You didn't even now Bodin, did you?

You need to leave.

Someone hired you.

You didn't even now him.

You won't be doing any acting

with a blac eye.

There is mae-up for that.

Who?

l new it would get out.

Please don't tell my agent.

- Fuc your agent. l want to now who.

Tell me.

Now! Who?

l really don't now.

You're hurting me!

Who is 'X'?

None of your fucing business.

They were all over the place.

l made a bacup.

Don't ever use that on a computer

with an internet connection, O?

Buy an obsolete model

if you still need the info.

Who does such a thing? The NSA?

They were incredibly clever.

l have never seen anmhing lie it.

Did she tell you that?

l had a missed call from her number.

When l called bac, he answered.

Do we now what his next move is?

He's not broadcasting.

He can't do any real damage anymore,

but T.T. would surely be happy

if we could avoid causing a stir.

Suggestions?

Hit him where it hurts.

The cae is really good.

Did you mae it?

lt's still delicious.

They excavated his body and burned him.

No one spoe to me.

Why?

- Why?

Because his body was full of poison.

They wanted to cover it up.

That's all they're good at.

Before someone else

examined his body and found out,

they exhumed him themselves.

They couldn't care less about me.

l eep wanting to tae that down.

He couldn't remember anmhing,

it made him crazy.

GLASS:

You could see it on his face

that he was searching for a name.

SOCKE Did you see a doctor?

The tests never stopped.

And the pills turned him into a zombie.

And all that came from

the toxic waste plant?

Where else?

Your husband was released

from military duty early.

They weren't going

to hold the job any longer.

The job wasn't set up bythe army?

No.

You rang.

Evermhing O?

That picture just appeared

two wees ago in the archive.

The one with both Rangel and Bodin.

We published it.

- So?

l blew up Bodin's face.

Loo, l found this picture online.

Notice anmhing?

lt's the same picture.

They mirrored the image

to reline the contours.

What are you getting at?

The Kuros company

is now called 'Quest Recycling'.

And Bodin's supposed girlfriend

is just an out-of-wor actress.

l don't follow.

The story doesn't chec out.

None of it.

We can't go bac now.

lf we call bac a cover story,

we'll damage the paper's reputation,

we'll damage the brand.

And we get nothing.

Not to mention your career.

The story doesn't chec out.

- Too bad.

But?

lt hit the right people.

Are you telling Hamburg?

No.

No?

We write for nostalgic people,

who believe the paper doesn't lie.

You thin people want to read

that we lost at our own game?

We were used for something foul.

For a cover up.

And you don't care?

l'm hungry.

Won't you stayto eat?

Edith,

Just a second.

l have to go.

Tae a brea. Two wees.

But no more.
