Transcript

1 00:00:15 “All I can be is sorry, and that is all I am.”

2 00:00:51 But I'm afraid you still don't mean it.

3 00:01:25 We'll try again in the morning.

4 00:02:06 See you tomorrow, Helly.

5 00:02:22 Fuck me.

6 00:02:28 I read it 300 times yesterday.

7 00:02:32 259. Again, please. Now.

8 00:02:40 What the hell is that voice?

9 00:02:59 “Forgive me for the harm I have caused this world.”

10 00:03:05 None may atone for my actions but me.

11 00:03:15 “And only in me shall their stain live on.”

12 00:03:30 I really am sorry, okay?

13 00:03:35 I'm sorry.

14 00:03:38 No paraphrasing. Again.

15 00:06:35 - Mark? - Yep?

16 00:06:36 It's past 1100, and Helly's been in the break room since yesterday.

17 00:06:41 - Okay? - I wonder if, as department chief,

18 00:06:43 you feel you should check on her progress?

19 00:06:46 - Well… - Mark doesn't have that power.

20 00:06:48 - Well, he can ask. - He's not going to.

21 00:06:49 - He might. - Okay…

22 00:06:50 Hi.

23 00:06:55 I'm so sorry to interrupt.

24 00:06:58 We met the other day. I'm Burt from Optics and Design.

25 00:07:02 - Hi, Irving. - Hi, Burt. What are you doing here?

26 00:07:05 Exactly how the wet fuck do you know

27 00:07:07 - where this office is? - Dylan!

28 00:07:08 My predecessor, Alice K., came here once when they still did the summits,

29 00:07:12 - and she'd left directions. - Give us them reversed.

30 00:07:15 Okay. It's all right.

31 00:07:16 What can we do for you, Burt?

32 00:07:17 Thank you. Well…

33 00:07:19 Irving, I kept thinking about what you said

34 00:07:21 about being excited for the new handbook totes,

35 00:07:25 and maybe you were kidding and teasing.

36 00:07:27 No, not at all.

37 00:07:29 Okay, good. I've been fretting, though, because you mentioned

38 00:07:32 the anticipation could distract from your work,

39 00:07:36 which was the opposite of my intent.

40 00:07:37 So I figured, heck, let's bring them over now.

41 00:07:41 That way, it won't be on your mind.

42 00:07:43 You brought pre-release handbook totes for us?

43 00:07:48 It seemed like the right thing. I know your time is valuable.

44 00:07:51 Okay, well, you can drop 'em on the desk. Long hike back to O&D.

45 00:07:55 Right.

46 00:07:56 I also wanted to extend an invitation.

47 00:07:59 Again, I know you… you work hard, so…

48 00:08:03 If an informal tour of O&D ever sounds refreshing,

49 00:08:07 I'd be happy to personally offer that to Irving and any one of you.

50 00:08:11 Directions are in the front bag, reversed.

51 00:08:14 Hard pass.

52 00:08:18 Okay.

53 00:08:21 Thank you, Burt.

54 00:08:23 Thank you.

55 00:08:32 Just seems soon to be taking him up on his offer.

56 00:08:35 It's absurd we've never visited them before now.

57 00:08:39 Kier's whole original vision saw us all working together.

58 00:08:43 That was before O&D started disemboweling people's bowels.

59 00:08:46 Nonsense. I'll be back by 1:00.

60 00:08:50 He's gonna die.

61 00:08:54 Irv…

62 00:09:04 How many times?

63 00:09:08 1,072.

64 00:09:40 What about the voice behind the door?

65 00:09:42 Crying baby, you mean?

66 00:09:45 No. Like, the angry, mumbly guy.

67 00:09:47 Guys? We're really not supposed to talk about the break room.

68 00:09:52 You know, the important thing is,

69 00:09:54 you apologized correctly, and now you're out.

