Yeah?

Did you borrow my car last night?

Mm-hmm.

I've explained about how everything works, right?

All the little quirks,

keeping a sixty-year-old V8 running smoothly.

Kari, are you going somewhere with this, or?

I'm wondering,

did I forget to tell you that you have to turn the lights off

when you park the car?

Is it my fault, I have a dead battery?

Shit, did I?

Okay, well I'll get it fixed, or charged, or whatever.

Just get a cab.

I'm in a cab.

Why is there a guy sleeping on the couch?

Mm, that's just Pete.

Not what I asked.

Pete snores, that's why he's on the couch.

Now, do you want to talk about what's really bothering you, or?

No, I'm pissed about the car and the guy, and...

Okay, all right, fine.

Well, if that's true, then you can

just yell at me when you get home.

Now go to work,

crush your meeting, and then see how you feel.

In the meantime, I'll see if Pete has a friend.

You're welcome in advance.

We strongly recommend this approach.

It will effectively delay

and stonewall them for at least a year,

at which point we divide and conquer.

Yeah, yeah.

Seriously?

This is all you've got after six

months and two million in billings?

We have an alternate proposal, actually.

Oh, and by we, do you mean you?

Aren't you a secretary?

First year associate.

Oh, first year associate.

Well, let's hear it and make it good because time is money and

at the end of your next sentence, I'll have made

more money than you will in your entire lifetime.

Look, I...

we feel that there would be significant advantages to

settling all of your outstanding lawsuits immediately.

There is no we.

Zip it!

So surrender, your plan is surrender?

This is not what I want this--

Did I give you an order, woman?

All right, let's hear more about your surrender plan.

All the suits, the patent infringement,

your tool division's faulty induction chargers

that drain batteries,

the workplace harassment class action,

the accident proof claim from those involved in accidents

and the A-list actor who got run over by a car

that was supposed to be off.

B-list, at best.

Look, it doesn't matter.

Wrap everything up at once and settle.

Yeah, but that doesn't square up with

what your chair just recommended,

is that I can push these suits for years.

Yes.

But you're gonna lose most, if not all of them.

And the plaintiff's attorneys know it,

and they're looking at a five year stretch

or longer of being out of

of pocket before they even get a whiff of a payday.

But if you do it now,

they'll push their clients to take 20 cents on the dollar.

That'll be...

180 million, at least.

220 with our fees.

Now you see that

is a great thought experiment.

But I don't see how it translates to the real world.

Because you're gonna need a lot less money

in the near future.

Now that's something I haven't heard before.

Under the terms of your prenup--

- Stadner. - Hey!

Sit!

For the first time today, I'm actually interested.

Now this I wanna hear.

Am I getting a divorce, Madam Secretary?

Is there something you know that I don't?

Your net worth is made up almost

entirely of your Empire stock holdings.

According to your prenup,

your wife is entitled to a third of the

value of that stock at the time of filing.

At the moment, your stock is massively

overvalued based on the perception of its future value.

Settling these lawsuits will cut the stock price by over 40%.

File papers on your wife after it tanks, and you've cut your

divorce payout from a third of your assets, to--

To 20 cents on the dollar.

Exactly.

Except that nearly halves my wealth

and pulls me out of the three-comma club.

Temporarily.

Is this a joke?

You aren't confident you can bring the stock price back up,

get all the truck bros back into sports cars?

The Predator's a muscle car.

EV muscle car.

You've got brains.

And balls.

Thank you.

Both of which I hate in a woman.

Debra, a word.

What the fuck was that?

He wasn't buying your approach.

Were you trying to bail me out?

Yeah.

And I apologize.

Apologize? You jeopardized the biggest account we have.

Right.

Well apparently Everett Lom doesn't care

what I think or share my opinion.

What?

So I'm not--

Yes, you're working on the account.

Starting now, I need you to deliver some

papers for Lom on a deal he's closing today.

You want me to courier contracts?

Is that beneath you?

No, no, not at all.

I just,

I don't have my car today.

My roommate borrowed it, left the lights on and now it's dead.

Well, that's not a problem.

Lom is sending over one of his latest cars

for you to test drive and to get you there.

That way you'll get better acquainted with product.

