AFTER THAT, WE SCALE
FABRICATION OUTPUT BY 20%.

THIS WILL MEAN MORE DOWNSIZING.

THERE ARE 60 NAMES HERE.

10 THIS WEEK, 10 THE NEXT,
AND SO ON.

CALL THEIR NAMES,
SEND THEM TO H.R. --

ANY BACKCHAT,
MR. CARROLL CAN ASSIST.

MAYBE IF I CUT SOME WORK HOURS,
WE CAN SAVE SOMEONE --

NO ONE IS SAVING ANYONE, ALEX.
JUST DO IT.

ALL RIGHT, ALL RIGHT,
NEARLY FINISHED, PEOPLE.

JUST A FEW MORE.

NUMBER 462...

809...

791...

[ WORKERS MURMUR ]
AND 20.

EDITH, I AM SORRY.
IF THERE WAS ANY--

[ EDITH CRYING ]
ALL RIGHT, THAT'S IT, PEOPLE.

BACK ON THE CLOCK.

HALF THE WORKFORCE HAS BEEN CUT
IN THE LAST SIX MONTHS.

ENTIRE SECTIONS
HAVE BEEN CLOSED.

WHAT CHARLES IS DOING
MAKES NO SENSE.

-WHO'S CHARLES?
-CHARLES DODGSON III.

HE'S THE "DODGSON"
IN "DODGSON ENERGETICS."

I DON'T MEAN TO BE HARSH,
MR. LIDDELL,

BUT COMPANIES DO DIE.

D.E. ISN'T DYING, MR. FORD.
IT'S BEING KILLED.

AND IF THE FACTORY DIES,
OXFORD DIES.

THE FACTORY
IS THE TOWN'S LIFE'S BLOOD.

We could just get rid of him.

WHAT? GOOD LORD! NO, I DON'T
WANT CHARLES HURT. MY GOD.

NO, NO, NO, WHAT -- WHAT --

WHAT HE MEANS
IS THAT WE COULD --

WE COULD TAKE HIM...
OUT OF PLAY.

LIKE A FORCED RETIREMENT.

YEAH.

YOU --
YOU HAVE TO UNDERSTAND --

HIS FATHER RAN D.E.
LIKE A SWEATSHOP.

WHEN CHARLES TOOK OVER,
HE STOPPED ALL THAT.

HE WAS LIKE HIS GRANDFATHER
AGAIN.

HE WAS SO FULL OF ENERGY
AND NEW IDEAS FOR THE FUTURE.

YOU DON'T WANT HIM
TAKEN OUT OF PLAY.

YOU DON'T WANT HIM
REMOVED FROM THE COMPANY

OR ANYTHING LIKE THAT.

YOU GOT TO JUST TELL US
WHAT YOU WANT.

HE WAS ONCE SOMEONE
WE ALL LOVED AND ADMIRED.

I WANT YOU TO FIX HIM.

I WANT YOU TO MAKE CHARLES
THE WAY HE USED TO BE.

CAN YOU DO THAT, MR. FORD?

"YES"?
YOU SAID "YES" TO THE MAN?

NATE, ARE YOU
OUT OF YOUR DAMN MIND?

WE ARE RUNNING
THE WHITE RABBIT.

THE WHITE -- WHAT? NO, NATE.
NO, THAT'S NOT WHAT WE DO.

THAT'S WHAT I SAID.

ALL RIGHT, LISTEN,
WE WRECK THE BAD GUYS.

WE DON'T TURN ONE KIND OF GUY
INTO ANOTHER KIND OF GUY.

WAIT --
WHAT IS THE WHITE RABBIT?

IT'S THE UNGRIFTABLE GRIFT.
IT'S IMPOSSIBLE.

-YEAH, BUT WE DO IMPOSSIBLE.
-NO, PARKER, NOT LIKE THIS.

FOR THIS, YOU HAVE TO GET
INSIDE THE MARK --

LIKE INSIDE THEIR HEAD,
INSIDE THEIR DREAMS.

-CAN'T BE DONE.
-THAT'S NOT TRUE.

THERE'S A GRIFTER
SITTING RIGHT HERE AMONG US

WHO HAS SUCCESSFULLY PULLED OFF
THE WHITE RABBIT -- SOPHIE.

-IT'S POSSIBLE.
-THERE YOU GO. IT'S POSSIBLE.

A BIT OF NLP, SOME MESMERISM,

SOME OF ELIOT'S
SPECIAL SEDATIVES.

ELIOT'S GOT SEDATIVES?

[ LAUGHTER ]

IT'S JUST A LITTLE PSYCHOTROPIC
I PICKED UP OUTSIDE OF BOGOTA.

PUTS YOU UNDER FAST,
KEEPS YOU DREAMING FOR DAYS.

[ GASPS ]

[ GRUNTS ]

[ GRUNTING, MEN SCREAMING ]

UNLESS YOU TAKE A STIMULANT
BEFORE THEY DOSE YOU.

SEE?

POSSIBLE, GRIFTABLE, DOABLE.

THIS GUY HASN'T BROKEN ANY LAWS,
ALL RIGHT.

HE'S NOT SKIMMING.
HE'S NOT MOBBED-UP.

WHY ARE YOU THINKING
OF DOING THIS?

LOOK, WE'RE NOT GOD, NATE.

WHY DO WE GET TO CHOOSE WHAT
KIND OF PERSON HE GETS TO BE?

GUYS, IF YOU THINK ABOUT IT,
EVERY JOB THAT WE DO,

EVERY SINGLE JOB,
WE'RE KIND OF PLAYING GOD.

WE'RE NOT DOING IT FOR PAYBACK.

WE HELP PEOPLE. WE SAVE PEOPLE.

AND I THINK
THIS GUY CAN BE SAVED.

I THINK THE TOWNCAN BE SAVED.

SO WE'RE GONNA DO THIS.

UH, WHAT COMES TO ME
WHEN I THINK OF D.E.?

UH, HISTORY, EXCELLENCE.

CHARLIE REALLY PUMPS LIFE
INTO THIS PLACE.

I MEAN, HE'S THE ONE
THAT REALLY KEEPS IT GOING.

YEAH, HE'S LIKE A MAD GENIUS.

HE -- HE MAKES COMING TO WORK
REALLY EXCITING.

BUT MOST OF ALL, FAMILY.

I MEAN, ALL THIS HAPPENS
BECAUSE D.E.'s A FAMILY.

I MEAN,
EVERYBODY WHO WORKS HERE --

HEY, MAN.

...IS INVESTED IN OUR FUTURE,

SO WE'RE JUST
MOVING FORWARD TOGETHER.

WELL, THAT GUY'S CHANGED.

NOW, THAT'S CHARLES DODGSON
FIVE YEARS AGO.

FOUR YEARS AGO, HIS POP HANDS
HIM THE KEYS TO THE FAMILY BIZ.

