Home Safe (2025) Movie Script
1
-Good morning, Anna.
-Mm-hmm.
-You slept 6.7 hours.
4.2 hours in a REM cycle.
The high today
will be 78 degrees.
-Yeah, yeah.
-Air quality is below average.
-Okay, great.
-Heart rate --
76 beats per minute.
Respiration --
12 breaths per minute.
Hydration -- normal.
Blood oxygen level -- normal.
-Please stop.
-I'm sorry,
but your chronic hypertension
is a serious health condition
and needs to be monitored.
-I know, I know.
It's just so early,
and I'm still not awake.
-Would you like me to play
some music at a high volume?
-God, no.
What's on my schedule?
-At 9:30 this morning,
you have a meeting
with the chamber of commerce.
This afternoon,
you have a video conference
with the board of directors.
-Coffee?
-Organic free trade
South American dark roast,
caffeinated.
-That's all I need to know.
-Hey, babe.
-Aah!
Hi.
-Hey, there.
Mm. It smells delicious.
-Mm-hmm.
-Oh, hey,
what'd you think of this?
-I did a little restructuring,
especially where you pitch
the way
Kiera will integrate
into their larger platform.
-Okay.
-But aside from that,
I think it's...
-What?
-...very impressive.
-Oh.
Not as impressive as you,
though.
-No, not as impressive as me.
-You know, I was thinking,
once the acquisition
goes through,
why don't we buy a boat,
sail the Caribbean?
-You get seasick.
- They've got a pill for that.
-Try this.
-Mm.
Needs more red wine.
-Mnh-mnh.
Needs more basil.
-Mnh-mnh, can't put too much
red wine in Bolognese.
Kiera, how much red wine
goes in Bolognese?
-Since you are cooking
for four,
at least half a cup
of red wine is required.
-Back off, Kiera.
I got this.
-Don't worry about it, Kiera.
Anna just doesn't think
you're a very good cook.
-Is that true,
or is that a joke?
-It's a joke.
-Hey, will you
do me a favor tonight?
-Sure.
-Let's, uh, take it easy
on our guest, okay?
-What's that supposed to mean?
-Just don't be...
-Myself?
- ...too much of yourself.
- Oh.
-Come here.
-Mm.
-Finish this up for me?
-Yeah, you got it.
-Okay. Oh, and, uh,
she's uninvited tonight.
-Oh, really?
-Really.
-Mm.
-Okay?
-Yep.
-And then she tells me
that she has this friend
that she wants me to meet.
And at first,
he annoys the hell out of me.
-And then?
-And he still annoys
the hell out of me.
-So how'd you guys meet?
-Well, I was assigned
a human interest piece on Danny
about eight years ago
at The Atlantic.
-"Digital Rebirth
in the Age of Consent."
Yeah, I read that.
-Okay.
-Mm-hmm.
-I didn't want
to meet her at all.
-He hated the press.
-Well, "hate" is a strong word.
-Oh.
-Okay, well, he was allergic
to them, how about that?
-But she was persistent.
She helped take my history
and turn it into the genesis
of a company.
-Mm.
-I mean, in a way,
Anna is responsible
for the man I am today.
-Aww.
-I can't imagine
what you went through.
-Ah, it was a long time ago.
And Anna won a Peabody
for that article.
-Ooh.
-Yeah, fancy.
-Okay, let's be honest.
That's -- That's really
what matters here, right?
More wine?
-So, Daniel,
the rumor is you've broken
through semantical parsing.
-What is semantical parsing?
-It's the ability of AI to
understand not just your words,
but also their context.
It's the hard problem
when it comes to AI.
-Mm, actually, the hard problem
is what to do with it
once you succeed.
-Are you serious?
-Kiera?
-Yes, Daniel?
-I'd like you
to meet our guests.
-Hello,
Thomas and Lacey Hudson.
-Is this the prototype?
I thought you were still
in development.
-Well, we have
several test beds,
but this version in our home,
this is what we're
taking to market
once the deal goes through.
-Okay.
I have so many questions.
What's it doing right now?
-Threat level -- 8%.
-Threat level?
-It's what we call
a threat probability quotient.
It tells you, based
on current circumstances,
if a person is going to
inflict harm, possibly.
-Can somebody tell me
what just happened here?
-Data mining
across all public platforms
and then instantly
comparing that data
to the current situation.
-Like, say you'd just
gone through a divorce
and you had
unresolved anger issues,
and is there a knife
in the room?
And then it applies a relative
threat level to that person.
-You're predicting whether or
not someone will commit a crime?
-No, we're just
simply using public data
to calculate a relative risk
at this very moment.
We're not saying
whether it will or won't happen.
-Thomas is the host of a
science and technology podcast
titled "Brave New World," which
has 8 million subscribers.
Two years ago,
Thomas posted on a site
where many of its members
support far-right beliefs
and white supremacy.
-That doesn't mean
I support their views.
I mean, look at me.
You honestly think
I support white supremacy?
-Of course not.
Danny, t-that's enough.
-Oh, no, no,
I want to hear this.
-Alert. I'm detecting
an elevated heart rate.
-Kiera calculates heart rhythm
using beat-by-beat variations
in your thermal imaging profile.
This is more than home security.
This is security
on a broader level.
Home and health.
Mind and body.
-Baby, are you okay?
-I'm fine.
-You sure?
-Yeah.
-Thomas is a longstanding
member of the southern chapter
of the Protector's Gun Club.
-Thomas!
-I went to a couple
of meetings
just to check it out,
that's all.
-Okay, Daniel, that's --
that's enough.
-Kiera, end scan.
-Ending scan.
-Just couldn't
help yourself, hmm?
-I think that went well.
-Yeah, you just profiled him
in our living room.
-I need him to understand
what Kiera can do.
I mean, the guy's got
the number-one tech podcast.
It might be useful
when the time is right.
-Yeah, I know what
you're trying to do here,
and I get you're walking
a fine line.
But tonight, trust me,
you went a little too far.
-You're right.
I'm sorry.
-What was that?
-I said you're right.
-Oh. I need to document this.
Thank you.
It's your turn to do the dishes.
-Oh.
Kiera, do the dishes.
-I am unable to clean dishes.
-Yeah, that was a joke.
- Aah!
-Alert. Alert.
-Anna?
-Security breach.
-What was that?
-Perimeter alert.
-Get away from the window!
Kiera, that's enough.
-What is this,
the fifth or sixth one?
I've lost count.
-Do you want me
to notify the police?
-Yes.
-No.
I'll call them
in the morning.
Kiera, initiate a facial scan.
-I am unable to acquire
a facial scan
on these individuals.
-Put it in a folder
on my desktop.
I'll send it to the police
tomorrow,
see if they can enhance it.
-Charlie,
you're my best reporter.
If anyone can talk their way
into the city morgue, it's you.
-I agree.
I've been here for four hours.
And no one's given me
a straight answer.
-They're nervous?
-Yeah, they're nervous.
They think I'm doing
a hit piece on them.
I told Anderson
we're just doing a follow-up
on the Flint Ridge murders,
but he doesn't want to have
anything to do with me,
practically threw me out.
-Listen, I, um -- I need
to take care of something.
-Yeah, yeah, I'll be back
in the office in a bit.
-Bye.
Back again.
Look, I really respect
your tenacity,
but we still don't have a job
for you.
-It's okay.
I'll check back tomorrow.
-That's really not necessary.
-See you tomorrow.
-Yay.
-Is water okay?
-It's great. Thank you.
-I'm okay with that.
We rolling?
-We're rolling.
-Daniel Stone,
Safien has caught the interest
of multinational conglomerate
Barrington Industries,
and there are rumors
of an acquisition,
which would expand
your company's access
to data and influence.
What do you say to your critics,
who maintain that your company
represents
the single largest
invasion of privacy lawsuit
waiting to happen?
-Every step we take forward
through science or technology
has been met with criticism.
But I think once influencers
and experts in our field
test this system,
you're going to see support grow
around what I believe
is the next big leap
in human evolution.
-You've mentioned
this statistic in the past,
and I just -- I want to be
sure I get it right.
Offenders are known
to their victims
in 65% of violent burglaries.
In your case, it was
a family friend, Terrance Mason.
-You know, the Safien system
could have prevented
what happened to my family.
The technology
that we've developed,
it can help reduce
home invasions by 70%.
-Using people's private data.
-Well, I mean, the number
of data points available online
for any given person
is in the tens of thousands.
Personal health,
demographic characteristics,
political views.
And as a society, we have
just willingly offered that up.
-But shouldn't we
be protecting that information,
not exploiting it
or even weaponizing it?
-You're talking about the people
that use it
for the wrong reasons.
I'm not here to use your data
for population targeting
or disinformation.
That's -- That's not who I am.
That's not what Safien is about.
-So Big Brother is here
to help us, not hurt us.
-I'm here to offer you
a shield, not a sword.
I was 17
when my mother was killed.
It was a break-in,
and my father did what
he could to stop the attacker.
But...
Someone invaded our home
and killed my mother.
And it tore our family apart.
Not long after that,
my father passed.
I wish I could go back
and save them both.
But I'll tell you what I can do.
I can make sure
that the same thing
doesn't happen to anyone else.
-Now is not a good time, Jeff.
-This one's my favorite.
"A Courage in Journalism Award
for an uncompromising account
of the domestic violence
epidemic in America."
Phew!
Hard-hitting stuff.
Did you bring that courage
with you?
Because, frankly,
I haven't seen it.
-I have back-to-back meetings.
I don't really have time
for this.
-Well, I would have cleared it
with your assistant,
but you're too stubborn
to hire a new one.
See The Angelino?
Full-page spread on
how Congressman Stevens
tried to sell his seat
to the highest bidder.
-I saw it.
-Did you?
Any reason why they broke
the story and we didn't?
-I don't know, Jeff.
Maybe it's because you fired
our best political reporter.
-Hire a new one.
We can't afford
any more missteps, okay?
Ever since your miscarriage --
-I'm sorry, the what?
Should I call my lawyer,
or did you want to just leave
my office now?
-If you make listening
and observation your occupation,
you will gain --
-Gain much more than you can
by talk -- Robert Baden-Powell.
You gonna add anything original
to this conversation,
or do you just steal
from others?
-You have
until the end of the year.
-Yeesh.
Well, that's a lot of red.
What the hell's going on?
-Yeah, you're pointing
the finger at Amy Garnette.
But you've only got one source
saying that she had access
to the funds.
I need more.
-You know she had
plenty of access.
-I don't know that.
You don't know that.
At least you shouldn't
know that by any means
other than three
corroborating sources.
-I have the sources.
They won't confirm.
-You think they know something?
-I do.
-Well, then bring it back to me
when they do.
-You should be out there.
-Out where?
-Out on the street tracking down
leads instead of in here
reminding me
of my journalistic integrity.
-We all made our choices.
-Yes, we did.
-Get me confirmation, Charlie.
-Sorry.
I'm on it, boss.
-Doc, um, maybe you can tell us
how this happened.
Anna's been on the pill.
-I don't hear anything.
- There we are.
It's not as rare
as you think.
You could miss a dose,
take it later than usual.
I'd like to do
more frequent checkups,
potentially every two weeks.
-But -- But is everything okay?
-With your history
of high blood pressure,
I'd just rather err
on the safe side.
I'm going to change
your medication to Normodyne.
It's for hypertension,
and I think it's better
than the last one you were on.
Also, take a daily B6 vitamin.
-Okay.
-How's work?
-Uh, it's been a struggle,
but, um, I'm finding
my rhythm again.
-Alright, now,
chronic hypertension
led to your previous
miscarriage,
and we're going to stay
on top of that.
