Relay (2024) Movie Script
1
I don't remember the bigger matter,
though.
It's my decision, Huffman.
I look at you and you seem almost normal.
Arrogant, but normal.
I thought I'd get to see what evil really
looked like, but...
You just look like everyone else.
Is that it?
Can I go now?
This is every good night for premier.
My representative will keep one safety
copy.
If you're done following me out of here,
anything happens to me.
That copy goes to law enforcement.
I know how this works.
I need to take a picture.
I'll see you here.
Bye-bye.
Two old buddies.
I'll be freeing it.
Good luck with your new life.
Mr. Huffman.
Thanks for waiting.
Okay.
Okay, where am I?
Look here.
You showed us tonight.
I handed over the documents and took a
train to the CFP as instructed.
I hope the safety copy is enough to keep
optimal on my back.
And yours.
I sent the other half of the money to the
address you provided.
I wasn't expecting to go much myself.
I thought I would go for your fee.
Thank you.
Okay, then, please, mayor.
Hi, I'm Julie.
Mr. Malak will see you now.
Thank you.
I was in a team developing
a new strain resistant
to insectivation through
precision breeding.
It's like genetic modification.
Homie is using natural processes.
So it's not subject to the same type of
regulation.
Okay.
We were making progress, but we were
noticing possible human food chain issues.
And then I was seen on a email chain where
one of the attachments was a food safety
assessment showing significant side
effects.
When I raised this issue with
senior management, they told
me that I'd seen the data
out of context and not to worry.
But then soon I was transferred to another
department here in Manhattan.
Office work, data assessment.
And then a few months later, I was
dismissed on a minor time card violation.
And now I'm being subjected to escalating
harassment.
Sorry to hear that, Ms. Graham.
Why do you think this has happened?
I felt... well, I felt I had
a duty to take a copy
of the food safety
assessment to ask evidence.
You stole documents from your former
employer?
Is that stealing?
May I ask why you decided to discuss this
issue with our firm?
I follow the recommendation.
May I ask for whom?
A friend.
Why don't we appropriate stay here?
Ms. Graham, I commend you on your
intentions here.
But we're no longer looking for this type
of business.
There are a number of highly regarded
whistleblower support organizations,
much better prepared.
No, it's not whistleblowing support.
I need it's the opposite.
I just want to give everything back.
Just to keep my mouth shut and get on with
my life.
Please.
Please.
Is there anyone who can help me?
Well, as I said, there are official
channels, but...
Look, there are unofficial ones.
We've referred people to in the past.
Let's take this number and maybe they can
help you.
Who is he?
I've never met him, or her, or they.
That's kind of the point.
It's a messaging service.
They call you back.
Or they don't.
Just be honest about your situation.
You are all set.
The lobby's attended 24 hours a day.
Call if you need anything.
Thanks for getting all this in such short
notice.
That's what we do.
Enjoy your stay.
Hey, I'm Wash and I'm an alcoholic.
I've
been sober nine years, nine months.
And it's been even more of a struggle
recently because there's...
Why I drank in the first place and then
there's me doing what I do.
So I'm proud of serving on the force.
And I stay on the up and up.
Pretty much.
But what I see on the daily amongst my
fellow officers, I don't know.
What's your message?
A hotwood here.
All right.
My name is Sarah Grant.
I'm, I was a scientist looking at a
biotech company.
Cyprus and Ennis.
I'm in possession of materials which are
evidence of my lawful cover-up.
I was going to go public but I changed my
mind.
I don't know how this works.
But I'll do whatever is necessary.
My number is 693-824-4011.
We are delighted to be the recipients of
the Lansing Award.
This research has the potential to
revolutionize grain yields, particularly
in developing countries where they really
need it.
Lowering the lines on pesticides.
And with this grant, we really hope to
make a difference.
Hello, this is the tri-state relay
service.
Yes, hello.
A person is calling through the relay
service.
Have you received a relay call before?
I don't think so.
The person who's called you is likely to
be deaf or hard of hearing.
The caller will type their conversation
and I'll read it to you.
When it's your turn to speak, I'll type
everything you say to them.
Will you speak directly
to the caller and say
go ahead when you're
ready for a response?
No calls are recorded and everything you
say is confidential.
One moment for your call to begin.
You are Sarah.
Your social security number is 915-00449.
You are employed by Cybo-Sementis Research
Institute, XID-990890590, based in St.
Louis.
Is that correct?
Yes.
If finished, please respond with the
order.
Oh, I'm sorry.
I'm sorry.
I'm sorry.
Go ahead.
I was in a research group developing a new
string of insect-resistant wheat.
The food safety report came back with
disturbing data about side effects.
I told my bosses, next thing I knew,
I'd been reassigned.
And later dismissed.
Production of the new string has gone
ahead, but these have been suppressed.
But I was able to get a copy of that food
safety report out of the building.
You mentioned side effects.
And in a small number of cases there were
extreme allergies, saniful access,
and in long-return cases, diverticulitis,
cancer well above face rate.
They predict massive worldwide sales.
Thousands of people will be affected.
But without the information
I have, it will be impossible
to trace it back to the
food people have eaten.
Would you say this document contains clear
evidence of malfeasance?
Comparance to the fraudulent version of
their report.
Yes.
Go ahead.
Do they offer you a cash settlement in
exchange for your silence?
Initially, yes, but I wasn't interested.
I wanted to do the right thing.
But then the intimidation started.
Last night they sent my car on fire.
Go ahead.
Are the police involved?
They told the car away as evidence,
but I haven't involved them.
Go ahead.
Don't.
Was this at 200 Chamber Street in Tribeca?
Yes.
But I have moved now because of the
threats.
What?
Buy a prepaid cell phone, keep it switched
off until you get to a public place,
then leave a message with your new number,
your address, and any further details.
There's a fan parked out front.
I think they'll watch for me.
Go ahead.
They may be tapping this call.
In the future, only use your new phone.
Your call ahead hung up.
Thank you for using the Tri-State Relate
service.
Have a wonderful night.
Go ahead.
339 East Avenue, Yonkers, New York.
My chest.
Please come up.
The Americans with Disabilities Act of
1990, Section 225 prohibits relay
operators from disclosing the content of
any really conversation and from keeping
records of the content of any such
conversation beyond the duration of the call.
Okay.
I don't want to go and get a warrant.
Where'd you say your phone again?
Treasury Department.
That's appropriation.
Well, you know, even with a warrant,
there'd be nothing for you to search.
We don't keep records of our logs.
Where they're coming from or where they're
going to.
This is Sarah Grant.
My new number is 718-493-7071.
1500 Washington Street, Department 2Q
The company is on the verge of being
acquired based on an estimated value of
$3.2 billion, which will be confirmed in
an SEC filing next week.
The information I had went public.
It would break that deal.
They're highly incentivized to prevent
that, which is why it's scared.
A person is calling you through the relay
service.
Have you received a relay call before?
Yes.
Go ahead.
After reviewing your situation,
here's the deal.
We can help you return the documents
whilst maintaining leverage to protect you.
For a wire of $50,000 to deposit
upfront, this will be returned
to you from money we recovered
during the negotiation process.
Can you afford this?
Yes.
Go ahead.
Over the next few days,
you will receive some strange
requests designed to show
us what we're up against.
Please follow all instructions no matter
how hard.
In the future, we will use a passcode
before each conversation.
You will say credit or debit.
You will say check.
Understood.
Understood.
Who is it?
I could join this man.
This is a tri-state relay service.
Have you received a relay call before?
Yes.
Go ahead.
Credit or debit.
Check.