NOW, D.E. USED TO MAKE
HIGH-END BATTERIES

FOR MILITARY DRONES,
HYBRIDS, LAPTOPS.

I'M SORRY -- "USED TO"?

WELL, THREE YEARS AGO,
THEY WERE HIP-DEEP

IN DEVELOPING
THE ALPHA BROADCAST BATTERY,

AND THEN ALL OF A SUDDEN,
DODGSON STARTED MAKING CUTS --

DEPARTMENTS, PERSONNEL,
CLIENTELE.

YES, QUESTION FROM
THE SEXY STUFF IN THE FRONT ROW?

HOW DO WE BREAK INTO HIS HEAD?

WELL, DUDE KEEPS
A TIGHT SCHEDULE --

I MEAN,
WORK, HOME, WORK, REPEAT.

NO FRIENDS, NO FAMILY,
GROCERIES ARE DELIVERED.

HE DOESN'T EVEN DRIVE
HIS OWN CAR.

OKAY, THERE IT IS RIGHT THERE --
CAR SERVICE.

IT'LL BE EASY TO SWAP ELIOT OUT
WITH HIS REGULAR DRIVER.

SWAP ELIOT OUT
FOR WHAT REASON?

I STILL DON'T SEE AN IN
ON THIS GUY.

THAT'S BECAUSE YOU DIDN'T HACK
THREE MONTHS' WORTH

OF SATELLITE DATA
TO TRACK CHARLIE BOY.

HE DROPS IN HERE ONCE A WEEK --
BEHAVIORAL THERAPY.

NOW, AT FIRST,
I THOUGHT IT WAS O.C.D.

TURNS OUT THEY'RE PANIC ATTACKS.

AND HE'S KEEPING
THESE LITTLE VISITS SECRET --

JUST BETWEEN
HIM AND HIS DRIVER.

WAIT -- YOU KNOW WHAT?

GIVE ME A WEEK, A WAREHOUSE,

SOME DIGITAL PROJECTORS,
ELIOT'S COCKTAIL --

YEAH, WE CAN PUT THIS GUY
IN WONDERLAND.

ALL RIGHT, SOPHIE.

NOW, YOU'RE GONNA TAKE POINT
ON THIS,

AND YOU'LL DECIDE
WHETHER OR NOT IT'S A GO.

ALL THE WAY THROUGH IT.

[ KNOCK ON DOOR ]

I'M SORRY --
DR. POLITO'S OFFICE?

EMMA RAUSCHENBAUGH.

I'M LOOKING AFTER DR. POLITO'S
PATIENTS WHILE HE'S AWAY.

HE HAD A MEDICAL EMERGENCY.

YOU'RE HIS 7:00 --
CHARLES DODGSON?

YEAH, THE THING IS,
I REALLY ONLY CAME DOWN HERE

TO TERMINATE DR. POLITO.

OH. BUT I'VE STUDIED YOUR FILE,
AND I...

TELL ME, DID YOU NEVER DISCUSS
YOUR DREAMS WITH DR. POLITO?

IT WAS ENOUGH OF A...

A CHORE
TO COME DOWN TO THIS PLACE.

MY FAMILY -- WE DON'T DO THIS.

YES, I HAVE GIVEN IT QUITE
A LOT OF THOUGHT, AND PLEASE,

WHAT WOULD YOU SAY
IF I JUST SUGGESTED

THAT I COULD SOLVE
YOUR PANIC ISSUES IN 10 DAYS?

10 DAYS?

10 DAYS.

SO, YOUR DREAMS...

IN GUIDED DREAM THERAPY,
YOU AND I ENTER YOUR DREAMS

EVEN WHEN YOU'RE NOT HERE
AT THE OFFICE.

[ CLEARS THROAT ]

MY FATHER HAD THIS.
HE CONTROLLED IT.

HE CONTROLLED HIMSELF.

IF HEWAS ABLE TO DO IT,

I'M SURE
I CAN TAKE CARE OF THIS MYSELF.

WELL, HE PROBABLY HAD HELP.

DREAM ARCHITECTURES
CAN BE QUITE COMPLEX.

YEAH, YOU DIDN'T KNOW HIM.

THANK YOU FOR YOUR TIME,
DOCTOR.

[ EXHALES DEEPLY ]
[ DOOR CLOSES ]

NATE, I LOST DODGSON.
HE QUIT THERAPY.

NO. NO, YOU DIDN'T.
AND, NO, HE'S NOT.

NO, DODGSON IS ABOUT TO HAVE
A PANIC ATTACK.

PARKER, YOU'RE UP.

ELIOT.

YEAH, I'M GOOD TO GO.

SORRY -- WHAT WAS THAT?

I SAID,
IT'S...GOOD TO KNOW...

THAT THERE'S, UH --

THAT THESE LITTLE TOWNS
LIKE THIS OXFORD PLACE EXIST.

MAN, I USED TO DRIVE 18 UP 35
FROM DALLAS TO OKLAHOMA CITY.

AND RIGHT PAST OKLAHOMA CITY,

-YOU JUMP ON THE OLD 66...
-HEY!

...AND THERE'S LITTLE, SMALL
TOWNS LITTERED ALL THE WAY --

LOOK OUT! LOOK OUT!

[ TIRES SCREECH ]

[ GASPS, GRUNTS ]

OH, MY GOD!

What are you doing?
That was way too close.

Had to make it look real.
Was it good?

YOU ALL RIGHT? YOU OKAY?

I'M OKAY.

[ BREATHING SHAKILY ]

[ Chuckling ] EVERYTHING'S GOOD.
IT'S ALL RIGHT, SIR.

GIRL'S GONNA BE FINE.

DON'T TOUCH ME. DON'T TOUCH ME!
DON'T -- JUST DRIVE.

WHAT ARE YOU DOING HERE, ALEX?

WELL, UH, I DID AN EXTRAPOLATION
OF THE EFFECTS

THE CUTS YOU'VE MADE
WILL HAVE ON THE COMPANY.

IF YOU KEEP THIS UP,
D.E. WILL GO UNDER IN A YEAR.

SIX MONTHS,
AND IT'S NOT GOING UNDER.

I'M SELLING IT OUT.

A YEAR OF CUTS KILLS US,

BUT SIX MONTHS MAKES US LEAN
AND ATTRACTIVE TO BUYERS.

SELLING OUT?
WHAT -- IS THAT WHAT THIS IS?

EVERY CHIP, EVERY CABLE,
EVERY HARD DRIVE.

BUT TO DO THAT,
I NEED TO TRIM D.E. DOWN,

CUT THE DEAD WEIGHT,
WHICH NOW INCLUDES YOU.

-YOU'RE FIRED.
-WHAT?!

-NO, NO. MR. DODGSON --
-YOU'RE DONE.

-CHARLES!
-ALEX, YOU'RE DONE.