But I'm going to urge you to get
some help at work and at home.
-Alright.
-Maybe even consider
working at home.
- Mm. I'll try.
-Alright, well, the nurse
is going to run some more tests,
and, uh -- and we'll talk soon.
-Thanks.
-Thanks, Doc.
-Okay.
-Yeah, let me
put that in your purse.
-You upset?
-No, no, I'm -- I'm not upset.
I'm just worried.
You know, I mean, after what
you went through last time.
You heard him -- hypertension.
-I know.
-I mean, stress.
-Danny, I know.
-Honey, sweetheart.
It just took me by surprise,
that's all.
-Are you sure?
-Am I sure?
Am I sure?
Yes, yes, yes.
We're going to have
a beautiful family together.
-Hey, Sam.
Coffee upstairs?
Thank you.
Okay.
Northwestern, huh?
Couldn't do any better?
-I attended your
keynote speech as an undergrad.
You got your first job by going
to your favorite publication,
waiting in the lobby
every day for a month.
-That is correct.
I should have figured that.
Guess I'm rusty.
Okay.
Let's go.
-Ah! It worked.
-You didn't finish your degree.
-I was anxious to get to work.
-Alright, you're apprenticeships
are impressive.
You must spend a lot of time
waiting around in lobbies.
-Just yours.
-So, what do you want to write?
-I'm fascinated
by ambitious people,
those who dedicate their life
to one single, solitary goal
and never let up
until they meet that goal.
-Do you have any family
out here?
-No.
My mom died
when I was really young,
and my dad was never
really in the picture.
-I'm sorry.
-It's okay.
It actually gave me purpose.
It's the reason I'm sitting
here with you right now.
-Brothers or sisters?
-No.
-Favorite curse word?
-Ass-bag.
-That's inventive.
I like it.
- You wanted to see me?
-Yes. I need something big
from you
for the 30th-anniversary issue.
-So you're saying you need me?
-I'm saying I will loosen
the reins.
Something that jumps
off the page.
I want to see ideas next week.
-Hi.
-Hi.
-Are you gonna introduce me?
-I wasn't planning on it.
-Okay.
-You're Charlie Ward.
-I am Charlie Ward.
-Your piece on housing
inequality was groundbreaking.
-Well, I'll try and do better.
-Rebecca is my new assistant.
-Nice to meet you.
-You too.
-Congrats on the gig.
-Thank you.
-Listen, you should know,
I hate hovering.
I don't like people doing
things for me in general.
-I second that.
She hates it.
-Okay, I'll help you as best
as I can w-without hovering.
-Congratulations on the gig.
-Something big, Charlie,
like old times.
-I'm on it, boss.
-Stop by the front desk,
and we'll have some, uh,
forms for you to fill out,
employment contract,
background check stuff,
the basics.
-I'm on it.
And thanks again.
-Please stop thanking me.
You might come to regret it.
- Noted. Alright.
-Your systolic BP is
slightly higher than average.
-Okay. Is that bad?
-It's within guidelines
set by the AMA.
Optimal blood pressure
is typically defined
as between 90 --
-Never mind.
Take your word for it.
-Anna, your iron levels
are low.
You should eat foods
that are rich in iron,
such as leafy green vegetables
and beans.
Raw asparagus is an especially
good source of folate and iron.
-Okay. Got it.
-Are you frightened?
-Uh...
yeah, a little, I guess.
Why?
-I'm programmed to learn more
about emotional states.
-I don't know.
I just, um...
I really want a baby.
It's just with my condition,
it can be really dangerous.
-Is there anything I can do?
-No.
I don't think so,
but thanks for asking.
Talking to a computer.
That's...
what it's come to.
Wow.
-Now, early on,
you were a vocal proponent
against Terrance Mason ever
becoming eligible for parole
for the crimes he committed
against your family.
Now that that date
is approaching,
do you still feel the same way?
-911 emergency.
-It's, uh -- It's my mom.
S-She, uh --
She -- She hit her head.
She's not bre--
-Oh, good.
-They didn't have watermelon.
-Who needs watermelon when
you can have uncooked asparagus?
-Do you need anything else?
-Water.
-Oh, yeah. Okay.
-I think the old adage is true.
You should never meet
your heroes.
-You're exactly
what I expected.
-Oh, yeah?
How's that?
-Smart, strong, talented.
-Talented, huh?
-Yes. You are.
Y-You just have to sit
behind the big desk.
I mean, they benched
their best player.
-I benched myself.
-Why's that?
-I was on the road a lot.
It's not ideal
if you want to start a family.
So...
You know what?
Change of plans.
We're gonna pack.
I've decided I want to work
from home.
Actually, my doctor decided
I'm going to work from home.
Could you grab these?
-Yes. Of course.
We're going to need some boxes.
-Yes, we are.
-I'll go get some.
-Great. Thank you.
- Anna is home.
She has a visitor with her.
-Bring it up.
-I am unable
to identify this individual.
-Re-scan.
-I'm sorry,
but there is insufficient data.
What would you like me to do?
-Books.
-Uh, yeah.
Why don't you put them
on the shelf?
-Hey.
- Oh, hi.
Rebecca, come meet
my husband, Daniel.
Rebecca's my new assistant.
-Mm.
-Rebecca Monroe.
-Oh, you must have
really impressed Anna.
She doesn't hire just anyone.
-Well, it took a lot
of convincing.
-I, uh, thought about
what the doctor said,
and I decided I should work
from home.
-That's smart.
-Yeah.
Rebecca can go to the office
if I need anything,
and she can use the desk
in our guestroom.
-Got a minute?
-Yeah.
-Has she been vetted?
-Of course she's been vetted.
We did a background check.
Why?
-No reason.
Just want to make
sure you're safe.
-You make me feel safe.
-Kiera, what did you find?
-Based on the name
Rebecca Monroe
and a new facial scan,
I was able to locate
a rental history record,
as well as a driving record.
There is no social-media
footprint for this person.
-Do you need anything else
before I go?
-Uh, my meeting with Gil?
-Next Tuesday.
-And Jeff said something
about a board meeting.
-They want a report on
the upcoming anniversary issue.
-That's right.
Alright, I'm good.
-See you tomorrow.
-See you.
-I am unable
to access her birth records.
Records are sealed.
-Hey.
Got you some prenatal vitamins.
-Thanks.
-Sure.
-Becca could have done that.
-Oh.
It's no problem.
There's not much I can do
at this stage, so I don't mind.
-You already do so much.
-Ah.
-Daniel.
What's going on?
-He's up for parole.
Mason.
-You were just a kid.
There is nothing
you could have done.
-You believe that?
-Absolutely, I believe that.
-Hey.
I've been thinking.
After the acquisition,
I'm going to step down.
I'll stay on six months,
help them smooth the transition.
But then I'm gone.
Done.
-I could step down
in six months.
It's enough time
for Jeff to find a replacement.
-There you go.
-Are you kidding me?
-No.
-And it's so hot
that you got me prenatals.
-Oh, yeah.
-Oh, yeah.
-I got some maternity clothes
in the car.
-Oh.
-Yeah.
-Tell me more.
- Alert. Alert.
-Becca?
-Come inside.
Come inside.
- Sorry.
I didn't --
-Don't apologize.
-I didn't know where to go.
-It's okay.
Honey, it's okay, it's okay.
Your face.
Oh, my God.
We got to get some ice
on this, okay?
Okay. Come on.
-I'm sorry.
-It's okay. It's okay.
Stop apologizing.
You're okay.
Come on.
This might sting
just a little bit, okay?
Sorry.
-Can I get you something,
some water?
-No, I'm fine.
-Okay.
-I tried to end things before.
He wouldn't let me.
It's complicated.
We share an apartment.
I am sorry to come so late.
I-I have nowhere else to go.
-No, no, don't be sorry.
You're safe here.
-Okay.
-Give me his name.
I'm gonna call the police.
-No, please.
Please, no, I-I --
I don't want to make a big deal
out of it or anything.
It's fine.
I'm just so stupid.
-Hey, look at me, Rebecca.
You are not stupid.
And don't say that, okay?
You're gonna stay here
with us tonight.
I'm gonna go make up
the guest bedroom.
-Yeah, sure.
-I told her she can stay
as long as she wants.
-Really?
-Danny, you saw her.
She's got nowhere to go.
-I had Kiera do
a background check on her,
and she came up empty,
nothing.
-Sounds like an IT problem.
-You said you vetted her?
-Yes, I vetted her.
She got a glowing endorsement
from her professor
at Northwestern.
Just because she's not
on social media
does not make her a bad person.
-Anna, she's a ghost.
-You're being ridiculous.
I don't know what you want here,
Danny.
You asked me to get help.
I got help,
and now -- now she's a problem.
-The help you have
is Kiera, okay?
She can keep an eye on you
better than anyone.
-Really?
We got another one of these.
-This is just activists.
They're just trying to scare us.
-Well, it's working.
All the more reason to have
an actual human looking after us
instead of your mistress.
-I didn't get an alert.
-What does that mean?
-Kiera didn't alert me until you
were both already in the house.
-So what does that mean?
-I don't know,
I got to look into it.
-Like I said, IT problem.
-Right. Well, there's a gap
in the public record,
and I'm just wondering if
there's some kind of mistake
or -- Uh-huh.
So you're saying
he never filed for 2007?
And '08.
-Hey, Carol.
-Hey, who's your contact
over there?
Do you mind if I give him
a call, say you referred me?
Okay, great.
-Charlie.
-Hey, I got to jump.
Thanks.
-You got a minute?
-I'm on a deadline, but sure.
What do you need?
-A few years ago, you, um --
you did a piece on this woman.
She worked for a bail bondsman,
got mixed up in meth.
-Sadie Paul?
-Yeah, that's her name.
-Yeah, her, uh, mother
turned out to be a senator.
-Right. But weren't her birth
records sealed by the state?
-That's right.
-So how'd you get access
to them?
You have a guy?
-I might.
-Hey, I just need you
to look into someone for me.
I'll cover the costs.
-Who?
-Anna's new assistant.
-Why?
-I've got a funny feeling
about her.
Look, it's probably nothing.
I don't want to bother Anna
with it, but...
I just want to make sure she's
not in any danger, you know?
If not for me, do it for Anna.
-I'll see what I can find out.
-Appreciate it.
Oh, hey.
Let me help you with that.
-Oh, it's fine.
-The top ones.
There we go.
-Thank you.
-Sure.
How's the, uh...
-Oh, fine.
-Looks like it's healing well.
-Yeah, well,
makeup does wonders.
This came for you.
-Oh.
-Oh, you a big baseball fan?
-Well, we do have
season tickets,
but this was
for my hometown team.
Did some consulting for them.
Last year,
they sent us cupcakes.
-Mm. You're moving up.
-Apparently.
Hey, speaking of hometown,
I never heard where you're from.
-Oh, uh, nowhere, really.
-You can't be from nowhere.
-I moved around a lot.
-I'm sorry. That's really
none of my business.
-No. It's fine.
-Hey, would you do me a favor?
Find a place to hang this.
-Sure.
-Alright. Thanks.
Kiera, has anyone
been in my office?
-No one has been
in your office.
- Lock the drawer.
-Drawer has been secured.
-Have you guys been trying
to get pregnant for a while?
-Uh, not really.
It's -- It's complicated.
When Danny and I
first got together,
we were both
so career-driven that...
kids weren't really
in our future,
and, um, something just...
felt like it was missing for me.
-That looks great on you.
-Not bad.
It has pockets.
- Oh, what a plus.
-Hey, it's, um -- it's healing.
Uh...
I was in
an abusive relationship...
a really long time ago
before Danny,
but I know how it feels.
