Everyone on
this plane is about to die,

including me.

I'm Franklin Fox.
Some know me as Remedy.

I write a blog about
achieving optimal health.

That guy in the seat across
from me is Sig Thorenson,

who wouldn't be
in this predicament

if he had not caused
the death of thousands

by flooding the
pharmaceutical market

with a drug he knew
was highly addictive

and devastatingly lethal.

They say that life
flashes before your eyes

when you have a
near-death experience,

but I only saw
my last three months.

Let me take you back
to where that began.

I booked a gig as a ticket
taker at Sci-Trinity Arena

in the hopes I might snag
an interview for my blog

with health and tech guru
Anton Burrell,

who was on the brink
of discovering a means

to optimal health,

which required no pills
or any conventional medication.

I was behind schedule,

and I soon learned
that trying to cheat time

came with a heavy cost.

All you do
is scan the Tri-Band.

Admit only green.

The new Tri-Band
Doc Remote, optimizing...

You're late.

Sorry.

- Swipe your badge.
- Tri-Band...

Did I mention
that I only took this job

to meet Anton Burrell?

I researched him,

but I hadn't researched
this minimum-wage gig.

Simpler and more productive.

Experience optimum health.

Thanks.
Uh-huh.

First day.

Uniform.

Your top button.

Welcome to Sci-Trinity.

- Oh.
- Begin your journey

towards better health
for a better world.

As I was saying,
admit only green.

Anton Burrell

welcomes you to
Sci-Trinity Arena.

Thank you.

Walk through the door

to encounter the pathway
to optimum health.

Um, sorry.

Sorry, ma'am.

This employee didn't
scan you properly.

My apologies.

Learn your freaking job,
dick-wad.

We're helping...

I was on
a mission to meet Burrell

and I didn't wanna get
sidetracked, but you know,

sometimes life comes
at you in weird ways.

Next time, scan the
bracelets, not the babes.

Well, Louie, you shouldn't call
women you work with babes.

I'd hate to make another
report to your boss.

That was amazing.

He thinks I'd fuck him
to keep this shit job.

Like, I bet he's still staring.

Oof. Totally is.

Yep, and you wanna know why?
Why?

Because I am a babe.

Um, it's a joke.

Uh, no, it's not.

You're a babe.

Hey, I'm Franklin.

Jala.
Jala, nice to meet you.

Please find your seats.

Hey, would you, uh, wanna, like,
get food with me sometime?

Go to dinner or something?

OK, how's now?

Now? Uh, I just...

Oh, I see.
Our first date

and you already got
something better to do.

No, no, I was just,

I was kind of planning
on seeing the presentation.

Oh, do you have a secret
invitation hidden somewhere?

I don't see a Tri-Band.

No. I, uh, I can't afford it.

I've been saving up
to take you to dinner, so.

OK, a boy
who sees the future,

Burrell fanboy.

More like I'm into tech
that I can't afford.

How about tomorrow night?
No, tonight.

Coogan's at seven.

Wait, here, let me, let me
get your number just in case.

In the event
of an emergency

during tonight's performance

the alarms will sound and
you'll be led from your seats.

Wait, that's not--
My number? No.

But I did set your
alarm for 6:30.

It should give you plenty
of time to do whatever

sneaky shit you're up to.

I wasn't sure
where this would go,

but I really wanted
to find out.

But right now,
I needed to get to Andy,

my key to meeting Burrell.

Andy?

Andy?
Asshole!

Scared the shit out of me.

Maybe you should
be on the toilet.

What took you so long?
This thing's about to start.

I'm sorry, I, uh...

I think I may have just
met my future wife.

Dude, there are three emotions
that can kill a man:

love, greed, and revenge.

Court them at your peril.

Hmm?
Oh.

You couldn't have gotten this
to me yesterday?

Save me the day labor gig?

Like your broke ass
doesn't need money?

Besides, these all-access
employee bands

just got here this morning.

Swiped yours from my boss.

Not gonna miss it?

Subbed his out
for a Tri-Band Two.

He'll never know the difference.

Anyway, I hacked that one.

Uploaded your DNA
from a beer bottle.

Not easy.

The security on these
things is a real bitch.

But it'll work, right?

Be careful!

Wait, wait, wait, wait.
Oh.

Maybe, maybe it's...

Yeah, there we go. Go on.
Okay.

Please
take your seats.

Mr. Burrell has requested
no flash photography.

Who... and why?

Uh, Mr. Burrell,
I'm, I'm Franklin Fox.

I'd love to interview you.

I have, I have a blog
that took--

Who... and why?

Not yours, is it?

Sir, I--
Showtime.

You stay put, enjoy the show.

Hmm?

Oh. Mustn't distract
from the product.

Ladies
and gentlemen, Anton Burrell.

Normally I'm introduced
with a big fuss,

lights, music, some
announcer shouting my name.

Today I said,
"It's enough of all that."

You know me.

We know each other because
we have taken this journey

together, arm in arm,
or should I say

wrist and bracelet?

Our mission is one.

And we share a core belief
that to create a better world,

we must...

Create better health!

Create better health.

Mental health, physical
health, spiritual health.

When this trinity is in discord,
we experience illness.

When it's in harmony,

we experience optimum health.

How many of you here,
since integrating

a Tri-Band into your life,

have gained better
physical health? Hm?

How many feel more relaxed
and at the same time,

more alive than ever?

How many feel a new
loving connection

to the world around you?

Our technology has
monitored your physiology,

decoded your DNA
to devise a health plan

unique to you.

Then,

because remembering
it all can be a chore,

it reminded you when
and how to exercise,

what and when to eat.

But what if you didn't
have to be reminded?

What if you just naturally
enjoyed doing all the things

that are best for your health?

Friends...

may I introduce Tri-Band Five.

Wear this and you'll not only

want to get up each
morning and exercise,

you will do it without
thinking and enjoy it.

You won't need those
pills for diabetes,

high blood pressure, food
addiction, drug addiction.

All lose their power with
the Tri-Band Five on your arm.

The mere thought that flossing

will leave you feeling
warm and fuzzy.

What's up?

Did you see the new taser?

No.
Good.

Now how is this all possible?

Good question.

We have developed a
neurotechnology that allows you

to be your best self
without even trying.

You're still you,
just the best you.

