1 00:00:44 All right, Radar. Okay, come on. Let's go.

2 00:05:25 - Going good? - Yep.

3 00:05:26 Yeah?

4 00:05:29 - Think you'll have it by… - I'll get there.

5 00:05:54 - She's not gonna make it, is she? - You should be at your desks.

6 00:05:57 We've both been done a week. What is there to do?

7 00:05:59 - Is she gonna make it? - She's gonna make it.

8 00:06:01 Mark.

9 00:06:02 Yes?

10 00:06:03 - Don't laugh. - At?

11 00:06:06 I just wonder if it might be helpful for us to stand behind her

12 00:06:10 and perhaps chant her name.

13 00:06:15 Okay. She'll make it. Just let her focus.

14 00:06:28 How's she doing?

15 00:06:30 Gonna be down to the wire.

16 00:06:38 She'll make it.

17 00:06:40 Let's prep for when she makes it.

18 00:06:48 And I want to schedule

19 00:06:49 a end-of-the-quarter wellness session for Mark…

20 00:06:54 One last time.

21 00:06:57 Really?

22 00:07:04 Seth.

23 00:07:06 I know that this has been a trying quarter,

24 00:07:09 and you have availed yourself well.

25 00:07:14 Mr. Graner sits with Kier now,

26 00:07:17 and I imagine they're both very satisfied with you.

27 00:07:52 Hey.

28 00:07:55 Did you…

29 00:07:57 I think I did.

30 00:08:13 - She do it? - She did it!

31 00:08:17 Fuck and yes.

32 00:08:19 Oh, my goodness.

33 00:08:41 I knew you could do it, Helly R.

34 00:08:45 Even in your darkest moments, I could see you arriving here.

35 00:08:50 In refining your macrodata file, you have brought glory to this company and to me.

36 00:08:55 Kier Eagan.

37 00:08:57 I… I love you.

38 00:09:01 But now I must away, for there are others who need me around the world.

39 00:09:06 Goodbye, Helly R., and thank you.

40 00:09:26 Boom! That's quota. We did it.

41 00:09:30 Good work.

42 00:09:36 So it's on now?

43 00:09:53 Oh, Mark. I don't know how you knew

44 00:09:56 for the end of the quarter I wanted a heart attack.

45 00:10:02 Well, we made it, despite a staffing shake-up.

46 00:10:05 Yes, and spending half of your time farting around the halls.

47 00:10:10 Still, yes. You made it.

48 00:10:12 Have you decided who you want to stay for the waffle party?

49 00:10:16 I was thinking Dylan.

50 00:10:21 You know you can choose yourself or anyone but Dylan.

51 00:10:25 Yeah, but it's more his thing, and he really worked hard.

52 00:10:37 Well, I'll make the arrangements.

53 00:10:39 - Great. - But before you celebrate,

54 00:10:41 I'd like you to drop by wellness.

55 00:10:43 Really?

56 00:10:44 Yes. I'm having all department heads do it end-of-quarter.

57 00:10:49 With all of this stress and Mr. Graner retiring and everything.

58 00:10:54 Of course.

59 00:11:01 Mark, all sarcasm aside…

60 00:11:04 Yeah.

61 00:11:07 Thank you.

62 00:11:10 I…

63 00:11:11 Lumon needed this.

64 00:11:26 Mark.

65 00:11:29 Ms. Casey.

66 00:11:38 Where'd the tree go?

67 00:11:43 You can have a seat.

68 00:11:49 Why's everything in boxes?

69 00:11:53 Evidently Lumon's been blessed with a new wellness director.

70 00:11:57 So I'll be retiring at the conclusion of this session, and the room is…

71 00:12:01 What? Wait.

72 00:12:03 When did they tell you?

73 00:12:07 Just now. Just a moment ago.

74 00:12:30 Mark S.,

75 00:12:33 you have successfully led your department, Macrodata Refinement,

76 00:12:37 to meet their quarterly quota,

77 00:12:39 and are thus eligible for this special, augmented wellness session.

78 00:12:44 I didn't think you'd get fired.

79 00:12:49 “Your outie is kind.”

80 00:12:52 Your outie has brightened people's days by merely smiling.

81 00:12:59 Your outie makes time for people, even when…

82 00:13:02 Hey, let me talk to somebody.

83 00:13:16 I really liked being in the office with you all that day.

84 00:13:22 I know I vexed you.

85 00:13:24 I know I'm… strange.

86 00:13:27 No, you're not strange.

