He's here.

Carl. Martin.

Mr. Hale, it's an honor.

When I was a kid, I saved that Time magazine cover,

"The Man Who Built New York."

You're the reason I got into this business.

Sit, please.

And congratulations on the downtown contract.

Thank you. I didn't know the word was out yet.

Hard to keep the word in on a $200 million deal like that.

I hear you lobbied Councilman Clark pretty hard.

Just a few steak dinners, that's all.

I'm not talking about the Kobe.

Look, Martin...

You called the Hale Group a "relic."

I'm not sure if those were my exact words.

No. Your exact words were, "The old man won't be around for long."

At least, that's how the Councilman remembers it.

You're getting the contract, aren't you?

I don't want the contract.

You think $200 million means you've arrived?

What I want is to offer you a lesson from an "old man,"

free of charge.

We've spoken with Simon and Cohen.

Between them, they control seven seats on your board.

And they support me.

They've come to see the need for someone with the wisdom of experience.

And someone who might remember

that Councilman Clark's first campaign, 30 years ago,

was bankrolled by Mr. Hale here.

Try and appreciate the irony, Mr. Baldwin.

You say I'm the reason you got into this business?

Now, I'm the reason you're out.

You son of a bitch!

You're gonna be dead in a year. And then who gives a shit?

He's wrong.

I won't last six months.

It's metastasized. Liver and lungs.

This morning the oncologist was talking about hospice care.

I'm sorry.

Don't be.

What you and Judith went through,

losing a child, that's a tragedy.

An old man dying. I'm supposed to say, "That's life."

Still feels like a kick in the nuts.

Have you told Claire?

I haven't had a chance.

Well, she won't return my calls.

Jesus, Damian, if she only knew...

She has every reason to be angry.

Oh, peanuts.

I'll send... I'll send it back.

Cancer's eating me alive, and I'm worried about allergies.

Maybe I should order a P...

PB&J.

No.

You know, I wanted to tear all this down

in the '70s, replace it with condos.

And now?

Couldn't if I tried.

Mayor declared it a landmark.

Oh, Martin, you ever hear about something called "shedding"?

Shedding? You mean like a snake?

Ah, it's nothing. Forget about it.

It's just something I was reading about.

Hi. You've reached Claire. Please leave a message.

How many? Before me?

Less than a dozen.

Shedding is an exclusive endeavor.

You mean expensive, Dr. Albright.

Well, all of our clients are wealthy,

but that's not how they're chosen.

No, we cater to the great.

The visionaries, whose loss would be a blow to all of us.

Simply put, we offer humanity's greatest minds

more time to fulfill their potential.

If you think about it, your homes, your yacht, your jet...

All custom-built by the world's finest craftsmen.

And so will your new body be as well.

Genetically engineered for perfection.

Harvested to maturity, so looks, athleticism,

every detail of your new anatomy

will be designed to offer you the very best of the human experience.

A reflex.

It's alive?

Only in the most basic sense.

A bundle of organic tissue. But right now an empty vessel.

If you can really do what you say, then why the makeshift lab?

I mean, why all the secrecy?

You're asking the wrong question.

Oh. What's the right question?

You've built an empire from the ground up.

Worked every day to create something from nothing.

Now, as you slip away,

people will call your work your "legacy."

They'll insist that your buildings somehow make you immortal.

What's your point?

Do you feel immortal?

Thanks for supporting the cause, guys.

I'm gonna give him a call, but...

Yeah, that's what I was thinking.

Here, sir, would you like a flyer?

Remember, we want everyone at the rally to be respectful.

We're trying to win people over.

Dad.

Aren't you gonna introduce me? Ugh.

I'm sorry to show up like this.

It's the only place I knew I could find you.

Well, I'm kind of in the middle of something.

Let's take a ride uptown to that place by Macy's.

You used to love their sundaes.

Yeah, when I was eight.

Is something wrong?

You don't look well. I'm fine.

Now, please take a ride with me.

Look, it's just a bad time, okay?

Maybe we can meet up later.

Not later.

The revolution can wait, Claire.

I don't get you.

Months go by. Years even.

I'm at work, Dad.

This isn't work. It's a bunch of children throwing a tantrum.

Look, I didn't come here to do this again.

I came because I want to make things right.

What does that mean?

I know you're short on funds.

How... Just take it.

You know, you can really be a manipulative asshole.

Don't be a fool, Claire. I'm trying, here.

No, you're not. You're doing what you always do.

Showing up on your terms,

expecting your checkbook to solve everything.

I am talking about a future

where the aged and infirm can shed their prisons.

A future where...

Where the fate of a healthy mind

is not determined by the fate

of a failing body.

Okay...

Oh, my goodness.

Albright.

I don't feel immortal.

If we do this, there's no turning back. Your old life is over.

You see someone from your past, you walk away.

