- [Sydney] Extremism is a thing

that most people don't understand

because they don't live an extreme life,

they live day-to-day going to their jobs

and being with their friends

and taking care of their families

in their small towns with their two cars and their dog.

Extremism to them is-- - Ding dong, ding dong.

- Hey Fred, what's up?

- [Fred] Able, how are you doing?

- Fine, fine, good, what's up?

- Works okay?

- Yeah, yeah, just the usual thing, what's up?

- Well, I have some pretty exciting news, you ready?

- Sure.

- You sir were chosen for a field op.

May I?

- Oh, yeah, yeah, I thought--

- A field op, yes, it turns out one of our sister agencies

needs completion and bing bong you were chosen.

Pretty exciting stuff, huh?

And it's very, very low-risk,

you're just getting your feet wet

and there's nothing to worry about.

- You're sure?

- If I was you sir, I wouldn't ask so many questions.

You're now in the fold.

- I really, I never--

- Don't even worry about it, okay.

All you're doing is dropping of a simple package,

blah, blah, blah, blah, blah,

and you'll be home in time for dinner.

Your work's outstanding Able.

This is nothing really, it's just routine.

- It's everything to me Fred.

- That is why I like you,

that is why I like you so damn much.

Did you make this?

- [Able] You know I did.

- If I could just see the world through your eyes,

I'd be better man.

That is why I keep you around sir.

Just check your email

and we'll see you in the morning, okay bud?

- Okay.

- Put me the game coach.

Have a good one.

(dramatic music)

- [Sydney] We're live with award winning host Sydney Beale.

Ignorance is bliss for those who are ignorant

but for the rest of us it's a pain in the ass.

I want ya to tell me what you think is going on

'cause what you think is going on,

what you believe is going on

is not what's really going on it's what you think.

- [Group] Fuck Donald Trump, fuck Donald Trump,

fuck Donald Trump.

- [Sydney] Don't tell me you're right when there's a fact

out there that says many times over you're wrong.

And what's happened is people think things

and then all these other thousands of people say,

"Oh, yeah I think that too."

And then they create websites,

and they create newspapers online,

and they write articles, and they know their audience,

and they appoint these things to their audience.

It's not true but that doesn't matter.

What you think, what you believe,

what you want to think is true,

is true to you.

If you wanna believe it, it's not a fabrication.

But you know what is,

things that aren't true are not factual.

(sirens roaring)

They're just not curious.

(group chattering)

But it's important to be curious for everybody else.

I don't I have $49,000 laying around do you?

And having a lack of interest in finding out what's real.

Same thing as running the scissors.

- [Able] Hey buddy, how are ya?

- Ah, is that it in there?

- Yeah, yeah.

- Hey, hey, hey, hey, hey!

You know what's in that.

I'm making you nervous. - Yeah, you're

making me nervous, yeah.

- I think we need to get this done.

- And we will. - Oh yeah.

- And we will.

Hey wait!

No, no, no. - Give it here.

- [Able] Let go, it's not right.

- [Buck] Are you listening?

- [Evelyn] Yes, I can hear you.

- [Buck] I'm not asking if you can hear me.

Are you listening Evelyn?

- [Evelyn] Yes sir, yes I am, I am sir.

- [Buck] When I came to you and your people,

I was told this would be open and shut.

- I-- - Stop.

I know the private sector pays more

than your old gig in Washington but it pays more

because it demands attention and discretion.

Do not forget that I can cut this little inflection

of yours in half and send you back

to fucking mail room in Langley, understood?

- Yes sir, absolutely.

Fuck!

- (mumbles).

- [Able] Hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey.

- What the fuck!

Jesus Christ!

Got a quarter? - I'll give you five bucks

for your coat.

- Fuck out of here!

- 10, 10, 10, you can have mine.

- This ain't a auction motherfucker.

- All right, all right, I'll give you 52, $52.

- All right. - Yeah, yeah, yeah.

- It's your money.

- [Able] Oh my God.

- [Homeless Man] It's a pretty good coat.

