Previously, on
"The Republic of Sarah"...

Sizeable deposit of coltan
has been discovered

right here in Greylock.

This morning Governor Taggert
signed eminent domain paperwork,

which gives Greylock's
public space

to the state
of New Hampshire.

They're gonna wipe Greylock
off the map.

I know how we can stop
the drilling.

This was never legally
claimed by anyone.

Either...
national neighbors

Who's in charge
if the mayor quits?

TYLER: Ms. Cooper.
She saved us.

She should be the leader.

(singing solemn hymn
in foreign language)

(piano plays)

(singing continues)

(singing continues)

[♪ ♪]

(choir joins, harmonizing)

I couldn't take my eyes off you
during your solo.

I noticed. Hopefully,
no one else did, Mrs. Whitmore.

Nobody worries about
us getting caught

more than I do,
but choir practice

is safe. I can stare at you
while you sing,

and everyone will just chalk
it up to my godly passions.

- Right.
- CORINNE: Hey.

Hey.
So, um, I think it's time

for another round
of Fraidy-Cat.

- Mm, mm.
- Sarah's up, so...

You want to target
the leader of our country?

I mean...
Target her for what?

Should I alert
the Secret Service?

AJ: We don't have
a Secret Service.

We should probably
get a Secret Service.

You know, I will put
that on the to-do list,

right underneath
another round of Fraidy-Cat.

Oh.
Okay, Fraidy-Cat?

Oh, it's a game
we played in high school.

It's all about
the element of surprise.

(thud on piano keys)
MAN: What happened?

Gladys?
Gladys!

Gladys? Someone call an
ambulance! Stay with us, Gladys.

Hey, you on break?

What's wrong?

I don't know if you heard,

but my girlfriend's dad
is sending her away

to boarding school
at the end of the week.

Hmm. Well, I don't
know if you heard,

but your girlfriend and her
boyfriend actually just decided

they're not going
to let boarding school ruin

their last few days
together, so...

Here. Look.

What's that?

I organized our work, school

and activities to see
when we'd both be free

to video chat every week.

We can definitely
make this work.

You're incredible.

(both scream)

Yes.
Very funny.

I thought so.
I mean, I thought so.

Oh, my...

(both scream)

Oh, my God.
(laughter)

Damn it!

No, no.

No soup for you, no.

You lost dinner privileges.
What about a soda?

AJ: That's two out of three. If
Corinne catches you... I know.

...in 24 hours, that's five
bucks apiece for the victors.

A, I know how Fraidy-Cat works.

B, it's not gonna happen.
I'm on high alert now.

(both scream)

(laughter) High alert,
huh? Not high enough.

Are you serious?
Inside the fridge? Yes.

Where's all the food?

Outside on the porch.
Nature's icebox.

GROVER: Let's go.
Whip out that Cash App.

Well, pay up,
Madam President.

I'm pretty sure
this qualifies as extortion

of a government official.

- Hmm.
- AJ: Maybe.

Whoa, what's up
with all these fees?

GROVER: What fees?
In my bank account.

There's, like,
extra charges

on all my recent activity.
CORINNE: Ooh, I have 'em, too.

Same.
Same.

- And we all have different banks, right?
- Yeah.

Yeah. - So these fees have got
to be happening everywhere,

- to everyone.
- If all of Greylock

is suddenly paying
extra fees

- on every purchase...
- We have a serious problem.

*THE REPUBLIC OF SARAH*
Season 01 Episode 04

Episode Title: "In Us We Trust"
Aired on: July 05, 2021.

- Morning.
- Morning.

Hey, Josh.

School play?
No.

He, uh, just likes
wearing it.

So what is the deal
with all those extra fees?

They're foreign
transaction fees.

All the banks I called said they
kicked in yesterday. Wait a minute.

I live in Greylock
and I shop in Greylock,

so what part of that counts
as foreign?

The part where
you're still using

an American bank account,
American credit card.

Greylock is now
a sovereign nation.

American banks almost
always charge fees

for purchases made
in other nations.

Even ones that use
the U.S. dollar.

Okay, so everyone
who uses a credit card

in Greylock,
even our own citizens,

gets charged a penalty
for shopping here?

Mm-hmm.

Okay, is there any way
to avoid the fees?

GROVER:
Yep. And it's only

- five minutes away.
- What are you talking about?

U.S. banks don't charge fees
on purchases made in the U.S.

Which means all it takes
to avoid a three-percent torpedo

every time you
swipe your card

is a quick trip down the road
to New Hampshire.

