01:31.
01:34.
01:35.
01:38.
01:40.
02:08You
02:16Even off NZT, I decided to give Van Loon's files a shot
02:27They were hieroglyphs
02:33Hello?
02:34Kevin, it's Eddie
02:35Eddie?
02:36Listen, I can't make the meeting today
02:38What are you talking about?
02:40I can't come in today, I'm sick
02:42Yeah?
02:43Well, you can't have the flu right now
02:44I'll never give you this chance again
02:46I know, listen, I just
02:47I have all this
02:49Tad and analyze
02:51What have you been doing for the last day?
02:55Kevin, I don't
02:56Don't you get it?
02:57This is your test
02:58Yeah, well, I can't pass the test right now
03:01And how am I going to look if you don't?
03:04I know, listen, I just
03:05Shh, listen to me
03:06Pull yourself together
03:08Get down to the meeting
03:15Okay, okay
03:16I'll be there
03:18I'll be there
03:40Hey, how are you, Eddie?
03:42Good to see you again
03:44Sit down
03:49What do you know about Hank Atwood?
03:51Atwood, um
03:54He's an iconoclast
03:59That owns about half of Colorado
04:02So this is prepared, Eddie?
04:06Is this Atwood 101?
04:08Doesn't everybody know about Atwood?
04:10Where was he two years ago?
04:13Hmm?
04:15Nowhere
04:18Two years ago
04:19He wasn't even on Forbes' radar
04:22That was a great leap forward
04:24Right?
04:25I'm baffled by this guy
04:26Comes out of nowhere so strong
04:29Has me on the run
04:30Before I can even get to anybody in his camp
04:32Beats me out of two properties
04:42We're here in front of the hotel
04:44Where a woman
04:45Identified as Maria Windberg
04:47Was found dead in her room last night
04:49A victim of foul play
04:52Miss Windberg was a well-known socialite and model
04:55But was also known for her dedicated charity work around this meeting
04:59Police spent hours questioning hotel staff and patrons
05:02And an eyewitness reported seeing a man leaving the scene
05:05I'm gonna convince him that I can raise his game
05:07Got any ideas?
05:09What do you think?
05:12Hmm?
05:13All right, um
05:18You're not one of those kind of guys, are you, Eddie?
05:23We lose you if there's a screen in the room?
05:27These are tectonic plates that are shifting right under us
05:30Pardon me one second
05:53Was it possible?
05:55Could I have killed someone?
05:58Would it even me?
06:05Eddie?
06:06This is Melissa
06:07Listen, Vernon hasn't been giving you anything, has he?
06:10Because that stuff is dangerous
06:11Melissa?
06:12Melissa
06:13Hey, do you think that we can meet somewhere?
06:15I really need to talk to you
06:16We're talking now
06:17No, no, let's meet at, uh, Billy's on Grant at noon
06:20You can't see me, Eddie
06:22No, no, no
06:23Eddie, please
06:24Please, please come, please come
06:25I, I, I, it's important
06:27I, I really need to know what you're talking about
06:32I realized that there were other people who might know about NZT
06:35Vernon's other clients
06:54It's not that you're talking about NZT
06:54Oh, really?
06:55I, I, I, I, I...
07:02I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I...
07:06I, I, I, I, I, I...
07:15Yeah, hi man, please speak with Jerry Brady Jerry's in the hospital. He's what? Yeah, he's not doing well at
07:21all. Yeah, hello
07:23It's Paul Kaplan there
07:24Uh, no. No, he's not. Uh, Paul passed away three days ago. Oh my god, I'm so sorry. Yeah, he
07:33started getting headaches
07:34Then he collapsed at work. Now he's in the ICU. Okay, well, please give him my best. Thank you
07:39Of all the people I called, three were dead and the rest were sick
08:29Thank you
08:59Thank you
09:29Thank you
09:59Thank you
10:31Three were dead and the rest were sick
10:58Hello? Hello?
11:00Hello? Hello?
11:01Hello?
11:18Let's go.
11:45Go! Go!
