Julie?

Julie, we have a doctor's appointment today.

- Come on, Julie, can't miss another one.

Julie, it's Beth. Let me in.

Julie, let me in.

Thanks to the dominance of the patriarchal Western medical tradition.

This tradition's focus on rationality and experimentation

-has sidelined the crucial... Julie!

Julie! Julie! Julie!

Julie.

Julie, come on.

911 emergency.

Yes, this is Dr. Beth Duque. I need an ambulance over at 236 Sycamore.

I have a female, age 32, unresponsive.

Sending an ambulance now. - Julie.

It's important to trust this ancient wisdom.

Pulse is rapid and thready.

-To trust yourself and to trust me. - Honey, stay with me, okay?

-Remember, we're in this together. - They're on their way.

Thank you guys so much for coming.

I wanted you to see all the supplements and other products my sister bought.

I just got through visiting her at the hospital,

so the thought of bringing all of this to the office...

"Himalayan Chakra Rebalancing Extract."

Why was your sister taking all this stuff?

Because she was sick.

We don't know what it is.

And I'm a doctor, so I know how that sounds, but...

We think it was an autoimmune disorder.

Testing came back inconclusive, so we've been keeping her on medication

just to control the symptoms, but it has been three years of suffering.

Hmm.

She started looking online and found Bronwyn Lark.

If this Bronwyn is selling fake medication, then that's a crime.

- Um, food supplements, right? - Mm-hmm.

See, the FDA treats food and drugs differently.

A drug has to prove that it's safe, but a food or dietary supplement

is considered safe until it's proven unsafe.

You can't take it off the shelves until it's actually hurt people.

Very good.

And you know this because...?

- Evil lawyer. - Evil lawyer, yeah.

And does Bronwyn tell people to stop taking their meds?

No, but she walks right up to the line,

saying that Western medication interferes with the healing traditions,

so patients aren't getting their cancer treatments.

Parents aren't giving their kids the medicine they need.

Instead, they're relying on this.

I've been tracking the media reports around her company.

Hundreds of people like Julie are sick.

But they haven't met the necessary requirements

for the government to get involved,

and by the time they do, thousands will be sick.

Hundreds, I assure you, will be dead, and it's gonna be too late.

All right, Bronwyn Lark.

After a decent acting career and a slightly more successful

"getting her picture in People magazine for dating problematic dudes" career,

she retired and then rebranded herself a wellness maven.

She had just enough camera presence and fame

so that she stood out from other amateurs in the online wellness world,

and her business, Enlyven, with a "Y,"

is the fastest growing influencer brand in the region.

I mean, they sell everything.

Everything from $200 eye cream to $50 crystals.

And this is...?

She's coordinating an op between the Korean Leverage team

and the Nigerian team.

And the knives?

It's probably part of the con. I don't know, it's Parker.

Maybe it's Knife Day.

Anyway...

So Bronwyn's childhood friend, Melanie Brown, PhD,

is a real doctor and her expertise is in nutrition and immunology,

so she runs the combo spa and laboratory at Enlyven.

As her business partner, she gives Bronwyn

just the right words to sound legit,

and then Bronwyn sells access.

So you buy a few products, you get an email from her.

Buy a lot more, get a video chat.

Drop a thousand on that junk, and you get a weekend at the spa with her.

This is a very small team for a con of this scope.

Well, that's because she doesn't make any of her own products,

so she spends crazy money buying out these, like,

indie health products that are making a splash, rebrands them,

pushes them out as her own.

Some of them are fairly useless.

Okay, but some of them have nasty side effects.

She turns over the products so quickly, though, none of it sticks to her.

So she's a shark.

She's gotta keep eating, she's gotta keep moving, or she dies.

That's how we get her.

You ever fought a shark?

Yes. That's not--

The point is, is that we poison her food.

I see where you're going.

She overinvests in launching new products.

So if we sell her a product that fails spectacularly,

then her company and her reputation fails.

Can I just ask the question, should we even be doing this?

I mean, we have a whole stack of other cases.

And this does seem like one of those moments

where they brought it on themselves.

I mean, I do feel bad and all, but they use the products.