That's an easy choice
for most people.

That three percent
adds up fast.

Not to mention
the local economy.

Take Diego's hardware store.

Why would anyone shop there when
they can get the same hammer

for less, one town over?

My store has been
hemorrhaging cash for weeks.

Same thing goes for
all the shops on Main Street.

And that was before this
foreign transaction fee thing.

Won't be long before
we all go under.

Oh, no.
We're not losing Greylock.

Burning the midnight oil, I see.

Oh, yeah. I'm not
gonna be able to sleep

until we figure out this
transaction fee situation.

I don't want to
interrupt your work,

but I want to
ask you a favor

before I lose my nerve.

Nerve was never something
you were short on, Mom.

What is it?

AA's not working for me.
Are you sure

it's not the other way around? It's only
been three weeks. I've gone to a meeting

every night of those three
weeks. You can't give up, Mom.

I'm not giving up, Sarah.
I'm not giving up.

The nightly meetings,
they aren't enough.

I need more.

I want to try rehab.

Oh, wow, Mom.

That's a great idea.

Okay, what's the favor? Yeah.

The place that I chose requires
that you have

a "sobriety supporter."

You would drive me
to the facility

and help me check in, and then

you would exchange letters
with me during the program.

Would you consider it?
Yeah, yeah, of course. Mom...

I'm really proud of you.

(TV sportscaster
speaking loudly in other room)

(sportscaster continues)

(keys clacking)

(sportscaster continues
indistinctly)

(knock on door)

Grover. Um...

what are you...
Doing here?

Lydon bulldozed my house,
remember?

Yeah, they're paying for my room
until I find somewhere new.

Right, right, um...
sorry about that.

The thing is, uh, I have a,
I have a meeting in the morning,

like, a big meeting,

and would you mind just
turning the volume

on the TV down

just a little bit?

(sportscaster continues loudly)

SPORTSCASTER:
And Martin wins the draw,

flips it to Johnson
along the boards.

It's a footrace,
but Moon gets there...

(sportscaster continues)
(sighs)

(TV volume increases)

SPORTSCASTER:
He scores! Gabowsky...

SARAH:
It only gets worse from here.

Worse how?

As long as we're tied
to American currency, our fate

is in American hands. Okay,
so how do we get it back

into Greylockian hands?

Greylockian. Is that,
is that what we're going with?

I've been saying Greylockish.

-Greylockese.
- CORINNE: What about Greylench?

Like France, French.
Greylock, Greylench.

Okay, so using American cash
screws us.

What other cash is there?

Greylock cash.

Yeah, but we can't just
print our own money.

We can if we have
a resource to back it.

The American dollar was
originally backed by gold.

AJ:
Yeah, we don't have gold.

No, we have coltan. We could
back our money with that.

Okay, if we tried this,
what comes next?

Greylock Mutual becomes
our central bank.

We set an initial
exchange rate,

convince people to buy
Greylock bucks.

But before any of that,
we get to design our own money.

Think what that will do
for our national identity.

An independent currency...
means no more fees.

It builds up Greylock's
economy in the short term.

It guarantees stability
for the long term.

If we really want freedom,
this is how we get it.

If it works.

It has to work.

SARAH:
Is it too big? The bulge?

Ms. Cooper,
this is John Stark.

Dude led a colonial
militia that took down

Britain's entire
northern army

with nothing but
hunting rifles and swag.

He invented the phrase
"Live free or die."

You really think he had
a small bulge? (laughs)

You know you don't gotta
do this all by yourself.

Yeah, that's why
you guys are here.

We, not me, right? Yeah,
but you filling the table

with new designs before
Corinne and I show up

makes we feel like you and us.

Oh, I'm sorry. But I know
you like to be in control...

No, no, it's not a control
thing, it's a time thing.

The faster we get this
currency into circulation,

the faster we save the economy.

Hey, what is all this?

SARAH:
It's inspiration.

It's different currencies
from around the world.

CORINNE: These are money?
SARAH: They were.

In Micronesia.
They're called rai stones.

The more people who died trying
to transport one of the stones,

the more valuable it was.

Charming.
Mm.

Do we even need
a physical currency?

Couldn't Greylock's
money be Bitcoin?

Mm-hmm. That's what I said.

I don't want to scare
anyone off by announcing

we're switching
to Internet bucks.

This only works
if everyone buys in.

CORINNE:
They will.

Yeah, they better.

Okay, I have to go buy glitter.

You guys are on design duty.

Thank you.
Glitter?

You can mix it in a blender
to make color-changing ink.

