I made you, and I love you,

but I will end you in a heartbeat.

How hard did you fight for me?

How hard did you try to make
a different deal with her?

My job is a lot easier
when he has a clear head,

and this lover's quarrel
that's between the two of you

does not help me right now.

Amelia Briggs has replaced
Megan in "The k*ll Plan."


- "Technicolor Highway."
- This script is so us.

There was a time when
you and I came first.

No matter what we did,
or who we did it with,

we made sure that we were okay.

When did that change?

I'm a journalist.

I'm doing an undercover
piece on the Institute.

It's about my stepbrother.

He used to come in my bedroom at night.

How is this possible? You
have a security system.


Maybe they're looking to make a point.

The point being what?

That they can come in anytime they want.

When we talk about the stories
of our lives here at IHM,


we're always talking about rewriting.

But what if we didn't have to unlearn?

What if our stories of fulfillment

started at the very
beginning when we were kids?

Now, for all of us,
that's just a hypothetical,

but for the next generation,
that is a real possibility.

Because with the right
tools, we can foster new lives

that are virtually
free of non-productives.

I'm talking about the kind
of tools that will come

as naturally to your
kids as reading, writing,

taking selfies.

And that's why I'm
thrilled to introduce to you

to IHM's new developmental program

which we call the First Life Initiative.

And I'm proud to present to you

the new state-of-the-art
facility that will be its home.

Together, we can make sure our
children's experience of the world


is unfiltered and authentic.

Imagine an education where
children grow up curious


and uninhibited by traditional
rote educational techniques


where they are free to
question and explore.


Who wouldn't want to live
in a world like that?


Now, obviously, none of this
is possible without the help


of IHM's most important members,

and that's why I'm
asking you all to join me

to help make this a reality.

Hey, how was your weekend?

Pretty good. You do anything fun?

Nah, just laid low.

Nice.

Guys, can I, uh, can I
get a quick level from you?

Oh, there's no dialogue.

I believe the script
calls for some, um, noises.

Oh! Copy that.

[moaning]

[moaning intensifies]

How's that?

Yeah, that'll work.

[all chuckling]

- No foam, skinny latte?
- Yeah, thanks.

It's you, Megan Morrison.

Wow.

Hey, uh, you holding up okay?

What?

You haven't seen, um...

Ah, sh*t.

That doesn't bother you, does it?

I thought it was funny.

I mean, the picture is so
obviously a production still,

which I tried to explain
to the guy at the register,

but I think he just felt sorry for me.

You might want to be worried about

who leaked the photo, though.

Ugh, my publicists leaked the photo.

I'm just surprised they did it so early.

Publicists? So you knew about this?

Uh, sort of, it's kind of complicated.

- Kyle!
- I should've told you.

We're okay, right?

What? Oh, my God. Yes, we're okay.

Of course we are, I mean,
you think we're okay, right?

I thought so, but you're
freaking me out a little bit.

I'm sorry! We are great.

Look, let's take a drive.

I need to show you something.

It's really great to
see you again, Kyle.

Are Terence and DeAnn
going to be joining us?

No. No, not today.

I just wanna get Megan up
to speed on the PR plan.

Sure thing.

- We're all fans, by the way.
- Thank you.

Now, I know we jumped the
g*n a little on the rollout,

but there are a ton
of fall releases, so...

we thought it would be a
good idea to get a head start

on the campaign.

What exactly are these? Potential ideas?

Oh, no. It's one entire story.

It goes from left to right.

Because the love story
in "The k*ll Plan"

is so compelling,

we're using a romantic
triangle to build intent to see.

It's all timed to build maximum interest

in Kyle and Amelia for
the release this fall.

If SM does well, it can really
give the per-screen numbers

a nice bump on opening weekend.

SM?

Stands for Stealth Marketing.

So... our relationship falling apart,

this is all to promote the movie?

Yes, but we do get you back together

in time for the premiere.
We're thinking...

things eventually get a little crazy,

you guys will decide to take
a weekend away to reconnect...

in Paris.

The focus groups always love Paris.

So you knew about this? The whole thing?

Just the general shape of it.

It's all a part of a bigger discussion

about the PR campaign for the movie.

Uh, posters, TV ads, talk shows.

Honestly, I try to
stay out of the details.

But the details are what they're
telling the public about us.

That doesn't matter to you?

Well, I don't want to
come off as a bad person.

I make that very clear,

but I let them do their
thing, and I do mine.

I don't see how you
could separate the two.

Easy. One's fake. The other one's real.

It's not that simple.

They're our names and our images,

so it's not entirely fake,

and your publicists
are writing the script,

which essentially means that you are.