Go ahead.
Tomorrow morning, take the 10-05 flight
from Newark to Pittsburgh.
Then the 11-52 Atlanta.
Do not take this phone with you.
Take the packages
with our deposit and the
record and the landmark
phone you were sent.
But do not try it on until you are at your
gate in Pittsburgh.
Your callers hung up.
I forgot something.
Can I call back?
The callers placed a no-call back request
on this line.
Sorry, ma'am.
Thank you.
Hello.
My phone is back.
Hope I gave you 17.
Let me guess.
Do you have a bathroom?
Yeah, I do.
It happens all the time.
This is Sarah Grant.
I think I'm from here.
Thank you so much.
Hello.
Credit or... Have a check.
Go ahead.
Where are you now?
At the gate.
I'm about to board.
I don't know much I do.
Go ahead.
Do you have the packages?
Yes.
Go ahead.
Good.
Ignore everything else.
And await instructions.
Passengers, Sarah Grant.
Please come to the lost property counter.
Go to the post office and concourse D.
We'll mail both packages.
And we'll call you back.
Sir, may I help you with something?
Passengers, Sarah Grant.
Please
report to page 829.
There's a flying error on it, yeah.
I think you're calling their names.
She didn't show up.
I
Want to do another lap.
If they're following her, they got to be
in here somewhere.
They're not following her.
What do you mean?
We're made.
Where were you?
I can't believe this because of the post
office.
And this one is in Norman, Oklahoma.
Anything to look with gradual hazardous?
No.
So your track number is right here.
And if you want to fill out a service
order.
Okay.
Thanks.
Thank you.
So, track number 8405970223.
Okay.
It's welcome to learn.
Because the airport security thing is
smart.
It's tight.
My name is Louis Pittsburgh.
Since 2001, the TSA
has closed over 113 airport
branches of the United
States post office.
The only one remaining inside security is
Pittsburgh.
I'm interested in two people books
addresses.
But it's helping keep us running.
Looks like it's back to working.
Yo, yo.
You know what I think?
I think I like this one.
Ooh.
It's smarter than we thought.
Hey, do you have the tracking numbers for
you?
There you go.
Let's see where we're going.
Check.
Go ahead.
Good job.
Please confirm that you sent all the
documents and have no further copies.
I confirm.
Were they there today at the airport?
Go ahead.
Yes.
So, you were too?
Go ahead.
Do not contact them yourself.
Do not respond if they contact you.
They may try to scare you and they may try
to make a deal.
But this is the only deal.
Once the packages arrive, it will make
them an offer.
You're going to meet them once to make the
return yourself.
Do I have to?
Go ahead.
By then you will have all the leverage you
need.
And you'll be there.
Go ahead.
You will never meet us.
We are not bodyguards.
We are intermediaries.
We will broker a deal to return the
original documents and retain one safety
copy to make sure Cyberosventus sticks to
that deal.
Follow our instructions and you will be
protected.
But if you don't, you will put yourself in
danger and people will walk away.
I understand.
Go ahead.
Your old thought will be compromised.
Put it in a pan of salt water.
Use this one now.
Your caller has hung up.
Thank you for using a trusted realist
service.
Have a wonderful night.
Hey.
Yeah, I got a camera in position,
but...
I don't got nothing.
What about you?
How's Michigan treating you?
Got some better than bon-bon-bon homo.
Yeah.
There you go.
Yeah, it's real pretty.
Hi.
Hi.
I want to pick up a package from my friend
Archie.
You got box 521.
I have the tracking number, but I forgot
the key.
Will you be able just to grab it for me?
Well, I'm afraid, man,
the regulations do not
permit me to open
mailboxes for our clients.
Oh, really?
Sorry.
That's my fault.
I should have remembered the darn key.
Yeah.
Just... My dog is really sick.
Oh.
Yeah.
My head is a mess.
I'm sorry.
Well, that's a shame, man.
Yeah.
She's just a tired old girl.
Won't be too much longer now.
And I suppose you'd be able to just check
for me to see if the package has arrived.
Oh.
Okay.
Thank you.
You're here.
I'm sorry, man.
There's nothing there.
Well, it was some priority mail.
I should have already arrived.
I'm sorry.
Okay.
Have a good day.
Did your friend recently move by any
chance?
It was if they did, there
would be a forwarding
address on file and
it would be routed.
Well, that could explain the delay.
Yeah, it's mail forwarding.
Oh my gosh, that makes total sense.
He has moved here, actually.
Can you tell me something?
Well, the new destination show up on that
old tracking number?
No, there's a thing.
Tracking does not always carry over to
forwarding because of different services.
This is a message for Mr. Franklin.
We've been given a copy of a food safety
assessment of Cybo-Semendus' fertile
crescent wheat program
by Sarah Grant, a former
employee of yours who
has engaged her services.
It is 311 pages long and contains two
appendices in exchange for your
unconditional agreement to leave her
alone.
Our client would like to return this
document and agree never to mention it again.
Our client would like to return this
document and agree never to mention it again.
All communication with her must come
through us.
Take a message on 646-167-1573.
We will contact you with further
instructions.
Call back numbers to Sam.
It goes right back to the messaging
service.
You can't be too sure if it's HQ.
Try that.
The client protection is super tight.
Hello?
A person is calling from the Interstate
Relay Service.
You seem to relay call before.
You've been harassing our client,
Sarah Grant.
Please stop.
She violated her NDA, and she's holding on
to stolen research, and no can do.
Go ahead.
And now she's given it to us.
In case you're doubting this, page 9
starts with the enhancement of claridane
dieterpenies in fertile crescent sample 7.
I understand.
Go ahead.
We left word into the office of President
Sygo Cementis's CEO, Mr. Franklin.
We await his response.
Mr. Franklin passed on your message, and
he's authorized us to speak on his back.
Go ahead.
Who am I speaking to?
Ben, what is your position?
Well, my name is Steve Dawson.
Don't look it up.
It's not real.
And my team is tasked with returning the
documents.
Go ahead.
We wish to return them as soon as
possible, but in order to protect our
client, we are ready to send them
simultaneously to all the appropriate law
enforcement agencies, as well as every
major media outlet.
If you don't fully cooperate with
our requests, we'll let go of Mr.
Cooper and go ahead.
There will be no more
threats to our client,
no more surveillance,
including phone times.
Once we are satisfied with our client's
security, we'll return the original.
We will keep a stable, secure copy as
insurance for our client's protection.
How do we know the trust you give me?
Go ahead.
You will be our client, too.
You will be required to pay a fee.
We work for both parties to ensure that
the job is done with no loose ends.
Is it all our interest for it to run
smoothly?
That's very kind of you.
How much is the fee?
Go ahead.
Half a million dollars, cash.
That's a lot of money.
How do we trust your client's intentions?
Go ahead.
You are tapping our clients' first calls.
You know as much about their intentions as
we do.
We'll have to run it internally.
Go ahead.
We have until the end of the day tomorrow
to confirm your acceptance.
Do you understand?
Go ahead.
I'll get a new product in the spot and
stay away from our client.
Your caller has hung up.
Thank you for using Tri-State Relay
Service.
Have a wonderful day.
Credit a debit.
Check.
The surveillance van is gone.
Thank you.
Good.
Now you will need to be patient and stay
calm.
Once they fulfill their
end-of-the-deal, we'll arrange
to return the document before
the SEC deadline next week.
After that, you will need to relocate for
a while.
Ideally somewhere in
this country you can reach
by public transportation
so they can track you.
It is for your protection and your
sympathy for it.
I understand.
Go ahead.
Hey, um...
