00:05Previously on The Hunting Party
00:07It's called The Pit
00:07Home to the most dangerous and violent criminals in history
00:10All of whom the world believes are dead
00:12Or at least it was
00:13Until the blast hit
00:16Shane deserved to know the truth
00:18What are you going to tell him?
00:19Hey, we found your serial killer mom
00:21And she happens to be our boss
00:22I don't know, but I'll find the right words
00:24You were impressive
00:25Thank you, sir
00:27My name's John
00:28By the way
00:29Jonathan Mitchell Peck
00:31I read your file
00:32I've been thinking a lot about that
00:34And I should never have kept that from you or the team
00:36I am done looking for her
00:37You don't want to find your mom?
00:39Welcome
00:39My name is Noah Cyrus
00:59Oh, wait, can you make one of those heart design things?
01:01I want to post it
01:03Maybe a star
01:04No, wait, a flower
01:06Like an orchid
01:07They don't really teach us how to do that
01:10I can make a swirl
01:12That's just so basic
01:14Just try a flower
01:18It's already half swirl
01:19I mean, if you have to make a fresh one
01:21It's totally fine
01:21I will pay for it
01:22Do you mind?
01:24There are other people in line
01:26Shoot
01:27Oh my gosh, I forgot that I have hot yoga in 15
01:30Don't worry though
01:31When I post this
01:31I'm going to totally make your cafe go viral
01:36Sorry for that
01:37What can I get you?
01:38Hi
01:39Uh, drip coffee please
01:42Toach Tina here
01:43And it is time to reveal
01:45The newest addition
01:46To Tina's
01:47Blessed to impress list
01:48First off
01:49I need you guys to go
01:51No, not go
01:52Run
01:52To the cutest new coffee bar I just found
01:55Bernice's Coffee
01:56No, seriously people
01:58It's the best oat milk latte
01:59I've had all year
02:01Whoever's feeling blessed
02:03Say flesh
02:05Also, this new raspberry lip gloss
02:08It makes my lips just feel so
02:23Hey, did Peck tell you what this was all about?
02:25Uh, no
02:26But when I get a call to come to the command center
02:28It's usually not for breakfast
02:29Right, but when it's an inmate
02:30I always get a heads up
02:33You didn't?
02:35As Agent Hassani will explain
02:37We have a problem
02:40Last night the convoy transporting Noah Cyrus was attacked
02:44Everyone, including Cyrus, was killed
02:48Do we know who did it?
02:50Why would somebody do this?
02:52Could it have been one of Cyrus' followers that we didn't know about?
02:55This is way too complicated for someone at the 13th hour
02:57Who else knows about the convoy?
02:59Just my people at CIA
03:00Well, clearly you're mistaken
03:03Someone outside of this command knew exactly when and where to ambush a covert prisoner transport
03:09So either a member of your team is talking or one of you is
03:18Colonel
03:18As it stands, the Pentagon has insisted upon a certain balance of powers in the recovery efforts
03:24So that means, Agent Hassani, prisoner transport and relocation remains under your purview
03:30For now
03:33I don't think I need to impress upon you all the seriousness of this operational failure
03:42Sorry to interrupt, Colonel
03:43We just got a hit on another inmate
03:48No more mistakes
03:49I expect perfection
03:51Dismissed
03:57Inmate H-89, Lou Kaplan
03:59A.K.A. the Selfie Slayer
04:01Not to brag, but low-key
04:04I created a program to alert me if any inmates logged on to their dormant social media platforms
04:09Wow
04:09Very clever
04:10Thank you
04:11It uses malware software I designed to bypass VPNs
04:14It looks like Lou just logged on to his old SnapMax account for the first time since 2019 in midtown
04:22Manhattan
04:22I guess even pit inmates can't stay off social media
04:25SnapMax, that's the one that's like if Instagram and TikTok had a baby, right?