In fact, if you don't mind me saying so,

it sounds a little bit like the con that you used to do.

This is about the evil lawyer crack earlier, isn't it?

No, no, no. The difference is the Rabbit Hole.

Breanna.

So, uh, let's say you're, like, a smart person and you have a problem.

You wanna be responsible, do some online research.

So use a search engine or social media.

The problem is those are driven by algorithms.

Right, so algorithms, they point you to sites

that have the most engagement, but not necessarily the most accurate.

So Bronwyn is using this common tactic to game the system.

She created this whole network of fake websites

and social media accounts that all refer back to a central site,

drives the traffic up.

So, say, you're a smart person and you want to do some research,

and you want to look for other sources, it doesn't matter.

You're gonna get bounced back, fall deeper into the Rabbit Hole.

The more you research, the further down they drive you.

And that is how Grandma learns about space lasers.

- So stupid.

You can also fine tune the Rabbit Hole, right?

I mean, design it to pull the relevant search terms.

Yes, so I can tell you exactly what phrases Bronwyn is grabbing.

She's specifically targeting women.

Women get misdiagnosed, like, 30% of the time,

and it takes two years longer to get that diagnosis.

What?

Hell, that's how they almost killed Serena.

You see, I targeted the powerful and trapped them with their desires.

She targets the powerless, and she traps them with their pain.

She tasks me.

And I shall have her.

What's going on with the knives today?

- And out.

We are all one.

One with each other.

We are all sisters joined in eternal...

And that is all the time we have left on silver package.

Thank you, bye-bye.

Bronwyn, I just wanna talk you about my symptoms.

Mm-hmm. Download the Wynner app.

The app is where we collect all of our expertise

and advise the best products to purchase for your issues.

Remember, it's for entertainment purposes only.

Bye!

I just read some exciting new research on inflammation-reducing diets.

Oh. Ooh, I do not want to tell people to eat beets. Beets are not sexy.

They can be. Deeply.

Can you find something with, like, magnets or space metals?

We're starving for financing,

and Chad Deihle has been hitting me up on social.

I think he's looking to invest.

The tech guy?

The tech guy? He is a Bitcoin financial wizard.

Calling him "the tech guy" is like calling him...

I mean, who's someone awesome in your field?

Rosalind Franklin. She's--

No. A famous person.

- Uh... - Oh, I gotta post a post-yoga post.

Okay.

Okay.

All right.

Hey, Wynners, I just got finished with a very spiritual yoga practice

where we really got in touch with our inner Artemis.

Why don't you be W-Y-wynners and check out our storefront?

Let's Bron-wyn together.

- So good.

Anyway...

He is super into technology, so find me something sci-fi,

like, I don't know, tiny robots.

Nanoparticles.

Tiny robots are real?

Yeah.

Bonus.

Okay, we just need to find something hot

that'll get him to dump a bunch of cash our way.

We're running very thin on... H?

H? What's H?

All of the wellness influencers are running this logo.

This is the hotness.

"Coming soon." Not out yet.

Yes.

We can brand this.

But is it a product? A service?

Oh, who cares?

Find it.

Okay, so first, we seed the ground by paying influencers

to post our mysterious letter "H."

How much did that cost us?

Sponcon?

Depends on the reach, but could go for about $200 a pop.

Then my bot army goes in, amplifies the posts,

and then we get that hashtag trending.

We hit peak saturation at exactly the time

Bronwyn will be checking her feed, every day, same time,

right after yoga.

Privacy is dead.

Yeah, my generation doesn't really know what that means.

She uses her reputation to hurt people,

and she's nothing without it.

Let's go steal her fame.

What is this?

Where the bees are. I told you, we're going to an apiary.

Oh, I was expecting apes. This is better. Hello!

Oh, my gosh, you're Bronwyn Lark! You're famous!

- I am, and I am.

Doris Bask, freelance media consultant.

This is my assistant, Zazi.

Hank! Get over here!

- Hank!

Bronwyn Lark is here!

Damn it, Doris, the bees are sleeping!

Sorry. Shh.

Hank, this is Bronwyn Lark and this is...

A-and Melanie Brown.

Our company, Enlyven, is curious about your product, Mr. Hank.