- Here you go, thanks.

Oh God.

- It looks good.

There you go.

- Oh, oh. - Jesus Christ.

Jesus Christ, get your shit together.

That's kinda disgusting.

- Oh fuckin' shit. - Hey you got

a quarter brother?

- [Sydney] Back to KYXK's 48 hour marathon,

the best of counter intelligence.

Al right we're live.

The show that goes deep into the hood of the nation today.

Ignorance is bless for those who are ignorant

but for the rest of us it's a pain in the ass.

Like a baby boomer

(mumbles) me but I feel like I've been left behind.

I feel like everything's moving on without me.

I feel like modern times have not included me.

- Said, "That it's, that we need to un-fuck this thing."

- Now ask him if he understands?

- Make sense?

Yeah, he says yeah.

- I wanna hear his fucking voice.

(voice echoing)

- I'm making you nervous. - Yeah, you're making nervous,

Listen-- - That's weird.

- I'm gonna call this in-- - You're just weird.

- Just plain weird. - Just stay,

Look it's gonna be simple. - No, no--

- It's gonna be fine. - It's not gonna be.

- I'm just gonna-- - I don't think so no, no.

I think we need to get this done.

- Yeah and we will.

- Oh, yeah. - We will.

What, no, no, no! - Give it here!

What the hell is wrong with you?

Let go. - Let go, it's not right.

- Are you nuts? - It's not right!

No, give it, go!

No, no, no, no, no.

This isn't right! - Are you nuts?

- This isn't right.

No I'm not nuts!

(groaning)

(fist thuds)

- Fuck!

Oh great.

- [Evelyn] Are you fuckin' kidding me?

Page nine.

- Ev, love the dress, looks great.

- Have you seen this file Phil?

- Well it might of been sent over by that B group

that I was working with,

they're very orderly over there.

- Did you read all of it by chance?

- That's our job.

You gotta tell these young guys

'cause sometimes they don't listen.

They just power through but not me.

- Oh yeah. - You can count on old Phil.

- Do me a favor Phil. - Sure.

What do you like?

Let see here, I see so many files.

- Second paragraph last sentence.

- Oh. - Read it.

- Mr. James has recently been identified to suffer

from diagnoseable attributes of manic behavioral disorder

evidence, sorry cold.

Oh evidence by bouts of semi severe paranoia,

manic episodes predominantly prompt temporary blackouts.

Mr. James should be indefinitely

considered unfit for field work

in any capacity and should only be assigned to class one

or below office related tasks until further treatment.

Oh, so he's not.

So that's probably not, probably not, what--

- Not good.

- Well, I didn't see that, all of that in my initial--

- You didn't. - Analysis.

No, no, not completely, no.

- Not completely.

- Yes, no.

- You figured out at the five.

- Well I assumed it would be okay.

He seemed, he seemed qualified.

Well low-risk qualified.

I mean well I don't want to,

I try to avoid discrimination, generally speaking.

Is there a problem?

- Would I be standing in your office

looking at your stupid bald face

if everything was okay Phil?

- No, I mean, probably not, no, no need to.

- Are you fuckin' kidding me,

you knew that was there, you read that

and you chose this idiot! - Well,

I mean I kinda spot checked it.

- Your job is the only job in the country

where discrimination is a fucking requirement.

- I did the best with, it was rushed, I'm sorry.

It was just thrown together.

- You know what happens now?

What happens now is that I get to visit

an appointed official, an elected servant of the people.

You get to sit here

with your shriveled little fucking penis

all because you refuse to discriminate

because you're a lazy incontinent, incompetent fucker.

- I don't think you can talk to me this way Evelyn.

- Fuck you Phil, that's what I think.

- He seemed fine.

- No, no, no, no, we don't make mistakes Phil.

- Well you're saying-- - So now you're gonna

extricate yourself while you can still get a hard on,

you're fucked. - Yeah.

- You're fired, pack your shit.

- This is wrong, this is crazy.

- Yeah, it is crazy, crazy rises, stupid drowns.

Buy a fucking wetsuit.

