00:00:17 MARK: What?

00:00:18 COBEL: I said, “Are you all right?” MARK: Yeah, I'm fine.

00:00:22 COBEL: Maybe you should talk to your sister. It's an important decision.

00:00:26 MARK: My sister? COBEL: Yes.

00:00:30 COBEL: Mark? MARK: Yeah.

00:00:31 COBEL: Are you sure you're okay?

00:00:34 MARK: Yes. I'm sorry, I just… I got a little woozy and then… I'm gonna stop by the bathroom.

00:00:42 COBEL: Uh-uh. I think it's the other way.

00:00:49 MARK: Right.

00:01:36 I don't know if I hate senators or congressmen more.

12 00:01:41 How many of those have you had?

13 00:01:43 Just this one.

14 00:01:44 Good. We need you nimble. We gotta get down there. You're on in 20.

15 00:01:48 I was on with the Board earlier. They're really grateful for this.

16 00:01:52 - Gabby. - Natalie, hello.

17 00:01:55 Hi.

18 00:01:57 Gabby, this is Helena Eagan.

19 00:02:01 My gosh. Helena, so good to finally meet you.

20 00:02:08 Likewise.

21 00:04:13 This better be working, assholes.

22 00:04:34 Where am I?

23 00:04:36 Where am I?

24 00:04:46 Mark. You okay, milady?

25 00:04:50 So Rebeck smells weird.

26 00:04:52 Rebeck smells weird?

27 00:04:54 Yeah, she was making chewing noises, but she was not chewing.

28 00:04:57 Just be prepared 'cause you might have to share a book with her.

29 00:05:00 A book, right.

30 00:05:02 The one you forgot to bring even though I did remind you.

31 00:05:04 Right. Yeah, I'm sure… Sorry.

32 00:05:06 That's okay.

33 00:05:08 Okay.

34 00:05:11 Okay.

35 00:05:12 How's our baby?

36 00:05:15 Our… I'm gonna assume you mean that in the “it takes a village” sense.

37 00:05:19 And she's good. She's hungry.

38 00:05:21 I wanna have the life change talk. I just need to pump before I die.

39 00:05:25 - I'll be really fast. Okay. - Okay.

40 00:06:12 Hey. Hi. Hi.

41 00:06:26 “Radar.”

42 00:06:28 What's the thesis?

43 00:06:30 I agree. It's very confused.

44 00:06:32 Mark, hello.

45 00:06:36 Hey, guys. What's up?

46 00:06:37 - Patton, no. - Mark,

47 00:06:39 we were just discussing whether it might have been a wiser move

48 00:06:41 for your sister to put off introducing the child until after tonight's event.

49 00:06:45 Mark, you don't have to weigh in on that.

50 00:06:47 - Obviously the child is an absolute angel. - Wait… That's my sister? With the baby?

51 00:06:51 Exactly, it's his sister.

52 00:06:53 - Excuse me. - Sure.

53 00:06:57 Well, that was awkward.

54 00:07:00 Okay, so my sister has the baby. And Cobel is here?

55 00:07:08 I've been asked to share my book with you.

56 00:07:11 So I've heard. Rebecca?

57 00:07:13 Rebeck. I have small eyes, so I have to read pretty close.

58 00:07:16 Okay. Well, I'm…

59 00:07:17 I'm sure that'll be fine. If you'll excuse me?

00:07:19 REBECK: And I have some sores on the back of my head from my bird.

61 00:07:22 - You might see them. - Okay.

62 00:07:25 Hey.

63 00:07:27 Hello, Mark.

64 00:07:29 I pumped, so it's Miller time. Okay, so life change. What's happening?

65 00:07:36 We're, this is gonna sound weird…

66 00:07:41 We're close, you and I?

67 00:07:44 What do you… What's going on?

68 00:07:47 Can we talk privately?

69 00:07:48 - I just have to… - Okay, my dearest ones,

70 00:07:51 we are nearing that hour,

71 00:07:52 so if you'd all peacefully waft in the living room…

72 00:07:55 Okay. Let's talk at the first reflection break.

73 00:07:57 - Okay? - Okay.

74 00:08:31 You just don't realize how much kids are gonna change your life.

75 00:08:34 But they do.

76 00:08:36 - How many kids do you have? - Just gave birth to my third.

77 00:08:39 I should've stopped at two.

78 00:08:41 - Hey, there you are. - Hey.

79 00:08:43 - Angelo, great to see you. - You too.

80 00:08:45 Helena, this is my husband, Angelo Arteta.

