Transcript

1 00:00:10 Petey, are you okay?

2 00:00:17 Petey?

3 00:00:19 Yeah, I'm good. I just slipped. You should invest in a bath mat, maybe.

4 00:00:25 Yeah, okay. The robe is a gift from my brother-in-law.

5 00:00:29 I've never worn it or anything. Sorry, it's weird.

6 00:00:34 I have pillows. Do you need anything else?

7 00:00:37 Yeah, I want you to stop shitting on this awesome robe.

8 00:00:41 Well, you can keep it.

9 00:00:43 I will.

10 00:00:44 Hey. Are you sure nobody can see in any of these transoms?

11 00:00:49 Yeah.

12 00:00:50 And everything's locked upstairs.

13 00:00:53 Anybody live in that unit next door?

14 00:00:56 No, it's just Mrs. Selvig in the other direction.

15 00:00:58 The neighborhood never really filled up, so it's nice. Quiet.

16 00:01:06 Fortress of solitude.

17 00:01:08 I still think an occasional mixer wouldn't hurt anything.

18 00:01:11 I checked, and it's not expressly prohibited in the manual.

19 00:01:15 Yeah, I bet!

20 00:01:16 Dude, I pressed Cobel for an all-floor mixer last quarter.

21 00:01:19 She said you'll get one when you earn it, whatever that means.

22 00:01:22 -Cobel? -I can't imagine Dylan's 4%

23 00:01:25 on Sunset Park's gonna help with–

24 00:01:28 Petey?

25 00:01:31 You okay?

26 00:01:35 I'm sorry. Yeah.

27 00:01:39 With this sickness, I just– I get disoriented.

28 00:01:44 It's temporary.

29 00:01:47 What's Sunset Park?

30 00:01:52 I don't know.

31 00:04:13 It's like having two different lives suddenly stitched together.

32 00:04:17 But the relativity's fucked.

33 00:04:19 So, my first day at Lumon's as far back as my fifth birthday.

34 00:04:23 And with two pasts, it blurs the present too.

35 00:04:28 But they said it will get better.

36 00:04:33 Who's “they”?

37 00:04:37 “They” is a group of people that know severance is a blight on mankind.

38 00:04:41 And they're gonna do something about it.

39 00:04:45 The Whole Mind Collective?

40 00:04:47 The kids trolling for signatures downtown? No, not the fucking WMC.

41 00:04:53 Someone else.

42 00:04:55 All right. Well–

43 00:04:59 So, what do you want from me?

44 00:05:05 Don't you wanna know what you're doing down there?

45 00:05:12 Okay, look. You know, I'm not gonna unsever.

46 00:05:16 Well, I don't want you to unsever because that's not a word.

47 00:05:20 -Reintegration. -All right. Well, whatever.

48 00:05:23 You know, it hasn't been a blight for me.

49 00:05:26 It's helped me.

50 00:05:29 Okay. What if the cost of that help

51 00:05:34 is that you're murdering people eight hours a day

52 00:05:36 and you don't even know it?

53 00:05:38 Well, am I?

54 00:05:42 Look, I found a department. One they don't tell us about.

55 00:05:47 One where you don't get to leave.

56 00:05:51 Well, don't none of us get to leave?

57 00:05:53 No, I mean you really don't get to leave. As in, they're down there right now.

58 00:05:58 Well, what? Like, chained up, or–

59 00:06:03 What?

60 00:06:09 I'm not gonna talk about it in here.

61 00:06:12 I don't know if the monitors are bugged. Or if Irving's gonna walk in.

62 00:06:25 Petey, we're not at Lumon.

63 00:06:34 Then where the fuck is June?

64 00:06:47 I'm sorry, Mark.

65 00:06:58 Who's June?

66 00:07:02 June is my daughter. Greatest kid on Earth and a hell of a guitar player.

67 00:07:13 How happy are you that you asked me to stay here?

68 00:07:46 Oh, Mark.

