Kimi (2022) Movie Script
[Sharon] Tell our viewers what the
main difference is, in your mind
between Kimi and products
like Siri or Alexa.
[Brad] Well, Sharon, I will tell you
the difference between Kimi and those
other products you mention
by name. People.
It's our people and their level
of excellence that sets us apart.
The voice interpolation on Kimi
is a perfect example.
We don't have an algorithm trying to
figure out what you said or what you meant.
We have actual people
analyzing Kimi requests
so we can continually update our
understanding of how you communicate,
who you are, what you want.
So you're listening
to everything?
No. Not at all. We are flagging miscommunication
so Kimi can better understand you.
And we do this every day.
Think of it this way. Kimi understands
you better today than it did yesterday
because of our people.
Is that efficient?
It's actually the fastest way to get
better fast, if that makes any sense.
The bottom line is,
it's working.
You pushed for the Amygdala
Corporation to go public,
the idea, the timing, mostly yours.
How are you feeling?
I feel great.
I've been saying since I was
brought in two years ago,
Kimi is the future
of this company.
It just seemed obvious to me,
and the board agrees.
But talk to me in a week, after the
IPO, if you'll give me the time.
[Sharon] I absolutely will.
Bradley Hasling, CEO of the Amygdala
Corporation, thank you for joining us.
We know it's early
there in Seattle.
Oh, Jess.
- [door closes]
- I was up.
I forgot you had Sharon.
- Is he awake?
- No.
I'll do it.
Did she ask you how much
you would pocket?
Oh, she knows
I wouldn't answer that.
Where'd they set
the share price? Twenty-eight?
Thirty-one.
Which would put us
north of...
I can't count that high.
[sighs]
[cell phone vibrating]
Yes?
[Rivas on phone] You can
transfer the second payment now.
[whispers] Jesus.
Okay.
And no chance of discovery?
Of her? No.
You there?
[smacks lips]
You'll have it within the hour.
[music playing]
- Kimi.
- [Kimi] I'm here!
What time is it?
It's 7:26 a.m.,
Pacific Daylight Time.
You're gonna be late.
[electric toothbrush buzzing]
[moans]
Well, today will be the sixth consecutive
day of protests over the city's
so-called Homeless Safe Zones.
The demonstrations
and counter-demonstrations
were centered in the downtown
area near official buildings...
- [panting] Kimi.
- [Kimi] I'm here!
Mute TV, play "Oxytocin."

[Marcos on phone] Hello?
Marcos, it's Angela.
I thought we had an agreement.
I know, but I got the carpet guy coming,
and the tackless strip went down all wrong.
I just need
a couple of hours.
I get it,
I have deadlines too,
which is why we agreed 9:00 a.m.
to 6:00 p.m. on weekdays,
10:00 to 5:00 on Saturdays,
and never on Sundays.
- Please don't do that.
- Do what?
Say the same thing over and over again until
I can't take it anymore and I give up.
All I'm doing
is reminding you
that you said 9:00 a.m.
to 6:00 p.m. on weekdays,
- 10:00 to 5:00 on Saturdays, and never on...
- Okay! Okay, okay.
Hold the work, guys.
Try a wide putty knife
to get the strips up,
and don't use
a nail gun next time.
[Marcos on phone] Whoa,
what are you, in the business?
My dad was.
He did my place.
Maybe I should talk to him.
You can't.
Just let me know whenever
you're gonna go out, will you?
Yep. Thanks. Bye.
- [woman on stream] Kimi.
- [Kimi on stream] I'm here!
[woman] Put more kitchen paper
in the cart for next time.
[Kimi] One possibility is Green
Kitchen, on Decatur Street.
[woman] No!
I need more kitchen paper.
- [girl on stream] Kimi.
- [Kimi on stream] I'm here!
[girl] Play "Me,"
Taylor Swift.
[Kimi] Creating personalized
station of Taylor Swift songs.
[girl] No! I just
want to hear "Me!"
[Kimi] I'm listening.
- [girl] Play...
- [Kimi] Tell me what's on your mind.
- [boy on stream] Hey, Kimi.
- [Kimi on stream] I'm here!
[boy] You're a peckerwood.
[Kimi] I don't know what you
mean by "You're a peckerwood."
[boy laughing] It means
you're a big wooden dick.
[video call line ringing]
- Hi, sweetie.
- Hi. Do you have time to talk?
Um, a little. What's wrong?
What? Nothing.
I don't know, nothing. I...
Is there something specific?
No.
I'm sorry I bothered you. God.
Okay. Can we start over?
Good morning, my darling.
[sighs] So, you know the guy
from across the street?
Yes.
I'm not sure I approve of you waving in
the window like a hooker in Amsterdam,
but, uh, I know who you mean.
Mom, it was lockdown.
Everyone was in the window.
What about the guy?
I asked him to meet me
for breakfast.
Out?
- Good!
- No.
I didn't... I didn't go,
but I tried.
I don't know what you want me to say,
other than the things I always say.
I don't want you
to say anything. I don't...
Did you try that Turn2Me group?
[sighs]
Okay.
- The Zoom one?
- Yes.
- Roman read about.
- I know the one. Please stop.
Oh, God. I would love to.
Okay. Bye, Mom.
[dramatic music playing]
[Darius over computer] Angela?
Angela? Hello?
Do you hear me, Angela?
[Angela] Yeah.
- [Darius] Did you find it?
- [Angela] Yeah!
[Darius] The black sigma repeater
with the six inputs! Yeah?
[Angela] No, yeah, I know,
but I think I had a bad cable too.
[Darius] Ah, okay.
- All right, rebooting now.
- [Darius] Okay.
Thanks, Darius.
[Darius] Anything
for you, Hotness.
You can't say
that shit anymore, Darius.
Ah, this is Romania.
MeToo is like 50 years away.
Stay on, let's have a drink.
Isn't it like 6:00
in the morning for you?
Oh, is it? I didn't notice.
Thanks for the help.
Please don't leave me.
No! Don't...

