00:00:14 MARK: Who are you?

00:00:26 MARK: Who are you?

00:00:49 HELLY: Hello?

00:00:58 MARK: I'm sorry, I got ahead of myself.

00:01:02 MARK: Hi there, you on the table. I wonder if you'd mind taking a brief survey.

00:01:07 HELLY: Who is that?

00:01:09 MARK: Five questions.

00:01:10 MARK: Now, I know you're sleepy, but I just bet it'll make you feel right as rain.

00:01:16 HELLY: Who's speaking?

00:01:27 HELLY: Oh, God.

00:01:37 HELLY: Hey! Open the door!

00:01:47 MARK: I'd be just thrilled to chat once we've run the survey. Shall we begin with question one?

00:01:54 HELLY: I'm not taking your survey.

00:01:57 MARK: Shall we begin with question one?

00:02:02 HELLY: Let me out of here.

00:02:08 HELLY: Hey!

00:02:10 HELLY: Open the door!

00:02:13 HELLY: Fuck.

00:02:15 HELLY: Hey! Let me out!

00:02:41 HELLY: Hey.

00:02:44 MARK: Hello.

00:02:46 HELLY: Five questions?

00:02:48 MARK: Five questions.

00:02:51 HELLY: What do I get at the end?

00:02:54 MARK: Depends on your answers.

00:02:59 HELLY: Okay.

00:03:01 MARK: Great. Off we go. Now to start, who are you?

00:03:06 HELLY: That's the first question?

00:03:09 MARK: First name will do.

00:03:24 HELLY: I don't…

00:03:26 MARK: It's okay. If you can't answer the question, feel free to say, “unknown.”

00:03:32 HELLY: What is this?

00:03:34 MARK: Okay, unknown.

00:03:35 MARK: Question two, in which US state or territory were you born?

00:03:39 HELLY: Wait. MARK: Which state or territory, please?

00:03:42 HELLY: I don't know. MARK: Unknown.

00:03:44 MARK: Question three, please name any US state or territory.

00:03:48 HELLY: Fuck. I… MARK: First that comes to mind.

00:03:49 HELLY: I don't know. Delaware. What is this? MARK: Delaware.

00:03:52 MARK: Question four, what is Mr. Eagan's favorite breakfast?

00:03:57 HELLY: I don't… That one makes no sense.

00:03:58 MARK: Right? Unknown. Question five. And as a reminder, this is the final question. To the best of your memory, what is or was the color of your mother's eyes?

00:04:27 HELLY: Okay, what's hap… What's happening?

00:04:29 MARK: Unknown. So that's unknown, unknown, Delaware, unknown, unknown.

00:04:38 HELLY: What the hell did you do to me?

00:04:51 MARK: That's a perfect score.

00:06:49 FLORENCE: Are you ready for Mr. Scout?

00:07:00 FLORENCE: Thank you.

00:07:05 FLORENCE: Go ahead.

00:08:31 JUDD: Mr. Scout.

00:08:33 MARK: Hi, Judd.

00:08:44 JUDD: All right, see you this evening. MARK: Yep, see you soon.

00:11:16 DYLAN: You're breathing shitty. MARK: Sorry.

00:11:17 DYLAN: You sick?

00:11:19 MARK: Maybe. Petey was sniffling yesterday.

00:11:21 DYLAN: If you breathe on me, I'll rip your larynx out.

00:11:23 MARK: Wow. That went right to ten. I feel like ripping out my germ-ridden larynx would get you sicker than just me breathing on you.

00:11:33 MARK: Oh.

00:11:35 DYLAN: Petey better not be out for the day, 'cause I'm about zero seconds from wrapping the Tumwater file, and he needs to process it.

00:11:40 MARK: I think he's out.

00:11:43 DYLAN: If he doesn't process today, they won't know until Tuesday of next week. It's typical Lumon bullshit.

00:11:47 MARK: Careful, guy.

00:11:50 IRVING: Hi, kids. What's for dinner?