70 00:09:57 What you gotta do is trick the machine

71 00:09:59 by thinking about something you're really sorry about,so

72 00:10:01 I like to imagine my outie's love-made with a MILF or two,

73 00:10:05 which is obviously badass, but I do pity the husbands.

74 00:10:29 Hey.

75 00:10:32 Break room sucks.

76 00:10:33 But that's why we have protocols and procedures so we don't end up there.

77 00:10:39 You'll learn. I promise.

78 00:10:54 Hello?

79 00:10:56 Who's that?

80 00:10:58 Hi.

81 00:11:00 It's Irving B. From Macrodata Refinement.

82 00:11:03 We met in the hall the other day.

83 00:11:09 Burt's over there by shelf six.

84 00:11:12 Don't touch anything.

85 00:11:16 The big envelopes can handle an appendix reissue.

86 00:11:20 But, of course, we ship all the hallway pieces in-frame.

87 00:11:28 So much to remember.

88 00:11:31 Felicia and I make do.

89 00:11:34 I'm sure it's easier than whatever you MDR kids get up to all day.

90 00:11:39 I can only imagine what it's like when the new art comes in.

91 00:11:43 I mean, you see it before anyone.

92 00:11:46 It's so dumb, but I actually cried

93 00:11:51 when you guys put up The Youthful Convalescence of Kier.

94 00:11:54 - No. - I did.

95 00:11:55 I never thought I'd see the handbook passage depicted visually.

96 00:11:59 It was only up for a month or so, but, man. What a month.

97 00:12:11 Come here.

98 00:12:14 Once the hall art's been cycled through all the departments,

99 00:12:19 it ends up back here.

100 00:12:21 Wow!

101 00:12:26 Where did Felicia go?

102 00:12:27 Supply run.

103 00:12:32 Voilà.

104 00:12:39 “Let not weakness live in your veins.

105 00:12:42 Cherished workers, drown it inside you.”

106 00:12:45 “Rise up from your deathbed and sally forth,

107 00:12:49 more perfect for the struggle.”

108 00:12:54 Exactly.

109 00:12:56 I…

110 00:12:58 I can't believe you…

111 00:13:01 You have this.

112 00:13:17 I'm sorry. What time is it?

113 00:13:20 I have to go.

114 00:13:38 Hey, Helly.

115 00:13:41 - I got to 4%. - Yes!

116 00:13:43 Feels good, right?

117 00:13:46 - I guess. - Awesome. I'm glad you agree.

118 00:13:52 Great work.

119 00:15:26 What's this?

120 00:15:27 Will you put that away?

121 00:15:31 - Put what away? - It's a map of the hallways.

122 00:15:33 No, it isn't.

123 00:15:34 I thought we weren't supposed to make maps.

124 00:15:37 We're not. I didn't. It's just something I found.

125 00:15:39 I think Petey made it.

126 00:15:41 Oh, shit. You didn't turn it in?

127 00:15:44 You're such a hypocrite,

128 00:15:45 lecturing me on following the rules.

129 00:15:47 I wasn't lecturing you. I'm just trying to keep you out of the break room.

130 00:15:50 I can't believe Petey was a mapper. Let me see it.

131 00:15:53 He's got wellness, management, perpetuity… Everywhere we know of.

132 00:15:58 This must've taken him weeks.

133 00:16:00 Why aren't we supposed to map the office?

134 00:16:02 It's an Eagan rule. “Render not my creation in miniature.”

135 00:16:05 Why?

136 00:16:07 What the fuck is this?

137 00:16:09 They look like houses, right? That's how houses look.

138 00:16:11 Yeah, exactly, because these are random, bored doodles.

139 00:16:15 Well, maybe they're on the outside and Petey found a way to get to them.

140 00:16:17 So why would they be on a map of the severed floor?

141 00:16:20 It could be a thing. You don't know.

142 00:16:22 It's not a thing.

143 00:16:23 Clearly he was trying to tell you something.