Here you go.

Get going, it's a few hours away.

Drive safe.

Speaking of your roommate,

how are those allergy pills I recommended working out for her?

Uh...

She's been using them, she says they're fine.

Good.

Good to know.

Thank you for the opportunity.

Kari Stadner?

Yeah.

Marcus, Empire.

Is this your first time in an autonomous vehicle?

Yeah.

We have a few things we should go over.

Let me introduce you to the Empire Predator EL.

Probably a little more car than you're used to.

Sure.

Fill me in.

Operating a self-driving vehicle isn't all that complicated.

Why don't you come on over here and I'll get you started.

Scan this.

Why?

Smart scan.

We're gonna turn your phone into the car keys.

Okay.

- Hmm. - Great.

Now, everything that you might need...

Messaging, music, anything that you want.

Tap the start button in the app, you're off and running.

So it's gonna take me from here to there?

This thing isn't,

it's not exactly legal on surface streets yet,

but you get this thing on the 400 North,

far enough out, the car will seamlessly take over.

And what if something goes wrong?

Nothing ever goes wrong.

Aside from the 15 lawsuits.

Funny.

The important thing is that you will be completely safe.

This car has a titanium-enforced body,

strongest frame on the market.

You drive this thing through a tank,

you're not gonna put a scratch on it.

Good to know.

All that being said,

if you wanna pull over or you simply just

wanna drive for a little bit,

all you have to do, grab the steering wheel,

you're in complete control.

Speaking of, where do I plug my phone in?

Plug your phone in, what is this, 1972?

No, induction chargers, just put your phone right there.

There you go, congratulations.

You are now in control of the

world's most advanced consumer vehicle.

But seriously though, what if something goes wrong?

Do you have headphones?

Yeah.

Why don't you pop one of those bad boys in?

Great, just push that button right there.

Welcome to the Predator, Kari Stadner.

How?

He synched your phone, remember?

Anything you need, from directions

to reservations to roadside assistance,

I'm the most advanced AI ever in a consumer vehicle.

How can I help you?

I'm good for the moment, thanks.

And Kari?

- Yeah? - Good luck on the trip.

Thanks.

You have just started the ignition on the

Everett Lom designed Empire Predator EL.

It is the fastest, smartest,

most powerful, accident-proof car ever built.

So take your hands off that wheel and

be driven to your final destination.

Oh, for fuck's sakes, give it a rest.

Cleared for auto-drive.

Answer phone.

Hey, so I called the garage and they

sent a guy over to charge the battery.

Said it should be good now.

Did you know that if you pay in cash for

these house calls that there's no taxes?

Yes, everyone knows that.

Whoa, sorry I'm not as steeped in

the world of casual crime as you are.

Sorry, I shouldn't have snapped.

It's just, I hate this car.

You're not at the office?

No, I've gotta deliver some documents

and they gave me this car

the thing keeps trying to drive for me and it's just...

Ugh!

You're in a self-driving vehicle?

You?

I know.

Huh. Do you let it drive by itself at all or?

For almost a minute, maybe.

Sounds about right.

So when are you gonna be home?

Late.

I'm still an hour away from dropping the files off

and God knows how long that's gonna take.

So I'll have the house basically to

myself tonight is what you're saying?

You're calling that guy again?

Pete, yes, absolutely yes.

Two nights in a row.

Hey, when you strike gold you keep digging.

And please don't take this as criticism,

but it'll be kinda nice not having to

worry about you being in the next room.

I think I almost broke something last night trying not to scream.

Jesus, Suzy.

Seriously, I'm gonna find you a guy

and give you a reason to leave

the office earlier than 8 p.m. every night.

Good luck with that.

See you tomorrow.

Okay, bye.

Bye.

Find me somewhere to eat.

The closest restaurant is the Tomiko diner.

7.2 miles from your current location.

Okay, take me there.

No, not the windows.

Ugh.

That makes sense.

What can I get you?

Do you have anything other than butter tarts to go?

Sandwiches?

- Butter tarts it is then. - Okay.

You have just started the ignition

on the Everett Lom designed Empire Predator EL.

David, can you please disable that video?

No can do.

It's programmed into the startup chain.