12:13Hey.
12:17Melissa.
12:26Hey.
12:31Well, don't tell me I look good, because I know I didn't want you to see me this way.
12:39You look good.
12:41Oh, yeah.
12:43Yeah, I sort of got myself together.
12:46NZT will do that to you.
12:48What do you mean?
12:49I mean, I took it too.
12:52Ernie didn't tell you any of this, did he?
12:54No.
12:55Well, when he told me about this amazing new drug, I was like, down the hatch, and it
12:59was.
12:59It was amazing.
13:01You know, I read Brian Greene's The Elegant Universe in 45 minutes, and I understood
13:05it.
13:06My work rate increased just insanely overnight, and my boss started to hate me.
13:12They offered me his job, and then I got scared.
13:17Why?
13:19Because I'm not stupid.
13:20Nobody can operate at that level of mental activity and not crash.
13:26I stopped taking it.
13:28And?
13:29And I got sick.
13:31Headaches.
13:32You know, throwing up.
13:34So I went back to Vernon.
13:37He told me about all the people that were dying.
13:40How much have you been taking, Eddie?
13:43I've been taking a lot.
13:46Well, maybe...
13:47Maybe they've worked out the bugs.
13:49Maybe...
13:51Maybe this is a different batch.
13:53Yeah.
13:55You're off it right now, aren't you?
13:57Just finish your story.
13:58Well, I didn't take any more, and I didn't die.
14:03But after a while, I realized that I couldn't concentrate on anything for longer than ten minutes.
14:07I, uh...
14:08I missed deadlines, got lazy.
14:11Slow, so slow.
14:13That was two years ago.
14:17And I haven't been the same since.
14:24Do you have some left?
14:26Good.
14:27Well, you go home and you take it.
14:29You take the dose down, but you don't just stop.
14:31You'll die if you just stop.
14:33Try to take her off.
14:35Otherwise, the headaches are just the beginning.
14:40I have to go.
14:43Do you know who makes it?
14:44I don't know.
14:47I have to go.
14:51I don't know.
14:52I don't know.
14:53I don't know.
14:54No.
14:54No.
14:56No.
14:56No.
15:18Oh, shit.
15:19Listen, listen, listen, listen, listen, listen, listen, listen, listen, listen, okay, okay.
15:22Don't forget about me, huh?
15:23No, no, no.
15:24You have a black and you're not here.
15:26I'm here now.
15:28Good.
15:29Come on, get going.
15:31I can write you a check.
15:33Check.
15:34Check.
15:35Are you out of your mind?
15:37What do you think I am?
15:38Some financial institution?
15:39Oh, no, you're right.
15:40We just need to go to the bank.
15:46What do you got there?
15:52What is it?
15:53No, it's just aspirin.
15:54Don't look like no aspirin I ever see.
15:57It's something good, huh?
16:18I feel good, man.
16:20What's in this stuff?
16:22It's just vitamins and aspirin.
16:25You're full of shit, Eddie, baby.
16:31You're full of shit.
16:55I'm sorry.
16:57I'm sorry.
16:58Tyler, I gotta go.
16:59I'm sick.
17:03I'm sorry.
17:04I couldn't make it home.
17:06Let's get you to a hospital.
17:07No, no, no, no.
17:08I don't need...
17:09I need to get...
17:10It's really something.
17:12I need my pills.
17:14Eddie, what pills?
17:15I don't...
17:16Babe, it's complicated.
17:17What are you taking?
17:18Are you on drugs?
17:21It's...
17:22I had no choice.
17:24I told Lindy everything.
17:27So, all this energy of yours,
17:30all this focus,
17:31has been a drug.
17:32Well, it was supposed to be leaked.
17:35I have a...
17:37a supply stashed.
17:40You want me to go get it?
17:42No.
17:43No, no, no.
17:43I'm gonna...
17:44I'm gonna go get it.
17:45Give me your keys.
17:46I'll go to your apartment.
17:47It's not...
17:48in my apartment.
17:50I moved it.
17:51No.
