Come back here. Hello. 0:00:30.880 --> 0:00:32.720 My name is Jason Concepcion. 0:00:32.600 --> 0:00:34.880 And I'm Mersey Night and welcome. 0:00:34.560 --> 0:00:36.199 Back to x ray Vision of the podcast where we 0:00:36.280 --> 0:00:39.080 dive Dee to do your favorite Joe's movies, comics of 0:00:39.159 --> 0:00:41.760 pop culture Coming from My Heart podcast where we're bringing 0:00:41.760 --> 0:00:44.840 you three episodes every single week plus news. 0:00:46.720 --> 0:00:53.120 This week, we are talking about that very penultimate episode Severance. 0:00:53.479 --> 0:00:58.640 What can they reveal before the season ends that is 0:00:58.680 --> 0:01:01.720 going to keep people happy and keep people hooked. That's 0:01:01.760 --> 0:01:04.520 really what we're gonna be theorizing about after we break 0:01:04.560 --> 0:01:08.760 down all of the shocking and also shocking events. This 0:01:08.880 --> 0:01:11.559 is a very interesting episode because it feels both full 0:01:12.240 --> 0:01:15.520 and also slightly empty, especially after the big reveals of 0:01:15.959 --> 0:01:17.280 the last episode. 0:01:17.360 --> 0:01:19.119 So we're gonna talk about it. 0:01:19.319 --> 0:01:23.039 Theories are gonna be popping, and people are gonna be arguing. 0:01:23.520 --> 0:01:26.840 It's a stressful one, okay. 0:01:26.959 --> 0:01:31.800 Season two episode nine of Severance The After Hours penultimate 0:01:31.840 --> 0:01:36.720 episode ten episode season this season, in contrast to season 0:01:36.800 --> 0:01:41.919 one's nine episode run. We open at the Egan family compound, 0:01:42.560 --> 0:01:47.760 where we see Helena Egan going through her morning routine, 0:01:48.320 --> 0:01:52.480 which is lots of laps in the pool, and then 0:01:52.520 --> 0:01:56.640 she goes to see her dad, Jame the whispery Joe 0:01:56.720 --> 0:01:58.480 Bie voiced James. 0:01:58.760 --> 0:02:01.120 Yeah, this man so creepy. 0:02:02.720 --> 0:02:06.200 He's an ancient guy, and it's a big day, apparently, 0:02:06.240 --> 0:02:10.920 he says, a momentous day. His revolving. I would assume 0:02:11.000 --> 0:02:14.120 this is. You know, he's talked about this when we 0:02:14.200 --> 0:02:17.160 saw him at the end of season one. His revolving 0:02:17.200 --> 0:02:19.639 is coming up, and we know that Cold Harbor is 0:02:19.680 --> 0:02:22.960 at ninety six percent, so this is These things are 0:02:22.960 --> 0:02:27.600 probably all interlinked somehow, but a big day. Helena agrees. 0:02:28.080 --> 0:02:30.720 She asks, are you gonna eat? Are you eating today? 0:02:31.280 --> 0:02:34.919 He says, nobody's gonna watch her eat creepy a boiled 0:02:35.000 --> 0:02:39.000 egg while he SIPs coffee, and she like carefully slices 0:02:39.160 --> 0:02:42.600 this one egg and then eats it on a porcelain 0:02:42.600 --> 0:02:47.960 plate that appears to be have like a artwork like seven. 0:02:48.080 --> 0:02:53.320 It looks like seventeenth century Dutch artwork depicting a dentistry scene. 0:02:54.880 --> 0:02:56.160 Very creepy, and. 0:02:56.520 --> 0:03:00.840 She's like carefully slicing up this hard boiled egg and 0:03:01.000 --> 0:03:04.040 Dad says, I wish you'd take them raw, which is 0:03:04.040 --> 0:03:08.760 a reference to Cure's kiri in the ancestors favorite meal, 0:03:08.800 --> 0:03:12.840 which is apparently raw eggs. So how they that's running 0:03:12.840 --> 0:03:16.720 in the family, that that desire desk on. I know. 0:03:18.639 --> 0:03:23.280 Helly then gets driven away, presumably to Lumen, as we 0:03:23.360 --> 0:03:26.520 get the drone shot pulling away from the compound revealing 0:03:26.520 --> 0:03:28.880 the huge Lumin water tower, allowing us to kind of 0:03:30.240 --> 0:03:34.960 situate the Egan mansion in town. And it does make 0:03:35.040 --> 0:03:38.240 me wonder if there is if this whole town isn't 0:03:38.320 --> 0:03:40.720 in some way under the sway of Lumen, no one 0:03:40.760 --> 0:03:41.400 form or another. 