00:11:52 DYLAN: Goddamn it, Irv. We warned you.

00:11:54 IRVING: About the greeting? You were kidding.

00:11:55 DYLAN: No, we sincerely hate it. How many reasons did we come up with?

00:12:00 MARK: Eight. DYLAN: Eight reasons.

00:12:02 DYLAN: Chief among them the latent condescension.

00:12:05 MARK: And it's confusing. Like, did the kids make you dinner in this scenario? Or…

00:12:08 DYLAN: Yeah. What kind of a shit dad are you?

00:12:12 IRVING: No Petey? MARK: We think he's sick.

00:12:14 IRVING: Oh, no. And Dylan's about to wrap Tumwater today.

00:12:17 DYLAN: Yeah, and if he doesn't see me finish, I might get passed over for Refiner of the Quarter and miss out on my goddamn Waffle Party.

00:12:23 IRVING: Grumble, grumble. These perks are so out of hand. When we'd process a file in the old days, they'd shake our hand and fill up the creamer.

00:12:30 DYLAN: I still don't buy they actually incentivized creamer.

00:12:32 IRVING: They did. And back then, we were grateful for it.

00:12:35 DYLAN: That's fucked, dude.

00:12:37 IRVING: Yes, very fucked. To put in an honest day's work and not get a children's breakfast in return.

00:12:43 DYLAN: Irv's got claws today.

00:12:46 MILCHICK: Good morning, Macrodata Refinement.

00:12:49 IRVING: Hi, Mr. Milchick.

00:12:51 MILCHICK: Mark, could I have a word?

00:13:23 MILCHICK: Last time you saw Ms. Cobel, she was in her old office. Now she's in her new office. It's a completely different office.

00:13:31 MARK: What's this about?

00:13:32 MILCHICK: She'd never say so, but I know a compliment about the office would just make her day.

00:13:47 COBEL: Mark? Come in. Shut the thing.

00:13:51 MARK: Nice office.

00:13:52 COBEL: It's horrid.

00:13:55 MARK: Yeah, the old one was better.

00:14:04 COBEL: Oh… You look awful. You look hungover. Have a seat.

00:14:15 COBEL: The Board will be joining us remotely today.

00:14:20 COBEL: I have Mark S. at my desk.

00:14:32 MARK: Oh, uh, hello. I assume this is about me acting as department chief today. Okay. Well… I mean, I've subbed for Petey before, so it shouldn't be that big a thing.

00:14:47 COBEL: Petey is no longer with this company.

00:14:52 MARK: I'm sorry?

00:14:54 COBEL: I said, Petey is no longer with this company.

00:14:59 MILCHICK: I'm sorry, Mark. You guys were one of my favorite office friendships.

00:15:06 MARK: I mean, there should have been some notice of this. What happened?

00:15:10 MILCHICK: We'd love to tell you, but unfortunately, non-disclosure policy forbids. We'd be aiding an assault on Petey's privacy by you.

00:15:20 COBEL: Mark, would you place your key card on my desk?

00:15:29 COBEL: Mark S., at this time I confer upon you the freedom to serve Kier in the advanced role of Macrodata Refinement department chief. Congratulations.

00:15:49 COBEL: Oh, a handshake is available upon request.

00:15:58 MARK: Thank you. May I have a handshake?

00:16:07 COBEL: I know you haven't run a training before, but Irving will be there to shadow. Just stick to the flowchart and escalate properly depending on dialectics. You'll be fine.

00:16:17 MILCHICK: If you need to take a few minutes… MARK: Thank you. I don't.

00:16:23 MARK: Oh, and, uh, thank you to the Board as well.

00:16:28 COBEL: The Board won't be contributing to this meeting vocally.

00:16:43 IRVING: Our last refiner, who was a woman, was…

00:16:46 MARK: Carol. Dylan's old seat.

00:16:51 IRVING: Don't be sad.

