You're saying it's unusual for 4 in the

morning?

GRAD STUDENT

I'm saying it. would be unusual for

Mother's Day.

Alright.

COX hangs up the phone.

COX (CONT'D)

I have to go in.

COX'S WIFE

What's going on?

Harvard's computer system's about to

crash.

CUT TO:

INT. MARK'S DORM ROOM - NIGHT

Pictures are flying by on Mark's computer when suddenly they

freeze,

Then an icon comes up telling him he's no longer connected to

the internet.

Everyone is frozen silent for a moment...

You don't think--

I do,

Go see if it's everybody.

DUSTIN, CHRIS and EDUARDO head out of the room. MARX drains

what's left of the vodka and lights a cigarette as the guys

start coming back in the room.

Mine's down.

My computer's' frozen.

I mean...unless it's a coincidence I

think this is-Us,

It's not a coincidence.

(BAD)

Holy shit.

(GOOD)

Yeah,

CUT TO;

It's three years later and MARK is sitting with his LAWYERS at

a large conference table.

MARK is wearing a hoodie, sweatpants and Adidas flip-flops--a

personal uniform that we'll come to understand. And while it

may take us a while to notice it, MARK's a different person in

these flash-forward scenes. Still tortured and complicated,

but comfortable now with his own power.

His lawyer is SY, who's accompanied by some junior associates,

one of whom--a pleasant, pretty and professional young

contemporary of Mark's named MARYLIN, we'll get to know.

On the other side are EDUARDO and his lawyer, GRETCHEN, also

a. • mpanied by some associates. A STENOGRAPHER is typing the

recor..

The room is glass on two sides and through the windows we can

see the behemoths of Silicon valley--Oracle, SunMicrosystems,

Google, etc.

GRETCHEN is taking MARK's deposition.

So you were called in front of the Ad

Board.

That's not what happened.

You weren't called in front of the

Administrative Board?

No, back, I mean--That's--back at the bar

with Erica Albright. She said all that?

That I said that stuff to her?

i was reading from the transcript of her

why would you even need to depose her?

That's really for us to--

You think if I know she can make me look

like a. jerk I'll be more likely--

MARK€”

--to settle, right?

Why don't we stretch our legs a minute,

can we do that? It's been almost three

hours and frankly you did spend an awful

lot of time embarrassing Mr. Zuckerberg

with the girl's testimony in the bar.

I'm not embarrassed, it's just that she

made a lot of that up.

She was under oath.

Then I guess that would be the first time

somebody's lied under oath.

People are stretching and getting coffee and talking quietly.

MARK stays in his seat.

MARYLIN, the attractive second year associate who's on Mark's

legal team is still sitting too... about four seats down from

Mark.

Eight percent of the male population of

Harvard had been on it within two hours?

(BEAT)

Eighty.

What?

MARK ' '

Eighty percent of the male population.

(PAUSE--EVEN)

Wow.

CUT TO:

The Harvard Crew is practicing on two-man sculls. There are

three boats that are running roughly even with each other and

the two-man crews are rowing with all they've got. We're

gliding along with them in the water--