Hank.

Hank's Honey Creme, skin care rejuvenation.

Hank and I are business partners.

Much like you, Ms. Brown, with Ms. Lark.

Some partnership! I do all of the work!

All right? I--I tend to the bees.

I listen to their eternal song.

I--I interpret their every need by a delicate dance that they do.

You put H's on everything!

That's your social media campaign?

You have talent.

That means so much to me for you to say that about me to me.

Mr. Hank, you need to appreciate Doris.

It doesn't matter how good your product is,

if it doesn't get out there, it will fail.

Melanie and I have the same relationship.

Her health company, with all of its science and research,

was dying until I came along and helped her.

I wouldn't-- I wouldn't say dying.

We would love to get our product on your website.

It's-- It's not her product, it's my product, it's their product,

and I don't know if I'm ready

to share this sweet nectar with strangers.

We have very attractive terms.

Melanie, the offer documents.

They're in the car. I thought I'd look at the research first and...

- Sorry. Sorry.

I'll get them. I'll get them.

- Yeah. Thank you.

Zazi, go and get our perspectives from the car, too.

- Oh. - Oh.

Ooh.

Ooh.

He likes you.

Doris, let's go on a walk.

He's a bit of a handful.

Oh, you know people like him,

they just can't believe their dreams will come true without the dream seller.

Mm-hmm. Let me take him off your hands.

- Ah. - I have a financier, Chad Deihle.

You know, the Bitcoin genius,

and he is looking to invest in a product with me.

Let's make it this one.

We'll buy you out.

I was thinking partnership.

- Mm. - But hear me out.

My media campaign got you to drive all the way out here.

Imagine what I could do for your other products.

I want to learn from you, Bronwyn. You get people to believe in themselves.

No, I get them to believe in me.

You see, that's it. That's the kind of insight that...

I hope that your partner understands how lucky she is.

We could use a little new blood in the business. Come on.

Stupid. Stupid!

Do better, Melanie.

Uh, hey.

You know, for what it's worth,

I think it's pretty cool you having PhD's and stuff.

As Bronwyn points out, PhD's don't move products.

Yeah, right. My boss is pretty mercenary, too.

But hey, someday we'll be in charge, right?

Just understand, it doesn't matter if you want to help people,

if nobody will listen to you.

Some people are born to be in front.

Got the buyout forms.

Oh, no, this is a partnership.

W-We didn't talk about a--

Partnership?

Yes, partnership.

Well, then we do it the old way.

Oh.

Oh.

The golden nectar...

Of eternal life.

Ooh. It's so very so-- Yeah.

Come on, I'm totally ready.

Ninety percent of jumping off buildings is proper preparation.

Not until you take your test.

Right, I'm gonna go meet this Chad Deihle with Bronwyn.

Hey there, partnership.

I thought the whole plan was to buy Hank's honey

and put her deeper in the hole, and then take her company.

Yes, it was, but we weren't expecting this outside money from this Chad guy,

and I decided that, you know, if we partner,

I can manage the con from the inside.

Or...

Or what?

I mean, I'm with Harry on this one.

I mean, this chick hasn't gotten just a little bit under your skin?

She's an actress and a con woman. Why would-- oh, I get it.

Good one, Harry.

Question, could we take it a little easy on Melanie?

I'm starting to feel like she's less of an accomplice

and more just stuck with a bad friend.

Like Bronwyn's her personal Rabbit Hole.

Oh, well, she's part of a company that's defrauding vulnerable people

and putting them in hospital, so...

I'm not making any promises,

and I'm not justifying myself to you or anyone.

Right.

All right, here we go.

Go up!

Ah.

Yes!

Great work. Let's go to lunch. Yeah.

Anyway, uh... uh...

Can I get a little help here? Can I just get a little help?

Hey, 90% of jumping off buildings is preparation,

10% is learning to hang off them.

See you later.

Eliot, grab me a chalupa, the one that I like,

and a juice.

Do you want to see $40 million?

Absolutely.

My fortune comes from the digital currency exchange,

- Crownscoin, that I created.

Millions in digital currency are exchanged there every day.

- And this is my personal fortune.