Is it okay if I... spend
some time outside?
Go ahead.
They should leave you alone.
Do you see anything that worries you?
Let us know.
How?
You're not that easy to get a hold of.
Go ahead.
After 6 p.m.
each day, leave a message of the company
back.
Just one word.
If something is wrong, say whether.
If anything is okay, say all right.
All right, it's two words, not one.
Go ahead.
Ever listen to them?
First album.
First track on the beach side.
Your caller has hung up.
Don't you think?
I see what meetings, but I don't think
I've ever seen you share.
How long are you sober?
19 months.
What step are you on?
I'm kicking around in step 4.
10 minutes, actually.
More legendary?
Any of the sentiments?
Yeah, I got a lot of those.
You working?
What kind of gig?
Mostly delivery.
Kind of parsnips, food.
Stuff like that.
Something on-site, too.
We go?
You don't want to tell me?
Dangerous?
Or addicts?
We do addicty things.
Just got to be aware
of them and pull back so
we don't replace one
addiction with a new one.
But what if the thing you're doing is
important and somebody has to do it?
Well, you have to decide how, aren't you?
Listen, however you manage it, you
just don't need to do it all on your own.
And the fact is, you can't.
They've agreed to your terms.
How do we transfer the money?
What do you want us to do next?
Send unmarked cash to PO Box.
Skate 9-7, Landers, California,
9-2-2, 8-5, overnight priority.
When it has been safely received,
we will issue further instructions.
Any delay.
And the document goes public.
Your caller has hung up.
Thank you for using the trust they really
service and have a wonderful day.
Where is it?
How long does the battery last?
Four or five days.
It should be enough.
Box it up.
Right here, it's activated.
That's cool.
Here we are.
The package has been sent.
Fracking under 4-7, 3-9, 2-7, 7-2-1.
Violent deadlines are less than a week
away.
So both of you are calling.
All right.
All right.
Where is the man working?
Yeah, ID.
Can I just sort it?
Yeah, it's fine.
Can't harder, huh?
Really?
That's cool, man.
Oh, price.
Oh, mother fucker.
Okay.
What?
Come on, man, you always bullshit me,
bro.
Yo, you know me.
What is it?
What?
My poor...
It's incredible.
They're just made of ice and keep doing
the same thing.
How many people died because of their
lives?
Life is out the corner.
I miss my music back to them.
I wonder what I'll drop myself.
Oh, right.
All is right with the world.
Joe, right.
I wonder what your life is like.
I wonder if you've been with them this far
in it.
It's about 4.82.
Yes?
This is the Tri-State railway service.
Have you ever received a railway call
before?
Yes, check.
Sorry, I didn't call.
Is something wrong?
Go ahead.
Just wanted to see if you were okay.
Yeah, I'm fine.
What about you?
Are you okay?
Go ahead.
Fine.
I listened to your message.
Interesting musical choice.
Oh, God.
You listened to the end.
Sorry.
Go ahead.
How did you know there was an original to
that song?
Google?
I use modern technology.
Feel like you don't.
So, what else do you listen to?
Aside from the voodoo.
Go ahead.
Who said I listened to them?
Oh, come on.
How did I listen to them?
I didn't listen to anything you could
recommend.
Go ahead.
I recommend we keep communication to a
level.
Wow.
You stuck around and listened to all of
that last message.
So, are you?
Go ahead.
Am I one?
Lonely.
Strange talking to someone
who knows so much
about you and you
know so little about them.
May I ask you a question?
Go ahead.
Depends what it is.
Has it ever gone wrong?
Go ahead.
Sometimes people lie.
Sometimes we have to walk away.
Instructions let everybody listen.
I'll try hard to pay myself.
Good night.
There's a new number running.
Hi.
Hi.
I have a mailbox in California.
That's where I live.
I'm going away to Europe for a month on
business.
Could I please have all my mail forwarded
to my cousin?
Yes, let's go.
She's moving right now.
You got it.
She doesn't need an ID to pick anything
up.
Let's do that.
So, are we coming from Landers,
California?
And the name of the person it's going to?
I'm Sarah, of an age.
Grant.
It's Dawson.
Brought to the USPS in the morning.
The U.S.C.
is filing it three days.
So expecting handover arrangements is
possible.
But we have a problem.
You told Mr. Franklin you had a 311-page
document.
We'll report it to 327 pages with a screen
page through the pancakes.
We need all the pages returned.
I just wanted to pay half a million
dollars for it.
I didn't talk about it, fucker.
I did.
Go ahead.
What about Appendix C?
It's missing.
There was no info there.
It was all just small print.
Nothing pertaining to the research.
Go ahead.
Why would you leave it out?
I just didn't think.
You still have it.
Yes, I do.
Go ahead.
I need it.
I will send it to you right before I go
ahead.
It takes too long.
You were warned.
You must follow the steps so we can
protect you.
Please don't leave me to do this by
myself.
Hello.
There's a new stamp on the corner of 7th
and West 46th.
Put the envelope and pages of the bottom
copy of the Washington Post, which is the
second part of the left from the lazy
area.
Thank you, set the post.
Where is it going?
Going.
Come on.
I left it in the post bottom copy of that
file, like you said.
The Washington Post.
It's just a second from the left.
What's that?
You're so sorry.
I have already had it so fast.
I'll come back for it.
It'll be gone by then.
Did you know you were being followed?
No, I thought they saw it back.
I'm so sorry.
It's my fault.
I'm sorry.
That's him right there.
Security guard.
No shit.
Let's just get out of here.
I'm sitting there.
I'm watching the guy in the fucking suit.
And this bastard is right there.
Yeah?
You want to bring him?
Yeah.
A little person is calling through the
Tri-State Relay Service.
Have you received the call from us before?
Yes, we have.
Just give me one second, please.
Hey, yo.
Hey, hey.
Yeah, I'm here.
Go ahead.
We've got 40 copies, including
the missing appendix, ready
to go to spread across the
mainstream and alternative media.
Do you agree to stop following and
harassing her?
She was in Times Square.
The document that contains sensitive
material.
You wouldn't know that if you weren't
following her.
Do you want us to know public?
We apologize when I
saw you making a mistake,
and you will do exactly
as you say from now on.
Go ahead.
The handover will be between our client
and your CEO, Franklin.
In person and in a public place of our
choice at 7 p.m.
on Thursday.
Thanks, but Franklin's out of town.
We'll get it back.
Ask him to return.
Oh, yeah, I thought about that.
30 days a day before the SEC filing,
it's kind of close.
Go ahead.
You'd better make it work.
Your caller has hung up.
Thank you for using the dry state.
That's it.
We've got our guy.
Is that him?
We'll get him to our friends in a few
minutes, innit?
For facial recognition?
I don't think it's good enough.
That's the best frame of his face we have.
Your call is now connected.
Are you all right?
Go ahead.
Are you there?
Hello?
We have it.
We're setting the exchange for Thursday.
Until then, you call each day once and
leave a message.
You'll say, all right, or you'll say
whether.
Nothing more.
You'll follow instructions because this
time we will walk away.
You understand?
Yes.
Go ahead.
Your caller has hung up.
Thank you for using the dry state relay
service.
Have a wonderful night.
Hey.
I'd like a little bit of table,
please.
We tracked it as far as Bell.
There's a national distribution center
there.
We lost it.
Hold this thing and we'll come back.
There were no backup batteries.
Where is he going to go from there?
It could literally be anywhere.
All right.
All right.
It cost them.
I've been checking you a bit where your
account in the Barter-Ockelhoge trial.
Helping young people suddenly dying.