Is that clear, Mr. Hale?

You have your conditions, I have mine.

You get paid after the procedure.

I may be dying, but I'm not a fool.

Settle your affairs and fly to New Orleans on Tuesday.

Your death needs to be public, Mr. Hale.

Have lunch at Commander's. I recommend the chicory coffee.

You've reached the residence of Martin and Judy.

Please leave a message.

Sorry to bother you at the ranch, Martin.

You mind meeting me for lunch in New Orleans?

Yeah, it's a three-point favorite,

and that just means a home field advantage for New Orleans.

Well, you know, we've seen this before, when these...

Are you going to stay? George wants you to.

The Hale Group without Hale? No.

Thank you.

Judy's been spending most of her time up the coast at the ranch.

I think it's time for me to cash out and join her full-time.

I wish you could drive out, come see the new place.

If the maids would ever stop quitting,

we might finally be ready for visitors.

Damian, are you okay?

What's the matter?

I... What?

What?

Call 911!

Oh! Damian!

Damian! Do you have your EpiPen?

Do you have it with you? He can't breathe!

ETA five minutes. Huh?

Mr. Hale? Mr. Hale?

The good news is you're not going into anaphylactic shock.

You just feel like you are.

The bad news is your body needs to arrive DOA

at Tulane Hospital in about 20 minutes.

Open your mouth, please.

Have all your fillings been removed? DAMIAN I What?

Have all your metal fillings been removed, sir? Yeah.

The machine is a giant magnet.

Any metal will disrupt the process.

So you're sure we're not missing anything?

Good.

One, two...

What's that?

It's something to stop your heart.

What?

I said it's something to stop your heart.

It didn't work.

It didn't work. What's your name?

It didn't...

It didn't work.

What's your name?

Damian.

Damian.

It will take a few days, but it gets easier.

It has that new body smell.

Damian.

Damian?

Yeah.

Are you all right?

Yes.

Death has some side effects.

Here. The paper of record.

We can arrange a visit to the plot

in a few months if it holds any significance.

But right now...

Get some rest if you can.

Tomorrow's your first day of school.

So, how are you feeling?

Terrific. I have the physical dexterity of a toddler.

Two hundred and fifty million well spent.

A sense of humor. Good.

It's important actually. Helps to fend off despair.

Is that why I'm only allowed plastic knives?

Suicidal thoughts are not uncommon.

Inhabiting a body the mind regards as alien can be pretty overwhelming.

And what is that? Prozac?

No, not exactly. No.

The "glitches" that you've described to me?

That's your mind adjusting to its new neural structure.

And you can expect occasional, mild hallucinations for the first year.

Jesus. There's nothing to worry about.

Think of it as the anti-rejection drug

that you'd take after any transplant.

And what does rejection look like?

Well, migraine, nausea, disorientation, and then...

Well, death.

Oh.

Is that all? An irrelevant hypothetical.

One a day for the time being.

Hell yes.

I was born on September 20, 1980. Phoenix, Arizona.

My parents and my older sister were killed in a car crash.

My parents and my older sister were killed in a car crash

when I was 10 years old.

I was home with a stomach ache because I snuck in the kitchen

and ate a whole tub of chocolate ice cream. I was born September 20, 1980.

I was born September 20, 1980.

I was born on September 20, 1980. Phoenix, Arizona.

My parents and my older sister were killed in a car crash.

I was home with a stomach ache because I snuck in the kitchen

and ate a whole tub of chocolate ice cream.

I haven't eaten chocolate since.

My Uncle Frank raised me in Chicago.

I went to Northwestern, where I majored in Computer Science.

I never married.

I have no children.

I have never married. I have no children.

My name is Edward Kidner.

My name is Edward Kidner.

My name is Edward Kidner.

Mmm. What's this?

This is a graduation present.

You'll live locally for the time being,

just until you get your bearings.

We've arranged a house and car for you

and placed the money that you put aside in a new bank account.

Not many in there, are there?

Seven.

You'll get refills at our weekly meetings.

No. A leash wasn't part of the deal.

I'm sorry. I admit it's an inconvenience.

But with so few undergoing the procedure,

every one of our patients is a learning process.

It's just for now. All right?

And how do I get in touch with you?

You don't. I come to you.

My privacy is very important to me for obvious reasons.

Fair enough.

I'll tell you what. In a couple of months,

we can talk about wherever it is

that you want to be relocated. All right?

But in the meantime, why don't you just relax and have some fun.

After all, at your age, I'd say you've earned it.

Move, move, move!

What's up, man?

Way to go.

Hey, NBA.

You see any scouts watching?

Uh-uh. I like to win. Hmm.

Come back, you'll be disappointed.

You're not from around here, are you?

How'd you guess? The locals prefer sucking?

I like that. That's funny.

