You need to tell me everything you know
about the shop, and who's unhappy.
I've been hearing a lot of awful stories
coming out of that world lately.
You have no idea.
ELON: Her real name's Jane Mills.
She got recruited by some black ops division of the CIA.
If you cross this woman,
she won't hesitate.
You said you think she was trying to cover her tracks.
STELLA: There's a virus that's just ripping through
the entire network right now.
It was doing great.
But Izzy, she stepped in. Look, I'm sorry.
- AGENT STROUD: I'm sorry. - (GUNSHOT)
- We can't trust you anymore. - You supposed to have my back.
NICK: He threatened to kill me,
so let's not act like he's the victim.
MARA: He's your friend.
No, I don't have any friends. I have you, I have ArakNet.
Well, now, you just have ArakNet.
GABE: We gotta give 'em something in return, bro.
My boys?
MR. MORALES: Izzy, you see the news?
REPORTER: Again, if you're just joining us ,
there has been some sort of chemical weapon
that has been detonated in the heart of downtown Los Angeles,
right near Pershing Square.
STROUD: He did fine.
If Isabelle hadn't grown a conscience,
we'd all be in the clear by now.
She doesn't have any proof, as far as I know. But...
she is definitely compromised.
I understand.
She'll be dealt with then.
I'll let you know when it's done.

I thought we would get married and have children.
I don't know how it go to be like this with you sleeping on the couch,
and looking for other places, but it's not okay.
I love you, I'm crazy about you.
I don't want to be without you.
Is this because Ronald's coming back to the office tomorrow?
Because you're worried that my dad is gonna have that vote, and...
and you need me on your side.
Is that really what you think of me?

okay.
I'm gonna take a shower,

I will.

but what does that mean? Any ideas?
Also, I feel like we missed the boat on some A.R.

Let's, uh... we should end the meeting for a little bit.

Okay, yeah but it's not live yet, right?

You can't squash it, we gotta come out in front of this thing.

You're blaming this on my dick?
Yeah, your name is all over this thing.
You're groping assistants? You're offering them drugs?! You...
You've been pullin' that shit

- Bullshit, bro. Bullshit. - No! It's not bullshit, you know what's bullshit?