Super effective
anti-counterfeiting trick.

Hmm. Is there any way we can
make the bulge a little bigger?

(clears throat)

Hello? Hello.

Sorry, we're down a receptionist
at the moment.

Can we help you?
Yes.

Um, I would like to
report a crime. Vandalism.

My mailbox was... vandaled.

I've got patrol,
but, uh, Johnson!

It's all you, Johnson.

Oh. Okay.

Thank you.

Well, ma'am,

as the only officer
in the building,

I suggest you file a statement.

With me.

In my office.

(AJ chuckles)

Ah, that thing
with your tongue...

That thing
with your fingers.

That thing with the...

The handcuffs, yep.
...the handcuffs.

What did you do to that?

Oh, I whacked it
with a rolling pin.

How else was I supposed
to see you?

Choir is suspended

until Gladys recovers
from her heart attack.

Well, you know,
tampering with mail

is a serious offense.

You're gonna have to
get those handcuffs, then.

Don't tempt me.
(knock on door)

One second!

Yeah?

Sorry, there's no receptionist,

but I do need a signature.

It's heavy. You want me to...
Oh, no, it's...

Right there is good.
Okay.

Thanks.

He's gone.

(sighs)

It's safe.

No.

No, none of this is safe.

SARAH:
I don't like this place.

You don't have to like it.
You're not the one going.

Sound baths and sweat lodges.

It's supposed to be rehab,
not Burning Man.

My mom needs a normal program

at a normal facility.

Since when have you been
interested in anything normal?

Chakra revival is not
one of the 12 Steps,

last I checked.

The 12 Steps were invented
by two old white dudes.

Your mother
is a modern woman.

Maybe she needs
a modern approach.

Maybe she needs her
head examined. Maybe

her daughter needs to learn
that she can't control

every detail
of other people's lives.

It's not other people's lives,
Corinne.

It's my mother.

Pass me that wing, will you?

Is this
Josh's bumblebee costume?

Some little turd in his class
made fun of him

and ripped the wing off,
so I have to fix it

'cause he wants to wear it
to Cub Scouts.

He wants to wear it again even
though he's gonna get teased?

Yeah, he watched the documentary
about how the bees are dying,

so it's his thing now.

Well, it's not the choice
that I would make,

but I can't live his life
for him.

Wait, I guess that you could say

I choose to support him

even though
I don't totally agree with him.

I see what you did there.

Um, I would rather wear
a bumblebee costume myself

than let my mom go

to some stupid
hippie commune.

I want to find her somewhere...

I want to find her
somewhere better,

somewhere
that will actually work.

Aw, that's cute.

And they're also not together.

He's also kind of a douche.

How many of these relationships

We're still a couple, aren't we?

Yeah, of course.

I'm sorry Lewis made fun
of you again, sweetie,

stayed on this time, right?

I don't want to talk about it.

Look, I know that
it hurts now,

but I love that costume,
and I'm so proud of you

for giving it another shot.

I said I don't want to talk.

Wait, Josh.

Josh. Honey? Josh...
(gasps)

Josh, sweetie?

Whoa! Slow down there,
Mr. Bumblebee.

I, uh, think you
dropped something.

Looks like,
looks like an antenna.

Very important.
You need one of these

to, like, smell
and-and feel and...

And measure wind speed.

Want to tell me
what's going on, what's wrong?

Josh!

Anyone can wear pants
and a T-shirt.

It takes a real superstar
to rock one of these.

(panting)

CORINNE:
Josh?

Go wait by the car.
Stay on the sidewalk.

What the hell are you doing?

I'm just trying to help.

I don't need your help, Danny.

I've been doing fine
without you.

CORINNE: Before you
die, you see the Ring.

Okay, that's actually
Harriet E. Wilson,

the first African American
to publish a novel

on this continent. Oh...

Yeah, and I'm sure
that this is exactly

how she would want
to be remembered.

No. Hey. Maya.

Yeah. The ink balance is off.

Ugh. Bailey Pond looks like
the La Brea Tar Pits.

Bella?

Thought we agreed that
we were gonna spend time

as a family before
you leave for Cabot.

Well, I would rather be
with my friends.

Bella, don't be difficult, okay?

Or what, Dad, you'll ship me
off to boarding school again?

Let's go. Come on.

Bye, guys.
Bye, you guys.

- Bye.
- SARAH: Hey, William, cut her some slack.

She's just sad about leaving.

Can't blame her if she's a little
snippy. WILLIAM: Oh, don't worry.

