You're with them now… Christopher's crew.
I told everybody you're a doctor.
Oh, Copano and Harrington.
Say your touching goodbyes or whatever, fast.
Splitting you two up.
Kiki, Reutical isn't a bad company, right?
She's with them. She's a spy.
I got it.
Reutical Pharmaceuticals.
Hello? Marshall?
We're going to take care of Mr. Marshall.
It's already in motion.
- Oh, sorry. - No problem.
It's okay. Relax.
It's over.
Aah!
It is over.
Get him out, get him out.
- You two have beef? - Beef?
I-I've never seen him before.
Somebody… I think somebody sent him or…
Oh, God!
I-I have to get out of here.
I have to get out. I have to get out!
Hey! If you haven't noticed, that don't work.
You're in here. This is your reality.
I just saved your life, okay?
That means your life belongs to me.
I'll send for you.
Thank you, Kelly. Can you check with Legal,
see if they've signed off on the new Lavinol ad?
Of course. Um, but there is a…
Wow. I love saying stuff like that.
"Check with Legal." This is my life now.
And Legal really has to check.
Um, someone's here to see you, though.
From the federal government?
Um, I didn't solve this.
I-I don't know who did. I… It was just here.
And you're Vice President of Marketing now?
Uh-huh. Yeah.
Love to see women succeeding.
You used to be Rick's assistant, right?
Uh-huh.
I used to be an assistant.
My boss had a nickname…
Jonas "the Wolf."
You were Jonas Backstein's assistant?
That's right.
Now I'm Deputy National Security Director for Threat Assessment.
I handle all kinds of dangers to this country.
Frances, I want to talk to you about a mushroom.
Oh! Um, yeah, I don't really talk about the products
that we are currently working on.
Does Marshall know you brought the mushroom here?
Marshall?
Probably not, right? He's in jail.
You know what, okay, um, I'm, um…
not sure I should that I should be talking to you
without a lawyer.
We're on the same team here. Save me some time.
I-I'm sorry. I, um… I-I need you to leave.
Where are the original samples?
Here, in a lab somewhere?
Have you been able to replicate it?
I need you to leave.
Kelly, can you see Cecily out?
We can work together.
Or…
Hiya! Do you need parking validation?
Or maybe I'll take it up with Jonas.
Goodbye, Frances. And good luck with everything.
I'm sure it will be smooth sailing from here.
Are you… Oh.
Um, can I get you anything else?
Yeah. I'll have a triple espresso.
Add an extra shot.
Jonas, we've got a big fucking problem here.
The mushroom samples were brought
to your own pharmaceutical company.
Was this your plan? Look, I don't…
You handle this one, Jonas.
You know, I love standing like this?
I pretend I'm an eagle or an owl.
Any kind of bird.
Do you consider an owl a bird?
Rick, please stand back. That glass is not reinforced.
Hey, check this out.
Helipad! Isn't that beautiful?
If you get rich enough, you can just fly around.
And it's your mushroom that did this, Frances.
We are gonna make so goddamn much money.
Look, Rick, I was just visited by someone
from the federal government.
The FDA? They have to announce that.
There's a whole schedule.
I-I don't even know who she was. She was scary.
Well, did you tell her anything?
No. She said she knew Jonas Backstein.
Yeah, so what? So do I. He's coming here this week.
He thought that mushroom was nothing.
But when I show him what we've got, he'll have to be like,
"Excellent, Rick. More than satisfactory.
Join me on my sailboat for wines."
Yeah. The government is
such a little bitch, honestly.
Yeah. Y-You're right. I'm gonna be fine.
Mm-hmm. Mom will be looked after.
I'll be safe. I'll be secure.
Trust me, you're with us now, the helicopter people.
We don't worry about the down-there problems.
Oh. Sorry. I'll be right back.
Geez, Frannie.
I don't think anyone's sadder about your mom dying than me.
Well, it's not a contest, Uncle Dan.
So when are you gonna come visit us in Idaho?
Hi, yeah. Can I talk to Frances?
- What's up? - Nothing. You just looked
like you needed saving. I know you're hurting right now.