This is the future of money. It exists only in bits and bytes.

Bitcoin. Blockchain-based digital currency.

If this were gold, you could steal it from me.

If it were cash, you could counterfeit it.

But this is completely worthless unless I type in the 12-word key phrase

to this secure computer and unlock it.

It can't be faked. It cannot be stolen.

Incredible.

Much like I am the architect of the spirit,

you are the architect of the future.

And it explains the security.

Eivor? Oh, no, he just makes a good smoothie.

Now, I am going to give $5 million

to launch your bee cream.

We are so excited about the bee cream.

- I do not care about the bee cream. - Oh.

Bronwyn, I care about your customers.

- Well, I care about my customers. Yes.

I do not care about your customers.

I care about the hundreds of thousands of distinct users

who have filled out health questionnaires.

Uh, we've had nearly a million, although not all of them

have purchased any product yet.

Oh, who cares about the sales of physical objects?

That's so 18th century.

- I care-- - You care about the data.

Very good.

Doris, right?

And why, Doris, do I care about their data?

Well, you say data, I say data.

- You say potato.

Because it's hundreds of thousands of people sharing their pain.

Their weaknesses, their fears.

Hell, I can crosstab and find out who bought the stupidest stuff off your site.

- No offense. - Don't care.

To see who is the most desperate, and then I can monetize that database.

Like, have you ever thought about how many of your customers

must be in financial distress because of their illnesses?

I have not.

- We can sell those names. - Oh. Oh.

To loan services, financial advisors.

I will so absolutely launch a bee cream

if it means thousands more people are gonna come to your site

and give you their data, which we can use to target them.

And hey, you already did half the job with that really nice viral H campaign.

Oh, well, that was Doris.

I see a lot of potential in her.

Actually, I see a lot of me in her.

Oh.

Product launch is about to start, according to Bronwyn's social media.

Are you sure we're ready?

For the past week, I've been coordinating

the campaign across five different time zones,

so I haven't had any sleep in five different time zones.

Is it safe for the bees to be in here?

Staging! Theater!

Chad is giving us $5 million to launch this campaign.

We have to make a splash.

Just don't bump the boxes.

Three, two...

Wynners!

A few weeks ago,

everyone's social was abuzz with our virtual marketing campaign.

Today, I get to reveal the product, and it is something that I, Bronwyn Lark,

promise will change skin care.

Its healing properties are unparalleled.

Its soothing qualities are unmatched.

- Now. - Pew!

-Its comforting abilities are unrivaled. And the media blitz begins.

This bee cream is top of the line.

You'll never experience...

Sorry, uh, you people keep lighting up my...

Oh.

Breaking news at Channel 6.

Hank's Bee Farm is in a sticky situation after the authorities...

The city is in a buzz over the controversy

that the bee cream was never FDA approved.

It was the bees! The bees told me to do it!

The bees told me!

It's unknown how many bodies have been found

on the property and the question is...

They said Hank's Honey Creme would heal my rash!

Oh, this is great.

How could we didn't wait till after the announcement?

Well, we're piggybacking off of Bronwyn's feed.

Most of my accounts are fake,

so I had to create a little firestorm amongst her followers.

And I didn't want to give her time to react.

I mean, her audience needs to see her

reputation and fame destroyed in real time.

Oh.

Like I was saying,

this bee cream industry is filled with charlatans and fraudsters.

Now, they sell you cream, but you don't know what's been added.

Here at Enlyven,

we go straight to the bee.

The venom of the bee, or as we call it, the bee's kiss.

Well, what is-- what is happening?

Dr. Brown, tell us, what is in the bee's kiss?

Uh, the-the bee sting? Uh, melittin, apamin.

Ah. Okay, I'm seeing the comment shift.

They cause inflammatory responses.

With responses that help prepare your immune system

for other toxins and diseases causing inflammation.

The bee sting is nature's vaccine.

Not derived from shadowy laboratories or with added unreliable ingredients.

H is the honey bee's kiss.

We will be selling bee venom extract.

And for a premium, we will ship you live bees

so that you can inoculate yourself with nature's power.

Oh, clever girl.

Wait, these are presales?