When it comes
to my daughter losing her way,

I know exactly who to blame.

Just happy to be
getting her out of Greylock

before your latest scheme
implodes.

Oh, "scheme."
That's not patronizing at all.

If you launch a currency
and it fails,

the results
could be devastating.

Have you ever heard of Nauru?
Yes.

Tiny island country in
Micronesia, big on phosphate.

You do know I was a, I was
a teacher before this, right?

Well, Nauru bet its future
on its resources,

and when they were gone,
the whole island

imploded in bankruptcy.

Okay, we get it,
Debbie Downer.

But for every Nauru
there's a Norway, another place

that bet its future
on its natural resources

and has one of the wealthiest,

most stable economies
on Earth because of it.

This is a mistake.

SARAH:
I want you to know

that I... I support you
going to rehab, 100%.

But?

But not this rehab. It's
just not the right path.

There are many different
pathways to sobriety

and many, many different
possible outcomes.

It's not an exact science.

Mom, this isn't science at all.

I did some research. I found
a few places of my own.

(sighs)

Okay, we got Green Rapids,
Whispering Ranch, Clear Meadows.

Well, they all sound
like salad dressing.

Mom, these are
accredited facilities.

They have
impeccable reputations,

they have licensed therapists.

Wouldn't you be more comfortable...
Yes, I'm sure that I would be.

Okay, fine... But the point
is to be uncomfortable.

And I believe
that my choice

is gonna push me

right out of my comfort zone
and into real change.

Okay. And they're
not going to admit me

unless I have you by my side.

Chakra revival.

Sarah, the next session starts
in two days.

Please.

We need to be
on the road by tomorrow.

Mom, any rehab in this pile.

Any one of these,

I will get in the
car right now.

But I-I can't... I'm not
taking you to that other place.

I just don't trust it.

Well, you trust me. Come on.

(whispers):
Mom.

You waiting for Godot
or something?

(both laugh softly)

Spoiler alert,
he's not coming.

I thought I was
the only person

who came out here
to think.

SARAH:
I, um...

I just told Mom I wouldn't
take her to the rehab facility

she wants to go to,
which means she can't go.

Why would you do that?

If you saw this place,
you'd understand.

It's a joke.

I don't want
to set her up for failure.

Look, Mom could get eaten
by a shark tomorrow

and I wouldn't lose any sleep
over it, but I got to ask.

Are you really afraid
of her failing?

Or are you afraid
that she might actually succeed?

What the hell
are you talking about?

You've been picking her up
off the floor all these years.

It's-it's become who you are.
You're-you're in control.

You're a fixer.

But what happens if Mom
doesn't need fixing anymore?

I picked Mom up
because someone had to.

It sure as hell
wasn't gonna be you.

You disappeared.

Is there any chance you could
repeat that trick for us now?

Hi, Auntie Sarah.

Hi, Josh.

Wow,

looks like you started a trend.

I wore my outfit to school again
this morning.

You don't quit, do you, buddy?
Quitting's for quitters.

When Lewis tried to be mean
to me this time,

I told him how bees can fly
up to 15 miles per hour.

And how they
never sleep.

I know the feeling.
So now

Lewis likes bees
even more than me.

And he told everybody
how cool bees are.

Now everyone has
their own bee outfit.

And now look at you,
leader of a whole hive.

Auntie Sarah,

a group of bees
is called a swarm, not a hive.

Thank you, Josh.

GROVER: There
they are. We pulled out

all the stops
for Bella's last meal.

BELLA: I'm gonna
miss Sweetie Pie.

GROVER: And Sweetie Pie's
gonna miss you, too.

But don't worry,
we're gonna send plenty

of cupcakes to
Connecticut.

Oh. Have fun at
school, Bella.

I'm sure you're gonna make
a lot of new friends.

I doubt it. I'm coming in
in the middle of the semester.

Everyone there already
knows each other. Yeah, well,

I'm sure they're gonna
be fighting to know you.

I mean, come on.
The badass rebel

that got deported by
the National Guard?

Instant street cred.

We should eat.
Bella still has packing to do.

Okay.

Let's go, sweetheart.

Okay.

I'll be your sobriety
support person.

I'll drive you to rehab
in the morning.

What made you change your mind?

A swarm of bees.

I'm not gonna stand in
the way of your choice

just because it isn't the one
I would make.

Thank you. Thank you.

Yes!

That's what I'm talking about.

(exhales)

Thanks again
for coming over, man.

Especially after I was...
kind of a dick the other night.

It's all good.