How many more are there?
You all knew the trial current etiquette.
And second, for safety's sake,
before we knew enough.
Do you know how widely it was distributed?
Millions of people were benefitted,
but optimal were denied.
I had a chance to do something at
Bell-Ockelhoge.
I've got blood on my hands.
It's not your fault.
You helped me.
Thank you.
I won't bother you again.
I'm John and I'm an alcohol.
I'm not supposed to drink at all.
I grew up in New York.
Post-unwetting.
Crazy.
I figured drinking would help me to fit
in.
Just connect with people more.
And it did for a little.
It just taught me to get my ass kicked all
the time.
But when that happened, it wouldn't get
out.
It helped me go numb.
So, it would help.
And then I got a job on Wall Street.
It was intense.
Drinking was part of fitting in.
And it was the way of dealing with the
pressure with these crazy targets.
There was no way of leaving them.
Now that I've been in the rules,
screwing people over.
As much as I wanted to be a part of
something, I didn't want to be a part of that.
So, I started gathering information.
And I took it to my superior.
I need to go look at it.
And nothing really happened.
Investigation was one sided.
Don't go over what it did.
People had known a long time.
Turned their backs on me.
Started spreading rumors about me.
I don't know.
Questioning my sanity.
My integrity.
And it started to become a parent.
Apparently.
And regressive.
And drunk.
By the time it came to me with this
severance package, it was tied to an ADA.
I was relieved.
So, I took the money.
Kept my mouth shut.
Put it all down my throat.
I still carry a lot of guilt and shame
about it.
At times.
And I keep thinking I'll encounter it.
That was weak.
I was.
I got a call from someone last night.
And it just sounded so...
Lost.
And broken.
I don't think he's going to make it.
Honestly.
I don't want to end up like that.
The original copy of the report is waiting
under your name.
The general delivery of the main post of
this company.
A table is booked for Adam Franklin at Guy
and Rosie Restaurant at 7 p.m.
tonight.
Take a taxi there and make it wait.
Bring the report in the yellow mark code
When he arrives, hand in the documents and
take a picture of the two of you.
Get back in the taxi and head over to the
station.
We'll receive further instructions then.
Do you understand?
Yes, I do.
Go ahead.
Your caller has hung up.
Thank you for using the tri-standardly
service.
Have a wonderful day.
Mr. Franklin must attend in person.
And our client will need to take a
photograph with him.
She will return the original copy of the
report.
And we will keep a single safety copy to
ensure everyone's sixth of the deal.
Your caller has hung up.
Thank you for using the tri-standardly
service.
Have a wonderful day.
Can I get you another club soda?
No, okay.
Thank you.
I know I should have called.
You don't have to worry.
I'm okay.
They know who you are.
They said facial recognition got a
positive idea in Times Square.
They told me you were named James King.
You're in big danger, James.
This is my fault.
Gotta get out of here and stay away.
I know I screwed up in Times Square.
So, I'm gonna do this handover myself.
There's a concert in Shubert's Piano Tree.
I was at Town Hall.
Probably, like you said, it should be...
They told me not to tell you, but I need
it to.
And to thank you for looking after me.
Hi, James.
What are you saying?
Uh, we get a ticket.
Here.
Key change.
Oh, what is that?
It's a hearing-assisted device for the
deaf.
Alright, let me get a check.
It's me.
It's me.
It's traffic.
I'm coming to get you.
Come on.
Excuse me.
Excuse me.
Put this on.
Put this on.
Take this off.
Did you give it to him?
No.
You're important.
You gave it to him.
Good.
I tried to go public as to feel real.
It's the only leverage you've got,
alright?
You take the train at the Gibson.
We're gonna pay you cash.
We're gonna get there.
You go to the Grand Hotel.
You look on your own name.
You misspell it.
Alright?
Yeah, go back to your family.
No, you can't.
How did they get in touch with you?
They don't need to come.
They hurt you?
No.
Hey, dude.
When you get there and you call me,
and you know you're okay.
I'm gonna call you right though.
We're gonna contact you with a PO Box
number.
Alright?
You're gonna have to remember.
Will you just tell me?
I'm gonna protect you while you're
traveling.
You go to the main post office.
Ask for an envelope.
It's got a PO Box key in it.
And the rest of the instructions.
Yo!
Let's go!
Let's go!
Red Central, let's go!
You're okay.
You got the papers.
Here.
Now what?
It's cash only.
Here's a card.
You're gonna trace your ID.
You got a new one.
And if you get the post office,
we'll be there.
Stop.
Please stop.
Why'd you do this for me?
It's my job.
Pat?
You know exactly and not at all what I
imagined, James.
What's your name?
What is your name?
Josh.
Bushra.
I always wanted to have a Bushra.
Maybe.
Hey.
You're gonna be alright.
Come with me, I'm sure.
I can.
Goodbye.
What was your plan?
That I was bluffing.
I'll make sure you never find her.
She's gone.
And so am I.
I know.
Thanks for using the traffic relay
service.
Have a warm-up.
Sarah, you can't use this phone.
Alright, you gotta get rid of it right
away.
Glad to finally hear, boys.
You know, we get a very bored speaker.
This fucking relay service.
There's a little phone that's very useful.
Thank you.
I'll get it for you.
Don't tell me what they say.
They were tracking me.
You gotta stay calm.
Listen to me, listen to me.
You gotta stay calm.
You gotta do what we say now.
Understand?
Let him go.
The documents are going out all of them.
You hear me?
The idea of journalism is actually caring.
It's cute liberal fast.
Most of the media work with us anyway so
they won't publish in a hurry.
And that leaves the conspiracy theorists
and social media.
Good luck with that.
Hey, guess what?
Law enforcement is going to be leaving a
lot more closely.
So don't fucking push me, alright?
The envelopes are labeled and sealed.
Alright?
We're going to come with you to wherever
you keep the document.
And you're going to give us all the copies
of the report including your safety copy.
And then we'll let it go on hard.
And you too, if you believe so.
You've got to be out your fucking mind,
alright?
I have other clients to consider.
You can give a choice.
Yeah, I'll do it.
I'll take you to all the records.
That's good.
Zero, you okay?
I'm fine.
Where's the documents?
If you let it go, I'm telling you.
If you want to documents me, it's both
alive.
So why don't you let it go and talk?
I don't think you need her.
Hey!
Hey!
Where are the documents?
10-001 South Second Street, Newark.
Newark.
10-001 South Second Street.
Do you like shoe?
What do you want?
You want your copy of the optimum pharmacy
to go to play.
Yeah, this is about the offer.
Okay, hey, hey.
Okay, I'm looking.
Okay, come on.
Come on.
You
got to untie my hands so I can reach you.
Legs, too.
I've got two more alarms to turn off when
I get in.
Yeah, I'll fuck you, son.
Are you stabbing me in the motherfucking
leg?
I'll put this on your fucking wrist,
trust me.
Come on, do it.
Ah!
In a sec, I just got to concentrate,
okay?
Yeah, do it.
Come on.
What is happening?
I'm gonna fucking shoot him.
What the fuck are you doing?
Hey!
Hey!
Get over here!
Stay where you are!
Hold it!
Give me your code and I'll let you go.
I'll do it.
Do it.
What is this?
I got documents to show.
Optimal pharmaceuticals products have
adverse effects and they know about it.
They try to cover up the evidence.
I got the internal memos, I got the
emails, I got everything.
Why do you have it?
This is what I do.
I help people who find things like this.
Who see things, maybe they should know.
Maybe you should have looked the other
way, but they can't.
Now I gotta turn it over to somebody I
trust.
