Speaker 1 (00:01):
Hey their Refiner, Welcome to Severed, the Ultimate Severance Podcast.
This is your host, Allan S. I'm afraid my Audi
had to call in sick today. We're experiencing about of
COVID here in the s household. I have not been
able to concentrate on scripts, research or production for the
past ten days or so. As of today, I am
starting to feel a bit better and hoping to get

(00:22):
back to podcast preparation later this week. I'm hoping to
have the next rewatch installment to you before Thanksgiving, but
we may not be able to finish up the entire
finale before then. Stay tuned, stay subscribed, and you stay healthy.
Today you'll have to enjoy a rerun covering the first
part of episode two of season two. Goodbye, missus Selvig.

Speaker 2 (00:47):
Severed the Ultimate Severance Podcast.

Speaker 1 (00:58):
Hey the Refiner, I got to tell you I am
really psyched about being back on the Severed floor. It's
Severed Season two rewatch time. A stern warning you absolutely
must have seen all ten of the season two episodes
of Severance before listening to any episode of this podcast.
I'm serious. This thing is built on a foundation of spoilers.

(01:19):
This is Severed the Ultimate Severance podcast I'm your host,
Alan as glad to have you back from more deep
dives into Season two of Severance. Episode two, Goodbye missus
Selvig was originally released on January twenty third of twenty
twenty five. It was written by Mohammad L. Masri and
Dan Erickson. Mazri has seven credits as a writer, with

(01:40):
a couple of those being multiple episodes of TV. He
also has three director and nine producer credits on his
IMDb profile. This episode was directed by Samuel Donovan. Donovan
is a British film and television director. He has eighteen
director credits dating back to two thousand and seven. Donovan
has a lot of high profile episode TV on his resume,

(02:01):
including episodes of The Crown, Three Pines and Jamestown. Grab
a cup of coffee and settle in refiner. It's time
to open the file called Goodbye missus Selvig. So do
you need that audio montage from the season one finale
One more time? You've got it this time when Mark
shouts we Zali behind his head. We are in the

(02:26):
nineteen forty nine beer house in Pleasantville, New Yorkshire, Sonia
Neighborhood beer House portrays the Hales incredible home. Patten, Thune
and Ricken look around like it's Mark who's the crazy one? Remember, Patten,
he's mister World War one before there was a World
War Two. We're at Rickens reading from the Night of
the OTC. This is the scene I thought we'd be

(02:48):
seeing at the start of the last episode. Any Mark
has been present at beer house for thirty nine minutes.
It was enough time for Mark to reveal himself to
Miss Cobell, fawn over his literary hero Rick Hale, and
tell a pretty complete version of his inny story to
his sister Devon. After an awkward moment of silence, Rickens
says Devon is holding the recently found baby Eleanor. She

(03:12):
hands the baby off to Ricken so she can give
Mark a hug. Devin, you remember, was any Mark's contact
with the reading his INNI told her everything. Mark says
he's okay, but Devin's not so sure.

Speaker 2 (03:25):
What name?

Speaker 1 (03:25):
Mark pauses before getting a serious look on his face. Persephone.
This seems like a random name to throw out. It
might be a sibling goof, but it does have severance overtones.
Persephone is a Greek goddess. She was a daughter of
Zeus and Demeter. According to Greek mythology, her uncle Hades
abducts her and carries her off to the underworld. Per

(03:46):
sevene eventually marries Hades and becomes Queen of the Underworld.
Persephone's spirit is tied to spring. It is Persephone who
causes plants and leaves to re emerge into the Audi
world every spring. In summer, she returns to the any
underworld each fall and winter.

Speaker 2 (04:03):
Can you smell that?

Speaker 3 (04:04):
Never?

Speaker 1 (04:06):
Rick And is calling for help with a diaper. Devin
gives Marcus smack on the shoulder and goes to help.
Mark Pause is looking at the framed wedding picture. It's
like a song lyric. He can't quite remember what was
it he was shouting when he switched out At the
Woman Building. The powers that be are in mop up
mode following the disastrous Gala. We get a great establishing

(04:26):
shot looking directly into the Mothership from up high and
out front. The Home Deel building looks incredible. Much of
it has been redressed with CGI, but it does make
for an amazing shot. Dan Erickson has said the second
season would have more of an Empire Strikes Back feel
to it. Spoilers for the Star Wars trilogy. The first

