00:14:30like the phones same as bed dogs

00:14:33who blow down to where it's warm

00:14:36gross right yeah look behind your couch cushions and chairs and look closely

00:14:42above it even your faucet can make sneaky hiding places for cameras as tiny as a grain of salt

00:14:58and remember it's only the paranoia in the eyes of soon-to-be-sarys

00:15:05so

00:15:28just

00:15:43What's wrong, Gary? You're looking a little green.

00:15:46No, no, no. You're one of those guys who really likes to drive.

00:15:48I wasn't driving. It's a self-driving car.

00:15:51I mean, who knows how to drive better than a car, right?

00:15:54Right, yeah, yeah.

00:15:56You're not a risk guy, Gary, huh?

00:15:58Sure.

00:15:59Let me ask you, how are you with your investments?

00:16:01You like to get freaky with the Dow?

00:16:03Oh, you know, investing is like Joanne's department, mostly.

00:16:08Is it?

00:16:08Yeah.

00:16:09Oh. Lily never shuts up about my portfolio.

00:16:12I know.

00:16:12Joanne must keep you abreast, right?

00:16:14Uh, not so much. It's like I do more thermostats, oil changes, like...

00:16:19Yeah, good. That structure...

00:16:20I thought you'd want to go.

00:16:21Right.

00:16:23Home, sweet home.

00:16:26Everyone has a smart house, right?

00:16:29This one's dumb.

00:16:30That whole thing on top of the house, that's a Faraday cage.

00:16:34Blocks all cellular.

00:16:36Here, give me yours.

00:16:38Oh, no, I need to have this right now, if that's okay.

00:16:40But no cell phones inside.

00:16:44Yeah, sure. Great. Could use a break.

00:16:46Good.

00:16:47Great.

00:16:48Yep. The Internet's never once popped its cherry.

00:16:51I mean, if you need milk, the fridge won't tell you.

00:16:54Your phone won't suggest you breathe, and I guess...

00:16:57If you fall down and break your leg, you're shit out of luck.

00:17:00Yeah.

00:17:00I suppose.

00:17:01Let's find out how weird I am.

00:17:03Yeah.

00:17:16I confuse texture with temperature.

00:17:19Always, sometimes, rarely, never.

00:17:23Like when I touch things?

00:17:27Always, sometimes, rarely, never.

00:17:30Maybe with, like, fruit, wet fruit.

00:17:33You know, like a melon rind.

00:17:34So, rarely?

00:17:36I fear flowers with thorns.

00:17:39Always, sometimes, rarely, never.

00:17:44Never.

00:17:45I don't know... Wait, should I?

00:17:48Rarely?

00:17:49You... Rarely.

00:17:51I feel judged by my clothes.

00:17:53Always, sometimes, rarely, never.

00:18:01Sometimes.

00:18:02Sometimes.

00:18:10I'm sorry, does that count for more?

00:18:15I have difficulty waiting my turn.

00:18:18Always, sometimes, rarely.

00:18:21Always.

00:18:31Orson. Orson, I need you.

00:18:33Right now.

00:18:35I...

00:18:37Did you lock the door?

00:18:41Okay, I have all my passwords saved here somewhere.

00:18:47Um, on a thumb drive.

00:18:49And I, I, I need to change all of them.

00:18:53Okay, um, uh, hey, what, what, what if you just, uh,

00:18:57give me the computer password,

00:18:58then I can change them all.

00:19:02Aren't you smart?

00:19:04Okay, um, it's your name and your birthday.

00:19:15Uh, did you do the capital O?

00:19:17I did the capital O.

00:19:22That's not the right date.

00:19:24Well, it's my birthday.

00:19:25No, it's not.

00:19:27It, it totally is.

00:19:29It's the 11th.

00:19:31No, it's, it's the 10th.

00:19:36This is why you always call me the day after my birthday?

00:19:43I...

00:19:44Oh, I, I, I, I, I, I, I...

00:19:50Oh, I did some, it's, it's, it's Hallumi's birthday.

00:20:08you remember.

00:20:10Yes, you do.

00:20:11You loved it.