(dramatic music)

- Numbers that's it, numbers, numbers, numbers,

numbers and numbers and information,

numbers and information, numbers, that's it, that's me.

- You don't, you really don't know what's in here?

- [Able] No, I said I don't know.

- And you didn't steal it.

- [Able] Look I don't have to explain myself to you okay.

- I'm sorry I wasn't,

I wasn't trying to put you on the spot.

- [Able] Oh really.

(laughing)

- No, I swear.

I'm just, I'm just, I'm tired.

- Let's not forget who's in control here right, remember.

- Sorry.

I'm sorry.

- Look, I didn't steal it exactly, it's just not mine.

- Are you, are you in trouble?

Okay.

Am I in trouble?

- No, I don't know, I don't think so.

- Oh. - Fuck!

No more questions okay, can you just for minute.

- Why not give it to whoever you're suppose to give it to

and then you'll be out of trouble.

- I said no more questions.

- If you don't know what it is and somebody else needs it

why not either figure out how fucked you are or--

- You have no idea how this works.

- Give it back to whose ever it is.

- You have no idea what this is or how I got here.

So if you don't know then all you have to go on

is what I know, which is very, very fucking little.

Who, who I should-- - I'm just trying--

- You can't help, okay.

So just stick to your pretty pictures and shit.

I'm handling, I'm.

I don't even know what I'm looking at everyday,

walls of code, the goddamn matrix rolling by

and I tell it where to go

and then someone else takes it to the next stop

and then someone else and then someone else

and then on another stop, another stop.

I honestly don't even know if it ever actually stops,

I'm a goddamn, I'm on track (mumbles)

on a road that goes around the world.

Emails about employees, coordinates to a village in Ukraine,

who knows anywhere, anything, anytime,

any problem, any solution.

- Ukraine. - Anything.

Yeah, Ukraine, South Sudan, Lebanon, Pakistan

on and on, and on, and on.

I'm a goddamn desk jockey, I'm a itty bitty cog

in the biggest wheel on the planet.

I'm the lowest man on the totem pole

in a company that fixes...

and then one day out of clear blue this, why?

Why?

- I don't know.

- Maybe I saw something that no one was supposed to see.

A lot of high-up problems come through my eyes,

something slipped by maybe, I don't know, I don't know.

Maybe something worth making me go away I don't know.

I didn't tell you anything

and the only people that do know

they're out there looking for me.

So what do I tell them in the meantime, huh?

Oh hey sorry I didn't hand over the, whatever this is.

- Isn't that what you can-- - No.

What are you fucking kidding, no, what, no!

No oh my God.

What are doing?

She doesn't, she doesn't know what she, Jesus Christ,

fuck, she's not even fucking listen to what you're saying.

She doesn't listening, she's not listening,

nobody ever fucking listen.

They don't listen, they don't listen.

You're fucked. - Hey, come on.

- [Able] You're fucked, you're fucked.

- I'm not trying to. - You're fucked,

you're fucked, you're fucked, you're fucked.

- Oh my God - You're

fucked, you're fucked.

- Hey wait, you're okay.

- You're fucked, you're fucked.

You're fucked, you're fucked. - I wasn't.

Oh, my God.

- You're fucked, you're fucked,

you're fucked, you're fucked. - You're okay.

- You're fucked, you're fucked.

- Stop it. - You're fucked,

you're fucked, you're fucked. - Stop it.

Stop it. - You're fucked.

- What the fuck you do that for man?

Fuck Jesus Christ.

You're gonna have slide your weapon out buddy.

Come on.

You can do it, come on buddy.

Come on.

Fuck this shit.

(gun bangs)

(gun bangs)

(gun bangs)

(gun bangs)

(groaning)

God you cocksucker!

Oh fuck, son of a,

why the fuck did you?

Fuck you all right.

(gun bangs)

Fuck, goddammit.

- Okay.

(gun bangs)

(gun bangs)

- You just dropped.

I just, I moved you here to the couch.

It's okay.

You're okay.

