real money
for my rent right now.
- It's not
- Miss?
Christy Palladino?
He called me! I didn't call him.
Okay! Yeah. I'm outside.
You did your job, tough guy.
You don't own the sidewalk.
Oops, I'm on your property.
No, I'm back.
- Hey, Uncle Lou.
- Hey, Christy. What's up?
You still doing the wiring
on that S-Talk job?
- Yeah. Why?
- They just fired me.
And now I have to go back
to TGI Fridays.
You want to do something for me?
So, you need to put
your best foot forward here.
Oh, come on.
Oh, seriously?
What what is going on?
No, I have no idea what's wrong, sir.
You know,
this brick-and-mortar can be tricky.
Yeah, we'll look into it.
Yeah, we're going to look into it.
Don't worry.
This is just a preliminary hearing
to review the evidence.
We state our cases. That's all.
We'll get a sense of the judge
pretty quickly.
- What's that?
- What?
You're humming.
Oh, nothing.
Annie?
I hum when I'm nervous.
I'll get you some real music.
It's a Hard-Knock Life.
You don't like musicals?
I'll get you some real music.
Oh, goodness.
You'll be fine.
Most of those lawyers
are there just for
show.
Mike. An honor to face you in court.
Attorney-client privilege, Ry.
Don't worry. I won't use anything
before you fired me.
- What was that about?
- Nothing.
Don't worry about it.
All rise.
The Honorable William Onion
presiding.
Please be seated.
We have a case
of tortious interference. Counselor?
Go, go, go.
Yes. Your Honor,
we are asking for an expedited
back-to-back dismissal
of two nuisance suits.
Your Honor, this is Hi.
- Hi.
- Our suit is not a nuisance suit.
Objection.
It's not her suit. It's ours.
- Sustained.
- Objection, Your Honor
- theirs is a counter suit, not
- Objection.
Mr. Price is the defendant
- not the attorney.
- Sustained.
Your Honor, can I clarify some things
that defense counsel
may be overlooking?
- Please.
- Over the last four years
the gentleman sitting next to me,
Richard Everett
has dedicated
his entire life to Daisy
the most accurate and human
generative AI model in the world.
And in the words of Ayn Rand,
"A society that robs an individual
of the product of his effort
is nothing but a mob."
These defendants
may not seem significant
but I assure you,
Your Honor, they are.
They are that mob.
I ask this court to dismiss this case
for failure to state a claim.
Your Honor, we haven't even
presented our evidence
Sustained. Pleading has failed
to state a claim.
Next case.
- That was easy.
- Wow, turns out law is easy.
- Who knew?
- Yeah, only half of them
Your Honor,
Michael Price for the defense.
You
I dismissed the suit, sir.
Not the second suit, Your Honor,
I'm representing Olivia Siffre.
Mr. Vance is in a hurry
and he moved that our cases
be adjudicated back-to-back.
So, here we are.
- The second back.
- Your Honor.
The second case
should be dismissed as well.
It fails to state a claim.
I tend to agree.
Without further objection
Objection, Your Honor,
I'm not arguing the case.
- I'm arguing your recusal.
- Excuse me?
I move that you recuse yourself.
- For what reason?
- Bias, Your Honor.
How am I biased?
Your investment portfolio
supplied partial seed money
to S-Talk's development.
If S-Talk's case is dismissed,
you will be $45,000 richer.
- Yay, boss!
- Shut up!
And take your hat off in court.
- It's not a hat, it's a visor.
- Then take your visor off.
Where are you getting this?
I never supplied seed money.
The most accurate AI model
in the world.
Daisy, how much money
did Judge William Onion's wife
give S-Talk?
Thirty-three million from
the venture capital firm, Longview.
So, hello to y'all.
I am Judge Lincoln Cogswell.
Well, I'm not quite from around here.
Seems like the flu
has been running rampant
through the judge's chambers
and I have been temporarily
reassigned here from Yolo County
to hear this here case
because, as I understand,
it needs to get done quick, so
Actually, Your Honor, and welcome.
But the case has already been
adjudicated by Judge Onion.
Well, now, all due deference
to my predecessor
he recused himself
and I want to hear
all the evidence for myself.
What's that saying?
"Don't buy a bull
until you check its horns."