Of course it is.

...accident proof car ever built.

So take your hands off that wheel and

be driven to your final destination.

Did it?

I have no record of that.

In 500 yards, right turn on Granby road.

You have just started the ignition on the

Shut up!

It is the fastest, smartest--

And of course nothing ever happens right,

when I'm in a dead zone.

Oh shit, the handbreak.

Right, no engine.

Ugh!

How can I assist you today?

Uh, the car is dead.

Wait, dead? What do you--

What specific difficulty are you encountering?

You're not an AI concierge, are you?

Strictly speaking, no.

So what was all that about?

I'm not sure what you mean.

You're pretending to be an AI.

You don't have to spin this, I'm a lawyer for Empire.

You're, oh okay, no, it's here in the file.

Kari Stadner.

Yeah, so what's with the act?

Well, the concierge AI isn't quite up to snuff just yet.

Our job is to make sure that doesn't become public knowledge.

So is there a room full of you pretending to be computers?

Not a big room.

Anyway, I'm David, how can I help you?

Like I said, the car is dead and the GPS is faulty.

Dead?

Faulty?

Was there an accident?

No, I was driving along and it took me

down a dead-end road and it just died on me.

Nothing works.

Frankly, I'm amazed I can talk to you.

Well, I'm linked to you through

the Empire Satellite System.

According to my screen, you've got

power, so this is likely a software issue.

Please tell me it's something we can fix.

Most things are fixable.

Just give me a second to connect to your car's computer.

I'm sorry, it's not connecting.

There's a message on the touch screen.

Does that help?

It does, can you please read it to me?

Okay, it says E colon 452.

It's red and blinking every few seconds.

Well, no wonder it's dead.

Look, I'm gonna have to ask you to reboot the car's computer.

You want me to turn it off and on again?

Basically, yeah.

Okay, where's the switch?

You'll have to go to the trunk.

Okay, what am I looking for?

A big-ish square box.

Got it.

Now, push hard on the back of it and it should pop out.

Done.

Great, we're 1/20 of the way there.

That's funny.

It'll be funnier once I tell you the next 19 steps.

Okay, next.

Open up the panel and take a look inside.

I think I, I don't know, it's kind of dark.

Try the flashlight on your phone.

Not gonna happen.

Phone's basically dead,

which isn't surprising considering you guys

are being sued over your induction chargers.

I think I've got it.

Wait.

What was that?

You said something about the induction charger.

It doesn't work.

How about we talk about the wire

that just tried to electrocute me?

It's an electrical issue we're working on.

You're lucky I can't testify about this.

For sure.

Lucky.

As much as I don't wanna end up being lawsuit 16,

I need to get this car running.

I'm sorry, but we've reached the

endpoint of what I can do from here.

So you're saying I'm completely screwed?

I'm not allowed to use that kind of

language on calls, but strictly on the QT...

Yes.

So what's the next step?

Well, if you'll just confirm your address for me,

I could dispatch a tow truck.

The driver will be able to diagnose

and repair your problem, or

at the very least, tow you to the nearest service station.

Is that acceptable?

Not really.

But let's do this.

Great.

I can see where you are.

A truck should be out your way in a couple of hours.

Wait, seriously?

The closest service station is 80 miles away.

Hopefully they have a truck closer to that.

But you can't promise anything?

No, I can't.

Great.

Two hours is, is that the absolute outside, right?

Because of your location, there's no guarantee.

It's just, I'm delivering some important documents and they

absolutely have to be there in the next two hours.

If I wasn't in this stupid car.

Damn, look, okay.

Is there someone you can call to pick up

the delivery or drive you the rest of the way?

If you'll recall the whole induction charger situation.

Right, of course.

I can make the call for you, route it through the satellite.

Kari.

Okay, great. It's um,

555-400-2319.

Got it.

It's ringing.

- - I'll patch you in. - Thanks

When you're done,

just hit the red button and I'll be here.

Stadner, you there?

Yes.

You completed the delivery?

Not yet.

The car broke down and I don't know

if the tow truck will be here in time.

Well, that's not acceptable.

Papers have to get there today.

I understand that.

I was just wondering if you could call them

ahead and see if they

could send someone out to collect them or me, I guess.