0:03:41.680 --> 0:03:46.160 I would also say lots of theories abound about the 0:03:46.200 --> 0:03:50.680 potential that Lumen is putting something in the water. Lumen 0:03:51.120 --> 0:03:56.640 is trying to influence people's behavior by you know, drugging 0:03:56.680 --> 0:03:59.920 them so that they cannot or can do stain thing. 0:04:00.120 --> 0:04:01.960 So we'll talk about that more in the theories, but 0:04:02.040 --> 0:04:05.119 I felt like the massive Lumen water tower is very 0:04:05.800 --> 0:04:09.000 inspiring for those who are theory minded among us. 0:04:09.280 --> 0:04:13.160 Yes, we go to Lumen where Eustacewong is with Milchick 0:04:13.840 --> 0:04:20.279 and he is celebrating her matriculation. I guess or graduation 0:04:20.520 --> 0:04:23.600 from the Wintertide Fellowship. She is the Wintertide Fellow for 0:04:23.640 --> 0:04:29.120 this year at Lumen, and Miltchik is also clearly pleased 0:04:29.120 --> 0:04:33.080 because he's getting a antagonist out of his office, someone 0:04:33.080 --> 0:04:35.880 who's been like he's been engaged in a little power 0:04:35.920 --> 0:04:39.279 struggle with. She is now leaving her parents' house to 0:04:39.360 --> 0:04:44.039 travel along with her bed, which, forgive me if I'm wrong, 0:04:44.080 --> 0:04:47.800 but isn't that like one of Rickens things is that 0:04:47.839 --> 0:04:50.440 a child has to stay in the same bed, same bed. 0:04:50.600 --> 0:04:54.640 And also as well, Jason, you know, I think you 0:04:54.920 --> 0:04:59.200 uncovered that this made me think of during the in 0:04:59.320 --> 0:05:03.239 between episodes eight and nine, could you talk a little 0:05:03.240 --> 0:05:07.560 bit about Cold Taba being a kind of analog for 0:05:07.640 --> 0:05:10.200 a real furniture company. 0:05:11.320 --> 0:05:13.080 Oh yes, let's talk about that. 0:05:13.160 --> 0:05:13.320 Well. 0:05:13.520 --> 0:05:16.120 First of all, I just want to remind people about 0:05:16.160 --> 0:05:20.320 the scene from last season in which Mark is sleeping, 0:05:20.560 --> 0:05:22.520 you know, at Devin Rickens. He's slipping in this tiny 0:05:22.520 --> 0:05:27.039 bed and then they start talking about, like Rickens colleagues 0:05:27.240 --> 0:05:31.320 theories of beds that Ricken is apparently adopted, and Mark goes, 0:05:31.360 --> 0:05:33.280 I still don't get the three beds. Ricken says, right, 0:05:33.640 --> 0:05:36.880 Devin says Rickens. Colleagues told us that switching out of 0:05:36.920 --> 0:05:39.480 the beds as the child grows can wound that child, 0:05:39.520 --> 0:05:42.120 and Rickens says irreparably. But if you provide said child 0:05:42.160 --> 0:05:44.599 with all of its beds upon birth, you allow it 0:05:44.640 --> 0:05:47.000 to progress across the room at its own rate, which 0:05:47.040 --> 0:05:53.000 sounds ridiculous. But now Eustace Wong is going to Sarbard 0:05:53.680 --> 0:05:58.120 with the bed from her parents' home. So thinking about 0:05:58.160 --> 0:06:03.560 the way Luman was quite eager to adopt Ricken's philosophies 0:06:03.680 --> 0:06:09.320 for use inside the severed floor, and the way apparently 0:06:10.000 --> 0:06:13.640 his quote unquote colleague has a theory of beds that 0:06:14.080 --> 0:06:17.719 is already adopted at Lumen. It makes you wonder about 0:06:17.760 --> 0:06:22.400 the ties between Ricken and Devon and Lumini. 0:06:22.560 --> 0:06:25.360 I was gonna say that Devin as and Ricken is 0:06:25.480 --> 0:06:28.800 ops is feeling more likely than ever fifth episode. 