Ow.

Good morning, Mr. Scout.

One, two, three, four, five,

six, seven, eight, nine, ten, 11, 12.

Thirty-two, 33, 34,

35, 36, thirty-se--

Okay, me and Helly will find the goat man and other possible goat people.

Dylan, hit the new break room.

Maybe some of the other departments use it too.

Um, yeah. Maybe later.

Uh, okay. This is kind of important, Dylan.

Yeah. Uh, I'm in a good groove here, but don't worry about it. I'll get to it.

Okay. Well, just show them the sketch. Do not leave it behind.

O… O&D.

Yes, Irv. You can do this.

I know.

You guys really think they're gonna let us roam around?

They said on the video we can go wherever we want.

Lumon is listening, remember?

I thought that meant they were listening to our conversations.

Yeah, he's right, Mark. I did get the hint of a double meaning.

Well… …be discreet.

If they don't know we're doing it, how can they punish us?

Hey, y-you… you haven't been back there, have you?

No, no.

We've got you.

Thank you, Helly.

So, say we find her…

Sorry?

Say we get to the goat department and they're like,

"Yes, Ms. Casey's here. She's in this goat cage."

What do we do then?

Well, we get her to the south stairwell… I'll go with her…

and once we're out the door, my outie'll know what to do.

Right. Okay. Well, sounds like you've got it figured out.

Are you sure you're okay helping me out with this?

Yeah, of course.

Okay, good.

Yeah.

Um…

I… I… Um.

Dylan.

I thought you were going to O&D.

Dylan.

I've recreated the paintings.

The ones I told you about. The ones my outie was working on.

What?

You see, I've been thinking.

Maybe the hallway is really down here.

Maybe that's what my dreams have been.

We could look for it, Dylan.

We could go today.

You could accompany me.

Yeah. Um,

yeah, maybe.

Or maybe… maybe you go yourself, like, for… for stealth, you know?

- S… Stealth? - Yeah.

- Look, I… I can't really explain. I just-- -

Miss Huang.

Hall pass.

Everything chill?

Dylan G., come with me, please.

Good morning, Seth.

Natalie.

Looks like your balloons could use some coffee.

Uh, they were in the--

I've got the Board.

Of course.

Hello.

The Board says, "Hello."

Hello. I want to thank the Board humbly for my recent betterment.

The Board says, "You're welcome."

The Board is jubilant at your ascendance.

It wants you to feel appreciated and asks if you do.

I do.

The Board austerely desires for you to feel connected to Lumon's history.

To that end,

please accept from the Board these inclusively re-canonicalized paintings

intended to help you see yourself in Kier, our founder.

Oh. Oh, my.

You'll find the whole Kier cycle.

The Board wishes to express that I, Natalie,

received the same gift upon receipt of my current position

and found it extremely moving.

I'm grateful.

Yes.

It's meaningful to see myself reflected in…

The Board has concluded the call.

Congratulations, Seth.

Is that it?

Think so.

Whoa.

Oh, you're gonna--

You sure?

Okay.

All right. Okay, we're doing this.

Can you see anything?

No. Careful, there's poop.

Okay.

Okay.

Oh, my God.

What the hell?

Are you here to kill me?

Uh, no. No, no, no, no, no, no.

I… Sorry. Hi, I-I… I'm Mark.

- I'm Helly. - And we're with Macrodata Refinement.

What is this place?

Mammalians Nurturable.

Please, we… we mean you no harm. We just wanna talk.

Please.

Irving.

Felicia, hello.

I'm… I'm sorry to pop in after all this time.

I'm sure you must be very busy.

It's good to see you.

Her name's Ms. Casey.

She's our former Wellness Director.

Wellness…

we don't abide such fripperies here.

Right. Well, she's been retired, but we believe she may still be on the floor.

Are you sure you don't know her?

Maybe you should take that page of paper and be on your way.

Not until you've answered my question.

Mark.

You should have left.

Um, it would be cool to know what this is about.

So, like, is it rude to keep asking why you're a kid?

I… I don't mean to impugn. It's just like, are you okay, you know?

They're not, like, forcing you to be here, are they?

Oh, fuck.

Why are we going to the security room?

- -

Wow.

Dylan?

Hi.

Hi.

Dylan G., through good behavior and output,

you've earned an 18-minute visitation event with your outie's wife,

Gretchen G.

Cool.

Your time begins now.

Should we sit?

Nice sack.

Sorry?

Uh, your… The, um--

Oh, thanks. Um, they made me put my stuff in here.

Badass.

You really don't know me at all?

No. Um… Well, I mean, from the photos from just now, but…

Yeah, Seth warned me that this might be weird.

- Who's Seth? - Don't you--

Please refrain from sharing information

that may be privileged or sensitive.

Thank you.

Okay.

Who is that child?

Miss Huang.

Look. Uh, it's really nice to meet you, but am I in trouble?

Oh, no. No, you're not… you're not in trouble.

Um…

We have three kids.

Right.

And y-you, um…

No, he… Or--

My husband has had trouble keeping other jobs.

He dumb?

No.

He a dick?

No.

What is wrong with him?

Oh, nothing's wrong with him.

He just…

He never quite found his thing.

So he's actually kind of a fuck up?

Do you wanna see a picture of the kids?

Yeah.

Okay.

So, Jim is six. He's in the first grade now.

And Ruth is four.

And Merrick just turned two.

Wow.

Holy shit.

Look at them.

They're awesome.