00:20:12There was that mine ride

00:20:15with the animatronic Chinese laborers,

00:20:17and you wore that little cowboy hat I got you.

00:20:21Well, I didn't go there for me, Orson.

00:20:23Jesus, you think I had a good time at Knott's Berry Farm?

00:20:29Um, why don't we just do the fingerprint thing instead?

00:20:33Yeah.

00:20:34Good idea.

00:20:40Um, like this?

00:20:42Um, right over here.

00:20:45This?

00:20:59Listen.

00:21:03Total lack of microwaves.

00:21:06Yeah, it's...

00:21:07It's a beautiful house, Duncan.

00:21:12It was Hamish's.

00:21:14My business partner.

00:21:16College roommate.

00:21:18He loved it here.

00:21:19We co-founded Fafaa.

00:21:21You remember Fafaa?

00:21:22Yeah, uh, yeah.

00:21:24A buddy of mine met his first wife on Fafaa,

00:21:27and I bought a Subaru on Fafaa.

00:21:30It was actually my second Subaru.

00:21:31Got that on Fafaa.

00:21:33Nice.

00:21:34Okay, so, I really gotta get back,

00:21:36so can you run me to the...

00:21:38Yes, yes.

00:21:38You remember Hamish?

00:21:39Hamish was a genius.

00:21:42Inept, but, you know, he couldn't...

00:21:44Okay.

00:21:46He couldn't look people in the eye.

00:21:47He couldn't talk to people.

00:21:49I talked for him.

00:21:58Dude had a horrible stutter.

00:22:01Yeah, I would steal his, uh...

00:22:04His shoes, his medication.

00:22:06You know, that kind of thing.

00:22:08And, uh, he'd go,

00:22:09Fafaa, fuck you, Duncan.

00:22:11And that's how he came up with the name Fafaa.

00:22:14How?

00:22:16Oh.

00:22:17He hanged himself.

00:22:18No.

00:22:19Right above where you're standing, actually.

00:22:21Oh, fuck.

00:22:22You still make out where he, uh, carved his goodbye.

00:22:26Sorry.

00:22:31Should have been your welcome, right?

00:22:33Your welcome.

00:22:34He gave me this house.

00:22:36Gave me everything.

00:22:37And a chance to do it on my own.

00:22:42Yeah.

00:22:45That's how I bought hypnosis.

00:22:51Whoo!

00:22:53Wish that a Joanne back then.

00:22:57Let's go.

00:22:58Okay.

00:23:02Joanne deserves so much more.

00:23:04And I'm not talking about you.

00:23:06I'm...

00:23:06I'm sure you keep her very satisfied.

00:23:10And I'm...

00:23:11I'm...

00:23:12I mean, financially.

00:23:14We're doing all right, Duncan.

00:23:15I appreciate your concern.

00:23:17You can call yourself a car, right?

00:23:19I'm gonna hang back and meditate.

00:23:21If you just go up the hill,

00:23:23you'll eventually get service, okay?

00:24:41or else they will all want one.

00:24:51You know what they're gonna say?

00:24:54Clepto.

00:24:54Pyro.

00:24:56Psycho.

00:24:59I'll probably make a lot of it

00:25:01to smile if I unalive myself.

00:25:03I'm just having too much fun, you know?

00:25:11Hmm?

00:25:13What's that?

00:25:15You got no wisdom to share?

00:25:19Speak up.

00:25:21I see what happened when she's holding on.

00:25:22Some ears, eh?

00:25:24Come here.

00:25:26Come here, come here.

00:25:32Well done.

00:25:41Oh, that don't know.

00:25:45I don't know.

00:25:45I'll see you.

00:25:46I love you, man.

00:25:52Are you nervous?

00:25:54Don't be. You're going to be great.

00:25:55Not great. You don't have to be great.

00:25:57Just keep expectations reasonable.

00:26:00Here, I say this to my clients.

00:26:02You know the story of Icarus?

00:26:03He tried to fly too close to the sun, but his wings melted,

00:26:07and so he fell down to Earth and died.

00:26:10But if Icarus flew too low, he'd drown.