0:06:29.000 --> 0:06:32.920 I mean, certainly there are there must be spies in town, 0:06:33.040 --> 0:06:35.920 like this town is filled with lumin spies, of course, 0:06:35.960 --> 0:06:38.680 so it's quite just possible that he's just knew Allumin 0:06:39.360 --> 0:06:42.960 person who had adopted this philosophy for themselves. But it's 0:06:43.040 --> 0:06:46.400 very interesting that now the bed thing is is popped 0:06:46.440 --> 0:06:49.440 up again. Anyway, she's disappointed. She's going to savar barge. 0:06:49.480 --> 0:06:51.159 She thought she was going to stay for the quarter, 0:06:51.800 --> 0:06:53.800 and Miltchik's like, no, you're not saying for the quarter. 0:06:54.160 --> 0:06:56.760 And guess what, you got to destroy your little ring 0:06:56.839 --> 0:07:00.880 toss game, because that's part of the lumen Cure ideology 0:07:01.600 --> 0:07:03.920 that you have to give up a sacrifice of childhood 0:07:03.920 --> 0:07:05.840 once you move on to this next level and you're 0:07:05.880 --> 0:07:07.839 on this career track, and so you got to destroy 0:07:07.880 --> 0:07:10.920 this thing. And he watches her destroy the ring toss 0:07:10.960 --> 0:07:16.160 game with her jame bust, which we saw that Cobel 0:07:16.240 --> 0:07:18.960 also had one of these jame busts. And it should 0:07:19.000 --> 0:07:23.000 be noticed that the jame bust that Eustace has has 0:07:23.080 --> 0:07:29.280 another of the has a different of the nine tenants 0:07:29.320 --> 0:07:32.560 of Eganism, Like on it it says, hold on, let 0:07:32.600 --> 0:07:36.440 me just get it it badly, bab will be baba? 0:07:39.160 --> 0:07:41.400 Where is it? I did it say? 0:07:41.400 --> 0:07:42.720 I thought I'd put it in here, but. 0:07:47.240 --> 0:07:49.960 Oh, Eurovision okay, it says Eurovision. 0:07:51.160 --> 0:07:51.280 Uh. 0:07:52.080 --> 0:07:56.920 While Cobel's was the Year of Wiles, so references to 0:07:58.080 --> 0:08:01.880 the nine tenants. And I wonder if, like, do they 0:08:01.920 --> 0:08:03.880 just cycle through those and they acting. 0:08:03.840 --> 0:08:06.760 That's Gyral wondering, is it like the it's like the 0:08:06.880 --> 0:08:11.120 Chinese years of birth, where like you do as twelve 0:08:11.160 --> 0:08:13.840 and then you come back, or yeah, the nine? 0:08:13.880 --> 0:08:15.040 Does it just cycle through? 0:08:15.560 --> 0:08:18.640 We then go to Audi Dylan's house, where his wife 0:08:18.640 --> 0:08:21.200 Gretchen admits to him that he's she's been having an 0:08:21.200 --> 0:08:21.720 affair with. 0:08:21.680 --> 0:08:25.800 His any merit we but don't do it. Don't do it, merret. 0:08:25.720 --> 0:08:30.120 He is absolutely shocked. She's in her work. Her first responder, 0:08:30.280 --> 0:08:34.360 I should say, like, uh, work clothes, which will be 0:08:34.400 --> 0:08:37.280 important for it a scene coming up later. So for 0:08:37.360 --> 0:08:41.040 Audi Dylan, this is crazy fucking news. Of course, Gretchen 0:08:41.120 --> 0:08:43.760 is like, but you seem so adrift and you're any 0:08:43.920 --> 0:08:46.600 reminded me of how you used to be. And Audi 0:08:46.679 --> 0:08:48.240 Dylan's like, yeah, well, what if I quit and I 0:08:48.320 --> 0:08:49.800 just kill him? What I do? 0:08:49.920 --> 0:08:53.319 Which I actually thought this was a great moment because 0:08:53.360 --> 0:08:58.120 it feels like a kind of realistic emotional response, But 0:08:58.160 --> 0:09:01.840 it also gives us more insight into how the innis 0:09:01.920 --> 0:09:03.839 are perceived. 0:09:03.480 --> 0:09:05.760 Because he literally is like, well if I just killed 0:09:05.840 --> 0:09:07.520 him to work. 0:09:08.040 --> 0:09:13.600 So there is conversations about the mortality and kind of 0:09:13.679 --> 0:09:17.640 lived reality of innis, and there is also obviously as 0:09:17.640 --> 0:09:21.040 we know, like zero protections for them as kind of 0:09:21.040 --> 0:09:22.200 fully realized human being. 