Yeah, I really needed
this after the last

couple of days I had.

Mm. What'd you do?

Nothing, but that didn't stop
Corinne from biting my head off.

Man, you probably deserved it.

Okay, look,

I get what I did
back then was wrong,

but she's-she's married.

She's a mom. I just...

I figured
she was over it by now.

Over it?

(stammers)

Do you have any idea
what you put that girl through?

After you
disappeared,

she didn't eat, didn't sleep,
wouldn't talk to anyone.

We weren't sure
that she'd ever get over it.

I don't know what was
going through your head

when you took off, and I'm sure
you had your reasons,

but I've never seen anything

like what you put
Corinne through.

So, like I said, if she tried
to rip your head off,

you probably deserved it.

(indistinct chatter)

Hi!

Has it been like this
all day?

Yeah.

This is great.
We're gonna sell out in no time.

Sarah.
Hi!

Hi, Diego.
Sarah.

Yeah. They're not here
to buy Greylock money.

They're here to take their
American money out. What?

Everyone's worried
about losing their money

if our currency fails

and if Greylock's economy tanks.

No, for this to work,
everyone needs to buy in.

If they're pulling
their money out,

our economy's doomed.

So is Greylock.

This new currency is a solution
to all of our problems.

Why didn't people buy in?
What are they afraid of?

CORINNE:
It's a big change, Sarah.

Money is life.
It puts food on the table.

It keeps a roof
over your head.

And for the folks
in this town,

it's green and it has
U.S. presidents on it.

I mean, giving that up
to invest in something so new

and so unproven is...

Scary. Not as scary as what's

gonna happen to Greylock
if they don't get on board.

I need
to reframe

the conversation,

help people
get over their fears.

I'm gonna host...

an open meeting
tomorrow morning at town hall.

No, you're not. You're taking
your mom to rehab in the morning.

No, guys, this is a crisis.
AJ: That we can handle

until you get back.
It's a three-day trip.

I can't be gone that long.

What kind of a leader
does that make me?

Type of leader that shows up
for their family.

And the kind that has friends
she can trust

to step up for her.
I do trust you guys,

but I-I think
I have to be here for this.

No. No. No.

What if I call the rehab place?

Maybe they can make an
exception. OTHERS: No!

Nice try.
This crisis

could be
an extinction-level event

for Greylock's economy.
And your mom

missing the check-in
window could be

an extinction-level
event for her sobriety.

Yeah, it's
a hard decision,

which is why
we made it for you.

GROVER:
Sarah,

we got you.

That dinner was like a two-hour
customer service call.

(chuckles) My dad
always defaults to bank talk

when he gets anxious.

TYLER: On the plus side, I
learned a lot about index funds.

(chuckles softly)

Tomorrow night
will be just you and me.

I promise it won't be boring.

You still want to go
to Phoebe's party?

Her parents are out of town.

Sounds like the whole school's
going to show up.

Hey, I'm gonna have
to call you back.

Okay, bye.

Sorry to interrupt.

I know that you and Tyler
want to make the most

of every minute before you go.

Have you guys talked
about how things will change

when you get
to school?

Who says things have to change?

I just think...

...it might be hard to live
two lives at once.

ELLEN:
Still no reception?

SARAH:
Nothing.

I have no way to know
how Greylock is doing.

Can't even send a text.
(chuckling)

I fail to see what's so funny.

I'm just remembering
that papier-mâché

volcano you made in sixth grade.

And how the night before
you turned it in, it collapsed.

If you're about to draw
some ham-fisted parallel

between the collapse
of my country's economy

and a science fair volcano,
I swear to God I will push you

into traffic. Don't you remember
what happened after it collapsed?

Mm-mm.
Corinne, she came over.

She spent all night
helping you build a new one.

And then there was
the time when AJ,

she drove your laptop
to Dartmouth

because you forgot it
during Christmas break.

And then I think Grover
cooked dinner for your

entire field hockey team...

before you left
for state finals.

Yeah, I'm not great
at letting go.

No kidding.

But if you have to,

you could do a whole lot worse
than handing

the wheel over to your friends.

AJ:
This is a dumpster fire.

We've been sitting here
for seven hours and we still

have no clue how to get people
to buy into the money.

There are some good
ideas up there. Corinne,

"call Lin-Manuel Miranda" is not a
good idea. Of course it's a good idea.

I was in the room where
it happened. What about

incentives? Everybody
likes free stuff.

Ooh, my gym gave
me a free toaster

when I bought
a membership.