I'm just 20 minutes away.

Then that's not, okay, listen to me.

I'm just heading into a meeting.

I should be done in an hour.

If you get the contracts delivered before that,

leave me a message.

If not, I'll see what I can do.

Sure.

Thank you.

I'm sorry about all this.

Just another act of God.

Thank me by getting the papers there.

Absolutely not a problem.

Not any further problems, I mean.

Okay.

Oh, my God!

Unlock door!

Unlock door!

Kari, I can't hear you.

I'm locked in the car!

There's nothing I can do, you must have done something.

What the hell is that?

It's the car alarm, did you mess with the doors?

No, I did nothing and it just, ah!

You should be able to shut it off from the app.

On the phone your car killed.

Oh, right, damn.

Will it stop at some point?

You'll have to wait for the tow truck.

I can't do 90 minutes of this!

There's gotta be something!

There is one thing, but--

But what?

You'd have to disconnect one of the fuses.

From the car that almost killed me?

Yeah, there's a plug that if you pulled it, it should shut off.

Should, it won't shock me!

I can't promise that.

Ugh, God damn it, David!

Kari, I'm officially recommending you not do this.

Officially.

Shove it!

What's the insurance coverage on this car?

Don't worry, unplugging the alarm

shouldn't do any permanent damage.

And if I take a sledgehammer to it?

That might be a different matter,

but the car is pretty indestructible.

That's what Marcus said.

I doubted it somehow.

What time is it?

4:30.

Any update on that tow truck?

As soon as I know, I'll call you back.

Don't go.

What do you need?

I need to deliver this briefcase.

I need to not lose this job.

I need your boss to get a divorce

so I can get an end of quarter

bonus that gets me caught up on my student loans.

Yeah, I can't help with any of that.

Okay, then.

Right now, I need to not be alone in the middle of nowhere.

So can you stick around?

I mean, it's not busy.

You're an angel.

You know that I've kept a car running for nearly a decade?

Since before I could drive.

Really?

Yep.

It was my grandfather's.

Rebuilt it with my dad.

Runs like a dream.

Hmm, that's a piece of history.

It is.

You know, this car doesn't even have an engine.

When it died, I went to check the battery.

Turns out, it doesn't have an engine.

Well, EVs don't have a traditional drive train.

They have individual motors on the wheels that

are powered by the batteries you're sitting on.

That's how a toy car works.

Well, we're not supposed to say it, but yeah.

You're basically sitting in a giant toy car.

Great.

Hold on a second.

Well, I may not be an angel, but I've

certainly got some good news for you.

Okay, don't keep me waiting.

I've just got a report back from the tow truck.

They're about 20 minutes away.

Thank you.

No problem.

Hey, if you want me to stay on the line

until they get there, I'll be happy to.

You're okay, but thanks for talking me through this.

Well, if you're sure.

Absolutely, but thank you for staying on the line with me.

Hmm, happy to help.

And hey, if you need anything else, anything at all.

Red button.

Exactly.

David.

Kari, what do you need?

There's a van right behind me.

I told you they were a few minutes away.

No, not a tow truck, a van.

I can't make out the license plate, but you should call.

Did I say a tow truck was coming?

I meant van.

Sorry for the confusion.

Wait, those are the mechanics you sent me?

Why are they in a van?

Yeah, I did send them,

but they're not strictly speaking mechanics.

I mean, they're handy with tools.

What are you talking about?

Well, the thing is, you're not

actually talking to Empire tech support.

You should probably know that button's just for show.

I've been here the whole time.

What is this?

What do you want?

Were you just yelling at that button?

Be honest.

I'm not HAL.

That's not my eye.

It's not even the microphone.

Oh, I wouldn't do that if I were you.

Where are you gonna go, huh?

Back up the road?

They've got a van.

Are you gonna run through that bog or up the power line?

Good choice, Kari.

What do you want?

Before we start talking about me,

I want you to know this phone call

is not being recorded for quality assurance, and I want to

ensure that you completely

understand the situation you're in.

Allow my associates to introduce themselves.

Who are you, people?

Still wanna run?

Come and get me.

See how that goes.

Well, since you asked.