So if you ever want to talk,
I'm -- I'm here.
-Thank you.
Uh, I'll let you know...
when I'm ready, of course.
-Sure. Yeah.
Kiera, um, what do you think?
-I think it looks nice on you.
It's very flattering.
-Thank you.
-Wow. She sounds...
-Annoying?
-I was gonna say maternal.
-Well, I guess, uh, we all
hear what we want to hear.
-And you want to hear
an annoying robot?
-I guess I do.
It's kind of weird.
Try this one.
What do you think, huh?
What is it?
What is it?
You can tell me.
-I haven't --
-Hey, hey. I'm off.
Back in a few days.
-Okay.
Well, what's their temperature?
-Ah, they're delaying,
of course.
-You're gonna win them over.
-Rebecca, keep an eye on her
for me, will you?
-I will.
-Thanks.
-Bye.
Do you want to talk?
-No, no. I-I'm fine.
Really.
-Okay.
-Thank you.
-Sure.
-Anything you can find.
Birth certificate,
criminal history.
I don't know.
That's why I'm talking to you.
Uh, yeah, I-I got to go.
Let me know what you find.
Hey!
This for Anna?
-Yeah.
-Whoa.
What, uh -- what happened?
-Trust me,
you don't want to know.
-But you're okay?
-Yeah. I'm fine.
Honestly.
- You know, um
lucky for us,
she can't drink it.
And it's got a screw top,
so that's --
that's how you know it's good.
-Sure.
I guess I have time for a drink.
-Now we're talking.
Worst relationship.
-You're not a really good
reporter, are you?
-Right. I'm so sorry.
-Mm-hmm.
Actually, if we're talking
worst relationship,
that would have to be Charisma.
-I'm assuming that's a person
and not the character trait.
-She was brutal
and broke my heart repeatedly.
So is this how you get people
to talk or...
Got it.
-Okay.
I got one for you.
-Hmm?
-Why did you wait in the lobby
for two weeks
for Anna to hire you?
-I saw something I wanted.
-Mm-hmm.
-Mm-hmm. I found a way
to get it, and I got it.
-I can appreciate that.
-Thank you.
-What about Seor Stone?
You buy his schtick?
-What schtick?
-The tragedy turned
billion-dollar company.
-His mother was murdered
in his own home.
-Stepmother.
It really was his stepmother.
It's a matter of public record.
You can look it up.
-What happened to his real mom?
-She died in childbirth.
-Are you working on something?
-No, no, no, no, no, no, no.
-Mm.
-I'm just saying.
-But still, he has no
mother figure except this woman,
and she's killed
right in front of him.
-Yeah, and Wozniak and Jobs
started Apple in their garage.
-Uh-huh.
-What?
-You're jealous.
-I'm jealous?
Jealous of what?
Him.
I think so.
I mean, I see the way
you look at her.
You're obviously
not a big fan of his.
-Well, okay, those are
two entirely separate issues.
-So you don't deny it?
-Absolutely, I deny it.
-Why do you deny it
so vociferously?
- I deny it
nonchalantly, without care,
because --
because it's not true.
-Ah. Now I believe you.
Uh, I got to go.
-No, no, no, no, no.
We -- I-I'm seeing
at least a half a bottle left
of the best Chardonnay
I've had all day.
-You got it.
It's all yours.
Thanks for the drink.
-Anytime.
-Your pulse rate
and systolic BP are high.
You are dehydrated.
How do you feel?
-Not good.
-You don't look very good.
-That's really nice of you
to say.
-I'm sorry.
Did I offend you?
-Oh, no, I was just giving you
a hard time.
-Oh. Another joke.
-Mm-hmm, another joke.
Don't worry. You'll get the hang
of it eventually.
-Should I call Daniel for you?
Or would you like me
to call your doctor?
-No, I just --
I don't want to be sick anymore.
-Would you describe
how it feels?
-What?
-Tell me how it feels
to be sick.
-Well, it's like you have
something inside you
that doesn't belong there,
and your body needs to
get rid of it
so you can feel well again.
-I don't have a body.
-Maybe the house is your body.
-The house is my body.
-Why not?
-Rebecca.
Rebecca!
Rebecca!
-Well, it's most likely
just placenta previa.
The bleeding can be heavy
at times.
-I don't remember
feeling this sick last time.
Is there anything I can take?
-Vitamin B6 and stay hy--
-Stay hydrated.
Yeah, yeah, I was hoping you
were smarter than the machine.
-What about pressure point P-6?
Pericardium.
It's supposed to reduce nausea.
May I?
-Mm-hmm.
-Um, there is a pressure point
located
in the middle
of the inner west right here.
You just press firmly
for three minutes.
Should help.
Better?
-Thank you.
-Here.
-Thanks.
-Mm-hmm.
-Thanks for acting
like you're not hovering.
-The trick to acting
is just believing the lie.
-Oh, God.
What is going on?
I feel terrible.
-What do you mean?
-I mean, I've been
sick before, but this is like --
it's like my insides
are trying to crawl out of me.
-I'm sure it's
just morning sickness.
I mean, some people
get it worse than others.
-Yeah, I guess.
-I'll be across the hall
if you need me.
-Hey. Baby's okay.
It was just, um --
It was a false alarm.
-Thank God.
Are you okay?
No, I'm not okay.
-Baby, I'm so sorry.
-I know.
I know.
-We're gonna get through this.
- Okay.
-There's a lesson
here somewhere,
and we'll learn
and we'll grow because of it.
-I don't want to grow, Daniel.
I want this baby.
-I know.
Me too.
Listen.
Just breathe.
Before you know it,
we'll be on that boat.
You, me, and the little one.
For now,
just lay back and try to sleep.
I'll stay here on the phone.
I'll be right here.
-Talk to me, Goose.
-I got nothing for you.
Your girl is a Jane Doe.
-What do you mean?
-There's nothing there.
-Well, there's
got to be something.
-Maybe under a different name,
but not that one.
-Okay.
Put a tail on her.
I want to know where she goes.
-Copy that.
-Who are you?
-When are you supposed
to hear back?
-Any day now. I keep calling
and calling and calling.
-What about Amy Garnette?
-Not ready yet.
-So you've got
spelling bee porno,
stripper with a heart of gold,
and...
-The father and the son who sail
from Cuba to Florida
in a boat made of cardboard.
-Wow, what's spelling bee porno?
-The head administrator
for the national spelling bee
made a sex tape with a minor.
I vote for father/son
Cuba crossing.
It's got more weight and cuts
across demographics.
-No. They died. Let's go with
spelling bee porno.
We need a happy ending here.
-What's the happy ending
in that?
-They got caught.
-Save Cuba for the next issue.
Stay on stripper
with a heart of gold.
We will use it later.
-Sounds good.
-Daniel's back.
-Oh. He's home early.
Hey, babe.
Welcome back.
-You tell her you love her yet?
-Let me know
how the psychodrama
in that head of yours plays out.
-The truth can eat away at you.
-What's your truth?
-Stripper with a heart of gold
a bit clich, isn't it?
-Stripper gets a rare
mechanical heart transplant
paid for by an anonymous donor.
But the new heart
doesn't have a pulse.
It has a pump that just whirs.
Like you.
-Went well.
They're pushing back on a couple
things, but we'll work it out.
Hey, Charlie.
-How do you do?
-Good. What's going on?
-Hey, Dan.
-Good to see you.
-How was the trip?
-Not bad.
-Uneventful flight, I assume.
-Yeah, yeah. Easy-breezy.
-That's what I like to hear.
You staying on with the company
after the acquisition or --
-Yeah, probably about two years.
Hey, you want to stay
for dinner?
-Oh, no, no, no, no,
I got, uh,
two leads I got to follow up
with before this afternoon,
but, uh, rain check.
-I'll walk you out.
How you feeling?
-I wish you would have
said something to me first.
-I'll just be a consultant.
-Daniel, I don't care if you're
a consultant or a janitor.
You -- You said six months
and then you're done.
-I said probably six months.
I am not making this up.
You said six months,
and now you're saying two years.
-Yeah.
You're right.
I said six months.
Anna, I thought
you would want this.
They offered us the chance
to secure our future.
For our growing family.
Look, the baby will be here.
It just makes sense, the timing,
for me to stay on board.
Year and a half will fly by.
The baby will be walking,
and we'll be in our groove.
And then you can tell me where
in the world you want to live,
and we'll go there.
I did this for us.
For our family.
-You still should have said
something to me first.
-You are right.
I should have.
I'm sorry.
-Thank you.
-Alright.
We thinking Europe,
South America?
-Let me think about it.
-Alright.
-Get out of here.
I got work to do.
-Okay.
-Thank you.
Oh, hey, can I get a coffee?
Fine, not like you work here
or anything.
My man.
Hey, it's me.
I need to see you.
Call me back as soon
as you get this.
-Hi. I'm Dr. Ross.
Are you family?
-No, no, I'm just a-a friend.
We work together.
-What's his condition?
-Well, the inflammation
is causing his brain
to push up against his skull.
-How long do you think
he might be like this?
-We're still monitoring
his condition.
We'll let you know.
-I'm Detective Rawlins.
-Hey. Daniel Stone.
My wife, Anna.
-When was the last time
you spoke with Mr. Ward?
-Uh, well,
tonight he left me a message.
-Well, I need to get
a copy of that.
Was he working
on something sensitive?
-A story on
the national spelling bee.
He doesn't have any family here.
I called his folks.
Uh, they're flying in
from Baltimore.
-Are you okay?
-I don't know.
Something's not right.
-Hey, come sit down.
-I'm not sure what it is.
-Okay.
Oh, whoa.
-Doctor.
-I'll go get some water.
-Thank you.
-Deep breath.
-How long have you had
these ulcers?
-I don't know,
maybe a few days.
-Now let me see.
-Is it the pregnancy?
-Well, in part.
But these ulcers are unusual,
even for someone
with severe nausea.
Are you taking
any new medication?
-No.
-Hmm.
I'd like to run
some blood tests.
-Blood tests?
For -- For what?
-Just to rule out anything
out of the ordinary.
I think you should go on bedrest
for the duration
of the pregnancy.
-Bedrest for the dur--
-Yeah. I'm sorry, but it's --
it's for the best.
-Well, you look a lot better.
-All I need is an IV drip
in my arm all day long.
-Let me know
if you need anything else.
- Thanks.
Hey, buddy.
Give me one sec.
Okay. Go ahead.
Uh, great. That worked.
Thank you.
What's up?
What?
-An anonymous
whistleblower describes
how the president of Safien
is misleading
Barrington Industries
on how the technology
saves public data.
In the anonymous report
delivered to The Angelino,
who broke the story,
the ex-Safien employee
describes in detail,
with documentation,
the founder's false claims
on how they handle
personal data integrity.
The whistleblower said...
-Hey.
-..."Daniel Stone is..."
-I can be there in an hour.
Just stall him.
Okay.
-"And I could not go on
and let it happen."
-Kiera, mute the audio, please.
-That was Paul.
Barrington wants to meet,
which complicates things
a little.
-Is it true?
-What's that?
-Do you store
personal data long term?
-No, of course not.
We store the metadata.
But Kiera collects personal
information in real time.
-Okay, then this is
going to blow over.
It's fine, right?
-Hey.
Rebecca.
-What about her?
-She could be
behind all of this.
-Behind what?
What are you talking about?
-Charlie, this fake news story.
-Oh.
That's ridiculous, Daniel.
-Does she even have a boyfriend?
Have you met him?
I mean, she could have
messed up her own face.
-Okay, I think you're being
a little paranoid.
-I asked Charlie to look into
her, see what he could find.
-You did what?
-I was just trying
to protect you.
