eighth power read on Agent of Shadows, and the transfer failure is the sharpest joke in it.
In his world, he outranks almost everyone. Access, clearance, the ability to make a phone call that changes a person's week.
At the school gate, he's a man who isn't on the collection list. That's it. That's the whole status.
There's a scene where he's told to wait, and he waits, for eleven minutes, and it's the longest he's ever been made to wait in the series.
The show doesn't underline it. It doesn't need to.
✨ What worked for me:
- The eleven minutes is real screen time. Barely any cuts.
- He doesn't make a phone call. That's the character.
✨ Bottom line: every hierarchy is local, and the ones you can't see are the ones that apply.
Where are you the least powerful person in the room?

00:00Dad?
00:01Is that you?
00:02Millie.
00:03Honey, what did I say about claiming someone's your dad?
00:05It's...
00:07I'm manipulative.
00:09Thought he would make a good dad if he looks like a prince.
00:14I have a daughter.
00:16I will do anything to keep her safe.
00:19Actually, Millie.
00:20I'm not a prince, but I am.
00:21Headphones.
00:22Okay.
00:26Millie's my world.
00:27You don't get to just show up and be her dad.
00:29Megan, I had no idea she even existed.
00:32Right.
00:32But I'm here now.
00:36And I want to be a part of her life.
00:38You want to be Millie's life?
00:39Yes, very much.
00:40You can be her name.
00:43Excuse me?
00:44Her last name had moved away.
00:45You want to prove that you can handle being a father?
00:46Then you can start by being a babysitter.
00:50Babysitter.
00:51Yeah, that's what I thought.
00:53Well, it was nice seeing you.
00:55Adam, let's catch up again in another eight years, okay?
00:58Come on, baby.
01:00Wait, Millie.
01:01Yeah?
01:03I love the lizard on your shirt.
01:05It's an iguana.
01:06They're my favorite animal.
01:07Is it because it is?
01:11Who are you?
01:12Well, Millie, I'm your new nanny.
01:25You must be Millie's nanny.
01:43I'm Adam.
01:45And you are?
01:46I'm your nanny.
01:48And from what I've heard, your last job was slinging drinks at a dive bar.
01:51Is that right?
01:53My last job was rescuing the president.
01:55You'll be supervised at all times.
01:57And if you ever try to tell Millie that you're her real father, you will never speak to her again.
02:02Got it?
02:04Vivian.
02:05Hey, Vivian.
02:08We need to talk.
02:09I trust Margo whenever the rule's with you.
02:11Yeah?
02:11But if that sounds like too much, then feel free to disappear for another eight years.
02:19Great.
02:20Now that that's settled, Millie's in the dining room having lunch.
02:28Mr. Adam!
02:29Yay!
02:31Millie, we do not throw forks.
02:33But it's fun to throw forks.
02:36I'm her nanny.
02:38I'll take care of it.
02:41Millie, you see, if we're gonna throw forks, you need the proper technique.
02:50Cool!
02:50How do you know how to do that?
02:53My other job?
02:54Mommy said your other job was being a bum.
02:59Can you keep a secret?
03:01Mm-hmm.
03:02My other job is saving the world.
03:05Don't tell anybody.
03:06I won't.
03:07Promise?
03:07Yeah.
03:11What are you doing?
03:15Millie, can you go with Margo, baby?
03:16I gotta talk to Adam.
03:18Okay.
03:20Bye, Mr. Adam!
03:21Bye, Millie.
03:24This was a mistake.
03:26This was a huge mistake.
03:27Vivian, look.
03:28I know you think I'm just a person.
03:29I can't deal with an irresponsible man-child right now, Adam.
03:32I really can't.
03:33I have way bigger concerns.
03:35Like what?
03:37Like...
03:37ME!
03:38ME!
03:47Oh, how many times do I have to tell you, Vivian?
03:53If you wanna run your charity operation in my neighborhood, you gotta pay.
03:59Otherwise, bad things happen.
04:02People get hurt.
04:08Is that so?
04:13What do we got here?
04:14A little delicate flower.
04:17Who's this, your new boyfriend?
04:20Actually.