87 00:13:31 My life has been 107 hours long.

88 00:13:34 Most of that has been these half-hour sessions.

89 00:13:39 For me, my favorite time was the eight hours

90 00:13:43 I spent in your department watching Helly.

91 00:13:50 It's the longest I've ever been awake.

92 00:13:56 I suppose it's what you could call my good old days.

93 00:14:04 There must be something we can do.

94 00:14:16 Why do you care what happens to me?

95 00:14:31 Because we're people, not parts of people.

96 00:14:36 Even with what little they gave us, these are our lives.

97 00:14:40 No one gets to just turn you off.

98 00:14:48 You're nice, Mark.

99 00:15:07 “Your outie is kind.”

100 00:15:11 Your outie can set up a tent in under three minutes.

101 00:15:17 Your outie knows a beautiful rock from a plain one.

102 00:15:23 Your outie likes giving…

103 00:15:27 You know it's good, right?

104 00:15:30 That they don't remember each other?

105 00:15:34 It means the chips work.

106 00:15:38 It's a win.

107 00:15:43 Take her back down

108 00:15:46 to the testing floor, please.

109 00:16:45 Do you know if I'm happy up there?

110 00:16:50 Of course.

111 00:16:52 You do all sorts of wonderful things.

112 00:17:12 - Could I just… - I'm sorry.

113 00:17:15 I just have so much to do today.

114 00:17:17 On you go.

115 00:17:58 - Mark. - Where were you?

116 00:18:00 They gave me a wellness check.

117 00:18:03 Okay. You're all set for the waffle party.

118 00:18:06 How's Ms. Casey?

119 00:18:07 I mean, I'm over her, but I still wanna be friends.

120 00:18:12 - They fired her. - What?

121 00:18:14 Yeah. She just found out.

122 00:18:15 Well, can we help her? Is there anything we can do?

123 00:18:18 I don't know.

124 00:18:22 Is everyone sure they wanna do this?

125 00:18:25 Any Macrodats ready to party?

126 00:18:28 Yeah.

127 00:18:33 Dylan G.'s waffle party will commence at close of day.

128 00:18:36 In the meantime,

129 00:18:38 I've ordered the pre-waffle party egg bar social for everyone.

130 00:18:42 Yes! Pay dirt! Yeah!

131 00:18:45 All of you deserve this for reaching quota.

132 00:18:49 But before we begin…

133 00:18:53 A very special gift for a very special Dylan.

134 00:18:58 Our three-time R of the Q!

135 00:19:02 A man whose mind is as sharp as his incisors.

136 00:19:05 Right, bud?

137 00:19:14 Open it.

138 00:19:15 Yeah, I bet you'd like that, fuckers. But my prize, my eyes, so…

139 00:19:19 Maybe you should show them, Dylan.

140 00:19:21 Show them what you requested.

141 00:19:25 Yeah, show us, man.

142 00:19:27 Fine.

143 00:19:41 Okay, yeah. Let's switch up the vibe in here.

144 00:19:50 Good?

145 00:20:13 Jesus, this is actually good.

146 00:20:16 DYLAN: Yeah, the egg bar is coveted as fuck.

147 00:20:27 Look at this thing over here.

148 00:20:29 Looking good.

149 00:20:39 I should be the one to stay behind.

150 00:20:41 Nope.

151 00:20:44 Don't you wanna see your kid again?

152 00:20:47 What we're doing tonight is just the first step.

153 00:20:54 Are you sure?

154 00:21:23 Helly R. Attempted suicide three weeks ago.

155 00:21:28 Yes, she did.

156 00:21:32 How could you not tell us?

157 00:21:36 Did Milchick give you those?

158 00:21:39 Answer the question.

159 00:21:43 Am I speaking with the Board?

160 00:21:47 We also know that you've been spending time

161 00:21:49 at the home of Mark Scout's sister.

162 00:21:55 Right.

163 00:21:57 It has been decided that you be suspended from your position, effective immediately.

164 00:22:03 You are fired.

165 00:22:06 Go…

166 00:22:10 Oh, fuck off, Natalie!

167 00:22:14 Is the Board even there?

168 00:22:22 Yes.

169 00:22:33 I'm sorry. That was rude.

170 00:22:36 I can explain everything to the Board tonight, please.

171 00:22:44 The Board has concluded the call.

172 00:23:22 “Endow in each swing of your ax

173 00:23:25 or swipe of your pen the sum of your affections,

174 00:23:30 that through me they may be purified

175 00:23:34 and returned.