Gonna get a local ass-whooping. I'm Anton.

Edward.

How's the wrist?

My kids can dish out more than that.

You got kids?

Yeah, buddy. Let me show you my beauties.

Look at that. The oldest, she just turned seven.

Ah. They're cute at that age.

Before they grow claws and sharp-pointed teeth.

So what's your story, Eddie?

What do you mean?

You know. You in town to catch some jazz, chase the ladies?

No, no, no. I'm actually renting an apartment about two blocks up there.

No shit. I'm just around the corner.

Yeah? No shit.

Yeah, I'm right here.

Anton. It was nice meeting you.

Sure.

Hey, I'm gonna take you out.

Something like a little welcome to the neighborhood.

I appreciate that, but you got kids at home.

Yeah, but they live with their mother.

I get to see them like once a month. You know how it is.

Come on. You'd rather drink alone?

No. No, I wouldn't. You're on.

There you go. Thank you.

What is he wearing?

Really? Ew.

Are you in line? Thanks.

After you.

Eddie! What's going on?

How are you? I'm Edward.

Please meet Leah.

Leah? Nice to meet you. How are you?

This is Andrea.

Andrea. Pleasure. How are you?

You have very nice taste in friends, Anton.

Well done. Thank you very much.

Now, what were we talking about?

They were asking me what you do besides trying to play ball.

Nothing. I'm retired.

How old are you?

I was born September 20, 1980, in Phoenix, Arizona.

That's specific.

That's specific. Very specific.

Actually, I started a company, and then I sold it later. Doesn't matter.

Are they giving something away in there? What's with the line?

I love this song.

I love this song.

She's incredible.

She's a guy, isn't she? Yeah.

Are you okay? I am. I'm fine.

I just haven't seen anything like that in about 52 years.

You're weird.

Gorgeous.

Where are you going?

Hello.

Hello, Claire?

Yes, this is Claire.

Hello?

Who is this?

WO You like it when Daddy's home? Me, too.

Hey, baby.

She's sleeping.

I see this little girl. She can't be more than five or six.

And somehow I know that she's the daughter of this woman.

Something's wrong. She's sick.

She's expecting me to help her.

Well, you mentioned that you missed taking your medication.

Once.

Just one? Yes.

Well, that would account for the intensity of your hallucination.

No, this wasn't a hallucination. I knew her.

Oh, yes, I understand that it might seem that way

given your unresolved feelings for your own daughter,

but what you're experiencing is simply

a confused composite of old memories

fueled by your own very real emotions.

Now, for example, this town with the water tower

with the pumpkin painted on it

is likely someplace that you visited as a child.

And this Latina woman?

Well, a one-night stand long since forgotten, I'm sure.

I never said she was Latina.

Hmm?

I never said she was Latina.

Hmm.

Here.

What is this?

Hawaii. A change of scenery.

Yes, I'm afraid I've kept you cooped up in here for far too long,

and I'm sorry about that.

But for the week that you're gone,

I'm doubling your dose of medication.

Now you remember to take it, and I assure you

these unpleasant episodes will soon be behind you.

All right?

All right.

Heavenly Father, we thank you for the glorious hope

and for the great consolation.

In the name of the Father, the Son, and the Holy Ghost.

Morning, Mr. Kidner. May I?

Hi.

Come on.

Come on.

Hey. Hi. How can I help you?

Change of plans. When's the next flight to St. Louis?

St. Louis.

Destination 200 yards on the left.

Destination 100 yards on the left.

Hello?

Put it down and get out, now.

If you're looking for insurance money, you're not gonna find any.

I don't want your money.

I'm gonna turn around now.

Please don't move. Please just take a deep breath.

I'm gonna turn around. Okay? Please try and relax.

Take your finger off the trigger. Okay? Is that you?

Please take your finger off the trigger.

It's okay.

It's okay.

Oh, my God! How is this possible?

Try to breathe. Take a deep breath.

How is this possible? Put the gun down.

I'm sorry. I'm sorry. I don't know what you're talking about.

Try to breathe, it's okay. Mark.

Oh, my God. It's okay. Just try to take a breath.

Oh, my God. It's you.

It's all right. It's all right.

How is that possible? I don't know.

Hey! Are you expecting somebody?

Did you bring somebody back to the house with you?

No. No.

Did you bring anybody back? What are you talking about?

No! I don't... What are you... Mr. Kidner?

Okay, just... What's happening?

Shh! Quiet. Wait, Mark!

Mr. Kidner? Shh, shh.

Mr. Kidner? Open the door, please.

Mr. Kidner. Could you open the door?

Whoa.

Mr. Kidner! Put the gun down. Okay?

I'm just here to help you. No.

Argh! Get your hands off me! Hands off me. Calm down!

Calm down.

Eddie. Hey, it's okay, man.

Let him go.

