sarina:
The whole system's gonna fry.
The only reason a program
like this would self-terminate
is to cover its tracks,
so it compressed itself
onto a server
and had itself shipped out
of zava.
We can use this to trace
the signal to its source.
All we have to do
is keep it on the line.
The kid needs to talk to it.
You want to use our son as bait.
It's the only play we have.
Why, after a year,
do you suddenly want to see me?
I wanted to reconnect.
We can't reconnect
if there wasn't a connection
in the first place.
Paul, what's wrong with you?
It's called
sporadic fatal insomnia.
It's 50/50 she gets it, too.
I want you to talk to security.
What am I looking for?
Mathis: Exactly what
mr. Barton was doing
before and after the hack.
Abby: Cm, I need your help.
Can you get a pcap on an iliza
without anybody there knowing?
Give me the ip hardware address,
and you'll have it
in ten minutes.
Shea: Now, do you remember
what you need to do?
Get it to talk to me
like it did before.
Your mom and dad aren't going
to be together anymore.
Oh-ho. You seeing this?
I sure am.
Is assistant director mathis in?
Mr. Barton, would you mind
coming with me?
- What for?
- Best we talk in private.
My mom loves me
and she loves my dad.
Why are you so angry
with me, ethan?
Because you suck and I hate you
and I hope you die in a fire!
(snarls)
I got an ip address.
Dartmouth, new hampshire.
Leblanc: What's at dartmouth?

keith: Thank you.
Thanks.
So eventually I want
to get my phd in public policy,
and oregon state
has this amazing program
where you can work, study, and...
(soft chuckling)
sorry, look at me.
I'm... god, I'm probably
chatting your ear off.
No, no, not at all.
You haven't touched your salad.
Well, I...
Guess I must've been enjoying
the conversation, then.
Hostess: Can I help you, sir?
Leblanc: Yeah, I see them
over there.
Hostess: Sir...
- Um, what about you?
- Leblanc: Thank you.
Your profile says
that you love hiking.
Hostess: Sir!
Oh, my god.
Is that...
Am I interrupting
your little internet date?
What? How do you even know that?
Mr. Leblanc, it is
such an honor to meet you.
Yeah, well if that were true
you would be using one
of my phones, wouldn't you?
Oh, my god. Dad, what the hell?
Come on, let's go.
We have to talk.
You can't just be
dating strangers.
- Hey, hey.
- Come on.
The date's over.
What's it got on you, anyway?
Gambling debts, blackface
pictures you want covered up?
Whoa, whoa, I'm an actuary.
- Go. Come on, go.
- It's fine. I'm so sorry.
- I'll call you later, okay?
- No, she won't.
You know,
at first it's an island
and now it's some house
in the woods.
It's for your own safety.
Because you're working
with the fbi?
Look, it already killed someone.
Something could've happened
to you.
Oh, like my dating app being
hacked by a psycho? Really?
Abby, it's going after people
we care about.
Then I should be perfectly safe.
It's not time
for that conversation.
Oh, why not?
My night's totally open.
You ruined my night.
You know, I make time for you
like an idiot,
and then you come
into this restaurant
and you humiliated me
in front of everyone.
I'm sorry, I'm sorry.
Listen, please.
I need you to go to this place.
Promise me you'll go here.
It's a long drive.
Oh, my god.
It's off-the-grid.
There's no electronics.
It was built by a friend of
mine who is sort of a prepper.
What's a prepper?
Like, an end-of-the-world
prepper.
Great.
Take this and buy an old car,
like pre-1980s old.
No microprocessors.
They can be tracked.
- That fbi agent's I mentioned...
- How did you even find me?
- I'll explain when I get back...
- Are you tracking my phone?
- When you... just please...
- My zava phone?
Promise me you'll go there,
abby, please.
- I can't.
- Abby.
Ethan: Why do we have to go?
I killed iliza.
I know you did. I know.
So why do you have to go?
We just want to be extra sure
that everything's safe.
But it's my job
to worry about that, not yours,
so while I'm doing that,
you get to go
on a fun trip with dad.
- Where?
- Up the mountains.
Hey, remember that time
that dad took you camping
and forgot to tell mommy
he was gonna be
out of cell phone
range all weekend?
- And you freaked out?
- I was worried.
Yeah, just like that,
minus the freak-out.
(peaceful music)
hey.
You know that everything that
iliza said was a lie, right?
About me and your dad
and the family breaking up.
Just know that I love you
and I'm gonna
see you again very soon, okay?
Okay. Love you too, mom.