00:26:13The middle.

00:26:15That is where you want to be.

00:26:17Yep.

00:26:17You're not drowning. You're not getting burned by the sun.

00:26:21But hey, you're flying. That's cool.

00:26:23Okay, thanks, Mom.

00:26:27Love you so much. You have no idea.

00:26:42Hey.

00:26:43Hey.

00:26:46Hey, how's it going?

00:26:47Uh, you have room here, right?

00:26:49Hi.

00:26:50Hi.

00:26:51Uh, name and grade?

00:26:52Orson Stern, ninth grade.

00:26:59I'm new, so...

00:27:03Uh, Dr. Webb?

00:27:05Hmm?

00:27:06Uh, this young man is in the system, but...

00:27:10Hon, it looks like your transcript from your last school never arrived.

00:27:16We can't onboard you until we get it.

00:27:19My-my dad was supposed to do that.

00:27:21Oh, well, can you give him a call?

00:27:25Yeah.

00:27:47Um, he didn't, he didn't answer it.

00:27:50Why don't you go wait in the dining hall?

00:27:53Someone will come by you.

00:27:56Hi.

00:27:57I'm all right.

00:28:01I'm all right.

00:28:04Oh, my God.

00:28:37Oh, my God.

00:29:02When you were insider trading off your patients, I'm sorry, I'm sorry, your clients.

00:29:06When you were insider trading off your clients' most private and confidential confidences given to you in strict confidence according

00:29:13to the rules of Therapy International.

00:29:16No, I'm just curious.

00:29:17Oh, my God.

00:29:24Oh, my God.

00:29:25Oh, my God.

00:29:28What?

00:29:29How was that?

00:29:30Joe!

00:29:31Eh!

00:30:03Let's go!

00:30:51I don't know.

00:30:56Hello. Can I help you?

00:30:58Yes, hello. Hi.

00:30:59I've been hacked, I think.

00:31:01Several purchases of stocks I do not recognize.

00:31:04Oh, dear.

00:31:05Have a seat.

00:31:08The sticky part is I'm a psychologist.

00:31:13But patients with clients come for therapy to my home office.

00:31:16Working from home.

00:31:18The dream?

00:31:19Yes, it is.

00:31:20But one of them must have got my phone and found my brokerage accounts.

00:31:25Okay.

00:31:26Let's see what we're talking about here.

00:31:28Okay. Thank you.

00:31:29Name?

00:31:32Well, I need to emphasize that the doctor-patient confidentiality thing is a worry.

00:31:39I mean, if it was one of my patients, I-I couldn't testify, um, to it.

00:31:46Hmm.

00:31:47Sounds like a case for our pals in the fraud department.

00:31:49They know how to tangle with law enforcement and all that jazz.

00:31:53Oh, no, no, no, no, no.

00:31:54Um, thank you.

00:31:56Um, you see, at least ten of my patients could have done this.

00:31:59So, and-and five of them have dangerous, violent tendencies.

00:32:04I mean, they might do harm to themselves or their families.

00:32:08They could come after me.

00:32:10Could even come after you, Pat.

00:32:13Well, why would they come after me?

00:32:16Is there a world where we...

00:32:20reverse the trades?

00:32:21Like, give it back?

00:32:22Well, we can't recoup your losses without a fraud report, I'm afraid.

00:32:31There weren't any losses.

00:32:35Only profits.

00:32:37It's an ethical concern.

00:32:39I-I-I can't be making money off my-my patients.

00:32:44Hmm.

00:32:45Well, you could, um, you could give the money to charity.

00:32:49Like, for psychologists.

00:33:01Or I could lose it.

00:33:02To protect my patient.

00:33:04Make a bad bet.

00:33:06Maybe two.

00:33:06Muddy it up?

00:33:08Sure.

00:33:09I can't advise you to do that.

00:33:11We have duties.

00:33:12Fiduciary ones.

00:33:13Yeah, yeah.

00:33:13I get it.

00:33:15I know what to do now.

00:33:16Great.

00:33:17Thank you, Pat.