17:51Okay.
17:52So, where did you move it?
18:00In my house.
18:04Unbelievable.
18:19There we got it.
18:20Yeah.
18:23There's someone following me.
18:26Are you sure?
18:28Yeah.
18:29He got into the cab behind me,
18:31and he's making every turn I'm making.
18:33Baby, call the cops.
18:34Can you go around him?
18:36Babe, what's happening?
18:38We're stuck dead.
18:40He's getting out.
18:43Eddie, he's walking over here.
18:46Lindy?
18:46Oh, God.
19:02Help!
19:04Help!
19:06This man's...
19:08This man's chasing me.
19:09He...
19:10He...
19:11He followed me from my building.
19:12I don't know him.
19:14Please.
19:15Yo, buddy.
19:15Let's leave her alone.
19:19Are you deaf?
19:20I said leave her alone.
19:23Hey, buddy.
19:24Are you trying to piss me off?
19:26Come in.
19:27Whoa!
19:27What are you doing, man?
19:36Hey!
19:58Are you still there?
19:59Yeah, I'm here.
20:00What happened?
20:01I'm stuck.
20:03He'll find me.
20:04Please stop talking.
20:05Don't move.
20:05He killed me.
20:08Don't move.
20:38Don't move.
21:07Don't move.
21:08Don't move.
21:38Don't move.
22:07.
22:37.
23:07.
23:37.
24:07.
24:38.
24:38.
24:38.
24:38.
24:38.
24:38.
24:39.
24:39.
24:39.
24:39.
24:39.
24:39.
24:39I don't know what to do.
25:04No, no, no, no, no, no, no, can he see you?
25:11No.
25:14Not yet.
25:16I don't know what to do.
25:19Okay, I need you to go into the bag and take one of the pills.
25:23Why?
25:25Because you'll know what to do, you'll take it, and then you'll know.
25:27He's got a knife.
25:29Eddie, I can't think my way out of a knife.
25:32Just listen to me, it'll come on in 30 seconds,
25:34and you'll think your way out.
25:35That's what it does.
25:58Please get home, sir.
26:04My dear Mario.
26:07My dear Mario.
26:21I don't know.
26:36God bless you.
26:36Hey!
26:37Hey, hey!
26:38Hey, hey!
27:14Now turn to me.
27:17Hey, hey, hey!
27:19Aw!
27:25All right.
27:26Come here.
27:27Come here.
27:28Come here.
27:28Come here.
27:29Come here.
27:29Come here.
27:32Danny, you.
27:34Yeah.
27:36It's going to be okay.
27:40You've got to get out of here.
27:42Eddie.
28:16You okay?
28:19Yeah.
28:22I'm so sorry about what happened.
28:25I want you to know that you never, ever have to go through that again, because I can take care
28:29of us now.
28:31I'm sure you can.
28:33I can make it safe. I'm back, okay?
28:40Who's back, Eddie?
28:41Me.
28:42No. It's not you. You were different before.
28:46I'm still the same person, then.
28:48I wasn't when I was on it.
28:51I did things I would never do.
28:53Those things saved your life.
28:54But they weren't me.
28:55Yes, they were. No, the way it works.
28:57I know how it works. I get it. I totally get it. You feel invincible.
29:03Where it will take us, Lynn, you can't even imagine.
29:06The things we'll be able to do.
29:09Where we'll be a year from now.
29:10The kind of life that we'll finally be able to live.
29:14Well, you might have to live it without me.
29:21Look, I am gonna stop taking it. There's just some things that I have to do to keep us safe
29:24and to set us up.
29:26And then I'm gonna get off it. I mean, that's the plan.
29:28Eddie.
29:29Look, I have a plan. I swear. I'm gonna get off it.
29:32Okay. I hope you do.
29:59Lookin' for me?
30:03You think you can run out of me, huh?
30:05You think I don't know where you are?
30:07I was under the impression our business was settled.
30:09I want some more of that stuff.
30:10But I'll shoot you right to you. Take your pick.