You have just started the ignition on the

Everett Lom designed Empire Predator EL.

Shut the fuck up.

The safest, accident-proof car ever built.

How long do you think you can keep that up?

Nice move.

But I'm not out of tricks just yet.

God damn it, what do you want from me?

Right now, I think he'd just like to

bash your head in for crushing his fingers.

Oh, just tell me!

All right.

If you don't do exactly as I say, they're gonna smash their

way into the car and drag you out.

Once you're outside of the car, what happens to

you is out of my hands, but take my word for it.

It's a fate you would rather avoid if at all possible.

I get it.

You want me scared?

Well fine, I'm terrified.

I will do anything you want.

Great, just what I wanted to hear.

I mean sure,

I could live without the attitude, but you're under

some stress, so I'll give you a pass.

David!

Yes, Kari?

What do you want?

What does anyone want?

Money and plenty of it.

I've got maybe $7,000 in my bank account.

It's all yours, if you just let me go.

Oh, I've already got your money.

What?

You downloaded an app to your phone

because a stranger told you to.

What did you think would happen?

I emptied your account hours ago, but that was just for fun.

I'm looking for something with a few more zeros.

I don't have it.

Don't be coy.

Of course you do.

It's sitting on your lap.

What, the briefcase?

You want the briefcase?

No, I want what's in the briefcase, the contracts.

What?

Why?

Because that's where you'll find

account routing and transfer information.

That'll allow me to siphon the account they're connected to.

Then we can all go our separate ways.

So, how about it?

No.

There's more than that.

I don't follow.

If all you needed were the papers,

you could have had your boys come and grab them.

But you didn't.

Why?

I prefer low-conflict transactions.

Maybe.

Or maybe they don't know how much money is involved.

And if they got their hands on the papers,

they'd want to renegotiate their deal.

Okay, sure.

Since you mention it,

I'd rather get the information from you.

I mean, have you seen those two?

Would you want to work with them

any more than you absolutely had to?

I trust your fear more than their honor.

And what's to stop me from just turning it over

to them and letting the three of you fight it out?

Oh come on, Kari.

Look, I understand you're a lawyer, and your first

instinct is to negotiate your way out of this.

But think about it for a second.

In this situation, who would you rather deal with?

The pleasant man on the phone, whom you've had some rapport,

or the two masked men,

quietly praying that they'll get the opportunity to

crush your skull before the day is out.

Besides, they can't turn your car back on.

You have just started the ignition on the

Everett Lom designed

Empire Predator EL.

Or off.

So, why don't you just pop open that briefcase

and start giving me what I want.

Get rid of them, and we have a deal.

You can't really expect me

to throw away my ace, can you?

I've got a flare here.

I can burn the whole file to a crisp in seconds.

That's not much of a bluff.

At least send them back to the van.

Deal.

Now, I believe you have something for me.

All right.

Little problem here.

Do you have the combination?

What?

No, of course not.

You weren't given it?

I'm not supposed to open it, remember?

Why don't you call up Lom and ask him?

Funny.

Let me think.

Your boss is a bit of a simpleton,

and she said it, so it's likely pretty vanilla.

Try zero, one, two, three.

Nope.

Try one, two, three, four.

Nope.

- Okay, try-- - David, David!

There are 10,000 possible combinations here.

You want me to go through each one of them?

We'll be here until Monday.

You've gotta get inside that case, Kari.

Clock is ticking.

All right. It's just...

Come on.

Let's go.

Keep going, Kari. I'm counting on you.

Come on.

You don't have all night.

What are you doing?

Where are you going?

Three, seven, eight.

That's the last of them.

Well, it'll take me a moment to verify all of this.

It's good.

I'm sure, but typos happen, you know?

Congratulations, Kari.

Everything checks out.

Super.

What now?

Not much.

We've concluded our business.

So we're done?

Yeah.

Shall we talk about the weather?

Vacation plans?

Just turn the car back on, asshole.

I guess the pleasantries are over.

Never let it be said that I'm not a man of my word.

You have just started the ignition on the

Everett Lom designed

You can turn that off, David!

...Predator EL.

It is the fastest, smartest, most powerful,

safest, accident-proof car.

What now?