You work for Albright?

I'm still your friend.

Albright, me, we just want what's best for you.

This woman thinks her husband's dead.

They told me the body was grown in a lab.

Why don't you sit down?

Please.

That was his choice.

It was the only way to save his kid's life.

You gave them money? Come on, man.

Insurance wouldn't step up, so we took care of things.

It was the only way to get the little girl back on her feet again.

You shouldn't have come here, Eddie.

This doesn't concern you. Like hell it doesn't! You took a man's life!

Hey, nobody took anything.

You're a businessman. Right? You understand that.

The kid, Anna, she's alive thanks to you.

That's bullshit.

I could have cut that guy a check.

Really? But would you have?

Eddie, I get that you're disappointed.

You thought you were buying a new car,

and it turns out it had a few miles on it.

How can you be so glib, like nothing happened?

"A few miles on it."

You know that the Doc says

each patient is critical to the program.

Yeah. Fuck him.

You don't exist without us.

You took a leap without a net.

You really believe that, Anton?

I warned you.

You know who I used to be?

You like to win. You're gonna be very disappointed.

There's a car outside. I suggest you get in it.

The woman?

She's not your problem.

It'll look like an accident.

You okay? I need to take the medicine.

Just relax. I'm gonna use the bathroom.

That's enough.

Hey, Gary.

Ahhh!

No! Put the gun down! Put that down. Put that down.

He shot me!

The Doc wants him alive, okay?

Go to the front. Go in the front.

Hey, Eddie! Eddie, I'm not gonna hurt you.

Eddie? Don't shoot, man.

Eddie, I'm putting my gun down.

I'm not trying to hurt you. I'm gonna come in.

I'm coming in. It's just me. I'm gonna show you my hands. All right?

Touching the knob.

Look, look.

Do not shoot.

Eddie.

See, look.

You didn't have to do that. We were on the same team.

Ahhh!

Shoot him!

Light him up!

Hey, hey, hey.

Wake up! Wake up!

Damian!

We're gonna burn you!

Burn them up!

Okay, okay.

Come on.

Mark, can you just stop?

Wait.

Mark, just stop!

Madeline, not now.

Madeline? What happened to Maddie?

I don't feel well, we gotta keep moving.

Mark, you were just dead. They told me you drowned.

What happened? Mark, we need to call the police.

No! No. No police.

I made a deal for Anna.

Disappearing was part of it.

Why?

In exchange for the money, I agreed to do things.

Things only a dead man could get away with.

Okay, we gotta keep moving. What?

Let's go. Come on. No.

You bastard! How can you do that to me?

Hey! Just stop! No, I thought you were dead!

Hey, Maddie! Hey!

I didn't want you to have to make that choice.

At least I don't think I did,

between your husband and your daughter.

Okay?

You bastard.

I thought you were dead.

Oh, my God! Anna. What?

Anna's in school, Mark.

Mark!

I hope she's strong enough to blow them out.

You can do it, Pumpkin.

Did you make a wish, Pumpkin?

I wished for Daddy to teach me how to swim.

WO You're not supposed to say. Now it won't come true.

Hey, that's not nice.

Is that true?

No, Pumpkin. Of course not.

I'll teach you as soon as you get better.

Shit!

He didn't.

Daddy! I knew it! I knew it! I knew it!

Oh!

Mom was crying every night, and I told her not to worry.

I told her you'd come back.

I love you, Daddy.

I love you, too, Pumpkin.

Okay, hey! Time to go. Come on.

Daddy? Do you like my hair?

Hey. Get in here and spit it out.

You don't talk with your mouth full.

Daddy?

What? Yes, sweetie.

Do you like my hair?

What?

Do you like my hair? It grew longer.

It's beautiful.

Come on. Go get ready for bed.

What's with all these nice clothes?

They made me remove it.

Listen, tomorrow morning, you and Anna...

Is there someplace that I can take you? A friend's house?

If you think I'm letting my eyes off you... Mark?

What are you looking for?

Shit! Mark!

Sorry.

Just tell me what's the matter...

I just need a gulp of fresh air!

Come on.

This guy...

I am talking about a future where the aged and infirm can shed their prisons.

A future where the fate of a healthy mind...

Son of a bitch!

This guy...

...failing body.

Yeah, Professor Jensen, do you really think that old people...

This guy-

Hold on there, Mark.

Pumpkin.

You wanna say bye to Daddy?

Did I tell you what Anna said to me today?

Pleased to meet you, Mr. Bitwell.

Hello, Mark. Mark! Wake up.

Lie down, please. Comfortable?

Mark!

Mark! Wake up.

Hey. I'm fine.

You were on the ground.

I know. I'm fine.

Do you need a doctor? No.

No.

It's over. It's over.

What's over?

Nothing.

Mark!

Please! Talk to me!