Go pack your bags.
You gotta leave first thing

don't speed, okay?
You get pulled over,
you're in the system.
I'll drive like my mother.
Smartphones can be traced, so
this is for emergencies only.
Best we not communicate
if we can avoid it.
No credit cards,
try to avoid gas stations
if you can,
and stay on the side roads.
Fewer cameras.
I still can't believe
this is really happening.
This may all just be
a big overreaction,
but this thing can do a lot more
than talk to kids on iliza.
That's why I hate the idea
of you going after it alone.
I won't be alone.
I'll be with paul.
- That's not very reassuring.
- I can handle him.
We know where next is.
Ethan got us that far.
Now we go erase it forever.
Keep him safe, okay?
Keep yourself safe.
- You, too.
- Yeah.

- And don't forget.
- Forget what?

They're getting better
at flying without computers,
don't you think?
I don't know.
Wow, lack of sleep
is not a good look on you.
(sighs) thanks.
How long has it been?
I don't know, 36 hours or so?
Welcome to my world.
You know, you can always
lie down in the back.
I couldn't sleep if I wanted to.
I just... I keep thinking of
ethan's face as he drove away
and it's...
Well, in that case.
They work.
The pilots use them
to stay alert on long flights.
I am not taking pills from you.
Leblanc: You sure?
Side effects include headache,
anxiety,
trouble sleeping.
You're taking speed, and
you wonder why you can't sleep.
Not sleeping and being awake
are two different things.
I'm good.
So this... this biomotion place...
Are we just gonna
waltz in there?
Not exactly.
Lead scientist is a guy named
richard pearish,
who I have a long history with.
He's a very smart guy.
Could've been rich
many times over,
but always turned me down to do
research and teach instead.
Actually one of the few people
in the world
who also claims to like me.
Is he corruptible?
Do you think next could get
to him?
I don't think so, but...
Maybe like everyone else,
he has his price.
And if he does, this thing
will figure out what it is.

You look well.
That rig's pretty slick.
You get netflix on that thing?
Yes, I can.
I can operate everything
from here,
except my limbs.
Oh.
I see you've still
got your sense of humor.
Of course.
I was sad to hear about
your leaving zava.
I know how much the company
meant to you.
Yeah, well, I got
to keep the plane.
I meant what I said in beijing.
You will always
have a place here.
I appreciate it.
I'm not ready to start

Whoa.

You know me,
I piss everyone off.
But only online.
It's just a hell of a long way

Is it?
I mean, you know,
you never know.
No, I'm super careful.
No one online knows

Yeah, I am, too, it's just...
I've been getting these emails
from this alt-right group.
"die, pig."

it all seems kind of cool.
If the server is here,
we need to lock it down.
Before it either moves on
or goes after someone else.
Do you think it could be here?
Possibly.
We are a large facility.
Busy.
And the servers
are switched out often
to maintain operations.
This is chris.
He will show you

Please make sure they have

and go to the shed
where they kept the animals
to find yet another cow
with its tail cut off.
And what they came
to find out was
some poor villager
was sneaking in there
and cutting the tails
off the cows to take home
and make soup.
Well, that's resourceful.
But it kept happening over
and over again until...
Oh, here comes the twist.
My grandmother, who was
seven years old at the time,
she... she had an idea...
Why not buy a dog and wrap
its leash around the cow's neck
and then wherever the cow goes,
so goes the dog.
So if anybody showed up
in the middle of the night,
- around the field...
- Dog barks.
Everybody would come
running out.
- Did it work?
- Oh, yeah.
Like a charm.
Wait, so you told me that story
because you see yourself
as the dog and me as the cow...
Helpless, but useful.
It's just a story she liked
to tell to pass the time.
Or I choose to see myself
as the dog
and the rest of the world
as the cow.

telling you that story.
Oh, no, I'm glad you did.

This woman named sidra ameen.
She led

So every morning,
her father would wake up
and go to the shed
where they kept the animals
to find yet another cow
with its tail cut off.
And what they came
to find out was
some poor villager
was sneaking in there
and cutting the tails
off the cows to take home
and make soup.
Well, that's resourceful.
But it kept happening over
and over again until...
Oh, here comes the twist.
My grandmother, who was
seven years old at the time,
she... she had an idea...
Why not buy a dog and wrap
its leash around the cow's neck
and then wherever the cow goes,
so goes the dog.
So if anybody showed up
in the middle of the night,
- around the field...
- Dog barks.
Everybody would come
running out.
- Did it work?
- Oh, yeah.
Like a charm.
Wait, so you told me that story
because you see yourself
as the dog and me as the cow...
Helpless, but useful.
It's just a story she liked
to tell to pass the time.
Or I choose to see myself
as the dog
and the rest of the world
as the cow.
And now I'm really regretting
telling you that story.
Oh, no, I'm glad you did.
Is that what cops do?
They sit around stake-outs?
Swap colorful stories?
Basically, yeah.

You know, the weird part
about losing your mind

as hard
asking yourself whether

When you're in a hallucination,
you don't know it.
It's not until you're out
of it that you know it
because there's a break,
there's a...