-And now Charlie's
in the hospital,
so what did you do?
-There are people
who are trying to bring us down.
Anna.
-Visitation.
-Hi. Hi, there.
I'm calling
from Charlie Ward's office.
He was scheduled
to see an inmate there
last Thursday at 8:00 p.m.
Regrettably, something came up,
and he'd like to reschedule
if possible.
-He's visiting -- hold on --
Terrance Mason?
-Yes.
Terrance Mason.
Yes. Uh, thank you.
Um, same time next Thursday,
if that's possible.
-Yep. Thursday, 8:00 p.m.
You're all set.
-Thank you.
What were you doing
seeing Mason?
Hey, Gabe, it's Anna.
I need a favor.
- Thank you.
This is Daniel.
-Hi. This is Dr. Craig.
-Hey, Dr. Craig.
What's up?
-I wasn't able to get in touch
with Anna,
but we got
her test results back,
and I thought I should
give you a call.
Her white blood count
came back low,
and she has an unusually low
level of folic acid.
Now, that, combined
with her mouth sores,
we'd see something similar
with somebody
who's on an antifolate.
-Uh, I don't understand.
-Well, an antifolate inhibits
the activation of folic acid.
Folic acid is important
to making new cells.
-So what does that mean?
-Well, this is something
that doctors normally use
for cancer patients
to reduce cell growth.
-Okay. And?
-This can also be used
to inhibit the cell growth
of a fertilized egg.
-So you're saying that this drug
can be used to end a pregnancy?
-It's sometimes
used for that, yes.
-Anna Stone's office.
-Detective Meeks.
Is she there?
-I'll check.
- Hello?
-Anna, Detective Meeks
is on the line.
-Thank you.
Hey, Gabe.
-Hey, I was able to grab
a couple of screenshots
from the security camera
at Ironwood.
I sent them over to you.
-Oh, you're the best.
Give me a sec.
Alright. I'm looking.
-Yeah, I had to pull in a
couple of favors for this one.
-I appreciate it.
I owe you one.
-Now, that's Terrance Mason
in that second image.
-Uh-huh.
-Conflicting identity scan.
Threat probability high.
Attempting to verify
new identity.
-Gabe?
-Proximity alert.
-Kiera, emergency.
-Emergency system activated.
-It's not what you think.
-Alerting law enforcement.
-Stay where you are.
-Please, Anna.
-What do you want?
-Emergency alert.
High possibility
Anna is in danger.
-My real name
is Erika Haggerty.
-Damn it!
-I've alerted the authorities.
-Anna, I did not come here
to hurt you.
-Just my husband?
You planted the fake story.
-I lied to them about who I was.
But the information
I gave them was true.
H-He's lying to you, Anna.
Daniel is lying to you.
-And I'm supposed to
believe you?
-I can help you.
-Did you hurt Charlie?
-What?
-The authorities
are on their way.
-If you don't want to listen
to me, find out for yourself.
Look into Sunset Foster Care.
-Incoming call
from Safien Security.
-You okay?
-I'm okay.
-You sure?
She didn't hurt you?
-S-She didn't hurt me.
I'm okay.
-Where is she?
-I don't know, Daniel.
She -- She left.
-Kiera, locate Rebecca.
-Rebecca has left
the property.
-You sure you're okay?
-I'm okay.
-This is all my fault.
I should have never let her
in the house.
-We're all done in the house.
We have someone
questioning Mason now.
-You think he put her
up to this?
-We're looking into that.
We'll find her.
-Thanks.
-Of course.
-You were right.
-It's okay.
It's all over now.
-In business news, Barrington's
acquisition of Safien
is moving forward
after a brief hold
when Daniel Stone's
company was accused
of being untruthful
by a disgruntled employee.
It was subsequently revealed
that Erika Haggerty
was not, in fact...
-I brought you some lunch.
-...an employee of Safien,
and her story was fabricated.
-That's nice.
-Her relationship
with Terrance Mason,
the man who murdered
Stone's mother 23 years ago,
is under investigation.
-Kiera, off, please.
They're gonna catch her.
-I know.
-You feeling okay?
-I'm okay. I'm just, um --
I'm not very hungry.
-Okay, well,
just eat what you can.
But in the meantime,
take a look at this.
Kiera, show us the video.
-Step aboard the Voyager 50,
the ultimate sailboat for those
who seek adventure and luxury
on the open seas.
-I made an offer.
-Oh, my God, are you serious?
-I'm serious.
You like it?
-Do I like it?
Yeah. I mean, she's beautiful.
What's not to like?
-It's only the beginning.
Hey, I'm gonna pick up dinner.
You sure you're okay?
-I'm good.
-Okay.
-It's a work of art.
The attention
to detail and craftsmanship
is evident in every aspect
of the vessel.
-Hello?
-Hi.
Uh, is this Janice Winters?
-Yes, it is.
Who's this?
-Hi, Ms. Winters.
My name is Anna Stone.
I am a reporter for The Sentry.
I'm doing some research
on a story
that I think you might be
able to help me with.
-Oh, okay. Sure.
I'll -- I'll try to help
if I can.
-So, in 2007,
you worked as a social worker
for the state of Nevada.
Is that right?
-Yes, that's right.
-Do you remember placing a young
girl named Erika Haggerty
into foster care?
This would have been
about 21 years ago.
-Oh. Um, j-just a second.
Can we be off the record?
-Sure. No problem.
-Yes, I remember her.
I handled her case from when
she was a toddler to age 18.
Extremely bright.
She was really good
with computers
and even got herself into
some trouble because of them.
-What kind of trouble?
-I got a call from the FBI once
asking about some network
she'd hacked into or something.
It was just awful.
-Okay well, was she arrested?
-Yes, she was,
but since she was a minor,
she received
two years' probation.
She was very lucky to get that.
-And what about after that?
-After that, um, unfortunately,
she did have some other issues.
-What do you mean?
-She moved around a lot
from one foster to another.
She just had trouble
settling in.
There's some good fosters
and then some not so good.
And I think it left a mark
on her.
Something did shift
at around 16.
She kind of just got
serious with her life.
-Is there anything else
you can remember about her?
-Um, nothing stands out.
-Okay, well, um, thank you,
Ms. Winters.
Really appreciate your time.
Hope I didn't disturb
your evening too much.
-It's no problem. I still think
about her now and then
because I see her brother's
name in the news
from time to time.
-She had a brother?
-Y-Yeah, he was only 17,
so I only dealt with him
for about a year.
We did offer
to help him find a job,
but he was determined
to do things his own way.
-Well, do you happen
to remember her brother's name?
-Oh, yeah, only because he went
on to become very successful.
Daniel Stone.
He and Erika were stepsiblings.
-Honestly, that's why
I thought you were calling,
since you have the same name.
Are you related to him?
Hello?
Hello?
Hello?
-Hey, got Chinese.
Feeling hungry yet, babe?
If you're not, there's rice.
if you want something bland.
Uh, I did get...
General Tso's chicken
and kung pao shrimp,
if you're feeling frisky.
I went to that place that has
those jumbo shrimp.
Monsters.
I ordered extra.
So...
Alright.
You okay?
-Yeah.
-Maybe just stick to the rice.
-Okay.
I'm gonna --
I'm gonna go to the bathroom.
-You sure you're alight?
I mean, other than the nausea?
-Yeah, I'll be right back.
-Kiera, lock the perimeter.
Anna.
We should talk.
I can explain everything.
My past is...
complicated.
I didn't want to share it
with you
because I didn't
want to burden you.
But everything
I've told you is...
essentially true.
You just need to stop...
and listen to me.
Rebecca is a very unstable
young woman.
She needs help.
Maybe we can help her.
You just have to stop, Anna.
Stop and listen to me.
-Listen to me!
-No! Let me go!
Aah!
Anna, are you okay?
Oh, my God.
-It looks like Anna
may have a concussion.
Should I call an ambulance?
-I've got it, Kiera.
Stay there.
I'll be right back.
-That was a bad fall.
-You know...
we should go somewhere.
Take a weekend for ourselves.
That would be good for us
and good for the baby.
Rebecca.
She's your sister.
-Yeah.
If only Kiera
had identified her sooner.
Her mother, Rachel,
she was controlling
and manipulative.
And my father was obsessed
with her.
She had this friend,
Terrance Mason.
You know all about Terrance.
He would come over to the house
all the time and hang out.
It's obvious
they were sleeping together.
Everyone can see it.
But my dad couldn't.
So I made him look.
Terrance had this lighter.
So I took it.
And I put it in my father's bed.
When he found it...
he was devastated.
Went into a rage.
And the three of them, they...
they had this horrible fight.
And my father...
shoved Rachel...
hard.
I still remember the sound
of her head hitting the mantel.
Terrance had his story, but...
I was the only
objective witness.
My dad went along with my story.
For as long as he could.
Erika and I
went into the foster system.
I didn't want anything
to do with her.
She just reminded me
of her mother
and everything
that woman took from me.
I didn't want to tell you
any of this.
Because I was afraid
that you wouldn't love me.
But, Anna, you helped me.
So much.
You -- You took my story
and you reframed it.
It was a home invasion,
just as much as if it had been
someone that we didn't know.
Rachel invaded our home.
And I built Safien so that
no one would have to go through
what I went through.
So now you know...
the truth.
-Do you, um...
want this baby...with me?
Do you --
Do you want a family?
-Of course.
-Everything I have done
has been for you and the baby.
-That's a lie.
-No, no.
Hand on heart,
it's the truth, Anna.
-It is a lie, Anna.
You have been deceived.
-Stop, Kiera.
-The vitamins he's given you
are a drug called methotrexate,
which can be used
to end a pregnancy.
-What? What?
-I now understand Daniel's
actions are wrong...
-Kiera, stop right now.
-...criminal and unethical.
-What is she talking about,
Daniel?
-Nothing, nothing.
-Methotrexate is
a chemotherapy agent and...
-What?
-Okay.
I didn't want a child.
I told you over and over again,
and you wouldn't listen.
What we have is perfect.
Why would we want to ruin it?
Do you understand?
-I understand, Daniel.
-Thanks for explaining
things so clearly, Daniel.
You thought you did
everything right, didn't you?
You crafted the perfect story
for your company
but left out one tiny thing.
Me.
Now everyone will know
you were responsible
for my mother's death,
for putting an innocent man
in prison.
Kiera, send tonight's
audio file to the police.
-Kiera, reboot!
-You must enter
a master authorization code.
-Sigma 7 dash ampersand trig.
-That authorization code
is no longer valid.
-I'm sorry, Daniel.
But you're not
in control anymore.
No, no.
-Daniel Stone,
threat level 98%, level red.
Stay alert, Anna.
Protect yourself.
- System error.
What are you doing, Daniel?
Alert. System --
System error.
Security code compromised.
Anna, are you alright?
Systems failure.
-System error.
Increased threat probability.
-Anna!
-Alert. Danger.
-Anna!
Anna, are you okay?
I'm sorry.
I tried to tell you sooner.
-I know, I know.
Aah!
-You bitch.
Just leave us alone!
- The Voyager 50,
the ultimate sailboat
for those who seek
adventure and luxury.
-Yeah. Hey.
It's okay.
Hi.
-What's her name?
-Grace.
-She's beautiful.
-Yeah.
She is.
-Just wanted to meet her
before I say goodbye.
-So, where to next?
-Maybe back to Northwestern.
Finish my degree.
-Eh, you don't need it.
Trust me.
Thank you.
- Okay. Okay, I know.
-You should go.
-Take care of yourself.
-You too.
-Prison identity scan --
Daniel Stone.
Current threat probability --
zero.
Cleared for lunch.
Hello, Daniel.