00:16:52 MARK: I'm fine. We'll be fine.

00:16:54 IRVING: I know you and Petey were close. He was the only one who really appreciated your humor.

00:17:00 MARK: Everything's fine. So, I'm supposed to start with just the input survey? Isn't that a little weird?

00:17:05 MILCHICK: It's standard. Just start at 1A and continue by line, based on her answers.

00:17:10 MARK: Well, what if I just talk to her?

00:17:12 MILCHICK: She deserves to have the information presented to her in the proper order. Just as you had.

151 00:17:17 “If the trainee becomes agitated and demands to leave, skip to page 19.”

152 00:17:24 She has to ask three times for you to let her.

153 00:17:27 Right. Yes.

154 00:17:33 Image is good.

155 00:17:36 She looks nice.

156 00:17:39 Okay. You're all set.

157 00:17:44 I just love seeing you all come in like this.

158 00:17:48 Go on ahead when you're ready.

159 00:17:53 - All right. - Okay.

160 00:18:02 There you go.

161 00:18:06 Who are you?

162 00:18:16 All right.

163 00:18:19 Who are you?

164 00:18:26 - Mark. - What?

165 00:18:28 You skipped the preamble.

166 00:18:30 Hello?

167 00:18:31 Shit!

168 00:18:36 I'm sorry, I got ahead of myself.

169 00:18:42 - That's it. - Okay.

170 00:18:45 Hi there, you on the table.

171 00:18:46 I wonder if you'd mind taking a brief survey.

172 00:18:51 Who is that?

173 00:18:53 Five questions.

174 00:18:55 Now, I know you're sleepy,

175 00:18:56 but I just bet it'll make you feel right as rain.

176 00:19:01 Who's speaking?

177 00:19:02 “Who's speaking?”

178 00:19:17 Hey! Open the door!

179 00:19:18 Mark.

180 00:19:20 I'd be just thrilled to chat, once we've run the survey.

181 00:19:22 Shall we begin with question one?

182 00:19:24 I'm not taking your survey.

183 00:19:29 Shall we begin with question one?

184 00:19:32 Let me out of here. Hey!

185 00:19:37 - Open the door! - She's not supposed to do that.

186 00:19:40 Hey!

187 00:19:41 She's going to break in.

188 00:19:43 - Let me out! - No, she's not.

189 00:19:46 Are you seeing this?

190 00:19:48 I'm watching.

191 00:19:51 Should I help?

192 00:19:54 You should not.

193 00:20:02 That's a perfect score.

194 00:20:05 Now, I think I know where our disconnect is coming from.

195 00:20:10 - What? - Well, there was a preamble,

196 00:20:13 which I was supposed to read before the survey,

197 00:20:15 to lead into the questions and…

198 00:20:19 But I unfortunately skipped that and went straight into the survey.

199 00:20:22 Am I livestock?

200 00:20:24 I'm sorry?

201 00:20:26 Like, did you grow me as food and that's why I have no memories?

202 00:20:33 You think we grew a full human, gave you consciousness…

203 00:20:38 - I don't know. - did your nails and…

204 00:20:39 I don't know. I don't know you.

205 00:20:41 No, you're not livestock. Good Lord.

206 00:20:44 Then what's my name?

207 00:20:47 Helly.

208 00:20:48 Your name is Helly. Helly R.

209 00:20:52 Please.

210 00:21:08 Thank you for taking the welcome survey.

211 00:21:10 I can sense that the questions made you feel afraid or disoriented.

212 00:21:14 Well, the good news is, you're at an orientation.

213 00:21:25 You see, you have been hired to a position

214 00:21:28 on the severed floor of Lumon Industries.

215 00:21:31 The what floor?

216 00:21:44 I understand you're confused about the severance procedure.

217 00:21:49 Before we hop on that,

218 00:21:50 let's chat about something I bet you have heard of, the work/life balance.

219 00:21:56 To start, imagine yourself as a seesaw.

220 00:22:01 Fuck!