(04:46):
one at the end of episode four A New Hope,
you know, the one that came out in nineteen seventy seven.
The rebels had blown up the dust Star. Episode five,
Empire Strikes Back, is when Lumen I mean the Empire
retaliates again those annoying rebels. The illumin building is definitely
giving off Death Star vibes. We cut to Helena's still

(05:07):
in her gala dress. She's contemplating the evening and running
her hands over her throat. Helena is a person who
prizes being in control. She doesn't raise her voice, but
she commands respect and obedience. The idea her Inny used
her body for another embarrassing and damaging incident has to
be driving her crazy. A large man comes through a

(05:29):
large set of doors. The doors were added to this
space as part of the huge rebuild done by the
production company. Virtually everything you see in this conference room
was constructed specifically for these scenes by the Severan's crew.
The large man is mister Drummond, being played by Icelandic
American actor aliphar Derry Ullivson. Darry was born in Connecticut

(05:49):
in nineteen seventy three. This gave him dual citizenship since
both of his parents are Icelandic. His father was studying
medicine at the time of his birth. Darry and his
family moved back to Iceland when he was four years old.
He's been a resident of Raykovic ever since. I'm a
fan of Derry because we're both big guys. Movie stars
are usually fairly compact. Most aren't any taller than five

(06:11):
eight or five ten. Tom Cruise is five to seven.
The actor Ben Stiller also five seven. Arnold Schwarzenegger was
considered huge when he started acting, and he's six two.
Published reports put Darry somewhere between sixty two and sixty four.
But I'm betting six foot three. I'm six' five and
Probably outweigheddary by forty, pounds SO i can certainly. Identify

(06:32):
i'm always a fan of seeing a larger man on.
Screen Jame egan Follows drummond through the. Door he looks
as creepy and frail as. Ever helena stands. Passively it's
like she knows she has to take her licks for
her earlier. Outburst as an, Any james slowly. Approaches his
brow is. Furrowed he looks furious with a side order of.
Crazy when he's right In helen his, face he practically

(06:56):
spits fetid. Moppet So i'm wondering if if he thinks
he's still addressing her. Any fetid is an adjective meaning
a heavy or offensive. SMELL a dumpster in the sun
would be. Fetid moppet is an old term for a.
Child moppet is somewhat minimizing or. Derogatory it's along the
lines of the modern brat or ankle. Biter both words

(07:18):
date back to the sixteen, hundreds and both were considered
derogatory terms In Old. English fetid and moppet are both
considered obsolete in Modern, english but not Around. Luman helena
absorbs the insult. Passively how do you even respond to
something like? That?

Speaker 4 (07:35):
Father?

Speaker 1 (07:36):
Okay So helena keeps it low. KEY i get the, Feeling.
Daddy jame is in furious mode more often than. Not
she's gotten good at accepting the barbes without letting them bother.
Her that's. It after delivering his, Insult jame looks. Confused
he's wild, eyed maybe realizing this is once again Outie.
Helena jame pushes through the large double doors on his
own this, time and wanders. Off Mister drummond remains behind With.

(08:00):
Elena helena is more than just a pretty face Around.
Luman she's responding to the situation like a field. General
she casually Tells drummond to find someone from the severed
floor to liaise with the. AUDIES i need to find
out who they talk. To, Promptly oh, YEAH i THINK
i forgot to Mention darry also has an amazing. Voice

(08:20):
so just who might he find from the severed floor
to handle these audi? INTERVIEWS i think there's only one.
Option Seth miltchik is the only member of management left
on the severed, floor at least the only one we know.
About we don't know Mister drummond's job, specifically but he's
definitely involved with. Security ollison has said in interviews he

(08:41):
Believes drummond is the kind of guy, who throughout history
has always facilitated tyranny by enforcing the desires of. Tyrants
down in the, atrium we cut To Audi dylan on
his way home from. Work he has to be. Confused
he's holding an ice pack on the top of his
head as he trudges out up the. Stairs i'm betting
he's got a lot of muscle soreness through the. Shoulders

(09:04):
he may also be holding up his pants since his
belt was. Cut Watches dylan crosses in the. Atrium as
he's moving frame. Left there's a large right on floor
polisher moving right in the background is a counter to.
Him according To Mosha gross From Reset, locations this floor
polisher was completely wrapped with lumen badging for this. Shot
the guy writing it is the actual operator for The bellworks.