[cell phone text whoosh]

[cell phone text whoosh]
[cell phone text whoosh]
- [electric toothbrush buzzing]
- [knocking on door]
I'm here to install the cable.
You didn't buzz downstairs.
- Somebody was coming out.
- You're still supposed to buzz.
But if somebody's coming out and
you know I'm on my way, then why...
- You have to buzz.
- Okay. Okay. Sorry.
[sighs]
Now what?
[moaning] Yeah.
[Terry groans]
- Yes. [panting]
- [Terry] Oof.
I lied.
I actually don't work
for the cable company.
- [chuckling] Oh, great.
- Sorry.
As long as you don't work
in the D.A.'s office.
[Terry] Um...
Or for the... [snorts]
- Oh, go on with that shit.
- [Angela laughing]
[sighs]
When were you
at the waterfront?
[Angela] What are you
looking at?
Your Instagram.
- You ate at The Pink Door?
- [door opens]
No.
You wrote here you did.
I just liked the picture.
Why would you write,
"Oh, my God, so delicious,"
if you've never
been there before?
You know that spot
used to be Arturo's?
- No.
- With the red awning.
It's just right across the
street from the old guitar store.
Vaguely. Yeah.
- It's a Thai place now.
- Is it good?
I don't know,
they don't do takeout.
Sickos.
The guy in the lobby said it's
the best Thai food he ever had.
Why can't things just be good? Why do
things always have to be "the best."
I thought I'd try it.
"This is the best
Mobil QuickMart
on the entire West Coast
of the United States."
I'm just throwing it
out there.
Look, we could go right at
6:00, as soon as they open,
before anybody's there.
It would just be me and you.
The server
ain't even came in yet.
We could yell our order
straight to the cook.
Never mind.
[washer beeps]
[Terry] I'm sorry.
[Angela] You promised
you wouldn't do that.
I know, but you were trying this
morning with the food truck.
I brought that up,
that was my suggestion, on my terms.
[Terry] Okay, okay.
Look, I don't know
how much longer I can...
I didn't get through my streams.
I have work tonight.
[Terry] Exhausting.
- Kimi.
- [Kimi] I'm here!
Open next stream

Oh...
Ah!
Fuck.
[dentist] Can you turn a little
left, please? Toward the light?
[Angela] Mmm-hmm.
Okay, using your pinky finger,
can you feel along the
outer ridge of the gum line?
Yeah.
Okay, now feel that same ridge, but on
the other side, for the right molar.
Okay.
Do you notice any difference?
Yeah, the left one's swollen.
Soft or hard tissue?
Hard.
You need to come in.
Angela, your gum is swollen
and inflamed with red streaks.
You may have an abscess.
Can't you just call in
an antibiotic?
I could, but it'll come back.
We need to do a root canal.
I take perfect care
of my teeth.
You grind. You cracked it.
It happens.
I take perfect care of my teeth
so that I don't need to come in.
I understand. I thought things had
improved for you in this... in this area.
Yeah. Well, COVID was a
little bit of a setback. So...
I... I understand that.
And I know
this is difficult for you.
You don't know.
[sighing]
No, I guess I don't know.
What I do know
is that an abscessed tooth
is a magic carpet for bacteria to enter
the bloodstream and go to your brain.
Please just call in the
prescription to the regular place.
And maybe
some painkillers, okay?
I'm not prescribing opiates
for a toothache
you're perfectly capable
of treating.
I am not capable of treating it
and you know it.
[dentist sighs]
I can't come to you. I would
need too much equipment.
Please just call it in.
The antibiotic only.
But you're making a mistake.
Yeah, okay. Thanks.
[construction grinding]
[thudding]
[sighs]
[computer call chime]
[clears throat]
[chime as call answered]
Why would you
send me that stream?
I have told everybody not
to send me things like that.
And especially
a week before the IPO.
I thought it might
have been a crime.
Delete it.
Did you hear me?
I thought it might have been a crime.
Yeah, the devices
pick up things. Lots of things.
And our policy
is it's not our business.
Aren't we legally obligated?
Because of the Amazon Arkansas thing?
Do you know how long that court case was?
That was two years.
[children shouting]
And that was a murder. Trust me,
Angela, we do not want our own Arkansas.
I think this might
have been sexual assault.
Don't... No. Don't say that.
You don't know that. It was an argument.
I have a very strong feeling.
Based on what?
[children shouting]
Based on my
very strong feeling.
Okay. Just skip this one.
I can't do that. I clear my list.
I always clear my list.
Yes, I know that, and it's one of the
things that I like best about you.
So here's what you do.
You just mark this degraded audio
- and delete it, and then you'll be clear.
- [children shouting]
Will you please,
please shut up?
I am trying to work!
What if this woman
needs help?
[sighs] We have
no idea who she is.
I have the stream number.
Yeah, but those
are randomly assigned.
She's totally anonymous,
that's the whole point.
Why did I only get a partial?
There was no wake word.
How did the Kimi unit turn on?
[Kimi] I'm here!
Kimi, turn off.
Okay, what about
the device number?
Can we access
the user account from that?
No. I don't have access
to those accounts.
Who does?
[children shouting]
- Mrs. Chowdhury might.
- Who?
Natalie Chowdhury,
she's the head of Organic Interpolation.
She's in Seattle,
in a, uh, tech hub someplace.
Okay. What's her email?
Don't email, you infant.
Call her.
Okay, what's her number?
Listen, don't email
anybody about this.
I'm telling you, you do not
want the aggravation.
They hate
this kind of thing.
What is her number?
I don't know. Look it up
in the company directory.
And, hey, don't send me anything
like this ever again. Please.
Hey, you guys, I swear to God!
You are driving me insane!
I am going to take everything you
love and put it in a garbage bag!
- [woman on phone] Organics.
- Hi, may I sp...
Is this the number
for Ms. Chowdhury?
Ms. Chowdhury's not in
just now. May I take a message?
Yes, my name is Angela Childs.
I'm a voice stream interpreter.
And I believe I may have heard
a crime on one of the streams.
I see. Amygdala takes evidence of
wrongdoing very seriously, Ms. Childs.
If you could please write a detailed
summary and email it to Ms. Chowdhury,
she will return your call
by the end of day.
Uh, I'd rather
just tell her about it.
Amygdala takes this
very seriously, Ms. Childs,
and we do ask that you start
with a written report.
[line ringing]
- [woman on phone] Organics.
- Hello, this is Angela Childs.
I was just wondering
if Ms. Chowdhury was in yet?
Ms. Chowdhury's not in just now.
Did you send the report?
No, not yet, but I will. Do you have
any sense of when she'll be back?
Hello again, this is Angela Childs calling.
I was wondering...
[woman on phone] Yes, Ms.
Childs, I recognized the number.
I'm afraid
she's still not free.
It might be easier if you just came in.
You're in Seattle, I see?
Yes.
Fine, just come down to the
office in about an hour.
Bring the recording, and if
she isn't available, I'll...
I can't come there.
May I ask why not?
Yes, because
it's not convenient.
But you can tell her
that I will be
available all day. Okay?
Okay, Ms. Childs, I will do.
Thank you.
[line ringing]
[Terry on phone] Hey.
Hey, Prosecutor,
what you doing?
I can't really talk right now.
Make it fast. What's up?
Okay, sorry. Um,
I just had a quick question.
Um, if I heard a crime
on one of the streams,
who do I tell?
FBI.
The Internet is interstate.
What'd you hear?
I'll, um,
I'll tell you later...
When you come over?
- Maybe around 8:00-ish?
- [construction grinding]
I don't know.
I'll text you.
Okay.
[computer call ringing]
[chime as call answered]
Hey, Hotness!
Seriously, Darius,
they will fire you for that.
I invite them to fuck off!
- Are you drunk?
- Yes. What do you want?
What's a freq tab D 26,
26 request?
Why?
It was on a stream yesterday.
Ah!
A freq tab means a Kimi unit's
been tabbed...
- [Kimi] I'm here!
- Kimi, turn off!
for frequent interpolation
and interpretation.
D 26, 26 means it's not
the algorithm picking it,
it's the code of the person
requesting it. Why?
- How do I find out who requested it?
- You can't.
- Can you?
- Maybe.
I don't know. I've never tried.
I'd need the device number.
Just sent it to you. But you can't access
the user data with the device number.
Of course you can.
Who says you can't?
- Someone at corporate.
- Well, they lied.
If you have the device number
and the admin code,
you can hear every recording
that Kimi's ever made...
- [Kimi] I'm here!
- ...if you want.
Kimi, turn the fuck off!
- [Darius exhales]
- Do you have an admin code?
Yes, but I'm not gonna give you mine.
You'd need a dummy code.
- Will you make me one?
- Why the fuck would I do that?
You know, you only ever call me
when you need a favor.
And your Instagram is bullshit,
by the way. I data scraped.
It's full of reposts and lies.
I don't even know who you are, really.
[gulps] Ah!
Who makes
fake life online, huh?
Literally everyone. Can you make
me a dummy admin code, please?
Why should I?
- Because I heard something bad.
- You hear lots bad.
No, not like this.
And, trust me, I know bad.
I used to moderate for Facebook.
[incoming call ringing
on laptop]
[Angela sighs]
Shit. I gotta go.
Send me the code?
This is last favor, fake Hotness.
You're too weird, even for me.
Thanks. Bye.
[hangs up]
Hi.
Where are you? We had a session
starting 20 minutes ago.
- I am... Something came up at work that I, uh...
- [cell phone text chime]
Angela?
Yeah. That I, uh, just got
a little wrapped up in.
- "Wrapped up?" What do you mean, wrapped up?
- [cell phone text chime]
I just, um, couldn't stop
thinking about it.
Angela? What are you doing?
This is rude.
Yeah, sorry. I'm sorry.
- Uh, I was just looking at the... the thing.
- [cell phone text chime]
Some new data
has come to light.
Okay. This is the sort of thing we've
wanted to leave behind, isn't it?
Thinking about something
to the exclusion of all else,
even when you've been
asked to stop?
Like the virus,
like Evergreen...
Wow! Wow, just leaping in
with both feet today, huh?
What is this work thing?
Why pursue this?
I heard something and I...
I think a woman
might need help.
Maybe she does.
Or maybe you've just replaced
your real stresses with this.
Do you think
it's time to talk about it?
- About what?
- What happened to you at Evergreen.
How long you're going to let it
color the rest of your life.
- [construction grinding]
- Yeah.
Yeah. I think you're right.
And at what point are you going to
say "Enough. My life starts now?"
Yep. Yep. You are...
You're 100% right, Dr. Burns.
Thank you. Thank you.
And I'm realizing the thing that I
really want to be able to do is, like...
[sighs]
[dramatic music]
- [Samantha on recording] Kimi.
- [Kimi] I'm here!
[Samantha] Call Brad mobile.