69 00:07:50 Are you all right?

70 00:07:54 But what do you say, Natalie, to the woman who became pregnant at work

71 00:07:59 less than a month after her company went severed?

72 00:08:01 Well, first, I'd suggest she reveal her identity

73 00:08:03 if she wants an honest conversation

74 00:08:05 -about her experience. -How could she have that conversation

75 00:08:07 -when her workie was the one involved– -Okay, first of all, workie?

76 00:08:11 That, as I understand, is the preferred term among–

77 00:08:13 I think it's exactly the condescending verbiage that I'd expect

78 00:08:16 from a group trying to save people from their own choices.

79 00:08:18 Choices? Did her insie have a–

80 00:08:20 Insie? Where are you getting these terms?

81 00:08:22 Fine. Call it someone who's had their brain split in half–

82 00:08:25 That has nothing to do with what we do at Lumon

83 00:08:28 nor any severance procedure.

84 00:08:29 I understand you don't wanna answer my questions…

85 00:08:31 -I'm answering your questions. -…because it'll reveal that you are

86 00:08:33 -complicit in something totally immoral. -What's immoral is–

87 00:08:41 Tell me it's not true.

88 00:08:44 Well, I want to, but I can't. See?

89 00:08:48 …continuing through the greater basin,

90 00:08:50 probably into the afternoon, just as we predicted yesterday.

91 00:08:54 The good news is, those clouds should dissipate somewhere over the Ganz area,

92 00:08:59 leaving a clear, sunny day, for our friends in and around Kier.

93 00:09:03 That said, the cold's not letting up anywhere.

94 00:09:05 And those roads are going to remain icy throughout the week

95 00:09:08 and on into the weekend.

96 00:09:10 So wherever you're headed, please do commute with care.

97 00:09:20 Petey.

98 00:09:24 Wake up, Petey. Petey?

99 00:09:33 Hey.

100 00:09:35 It's morning. You are in my basement.

101 00:09:40 Right.

102 00:09:41 So I'm going to work like you said. You can stay here if you want.

103 00:09:47 I just wanna let you know,

104 00:09:50 I'm not gonna reintegrate, you know?

105 00:09:57 Okay.

106 00:09:59 I lost my wife a couple years ago in a car accident.

107 00:10:02 This is– It's helping me, you know?

108 00:10:06 -I'm sorry, Mark. -No, no, no. No.

109 00:10:10 At work…

110 00:10:14 you'd come in sometimes with red eyes.

111 00:10:20 We had a joke that you had an elevator allergy.

112 00:10:25 There was even a song for it.

113 00:10:29 But I always wondered.

114 00:10:32 You carry the hurt with you.

115 00:10:35 You feel it down there too. You just don't know what it is.

116 00:10:42 Okay.

117 00:10:44 Why don't you grab whatever you want up in the fridge?

118 00:10:47 I should be back around 6:00.

119 00:11:04 Hi!

120 00:11:06 -Hey. -Mark, I'm sorry for the racket!

121 00:11:10 I'm just deicing my stoop.

122 00:11:13 No worries. Thanks again for the cookies.

123 00:11:17 I'll bring by more!

124 00:11:20 Please.

125 00:11:55 -Mr. Scout, how are you doing? -Hey, Judd.

126 00:12:38 I did a thing. I deleted the scary numbers.

127 00:12:41 When?

128 00:12:42 -Yesterday. You were gone. -I was?

129 00:12:45 Oh, yeah. Dylan took over training in your stead to great success.

130 00:12:49 You look trim, Mark. I wonder if you were food poisoned.

131 00:12:53 Welcome back, boss. New photos come in?

132 00:12:55 Oh, good. You can finally get rid of those old ones.

133 00:13:02 You may as well skip it actually, 'cause I put in my resignation request.

134 00:13:06 -You did submit it? -I did.

135 00:13:09 It's good. It means you won't get sent to the break room anymore.