I WILL MAKE DO WITH MR. CARROLL.
AT LEAST HE DOESN'T THINK.

WHAT'S HAPPENED TO YOU?

GET OUT.

[ BREATHING HEAVILY ]

[ SNIFFLES ]
[ PILLS RATTLE ]

[ CELLPHONE BEEPS ]

DR. RAUSCHENBAUGH,
THIS IS CHARLES DODGSON.

[ SIGHS ]
I'VE RECONSIDERED.

THE ATTACKS
SEEM TO COME AT RANDOM.

IF I COULD JUST FIGURE OUT
WHAT'S CAUSING THEM...

[ HISS ]

ALL RIGHT.

BLUE PATCH MAKES HIM LOOPY.
RED PATCH KNOCKS HIM OUT.

Headed your way, Hardison.
E.T.A., 10 minutes.

COME ON WITH IT, ELIOT.
DREAMNASIUM IS A GO.

[ ENGINE SHUTS OFF ]

Welcome to the Dreamnasium.

Please bring
the heavily sedated guest

to the first virtual set.

I GOT DIGITAL PROJECTORS
TO CHANGE THE LANDSCAPES,

PLUS STUFF HE CAN TOUCH,

LIKE CHAIRS, TABLES,
ANYTHING LIKE THAT.

NOW, SECTION 1
MIRRORS THE SHRINK'S OFFICE.

SECTION 2, ANYTHING WE WANT.

AND THE HALLWAY,
WHICH IS IN THE MIDDLE,

THAT'S LIKE NEUTRAL GROUND --
IT'S LIKE BASE CAMP.

We're ready in here.

ALL RIGHT, HAMLET IS A GO
IN FIVE, FOUR, THREE, TWO...

[ Distorted ]
PROPOSE THE OATH, MY LORD.

PROPOSE THE OATH, MY LORD!

"NEVER TO SPEAK OF THIS
THAT YOU HAVE SEEN."

THAT'S YOUR LINE, MAN!

[ DOOR SLAMS ]

[ ELECTRICITY BUZZING ]

[ BREATHING SHAKILY ]

IT'S ALL RIGHT.

EVERYTHING'S FINE.

YOU'RE DREAMING.

THIS IS WHERE WE'LL CONFRONT
THE CAUSE OF YOUR PANIC ATTACKS.

WE'RE IN.

LET'S GO STEAL A DREAM.

-I'M DREAMING?
-YES.

I'M DREAMING RIGHT NOW?

YES.

-WHY DOES IT FEEL SO...
-SOLID?

THIS IS A LUCID DREAM,
MR. DODGSON.

YOU HAVE THE DREAM EXPERIENCE,
BUT YOU'RE AWARE

SO IT CAN DO YOU SOME GOOD.

AAH!

THERE'S...NOTHING OUT THERE.

BECAUSE YOUR SUBCONSCIOUS

DOESN'T WANT YOU
TO BE OUT THERE.

IF IT DID,
THERE'D BE SOMETHING TO SEE.

COME WITH ME.

OKAY, FACTORY FLOOR IS UP.

OH, AND REMEMBER,
THIS IS ALL VIRTUAL.

YOU CAN'T TOUCH ANYTHING
BUT THE DOORS.

None of this is real.
It's just a digital illusion.

And I haven't worked out
all the bugs yet.

THIS IS MY FACTORY.

WHAT ARE WE DOING HERE?

THIS IS
YOUR EMOTIONAL LANDSCAPE.

WHAT'S IMPORTANT TO YOUR WAKING
MIND IS REALITY HERE.

OH, LOOK.

UH...W-W-WAIT.

THAT AREA'S CLOSED.
WE DON'T USE THAT ANYMORE.

WHO CLOSED IT, MR. DODGSON?

WELL, IDID.

THE FIRST SECTION
THAT DODGSON CLOSED

WAS RESEARCH
AND DEVELOPMENT.

IT'S BEEN CHAINED UP,
UNTOUCHED, FOR YEARS.

VERY IMPORTANT TO HIM.

ALL D.E.'s FUTURE PROJECTS
ARE IN THERE.

NOW WE GET HIM TO REOPEN IT
IN THE DREAM, GO INSIDE,

AND SEE ALL THE INVENTIONS
HE LEFT TO ROT.

AND THEN, WHAT? HE FLIPS BACK
TO BEING A GOOD GUY?

WELL, WE GET HIM
THINKING ABOUT THE FUTURE,

WHICH WILL BRING HOPE.

I MEAN, JUST OPEN THE DOOR,
RIGHT? EASY PEASY.

THIS JUST DOESN'T FEEL RIGHT.
I -- CAN WE COME BACK TO THIS?

IF WE'RE HERE, IT'S BECAUSE
YOU WANT US TO BE HERE.

WHAT'S LOCKED BEHIND THAT DOOR

IS WHAT'S CAUSING
YOUR PANIC ATTACKS.

NO, NO.

THIS IS -- I --
WHAT IF SOMETHING HAPPENS?

IT'S A DREAM.
YOU'RE TOTALLY SAFE.

-JUST -- JUST OPEN IT AND SEE.
-I --

WHERE ARE YOU GOING?

I NEED A -- MY OFFICE.
I NEED TO TAKE A BREAK.

HE CAN'T GO BACK TO HIS OFFICE.
WE DON'T HAVE THAT.

WHY NOT?

YOU DIDN'T ASK FOR IT.
NO REQUEST, NO DIGITAL MODEL.

N-NO PROBLEM. NO PROBLEM.

UM, CAN YOU GET THEM
BACK IN THE CASTLE?

YEAH,
BUT HE'LL SEE THE CHANGE.

IT'S OKAY. JUST D-DO THAT.

OKAY, SOPHIE,
WE'RE DONE FOR THE NIGHT.

PARKER.

MR. DODGSON,
I URGE YOU AS YOUR THERAPIST

TO CONSIDER THE RAMIFICATIONS
OF WHAT YOU'RE DOING.

WHAT THE HELL IS HAPPENING?

-YOU'RE IN CRISIS.
-THIS IS INSANE.

THE CHAOS IS BEING REFLECTED
IN YOUR DREAM STATE.

IF YOU'LL JUST STOP...

-NO, NO. JUST STOP TALKING.
-LISTEN TO ME.

I'M GETTING OUT OF HERE.

[ HISS ]

[ GROANS ]

LOOK, I'M NOT SAYING
WE PULL THE PLUG,

BUT WE HAVE TO RETHINK THIS.

THE WHOLE CON HINGES
ON HIM OPENING THAT DOOR.

HE DOES NOT WANT TO DO THAT.

HE WANTED TO GO TO HIS OFFICE.
HE WAS DESPERATE TO GET THERE.

WHY?

SENTIMENT.
IT WAS HIS FATHER'S OFFICE.