Yep.

Bronwyn, look at these numbers.

-You are a genius. - Thank you.

You do know that I have holdings in other wellness companies

all around the world, right?

I'm taking you global, Bronwyn.

Whatever money you need, whatever infrastructure you need,

you got Chad.

-Namaste, Chad. - Namaste, babe.

This is the opposite of what we wanted, right?

Thank you, Parker.

All right, what's our next move on her?

I have no idea.

This woman lies without any remorse,

and then she pivots without thought to consequence or even reality.

Imagine the good she could've done

if she'd had the decency to become an honest con woman.

All right, we'll wipe out her database. That's where the values at, right?

If we do that, she'll just restore from a backup.

I guess I could install a virus that corrupts it.

Corrupts the backups, too.

Fine.

You know, my--my first grift...

I went to pastry school in Paris

to get a job in an arms dealer's favorite restaurant.

You know, catch his eye over time.

And I spent six months just carving my way

into his life like a scalpel,

but I walked away from that con

with a Van Gogh and a briefcase full of diamonds.

I mean, they were physical objects. They were treasures.

She...

She finds thousands of victims in their own homes,

and--and she sells their... their--their thoughts

to a man who pays her in money that doesn't even exist.

I mean, is this what crime has come to?

Well, I hate to have a "well, actually" moment,

but Bitcoin actually exists, okay?

Just-- it physically exists.

Like Santa, or the Grey Man Who Haunts Our Dreams.

Who's the Grey Man Who Haunts Our--

Shh! You never say his name twice! Never!

Bronwyn can recover from anything as long as she's got Chad's money.

We break that connection.

Mm. Let's hack his Bitcoiny thing.

No. Sophie already said, the only way this guy accesses the exchange

is from a secret computer that is not connected to any outside network.

There is no way in.

You know, Chad is throwing up a lot of flags

that could get him investigated for money laundering.

A lot of people think you can't launder Bitcoin, but you can.

You do it through initial coin offering.

Chad's exchange gives him access to all those root accounts.

If he just coin-mixes during the transactions,

he could launder millions of dollars and no one would ever know.

I've been keeping up with my evil lawyering reading.

Mad respect.

All right, look, even if he is legit,

he's still living in fear of the FBI sniffing around his life.

It's an inside/outside play.

We convince Chad that Bronwyn's part of an investigation

and scare him away from her.

Yes, and I convince Bronwyn that there's a scandal coming on Chad's side

and scare her away from him.

Hey, wake up.

You're gonna work on a virus, as a backup.

And I'm gonna go prove that the personal touch still works.

Stop there.

You are a harbinger of negative energy.

Be gone.

I didn't know. I didn't know.

I chose Hank's company because I saw the potential for it to go viral,

and I was right.

Imagine what I can do for your other campaigns.

Doris, like bees, there's only one queen.

You cannot imagine what my life is like.

- I was an actress.

- I know what it does to you.

Sitting in a room with women who all look exactly like you,

knowing that only one of you is gonna succeed,

and the rest of us,

ah, the rest of us have already failed.

I know what that does to you, the constant judging.

What did you do? Did you break like so many others?

No, you left them behind.

You took what they didn't appreciate and you made your own rules.

You made your own world.

I get you, Bronwyn.

I understand you.

There are times when Melanie's conscience is, uh...

It's a burden.

I did a one-woman show of Death of a Salesman

in a casino dinner theater in the Outback.

Nothing scares me.

Hello, hello, hello! Hey, how's it going?

Kent Allard, Southeastern First Financial.

We're Bronwyn Lark's bankers.

Dude, welcome to the future of banking. Virtual currency.

Yeah, very exciting. Yeah, very happy to be here.

Okay, so we're gonna be entering into a partner arrangement.

So part of our "Get to Know Your Client" policies,

I'm gonna need to take a look at your transactions,

your filings, and all your extant partnerships up till now.

You mind if I go down to the exchange floor,

take a look at those documents I requested?

Of course. Right this way.

Just gonna head downstairs.

And hey, mi casa es su casa.

- Hey, muchas gracias. -

I know what you're thinking, Eivor.

"Know Your Client," that's an anti-money laundering policy.