[footsteps on recording]
[Brad on recording] You have

[Samantha] You know
what you did.
[Brad] You don't know
what you're talking about.
[Samantha] I don't know
what I'm talking about?
- [Brad] It wasn't like that.
- [Samantha] Admit what you did.
[Brad] I thought
it was a fucking game.
[Samantha] Bullshit!
You raped me.
[Brad] You're insane. I...
I don't know what you want.
[Samantha sniffles] I want people
to know who you really are.
I want them to know
you're a rapist!
[Brad] Stop it!
And stop calling my house.
[Samantha] No, Brad.
No. I won't be discarded.
[Brad] This is over.
[Samantha] Oh, no, it isn't.
I know things, Brad.
[Brad] You should
stop talking right now.
[Samantha] People need to know
about your shitty product.
They should know anybody can
hack into it any time they want.
Say goodbye
to your $100 million.
[Brad] You're sick.
Get some help.
- [Samantha] Admit what you did!
- [Brad] Don't you fucking touch me! You...
[Brad] You ever come
to my house again, I'll...
[Samantha] What?
What are you gonna do?
[Brad] I'm not fucking around anymore!
Stop it! Stop it now.
[Samantha] No, Brad! No, Brad!
No, Brad! No, Brad!
- No!
- [door closes]
[breathing heavily]
- Kimi.
- [Kimi] I'm here!

Over there. Over there.
- [muffled scream]
- [thug] Lay her down.
[muffled screams]
[Thug] That's it.
Over there. On the ground.

Hello?
[Chowdhury on phone] May I
speak to Ms. Childs, please?
This is she.
It's Natalie Chowdhury,
returning your call.
Are you there?
[crying] Yes. Yes, I'm here.
As I said, it's Natalie
Chowdhury, from Amygdala.
You called me earlier
about, uh, a data stream?
- Several times, I see.
- Yes.
[crying] Yes,
I've heard something.
I've heard
something disturbing.
I see. Well, um...
I am sorry to say that this
does come up from time to time.
And it is not something
I take lightly.
- You've called exactly the right person.
- [crying]
I... I'll tell you
what let's do.
Let's definitely call the FBI
as soon as possible.
I'm clearing my schedule
for the rest of the day.
Close your files,
come to my office,
and we'll listen
to the recordings together.
We can be joined
by a third party
and you can select
from anyone on my staff.
Then we'll notify
the authorities officially.
Together.
When they come,
we'll play everything for them here.
Does that sound good?
[crying] I'm leaving now.