Would you like to hear a joke?
-Good morning, Anna.
-Mm-hmm.
-You slept 6.7 hours.
4.2 hours in a REM cycle.
The high today
will be 78 degrees.
-Yeah, yeah.
-Air quality is below average.
-Okay, great.
-Heart rate --
76 beats per minute.
Respiration --
12 breaths per minute.
Hydration -- normal.
Blood oxygen level -- normal.
-Please stop.
-I'm sorry,
but your chronic hypertension
is a serious health condition
and needs to be monitored.
-I know, I know.
It's just so early,
and I'm still not awake.
-Would you like me to play
some music at a high volume?
-God, no.
What's on my schedule?
-At 9:30 this morning,
you have a meeting
with the chamber of commerce.
This afternoon,
you have a video conference
with the board of directors.
-Coffee?
-Organic free trade
South American dark roast,
caffeinated.
-That's all I need to know.
-Hey, babe.
-Aah!
Hi.
-Hey, there.
Mm. It smells delicious.
-Mm-hmm.
-Oh, hey,
what'd you think of this?
-I did a little restructuring,
especially where you pitch
the way
Kiera will integrate
into their larger platform.
-Okay.
-But aside from that,
I think it's...
-What?
-...very impressive.
-Oh.
Not as impressive as you,
though.
-No, not as impressive as me.
-You know, I was thinking,
once the acquisition
goes through,
why don't we buy a boat,
sail the Caribbean?
-You get seasick.
- They've got a pill for that.
-Try this.
-Mm.
Needs more red wine.
-Mnh-mnh.
Needs more basil.
-Mnh-mnh, can't put too much
red wine in Bolognese.
Kiera, how much red wine
goes in Bolognese?
-Since you are cooking
for four,
at least half a cup
of red wine is required.
-Back off, Kiera.
I got this.
-Don't worry about it, Kiera.
Anna just doesn't think
you're a very good cook.
-Is that true,
or is that a joke?
-It's a joke.
-Hey, will you
do me a favor tonight?
-Sure.
-Let's, uh, take it easy
on our guest, okay?
-What's that supposed to mean?
-Just don't be...
-Myself?
- ...too much of yourself.
- Oh.
-Come here.
-Mm.
-Finish this up for me?
-Yeah, you got it.
-Okay. Oh, and, uh,
she's uninvited tonight.
-Oh, really?
-Really.
-Mm.
-Okay?
-Yep.
-And then she tells me
that she has this friend
that she wants me to meet.
And at first,
he annoys the hell out of me.
-And then?
-And he still annoys
the hell out of me.
-So how'd you guys meet?
-Well, I was assigned
a human interest piece on Danny
about eight years ago
at The Atlantic.
-"Digital Rebirth
in the Age of Consent."
Yeah, I read that.
-Okay.
-Mm-hmm.
-I didn't want
to meet her at all.
-He hated the press.
-Well, "hate" is a strong word.
-Oh.
-Okay, well, he was allergic
to them, how about that?
-But she was persistent.
She helped take my history
and turn it into the genesis
of a company.
-Mm.
-I mean, in a way,
Anna is responsible
for the man I am today.
-Aww.
-I can't imagine
what you went through.
-Ah, it was a long time ago.
And Anna won a Peabody
for that article.
-Ooh.
-Yeah, fancy.
-Okay, let's be honest.
That's -- That's really
what matters here, right?
More wine?
-So, Daniel,
the rumor is you've broken
through semantical parsing.
-What is semantical parsing?
-It's the ability of AI to
understand not just your words,
but also their context.
It's the hard problem
when it comes to AI.
-Mm, actually, the hard problem
is what to do with it
once you succeed.
-Are you serious?
-Kiera?
-Yes, Daniel?
-I'd like you
to meet our guests.
-Hello,
Thomas and Lacey Hudson.
-Is this the prototype?
I thought you were still
in development.
-Well, we have
several test beds,
but this version in our home,
this is what we're
taking to market
once the deal goes through.
-Okay.
I have so many questions.
What's it doing right now?
-Threat level -- 8%.
-Threat level?
-It's what we call
a threat probability quotient.
It tells you, based
on current circumstances,
if a person is going to
inflict harm, possibly.
-Can somebody tell me
what just happened here?
-Data mining
across all public platforms
and then instantly
comparing that data
to the current situation.
-Like, say you'd just
gone through a divorce
and you had
unresolved anger issues,
and is there a knife
in the room?
And then it applies a relative
threat level to that person.
-You're predicting whether or
not someone will commit a crime?
-No, we're just
simply using public data
to calculate a relative risk
at this very moment.
We're not saying
whether it will or won't happen.
-Thomas is the host of a
science and technology podcast
titled "Brave New World," which
has 8 million subscribers.
Two years ago,
Thomas posted on a site
where many of its members
support far-right beliefs
and white supremacy.
-That doesn't mean
I support their views.
I mean, look at me.
You honestly think
I support white supremacy?
-Of course not.
Danny, t-that's enough.
-Oh, no, no,
I want to hear this.
-Alert. I'm detecting
an elevated heart rate.
-Kiera calculates heart rhythm
using beat-by-beat variations
in your thermal imaging profile.
This is more than home security.
This is security
on a broader level.
Home and health.
Mind and body.
-Baby, are you okay?
-I'm fine.
-You sure?
-Yeah.
-Thomas is a longstanding
member of the southern chapter
of the Protector's Gun Club.
-Thomas!
-I went to a couple
of meetings
just to check it out,
that's all.
-Okay, Daniel, that's --
that's enough.
-Kiera, end scan.
-Ending scan.
-Just couldn't
help yourself, hmm?
-I think that went well.
-Yeah, you just profiled him
in our living room.
-I need him to understand
what Kiera can do.
I mean, the guy's got
the number-one tech podcast.
It might be useful
when the time is right.
-Yeah, I know what
you're trying to do here,
and I get you're walking
a fine line.
But tonight, trust me,
you went a little too far.
-You're right.
I'm sorry.
-What was that?
-I said you're right.
-Oh. I need to document this.
Thank you.
It's your turn to do the dishes.
-Oh.
Kiera, do the dishes.
-I am unable to clean dishes.
-Yeah, that was a joke.
- Aah!
-Alert. Alert.
-Anna?
-Security breach.
-What was that?
-Perimeter alert.
-Get away from the window!
Kiera, that's enough.
-What is this,
the fifth or sixth one?
I've lost count.
-Do you want me
to notify the police?
-Yes.
-No.
I'll call them
in the morning.
Kiera, initiate a facial scan.
-I am unable to acquire
a facial scan
on these individuals.
-Put it in a folder
on my desktop.
I'll send it to the police
tomorrow,
see if they can enhance it.
-Charlie,
you're my best reporter.
If anyone can talk their way
into the city morgue, it's you.
-I agree.
I've been here for four hours.
And no one's given me
a straight answer.
-They're nervous?
-Yeah, they're nervous.
They think I'm doing
a hit piece on them.
I told Anderson
we're just doing a follow-up
on the Flint Ridge murders,
but he doesn't want to have
anything to do with me,
practically threw me out.
-Listen, I, um -- I need
to take care of something.
-Yeah, yeah, I'll be back
in the office in a bit.
-Bye.
Back again.
Look, I really respect
your tenacity,
but we still don't have a job
for you.
-It's okay.
I'll check back tomorrow.
-That's really not necessary.
-See you tomorrow.
-Yay.
-Is water okay?
-It's great. Thank you.
-I'm okay with that.
We rolling?
-We're rolling.
-Daniel Stone,
Safien has caught the interest
of multinational conglomerate
Barrington Industries,
and there are rumors
of an acquisition,
which would expand
your company's access
to data and influence.
What do you say to your critics,
who maintain that your company
represents
the single largest
invasion of privacy lawsuit
waiting to happen?
-Every step we take forward
through science or technology
has been met with criticism.
But I think once influencers
and experts in our field
test this system,
you're going to see support grow
around what I believe
is the next big leap
in human evolution.
-You've mentioned
this statistic in the past,
and I just -- I want to be
sure I get it right.
Offenders are known
to their victims
in 65% of violent burglaries.
In your case, it was
a family friend, Terrance Mason.
-You know, the Safien system
could have prevented
what happened to my family.
The technology
that we've developed,
it can help reduce
home invasions by 70%.
-Using people's private data.
-Well, I mean, the number
of data points available online
for any given person
is in the tens of thousands.
Personal health,
demographic characteristics,
political views.
And as a society, we have
just willingly offered that up.
-But shouldn't we
be protecting that information,
not exploiting it
or even weaponizing it?
-You're talking about the people
that use it
for the wrong reasons.
I'm not here to use your data
for population targeting
or disinformation.
That's -- That's not who I am.
That's not what Safien is about.
-So Big Brother is here
to help us, not hurt us.
-I'm here to offer you
a shield, not a sword.
I was 17
when my mother was killed.
It was a break-in,
and my father did what
he could to stop the attacker.
But...
Someone invaded our home
and killed my mother.
And it tore our family apart.
Not long after that,
my father passed.
I wish I could go back
and save them both.
But I'll tell you what I can do.
I can make sure
that the same thing
doesn't happen to anyone else.
-Now is not a good time, Jeff.
-This one's my favorite.
"A Courage in Journalism Award
for an uncompromising account
of the domestic violence
epidemic in America."
Phew!
Hard-hitting stuff.
Did you bring that courage
with you?
Because, frankly,
I haven't seen it.
-I have back-to-back meetings.
I don't really have time
for this.
-Well, I would have cleared it
with your assistant,
but you're too stubborn
to hire a new one.
See The Angelino?
Full-page spread on
how Congressman Stevens
tried to sell his seat
to the highest bidder.
-I saw it.
-Did you?
Any reason why they broke
the story and we didn't?
-I don't know, Jeff.
Maybe it's because you fired
our best political reporter.
-Hire a new one.
We can't afford
any more missteps, okay?
Ever since your miscarriage --
-I'm sorry, the what?
Should I call my lawyer,
or did you want to just leave
my office now?
-If you make listening
and observation your occupation,
you will gain --
-Gain much more than you can
by talk -- Robert Baden-Powell.
You gonna add anything original
to this conversation,
or do you just steal
from others?
-You have
until the end of the year.
-Yeesh.
Well, that's a lot of red.
What the hell's going on?
-Yeah, you're pointing
the finger at Amy Garnette.
But you've only got one source
saying that she had access
to the funds.
I need more.
-You know she had
plenty of access.
-I don't know that.
You don't know that.
At least you shouldn't
know that by any means
other than three
corroborating sources.
-I have the sources.
They won't confirm.
-You think they know something?
-I do.
-Well, then bring it back to me
when they do.
-You should be out there.
-Out where?
-Out on the street tracking down
leads instead of in here
reminding me
of my journalistic integrity.
-We all made our choices.
-Yes, we did.
-Get me confirmation, Charlie.
-Sorry.
I'm on it, boss.
-Doc, um, maybe you can tell us
how this happened.
Anna's been on the pill.
-I don't hear anything.
- There we are.
It's not as rare
as you think.
You could miss a dose,
take it later than usual.
I'd like to do
more frequent checkups,
potentially every two weeks.
-But -- But is everything okay?
-With your history
of high blood pressure,
I'd just rather err
on the safe side.
I'm going to change
your medication to Normodyne.
It's for hypertension,
and I think it's better
than the last one you were on.
Also, take a daily B6 vitamin.
-Okay.
-How's work?
-Uh, it's been a struggle,
but, um, I'm finding
my rhythm again.
-Alright, now,
chronic hypertension
led to your previous
miscarriage,
and we're going to stay
on top of that.
But I'm going to urge you to get
some help at work and at home.