30:13This guy was not going away.
30:15A few pills would buy me some time.
30:17There it is.
30:18We're done.
30:19We'll see.
30:20Until I found a more permanent solution.
30:23Unless you see a real threat, I never want to know that I have any security.
30:27You'll never precede me.
30:28You'll always follow me.
30:29Never went in 15 steps behind.
30:31And never stand too close together.
30:33I want to be able to look behind me if the opportunity presents itself.
30:37And don't wear the same color suit. This isn't the Matrix.
30:44You have to know, Eddie, I wrote you off.
30:47I was sick.
30:47You don't get sick.
30:48You're playing at this level, you get hit by a car, you don't even die.
30:51No, you're absolutely right.
30:52I know I'm right.
30:53I mean, I didn't know who or what I was talking to.
30:55105.
30:56That's what you were talking to, Carl.
30:57Delirium.
30:58Mm-hmm.
31:01I sent over my revised projections.
31:03I didn't ask for your projections.
31:04I know, but I think if you take a look at them...
31:06I already have.
31:07As a matter of fact, I fired a few people over your projections.
31:13I'm sorry.
31:14No, you're not.
31:15You're relieved that you know things my team missed.
31:17The minute, the instant, that's no longer true.
31:24Two months after I'd started NZT, I was brokering the biggest merger in corporate history.
31:29Ironically, it's gonna be crude.
31:32Crude is gonna be where we're gonna hit them.
31:34Which yields a prospective profit of 200%.
31:36That makes both of us very happy campers.
31:38I found that if I maintained an even dose, remembered to eat, drank no alcohol, the blackouts didn't occur.
31:46Tom, is it possible to construct an imperceptible compartment?
31:49In this jacket?
31:50In all of them.
31:53Certainly, sir.
31:53Safer though my stash now was, I was not sitting around until it ran out.
31:58Well, can I combine these ingredients in the same exact quantity? Yes.
32:01But the exact method of delivery to the brain, uh, darts at a dart board.
32:06Meaning?
32:06Clinical trials, guinea pig people.
32:08That's gonna take too long.
32:10That's what it is.
32:10You know, or you'll kill people.
32:12You need 12, 18 months...
32:14I'll give you two million dollars if you can do it in six.
32:24I found that we've been caught in cost, 30%.
32:29And, uh...
32:31Excuse me one second.
32:36I thought we straightened this out, Detective.
32:38This isn't about Vernon Gantt, it was tomorrow.
32:42What is this about?
32:44The witness identified the Maria Windberg suspect...
32:48...as this person.
32:54You wanna tell me your whereabouts the night of April 2nd?
32:58I couldn't keep this quiet on my own.
33:02Enter Morris Brandt.
33:04The most lethal lawyer in New York.
33:09You're lucky somebody wiped the room.
33:11It's weak circumstantial at best.
33:13Just between us.
33:15Were you there?
33:16I don't remember.
33:19I don't wanna make concessions to you...
33:21Carl Van Loon and Hank Atwood had no idea I might soon be charged with murder.
33:26The landscape will have changed.
33:28But Cycorp's, Andine and others are jockeying for the same industrial concessions in Libya that both our companies are pretending
33:33we're not sniffing out.
33:34How do you know this?
33:36The governmental bribe system is itself corrupt, so of course information about its inner workings like anything can be bought.
33:44Go on.
33:46If you take a look at the lower left-hand column in 2008, five companies were jockeying for position before
33:51we even took notice.
33:55Jesus, he looks for real.
33:58Could be an act.
33:59He's not even 60.
34:03So have you decided, Eddie?
34:04What are you gonna do?
34:06This is over?
34:07I don't know.
34:09You haven't given me the answer.
34:10You haven't asked a question.
34:12Well, given the scale of my contribution, let's say 45.
34:16Colonel, $45,000.
34:1940 million's plenty, Eddie.
34:21There's a lot more where that came from.
34:22You know, Eddie, it may be on your mind that you're not gonna continue to work for me anymore.
34:28This has been a learning experience of my life.
