ep.3 High Plains Hardware
时长:00:42:44 / 首播:2014-06-15
Because of the IBM investigation, Gordon must fire employees that Cardiff can no longer afford, causing him stress at both work and home. Joe tells the remaining engineers the company will have a portable computer, weighing less than 15 pounds with two floppy disk drives and an integrated screen and keyboard, by the end of the year. Joe has lunch with Nathan Cardiff to discuss Bosworth, who soon arrives to be announced as the person to handle all the company's financials. Cardiff also reveals an arranged meeting with LouLu Lutherford (Jean Smart), an heiress and potential investor. However, LouLu offers to buy 80% of the PC project for a paltry $10 million. Joe's frustration with the figure forces Bosworth to accept it, but Joe later seduces LouLu's husband into kissing him and reveals it to her. She pulls out of the deal. At home, Gordon asks his wife Donna about motherboard ideas. She folds a sketch, suggesting stacked boards, thus doubling the power for the same amount of space. However, Brian Braswell kills the idea. Bosworth spots Cameron at the office and tells her she can work as late as needed, but she cannot live there, even though he apparently is temporarily doing exactly that. After getting a sizeable check, she stays at a hotel. Still struggling with the code, she goes to Joe's apartment and walks to the bedroom, while taking off her clothes.
