Paranoia Page #5

You're out?

You are only out, my son,

when I say you're out!

I own you right now.

You see?

I can get to anyone.

Don't make this harder

than it has to be.

It's just business, Adam.

Everybody steals, everybody lies.

There's no right or wrong.

There's just winning or losing.

Now the first order of business

is lifting Emma's fingerprints.

So my parents

are having this thing

for my brother's engagement

this weekend.

You wanna go with me?

To meet your parents?

It's just dinner and drinks.

You, uh...

You sure I'm relationship material?

You know what? It's...

It's actually gonna be really boring.

- Probably better if you don't.

- Hey.

Of course I will.

Even if it is boring?

Yeah, even if it's boring.

Hey, what happened to you?

Kev!

What are you doing here?

What do you think

I'm doing here?

Your interview. Right.

Uh...

- How'd it go? I spoke to HR.

- No, you didn't.

I'm sorry, man. I, uh...

I've been under a ton of pressure.

I completely forgot...

Yeah, I understand, man. Your new

apartment, new car, new girlfriend.

You have no idea

what I'm dealing with.

No, I don't.

And I don't think I ever will.

- Thanks.

- Come on, Kev. I'm sorry, man.

Kev!

Mr. Goddard wants to see you.

Uh-huh.

Yeah, I understand that.

Wyatt has to consider our offer.

He has no choice.

I mean, he's tap dancing

on the Titanic.

Come on in.

Look, somebody just walked in.

I've got something

I've got to deal with.

All right. Thanks.

Don't forget, you have

a lunch reservation at the club.

Come on. Let's take a drive.

I'll buy you lunch.

Got some interesting news

this morning concerning you.

Thought I'd make sure it was true

before I talk to you about it.

- Is everything all right?

- You tell me.

The DOD has given us

preliminary funding for Type X.

- We'll leave it here, Mr. Goddard.

- Thanks, Bud.

- Well, what do you think?

- It's powerful.

Yeah, it is.

Consider it a loaner

for saving Type X.

- Jock, I couldn't.

- Yeah, you could.

Power is the juice,

get used to drinking it.

I heard you talking

about Occura.

There's a lot of buzz about it.

Yeah, Occura's been,

uh, gestating

for... quite a few years.

We only recently were able to put

all of the elements together

to make it happen.

- I'll have coffee.

- I'll have a water.

Very good.

Imagine walking around

with nothing but your cell phone.

No wallet, no keys.

Like a digital wallet.

It'll be your driver's license,

it'll be your credit card,

it'll be more than that.

Super slim. Foldable, with a battery

that recharges itself

from any ambient electrical source.

It'll know where you've been,

who you've been with.

It'll track your priorities,

expenditures,

your health, calendar.

It will know who you are.

And it's all ours.

You think people really want

all that personal information

under one roof?

It's not the roof that matters, Adam.

It's the warm fuzzy feeling

of the home under it.

People are so distracted these days,

they don't know who they are.

But we will.

We'll know them better

than they know themselves.

Oh, my goodness.

Jock.

Nick.

How long has it been?

Not long enough.

You look like

you're holding up all right.

Oh, I'm doing fine.

What brings you here?

Lunch. Lunch brings me here.

- You remember Judith.

- Oh, of course.

- How are you, Judith?

- Good.

You remember Adam Cassidy.

He designed your Ethion.

Yes, he did.

Hello, again, Adam.

He reminds me of you.

Way back when,

before you walked out on us.

Let's not muddle the facts.

You asked me to walk

and locked the door behind me.

Besides, I was smarter than Adam here.

And I didn't spend all my time

kissing your ass.

How is Ethion? We've heard

remarkably little about it.

Mm. Ethion's fine.

How's Occura?

Right on schedule.

And it's something you're

never going to be able to duplicate.

Is that so?

Remember when we used

to share ideas, Nick?

I try not to.

When we put our heads together,

there was no problem we couldn't solve.

Nothing we couldn't make.

There was no problem I couldn't solve.

Nothing I couldn't make.

I miss your friendship.

Why don't we sit down together sometime.

Always so full of sh*t.

You sit here like...

...like some big shot

with boy wonder here,

blowing smoke up your ass

like it's still relevant.

The truth is, I'm gonna bury you,

and your boy here

is gonna be working for me again.

Because working for you,

means he'll be working for me.

Don't let your lunch get cold, Nick.

Nice seeing you, Judith.

He's running

search after search on Goddard.

What is he looking for?

I don't know.

I think this

boy's gone soft on us.

Were you going to ignore my call?

You should have told me

Wyatt was gonna be there.

Why do you keep pacing so much?

You look nervous.

You have something you want to tell me?

Where are you?

Now let me explain to you

how this is going to work.

We hit one of your friends first.

Or maybe the girl.

If you even touch her...

Then get us what we need.

You have two days

to break into Eikon.

This is your last warning.

Help! Help me! Somebody help me!

He said I had two days.

That was the night before last.

These people are everywhere.

Put cameras in your house.

I'm sorry. I just...

I messed up, Dad.

I thought I knew what I was doing.

You have to figure a way out.

Adam.

Adam.

- Adam!

- This is serious, OK?

You got to figure a way out.

It's not that easy.

OK? I put a lot of people

I care about in danger.

Adam, I think

the FBI is the only option.

I could go to jail.

Or they could kill you.

There was a black car and it

just came out of nowhere and it hit him.

Slow down. Is he all right?

Where are you?

I've been trying to reach you all day.

Kev's at the hospital, but he's OK.

I think they're discharging us now.

OK, were there witnesses?

Did anyone get the plates?

I don't think so. I don't know, it just

all happened so fast. I got to go.

- OK, call me back.

- I will.

Hey!

Hey! What's the matter with you?!

Go, go, go, go!

On your knees.

- I'll do it, I'll do it!

- Get on your knees!

You're going in tonight, and you'll need

Emma's phone to do it.

Get moving.

Can I come in?

I haven't been honest with you.

What do you mean?

There's things I want to tell you

that I haven't told you.

What is it?

Mr. Cassidy.

- Yeah?

- Working late tonight?

Burning that midnight oil.

Adam?

I've lost floors one through five.

We've got security lights

in sector two.

Hold your position.

Get our IT guy on the line.

Before we move on to sector three,

let's check that server.

I want the list

of everyone in the building.

Control...

- I'm only showing one exec present.

- Who is it?

Adam Cassidy.

Oh, come on.

Hi, it's Emma. Leave a message.

Marty, go check on Adam Cassidy.

Roger, I'm en route. Come on!

Adam Cassidy is not in his office.

Sh*t.

All hands on, get this guy!

Use any means necessary.

Clear.

Mr. Cassidy!

We've got somebody at the vault.

What the hell?