221 00:22:02 That locks from out there!

222 00:22:04 - Let me out! - God!

223 00:22:08 Can we just take a beat? Please.

224 00:22:24 Please.

225 00:22:47 Okay, my name's Mark.

226 00:22:50 And… So, I…

227 00:22:53 You know, few years back, I woke up on this table.

228 00:22:57 In this room.

229 00:22:58 And a disembodied voice asked me 19 times who I was.

230 00:23:07 And when I realized I couldn't answer,

231 00:23:09 I told that voice that I would find him and kill him.

232 00:23:16 I don't know why I said that. I mean, I was scared too.

233 00:23:20 Did you kill the voice?

234 00:23:23 No.

235 00:23:25 No, that voice's name was Petey, and he became my best friend.

236 00:23:32 So, look, you know, there is a life to be had here, Helly.

237 00:23:36 A life to be had?

238 00:23:47 Well, you see, life, like a seesaw, requi…

239 00:23:56 Let me the fuck out of here!

240 00:24:07 - Ask me again. - What?

241 00:24:10 You've asked twice to be let go. Ask one more time.

242 00:24:16 - Mark. - Yeah?

243 00:24:18 I would like to leave the building now.

244 00:24:23 I understand you don't feel it's working out for you here at Lumon.

245 00:24:26 While disappointed, I'd hate to keep you somewhere you're not happy.

246 00:24:30 So, let's get you outta here.

247 00:24:39 Irv.

248 00:25:03 The departments are pretty spaced out, but it'll all fill in one day.

249 00:25:07 They're planning an expansion.

250 00:25:10 And I'm, what, part of that?

251 00:25:12 No. You're a replacement.

252 00:25:15 Replacement for who?

253 00:25:18 Why are you saying that like you hate it?

254 00:25:27 Here's your stairwell. Just past the bend.

255 00:25:36 You're not coming with me?

256 00:25:38 I'm not allowed to see.

257 00:25:39 Excuse me?

258 00:25:41 Well, once you leave, you…

259 00:25:44 I just can't watch you leave.

260 00:25:53 Of course you can't.

261 00:26:27 What the hell?

262 00:27:21 - Am I dead? - No.

263 00:27:24 - This isn't, like, hell or something? - No.

264 00:27:27 Then why the fuck can't I leave?

265 00:27:29 Well, you did leave, just now. Out into the stairwell at least.

266 00:27:32 You left, but you came back.

267 00:27:35 - I did not. - You did.

268 00:27:38 Come on.

269 00:27:42 Weaponizing office equipment on your first day.

270 00:27:46 You are gonna be fun.

271 00:27:49 Look, I do sympathize.

272 00:27:51 I've wanted to pummel Mark myself, but I am his employer.

273 00:27:56 And he is your department chief.

274 00:27:59 So we'll both have to be strong.

275 00:28:03 The good news is, there's only one part left of your orientation,

276 00:28:07 which Mark can't possibly derail.

277 00:28:11 Why is that?

278 00:28:12 Because it's a video.

279 00:28:22 Welcome to Lumon, Helly.

280 00:28:50 Have a seat.

281 00:29:10 Are you mad at me?

282 00:29:13 For the incompetence or the disobedience?

283 00:29:18 - Well… - Yes!

284 00:29:22 You know, my mother was an atheist.

285 00:29:25 She used to say that there was good news and bad news about hell.

286 00:29:29 The good news is,

287 00:29:31 hell is just the product of a morbid human imagination.

288 00:29:36 The bad news is,

289 00:29:39 whatever humans can imagine, they can usually create.

290 00:29:47 I don't know what that means.

291 00:29:51 A department like yours can go so good or so bad.

292 00:29:55 You know what makes the difference?

293 00:30:04 The people.

294 00:30:16 You can have a seat.

295 00:30:31 Okay, go ahead and have a seat.

296 00:30:44 My name is Helly R.