Take these. They'll make you feel like
you're being hugged by a panda in a bubble bath.
- We make these? - Off-market.
But they make pain fly away.
Thanks.
God, I wish my mom were here.
Everybody came, even crazy Uncle Dan.
Rick? I'll be right back.
Rick. I…
Oh, God, Frances.
I'm so sorry for your loss.
Oh, uh, thanks.
Uh…
Look at this.
The Sonia Applewhite Fund.
Towards research, or whatever. We'll figure that out.
Reutical is gonna make a substantial donation.
I don't know what to say. This…
When you lose your mom, that's…
that's something.
A mom, I mean…
you only get one of those.
I feel like I lost my mom twice.
The mushroom brought her back.
Falling out of a tree? Who would've guessed?
At least she felt alive again.
Sorry. It's not funny. She's dead.
Can we give people the good part of that without the dying part?
I think we can.
Your mom would be proud of you, Frances.
She would've loved being on a pamphlet.
I see it… a world behind this one
that will swallow this place
and… and heal us all.
I go there. You'll be there, too.
It loves you.
You seen Colorado Car Crash Angel Man?
Everybody out there losing their damn minds.
Sit. That attack wasn't random. Someone sent him.
You must be important. Are you important, Marshall?
I'm really not, Christopher.
I've been betrayed by somebody I really trusted.
I gotta get out of here. What can I… how am I gonna…
Hey! I don't think you're gonna live very long.
- What? - Whoever attacked you…
they'll be after you again.
I can only protect you so much.
You better make yourself useful. Hector!
You're a doctor, right? Hector, show him your foot.
Oh, boy. Uh, I'm not a doctor. So…
You're close enough.
As long as you're around, you work for me.
Or should I kill you myself?
It might make the important people happy.
Ugh, okay. Well, let's look.
Uh, ugh.
Are you diabetic?
You should probably cut down on sugar.
Not gonna happen with this boy.
Listen, do you think there's any way
you could get me something called tetrodotoxin?
It's extracted from pufferfish.
And I would also need someone…
I can get you cigarettes.
This is your life now. Accept it.
What the hell, man?
I don't like music. It's distracting.
You ever hear about the loneliest whale in the world?
Whales have songs, right? They sing to each other.
And the songs are at,
like, 160 megahertz, uh,
something like that. I forget the specifics.
But they're all within that range.
Yet there's this one whale
who sings at, like, 50 megahertz.
No one knows why.
But none of the other whales can hear him.
So he just goes around singing,
and the other whales don't even know he's there.
My old partner told me that.
Eh. I'm not interested in whales.
Whoa! There he goes!
Hey, stop!
- Ugh! - Trying to steal Sudafil?
I got a cold. Ah!
You're gonna cook meth, ya dirtbag.
- Nice grab. - Yeah.
Busted the world's greatest criminal mastermind.
I wish we could just run up and start tasing people.
Yeah, that's not how it works.
Hey, I was rolling but I'm coming down super hard.
You know where I could score?
Hey. Can I buy some molly?
This is so real to me.
I just need to keep this feeling going.
$80 for five.
You have the fucking right to remain fucking silent.
Enough!
Okay, this one is cute as shit. You should get this.
Kiki, it's $800.
That's, like, less than a day of work for you now.
That's like going into the office
and spending three hours on Instagram.
Jesus. Wow. Is that bad?
Spending three hours on Instagram?
It is if you're, like, spiraling.
I mean, is it okay that I can afford this tiny wallet
from selling medicine?
Like, what kind of twisted system is making that happen?
Okay, do not go hippie on me, especially not here.
Have you not struggled?
Yeah. I have absolutely struggled.
Have you not worked hard? Gone above and beyond?
- Tracked down some new thing? - Yeah, I did do that.
I went through a lot. I deserve…
Something. Get yours. It's Frances time!
You just lost your mom. Treat yourself.
Oh, my God. I'm so sorry.
It's like, what's the point of money
when I lost the only person I could talk to?
And the only other person who cared about me is stuck in jail
and will probably never speak to me again.
But, hey, at least I got this tiny, little wallet.