Sorry. Forgot a detail.

David, we had a deal.

Get them out of here.

He wants his bat back.

Fuck off.

It has sentimental value.

I'm afraid this is a deal breaker.

Tell him to back off.

That seems fair.

There you have it.

Now go!

David, tell him to go.

Don't bring me into this.

You're the one who pissed him off.

Hey, voila.

Uh-huh.

I just wanna say it's been a pleasure.

- Sure. - No, no, I mean it.

I consider myself to be a professional

and endeavor to handle myself

in a professional manner, so I can

appreciate working with someone who behaves likewise.

You kidnapped me and robbed me.

Be that as it may,

you didn't freak out too much or get hysterical.

You maintained your composure at all times.

That's a rare trait.

Seriousness of temperament is a

largely overlooked virtue, I should know.

I'm done talking to you.

Oh, well of course.

I just wanted to thank you

for being such an accommodating victim.

You get so few of those nowadays.

David?

Yes?

Go fuck yourself.

I guess I had that coming.

But have a great weekend.

Feel free to keep the car until Empire figures out it's stolen.

Here you go.

You have just started the ignition on the

Everett Lom designed,

...fastest smartest car ever built.

So take your hands off the wheel and be driven...

Auto drive disengaged.

David, you son of a bitch.

Dammit,

that was supposed to open just as you were driving up.

David, what are you doing? Where am I?

Hold on a second.

Trying to connect to this door.

Hey Kari, remember when

I said this was all about robbing you?

That wasn't entirely true.

Don't fight it Kari, you've been sold.

- It's just the way it is. - You're lying.

How do you think a firm like yours gets a client like Lom?

By offering something

that others won't, and he wanted you.

What for?

Not my area.

Maybe he wants to keep you in a crate like a dog.

Maybe he wants to skin you alive.

I just deliver you.

And on the road?

The files and the money?

What was that?

Don't blame me.

Like I'd have just killed the cameras in the garage

and had Marcus throw you in the trunk.

It's Lom's fetish.

He want people to betray him before he does what he does.

If I hadn't turned over the money, you'd have let me go?

You know, it's never come up.

He won't get away with this. You can't just kill people.

Don't be naive.

People disappear every day. And you're a prime candidate.

Like I've got a program here.

It's wonderful.

You can type anyone's name into it,

and it'll tell you exactly how

many people will miss them if they're gone.

- Do you know your number? - No.

Stadner, comma

Carolyn, Michelle, age 24,

mother died at childbirth, no siblings.

Father killed in an automobile accident seven years ago.

Worked harder than anybody.

Got a law degree in record time.

Made no notable professional or personal connections

Kari, you sit at a desk and comb the internet.

A week from now,

someone else will be sitting at that desk doing that,

and no one will know the difference.

Suzy, she won't believe I ran off.

Yes, Susan Matthews,

age 25, dental assistant, mom deceased,

brother military, stationed in Jordan.

Father living as a sex tourist in Bali.

Fiercely loyal.

She would absolutely do something,

were it not for her taste in men.

Leave Suzy out of this.

Let's say she brings someone home one night,

and that guy replaced the allergy pills

recommended by your boss,

Deborah, with identical pills that do the

same thing, only with a little chemical added in.

One that builds up in your system,

and after three weeks or so, brain aneurysm.

Bad luck for a girl who's roommate embezzled money,

and disappeared a few weeks earlier, but hey, that's life.

I told you to leave her out of this.

I wish I could,

but she knows you too well and we can't have that.

Once she's gone,

the only people who'll remember you are the

bankers who service your student loans.

They'll look for you but they won't find anything.

And then seven years from today,

they'll give up and write off the debt.

A clerk sitting at a keyboard

will move your file from active to inactive,

and that will be the last trace of you.

You need to shut up right now.

They're dead.

All of them?

What do you mean all of them?

Oh, Kari.

Hmm.

A little drowsy, eh.

Yeah, yeah, that happens.

Don't worry.

This normally helps.

It's gonna be a while until you can

play your favorite video game, huh?

God, you're mouthy.

Ha ha ha, you see?

See now that, that right there, that's what I like.

Why are you doing this?

Oh, you're the smart one.