136 00:13:14 Hello, Refiners.

137 00:13:16 Hello, Mr. Milchick.

138 00:13:17 Mark, I spoke to your outie yesterday.

139 00:13:18 He sounded just shattered not to be at work.

140 00:13:21 But now that you're here,

141 00:13:22 care to read your first morning announcements as department head?

142 00:13:27 Sure.

143 00:13:28 Should be easier without me in the audience.

144 00:13:34 Mark used to find it funny to interrupt Petey's announcements.

145 00:13:37 With gas having.

146 00:13:40 Okay, quiet down, all. I'm Mark, your new announcements person.

147 00:13:50 Just a couple things here.

148 00:13:51 Why are you standing weird? Stand normal.

149 00:13:55 I'm– I'm standing great.

150 00:13:57 Are you uncomfortable? We could all look away?

151 00:14:00 Okay, there's been some garbage in the recycling.

152 00:14:03 Please, everybody, don't do that.

153 00:14:08 As a reminder, Post-it Notes are not to be put on faces.

154 00:14:12 They clog your outie's pores.

155 00:14:15 That one's about me. I do this beloved character, Sticky Head.

156 00:14:18 Also, please refrain from boasting about previously earned waffle parties?

157 00:14:22 Feeling attacked.

158 00:14:25 And lastly–

159 00:14:31 Well, I've never seen a resignation request get such a quick turnaround.

160 00:14:36 Do I have to finish out the day or can I skip out now?

161 00:14:44 Lastly, Helly's resignation request…

162 00:14:49 was denied.

163 00:14:53 Yeah, no, that can't be right.

164 00:14:55 My outie wouldn't do that.

165 00:15:01 You know, Petey used to say–

166 00:15:22 This is so fun.

167 00:15:25 Shall I, you know, tiptoe up and sneak to the door?

168 00:15:30 -He's at work, baby. It doesn't matter. -How do you know?

169 00:15:32 -Because his car's not here. -Maybe he played hooky.

170 00:15:34 Can you go do it? 'Cause I gotta pee.

171 00:15:36 Yes.

172 00:15:51 Against the door, or to the side?

173 00:15:54 I think either's really good.

174 00:15:58 -Do you think he'll be surprised? -I do.

175 00:16:00 My babe, I'm gonna put it off to the side.

176 00:16:03 Awesome.

177 00:16:14 -Perfect. -Good.

178 00:16:15 -I mean, it's perfect. -Yes.

179 00:16:24 He's gonna be so excited.

180 00:16:25 -Yeah. -I hope he comes home early.

181 00:16:27 He's not going to.

182 00:17:28 Hey. What's that? Sudoku?

183 00:17:31 It's nothing.

184 00:17:33 What were you drawing?

185 00:17:34 You getting back to work, in cubist form.

186 00:17:36 Kay, two things. How do you know what cubist form is?

187 00:17:40 And what the fuck are you wearing?

188 00:17:45 Oh, fuck.

189 00:18:55 No.

190 00:19:22 Yes?

191 00:19:29 What did he tell her after the announcement?

192 00:19:44 No, it's not so bad.

193 00:19:52 Just mildly aggressive.

194 00:19:58 Did you give her directed praise?

195 00:20:02 Uh-huh. Uh-huh.

196 00:20:05 I'm coming.

197 00:21:09 Hey, Helly?

198 00:21:11 Go away.

199 00:21:12 -Are you okay? -I'm fine.

200 00:21:14 I mean, it's been, like, 45 minutes.

201 00:21:21 I'm using the bathroom.

202 00:21:23 Okay. It's just– It has been a while.

203 00:21:27 -I'm fine, Mark. -I think I need to come in.

204 00:21:30 -That's– Okay? -No!

205 00:21:33 I am going to come in, so get ready.

206 00:21:36 Do the things you need to do 'cause I'm comin' in.

207 00:21:38 No!