00:33:19Now, would you be willing to fill out a customer satisfaction survey?

00:33:23No.

00:33:26Can you get a clearer image, Harper?

00:33:28This-it looks like a pile of laundry on a skateboard.

00:33:31I-I-

00:33:31Her phone is off, so she's probably on to you.

00:33:34So-did you geofix her car?

00:33:35Yes, but the signal's very shaky.

00:33:37I'm only locked in on her telematics.

00:33:39What's-

00:33:40Like, her car's emergency systems?

00:33:43Okay.

00:33:43Even her tire pressure monitors send out a beacon.

00:33:46Her tire pressure monitors.

00:33:49Well, there's no hiding with this.

00:33:51Nice new digs, by the way.

00:33:53I think this could be the hub for this project.

00:33:55What are we gonna call it?

00:33:56Did you come up with a name yet?

00:33:57Eye in the Sky?

00:33:58Duncan.

00:33:59That's funny, but something a little more grand.

00:34:03The Dunquisition.

00:34:04That's not funny.

00:34:05The Eye of Odin.

00:34:07No.

00:34:08No-noded.

00:34:09No-did.

00:34:13Oh, she's on the 280, and she's getting a hub.

00:34:15Oh, where is she?

00:34:17Okay.

00:34:18Where is this?

00:34:19Harper, where is that?

00:34:20Um.

00:34:21Why did you turn it off?

00:34:22Just that, um, I've already given you a 360-degree profile of this woman,

00:34:26and this is not protecting, and it's not probing.

00:34:30It's straight-up stalking.

00:34:31We're not-

00:34:33We're not stalking her.

00:34:34We're stalking her car.

00:34:35Harper, she wants to buy a gun to shoot Duncan.

00:34:38That's right.

00:34:39That's right.

00:34:39This is a life or death.

00:34:41So now, can you just do your job?

00:34:43This is not my job.

00:34:44This is extra.

00:34:46How much do you make?

00:34:47$150.

00:34:47If I give you two, can we never have this conversation again?

00:34:51I would like to be CTO.

00:34:54Wow, wow.

00:34:55A threat to my physical well-being is your cue to negotiate?

00:35:00We'll discuss it at your next performance review.

00:35:03Oh, it's now.

00:35:03It sucks.

00:35:04Just get her back.

00:35:07The Eye of Odin.

00:35:09Eye of Odin.

00:35:09Can we be quiet in this space, please?

00:35:11Yeah, sir.

00:35:12Yeah.

00:35:20Let's go.

00:35:26Let's go.

00:35:51What's your winning idea?

00:35:53Jesus Christ.

00:35:57Come on, come on.

00:35:59Work is life.

00:36:00That's why I launched Deathmo, a reimagined work week for your business where days are numbers, not names.

00:36:07No more Mondays, no more Sundays, just pure flow.

00:36:10What's your winning idea?

00:36:12You morons.

00:36:15You morons.

00:36:21You morons.

00:37:24So it is with young men.

00:39:13Well, life insurance companies are bloody commemorative coins.

00:39:18And if those data seals fund the good work of actually helping people who really do deserve

00:39:24it, maybe we can still get to heaven.

00:39:27Win-win.

00:39:28It just feels like without Hamish, like everyone's looking at me, waiting for me to just fall

00:39:34on my dick.

00:40:03No one is looking at you.

00:40:04Yeah.

00:40:05Yeah.

00:40:06Yeah.

00:40:10Well, I was thinking maybe we'd start with single source justification, basically if we can

00:40:15show the DCB encounters what's unique about hypergnosis.

00:40:18We're unique as fuck.

00:40:22Great, yeah.

00:40:23Uh, Harper. Harper.

00:40:25Uh, this is our new CTO, Harper.

00:40:29Why don't you give them a look through the, uh, I have Nodin.

00:40:33Extra carbon for my friends here.

00:40:35And, uh, we'll get that data merged into our system toot suite.

00:40:39Well, uh, we can have trucks here in 72 hours if you have someone to load them.

00:40:42Sorry.

00:40:44Trucks?

00:40:45Yeah, a lot of it is, uh, is still on paper.