144 00:16:25 No.

145 00:16:26 Go lick a boot, Mark.

146 00:16:30 You're more loyal to this place than to your friend.

147 00:16:32 I'm loyal to how it felt around here before you showed up.

148 00:16:36 You mean when Petey was here?

149 00:16:38 Yeah, because there was balance.

150 00:16:40 We could have fun and work without the whole goddamn department imploding.

151 00:16:44 The work is bullshit.

152 00:16:46 The work is mysterious and important.

153 00:16:49 And we deal with the uncertainty it brings us

154 00:16:52 in the way that Kier would've wanted.

155 00:16:56 Together, as a family.

156 00:17:00 I could not, with a razor to my throat,

157 00:17:04 be less interested in being your family.

158 00:17:13 Your best friend left this for you, and you don't give a shit.

159 00:17:34 You're right. I don't give a shit.

160 00:17:36 Mark…

161 00:17:41 There. It's gone. Thank you, Helly. Now we can get back to work.

162 00:17:50 Mark!

163 00:17:54 It's an emergency.

164 00:17:58 Okay. All right…

165 00:17:59 I was going to get Mr. Milchick,

166 00:18:00 but I thought it best not to break the chain of command.

167 00:18:03 It's just raining contraband today.

168 00:18:05 - What do you mean? - It doesn't matter.

169 00:18:07 Has anyone seen anything like this before?

170 00:18:10 Passage 31, page 110.

171 00:18:12 “Be content in my words, and dally not in the scholastic pursuits of lesser men.”

172 00:18:18 No books except the handbook. I know.

173 00:18:22 What are you doing?

174 00:18:23 His ego's pissed 'cause Helly called him out for boot-licking.

175 00:18:25 - My ego's fine. I'm just trying to… - Damn.

176 00:18:30 Mark, what is this?

177 00:18:31 Maybe it's another Petey message. Flip through. See if my name's anywhere.

178 00:18:35 I bet it's a loyalty test.

179 00:18:38 Remember the spicy candy?

180 00:18:39 I'll be turning this in to Milchick.

181 00:18:41 What? Why? It's booty. It's booty with your name on it.

182 00:18:44 Excellent decision, Mark.

183 00:18:45 This is an idolatrous text that should be brought to him immediately.

184 00:19:15 So what's their space like? Stalactites and shit?

185 00:19:17 No, it's nice. Burt's fostered a really welcoming environment.

186 00:19:20 He understands the spirit of Lumon.

187 00:19:25 Helly?

188 00:19:28 Excuse me! Helly!

189 00:19:29 Jesus, Helly!

190 00:19:30 I want a camera!

191 00:19:32 - I am so sorry, Ms. Cobel. I will… - What is happening here?

192 00:19:35 What's happening is, you're going to give me a video camera

193 00:19:38 so I can tape a resignation to my outie right fucking now,

194 00:19:43 or you're going to have to explain to her why she's missing four fingers.

195 00:19:46 Okay. Let's just…

196 00:19:50 It's Cobel, right?

197 00:19:52 Yes.

198 00:19:54 Cobel, do I look like I'm fucking around right now?

199 00:19:58 No. No, you do not.

200 00:20:01 Helly!

201 00:20:04 Hi, Mark. I'm just catching up with your trainee.

202 00:20:11 Mr. Milchick,

203 00:20:14 could you get the video camera, please?

204 00:20:42 Hey.

205 00:21:16 Well, boss. I guess this is the part where I should tell you to go to hell.

206 00:21:23 Except you're already here.

207 00:21:33 I was never sorry.

208 00:21:56 Helly,

209 00:21:58 I watched your video asking that I resign.

210 00:22:02 I also received and responded to your previous request.

211 00:22:06 I assumed that would resolve the issue,

212 00:22:08 but now Ms. Cobel says you threatened to cut off your fingers?

213 00:22:17 I understand that you're unhappy with the life that you've been given.

