- Hey.

- ROSE:
Hey.

- Something wrong?

- No, nothing.

(SIGHING)

I got the mammogram today,

you know I hate them.

I do.

But it's always fine

and you're always fine.

I know.

I love you.

And I love you.

(BELL RINGING)

(STUDENTS CHATTING)

BOY:
Dare you to do it.

KAITLYN:
Oh, my God,

maybe I guess.

BOY:
Hey, what are you doing

this weekend?

GIRL:
Well what do you think?

I thought we were going

to that party.

That's what I want to do.

I don't want to sit around,

I want to go out.

ED:
Hey!

Kaitlyn!

Ed?

Hey.

ED:
Come on, jump in,

I'll give you a ride home.

KAITLYN:
Hey, how do you...

Where did you...

She's fine,

I'm giving her a ride.

(ENGINE REVVING)

Sure, why not?

Text me later.

Bye.

Bye, later, friend-o.

(POP MUSIC PLAYING

OVER RADIO)

(ED WHISTLING)

So, was that guy your boyfriend?

Sort of.

Uh huh.

He seems

a little immature for you.

We grew up together, so...

We're mostly just friends.

So you haven't had sex yet?

Wouldn't you like to know?

Your dad'd kill me.

(ED WHISTLING)

FEMALE NEWSREADER: Major stock

market indexes are higher today.

Investors are focusing

on companies that beat...

MIKE:
Oh, boy-o.

...their earnings estimates.

The Lunberg 991

Washington DC index

is up one percent, a good...

MIKE:
Ah, you little sh*t!

He's out back, go talk to him.

(KAITLYN LAUGHING)

Dad, Ed got me the new phone.

Yeah, I get 'em

for practically nothing, I...

- Dude, let's have a chat.

- ED:
Something, something wrong?

You can't give

my daughter a phone.

KAITLYN:
Dad!

You can't give her a ride,

either.

- KAITLYN:
Dad, that's so-

- MIKE:
Just be quiet.

- KAITLYN:
He's being nice!

- ED:
She asked me to.

KAITLYN:
Why do you

take his side?

MIKE:
I don't care! Okay?

What is the problem?

He's trying to be nice!

- It's just a phone.

- No, it's not.

I mean, why are we even

having this conversation?

I don't know,

I didn't do anything wrong.

Ed, boy-o,

this isn't working for me.

Mike, we're friends.

No, no, no.

You work for me, okay?

Actually, you know,

you don't anymore.

You're out of here, all right?

Tomorrow, clear your desk out.

Mike.

- Good luck, Ed!

- ED:
Mike!

MIKE:
Kaitlyn!

Let's have a talk here.

KAITLYN:
You are unbelievable!

Every time I make a f***ing

friend, you ruin it!

- MIKE:
Don't swear at me!

- KAITLYN:
I hate living here!

(CLOCK TICKING RAPIDLY)

(CHATTER ECHOING)

You said ten o'clock, right?

PATRICK:
It's the SEC, Mike.

Relax, we're in good shape.

MIKE:
Yeah, yeah.

Omni?

I'm Linda Martinez,

SEC Fraud Division.

- What?

- We have an issue.

As you are

no doubt aware, Mr. Regan,

under Section 4 of the SEC

Compliance Regulations,

any attempt to lobby,

coerce, or collaborate

with any member

of the compliance committee

will trigger an investigation

and a subsequent delay

to any initial public offering.

Well, clearly it wouldn't be in

my client's best interest to...

LINDA:
We have received

evidence of such collaboration.

We've also received evidence of

electronic document tampering.

Look, um...

I'm prepared to resubmit

the documents

in question here and now.

LINDA:
We have therefore

no other choice

than to delay or suspend

your application

for an initial public offering.

Delay?

By what, a couple of weeks?

- Or months.

- PATRICK:
Months!

Are you f***ing kidding me?

We'll be in touch. Good day.

Someone's f***ing with us.