00:40:48Some, uh, floppy disks, too, so.

00:40:51Yeah, you know, well, like, uh, when your home movies are on VHS kind of thing.

00:40:55I don't know.

00:40:56This is what the money's for.

00:40:58Huh?

00:40:58To, uh, to upload and update.

00:41:01Paper, floppy disks.

00:41:02What?

00:41:03She's, uh, parked somewhere in Milpitas.

00:41:06Do you want me to go?

00:41:08No, no, I'll do it.

00:41:09Do it.

00:41:10I, we, we just need some specs for the, uh...

00:41:13We will.

00:41:24Lucky, this is the wrong way.

00:41:26Why am I in the Bayfront Expressway?

00:41:27Well, we're working on it.

00:41:28No, where's Joanne?

00:41:30Okay.

00:41:30I'm turning around because of you.

00:41:31I am sorry.

00:41:31Shut, shut, shut up.

00:41:33Shut up.

00:41:33Put the arbor on.

00:41:34Okay, okay, that makes sense.

00:41:36I'm going back that way.

00:41:38Right cover, asshole.

00:41:39Oh, it's an EV, okay?

00:41:42I'm part of the solution, bitch.

00:41:46Oh, Joanne, you can't hide from me.

00:42:06Okay, okay, Harper says parking lot, maybe under the left.

00:42:09Okay, parking lot.

00:42:10We're looking left.

00:42:10Right.

00:42:11Right, right, looking right.

00:42:13Okay, try the left.

00:42:14I don't see her.

00:42:15There is nothing here.

00:42:17Okay.

00:42:17Literally, there is nothing here.

00:42:19All right, just hold tight.

00:42:20It should be there.

00:42:21Harper?

00:42:22Yeah, it should be there.

00:42:25Duncan, can you confirm?

00:42:28Duncan?

00:42:34Uh-oh.

00:42:44All right.

00:42:46Ready for some jokes?

00:42:51Why did the monkey fall out of the tree?

00:42:53Because poachers cut off his arms.

00:42:55Test, please.

00:42:59Organic facial expression of positive affect.

00:43:02He smiled.

00:43:03He laughed.

00:43:04Right?

00:43:05Just like any teenage person.

00:43:07Now he just needs spots and raging hormones.

00:43:10Trophy for you, Xander.

00:43:12Thank you, Martin.

00:43:15Alexander, trophies are dopamine shortcuts.

00:43:17For those of us with dopamine.

00:43:19He's making his own dopamine.

00:43:20He's going to be a genuine friend who listens and responds to teens.

00:43:25You're in a bubble.

00:43:25You have no idea what teens today are going through.

00:43:29First turtle.

00:43:31Right.

00:43:33Trophy for Tess if you make it to school today without incident.

00:43:44Trophy for Tess if you make it to school today without incident.

00:43:46All right.

00:43:52Trophy for Tess.

00:44:11All right.

00:45:22I don't want to sorrow you.

00:45:23Hey.

00:45:25Calm down.

00:45:26Get out!

00:45:26Calm down.

00:45:27Calm down.

00:45:27I just want to talk.

00:45:30Gary!

00:45:31He's not here.

00:45:34Okay?

00:45:34The muscle's gone.

00:45:35He took the car.

00:45:36Just...

00:45:37Joanne.

00:45:42Lift up your arms.

00:45:44Okay.

00:45:45Duncan, you have to stop breaking into my house like this.

00:45:50This is my first time.

00:45:51Okay.

00:45:52I'm gonna call the police.

00:45:54No, no.

00:45:55And I'm gonna call Nana Marks.

00:45:58You know the journalist?

00:45:59She hounds me for tips all the time.

00:46:00All I have to tell her is,

00:46:01Nana, do I have a story for you?

00:46:03Shrink turns patients' trauma into trades.

00:46:05Who wouldn't want to click that?

00:46:06Come here.

00:46:08Like that.

00:46:09Let's go.

00:46:22You think you know everything about me?

00:46:25Well, you don't.

00:46:27Firstly, that varicose vein thing?