- Megan...
- Kyle, they work for you.

And what if something
actually real happens?

Does that just get ignored?

Well, I guess that depends.

On what?

On whether or not it
fits into the narrative.

Wow, okay.

Megan, I, uh... I should've
given you more of a heads-up.

I'm sorry, but we're talking
about a marketing plan,

not our lives.

Our lives are controlled by a contract

that we signed with each
other, remember that?

There are stages in that, too.

- That's completely different.
- Maybe.

Look, don't get me
wrong... I love our life.

It's just...

sometimes it feels like
someone else is planning it.

I thought we'd do
better. Well, you know,

these things don't happen overnight.

I'm sure the money will come.

Not if you keep hijacking the financing.

I just spoke to Mitch Kirkland.

He said he's investing in your movie.

When did that happen?

Okay, yes,

we spoke after your
presentation the other day,

but he came to me.

What was I supposed to
do, talk him out of it?

Get him on board with this project.

Oh, come on, Terence.

Mitch doesn't give a sh*t
about progressive education.

He only comes here to placate
his little trophy wife.

by your impassioned plea
for us to be a team again.

Let's get real.

If you and Kyle were on speaking terms,

he would be helping you with this,

and you would be
raising a lot more money.

I'm well aware of that.

That doesn't explain
why you're not helping.

I am helping.

Kyle loved the script that I gave him,

and that puts us back on solid ground.

And right now,

that's the only thing keeping him close.

Oh, my God. I honestly don't think

I have a single tear left in me.

We sh*t that confession scene all day,

I thought we'd go to dinner.

Our table's waiting for us at Nobu.

Can't we just order in

No, I meant Kyle. Did he seem happy?

Sure.

Well, that's not necessarily happiness.

Did he give you any
details about the proposal?

- Was it strictly impulse, or...
- You miss him.

him and ask him yourself.

No.

- Yeah.

Just got engaged. It's
a major life event.

He's been a fundamental
part of the Institute.

do you mean somewhere
where we can be seen?

It wouldn't hurt.

an invitation from me.

Yeah, well, I am here.

It's very nice of her to come,

considering that this was
supposed to be her movie.

Yup, she's amazing.

What's up?

Well, Terence would like

the four of us to have dinner
to celebrate your engagement.

He sent you to ask me?

Well, you and I actually have
a functioning relationship.

Yeah, well, we almost didn't.

Yeah, well...

we can thank "Technicolor
Highway" for saving us all.

Look, I don't know what
happened between you and Terence

because neither of you will
talk to me about it, but I...

I'm not going to have
dinner with Terence.

Okay, I promised I would
ask, and now I have.

He didn't even like Megan.

He is just afraid this train is going
to leave the station without him.

So I'll take that as a no?

Yeah. No.

Why would you do something like that?

I really believe in the First

But...

this is too much money

I actually didn't expect
to get paid at all.

Let me ask you a question.

Whose metric do you use
to determine your value?

Because it isn't mine.

Even if I was doing it pro bono,

it would still be billable hours,

and, I mean, partners in my
firm don't even make this much.

Well, that's too bad for them.

I put a great deal of value
in what you did for me.

The check is an expression of that.

Well, it just feels a little excessive.

Okay. If I'm really being honest,

it was also a bit of an incentive.

For what exactly?

I need a permanent in-house counsel...

someone whose abilities will be worth

the very generous salary I'm gonna pay.

Oh.

So this is about my abilities?

What else would it be about?

This big check,

this big job offer...

I can't help but wonder if
any of it would be on the table

if I wasn't... close with Megan.

That's old thinking for you.

I'm talking about timing.

I know you've had a
falling out with Kyle.

Maybe you're looking
for a connection point.

You see yourself as a connection
point to Megan and Kyle?

- That's not what I said.
- 'Cause I don't.

I think you're smart, and
I think you're talented.

And I think this is the
kind of fulfilling work

that's been missing in your life.

So the question is:
Do you or do you not...

want to be at the
center of your own story?

Wait, what?

It's a little wrap gift to myself.

I had no idea you even played.

Yeah, the car's outside, and, um...

Oh, isn't that usually
code for something worse?

Nervous breakdown, overdose...

Or she's fine and she's just
trying to reclaim the narrative.

Oh, well, but that's pretty cynical.

It happens all the time.

Okay, what if this time
it's something serious?

After my mother d*ed,

all I could think about was...

was finding Evan and confronting him

for what he did to me.

And he... he was in
Hong Kong at the time,

and I just kind of
showed up at his doorstep,

and...

when I finally had enough drinks in me

to talk about what happened, he...

snapped.

And he att*cked me, and
I fought back, and it...

it just...

it just happened.