THEN WE SHOULD
LET HIM GO THERE.

HE WANTS TO TAKE
THE LONG WAY AROUND --

FINE, AS LONG AS
HE OPENS THAT DOOR.

I GOT THE FLOOR PLANS.

ALL I NEED TO DO IS GET PICTURES
OF HOW IT'S SET UP INSIDE.

YEAH, FINESSE WON'T WORK
WITH THIS GUY.

NO, NO, WE GOT TO PUSH HIM.
SHORTEN THE LEASH.

[ HISS ]

ARE YOU WITH US, MR. DODGSON?

[ GROANS ]

EXCELLENT.

WELCOME TO STAGE 2.

STAGE 2?

FIRST, WE GOT YOU ACCLIMATED
TO THE DREAM STATE.

NOW YOU HAVE TO TAKE CONTROL.

THAT IS THE LAST THING
THAT I'VE GOT.

[ SIGHS ]

THE PANIC ATTACKS
ARE EVEN WORSE THAN BEFORE.

EXACTLY. PANIC ATTACKS
ARE ABOUT LOSS OF CONTROL.

HERE IS
WHERE YOU TAKE IT BACK.

BUT YOU HAVE TO WANT IT.

I DO.

I WANT IT.

[ SIGHS ]

LET'S GET STARTED.

WE'VE ALREADY BEGUN.

WHAT -- I'M DREAMING NOW?

HOW CAN I TELL?

[ Echoing ] LIKE THIS.

[ ELECTRONIC BUZZING ]

[ Distorted ]
WHY, CHARLES? WHY?

[ Distorted ]
WHY, CHARLES? WHY?

WHY, CHARLES? WHY?

CHARLES, WHY?

WHY, CHARLES? WHY?

OR THAT.

CHARLES, WHY? WHY?

-AAH!

-WHY, CHARLES?
-CHARLES!

[ GUNFIRE, EXPLOSIONS ]

[ PANTING ]

OH, GOD.

WHO ARE THOSE PEOPLE?
WHAT DO THEY WANT?

[ Echoing ] YOU, MR. DODGSON.

[ ALL TALKING INDISTINCTLY,
DISTORTED ]

WHY, CHARLES? WHY?

NO, NO. NO! AAH.

YOU CAN'T ESCAPE THEM,
MR. DODGSON.

THEY'RE YOU.

ALL OF THIS IS YOU.

[ TALKING CONTINUES ]

[ BREATHING HEAVILY ]

[ PANTING ]

HOW WILL YOU EVER GET BETTER

IF YOU DON'T LISTEN
TO YOUR DOCTOR?

IT'S ALL IN MY H-HEAD, RIGHT?

THIS DREAM --

I'M IN MY OFFICE,
MY DAD'S OFFICE. I'M SAFE.

THAT'S UP TO YOUR SUBCONSCIOUS.

[ POUNDING IN DISTANCE ]
CAN THEY GET IN?

MR. DODGSON.

FINE.

IF YOU THINK
YOU DON'T NEED ME --

NO, NO, NO, NO, NO.
NO, NO, NO.

YOU HAVE TO HELP ME.
YOU'RE THE DOCTOR.

OKAY, JUST...
JUST TELL ME WHAT THEY WANT.

THAT'S NOT HOW THIS WORKS.
I'M JUST THE GUIDE.

THE HARD WORK IS UP TO YOU.

WELL, WHY THE R&D LAB?

WHAT DOES IT MEAN?

MY FEELING IS...
ONCE YOU OPEN IT, YOU'LL KNOW.

LET'S GO AND SEE, SHALL WE?

[ POUNDING CONTINUES,
INDISTINCT SHOUTING ]

[ POUNDING, SHOUTING INTENSIFY ]

NO, DON'T. DON'T. DON'T.
DON'T LET THEM IN! DON'T.

[ POUNDING, SHOUTING STOP ]

COME ON.

-SHE'S GOOD, ISN'T SHE?
-NOBODY BETTER.

BUT I'M NOT SURE THAT...

[ KEYS JINGLE ]
MR. DODGSON.

I KNOW. I KNOW.

[ SIGHS HEAVILY ]

NO, I CAN'T. I CAN'T.
THIS HAS TO STAY LOCKED.

THIS BLOCK
IS ACTING LIKE AN ANCHOR.

IF YOU JUST OPEN THE DOOR --

NO. I AM NOTDOING THIS, OKAY?

AND YOU CANNOT MAKE ME!

[ HISS ]
[ GROANS ]

I BELIEVE YOU.

NATE.

[ LIGHTS CLICK ]

I NEED A WORD.

ALL RIGHT, ELIOT
BROUGHT DODGSON BACK HOME.

[ EXHALES DEEPLY ]

HE WAS ALMOST THERE --
RIGHT ON THE EDGE.

WE GOT TO FIND SOMETHING
THAT...

THAT PUSHES HIM THE RIGHT WAY.

YEAH, WELL, I'M NOT SO SURE
PUSHING WORKS SO WELL.

I DON'T KNOW --
THERE'S JUST SOMETHING

ABOUT THE WAY HE'S SO RESISTANT
THAT'S BOTHERING ME,

AND I CAN'T SAY WHY.

YEAH, HE'S JUST REALLY STUBBORN.

TO PULL OFF THE WHITE RABBIT,

DODGSON HAS TO BUY INTO THE IDEA
THAT THE DREAMS ARE REAL.

ON SOME LEVEL,
HE KNOWS IT'S ALL FALSE.

ALL RIGHT,
IF HE NEEDS IT TO FEEL REAL...

LET'S MAKE IT REAL.

MR. DODGSON, PLEASE.
YOU'RE NOT MAKING ANY SENSE.

LET ME SAY THIS AGAIN
IN PLAIN ENGLISH.

I WANT YOU
TO MOVE UP THE SALE.

YES, SIR, OF COURSE,
BUT...NEXT WEEK?

-I WANT THIS PLACE DONE -- GONE.
-[ SCOFFS ]

I WANT TO FORGET ALL ABOUT IT.

WELL, IT'S GONNA TAKE
LONGER THAN A WEEK.

I MEAN, THE TERMINATION
PAPERWORK ALONE IS GONNA TAKE --

UH, THIS IS MY COMPANY.

UM, MY FATHER LEFT IT TO ME,
NOT YOU,

AND I CAN CLOSE THE DOORS
WHENEVER I WANT.

YES, SIR, BUT IF YOU WANT TO
MAKE ANY MONEY ON THE AUCTION --

YOU THINK THIS IS ABOUT MONEY?

MY FATHER WOULD HAVE
SOLD THIS COMPANY IN A HEARTBEAT

IF HE THOUGHT
HE COULD MAKE A PROFIT.

DID I DO THAT? NO.

I GAVE PEOPLE TIME
TO MAKE PLANS, TO FIND JOBS.