81 00:08:49 Helena, nice to meet you.

82 00:08:51 I've gotta hop backstage.

83 00:08:52 - I'll see you in a second. - Okay.

84 00:08:54 Lovely to see you, Natalie.

85 00:08:57 - You okay? - She couldn't find the bottle.

86 00:09:01 Wow. Three kids.

87 00:09:02 Couldn't have done it without a little help.

88 00:09:05 I mean, the idea that people would want to outlaw severance.

89 00:09:11 I know.

90 00:09:31 The photo display is very moving.

91 00:09:34 I already knew how I'd be voting, but I think…

92 00:09:38 Well, seeing that and seeing you and hearing what you have to say,

93 00:09:42 all of this could really make a difference.

94 00:09:46 I hope so.

95 00:09:48 Let's change some minds.

96 00:09:51 Well, I'm certainly gonna try.

97 00:09:53 Thank you.

98 00:09:55 And please thank your father if you see him.

99 00:10:02 I will.

100 00:10:15 Mark. Come here.

101 00:10:19 Saved us a seat.

102 00:10:24 I just have to find my glasses.

103 00:10:28 Mark, can you just hold that

104 00:10:30 - for a second? - Yeah.

105 00:10:40 Oh, my God.

106 00:10:43 Sorry, you can't unring

107 00:10:46 the bell-ringing app apparently.

108 00:10:52 Okay. Thank you all for being here.

109 00:10:56 Before we start, there is one person

110 00:10:58 that I would like to thank first and foremost.

111 00:11:01 Family is both my bedrock and my inspiration.

112 00:11:06 So I dedicate the reading to my firstborn daughter,

113 00:11:10 who is here tonight.

114 00:11:11 Eleanor, I love you.

115 00:11:20 My brother-in-law.

116 00:11:22 And with that… I begin.

117 00:11:30 “It's said that as a child,

118 00:11:31 Wolfgang Mozart killed another boy by slamming his head in a piano.

119 00:11:38 Don't worry.

120 00:11:39 My research for this book has proven the claim untrue.

121 00:11:43 As your heart rate settles though,

122 00:11:45 - “consider the power an author…” - Mark.

123 00:11:48 Can I look at her book too?

124 00:11:50 I can crane.

125 00:11:52 - “…can hold over a reader…” - Sure.

126 00:11:54 “…heretofore called 'you.'

127 00:11:58 But what, indeed, is 'you'?”

128 00:12:02 Good luck tonight.

129 00:12:04 It was great to meet you, Helena.

130 00:12:07 “How can 'you' mean different things

131 00:12:09 to millions of readers around a vast Earth?

132 00:12:13 “And perhaps, most importantly, who are you?”

133 00:13:50 “All creatures, from the leaping cat

134 00:13:53 to the cowering shrew,

135 00:13:54 think of themselves as 'you, ' a logical center for the universe.

136 00:14:00 Yet the cat eats the shrew, and we, like Schrödinger,

137 00:14:04 “live on to wonder what it means.”

138 00:14:08 End of chapter.

139 00:14:14 Let's all take a

140 00:14:16 seven-minute reflection break and then come back.

141 00:14:20 Balf. Prepare the neti pot.

142 00:14:23 It was transformative.

143 00:14:25 I'm gonna have to change my name again.

144 00:14:27 What a wordsmith. He seemed to have a little something in his throat.

145 00:14:31 - Oh, yeah. - Hey.

146 00:14:33 I'm gonna see if she'll have more bottle.

147 00:14:34 Give me a couple of minutes, then meet me in the baby room?

148 00:14:36 - Okay. - Okay.

149 00:14:42 Excuse me.

150 00:14:54 Mr. Hale… Ricken?

151 00:14:57 I don't know why my voice shakes like that.

152 00:14:59 I sound like a sad old hamburger waiter

153 00:15:03 prattling on about sauces.

154 00:15:05 “Hamburger waiter.” What the fuck is that?

155 00:15:07 Jesus, why do I ever open my buffoon mouth?

156 00:15:10 It's going great.

157 00:15:11 - I mean, the book is brilliant, and… - Okay, Mark.

158 00:15:14 Thank you, but you don't have to say that.

159 00:15:16 I'm well aware of how I come across to you.

160 00:15:18 What? No, I mean it.

161 00:15:20 The… Your book, it… It opened up the world for me.

162 00:15:25 Mark, are you okay?

163 00:15:26 Yes. This book changed my whole life.

164 00:15:31 You actually read it?