214 00:22:24 But you know what? Eventually, we all have to accept reality.

215 00:22:28 So, here it is.

216 00:22:33 I am a person.

217 00:22:37 You are not.

218 00:22:40 I make the decisions.

219 00:22:43 You do not.

220 00:22:45 And if you ever do anything to my fingers,

221 00:22:50 know that I will keep you alive long enough to horribly regret that.

222 00:22:56 Your resignation request is denied.

223 00:22:59 Turn it off.

224 00:23:17 “Welcome your child into a world surrounded by nature.”

225 00:23:22 No, thanks.

226 00:23:25 “Scroll down to explore our rustic birthing cabins.”

227 00:23:31 I don't know. It just…

228 00:23:33 It looks more like a shitty ski resort than a birthing center to me, but…

229 00:23:39 Okay, sure, fine.

230 00:23:40 But it's gonna be awesome. And you're gonna like it.

231 00:23:42 How much of this was Ricken's idea, 300% or 400%?

232 00:23:46 Just…

233 00:23:47 Get all of your snark out now or you're never gonna earn your uncle badge.

234 00:23:50 You know what? I think I might have some more snark in me. I'm kinda tired.

235 00:23:54 - Call you tomorrow? - Okay, bye.

236 00:24:56 Have you heard from the Board yet?

237 00:25:01 No.

238 00:25:03 Kilmer wasn't your fault, and it certainly wasn't mine.

239 00:25:06 They'll understand.

240 00:25:12 It wasn't your fault, Harmony.

241 00:25:17 If you want a hug, go to hell and find your mother.

242 00:25:20 Jesus.

243 00:25:21 Since Petey reintegrated…

244 00:25:23 The Board's never acknowledged reintegration.

245 00:25:25 We have to get his chip.

246 00:25:30 His corpse is scheduled to be destroyed by cremation

247 00:25:33 following his funeral on Sunday.

248 00:25:36 FYI.

249 00:25:55 Vision.

250 00:25:57 Verve.

251 00:25:59 Wit.

252 00:26:01 Cheer.

253 00:26:03 Humility.

254 00:26:05 Benevolence.

255 00:26:08 Nimbleness.

256 00:26:11 Probity.

257 00:26:14 Wiles.

258 00:26:18 Wiles.

259 00:26:51 Mark.

260 00:26:53 Mrs. Selvig?

261 00:26:54 - What are you doing here? - Wh…

262 00:26:57 I'm… You know, the news report said that he worked at Lumon,

263 00:27:02 so I thought maybe I knew him. What are you doing here?

264 00:27:06 He used to come by my shop. He adored my hibiscus wrap.

265 00:27:10 Oh, my God. Wow, it's a small world.

266 00:27:14 Poor, poor man.

267 00:27:17 Well, on the upside, at least now we both have a date.

268 00:27:23 There he is.

269 00:27:24 If you'd like to go in and pay your respects,

270 00:27:26 I'll wait right here for you.

271 00:27:27 I think I might swing by the bathroom, but I'll see you in a sec.

272 00:27:32 - Service is starting soon. - Yeah.

273 00:27:46 Whiskey. Rocks.

274 00:27:48 It's just wine, sir.

275 00:27:50 Right. Red, please.

276 00:28:26 Hello. Were you a friend?

277 00:28:31 He was my dad.

278 00:28:33 I'm so deeply sorry.

279 00:28:41 I suppose you were close and everything.

280 00:28:56 White, please.

281 00:29:04 I'm sorry, I don't know you. I'm Nina.

282 00:29:07 Mark Scout.

283 00:29:10 I'm Peter's ex-wife.

284 00:29:13 Oh, yeah, sure. Sorry.

285 00:29:20 You're from Lumon.

286 00:29:31 So you didn't even know him at all.

287 00:29:36 - I just figured I knew him, and… - Hey, Mom.