I don't remember the bigger matter,
though.
It's my decision, Huffman.
I look at you and you seem almost normal.
Arrogant, but normal.
I thought I'd get to see what evil really
looked like, but...
You just look like everyone else.
Is that it?
Can I go now?
This is every good night for premier.
My representative will keep one safety
copy.
If you're done following me out of here,
anything happens to me.
That copy goes to law enforcement.
I know how this works.
I need to take a picture.
I'll see you here.
Bye-bye.
Two old buddies.
I'll be freeing it.
Good luck with your new life.
Mr. Huffman.
Thanks for waiting.
Okay.
Okay, where am I?
Look here.
You showed us tonight.
I handed over the documents and took a
train to the CFP as instructed.
I hope the safety copy is enough to keep
optimal on my back.
And yours.
I sent the other half of the money to the
address you provided.
I wasn't expecting to go much myself.
I thought I would go for your fee.
Thank you.
Okay, then, please, mayor.
Hi, I'm Julie.
Mr. Malak will see you now.
Thank you.
I was in a team developing
a new strain resistant
to insectivation through
precision breeding.
It's like genetic modification.
Homie is using natural processes.
So it's not subject to the same type of
regulation.
Okay.
We were making progress, but we were
noticing possible human food chain issues.
And then I was seen on a email chain where
one of the attachments was a food safety
assessment showing significant side
effects.
When I raised this issue with
senior management, they told
me that I'd seen the data
out of context and not to worry.
But then soon I was transferred to another
department here in Manhattan.
Office work, data assessment.
And then a few months later, I was
dismissed on a minor time card violation.
And now I'm being subjected to escalating
harassment.
Sorry to hear that, Ms. Graham.
Why do you think this has happened?
I felt... well, I felt I had
a duty to take a copy
of the food safety
assessment to ask evidence.
You stole documents from your former
employer?
Is that stealing?
May I ask why you decided to discuss this
issue with our firm?
I follow the recommendation.
May I ask for whom?
A friend.
Why don't we appropriate stay here?
Ms. Graham, I commend you on your
intentions here.
But we're no longer looking for this type
of business.
There are a number of highly regarded
whistleblower support organizations,
much better prepared.
No, it's not whistleblowing support.
I need it's the opposite.
I just want to give everything back.
Just to keep my mouth shut and get on with
my life.
Please.
Please.
Is there anyone who can help me?
Well, as I said, there are official
channels, but...
Look, there are unofficial ones.
We've referred people to in the past.
Let's take this number and maybe they can
help you.
Who is he?
I've never met him, or her, or they.
That's kind of the point.
It's a messaging service.
They call you back.
Or they don't.
Just be honest about your situation.
You are all set.
The lobby's attended 24 hours a day.
Call if you need anything.
Thanks for getting all this in such short
notice.
That's what we do.
Enjoy your stay.
Hey, I'm Wash and I'm an alcoholic.
I've
been sober nine years, nine months.
And it's been even more of a struggle
recently because there's...
Why I drank in the first place and then
there's me doing what I do.
So I'm proud of serving on the force.
And I stay on the up and up.
Pretty much.
But what I see on the daily amongst my
fellow officers, I don't know.
What's your message?
A hotwood here.
All right.
My name is Sarah Grant.
I'm, I was a scientist looking at a
biotech company.
Cyprus and Ennis.
I'm in possession of materials which are
evidence of my lawful cover-up.
I was going to go public but I changed my
mind.
I don't know how this works.
But I'll do whatever is necessary.
My number is 693-824-4011.
We are delighted to be the recipients of
the Lansing Award.
This research has the potential to
revolutionize grain yields, particularly
in developing countries where they really
need it.
Lowering the lines on pesticides.
And with this grant, we really hope to
make a difference.
Hello, this is the tri-state relay
service.
Yes, hello.
A person is calling through the relay
service.
Have you received a relay call before?
I don't think so.
The person who's called you is likely to
be deaf or hard of hearing.
The caller will type their conversation
and I'll read it to you.
When it's your turn to speak, I'll type
everything you say to them.
Will you speak directly
to the caller and say
go ahead when you're
ready for a response?
No calls are recorded and everything you
say is confidential.
One moment for your call to begin.
You are Sarah.
Your social security number is 915-00449.
You are employed by Cybo-Sementis Research
Institute, XID-990890590, based in St.
Louis.
Is that correct?
Yes.
If finished, please respond with the
order.
Oh, I'm sorry.
I'm sorry.
I'm sorry.
Go ahead.
I was in a research group developing a new
string of insect-resistant wheat.
The food safety report came back with
disturbing data about side effects.
I told my bosses, next thing I knew,
I'd been reassigned.
And later dismissed.
Production of the new string has gone
ahead, but these have been suppressed.
But I was able to get a copy of that food
safety report out of the building.
You mentioned side effects.
And in a small number of cases there were
extreme allergies, saniful access,
and in long-return cases, diverticulitis,
cancer well above face rate.
They predict massive worldwide sales.
Thousands of people will be affected.
But without the information
I have, it will be impossible
to trace it back to the
food people have eaten.
Would you say this document contains clear
evidence of malfeasance?
Comparance to the fraudulent version of
their report.
Yes.
Go ahead.
Do they offer you a cash settlement in
exchange for your silence?
Initially, yes, but I wasn't interested.
I wanted to do the right thing.
But then the intimidation started.
Last night they sent my car on fire.
Go ahead.
Are the police involved?
They told the car away as evidence,
but I haven't involved them.
Go ahead.
Don't.
Was this at 200 Chamber Street in Tribeca?
Yes.
But I have moved now because of the
threats.
What?
Buy a prepaid cell phone, keep it switched
off until you get to a public place,
then leave a message with your new number,
your address, and any further details.
There's a fan parked out front.
I think they'll watch for me.
Go ahead.
They may be tapping this call.
In the future, only use your new phone.
Your call ahead hung up.
Thank you for using the Tri-State Relate
service.
Have a wonderful night.
Go ahead.
339 East Avenue, Yonkers, New York.
My chest.
Please come up.
The Americans with Disabilities Act of
1990, Section 225 prohibits relay
operators from disclosing the content of
any really conversation and from keeping
records of the content of any such
conversation beyond the duration of the call.
Okay.
I don't want to go and get a warrant.
Where'd you say your phone again?
Treasury Department.
That's appropriation.
Well, you know, even with a warrant,
there'd be nothing for you to search.
We don't keep records of our logs.
Where they're coming from or where they're
going to.
This is Sarah Grant.
My new number is 718-493-7071.
1500 Washington Street, Department 2Q
The company is on the verge of being
acquired based on an estimated value of
$3.2 billion, which will be confirmed in
an SEC filing next week.
The information I had went public.
It would break that deal.
They're highly incentivized to prevent
that, which is why it's scared.
A person is calling you through the relay
service.
Have you received a relay call before?
Yes.
Go ahead.
After reviewing your situation,
here's the deal.
We can help you return the documents
whilst maintaining leverage to protect you.
For a wire of $50,000 to deposit
upfront, this will be returned
to you from money we recovered
during the negotiation process.
Can you afford this?
Yes.
Go ahead.
Over the next few days,
you will receive some strange
requests designed to show
us what we're up against.
Please follow all instructions no matter
how hard.
In the future, we will use a passcode
before each conversation.
You will say credit or debit.
You will say check.
Understood.
Understood.
Who is it?
I could join this man.
This is a tri-state relay service.
Have you received a relay call before?
Yes.
Go ahead.
Credit or debit.
Check.
Go ahead.
