02x05 - The Ghost Is Seen

[bunniefuu]

It's okay to be a ghost.

It has its pleasures.

You're light.

You float.

You slip in and out unseen.

There's no love to lose.

Or burden to be.

You have so little
to hold you down.

You are free.

Some pearls are never found.

They hide under the
sand on the ocean floor.

No one knows they're there.

But the pearl knows.

Maybe there was a time
he wanted to be found,

to be seen

and to be held.

Hi!

But now only hope hurts.

I am my own secret,

a secret kept by me.

Okay, bye.

So, Tyler,

I went through, like, a thousand of
Charles Szidon's e-mails last night.

You did? Don't worry.

I used the outside router
like you showed me,

but it's too clean.

It's too formal.

There's nothing about bribery,
nothing about Senator Munger,

none of the stuff
Jeff told us to find.

I'm getting so frustrated.

Well, did you ever think that
maybe nothing ill*gal is going on?

Wake up.

Tyler, don't be so naive.
That's the whole point.

There's plenty there.
We just don't have it yet.

We've got to get in
somehow, you know?

I mean, the LA Times
is, like, all over me.

They're, like, waiting for me.

You two in my office now.

I asked Dan point blank,

"When all the data is processed,
is Cogentiva being disbanded?"

And he's like,

"Well, we haven't discussed
that, Doug. You're in a good place,"

with this sh*t-eating
grin on his face.

You know you're f*cked when
they say, "You're in a good place."

I mean, you're a VP.

Thank you. Maybe lay off
my people, but what about me?

And don't lie to my
face, Dan Schnitzman.

You can't let them have the
last laugh. Dougie, you cannot.

And for what it's worth,
we think you're a genius,

and we need your help, Dougie.

Will you help us?

I don't see anything.

Maybe Szidon has
another account,

you know, something for his
more sensitive communications.

I mean, maybe there's some kind
of encrypted code we need to break.

Well, if he did, it would be a
private account off the server.

It'd be real down-low. Trust me.

Well, do we get Tyler to go
up there in his old IT uniform

and say he's got to work on
Szidon's computer and fix it,

and then he just, like, puts
it in his bag and steals it?

Are you f*cking nuts? Right.

We've got to get
behind the curtain.

We need somebody on the inside.

Assistants. What about
assistants? They turn so fast.

I mean, trust me,
I had one. I know.

Maybe we get in
with his assistant.

Maybe they're loose-lipped, you know,
or maybe they want to burn this place, too?

Highly f*cking risky.

Why? We've got two weeks
left in this place. It's worth a shot.

I know his assistant.

You know his assistant?

Well, I don't know her,
but I know who she is.

She works out at
the company gym.

Hi.

Hi.

Sorry. What?

I was just saying hi.

Excuse me? I was just...

I didn't mean for you to stop.

I've just seen you here,
and I thought I'd say hi.

Whatever. It's... Oh, okay.

You know, I didn't mean
to ruin your run, and I'm...

I think actually, I'm actually
gonna get off this. I'm just...

Sorry. Um...

I work at Abaddonn.

Right. Yeah. I think
everyone here does.

Yeah. That's true.

I'm just gonna...

I got nervous, and I
never really asked her out.

Dude, you need to
have more confidence.

Maybe you should get a
spray tan. You're white as f*ck.

Well, I mean, I'm sure
you tried your best.

It just didn't...

Okay. I'll do it.

Jeez.

I'll turn her out.

Okay. Cool, Dougie. Awesome.

I'll take one for the team.

What? Picking up a single
woman in her forties? Please.

It's like sh**ting
fish in a barrel.

Old fish.

Ah...

I'm sorry. I forgot
you were old.

Aw, sh...

Excuse me. Hey. These... What...

And I'm totally confused. I
don't know. Maybe you could...

Maybe you could
help me out. Oh, sure.

You a big runner?

I just like to run after work.

Yeah. I run. Oh, yeah?

Yeah. You ever
run a marathon? No.

I did a 10K once. It
was for breast cancer.

Nice. Right on.

You're a good person.

I can tell. What's
your name again?

Eileen. I'm Dougie.

I'm a VP at Cogentiva.

Oh, wow.

But anyway, some people are
getting together tomorrow after work,

and you should come out with us.

I'm sorry, but I
really should...

No. No, buts, Eileen. Come on.

Anything but but, Eileen.

Eileen, hey. All right.

So these are my
friends. This is Amy.

This is Tyler.

Yeah, from the gym.

Exactly.

We all work together downstairs.

Well, they work for
me because I'm a VP.

Yeah. Right. Are you ready?

Sure. Yeah?

Cheers.

It's so great you
can come out and...

Well...

I think it's good to, you know,

get a chance for somebody
who's been there so long

to come and catch you up.

I mean, listen.

I think I realized after 15 years at
Abaddonn what the company was really up to

as far as dumping
and union busting...

Hmm. Selling poisonous products.

Well, no company is perfect.

We are far from perfect, Eileen.

We're far from perfect.