34:30I hope it has.
34:31I hope you don't think you've gotten enough from me.
34:32On to the next.
34:34Well, in order for a career to evolve, I'm gonna have to move on.
34:37That you would even think that would only show me how unprepared you are to be on your own.
34:41I mean, you do know you're a freak.
34:44Your deductive powers are a gift from God or chance or a stray shadow sperm or whatever, whoever the hell
34:48wrote your life script.
34:49A gift, not earned.
34:51You do not know what I know because you have not earned those powers.
34:55You're careless with those powers.
34:57You flaunt them and you throw them around like a brat with his trust fund.
35:00You haven't had to climb up all the greasy little rungs.
35:02You haven't been bored blind at the fundraisers.
35:05You haven't done the time in that first marriage to the girl with the right father.
35:08You think you can leap over it all in a single bound.
35:10You haven't had to bribe or charm or threaten your way to a seat at that table.
35:14You don't know how to assess your competition because you haven't competed.
35:17Don't make me your competition.
35:21Now, I'll open up a line of credit for you.
35:23You'll be wanting a few toys.
35:42Hotel rooms were no longer an option.
35:45What I needed was a bunker.
35:47There's a built-in safe, central surveillance, vault-grade pneumatic door.
35:52It's an unparalleled three-tier security system.
35:55A fortress with a hell of a view.
36:02What's the asking price?
36:048.5.
36:10I'll take it.
36:17Right away, it was obvious he was on NZT.
36:20Next week, I'm gonna need 20 bills.
36:22Next week, you can go fuck yourself.
36:24Not that you'd feel anything.
36:26I don't think your Fortune 500 financial friends would appreciate the details of your little dilemma with the police.
36:34Thursday, I'm gonna need the pills here.
36:39Getting smarter.
36:43Obviously, this could not go on.
36:45But there is very little on this earth that $40 million can't solve.
36:48And tomorrow at 9, Atwood would sign the papers.
36:58Do you want to call it?
37:00Cold feet?
37:01It was all last night to tell us that.
37:05Anything?
37:07I'll call them again, sir.
37:09Okay, the decision could have changed. That makes sense.
37:11The discourtesy doesn't.
37:13It's still on.
37:15Oh, based on your charts and projections.
37:18You don't remind me, who are you anyway?
37:20I'm sorry, Carl. I've had it with this unqualified posturing little prick.
37:23I mean, since when is this the Delphic Oracle?
37:24Don, pull it back.
37:26Excuse me, Mr. Van Loon.
37:28Mrs. Atwood is in your office.
37:33Ah, Mrs. Atwood, Carl Van Loon, my associate Edward Mora.
37:37Pleasure.
37:40I wanted to make this as confidential as possible.
37:43Of course.
37:44My husband experienced some pain and dizziness this morning.
37:48He's currently at Lenox Hill, undergoing tests.
37:51I just want you to know we have every intention of signing the contract.
37:56And as soon as he is able, we will proceed.
38:00I realize it's a useless platitude, but if there's anything that we can do, please don't hesitate to tell us.
38:04Obviously, we want to be as helpful and respectful as possible, Mrs. Atwood.
38:08Thank you, John. I rely on your discretion.
38:12There won't be a proxy.
38:14A cagey prick like him giving away power of attorney?
38:20Well, that'll get better.
38:25But Atwood wouldn't get better, because Atwood was out of NZT.
38:33Well?
38:35Why be surprised?
38:37How many other meteoric rises might be explained by NZT?
38:40At least I had some. My life wasn't in jeopardy.
38:43You can wait here.
38:44Only my money. And my liberty.
38:47I've been all over them.
38:49We can't allow any disparity in race or physical type between you and the rest of the line-up.
38:54Okay.
38:55You're as close to your clones as I could possibly get.
38:58There's gotta be just one big handsome blur to this guy.
39:14Who was out there?
39:18The woman's husband?
39:20A hotel maid?
39:24Was this how it was all going to end?
39:31Not the dimmest clue.
39:32He was dithering.