297 00:30:47 I'm making this video

298 00:30:49 roughly two hours before it will be shown to me.

299 00:30:55 I have, of my own free accord, elected to undergo the procedure

300 00:30:58 colloquially known as severance.

301 00:31:02 I give consent for my perceptual chronologies to be surgically split,

302 00:31:07 separating my memories between my work life and my personal life.

303 00:31:12 I acknowledge that, henceforth,

304 00:31:14 my access to my memories will be spatially dictated.

305 00:31:19 I will be unable to access outside recollections

306 00:31:22 whilst on Lumon's severed basement floor,

307 00:31:25 nor retain work memories upon my ascent.

308 00:31:29 I am aware that this alteration

309 00:31:33 is comprehensive and irreversible.

310 00:31:37 I make these statements freely.

311 00:31:44 Okay, that's a wrap.

312 00:31:54 Okay.

313 00:31:56 Go ahead.

314 00:32:16 So I'll never leave here?

315 00:32:20 You'll leave at 5:00.

316 00:32:22 Well, actually, they stagger our exits, so 5:15.

317 00:32:26 But it won't feel like it. Not to this version of you anyway.

318 00:32:31 Do I have a family?

319 00:32:33 You'll never know.

320 00:32:36 And I have no choice.

321 00:32:39 Well, every time you find yourself here, it's because you chose to come back.

322 00:33:13 Hello.

323 00:33:52 Good night.

324 00:33:53 Good night.

325 00:34:43 “Dear Mark, Whilst carrying boxes in a room today,

326 00:34:46 you slipped on an overhead projector slide

327 00:34:48 and sustained a minor blow to the temple.”

328 00:35:20 Hey!

329 00:35:22 Sorry.

330 00:35:25 Maybe keep your eyes on the icy road.

331 00:35:29 Sorry.

332 00:36:30 Indeed, this gnat will spend much of its three to seven-day life…

333 00:36:52 No, I know, Mrs. Selvig. It's just, it was in my space again.

334 00:36:57 Yeah. Well, trash comes tomorrow night. Tonight's recycling.

335 00:37:02 Yeah, it is weird, but that's how they do it.

336 00:37:05 And with both yours, there's no room for…

337 00:37:25 - Hey. - Hey.

338 00:37:31 Did you forget?

339 00:37:37 Oh, yeah. Shit.

340 00:37:38 That's okay.

341 00:37:40 - Sorry. - That's fine.

342 00:37:41 - Do you wanna put on pants, and I'll… - I'm wearing pants.

343 00:37:44 meet you in… Those are not pants.

344 00:37:47 So if there's no dinner, how is it dinner?

345 00:37:51 - Okay. - Like…

346 00:37:53 You actually owe me this.

347 00:37:55 - Do I? - Yep.

348 00:37:57 You remember that time when we were kids and I was a way better sibling than you?

349 00:38:00 Must have slipped my mind.

350 00:38:04 Also, I know we're nearing the anniversary,

351 00:38:06 so I just thought maybe you'd wanna be around people.

352 00:38:10 Nope.

353 00:38:13 This is nice. When did you get it?

354 00:38:15 Something from work, and they apologized.

355 00:38:18 They apologized. Thank God.

356 00:38:20 Did they tack an explanation onto that apology?

357 00:38:22 It's fine. Got a gift card.

358 00:38:25 You got a gift card. Where's he going to?

359 00:38:29 I don't know. Pip's.

360 00:38:31 Of course it's Pip's. Well, enjoy.

361 00:38:34 I will, without you.

362 00:38:45 There's our captive.

363 00:38:46 - Hi, Rick. - Ricken. Come on, it's Ricken.

364 00:38:50 - You, sir, look at peace. - You know.

365 00:38:53 - Okay. - Hi, baby.

366 00:38:54 Hi.

367 00:38:56 No, what a lot of people overlook, I think, is that life is not food.

368 00:39:00 - Right. - You've got life,

369 00:39:02 this complex quality of sentience and activity.

