Severance (2022–…): Season 1, Episode 6 - Hide and Seek - full transcript

Graner.

We ran the data from
Kilmer's head like you asked.

We found the signature from the
console they used to hack the chip.

Whose was it?

Ours.

I think it's
traceable to Reghabi.

- Reghabi.
- Yep.

She cracked reintegration.
I'll find her.

"Tame in me the tempers four"

that I may serve thee evermore.

Place in me the values nine



"that I may feel
thy touch divine."

Can I come in?

Yeah. Yeah.

You found this?

A while back.

I come here sometimes, just me.

Now, I want to show it to you.

It's beautiful.

It could be just for
us. Our secret place.

Finally.

What I mean to say is that your
O&D colleagues are very nice,

but they're also…

- Always around.
- Yes.

Is this okay?



Irving, you know, the Lumon manual doesn't
say anything about lip-to-lip contact.

It does discourage romantic
fraternization, though.

This can't be romantic then.

No.

Not romantic… at all?

I'm truly sorry…

I'm just not ready.

I'm... I'm sorry.

It's fine.

Just stay.

Stay here with me.

You did so good.

Now we're gonna go home and
see if you'll eat. Please.

Looks like we both
made it through.

- Oh, hello.
- Hi.

Devon. From the retreat.

I accosted you for your coffee.

He's beautiful.

He looks like a William.

His name's Bradley, actually.

Not William?

- You changed it?
- Did we leave the juice boxes in the car?

We must have, yeah.

Hi. Angelo Arteta.

I'm Devon. Nice to meet you.

- Congratulations there.
- Oh, thank you.

You two know each other?

Yeah, I was... We were...
Met at the birthing cottages.

- Nice to meet you too, Devon.
- Yeah. You too.

Wow-kazow.

We should go.

- Bye. Bye.
- Bye, you guys.

Bye, Bradley.

Declan, Kai, come on.

What in the fuckity fuck?

Sorry.

What does camaraderie mean?

Most linguists agree it comes
from the Latin "camera,"

which means "a device used
to take a photograph."

And of course, the best photographs
are of groups of happy friends

who love each other deeply.

But I think camaraderie is more
than smiling together in photos.

It's standing together
in hard times.

It's recognizing a common
struggle in another person

and reaching out to
offer them a loving hand.

We should return
to O&D immediately.

All of us. Today.

Someone's eager to fraternize.

Fraternization has
nothing to do with it.

This could be the start of
us uniting the departments

the way Kier always intended.

Maybe his ghost can
officiate your wedding.

This is inappropriate workplace
commentary. And I'm self-reporting you.

You're reporting me to yourself?

Okay. You said they
were making things?

Yes, in some kind of
machines. We didn't ask what.

It's the clubs they
murder those goats with.

Shut up.

I agree with Irving. O&D
is the next piece of this.

- Now, once we've mapped the whole floor...
- To be clear, I do not approve of mapping.

Right.

What if we go on another
"mental health walk"?

Could be fun.

What... I don't know.

I mean, we still have a
lot of work to do, so…

Oh, right.

The work is mysterious
and important.

That's good. That
sounds just like me.

I know.

Back to work, slackers.

Praise Kier.

Hey.

Are you fraternizing too?

What? No, I...

I'm a leader who cares
about his employees

and takes their
requests seriously.

- Really?
- Yeah.

Look at you all dewy mouthed.

- You never smile at me.
- He's right, Mark.

You are sparing with the
facial encouragements.

That's ridiculous. I
smile all the time.

Hey there.

What are you all talking about?

Just...

- We're...
- Dis...

- Discussing the...
- Yes, Mrs...

- Ms. Casey. Ms. Casey.
- Ms. Casey. Yeah.

Wait, where is she?

Part-time innies may not be as
socialized and sophisticated as yourself,

but they still must be held
accountable for their actions.

Ms. Casey was told to supervise
Helly, and she failed at that task.

Because I snuck Helly out.

I mean, if anyone should be
in the break room, it's me.

Valiance.

Not a core principle, but sweet.

Who won't you go to
the break room for?

She's just a wellness
counselor, Mark.

Yes, but she
shouldn't be punished.

I mean, I thought
Helly needed a walk.

I mean, I'm allowed to do that.

Just a walk?

Yeah.

Or were you sniffing
around other departments

while your department
falls woefully below quota?

She almost died.

It's not your job to play
nursemaid to every new refiner.

Okay, so what is my job?

Are you really asking me that?

Yeah.

What is it we actually do here?

We serve Kier, you child!

And until you get that through your
mildewed little brain and hit quota,

MDR's hallway privileges
are hereby revoked.

So get your little ass back to your desk
and stay there until you're told to move.