165 00:15:33 Ricken, are we friends?

166 00:15:38 Look, I know I sometimes make you feel “less than”

167 00:15:40 for having had the procedure.

168 00:15:43 And I regret that.

169 00:15:44 You had to deal with Gemma's passing in a way that was best for you.

170 00:15:49 You know, I was scrolling through old pictures this morning,

171 00:15:52 and I found one of the four of us on the crest hike.

172 00:15:56 - You remember the funny bees? - Do you have that on you? The picture?

173 00:16:00 Yeah, sure. I should.

174 00:16:04 - Ricken. The neti pot is warm. - Thank you, Balf.

175 00:16:07 Mark, I need to flush my sinuses.

176 00:16:09 But thank you. You have no idea how much this has meant to me.

177 00:16:24 Mark, I was worried about you.

178 00:16:26 I'm fine. Thanks.

179 00:16:27 I'm just going to check on my sister.

180 00:16:31 When you hugged me before, you suddenly became tense. What was that?

181 00:16:37 I didn't know I did.

182 00:16:38 Well, you did. You're tense now.

183 00:16:41 Yeah, sorry, it's just parties.

184 00:16:44 Did you mean what you said before?

185 00:16:47 About your plans.

186 00:16:51 Of course.

187 00:16:53 Tell me more.

188 00:16:59 You know, I'm so sorry. I'm just… I'm on uncle duty for my sister.

189 00:17:02 So I'll be right back.

190 00:17:04 - Okay? - Okay.

191 00:17:06 Okay. Thanks, Ms. Cobel.

192 00:17:57 - I know. Hey, there you are. - Hey, I really need to talk to you.

193 00:18:00 No, I know. I just have to deal with her. She's having a meltdown.

194 00:18:02 But just meet me in there, okay?

195 00:18:04 - Okay, I'll just… Wait. Okay. - I promise I'll be back.

196 00:18:14 Thank God, Mrs. Selvig. Hi.

197 00:18:16 Can you take her for a sec while I talk to Mark?

198 00:18:18 - Of course, love. - Thank you.

199 00:18:20 - Is Mark all right? - Yeah, he's fine.

200 00:18:22 Thank you, you're an angel.

201 00:18:35 Okay… I'm all yours.

202 00:18:50 My name is Helena, and I'm an Eagan.

203 00:18:55 So one of the things you learn growing up as an Eagan

204 00:18:57 is that the workers are our family.

205 00:18:59 And I remember being confused about that as a kid,

206 00:19:01 because I thought that meant

207 00:19:02 I had a few hundred thousand literal brothers and sisters

208 00:19:05 scattered around the world.

209 00:19:07 Oh, my God.

210 00:19:09 But as I grew older, I learned that it's about shared ideals.

211 00:19:13 My dad used to make me recite the nine core principles

212 00:19:16 before bed every night,

213 00:19:17 which I can't say I always did happily. Sorry, Dad.

214 00:19:20 But those are now the values that I share with everyone who works at Lumon,

215 00:19:25 and that's what makes them my family.

216 00:19:27 And I would never ever ask them to do anything

217 00:19:30 that I'm not willing or excited to do myself.

218 00:19:33 Look, my dad would love for me to sit here

219 00:19:36 and say that I'm taking this job out of loyalty

220 00:19:39 and that it was the spirit of pure Eagan calling me to service.

221 00:19:44 But I took a severed job because it sounds freaking awesome.

222 00:19:50 So, no, I don't think severance divides us.

223 00:19:53 I think it brings us together.

224 00:20:14 Greetings.

225 00:20:15 - I'm not here right now. - Goddamn it, Milchick!

226 00:22:11 Helena.

227 00:22:12 She's in here, sir.

228 00:22:24 Helena.

229 00:22:28 You look so nice.

230 00:22:32 Like a film.

231 00:22:36 Thank you.

232 00:22:41 Are you…

233 00:22:44 Are you still in pain?

234 00:22:48 I'm not.

235 00:22:50 Not anymore.

236 00:22:58 I cried in my bed when they told me what she tried to do to you.

237 00:23:03 What that innie tried to do. I…

238 00:23:09 Thank you for going through with this.

239 00:23:13 The Grandfather would cherish what you've done.

240 00:23:17 And one day you will sit with me at my revolving.

241 00:23:25 Are you feeling well?

242 00:23:27 Yeah.

243 00:23:29 I think, I think the drink just hit me a little bit.

244 00:23:35 You'll be all right for the speech?

