The Audacity

Sorry for what?

You're, like, having a breakdown.

You stole my tungsten cube.

Hey, Duncan, infinite growth isn't for everyone.

There is no other tech like Xander.

AGI is the Holy Grail, and I'm Sir fucking Galahad.

My whole career rides on this product.

And in two days, I'm the face of it.

The nutritionist was giving you steroids.

- Give me the tincture. - Not happening.

Why does your pillow smell like Anushka?

You betrayed me! - I want you to leave.

And it's my house!

You know, Carl's over the moon

that you're coming out to join us today.

Uh-huh. Yeah. Yeah.

I think you'll get a kick out of it.

Well met, sir. Well met.

Ah, I bet you weren't expecting this.

I was not.

Where's your piece?

Maguire, get him a SMLE.

There you go.

Pretty swell, right?

We're gonna really raise some Cain this time.

I have a new pyro guy.

He's got his whole kit and caboodle,

so it's gonna be really good.

Uh-huh. Maybe, uh...

Maybe I should watch over there

by the La Place du Village.

No, no, no, we've got it all mapped out.

We're going to take a crack at Meuse-Argonne.

47 days of hellfire and hardtack.

Really leveled up this time,

knowing that a bona fide vet would be with us today.

Carl...

What do you want me to do?

Down, down, down!

We gotta go! Come on!

- Go on! - Shoot, shoot, shoot!

Oh, nice. Shell shock. That's good.

That's good.

But you gotta get over the wall!

Over the top now! Go, boy!

Now, now, now, now, now!

Ah!

Reload!

Jesus!

What the hell?

Jesus!

Bruh, you're supposed to lie down.

Huh?

Yeah. You're dead.

Okay, what are we drinking?

I like to imagine that we find a bottle of Cognac

in a blown up cafe, and we can't believe our luck

because the bottle's impossibly intact.

Hmm. People say that money can't buy you perspective.

I just bought the Western Front in 4D,

and it was far from quiet.

If that isn't what war felt like,

then I don't want to know.

To the ones who gave it all.

May we never forget.

And never let them down.

I want to show you something.

What do we have behind here?

The Battle of Austerlitz.

Agincourt.

Those gas masks are from the Somme.

Antietam.

Mm.

What about this one? Does this look familiar?

This is Medina Ridge, my friend.

Your finest hour.

And if you look over here closely

at this band of brothers,

indeed you will see tank platoon leader,

second Lieutenant Tom Ruffage

on his M1 Abrams.

I had my miniature guy make sure

that he tried to capture the steely resolve

that only a man born to kill like you has.

Seriously, what is wrong with you?

What?

You go play dress up,

and then you come and admire your toy soldiers?

You got no fucking idea at all what war is.

I mean, this is obscene, Carl.

It's fucking obscene.

Yeah, I wasn't a soldier.

Yes, but I know what valor looks like, sir.

And it comes in many different shapes.

And in my business dealings, sometimes in deal making,

the knives come out and it's...

Oh, stop talking!

God, you're insulting people

you don't even know exist!

Oh, the pride of the American bureaucrat.

And pride goeth before the fall.

And while you were pushing for regulations

for the "Mother May I?" State,

I was building empires.

So tell me who is wasting their time again?

You are!

You!

Sorry.

Carl...

Maybe your heart is in the right place, but...

I'm sorry.

No, I never told him.

I don't want to characterize his feelings towards me,

but perhaps he felt I deceived him.

Anyway, I can assure you

I will not be seeing him anymore.

He's going to try to undermine me.

He's probably more determined now than ever.

Tonight is the Watch Code forum.

It's a make or break night for me, Joanne,

and he's going to be there, of course.

And Xander, is it?

He's not misbehaving anymore.

No. It's good. Yeah, really, really good.

I'm confident Xander's going to leave people absolutely floored.

I think we're about to make a few spreadsheets very, very happy.

Uh-huh. Including mine.

Oh, well, that's... that's wonderful.

I am so, so sorry about this.

But, you know, it's... it's not uncommon

for people to know the same sets of people to,

you know, wind up at the same therapist store.

Right, I know. Same therapist, same parties,

same conferences. Mm-hmm. Yeah.

Oh, are you going to be at the Los Altos Gala?

It's just downstairs from Watch Code.

I will be there.

It's a small town, after all.

Yes, well, perhaps I'll see you there.

Right, well, I'll be on the lookout, then.

So, did you see it?

Did you see the trophy case?

No. I'm not playing that game anymore.

Come on, Tess, you... you gotta see this one.

It's legendary.

What was it?

Orson, what are you, uh...

Shouldn't you be in school?

I couldn't... I don't...

I don't I don't feel good, like, at all.

And I really need the tincture, Gary.

I know you said... Shh, shh. Your mother.

I know it's poison.

Listen... Orson, listen, listen to me.

You're having some very mild withdrawal symptoms.

I'll call the school.

Tell them you're not feeling well.

I'm not giving you any more of that junk.

The stuff that you're giving me isn't doing anything.

My hands are shaking and my mouth is so dry.

And I have to go on stage and perform a solo

in front of hundreds of people,

and I'm gonna humiliate myself.

No, you're not. I'm gonna shit myself.

You won't. You're a little nervous.

Yes, I will. No, I literally

had to run into a gas station on the way home.

It was awful. It's awful.

Besides, what difference could one dose make?

Don't be such a cuck. It'll be between you and me.

I won't tell mom.

Dear?

I'm just running to the dry cleaners.

I'll grab your suit for the gala too.

Okay. Come here, come here.

Sit down for one moment.

Orson...

you have referred to me as a cuck numerous times.

Oh, sorry.

No, no, I mean, do you know what the word means?

Yeah, it means that your wife's doing stuff,

like, behind your back.

Mm. Mm-hmm.

And you...

And you see me as a cuck?

Okay. Um...

And with whom would she be doing bad things?

Duncan Park.

Okay. Now, come on please. Just, could you...

How do you know?

Well, how do you know?

Look, I need to know how you know.

And I need what I need.

So why don't we just make a deal, then?

Okay. All right. You... You tell me,

I will give you one dose.

Two doses, 'cause I need another one

tonight before the gala.

One dose.

And if you tell me the truth and there's no games