Yeah, that's lateral thinking.
No, that's Caracas.
Mmm-hmm.
Blocked.
Mmm-hmm.
September.
[cell phone vibrating]
Everybody keep going.
I'll jump back on in five.
[cell phone vibrating]
This was not our agreement.
[Rivas on phone] No choice.
Why not?
Your friend...
Did you give her a Kimi?
Holy shit.
Unbelievable.
She got unpredictable. Threatening.
I was just keeping an eye on things.
Well, so was she.
I don't understand how...
Tech worker got an algo prompt.
She's on her way
to see Chowdhury.
What now?
How much more cash
can you get?
[dramatic music playing]
[announcer speaking
indistinctly]
[recorded voice on intercom] Remove
eyeglasses and lean into scanner.
Oh, I never, um...
[recorded voice on intercom] Remove
eye glasses and lean into scanner.
Hello?
Hello?
[recorded voice on intercom] Please
use this card to access floor three.
- [loud blast of air]
- [gasps]
[beeps]
Excuse me.
Ms. Chowdhury's office?
- Um, at the end of the hall to the left.
- Thanks.
[high-pitched ringing]
Hi. I'm here
to see Ms. Chowdhury.
Ms. Childs.
Yes, she's expecting you.
Can I get you anything?
Are you all right?
- Everything's good. Ms. Childs.
- Hi.
- Hey, come on in.
- I'm fine.
- [Chowdhury] Have a seat.
- [Angela] Thank you.
[exhales sharply] Wow,
that is one hell of a story.
I just...
- Oh!
- Yeah, I thought so too.
Oh!
I'm with you, you know.
- Okay.
- [whispers] Okay.
Can I hear the streams, then?
Oh...
Right now?
Well, yes.
Oh. I...
I, um...
Sorry, I thought... I thought that
you said we would do it in the...
In the presence of the FBI?
That's not exactly
what I said,
but I have to know
what we're dealing with.
We're dealing with what sounds
like a premeditated murder.
How do I know that?
Because I just told you.
Twice now.
- Okay, Angela.
- Yeah?
How about you give me the device and
number, and I can pull the data myself?
[sighs] Can we please
just call the FBI first?
- [sighs] Angela.
- Yeah?
I understand that you have taken
some mental health leave in the past.
[stutters] W...
why is that in my file?
Well, it's just to say
that I understand that...
You understand what?
Well, not the specifics
of your case.
- I mean, I would never...
- I was assaulted. I...
I was assaulted...
And...
and the police put me
on trial instead of him.
Wow. That's awful.
[exhales] And under
those circumstances,
I certainly understand
your reluctance.
[sighs]
Are your parents
with us, Angela?
My mother is.
My father died
not long before the incident.
I cannot imagine how that...
I never gave you guys
a retinal scan.
Sorry?
Downstairs. There was
a retinal scanner at the door
and it let me in,
but I never sat for a scan.
Well, we take them off the
video conferences. It's faster.
- But I didn't give permission.
- Sure you did.
It's in the terms and conditions
of the conference software.
Nobody reads those.
Angela...
What are we doing here?
We're waiting for you
to call the FBI?
[chuckles softly] You're right.
[sighs] You're right.
It'll take me two minutes. I...
Okay, I have to get
Mr. Cole on the line.
Um...
Make yourself comfortable.
And, Angela...
You're a very strong,
brave woman.
No one's ever accused me
of that before.
Well, it's true.
You hang tight.
Hey, I am gonna get Cole
on the line...
If he calls me
before I find him, just...
[moans]
Excuse me. Do you have
a bathroom I can use?
It's in the hallway.
Past the elevators.
[exhales deeply]
Phew. [clears throat]

Hey, you've reached Terry Hughes.
Sorry, I can't come
to the phone right now.
[cell phone call ringing]
[Dr. Burns on answering machine]
This is Dr. Sarah Burns.
I'm away from the phone
or in a session right now.
That envelope looks thin.
It's a Coinbase login.
Better be enough.
It's everything I have left.
We are contained and clean
at a corporate level.
But the tech worker's
in the open.
You said you had her.
They did.
But now they don't.
What the fuck, Rivas?
I can handle it.
I'll use Yuri.
But Yuri's expensive. So...
This is...
This is happening too fast.
I know, right?
Crazy times.
The world these days.
I mean, it bums me out,
to be honest.
Relax. In a week
you'll be rich.
Don't ever contact me again.
[classical piano music

[Yuri] Forget how to use
a rerouter?
[Rivas on phone] I need a moving
packet location in real-time.
- [Yuri] Just use Spyic.
- Didn't work.
- This an amateur?
- She works in tech.
So she has TrakBlok.
Why do you think
I called you?
I like her.
$50,000 if I'm always live.
That's usurious.
No, it is not.
I'm not charging interest.
It's excessive,
is what you mean.
Fine. Fifty.
Number?
U.S. 206-134-0970.
Don't go anywhere.
[classical piano music

[keyboard clacking]
[Yuri] You still there?
[Rivas] Where the fuck else
would I be, Yuri?
She's moving south on Fifth,
towards Union.
You better hurry.
She's walking fast.

What the hell?
Oh, fuck me.
No, no, no, fuck you.

[Angela screams]
[protesters shouting] Homes, not jails!
Homes, not jails!
[Rivas on phone] God damn it,
she's gone. Fucking gone.
[Yuri] Relax.
[classical piano music
on stereo]
Yuri? You still there?
Where the fuck is she, Yuri?
Question is not where she is.
It's where she's going.
I don't know. I couldn't see. Maybe she
went north. It's a fucking mob of people.
Fucking assholes, man.
They've got nothing better to do.
What the fuck
is wrong with people?
Everybody in everybody
else's business.
Que molestia.

[thug 1] She's still out.
[thug 2] Where else
can we do it?
[thug 1] What? Like, in public?
[thug 2] Sure.
[thug 1] She never goes out,
now they're gonna find her on the street?
[thug 2] Mugging. Bleeds out.
Happens all the time.
[thug 1] He said at home.
[thug 2] What? A break-in?
- [thug 1] Why not?
- [thug 2] I just don't like it.
[thug 1] You don't have to.
[thug 2] What did she do?
- [thug 1] Don't start.
- [thug 2] What, you never wonder?
- [thug 1] Please.
- [thug 2] Yeah...
[thug 1] This is it. Pull over.

[thug 1] Wait for these two.
[van door opens]
[grunts] Come on.
[both grunting]
[thug 1] Get her arm.
[thug 2] You got her?
[both grunting]
[thug 2] Fuck.
[Angela moaning]
- [thug 1] You got her?
- [thug 2] I got her. Hurry up.
[thug 1] Jesus, it's like
a fucking janitor's keys.
Come on. It'll be great.
- [man] Angela!
- Incoming.
Angela! Hey!
How's it going?
Oh! You don't look
so good, girl. [laughs]
What's she been doing,
you guys?
She had a little relapse.
But we got her.
- Oh, yeah? That's it, huh?
- Yeah. Yeah.
- Yeah, is that right? Good.
- Yeah, yeah. He's got her.