04:21He's my daughter's nanny.
04:27The daughter's nanny!
04:29That is so cute!
04:31Mr. Mary Poppins!
04:34Tell you what, why don't you go bake me a few cookies while me and your boss, we have a
04:40little one-on-one time.
04:41Um...
04:42Actually.
04:43I got a better idea.
04:44Adam!
04:45Whatever you're trying to do, it's not helping.
04:47Look, I know you think I'm just a bartender, but the truth-
04:50Get out!
04:51Now!
04:58Run along, Mr. Mom!
05:01Why don't you go dust your knob?
05:03Why us, uh, drone folks, have a little talk.
05:11All right, boys, that's how you have a good day.
05:15Right?
05:16You make money, you have fun, and you...
05:19Oh, look who it is!
05:22Hello, boys.
05:23It's the nanny.
05:37What are you doing?
05:38You know who the hell I am?
05:39You know what I could do to you with one call?
05:42Do it.
05:43Call him.
05:45I will.
05:46I'm guessing you're gonna call the mayor's office, and I'll call the mayor.
05:50I'll call a senator, and round and round, we go.
05:53You're small fish, I have bigger things to worry about than you.
05:56So instead, I just had my people delete your entire digital presence.
06:02Bye-bye, bitch.
06:04So congrats, you no longer exist.
06:06No, no, that's impossible.
06:09No!
06:10No!
06:11No!
06:13By the way, there's money for a cab.
06:19If you ever come near Millie or Vivian again, your bank accounts won't be the only thing that disappeared tonight.
06:25Now run away, little man.
06:28Get the fuck out of here, all of you.
06:34Who are you?
06:37I'm the nanny.
06:52What did you say to him?
06:53Nothing.
06:54I was just getting this.
06:55This is not a joke.
06:57Adam, these are dangerous people.
07:04Hey, listen.
07:06I'm sorry.
07:07I am so sorry.
07:09We will never ever bother you again.
07:17Adam, what did you...
07:20Who are you?
07:21Really?
07:23I'm nobody.
07:24I'm just Millie's nanny.
07:26Speaking of which, I should get back to work.
07:28We're baking cookies.
07:33Don't throw that again.
07:35We'll be in the kitchen.
07:37I wanna help.
07:44See if you can do it with me on your back.
07:46Okay.
07:47Let's go.
07:48You ready?
07:49Yeah.
07:49Okay.
07:52Dad, you're it.
07:54Where are you going?
08:00Mighty Millie, she's gonna dive off the top rope.
08:03Boom!
08:04And the crowd goes wild!
08:05Oh!
08:06Mighty Millie!
08:09Good job, girl.
08:15Yes!
08:22You sure about this?
08:25It's perfect.
08:27I'm not remotely qualified to comment on this type of equipment.
08:34It's a birthday present.
08:36These will love it.
08:38She loves iguanas.
08:41I don't know. I'm out of my depth.
08:43Yep.
08:47Adam!
08:48What are you doing here?
08:49Adam! Adam! You came! You came to my birthday!
08:51Hey!
08:52How's it going?
08:53Good!
08:54Do you have any cake yet?
08:55No.
08:56Really?
08:57Well, we gotta change that.
08:59Leo, Dina, this is, um, Adam.
09:02Oh!
09:03The new nanny!
09:04My Jeremy had a little bit too much cake and he met a huge mess over there.
09:10You don't like getting up some vomit, do you?
09:13Oh my God! You won't believe who I ran into!
09:16Trevor Maltese, your ex!
09:18Oh, he looks great!
09:21And apparently, he just ran into a ton of money.
09:24That sounds a little suspicious.
09:38You speak French?
09:40French, Arabic, Russian, Japanese, a little bit of Latin.
09:44Oh, yeah, sure.
09:45You're a good person.
09:46You're a good person.
09:48Vivian, he's mocking us!
09:50Oh, really? What did I say?
09:51Adam, clean up the vomit, please.
09:54I brought you a birthday present.
09:59It's an iguana!
10:00It sure is.
10:01Now, when you get scared, squeeze it and I'll come running.
10:12It's a real iguana!