208 00:21:39 -Okay, here I come. I'm sorry. -Mark, no! I'm not decent!

209 00:21:41 -Do– Jesus. -I'm sorry. I'm–

210 00:21:46 Writing the note directly on your skin.

211 00:21:48 Well, unfortunately, the detectors can pick up lettering anywhere.

212 00:21:51 Does this look like lettering to you?

213 00:21:53 Well, if you put your arms together.

214 00:21:58 Not bad.

215 00:22:01 I thought you were starting to, like, be okay here.

216 00:22:04 What, 'cause I did the numbers thing?

217 00:22:06 Well, you got a win. You know, a lot of people find joy in that.

218 00:22:09 It literally causes fear.

219 00:22:11 That's just one subset of numbers. The others are more comforting–

220 00:22:14 Mark, I don't wanna work here with you.

221 00:22:16 So don't burst into the bathroom with your pathetic boss voice on

222 00:22:19 and try to convince me that I do.

223 00:22:24 Okay, I'll give you five minutes to scrub your arms.

224 00:22:26 Or what?

225 00:22:29 Do you want Graner to use the bad soap?

226 00:22:33 There's bad soap?

227 00:22:39 Thanks, boss.

228 00:22:42 Yeah, I fucking love working here.

229 00:22:44 -Mark. -Irv.

230 00:22:45 I was listening at the door. I heard it all.

231 00:22:47 -Okay. -I am troubled by you having

232 00:22:49 high-stress exchanges like that so fresh off your food poisoning.

233 00:22:53 It's fine.

234 00:22:54 The loathing with which she spoke to you.

235 00:22:57 Well, acclimating takes time.

236 00:22:58 And guidance.

237 00:23:01 What's on your mind, Irving?

238 00:23:05 Dylan was going on all yesterday about incentives,

239 00:23:08 pencil erasers and waffle parties, as though that's why we're here.

240 00:23:12 That's not why we're here.

241 00:23:15 If it's a deeper meaning she craves, she should see the perpetuity wing.

242 00:23:21 She can read about all that stuff in the handbook.

243 00:23:23 You know it's different to be there. To see it.

244 00:23:29 It just seems premature. I mean, that place is a lot.

245 00:23:31 Correct. That place is everything.

246 00:23:41 How'd the check go?

247 00:23:42 There was a package left at his door from someone. Open it, would you?

248 00:23:49 -Oh, God. -Is this the brother-in-law?

249 00:23:51 Ricken. His fifth book.

250 00:23:57 “Chapter 12: On Learning to Be Emotionally Nude in Front of My Wife.”

251 00:24:01 Check it for messages, just to be safe.

252 00:24:04 Mark.

253 00:24:07 -Can I help you? -Does she have a moment?

254 00:24:09 Did you fill out an official request for supervisory interaction?

255 00:24:14 -No, I– -It's fine. Come in.

256 00:24:16 Sorry. I can fill out the form.

257 00:24:19 What is it?

258 00:24:23 Get the door.

259 00:24:28 Irving thought we should take Helly to the perpetuity wing today.

260 00:24:31 Well, it's a good thing I made Irving department chief.

261 00:24:34 Sorry. I think I should take Helly and the team to the perpetuity wing.

262 00:24:40 And have you filled out a common-space reservation slip?

263 00:24:46 -No, I– -Mark.

264 00:24:48 I'm sorry. I've just been– I don't know.

265 00:24:52 It's been weird since Petey left.

266 00:24:56 I mean, you know, he was– He set the tone.

267 00:25:02 If Petey were the tone-setter you're lionizing him as,

268 00:25:07 he'd still be here.

269 00:25:12 What does that mean?

270 00:25:14 Are you gonna make me throw my mug at you?

271 00:25:19 I– Why would you–

272 00:25:22 -Get MDR to its numbers. -Okay.

273 00:25:28 Mark?

274 00:25:31 What I just did was something I knew that you could handle and grow from.