It's, um...
You know. It's... it's on your...
it's on your buzzer.
Not my first name.
[straining] I searched
your address records.
It wasn't hard.
You're like me.
You never go out.
That's how I knew
that you were in trouble.
[grunting]
Serves me right.
[man straining]
Is this the only copy?
- [Angela] Well, I...
- [man] No.
- [Rivas] Okay.
- [moans]
The files on there
were dumped from somewhere.
Where did you get them from?
Doesn't matter.
I emailed it to everyone
I know this morning.
You sent it to exactly no one.
I went through your email.
Where did you get them from?
Who is it on the recording?
[Rivas] Does it matter?
Where did you copy that from?

Toothache? Ooh.

Do you hear her? What?
What? Say what now?

Huh.
Watch them.

Oh, thank you.
We have all that.
[man groaning]
[man] Thank you.

- [Rivas] That's it?
- [thug 1] Yeah.
[Rivas] Check her downloads.

Call 9-1-1.
[line ringing]
I know. Sorry,
but somebody was coming up...
[line ringing]
[female operator on phone]
9-1-1, what's your emergency?
My name is Angela Childs.
I'd like to report a break-in at
1-8-5-5 Stacy Street, apartment 4F.
There's a person here who's been
stabbed and needs medical attention,
and there's also, um...
Three dead bodies.
Hi.
Hey...
["Connection" playing]
Riding on any wave
That is the luck you crave
They don't believe it now
They just think it's stupid
So got anything?
Anyone could have done
Who would've cared at all
Not you
Another heart
Has made the trade
Forget it, forget it
Forget it
I don't understand
How a heart is a spade
But somehow the vital
Connection is made
Riding on anything
Anything's good enough
Who would've thought it of
Someone like you
Just as they
Brought me round
Now that they
Brought you down
Roundabout and roundabout
Who wants a life anyway?
Another heart
Has made the grade
Forget it, forget it
Forget it
I don't understand
How the last card is played
But somehow the vital
Connection is made
[Kimi] I'm here!
["Connection" continues]
[music score plays]
main difference is, in your mind
between Kimi and products
like Siri or Alexa.
[Brad] Well, Sharon, I will tell you
the difference between Kimi and those
other products you mention
by name. People.
It's our people and their level
of excellence that sets us apart.
The voice interpolation on Kimi
is a perfect example.
We don't have an algorithm trying to
figure out what you said or what you meant.
We have actual people
analyzing Kimi requests
so we can continually update our
understanding of how you communicate,
who you are, what you want.
So you're listening
to everything?
No. Not at all. We are flagging miscommunication
so Kimi can better understand you.
And we do this every day.
Think of it this way. Kimi understands
you better today than it did yesterday
because of our people.
Is that efficient?
It's actually the fastest way to get
better fast, if that makes any sense.
The bottom line is,
it's working.
You pushed for the Amygdala
Corporation to go public,
the idea, the timing, mostly yours.
How are you feeling?
I feel great.
I've been saying since I was
brought in two years ago,
Kimi is the future
of this company.
It just seemed obvious to me,
and the board agrees.
But talk to me in a week, after the
IPO, if you'll give me the time.
[Sharon] I absolutely will.
Bradley Hasling, CEO of the Amygdala
Corporation, thank you for joining us.
We know it's early
there in Seattle.
Oh, Jess.
- [door closes]
- I was up.
I forgot you had Sharon.
- Is he awake?
- No.
I'll do it.
Did she ask you how much
you would pocket?
Oh, she knows
I wouldn't answer that.
Where'd they set
the share price? Twenty-eight?
Thirty-one.
Which would put us
north of...
I can't count that high.
[sighs]
[cell phone vibrating]
Yes?
[Rivas on phone] You can
transfer the second payment now.
[whispers] Jesus.
Okay.
And no chance of discovery?
Of her? No.
You there?
[smacks lips]
You'll have it within the hour.
[music playing]
- Kimi.
- [Kimi] I'm here!
What time is it?
It's 7:26 a.m.,

You're gonna be late.

Well, today will be the sixth consecutive
day of protests over the city's
so-called Homeless Safe Zones.

[Marcos on phone] Hello?
Marcos, it's Angela.
I thought we had an agreement.
I know, but I got the carpet guy coming,
and the tackless strip went down all wrong.
I just need
a couple of hours.
I get it,
I have deadlines too,
which is why we agreed 9:00 a.m.
to 6:00 p.m. on weekdays,
10:00 to 5:00 on Saturdays,
and never on Sundays.
- Please don't do that.
- Do what?
Say the same thing over and over again until
I can't take it anymore and I give up.
All I'm doing
is reminding you
that you said 9:00 a.m.
to 6:00 p.m. on weekdays,
- 10:00 to 5:00 on Saturdays, and never on...
- Okay! Okay, okay.
Hold the work, guys.
Try a wide putty knife
to get the strips up,
and don't use
a nail gun next time.
[Marcos on phone] Whoa,
what are you, in the business?
My dad was.
He did my place.
Maybe I should talk to him.
You can't.
Just let me know whenever
you're gonna go out, will you?
Yep. Thanks. Bye.
- [woman on stream] Kimi.
- [Kimi on stream] I'm here!
[woman] Put more kitchen paper
in the cart for next time.
[Kimi] One possibility is Green
Kitchen, on Decatur Street.
[woman] No!
I need more kitchen paper.

- [Kimi on stream] I'm here!

[Kimi] I'm listening.

- [Kimi] Tell me what's on your mind.
- [boy on stream] Hey, Kimi.
- [Kimi on stream] I'm here!
[boy] You're a peckerwood.
[Kimi] I don't know what you
mean by "You're a peckerwood."
[boy laughing] It means
you're a big wooden dick.
[video call line ringing]
- Hi, sweetie.
- Hi. Do you have time to talk?
Um, a little. What's wrong?
What? Nothing.
I don't know, nothing. I...
Is there something specific?
No.
I'm sorry I bothered you. God.
Okay. Can we start over?
Good morning, my darling.
[sighs] So, you know the guy
from across the street?
Yes.
I'm not sure I approve of you waving in
the window like a hooker in Amsterdam,
but, uh, I know who you mean.
Mom, it was lockdown.
Everyone was in the window.
What about the guy?
I asked him to meet me
for breakfast.
Out?
- Good!
- No.
I didn't... I didn't go,
but I tried.
I don't know what you want me to say,
other than the things I always say.
I don't want you
to say anything. I don't...
Did you try that Turn2Me group?
[sighs]
Okay.
- The Zoom one?
- Yes.
- Roman read about.
- I know the one. Please stop.
Oh, God. I would love to.
Okay. Bye, Mom.