Believe me, I tried to push a
community outreach job, you know,

somebody who could,
like, offer up solutions

to how we could be
better corporate citizens.

No one seemed
to care about that,

I mean, especially not upstairs.

Well, Charles Szidon cares.
He's done a lot of great things.

Like what has he done, Eileen,

except use his government
contacts to help Abaddonn...

Amy, I just have to
ask you something.

Am I being set up?

What do you mean?

I just don't understand
why I'm here tonight.

Are one of those
guys interested in me?

Ah... She shut me down.

She's a real company woman.

I think you can move the
needle here, Tyler. She likes you.

What? She likes him?

She thinks he's sweet.

What did she say about me?

She didn't... No.

What did she say? Did
she say anything about me?

She said no.

She likes Tyler.

Don't look at me.

Tyler, this is good. Go
over there and talk to her.

Um...

You run fast. What?

Oh, I've seen you
on the treadmill.

You have a lot of
energy for your age.

Oh, yeah.

Well, I listen to music
so it gets me going.

Yeah. I love music. Yeah.

I have a huge library.

Oh, wow.

I download music illegally.

Oh, well, that's one way.

So are you kind of shy?

Mmm, yeah.

I used to be shy.

When I was young,
I was really shy.

I'm a learned extrovert. I
learned to be extroverted.

I would make myself walk up to
people and just say, "Hello. I'm Eileen,"

and sometimes people would walk
away, but it was really good for me.

You can't just be afraid
of rejection all the time.

Are you single?

Mmm-hmm.

Have you ever been in
therapy or anything like that?

No.

Oh, you should try it sometime.

It's really helpful, especially
if you have intimacy issues.

I buried myself in
work for, like, 15 years,

and then one morning, I
woke up, and I was like,

"Eileen, you're 40 years old,
and you still have not figured it out.

"You're not happy."

And my therapist has
really helped me a lot.

So I'm just trying to be more
open and, you know, let people in.

I have, like, 100,000
songs if you ever want any.

Oh, cool.

It was good, little c*ck.

It was nice. It was good.

All right. Cool. I
got to get back.

I got a hot date waiting
for me, a girl, so...

Oh, cool.

You know, don't be late
tomorrow, or I'm gonna dock you.

Just kidding. Okay.

Eileen, it was so
great meeting you.

Oh, and I loved
hearing about your job,

and I'd love to hear more
and maybe share more with you

about, like, certain
really interesting things

going on at Abaddonn
that you might want to know,

and certain people,
like what they're up to,

people who are, like, closer
than you could ever imagine,

just, like, right there, you
know, et cetera, et cetera.

I mean, I've been here
forever, so I just know the score.

So that would be...

Right? Right.

Great. That'd be fun.
That'd be so... Great. Cool.

And, yeah, so good
night, you guys.

Have a... Yeah. Bye, Tyler.

Ha.

I parked over here. Oh, me, too.

Okay. Walk with me.

Well, I'm glad you
came out tonight.

Of course. All right.
Well, this is me. So... Oh.

Huh.

What are you doing
tomorrow night?

Uh, tomorrow night? Nothing.

Do you want to
have dinner? Sure.

Oh, and before, I could stop by your office
and set you up with some of my music.

Fantastic. I would love it.

I need new music.

So, um...

Oh.

Mmm.

Mmm?

Mmm. Mmm.

Well, Tyler, I'll
see you tomorrow.

Okay. I'll see you tomorrow.

These poor f*ck.

If they only knew.

I feel like we should tell them.

What? Yeah.

No, Dougie. We have
unfinished business here.

Look, I want to level this
place just as bad as you, okay,

but I think we're
hitting a dead end here.

We have got to
get on his computer.

What do they do in
the movies and stuff?

I don't know.

They go through the vents.

They go through
the vents. Hey...

They go... Amy, this
isn't Nakatomi Plaza.

All right? We're not in
f*cking Die Hard right now.

Oh, sh*t. We can't give up.

Hey, can I go early today?

Why, you got a big date?

Maybe.

Yeah. Why the hell
not? Your job is a joke.

Wait, wait.

What if we break
into Szidon's house?

What? Right? We get his address,

we go on Google Map, and we, like,
see how we can get onto the property.

Amy, I'm a hacker, not
a f*cking cat burglar.

So we hire somebody.
Okay. We hire somebody.

Are you drunk, Amy?
Have you been drinking?

I'm gonna go because I told her I
was gonna stop by her office before

so I could share some of my
music with her over the network.

Okay. Yes! That's it.

Now we're f*cking
talking. That's a good idea.

Get her on the network.

Once she's on the network to get his
music, we can get on her hard drive,

and she'd have his private e-mail.
She's his executive assistant.

Good call, Tyler. Yes.

That's awesome. Yes.

No. That wasn't an
idea. I'm not doing that.

You don't have to
do that. But you said...

You don't have to do
that. We'll do it for you.

You going now? Then go.

Go now. Go. Stick to the plan.

Good job, Tyler.

Go! Go! Go! Go!

Seriously. DOUGIE: Yes!

Oh, you know what?
He left for the day,

but I can have him call you
first thing in the morning, Scott.

