Channeling Page #2

Well...

I'm going to have you

come to your all a moment...

I'll be here... just don't wait too long.

Wyld, in the flesh,

good to meet you.

Want some sushi?

No, I'm a Vegan.

Ha! Bullshit. I've seen your channel.

I shouldn't say this too loud..

but you've got a

...few fans in this company.

Why should you be quiet about that?

I mean, your channel's not exactly

what we put in our promotional materials.

No, I suppose it's not.

Is that why you're

here, promotion?

You're a fan, right?

You watched what

happened the other night?

You've been... uh...

...switched off

for a little while,

is that right?

I mean forgive me,

I... I don't pay too close attention.

I've been gone for a week.

Any trouble?

You got... you and

Tera got in a fight?

That Tara...

Life doesn't offer too

many costars like that.

You were... you were

caught with another girl, right?

or is that me? Wyld stop...

No, that's not what happened.

Think about that. Now,

you should be scripting this.

That's exactly what I'm

talking about, you know?

No half measures.

Whatever your tag is, live it.

You don't think what

I'm doing is enough?

Oh, I mean, you know...

Your numbers are descent.

But Wyld...

You're just a vessel.

You got thousands of people

seeing through your eyes.

You got to get more.

You want top-shelf sponsors?

Then you got to give them everything.

Everything?

Everything.

I gotta mosey.

- You want the tour?

- No, thank you.

You got a great count,

even for a vegan's.

Nice meeting you, Garrett.

A nightmare?

No, uh...

No, that... that was memory.

This can be worse.

Ash...

Did we... uh...

No.

- No?

- Uh uh.

What... what were

you waiting for?

You were kind of passed out.

Alcohol plus opiate-based pain killers...

Oh, no, no, see...

I slipped you a roofie.

Just didn't work out

quite as I expected...

Oh, maybe you should

use a smaller dose.

Yeah, I'll try that.

Seriously, though...

I like you.

But...

No, that is the reason,

believe it or not.

So where's the fire?

Um... Madison and me...

we... we got that new sponsor, and now

- there's all these... obligations...

- I'm off.

Come on, stay right here.

I'll uh...

...make an omelet.

with the one egg

that I have in the fridge.

He promised to sponsor. Go.

I'm so over sponsors.

Why, are they pressuring you?

Yeah, and they're like,

'No, Conner, you take your time...'

'...concentrate on feeling better...'

and then they're like 'Hey,

guess who made nationals.'

Oh, we don't have to do

anything we don't want to, right?

I guess not.

Come on, we gotta do something.

Seriously?

I knew you weren't armed.

You turn off Wyatt's channel?

It's off, yeah.

You look... uh...

different in person.

Most people do.

How'd you get in here?

Your brother's house keys.

Shouldn't have asked that.

You should have.

What are you looking for?

Something that's not here anymore.

Let's get out of here.

I'll buy you a waffle.

So, you and my

brother were stealing cars?

- Racing cars.

- Yeah, stolen cars.

Look, race your own car,

it's fifty viewers.

Race a stolen car,

it's like 50, 000.

So how do you pick these cars?

We got tipped.

There are cars all over this

town just begging to be raced.

I'm talking about race cars.

Barely street legal.

Relegated to grocery getters.

Rolled out for once a

month for a clay wax.

And all it takes is

one pissed-off teenager

one disgruntled valet,

or a little help from the

infamous mission creep.

So basically, we're running

a request line for felons.

Yes.

And what do they get

in return? These tipsters?

They get to watch.

it's about taking risks.

The faster the car,

the closer the race,

the higher the danger

the better the ratings.

On a good day everyone wins.

Sponsor's happy, viewer's happy.

Wyatt and Tara are happy.

Oh, I don't think your brother

was going to make it as a day trader.

And yeah. We had fun.

Fun...

What about the day my

brother died? Was that fun?

What do you think?

Wyatt always likes to leave the

car with a full tank.

Like a rental.

You know. Gas it up and

leave the keys in a night drop.

And that's how the car doesn't

get boosted again.

His little way of saying

thank you, I think.

That's when the three

horsemen showed up.

Get down! get down!

They're gaining on us!

That's it? No shouting, no

threats, just bullets?

Just bullets and buckshot.

I mean, these guys

wanted us to die in a hurry.

And you'd never seen them before?

Never.

Once we got some distance,

Wyatt dropped me off.

Hop out.

Go inside.

What are you gonna do with this thing?

I haven't quite decided yet.

What I might do I don't want

you anywhere near it, so

please just get out and go inside.

Ok, text me when

you are clear of this.

F***.

Did my brother keep broadcasting?

And did you watch?

What did you see?

Not much.

Not enough.

He called me, you know?

That night.

What did he say?

He said to say hi.

What would happen if

I relaunch Wyatt's channel?

Uh... it would suck.

Tara.

If these people think

that Wyld is still alive,

he might just come out of hiding.

Hit men don't like unfinished business.

Look, if your serious about this,

then I'm on board.

Thank you but no.

This is between me and my-

- Just stop right there.

Wyatt was your brother,

but he was my partner.

There is no Wyld Life without me.

You know, Wyatt and I did

have one thing in common.

What's that?

I can drive.

Oh, dude, dude, dude, look.

We're ready, we're ready.

- Should I bring it?

- yeah, yeah... come on.

Come on, come on.

Hood up, hood up.

Here we go.

Here we go.

See that countdown?

You got to get this, come on.

There it is, there it is.

Are... you ready for this?

Yeah, baby...

Come on, come on.

on three...

...two...

Let it go.

Let it simmer, guys.

Man on fire!

Do it!

Yeah! Yeah!

You took these with a red light camera?

That's right.

Well...

How did DMV know

where to send the picture?

I mean, Dino here doesn't

seem to have a license plate.

They didn't come from the DMV.

We hack the intersection cameras.

That's the only way

to get the raw files.

Far out!

I don't know...

it seems risky.

That's the work!

That risk, that's a part

of the art, man.

I mean, without it,

those would be worthless.

- You got any sponsors?

- Hell, no.

I'm not a sellout.

That's the thing about street art.

The second youre bought,

you're sold.

It's done. over.

Is that Wyatt's channel?

Yeah.

- Can I take a look at it?

- that's why I brought it.

There's a lot of stuff in here.

That records the last

thing he looked at?

No.

These aren't VCRs, grandpa.

They're transmitters.

ready.

For what?

For what we call a rolling buffer.

A contact camera

constantly records them.

And erase and record over

and over again.

What's the point if

it doesn't store anything?

The software uses the buffer

to add it out to your blinks.

And drop signals.

Otherwise, you know, these channels,

they would be super annoying to watch.