00:46:30It was just a consultation.

00:46:32I decided not to go through with it.

00:46:34I figured.

00:46:35You don't always wear pantyhose.

00:46:37Ugh!

00:46:38Oh, my God.

00:46:40And much more importantly,

00:46:42that thing about Orson's custody.

00:46:45You have no right to any of it.

00:46:47But since you've already weaseled your way into my life,

00:46:51I...

00:46:52I wanted my son.

00:46:55It's just that...

00:46:57that Ethan told me.

00:46:58He promised that he would look after him

00:47:01while I finished my degree

00:47:02and got myself into lifelong student loan debt at 8%.

00:47:05So...

00:47:05And now I have a...

00:47:07a 15-year-old

00:47:09who has no memory

00:47:10of the little cowboy hat I got him

00:47:12after he had a shit fit

00:47:13in the middle of the food court.

00:47:15So...

00:47:16You think you know everything.

00:47:18Because you have information.

00:47:21But information is not insight.

00:47:24And of that, Duncan,

00:47:25you have none.

00:47:28Please.

00:47:32Please.

00:47:34Please.

00:47:36Don't.

00:47:38Don't do this.

00:47:40Is this what you want?

00:47:42Please.

00:47:44It was just...

00:47:46a little...

00:47:48insider trading.

00:47:49Sorry.

00:47:51Yeah.

00:47:54I'm so sorry.

00:47:56But you can't unfuck that bell.

00:47:58You committed a crime

00:48:00and I'm the natural consequence of that crime.

00:48:02You are looking at this all wrong.

00:48:05I'm the best thing that's happened to you

00:48:07since Mike Abedelli finger banged you at the turtle back zoo.

00:48:09I...

00:48:10My...

00:48:11What?

00:48:12How?

00:48:13That memoir you're writing,

00:48:14it's still on note docs.

00:48:16It's like a demon

00:48:17shat you into my brain.

00:48:19How many companies,

00:48:19how many billions of dollars

00:48:21have you saved or earned for your clients?

00:48:24That...

00:48:25God, come on.

00:48:25That's got to burn.

00:48:26It is JoJo's turn.

00:48:29Right?

00:48:29All I need is just...

00:48:32one of your clients.

00:48:35Someone...

00:48:36someone I could just do something with.

00:48:38That's it.

00:48:40And of course,

00:48:41someone who's gonna...

00:48:44get me.

00:48:55Carl Bardolph.

00:48:59Carl Bardolph.

00:49:00As in Bardolph's law?

00:49:02Bardolph?

00:49:02That...

00:49:03That...

00:49:04Carl...

00:49:04Bardolph?

00:49:09Oh, wow.

00:49:10Nice.

00:49:10Okay.

00:49:11Okay.

00:49:12Okay.

00:49:13So he wants to get back in the game.

00:49:14You know, what's his sweet spot?

00:49:15His...

00:49:16His open sesame.

00:49:17Come on.

00:49:18Joanne.

00:49:19I bet he likes it.

00:49:21People worshiping at his feet.

00:49:23Does he...

00:49:24Does he miss it?

00:49:25The glory days?

00:49:27Oh, he's a glory hound.

00:49:28Yeah, yeah.

00:49:29I'm at his feet,

00:49:30so he's at my feet.

00:49:32Yeah?

00:49:32Come on.

00:49:33Oh, come on.

00:49:37Always.

00:49:38Sometimes.

00:49:39Rarely.

00:49:40Never.

00:49:46Sometimes.

00:49:50Tell me more.

00:49:57Here we go.

00:49:59Hey.

00:50:06Wow.

00:50:07Uh, everything okay?

00:50:12Hey.

00:50:15You all right?

00:50:16Gary.

00:50:18Um...

00:50:19I have to...

00:50:23tell you something.

00:50:26So...

00:50:27Duncan Park?

00:50:28Oh.

00:50:29Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah.

00:50:30Yes.

00:50:31Um...

00:50:32That's on me.

00:50:33I'm so sorry about that.

00:50:36I...

00:50:36It was a slip.

00:50:38It was just a slip.

