ELIZABETH HOLMES: Hello, Walgreens!
Welcome to Theranos.
CYNTHIA: Theranos is gonna be in stores!
ELIZABETH: Retail is in freefall.
So you're going to have to find
a new source of revenue.
For example, a wellness center.
You can't put this in stores!
- You're fired.
- BRENDAN: If you fire Ian,
you'll have to fire me.
You wanna fire me?
SECURITY: This is your new desk.
But, but my lab's downstairs.
Project Beta!
We are looking to make
a strategic connection in government.
Having George Schultz
would be a game-changer.

It's wonderful.
We start construction
at the Arizona store soon,
so trying to get everything ready.
So, um...
I just wanted to get a sense
of how much longer you guys
are going to need
before we can launch
the wellness centers.
Obviously, we had agreed on February.
That passed last month.
What is this?
That's where the device will go.
But we don't have dimensions
or any details yet, so...
I mean, obviously, we would like
to get them as soon as possible.

I hate to be the bad guy here,
but I'm going to need a firm date.
I, I thought you understood that
this process was going to be long.
JAY ROSEN: Absolutely.
But it has been three years.
And we have put in about $ million.
So I think that Wade is getting
a little bit frustrated.
Wade?
If you're not the one calling the sh*ts,
then maybe I should
just give Wade a call.
WADE: We can skip the call.
Because I'm here.
ROSEN: Okay.
Well, I said I could handle it.
Can you guys give us a moment?
DR. J: Isn't that comfy?
It's fine.
So... Elizabeth.
We're building these wellness centers
in our stores.
Two in Arizona, one in Palo Alto...
Well, I, I explained that,
- that this device is...
- Yeah, you've explained.
Except there's nothing
to explain because
we don't have this.
So here's my question.
When do we get it?
Wade, we care deeply
about our partnership.
And we're anxious to put
our best foot forward.
And what's the timeline for,
"We are anxious to put
our best foot forward"?
Because I've got one.
You want to hear it?
Hmm?
September.
September.
Six months from now.
No more breaks, no more extensions.
We'll be ready in September.

Of course, they are.
They think they can intimidate us

Settle it. Who cares? It's one patent.
You want to give her more money.
I just want it to be over.
If I settle now, I'm the schmuck.
I'm giving them what they want.
And then, what did I spend
hundreds of thousands of dollars

I can't even talk about

I had to defend myself and my family.

Her name is on them,

[INDISTINCT CHATTER]
Hey, uh, do you know what's going on?
Sorry, it's just my first day,
and I don't really know
what I'm supposed to do.
Get out.
[APPLAUDING]
[CHEERING]
Woo!
I wanted to start with a personal story.
I grew up spending summers
with my uncle.
I remember
his love of crossword puzzles
and trying to teach us to play football.
I remember how much he loved the beach.
I remember how much I loved him.
He was diagnosed one
day with skin cancer,
which all of a sudden was brain cancer
and in his bones.
And I never got to say goodbye.
Here at Theranos,
we see a world in which
every person has access
to actionable health information
at the time it matters.
A world in which no one ever has to say,
"If only I'd known sooner."
A world in which no one ever has
to say goodbye too soon.
[CHEERING AND APPLAUSE]
Our new logo is based on
The Flower of Life.
Intersecting circles connecting us all.
Alchemy.
Dark becomes light.
Death becomes life.
We can take something terrible
and pointless and make it
into something perfect.
[CHEERING AND APPLAUSE]
Yeah, that's right.
This isn't just my company.
This isn't just my job.
This is my religion.
This is who I am.
And anyone who doubts my company
doubts me.
Does anyone here doubt me?
Does anybody here doubt me?
EMPLOYEES: No.
If you do, you can get the f*ck out.
[SCATTERED LAUGHTER]
We launch in Walgreens in hours!
That's right. We did it.
[CHEERING AND APPLAUSE]
[WHISTLING]
f*ck yeah!
You heard about
the Halloween party coming up?
It's supposed to be crazy.
There's gonna be a bounce house.
I'm Mark. I'm the new lab director.
Hi, I'm Tyler.
It's all good.
[CHEERING AND APPLAUSE CONTINUE]
We lost Ian.
And you kept his widow's testimony out.
So here we are.
Nice to see you again.
Can I get you something to drink?
I'm just having some Cheez-Its.
[LAUGHS]
God, you're good.
I read your memoir.
Courting Justice. Great pun.
I thought it was fun.
Published by Miramax Books.
You represent Miramax
and Harvey Weinstein.
Oh, and you started
a film finance company.
They help you with that?
[DAVID CHUCKLES]
That's a little messy,
but... you're pretty good
at cleaning up messes.
What is it about Cheez-Its? Huh?
I just can't get enough of 'em.
You think it's the aftertaste?
You came from a small town, like me.
You want people to think
you're a sweet old law professor,
with your cheap suits
and your Cheez-Its.
But you just want the money
and you want to win.
And speaking of winning...
here's what we're offering.
You withdraw the patent,
and we'll drop the lawsuit against you.
Oh, sure.
- Okay, fine.
- DAVID: Good.
Good.
We're going to get
the paperwork sorted out.
But, um,
I'm not done with this.
I'm going to figure it out.
Everything you're not telling me?
I'm going to figure it out.
Well...
goodbye, Dr. Fuisz.
[CELL PHONE RINGING]
What?
Richard Fuisz.
I haven't seen you
since the investor's conference.
- What can I do for you?
- Phyllis. Hello.
I don't know if you've heard,
but, uh, I was sued recently.
PHYLLIS GARDNER: What? No.
I hadn't heard that. You okay?
RICHARD FUISZ: Oh, I'm great.
Just great.
I heard you maybe knew Elizabeth Holmes.
She was a student when you were...
Elizabeth Holmes. Of course, I do.