Where are we supposed
to find 2,000 toasters?

It doesn't have
to be actual toasters.

Air fryer on the other hand.
Right? Oh, I need an air fryer.

GROVER: Yeah. I need a break.

CORINNE: Okay, well, with
Gladys down for a while,

I told people that
I would unlock

the choir cabinets,
so they can

grab their music
if they want.

I'll come with you.

I'll keep... thinking.

Being a world leader sucks.

How does Sarah deal
with all the stress?

Two words... mosh pit.

(chuckles)

Hey, Alexis.

Hey, thanks for this.

I've been meaning
to come get my stuff.

Yeah. Um...

I'm just gonna bring
this to Gladys

and then check on Josh.

Be back
at Sweetie Pie in an hour?

Yeah, yeah.
Great.

Bye.

Hey.

Oh, so you can
see me now?

Based on last night,

I thought I was invisible.

Look, I'm sorry. I just...

Before now, when I would
see you on the street,

you'd at least say hello.

Make eye contact.
Come on.

We're not secret agents, Lex.

We're in the choir together,
people know we're friends.

There's no reason for you
to treat me like I don't exist.

It's just, since what happened
at the station,

almost getting caught?

I can't help feeling
like everyone's looking at me.

Like they know about us,
like they know

what we're doing
when we're not at choir.

I saw you at Sweetie Pie
and I just...

I froze.

I'm not trying
to blow up your life, Alexis.

I know there are limits to us.

But is it really so much to ask

for you
to acknowledge my existence?

To treat me like I'm more
than just a warm body.

Guess that's my answer.

You know...

of all the things
you made me feel...

I never thought
cheap would be one of them.

No. Say it ain't so.

I wish I could.

Diego, man.

I never would have
finished my house

if it wasn't for your store,
your expertise.

You're the heart and soul
of Greylock.

We should be putting you
on the flag.

It's like my dad used to say

when he was going bald.

You don't know
what you got till it's gone.

(locks door)

CORINNE:
Hear me out.

Trading in
1,000 American dollars

for Greylock bucks gets you
a two-slot toaster. 5,000

gets you four slots.
10,000

gets you one of those
fancy conveyor belt things

like they have
in college dining halls.

- What's with you and the toast, like...?
- GROVER: I got a plan.

We're gonna need
wood and paint.

A lot of paint.

Oh, I can smell

the patchouli from here.

You coming?

What if I can't?
What if I fail?

You might.

You've given better pep talks.

You also might succeed, Mom.

The only way you're gonna
find out is to try.

You've taken a really big step
in getting to this moment.

You owe it to yourself
to see it through.

So you support this place?

(woman chanting)

Um...

yeah...

I support you.

I used to think there was
only one way to do that,

my way, but it's
your recovery, Mom, not mine.

If you feel
like this is the place

where you belong, then this

is the place
where you belong and

I'm gonna be right here
when it's over.

Okay. I'm ready.

Okay.

Let's go get you healthy.

It's about time.
(laughs)

CORINNE:
Me again.

Leaving another message
like it's 1998.

How are you still
out of cell range?

Should I send
a raven or a...?

(groans) I got to go.

But if I'm honest, it does

We've been trying to call you.
What's wrong with my phone?!

What's wrong with my country?
What's happened?

Okay.
(sighs)

Have a seat.

Two days ago, Diego's store
went out of business.

Everyone took his hardware
store for granted,

just like they took
Greylock for granted.

You don't know what you got
till it's gone.

In order to get people to buy
into the currency,

we had to make them believe,

if they didn't,
Greylock would disappear.

We had to make 'em feel it.

So we made Greylock disappear.

AJ, Corinne and I talked to
every business on Main Street.

We got a bunch of signs and
boarded up all the windows,

and voilà.

It's all fake?

I prefer the term "counterfeit."

Do you really think
this plan will work?

It already has.

When people woke up
and realized what not buying

into the currency would
actually cost them,

they headed straight
to the bank.

They reopened their accounts?

And they bought out
the entire first run

of Greylock's currency.

You did it?
No, we did it.

(laughing)

All of us did it.
Thank you.

Thank you for having my back
when I needed to let go.

Well, you didn't let go.

We removed your stubborn ass
by force.

(chuckles) You reminded
people how lucky they are

to have Greylock.

Reminded me how lucky I am
to have you.

You should've seen your face
when you came in.

We basically pulled off
the biggest scare

in the history of Fraidy-Cat.

I am gonna get you back.
Oh.

Don't worry.

I have more free time,

It means I'm sorry.