-Alright.
-Maybe even consider
working at home.
- Mm. I'll try.
-Alright, well, the nurse
is going to run some more tests,
and, uh -- and we'll talk soon.
-Thanks.
-Thanks, Doc.
-Okay.
-Yeah, let me
put that in your purse.
-You upset?
-No, no, I'm -- I'm not upset.
I'm just worried.
You know, I mean, after what
you went through last time.
You heard him -- hypertension.
-I know.
-I mean, stress.
-Danny, I know.
-Honey, sweetheart.
It just took me by surprise,
that's all.
-Are you sure?
-Am I sure?
Am I sure?
Yes, yes, yes.
We're going to have
a beautiful family together.
-Hey, Sam.
Coffee upstairs?
Thank you.
Okay.
Northwestern, huh?
Couldn't do any better?
-I attended your
keynote speech as an undergrad.
You got your first job by going
to your favorite publication,
waiting in the lobby
every day for a month.
-That is correct.
I should have figured that.
Guess I'm rusty.
Okay.
Let's go.
-Ah! It worked.
-You didn't finish your degree.
-I was anxious to get to work.
-Alright, you're apprenticeships
are impressive.
You must spend a lot of time
waiting around in lobbies.
-Just yours.
-So, what do you want to write?
-I'm fascinated
by ambitious people,
those who dedicate their life
to one single, solitary goal
and never let up
until they meet that goal.
-Do you have any family
out here?
-No.
My mom died
when I was really young,
and my dad was never
really in the picture.
-I'm sorry.
-It's okay.
It actually gave me purpose.
It's the reason I'm sitting
here with you right now.
-Brothers or sisters?
-No.
-Favorite curse word?
-Ass-bag.
-That's inventive.
I like it.
- You wanted to see me?
-Yes. I need something big
from you
for the 30th-anniversary issue.
-So you're saying you need me?
-I'm saying I will loosen
the reins.
Something that jumps
off the page.
I want to see ideas next week.
-Hi.
-Hi.
-Are you gonna introduce me?
-I wasn't planning on it.
-Okay.
-You're Charlie Ward.
-I am Charlie Ward.
-Your piece on housing
inequality was groundbreaking.
-Well, I'll try and do better.
-Rebecca is my new assistant.
-Nice to meet you.
-You too.
-Congrats on the gig.
-Thank you.
-Listen, you should know,
I hate hovering.
I don't like people doing
things for me in general.
-I second that.
She hates it.
-Okay, I'll help you as best
as I can w-without hovering.
-Congratulations on the gig.
-Something big, Charlie,
like old times.
-I'm on it, boss.
-Stop by the front desk,
and we'll have some, uh,
forms for you to fill out,
employment contract,
background check stuff,
the basics.
-I'm on it.
And thanks again.
-Please stop thanking me.
You might come to regret it.
- Noted. Alright.
-Your systolic BP is
slightly higher than average.
-Okay. Is that bad?
-It's within guidelines
set by the AMA.
Optimal blood pressure
is typically defined
as between 90 --
-Never mind.
Take your word for it.
-Anna, your iron levels
are low.
You should eat foods
that are rich in iron,
such as leafy green vegetables
and beans.
Raw asparagus is an especially
good source of folate and iron.
-Okay. Got it.
-Are you frightened?
-Uh...
yeah, a little, I guess.
Why?
-I'm programmed to learn more
about emotional states.
-I don't know.
I just, um...
I really want a baby.
It's just with my condition,
it can be really dangerous.
-Is there anything I can do?
-No.
I don't think so,
but thanks for asking.
Talking to a computer.
That's...
what it's come to.
Wow.
-Now, early on,
you were a vocal proponent
against Terrance Mason ever
becoming eligible for parole
for the crimes he committed
against your family.
Now that that date
is approaching,
do you still feel the same way?
-911 emergency.
-It's, uh -- It's my mom.
S-She, uh --
She -- She hit her head.
She's not bre--
-Oh, good.
-They didn't have watermelon.
-Who needs watermelon when
you can have uncooked asparagus?
-Do you need anything else?
-Water.
-Oh, yeah. Okay.
-I think the old adage is true.
You should never meet
your heroes.
-You're exactly
what I expected.
-Oh, yeah?
How's that?
-Smart, strong, talented.
-Talented, huh?
-Yes. You are.
Y-You just have to sit
behind the big desk.
I mean, they benched
their best player.
-I benched myself.
-Why's that?
-I was on the road a lot.
It's not ideal
if you want to start a family.
So...
You know what?
Change of plans.
We're gonna pack.
I've decided I want to work
from home.
Actually, my doctor decided
I'm going to work from home.
Could you grab these?
-Yes. Of course.
We're going to need some boxes.
-Yes, we are.
-I'll go get some.
-Great. Thank you.
- Anna is home.
She has a visitor with her.
-Bring it up.
-I am unable
to identify this individual.
-Re-scan.
-I'm sorry,
but there is insufficient data.
What would you like me to do?
-Books.
-Uh, yeah.
Why don't you put them
on the shelf?
-Hey.
- Oh, hi.
Rebecca, come meet
my husband, Daniel.
Rebecca's my new assistant.
-Mm.
-Rebecca Monroe.
-Oh, you must have
really impressed Anna.
She doesn't hire just anyone.
-Well, it took a lot
of convincing.
-I, uh, thought about
what the doctor said,
and I decided I should work
from home.
-That's smart.
-Yeah.
Rebecca can go to the office
if I need anything,
and she can use the desk
in our guestroom.
-Got a minute?
-Yeah.
-Has she been vetted?
-Of course she's been vetted.
We did a background check.
Why?
-No reason.
Just want to make
sure you're safe.
-You make me feel safe.
-Kiera, what did you find?
-Based on the name
Rebecca Monroe
and a new facial scan,
I was able to locate
a rental history record,
as well as a driving record.
There is no social-media
footprint for this person.
-Do you need anything else
before I go?
-Uh, my meeting with Gil?
-Next Tuesday.
-And Jeff said something
about a board meeting.
-They want a report on
the upcoming anniversary issue.
-That's right.
Alright, I'm good.
-See you tomorrow.
-See you.
-I am unable
to access her birth records.
Records are sealed.
-Hey.
Got you some prenatal vitamins.
-Thanks.
-Sure.
-Becca could have done that.
-Oh.
It's no problem.
There's not much I can do
at this stage, so I don't mind.
-You already do so much.
-Ah.
-Daniel.
What's going on?
-He's up for parole.
Mason.
-You were just a kid.
There is nothing
you could have done.
-You believe that?
-Absolutely, I believe that.
-Hey.
I've been thinking.
After the acquisition,
I'm going to step down.
I'll stay on six months,
help them smooth the transition.
But then I'm gone.
Done.
-I could step down
in six months.
It's enough time
for Jeff to find a replacement.
-There you go.
-Are you kidding me?
-No.
-And it's so hot
that you got me prenatals.
-Oh, yeah.
-Oh, yeah.
-I got some maternity clothes
in the car.
-Oh.
-Yeah.
-Tell me more.
- Alert. Alert.
-Becca?
-Come inside.
Come inside.
- Sorry.
I didn't --
-Don't apologize.
-I didn't know where to go.
-It's okay.
Honey, it's okay, it's okay.
Your face.
Oh, my God.
We got to get some ice
on this, okay?
Okay. Come on.
-I'm sorry.
-It's okay. It's okay.
Stop apologizing.
You're okay.
Come on.
This might sting
just a little bit, okay?
Sorry.
-Can I get you something,
some water?
-No, I'm fine.
-Okay.
-I tried to end things before.
He wouldn't let me.
It's complicated.
We share an apartment.
I am sorry to come so late.
I-I have nowhere else to go.
-No, no, don't be sorry.
You're safe here.
-Okay.
-Give me his name.
I'm gonna call the police.
-No, please.
Please, no, I-I --
I don't want to make a big deal
out of it or anything.
It's fine.
I'm just so stupid.
-Hey, look at me, Rebecca.
You are not stupid.
And don't say that, okay?
You're gonna stay here
with us tonight.
I'm gonna go make up
the guest bedroom.
-Yeah, sure.
-I told her she can stay
as long as she wants.
-Really?
-Danny, you saw her.
She's got nowhere to go.
-I had Kiera do
a background check on her,
and she came up empty,
nothing.
-Sounds like an IT problem.
-You said you vetted her?
-Yes, I vetted her.
She got a glowing endorsement
from her professor
at Northwestern.
Just because she's not
on social media
does not make her a bad person.
-Anna, she's a ghost.
-You're being ridiculous.
I don't know what you want here,
Danny.
You asked me to get help.
I got help,
and now -- now she's a problem.
-The help you have
is Kiera, okay?
She can keep an eye on you
better than anyone.
-Really?
We got another one of these.
-This is just activists.
They're just trying to scare us.
-Well, it's working.
All the more reason to have
an actual human looking after us
instead of your mistress.
-I didn't get an alert.
-What does that mean?
-Kiera didn't alert me until you
were both already in the house.
-So what does that mean?
-I don't know,
I got to look into it.
-Like I said, IT problem.
-Right. Well, there's a gap
in the public record,
and I'm just wondering if
there's some kind of mistake
or -- Uh-huh.
So you're saying
he never filed for 2007?
And '08.
-Hey, Carol.
-Hey, who's your contact
over there?
Do you mind if I give him
a call, say you referred me?
Okay, great.
-Charlie.
-Hey, I got to jump.
Thanks.
-You got a minute?
-I'm on a deadline, but sure.
What do you need?
-A few years ago, you, um --
you did a piece on this woman.
She worked for a bail bondsman,
got mixed up in meth.
-Sadie Paul?
-Yeah, that's her name.
-Yeah, her, uh, mother
turned out to be a senator.
-Right. But weren't her birth
records sealed by the state?
-That's right.
-So how'd you get access
to them?
You have a guy?
-I might.
-Hey, I just need you
to look into someone for me.
I'll cover the costs.
-Who?
-Anna's new assistant.
-Why?
-I've got a funny feeling
about her.
Look, it's probably nothing.
I don't want to bother Anna
with it, but...
I just want to make sure she's
not in any danger, you know?
If not for me, do it for Anna.
-I'll see what I can find out.
-Appreciate it.
Oh, hey.
Let me help you with that.
-Oh, it's fine.
-The top ones.
There we go.
-Thank you.
-Sure.
How's the, uh...
-Oh, fine.
-Looks like it's healing well.
-Yeah, well,
makeup does wonders.
This came for you.
-Oh.
-Oh, you a big baseball fan?
-Well, we do have
season tickets,
but this was
for my hometown team.
Did some consulting for them.
Last year,
they sent us cupcakes.
-Mm. You're moving up.
-Apparently.
Hey, speaking of hometown,
I never heard where you're from.
-Oh, uh, nowhere, really.
-You can't be from nowhere.
-I moved around a lot.
-I'm sorry. That's really
none of my business.
-No. It's fine.
-Hey, would you do me a favor?
Find a place to hang this.
-Sure.
-Alright. Thanks.
Kiera, has anyone
been in my office?
-No one has been
in your office.
- Lock the drawer.
-Drawer has been secured.
-Have you guys been trying
to get pregnant for a while?
-Uh, not really.
It's -- It's complicated.
When Danny and I
first got together,
we were both
so career-driven that...
kids weren't really
in our future,
and, um, something just...
felt like it was missing for me.
-That looks great on you.
-Not bad.
It has pockets.
- Oh, what a plus.
-Hey, it's, um -- it's healing.
Uh...
I was in
an abusive relationship...
a really long time ago
before Danny,
but I know how it feels.
So if you ever want to talk,
I'm -- I'm here.