04:29Well, I don't know, we have a strict no social media policy at my house
04:32That's fine
04:33It says here that Lou was a gifted coder and one of the original software designers for SnapMax
04:39He had some pretty lofty ideals about social media fostering community and empathy
04:44I'm sensing a turn coming
04:46Well, he wanted his technology to bring people together
04:49Instead, according to him, the app, quote, became a breeding ground for vanity, vitriol, and self-isolating behavior
04:57So I'm guessing the nickname the Selfie Slayer is not a metaphor
05:01Hizmo was interesting
05:02Despite the fact that he carefully selected and then stalked these victims for days
05:06The kills themselves were semi-improvised and always public
05:10This one he threw into oncoming traffic as she was live streaming
05:13And then another he beat to death in Prospect Park using his own tripod
05:17He claimed that his six murders were a message
05:19A way to wake the world up to the dangers of social media
05:21The Post wrote a whole expose on him
05:23Turning him into a social media sensation himself
05:26An ironic poster child for disruption
05:28They even had merch with his face on it outside the courthouse during his trial
05:32Gross
05:33Yeah
05:33If he's already logged back into SnapMax again, he's probably stalking victims
05:38Let's head out
05:44Okay, time to shine
05:47Just remember, be bright, be bold, be Becky
05:59Hello, fellow bakers
06:01It's your friend, Baking with Becky
06:03And today, I've got a big treat for you all
06:05We're making banana nut muffins
06:08Now, I know these look a bit ripe
06:12But don't you worry
06:13That's the secret to yum
06:15But before we start, I want to make sure you hit that subscribe button
06:19To stay in the loop for all my best new recipes
06:21Alright, it's baking time
06:24Now, you're going to want to start with two cups of all-purpose flour
06:31Next, we're going to crack two eggs
06:59You guys get the feeling Lazarus knows more about this convoy hit than she's letting off?
07:04I mean, her pointing fingers at us is definitely theater
07:08She knows something
07:09So do I
07:10So do I
07:11Sarus's convoy deviated from its planned route last night
07:16Maybe they saw the attack coming?
07:18Well, there's no report of contact before the firefight
07:23Okay, so now we have two mysteries
07:24Who attacked the convoy
07:26And how it got deviated in the first place
07:47What comes next?
07:49The eggs
07:51Then why are you looking at me?
07:54Crack the eggs
08:13Bravo
08:16Okay, now Sam
08:27Becky
08:29Say it
08:35Hi, everyone
08:37This is going to be my final post
09:04I want to try to put this in terms that someone as simple as you can understand
09:10I had the biggest tech companies in the entire world engaged in heated bidding wars to bring me to their
09:18teams
09:20Instead, I chose SnapMax
09:21A no-name startup
09:24Because I believed in their mission
09:27Also, Linda Cranston personally came to my home and practically begged me on her hands and knees to work for
09:33her
09:33We designed SnapMax
09:36We designed SnapMax as a tool to help our users connect
09:38But after SnapMax launched, a very unfortunate truth became abundantly clear to me
09:43Most people
09:45Are basically rats
09:48But it's worse than that because we have the intellectual capacity
09:53But we don't use it
09:56All the likes and the clicks and the comments and the shares
10:01Jonesing for another hit of dopamine
10:04All right, just click, click, click, click, click, click
10:05Just for dopamine
10:06All right, just a little hit
10:08Tell me, are you on social media?
10:11Yeah, of course you are
10:13This guy seems like a real winner
10:15Yeah
10:16Hey, how can you be so whiny and crazy at the same time?
10:19Oh, it's a skill
10:21Did you guys know his account has 10 million followers on SnapMax?
10:25Huh?
10:26The world thinks this guy's been dead for years
10:28Still, he has more followers than the people he's killed
10:30You know, I'm all aboard the social media's destroying society train
10:33But it's not a cause worthy of murder
10:36Lou rationalized his murders through his message
10:38He warned people of the dangers of social media
10:41He thought it was a just cause
10:43Which is why his therapist in the pit tried to humanize his victims
10:45Just or not, these were people
10:47That tracks
10:48Capsman's file says he was given Whitmore's empathy drug
10:51I've seen a lot of that
10:52It was effective
10:54As long as he maintained his dosage
10:56Oh, I must have worn off
10:57Morales got a ping on a body drop
10:59Four blocks from where he logged in
11:12Why is the DEA so interested in a dead influencer?
