Halt and Catch Fire (Season 1)

ep.4 Close to the Metal

时长:00:43:01 / 首播:2014-06-22
Just as Cameron nears completion of the BIOS code for the new PC, disaster strikes, and she loses all her data, due to what appears (at first) to be a careless mistake. Further complicating the situation, Joe has brought in a reporter from a major business newspaper, and he witnesses the chaos with delight. Bosworth is summoned to a meeting by his boss, Nathan Cardiff, who seems to think he might be losing control of the project (to Joe). Gordon turns to Donna for help with restoring the lost BIOS code. She proposes an ingenious technical solution for recovering the data, which eventually proves successful. Later, a suspicious Donna confronts Joe in his office and accuses him of deliberately sabotaging Cameron's work in an effort to generate some publicity for the project. Joe reaches into a desk drawer and produces the real backup disks, proving her correct. While driving home, Joe is pulled over by the police and savagely beaten for no apparent reason. When Bosworth later arrives at the police station to pick him up, it becomes clear that the beating was a pointed message sent by Bosworth to remind Joe who's really in charge at Cardiff Electric.