[Darius over computer] Angela?
Angela? Hello?
Do you hear me, Angela?
[Angela] Yeah.
- [Darius] Did you find it?
- [Angela] Yeah!
[Darius] The black sigma repeater
with the six inputs! Yeah?
[Angela] No, yeah, I know,
but I think I had a bad cable too.
[Darius] Ah, okay.
- All right, rebooting now.
- [Darius] Okay.
Thanks, Darius.
[Darius] Anything
for you, Hotness.
You can't say
that shit anymore, Darius.
Ah, this is Romania.
MeToo is like 50 years away.
Stay on, let's have a drink.
Isn't it like 6:00
in the morning for you?
Oh, is it? I didn't notice.
Thanks for the help.
Please don't leave me.

you know I'm on my way, then why...
- You have to buzz.
- Okay. Okay. Sorry.

Now what?
[moaning] Yeah.
[Terry groans]
- Yes. [panting]
- [Terry] Oof.
I lied.
I actually don't work
for the cable company.
- [chuckling] Oh, great.

As long as you don't work
in the D.A.'s office.
[Terry] Um...
Or for the... [snorts]
- Oh, go on with that shit.
- [Angela laughing]
[sighs]
When were you
at the waterfront?
[Angela] What are you
looking at?
Your Instagram.
- You ate at The Pink Door?
- [door opens]
No.
You wrote here you did.
I just liked the picture.
Why would you write,
"Oh, my God, so delicious,"
if you've never
been there before?
You know that spot
used to be Arturo's?
- No.
- With the red awning.
It's just right across the
street from the old guitar store.
Vaguely. Yeah.
- It's a Thai place now.
- Is it good?
I don't know,
they don't do takeout.
Sickos.
The guy in the lobby said it's
the best Thai food he ever had.
Why can't things just be good? Why do
things always have to be "the best."
I thought I'd try it.
"This is the best
Mobil QuickMart
on the entire West Coast
of the United States."
I'm just throwing it
out there.
Look, we could go right at
6:00, as soon as they open,
before anybody's there.
It would just be me and you.
The server
ain't even came in yet.
We could yell our order
straight to the cook.
Never mind.
[washer beeps]
[Terry] I'm sorry.
[Angela] You promised
you wouldn't do that.
I know, but you were trying this
morning with the food truck.
I brought that up,
that was my suggestion, on my terms.
[Terry] Okay, okay.
Look, I don't know
how much longer I can...
I didn't get through my streams.
I have work tonight.

left, please? Toward the light?
[Angela] Mmm-hmm.
Okay, using your pinky finger,
can you feel along the
outer ridge of the gum line?
Yeah.
Okay, now feel that same ridge, but on
the other side, for the right molar.
Okay.
Do you notice any difference?
Yeah, the left one's swollen.
Soft or hard tissue?
Hard.
You need to come in.
Angela, your gum is swollen
and inflamed with red streaks.
You may have an abscess.
Can't you just call in
an antibiotic?
I could, but it'll come back.
We need to do a root canal.
I take perfect care
of my teeth.
You grind. You cracked it.
It happens.
I take perfect care of my teeth
so that I don't need to come in.
I understand. I thought things had
improved for you in this... in this area.
Yeah. Well, COVID was a
little bit of a setback. So...
I... I understand that.
And I know
this is difficult for you.
You don't know.
[sighing]
No, I guess I don't know.
What I do know
is that an abscessed tooth
is a magic carpet for bacteria to enter
the bloodstream and go to your brain.
Please just call in the
prescription to the regular place.
And maybe
some painkillers, okay?
I'm not prescribing opiates
for a toothache
you're perfectly capable
of treating.
I am not capable of treating it
and you know it.
[dentist sighs]
I can't come to you. I would
need too much equipment.
Please just call it in.
The antibiotic only.
But you're making a mistake.
Yeah, okay. Thanks.