(09:27):
Location he's the one who really operates that thing every.
Night he was hired by the production for this shot
because it was easier to go with the guy who's
trained to run the machine than to find an actor
who knows how to operate a floor. Polisher you might
still be able to see this. Polisher they thought the
badging wrap was so. Cool The bellworks maintenance people left
it on the machine after the. Shoot Audi dillen doesn't

(09:50):
have a clue about AN otc or a black key
card or the security. Office he's probably wondering what the
heck happened at his waffle. Party lights are being shut
off throughout the building As dylan passes by the huge
relief sculpture of Cure up on one of the. Balconies
we can see Mister. Miltchik he's watching As Oudi dylan
leaves The lumen. Campus helena can be heard in Voiceover

(10:11):
before the. Cut we can see her talking To seth
on one of the large.

Speaker 2 (10:15):
CATWALKS i need you to go see all of.

Speaker 1 (10:17):
Them, surprise, Surprise seth is the someone from the severed
floor who gets to liaise with the.

Speaker 2 (10:23):
AUDIES id not everywhere they said a New they said
it too.

Speaker 1 (10:26):
With grain or, Dead bert retired And kobel. Fired i'm
not sure who else they'd have. Gotten how big an
infraction was THE otc well sess ready to kill.

Speaker 5 (10:35):
Some ani's and SHALL i fire?

Speaker 1 (10:37):
THEM i Figured helena would want them, killed but she's surprisingly.
Noncommittal care goide your. Hand so it's up To seth
Or keirr as to whether or not these disobedient macrodaths
are allowed back down on the severed. Floor of, Course
helena heads one, Way seth goes the. Other he has his.
Assignment time to get to. Work we stay With helena
as she's walking along one of the glass lined. CATWALKS

(10:59):
a great follow shot from outside looking through the lighted.
Panels Mosha grows From Reset locations told me this shot
was accomplished using a drone shooting from outside the. Building
helly's actually walking from a space they Call building three
Into building. Two in order to see clearly through the,
windows A uv coating had to be. Removed this coating

(11:21):
had been on the windows for more than sixty. Years
it was designed to reduce heat in the. Halls once
this coating was, removed the hallways and conference room got
very hot during the. Day anytime you See helena in
one of these walking, shots she is on the fifth
level of The belwarks. Building take note Of helena's. Walk
this is how a woman who is comfortable on high

(11:41):
heels walks. Quickly this bears no resemblance to the Way
helly r walks when she's in. Heels helena makes her
way back to the conference room Where drummond is. Waiting
he gets the door for. Her she doesn't even break.
Stride someone is sitting at a reception desk in a
foyer outside the conference. Room that's a dedicated employee still
working the desk at what has to be after ten

(12:02):
pm on A friday. Night the music builds to a.
Crescendo As harmony Kobel is revealed she's standing at the
far end of an immense conference. Table there are twelve
seats to a. Side this thing is. Huge where do
you go to purchase a table like? This they don't
have them at your local furniture row Or. ASHLEY i guarantee.

(12:22):
It this is a resin, table custom made by furniture
Designer Quincy. Ellis ellis is A philadelphia native who co
founded The Facture Art furniture studio In brooklyn in twenty.
Fifteen facture specializes in nothing but custom resin. DESIGNS i
couldn't find any published, prices but my guess is they ain't.
Cheap AS i look more closely at this, SEASON i

(12:45):
can see how they were spending twenty million an. Episode
i'm not, complaining BUT i can definitely see. It those
twenty four chairs are also outstanding examples of modern, design
according To David. Schlessinger this is The apple honey, chair
created by Japan he's Designer Shiro kiramata in nineteen eighty.
Five it was originally designed at the request of architect

(13:06):
Today O ando for use in A kyoto. Cafe they
couldn't find enough of The Apple honey chairs to completely
surround the. Table according To Mosha grosse From Reset, locations
who represents The bellworks location for, filming a few of
those chairs had to be fabricated by the production. Company
mosha also gave me some great detail about the. Boardroom

(13:27):
he said the entire boardroom was created by The severance production.
Team the space was already. There it had been added
to the building as part of A Bell labs loosen
addition started in nineteen. Eighty it didn't look anything like
the final they. Created this area was selected By severance
as a shooting spot because it's the only place in
the building where you can build right up to the.