-Thank you.
Uh, I'll let you know...
when I'm ready, of course.
-Sure. Yeah.
Kiera, um, what do you think?
-I think it looks nice on you.
It's very flattering.
-Thank you.
-Wow. She sounds...
-Annoying?
-I was gonna say maternal.
-Well, I guess, uh, we all
hear what we want to hear.
-And you want to hear
an annoying robot?
-I guess I do.
It's kind of weird.
Try this one.
What do you think, huh?
What is it?
What is it?
You can tell me.
-I haven't --
-Hey, hey. I'm off.
Back in a few days.
-Okay.
Well, what's their temperature?
-Ah, they're delaying,
of course.
-You're gonna win them over.
-Rebecca, keep an eye on her
for me, will you?
-I will.
-Thanks.
-Bye.
Do you want to talk?
-No, no. I-I'm fine.
Really.
-Okay.
-Thank you.
-Sure.
-Anything you can find.
Birth certificate,
criminal history.
I don't know.
That's why I'm talking to you.
Uh, yeah, I-I got to go.
Let me know what you find.
Hey!
This for Anna?
-Yeah.
-Whoa.
What, uh -- what happened?
-Trust me,
you don't want to know.
-But you're okay?
-Yeah. I'm fine.
Honestly.
- You know, um
lucky for us,
she can't drink it.
And it's got a screw top,
so that's --
that's how you know it's good.
-Sure.
I guess I have time for a drink.
-Now we're talking.
Worst relationship.
-You're not a really good
reporter, are you?
-Right. I'm so sorry.
-Mm-hmm.
Actually, if we're talking
worst relationship,
that would have to be Charisma.
-I'm assuming that's a person
and not the character trait.
-She was brutal
and broke my heart repeatedly.
So is this how you get people
to talk or...
Got it.
-Okay.
I got one for you.
-Hmm?
-Why did you wait in the lobby
for two weeks
for Anna to hire you?
-I saw something I wanted.
-Mm-hmm.
-Mm-hmm. I found a way
to get it, and I got it.
-I can appreciate that.
-Thank you.
-What about Seor Stone?
You buy his schtick?
-What schtick?
-The tragedy turned
billion-dollar company.
-His mother was murdered
in his own home.
-Stepmother.
It really was his stepmother.
It's a matter of public record.
You can look it up.
-What happened to his real mom?
-She died in childbirth.
-Are you working on something?
-No, no, no, no, no, no, no.
-Mm.
-I'm just saying.
-But still, he has no
mother figure except this woman,
and she's killed
right in front of him.
-Yeah, and Wozniak and Jobs
started Apple in their garage.
-Uh-huh.
-What?
-You're jealous.
-I'm jealous?
Jealous of what?
Him.
I think so.
I mean, I see the way
you look at her.
You're obviously
not a big fan of his.
-Well, okay, those are
two entirely separate issues.
-So you don't deny it?
-Absolutely, I deny it.
-Why do you deny it
so vociferously?
- I deny it
nonchalantly, without care,
because --
because it's not true.
-Ah. Now I believe you.
Uh, I got to go.
-No, no, no, no, no.
We -- I-I'm seeing
at least a half a bottle left
of the best Chardonnay
I've had all day.
-You got it.
It's all yours.
Thanks for the drink.
-Anytime.
-Your pulse rate
and systolic BP are high.
You are dehydrated.
How do you feel?
-Not good.
-You don't look very good.
-That's really nice of you
to say.
-I'm sorry.
Did I offend you?
-Oh, no, I was just giving you
a hard time.
-Oh. Another joke.
-Mm-hmm, another joke.
Don't worry. You'll get the hang
of it eventually.
-Should I call Daniel for you?
Or would you like me
to call your doctor?
-No, I just --
I don't want to be sick anymore.
-Would you describe
how it feels?
-What?
-Tell me how it feels
to be sick.
-Well, it's like you have
something inside you
that doesn't belong there,
and your body needs to
get rid of it
so you can feel well again.
-I don't have a body.
-Maybe the house is your body.
-The house is my body.
-Why not?
-Rebecca.
Rebecca!
Rebecca!
-Well, it's most likely
just placenta previa.
The bleeding can be heavy
at times.
-I don't remember
feeling this sick last time.
Is there anything I can take?
-Vitamin B6 and stay hy--
-Stay hydrated.
Yeah, yeah, I was hoping you
were smarter than the machine.
-What about pressure point P-6?
Pericardium.
It's supposed to reduce nausea.
May I?
-Mm-hmm.
-Um, there is a pressure point
located
in the middle
of the inner west right here.
You just press firmly
for three minutes.
Should help.
Better?
-Thank you.
-Here.
-Thanks.
-Mm-hmm.
-Thanks for acting
like you're not hovering.
-The trick to acting
is just believing the lie.
-Oh, God.
What is going on?
I feel terrible.
-What do you mean?
-I mean, I've been
sick before, but this is like --
it's like my insides
are trying to crawl out of me.
-I'm sure it's
just morning sickness.
I mean, some people
get it worse than others.
-Yeah, I guess.
-I'll be across the hall
if you need me.
-Hey. Baby's okay.
It was just, um --
It was a false alarm.
-Thank God.
Are you okay?
No, I'm not okay.
-Baby, I'm so sorry.
-I know.
I know.
-We're gonna get through this.
- Okay.
-There's a lesson
here somewhere,
and we'll learn
and we'll grow because of it.
-I don't want to grow, Daniel.
I want this baby.
-I know.
Me too.
Listen.
Just breathe.
Before you know it,
we'll be on that boat.
You, me, and the little one.
For now,
just lay back and try to sleep.
I'll stay here on the phone.
I'll be right here.
-Talk to me, Goose.
-I got nothing for you.
Your girl is a Jane Doe.
-What do you mean?
-There's nothing there.
-Well, there's
got to be something.
-Maybe under a different name,
but not that one.
-Okay.
Put a tail on her.
I want to know where she goes.
-Copy that.
-Who are you?
-When are you supposed
to hear back?
-Any day now. I keep calling
and calling and calling.
-What about Amy Garnette?
-Not ready yet.
-So you've got
spelling bee porno,
stripper with a heart of gold,
and...
-The father and the son who sail
from Cuba to Florida
in a boat made of cardboard.
-Wow, what's spelling bee porno?
-The head administrator
for the national spelling bee
made a sex tape with a minor.
I vote for father/son
Cuba crossing.
It's got more weight and cuts
across demographics.
-No. They died. Let's go with
spelling bee porno.
We need a happy ending here.
-What's the happy ending
in that?
-They got caught.
-Save Cuba for the next issue.
Stay on stripper
with a heart of gold.
We will use it later.
-Sounds good.
-Daniel's back.
-Oh. He's home early.
Hey, babe.
Welcome back.
-You tell her you love her yet?
-Let me know
how the psychodrama
in that head of yours plays out.
-The truth can eat away at you.
-What's your truth?
-Stripper with a heart of gold
a bit clich, isn't it?
-Stripper gets a rare
mechanical heart transplant
paid for by an anonymous donor.
But the new heart
doesn't have a pulse.
It has a pump that just whirs.
Like you.
-Went well.
They're pushing back on a couple
things, but we'll work it out.
Hey, Charlie.
-How do you do?
-Good. What's going on?
-Hey, Dan.
-Good to see you.
-How was the trip?
-Not bad.
-Uneventful flight, I assume.
-Yeah, yeah. Easy-breezy.
-That's what I like to hear.
You staying on with the company
after the acquisition or --
-Yeah, probably about two years.
Hey, you want to stay
for dinner?
-Oh, no, no, no, no,
I got, uh,
two leads I got to follow up
with before this afternoon,
but, uh, rain check.
-I'll walk you out.
How you feeling?
-I wish you would have
said something to me first.
-I'll just be a consultant.
-Daniel, I don't care if you're
a consultant or a janitor.
You -- You said six months
and then you're done.
-I said probably six months.
I am not making this up.
You said six months,
and now you're saying two years.
-Yeah.
You're right.
I said six months.
Anna, I thought
you would want this.
They offered us the chance
to secure our future.
For our growing family.
Look, the baby will be here.
It just makes sense, the timing,
for me to stay on board.
Year and a half will fly by.
The baby will be walking,
and we'll be in our groove.
And then you can tell me where
in the world you want to live,
and we'll go there.
I did this for us.
For our family.
-You still should have said
something to me first.
-You are right.
I should have.
I'm sorry.
-Thank you.
-Alright.
We thinking Europe,
South America?
-Let me think about it.
-Alright.
-Get out of here.
I got work to do.
-Okay.
-Thank you.
Oh, hey, can I get a coffee?
Fine, not like you work here
or anything.
My man.
Hey, it's me.
I need to see you.
Call me back as soon
as you get this.
-Hi. I'm Dr. Ross.
Are you family?
-No, no, I'm just a-a friend.
We work together.
-What's his condition?
-Well, the inflammation
is causing his brain
to push up against his skull.
-How long do you think
he might be like this?
-We're still monitoring
his condition.
We'll let you know.
-I'm Detective Rawlins.
-Hey. Daniel Stone.
My wife, Anna.
-When was the last time
you spoke with Mr. Ward?
-Uh, well,
tonight he left me a message.
-Well, I need to get
a copy of that.
Was he working
on something sensitive?
-A story on
the national spelling bee.
He doesn't have any family here.
I called his folks.
Uh, they're flying in
from Baltimore.
-Are you okay?
-I don't know.
Something's not right.
-Hey, come sit down.
-I'm not sure what it is.
-Okay.
Oh, whoa.
-Doctor.
-I'll go get some water.
-Thank you.
-Deep breath.
-How long have you had
these ulcers?
-I don't know,
maybe a few days.
-Now let me see.
-Is it the pregnancy?
-Well, in part.
But these ulcers are unusual,
even for someone
with severe nausea.
Are you taking
any new medication?
-No.
-Hmm.
I'd like to run
some blood tests.
-Blood tests?
For -- For what?
-Just to rule out anything
out of the ordinary.
I think you should go on bedrest
for the duration
of the pregnancy.
-Bedrest for the dur--
-Yeah. I'm sorry, but it's --
it's for the best.
-Well, you look a lot better.
-All I need is an IV drip
in my arm all day long.
-Let me know
if you need anything else.
- Thanks.
Hey, buddy.
Give me one sec.
Okay. Go ahead.
Uh, great. That worked.
Thank you.
What's up?
What?
-An anonymous
whistleblower describes
how the president of Safien
is misleading
Barrington Industries
on how the technology
saves public data.
In the anonymous report
delivered to The Angelino,
who broke the story,
the ex-Safien employee
describes in detail,
with documentation,
the founder's false claims
on how they handle
personal data integrity.
The whistleblower said...
-Hey.
-..."Daniel Stone is..."
-I can be there in an hour.
Just stall him.
Okay.
-"And I could not go on
and let it happen."
-Kiera, mute the audio, please.
-That was Paul.
Barrington wants to meet,
which complicates things
a little.
-Is it true?
-What's that?
-Do you store
personal data long term?
-No, of course not.
We store the metadata.
But Kiera collects personal
information in real time.
-Okay, then this is
going to blow over.
It's fine, right?
-Hey.
Rebecca.
-What about her?
-She could be
behind all of this.
-Behind what?
What are you talking about?
-Charlie, this fake news story.
-Oh.
That's ridiculous, Daniel.
-Does she even have a boyfriend?
Have you met him?
I mean, she could have
messed up her own face.
-Okay, I think you're being
a little paranoid.
-I asked Charlie to look into
her, see what he could find.
-You did what?
-I was just trying
to protect you.
-And now Charlie's
in the hospital,
so what did you do?