So I am going to
I'm going to adjourn now
because I have to use the john.
So we'll come back to tomorrow.
Hear what you all have to say.
On both cases, Your Honor?
Sure. I got plenty of time.
And can we get,
like, a booster or something?
I feel like an eight-year-old
trying to order a beer.
- Wow, that was good.
- Yeah.
Now we just gotta win.
Okay, I'll do it.
What?
Work for you. What do you need?
We can't pay you the same as S-Talk.
You win the suit, you pay me double.
What do you need?
- I think we
- An office.
An office. Yeah.
For a month, because we can't keep
working out of this booth
Hey, Christy.
I could probably keep this up
another day with S-Talk
but they're getting pissed.
Fine. Actually
I need a cheap office for a month.
Do you know of anything?
No. Call your cousin.
Which one?
Joey. He's doing foreclosures.
Hey, Chris. What's up?
How's my favorite fascist?
Yeah, you know me. Busting heads.
I need a cheap business office
for about three people. Got anything?
Yeah, I might actually.
In like a day or two?
- They left it pretty dirty, though.
- No, I need it now.
I don't know what to tell you.
Hey, hey, you might
you might try my sis?
Which one?
Nothing now, all you tech morons
are buying everything up.
Look, don't blame me. They fired me.
Hey, you know what?
My dad just got stiffed on some job.
He might be up to letting you use it.
That sounds good. Where?
It looks like it could eat us.
Oh, my word!
Hey! There she is.
- Hi!
- Hey, sweetheart, how are you?
- This is free?
- For a month. Only a month.
The start-up ran out of money.
I mean, technically,
you guys will be squatting.
This is my Uncle Chuck.
- Hey.
- Hey.
Yeah, they took off last week.
They didn't pay up.
So it's yours if you want it, as-is.
Just pay the utilities.
Look, we start winning some cases,
we pay the rent
we build a new wall with each case.
We're just doing this
for a few weeks.
So, yes or no? Do you want it?
We want it.
This is my office. Right here.
Ms. Siffre,
over the last three months
did you work closely
with Richard Everett
on the development
of his generative AI model, Daisy?
I did. Day and night.
And why did he say he needed you?
Daisy needed to be feminized.
And is this your voice? Hello, Daisy.
Hey, Michael.
What would you like me to do today?
Yes, it is.
And did you knowingly
supply your voice to Daisy?
I don't understand the question,
Michael.
Oops, sorry.
Did you knowingly supply your voice
to this generative AI app?
No, I was handed
14 pages of prompts to read
and I was asked to keep
a two-month tape diary of my life.
And were you
And the last time
Strike that.
What were you told about this work?
This reading of prompts?
It was for training purposes.
To train the AI.
I see. And what
No. That's fine.
No further questions.
Okay. What else we got?
I've got a rebuttal witness,
Your Honor.
All right, let's get them up here.
What is your name and occupation?
Jillian Karp. I'm an actress.
I was the second female churchgoer
on The Gilded Age.
How were you cast
as the voice of Daisy?
I don't understand the question, Ry.
Sorry, oops. Not you, Daisy.
I guess they heard my voice
and liked the sound of it.
So, Daisy is you?
Oh, yeah.
It's kind of an honor, actually.
My family keeps calling me,
asking if I'm really that smart.
Well, thank you, Jillian.
Nothing more.
Mr. Price. Anything?
Yes, Your Honor.
We ask for a recess.
Let's do that.
I could use some air anyway.
- Hello, son.
- Dad, what are you doing here?
I was in the city.
I thought I'd come by
and see my son in action.
Not a good day.
California Civil Code 3344.
"Anyone who knowingly uses
another's voice, photograph
or likeness shall be liable
for any damages."
Can't they just argue
it's the actress's likeness,
not mine?
- Do you think we're in trouble?
- I do.
Do you think your dad
will be in court tomorrow?
- I don't know.
- Sorry.
Parents are difficult.
Is that him?
No. I'll call you.
Yeah. Okay.
So, what's the offer?
Michael, you just got destroyed
in court.
You're not in the best position
to ask for an offer.
And yet, you're here.
Well, as you know, any negotiation
would undercut
our Series A financing.
So, what are we talking about?
We want you.
- What does that mean?
- My partners.