288 00:29:38 They wanna start.

289 00:29:40 Okay, baby.

290 00:29:42 Hi. You're… Are you June?

291 00:29:46 Yeah.

292 00:29:48 It's nice to meet you.

293 00:30:17 So you knew my dad?

294 00:30:21 Yeah.

295 00:30:26 At work.

296 00:30:29 You're one of those.

297 00:30:31 Do you ever think that maybe

298 00:30:33 the best way to deal with a fucked-up situation in your life

299 00:30:35 isn't to just shut your brain off half the time?

300 00:30:41 I'm not exactly sure.

301 00:30:46 I'm sorry.

302 00:30:48 We're gonna perform something for you.

303 00:30:52 I'm glad you're here, babe.

304 00:30:54 We're gonna play a… We're gon… We're gonna melt your face off.

305 00:30:57 - We're gonna rock to it. - Gonna play some rock and roll.

306 00:30:59 Rock show time!

307 00:31:07 Say your prayers, little one.

308 00:31:09 Don't forget, my son.

309 00:31:10 To include everyone.

310 00:31:15 Tuck you in, warm within.

311 00:31:17 Keep you free from sin.

312 00:31:19 Till the sandman, he comes.

313 00:31:23 Sleep with one eye open.

314 00:31:27 Gripping your pillow tight.

315 00:31:30 Exit light.

316 00:31:34 Enter night.

317 00:31:38 Grain of sand.

318 00:31:41 We're off to never-never land.

319 00:31:51 Something's wrong, shut the light.

320 00:31:54 Heavy thoughts tonight And they aren't of Snow White.

321 00:31:59 Dreams of war, dreams of liars.

322 00:32:01 Dreams of dragon's fire.

323 00:32:03 And of things that will bite.

324 00:32:08 Sleep with one eye open.

325 00:32:12 Gripping your pillow tight.

326 00:32:14 Exit light.

327 00:32:18 Enter night.

328 00:32:22 Take my hand.

329 00:32:26 We're off to never-never land.

330 00:32:30 I pray the Lord my soul to keep

331 00:32:32 I pray the Lord my soul to keep.

332 00:32:34 And if I die before I wake.

333 00:32:36 And if I die before I wake.

334 00:32:38 I pray the Lord my soul to take

335 00:32:40 I pray the Lord my soul to take.

336 00:32:42 Hush, little baby, don't say a word.

337 00:32:46 And never mind that noise you heard.

338 00:32:50 It's just the monster under your bed.

339 00:32:54 - In your closet, in your head. - In your head.

340 00:32:58 Exit light.

341 00:33:02 Enter night.

342 00:33:05 Grain of sand.

343 00:33:10 We're off to never-never land.

344 00:33:22 No!

345 00:33:25 No!

346 00:33:29 What… What if you went so fast that smoke started coming out?

347 00:33:32 Out of your ears.

348 00:33:53 Mark, sweetheart, are you all right? I'm so sorry.

349 00:33:55 - Yeah. - I think I have this cystitis under…

350 00:33:57 This was a mistake. I have to go.

351 00:33:59 - Okay, well, let me come with you. - No, that's not necessary.

352 00:34:02 - No, I've paid my respects. Let's go. - Let us pray.

353 00:34:04 Our Father, who art in heaven…

354 00:34:07 So, was the funeral just too sad, or…

355 00:34:12 Something like that, yeah.

356 00:34:14 If you ever wanna talk…

357 00:34:16 Oh, no. Thank you. I just… I'm fine.

358 00:34:22 But thank you for, you know, being my funeral buddy today.

359 00:34:26 Good night.

360 00:34:28 Good night.

361 00:37:27 That's Petey?

362 00:37:30 That's Petey.

363 00:37:34 How did you…

364 00:37:35 Would you mind taking that up to diagnostics for me?

365 00:37:46 Yes?

366 00:37:53 You requested me, Ms. Cobel?