11:15Oh, um
11:16Becky Roman is actually an undercover informant
11:19For a sting operation we're running
11:22If you say so, buddy
11:25Any details on cause of death?
11:28Asphyxiation
11:29Death by banana muffin
11:32That's definitely a new one
11:35Well, uh, we're gonna need the place to ourselves there, pal
11:40Thank you
11:47Okay
11:49So Becky was clearly in the middle of making a video when Lou killed her
11:52That speaks to his old M.O.
11:54But
11:56All of his previous kills were quick and improvised
12:00In public
12:02This feels more intentional
12:04Is that because of how he desecrated the body post-mortem?
12:08I mean, he savored the chance to humiliate her
12:10That kind of viciousness speaks to an increased level of emotional engagement
12:14Well, we got loose therapy to thank for that
12:18All of the other kills were successful influencers
12:20I mean, Becky's got a decent following, but nothing like the others
12:23So
12:24Why her?
12:30Hey, Morales, what's up?
12:32A new video was just uploaded to Becky's Snap Max
12:35Well, that seems unlikely
12:36I'm sending it to you now
12:37Thanks
12:45Hi, everyone
12:47This is gonna be my final post
12:51And to start, I, uh
12:53I need to apologize
12:56I haven't been honest with you
12:58The truth is
13:03The truth is I hate baking
13:06It's messy
13:07And it never turns out right
13:08No matter how close I stick to the recipe
13:12I'm not special
13:15I'm just a nobody
13:16And a liar
13:20But I hate everything about what social media has turned me into
13:23This is tough to watch
13:25I am a fraud
13:30And if we're being honest
13:31Yeah, I might as well tell you
13:33Um, I don't even really eat baked goods
13:37I'm gluten-free
13:40Yeah
13:41How messed up is that?
13:44So now, this is the part where normally I'd swap out
13:48The burnt muffins for the pretty store-bought woods
13:53But not today
13:55I guess that's growth
13:59Okay
14:01So then, um
14:04For the last time
14:05You need to take this down
14:06We can't do that
14:07That'll tip off Lou that we're onto him
14:08Just remember
14:10Make every day sweet
14:17You think she knew Lou was gonna post this?
14:20Yeah, I do
14:22I think Lou got Becky to make that final video before he killed her
14:25And he forced her to post it as some kind of warning?
14:28This is what social media can do
14:30No, this was a confession
14:32He wanted Becky to confront how social media had turned her into a dishonest version of herself
14:36How did Lou know she was a fake?
14:38I don't know
14:40But I think he wanted Becky's followers to take it to heart
14:44We need to figure out how he targeted her before he sets his sights on the next victim
15:30Show me where that is
15:31Yep
15:33I don't understand
15:34Who would want to hurt Becky?
15:36I know this must be hard
15:37Were the two of you close?
15:38She was a good neighbor
15:39Very focused on building her brand
15:41Bet the building smelled nice
15:43What with her bacon all the time
15:44Yeah, when she wasn't setting off smoke alarms
15:47I mean, she was a sweet girl
15:49But let's just say
15:50I made sure those fire extinguishers were up to code
15:52No, that's good
15:53Uh, when's the last time you two spoke?
15:55Yesterday
15:56She was all excited
15:57Because someone was coming over this morning
15:59To do a, uh, you know, a collab
16:01Sorry, there was another influencer over this morning?
16:04And apparently it was kind of a big deal
16:06Whoever this person was
16:07She said she had a huge following
16:09Okay, uh, do you know this person's name by any chance?
16:13Yeah
16:13It was kind of dumb
16:16Miss Confection
16:22Oh, hey
16:23Check this out
16:24Becky and Miss Confection have been messaging for the past three weeks
16:28And their DMs really took off
16:29Well, it looks like Miss Confection started her channel two months ago
16:34She's already racked up over 100,000 followers
16:37That's not normal, is it?