Sci-Trinity's controlling you!

Piece of shit.

Killer machines!

Killer machines!

Sorry, I, I knocked
this off the stand.

Thank you.

Sir.

Oh, and, uh, Franklin,
that interview you wanted,

it'll happen.

Meanwhile, I'd get someone
to look at that hand.

And you came down,
you came through a back door.

Yeah.
OK.

Well, I'm gonna have to
hold onto this for a while.

You weren't supposed to be here,

but it's a good thing
you were, all right?

Oh shit.

You OK?

I'm gonna have to
hold onto this, OK?

You weren't supposed
to be here, but I,

I think it's a good
thing you were.

All right?
Yeah.

That was so good.
Yeah, it was fantastic.

Cheers!

Hey. Still waiting?

Yeah.
Let me know

if you need anything, OK?

Yeah.
Oh, cool ring.

That was so good.
Yeah, it was fantastic.

This is crazy.

Let's try this again.

OK, you don't work
when you're white.

Cheers!

Happy birthday.

Hey. Are you still waiting?

Yeah.

OK, well, just let me know
if you need anything, OK?

OK.

There you go.

OK.

How long?

So we're
talking about how much time?

When I touch the jewel...

That's unreal.

I bet you
were here at seven.

Oh.
On time, waits for me,

and... you're not about
to propose, are you?

Oh, uh, yeah, no.

Uh...

You, uh, look incredible.

Well, thank you.

When a girl goes out
to dinner with a hero.

Saw you on my feed
saving Burrell. Superhero.

Oh, no, I, I just, uh,
I just reacted.

Does that hurt?

Oh, no, it's a...

This is a flesh wound.

From a bullet?

Yeah, but it barely,
barely grazed me, so.

You wanna get outta here?

You're not hungry?

No, I'm, I'm, I'm famished,

but I only suggest this place

when I'm not sure about a guy.

It's safe, but the food sucks.

And now you're,
you're sure about me?

No, but I'm pretty scrappy

and you've only got one good
hand, so I like my chances.

OK.

You paint like, like
paintings and things?

Yeah, yeah.

What, you thought taking
tickets at a sports arena

was my dream?
No judgment.

I mean, it's, it's
not yours, right?

No, no, no.
I just, I, I did the job

so I could, uh, you know,
sneak into the presentation.

Oh, OK.
But I, I write.

Oh, a writer?

Like, like novels.

Like articles for
newspapers or websites.

What do you write about?

It's about how
technology affects health.

Ah, so you're like
an investigative journalist?

Yeah.
Cool.

Yeah, actually, I had,
I had three pieces that I,

I got in the Huffington Post

and Burrell agreed to give me
an interview tonight, so...

I mean, he knows
smart when he sees it.

Well, probably more
stubborn than smart, but...

Tenacity's an admirable trait.

Have you ever had something
so crazy happen to you

you can barely believe
that it happened?

Franklin, we just met.

Unless that's not,
that's not what you meant.

That's exactly what I meant.

Yeah.

Oh.

This is it.

It's a total mess
in here. I'm sorry.

No, it's fine.
I live with my aunt

and she steals outta my purse

and everything she owns
smells like cigarettes.

So this is, I like this.

Nice.
Yeah.

Yeah, I still need to
take more corporate jobs.

Screw the blog.

Make some more money.

Classic problem.

Passion versus finance.

And you know what
they say about money?

Absolutely corrupts.

Isn't it power
absolutely corrupts?

Money, power.

What's the real difference?
Okay.

Anyway, I mean, passion
trumps all, yeah?

Yeah.

Um, um, oh, Franklin?

Yeah.

Do you have a girlfriend?

No, why?

Whose purses are those?

Uh, I can explain,
but maybe later.

It's not...
Yeah, no, it's fine.

It's cool, it's cool, it's cool.
Um...

Maybe we're moving
too fast, anyway.

OK.
Um...

I'm gonna just...

Um, Franklin is, is
that your girlfriend?

Oh.

Uh...

Um...

I'm gonna just...
OK.

Wait.

Can you kiss my toes?

Your toes?

You think that's weird, right?

I'm so sorry,
you don't have to.

No, no, no.

Oh wow, Franklin.

You
think this was planned?

Maybe, Burrell
knows how to market.

Now, who is this kid
who saved Burrell?

He's a writer.

Nothing major.
End-of-the-year reports

and feel-good PR articles
for small companies.

Maybe he should write
something for us.

Calvert, follow this kid,
see if he works for Burrell.

If we can prove
this attack was a con,

that'll change
the whole narrative.

All over him, Mr. Thorenson.

Renee, dig.

Perfect health wristband,
my ass.

There's gotta be
some chink in the armor.

It's snake oil,
it can't be real.

And if it is, we can't
let it get to market.

How are we gonna make money
if nobody gets sick?

Oh.
Yes, sir.

Go deep.

Fuck Burrell.

Good morning.

Hey.

Look, I know it's after 12,
but you want breakfast?

You are like a mind reader.

Just bacon. People who
don't like bacon, like bacon.

No, no, no, no, no, no.

I'm, I'm talking
about last night.

It's like you were in my head.

I think you ruined
me for anyone.

Huh.
Hm.

Hang on one sec.

Oh shit.

Ah.

Wait, wait.

Wait, wait!

Oh, come on.

My keys.

Jala!

Jala!

You know how long it's gonna
take me to make enough money

to get that car out?

I mean, they keep
raising the price

like every single day
it's there too.

Well, you still have that
interview with Burrell.

That should count
for something, right?

Yeah, I mean,
if he even does it,

and it could be weeks
before I sell it,

and then more weeks
before whoever I sell it to

actually sends a check, so...

You need to just have
a little faith, Franklin.

Paragon
Casino Resort.

You're a good guy,
something will happen.

Maybe something already has.

Hey, uh, I got, I gotta go
do something, actually.

You trying to get rid of me?
What, no, no. You can stay.

No, I'm kidding. I'm kidding.
You rattle too easy.

I gotta go walk my aunt's dog.

OK.
If not, she'll shit herself.

My aunt, not the dog.

All right.
Bye.

I'll see you later.

I won, I won!
Good shit.

Yup, you got it.

Hey,
how's it going?

Hey.
Ready to play?