I WENT SLOW FOR THEM

BECAUSE, YOU KNOW, HEY,
WE'RE A FAMILY HERE.

WELL, FAMILY TIME IS OVER.

MAKE IT HAPPEN, JOHN,
OR YOU'RE GONNA GET A PINK SLIP

INSTEAD OF A GOLDEN PARACHUTE --
ARE WE CLEAR?

YEAH -- CLEAR, SIR.

[ SIGHS ]

[ HISS ]

[ DANCE MUSIC PLAYING ON RADIO ]

[ VOLUME DECREASES ]

-HEY, MAN.
-HELLO.

JUST GIVING THE, UH,
BOSS'S LADY FRIEND A QUICK TOUR.

OKAY.

[ GIGGLES ]

[ American accent ] HEY! HEY,
TURN THE MUSIC BACK ON!

I WANT TO DANCE! [ GIGGLES ]

I'M REALLY -- I'M FEELING IT.

[ VOLUME INCREASES ]
BYE! [ GIGGLES ]

[ GROANS ]

UH, DR. RAUSCHENBAUGH?

SALLY SPARROW
FROM HATTER MERCANTILE.

THIS IS MY PARTNER, MR. STEED.

YOU KNOW,
THIS IS TRULY IMPRESSIVE.

WHAT YOU'VE DONE HERE, TRULY,

IT'S A TRIBUTE
TO YOUR GRANDFATHER'S WORK.

WHAT WAS HIS MOTTO?

UH...

-"KEEP -- KEEP MOVING FORWARD."
-THAT'S THE ONE.

OH, WELL,
YOU'VE DONE A STELLAR JOB

GETTING THIS PLACE IN SHAPE.

-YEAH, HASN'T HE?
-MM-HMM.

UH...YEAH. I MEAN, WE'VE BEEN
T-TRYING TO CUT THE FAT.

THERE'S JUST ONE THING.

IN ORDER FOR US
TO MAKE A REAL DECISION,

WE'RE GONNA HAVE TO SEE
THAT ALPHA BATTERY.

UM...

THE ALPHA BATTERY?

WE ACTUALLY NEVER FINISHED THAT.

HEY.

HEY. UM...

HEY!

WAIT! STOP!

PLEASE!

HEY. HEY, STOP.

[ PANTING ]

S-STOP. WHO ARE YOU?

I WORK HERE.
I'M A WORKER -- WORKING.

NO. THIS IS ALL WRONG.
YOU CAN'T BE HERE.

I'M TAKING THE BATTERY FOR A
WALK, SIR. SHE NEEDS TO GET OUT.

NO, NO, NO, NO. COME ON.
WE HAVE TO GO. COME ON.

LET GO!
[ BOTH GRUNT ]

YOU HAVE TO -- I HAVE TO
GET YOU OUT OF HERE! COME ON!

Guys, a little help?

AAH! DAMN IT!

PATIENCE, YOU NEVER LISTEN.

I'VE GOT TO
GET YOU OUT OF HERE!

[ HISS ]
AAH!

WHO THE HELL IS PATIENCE?!

HE CALLED ME "PATIENCE."

LOOK FOR ANYTHING
WITH THAT NAME.

SO, WHO THE HELL IS PATIENCE?
GIRLFRIEND, RELATIVE, WHAT?

[ COMPUTER BEEPS ]

[ HARDISON STAMMERING ]

-IT'S NOT MY DEPARTMENT.
-STOP TAKING STUFF.

HEY, WHAT ABOUT THIS?
SHOULD I TAKE THIS?

PUT IT BACK.

DAMN IT.

INTEL. WE'RE NOT HERE TO STEAL.

[ COMPUTER BEEPING ]

LET'S GO. LET'S GO.
LET'S GO. LET'S GO.

DONE.

HEY, WHAT ARE YOU DOING?
COME ON. COME ON.

MEET PATIENCE MORTELL --
DODGSON'S SECOND COUSIN.

SHE DOESN'T
LOOK ANYTHING LIKE ME.

SHE'S A LITTLE YOUNGER
THAN DODGSON.

THEY SPENT THEIR SUMMERS
GROWING UP AS KIDS,

SPENT THEIR COLLEGE YEARS
BACKPACKING IN EUROPE.

SHE'S AN OLYMPIC-CLASS
PARTY GIRL.

AND WE'RE JUST FINDING OUT
ABOUT THIS NOW?

WELL, SHE FELL OFF THE RADAR

AFTER DODGSON
TOOK OVER THE FAMILY BIZ.

SO...YOU MISSED IT.

I DIDN'T MISSNOTHING.
I WASN'T LOOKING FOR IT.

ANYWAY,
AFTER I DID A SEARCH ON HER,

ALL I COULD FIND WAS HER OBIT.

-PATIENCE IS DEAD?
-EXACTAMUNDO.

SEE, SHE SPENT A WEEK
PARTYING IN ASPEN,

DROVE HERSELF BACK HOME --
BLACK ICE, PLUS SPIN-OUT,

CAR, PLUS GUARDRAIL,
PLUS GRAVITY,

-PLUS 100-FOOT DROPS, PLUS --
-[ MUTTERING ]

I'M SORRY.
YOU GOT SOMETHING TO SAY?

I'M JUST SAYING --

IT'S A PRETTY BIG
PIECE OF INFORMATION

FOR YOU TO COMPLETELY MISS!

I DIDN'T MISS IT!
I WASN'T LOOKING!

AND SHE FELL OFF THE RAD--
YOU KNOW WHAT, MAN?

I'VE HAD MY HANDS BUSY
BUILDING A DIGITAL DREAM WORLD,

BUSY MODDING YOUR JUNGLE DRUGS

SO IT DOESN'T
FRY DODGSON'S BRAIN.

I'VE BEEN BUS--

YOU KNOW, D-D-DON'T YOU HAVE
SOME CHAUFFEURING TO DO?

-NATE?
-HMM?

A WORD.

DON'T TELL ME. I KNOW.

YOU SAID IT WAS A BAD IDEA,
THAT WE SHOULDN'T DO IT.

YOU WARNED ME. I-I KNOW.

NATE, I NEVER COMPLETED
THE WHITE RABBIT.

WHAT?!

OF COURSE YOU DID. NO,
YOU'RE THE ONLY ONE WHO EVER --

IT WAS JUST A RUMOR?

SO ALL THIS TIME,
YOU'VE LET PEOPLE THINK --

LOOK, I DID TRY IT ONCE,

BUT THEN HALFWAY THROUGH,
IT WENT BAD.

FRIENDS STARTED ARGUING.

SEASONED GRIFTERS
STARTING MAKING ROOKIE MISTAKES.

SO IT GOT BUMPY. I MEAN,
NOT EVERYTHING'S A CAKEWALK.

DO YOU UNDERSTAND
WHAT THIS CON IS?

