00:14:21,110          Well, it turns out                     to be a threat,           278 00:14:21,151 --> 00:14:24,071       so they try to contain it           in this, uh, in this box...     279 00:14:25,823 --> 00:14:28,409             but it grows                     in size and strength.        280 00:14:30,035 --> 00:14:31,996          And then it started                   killing everybody.         281 00:14:32,037 --> 00:14:35,124     Well, their last hope is they         lure it into an escape pod,     282 00:14:35,165 --> 00:14:37,543           they shoot it out                     into deep space,          283 00:14:37,585 --> 00:14:39,461        and they save humanity,                  what have you.            284 00:14:39,503 --> 00:14:40,713            The point is...           285 00:14:42,923 --> 00:14:45,259         Travis is the alien.         286 00:14:45,301 --> 00:14:48,053         He will destroy Uber,                  our reputations,           287 00:14:48,095 --> 00:14:50,055           our livelihoods,                  and we will be screwed.       288 00:14:50,097 --> 00:14:52,057  And if we don't put him in a box           and keep him there,         289 00:14:52,099 --> 00:14:54,351          we'll all be dead.          290 00:14:54,393 --> 00:14:56,395     [Garrett] What kind of a box          are we talking about here?      291 00:14:56,437 --> 00:14:58,105     Because this leave of absence                 was a joke,             292 00:14:58,147 --> 00:15:00,399         and as everyone knows,              he can't just be fired.       293 00:15:00,441 --> 00:15:02,359          Not with the shares                   and bylaws as is.          294 00:15:02,401 --> 00:15:03,861          Even with my weight                    of the shares,            295 00:15:03,903 --> 00:15:05,905      all I can do is block him,                   not remove.             296 00:15:09,700 --> 00:15:10,910                [sighs]               297 00:15:12,870 --> 00:15:15,831           That's why we have                  to have him resign.         298 00:15:15,873 --> 00:15:18,000               [Graves]                        Never gonna happen.         299 00:15:18,042 --> 00:15:20,377            He loves Uber.                  He breathes it like air.       300 00:15:20,419 --> 00:15:23,464          What-- What's the--                     the leverage?            301 00:15:24,965 --> 00:15:26,342              The press.              302 00:15:26,383 --> 00:15:28,385        They're all over this.        303 00:15:28,427 --> 00:15:30,095          Travis is concerned               about how he's gonna look      304 00:15:30,137 --> 00:15:32,097        when he gets kicked out                of his own company,         305 00:15:32,139 --> 00:15:35,184       so we draft two letters.       306 00:15:35,225 --> 00:15:36,685         One, our grievances.         307 00:15:36,727 --> 00:15:38,520             All of them.             308 00:15:38,562 --> 00:15:40,022       And we demand he resign.       309 00:15:40,064 --> 00:15:42,775           The second one's                     his resignation.           310 00:15:42,816 --> 00:15:44,610  We frame it as him stepping down  311 00:15:44,652 --> 00:15:47,571           in order to deal                   with family matters.         312 00:15:47,613 --> 00:15:50,491          But we let him know                 that if he signs one,        313 00:15:50,532 --> 00:15:53,243       the press will never see                    the other.              314 00:15:54,662 --> 00:15:56,538          And if he doesn't,                    what about then?           315 00:15:58,207 --> 00:16:00,292       Well, I guess we convert          the preferred stock to common,    316 00:16:00,334 --> 00:16:02,878         and all the investors            and the employees get votes.     317 00:16:02,920 --> 00:16:04,880              [Drummond]                         A proxy fight?            318 00:16:04,922 --> 00:16:08,467     At the cost of us losing our        dividends and claims on assets?  319 00:16:10,678 --> 00:16:13,263      I'd say that's the nuclear                 fucking option.           