0:09:22.320 --> 0:09:24.240 He also says like, I'm going to work and don't 0:09:24.280 --> 0:09:28.080 go fuck my inny, like while I don't go fuck 0:09:28.160 --> 0:09:31.520 my body while I'm at work. We go to Irving's home. 0:09:31.679 --> 0:09:35.520 Irving comes home to discover Bert in his dog radar 0:09:35.600 --> 0:09:38.560 staring into the kitchen or the living room and who's 0:09:38.559 --> 0:09:41.400 sitting there with Bert? And Bert is reading some of 0:09:41.520 --> 0:09:48.520 Irving's proloined Lumen investigation documents, including reading notes that are 0:09:48.760 --> 0:09:52.920 related to himself to Bert that mention that Bert has 0:09:52.960 --> 0:09:57.360 been linked to a bunch of disappearances and potential deaths 0:09:57.760 --> 0:10:02.320 of people who disappeared into like the Lumin system, and 0:10:02.559 --> 0:10:06.480 it mentions Bert as potentially like an enforcer or a goon, 0:10:06.640 --> 0:10:11.640 some sort of company hitman, and Irving is like, hearing 0:10:11.679 --> 0:10:14.000 Bert read this, He's like, yes, it's true. I was 0:10:14.040 --> 0:10:16.080 suspicious of you at one point, but I know that 0:10:16.120 --> 0:10:19.080 you're not with the company anymore and that you're not 0:10:19.240 --> 0:10:21.000 that person. And Bert's like, do you want to go 0:10:21.000 --> 0:10:24.560 for a ride with me? Which seems very ominous, and 0:10:24.600 --> 0:10:25.520 so we go for the ride. 0:10:25.920 --> 0:10:26.079 Yes. 0:10:26.280 --> 0:10:30.560 We go into Lumit where Maer is observing Gemma in 0:10:30.640 --> 0:10:33.160 her apartment on the test floor. She's just sitting at 0:10:33.200 --> 0:10:36.400 her little table. He flips over to the Cold Harbor 0:10:36.480 --> 0:10:39.080 numbers and sees that they are stuck on ninety six percent. 0:10:39.160 --> 0:10:41.800 He becomes alarmed at nine am the numbers aren't moving. 0:10:42.960 --> 0:10:45.680 Is Mark at work? What's going on? Miltchik gets a 0:10:45.720 --> 0:10:49.320 call from Drummond. Where the fuck is Mark? Today is 0:10:49.360 --> 0:10:53.240 the day? Probably related to whatever Jame is excited for 0:10:53.640 --> 0:10:58.839 that the final quota is promised, and we promised, apparently 0:10:58.880 --> 0:11:01.440 the old boss James, that it would be finished today, 0:11:01.559 --> 0:11:04.839 So you've got to get Marked to work. Let's pause 0:11:04.880 --> 0:11:10.360 here because I want to say that maur looking at 0:11:10.440 --> 0:11:13.440 Gemma on the video feed and then seeing the number 0:11:13.440 --> 0:11:18.640 the Cold Harbor numbers stuck on ninety six does support 0:11:18.920 --> 0:11:26.120 my probably wrong theory that Gemma's apartment is Cold Harbor. 0:11:26.280 --> 0:11:30.200 Inside of Gemma's apartment is Cold Harbor, and she's being 0:11:30.200 --> 0:11:32.440 tested all the time for some sort of response that 0:11:32.480 --> 0:11:36.880 they haven't yet adequately fulfilled, so that, in other words, 0:11:37.040 --> 0:11:40.920 we saw cold Harbor. It's her apartment and the test 0:11:41.200 --> 0:11:44.319 is you know, when Maer comes in and basically drops 0:11:44.360 --> 0:11:46.839 all these references to Mark, and Mark doesn't. Marx moved on, 0:11:47.000 --> 0:11:50.559 he doesn't love you anymore, and she has emotional reaction, right, 0:11:50.840 --> 0:11:54.040 the win for them would be she has no reaction. 0:11:55.080 --> 0:11:59.480 That's the theory supported by this little thing, this little 0:11:59.520 --> 0:12:03.400 scene here down on the severed floor. Helly comes stomping in, 0:12:03.679 --> 0:12:09.640 as clearly Helly because she comes with shake and said shud. Yeah. 0:12:10.240 --> 0:12:12.280 She goes down to MDR. But no one's at work, 0:12:12.320 --> 0:12:15.720 and she's kind of disappointed by this because she's clearly 0:12:15.880 --> 0:12:18.280 can't wait to see Mark and is worried about Mark 0:12:18.320 --> 0:12:20.400 because of last time she saw him he had that nosebleed. 