39:33Maybe the third woman from the right.
39:35No, not him.
39:36There you go.
39:38It's a thing of beauty.
39:39You heard that maid?
39:41I did.
40:00It's today. The Dow has been yo-yoing amid speculation that Van Loon Associates and Hank Atwood have negotiated a
40:08merger.
40:09Have you been talking to anyone?
40:12I haven't been talking to anybody, Carl.
40:14I'm not stupid.
40:15I know you're not stupid, Eddie, but don't make the classic smart person's mistake thinking no one's smarter than you.
40:20Where the hell have you been?
40:22This is the second time you've turned to vapor.
40:23I was in the building. I was getting coffee. Why? Has there been movement?
40:26Yeah, there's been movement, all right.
40:27Atwood's in a coma. He wasn't playing us. He's dying.
40:31What do you know about this?
40:33I was less than usually equipped to answer.
40:36The dullness was coming on.
40:37I was overdue to take my NZT, and the pain was starting behind my eyes.
40:43Excuse me.
40:45You're not excused.
40:46What, a man your employee can't take a piss, Carl?
41:10Was it Brant? Or someone else? The police station? A coat room?
41:28Mr. Maura. Mr. Maura. Sorry, I... Mr. Maura. This just came for you.
41:33What?
41:34Don't tell me that it's taxing to your powers of prevention. I'm not gonna go for that.
41:38I hope not, so let me know when you know.
41:42All right, I'm gonna ask you again, Eddie. What do you know about this?
41:45What, about the leak?
41:46No, about Atwood.
41:48What? What about Atwood?
41:49Look, you got a long way to go as a liar kid.
41:51Carl, I don't know what you're talking...
41:52Listen, what you're about to say is bullshit. I know there's something you're hiding from me. I smell it on
41:56you.
41:56Right now, I wanna know why this gale is dead in the water.
42:03Eddie! Eddie!
42:21Outside Lenox Hill Hospital today, more twists and turns in the Van Loon-Atwood merger.
42:26There is absolutely no truth to the rumor of this merger. None whatsoever.
42:31If my husband is having tests, this is a difficult time.
42:35We would appreciate your directing further questions to our attorney.
42:39Uh, yes, we have no further comments at this time.
42:41We're just awaiting the results of the latest round of tests and hoping for the best.
43:56And so, here I am.
44:01I knew they would kill me slowly and horribly, but this choice would at least be mine.
44:16But we're instinctive creatures. We want to live.
44:20So my foggy brain tried to remember where one tablet of NZT might be.
44:31It was possible. And possible was enough.
44:58Hey, Eddie.
45:21You know I want more, so why would you upset me?
45:26I don't like being down to this last one.
45:28You don't even know how to use it.
45:30You don't appreciate it.
45:32You see, I dissolve it in solution.
45:36You shoot it, you go straight into the blood and brain.
45:41It lasts much longer.
45:59So, you gonna tell me where the rest is?
46:02I'll plumb out.
46:05You shoot the egg.
46:08You know, these guys are gonna find it.
46:12Or I'm gonna make you tell me.
46:14The question is, which is gonna come first?
46:18I guess we're gonna find out, huh?
46:24It's a waste of my time, you know?
46:27I'm getting out of this side of the business.
46:30I'm branching out.
46:32I'm starting import-export company.
46:35Very exciting stuff.
46:37I got a lot on my plate.
46:38You're lucky I'm here.
46:46Let's all say.
46:47I'm back in the old times.
46:49I might peel your skin back, flay you.
46:53Flay.
46:54That's a nice word.
46:56I didn't know this before.
46:57Oh, that is such a poor vocabulary.
47:05But then I discovered this thing, Google.
47:08Did you know the small and large intestines is 20 foot long?
47:11I had no idea.
47:12I don't believe it.
47:13I gotta see this for myself.
47:14I'm dubious.
47:15It's another nice word.
47:18Anyway, I'm sure you're curious too.
47:21But don't worry, everything's sterilized.
47:23We're gonna keep you alive for the whole shebang.