176 00:23:39 No higher purpose may be found than this.

177 00:23:44 “Nor any… higher love.”

178 00:24:18 I figured it out.

179 00:24:20 The goats lay the eggs.

180 00:24:22 Oh, my God. You got it!

181 00:24:39 You scared about tonight?

182 00:24:44 Yeah.

183 00:24:48 I'm scared of getting caught.

184 00:24:55 They left us unattended, and thought we'd be too dumb to notice.

185 00:24:59 They won't see this coming.

186 00:25:05 Or we won't wake up.

187 00:25:17 Or we're all assholes out there.

188 00:25:20 Well, that's a given for me.

189 00:25:26 You know, I just hope it turns out I have things I care about.

190 00:25:31 Like, for real.

191 00:25:35 You pretended to care about me pretty well.

192 00:25:43 You're easy to pretend to care about.

193 00:25:53 Thank you.

194 00:25:56 As are you.

195 00:25:58 Thanks.

196 00:26:03 Okay, Refiners!

197 00:26:05 I need to see about a management issue, and this party is over.

198 00:26:09 I'll leave the food.

199 00:26:11 Thank you, Mr. Milchick.

200 00:26:13 Dylan, I'll be back to escort you to perpetuity shortly.

201 00:26:53 Key card.

202 00:27:10 On you go then.

203 00:27:34 Okay, look, you don't mess with any other departments.

204 00:27:37 - It's just us three. - I know.

205 00:27:39 The machine's designed to be operated by two…

206 00:27:41 Two people. I'll be fine.

207 00:27:42 Can I have the stuff, please?

208 00:27:51 Now, look, it's likely we'll all wake up around people.

209 00:27:54 Could be driving or skiing, whatever we do up there.

210 00:27:57 So be ready for anything as you go up the elevator.

211 00:28:00 Okay?

212 00:28:01 The important thing is you find someone it seems you can trust,

213 00:28:04 and you tell them everything.

214 00:28:07 And we don't know how long Dylan will be able to give us,

215 00:28:09 so we can't get distracted digging into our lives.

216 00:28:11 Right. The mission is the priority.

217 00:28:20 I probably should've told you guys…

218 00:28:27 But I kept this.

219 00:28:31 And there was a part of it that…

220 00:28:35 Well…

221 00:28:42 “Our job… is to taste free air.”

222 00:28:48 Your so-called boss may own the clock that taunts you from the wall.

223 00:28:54 - But, my…” - “But, my friends, the hour is yours.”

224 00:29:02 Page 197 slaps.

225 00:29:20 Okay, kids.

226 00:29:25 Let's find out what's for dinner.

227 00:29:34 You think we're about to meet our spouses?

228 00:29:37 Maybe.

229 00:29:39 Maybe it's each other.

230 00:29:42 That'd be a hoot.

231 00:29:43 Yeah.

232 00:29:45 Yeah, like, mid-argument over car wash coupons.

233 00:29:50 “Honey, you're cutting them wrong!”

234 00:30:00 - Okay. - All right.

235 00:30:26 In case we don't come back.

236 00:30:29 Or, I don't know, in case we do?

237 00:30:31 Right.

238 00:30:39 Good luck out there, boss.

239 00:31:11 “Type. Trackball. Type. Flip.

240 00:31:13 Trackball. Enter. Shift. Enter.”

241 00:31:20 Okay.

242 00:31:22 Are you ready, Dylan G.?

243 00:31:28 Dylan G.?

244 00:31:30 I'll be out in a minute!

245 00:31:31 “Select, flip….”

246 00:32:35 Enjoy.

247 00:33:40 Fuck her goddamn soul forever into hell!

248 00:33:44 Filth and fucking fire until she fucking dies!

249 00:33:50 Fuck her and her fucking fake smile!

250 00:33:55 Oh, God.

251 00:33:57 Fuck her goddamn soul!

252 00:36:10 No.

253 00:36:25 Why?

254 00:37:32 Mark.

255 00:37:35 Hi, Mrs. Selvig.

256 00:37:36 Sorry to just pop over…

257 00:37:37 Yes? What is it?

258 00:37:40 Well, I'm headed to Devon and Ricken's.

259 00:37:43 - They have that party tonight. - And?

260 00:37:45 Well, Devon asked me to double-check, see if you're interested in coming.

261 00:37:52 I am sorry, Mark. I'm just… I'm not feeling quite myself this evening.