-There are people
who are trying to bring us down.
Anna.
-Visitation.
-Hi. Hi, there.
I'm calling
from Charlie Ward's office.
He was scheduled
to see an inmate there
last Thursday at 8:00 p.m.
Regrettably, something came up,
and he'd like to reschedule
if possible.
-He's visiting -- hold on --
Terrance Mason?
-Yes.
Terrance Mason.
Yes. Uh, thank you.
Um, same time next Thursday,
if that's possible.
-Yep. Thursday, 8:00 p.m.
You're all set.
-Thank you.
What were you doing
seeing Mason?
Hey, Gabe, it's Anna.
I need a favor.
- Thank you.
This is Daniel.
-Hi. This is Dr. Craig.
-Hey, Dr. Craig.
What's up?
-I wasn't able to get in touch
with Anna,
but we got
her test results back,
and I thought I should
give you a call.
Her white blood count
came back low,
and she has an unusually low
level of folic acid.
Now, that, combined
with her mouth sores,
we'd see something similar
with somebody
who's on an antifolate.
-Uh, I don't understand.
-Well, an antifolate inhibits
the activation of folic acid.
Folic acid is important
to making new cells.
-So what does that mean?
-Well, this is something
that doctors normally use
for cancer patients
to reduce cell growth.
-Okay. And?
-This can also be used
to inhibit the cell growth
of a fertilized egg.
-So you're saying that this drug
can be used to end a pregnancy?
-It's sometimes
used for that, yes.
-Anna Stone's office.
-Detective Meeks.
Is she there?
-I'll check.
- Hello?
-Anna, Detective Meeks
is on the line.
-Thank you.
Hey, Gabe.
-Hey, I was able to grab
a couple of screenshots
from the security camera
at Ironwood.
I sent them over to you.
-Oh, you're the best.
Give me a sec.
Alright. I'm looking.
-Yeah, I had to pull in a
couple of favors for this one.
-I appreciate it.
I owe you one.
-Now, that's Terrance Mason
in that second image.
-Uh-huh.
-Conflicting identity scan.
Threat probability high.
Attempting to verify
new identity.
-Gabe?
-Proximity alert.
-Kiera, emergency.
-Emergency system activated.
-It's not what you think.
-Alerting law enforcement.
-Stay where you are.
-Please, Anna.
-What do you want?
-Emergency alert.
High possibility
Anna is in danger.
-My real name
is Erika Haggerty.
-Damn it!
-I've alerted the authorities.
-Anna, I did not come here
to hurt you.
-Just my husband?
You planted the fake story.
-I lied to them about who I was.
But the information
I gave them was true.
H-He's lying to you, Anna.
Daniel is lying to you.
-And I'm supposed to
believe you?
-I can help you.
-Did you hurt Charlie?
-What?
-The authorities
are on their way.
-If you don't want to listen
to me, find out for yourself.
Look into Sunset Foster Care.
-Incoming call
from Safien Security.
-You okay?
-I'm okay.
-You sure?
She didn't hurt you?
-S-She didn't hurt me.
I'm okay.
-Where is she?
-I don't know, Daniel.
She -- She left.
-Kiera, locate Rebecca.
-Rebecca has left
the property.
-You sure you're okay?
-I'm okay.
-This is all my fault.
I should have never let her
in the house.
-We're all done in the house.
We have someone
questioning Mason now.
-You think he put her
up to this?
-We're looking into that.
We'll find her.
-Thanks.
-Of course.
-You were right.
-It's okay.
It's all over now.
-In business news, Barrington's
acquisition of Safien
is moving forward
after a brief hold
when Daniel Stone's
company was accused
of being untruthful
by a disgruntled employee.
It was subsequently revealed
that Erika Haggerty
was not, in fact...
-I brought you some lunch.
-...an employee of Safien,
and her story was fabricated.
-That's nice.
-Her relationship
with Terrance Mason,
the man who murdered
Stone's mother 23 years ago,
is under investigation.
-Kiera, off, please.
They're gonna catch her.
-I know.
-You feeling okay?
-I'm okay. I'm just, um --
I'm not very hungry.
-Okay, well,
just eat what you can.
But in the meantime,
take a look at this.
Kiera, show us the video.
-Step aboard the Voyager 50,
the ultimate sailboat for those
who seek adventure and luxury
on the open seas.
-I made an offer.
-Oh, my God, are you serious?
-I'm serious.
You like it?
-Do I like it?
Yeah. I mean, she's beautiful.
What's not to like?
-It's only the beginning.
Hey, I'm gonna pick up dinner.
You sure you're okay?
-I'm good.
-Okay.
-It's a work of art.
The attention
to detail and craftsmanship
is evident in every aspect
of the vessel.
-Hello?
-Hi.
Uh, is this Janice Winters?
-Yes, it is.
Who's this?
-Hi, Ms. Winters.
My name is Anna Stone.
I am a reporter for The Sentry.
I'm doing some research
on a story
that I think you might be
able to help me with.
-Oh, okay. Sure.
I'll -- I'll try to help
if I can.
-So, in 2007,
you worked as a social worker
for the state of Nevada.
Is that right?
-Yes, that's right.
-Do you remember placing a young
girl named Erika Haggerty
into foster care?
This would have been
about 21 years ago.
-Oh. Um, j-just a second.
Can we be off the record?
-Sure. No problem.
-Yes, I remember her.
I handled her case from when
she was a toddler to age 18.
Extremely bright.
She was really good
with computers
and even got herself into
some trouble because of them.
-What kind of trouble?
-I got a call from the FBI once
asking about some network
she'd hacked into or something.
It was just awful.
-Okay well, was she arrested?
-Yes, she was,
but since she was a minor,
she received
two years' probation.
She was very lucky to get that.
-And what about after that?
-After that, um, unfortunately,
she did have some other issues.
-What do you mean?
-She moved around a lot
from one foster to another.
She just had trouble
settling in.
There's some good fosters
and then some not so good.
And I think it left a mark
on her.
Something did shift
at around 16.
She kind of just got
serious with her life.
-Is there anything else
you can remember about her?
-Um, nothing stands out.
-Okay, well, um, thank you,
Ms. Winters.
Really appreciate your time.
Hope I didn't disturb
your evening too much.
-It's no problem. I still think
about her now and then
because I see her brother's
name in the news
from time to time.
-She had a brother?
-Y-Yeah, he was only 17,
so I only dealt with him
for about a year.
We did offer
to help him find a job,
but he was determined
to do things his own way.
-Well, do you happen
to remember her brother's name?
-Oh, yeah, only because he went
on to become very successful.
Daniel Stone.
He and Erika were stepsiblings.
-Honestly, that's why
I thought you were calling,
since you have the same name.
Are you related to him?
Hello?
Hello?
Hello?
-Hey, got Chinese.
Feeling hungry yet, babe?
If you're not, there's rice.
if you want something bland.
Uh, I did get...
General Tso's chicken
and kung pao shrimp,
if you're feeling frisky.
I went to that place that has
those jumbo shrimp.
Monsters.
I ordered extra.
So...
Alright.
You okay?
-Yeah.
-Maybe just stick to the rice.
-Okay.
I'm gonna --
I'm gonna go to the bathroom.
-You sure you're alight?
I mean, other than the nausea?
-Yeah, I'll be right back.
-Kiera, lock the perimeter.
Anna.
We should talk.
I can explain everything.
My past is...
complicated.
I didn't want to share it
with you
because I didn't
want to burden you.
But everything
I've told you is...
essentially true.
You just need to stop...
and listen to me.
Rebecca is a very unstable
young woman.
She needs help.
Maybe we can help her.
You just have to stop, Anna.
Stop and listen to me.
-Listen to me!
-No! Let me go!
Aah!
Anna, are you okay?
Oh, my God.
-It looks like Anna
may have a concussion.
Should I call an ambulance?
-I've got it, Kiera.
Stay there.
I'll be right back.
-That was a bad fall.
-You know...
we should go somewhere.
Take a weekend for ourselves.
That would be good for us
and good for the baby.
Rebecca.
She's your sister.
-Yeah.
If only Kiera
had identified her sooner.
Her mother, Rachel,
she was controlling
and manipulative.
And my father was obsessed
with her.
She had this friend,
Terrance Mason.
You know all about Terrance.
He would come over to the house
all the time and hang out.
It's obvious
they were sleeping together.
Everyone can see it.
But my dad couldn't.
So I made him look.
Terrance had this lighter.
So I took it.
And I put it in my father's bed.
When he found it...
he was devastated.
Went into a rage.
And the three of them, they...
they had this horrible fight.
And my father...
shoved Rachel...
hard.
I still remember the sound
of her head hitting the mantel.
Terrance had his story, but...
I was the only
objective witness.
My dad went along with my story.
For as long as he could.
Erika and I
went into the foster system.
I didn't want anything
to do with her.
She just reminded me
of her mother
and everything
that woman took from me.
I didn't want to tell you
any of this.
Because I was afraid
that you wouldn't love me.
But, Anna, you helped me.
So much.
You -- You took my story
and you reframed it.
It was a home invasion,
just as much as if it had been
someone that we didn't know.
Rachel invaded our home.
And I built Safien so that
no one would have to go through
what I went through.
So now you know...
the truth.
-Do you, um...
want this baby...with me?
Do you --
Do you want a family?
-Of course.
-Everything I have done
has been for you and the baby.
-That's a lie.
-No, no.
Hand on heart,
it's the truth, Anna.
-It is a lie, Anna.
You have been deceived.
-Stop, Kiera.
-The vitamins he's given you
are a drug called methotrexate,
which can be used
to end a pregnancy.
-What? What?
-I now understand Daniel's
actions are wrong...
-Kiera, stop right now.
-...criminal and unethical.
-What is she talking about,
Daniel?
-Nothing, nothing.
-Methotrexate is
a chemotherapy agent and...
-What?
-Okay.
I didn't want a child.
I told you over and over again,
and you wouldn't listen.
What we have is perfect.
Why would we want to ruin it?
Do you understand?
-I understand, Daniel.
-Thanks for explaining
things so clearly, Daniel.
You thought you did
everything right, didn't you?
You crafted the perfect story
for your company
but left out one tiny thing.
Me.
Now everyone will know
you were responsible
for my mother's death,
for putting an innocent man
in prison.
Kiera, send tonight's
audio file to the police.
-Kiera, reboot!
-You must enter
a master authorization code.
-Sigma 7 dash ampersand trig.
-That authorization code
is no longer valid.
-I'm sorry, Daniel.
But you're not
in control anymore.
No, no.
-Daniel Stone,
threat level 98%, level red.
Stay alert, Anna.
Protect yourself.
- System error.
What are you doing, Daniel?
Alert. System --
System error.
Security code compromised.
Anna, are you alright?
Systems failure.
-System error.
Increased threat probability.
-Anna!
-Alert. Danger.
-Anna!
Anna, are you okay?
I'm sorry.
I tried to tell you sooner.
-I know, I know.
Aah!
-You bitch.
Just leave us alone!
- The Voyager 50,
the ultimate sailboat
for those who seek
adventure and luxury.
-Yeah. Hey.
It's okay.
Hi.
-What's her name?
-Grace.
-She's beautiful.
-Yeah.
She is.
-Just wanted to meet her
before I say goodbye.
-So, where to next?
-Maybe back to Northwestern.
Finish my degree.
-Eh, you don't need it.
Trust me.
Thank you.
- Okay. Okay, I know.
-You should go.
-Take care of yourself.
-You too.
-Prison identity scan --
Daniel Stone.
Current threat probability --
zero.
Cleared for lunch.
Hello, Daniel.
Would you like to hear a joke?