Goddamn tragedy for the ages.

MDR will mourn the "will-they-won't-they"
energy shared by Ms. Casey and myself.

Oh, yeah?

And to think I wore this
nice-ass shirt for her today.

When you picked that shirt,
you didn't know she existed.

Well, maybe love
transcends severance.

- You think so?
- No.

What about you and Mark?

What?

You two enjoy sneaking
off the other day?

"Baby goats"?

Why are you saying it like that?

Are you implying that "baby goats"
is code for sex with Mark S.?

Wow.

Is "baby goats" code
for sex with Mark S.?

No, they were actual goats.

Why would we call it that?

Okay. Yeah, I believe you.

Mark.

You find out what happened?

She's in the break room.

Shit. Is that because of us?

And we're not allowed in the outer
hallways anymore till we hit quota,

so no more
interdepartmental visits!

Are you serious?

I'm…

I'm sorry, Mark.
It's... It's my fault…

That I've been setting a bad
example as the senior-most refiner.

Which way did you
say it was to O&D?

Milchick!

I'm on it.

This is more people
than I've ever seen.

Same.

It's okay.

I know change can
be disorienting,

but MDR is here now.

You are welcome here,

much as I hope all of us will be welcome
to visit you at your place of endeavors.

Now go on. Surely you must
have some questions for them.

So, it's called
Macrodata Refinement?

What do you refine?

Is that a watering can?

We think it might be supplies
for the executive wing upstairs.

Then again, last week's output
had more of an aggressive feel.

The hatchets weren't aggressive.

Hatchets?

We've been trying to figure
out how it all fits together.

We found a department the
opposite way from here

that's, well,
raising baby goats.

Raising baby goats?

There is a lot unknown to us as
well, but we keep plugging along.

It's important work, obviously.

Everything we do
here is important.

It's important because it actually
is or because you're saying it is?

Look, maybe we should
work together on this.

Together doing what, exactly?

I don't know. Finding
out why there are goats.

Or, you know, finding
out how big this place is

or how many of us there are.

I mean, why won't they tell
us what we're doing here?

What-What are they so afraid of?

If the Eagan philosophy is
illumination above all...

Illumination beyond all.

But yes.

Then why doesn't
that include us?

Why are we down here
still working in the dark?

That was poetic as shit, man.

Thanks.

Mark is right.

- He is?
- He is.

Irving, Kier would want us to feel the
warm embrace of knowledge and truth.

That way we could be true
partners in his teachings.

Exactly.

I think, as the two
department chiefs,

Mark and I should make contact with this
goat department, see what they know.

And we can each bring
one aide-de-camp.

We're not children, Mr. Milchick.
We didn't do anything wrong.

Kier, chosen one, Kier.

Kier, brilliant one, Kier.

Brings the bounty to the plain Through
the torment, through the rains.

Progress, knowledge
Show no fear.

Kier, chosen one.

Kier.

I trusted you, and
you abused that trust.

Your inefficiency and
free-range chicken roaming

is ultimately your
responsibility.

Escort him to the break room.

I'm sorry.

What happened to your hand?

Apparently, I jammed my hand at
work replenishing a watercooler.

Or at least that's
what they tell me.

Those jugs are very heavy.

Indeed they are.

Another merlot?

I'm fine, thanks.

I'm good with water, thank you.

Have you seen the princess?

No, not since her birth.

But I did talk on the
phone with your sister.

I don't know how much she
tells you about her...

- Latching difficulties?
- Yes.

I-I'm aware. Maybe too
aware. I don't know.

Well, she just wanted the names
of some lactation consultants.

Well, it's not something
serious, is it?

No. It's very common.

Still, it's probably good
to get an expert opinion.

I mean, from someone other than…

- Ricken? Yes.
- …Ricken.

Did you ever think
about having kids?

With Gemma?

Yes.

Yeah, we tried for
a little while.

It wasn't really working.

We talked about adopting
at one point, but…

I don't know. Then you think, "Okay,
this is the life you've been given."

And, um, that's another life,
and you don't get that one.

"So do something with this."

That's very healthy.

Well, it's mostly
stuff she said.

She was very pragmatic.

Always had a plan B.

You know, one time we were supposed
to go on this camping trip and...

Is it weird that I'm
talking about her right now?

- I feel like...
- No, I think it's also healthy.

Yeah, but we're on a date. I...

I haven't walked out on you yet.

You know, sometimes I think…
she'd want me to get off my ass.

And sometimes I think she's
not worried about me at all.

She's just pissed
that she's dead.

Sorry, I know this doesn't
totally make sense.

She's a part of you.

You know? You can't just
separate yourself...

- Oh, no, but you can, Alexa.
- Oh, shit.