Uh, yeah.
Place your bets.

And bets are closed.

Good luck to ya.
Here you are, sir.

Thank you, lucky number seven.

All right.

No more bets.

15 black.

15.

Good luck to ya.

Here you are, sir.
Uh, 15.

Alright.

No more bets.

15 black.

OK.

21.

Yes!
21, red.

How much did that pay out?
That pays $3,500.

$3,500, OK.

Yes!

I think 13, I'll go 13.

Two Miller Lites.

Yes!
29 black.

Good job, man.

All right, thank
you, thank you, thank you.

All large?

Sorry?
Hundreds,

or do you need smaller?

Oh, uh, yeah, hundreds are fine.

OK.

Bye now.

Thank you!

Thank you.
You are so welcome.

Here you go.

Thank you very much.

Thank you.
You're welcome.

Hey.

Hey!

Get back here, you!

Stop that guy!

You're with Dick.

Hey, buddy.

You're running a scam.

Nobody gets percentages
like that in roulette.

Oh, I won that money,
so fuck you.

Don't scuff your shoes, Timmy.

Hey, fuck off, Calvert.
This is none of your business.

Doesn't exactly look
official though, does it?

Out here in the
parking lot like this.

Looks like you trying to peel
something off for yourself.

And as a regular here, I am
shocked by what I'm seeing.

I don't wanna see your
ass back here again.

All right.

You know what's good
after you get your ass beat?

So what is it?

Magnets?

Tight with the croupier?

Nope.

Come on now.

Just between us.

What's the gag?

Nobody picks that many spins
without an edge.

I gotta tell you,
it's just luck, that's it.

Luck.

I'll say. Those boys were
about to take your scalp.

So maybe you are lucky.

There's someone who
would like to meet you.

Who?

Know Sig Thorenson?

Renson Pharmaceuticals
Sig Thorenson? Yeah.

Why does he wanna meet me?

Yeah, the company's
been dealing with

some negative press about--
Zonastin?

It's fueling an opioid epidemic
that's killing thousands?

Well...

he's seen
some of the PR work

you've done
for other companies,

believes you might have
the right sensibility

to put a different
spin on things.

Yeah.

You can tell Sig Thorenson
to go fuck himself.

Thanks for the burger.

Wait.

In case you decide you want
to tell him that yourself.

Hey.
Hey, what's up?

How are you?
I'm good.

Whose apartment is this?

Oh, this is my apartment.

Did you rob a bank?

I just,
I went to the casino,

I got super lucky.
Can I have some of that luck?

Yeah, you can have
some of that luck.

No, I just, I had like
a, a bit of an edge.

An edge
like counting cards?

Yeah, something like that.

There's something
I wanna show you.

My phone's dead,
can I use your laptop?

Yeah, of course.

Um...

Franklin, did, uh, who is this?

It's OK to have a past,
but is it in the past though?

Yeah.

Yeah, she's in the past.
Uh...

That's my, my twin
sister, Nataline.

You saw her purses
the other day in the room.

What purses? I didn't see any.

Right, uh...

No, I think her stuff

just kind of haunts me
since she passed.

I got a bunch of her stuff
in the house, so...

Mmm.

Yeah.

Uh, I'm... I'm sorry.

When did she... Unless you
don't wanna talk about it,

I understand.
No, no, yeah.

She, uh, she died
four years ago this month.

She, uh, she actually
OD'd on Zonastin.

It's like a pain pill they
gave her after a car crash.

And, uh, she just couldn't,
couldn't stop.

You know, once she started.

I, I spent every penny I had
to try to help her.

It was rehab and bail and rehab.
Uh...

Never really could,
could help enough.

That pill killed my sister,
but--

Sorry.
That's why I write,

try to make sure that never
happens to anyone again.

Here, let me show you.
Wow.

Hmm.

Rebel Health by Remedy.

Yeah, I mostly, uh,
promote, like,

alternatives to pain
management and stuff,

but I go hardcore
after the people

that make those kinds of pills
and push 'em out into the world.

So for when I'm doing my normal
work, I, I use my real name.

But then when I'm doing that
stuff, those corporate fucks

who, who get way too much money
for what they do to people.

They're scary, they're big
and they got a bunch of money.

So I use an alias, Remedy,
and I hide my, my IP and stuff,

so they can't find me.

You're an activist.

An activ--

You know, the other day

I actually thought that
I was actively caught.

This, this guy came up
to me and he told me

he works for Sig Thorenson,

who's this massive pill pimp
who makes Zonastin,

who I've also written
a bunch of vile,

but very true things about him.

And he came up to me and I
was like, "Oh shit, I'm busted."

But yeah, it was scary.

Hey, don't, don't say
anything to anybody

about like the alias.

Listen, no, no, your
secret is safe with me.

OK, I, I think it's very heroic.

- Heroic?
- Yes.

I can tell you
what's not heroic

is how my apartment
was looking before,

so I decided I'd use
my non-writing talents

to make a little bit more money.

And I was like, "There's
this really special girl.

And I want to get her something
special," so I got you this.

Franklin, that's, that's for me?

Mm-hmm.

Yeah.

Wow.

Jala, I, I haven't had anybody

like, in my life in a while
that I really care about.

And I want you to know
if it's important to you,

it's important to me.
It's just a little gift.

You, thank you, thank you.

Mmm.

Franklin, did you
get a new toy or...

You wanna see it?

Yeah.
Yeah?

I don't know if it's,
it might be too much.

Franklin.
I love it.

I hate parking it
out here, you know.

Franklin, put this in
a parking lot immediately.

Yeah.
Yeah.

Do you see where we are?

I know.
Yeah.

Hello?

Is now a good time?

Excuse me?

The interview
you wanted.

Burrell interview.

Uh, like right now, right now?

Uh,
if you're available?

Yeah, yeah, I'm,
I'm available.

Good.

I've provided transportation.

Transportation?

See you soon, Mr. Fox.

Thank you.

Here, have fun.

I'll see you later.

All right,
well, good luck.

Mr. Fox.

My hero.

Welcome.

Ingram will show you
to the boardroom.

Oh, Mr. Burrell, thank you
so much for taking the time.

No, sir, thank you for
your quick thinking.

Oh, I, uh, just,
just reacted, sir.

I'm not, not a fighter.