Tomorrow morning, take the 10-05 flight
from Newark to Pittsburgh.
Then the 11-52 Atlanta.
Do not take this phone with you.
Take the packages
with our deposit and the
record and the landmark
phone you were sent.
But do not try it on until you are at your
gate in Pittsburgh.
Your callers hung up.
I forgot something.
Can I call back?
The callers placed a no-call back request
on this line.
Sorry, ma'am.
Thank you.
Hello.
My phone is back.
Hope I gave you 17.
Let me guess.
Do you have a bathroom?
Yeah, I do.
It happens all the time.
This is Sarah Grant.
I think I'm from here.
Thank you so much.
Hello.
Credit or... Have a check.
Go ahead.
Where are you now?
At the gate.
I'm about to board.
I don't know much I do.
Go ahead.
Do you have the packages?
Yes.
Go ahead.
Good.
Ignore everything else.
And await instructions.
Passengers, Sarah Grant.
Please come to the lost property counter.
Go to the post office and concourse D.
We'll mail both packages.
And we'll call you back.
Sir, may I help you with something?
Passengers, Sarah Grant.
Please
report to page 829.
There's a flying error on it, yeah.
I think you're calling their names.
She didn't show up.
I
Want to do another lap.
If they're following her, they got to be
in here somewhere.
They're not following her.
What do you mean?
We're made.
Where were you?
I can't believe this because of the post
office.
And this one is in Norman, Oklahoma.
Anything to look with gradual hazardous?
No.
So your track number is right here.
And if you want to fill out a service
order.
Okay.
Thanks.
Thank you.
So, track number 8405970223.
Okay.
It's welcome to learn.
Because the airport security thing is
smart.
It's tight.
My name is Louis Pittsburgh.
Since 2001, the TSA
has closed over 113 airport
branches of the United
States post office.
The only one remaining inside security is
Pittsburgh.
I'm interested in two people books
addresses.
But it's helping keep us running.
Looks like it's back to working.
Yo, yo.
You know what I think?
I think I like this one.
Ooh.
It's smarter than we thought.
Hey, do you have the tracking numbers for
you?
There you go.
Let's see where we're going.
Check.
Go ahead.
Good job.
Please confirm that you sent all the
documents and have no further copies.
I confirm.
Were they there today at the airport?
Go ahead.
Yes.
So, you were too?
Go ahead.
Do not contact them yourself.
Do not respond if they contact you.
They may try to scare you and they may try
to make a deal.
But this is the only deal.
Once the packages arrive, it will make
them an offer.
You're going to meet them once to make the
return yourself.
Do I have to?
Go ahead.
By then you will have all the leverage you
need.
And you'll be there.
Go ahead.
You will never meet us.
We are not bodyguards.
We are intermediaries.
We will broker a deal to return the
original documents and retain one safety
copy to make sure Cyberosventus sticks to
that deal.
Follow our instructions and you will be
protected.
But if you don't, you will put yourself in
danger and people will walk away.
I understand.
Go ahead.
Your old thought will be compromised.
Put it in a pan of salt water.
Use this one now.
Your caller has hung up.
Thank you for using a trusted realist
service.
Have a wonderful night.
Hey.
Yeah, I got a camera in position,
but...
I don't got nothing.
What about you?
How's Michigan treating you?
Got some better than bon-bon-bon homo.
Yeah.
There you go.
Yeah, it's real pretty.
Hi.
Hi.
I want to pick up a package from my friend
Archie.
You got box 521.
I have the tracking number, but I forgot
the key.
Will you be able just to grab it for me?
Well, I'm afraid, man,
the regulations do not
permit me to open
mailboxes for our clients.
Oh, really?
Sorry.
That's my fault.
I should have remembered the darn key.
Yeah.
Just... My dog is really sick.
Oh.
Yeah.
My head is a mess.
I'm sorry.
Well, that's a shame, man.
Yeah.
She's just a tired old girl.
Won't be too much longer now.
And I suppose you'd be able to just check
for me to see if the package has arrived.
Oh.
Okay.
Thank you.
You're here.
I'm sorry, man.
There's nothing there.
Well, it was some priority mail.
I should have already arrived.
I'm sorry.
Okay.
Have a good day.
Did your friend recently move by any
chance?
It was if they did, there
would be a forwarding
address on file and
it would be routed.
Well, that could explain the delay.
Yeah, it's mail forwarding.
Oh my gosh, that makes total sense.
He has moved here, actually.
Can you tell me something?
Well, the new destination show up on that
old tracking number?
No, there's a thing.
Tracking does not always carry over to
forwarding because of different services.
This is a message for Mr. Franklin.
We've been given a copy of a food safety
assessment of Cybo-Semendus' fertile
crescent wheat program
by Sarah Grant, a former
employee of yours who
has engaged her services.
It is 311 pages long and contains two
appendices in exchange for your
unconditional agreement to leave her
alone.
Our client would like to return this
document and agree never to mention it again.
Our client would like to return this
document and agree never to mention it again.
All communication with her must come
through us.
Take a message on 646-167-1573.
We will contact you with further
instructions.
Call back numbers to Sam.
It goes right back to the messaging
service.
You can't be too sure if it's HQ.
Try that.
The client protection is super tight.
Hello?
A person is calling from the Interstate
Relay Service.
You seem to relay call before.
You've been harassing our client,
Sarah Grant.
Please stop.
She violated her NDA, and she's holding on
to stolen research, and no can do.
Go ahead.
And now she's given it to us.
In case you're doubting this, page 9
starts with the enhancement of claridane
dieterpenies in fertile crescent sample 7.
I understand.
Go ahead.
We left word into the office of President
Sygo Cementis's CEO, Mr. Franklin.
We await his response.
Mr. Franklin passed on your message, and
he's authorized us to speak on his back.
Go ahead.
Who am I speaking to?
Ben, what is your position?
Well, my name is Steve Dawson.
Don't look it up.
It's not real.
And my team is tasked with returning the
documents.
Go ahead.
We wish to return them as soon as
possible, but in order to protect our
client, we are ready to send them
simultaneously to all the appropriate law
enforcement agencies, as well as every
major media outlet.
If you don't fully cooperate with
our requests, we'll let go of Mr.
Cooper and go ahead.
There will be no more
threats to our client,
no more surveillance,
including phone times.
Once we are satisfied with our client's
security, we'll return the original.
We will keep a stable, secure copy as
insurance for our client's protection.
How do we know the trust you give me?
Go ahead.
You will be our client, too.
You will be required to pay a fee.
We work for both parties to ensure that
the job is done with no loose ends.
Is it all our interest for it to run
smoothly?
That's very kind of you.
How much is the fee?
Go ahead.
Half a million dollars, cash.
That's a lot of money.
How do we trust your client's intentions?
Go ahead.
You are tapping our clients' first calls.
You know as much about their intentions as
we do.
We'll have to run it internally.
Go ahead.
We have until the end of the day tomorrow
to confirm your acceptance.
Do you understand?
Go ahead.
I'll get a new product in the spot and
stay away from our client.
Your caller has hung up.
Thank you for using Tri-State Relay
Service.
Have a wonderful day.
Credit a debit.
Check.
The surveillance van is gone.
Thank you.
Good.
Now you will need to be patient and stay
calm.
Once they fulfill their
end-of-the-deal, we'll arrange
to return the document before
the SEC deadline next week.
After that, you will need to relocate for
a while.
Ideally somewhere in
this country you can reach
by public transportation
so they can track you.
It is for your protection and your
sympathy for it.
I understand.
Go ahead.
Hey, um...