00:50:39I-I'm...

00:50:40I'm sorry.

00:50:41I apologized.

00:50:42Right away.

00:50:44And, um...

00:50:45Then, I...

00:50:47gave him a free Neurosego L.

00:50:51You...

00:50:53You...

00:50:54Did what?

00:50:55What?

00:50:55Why?

00:50:56That man is worth hundreds of millions of dollars.

00:51:00And he-he is the single most vile, arrogant, incurable...

00:51:04Okay, I see you're still activated.

00:51:06No, no, Gary.

00:51:07You have to listen to me.

00:51:08Okay, can you just let me...

00:51:10You listen to me.

00:51:11May I?

00:51:11May I please?

00:51:11May I?

00:51:15I get it.

00:51:16I do.

00:51:17Sometimes we become resentful of our clients.

00:51:20Oh, please, tell me more.

00:51:23Professor Felder would teach me and mentor me.

00:51:27All right, sarcasm aside, I know a psychiatrist who was in a terrible car accident.

00:51:31He barely survived, broke his neck, and he lost the use of his legs and still went back to treat

00:51:36clients.

00:51:37And I asked him, how do you do this?

00:51:39How do you sit there and listen to people's little complaints after what you've been through?

00:51:43And the answer was, suffering is suffering.

00:51:50Gary, I was there when Phil told you that story.

00:51:58He was...

00:51:59No.

00:52:00He was...

00:52:01No.

00:52:01You're...

00:52:01No, you're wrong.

00:52:02Because Phil was...

00:52:04No, you're mistaken about that.

00:52:06But the point is that Duncan Park deserves therapy as much as anybody anywhere.

00:52:14He's a human being.

00:52:15Rich.

00:52:16Poor.

00:52:17It doesn't matter.

00:52:22Can we stop fighting now, Joanne?

00:52:25I hate to fight with you.

00:52:29Yeah?

00:52:32Anyway.

00:52:34Here.

00:52:38I know that you feel that you don't always get what you want.

00:52:41That's not what I... I didn't mean to...

00:52:43It's okay if you did.

00:52:44I heard you.

00:52:45And I wish I could give you a better...

00:52:52Anyway.

00:52:53Here.

00:53:00You're welcome.

00:53:01Silly.

00:53:05Silly.

00:53:06Oh, man.

00:53:14Yeah?

00:53:16Oh.

00:53:18It...

00:53:21Oh, my God.

00:53:23It's...

00:53:25It's perfect.

00:53:30Yum, right?

00:53:31Mm-hmm.

00:53:32I think this is our new regular.

00:53:34Yeah.

00:53:34I sort of prefer Alpine, but this is good.

00:53:37This is good.

00:53:40Hey, Dad.

00:53:42Can't fire Thelma.

00:53:44She stole my cube, Jim Jim.

00:53:46And you've had so many nannies, anyway.

00:53:49Nope.

00:53:50Just Thelma.

00:53:51Since I was born.

00:53:53You know, what about the hot one when you were young?

00:53:55With the shorts?

00:53:57That was Thelma.

00:53:58That was Thelma.

00:53:59Mm-hmm.

00:54:00Oh, my God.

00:54:01Really?

00:54:01Okay.

00:54:04How about this?

00:54:04You don't tell Mom about the milkshake.

00:54:06And I won't...

00:54:07I won't fire Thelma, okay?

00:54:10Deal.

00:54:14And also...

00:54:15Mm-hmm.

00:54:15I can get into Stanford for real.

00:54:18Without cheating.

00:54:19I don't need all the extra time, and you and Mom will have the money.

00:54:22Okay.

00:54:23Okay.

00:54:24It is Daddy's money.

00:54:26And, sweetie, cheating is doing it for real.

00:54:30The only real cheating is when you cheat yourself.

00:54:33Cheaters never lose.

00:54:35And losers?

00:54:36They never cheat.

00:54:39Okay, Dad.

00:54:50Hmm.

00:54:58Think about the sun.

00:55:02Think about her golden glance.

00:55:10How she lights the world up well.

00:55:15Now it's your chance.