275 00:25:37 It was very painful for me.

276 00:25:41 I hope that you'll let it help you.

277 00:25:50 Open or closed?

278 00:25:58 Both.

279 00:26:03 I'll just–

280 00:26:09 My delts are embarrassingly good today. My outie does muscle shows for sure.

281 00:26:15 If your outie did muscle shows, you wouldn't have to work here.

282 00:26:17 I'm sorry, do you know how much muscle shows pay?

283 00:26:19 No, none of us can know that.

284 00:26:21 I imagine it's a tiered system.

285 00:26:23 Perhaps there are monetary prizes for gold, silver and bronze.

286 00:26:27 No. My guess is that they do it piecemeal per muscle. So…

287 00:26:31 -No, I don't think so. -Best delt, 30 bucks.

288 00:26:34 Best ab, 20 bucks. Biceps are a little flashier, 75 bucks.

289 00:26:38 I would think lats carry a high value.

290 00:26:39 They're considered very attractive in muscle-building circles.

291 00:26:42 And in society at large.

292 00:26:44 Lats are bullshit, dude–

293 00:26:46 -The center of a good physique. -You are alone on this one, Irv…

294 00:26:49 -You've never noticed my lats? -…I assure you. Never once.

295 00:26:51 You don't understand why my posture's ramrod straight. You see how…

296 00:27:04 Thirsty?

297 00:27:09 Hey, just in case you find this relevant for some reason,

298 00:27:12 the code detectors can read messages hidden inside the body as well.

299 00:27:20 Also, when that happens, it's Milchick's job to extract the message from you.

300 00:27:26 And when he asks how long ago you ingested it,

301 00:27:31 I really can't recommend honesty enough.

302 00:27:36 It's easier for you both if he knows which end to start from.

303 00:27:50 Another good try though.

304 00:27:56 Go shut down your workstation. We're taking a trip.

305 00:27:58 The power is in your calves.

306 00:28:00 …and it's always been that way. I can tell you that right now, young boy.

307 00:28:05 All eight CEOs have been of the Eagan lineage.

308 00:28:07 A line dating back to the founder.

309 00:28:09 I have a mnemonic poem to help you remember their names.

310 00:28:12 I authored it myself, and of course, it falls outside corporate canon,

311 00:28:16 and it's poetically imperfect, to be sure.

312 00:28:18 There's a slant rhyme in the second verse. of “Ambrose” to “ban those,”

313 00:28:22 which was necessary to further the narrative, but regrettable.

314 00:28:26 Ambrose is sometimes unfairly maligned as a black sheep in the annals of the family.

315 00:28:30 What's this?

316 00:28:31 And it certainly wasn't my intent to slight him further,

317 00:28:34 -but I think you'll find… -“Eagan bingo”?

318 00:28:37 Hey. Eagan bingo.

319 00:28:38 -We shouldn't, right? This– -…for when we arrive…

320 00:28:42 Hey, what the hell is Eagan bingo?

321 00:28:44 It's how you don't die of boredom in the perpetuity wing.

322 00:28:46 And come on, it'll be an excellent opportunity

323 00:28:48 for everyone except Irv to bond.

324 00:29:02 Optics and Design.

325 00:29:04 Macrodata Refinement.

326 00:29:08 Burt.

327 00:29:09 Hi.

328 00:29:11 I trust that your session was good.

329 00:29:13 Great, very restorative.

330 00:29:15 Wa– You two know each other?

331 00:29:16 We were just admiring some Lumon artwork together, very briefly.

332 00:29:21 Remember, we'll have those new handbook totes soon.

333 00:29:24 So exciting.

334 00:29:25 Thanks for the tip. You got business, or you out for a stroll?

335 00:29:28 -Dylan. -What? I think you guys are cool,

336 00:29:30 and I'm just wondering what you're up to. It's rare seeing you out of your hole.

337 00:29:34 Egg drop challenge in the team-building space.

