02x08 - Agent of Change

[bunniefuu]

How strange is this life.

To be born into a body.

To certain, uncertain parents.

In this beautiful,
upsetting world.

It is so bizarre.

Am I my higher self...

or am I in the mud?

Am I an agent of change...

or a creator of chaos?

Am I the fool,

the goat,

the witch?

Or am I enlightened?

Hello?

Tyler, hey.

Hey. What's up?

Well, Jeff gave me a
reality check yesterday.

He's running the story, Tyler.

There's nothing I
can say or do. I tried.

Well, why didn't you call me?

I didn't have the
heart to break it to you.

I mean, you were so excited when
I told you I got the job. It's just...

I'm in the story.

Like, there's no way I can
take a job at Abaddonn now.

Tyler, I really feel
like you need to

prepare yourself for
what's about to happen.

Well, what's going to happen?

I don't know.

Well, how am I
supposed to prepare?

Well, you know, you're
just... You're gonna... You...

Oh, my God.

Listen, Tyler, I'm gonna come
into work in a minute, okay?

We're gonna get
our stories straight.

And I'll say whatever
you want me to say.

You'll get your
old job at IT back,

unless the company folds
or everybody goes to jail...

Tyler?

Who was that?

What's wrong?

Tyler, what is it?

Is something the matter?

Tell me.

You don't want
to know. Yes, I do.

It'll be okay. You
can tell me anything.

Is it about your
aunt's timeshare?

Hey.

Mom, we need to talk.

Things are coming to a head.
I feel like you need to know.

Oh, no.

Oh, no, no. It's not
bad. It's not bad. Um...

I've blown the
whistle on Abaddonn.

I found this really damaging
information about the CEO.

And, um...

I leaked it to the LA Times.

And they're running
a huge story.

And I'm in it.

Why would you do that?

Uh, 'cause the guy's a criminal
and the company's really crooked

and they hurt a lot
of people, you know?

And why is that your business?

Mom, it's everybody's business.

No, it's not, Amy.

They brought you back
after all that you did.

And this is how you repay them?

You know, Amy, you have done
a lot of foolish things in your life,

but this is too much.

What's next? Are you gonna
blow the whistle on me?

Forget it. You know what, the
LA Times thinks what I did is brave.

Oh, do they? Yeah.

Are they going to pay you?
Are they going to get you a job?

Are they going to
get you out of debt?

Are they gonna put a
roof over your head?

Mom, there are things
that are bigger than me.

Yes, there are things
bigger than you.

And I cannot stand by and
watch you destroy your own life.

Then don't. I'll move out.

I think you should.

Okay.

I'll get some stuff later.

Hey.

They know, Amy.

What?

Somehow they know.

Who knows?

Abaddonn, Szidon. They
called my editor and my publisher.

They know there's a story.

They don't know what's in
it, but they know there is one.

How?

I don't know. It's a bummer. We
got lawyers crawling all over us.

It was gonna happen eventually
when I called for quotes, but...

Well, you're still
running the story, right?

Of course. We just
wanted to handle them

when we had our ducks in a row.

Now we're in a legal clusterfuck
and we're back on our heels.

Maybe somebody at
the paper told them or...

Amy, they know
about your involvement.

They mentioned you specifically.

It makes me think it's
someone you know.

Krista.

f*cking Krista!

Who's Krista?

She was my assistant.

Oh! She's having a baby,
and I got f*cking sentimental.

I stupidly said
something to her.

Look, Amy, I'm running in to deal
with all this Abaddonn legal stuff,

so let me call
you in a bit, okay?

Yeah. Yeah, yeah,
yeah. Oh, f*cking Krista.

Bye.

Hi. This is Krista.

I'll be on maternity leave
until the end of the year.

If this is work-related,
please try Janice Holm.

Otherwise, leave a
message. Thanks.

I need to see Krista.
Can I see Krista?

She left for the hospital
already. She's having her baby.

Oh, f*ck!

Hey, I'm looking
for Krista Jacobs.

She's in room 112.

- Congratulations!
- Thank you.

Are you so excited?

I'm very excited. I just...

I can't wait to hold him.

Nobody ever tells you...

Wonderful.

Oh, hey, Amy.

Did you come to meet Abel?

I know what you did.

Krista,

you know what you did.

You know what you
did. And I trusted you!

What are you talking about, Amy?

I begged you not
to say anything.

Are you... Are you kidding me?

So just tell me
what you told them.

What's going on, honey?
I have absolutely no idea.

Krista, you have f*cked
me for the last time.

Get out! You have totally...

Oh, make it about you, Amy.

Well, this is it, guys.

This is the end.

You guys want to share what
you're gonna do after this?

I think I'm gonna
catch up on my sleep.

Cool.

Ken?

I don't know. I guess I'll try
to finish my young adult novel.

Okay. Connie?

I'm thinking of getting
into missionary work.

Well, get your shots if
you're going to Africa.

Because a buddy of mine went to
Tanzania, and he went swimming in a lake,

and a parasite crawled up
his a*s and almost k*lled him.

So, you know, don't
unpack that bikini.

Hey, guys, remember,

when one door closes,
another one opens.

So walk through that doorway
and into the next phase of...

Hello?

Tyler, whatever you do,

do not let them get their
hands on my hard drive, okay?

Listen, Krista boned us.

I don't know what I was
thinking confiding in her.

Abaddonn knows, Szidon knows
about me, the article, everything.

Because I told Eileen.

What?

I told Eileen. I had to.

Tyler, what?

She's so pissed. She hates me.
She's never gonna forgive me.