-WE'RE IN A MAN'S MIND.
-YES, I KNOW.

GRIFTER, THERAPIST --
KIND OF THE SAME COIN, RIGHT?

I MEAN, YOU'RE BOTH
INSIDE PEOPLE'S HEADS.

NO, I NUDGE PEOPLE
INTO DOING SOMETHING

THAT THEY ALREADY WANT TO DO.

I TEMPT THEM HERE AND THERE.
I HELP THEM ACCESS THEIR GREED.

BUT, NO --
NO, THIS IS DIFFERENT.

I-I DON'T SEE HOW.

BECAUSE YOU'RE ALL PLANS
AND CLOCKWORKS.

THIS CON IS UNPREDICTABLE.

IT CAN BREAK A MARK.
IT CAN BREAK A GRIFTER.

IT CAN BREAK A TEAM.

YOU'RE FORGETTING ONE THING --
THIS IS US,ALL RIGHT?

IT'S OUR CREW RUNNING IT, OKAY?

NOTHING'S GONNA HAPPEN
TO THIS GUY.

WE'RE NOT GONNA BREAK HIM,
ALL RIGHT?

WE'RE -- WE'RE HELPING HIM.

LOOK, I AM TELLING YOU.
AS OF RIGHT NOW,

I CANNOT PREDICT
HOW THIS IS GONNA FALL OUT.

YOU NEED TO BE CONFIDENT
ABOUT THIS.

YOU'RE BETTER. YOU'RE SMARTER.
I MEAN, YOU CAN'T FEEL GUILTY --

WHY DO I BOTHER?

HARDISON, WHAT'S THE DATE
OF PATIENCE'S CRASH?

3:00 A.M., MARCH 20, 2009.

OKAY, CAN YOU PUT UP

THE D.E. SECURITY FOOTAGE
FROM MARCH 19th?

[ KEYBOARD CLACKING ]

[ INDISTINCT TALKING]

THERE'S DODGSON
WORKING IN THE R&D LAB.

NOW, FAST-FORWARD ONE DAY.

[ HIGH-SPEED TALKING]

STOP. THERE.

[ NORMAL-SPEED TALKING]

[ HIGH-SPEED TALKING]

SEE? DOOR'S CLOSED
AND PADLOCKED.

THAT'S IT.

WELL DONE.

WAIT -- WHAT'SIT?
WHAT'SWELL DONE?

THE CALL. SEE, DODGSON,
HE'S GOT THIS TROUBLED COUSIN,

DISAPPEARS
INTO THE JET-SET PARTY WORLD,

CALLS HIM OUT OF THE BLUE,

BUT HE'S BUSY WORKING
ON SOME SENSITIVE PROJECT.

THE ALPHA BROADCAST BATTERY.

YEAH, SO HE SEES WHO'S CALLING,

DOESN'T TAKE THE CALL
BECAUSE HE'S BUSY.

THE NEXT DAY,
HE FINDS OUT PATIENCE IS DEAD.

HE BLAMES HIMSELF.

YES, HENCE THE PADLOCKED DOORS,
THE CLOSING OF THE LAB,

THE FIRING OF WORKERS,

AND TRYING TO SELL
EVERYTHING OFF THAT'S LEFT.

IT'S NOT FEAR OF THE FUTURE

THAT'S CAUSING THE PANIC
ATTACKS -- IT'S GUILT.

SINCE WE GOT HERE,
EVERY TIME THIS GUY'S

GOTTEN INTO A PANIC ATTACK,
PARKER WAS IN PLAY.

YOU ALL RIGHT?

I'M OKAY.

[ BREATHING SHAKILY ]

PATIENCE, YOU NEVER LISTEN.
I'VE GOT TO GET YOU OUT OF HERE!

PARKER REMINDS HIM
OF PATIENCE.

SO, I MEAN --
NO, I MEAN, THE ONLY WAY

WE'RE GONNA FLIP THIS GUY,
RIGHT,

IS IF WE GET HIM
TO STOP BEING GUILTY ABOUT HER.

RIGHT.

-COME WITH ME, YOUNG LADY.
-NO.

-IT'S MAKEOVER TIME.
-NO, NO, NO, NO, NO.

IT'S MAKEOVER TIME.

WAIT -- ARE WE NOT DOING
THE WHITE RABBIT?

AS OF RIGHT NOW,
THESE ARE THE COMPANIES

WHO WILL BE PARTICIPATING
IN THE AUCTION.

NOW, THERE'LL BE SOME ADVANCE
PEOPLE DROPPING IN TO RATE US

AND MORE SECURITY FILINGS,
AND TODAY, YOU'LL NEED TO --

MR. DODGSON?

YES, UM...
IT'S FINE. EXCELLENT.

[ INDISTINCT CONVERSATIONS ]

[ CLEARS THROAT ]

SIR, I KNOW
I'M GETTING NEAR THE LINE HERE,

BUT YOU HAVEN'T BEEN...
YOUR BEST LATELY.

I'M JUST -- I'M JUST HAVING
SOME SLEEP ISSUES.

YEAH, WELL, AS WE'VE MOVED UP
THE SALE DATE,

YOU'VE LET YOURSELF IN ON
A MARATHON OF CONFERENCE CALLS.

YOU CAN HANDLE THOSE.

YOU'RE THE FACE OF THE COMPANY,
SIR, LIKE YOUR --

LIKE YOUR GRANDFATHER.

[ INHALES DEEPLY ]

UH...FINE. I'LL TALK TO THEM.

I CAN PUSH BACK SOME OF
THE CALLS TO LATER IN THE WEEK,

BUT THE CARMAKERS FROM FINLAND

ARE WAITING
FOR A WEB CONFERENCE.

[ SIGHS ]

IF I MIGHT SUGGEST...

THIS STUFF
WOULD KEEP AN ELEPHANT AWAKE.

IT'S TIME-RELEASED. EVERY
FIVE HOURS, YOU GET A BOOST.

[ SIGHS ]
[ DOOR CLOSES ]

I DON'T KNOW. THERE'S SOMETHING
GOING ON WITH HIM.

FIND OUT WHAT HE'S BEEN UP TO
FOR THE LAST FEW DAYS.

ANYTHING UNUSUAL, YOU COME
SEE ME FIRST, ALL RIGHT?

OKAY. WILL DO.

[ HISS ]

PATIENCE?

PATIENCE?

PATIENCE?

[ FOOTSTEPS ]

PATIENCE.

[ BREATHING SHAKILY ]

OH, MY GOD.

IT'S -- IT'S REALLY YOU.

[ CHUCKLES ]

I MISSED YOU SO MUCH.

PARKER, THIS IS YOUR SHOW.

REMEMBER, JUST...

keep it simple.

YOU LOOK SAD.

WHY ARE YOU SAD?

I'M IN TROUBLE.