370 00:39:06 And then you've got food, which is what?

371 00:39:09 - Yes, what is it? - Fuel.

372 00:39:11 Calories. It's not the same thing.

373 00:39:13 - Yes, that is spot on, Patton. - I definitely agree.

374 00:39:15 Though, if I'm…

375 00:39:17 Sorry, Mark and my dad used to have “whiskey is life” carved on a flask.

376 00:39:24 - True. - It was low-hanging fruit.

377 00:39:26 He did. He was a misdiagnosed alcoholic.

378 00:39:28 Now, Mark, Ricken told Rebeck and me that you're a former history professor.

379 00:39:32 Yeah.

380 00:39:33 So I'm curious for your take on all of this.

381 00:39:37 The food v life of it.

382 00:39:41 Well, I'm not sure. I taught mostly about World War I.

383 00:39:44 Okay. Well, I got one for you.

384 00:39:47 I was just reading this think piece

385 00:39:49 about the comparative levels of violence and warfare throughout history.

386 00:39:53 Nerd alert.

387 00:39:54 War porn, I know.

388 00:39:56 But anyway, in it, he said that the people actually called it the Great War.

389 00:40:03 Apparently, it would have been a faux pas to have called it World War I.

390 00:40:06 Is that right?

391 00:40:11 Well, you know, no one would've called it World War I

392 00:40:16 'cause World War II hadn't happened yet.

393 00:40:21 - Wow. - Of course.

394 00:40:23 - That's absolutely right. - Duh.

395 00:40:25 That's so true.

396 00:40:26 This is why we bring this guy.

397 00:40:28 Mark's late wife, Gemma, was an educator as well. Russian literature.

398 00:40:32 - I love literature. - Right?

399 00:40:35 But Mark is a Lumon man now.

400 00:40:37 - Ricken. - Really?

401 00:40:39 Yeah. About two years.

402 00:40:41 - Do you design the medicines? - No.

403 00:40:43 I thought Lumon was more on the tech side of things.

404 00:40:45 - They began in the 1800s. - Really?

405 00:40:47 Topical salves, right?

406 00:40:49 What don't they make?

407 00:40:51 Yeah, but I'm in the corporate archives division, so…

408 00:40:54 So you know all the dirty secrets.

409 00:40:57 - No, not really. - No.

410 00:40:59 Mark's work is sensitive enough as to require the severance procedure.

411 00:41:07 Well.

412 00:41:10 That's something, isn't it?

413 00:41:14 Yeah. It's also, I think, something that's his choice to tell people or not.

414 00:41:17 - Right, Ricken? - Oh, my God.

415 00:41:18 - No. No. - Oh, God, Mark.

416 00:41:20 - Please forgive me. - No. It's okay. I don't care.

417 00:41:22 - My apologies. - No, I think it's fascinating.

418 00:41:25 I mean, I wish I could do it.

419 00:41:28 I'd just always be thinking about, you know, the other one.

420 00:41:34 Well, there is no other one.

421 00:41:38 It's me. I do the job.

422 00:41:40 I just don't grasp the visceral element. What does it feel like?

423 00:41:48 Well, it's simple. One's memories are bifurcated,

424 00:41:51 so when you're not at work, you have no recollection of what it is you do there.

425 00:41:55 Did I get that right, Mark?

426 00:41:56 - Well, it's… - So you walk in at 9:00 a.m.,

427 00:41:59 and then suddenly it's 5:00, and you're leaving?

428 00:42:01 - Well, they stagger us a little, so… - They stagger you?

429 00:42:04 And then, conversely, when you're at work, you can't access outside memories.

430 00:42:07 So, in effect, that version of you is trapped there.

431 00:42:11 Well…

432 00:42:13 - Well, I mean, not trapped, but… - But what?

433 00:42:20 No, no. I'm curious. What were you gonna say? But not trapped, but what?

434 00:42:27 What were you saying?