320 00:16:13,305 --> 00:16:14,890               [Gurley]                              It is.                321 00:16:14,932 --> 00:16:16,350        And that's exactly why        322 00:16:16,392 --> 00:16:18,352        we have got to get him                    to step down.            323 00:16:18,394 --> 00:16:19,895         What the hell happens        324 00:16:19,937 --> 00:16:21,522          in that movie with                 the alien anyway, Bill?       325 00:16:21,563 --> 00:16:24,483     They able to send that thing                back to space?            326 00:16:24,525 --> 00:16:25,985      No, it landed in the water                    on Earth               327 00:16:26,026 --> 00:16:27,486          and some fishermen                  opened it up, and...         328 00:16:28,946 --> 00:16:30,739     that's where the movie ended.    329 00:16:34,326 --> 00:16:36,120    I need you in on this with me.    330 00:16:36,161 --> 00:16:38,831     Not halfway, not just forward            facing, but for real.        331 00:16:40,332 --> 00:16:42,084       Arianna, I know how much               this matters to you.         332 00:16:43,544 --> 00:16:46,296            I truly believe                   that in the long run,        333 00:16:46,338 --> 00:16:49,508          this is what's best                    for Travis too.           334 00:16:49,550 --> 00:16:51,677         I like that you make                   this appeal to me          335 00:16:51,719 --> 00:16:54,263       knowing I care about him                   holistically,            336 00:16:54,304 --> 00:16:57,516        but I have a duty to do          the right thing for the company  337 00:16:57,558 --> 00:16:59,143            and for Travis.           338 00:16:59,184 --> 00:17:00,728              And I will.             339 00:17:04,189 --> 00:17:05,649        So you're with us then?       340 00:17:08,360 --> 00:17:10,029               Garrett?               341 00:17:14,199 --> 00:17:15,659               [Gurley]                   We have to have your support.    342 00:17:15,701 --> 00:17:17,536            Like you said,                   you have enough shares        343 00:17:17,578 --> 00:17:19,246           to block anything                the rest of us want to do      344 00:17:19,288 --> 00:17:20,956      if you line up with Travis.     345 00:17:20,998 --> 00:17:22,541              Yeah, well,                  it's important to remember      346 00:17:22,583 --> 00:17:24,126        that every single thing                Travis Kalanick did         347 00:17:24,168 --> 00:17:25,419         was to further Uber.         348 00:17:25,461 --> 00:17:27,212      It's important to remember      349 00:17:27,254 --> 00:17:29,048      what the world looked like                  before Uber.             350 00:17:29,089 --> 00:17:31,550    It's important to remember this        was a worthy revolution.       351 00:17:31,592 --> 00:17:33,218          They're all worthy.         352 00:17:34,595 --> 00:17:36,638        That's why they happen.       353 00:17:36,680 --> 00:17:39,016       But most revolutionaries          don't become the best leaders.    354 00:17:39,058 --> 00:17:40,392         They become fascists.        355 00:17:40,434 --> 00:17:42,019            And one by one                     throughout history,         356 00:17:42,061 --> 00:17:43,979        they end up getting rid               of horrible regimes.         357 00:17:44,021 --> 00:17:46,315      They set out to do better,          but they end up doing worse.     358 00:17:46,356 --> 00:17:48,984        Until they get unseated               by the next monster.         359 00:17:49,026 --> 00:17:50,986            And if you think                    I'm exaggerating,          360 00:17:51,028 --> 00:17:54,698    you name me one group of rebels       who didn't become fascists.     361 00:17:54,740 --> 00:17:57,409          Well, the American                    Revolutionaries.           362 00:18:00,954 --> 00:18:04,708           Bill, Uber itself                   was the revolution.         363 00:18:04,750 --> 00:18:07,252         The people running it            hardly matter at this point.     364 00:18:10,297 --> 00:18:12,091        Yeah, TK, he has to go.       365 00:18:13,467 --> 00:18:14,760         He likes it too much.        366

00:18:22,309        If he's left in place,        369 00:18:22,351 --> 00:18:25,395        all the treasure gained           in the uprising will be lost.    370 00:18:27,481 --> 00:18:30,442         You know, we'd better                 draft this letter.          371 00:18:30,484 --> 00:18:33,237       I need to know for myself               just how bad it is          372 00:18:33,278 -->