245 00:23:39 For my speech. Yeah. Of course.

246 00:23:44 Do you remember when I brought home the first chip to show you?

247 00:23:50 The prototype.

248 00:23:53 It had the blue and green lights back then.

249 00:23:58 Yeah.

250 00:24:00 I remember you said to me, “It's so pretty, Daddy.”

251 00:24:06 “Everybody in the whole world should get one.”

252 00:24:11 They will.

253 00:24:15 Because of you.

254 00:24:20 They'll all be Kier's children.

255 00:24:25 Mr. Eagan. Helena. It's time to head to stage.

256 00:24:54 Forgive me for the harm I've caused this world.

257 00:25:00 None may atone for my actions… but me.

258 00:25:09 And only in me shall their stain live on.

259 00:25:17 All I can be is sorry.

260 00:25:20 And that is all I am.

261 00:27:06 You swear you're not fucking with me?

262 00:27:09 I swear.

263 00:27:11 This is so insane.

264 00:27:13 They need to send people down to check every inch of that place.

265 00:27:16 Like, inspectors or whatever. Is that a thing? Inspectors?

266 00:27:19 Yeah. There are inspectors.

267 00:27:22 Mark has b… I mean, out here,

268 00:27:23 you have been trying to figure out what Lumon does. What you do.

269 00:27:27 Okay.

270 00:27:31 I just…

271 00:27:34 I just want to know why.

272 00:27:38 Why he put me in there.

273 00:27:46 He lost his wife.

274 00:27:47 You lost your wife. A little before you started at Lumon.

275 00:27:52 Gemma.

276 00:27:55 It was a car accident, and, at first, you tried to keep teaching.

277 00:28:01 I was a teacher?

278 00:28:03 A professor. Of history.

279 00:28:06 You tried to go back to teaching three weeks after she died,

280 00:28:09 and it was a disaster.

281 00:28:14 She was just still in your veins, you know?

282 00:28:17 Making everything hurt.

283 00:28:20 Which is why I guess you thought the severed job would…

284 00:28:27 He hoped you'd be spared from the pain.

285 00:28:38 It's a nice name. Gemma.

286 00:28:43 Yeah.

287 00:28:46 We were all really close. It was great.

288 00:28:50 She was wonderful.

289 00:28:53 She made you wonderful.

290 00:29:43 They told me not to talk to you.

291 00:29:44 The goddamn OTC's been triggered! Mark S. Is his fucking innie!

292 00:29:49 What? That's not possible.

293 00:29:52 It's Dylan. They've been plotting this all along.

294 00:29:55 Helly's at the gala.

295 00:29:56 I'll take care of Helly. I'll fix it like I fix everything.

296 00:30:01 Get to the security office, and shut it off now!

297 00:30:04 Shit!

298 00:30:25 Goddamn it! Dylan!

299 00:30:27 Dylan!

300 00:30:29 I know you're in there, Dylan. Open the door!

301 00:30:31 Fuck you, Mr. Milchick!

302 00:30:34 Dylan! Dylan!

303 00:30:39 Ricken knows a lot of high-end journalists in New York.

304 00:30:41 And you think that's better than the police?

305 00:30:43 Well, Lumon has their hands in so many pies.

306 00:30:45 Sorry, do you understand metaphor?

307 00:30:47 Yeah, hands in pies. I get it.

308 00:30:49 I think we have to be really careful about who we talk to.

309 00:30:51 - Okay. - How much time do you have?

310 00:30:53 I don't know. Maybe an hour?

311 00:30:55 Right. Because once your bosses find out…

312 00:30:57 Jesus, I totally forgot. Cobel! Why is Cobel here?

313 00:31:01 What?

314 00:31:02 My boss from Lumon. Ms. Cobel. She's at this party.

315 00:31:05 What are you talking about?

316 00:31:06 I mean, she's dressed different.

317 00:31:08 Kind of a flowy, purple outfit, silver hair.

318 00:31:13 Mark, are you talking about Mrs. Selvig?

319 00:31:15 Maybe, but her name is Harmony Cobel.

320 00:31:18 And she works at Lumon?

321 00:31:20 Yeah, she's my boss.

322 00:31:21 Jesus fucking Christ.

323 00:31:50 Dylan.

324 00:31:51 Why are you doing this, man?

325 00:31:54 Come on.

326 00:31:56 You are the refiner of the quarter!

327 00:31:58 “While most cultures view sex as ugly or foul,

328 00:32:01 - “I've always seen it…” - Mrs. Selvig?