47:27You're gonna get a front row seat, baby.
47:31What?
47:36God!
48:01Not much of a triumph, was it?
48:04Because I would die here too.
48:08Only NZT could help me.
48:09And the last of it was in this thug's bloodstream.
48:11I'll do it again.
48:23What?
48:29I can't do it again.
48:32But....
48:32It's just getting laid out, I think.
48:33I can't do it.
48:35I can't do it.
48:39I know.
48:39I can't do it again.
48:40I know.
48:40I can't do it again.
48:41Good luck.
48:46Oh, my God.
49:13Oh, my God.
49:22What?
49:26Hey!
49:31Hey!
49:38Hey!
49:39Hey!
49:39I don't see him!
49:40Stop!
49:42Stop here!
49:47Stop!
49:50Stop!
49:56Stop!
49:59Stop!
50:07Stop!
50:10Stop!
50:11Stop!
50:12Stop!
50:21Stop!
50:23Stop!
50:23Stop!
50:24Stop!
50:30Victor!
50:34Victor!
50:36Victor!
50:39Stop!
50:55Stop!
50:57Stop!
50:59Stop!
51:02Stop!
51:02Stop!
51:13Stop!
51:15Stop!
51:19Stop!
51:19Stop!
51:21Stop!
51:26The police would later note that my apartment's previous owner was an arms dealer.
51:30Of course, these intruders have been his dissatisfied clients.
51:35And the night was still young.
51:58And the night was still young.
52:03He got right in with this life-saving medication.
52:06His boss was dead.
52:09So, I didn't matter now.
52:12But he did not appreciate that Morris Brandt had kept the pills for himself.
52:28And it was all still possible.
52:48I didn't know.
52:49Actually, no.
52:49There's no more tickets.
52:51Yeah.
52:51I know.
52:52An overbooked fundraiser.
52:53And that's a first.
52:55Well, here he comes.
52:56I'll ask him.
52:57Oh, that's much better.
52:59Great job.
53:00Thank you, sir.
53:01All right.
53:02Edward!
53:05I think we're looking at a second Overflow event.
53:08There's a wave of donations coming in.
53:10And I don't think they're even gonna try a second debate.
53:12Great.
53:13Hold on.
53:13A guy from Ivan Chem Corp's in your office.
53:15I have a lunch.
53:16Look, they're your biggest contributor.
53:17Give him his two crappy little minutes.
53:18Ivan Chem Corp.
53:19Pharmaceuticals.
53:20Yeah.
53:22Finally get to meet the guys that keep the lights on.
53:26Carl.
53:27Mr. Mora.
53:29What a surprise.
53:31They told me somebody from Ivan was coming.
53:33Yeah, that's me now.
53:34I'm moving out of the energy business.
53:36Come on.
53:37That's like half moving out of the mansion.
53:40Yeah, I bought Ivan a couple of months ago.
53:41I'm surprised you didn't hear.
53:43No, no.
53:44Well, I really keep me hopping here.
53:47Well, it's gonna pay off, Senator Mora.
53:51The Senate?
53:52Who knows?
53:53Everything's a technicality from here on in, isn't it, Eddie?
53:57I think we both know where it's headed.
53:59If you can maintain.
54:04Have you asked yourself what you're gonna do when you run out?
54:22What did you know?
54:23Does it matter?
54:24I know now.
54:26I wish you'd come to me at first, Eddie.
54:28I could've bought Ivan at 33 a share.
54:29We could've been partners.
54:34So, Ivan makes NZT.
54:36Well, it'll never officially exist.
54:39Obviously, I don't need to point out the advantages for you.
54:42Oh, I think maybe you do.
54:44Limitless supply.
54:46We know you can't get any more.
54:48You sure about that?
54:49They shut down your lab this morning.
54:54Eddie, I just wanna help you, that's all.
54:57Keep you supplied.
54:58No disruption in service.
55:00Give you peace of mind, that's all.
55:03And in return, I do what?
55:06Get a little advice, maybe.