You're okay, I didn't do anything,

I didn't call anybody I swear to God I just,

you blacked out and moved you,

and checked your head, and moved you here, that's it.

I fucking swear that's it.

- Did I blackout?

- I didn't, I don't, I don't know.

- Tell me exactly what happened.

- I don't know you just dropped.

You just dropped.

- Did I day anything?

- No, fuck.

- Why didn't you take the gun?

- I don't know, I didn't, fuck.

Fuck this, fuck this, fuck this.

It was like a seizure or something

and I, I almost took you to the hospital.

- I'm glad you didn't.

- The bag vibrated.

- What?

- The thing, the case while you were, it buzzed,

it vibrated, I didn't look.

I just moved you to the couch.

- I think it needs a password.

- You don't know it.

Is there a call?

- [Able] It's unknown.

- What was that?

- Someone's trying to find me I guess.

- No, not that.

- I have sometimes, a couple times a year

these episodes like if I...

my eyes, I can't see anything,

they're all blurry.

I thought I had a chance but I'm just living

in a fucking fuckin' fancy.

Stuck...

and I just can't wake up.

I thought we had everything

but I couldn't keep shit together.

I fucked it all up.

And I pushed her away.

I'm just didn't actually think she would go.

I thought I could be who I wanted to be.

My fucking head.

I'd go back if I could.

The only thing worse than not living your dreams

being stuck halfway.

(mumbles) I thought I'd say fuck you

to her and everybody else.

I hope it's over soon.

It's hard knowing what you want.

- Yeah.

- You want me to kidnap that Dave guy?

(laughing)

(phone buzzing)

Hello.

- Are you safe?

- Yeah.

- You, I'm glad you picked up.

You have the bag with you then.

- Yeah, it's here, yeah.

Who is this?

- Able, we need to end this as amicably as possible.

We have some folks out there looking for you.

Now it makes the most sense at this point

for you to just come in.

- It doesn't seem safe.

- Please take this kindly,

you've caused a lot of trouble.

We need to clean this up sweetie.

- I just, I just wanna leave the bag somewhere.

I can tell you where it is and go away.

- With no money, no things, you can't go home,

you'll be picked up at the airport.

- How do I know I'll be okay?

- You'll be safer if you comply.

- [Able] This wasn't my fault.

- [Evelyn] We know that.

Where are you?

We can come to you.

- [Able] No, I've got, I have someone with me.

- Office personnel?

- No. - Do they know anything?

Did you tell them anything?

- No. - Able.

- Nothing I didn't, I didn't say anything.

- And they're safe.

- Yeah, we're okay.

- Okay, I'll send you a message in five minutes.

- [Able] Will you be there?

- You'll be fine, my people are perfectly capable.

- I want-- - You're not

in a bargaining position Able.

Five minutes, are you mobile?

- Yeah, I can be, yeah.

- Five minutes. - I can't unlock the phone.

- Can you see the texts on the front screen?

- Yeah probably, yeah.

- Five minutes.

Motherfucker yes!

Oh eat my ass Able James!

Fucking Fred!

Fucking everybody, fuck you!

- We're not gonna have time to kill your boss.

- It's cool.

- God.

Still got it.

You still got it.

- [Angela] Yeah well you can't fuckin' see.

- [Able] No, it's getting better.

This is some serious shit.

- [Angela] You're not taking my car.

- Hey whoa, whoa, hold on, take it easy buster.

Twice in one day. - Fuck off Jeff!

- Hey dude I was just trying, what the fuck?

- [Angela] Shut the fuck up.

Can you do that for me.

- Yeah. - Can you shut the fuck

up for me Jeff?

Don't fucking speak.

Don't ever fucking speak, nod.

You come near my door I fuck you up, nod.

Let it go dude, fuck off, and let it go.

- What a dick.

- [Sydney] Made it this way

whether you like it or you hate it that's what you get.

You don't get to choose.

So take what-- - My friends the

long winter's night is over and springtime is here.