338 00:29:38 Tight department like us gotta keep our synergy up.

339 00:29:40 Egg drop challenge. You buy this fucking shit?

340 00:29:43 -And what are you guys doing? -Felicia.

341 00:29:44 Perpetuity wing visit. This is Helly, our new refiner.

342 00:29:48 -This is– -Welcome, Helly.

343 00:29:50 Well, we should get back. Can't leave the nest empty.

344 00:29:56 Good to see you, O&D.

345 00:30:00 Those eggs look like shit.

346 00:30:07 Irving, come on.

347 00:30:16 Seth?

348 00:30:23 Natalie.

349 00:30:24 Harmony, hello.

350 00:30:27 I wasn't expecting– Is this about Helena?

351 00:30:31 No, this is about Peter Kilmer.

352 00:30:33 And I should tell you that the Board is joining us.

353 00:31:03 The Board would like you to speak first.

354 00:31:05 Oh, yes. Of course.

355 00:31:07 Salutations.

356 00:31:15 So the search for Kilmer continues.

357 00:31:24 I will say this.

358 00:31:26 Not to be alarmist, but prior to his departure,

359 00:31:29 there were some troubling signs of possible… reintegration.

360 00:31:47 Okay.

361 00:31:48 So, the Board is conveying pretty strongly

362 00:31:52 that the severance procedure is provenly irreversible.

363 00:31:56 Yes–

364 00:31:57 And that this knowledge should be a given for a person managing a severed floor.

365 00:32:01 Yes, of course.

366 00:32:02 While, of course, getting MDR to their projected numbers

367 00:32:05 by the quarterly deadline in three weeks.

368 00:32:07 Yes, of course.

369 00:32:10 We are quickly rekindling our yield down here with our nimble new refiner.

370 00:32:15 -And for what it's worth, I'd like– -The Board has concluded the call.

371 00:32:21 Yes, okay. Thank you.

372 00:32:26 -And may I ask– -Goodbye, Harmony.

373 00:32:34 There's seriously a two-person department? Like, they only ever see each other?

374 00:32:37 For the most part. It's lonely, I suspect.

375 00:32:41 And unnatural. Perverse.

376 00:32:43 O&D is nice.

377 00:32:44 No, they're not. Nor do they share our values.

378 00:32:47 Kier sorted the departments by virtue.

379 00:32:49 Macrodats are clever and true, while O&D's more cruelty-centered.

380 00:32:53 How many departments are there?

381 00:32:54 -Probably 30. -Around five.

382 00:32:55 No one's quite sure.

383 00:32:57 O&D tried a violent coup on the others decades ago,

384 00:32:59 and that's why they reduced them down to two.

385 00:33:01 And that's why they keep us all so far apart now.

386 00:33:03 That's an absolute fiction.

387 00:33:05 Did they ever kill anyone?

388 00:33:06 Nope. There was no coup. No one killed anyone.

389 00:33:09 Then why don't we ever hang out?

390 00:33:12 I mean, I'm 99% sure there was no coup.

391 00:33:17 If they come back and attack us, I think we should kill Mark.

392 00:33:20 -Oh, yeah? -Yeah.

393 00:33:21 So they think we're crazy with nothing to lose.

394 00:33:23 Smart. That's smart.

395 00:33:25 Like, I'm imagining them rounding a corner, and we're all blood-soaked,

396 00:33:28 and I'm wearing your face, and they're like, “Whose face is that?”

397 00:33:31 And I'm like, “The last person who fucked with us.”

398 00:33:36 And that's just feeling like a really powerful image to me.

399 00:33:38 Just– Seems like they'd recognize my face.

400 00:33:42 Maybe if you wore it inside out?

401 00:33:53 We're here.

402 00:34:10 “Come now, children of my industry,

403 00:34:13 and know the children of my blood.”

404 00:34:19 Whoa.

405 00:34:21 That's Jame Eagan. Current CEO. Remarkable man.