0:12:20.880 --> 0:12:24.439 Devin is driving Mark to meet Cobell. Mark has a 0:12:24.480 --> 0:12:27.440 good grip on reality right now. Devin is like asking him, 0:12:27.440 --> 0:12:29.360 do you know where you are? You know? And you know? 0:12:29.480 --> 0:12:31.719 Do you know who I am? All that stuff. He 0:12:31.800 --> 0:12:34.160 thinks going to meet Cobell as a mistake. It certainly 0:12:34.160 --> 0:12:36.720 feels like that. I think, to all of us, what 0:12:36.760 --> 0:12:39.000 if it's trap? He says. Devin says, we need her. 0:12:39.320 --> 0:12:41.559 I would go I would why do we need her? 0:12:41.679 --> 0:12:44.880 That's a different I don't really understand that part of it, 0:12:44.920 --> 0:12:46.120 like why exactly we need her? 0:12:46.160 --> 0:12:51.320 But Devin seems to be very intent and focused on 0:12:51.520 --> 0:12:56.040 keeping Cobel in this situation, which again I think is 0:12:56.120 --> 0:13:00.000 very suspicious or at least if not suspicious. 0:12:59.360 --> 0:13:01.120 Because she's of a lumin plan. 0:13:01.640 --> 0:13:04.600 There is something between Devin and Cabel that we don't 0:13:04.640 --> 0:13:05.640 yet know that she. 0:13:07.559 --> 0:13:08.120 That mock. 0:13:09.240 --> 0:13:12.600 I think it's I think it's possible. I think it's possible. 0:13:12.600 --> 0:13:16.479 I think it's also possible, as with the Rickens colleague 0:13:16.559 --> 0:13:25.400 bed theory, that she's being manipulated by other forces, maybe Lumine, 0:13:25.720 --> 0:13:28.240 and she's acting in a way that she feels is 0:13:28.280 --> 0:13:32.000 for the best sincerely, but doesn't understand that she's been manipulated. 0:13:32.000 --> 0:13:34.040 It could be also be that anyway, Miltchick is blowing 0:13:34.120 --> 0:13:35.920 up Mark's phone, but he lets it go to voicemail. 0:13:36.280 --> 0:13:38.600 We know what that's about. Down on the severed floor, 0:13:38.640 --> 0:13:40.760 Helly goes to see Milchick. She's like, where the fuck 0:13:40.800 --> 0:13:43.360 is Mark? He had a nosebleed and now all of 0:13:43.360 --> 0:13:47.040 a sudden he hasn't been in two days and is 0:13:47.080 --> 0:13:50.120 he okay? And Miltchick is like, don't worry about it, 0:13:50.200 --> 0:13:54.760 Like Dylan is taking over like Mark's role while Mark 0:13:54.880 --> 0:13:57.920 is out. It's not a big deal, and She's like, oh, 0:13:58.080 --> 0:14:00.280 you mean like the way you took over for Bell, 0:14:00.400 --> 0:14:03.600 like you're We're just all how's that going? And now 0:14:03.679 --> 0:14:07.040 Milchik is kind of getting mad and he's like, Helly 0:14:07.080 --> 0:14:09.720 are you urain'tsportant? And he and she's like, don't mean 0:14:10.240 --> 0:14:13.679 Helly e Don't you mean Helena Egan? And he's like, okay, 0:14:13.880 --> 0:14:18.120 well sure you're Audi is my boss, but you are 0:14:18.280 --> 0:14:22.280 just Helly Are and you are my the worker that 0:14:22.360 --> 0:14:25.240 I manage, one of the teams that I manage. And 0:14:25.960 --> 0:14:28.280 so you're dismissed. And by the way, leave the door open. 0:14:28.320 --> 0:14:30.320 And then Helly just like slams the door even though 0:14:30.520 --> 0:14:33.240 he asked her to leave it open, a rebellion once 0:14:33.280 --> 0:14:37.800 again simmering all over the place. Gretchen, now not in 0:14:37.880 --> 0:14:43.000 her work clothes, is goes to see any Dillon uh 0:14:43.040 --> 0:14:46.560 and she tells him that she had the conversation with Audi. 0:14:46.640 --> 0:14:50.480 D any D is like very very clueless. Is He's 0:14:50.560 --> 0:14:52.320 like he's happy for us? Right? No? 0:14:53.240 --> 0:14:56.160 He says the like is he glad for us? 0:14:56.240 --> 0:15:00.240 My heart was like like that Simpsons episode, so you 0:15:00.240 --> 0:15:02.080 can see raps tell the breaking. 