I'm really making an effort

to relate to women

more healthily, Dr. Krystal.

And yet, you are full of anger.

You think I hate women?

Women raised me.

My whole culture is

pure matriarchy. I love women.

[LAUGHS] You love conquest, Toby.

You're confused.

You crave intimacy,

and yet, you are addicted

to the dopamine rush

of these women on apps and one-night stands.

Don't try and shame me, please.

I'm really not down with the way

in which men have been castrated today.

Castration? By women?

That's what's happening to America.

Men are being made to feel bad

for their desires.

Ah.

In the six months

we've been working together,

it seems to me you look upon women

as, uh, biological objects with sex organs

that you almost pay to be in proximity to.

To hunt.

Maybe I need to see a male doctor.

Someone who understands the battle.

So you look upon relations

between men and women as a w*r?

Women certainly do.

- The lists of toxic males?

All the articles, firings,

reams of men being cancelled.

There seems to be a disconnect

We must work to make you

Hmm?

Um

I think we have to end early today.

I have to get back to

hyper-allergenic, socialist poet

Frankly, you seem to be getting worse.

Krystal's a really good shrink.

My mentee, my protégé,

Back in the doghouse.

And here we are having another chat.

You have brilliant ideas

about how to sell our services

and how to grow,

but you don't seem

to really care about anything

other than your own pleasure.

I care about profit margins,

about market forces.

Not as much as you care

about being a player.

Your performance review?

My God.

Late for work, late for meetings,

and, in those meetings,

you're unfocused and distracted,

always checking your phone,

always elsewhere.

I have several different constituencies

in the company that I serve,

and they all require my

Oh, should I take some

of those constituencies

away from you, then, Toby?

Send you to Iceland

Perpetual snow and ice? Huh?

- I bring in more clients than

What could you do if you actually cared?

About all of it?

- Not just the hunt?

- My mother was a secretary.

Work came first.

There was no room for fun.

She worked herself to the bone.

Yes, she worked for me,

and we gave you scholarships and advancement

because of the promise you displayed

and the loyalty your mother demonstrated.

I've delivered.

I've also had a couple of

not exactly complaints,

but suggestions of

- What?

- Something adjacent to misogyny.

Complaints about your

growing disdain for women.

[SCOFFS]

I joke sometimes,

but my whole schtick

is filled with irony. [CHUCKLES]

- It's not real toxic masculinity.

- Since your divorce,

you made some of

your female colleagues uneasy,

and that is a problem,

and even since you began therapy for it,

I don't see much progress.

I've invested so much in you.

I could do that.

I want it to be you, but

I don't think we can have

this conversation again, Toby.

The next one is more formal,

more intense, more

She wasn't critical of you at all?

She gave me a talking-to,

but it was more of a mom talk.

Has anyone complained about me?

I I mean

Her name is Natessa.

Natessa? What is she, a candy bar?

That sounds like a fake name.

I don't care what her real name is.

Sometimes I go as Bruno Ziplock

Those angles, that jaw, those lips.

She's like a deep fake honey trap

She looks like a doll.

Oh, you look just like your

Yes, Toby, as advertised.

Hi. I'm Natessa.

Would you like another martini?

No.

I want to stay clear-headed

for the remainder of our hot night.

[NATESSA] Oh. Okay.

You don't drink too much, huh? I like that.

I've seen what it does to the liver,

the heart, and the brain.

And, uh, what about dr*gs?

What is this, a test?

You, uh, testing me for "mate-ability"?

Oh, uh, it's just I mean, it's clear

that you take care of your body.

I mean, you obviously work out, right?

What do you do? Like, weights? Yoga?

I put in my time.

Now, it's swimming and kettle bells, mostly.

Well, it's paying off. [CHUCKLES]

[HEAVY BREATHING]

Hello?

[DR. SON] It appears someone, illegally,

gave you a radical nephrectomy.

They took out your left kidney, Mr. Arcaño.

I really am not understanding

what you're telling me.

Uh

Where is it?

Do you have it chilling in an

ice box somewhere or something?

No. Well, it's not in your body,

for one thing.

This is no small, outpatient surgery.