Tyler, oh, no. Oh, no.

Tyler, can we speak
with you for a moment?

Me?

Yes, upstairs.

Okay.

People who... Hey, hey, hey,
hey, hey. What's going on?

Hey. Where are you taking him?

Hey! I'm still in charge
of this department.

If there's something going
on with one of my people,

I need to know about it.

sh*t.

Hey.

They just took Tyler.
What? Who did?

HR. And they're
looking for you, too.

Oh, f*ck. I need a box.

Dougie, can you
find me a box? Yeah.

Has anybody got a box? I got it!

Box. Hard drive. Good.

And bullshit.

Got it. Got it. Go.

Okay. Got it.

Amy? Amy? Yeah?

I'll pray for you.

Likewise.

All right. Okay.

Fantastic.

Oh, okay. Well, good luck, man.

Thanks.

Uh, I got to say, you are the
worst employee I've ever had.

You're the worst
boss I ever had.

We should hang out
sometime. Yeah. I'll call you.

Amy,

we need to see you upstairs.

Mr. Szidon would
like to sit with you.

Yeah. I'm not
really in the mood.

Are those your belongings
or is that company property?

This stuff, yeah, this is just
stuff I'm, um, taking to my car.

I really think it would be
best if you came with us.

Um...

Amy.

Just so you know,

it was all me.

This was my mission, okay?

Don't be mad at
Tyler. Be mad at me.

But the last thing he'd
ever want is to hurt you.

Amy.

Amy, please sit down.

You know Charles Szidon.
This is Stan Rawlins,

d*ck Klein, our chief
legal counsel here.

Amy, what's your
involvement in this article

that's running in the LA Times?

Uh, um...

What's my involvement?

You know about
the article, I assume.

I might know about it. Yeah.

Documents, private
internal documents.

Personal documents.

Personal documents

were given to a reporter
at the LA Times by you.

Can you provide us
with these documents?

No. I can't. Um...

No.

What were they?

Can you describe
the contents or...

I'm not really
gonna discuss that.

I mean, I assume
you're gonna fire me.

So I don't really have
anything else to say.

And you guys just took my
hard drive. So you figure it out.

This is f*cking bullshit.

Anyway, you're gonna know
about it soon enough, right?

Your assumption is correct.

You are no longer
working at Abaddonn.

But that is the least of the
issues you are facing right now.

You've committed
a crime, Ms. Jellicoe.

You've stolen private documents.

Their release could have an adverse
financial impact on this company.

Your cooperation
here is imperative

unless you want us to sue you.

Well, I have a car that doesn't
work and I'm $20,000 in debt.

So knock yourselves out.

Amy, just tell us what you did.

I did what I felt was right.

Oh, for f*ck's sake.

That doesn't help us.

Well, I'm not trying
to help you, obviously.

I tried to make change from
within, and you guys wouldn't listen.

I gave you the job you wanted.
What are you talking about?

But nothing was gonna change.

Your M.O. is to rig the system so you
get rich and everybody else gets screwed.

Everything's about the short
term and money and greed.

I mean, how much
money do you need?

Who are you?

No, I mean, you
know... Who are you?

I'm just a woman who's over it.

I'm tired of watching the world
fall apart 'cause of guys like you.

I tried to take a
little power back.

No. You know what you are?

Because we read your file.
We know your whole story, okay?

You're a mental patient.

You feel, but you don't think.

You cry about the planet.
You weep for the oceans.

You b*tch and you moan, but
you don't understand anything.

You are a hysteric. Yeah.

And if you had the power,
if the world was run by you,

there would be no Abaddonn. Yes.

In fact, you know,
there would be nothing.

You think you changed something
here? You changed nothing.

You will always
be on the margins

because all you have are these
fuzzy-headed idealistic notions

that don't f*cking apply.

Well, if caring about something
other than money is dopey,

I'm a f*cking moron.

And the only thing I feel
right now is satisfaction.

I think the meeting's over.

Hey... Thanks for the 15 years.

Hey, don't... Don't you walk
away from me. I'm talking to you!

Hey! Hey!

You proud of yourself?

You betrayed the company
that gave you a career?

We're gonna come down on
you with everything we have.

You are gonna be crushed
like the bug that you are.

But you're the
one going to prison.

You psychotic f*cking c**t.

You don't do this.
You do not do this.

I am not f*cking done with you.

You hear me? I will
f*cking crush you.

He seemed upset.

Amy. You okay?

I did it.

It's done.

What's done?

It. I mean, they just fired me.

They said they're gonna sue me.

Well, we knew that
was gonna happen.

We did?

Amy, this story is gonna
shift the paradigm, man.

They can't stop it, okay?

It's all worth it.

We'll see.

Amy, you okay?

If you want to come over, I'm still
working. But if you want to hang out,

I'd love to find out what
happened, what they said and...

Yeah. No, I'll, um...

I'll talk to you later, Jeff.

Amy...

Hey.

Hey.

What's up?

I was driving. And, um...

I didn't know where to go.

I've just done something crazy.

So what else is new?

I've got no job.

Great. We can hang out.

You want a beer?

I have...

Levi, who am I?

Who are you?

Am I crazy?

No. You're just full of hope.

You got more hope
than most people do.

It's a beautiful thing to have a
little hope for the world, you know?

There is only one life.

There's so much
I don't understand,

but this I know...

you can wake up
to your higher self.

You can be patient,
and you can be kind.

You can be wise

and almost whole.

You can walk out of
hell and into the light.

You don't have to run
away from life your whole life.

You can really live.

And you can change

and you can be
an agent of change.