0:15:03.720 --> 0:15:06.120 So she breaks up with any D and any D 0:15:07.680 --> 0:15:11.760 can't stand that we all remember first love, right, the 0:15:11.800 --> 0:15:14.960 first time you really like get in a relationship with feelings. 0:15:15.040 --> 0:15:17.840 This is like that for him, so you get it right. 0:15:18.560 --> 0:15:22.880 He tells her, you know, my life really started when 0:15:22.920 --> 0:15:25.080 you started coming to visit me, and he drops down 0:15:25.080 --> 0:15:26.720 on one knee and he presents her with a ring 0:15:26.760 --> 0:15:29.760 made out of office supplies. This is shocking. 0:15:30.080 --> 0:15:32.840 Yeah, like one of his finger traps, which is like 0:15:32.960 --> 0:15:37.480 this also crazy because he doesn't really own anything, so 0:15:37.480 --> 0:15:39.360 for him to give this to her as like a 0:15:39.560 --> 0:15:42.880 huge deal. But she obviously is just like I probably 0:15:42.880 --> 0:15:45.400 shouldn't have kissed you. This is crazy, Like she doesn't 0:15:45.440 --> 0:15:49.400 understand the importance and emotional kind of resonance of what 0:15:49.440 --> 0:15:51.760 she means in his life because she's never been in any. 0:15:52.160 --> 0:15:56.600 Yeah, she shocked, she's she's She clearly is like, okay, 0:15:56.600 --> 0:16:01.240 this is all a mistake, and she declines, of course, Dylan, 0:16:02.200 --> 0:16:05.040 or continue the relationship or whatever, like. 0:16:05.400 --> 0:16:07.960 She's obviously like I am already married to you, but 0:16:08.080 --> 0:16:10.520 I love her. We like give her an Emmy for 0:16:10.560 --> 0:16:13.720 this moment, like she's like the silent crying because I 0:16:13.720 --> 0:16:15.040 think she actually. 0:16:15.120 --> 0:16:17.040 Does know what have I done? 0:16:17.160 --> 0:16:20.000 Yes she does, But also this version of Dylan is 0:16:20.160 --> 0:16:23.800 like one that loves her and is still like. 0:16:24.200 --> 0:16:26.760 Sweet and appreciated, appreciate her. 0:16:26.840 --> 0:16:29.560 She's saying goodbye to in this moment too, that I 0:16:29.640 --> 0:16:30.600 just think is really good. 0:16:31.440 --> 0:16:36.480 So she walks out and Anie Dylan screamed, but to 0:16:36.600 --> 0:16:41.160 no avail. Later, Helly is talking to Dylan about his 0:16:41.200 --> 0:16:43.120 finger trappering, and he's like, you should just keep it 0:16:43.160 --> 0:16:46.560 and give it to someone you meet down here. Helly 0:16:46.760 --> 0:16:50.080 thinking that her experience of like falling in love with 0:16:50.080 --> 0:16:52.720 the coworker is just like something common that I guess 0:16:52.720 --> 0:16:56.600 everybody will will find and maybe that's the truth. But 0:16:57.120 --> 0:17:00.240 Dylan is like, well, you know, it's just like O 0:17:00.440 --> 0:17:03.360 and D and the goat people down here, Like who 0:17:03.360 --> 0:17:04.520 am I gonna fucking mean? 0:17:04.680 --> 0:17:05.720 Am I gonna mean? 0:17:05.960 --> 0:17:06.160 Yeah? 0:17:06.240 --> 0:17:10.879 What are my prospects? Helly meanwhile is continuing to be 0:17:10.960 --> 0:17:15.160 extremely rebellious against her Audi. Is raging at Audi's in general, 0:17:15.800 --> 0:17:18.520 which is an interesting contrast to the where her family 0:17:18.600 --> 0:17:21.720 views Innies. But she's like, everything is for the Audies. 0:17:21.800 --> 0:17:26.000 They take everything. Helly then reminds doing that Irving was 0:17:26.040 --> 0:17:28.720 your friend, who's you're very very very. 0:17:28.640 --> 0:17:31.680 Very close friend. Yeah, and then emotional kind of scent 0:17:31.760 --> 0:17:32.880 a piece of your life. 0:17:33.240 --> 0:17:36.640 That's right, and that Luman distracted you from that by 0:17:36.640 --> 0:17:39.400 bringing down this Audi woman that you don't even know, 0:17:40.080 --> 0:17:45.400 so stop falling for it. And then Dylan gets very 0:17:45.440 --> 0:17:47.040 mean and he's like, you know, the only reason we're 0:17:47.080 --> 0:17:50.160 down here is because of you. It's this is all 0:17:50.200 --> 0:17:55.240 of your fault. And by the way, when you were 0:17:55.240 --> 0:17:57.840 down here as your audi, no one could tell. And 0:17:57.880 --> 0:17:59.640 she's like, well, Irving could tell. He is like, well, 0:17:59.680 --> 0:18:03.239 Mark and tell, and then he walks away. That was very, 0:18:03.359 --> 0:18:06.520 very mean. Cobell finally arrives to meet Mark and Devin. 