Okay, you gave Marshall the opportunity
to be a part of this.
It's not your fault.
He's judgmental, and dude never had a plan.
Thank you! Yes.
There could have been a compromise
if he would have just listened to me.
Yeah. That guy suuuuucks.
Yeah. This is what my mom wanted.
We're gonna synthesize it, we're gonna test it,
we're gonna distribute it,
and we are gonna save lives, Kiki!
I'll be buying this.
And I'd like it to be monogrammed.
- Please. - Hell yes. We love this Frances.
This is who you are.
Oh, no. No.
- Sit down. - Who are you?
I volunteer here, okay?
Ever since I found out that you were here.
Okay. And what do you know about me?
I'm a mycologist.
The DEA hired me to go to your house.
You're DEA?
Well, fuck off and die then.
I don't work for them anymore.
I found one of your mushrooms, and I took it from them.
I saw what it can do.
- You did? - Uh-huh.
It helped someone I love very much.
This is my son, Wyatt.
And this is him after I gave him your mushroom.
He can breathe on his own now.
You changed my son's life.
Okay, right now, that mushroom is with a woman I cannot trust.
She's gonna bring it to her evil company,
and I need to stop them.
If I don't get out of here soon, you don't understand…
Yeah, but they're just… they're never gonna be able
to grow it, okay? Look, you're stuck in here.
Just tell me how to grow it. I have tried everything.
Okay. Well, yeah, it's tricky.
Uh, it feeds on industrial runoff.
Yeah, okay, b-but what did you use for the substrate?
Where was the fiber coming from?
- Was there dung? - Dung?
Like animal, like something it was feeding on?
Listen, you're a scientist. Have you heard of fugu?
Wait. Pufferfish?
With the poison in it?
You gotta cut it real carefully?
Yes! Exactly. Uh, they use it for Haitian voodoo.
How much do you know about that? Zombie powder?
- I've read Wade Davis. - Yes!
So then you know about…
Tetrodotoxin. TTX. I mean, the wrong dose of that,
I mean, even just a little bit, like, that'll…
that'll kill you.
I know.
I can get it.
Oh, my day? Yeah, I arrested this guy.
Yeah, that's right. Real bad guy, this dude.
Real monster. He was stealing medicine.
Sudafil. Yeah.
Yeah, explain to me how that makes any sense.
He steals this medicine
and uses an ingredient to make another medicine.
Only that other medicine is bad,
makes you crazy, so it's illegal.
Well, it's illegal if you make it yourself.
If a big pharma company makes pretty much the same thing,
calls it ADD medicine, then you can prescribe it to kids.
He's trying to get fucked up
cause he's got a fucked-up life like everybody.
I try to stop him. Never ends.
Hey, real quick, is anyone with you?
No, nobody's here. Why?
- Surprise. - Girl, what the…?
I took some vacation days. I thought, what better place
than beautiful Syracuse, New York?
That doesn't look like enough Panda Kingdom for both of us.
Luckily, I also stopped at Panda Kingdom.
So, have you learned anything interesting
- about your favorite guy? - Get this.
Talked to a buddy with New York State Police.
They told me they'd never pursue an arson across state lines.
That must've come from higher up.
Tonight.
Hoang, just FYI, um,
I'm gonna die tonight.
What? Shut the fuck up, man. Don't be weird.
It's true. I'm gonna die tonight.
Shut the fuck up, man.
When you know you're going to die,
suddenly things occur to you.
You… You start putting it all together.
Shut the fuck up, man. Shut up!
Like the mushroom. The Blue Angel.
I know how it grows now.
He eats the grass. He makes a poop.
And what's the poop?
The poop is perfect.
It's a substrate. It has everything.
And the spores of the mushroom fall on this poop.
That's why they grew where they did.
Socrates is the key.
Frances doesn't know. She can't grow it.
But we can.
And if I get out of here, I'm gonna find him.
Either way, first, Hoang, I have to die.
Goodbye, Hoang.
Yo, man. Yo.
Yo. Yo!
Yo! Help! Help! I need help in here!
I need help! Help!
I need help!