10:13It sure is, young lady.
10:16Trevor, what are you doing here?
10:19Nice to meet you, little one.
10:20I'm your uncle Trevor.
10:22You can take us to go on to the room.
10:23Oh, my God.
10:25What a hunk!
10:27I think my ovary just exploded.
10:32Vivian, I left you nine years ago because I truly didn't believe I was worthy of someone so stunning, magnificent,
10:39and perfect.
10:41And now I'm back.
10:42And I'm here to tell you I haven't stopped thinking about you a single day.
10:47What are you waiting for?
10:49Go to him!
10:50Millie's father is right there.
10:52Oh, come on. He's a party boy who knocked you up.
10:54Besides, look at Trevor.
10:57Now that is a man that could take care of you both.
10:59Vivi, I'm back to save you.
11:02I don't need saving.
11:03That's not what I heard.
11:04You had some issues with the Abruzos?
11:07It's been handled.
11:09And who do you think handled that?
11:11That was you?
11:20Is he my daddy?
11:24Is he my daddy?
11:45Plus, you ain't gonna like this one bit.
11:49All my bank accounts disappeared!
11:51What am I gonna do?
11:53You can start by acting like a real man.
12:03You know who I am?
12:06Yeah?
12:06And why are your men still pointing their guns at me?
12:11Put them away!
12:12Now!
12:16Good.
12:18Now.
12:21I want the little girl.
12:23The daughter?
12:24Why?
12:26Do you play chess, Gary?
12:29Everyone watches the king.
12:31Smart players.
12:33They watch the queen.
12:35But the dangerous ones.
12:38Well, they dismantle the board.
12:41The first move's already been made.
12:43So you were the one that got them all off my back?
12:45Of course.
12:46If I want something, I get it.
12:49Oh, you're so full of it, Trevor.
12:52Billy, cover your ears, Vivi.
12:54Okay.
12:56You're a piece of shit.
12:57Adam.
12:59Not now.
12:59You need to know the truth, Vivian.
13:01This guy's a liar.
13:02I think your nanny's got a bit of a crush on you, Vivi.
13:03Vivian, he's just here for your money.
13:06Money?
13:07Please!
13:08I've been making a fortune in Mediterranean real estate the last nine years.
13:12You've been in prison for selling drugs to college kids for the last nine years, buddy.
13:17You're...
13:18You're crazy.
13:18He's crazy.
13:19You're crazy.
13:20How would you even know something like that?
13:22You think it's time you know the truth about whoever they am?
13:26Okay.
13:27Who are you, Adam?
13:29Really?
13:30Look, I can't tell you here.
13:31Can we go somewhere private?
13:32Okay, no.
13:33Anything you have to say, you can say in front of my friends.
13:35So who are you?
13:36Go ahead.
13:38Vivian, you need to trust me.
13:42I trust you, Adam.
13:45That's my girl.
13:47Oh, fantastic.
13:49Getting your daughter to turn on me?
13:50Great.
13:51Adam, you need to go.
13:52Are you serious?
13:53Okay, enough of this, Vivian.
13:54I've got this.
13:55Why don't me and you have a nice private chat?
13:57Over here.
13:58Let's do it.
14:02Look, Adam, I don't really know how you know what you know, but I'm gonna be honest.
14:08I can't really have you coming around here, messing everything up for me.
14:14Oh, you really don't want to stab me with that, Trevor.
14:16Oh, you're right.
14:17I don't.
14:18Raymond Strauss sends his regards.
14:22What are you doing?
14:24Stop!
14:24He's got me!
14:25He's got me!
14:29Oh my God, Adam, what did you do?
14:31Whoa, whoa, whoa, okay, look.
14:31I didn't do anything.
14:32Trevor did this to himself.
14:34Well, I need to sit.
14:35Trevor!
14:37Viv, who is this psychopath?
14:38You need to get him out of your house.
14:40I just called the cops.
14:41They'll be here any minute.
14:43Okay, Vivian, please listen to me.
14:45He's lying.
14:46Oh, I clearly came at the right time.
14:49You're really gonna let this man know your daughter, huh?
14:51What are you talking about?