Figure it out.

Because you can't kill your wife?

Oh, please.

Don't try and profile me, get in my head

over some bullshit you found online.

There's not much to get there inside of.

No.

No, you're here.

Because what I want, I get.

If I say I want this now, I get it...

Now.

It's the privilege of being a god.

You're not God.

You just got money.

What's the difference?

You see, your boss understood.

She understood the importance of my business brought to the firm,

so when I felt like I wanted to play,

she found me somebody.

You're not serious.

Debra, she would never do that.

Yeah, I'm sorry, honey, it's true.

Sometimes,

It's some girl looking for an internship.

Other times,

it's a bright young writer coming to pitch me a story.

Either way, Debra would find them,

David would vet them and they all ended up here.

No, I think it bothered her at first, but...

She got over it.

See, that's the power of money.

You're probably thinking to yourself,

how could she do that to another woman?

But you see, the loyalty to their own kind

bullshit is always trumped by cold, hard cash.

- What the fuck? - Oh, relax.

It's just water, which in the end,

does conduct electricity well.

No, you're here because you pissed too many

people off and you're too goddamn presumptuous.

Who the fuck do you think you are telling me to apologize?

Telling me to tank half of my stock.

They should be on their knees thanking

me for allowing them to touch my creation.

What the...

What the...

Come on.

Another... Everett Lom creation?

Shut up.

I'll see how tough you are,

when I'm taking pieces from you.

What... the fuck?

Are you really not surprised?

Shut your mouth.

If you make a sound, I'll gouge your eyes out with a fork.

David, you gotta help me.

You need to.

Sorry, Kari, it's over.

Yes, put me through to anyone at my tools desk.

Tools?

Tools, drills, saws, hammers, fucking tools.

Do I sound like somebody who cares what time it is?

Hello, who am I talking to?

Farhan, Farhan?

Yeah, yeah, can you please tell me why none of my tools are

charging on my fucking induction table?

You better hope not.

I'm the only person in this world that can save your life.

That's a little dramatic.

You're desperate.

That's normal.

Try to accept it with some dignity.

Of course they're my tools.

What the, are you a fucking moron?

Whose tools would I be using?

I'm not the only one he's gonna kill.

What?

Just listen.

Yes, it's plugged in.

Don't you put me on hold.

Fuck.

It's the firmware.

Shut your mouth.

For once.

You shut this place down when you're not using it, right?

There's a bug in the workbench.

There's a good chance that

when you started it, it drained all the

batteries instead of charging them.

Oh.

So you're an expert on induction chargers now?

I'm an expert on everything your shitty company

makes that can get you sued, which is almost everything.

You know I see what you're doing.

You're trying to get me mad enough to kill you right now.

I'm sorry, sweetheart.

I'm gonna have my fun tonight.

I just want you to blame the right person for this shit show.

What?

Yeah, I shot you.

But that's just incompetent organization.

Really?

Who got you shot?

Who's responsible for the two dead

guys over this whole botched assignment?

You want me to kill David?

Only after he suffers for a really long time.

Oh.

You don't know, do you?

David's not real.

He's an AI.

No, he was pretending to be an AI.

I know he's real.

Oh, that's money.

Oh my, you really thought...

He's our prototype concierge.

And I've been beta testing him for months.

No, that's not...

Possible?

It's not possible.

Of course it is.

This entire situation...

it's all of his design.

I gave him the parameters for the

scenario but all the little details...

Oh yeah, that's him.

Real bang up job he did too.

Oh, well.

Here's hoping that Elijah will

nullify some of those little hiccups.

Elijah?

Oh, he's the next one.

Yeah, I'm torching David at the end of the next quarter.

And I want you to know, on my honor,

that I will personally remove the server boards

and you will get your dying wish.

David's toast.

Can you die easy now?

Why am I wasting my breath on you?

You see because my company is worth 4% of the GDP.

I am one of the few who's in the Three Comma Club and in five

years, I'll be the only one in the Four Comma Club.

Do you know what that means?

Hmm?

You get to be coddled like a baby for the rest of your life.

No!

It means that when God goes to bed at night,

he dreams of being me.

Fuck!

Fine!

We'll do it analog.