435 00:42:32 So I suppose we know where you fall on the congressional goings-on.

436 00:42:35 Okay, I think we may be

437 00:42:36 - missing the point here. - Yeah.

438 00:42:39 The point is that Mark made a decision.

439 00:42:42 And that decision was controversial,

440 00:42:45 ethically and socially.

441 00:42:47 Morally. Scientifically.

442 00:42:51 But, Mark, I stand behind you

443 00:42:55 without reservation.

444 00:42:56 - So well said. - Thank you.

445 00:42:58 - Absolutely. - I definitely stand behind Mark.

446 00:43:02 Wow.

447 00:43:04 Thank you. That's very sweet.

448 00:43:07 Well, we're at the point where, traditionally,

449 00:43:10 I would say something like, “Dig in.”

450 00:43:13 But I must say, I do think that the lack of food

451 00:43:16 has allowed us to already do so on a much deeper level.

452 00:43:21 - Oh, yeah. No, absolutely. - Right?

453 00:43:23 I was saying, my friend in Lima hasn't had a food-based dinner event in…

454 00:43:27 If I give you $3,000, will you forgive me?

455 00:43:31 Well, because your child is innocent of tonight's atrocities,

456 00:43:36 I'll wait until after it's born to murder you.

457 00:43:40 Oh, my God. Here you go, buddy.

458 00:43:46 Thank you.

459 00:43:52 Hey, how's the good doctor therapy man with that weird little mustache?

460 00:44:01 You're not going?

461 00:44:04 Well, the work thing's helped.

462 00:44:08 Yeah.

463 00:44:10 I'm proud of you for taking that job. I really am.

464 00:44:14 And I think she would've been too. I know she would've been.

465 00:44:20 I just feel like forgetting about her for eight hours a day

466 00:44:23 isn't the same thing as healing.

467 00:44:34 You wanna crash here, since you're already here?

468 00:44:38 No.

469 00:44:40 Why?

470 00:44:41 Your house smells like pregnancy.

471 00:44:47 Yeah, I'm just not grasping the visceral element of it.

472 00:44:51 She is fun, wasn't she?

473 00:44:53 - You're definitely staying here tonight. - No, I'm not.

474 00:44:55 I'm making all the bedsheets myself,

475 00:44:57 so I won't finish with the big one for some time.

476 00:45:01 But the twin is comfortable,

477 00:45:04 and the pajamas were made on a Baltic handloom,

478 00:45:07 so you'll sleep well.

479 00:45:10 Thanks. I still don't quite get the three beds.

480 00:45:14 - Right. - Ricken's colleague told us

481 00:45:16 that switching out the beds as the child grows can wound that child.

482 00:45:20 Irreparably.

483 00:45:21 But if you provide said child with all of its beds upon birth,

484 00:45:26 you allow it to progress across the room at its own rate.

485 00:45:29 Got it. Yeah.

486 00:45:36 Yeah.

487 00:45:38 I think people really enjoyed you tonight, Mark.

488 00:45:42 Good.

489 00:45:44 All right, baby.

490 00:45:46 - You ready, baby? - Yeah.

491 00:45:47 - Let's go. - Sweet dreams.

492 00:45:48 Thanks.

00:45:51 MARK: Good night, milord.

00:45:53 DEVON: Good night, milady.

495 00:47:51 Hey.

496 00:47:53 Hey.

497 00:47:54 How long you been up?

498 00:47:56 A while.

499 00:48:00 There was a businessman in the yard last night.

500 00:48:04 - A businessman? - Yeah.

501 00:48:06 Entry-level or management?

502 00:48:08 I'm serious.

503 00:48:09 There was seriously a man in my yard last night?

504 00:48:11 Yeah.

505 00:48:13 Holy shit.

506 00:48:15 He, you know, looked at me weird, like he knew me.

507 00:48:19 Did the prowler invading my home make you feel seen?

508 00:48:21 So seen.