All right, so you have a bank employee profile on their website,

but if Chad is paying attention,

he's gonna notice that you just joined two months ago.

So then he'll try to find your last job.

And what does he find? Your last job at Freedom Business Bank.

But then he's going to notice that you were also only there for six months.

And the more research he follows, the deeper down he goes.

There was your job before that.

Also six months. That's weird, right?

Like these jobs are cover-ups.

So who are you really?

And why are you just hopping from bank to bank?

If he's smart, he's gonna do an image search of your photo.

And there you are with a different name

at a trial with a whole bunch of FBI guys

with the MLFBU.

You built him a Rabbit Hole.

Melanie's here.

What?

Okay, uh, my rig, it takes two minutes to inject the virus into the database.

Just plug it in.

Okay. Uh, where are you going?

Hey.

My boss and your boss are cooking up something evil,

and I thought I'd just, uh, take a look around.

- Do I hear bees?

Bronwyn says it's soothing.

They can last a week off the food. I'm getting them to the roof tomorrow.

Just don't bump the boxes.

- Are you, um, okay?

I just...

I really wanted to help people.

And at the beginning, we were.

Bronwyn's fame helped me get real treatments

out to people who needed them.

But now, peddling this ridiculous...

You know what this is?

Elixir of Venus.

"An extract of four different tropical plants

to bring back your sex drive."

- Did you make this? - No, it's a placebo.

The men's wellness websites,

they sell the exact same powder, they call it Ram Energy.

Yikes.

Oh. This is jade. It's supposed to have healing properties.

Do you know how you're supposed to use this?

Mm-mm.

For an hour.

I don't know how long I can keep doing this.

Uh, speaking of which,

you know, you should take some time off.

Uh, from Bronwyn, my boss.

What do you mean?

You seem like a really good person,

and Bronwyn isn't.

And, you know, maybe my boss is here

because of the not-so-good stuff.

Is Doris... undercover?

Just, for once, think of you.

Bronwyn is not a good friend.

Maybe you need to be that good friend for yourself.

Thanks.

I don't even know you, and you cared.

Why do you want to help her?

You ever just have a friend and realize that they were using you?

Or you see, like, a friendship and it's just one way?

That stuff hurts. Like, a lot.

I didn't really have friends until I met your brother.

And now, he, Eliot, Sophie, and I, we're family, not friends.

Well, Peggy and Hurley are friends, but they'd never try to hurt me.

You know, in a weird way, I think your not having friends

might have actually saved you some pain.

Maybe.

Melanie just called Bronwyn to warn her, didn't she?

Yep, just like we knew she would.

God, I'm so stupid for thinking otherwise.

No. I like that you tried to help her.

Hardison would've done the same thing.

Hmm.

Who are you?

Melanie just told me that your assistant spilled the beans.

Damn it.

Bronwyn, you need to know, Chad Deihle is under investigation,

and you seemed like our best way in.

- What? No. No, I do not want to be part...

- Is this you? - No, it is not.

Oh, my God, does that guy have a gun?

Get up.

Oh, my God, is that a gun?

Let's go. Hurry up.

Let's go!

What is happening?

What is going on?

I have my suspicions.

I think I can get us out of here alive,

but we have to stick together and play innocent.

- Okay. - Good.

It was her! All her!

There we go.

I'm supposed to believe that you had no idea

that she was an undercover FBI agent investigating me for money laundering?

Why would I think that?

Because he is indeed money laundering.

Yeah, Bronwyn.

I am money laundering a lot for some very scary people.

And you took my investment in a company that she set up

and used it as a Trojan horse to get under my roof,

to get access to my records.

I had no idea.

Now, if you have to kill her, I could just look the other way.

Bronwyn, you're lying.

- No. - Because it's what you do.

You always lie. You set up a company based on lying.

I can't believe a word that comes out of your mouth.

So yes, now I have to kill both of you.

I mean, not me, I'm not gonna kill you.

Eivor's gonna kill you.

But this sucks.

What?

What's so funny?

I'm sorry.

You really don't have any idea what to do.

You're so used to your victims coming to you half-cooked

that you don't know what to do with a live tiger in a trap.