THIS PLACE, THE WHOLE TOWN --
IT'S JUST --

IT'S JUST TOO MUCH NOW.

WELL, I'M HERE NOW.

YOU LOOK DIFFERENT.

WHY DO YOU LOOK DIFFERENT?

YOU'RE DEAD.

[ EXHALES SHARPLY ]

PATIENCE -- OH!

WHAT'S GOING ON!

GUYS, I THINK
SOMETHING'S WRONG.

CONFIRMED.

WRONG, SOMETHING IS.

DAMN IT.

PARKER, HE TOOK AN ENERGY SHOT.

IT'S WORKING AGAINST
THE SEDATIVE.

SO, NATE, WE --
I MEAN, WE PULL THE PLUG, RIGHT?

[ PANTING ]

GUYS, I HATE TO PILE ON,
BUT WE GOT COMPANY AT THE GATE.

GENTLEMEN.
HOW CAN I HELP YOU TONIGHT?

WHAT ARE YOU DOING HERE?

THE BOSS HAS A...LADY FRIEND --
WANTS TO ENTERTAIN.

[ CHUCKLES ]

MR. DODGSON NEVER ENTERTAINS.

AND IF HE DID,
HE WOULDN'T DO IT HERE.

WELL, I DON'T ASK QUESTIONS.
I'M JUST THE DRIVER, MAN.

NO, I THINK YOU'RE A MOLE.

I THINK ONE OF THE SHARKS
CIRCLING THIS COMPANY

SENT YOU HERE TO DIG UP SCANDAL
ON MR. DODGSON,

LOWBALL THE SALE PRICE, YEAH?

WHAT ARE YOU --
ASK MY BOY HERE, MAN.

I -- HE SAW US ALL COME IN.

WE WERE ALL TOGETHER
JUST A MIN--

Need some options here, guys.

STALL THEM.
THERE'S A SITUATION INSIDE.

WHAT IS THIS?

SO...PFFT.

THAT'S...A HELL OF A THEORY,
MAN. [ CHUCKLES ]

LOOK, I DON'T KNOW
EXACTLY WHAT'S GOING ON HERE,

BUT I DO KNOW THAT SOMEONE
CANCELED MR. DODGSON'S CAR

FOR THE LAST MONTH.

[ SIGHS ]

WHOEVER YOU ARE,
YOU'RE NO DRIVER.

I DON'T SUPPOSE
WE CAN FORGET ABOUT THIS

AND JUST CALL IT A NIGHT, HUH?

LOOK.

LET ME EXPLAIN SOMETHING.

[ GRUNTS ]

OH, LOOK OUT.

OOH! THAT ONE CONNECTED,
DIDN'T IT? COME HERE.

STAY DOWN.

WHAT ARE YOU --

[ Breathlessly ] WHO ARE YOU --
WHO ARE YOU PEOPLE?

WHAT THE HELL'S --
WHAT THE HELL'S GOING ON?

[ PANTING ]

HUH.

MR. DODGSON...

[ THUD ]

LOOK, T-THIS ISN'T WHAT...

MR. DODGSON. MR. DODGSON! WAIT!

I GOT HIM. HE'S IN
THE WEST WING, HEADED NORTH.

HEY, RICH DUDE!

NATE --

[ GRUNTING ]

ANYBODY WANT TO TELL ME
WHAT'S GOING ON IN THERE?

STOP.

A LITTLE BUMP --
WE'RE HANDLING IT.

I JUST NEED YOU
TO KEEP STALLING.

Fine.
[ GRUNTING ]

[ GROANING ]

GIVE ME THE GUN!

CHARLIE!

CHARLIE, STOP!

[ LOCK CLICKS ]

[ PANTING ]

[ BREATHING HEAVILY ]

CHARLIE!

-CHARLIE.
-NO.

DON'T COME OVER HERE, OKAY?

JUST STAY RIGHT THERE.

CHARLIE,
W-WHAT ARE YOU DOING UP HERE?

[ Panting ] THE BALL DIDN'T --

THE BALL DIDN'T -- DIDN'T FLOAT.

YEAH, WELL...THEY USUALLY DON'T.

WHAT ARE WE
TALKING ABOUT HERE?

I JUS-- I-I DON'T KNOW
WHAT'S REAL ANYMORE.

YOU DON'T --
YOU DON'T LOOK LIKE YOU.

NOTHING FEELS...SOLID.

[ GASPS ]

JUST TELL ME...

AM I DREAMING NOW,
OR WAS I JUST DREAMING THEN?

WHICH ANSWER
GETS YOU DOWN HERE WITH ME?

[ BREATHING SHAKILY ]

YOU KNOW, THEY SAY -- THEY SAY
YOU CAN'T DIE IN YOUR DREAMS.

IT'S JUST -- YOU JUST WAKE UP.

[ BREATHING HEAVILY ]

I JUST WANT TO WAKE UP,
PATIENCE.

[ EXHALES SLOWLY ]

IT'S NOT ACTUALLY
ALWAYS THE CASE.

I AM TIRED.

I AM SO -- [ SIGHS ]

SO TIRED.

[ SNIFFLES ]

[ Voice breaking ] I JUST --
[ CRYING ]

I JUST WANT TO WAKE UP.

NO, WAIT! STOP!

[ PANTING ]

WHY?!

BECAUSE -- BECAUSE
YOU'RE NOT DREAMING, OKAY?

IF YOU STEP OFF THAT LEDGE,
YOU'RE GONNA DIE.

WHAT? WHAT'S THE PROBLEM?

I THOUGHT YOU WERE HACKED
INTO THE SECURITY SYSTEM.

No, it's a machine lock.

-WHAT THE HELL ARE YOU DOING?
-I'M HACKING.

WELL, STOP IT! JUST...STEP BACK.

SHE'S ON THE ROOF
WITH THE GUY

WE JUST SPENT THE LAST FOUR DAYS
DRIVING CRAZY.

WELL, I'M NOT HAPPY ABOUT IT,
EITHER, BUT WE JUST...

WE HAVE TO TRUST THAT PARKER'S
GONNA SEE IT THROUGH TO THE END.

NO. THIS IS -- THIS IS A DREAM.
IT'S MY DREAM.

IT'S A LUCID DREAM.
I CAN'T GET HURT.

IT'S A DREAM. IT'S MY DREAM.
IT'S A LUCID DREAM.

CHARLIE, LISTEN TO ME!
YOU'RE NOT DREAMING, OKAY?

JUST STEP ON DOWN
OFF THAT LEDGE.

DON'T. DON'T. PLEASE DON'T --
DON'T COME ANY CLOSER.

-OKAY.
-PLEASE. I DON'T...

I'M NOT GONNA DO ANYTHING.
OKAY? I PROMISE.

-OKAY. OKAY.
-I PROMISE.

I'M GONNA SIT DOWN HERE
NEXT TO YOU, OKAY?