0:18:08.320 --> 0:18:11.160 There's like a very funny moment when she's like, how 0:18:11.200 --> 0:18:13.280 are you and he's like, well, you know, my wife 0:18:13.320 --> 0:18:15.760 is being held prisoner by a lumin and I just 0:18:15.800 --> 0:18:17.800 had brain surgery in back around I'm doing fucking great. 0:18:18.280 --> 0:18:21.159 And they bicker a little bit and Cobel is like, 0:18:21.200 --> 0:18:25.800 don't let's not bicker because we're allies now. And apparently 0:18:25.800 --> 0:18:28.440 the plan is to take Mark to the Demona Birth 0:18:28.440 --> 0:18:31.239 and Retreat, but they can't go in the daytime. They 0:18:31.240 --> 0:18:34.359 have to go at night, and she says that once 0:18:34.480 --> 0:18:38.680 any Mark in the office has completed Cold Harbor, which 0:18:38.680 --> 0:18:41.679 he suspects he is not finished, because why would he 0:18:42.760 --> 0:18:45.120 be carrying out this mission like it would be over 0:18:45.200 --> 0:18:49.920 apparently if he had finished. But if Cold Harbor is completed, 0:18:49.960 --> 0:18:53.320 that's apparently the end of Gemma. She's already dead. Cobel says, 0:18:54.160 --> 0:18:58.040 if you finish Cold Harbor. Cobel then says, call Miltchick 0:18:58.080 --> 0:19:00.399 can get off work, because if Miltchick suspects you're up 0:19:00.440 --> 0:19:03.560 to something other than taking a day off or sick, 0:19:04.040 --> 0:19:05.919 then he will lock you out of Lumen and that's it. 0:19:05.920 --> 0:19:08.399 It's game over. Mark doesn't want to, but Devin talks 0:19:08.440 --> 0:19:12.439 him into it for Gemma because apparently Cobel knows how 0:19:12.480 --> 0:19:14.960 to get her back. We think. Helly then uses her 0:19:15.480 --> 0:19:18.560 key card to go to the breakroom to retrieve Irving's 0:19:18.600 --> 0:19:22.760 elevator map, while Dylan just is wandering the halls making 0:19:22.760 --> 0:19:26.040 a big decision. He essentially comes to the decision that 0:19:26.040 --> 0:19:29.320 he's going to quit. Bert meanwhile, is driving Irvin somewhere. 0:19:29.800 --> 0:19:32.640 He admits in a conversation in the car that yes, 0:19:32.720 --> 0:19:35.840 I worked for Luhman doing black bag stuff. 0:19:35.880 --> 0:19:39.520 Apparently I drove people I didn't know where they were going, 0:19:39.760 --> 0:19:45.560 but they didn't come back, so that's ominous for he 0:19:45.640 --> 0:19:47.879 did say I never heard anyone. I need you to 0:19:47.960 --> 0:19:50.880 know that, but it's like you didn't stop them. 0:19:50.920 --> 0:19:51.120 Gang. 0:19:51.960 --> 0:19:56.280 You do wonder if that's what's happening right. 0:19:56.160 --> 0:19:59.800 Now, which is what I've wonders too understandably. 0:20:00.720 --> 0:20:06.399 Yeah. In Miltchik's office, Dylan fills out a resignation form, 0:20:06.760 --> 0:20:10.080 and Miltchik is taking this quite personally, and I think 0:20:10.080 --> 0:20:13.399 this is a reflection clearly of his management. He says, 0:20:13.440 --> 0:20:17.119 this reeks of ingratitude. Wong is like, I'm so sorry 0:20:17.119 --> 0:20:19.760 I didn't like manage you better. Miltchik then takes the 0:20:19.800 --> 0:20:22.760 ID card and says, okay, Dylan go to the elevator 0:20:22.800 --> 0:20:26.600 and wait outside the severed floor in the atrium, Drummond 0:20:27.200 --> 0:20:32.160 like upstairs basically in Lumen. In