What am I supposed to do?

Eat.

Or be eaten.

I am not an FBI investigator. I am a grifter.

I work with a team.

We were just after Bronwyn's database,

but then you became a target of opportunity.

I mean, $40 million in a little electronic box.

How could we not?

This, I believe.

Here's why you're not gonna kill us.

I'm gonna buy our freedom with something of value.

I would prefer not to have Eivor kill you.

Right?

Bronwyn's database.

It's still worth millions.

Agreed.

- Okay, I will go get it. - No, sit down.

You'll call someone from your office. Have them download it.

Eivor will go pick it up.

There.

Melanie will download it.

Now we wait.

Hey, has Sophie checked in? She's not returning any of my calls.

Uh, last known location was at the Enlyven office.

Eliot's on his way over there right now.

I am tracing her phone.

She's somewhere weirdly shielded.

Parker's chasing down the nearest cell towers now.

- Okay.

- Hey, it's Melanie.

Zazi? Is that you?

Uh, Melanie?

Uh...

Oh, I had to call someone. First, Bronwyn disappeared.

Then she texted me and asked me to do something, and I know it's wrong.

She asked me to download all our users' confidential data.

That information could hurt people.

I couldn't think of anyone else I could trust, so I called you.

Okay, Melanie, just slow down. Okay, what exactly did she say?

She said to download the database and give it to Chad's man when he arrived.

- Uh, hold on.

Chad's guy? What does Chad's guy want with the database?

Sophie and Bronwyn disappeared at the same time last night.

- Coincidence? - No.

So Chad's a kidnapper?

I did not see that coming.

So Bronwyn and Sophie are at...

The Bitcoin exchange, that's why it's shielded.

It's vulnerable to electromagnetic charges.

The database is a price for...

I don't know, but if Chad is over there,

snatching people off the street, he's not gonna let Melanie live.

Melanie, just stay where you are, okay? Help is on the way.

Who?

Hank.

Okay, I'll call Eliot. He's on his way over to Enlyven anyway.

I'm gonna go to Chad's and I'll see if I can get Parker to meet me.

Wait, she's on the wrong side of the city.

I think we're solo here. Do you have a plan?

Yo, man. Shh.

You'll wake the bees.

Oh, man.

Hey.

I told you to be quiet.

Ha!

Don't bump the boxes!

- Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa!

Easy, easy, easy, easy, easy, bro, bro, bro.

Ooh. That one would've stung, huh?

Ooh!

What the hell is this?

Ah, it's...

- Go, go, go, go.

Hello.

FBI guy.

Ah, not FBI guy. I get it.

Where's Eivor?

He was detained.

Why are you detained?

Chad is in fact, money laundering.

Oh, so I was right.

You are very good at what you do.

Okay, one of you, please give Chad what he wants

so I can get out of this chair?

Well, that is the database of the personal information

of hundreds of thousands of Bronwyn's customers.

Breanna downloaded it just the way she said she would.

Now, I give this to you, we can all go.

What?

You think you can claim this as Bronwyn's database

and then just walk out of here?

Verify it yourself.

- Good.

Now, we're still gonna kill everybody,

but at least this wasn't a total waste.

I don't think so.

What the hell?

Careful. That's an EMP charge.

I had them build it into my phone

after you showed me your virtual currency.

Electromagnetic pulse.

It is fascinating.

If your $40 million was gold, there's nothing I could do to harm it.

If it were currency, that safe would protect it from fire or explosives.

But it's as you said, it just exists in bits and bytes.

And I could just wipe it out without even touching it.

Kill them.

And that is a dead man's switch.

You shoot my friend, he relaxes his grip and zap--

$40 million wiped out of existence.

You're bluffing.

Let's wait and see.

It's $40 million.

Mm-hmm. Yeah.

But it's not my $40 million.

So it doesn't really matter to me, does it?

The EMP pulse thing!

Oh, my phone has a magnetic case, so it sticks to my dashboard.

- Hey, the dead man's switch-- - Ballpoint pen.

Good improv. And the Breanna tip, good clue.

Do you guys know how much trouble you're in?

I'm Bronwyn Lark.

