"Two Days of the Condor" is an episode of the comedy television series Silicon Valley. It constitutes the tenth and final of the second season, and the 18th overall episode of the series. The episode was written and directed by Alec Berg.
In the episode, while Pied Piper's livestream of a technician from the National History Museum falling down a ravine gains traction, Richard continues to fight a lawsuit from Hooli alleging that the Pied Piper IP is theirs. The livestream goes viral soon becomes an meme in the Philippines, causing Pied Piper's servers to catch fire. Meanwhile, the judge rules that Hooli legally owns the Pied Piper IP. Facing no other option, Richard tells Dinesh to delete Pied Piper. Richard learns that, due to specific language in his contract, Richard wasn't legally employed by Hooli, meaning Richard actually owns Pied Piper and its IP. Per Richard's request, Dinesh creates a script to delete Pied Piper; due to a bug in the script, the script crashes, saving Pied Piper.