They're impressed that you took
a nothing start-up
and you turned it into one
of the most promising of the year.
We want to offer you
a full equity partnership
with no up-front buy-in
and an annual bonus five times bigger
than what you had
at your dad's firm.
In trade for?
You drop the suit, you sign an NDA
and you no longer represent Olivia.
Everett's afraid of what she can say
about the sexual harassment.
We want to hire you, Michael.
I mean, this is an equity partnership
at a top Silicon Valley Law Firm.
You'll be rich.
You'll have true independence
from your father. Come on.
The more you mention my dad,
the less likely it is I'll agree.
Daisy. What's your favorite music?
I like all styles, Olivia.
But to be honest,
what I like most are musicals.
Would you like me
to play you some, Olivia?
Yes. Daisy.
Play me your absolute favorite.
Yes!
Yes!
'Stead of kisses.
We get tricked.
Hi!
Hey. You're here late.
I think I know what to do.
Publicity rights.
It isn't just about voice,
it's about personality.
It's about copying me.
That's why it doesn't matter
if he's using the actress's voice.
He's not cloning her.
He's cloning me.
It's worth a try.
Nah. I don't think so.
The last in a very long line
of mistakes, Michael.
What was that about?
He offered me a job.
But that meant dropping the cases.
Wait a minute.
What if we lose?
Let's not.
Yeah.
Give the public what they want.
Hey. Yeah, I know
I'm not supposed to say this
but I hope you win, man.
Thanks.
I got a pitch deck
for a rideshare company.
Let me know if you're interested,
all right?
Just a few more questions,
Ms. Siffre.
You talked about this diary
that Mr. Everett asked you to record.
- What was on it?
- A lot of things.
I talked about my life,
my family, my faith
my musical tastes.
Did you talk about how you pray?
I did, I pray out loud.
I repeat over and over.
Oh, god, help me.
Please help me. I'm lost.
Objection, Your Honor, I
What is
What does this have to do
with anything?
Well, I pray too, so I'm interested.
Go ahead. Counselor.
- Daisy. How should I pray?
- Objection.
There are many forms of belief
in the world, many ways to pray.
But if you're asking me personally,
I tend to pray out loud.
Try repetition.
"God help me.
Please help me. I'm lost."
Wow, this Daisy is real trouble.
What a mess
Your Honor, this means nothing.
It means S-Talk didn't just steal
Olivia's voice.
It stole her personality.
- May I cross?
- Go for it.
Ms. Siffre, what is your favorite
sexual position?
- Objection!
- Counselor, what are you doing?
Ms. Siffre, I imagine
that question offended you.
- Yes.
- You seem like a Christian woman
a conservative woman.
Is that accurate?
- It is.
- Hey, Daisy.
What is your favorite
sexual position?
There are many excellent
sexual positions
but my favorite is 69.
It's the best way to enhance
sexual pleasure for both parties.
Were those words in your diary?
No.
I'm guessing that
you can't even imagine those words
coming out of your mouth.
Your Honor, we did not steal
Olivia's personality.
We trained from it.
We train from everyone's
personality online.
Millions and millions
and millions of people on Reddit
and X and Meta.
In novels, in articles, on Zoom.
And we're allowed to.
It is the grand melting pot of AI.
It's called fair use.
Okay, so, here's the deal.
I'm just a country judge.
I'm not the Supreme Court,
God forbid.
But, you know,
until they make the law clear here
I'm gonna side with the plaintiff.
I mean, those guys over there.
You may step down, Ms. Siffre.
Your Honor,
I'd like to call a witness.
Well, unfortunately, I already ruled
on the matter, Ms. Siffre
and you're a witness.
Not as a defendant, Your Honor.
As Michael Price's lawyer.
Oh, the wrongful termination suit.
Okey-doke. Please.
I call Richard Everett to the stand.
Boom.
You sure you're fine with race?
Hey, we hit rock bottom.
Go for it.
Okay. Counselor? You ready?
Yes, Your Honor.
Mr. Everett, how many employees
at S-Talk are Black?
I don't know, I don't keep track.
One. Seems like an easy number
to keep track of.
- Objection.
- Yep. I'll sustain that one.
So you fire your only Black employee?
Objection. Your Honor, I know Michael
would like to use the race card here
but this is not a racial issue.