(13:48):
Windows everywhere else there are walkways or struts between the
windows and work. Areas everything in the conference, room the,
floor the, ceiling the shiny back, wall even the bank
of lights over the table was all created by the
production company for this. Shoot. Set construction crews were on
location building in the space for nearly two. Months The
Quincy ella's conference table was brought in in pieces and

(14:10):
assembled in the. Room when it wasn't in, use it
was completely covered with protective. Pads the shooting in this
space took a. Week they left this space intact through the,
strikes just in case they needed to resume shooting. Later
there were a few pickup shots after the strike, break
but primary shooting all happened in seven. Days before we
get into this meeting With, kobel maybe you should take

(14:31):
a moment to wash your hands refiner ten times a,
day according to the. Manual severed will be right, Back.
Hi I'm Adam. SCOTT i play mark s On, severance
which you likely already know since you're listening to sever
The Ultimate Severance. Podcast it's Definitely cobel standing, there but

(14:54):
she's still dressed in her colorful Earth Mother's selvig. Clothing
as a testament to Put arquet's acting, ability these clothes
actually look out of place on Ms, COBEL i love
the flipped power dynamic here above. Ground please, said this
is Not helly r rambunctious Any this Is Helena, egan

(15:16):
daughter OF Ceo Jame egan and de facto head of the.
Company cobel affords her the appropriate respect and has a.
Seat As helena walks the length of the conference, table
she Brings harmony up to speed on the evening's, cleanup
and he footage shut by guests has already been. Commandeered
as she, Says.

Speaker 6 (15:33):
Natalie is already doing outreach to media.

Speaker 1 (15:35):
The severed employees who were. Involved i've been dealt with,
well those employees other than any helly. R helena has
his seat at the end of the table closest To.
Harmony drummond sits in the last seat at the other
end of the. Table he sits, passively face. Forward he
is there in case he's, needed but his body language
tells us he is not a part of this. Conversation

(15:56):
thank you for acting so. Quickly, hey if it hadn't
been For, harmony you guys would have a huge mess
on your hands right.

Speaker 2 (16:01):
Now you saved us from.

Speaker 1 (16:02):
Disaster, yeah she, did and that's the woman you fired earlier.
Today don't you feel?

Speaker 2 (16:07):
Ashamed, oh Mister agan good Joining.

Speaker 1 (16:10):
Well not ashamed enough to offer up THE, Ceo helena, says,
no it will just be her meeting With. Cobel helena
admits she Owes harmony a personal debt of. GRATITUDE i
think she's referencing the suicide attempt on the part of her.
Any it Was cobell who orchestrated the cover up without E,
helena she was able to keep the incident From jamee
and the board for a. While, anyway it costs me

(16:34):
dearly When natalie confronted her with the picture. Proof that's
When cobell was. Fired she was cast, out forced to
walk all the way up from the severed floor carrying her.
Stuff it was. Demoralizing yet even after all of this,
mistreatment she proved her loyalty, tonight.

Speaker 2 (16:51):
Which is WHY i we'd like to ask you.

Speaker 1 (16:53):
Back cobell mulls this. Offer you can see the gears
turning in her. Head returning would be, great but can
she bide this? Treatment ultimately she decides, no she can't
return after having been so rudely cast. Aside an apology.

Speaker 6 (17:10):
Is.

Speaker 1 (17:11):
WARRANTED i, mean come, on she was fired By. Natalie
the fact it Wasn't james or some ranking member of
management as a slap in the. Face we get a
cut in shot here Of. Drummond his hands are folded
and he keeps his eyes, front but you can tell
he might have a few things to say about this.
Backtalk luman is Giving harmony a second. Chance she should

(17:31):
be gracious and, humble not. Demanding helena. Nods the request
for an apology is, brazen but an apology was truly.
EARNED i.

Speaker 2 (17:40):
Apologize, hmmm that was.

Speaker 1 (17:42):
Easy my father, Apologizes. Helena it seems as authorized to
speak for. Everyone the board. Apologizes, Hey, helena while we've
got you, here could you maybe introduce us to the.
Board we're all very. Curious, no, well, okay thanks, anyway.

Speaker 2 (17:57):
We've treated you.

Speaker 1 (17:58):
Poorly this is kind of the default setting For lumen
when it comes to the severed. Floor i'm, Sorry cobell
breathes this. In it's not enough to just say apology.
Accepted not Around. LUMEN i welcome your. Contrition helena's. Smiles
she's glad to hear. It now That cobell has made
The egans, heel she's ready to clean up their.

