Scene 81 of 189 · ≈ 1 min on screen
Mark Zuckerberg wants status and belonging Harvard's final clubs won't give him, so he builds a website that gives the world both — and loses his best friend and co-founder to the company he built to prove he mattered.
Mark at the campus bar: brilliant, status-obsessed, unable to read the room he's sitting in.
He wants to matter — to be let into the final clubs, to be exceptional enough that Erica's verdict is wrong — and Facemash is the first proof-of-concept.
Cameron, Tyler, and Divya recruit Mark to build HarvardConnection — the idea that becomes Facebook arrives from outside him.
An envelope from Phoenix slides under Eduardo's door as he's on the phone.
Eduardo delivers his Phoenix second-cut news to Mark, who's absorbed in wiring up a dedicated server and barely reacts.
Gage reads yet another stalling e-mail from Mark about a busy coding schedule.