I have a gift.

Oh.

You might wanna come closer.

Right.

Thank you, Ingram.

Here, for you.

Are these the new Fives?

No, but they're
the best you can get.

Unless you're me.
For you and your lady friend.

I do my homework.

I know that you were
a graduate of MIT.

I know that you started
your own biotech company

with your sister,
whom you lost to...

well, let's say
unfortunate circumstances.

Questions?

- Sorry?
- Your interview.

Oh.
Questions.

Unless you read minds.
No, no, I do not.

Uh... I was thinking we could,
we could start big. Um...

So do, do you
believe that one day

your Tri-Band technology
will be

a viable alternative
to medication,

pills, syrups, inhalers?

Alternative would be nice.

Complete replacement
would be best.

A technology that makes
medication an unnecessary...

barbaric relic.

But not all medical needs

stem from poor
healthcare habits.

What about accidents?
Car crash, ski injury, falls.

What besides medication
can manage pain?

You're asking
the wrong questions.

It's not what do we need
to manage pain from accidents.

It's why have accidents
in the first place?

Let's step outside a minute,

I'm feeling a little
claustrophobic.

OK? Come on.

In the future,

your Tri-Bands are gonna
eliminate accidents?

Not Tri-Bands.

What I'm working on
will make Tri-Bands

as antiquated
as a rotary telephone.

The platform has limitations.

It's reactive.

In order to eliminate accidents,

we're gonna need
a proactive solution.

And you have one?

Off the record?

Sure.

Years ago,
I stumbled on a substance

that contained
quantum particles.

Like quantum crystals.
Mm-hmm.

I thought those were
just recently discovered.

Oh, well, that's
what the world thinks.

I discovered them decades ago

while working on laser
technology, but early sixties,

man of my complexion...

How long would it be before
the technology gets stolen

or I wound up dead?

So I just kept it secret
and kept experimenting.

But I do believe
that integrating AI

with this substance
will eliminate accidents.

No accidents,

no injuries,
no injuries, no pain.

No pain,
no need for medication.

That, that sounds incredible.

Well, forgive me
for sounding immodest,

but if I'm truthful,
incredible is what I do.

But you weren't being honest
with me completely before.

About?

About being a fighter.

Look, I sense that
you're a modest man.

Power and material things
don't hold much pull.

But I also detect
a desire for justice,

desire to make
the world a better place.

Don't let
the intellectual fear in here

keep you from pursuing
what's burning in here.

Jay, do you,

do you think that I should take
that meeting with Thorenson?

What, you go see an angel

and then you gonna go
meet with the devil?

I mean, didn't you say
that he killed your sister?

Yeah, but it's just,
just a meeting.

You know, maybe I can,
I don't know,

maybe I can get him to slip up
and say something he shouldn't.

Blow it out to the world,
I don't know.

Could be a little
bit of justice.

OK.

Despite the effort,

I couldn't get Burrell's
words out of my head.

I did have a desire
for justice,

a fire burning inside of me.

This was an opportunity to
confront the man responsible

for my sister's death.

And I wanted to take that fire

and use it to light
Sig Thorenson the fuck up.

All I had to do was
push past my fear.

All I had to do
was take action.

Change of heart.

Good man.

Follow me.

All right.

Mr. Thorenson,
meet Franklin Fox.

Franklin Fox.

Sig Thorenson.

That beautiful woman
there is Renee Renzler.

Brilliant mind, keeps
my business afloat,

which is why
I don't have a problem

that she won't give me
the time of day outside of work.

Isn't that right, Calvert?

But as you can see,
I do all right.

Mmm. Give me a minute,
sweetheart, OK?

Oh, ignore the
naysayers, Franklin,

'cause money can buy you
happiness, and a lot of it.

You want, you wanna
meet her girlfriends?

Oh no, I'm good. I don't mix
business and pleasure.

Oh, dull, but I like it.

No, Renson Pharmaceuticals

could use a persuasive
voice like yours

to help us regain
some goodwill.

'Cause fact is,
Zonastin has helped a,

a lot of people
dealing with pain.

Like it helped my sister?
Hmm?

Took away her pain.
Oh?

Took it away permanently
'cause it killed her.

You knew about the dangers
of that drug and you put it out.

So my truth is her death
is on your fucking hands.

Well, this is awkward.

Anything else before you
become a broken memory?

Yeah.

This.

Renson Pharmaceuticals
could use a--

A persuasive of voice like mine
to help this company regain

some goodwill,
get your story out there.

I mean, the truth is,
Zonastin, it's,

it's helped so many people
with so much pain.

You took the words
right out of my mouth.

Oh.

Calvert says you have a gift.

Right, you have a, a lucky
streak like nobody's business.

Not so much luck as it is,
um, it's more of a skill.

You know, I can,
I can see things,

but my, my abilities
are rather limited.

I can only see things that
are just about to happen.

So you can see
what I'm thinking.

Yeah.

You're thinking that
I'm full of shit.

I like that. I like that.

I'll tell you what,
let's make a wager. Hmm?

You prove Calvert right

and I'll pay you, I don't know,
what do you get for an article?

About a thousand.

All right,
you prove Calvert right

and for every article you write

that tells the world
Sig Thorenson

knew nothing about the
addictive effects of Zonastin

and elevates the Renson
Pharmaceutical name,

I will multiply that by 100.

100,000?

A small price
for good publicity.

Fail and I fire Calvert
for telling a ridiculous lie

or being too stupid
to see through your scam.

And you owe me five articles
at half your going rate.

What do you say?

I say you name the game.

Ah, no, no, no, no game, no.

You simply tell me
what will happen...

after I whistle.

You're gonna whistle?
And you predict the outcome.

Come on, 100K if you
can do it right now.

Let's have some fun.

Sure. Uh...

OK, uh, you're gonna whistle

and then your dog's

gonna come running from
outside and jump in your lap.

Ah.

Mmm.

Calvert, you're fired,

and Franklin,
you owe me five articles.

No, no, no, no game, no.

You simply tell me
what will happen...

after I whistle.

So you're gonna whistle.

And you predict the outcome.

Yep.

So the woman that was just here
behind you is gonna return.

She's gonna trip along her way.

Come around, kiss your neck

and put her hands
on your shoulders.

Maybe you get a massage.