[ BREATHING SHAKILY ]

HEY. LOOK AT ME.

I'M NOT GONNA DO ANYTHING, OKAY?

IT'S ALL RIGHT.
IT'S ALL RIGHT.

JUST STAY BACK.

-NO!
-AAH!

[ GRUNTS ]

LET ME GO.
JUST LET ME GO.

[ Strained ] KEEP SQUIRMING,
IT WON'T BE UP TO ME!

IT'S A DREAM. IT'S A DREAM.
IT'S GOT TO BE A DREAM.

I SWEAR TO GOD, CHARLIE,
IT IS NOT.

I PROMISE YOU, OKAY?

PATIENCE, LET ME GO.

I'M NOT DOING THAT.

I'LL FALL, AND I'LL WAKE UP,

AND MAYBE --
AND MAYBE YOU'LL STILL

MAYBE YOU'LL STILL
BE ALIVE, TOO.

[ BOTH GRUNTING ]

I'M NOT PATIENCE!

PATIENCE IS DEAD, OKAY?!

SHE'S DEAD, AND IT SUCKS,
AND THAT'S THE WAY IT IS!

[ GROANS ]

BUT YOU'RE ALIVE!

YOU'RE HERE!

[ BOTH BREATHING HEAVILY ]

YOU DON'T UND--
YOU DON'T UNDERSTAND.

SHE WAS THE ONLY ONE WHO --

I'M ALONE.

I DON'T UNDERSTAND?
IHAD SOMEBODY.

I LOST SOMEONE ONCE, OKAY?
AND I THOUGHT I WAS ALONE, TOO.

BUT YOU KNOW WHAT? I WASN'T.

PEOPLE THOUGHT I WAS CRAZY,
BUT I NEVER WAS.

I-I NEVER WAS,
AND NEITHER ARE YOU.

AND YOU'RE NOT ALONE.

YOUR OWN PEOPLE SENT US
BECAUSE THEY CARE ABOUT YOU.

I NE--

[ CRYING ]

I NEVER WANTED ANY OF THIS.

I JUST -- I DIDN'T WANT
THE BUSINESS OR THE LEGACY.

I JUST WANTED --

I JUST -- I JUST WANTED
TO MAKE THINGS.

WHAT HAPPENED TO PATIENCE
WASN'T YOUR FAULT.

BUT WHAT HAPPENS NEXT IS.

IT'S YOUR LIFE, CHARLIE.

IT'S YOUR CHOICE.

MAKE SOMETHING.

BUT NOBODY'S SEEN CHARLES
FOR A WEEK.

BRIGHT SIDE --
NO ONE'S BEEN FIRED IN A WEEK,

AND THE BUSINESS
HASN'T GONE UP FOR AUCTION.

NOW, PARKER WAS
THE LAST ONE WITH HIM.

UM...PARKER?

SHE'S NOT HERE.

YEAH, WE CAN SEE THAT.
WHERE IS SHE?

SAID SHE WANTED
TO GO SEE THE FINNS.

I'LL PULL IT UP.

[ KEYBOARD CLACKING,
COMPUTER BEEPING ]

HE'S DOING IT. THIS IS IT.

HE'S SELLING
TO THE FINNISH CAR COMPANY.

MY GRANDFATHER FOUNDED
THIS COMPANY IN 1937.

WELCOME TO DODGSON ENERGETICS.
FOLLOW ME, PLEASE.

HE PASSED IT ON TO MY FATHER.

WHEN HE DIED, IT CAME TO ME.

-MY GRANDFATHER'S MOTTO...
-WATCH YOUR STEP.

...WAS "KEEP MOVING FORWARD."

MY FATHER THOUGHT THAT MEANT

"KEEP MOVING FORWARD
TO THE BANK."

MY DAD WAS...KIND OF A JERK.

TO HIM, THIS -- THIS PLACE
WAS JUST A CASH BOX.

BUT TO ME, IT WAS A PLAYGROUND.

IT WAS CHURCH.

WHEN I TOOK OVER...

WELL, I WANTED TO DO A LOT.

AND I KIND OF LOST SIGHT
OF THAT.

AND I HURT PEOPLE -- YOU.

I HURT YOU.

AND I'M SORRY FOR THAT.

BELIEVE ME, IF I COULD GO BACK
IN TIME AND CHANGE IT, I WOULD,

BUT I GUESS WE ALL HAVE REGRETS.

BUT RECENTLY, I HAD A...

I GUESS YOU'D CALL IT
AN INTERVENTION.

SOMEBODY REMINDED ME --

[ CROWD MURMURING ]

HEY! THE FINNS!

WELL, THANK YOU FOR COMING.

YOU, UH,
YOUR TIMING IS IMPECCABLE.

HAVE I GOT SOMETHING
TO SHOW YOU.

YOU'RE GONNA LOVE THIS.

[ MURMURING CONTINUES ]

[ SIGHS ]

[ CHAINS JANGLE ]

EVERYBODY, COME IN.
COME ON. GATHER AROUND.

[ MACHINE POWERING UP ]

SO, SOMEONE REMINDED ME...

THAT WE CAN'T CHANGE THE PAST...

BUT WE CANMAKE THE FUTURE.

SO, I WOULD LIKE TO ANNOUNCE
OUR PARTNERSHIP

WITH AURINKO MOTORS.

[ CROWD MURMURS ]

BECAUSE THEIR NEW
HYBRID CITY CAR

IS GONNA NEED SOMETHING
TO MAKE IT GO.

SO...

WE'RE GONNA NEED
A LOT MORE HANDS AROUND HERE.

[ CHEERS AND APPLAUSE ]

WHY THE LONG FACE?

OH, JUST...SORTING STUFF.

YEAH, SO, THE CON FAILED --
TECHNICALLY.

[ SCOFFS ] THE CON DIDN'T FAIL.
THE CON WORKED.

IF BY "WORKED," YOU MEAN
"COMPLETELY FELL APART."

HUH? [ SCOFFS ]

SORRY -- WHICH ONE OF US
IS THE GRIFTER?

I'M TELLING YOU --

WE PULLED OFF THE WHITE RABBIT
SUCCESSFULLY.

PULLED OFF THE WHITE RABBIT --
HOW SO?

WELL, THE WHITE RABBIT
IS ABOUT TAKING THE TRUTH,

WHAT'S UNDERNEATH,
AND -- AND BRINGING IT OUT.

AND NOT BREAKING THE MARK
IN THE PROCESS.

EVERY GRIFT IS AN EXCHANGE.

THE TRICK IS TO GIVE ENOUGH
TO HOLD THEM UP,

BUT NOT SO MUCH THAT
YOU GET PULLED OVER WITH HIM.

PARKER, HUH?

PARKER.

WE GOOD?

YOUTELL US.

YEAH. WE'RE GOOD.