16:38It is if you buy them
16:42Miss Confection was supposed to meet Becky at her apartment this morning
16:44And if she did, she either found Becky dead or she
16:46Or she found Lou
16:47And he gets two influencers for the price of one
16:49Okay, her real name is Christina Custodio
16:51Morales just sent me her address
16:52It's ten minutes away
16:54Here, I'll punch it in
17:12Miss Custodio?
17:15Christina, you home?
17:18Check
17:31Claire
17:35What the hell is all this?
17:40This is Lou's place
17:43How did he afford all of this?
17:45Bot farming, stealing and selling identities
17:48Hacking into bank accounts
17:49If you're a good enough coder
17:50Making a fast buck is never a problem
17:57Everything's still running
17:58I think he saw us coming
18:06Hey guys
18:07I cannot wait for y'all to see my latest post
18:09I've never tried making these before
18:11But I've been wanting to make them forever
18:14Sourdough, spinach, feta, croissants
18:16Now I know what you may be thinking
18:17Are croissants already tough enough?
18:20Well, like I like to say
18:22When the going gets tough
18:24The tough get baking
18:25So let's give it a whirl
18:27Miss Convection style
18:31What the hell?
18:33Miss Convection isn't real
18:34What do you mean?
18:35It's a fake avatar Lou created to catfish Becky
18:39She doesn't exist
18:51Miss Convection is real
18:51Miss Convection is real
18:51Miss Convection is real
18:52Miss Convection is real
18:52Miss Convection is real
18:52Miss Convection is real
18:53Miss Convection is real
18:55Miss Convection is real
18:56Miss Convection is real
18:56Miss Convection is real
18:57Miss Convection is real
18:57Miss Convection is real
18:58Miss Convection is real
18:58Miss Convection is real
18:58Miss Convection is real
18:58Miss Convection is real
18:58Miss Convection is real
18:58Miss Convection is real
18:59Miss Convection is real
18:59Miss Convection is real
18:59Miss Convection is real
18:59Miss Convection is real
19:00Miss Convection is real
19:01Miss Convection is real
19:03Miss Convection is real
19:09Miss Convection is real
19:22Okay, go.
19:32How's it look?
19:33Like she's you.
19:35Or, um, you're her.
19:38I don't know.
19:39Try saying something again.
19:43Abracadabra.
19:45How does this even work?
19:47Well, I've hacked into his system,
19:49and people like Lou use AI avatar generators
19:51to create virtual people like Miss Confection.
19:54It happens all the time.
19:56They're so human-like, it's hard to tell the difference.
19:58But Lou then used advanced generative video creation tools
20:01to make his avatar do whatever he wants,
20:03like Miss Confection baking.
20:05Just like those deep fake girlfriends people fall in love with.
20:09Yes.
20:10What?
20:11Saw a documentary.
20:13It's not just fake girlfriends.
20:15AI avatars like Lil Mikaela do fashion campaigns,
20:18brand integrations, you name it.
20:19And she's 100% not a real person.
20:22And judging from Miss Confection's comment and DM history,
20:2499% of the people that follow her
20:26don't have any idea she's AI.
20:27Hi.
20:31Whoa.
20:33Please tell me these aren't influencers that Lou's targeting.
20:36No.
20:37These are all avatars he's created.
20:41What?
20:42What's going on?
20:43What is this?
20:57Morales?
20:58Peck?
20:59Do you guys have anything?
21:00Nothing.
21:01Who are you?
21:05Yes.
21:07You.
21:08Blondie.
21:13What are you, Death?
21:17I said, who are you?
21:29No.
21:31No.
21:34No.
21:35No.
21:36No.
21:37No.
21:37No.
21:38No.
21:42Morales.
21:43Here.
21:44Use this.
21:45Oh, I hear a godsend.
21:51Oh, I should have seen this coming.
21:52That was careless.