What the...

It's not bad, huh?

How'd you...?

Anton Burrell's behind
this magic act somehow,

I can feel it.

Sig, are you sure about this?

Him working here?

Put him in the corporate office.

No. Friends close,
enemies closer.

It's trite, but it's...
it's true.

So he wants you to write an
article to make him look good?

Yeah, 100K a pop.

But, Franklin,
that's like selling out

all the people
who read your blog

and your sister.

You're just gonna
let him buy you?

Jala, come on, it's
not about the money.

You don't think I
wanted to kill him

when I was standing
in front of him?

But if I go and work for him,
you realize I can get like,

deep in underground
and get some actual proof

that he knew about
Zonastin the entire time

and mess up his entire world.

While writing glowing
reviews about the man. Mm...

Yeah.

No, I know.

I'll find a way around that.

In the meantime,

I'll take his money

and I'll use it for something
worthwhile, like us.

Us?
Yeah. Us.

We can move outta this
shithole, get an insane house.

I can fill it with paints
and easels and, and...

Franklin, this
sounds like some...

backward-ass marriage proposal.
I don't...

Hey.
Hm?

You know I'm crazy.

Yeah.
You know I'm crazy about you.

This was my grandma's,
she gave it to my sister.

I want to marry you.
I don't wanna waste any time.

I want to be crazy together.
Let's just do it.

Frank-Franklin, um...

Ah, it's too crazy.

No, no, no.
It's not too crazy.

I, you know what you want
and I, I, I want it too.

You want that too?
Yes. Put the ring on.

Really?
Franklin, please!

Yeah.
That's it, that's it.

So what are you thinking?

Well,
I was thinking instead

of doing a bunch
of little articles,

why don't we do one
big event-style piece

where we completely rebrand
Renson Pharmaceuticals

and yourself?

What, like that
circus Burrell does?

Well, I was thinking
something more in line of

Renson Pharmaceuticals'
connection

to the community and health.

Time and cost.

Yeah.

Time and cost.
It's not a fast process.

I would say... six months
to get it done right. Um...

You need a lot of time to
really dig into the company and,

you know, products and the
pipeline, that sort of thing.

As far as cost, I can create
a budget for you.

There's a shareholders'
meeting in August.

I know that.

So there's a shareholders'
meeting in August.

You know, I was gonna
pay you per article,

but what the hell, Renee,
put him on payroll.

Let's amortize
his articles over a year.

Are you sure?
Absolutely.

You good with that?
Yes, yeah.

Great.

So now you work for me.

Big money, big results.

Got it.

You'll be in here.

Sig is in the next wing
and I'm just down the hall.

OK. Thank you.

OK.

Hi.

Hi.

And you are...?

First-day present.

Oh.

Um...

Is he...?

Oh...

Goddamn Boy Scout.

We're gonna have to
rethink our collateral.

We gotta figure out
how he does that trick.

And it better not
have anything to do

with that ridiculous Tri-Band.

Maybe we need to see
if he can do the trick

when he's not wearing it.

Pretty sure he didn't have it
when I first saw him.

Pretty sure? That's,
that's the best you can do,

Calvert, pretty sure?

I think it's time
for a little road trip.

Hmm?

Let him do the trick
in a place with a bunch of eyes.

OK, that's good.

Yeah, let's, let's do
that, let's do that.

And let's juice
him up a little bit

so that it's easier for
the kid to express himself.

Didn't you say he
has a girlfriend?

Just got engaged.

Great, invite her too.

Renee, have some girl talk.

See if you can get her
to spill a bean or two.

So let's go.
Go, go, go, go, go.

Let's get some collateral
on Franklin Fox.

Let's get some collateral.

- It's not?
- No.

But...

But mine does.

OK, well...

Designing, just before,
let's do the whole thing.

Yeah.
OK.

And then I have like this
cool little couch thing.

Welcome aboard.

You guys got our,
our luggage, right?

Jala, this is Mr. Thorenson,
Renee and Calvert.

Well, Franklin,

you didn't tell me your
lady friend was a model.

No, about a foot too short.

But thank you,
and for the invitation.

Oh, I like to relax
with my team now and then.

Have some fun.

Sit back and relax, we'll
be in Miami in no time.

Yeah.
All right.

Yeah, I'm gonna
have to ask you both

to leave your Tri-Bands on
the plane when we get to Miami.

It's a small boutique casino
owned by a buddy of mine

and he, he knows how much
I can't stand Anton Burrell.

If he saw my employees
wearing one of those,

I would never hear
the end of it.

Yeah. OK.

I can't wait to see how much
you steal from my buddy.

Oh, that's sweet.

Oh wow!

Seven.

Oh my God.

He did it again.

So cool.
Wow.

Nothing.

All your eyes in the sky
and you got nothing?

My team's been watching him

from the second he walked
through the door.

Whatever he's doing,
it's undetectable.

Yeah, but still,
you have nothing.

Sig, trust me,
if I had half a reason

to take those
chips back, I would.

Calvert, let's
make sure that Renee

pulls something valuable
from the girlfriend.

All right?

You got it.
OK.

So how long have you and,
uh, Calvert been together?

Together?

Our work with Sig is 24/7.

So yeah, we hook up,
just convenience.

OK.

Not like you with that ring.

You lovebirds moved quick, huh?

I mean, you know, when
you know, you know. Why wait?

I get it.
Yeah.

He's very smart and cute.

Yes. Yes, he is.

It's just so odd that
he was so down and out

before meeting Sig.

Yeah, I just think
he was burnt out.

You know, when people
keep going, they just,

they tend to burn out.

I don't think he's
in it for the money.

Oh, but he's so
good at making it.

How does he make it happen?

You must have some idea.

No, I guess he's
just really lucky.

Hey.

How'd it go?

I started with
like a big stack,

and I just got down to one.

You see, he loses
all his chips,

and he's like,
"Yeah, it's whatever."

Holy shit.

This is real?
Yes, it is.

Your boy Franklin
did it again.

He made us both a lot of money.

Yeah, Mr. Thorenson
bankrolled my play.

And that chip you're holding,
that belongs to you,

if Franklin will
let you keep it.

That's his cut for doing
whatever sorcery he does.

OK, come on, come on, come on.

Let's go celebrate.
OK.