509 00:48:24 Well, there's a bar down the hill. It's probably just a stumbler.

510 00:48:28 Speaking of which, you still smell like a distillery.

511 00:48:31 I'm sorry, I just had to drown out the memory

512 00:48:35 of Mom and Dad switching out my beds when we were kids.

513 00:48:39 You've been sitting on that one.

514 00:49:32 Hello.

515 00:49:35 Okay. So, recycling was last night, Mrs. Selvig.

516 00:49:40 Tonight's garbage.

517 00:49:41 And you keep putting your bin on my side. So…

518 00:49:47 Yeah. Okay.

519 00:49:49 You know, I actually can't talk right now. I'm out at dinner. But…

520 00:49:54 No, by myself.

521 00:49:59 Pip's Bar and Grille.

522 00:50:02 Excuse me.

523 00:50:05 Hang up. Quickly.

524 00:50:12 I'm sorry, Mrs. Selvig. They've cooked the food, and it's here.

525 00:50:18 Hi, kids. What's for dinner?

526 00:50:26 I'm sorry. You don't get that reference.

527 00:50:31 Are you following me?

528 00:50:34 Your voice is different here.

529 00:50:37 Worse.

530 00:50:40 - Okay, who the fuck are you? - Petey.

531 00:50:43 My name is Petey. I'm from work.

532 00:50:47 Well, that's not plausible. Everyone in my department is…

533 00:50:51 Severed. Severed. I was.

534 00:50:56 Okay. Well, severance is pretty permanent.

535 00:50:58 Yeah. Bypassing the implant wasn't easy. I had help.

536 00:51:15 So, what, you were unhappy at work?

537 00:51:18 - And instead of lodging a complaint, you… - No.

538 00:51:21 I tried that first. So did you.

539 00:51:26 Right. Okay. So…

540 00:51:30 You've unsevered.

541 00:51:32 And now you, what, think they're after you or something?

542 00:51:41 Yeah.

543 00:51:45 “They” being Graner, who's probably out here right now.

544 00:51:49 Graner. Okay. Is that, like, a person you know or…

545 00:51:54 We both know him. We don't like him.

546 00:51:59 I see.

547 00:52:06 Nothing down there is what they say.

548 00:52:12 If something happens to me,

549 00:52:14 the things I know need to stay known.

550 00:52:20 I'd prefer it be by a friend.

551 00:52:28 So, we're friends?

552 00:52:32 I'm your best friend.

553 00:52:35 You're my very good friend.

554 00:53:12 Mark, sorry about the card.

555 00:53:15 I had to grab something, and I know it's not appropriate.

556 00:53:18 Though I'm sure you'd be a really fucking awesome niece.

557 00:53:23 We used to wonder what kind of men we were on the outside,

558 00:53:27 what choices we had made and why.

559 00:53:37 I used to think it would take a monster

560 00:53:39 to put someone in a place like that office.

561 00:53:43 Especially if the person was himself.

562 00:53:49 But we're not monsters, Mark. Not real ones.

563 00:53:55 If you don't wanna know what's going on down there, I won't force it.

564 00:54:02 But if you do, there's an address on the back of this card.

565 00:54:08 Go alone, and you'll find the beginning of a very long answer.

566 00:54:34 Mark, is that you?

567 00:54:37 Hi, Mrs. Selvig.

568 00:54:39 Will you color me embarrassed for the mix-up with the bins?

569 00:54:44 No, it's no problem.

570 00:54:46 How was dinner?

571 00:54:48 Fine. I'm just, you know, tired.

00:54:53 COBEL: You know, my mother was a Catholic.

00:54:56 COBEL: She used to say it takes the saints eight hours to bless a sleeping child.

00:55:02 MARK: I hope you aren't rushing the saints.

00:55:06 COBEL: Well, I'll give them ample time tonight.

00:55:11 MARK: Good night, Mrs. Selvig.

00:55:12 COBEL: Mark.

00:55:16 COBEL: You're good people.