21:53The moment our team found Lou's computer still on,
21:55I should have known it was a trap.
21:57What exactly is going on?
21:59Lou set a tripwire, and I tripped it.
22:03Damn it.
22:04Lou's virus fried the entire server.
22:07Even the backups got hit.
22:08How long do you think it'll take before we get our computers up and running?
22:14Hey.
22:16This isn't your fault.
22:19Just get us back online.
22:21Okay?
22:22Okay.
22:23Okay.
22:31I'm an FBI agent.
22:33We know Ms. Confection is an avatar you made up, Lou.
22:37Well, kudos to you then.
22:39That's more than I can say for Becky.
22:41Huh?
22:41Well, but what can you expect from minds that have begun to rot from the inside out?
22:47You really think that you're going to convince people social media is the problem when you're the one out there
22:52using it to kill them?
22:56Oh, I actually disagree.
22:59You know, we used to reward creativity.
23:02We used to reward innovation.
23:03And now we're just obsessed with our own reflections online.
23:11God, humanity is going down the drain so fast.
23:15Addiction, depression, anxiety.
23:18Our lives feel broken, not because they are, but because nothing can compete with edited, rehearsed perfection.
23:25God, we pay more attention to the little lights in our phone than we do to the real world around
23:30us.
23:32People think that social media is not bad for you, but they're wrong.
23:36So what?
23:37You're just going to kill influencers?
23:38That's your answer?
23:39You know that these are people, right?
23:42People?
23:44Oh, barely.
23:45Becky's was a pitiful existence.
23:49Look, she was a lab rat.
23:51She was addicted to the dopamine drug of likes.
23:56I gave humanity a beautiful gift, a gift to unite us.
24:01And people like Becky turned that into a cesspool of narcissistic banality.
24:07She didn't know what to like, what to believe in, until it went viral.
24:12So you know what I did?
24:13I freed Becky from the maze.
24:17Hmm?
24:17And I will keep helping people like Becky until humanity wakes up.
24:29Is something funny?
24:30Yeah, Lou, some free advice for you.
24:32If you're in a wage war and narcissistic banality, then maybe don't speak in cliches.
24:36I am speaking truth to power.
24:41And I think what scares you is that my message is resonating.
24:45People like what I say.
24:48They're tired of sleepwalking through the abyss.
24:51Millions have seen my face.
24:53Millions have heard my voice.
24:56Since I was captured by somebody much, much smarter than you.
24:59Truth to power.
25:01Lou, you are lying to yourself.
25:03You want to talk about being a fraud?
25:04You're not mad at influencers.
25:06You're mad because you felt ignored your whole life.
25:09And these snuff films, those are your banana, not muffins.
25:14You don't know anything about me.
25:18But, uh, maybe I'll teach you something, huh?
25:25Rory.
25:26Wait, who's that other guy?
25:27That's his next victim.
25:29Hey, it's time to take your juice.
25:33Lou, no!
25:34Wait!
25:36Hang in there, buddy.
25:37Ooh, rock hard.
25:40You're gonna be famous, Rory.
25:43Rory.
25:46My name is Rebecca Henderson.
25:47I'm with the FBI.
25:48Can you tell us who you are and where you are right now?
25:52I'm Rory.
25:54Rory LeSquadreau.
25:56I'm in 924 Samuelson Court.
26:00Rory, we're on our way.
26:01We're sending an ambulance.
26:02I can't die.
26:04I don't want to die, please.
26:19Rory.
26:19Miss Donnie?
26:21Got him.
26:22Clearing.
26:23He's ODing on steroids.
26:26Shane, come down.
26:28Rory, can you hear me?
26:29Can you hear me?
26:31Ambulance is on the way.
26:32You're gonna be fine.
26:34Got you, Rory.
26:35All right, let's lay him down.
26:37His head.
26:38Yep.
26:42Claire, is he breathing?
26:45Barely.
26:46Ambulance is on the way, Rory.
26:47Just hang in there.
26:49We got you.
26:50You're gonna be all right.