It's usually done with robotics now,

if the organ's cancerous,

which I have no reason to believe yours was.

And there's something else.

Mr. Arcaño,

in addition to

something being removed from your body,

they also put something in.

Am I dreaming? Put what in?

Well, it's not gonna be

that simple, you see,

because it's very intricately

and surgically attached

to a knotted thicket of arteries

pressed right up against the vagus nerve,

which you really don't want to mess with.

If someone put it in,

I'm sure you can take it out.

I'm-I'm doing some more imaging,

and I'm consulting

with a couple of colleagues.

A guy from Tokyo, someone in Moscow.

Whoever did this, they're very good.

You could easily have bled out.

It's remarkable work.

This thing inside me

what's it do?

No idea.

I've heard about things like this.

These rings that are out there

stealing organs.

Yeah, I've read about them, too.

There's only one problem.

Which is?

They don't actually exist.

There has been some talk

about organ theft rings

on chat sites, mostly on

the dark web, but nothing concrete.

Bottom line, it's all urban legends.

An urban legend didn't steal my kidney.

If it wasn't an organ theft ring,

what was it?

Rather than treat this

like a conspiracy theory,

we're gonna approach the case

as a one-time event.

As long as you catch

that succubus from hell.

The "succubus from hell"

scrubbed her internet presence

completely, and someone erased

all the security camera feeds

in the building,

but you've given us a good description.

That's something solid to go on,

at least for now.

If anything else comes back

to you, you give us a call.

Take care.

[TOBY] Sasha

[SIGHS]

Why are you so good to me?

Well, despite your many character flaws,

I don't really care

how many kidneys you have.

And maybe I'm having

some second thoughts about

swiping left on you.

There.

That's her tattoo.

What are you gonna do with?

Reverse image search.

I got a hit.

Cybele, goddess of fertility.

Ancient Rome.

[SASHA] Also known as the Great Mother,

or mother of the gods.

More like mother of

all psychopaths, actually.

[TOBY OVER PHONE] But

you still can't tell me what it is?

All I can say for sure is that

it's hard-wired into your system

and removing it is even trickier now.

Why is that?

[SIGHS]

- Because it's growing.

- Jesus.

Don't tell me this is cancer.

It's not a tumor.

Actually, it resembles

some sort of gland, but

what it's doing or how it got there,

it's a real puzzle.

Um, I'm thinking of recommending

you go to Brazil

where they deal with a lot

of odd organ issues.

Doctor, there's no way one woman

could've done this all on her own.

No.

You need a, uh, support staff

for work like this.

Just transporting the organs back and forth

would take a lot of skilled people.

I realize you've been through

a terrible experience, Toby.

I'm resilient. tough.

I'm okay. I'm a guy.

But it seems to me that,

despite all my warnings,

you're immersed in pure chaos.

The police were here today asking about you

and this terrible thing that happened.

- It might be in the papers.

- Someone just stole my kidney.

[SIGHS] I need time

to get back on track.

Don't I get a little credit?

For the trauma and sh*t?

I'd like you to take three months' leave.

You need to heal and take stock.

Go. Do a pilgrimage.

After that, we'll have you

come in and we'll sort through

what our options are.

I can't leave here.

- Please don't fire me, Lee.

I found pickleball. And religion.

- I don't do escorts anymore.

- So

what do you want?

I'm interested in where you got the escorts.

You found them on the deep web, didn't you?

- [SIGHS] The dark web.

- Yeah, that's what you told me.

- The dark web.

- Maybe.

- So what?

- My point is,

you're good at it, right?

- The dark web?

- I know my way around.

- Yeah.

- I need you to do a deep dive.

- Find something for me.

- I'm sorry.

I'm-I'm launching the new beta thing.

I don't have time to take on

You wouldn't want everyone here to know

about your old side hustle, would you?

Max? One of my best customers.

You want to blackmail me, be my guest.

Very much on the frontiers of pleasure.

They hold regular events.

what happens at these things,

but there's one next week, here, downtown.

Well, you got to get me in.

I don't care about the cost.

That's good, because it's a hefty buy-in.

A hundred grand.
