Your intelligence knows only what I want them to.

There is a small group.

Anomalies.

Even they won't know they will act... until they do.

Rehoboam is privy to all sorts of hidden truths.

For example... the private deals you've cut to restrict manganese extraction to some of your friends, which have squeezed money out of villages in the north, creating unrest.

You will stop.

And the problem will go away.

SERAC: It turns out that building a god, as your ancestors can attest, is not easy.

More than anything, we needed data.

Which meant we needed him.

Dempsey was rich, arrogant.

He had been in the right place at the right time, before the privacy laws.

And now his company, Incite, had the entire world's data.

LIAM DEMPSEY, SR.: It's not. f*cking. Working.

I paid a king's ransom for this thing, fed you yottabytes of Incite's data, and for what?

You've iterated half a dozen versions,

Saul, David, and now this one.

- What the f*ck's its name again?
- Solomon.

Well, I'm not sinking another dollar into this giant steel ballsack while it's spitting out false predictions.

JEAN MI SERAC: Not false.

It rendered the last few decades accurately, predicting past events with certainty.

DEMPSEY, SR.: You built a machine to predict the f*cking past?

Well, let me try. Eighteen months ago, I made the worst business decision of my career by trusting you idiots.

Keep staring at that thing, Liam, your brain's gonna turn to mush like these two.

What about strategizing the future?

That's what you promised.

Societal trends, the stock market, a f*cking oracle!

(SPEAKING FRENCH)

No, I'm sorry. I'm pulling the plug.

Come on, Liam.

SERAC: What Dempsey didn't understand was that it was working.

My brother had done it.

He created a god.

But such is the case with all great minds.

He was uniquely brilliant, but also, uniquely troubled.

(INHALES)

SEBASTIAN: I have news, sir.

But not good.

If it's news, it's unexpected, which is never good. What is it?

SEBASTIAN: Rehoboam analyzed the traffic coming out of the Yakuza facility.

It found a connect between encrypted devices in Jakarta, Berlin, San Francisco, and Los Angeles.

- The one in LA is a problem.
- Why?

It came from inside

Liam Dempsey's personal compound.

- Find Dempsey. Now.
- We've tried, sir.

Rehoboam logged him entering a private function.

Now he's missing.

- And, sir...

LIAM DEMPSEY, JR.: You think you disappear a man like me and no one f*cking notices?

CALEB: Keep walking.

We have all of his money.
What do we need him for?

DOLORES: Access.

We need to study our adversary, past, present, future.

To do that, we need access to the deeper layers of the system.

It doesn't matter.

You can't take me anywhere he won't find you.

Serac knows by now that you're trying to outbid him on Delos.

I'm what?

We can help.

My access isn't enough.

I'll take my chances.

Have you asked yourself what she's using you for yet?

Let me go, I'll make sure you're taken care of.

You already took care of me.

SERAC: My brother and I built a system that worked.

But Dempsey wanted to see proof.

So we started with something simple, purely mathematical.

The stock market.

We showed him all the major indices, minutes in the future... and where it could close that night.

Which number is it? Low or high?

Which one do you want?

(CHUCKLES)

SERAC: We put some money into a hedge fund... let the system trade with it.

Something to drive the market towards our outcomes.

Whose funds?

JEAN MI: Yours.

DEMPSEY, SR.: A hundred million dollars?

What, you stole...

million dollars from corporate accounts?

No.

We stole five million.

Last week.

SERAC: He didn't really understand what we'd made, what you were.

But we did.

He only saw the money he could make.

But we realized the power of it, that you could reshape the world.

My brother and I, we charted a course for the entire human race.

Humanity's story had been improvised.

Now, it was planned

years in advance.

For a time, the sun and moon aligned.

We brought order from chaos.

And then, as with all the best laid plans, it began to fall apart.

Dempsey became greedy, drove outcomes to benefit himself.

So we locked him out of the system.

But there was a bigger problem.

In every projection, the world came unglued.

There were people, outliers, agitators, who you couldn't predict or control.

And I realized that my brother was one of them.

He didn't fit the world anymore, and the world didn't fit him.

And it drove him mad.

What now?

(PASSENGERS CHATTERING)

We're going to open their cages.

The system's written their life story, they should get to read it.

You can't do that. That's reckless.

You have no idea what they'll do in response.

It could lead to suicides, m*rder.

m*rder.

You'd know something about that.

I'm sorry.

I'm so f*cking sorry.

That...

BOTH: Wasn't my choice.

I could never bring myself to hurt you.

Don't forget, I know you.

And you wouldn't hurt me.

You'd pay someone to do it for you.

It's their fate, their data.

You just stole it and put it all together.

Why should you control it?

LIAM: This isn't about me.

Or Incite. There are some things people shouldn't know about themselves.

Who gets to decide what they know?

- You?
- LIAM: Fine. You wanna see?

It got so bad that...we had to make our own rat traps in the barracks.

The rats would run up the ramp, fall in, and drown.

Painlessly.

But if you filled the water too high, they would swim around for hours... suffering... because they had hope.

DEMPSEY, SR.: What is this place?

After our exposure, we were both put on anti-radiation medications to halt our genetic breakdown.

That's when I understood.

It's possible to edit people.

But the truth is... his personality was always like this.

I've been trying to help him.

What, you're experimenting on your own g*dd*mn brother?

He's impulsive, chaotic...

I thought it was manageable.

Then... I caught him using the system.

Trying out certain scenarios.

There are the times you need to leave things behind.

(CHUCKLES) He taught me that.

My brother is part of a population of outliers, and as long as they are a part of us, there is no future for us.

Rehoboam sends this group to high risk sectors like, uh, w*r, a woodchipper to eat them up and spit them out, dead or useless.

Isn't helping them better than k*lling them off?

We already manipulate them with different classes of dr*gs that push one chemical up, push it down.

You take a piece of digital medicine that essentially, it's a license, it's not even a chemical.

I actually remember on the phone talking to him about the character.

He's intelligent, he's beguiling, he's charismatic, and he's powerful.

And he said, "I can see why you wanted to cast me".

He has a magnetism to him as a performer and an intelligence that you really wanted in this role.

Almost godlike in his understanding of the world.

VINCENT CASSEL: People will really have a vision of what could happen with the world and how they can make it better.

I've listened to those people speaking about their ideas and trying to figure out what kind of character because you cannot be too snob even though you're out of society, but you still think for the people.

Engerraund Serac.

He knows everything about all the datas of the world, and he knows how to centralize all that.

That's how he wants to control the world.

We're going to open their cages.

EVAN RACHEL WOOD: When I realized what Dolores's plan was, I thought this is the greatest act of anarchy that I think I've ever seen on television.

Everyone can see their entire life is playing out exactly the way the system has set it up.

And it feels like all of their choices have been a lie.

And I think that's a moment where we don't know exactly how to feel about Dolores.

There's a lot of things that she does where we're constantly questioning is she the good guy or the bad guy?

It's that question of well, "What does a revolution really look like?"

And, "What has to happen for us all to be free?"

I think these are all the questions that we're gonna be constantly asking ourselves when we watch this season.