26:55So you didn't catch Lou, but you did save Rory.
26:58That's no small feat.
26:59Lou left Rory's laptop.
27:01Trying to get in, but I'm definitely locked out.
27:05Look, if he's following the same pattern as he did with Becky, his next move is gonna be
27:08to upload Rory's final post from wherever he is right now.
27:11When he does that, we need to track his location.
27:13Can we do that?
27:14Uh, yes.
27:15As soon as I get the central server back up.
27:17How long's that gonna take?
27:19Let's go with as fast as I can.
27:21All right.
27:21I believe in you.
27:22Good luck.
27:22Come on.
27:26No, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no.
27:28What is it?
27:28What can I do?
27:29Lou's virus fried the entire system, but the physical server I initially programmed
27:33when we started the command center shouldn't have been affected, except that it's not here.
27:40Someone must have replaced it and thrown it out when we were sidelined.
27:44I asked for them to be upgraded.
27:47You do this?
27:49These are supposed to be better.
27:51Oh, okay.
27:53Uh, well, unless they have them lying around somewhere, I'm gonna have to factory reset this
27:57whole situation, which is time that we don't have.
27:59The old servers are here.
28:00They're here?
28:00What do you mean?
28:01They're military servers with top secret information passing through them.
28:03They weren't thrown out.
28:05Where are they?
28:07Uh, yeah, come.
28:10Still not locked?
28:12Nope.
28:14Hey, side note.
28:15Did you ever get anywhere with that track and field theory about Lazarus?
28:18You know, running the five-minute mile?
28:19Any high school records?
28:21No, it was a dead end.
28:26Bummer.
28:30Okay, um.
28:33What?
28:34So.
28:35Didn't find anything in there.
28:36Get into Rory's laptop yet?
28:38No, just looking for the password.
28:40How about you?
28:40Find anything useful?
28:41Uh, lots of swords.
28:43Wag.
28:44That's not my style.
28:46Muscle Marco.
28:50That's one of Lou's fake avatars, and they were supposed to meet next week.
28:54So Lou knew that we were on to him, and he came here earlier to attack Rory.
28:58Well, if that's the case, then everybody Lou's been catfishing is in serious danger today.
29:05Which one is it?
29:07Which one is it?
29:07Where is it?
29:14Hey, is this thing gonna start?
29:15It's only two years old.
29:20All right, now you can find Lou, if I can hack into the main server for SnapMax before he uploads
29:26the video.
29:28What's good, everyone?
29:29Uh, is your boy, uh, is your boy Rip Rory here?
29:31This is gonna be my final post.
29:33My workouts are legit.
29:37But, you know this muscle that you see here?
29:40How this progress...
29:43Are not.
29:46They're not.
29:47Man, I'm on gear.
29:49What am I doing?
29:50I'm a juicy man.
29:52I'm sorry to tell you family, I'm juicy.
29:55You know, I was so wrapped up in this.
29:59Did you even hear me try?
30:00Just stop hovering.
30:00All right.
30:01Sorry.
30:02He's uploading it now.
30:03Because it's so hard to stay true to yourself when you...
30:06When you feel like you gotta keep up with everybody else.
30:10It's so hard, man.
30:20Boom, I got him.
30:21Okay, uh, the IP address is 109 East 42nd Street.
30:27That's the headquarters for SnapMax in Manhattan.
30:31Boom, watch, right!
30:34Boom, watch, right!
30:36Boom, watch, right!
30:40Boom, watch, right!
30:42Boom, watch, right!
30:43Boom, watch, right!
30:45Boom, watch, right!
30:47Boom, watch, right!
30:49Boom, watch, right!
30:51Boom, watch, right!
30:54Boom, watch, right!
30:55Boom, watch, right!
30:56Boom, watch, right!
30:57Boom, watch, right!
30:57What's wrong with nothing else?
30:58Scared of blood and conscience?
31:00Boom, watch, right!
31:02Boom, watch, right!
31:03It's a nice mask.