You bet. I will. Okay. Bye-bye.

Hi. Hey.

I'm so excited to
get the new music.

So how do we do it? Do you
have, like, a zip drive or something?

No. I just need to get on your computer,
and I can log you onto the network.

Oh, okay. Go ahead.

I'm just gonna get this.

Mmm-hmm.

I'm just gonna be right back. I
just need to do one thing, so...

If you get in before I do,
make sure he sees this.

I think Terrence is waiting to
go over all of this at his 3:00.

Also, we need to firm
up his speaking schedule.

I think they're very anxious
to lock down those dates...

We're in. What?

We're f*cking in. No.

We can see everything
on her hard drive.

Oh, my God.

Oh, my God, oh, my God, Dougie.

Dougie, I love you.
Oh, my God, I love you.

I love you so much. Oh,
my God, you are amazing.

You're a genius.
You are a genius.

Genius! Right here.

So what was your last relationship,
if you don't mind my asking?

Sometimes I'm kind of blunt.

I was with this woman
who works at Abaddonn.

Her name is Julie. Hmm.

Was it a hard break-up?

It turns out, she
didn't even think

we were in a relationship. So...

Yeah.

I know what that's like.

My boss is a very charismatic
man, and he's very charming.

But I think for a lot of years, it was
like I was in a relationship with him,

not sexual, but in my mind,

and I felt like when I was dating
someone that I was cheating on my boss.

Isn't that weird?

And I was like, "This is crazy.

"What am I doing?
This is like a fiction.

"He's married.
I'm his assistant."

Heh.

Yeah, Julie, we
worked in IT together,

and, anyway, we went
out one night after work,

and we had, um,

sex.

You had sex? Yeah?

Maybe we shouldn't
talk about this.

Okay.

Listen...

Things change.

You think you're stuck, and
then suddenly, you're not.

It's like you have
a fever forever

and suddenly, you wake
up and one day, you don't,

and also, therapy helps.

- That was so yummy.
- I loved it.

I love margaritas. I love
the salt and the sweet.

Hey, Eileen, do you, um...

Do I what?

Do you want to go back to my
place maybe for another drink?

Sure. Yeah?

It'd be great. It'll be fun.

The only thing is,
I live in Yucaipa.

Oh, Yucaipa?

Well, that's not
that far. That's fine.

Oh, yeah? Okay.

So where is Yucaipa, actually?

Well, it's not far. It's like an
hour and a half around the...

Just down the... sh*t.

Yeah. My apartment is pretty...

No one has been here
for a while besides me.

Huh.

You need plants,
something alive.

Um...

Do you want to spend the night?

Uh...

You know, you don't really
look me in the eye that much.

Mmm...

Sorry.

Look, I just don't
want to get hurt, okay?

I'm just at the age where I don't
want to go through all that, you know?

I don't have expectations.
I don't care, whatever,

but I just don't want to
deal with a jerk or a d*ck

or someone who's
fake or mean, you know?

You seem sad and
sweet, and I like that,

but are you? Are you sweet?

I think so.

I'm just too old to get
kicked in the face, you know?

Well, that's not my plan.

That's not your plan?

Tyler... Yeah.

Look at me.

Good morning, sunshine.

Did you play hard to get?

No. Yeah. All right.

Yeah. I'm proud of you, son.

Life's short. Get laid, right?

Sorry, Connie.

Tyler, you're my hero.

Why?

Dougie and I have
been here all night.

Szidon does have a
private e-mail account,

and we found it, and we got in.

We found out
everything Jeff needed.

Senators, Congressmen,

all these high-ranking
officials at the FDA, the EPA,

they're gonna hang,

and it's all thanks to you.

What... Wait. What do you mean?

Eileen's hard drive.
Because of you, we got in.

Wait a minute, Amy. I
mean, you found stuff?

Found stuff?

We found the mother lode.

But... But what?

But she's kind of my friend now.

Tyler, don't worry.

She's never gonna know
what happened or what you did.

But this has got
to go public now.

Guys like Szidon
own this country.

They own our government.

I mean, people have to know
about this. This is bribery.

It's ill*gal, and this is
for the greater good.

You know that, right, Tyler?

Hello. Hi.

Hey. What are you doing?

I just got here. I'm
just sitting at my desk.

Me, too. I was totally late.

I had fun last night.

Yeah. Me, too. What
are you doing later?

Um, no plans. You
want to have lunch?

Sure.

Oh, Mr. Szidon...

Oh, he's coming out of his
office right now. I'll call you in a bit.

Okay. Bye.

Bye.

I just am so excited
to read you one thing.

This is it. We're gonna do this.

Oh, my gosh, we are
gonna break them wide open.

Something has changed.

Now the ghost is scared.

He cannot float. He's heavy.

He's flesh and blood.

He must open doors.

He can't slip away unseen.

The ghost is sad.

All those years
invisible haunt him now.

Why didn't he try,

or care,

or be?

The ghost is happy.

He is found.

He is held

and he is seen.

The ghost is seen.