00:55:17With the guardian of splendor.

00:55:21Inviting you to dance.

00:55:26Hey, Ben.

00:55:28Think about the sun.

00:55:34Think about your life, Ben.

00:55:38Days are tame and nights the same.

00:55:41Think about the beauty in one perfect flame.

00:55:47And the angels of the morning.

00:55:51And the angels of the morning are falling out today.

00:55:55Hey, Ben.

00:55:58Think about the sun.

00:56:02Hard off is in my sights.

00:56:05I feel like Jane Goodall.

00:56:06I'm about to shoot a silverback gorilla.

00:56:08I'm guessing you're a veteran of war.

00:56:10Did you kill anyone, Sander?

00:56:12Until we get his transcript, he's not our responsibility.

00:56:16Duncan Park.

00:56:17Hypernosis.

00:56:19Zero days since I've stabbed someone, Joanne.

00:56:22Do you hate me that much?

00:56:23Yes.

00:56:25What happened to your face?

00:56:26What happened to your face?

00:56:28What happened to your face?

00:56:32What's up?

00:56:33Here we go.

00:56:34Action.

00:56:37I nearly socked Lorraine when she signed me up to be a whore.

00:56:41It triggered me like a fire alarm at a fireworks factory.

00:56:45That's how bad it triggered me.

00:56:48Never again.

00:56:49Bardolph goes to see Joanne for anger management purposes.

00:56:52And he's upset at something.

00:56:55I don't know if we really know what that is yet.

00:56:58To me, some of it's just old fashioned generational ageism

00:57:02where he's older and he sees the younger people screwing things up.

00:57:07And she gives him a mnemonic.

00:57:09Stop.

00:57:10S, stop.

00:57:11T, take a step back.

00:57:13O, observe.

00:57:13P, proceed mindfully.

00:57:17It's just a little thing to remember for when that ends.

00:57:20The S of stop is for stop, correct?

00:57:22That was actually bestowed upon one of my writers.

00:57:25And she would joke about that.

00:57:27I may start S is for start.

00:57:30T, throwing thing.

00:57:32Carl.

00:57:32I think it's hysterical from the point of view of Bardolph getting so pissed off on the lack of thought

00:57:39that went into making stop the first step of stop based on a true story.

00:57:45Don't say it.

00:57:46I'm gonna say it.

00:57:46Don't say it.

00:57:47I'm gonna say it.

00:57:48Retarded.

00:57:48Okay.

00:57:49And the last T is for therapists.

00:57:51I am going to start throwing things at retarded therapists.

00:57:57You're out.

00:57:59What was Joanne texting Gary about?

00:58:01She wants a gun.

00:58:03A gun.

00:58:04Uh-oh.

00:58:05Also in episode two, you have a real ratcheting up of the Joanne Duncan dynamic.

00:58:12What?

00:58:13He feels like they were going to be partners.

00:58:15And now she's not returning his calls.

00:58:17She's ghosting him.

00:58:18I don't want to sorrow you.

00:58:20Duncan breaking into Joanne's house.

00:58:22First of all, it's probably my favorite scene in the season.

00:58:25I just love it.

00:58:26These two actors are duking it out in a way that's incredibly gratifying to watch.

00:58:32I just have to say, like, working with Sarah has been an absolute treat.

00:58:36You know, it's important, like, to show up every day to work and be inspired by the people around you

00:58:41to push harder and, you know, be better.

00:58:44It was just a little insider trading.

00:58:49But you can't unfuck that bell.

00:58:52You committed a crime, and I'm the natural consequence of that crime.

00:58:55It is the moment when their character's wants and needs come to a collision point.

00:59:03Joanne seemingly gives in.

00:59:05All I need is just one of your clients.

00:59:08Carl Bardolph.

00:59:10Carl Bardolph.

00:59:12We know that Carl Bardolph is violently angry and does not want people talking to him and worshiping at his

00:59:18feet.

00:59:19She does not mention that to Duncan.

00:59:20That will play out in the next episode of The Audacity.

00:59:24.

00:59:25.

00:59:26.

00:59:28.