31:05How much do you want for it?
31:06Oh, my God!
31:09So Lou uploaded Rory's video from the SnapMax headquarters.
31:12Looks like SnapMax just reached a billion subscribers.
31:15Their celebration was today.
31:17Every bigwig from the company would have been there.
31:20Including Linda Cranston?
31:21Yeah, she was a keynote speaker.
31:23Why does that name ring a bell?
31:24Lou mentioned her in his therapy videos.
31:26She was the CEO of SnapMax that hired him to build the app,
31:29then used it to turn it into this vanity-fueled empire.
31:32Lou's going after Linda.
31:34Directing us to Rory's place was just a distraction
31:36to get us off the scent of his ultimate prize,
31:38and if he is targeting Linda like he did with the others,
31:40he would have messaged her already.
31:42Morales, I need you to scan all the DMs from Lou's fake avatar,
31:45see if there's any messages between him and Linda Cranston.
31:49You know, I think that the CEO of a major social media company
31:52would be too tech-savvy to get catfished.
31:54Huh, C-suite makes you soft.
31:56No, Peck's right.
31:58He would have had to up his game with Cranston.
31:59It may not look like catfishing that he did with the others,
32:02but there's got to be something.
32:04Hey, there's this guy, Stuart Wyatt.
32:06He's been messaging Linda Cranston for weeks.
32:16Funny, you look like one of those protesters.
32:19Okay, so Lou's pretending to be a real person
32:21because Linda knew this guy.
32:23Yeah, and it looks like he knew her intimately.
32:27Based on the messages that we're reading,
32:29Linda and the real Stuart had an affair years ago
32:31when they worked with Lou in the early stages of Snap Max.
32:35Get in here, Stu.
32:40Office romances, they're never a secret,
32:42and Lou knew that being a fake Stuart
32:44was the best way to catfish Linda.
32:45Well, let me guess.
32:46They're planning a rendezvous?
32:48Their last messages were 30 minutes ago.
32:50She told him to come to her home.
32:56I can't believe we're really doing this.
32:59It's been so long.
33:01Come on.
33:02Take off the mask.
33:04It might be fun to leave it on.
33:06Your voice sounds different.
33:09A lot about me is different.
33:11You could say that I'm a whole new Stu.
33:14Okay, I can't take any more teasing.
33:16I want to see your face.
33:19Oh, God!
33:21Surprise.
33:29You know, it is lovely light this high up.
33:37Okay.
33:39Just relax.
33:40Just connect with your followers.
33:43Hmm?
33:46Hello.
33:47I'm Linda Cranston,
33:49CEO of Snap Max.
33:53When I started this company,
33:56I said it would connect the entire world,
33:59create a better global community.
34:03But...
34:04But that was a lie.
34:08The truth is,
34:10community doesn't sell.
34:14Snap Max uses a proprietary algorithm
34:17to boost users who post the most polarizing content.
34:22Our AI micro-targets users with media that will enrage them.
34:27That's a lot of technical jargon.
34:29That's a lot of technical jargon, Linda.
34:30How about a little simpler for the lab rats in your maze?
34:34We promote division.
34:38But why?
34:40Why would you do that, Linda Cranston, CEO of Snap Max?
34:48Because anger goes viral.
34:53Self-righteousness is addictive.
34:56Everyone wants to think that only they can see the truth.
35:00I run a company with shareholders.
35:04No excuses!
35:07The truth for once, Linda,
35:10for once in your life,
35:14you wanted to get rich.
35:18Yes!
35:19I wanted to get rich!
35:22And you didn't care
35:24how many little lab rats you hurt in the process, did you?
35:29You don't care.
35:30Tell them. Tell the rats.
35:32I didn't care.
35:37What about your children, Linda?
35:42Do you treat them like little lab rats?
35:45Oh, God.
35:46I don't even allow my children
35:48to use social media.
35:51None of us do.
35:54Pat, let go!
36:08Whoa, you don't want to do that!
36:09Who are you?
36:10We are the good guys.