I guess that's goodbye for the both of us.

He doesn't mean it.

[sighs] No?

Then what happened to Adam?

Who?

Lom's not very creative.

I'm guessing if you're David and Elijah's next,

there has to be earlier versions.

You see, now you...

you don't get to look at me

as some kind of monster and yet look at

yourself as some kind of tragic hero.

You're in his phone, have a look around.

The only thing stopping you from being as awful as me is money.

David?

There's a Baal, a Caleb, shit, there is an Adam.

And everything else...

well that's just what we tell poor people

to keep them that way.

Kari, heads up.

Literally.

You have just started the ignition on

the Everett Lom designed Empire Predator EL.

The fastest, smartest, most powerful,

accident free car, ever built.

So take your hands off that wheel

and be driven to your final destination.

Look at that.

Marcus was right.

This car really is indestructible.

Hey, David.

Yeah?

Why the change of heart?

I know which side my bread is buttered on.

Ass kisser.

Marcus.

Pete.

Ugh, Suzy.

Did you do this?

Destroying evidence is the protocol.

Lom's dead.

Now I have to protect the company.

Gotta keep those servers running.

I do.

And what about me?

Am I endangering your continuing operation?

Look, but it's just business.

No hard feelings, I've put all your money back.

And I'm supposed to just trust you?

Some men are on the way right now, and their

job is to make sure none of this ever happened.

I would advise you to not be here when that happens.

Then, before I go, an act of goodwill that

thing about Suzy's pills, that wasn't idle chatter.

Look into it.

I will.

Hi Deb.

Let's talk about what you do for your clients.

Please, Kari we can talk about this.

No, I'm gonna talk about this.

And you're going to listen, and say yes to everything I want,

or I'll kill you.

What do you want?

30% raise, partner track,

peer supervisor over the other associates.

Is that it?

What, you thought I wanted you to confess

and bring down the firm?

How would that help me?

Seriously, you'll let all of this go?

If I talk, this gets really messy.

Mostly for me.

And if I'm going down for killing

Lom, I might as well kill you too.

But if I play along, everybody wins.

So let's make some fucking money, shall we?

Am I impressing you yet?

Good.

Now if you'll excuse me, I've been awake

for 27 hours and need to get cleaned up.

I'm sure you won't mind if I use your bathroom.

No.

Ah, I'm gonna take the rest of the day off.

That's not a problem, is it?

No.

Okay.

Could you, could you cut me loose?

Hey.

Where have you been?

I've been calling you all night.

Phone died while I was out of town.

Sorry.

So I did something stupid.

Yeah?

Remember Pete, the couch guy?

Sure.

We were texting all day yesterday and I may

have sent him an instantly regrettable photo.

And radio silence?

Yep.

Well, let that be a lesson for the

kind of guys that you let pick up at clubs.

I really don't need a lesson right now.

Do I really say I told you so a lot?

Kari, I love you,

but you're like if I told you so is a person.

By the way, I picked him up.

Oh yeah...

- Here. - What's the package?

Came for you this morning.

You paid my student loan?

One last act of goodwill.

Well, not quite the last.

Check your bank balance.

That's a lot of zeros.

Lom's not gonna need that money anymore.

And what's with the phone?

I'm sentimental.

No, you're not.

No, but I thought we might be able to do some business.

You want me to use my position on the case to ensure that your

servers are marked as live evidence

so you can't be wiped or shut off.

You really are good at your job, aren't you?

And why would I do that?

At some point, there's gonna be something you need.

And I think I've proven myself to be a valuable asset.

I'll be in the office tomorrow.

I'll let you know then.

Kari?

Yes?

You might wanna check the garage.

Where is my car?

This is your car.

Where is my car?

Over there.

What the fuck?

My car!

Relax, it's just a joke.

It's out being detailed.

You have four hours to get it back.

Or else?

I start pulling servers.

Wow, that's harsh.

Thank you for being on hold, I'm Farhan.

Thanks for waiting.

IT suggests rebooting the induction charger.

That should resolve the problem.

Is there anything else I can help you with?

As a valued EMPIRE customer,

we'd like to know about your experience.

Would you mind taking a moment

to let the supervisor know how I did?