the atrium, Drummond is 0:20:32.240 --> 0:20:34.639 reading Miltchik the Riot Act for not being able to 0:20:34.640 --> 0:20:37.760 get marked to work and you know, like not being 0:20:37.760 --> 0:20:40.000 able to deliver in cold Harbor when it's been promised, 0:20:40.080 --> 0:20:43.679 and this is all Miltchik's fault. And Miltchik defends himself 0:20:43.680 --> 0:20:45.520 by using a big word, which is a no. 0:20:45.520 --> 0:20:45.680 No. 0:20:45.760 --> 0:20:48.480 We talked about this, So Drummond is like apologized for 0:20:48.600 --> 0:20:51.040 using a big word, and then he does, but then 0:20:51.080 --> 0:20:54.520 he's like, apologize again, and then Miltchik snaps and basically 0:20:54.560 --> 0:20:59.280 tells him to devour feculence aka shit, which Drummond is like, now, 0:20:59.640 --> 0:21:01.960 how what what did you say to me? And then 0:21:02.000 --> 0:21:06.280 Milchik finds a spine. He's like, Hey, the Severn Floor, 0:21:06.320 --> 0:21:07.760 I am the manager of the seventh floor. You have 0:21:07.800 --> 0:21:10.040 to respect me, even though you're my superior. You need 0:21:10.080 --> 0:21:12.200 to respect me because I do like very sensitive work 0:21:12.200 --> 0:21:15.119 for this and important work for this company. Second, the 0:21:15.160 --> 0:21:19.480 Severn Floor is the whole of my kingdom, meaning out here, 0:21:19.920 --> 0:21:22.159 Audi Mark is your fucking job. If you don't know 0:21:22.160 --> 0:21:26.840 where Audi Mark is, then that's your fucking fault. Turns 0:21:26.840 --> 0:21:28.280 on his heel and walks away. 0:21:28.520 --> 0:21:31.520 I gotta say, guys, you know we have been on 0:21:31.680 --> 0:21:34.879 quite a roller coaster with Milchick this season, Like is 0:21:34.920 --> 0:21:36.240 he gonna ton against Luman? 0:21:36.440 --> 0:21:39.440 Is he gonna be an ally to the innies? I 0:21:39.480 --> 0:21:41.160 think morally. 0:21:41.240 --> 0:21:43.919 I cannot state where he stands, but I would not 0:21:44.400 --> 0:21:48.560 be surprised to see Milchick fucking up some higher management 0:21:48.640 --> 0:21:49.480 in the finale. 0:21:50.119 --> 0:21:52.679 His patience is coming to an edge, and. 0:21:53.080 --> 0:21:54.960 I'm eager to talk about this later, because I do 0:21:55.040 --> 0:21:57.560 think I've been thinking a lot about the idea of 0:21:57.600 --> 0:22:01.399 a heel turn or what a hero arc or redemption art, 0:22:01.440 --> 0:22:03.160 what that could mean in the context of this show, 0:22:03.600 --> 0:22:07.639 Mark calls Miltchick and, after initially trying to blame it 0:22:07.680 --> 0:22:12.280 on the nosebleeds, which I think makes Miltchick kind of alarmed, 0:22:12.400 --> 0:22:15.000 like any kind of medical thing with the head, He's like, 0:22:15.320 --> 0:22:17.399 let us send you a car let us let you 0:22:17.400 --> 0:22:19.280 should be on look a Lumin care with something like this. 0:22:19.760 --> 0:22:23.639 He then Mark, I think very canonly realizes Okay, this 0:22:23.720 --> 0:22:25.520 is the wrong way to go and just says like, listen, 0:22:25.600 --> 0:22:27.760 I just need a day. I need a personal day, 0:22:27.960 --> 0:22:30.520 Like I just need a day off. Okay, do you 0:22:30.560 --> 0:22:32.280 get it? Like isn't that what llumin is about? Like 0:22:32.359 --> 0:22:35.800 work life balance, like and I need it, and so 0:22:36.600 --> 0:22:39.000 you know, work his work right, and time off is 0:22:39.080 --> 0:22:43.280 time off. So That's what I'm doing. And Miltchick gets 0:22:43.359 --> 0:22:46.560 emotional at this. He's looking at his tip of the 0:22:46.560 --> 0:22:51.480 iceberg painting behind his chair at his desk, and he 0:22:51.600 --> 0:22:55.120 backs off and makes Mark promise that he will come 0:22:55.119 --> 0:22:57.640 into work next day, which Mark promises do and then 0:22:57.840 --> 0:23:00.280