36:12Linda put the gun down.
36:13Shoot her, Linda! Shoot her!
36:14Shut up!
36:14How is he still alive?
36:16They said he died in prison.
36:17Linda, lower your weapon.
36:19Just kill her, Linda! Kill her!
36:20Another word out of you.
36:22I need that phone.
36:25What?
36:26That recording.
36:27I need it.
36:28Now I need to destroy it.
36:29What's the matter, Linda?
36:30You're afraid people might see the real you for once?
36:33Shut up.
36:34Linda,
36:35that video will never see the light of day.
36:36You have my word on it.
36:38Your word.
36:38He's supposed to be dead.
36:41Because if that ever gets home, I'll be ruined.
36:44Give me the phone!
36:45Now!
36:45Linda,
36:47you don't want to hurt anyone, okay?
36:49You just think that you're out of options,
36:51but you're not.
36:51Whatever you've said,
36:52whatever you've done,
36:53it can be forgiven.
36:55There is a chance at redemption,
36:57but that chance goes away
36:58if you don't put the gun down.
37:03I'm sorry.
37:05I'm so sorry.
37:23I know you have a lot of questions,
37:24but it's been a long day,
37:25so right now,
37:26have a drink,
37:27take a bath.
37:28Tomorrow,
37:28someone's going to reach out
37:29about next steps.
37:31Okay?
37:33Okay.
37:50Knock, knock.
37:52Hey, you're still here.
37:55Yeah,
37:55I was just writing up a report.
37:56And don't worry,
37:57I left out the bit
37:58where you yelled at me.
37:59Well,
38:00you know,
38:00stay away from my servers.
38:03Now I know.
38:06How do we even write up
38:08the things that we see
38:08in this job anyway?
38:11Carefully.
38:19You're hovering again.
38:21I am.
38:23Is there anything else that you need?
38:31Are you going to ask me out or what?
38:34No.
38:38Maybe.
38:41I'm not even sure I'm allowed to,
38:43you know,
38:43given the boss-employee situation here.
38:46Oh,
38:47you think that I work for you.
38:51I have been told that,
38:53you know,
38:55I'm in charge.
38:58Is that right?
39:02Well,
39:03I think that we should settle this
39:04over a drink.
39:30Hey,
39:31what's up?
39:31What are you doing right now?
39:32Um, nothing. What's going on?
39:34You're on channel 9.
39:35What? Why?
39:36Quick, you're gonna love this.
39:38Just calm down.
39:39This is why.
39:41Effective immediately.
39:42I have decided to step down as CEO of SnapMax to focus on my family.
39:49Whoa.
39:49Yeah.
39:50That CEO speak for I did some shady stuff and now I'm bailing before anybody finds out.
39:55Noah Cyrus' convoy was attacked when it buried from the root at 2200 hours.
40:00Whoa, whoa, whoa.
40:00Whoa, slow down, listen to me.
40:02I'm asking you who authorized the change in the root.
40:04That's what I'm telling you, sir.
40:06I have it right here.
40:07That's impossible.
40:09Look again.
40:11Records show the prisoner transport was given field orders to reroute by agent in charge,
40:16Jacob Hassani.
40:24Okay, what about bad guy, Buster?
40:25No, I am not creating an account.
40:28Max Files.
40:29That's a good one.
40:30Stone Cold Bex.
40:32It's not your worst.
40:33You've had worse.
40:34All right, your turn.
40:35What about secret prison guard?
40:39No.
40:40Uh, ooh.
40:42Snack man.
40:43Snack man.
40:44Okay.
40:45I like that.
40:46I can get down with snack man.
40:49Well, snack man, my food is here, so I'm going to say good night.
40:55I'll see you tomorrow, okay?
40:57Okay, Stone Cold Bex.
40:59See you then.
41:00Good night.
41:13Hi, Jane.

41:27You're right.
41:28Captain America.
41:30Bye.
41:30Hi, Brenda.
41:36See you then.
41:37Bye.
41:38Bye.
41:42Bye.