367 00:37:55 Ms. Casey, I'd like you to run a special wellness session with Mark S.

368 00:38:01 Mark S.?

369 00:38:03 What's the problem?

370 00:38:08 He just needs it. Trust me.

371 00:38:26 “Kier invites you to drink of his water.”

372 00:38:30 - Irving. - Felicia said you'd be here.

373 00:38:35 Is it awful to say I don't care for that one?

374 00:38:40 No.

375 00:38:41 Honestly, it makes me nervous too.

376 00:38:46 Such a lovely vista, but I keep thinking…

377 00:38:49 He could slip.

378 00:38:55 It was a thrill to have someone from MDR come see us,

379 00:38:59 to take an interest like you did, so…

380 00:39:03 If I embarrassed myself…

381 00:39:04 You didn't.

382 00:39:07 Unless, you did?

383 00:39:10 Are you embarrassed?

384 00:39:14 No.

385 00:39:17 Good.

386 00:39:21 I have four more stops.

387 00:39:26 Would MDR consider joining me?

388 00:39:31 MDR would.

389 00:39:35 You're crazy.

390 00:39:36 I wish I could nap.

391 00:39:39 I think I sleep 15 hours a night up there.

392 00:39:41 It's a character flaw.

393 00:39:43 It just means you're a party guy, disco king.

394 00:39:45 I can't be falling asleep, Burt.

395 00:39:47 - Who cares? - The handbook cares.

396 00:39:50 “No workplace shall be repurposed for slumber.”

397 00:39:54 I know the handbook, old man. I'm more of a first edition guy.

398 00:39:59 The original word of Kier: “And I shall whisper to ye dutiful through the ages.”

399 00:40:06 In your noblest thoughts and epiphanies shall be my voice.

400 00:40:10 You are my mouth,

401 00:40:13 and through ye, I will whisper on

402 00:40:17 “when I am 10 centuries demised.”

403 00:40:22 I don't understand.

404 00:40:24 He doesn't just speak to us through the handbook or the paintings.

405 00:40:29 He finds other ways.

406 00:40:34 “You think you need your job.”

407 00:40:37 But I've lived abroad as a vagrant,

408 00:40:40 abstaining from my own money to rely on the charity of strangers.

409 00:40:45 Most were beggars themselves, yet they were happy.

410 00:40:50 And so, for that summer, was I.

411 00:40:55 Your job needs you,

412 00:40:59 “not the other way around.”

413 00:41:07 Safe travels, MDR.

414 00:41:10 Thanks, O&D.

415 00:41:30 Mark?

416 00:41:33 I'm gonna go.

417 00:41:35 Do it.

418 00:41:36 I'm working up till the bell. I think I may still crush this thing tonight.

419 00:41:40 I hope you do.

420 00:41:45 See you soon.

421 00:42:48 Knew it.

422 00:42:55 Sometimes I ask people to sculpt how they feel out of clay.

423 00:43:01 Would you like to do that?

424 00:43:07 All right.

425 00:43:40 “'Destiny'. An acrostic poem experience by the author, Ricken Hale.”

426 00:44:07 “D is for dreaming, the start of it all.”

427 00:44:17 E is for energy…

428 00:44:21 Breaking down walls.

429 00:44:24 S is for stewardship,

430 00:44:28 of home and of earth.

431 00:44:34 T is for terror, which gives us more worth.

432 00:44:42 I is for eyes,

433 00:44:45 which observe us with love.

434 00:44:50 Until N, meaning newness,

435 00:44:53 rains down from above.

436 00:44:58 And Y.

437 00:45:00 That's a question we needn't now ponder.

438 00:45:04 “For destiny, friends, shall deliver all yonder.”

439 00:45:12 Hey. How are you?

440 00:45:13 Good.

441 00:45:15 Yeah? Seems like you're getting the hang of stuff here.

442 00:45:20 Cool.