406 00:34:28 Handsome too. See those brows?

407 00:34:54 All the center displays are for a past Eagan CEO.

408 00:34:59 But the whole back part is Kier.

409 00:35:25 I know that death is near upon me,

410 00:35:28 because people have begun to ask what I see as my life's great achievement.

411 00:35:35 They wish to know how they should remember me as I rot.

412 00:35:41 In my life, I have identified four components, which I call tempers,

413 00:35:48 from which are derived every human soul.

414 00:35:52 Woe. Frolic. Dread. Malice.

415 00:35:59 Each man's character is defined by the precise ratio

416 00:36:04 that resides in him.

417 00:36:07 I walked into the cave of my own mind, and there I tamed them.

418 00:36:12 Should you tame the tempers as I did mine,

419 00:36:17 then the world shall become but your appendage.

420 00:36:21 It is this great and consecrated power

421 00:36:25 that I hope to pass on to all of you, my children.

00:36:32 MYRTLE: I think that to be an Eagan, either a true Eagan or anyone working in this Lumon family, what you are is the keeper of an ethos, a compact of values that we have long held as precious, and which I do believe will one day save this world.

427 00:36:51 And that ethos goes all the way back

428 00:36:54 -through my blood… -Look, you got one.

429 00:36:56 …to where we all started, with Kier.

430 00:36:58 -It's okay if you cry. -When I was a girl,

431 00:37:01 my father would make me whisper…

432 00:37:03 She was five CEOs ago.

00:37:07 IRVING: They'd never had a woman before. And she told her father at age seven, she was going to be the first.

435 00:37:14 Vision. Verve.

436 00:37:16 -Isn't that lovely? -Wit.

437 00:37:17 -It's beautiful. -Cheer.

438 00:37:19 It almost makes me wish I remembered my own childhood.

439 00:37:22 Nimbleness. Probity. Wiles.

440 00:37:28 It's an unnatural state for a person to have no history.

441 00:37:34 History makes us someone. Gives us a context. A shape.

442 00:37:40 But waking up on that table, I was shapeless.

443 00:37:47 But then I learned that I work for a company

444 00:37:52 that has been actively caring for mankind since 1866.

00:37:59 IRVING: Look. Each of these is a real smile from someone on the outside. Someone Lumon Industries has helped. And they rotate these through. The true number of smiles may well be in the millions.

00:38:18 HELLY: So what are we, like, a dental company?

00:38:20 IRVING: No.

452 00:38:21 My point is you're part of a history now.

453 00:38:24 -A noble one. -And that's so much more mea–

454 00:38:27 They update the mouth wall?

455 00:38:28 It's not called the “mouth wall.”

456 00:38:31 Damn, they took down the chick I like.

457 00:38:34 -Are you guys ready to go? -We just got here.

458 00:38:38 She hasn't even seen the Kier part yet.

459 00:38:44 Gerhardt.

460 00:39:00 -Jesus. -No. Kier.

461 00:39:03 It's his house?

462 00:39:05 A perfect replica.

463 00:39:07 Pretty cool, huh?

464 00:39:09 Yeah, pretty cool.

465 00:39:40 The bedroom of Kier, just as he might have left it.

466 00:39:49 Well, this is thorough.

467 00:39:51 I hate this place. It smells like 19th century ass.

468 00:39:55 Stop treating this like some kind of beer party.

469 00:39:59 That's not fair. Up till now, I've been reverent as shit.

470 00:40:03 -Mark. -Yeah?

471 00:40:06 Were you about to… bed sit?

472 00:40:10 No. Nuh-uh.

473 00:40:15 What's that in your pocket, Mark?

474 00:40:20 I–

475 00:40:22 Oh, God, Mark. Still?

476 00:40:27 It's… for fun.

477 00:40:29 It's the perpetuity wing.

478 00:40:31 It's the Eagans.