♪ O say can you see ♪

♪ By the dawn's early light ♪

♪ What so proudly we hailed at the twilight's ♪

- [Man] Now get off your phones, get of your TVs,

I'm telling you, get off Facebook, take your masks off.

- The state gives us our rights.

- The whole park. - We are given.

- Bullshit. - Our rights

are given us at birth by God.

- [Man] Stop blaming everyone else for your problems

and take a real good look in your own heart.

For once just look up, look up for guidance.

- [Man] And I'm just one person, one person,

you know and I made a shield, I took a stick,

throw my gas mask on and my helmet

and I went in there and I cracked the skulls

of some commies that we're attacking us.

And now today we're all here together

standing up for liberty and freedom.

- [Man] What do we stand for?

- [Group] Freedom!

- [Man] Stop looking at the government

and for once get down on your knees

and pray to God and ask God for help.

I'm telling ya.

- [Man] We are here today guys--

- Do not (mumbles) government. - For free speech.

♪ O say does that star-spangled banner yet ♪

And the darkness is slowly coming in

(group chattering)

And it's okay to be a beautiful Christian too.

(group cheering)

- [Buck] Evelyn, you look lovely.

- Thank you sir.

- What can you tell me?

- Well it's not ideal, we seem to have,

things will improve within in the next couple of hours

I just need to hear from a few of my associates

before we know when you're in the clear.

- Am I fucked Evelyn?

- I'm not sure it's-- - If you keep stuttering

and fumbling through every fucking word

I'm going to pull them out of your throat.

Am I fucked?

- I don't know yet sir.

Once we can-- - We did Evelyn,

I was under the impression that we did,

that's why I sent my personal head of security

to finish this.

I've had it up to here with your apologies

and your niceties and talking down to me

like you were my fucking mother!

- It was human error sir.

- Just, just tell me what happened and where we stand.

I'm trying to stay in control

but you're making it exceptionally, exceedingly hard.

- What I'm trying to do is keep

at the very least six degrees of separation

between you and the nuances of this.

- This is being exasperated,

this could of been swept under the rug a week ago

and I could have had my property back,

oh hell a month ago had we just--

- Followed your plans sir.

- Excuse me.

- This matter ran the risk of blowing completely

out of control into an absolute shit storm sir.

Now we're dealing with it accordingly.

- Don't you dare talk down to me you fucking child.

I have been in this racket 45 years,

started when you were a fuckin' tadpole

in your daddy's prunes

and don't think you have the right or privilege

of speaking to me, me as an equal.

I wrote you a check, I pay your bills,

I pay your peoples bills,

I pay for your doggie daycare

and your mannish apartment in the hills

so you can mitigate human fucking error.

And don't you think for one second

that you are remotely in charge, do you understand me?

- Neither are you sir.

- Get out of my fucking' office.

- Politicians are petty sir.

You're angry right now, you should be

but when this is all done

you're worship the ground I walk on.

Then you'll give me a pitch perfect referral

to the next petty entitled prick

who doesn't understand

when you leave personal and sensitive property

somewhere you aren't suppose to

and the wrong people find it

solutions are very complex and expensive.

Or maybe he'll tow that line of recreation like you seem to.

If I were you sir, I'd start asking

what you need to do from here on out.

Do you understand?

- Good speech.

- Control your dick.

(dramatic music)

- [Sydney] 'Cause if we did better than all these people

that have these dirty energy job.

- And they got one of those big buckets

on a trailer, oh my God.

- [Sydney] Their families depend on them,

their communities depends on them and we depend on the.

- He died but.

- [Sydney] Doing those things so that we can continue

to drive our cars and heat our homes and use the fuels.

Because that's the way the system is set up.

If we look at our small communities they are suffering

and the people that live there

have no other way to make sure that their family is feed,

to make sure that they have a house to live in

and what's happening is their communities are collapsing.

- What do we do?

- [Sydney] Ghost town because jobs are disappearing.

- Oh thank God, come on out.

- Want me to get out?

Are you okay?

- [Sydney] We're all gonna die.

(mumbles) and making sure--

- Hey, I.

- Jesus Christ.