Is it okay if I... spend
some time outside?
Go ahead.
They should leave you alone.
Do you see anything that worries you?
Let us know.
How?
You're not that easy to get a hold of.
Go ahead.
After 6 p.m.
each day, leave a message of the company
back.
Just one word.
If something is wrong, say whether.
If anything is okay, say all right.
All right, it's two words, not one.
Go ahead.
Ever listen to them?
First album.
First track on the beach side.
Your caller has hung up.
Don't you think?
I see what meetings, but I don't think
I've ever seen you share.
How long are you sober?
19 months.
What step are you on?
I'm kicking around in step 4.
10 minutes, actually.
More legendary?
Any of the sentiments?
Yeah, I got a lot of those.
You working?
What kind of gig?
Mostly delivery.
Kind of parsnips, food.
Stuff like that.
Something on-site, too.
We go?
You don't want to tell me?
Dangerous?
Or addicts?
We do addicty things.
Just got to be aware
of them and pull back so
we don't replace one
addiction with a new one.
But what if the thing you're doing is
important and somebody has to do it?
Well, you have to decide how, aren't you?
Listen, however you manage it, you
just don't need to do it all on your own.
And the fact is, you can't.
They've agreed to your terms.
How do we transfer the money?
What do you want us to do next?
Send unmarked cash to PO Box.
Skate 9-7, Landers, California,
9-2-2, 8-5, overnight priority.
When it has been safely received,
we will issue further instructions.
Any delay.
And the document goes public.
Your caller has hung up.
Thank you for using the trust they really
service and have a wonderful day.
Where is it?
How long does the battery last?
Four or five days.
It should be enough.
Box it up.
Right here, it's activated.
That's cool.
Here we are.
The package has been sent.
Fracking under 4-7, 3-9, 2-7, 7-2-1.
Violent deadlines are less than a week
away.
So both of you are calling.
All right.
All right.
Where is the man working?
Yeah, ID.
Can I just sort it?
Yeah, it's fine.
Can't harder, huh?
Really?
That's cool, man.
Oh, price.
Oh, mother fucker.
Okay.
What?
Come on, man, you always bullshit me,
bro.
Yo, you know me.
What is it?
What?
My poor...
It's incredible.
They're just made of ice and keep doing
the same thing.
How many people died because of their
lives?
Life is out the corner.
I miss my music back to them.
I wonder what I'll drop myself.
Oh, right.
All is right with the world.
Joe, right.
I wonder what your life is like.
I wonder if you've been with them this far
in it.
It's about 4.82.
Yes?
This is the Tri-State railway service.
Have you ever received a railway call
before?
Yes, check.
Sorry, I didn't call.
Is something wrong?
Go ahead.
Just wanted to see if you were okay.
Yeah, I'm fine.
What about you?
Are you okay?
Go ahead.
Fine.
I listened to your message.
Interesting musical choice.
Oh, God.
You listened to the end.
Sorry.
Go ahead.
How did you know there was an original to
that song?
Google?
I use modern technology.
Feel like you don't.
So, what else do you listen to?
Aside from the voodoo.
Go ahead.
Who said I listened to them?
Oh, come on.
How did I listen to them?
I didn't listen to anything you could
recommend.
Go ahead.
I recommend we keep communication to a
level.
Wow.
You stuck around and listened to all of
that last message.
So, are you?
Go ahead.
Am I one?
Lonely.
Strange talking to someone
who knows so much
about you and you
know so little about them.
May I ask you a question?
Go ahead.
Depends what it is.
Has it ever gone wrong?
Go ahead.
Sometimes people lie.
Sometimes we have to walk away.
Instructions let everybody listen.
I'll try hard to pay myself.
Good night.
There's a new number running.
Hi.
Hi.
I have a mailbox in California.
That's where I live.
I'm going away to Europe for a month on
business.
Could I please have all my mail forwarded
to my cousin?
Yes, let's go.
She's moving right now.
You got it.
She doesn't need an ID to pick anything
up.
Let's do that.
So, are we coming from Landers,
California?
And the name of the person it's going to?
I'm Sarah, of an age.
Grant.
It's Dawson.
Brought to the USPS in the morning.
The U.S.C.
is filing it three days.
So expecting handover arrangements is
possible.
But we have a problem.
You told Mr. Franklin you had a 311-page
document.
We'll report it to 327 pages with a screen
page through the pancakes.
We need all the pages returned.
I just wanted to pay half a million
dollars for it.
I didn't talk about it, fucker.
I did.
Go ahead.
What about Appendix C?
It's missing.
There was no info there.
It was all just small print.
Nothing pertaining to the research.
Go ahead.
Why would you leave it out?
I just didn't think.
You still have it.
Yes, I do.
Go ahead.
I need it.
I will send it to you right before I go
ahead.
It takes too long.
You were warned.
You must follow the steps so we can
protect you.
Please don't leave me to do this by
myself.
Hello.
There's a new stamp on the corner of 7th
and West 46th.
Put the envelope and pages of the bottom
copy of the Washington Post, which is the
second part of the left from the lazy
area.
Thank you, set the post.
Where is it going?
Going.
Come on.
I left it in the post bottom copy of that
file, like you said.
The Washington Post.
It's just a second from the left.
What's that?
You're so sorry.
I have already had it so fast.
I'll come back for it.
It'll be gone by then.
Did you know you were being followed?
No, I thought they saw it back.
I'm so sorry.
It's my fault.
I'm sorry.
That's him right there.
Security guard.
No shit.
Let's just get out of here.
I'm sitting there.
I'm watching the guy in the fucking suit.
And this bastard is right there.
Yeah?
You want to bring him?
Yeah.
A little person is calling through the
Tri-State Relay Service.
Have you received the call from us before?
Yes, we have.
Just give me one second, please.
Hey, yo.
Hey, hey.
Yeah, I'm here.
Go ahead.
We've got 40 copies, including
the missing appendix, ready
to go to spread across the
mainstream and alternative media.
Do you agree to stop following and
harassing her?
She was in Times Square.
The document that contains sensitive
material.
You wouldn't know that if you weren't
following her.
Do you want us to know public?
We apologize when I
saw you making a mistake,
and you will do exactly
as you say from now on.
Go ahead.
The handover will be between our client
and your CEO, Franklin.
In person and in a public place of our
choice at 7 p.m.
on Thursday.
Thanks, but Franklin's out of town.
We'll get it back.
Ask him to return.
Oh, yeah, I thought about that.
30 days a day before the SEC filing,
it's kind of close.
Go ahead.
You'd better make it work.
Your caller has hung up.
Thank you for using the dry state.
That's it.
We've got our guy.
Is that him?
We'll get him to our friends in a few
minutes, innit?
For facial recognition?
I don't think it's good enough.
That's the best frame of his face we have.
Your call is now connected.
Are you all right?
Go ahead.
Are you there?
Hello?
We have it.
We're setting the exchange for Thursday.
Until then, you call each day once and
leave a message.
You'll say, all right, or you'll say
whether.
Nothing more.
You'll follow instructions because this
time we will walk away.
You understand?
Yes.
Go ahead.
Your caller has hung up.
Thank you for using the dry state relay
service.
Have a wonderful night.
Hey.
I'd like a little bit of table,
please.
We tracked it as far as Bell.
There's a national distribution center
there.
We lost it.
Hold this thing and we'll come back.
There were no backup batteries.
Where is he going to go from there?
It could literally be anywhere.
All right.
All right.
It cost them.
I've been checking you a bit where your
account in the Barter-Ockelhoge trial.
Helping young people suddenly dying.
How many more are there?