With this exciting
new procedure.

- Walked right into that.
- Yes, you did.

- Love?
- Yeah?

- She's here.
- Yeah.

Careful. Watch your
step. Right this way.

- Love it.
- Okay. My girl. There's my girl.

Okay.

You must be Devon.

Devon, this is Mrs. Selvig.

Hi. Yeah, and you're Mark's neighbor.
Thanks so much for meeting with us.

Oh, it's a privilege.

I went giddy when Mark mentioned
you were looking for someone.

- So serendipitous.
- I know.

The kelp worked, huh?

And this must be little Eleanor.

Hello, little Eleanor.

- You had a vaginal birth, yes?
- Oh, yeah.

We should talk about
different nursing positions.

Oh, and I brought you this.

Shea butter salve
for your nipples.

It's on the house.

- We are talking to a few candidates.
- Of course.

Oh, here we go.

- Sorry. Sorry.
- Yeah.

Oh, no, don't be sorry.
That's what babies do.

May I?

Yeah, yeah.

Darling.

There, there, there. Okay.

…seventy hundred one,

seventy hundred two,

seventy hundred forty-three,

seventy hundred forty-six,

seventy hundred forty-eight…

Dylan.

I've awoken you at home. I
need to know where you put it.

Where I put what?

The ideographic card
you took from O&D.

I saw the footage
of you taking it.

Did you smuggle it
out? Is it here?

Holy shit, is this my house?

Dylan, listen. You have no idea
how sensitive this information is.

If someone paid you to
smuggle out that card...

No, no. I just... I
put it in the bathroom.

Second stall, behind the toilet.

Thank you.

I didn't even know what it was.

- That's fine too.
- Daddy.

Daddy.

Wh... What the fuck?

We told you to count to a
thousand and wait outside.

Is that my kid?

End it.

Daddy.

We good here?

We're good.

So, should we...

We should probably
call our cars.

Yeah.

Oh, wow.

That's June.

Hey, this is tonight.
Like, right now.

Should... Should we
go to this, maybe?

What is it?

Well, it's this band. I...
I kind of know one of them.

If it's lame, we'll leave.

You mean if it isn't
as cool as we are.

Exactly.

I am feeling very old right now.

No, you totally fit in.
Don't worry about it.

Hi. Two beers, please.

Hello.

Thank you.

Hi. Who's doing sound in this
alleyway tonight? It's terrible.

All right, let's
get this over with.

Summer rain As I work these days

I feel a callus on my heart
'Cause every day's the same.

Broken heart, broken spirit.

Skylark's fires smash a window…

No filming, you fuck.

Sure, thank you.

You can make this all come true Build
a sky in my eye that perfect blue

I hate you, Lumon You
took my first love.

Fuck you, Lumon,
it's never enough.

You think that you can fight me
You are wrong to even try me.

Fuck you, Lumon!

I hate you, Lumon!

Fuck you, Lumon!

Fuck you, Lumon You
took my first love

I hate you, Lumon
It's never enough.

Fuck you, Lumon.

I hate you, Lumon!

Fuck you, Lumon!

I hate you, Lumon!

What's happening?
This is depraved.

Hi.

Hey, I'm…

- The guy from work.
- Yeah.

How are you holding up?

Sorry. This is my friend, Alexa.

This is June.

- Hey. You guys are really good.
- Yeah.

Are we? I'm pretty sure we suck.

Well, that last song was great.

- Write what you know, right?
- Yeah.

Your dad would've
really liked it, I bet.

- Really?
- Yeah.

How the fuck would
you even know that?

Hey, fuck you, man.

I think we're gonna take off.

Yeah.

So…

She's the daughter of
someone I worked with.

He died.

And it's... It's been
difficult to piece toge...

Harmony.

Did you find her?

I got a tip from a campus
cop at Ganz College.

She... What the fuck
are you wearing?

I was doing some
private research.

What's that a euphemism for?

Doug, I've had a day.

And I'm still
trying to figure out

what part of this conversation
couldn't have happened on the phone.

Someone's holed up in one
of Ganz's old lab buildings.

The dean's told security
to look the other way.

Probably is Reghabi.

It is her.

Wanna come with me and find out?

No, I do not.

Let me know when you have her.

Oh, maintenance is
installing tonight.

I think it's a good call.

So, you're like a
nurse or something?

Hello?

Who is this?

A friend of Petey's.

Hello? Are... Are you there?

Is this Mark Scout?

What did he tell
you before he died?

Nothing.

I just...

I-I-I... I wanna...

I wanna understand.

Can you meet me now?

Are you alone?

Yeah, it's just me.

I used to teach at this school.

I know.

Who are you?

Come with me.