262 00:37:58 Oh, no. I get it.

263 00:38:01 I mean, it's not a funeral. So…

264 00:38:10 You know, maybe I could drive my own car.

265 00:38:14 Yes!

266 00:38:16 And that way I could leave if I'm uncomfortable or afraid.

267 00:38:19 Sure, yeah. That sounds great.

268 00:38:30 Hey.

269 00:38:36 Did you miss me?

270 00:39:19 - The elusive Mark. - Never thought of myself as elusive.

271 00:39:24 Welcome. Welcome.

272 00:39:26 Okay. The reading starts in eight minutes.

273 00:39:31 Mark, you've got your copy to follow along, yes?

274 00:39:34 I… You know, I think I left it by my bed.

275 00:39:40 Shoot. Really?

276 00:39:42 - Okay, shoot! - Indeed. Yeah, I'm sorry.

277 00:39:44 And it's a 15-minute drive back, so you could still catch…

278 00:39:48 You know what? It's fine.

279 00:39:49 - Unless you want to. - Well…

280 00:39:51 My friends.

281 00:39:52 - Hey. - Hi.

282 00:39:53 Baby's first party for Daddy.

283 00:39:56 Look, she's so drunk.

284 00:39:57 So there is so much food in there.

285 00:39:59 Rebeck! She may be willing to share her copy with you.

286 00:40:03 But I should ask her directly, or she might be offended.

287 00:40:06 - Excuse me. - Okay.

288 00:40:09 - He is on it. - I know.

289 00:40:12 - Sister and brother. - Alone at last.

290 00:40:13 Gross. Hey, do you wanna give me your coat?

291 00:40:17 This is nice.

292 00:40:18 - Yeah? - Yeah.

293 00:40:20 - You're a good wife and mother and stuff. - Thanks.

294 00:40:24 Oh, yeah. All glory unto Devon.

295 00:40:27 Yeah, all glory, and screw you.

296 00:40:29 - Hey, we should talk later. - Yeah?

297 00:40:31 Yeah. I've been pondering a decently-sized life change.

298 00:40:35 Uh-oh.

299 00:40:36 Well, I gotta float around and host, but thank you for being here.

300 00:40:39 - Yeah, of course. Yeah. - Come here.

301 00:40:44 Watch for leakies, Mark.

302 00:40:45 Hi, Mrs. Selvig.

303 00:41:19 But, Mark,

304 00:41:21 I am sorry I was so terse before.

305 00:41:24 Oh, no, no, no.

306 00:41:27 I just had a bad day at the shop.

307 00:41:30 Well, I'm sorry to hear that. But it's… Glad you're here now.

308 00:41:36 Yeah.

309 00:41:38 Work's just work, right?

310 00:41:45 Yes.

311 00:42:23 Okay.

312 00:42:27 Okay, “Trackball, track… Flip timing switch. Type in. Trackball.”

313 00:42:33 Okay, so this is…

314 00:42:35 Where's… Where's MDR?

315 00:42:39 Shift.

316 00:42:45 Manage.

317 00:42:48 Confirm. Okay.

318 00:42:55 That's…

319 00:43:00 “Function.” Boom.

320 00:43:07 Okay. Helly R.

321 00:43:13 Come on. Come on. Come on.

322 00:43:15 Mark.

323 00:43:19 All right. Irving.

324 00:43:43 Fuck.

325 00:43:45 Okay, “flip.”

326 00:43:48 Irving, Helly, Mark.

327 00:43:54 Well, anyway, I should probabl…

328 00:43:55 - I don't mean to be nosy, but… - No, no.

329 00:43:57 …I heard you say to Devon something about a life change?

330 00:44:05 Well, I was gonna have a talk with her about my job actually.

331 00:44:11 At Lumon?

332 00:44:12 Yeah.

333 00:44:14 I was gonna tell her that I'm thinking I might quit.

334 00:44:20 Quit?

335 00:44:25 “Beehive.”

336 00:44:29 “Lullaby, open house, overtime.”

337 00:44:31 Yes.

338 00:44:32 Are you serious?

339 00:44:34 Yeah. I just…

340 00:44:37 This severance thing, it…

341 00:44:42 Not sure I need it anymore.

342 00:44:56 Okay.

343 00:44:59 “Now find… A.”

344 00:45:05 Great.

345 00:45:06 Do it.

346 00:45:08 Shit.

347 00:45:12 Come on.

348 00:45:14 Get away from them, Mark.

349 00:45:25 Come here.