Well, that was
impressive, Mr. Fox.

Tell me, how do you do it?

What's your, what's your secret?

No secret. Surprisingly,
he just has really good rhythm.

I think what Sig meant
was more, what's the secret?

How do you do it?

Inquiring minds
need to know.

Oh, well, I mean,

your boss is one of the
richest men in America.

So I, I'd like to know
what his secrets are.

Well, Franklin,
my secret is I'm a bastard.

But the secret to
success of my business

is that I know everything
there is to know

about my employees.

Sig Thorenson?

It's time to pay up.

No, no, no, no.

Anybody else
with this asshole?

The ring!

No, no, no, no, no, no.
Don't shoot!

Surprisingly, he has
really good rhythm.

I think what Sig meant
was more, what's the secret?

Inquiring minds
need to know.

Hey, Sport, did you
hear what he said?

Sig Thorenson?

Shit!

Sig, are you OK?

I'm all right, I'm all right.

I think he saved my life.

You OK?

Yeah.
OK, good.

Franklin, look.

They put your picture up.
Oh God.

It's like you some kind
of super sexy superhero.

"Franklin Fox saves
Sig Thorenson just months

after doing the same
for Anton Burrell."

You're famous. My man.

Oh my gosh.

You remember what
tomorrow night is, right?

My art exhibit.
You're gonna come, right?

Of course.
Because I don't know,

I don't think I can take
people judging my work

and me being by myself.

I'm gonna need
my superhero fiance

there for emotional support.

All right, I'll,
I'll come on one condition.

You gotta stop
calling me a superhero.

Well, excuse me

if you fly out to
a casino, win big,

stop a murder, fly back.

That's superhero-type shit.

Breaking news.
The man arrested

in last night's
assassination attempt...

What's wrong?
...of Sig Thorenson

has been identified as...
Babe?

I knew that I
recognized that guy.

Who, the shooter?
Yeah.

Two years ago, the
suspect's wife, Susan Miller,

was found dead inside

Renson Pharmaceuticals'
corporate office.

He was married
to this Renson exec

who hung herself in her office.

I tried to track him
down for an interview,

but there was no media
coverage or, or anything.

...of the company's
drug, Zonastin.

I'm going to bed,
you want to come?

...suicide
by the county coroner.

Uh, I'll be up in a minute.
OK.

...a murder in which
Sig Thorenson played a role.

- Don't leave me lonely.
- Last night Miller

attempted to take justice
into his own hands.

Investigate
Sig Thorenson!

Investigate Renee Renzler!
They're blackmailing everyone.

Franklin.
Sorry,

I didn't mean to startle you.

No, it's OK.

How's our hero doing?

Getting a little tired
of the hero thing.

You know, I have some real
work I need to get done.

How can I help?

Well, I was gonna
see if you had a file

on an old employee,
Susan Miller.

Why would you want that?

Her husband's the one
who tried to kill Sig.

She knew about Zonastin's
propensity for addiction,

didn't tell anybody,

and Thorenson still catches
some heat because of it.

She had a financial
stake in its success.

I guess money was more
important to her than lives.

That's why I'd like to learn
a little bit more about her.

See, I wanna know
as much as possible

while I'm trying to game plan

how to reframe
the whole company,

and having her employee file

might lend me some
helpful insight.

I'll see what I can find.

Thanks, Renee.

You know, if I can clear
out whatever dark cloud

is still left over
Mr. Thorenson and this company,

that's when I'll
call myself a hero.

I'm just saying, Mr. Thorenson,

he saved Burrell and then you.

I think he set it up.

Well, maybe that's because
he was doing your job, Calvert.

Sig, Franklin just asked
to see Susan Miller's file.

You see?

Yeah, maybe I do.

I mean, maybe it's
an innocent question.

Maybe I need to thank
Mr. Fox properly

for doing your job.

Franklin.
Yeah.

I had Renee pull this
from the safe.

Susan Miller, Renee said
you wanted to see it.

Oh, yeah, but I,
I thought that you were...

It's empty.
Yeah.

Her not telling us what
she knew about Zonastin

cost us a lot of credibility.

We probably should
have kept her records.

I mean, hindsight, your
instincts were correct.

And that's undeniable.

After saving my ass in Miami.

I, I want to thank you.

No, I want to thank you.

Oh, don't, don't bother,
you already have.

No, grab your jacket.

Follow me.

I really appreciate
what you did.

Oh, yeah.
Last night.

No, no, no, no.

Don't, don't downplay.
Hey, let's take a drive.

Which one should we,
which one should we take?

Which one, what do you like?

I like that,
let's take this one.

All right.
You know, come on, climb in.

This'll be fun.

Yeah.

You're gonna feel
the power on this.

Huh?

Heck yeah, here we go.

You don't need
that seatbelt. Live.

Mr. Sig, what
can I do you for?

How about a couple of shots?

Tequila.

Sound good?

Uh, sure.

For you.

What do you mean?

She's all yours.

That's my gift
for saving my life.

Hmm.

Thank you.

Here you go.

Here.

A toast to one hell
of an employee.

Mmm!

We good, Sammy?

Exactly how you asked.

All right.

Come on, one last gift.

Just up here.

Come on, this is gonna be fun.

Now it's a party.

Oh, look who's here.

No, no.

Oh, no, should I
have arranged for boys?

No, I...
You're about to be real good.

Go get 'em, Tiger.

Come on.
No, no.

I don't...
Oh, let me zoom in on that.

I gave you a little something.

Makes one head hard, makes
the other as hard as ever.

You're very
photogenic, Franklin.

Oh, fuck.

Hey, is he still here?

Oh, he left a few hours ago.

But he told me to give you this

when you were good
enough to drive.

Come on, what?

You didn't have a good time?

Some gorgeous girls in there.

You spiked my fucking drink.

That was a part
of the good time.

That fool's gonna kill
himself in that thing.

Hey, hey.

Sorry, sorry I'm so late.

I, I got held up in
a meeting with Thorenson.

Franklin?

Mr. Burrell.

What? What's, what's going on?

Oh, you mean what went on?

Exhibition of paintings
by this talented young lady

you're engaged to.

Yeah, he just
stopped by the gallery.

I find her paintings
so intriguing

that I had to see some more

before I decided
which one to buy.