You all knew the trial current etiquette.
And second, for safety's sake,
before we knew enough.
Do you know how widely it was distributed?
Millions of people were benefitted,
but optimal were denied.
I had a chance to do something at
Bell-Ockelhoge.
I've got blood on my hands.
It's not your fault.
You helped me.
Thank you.
I won't bother you again.
I'm John and I'm an alcohol.
I'm not supposed to drink at all.
I grew up in New York.
Post-unwetting.
Crazy.
I figured drinking would help me to fit
in.
Just connect with people more.
And it did for a little.
It just taught me to get my ass kicked all
the time.
But when that happened, it wouldn't get
out.
It helped me go numb.
So, it would help.
And then I got a job on Wall Street.
It was intense.
Drinking was part of fitting in.
And it was the way of dealing with the
pressure with these crazy targets.
There was no way of leaving them.
Now that I've been in the rules,
screwing people over.
As much as I wanted to be a part of
something, I didn't want to be a part of that.
So, I started gathering information.
And I took it to my superior.
I need to go look at it.
And nothing really happened.
Investigation was one sided.
Don't go over what it did.
People had known a long time.
Turned their backs on me.
Started spreading rumors about me.
I don't know.
Questioning my sanity.
My integrity.
And it started to become a parent.
Apparently.
And regressive.
And drunk.
By the time it came to me with this
severance package, it was tied to an ADA.
I was relieved.
So, I took the money.
Kept my mouth shut.
Put it all down my throat.
I still carry a lot of guilt and shame
about it.
At times.
And I keep thinking I'll encounter it.
That was weak.
I was.
I got a call from someone last night.
And it just sounded so...
Lost.
And broken.
I don't think he's going to make it.
Honestly.
I don't want to end up like that.
The original copy of the report is waiting
under your name.
The general delivery of the main post of
this company.
A table is booked for Adam Franklin at Guy
and Rosie Restaurant at 7 p.m.
tonight.
Take a taxi there and make it wait.
Bring the report in the yellow mark code
When he arrives, hand in the documents and
take a picture of the two of you.
Get back in the taxi and head over to the
station.
We'll receive further instructions then.
Do you understand?
Yes, I do.
Go ahead.
Your caller has hung up.
Thank you for using the tri-standardly
service.
Have a wonderful day.
Mr. Franklin must attend in person.
And our client will need to take a
photograph with him.
She will return the original copy of the
report.
And we will keep a single safety copy to
ensure everyone's sixth of the deal.
Your caller has hung up.
Thank you for using the tri-standardly
service.
Have a wonderful day.
Can I get you another club soda?
No, okay.
Thank you.
I know I should have called.
You don't have to worry.
I'm okay.
They know who you are.
They said facial recognition got a
positive idea in Times Square.
They told me you were named James King.
You're in big danger, James.
This is my fault.
Gotta get out of here and stay away.
I know I screwed up in Times Square.
So, I'm gonna do this handover myself.
There's a concert in Shubert's Piano Tree.
I was at Town Hall.
Probably, like you said, it should be...
They told me not to tell you, but I need
it to.
And to thank you for looking after me.
Hi, James.
What are you saying?
Uh, we get a ticket.
Here.
Key change.
Oh, what is that?
It's a hearing-assisted device for the
deaf.
Alright, let me get a check.
It's me.
It's me.
It's traffic.
I'm coming to get you.
Come on.
Excuse me.
Excuse me.
Put this on.
Put this on.
Take this off.
Did you give it to him?
No.
You're important.
You gave it to him.
Good.
I tried to go public as to feel real.
It's the only leverage you've got,
alright?
You take the train at the Gibson.
We're gonna pay you cash.
We're gonna get there.
You go to the Grand Hotel.
You look on your own name.
You misspell it.
Alright?
Yeah, go back to your family.
No, you can't.
How did they get in touch with you?
They don't need to come.
They hurt you?
No.
Hey, dude.
When you get there and you call me,
and you know you're okay.
I'm gonna call you right though.
We're gonna contact you with a PO Box
number.
Alright?
You're gonna have to remember.
Will you just tell me?
I'm gonna protect you while you're
traveling.
You go to the main post office.
Ask for an envelope.
It's got a PO Box key in it.
And the rest of the instructions.
Yo!
Let's go!
Let's go!
Red Central, let's go!
You're okay.
You got the papers.
Here.
Now what?
It's cash only.
Here's a card.
You're gonna trace your ID.
You got a new one.
And if you get the post office,
we'll be there.
Stop.
Please stop.
Why'd you do this for me?
It's my job.
Pat?
You know exactly and not at all what I
imagined, James.
What's your name?
What is your name?
Josh.
Bushra.
I always wanted to have a Bushra.
Maybe.
Hey.
You're gonna be alright.
Come with me, I'm sure.
I can.
Goodbye.
What was your plan?
That I was bluffing.
I'll make sure you never find her.
She's gone.
And so am I.
I know.
Thanks for using the traffic relay
service.
Have a warm-up.
Sarah, you can't use this phone.
Alright, you gotta get rid of it right
away.
Glad to finally hear, boys.
You know, we get a very bored speaker.
This fucking relay service.
There's a little phone that's very useful.
Thank you.
I'll get it for you.
Don't tell me what they say.
They were tracking me.
You gotta stay calm.
Listen to me, listen to me.
You gotta stay calm.
You gotta do what we say now.
Understand?
Let him go.
The documents are going out all of them.
You hear me?
The idea of journalism is actually caring.
It's cute liberal fast.
Most of the media work with us anyway so
they won't publish in a hurry.
And that leaves the conspiracy theorists
and social media.
Good luck with that.
Hey, guess what?
Law enforcement is going to be leaving a
lot more closely.
So don't fucking push me, alright?
The envelopes are labeled and sealed.
Alright?
We're going to come with you to wherever
you keep the document.
And you're going to give us all the copies
of the report including your safety copy.
And then we'll let it go on hard.
And you too, if you believe so.
You've got to be out your fucking mind,
alright?
I have other clients to consider.
You can give a choice.
Yeah, I'll do it.
I'll take you to all the records.
That's good.
Zero, you okay?
I'm fine.
Where's the documents?
If you let it go, I'm telling you.
If you want to documents me, it's both
alive.
So why don't you let it go and talk?
I don't think you need her.
Hey!
Hey!
Where are the documents?
10-001 South Second Street, Newark.
Newark.
10-001 South Second Street.
Do you like shoe?
What do you want?
You want your copy of the optimum pharmacy
to go to play.
Yeah, this is about the offer.
Okay, hey, hey.
Okay, I'm looking.
Okay, come on.
Come on.
You
got to untie my hands so I can reach you.
Legs, too.
I've got two more alarms to turn off when
I get in.
Yeah, I'll fuck you, son.
Are you stabbing me in the motherfucking
leg?
I'll put this on your fucking wrist,
trust me.
Come on, do it.
Ah!
In a sec, I just got to concentrate,
okay?
Yeah, do it.
Come on.
What is happening?
I'm gonna fucking shoot him.
What the fuck are you doing?
Hey!
Hey!
Get over here!
Stay where you are!
Hold it!
Give me your code and I'll let you go.
I'll do it.
Do it.
What is this?
I got documents to show.
Optimal pharmaceuticals products have
adverse effects and they know about it.
They try to cover up the evidence.
I got the internal memos, I got the
emails, I got everything.
Why do you have it?
This is what I do.
I help people who find things like this.
Who see things, maybe they should know.
Maybe you should have looked the other
way, but they can't.
Now I gotta turn it over to somebody I
trust.