329 00:32:03 - What? - Is she there? Is Mrs. Selvig there?

330 00:32:05 - Do you… - What?

331 00:32:05 Mrs. Selvig?

332 00:32:07 - What is going on? - She has Eleanor!

333 00:32:09 What? Excuse me a moment, okay.

334 00:32:12 Honey? What did you say?

335 00:32:14 Mrs. Selvig has Eleanor. Did you see her?

336 00:32:20 - Oh, my God. - What is going on?

337 00:32:22 Oh, my God. Her car's gone.

338 00:32:24 I gave her the baby, and she left!

339 00:32:26 - She left? With Eleanor? - I handed her the baby,

340 00:32:29 and she left!

341 00:32:30 - Have we looked everywhere? - Not yet!

342 00:32:32 Okay, let's go inside and look.

343 00:32:33 Oh, my God!

00:32:59 MILCHICK I bet the tempers were disappointed.

00:33:02 MILCHICK I can still get you back in there.

346 00:33:04 I can get you any perk you want, Dylan.

347 00:33:06 Hey, there's stuff you don't even know about.

348 00:33:09 There's paintball, there's coffee cozies.

349 00:33:13 Dylan, come on!

350 00:33:15 Just say the word, and I'll get you a coffee cozy literally right now, Dylan.

351 00:33:18 Come on, man!

352 00:33:19 I wanna remember my fucking kid being born!

353 00:33:25 You have two others.

354 00:33:28 I can tell you about 'em.

355 00:33:30 Open the door, and I'll tell you their names.

356 00:33:32 Come on, Dylan.

357 00:33:35 Dylan!

358 00:34:09 It's rolling.

359 00:34:12 My name is Helena, and I'm an Eagan.

360 00:34:16 So one of the things you learn growing up as an Eagan is that the workers…

361 00:34:21 - We start in two minutes. - Thanks.

362 00:34:23 Good luck.

363 00:34:25 I'll tee you up. Just stick to the talking points.

364 00:34:28 Use the line about how you see your innie as your sister.

365 00:34:31 - They'll love that. - Got it.

366 00:34:34 It's gonna be great.

367 00:35:20 She's not in the baby room.

368 00:35:23 Have all these rooms been checked?

369 00:35:27 Thank God.

370 00:35:29 Devon! I got her!

371 00:35:31 Devon, she's here! I found her.

372 00:35:34 I found your child.

373 00:35:36 I'm the one who found her!

374 00:35:51 Dylan!

375 00:35:55 Dylan!

376 00:35:56 …Improvements in morale,

377 00:35:57 a happier workplace.

378 00:36:00 As with any transformative technology, there have been setbacks.

379 00:36:04 Bumps in the road.

380 00:36:05 But I'm here tonight to tell you that we are on the verge of a revolution.

381 00:36:10 A kind and empathetic revolution

382 00:36:12 that puts the human being…

383 00:36:14 - Oh, my God! - Is it you?

384 00:36:19 What are you talking about?

385 00:36:22 It is you, isn't it?

386 00:36:27 I'm gonna kill your company.

387 00:36:30 Your company!

388 00:36:32 Who the hell do you think you are?

389 00:36:35 No. Your friends are gonna suffer.

390 00:36:39 Mark will suffer.

391 00:36:41 You'll be long gone,

392 00:36:43 but we will keep them alive, in pain.

393 00:36:49 You're on.

394 00:36:50 …decided that we could do better.

395 00:36:53 He may never have seen a severance chip in his lifetime,

396 00:36:56 but it represents his gentle and elegant vision made manifest.

397 00:37:01 But why don't we hear from someone who can tell us all about it firsthand?

398 00:37:06 Ladies and gentlemen, our guest of honor,

399 00:37:09 Helena Eagan.

400 00:37:18 Thank you, Natalie.

401 00:37:50 Devon!

402 00:37:56 My name is Helly R.

403 00:37:58 I'm an innie.

404 00:38:01 And everything they've told you about severance is a lie!

405 00:38:04 Devon!

406 00:38:08 IRVING: Burt!

00:38:11 IRVING: Burt!

00:38:12 HELLY: No, no, no. Listen, we're not happy. We're miserable.

00:38:17 IRVING: Burt!

00:38:22 HELLY: They torture us down there!

00:38:24 IRVING: Burt!

00:38:25 MARK: Devon! Please!

00:38:29 HELLY: We're prisoners!

00:38:31 MARK: She's alive!

00:38:35 IRVING: Burt!