a week before the IPO.
I thought it might
have been a crime.
Delete it.
Did you hear me?
I thought it might have been a crime.
Yeah, the devices
pick up things. Lots of things.
And our policy
is it's not our business.
Aren't we legally obligated?
Because of the Amazon Arkansas thing?
Do you know how long that court case was?
That was two years.
[children shouting]
And that was a murder. Trust me,
Angela, we do not want our own Arkansas.
I think this might
have been sexual assault.
Don't... No. Don't say that.
You don't know that. It was an argument.
I have a very strong feeling.
Based on what?
[children shouting]
Based on my
very strong feeling.
Okay. Just skip this one.
I can't do that. I clear my list.
I always clear my list.
Yes, I know that, and it's one of the
things that I like best about you.
So here's what you do.
You just mark this degraded audio
- and delete it, and then you'll be clear.
- [children shouting]
Will you please,
please shut up?
I am trying to work!
What if this woman
needs help?
[sighs] We have
no idea who she is.
I have the stream number.
Yeah, but those
are randomly assigned.
She's totally anonymous,
that's the whole point.
Why did I only get a partial?
There was no wake word.
How did the Kimi unit turn on?
[Kimi] I'm here!
Kimi, turn off.
Okay, what about
the device number?
Can we access
the user account from that?
No. I don't have access
to those accounts.
Who does?
[children shouting]
- Mrs. Chowdhury might.
- Who?
Natalie Chowdhury,
she's the head of Organic Interpolation.
She's in Seattle,
in a, uh, tech hub someplace.
Okay. What's her email?
Don't email, you infant.
Call her.
Okay, what's her number?
Listen, don't email
anybody about this.
I'm telling you, you do not
want the aggravation.
They hate
this kind of thing.
What is her number?
I don't know. Look it up
in the company directory.
And, hey, don't send me anything
like this ever again. Please.
Hey, you guys, I swear to God!
You are driving me insane!
I am going to take everything you
love and put it in a garbage bag!
- [woman on phone] Organics.
- Hi, may I sp...
Is this the number
for Ms. Chowdhury?
Ms. Chowdhury's not in
just now. May I take a message?
Yes, my name is Angela Childs.
I'm a voice stream interpreter.
And I believe I may have heard
a crime on one of the streams.
I see. Amygdala takes evidence of
wrongdoing very seriously, Ms. Childs.
If you could please write a detailed
summary and email it to Ms. Chowdhury,
she will return your call
by the end of day.
Uh, I'd rather
just tell her about it.
Amygdala takes this
very seriously, Ms. Childs,
and we do ask that you start
with a written report.
[line ringing]
- [woman on phone] Organics.
- Hello, this is Angela Childs.
I was just wondering
if Ms. Chowdhury was in yet?
Ms. Chowdhury's not in just now.
Did you send the report?
No, not yet, but I will. Do you have
any sense of when she'll be back?
Hello again, this is Angela Childs calling.
I was wondering...
[woman on phone] Yes, Ms.
Childs, I recognized the number.
I'm afraid
she's still not free.
It might be easier if you just came in.
You're in Seattle, I see?
Yes.
Fine, just come down to the
office in about an hour.
Bring the recording, and if
she isn't available, I'll...
I can't come there.
May I ask why not?
Yes, because
it's not convenient.
But you can tell her
that I will be
available all day. Okay?
Okay, Ms. Childs, I will do.
Thank you.
[line ringing]
[Terry on phone] Hey.
Hey, Prosecutor,
what you doing?
I can't really talk right now.
Make it fast. What's up?
Okay, sorry. Um,
I just had a quick question.
Um, if I heard a crime
on one of the streams,
who do I tell?
FBI.
The Internet is interstate.
What'd you hear?
I'll, um,
I'll tell you later...
When you come over?
- Maybe around 8:00-ish?
- [construction grinding]
I don't know.
I'll text you.
Okay.
[computer call ringing]
[chime as call answered]
Hey, Hotness!
Seriously, Darius,
they will fire you for that.
I invite them to fuck off!
- Are you drunk?
- Yes. What do you want?
What's a freq tab D 26,
26 request?
Why?
It was on a stream yesterday.
Ah!
A freq tab means a Kimi unit's
been tabbed...
- [Kimi] I'm here!
- Kimi, turn off!
for frequent interpolation
and interpretation.
D 26, 26 means it's not
the algorithm picking it,
it's the code of the person
requesting it. Why?
- How do I find out who requested it?
- You can't.
- Can you?
- Maybe.
I don't know. I've never tried.
I'd need the device number.
Just sent it to you. But you can't access
the user data with the device number.
Of course you can.
Who says you can't?
- Someone at corporate.
- Well, they lied.
If you have the device number
and the admin code,
you can hear every recording
that Kimi's ever made...
- [Kimi] I'm here!
- ...if you want.
Kimi, turn the fuck off!
- [Darius exhales]
- Do you have an admin code?
Yes, but I'm not gonna give you mine.
You'd need a dummy code.
- Will you make me one?
- Why the fuck would I do that?
You know, you only ever call me
when you need a favor.
And your Instagram is bullshit,
by the way. I data scraped.
It's full of reposts and lies.
I don't even know who you are, really.
[gulps] Ah!
Who makes
fake life online, huh?
Literally everyone. Can you make
me a dummy admin code, please?
Why should I?
- Because I heard something bad.
- You hear lots bad.
No, not like this.
And, trust me, I know bad.
I used to moderate for Facebook.
[incoming call ringing
on laptop]
[Angela sighs]
Shit. I gotta go.
Send me the code?
This is last favor, fake Hotness.
You're too weird, even for me.
Thanks. Bye.
[hangs up]
Hi.
Where are you? We had a session
starting 20 minutes ago.
- I am... Something came up at work that I, uh...
- [cell phone text chime]
Angela?
Yeah. That I, uh, just got
a little wrapped up in.
- "Wrapped up?" What do you mean, wrapped up?
- [cell phone text chime]
I just, um, couldn't stop
thinking about it.
Angela? What are you doing?
This is rude.
Yeah, sorry. I'm sorry.
- Uh, I was just looking at the... the thing.
- [cell phone text chime]
Some new data
has come to light.
Okay. This is the sort of thing we've
wanted to leave behind, isn't it?
Thinking about something
to the exclusion of all else,
even when you've been
asked to stop?
Like the virus,
like Evergreen...
Wow! Wow, just leaping in
with both feet today, huh?
What is this work thing?
Why pursue this?
I heard something and I...
I think a woman
might need help.
Maybe she does.
Or maybe you've just replaced
your real stresses with this.
Do you think
it's time to talk about it?
- About what?
- What happened to you at Evergreen.
How long you're going to let it
color the rest of your life.
- [construction grinding]
- Yeah.
Yeah. I think you're right.
And at what point are you going to
say "Enough. My life starts now?"
Yep. Yep. You are...
You're 100% right, Dr. Burns.
Thank you. Thank you.
And I'm realizing the thing that I
really want to be able to do is, like...
[sighs]

[Brad on recording] You have
to fucking stop this.
[Samantha] You know
what you did.
[Brad] You don't know
what you're talking about.
[Samantha] I don't know
what I'm talking about?
- [Brad] It wasn't like that.
- [Samantha] Admit what you did.
[Brad] I thought
it was a fucking game.
[Samantha] Bullshit!
You raped me.
[Brad] You're insane. I...
I don't know what you want.
[Samantha sniffles] I want people
to know who you really are.
I want them to know
you're a rapist!
[Brad] Stop it!
And stop calling my house.
[Samantha] No, Brad.
No. I won't be discarded.
[Brad] This is over.
[Samantha] Oh, no, it isn't.
I know things, Brad.
[Brad] You should
stop talking right now.
[Samantha] People need to know
about your shitty product.
They should know anybody can
hack into it any time they want.
Say goodbye
to your $100 million.
[Brad] You're sick.
Get some help.
- [Samantha] Admit what you did!
- [Brad] Don't you fucking touch me! You...
[Brad] You ever come
to my house again, I'll...
[Samantha] What?
What are you gonna do?
[Brad] I'm not fucking around anymore!
Stop it! Stop it now.
[Samantha] No, Brad! No, Brad!
No, Brad! No, Brad!
- No!

Hello?
[Chowdhury on phone] May I
speak to Ms. Childs, please?
This is she.
It's Natalie Chowdhury,
returning your call.
Are you there?
[crying] Yes. Yes, I'm here.
As I said, it's Natalie
Chowdhury, from Amygdala.
You called me earlier
about, uh, a data stream?
- Several times, I see.
- Yes.
[crying] Yes,
I've heard something.
I've heard
something disturbing.
I see. Well, um...
I am sorry to say that this
does come up from time to time.
And it is not something
I take lightly.
- You've called exactly the right person.
- [crying]
I... I'll tell you
what let's do.
Let's definitely call the FBI
as soon as possible.
I'm clearing my schedule
for the rest of the day.
Close your files,
come to my office,
and we'll listen
to the recordings together.
We can be joined
by a third party
and you can select
from anyone on my staff.
Then we'll notify
the authorities officially.
Together.
When they come,
we'll play everything for them here.
Does that sound good?
[crying] I'm leaving now.