Couldn't decide.

He brought them all.

I just might have made
her independently wealthy.

And you, woo,
so full of surprises.

Predictive analysis
be damned, huh?

Saving Thorenson? Didn't see
that one on the horizon.

Did, did he just say...

You took a meeting
with Thorenson?

Yeah.

You think these things
are spying--

Franklin, forget
the, the Tri-Band.

You had a meeting
with Thorenson,

that's why you bailed on me.

No, no, I didn't bail on you.
I have a job.

Oh, it's your job now.

I thought your job was to get
enough dirt on the asshole

so that you could put
him out of business.

Yeah, it is.

Is that why you smell like
cheap whores and stale beer?

Or is it the other way around?

I am so close to
nailing him, all right?

Why did you save him?

If you wanted
to get rid of him--

I saved him to save you, OK?

Who knows how many people
that guy would've shot.

Apparently you.

I'm building a case.

OK? Listen to me,
in four months,

this all explodes at his
annual investor's meeting.

Four months?

Franklin, this is not about
your sister or the world.

This is about you and
power and all this shit.

I think you like
taking his money.

His money paid
for your art show.

I knew you would hold
that over my head.

You say you don't care about
the money, but you do, Jala.

Leave me alone.
That makes you a hypocrite.

I'm a hypocrite?
Yeah, it makes you a hypocrite.

I'm a hypocrite?
Yes.

What? What?

What was that?

You were touching me.
No, no, no, no, no.

'Cause we, we were,
we were out there in the water.

It's OK. It's OK, all right.
I, I, I, I can--

Franklin, what was that?
I can explain.

What the fuck?

How the fuck did I
get in the water?

I, I, I didn't--
I was in there. I saw it.

It's the ring, OK?

What is that?

I, I found it.

And it does that?

Yeah, yeah, it takes you
back in time 57 seconds.

No, no, no, no, no.

That's not, that's not real.

You want me to,
I can show you a--

No, don't do it again.
Don't ever do it again.

I feel like I'm
going fuckin' crazy.

Where did you get it?

I found it on stage the
night that I saved Burrell.

But I don't know
where it came from.

I don't know how it works.

The night we met?

So you've had it
this whole time?

How many times
have you done that?

And why can't I remember?

I mean, I don't know.

I guess you only remember
if you're like touching it,

and if not,
it just, just resets.

Do you use it to do
things, to get stuff, like...?

That's it, isn't it?

This house, all,
all this, all this shit.

It's that thing.

Did you use it with me?

Is that how you got me?

Just a redo until you
say what I want to hear?

This ring gave us
everything, OK?

Our whole life
is a lie, Franklin.

It's not a lie, 'cause
when you press it,

it's like it never happened. OK?

But it did happen.
It happened and you know it.

It happened,
you know it, I forget it.

You know what? I should have
gone with my gut from the start.

You are a liar.

Jala.

Talk to Renee.

She knows where all
the bodies are buried.

They're blackmailing everyone.

Franklin.

I heard you got a nice
gift from Mr. Thorenson.

Yeah, I did, it was,
it was pretty nice actually.

But you know what would
be an even nicer gift?

- Hmm.
- Code to that safe.

Let me know when
you're serious.

How about right now?

Give me the combination.

Calvert!

Shit!

I swear to God
if you scream, I'm...

Oh!

Oh, shit.

Do not scream
or I will kill you again.

OK now, write down the code
to that goddamn safe.

Write it down.

Write it down!

Seven, two, one, three, one.

Seven, two, one, three, one.

Hey Renee, you wanna
see a magic trick?

OK.

I am going to get the
combination to this safe

using only my mind.

Franklin, that's not
something to play with.

Just play the game, Renee.

Hey Renee.
Huh?

Check this out.

Put it on your lap.
What?

OK, next time it won't be
your thigh, it'll be your head.

And trust me, it is not pretty.

Now tell me, what is
the code to the safe?

Tell me what the code is.

Five, three,
five, seven, eight.

Five, three,
five, seven, eight.

Five, three, five, seven, eight.

Franklin.
Shut up.

Wasn't that easy?

Franklin.

I heard you got a nice
gift from Mr. Thorenson.

I did, it was very nice.

You staying late tonight?

No, no,
I'm almost out the door.

OK, well, I'm gonna
stick around for a while.

I got some things
I wanna finish up.

Whoa.

Hey, are you working
tomorrow's game?

The basketball game?

Yeah, dude, you think Fink
could do it without me?

Neanderthal would probably
burn the building down.

Look, I,
I need your help with something.

What's up?

I'm taking down
Renson and Sig Thorenson.

Payback for your sister?

Yeah.

Fuckin' yeah.

But, but how?

Look.

What is all that?

This is
a bunch of shit

that Thorenson uses
to keep his employees in line.

Whoa, are
those naked Polaroids?

Yeah, he's been doing
this, like, forever.

He gets all this
collateral on his employees

to keep them in line.

So I put proof that
he knew about Zonastin

and all of this other
blow-up-your-world type shit

on a file and I'm
sending it to you.

Stop, stop, freeze, freeze.

What?
Is that you?

Why didn't you invite your boy?

Look, I, I
literally got drugged

and I don't remember
any of it, OK?

That's depressing.

Look, whatever I send you,

I need you to put it
up on the jumbotron

and blast it out to the world
before the game, all right?

That means I'm fired
and then broke.

No, no, no.
And probably homeless.

Do me a favor, check your
bank account real quick.

Damn, player!

How did you--
Hey, hey, hey.

No questions, OK?

I just, uh, I wanted
to take care of you.

I got you covered.
Thanks, man.

It took the rest of the night

to craft a final blog post
for my readers

explaining
why I'd be gone for a while

and why they should
tune into the game.

The next day I
prepared to skip town

while waiting for
the game to start

and making an attempt to
mend things with Jala.

Hey, it's Jala,

you know what to do.

Jala, look, you were right.

All right, I, I let the money
and the power get to me

and I'm, I'm sorry.

But I'm, I'm back
on track now, OK?

Turn the game on
if you can, you'll see.

I'm gonna be getting outta
town for a little bit, OK?

And... I love you.

Team on a mission

and they have the most
complete package.

They had a rough start.
They're ten games under .500.

That is their high
point for the season.