- You'll be fine.

- Is someone with you?

- Yes.

- Who? - I'm--

- Who? - He's here,

the guy you're here for, in the car.

- You a friend?

- No, no, I mean, I mean...

no.

- Okay, so he's in the car then.

- Yeah.

- Say again. - Yeah.

- [Ed] So all right just bring him on out okay.

- Yeah.

Come on it's okay, come on.

- [Ed] You armed?

Are you armed?

- He's coming.

Come on it's okay.

- I can't. - Are you armed?

He's gotta go, come on.

- Yes, you can. - It's not right.

- Stop it.

Stop it.

Stop it, put it down.

(gun bangs)

(gun bangs)

(gun bangs)

- [Sydney] You think you know.

- Come on, stop it.

- I can't. - Stop it.

Put it down.

- Are you armed? - He's coming.

- Put it down.

It's okay. - I can't.

- [Angela] Stop it.

Stop it.

Put it down.

It's okay.

- [Sydney] Earth because if the earth is too screwed up

that we're not gonna be able to live on it,

if we can't live on it what's the point of earth, right.

- Put it down.

We're not armed.

- Okay.

Come on over.

Thank you.

Yeah, yeah, yeah, no, we're all locked in here.

Right, be there shortly.

In 25, 30 minutes, well do.

Can I?

Angela.

- Yeah.

- Thank you so much for bringing him in.

Sorry about this whole thing.

Did he hurt you at all?

- No, no of course not.

- He's gun was empty I figured.

Did he tell you anything?

- No, no, what's gonna happen to him?

- Shit, I don't know.

You know we bring him in and then it's out of our hands.

Hell, you know these things happen every once in a while,

it just, oh, you got some peanuts here.

Do you mind?

- Seriously?

- Yeah, I mean if you don't mind.

- Yeah, I mean sure I guess that's fine.

- He tell you where he works.

- No, I don't know anything, all right.

- Yeah, no, yeah, fine.

You sure?

- Yes, I'm sure.

Okay, he didn't hurt anybody.

- Now.

- He's not gonna get like, he didn't hurt anyone.

(gun bangs)

(groaning)

- You cocksucker, ow, fuck, son of a,

why the fuck did you?

Fuck you all right.

(gun bangs)

Fuck goddammit.

- Okay.

(gun bangs)

What's gonna happen to me?

- Anyways, hey you're free to go home.

I, don't tell anybody about this okay,

this address or any of this stuff.

We're gonna have somebody watch ya, you should know that.

So don't tell anybody.

Hey and thanks for this.

Yes.

You have a good night.

- Hey, that's it, that's all.

- There's a number on there,

anything comes up feel free to use it.

- Wait you're not, you're not gonna like question me

or send me to Gitmo or try to kill me or something.

- Gitmo, no.

In Cuba, Cuba right?

Gitmo.

(laughing)

That's funny.

- Hey.

- Yeah.

- Is he gonna be okay?

- Probably.

- You know he's not well, he's like ill, right,

he's mentally ill.

- Not my problem, not my job, not my problem.

(gentle music)

- [Sydney] But you never get to know them

because you don't have any reason to interact with them

and if you don't have a reason to interact with them

you don't bother going into their neighborhoods to find them

you just don't go there, you never see them,

and you don't interact with them.

Is that your fault?

Are you a racist or you know I don't know,

probably not but you're not gonna seek out

something that's not like you

if everything's working out fine

and that's a problem.

Because what ends up happening

is you go through a neighborhood that's not like yours

and all you wanna do is go through it.

You don't stop and become a part of another community.

If you actually took a red pen

and drew on a map all the places you go

from your house to wherever you go

you're gonna see the same repeated patterns over and over.

I'll bet you anything almost every line you make

is gonna be a repeatable line that was there before

because we have our areas.

And I think we gotta stop having areas.

(gentle music)

(dramatic music)

- [Man] My friends I coming to you again

because I made you a pledge

and I want you know that the job isn't finished.

I'd like to tell you America is second to none.

My fellow citizens it's important.