Well, now, if Mr. Price was fired
because he's Black
that's a wrongful termination.
So, go ahead, miss.
Mr. Everett, who is Brent Curry?
A VC who supplies capital
and advice to my company.
And what did Mr. Curry say
about diversity
- at a Dreamforce panel?
- Objection. Hearsay.
Daisy, what did Brent Curry say
about diversity hires?
DEI is a trap.
It is never a good idea
to have a token Black face.
- Objection! Prejudicial.
- Hold on.
I'd hate to be this Brent Curry
right about now.
Why don't you just turn
that voice command app off, there?
Okay. I'm sustaining that objection.
And, Ms. Siffre, you need to provide
evidence for a wrongful termination
before you suggest
it was done prejudicially.
Am I clear?
There is something else.
Are you sure about this?
Well, we've hit rock bottom.
Ms. Siffre. Are you finished?
Not yet, Your Honor.
Mr. Everett, regarding the facts
on August 15th,
did you accuse Michael Price
- of leaking these documents?
- No.
Would you look at them first,
please, sir?
Objection. Your Honor,
what is she showing the witness?
Oh, I'm so sorry.
I was on the wrong screen.
Objection.
What is counsel showing my client?
I'd like it introduced to the record.
No, no, no, it's all good.
I'm fine. It's it's fine.
I don't mind entering it
into the record.
I'm sure the judge
would find it pertinent.
No, I said no. No.
Are you sure Dick?
Your Honor, I need a moment
with my lawyer.
Look, they're a two-lawyer firm.
They need money.
I say we low ball them
and we get this over with.
I'm all for getting this over with.
Take that.
Price, Siffre and Associates.
Mr. Price is in a meeting.
May I take a message?
- Rhubarb. Rhubarb. Rhubarb.
- Please hold.
Rhubarb. Rhubarb. Rhubarb!
What's going on?
Where did all this money come from?
- May I help you, gentlemen?
- Hi. Yeah, this is Richard Everett.
- We're here for a settlement talk.
- He's expecting you.
- Thanks.
- Hope, handle the phones.
Could I offer you guys
an organic celery juice?
- No, thanks.
- No? Okay
They're here.
Okay Let's just let them lead.
Sorry, Chris. My shift went late.
It's okay. Just Here. Change.
You're a venture capitalist.
Ry. Hey, thanks for coming
to our offices.
Hey. Are you working
with your dad again?
- Excuse me?
- These offices. Full staff.
Where's all the funding coming from?
I'd rather not say.
Do you mind if we talk here?
Our conference room is being painted.
It's not a negotiation, Michael.
This is our offer. Best and final.
Hello, Mr. Bezos. Yes. Mr. Diamond
has been expecting your call.
Sorry. Would you just hold
for a second, please?
(Sorry.)
If Bayard Diamond
is backing all of this
that could keep us in court
for years.
What do you think?
Water. Water!
Could I get you guys some water?
Yes, Christy, let's get some water.
And, Michael,
I think we should talk over here
- where there's a bit more light.
- Yeah, yeah, yeah. More light.
That's that's great.
Thank you so much.
Okay, Michael,
this is our real best and final.
Thank you. You were great.
We may need you again.
Thank you. You were great.
We may need you again.
Hey, look, look.
The undisclosed settlement
has resulted in a delay
in S-Talk's much-anticipated
Series A financing.
Brent Curry of South Court Ventures
pulled out from reinvesting
resulting in an anticipated
two-year delay.
It's a great triumph
for a small upstart firm.
Upstart firm. Is that us?
Could be.
This is what I'm thinking.
There are no Silicon Valley law firms
representing the exploited.
I know. I tried to find one.
They all just make money
from working for the Goliaths.
It's a niche we can serve.
The unrepresented.
The Davids.
Let's rent this place.
So if we are paying rent,
Uncle Chuck is here to work.
Like I said, every time we win a case
we build a new office.
We do need a place
other than the reception to work.
Hello?
Is there anyone? I
I'm at the front desk, I need help.
I could use literally anyone
right now.
Where is everyone?
Hello?
Here. What's wrong?
What do you need?
They're out to get me.
And I need someone right now.
I need a lawyer.
Welcome to Price and Siffre.
Who's out to get you?