Yeah, that's your trouble. Chad's gonna want all of us dead.

He doesn't even know our real names, but you're famous.

I am famous.

Nowhere to hide as Bronwyn Lark.

Unless you go into the witness relocation program

and testify against Chad under a different name.

What? No!

Chad's gonna be very angry when he loses his fortune.

Not to mention his money-laundering clients.

But the EMP thing is fake!

Hit it again.

Just get it out of here.

No.

No, no, no, no, no, no, no.

This is a secure laptop. How could a virus...

Let's hack his Bitcoiny thing.

No. Sophie said the only way this guy accesses the exchange

is from a secret computer that's outside of the network.

That there's no way in.

We access her database. Hey, that's the value, right?

If we do that, she'll just restore from the backups.

The only thing I can do is install a virus that corrupts it

and corrupts the backups, too.

What?

You think you can claim this as Bronwyn's database

and then just walk out of here?

Verify it yourself.

I did it. I put a virus in the exchange.

It's a new regiment of blood tests from Indonesia.

It sounds really exciting.

Cutting edge. I--I didn't know anything like this even existed.

Our business was global.

I tracked these studies, even if we never used them.

Thanks to you, I can go back through all our customers,

try to find ways this time to really help them.

People like my sister.

Thank you.

- Put your name on it. -...imaginary friends.

I'm trying to make a romantic dinner for you and Hardison.

I have told you ten times, I don't know whose food is whose. I'm gonna eat it.

Hey, what's up? Don't.

Sounds like the docs are getting on like a house on fire, huh?

Yeah, they got a real super-friend vibe going on.

They're talking about starting a company like you guys did.

We didn't start a company because we were friends.

I didn't even like 'em the first year.

I didn't even learn his name till after the team broke up the first time.

No. No. That's stupid.

She called me by my name all the time.

Yeah, because somebody else said it, and I was like,

"Oh, right, Eliot," but I didn't remember it.

Damn it, Parker. I'm getting a beer.

And I'm not coming back.

Oh.

- He's coming back. - He's totally coming back.

So you managed to save her after all.

Ah, she was ready to save herself. She just needed a little push.

Like off a building.

Hardison warned me about that. Please don't push me off no building.

- Do you wanna be friends or not? - Not being pushed off a building.

- I don't think I do. - Thank you.

Hey, Eliot, I spoke to a buddy of mine in Justice

and he said they're gonna come down pretty hard on Chad.

Now, I think we all want Bronwyn to lose her business,

but none of us really want her to lose her life.

Yeah, well, I talked to the Marshal last night.

She said that Bronwyn has been tucked into the relocation program just fine.

No one's ever even gonna recognize her.

Hmm, wonder how she's gonna handle that.

Thank you.

I'm telling you, that's her. I don't--

Why would she even be working here?

I don't know, but it's her, I'm telling you.

Oh, no, you're right. Oh, my God.

You know who you look like?

Okay, what--what-- who's she?

That actress, Bronwyn.

I get that sometimes.

- Bronwyn Stark. - Uh, Lark, yeah.

No, it was Stark.

God, whatever happened to her?

- Didn't she die? - Oh, I don't know. I did not care for her.

- Did you see that last movie she did? - Ugh, horrible.

By the way, objection withdrawn.

I'm glad we did this one,

and I do see the difference between you and Bronwyn.

What part of "I'm not justifying myself to you" was I not clear on?

Well, it's not like you require my validation, but if I may offer it,

I think Bronwyn does what she does because it's easy,

and you do what you do the way that you do it because it's hard.

- And I find that distinction very useful. - How so?

Well, I think I used to look at what I did,

lawyering for the rich and powerful, as being hard,

but when I really think about it, it was easy.

'Cause I always had power on my side.

I never really picked a fight I could lose.

The one fight that was hard, keeping my marriage together

and staying by my daughter, I did lose.

Maybe because I was fooling myself which one was which.

Hmm. I think I do like a challenge.

Sometimes to my regret.

It's a long list of those.

Am I on that list?

Time will tell, Mr. Wilson.

But promise me one thing.

When you leave, and you will leave,

go and do something really hard.

I promise.