55:08I won't be bothering you much at first.
55:10And later, what are you gonna be bothering me with?
55:13Well, given where you're heading, some of our ideas are a bit ambitious.
55:16But hey, I think they're achievable.
55:18And what if I don't like your ideas?
55:20And then we'll say, Godspeed.
55:22And your candle will have shed a brief but lovely light.
55:27But you know what, Eddie?
55:28Let's not even go there right now.
55:30Right now, I just wanna keep you brilliant and healthy.
55:35Come on, let's go get some lunch.
55:54After you, Senator?
55:57Thanks for stopping by, Carl.
56:00Give us a second.
56:02What are you doing?
56:03Do you wanna be president of the United States or brain dead, stuck full of tubes?
56:06I'll tell you my chances.
56:07I told you, your chances don't exist.
56:09We shut down your lab.
56:10You don't think some smart ass in NZT might have two or three or even four labs?
56:13So what?
56:14You're not making any more.
56:15That's right, I'm not.
56:16I thought better of it.
56:16See, once you know what's in it, you can tweak it, re-engineer it, get the bugs out, taper off.
56:22I'm off it, Carl.
56:23Well, on it or off it, there's no scenario where you're not working for me.
56:26How are you gonna pay me?
56:27In cigarettes?
56:28Last year, you traded on inside information 17 times.
56:31Blanked checks from Dubai, dumping in Chile, disappeared officials.
56:34I mean, you shed a spotlight right here.
56:35You wanna go to war with me?
56:36No way.
56:36And trust me when I say this, I'm not even being creative.
56:38There's no way you can be making accusations like that and be walking around alive.
56:42That you would even think that shows me how unprepared you are to fight me.
56:45You're no longer equipped to fight me.
56:46I may be off it.
56:47You think I didn't learn anything?
56:48That my synapses didn't change?
56:49That I kept absolutely nothing?
56:50You have no idea what kind of enemy I could be.
56:52That van's gonna rear end that taxi.
56:54What?
56:55The driver's distracted.
56:56He's texting.
56:57He's going 30 miles an hour.
56:58He's 60 feet to stop.
56:59He doesn't have room.
56:59I see everything, Carl.
57:06I'm 50 moves ahead of you and everybody else.
57:07What makes you think I don't have a guy with a bead on you right now?
57:10How do you know you're gonna be alive this time next year?
57:12What are you doing?
57:13What are you doing?
57:14What are you doing?
57:15Something's pumping a half-mass in there.
57:17The walls of your heart are dilated.
57:18Aortic valve stand-ups.
57:19You're gonna need to get that replaced.
57:22But you already knew that.
57:29You know, you should really be glad about this.
57:32Because me working for you, you'd end up as my bitch.
57:46Maybe we should cool off and talk again.
57:50I don't think so.
57:53Don't forget to vote.
58:03Edward.
58:04You good?
58:06Yeah.
58:07Told you I had a lunch.
58:14Sorry.
58:15Hey.
58:16Don't worry.
58:18How's your day going?
58:20I've had better.
58:21I've had better.
58:23I still can't deal with that haircut.
58:25I wouldn't even recognize you on the street.
58:27Well, I'm a new man.
58:30I've already ordered.
58:31I've already ordered two people to go home.
58:34I'm not going to give me a mask.
58:37You can protect your clothes.
58:39But I'm not going to protect my clothes.
58:46What?
58:46I'm not going to protect my clothes.
58:47I'm not going to protect my clothes.
58:48I'm not going to protect my clothes.
58:49I'm not going to protect my clothes.
58:50I'm not going to protect my clothes.
58:51I'm not going to protect my clothes.
58:51I'm not going to protect my clothes.
58:52I'm not going to protect my clothes.
58:53I'm not going to protect my clothes.
58:53I'm not going to protect my clothes.
58:54I'm not going to protect my clothes.
58:54I'm not going to protect my clothes.
58:54I'm not going to protect my clothes.
58:54I'm not going to protect my clothes.
58:54I'm not going to protect my clothes.