14:52Excuse me, miss.
14:53We got a call about an attack.
14:54Yeah, it's him right here.
14:56For me?
14:57Vivian, don't listen to him.
14:58He's lying and he's dangerous.
15:00Vivian, think about Millie.
15:02Who do you want her around?
15:03The dangerous nanny?
15:04Or the man that saved you from the mob?
15:10Get him out of here.
15:11Vivian, please.
15:13Go quietly.
15:14You really want Millie to see you cuffed.
15:18Millie, baby.
15:18Oh, no, no, no.
15:19You don't get to speak to her.
15:21Cuff him.
15:22Come on.
15:23Vivian, please.
15:24Can you just do this away from my daughter?
15:25Come on, bud.
15:26You're making a mistake.
15:26All right, protein bomb.
15:27Let's go.
15:27Come on.
15:28You have no idea who I am.
15:32Officers, wait.
15:33No, no, no, Vivi.
15:33It's fine.
15:34You just hope to spend it to me.
15:36I'm here to protect you now.
15:38All right.
15:41Well, boys, there you go.
15:43Just like Mr. Strauss said.
15:48Now, let's go get the daughter.
15:53I don't know what you were thinking with that guy.
15:55I don't know.
15:56I screwed up.
15:57That's my Vivi.
15:58Always so trusting.
16:00It's fine.
16:01He's gone now.
16:04I don't know how I didn't see it.
16:06I almost let him into Millie's life.
16:09Hey.
16:10It's okay.
16:11He's gone.
16:12Now I'm here to take care of you.
16:14Protect you from those freaks trying to take advantage of you.
16:20Hey!
16:22What we got here?
16:23Looks like a party.
16:26But I don't think we've got an invitation.
16:34What was that?
16:35No, no, no.
16:36Shh, shh, shh, shh.
16:37Don't worry about it.
16:38Be here with me now.
16:47Trevor, do something.
16:49Who are these guys?
16:50The Bruzo.
16:51You said you got them off my back.
16:52Oh, these guys?
16:53Yeah, no.
16:54I did.
16:54Let me handle this.
16:55Hey!
16:56Thought I'd talk to you boys.
16:57Leave them alone.
16:59Don't make me have to step in.
17:01You hear him?
17:02Who are you trying to be?
17:05Get the daughter.
17:07No!
17:09No.
17:09Never get scared.
17:10Squeeze it, and I'll come running.
17:18Millie.
17:19You guys need to take me back right now.
17:21Listen, protein bar.
17:22We're in charge, okay?
17:24Yeah.
17:24You're the criminal here.
17:25We're the ones in charge.
17:26She's zipping.
17:27No, you're not.
17:28The second you put my name in that system,
17:29ten agencies were alerted.
17:30Right now, your boss's boss's boss is having a heart attack.
17:33And any second now, your captain's gonna come on my radio
17:36and tell you to do exactly what I say,
17:38which is take me back to that house right now.
17:40That's the price you pay.
17:44Leave behind your heart and count on me.
17:48You're funny, Jackstrap.
17:49I gotta say, you're funny.
17:50You should be on board.
17:51What have you idiots done?
17:53Do you have any?
17:53Do you ever resist?
17:54Take it backwards.
17:55All our heads.
17:59No, we're real sorry about it.
18:00Yeah, look.
18:01We didn't know.
18:01We didn't know.
18:02In fact, he took a call and we'll let you hold the gun.
18:04Let me drive a cruise.
18:05Let me drive a cruise.
18:06Let me drive a cruise.
18:22Let me drive a cruise.
18:24Let me drive a cruise.
18:24Let me drive a cruise.
18:29One more wave.
18:30What is this?
18:31I thought the debt was paid off.
18:33No, no, no, no, no, no.
18:34You sent your man to ambush me.
18:38You ambushed him?
18:41You really think this guy could get one over on me?
18:46That's what I thought.
18:48Scared, aren't we, little boy?
18:50Guess who says?
18:54Your boss.
18:58Thank goodness.
19:00What is she talking about?
19:02Sorry, baby.
19:04Now, give me a girl.
19:06Oh, boys.