479 00:40:33 It's the living soul of Lumon and everything she stands for,

480 00:40:38 not a bingo match.

481 00:40:39 Look, Kier said, “Keep a merry humor ever in your heart.”

482 00:40:44 Did you give one to the trainee?

483 00:40:47 Of course, you did.

484 00:40:49 She's starved for meaning here.

485 00:40:52 So, of course, you'd pervert our founder's message

486 00:40:54 with jokes and impiety.

487 00:40:57 That's definitely what she needs from her department chief.

488 00:41:01 Hey, I didn't want to be department chief.

489 00:41:03 I didn't ask for Petey to disappear and for–

490 00:41:10 Helly?

491 00:41:13 Uh-oh.

492 00:41:15 Helly?

493 00:41:17 Shit.

494 00:41:47 Helly!

495 00:41:52 This is… Jesus.

496 00:42:15 Helly!

497 00:42:30 Helly!

498 00:42:36 Helly!

499 00:42:40 No!

500 00:42:43 Goddamn it, Helly.

501 00:42:57 This way, please, Helly R.

502 00:43:39 On you go.

503 00:44:14 I'm truly sorry to see you here, Helly.

504 00:44:27 I hoped you'd just settle in.

505 00:44:32 I know Mark's been trying so hard to get you to feel happy.

506 00:44:43 Look, you seem like a smart person. But don't you see how fucked up this is?

507 00:44:49 -You can't keep– -Not right now, Helly.

508 00:44:53 Sit. Please.

509 00:45:11 Hands on the table, please.

510 00:45:52 I'm bringing up the compunction statement for Helly R.

511 00:46:01 What is this?

512 00:46:06 Read it.

513 00:46:10 I don't want to.

514 00:46:13 No. Do.

515 00:46:21 “Forgive me for the harm I have caused this world.

516 00:46:26 None may atone for my actions but me,

517 00:46:29 and only in me shall their stain live on.

518 00:46:33 I am thankful to have been caught,

519 00:46:36 my fall cut short by those with wizened hands.

520 00:46:39 All I can be is sorry, and that is all I am.”

521 00:46:45 I'm afraid you don't mean it.

522 00:46:49 Excuse me?

523 00:46:52 Again, please.

524 00:46:56 “Forgive me for the harm I have caused this world.

525 00:47:00 None may atone for my actions but me,

526 00:47:04 and only in me shall their stain live on.

527 00:47:07 I am thankful to have been caught,

528 00:47:10 my fall cut short by those with wizened hands.

529 00:47:14 All I can be is sorry, and that is all I am.”

530 00:47:23 Again.

531 00:47:27 Really?

532 00:47:33 Fun day.

533 00:47:36 See you tomorrow.

534 00:47:39 Yeah.

535 00:47:42 Do you want me to get these?

536 00:47:44 Yeah, go ahead.

537 00:50:02 I haven't any tokens. I can't eat with no tokens.

538 00:50:13 Hey!

539 00:50:15 I need tokens so I can eat!

540 00:50:27 Oh, my God.

541 00:51:34 Petey?

542 00:51:41 Petey?

543 00:53:05 All right now. Take it slow.

544 00:53:11 Did you happen to see which direction he came from?

545 00:53:15 I'm just gonna grab the stretcher. I'll be right back.

546 00:53:18 Can you get an ID on this guy?

547 00:53:23 I guess he's from nearby. He came in with a robe on. That was it.

548 00:53:38 He's down. He's down.

549 00:53:39 Sir. Sir, sir, sir. Can you hear me?

550 00:53:42 You got that? Just stand back.

551 00:53:43 Yeah, dispatch, I got a 10-53 at a convenience store on 42nd.

552 00:53:48 Call that in, please.

553 00:53:51 -Is he breathing? -No, he's not breathing, man.

554 00:53:53 Yeah, yeah, yeah. Give me the bpm.

555 00:53:56 -You okay? You okay? -Get him on the board.