I am calling the upset tonight.

And look who it is.

It's Anton Burrell,
part-owner of the--

Come on, Andy.

This message is
being simultaneously sent out

to news outlets everywhere.

Renson Pharmaceuticals
CEO Sig Thorenson

has been accused of
misconduct for years.

Let me in, Andy!

What's wrong with you?
Open this damn door.

You're gonna be fired.

He blamed her
for all the deaths

caused by ignoring
report after report...

Open it!
Don't care!

I have
plenty of evidence,

but let's start with
the most shocking first.

What you are witnessing is one
of Sig Thorenson's henchmen

staging the murder of
employee Susan Miller

to appear as a suicide

so he could blame her
for all the deaths

caused by ignoring
report after report

of the addictive nature
of his pill Zonastin

that led to the deaths
of thousands.

Ah, come on,
come on.

Thorenson definitely knew,

'cause that's him right there,
hiding behind the wall,

getting collateral
on his henchman

after masterminding
the murder plot.

Right
now we are not sure

what's going on in the booth.

I shouldn't
have watched,

but I just had to
see it go down.

And now with the word out,
it was definitely time to go

as I expected an unpleasant
knock on my door at any moment.

There was a knock,
just not on my door.

You really don't have to.

You really fucked me.

But you're gonna fix it.

Yeah, everybody knows
that you can manufacture

any kind of fake video
these days.

That's exactly what you're
gonna tell the world you did.

It was all a hoax.

That's not gonna happen.

Oh, I think it will.
I got collateral.

Oh, those stupid
photos? I don't care.

Oh no, something much better.

Frank-Franklin.
You bastard.

Exactly what I am.

Franklin, I saw what you did.

You did the right thing.

Hit my ring and then run.

Wait, where?
We gotta go, they're coming.

What are you two
whispering about?

Do it now, do it!
It's over!

I got collateral.

Franklin.
Jala, I'm sorry.

No, it's OK.
You did the right thing.

We gotta go, they're coming.

Oh!
Get back here!

Get her! I got him.

I'll take
care of the girl.

Forget about her.

Just get him on
the plane, let's go!

Let's go!

Come on, let's get
this thing in the air.

This is
Flight Control.

You are not cleared
for takeoff.

They're blocking the runway.

You are not cleared...

Fly over them, fly through,
just get me outta here.

You are not
cleared for takeoff.

Ground your...

There are vehicles
on the runway!

You are not cleared
for takeoff!

Calvert?

We're good, right?
Might have done some damage.

We should get back
on the ground.

No, no, no.
We fly, dammit.

Calvert's right,
let's turn back.

Personally, I'd
rather fight my case

from a private island
than a cell.

Gotta at least get
across the border.

This is all your fault,
you know that, right?

Hey, I am talking to you.

What the hell?

That ring?

That's it, that's what
you've been doing.

The ring? Sig, what
are you talking about?

I was here, then you,
you were...

Give me that ring!

Franklin, please.

Please.

Strap in!
You give it to me.

Give it to me, asshole.
We're going down.

Don't you wanna see
your girl again?

The ring? Sig, what
are you talking about?

Explosion.
The ring, it takes it back.

What explosion?
She doesn't know.

But you do, you know.

You know.

I do.

Give it to me.

That's it, it's too late.

There's not enough time.
Here, you can take it.

What do you mean
not enough time?

The ring only goes
back 57 seconds.

Then I'll just take us back.

Take us back, take us back.

It's not working.

It's not working, make it work!

Here, here.

Make it, make it
work, make it work.

I told you when we first met.

It has limited power.

What is
he talking about?

That's it,
it's over, you're done.

If I'm done, you're done.
You wanna die?

Your pills, your company.
You killed my sister.

You don't deserve
anything you've got.

So if you die, I, I don't care.

Sig!
Pull up.

Pull up.

Get back!

Ma'am, please
stay inside the vehicle.

Ma'am, ma'am, do not
approach the crash site.

Franklin?

Ma'am, get back!

Franklin?

Franklin!

Where's Franklin,
where's Franklin?

I don't know.

Franklin, Franklin!
Oh, God!

Are you OK, are you OK?
I'm OK.

I'm OK, I'm OK.

Are you OK, are you OK?

Thorenson's gone.

Hey, you want me to
look at that for you?

He'll be OK.

Franklin, what
is he doing here?

And how do you know he'll be OK?

Ingram's circuitry
integrates with the ring.

The ring.

You, you knew I had the ring?

Sorry, I, I should have
given it back to you.

Well, I wanted you to have it.

Why?

The moment you picked it up,

Ingram determined that you

could be the perfect person to--

To test it on?

I wasn't testing the ring.

I was testing you.

Monitoring you to see

how technology
would affect your...

decisions, actions.

Quantum crystals.

The crystals put me on the
path to develop the Tri-Bands.

But the real breakthrough...
Time travel.

Franklin,

I've been looking for
someone with the aptitude

to work alongside me

to determine how best to use

the vast potentials of this
technology for the world.

So I'm asking you
to come on board.

Help me discover it.

You can't,

you can't just
keep going back and...

redoing things till
you get it right.

Is that what a better
future looks like?

Death?

You're not about to
mourn Sig Thorenson.

No.

But innocent people
could have died.

Jala could have
been on that plane.

So you're turning me down.

Well, in that case,
I need the ring.

No.

This thing is,
this thing's dangerous.

It's addictive, it's like...

the same stuff
that killed my sister.

I couldn't stop using it
and I didn't want to.

Now wait, Franklin, wait.

Sorry. I gotta end this.

Should we run?

I can't run, you run.

No, I told you
I'm not leaving you.

Offer still stands.

What?
You just proved

that you are the
perfect partner.

You, you already
have a partner.

He analyzes,
does what he's told.

Last thing I need
is a yes man.

I need somebody who's
not afraid to tell me no.

Now what do you say?

Will you help me
make a better world?

I just did.

You can have these back too.

You have a lot of
explaining to do.

I know.

But what you did
was so fuckin' sexy.

Ow.
I'm sorry, I'm sorry,

I'm sorry.

Time is
the universal factor

of synchronization.

Subvert the law,
even for 57 seconds,

and you create disharmony,
disparity, disunity.

A world of disses.

And honestly...

...who wants to live there?