PATRICK:
Oh, my God, my God!

- (ORCHESTRAL MUSIC PLAYING)

- (APPLAUDING)

I don't know.

That play was just

beyond me, I'm sorry, I...

You hated every minute of it.

Sorry, I want my two hours back.

(LAUGHING)

- You were asleep.

- Yeah.

All right, what's wrong?

(MIKE SIGHING)

- Mike.

- MIKE:
I...

Nothing.

- It's fine.

- ROSE:
What?

- We had to fire that guy.

- What guy?

Ed Porter, the I.T. guy.

The one that came around

to the house?

Mm-hm.

Good, he was a creep.

Well, don't worry.

He's long gone.

No, what else?

There's something else.

I'm under pressure with the SEC.

We all thought

it was going fine,

and it's really just

going down the shitter.

- Is it gonna be okay?

- I...

I don't know.

I don't know.

(BEEPING)

(SONAR-LIKE BEEPING)

- ROSE:
Mike.

- MIKE:
Wha...

ROSE:
Mike.

Wake up. I think there's

someone in the house.

- (BEEPING)

- AUTOMATED VOICE: Door opening.

MIKE:
Stay there.

ROSE:
Mike?

- (BEEPING)

- (HEAVY MUSIC PLAYING)

ROSE:
Mike!

Come on,

you piece of f***ing sh*t!

F***!

- F***!

- (BEEPING)

Turn off!

AUTOMATED VOICE:
System set.

ROSE:
What was that?

MIKE:
It's fine,

everything's fine.

ROSE:
No, everything's not fine!

What the f*** was that?

MIKE:

Everything's fine, okay?

Back to bed, everyone,

don't worry.

Kaitlyn, I'm sorry about

that craziness last night.

- You must be tired.

- (CELL PHONE RINGING)

Morning.

JOAN:
Mike, I've got bad news.

We've been hacked.

It looks bad.

We have software glitches

across every single aircraft.

What the f...

JOAN:
I don't know what to tell

you, Mike. He got in somehow.

I already called the police.

Our sales reps

are on the phones now,

calling them one at a time

and telling them

to ignore the email.

That's f***ing great.

MAN:
It's costing us upward

of $1.2 million a day.

What about the emails,

screwing with our clients?

They were definitely

generated from our servers.

They all have our IP address.

Clients think they came from us.

Can we shut him down?

- Who?

- Porter, the guy we fired.

- MAN:
I don't know.

- Who else could do this?

Yeah, but he had access,

so he probably put a bunch

of back doors on the server.

- That's what I'd do.

- Look...

Look, just change everything,

the pass codes, the words.

Do what you guys do.

Secure this place.

- Get it done, please!

- Okay, Mike. Let's go, guys.

All right, quiet, everybody!

WOMAN:
Come on, kids.

Stay together.

Make sure you've got everything!

Bye-bye, honey.

(DIALING TONE)

ANSWERING MACHINE: You've

reached Dr. Francis Klein.

If this is an emergency,

hang up and call 9-1-1.

Otherwise please leave

a message after the tone.

(BEEPING)

Hi, this is Rose Regan,

I'm a patient of Dr. Klein's.

Can, um...

Can you have him call me

as soon as possible, please?

It's, um... It's about

an email he just sent me.

Thank you.

(TOOTING AND BEEPING)

Would you turn that off, please?

Listen,

I'd like everyone to stay

off their smart phones

and their computers for

as much as possible, okay?

- I have a paper to write.

- So write it.

KAITLYN:
Fine.

Everyone in this f***ing house

is crazy.

(CELL PHONE CHIMING)

Doctor Klein?

Yeah, gimme a second.

Yeah, I wanted to talk to you

about the email you sent.

The pathology report?

Yes, that I tested positive

for breast cancer.

You do that? You send that

in an email, really?

KLEIN:

No, I have your pathology report

right here in front of me.

It's negative.

I was just gonna call you