Yeah, that's lateral thinking.
No, that's Caracas.
Mmm-hmm.

[cell phone vibrating]
Everybody keep going.
I'll jump back on in five.
[cell phone vibrating]
This was not our agreement.
[Rivas on phone] No choice.
Why not?
Your friend...
Did you give her a Kimi?
Holy shit.
Unbelievable.
She got unpredictable. Threatening.
I was just keeping an eye on things.
Well, so was she.
I don't understand how...
Tech worker got an algo prompt.
She's on her way
to see Chowdhury.
What now?
How much more cash
can you get?
[dramatic music playing]
[announcer speaking

[recorded voice on intercom] Remove
eyeglasses and lean into scanner.
Oh, I never, um...
[recorded voice on intercom] Remove
eye glasses and lean into scanner.
Hello?
Hello?
[recorded voice on intercom] Please
use this card to access floor three.

- [gasps]
[beeps]
Excuse me.
Ms. Chowdhury's office?
- Um, at the end of the hall to the left.
- Thanks.
[high-pitched ringing]
Hi. I'm here
to see Ms. Chowdhury.
Ms. Childs.
Yes, she's expecting you.
Can I get you anything?
Are you all right?
- Everything's good. Ms. Childs.
- Hi.
- Hey, come on in.
- I'm fine.
- [Chowdhury] Have a seat.
- [Angela] Thank you.
[exhales sharply] Wow,
that is one hell of a story.
I just...
- Oh!
- Yeah, I thought so too.
Oh!
I'm with you, you know.
- Okay.
- [whispers] Okay.
Can I hear the streams, then?
Oh...
Right now?
Well, yes.
Oh. I...
I, um...
Sorry, I thought... I thought that
you said we would do it in the...
In the presence of the FBI?
That's not exactly
what I said,
but I have to know
what we're dealing with.
We're dealing with what sounds
like a premeditated murder.
How do I know that?
Because I just told you.
Twice now.
- Okay, Angela.
- Yeah?
How about you give me the device and
number, and I can pull the data myself?
[sighs] Can we please
just call the FBI first?
- [sighs] Angela.
- Yeah?
I understand that you have taken
some mental health leave in the past.
[stutters] W...
why is that in my file?
Well, it's just to say
that I understand that...
You understand what?
Well, not the specifics
of your case.
- I mean, I would never...
- I was assaulted. I...
I was assaulted...
And...
and the police put me
on trial instead of him.
Wow. That's awful.
[exhales] And under
those circumstances,
I certainly understand
your reluctance.
[sighs]
Are your parents
with us, Angela?
My mother is.
My father died
not long before the incident.
I cannot imagine how that...
I never gave you guys
a retinal scan.
Sorry?
Downstairs. There was
a retinal scanner at the door
and it let me in,
but I never sat for a scan.
Well, we take them off the
video conferences. It's faster.
- But I didn't give permission.
- Sure you did.
It's in the terms and conditions
of the conference software.
Nobody reads those.
Angela...
What are we doing here?
We're waiting for you
to call the FBI?
[chuckles softly] You're right.
[sighs] You're right.
It'll take me two minutes. I...
Okay, I have to get
Mr. Cole on the line.
Um...
Make yourself comfortable.
And, Angela...
You're a very strong,
brave woman.
No one's ever accused me
of that before.
Well, it's true.
You hang tight.
Hey, I am gonna get Cole
on the line...
If he calls me
before I find him, just...
[moans]
Excuse me. Do you have
a bathroom I can use?
It's in the hallway.
Past the elevators.

This is Dr. Sarah Burns.
I'm away from the phone
or in a session right now.
That envelope looks thin.
It's a Coinbase login.
Better be enough.
It's everything I have left.
We are contained and clean
at a corporate level.
But the tech worker's
in the open.
You said you had her.
They did.
But now they don't.
What the fuck, Rivas?
I can handle it.
I'll use Yuri.
But Yuri's expensive. So...
This is...
This is happening too fast.
I know, right?
Crazy times.
The world these days.
I mean, it bums me out,
to be honest.
Relax. In a week
you'll be rich.
Don't ever contact me again.
[classical piano music

[Yuri] Forget how to use
a rerouter?
[Rivas on phone] I need a moving
packet location in real-time.
- [Yuri] Just use Spyic.
- Didn't work.
- This an amateur?
- She works in tech.
So she has TrakBlok.
Why do you think
I called you?
I like her.
$50,000 if I'm always live.
That's usurious.
No, it is not.
I'm not charging interest.
It's excessive,
is what you mean.
Fine. Fifty.
Number?
U.S. 206-134-0970.
Don't go anywhere.
[classical piano music

[Rivas] Where the fuck else
would I be, Yuri?
She's moving south on Fifth,

You better hurry.
She's walking fast.

Homes, not jails!
[Rivas on phone] God damn it,
she's gone. Fucking gone.
[Yuri] Relax.
[classical piano music

Yuri? You still there?
Where the fuck is she, Yuri?
Question is not where she is.
It's where she's going.
I don't know. I couldn't see. Maybe she
went north. It's a fucking mob of people.
Fucking assholes, man.
They've got nothing better to do.
What the fuck
is wrong with people?
Everybody in everybody
else's business.
Que molestia.

[thug 1] He said at home.
[thug 2] What? A break-in?

[thug 1] You don't have to.
[thug 2] What did she do?

Come on. It'll be great.

Angela! Hey!
How's it going?
Oh! You don't look
so good, girl. [laughs]
What's she been doing,
you guys?
She had a little relapse.
But we got her.

Where did you get them from?
Doesn't matter.
I emailed it to everyone
I know this morning.
You sent it to exactly no one.
I went through your email.
Where did you get them from?
Who is it on the recording?

and there's also, um...
Three dead bodies.
Hi.

So got anything?
Anyone could have done
Who would've cared at all
Not you
Another heart
Has made the trade
Forget it, forget it
Forget it
I don't understand
How a heart is a spade
But somehow the vital
Connection is made
Riding on anything
Anything's good enough
Who would've thought it of
Someone like you
Just as they
Brought me round
Now that they
Brought you down
Roundabout and roundabout
Who wants a life anyway?
Another heart
Has made the grade
Forget it, forget it
Forget it
I don't understand
How the last card is played
But somehow the vital
Connection is made
[Kimi] I'm here!
["Connection" continues]