Speaker 5 (18:19):
Mess there's much damage to, control she.

Speaker 1 (18:22):
Says they need to scour the. FEED i think this
is where they're going to find the audio they used
for the. Animation cobell says she needs to Interview dylan
G she wants to find out how he got into
the security. Office As harmony is launching into her damage control,
Plans helena cuts her.

Speaker 2 (18:39):
Off we have something else in.

Speaker 1 (18:41):
Mind it's, slight but Checked Patricia arquette's. Reaction, here you
can see the suspicion creep into her. Eyes helena is
the ice, queen the quiet, negotiator the smiling bearer of bad.
News i'd like to offer your. Promotion there's almost panic
In cobel's. Eyes this is not what she.

Speaker 2 (19:00):
Wanted whatever it Is seference Advisory, Council.

Speaker 1 (19:03):
Helena says it with almost a, wink like it's what
all the cool kids are doing this. Summer harmony sits.

Speaker 2 (19:09):
BACK i never heard of such a.

Speaker 1 (19:12):
Thing Because helena had just made it up this. EVENING
i think they can't Leave harmony out running around in
the wild with her knowledge of the severed, floor but
they also can't put her back down on the severed.
Floor the, uh what was it, Again.

Speaker 2 (19:26):
Helena seferen's advisory.

Speaker 1 (19:28):
Council that's. It the sack is a purgatory Where harmony
can be controlled By. Luman cobel's. Suspicious she's been Around
lumen long enough to know how things.

Speaker 2 (19:39):
WORK i never heard of such a.

Speaker 1 (19:41):
Thing there's a reason for.

Speaker 2 (19:43):
That it's a brand new. Initiative you'd be spearheading its.

Speaker 1 (19:46):
Formation drummond continues to sit quietly at the far end
of the, table hands. Folded did you check the large
square of green carpeting under the conference? Table in the first,
Season Jeremy hndel told us green was the color of severed.
Space perhaps we're looking at severed board. Members So harmony
will be in charge of the make work, sack but

(20:06):
she won't be allowed down on the severed. Floor this
does seem like a waste of talent and.

Speaker 2 (20:11):
Expertise your expertise is greatly.

Speaker 1 (20:13):
Valued you sure about. That if that were the, case
she'd be Using harmony where she's proven to be most,
effective which.

Speaker 5 (20:20):
Is WHY.

Speaker 3 (20:22):
I should be running the severed.

Speaker 1 (20:25):
Floor, Sorry, harmony but the rains have been, passed Mister Seth.
Miltchik helena tells her he's the New severed floor. Manager
speaking Mister, miltchik we get a cut in Of, seth
decked in riding. Leathers he's heading to visit with the
audies in the conference. Room harmony's voice has taken on
a sharp. Edge you don't value, Me, no they. Don't
they just want to control. You and why is?

Speaker 5 (20:47):
That you hear?

Speaker 1 (20:48):
Me this sounds like an idle Boast at this, point
we don't know exactly Why luman would truly have reason
to fear. Harmony after it's revealed In Sweet vitriol that
she is the true and enter of The Severance, chip
her ability to instill fear becomes more. Obvious if you're,
thinking hold, on didn't they say them in a, Promo,

(21:08):
yeah she. Did in the full season two trailer From
december of twenty twenty, Four harmony Says. Git the promo
implied she was talking about The. Macrodads helena's response is
the same both. Places not sure why they changed. It
Fearing cobel is also pretty. Legit another cut, In seth

(21:30):
fires up his bike and puts on his. Helmet helena
is pretty confident About luman's position Regarding. Harmony you fear no,
one well other than Four macrodats who almost blew the
lid off your severance. Operation there's a quick shot Of
Mark geller as kre On seth's license. Plate how could
you possibly Make Tremmel tillman any? Cooler put him on a,

(21:50):
motorcycle not just any motorcycle, Either Ben stiller, said this
is a Modified Royal. Enfield enfield is A british company
known for their production of motor, cycles guns and. Bicycles
the First Royal enfield motorcycle was produced in nineteen oh.
One The Royal Infield bullet is the longest lasting motorcycle

(22:10):
design in. History the bullet was first introduced in nineteen
thirty one and is still made, today more than ninety years.
Later seth puts The enfield in gear and roars off
into the. Night he's headed to question The oudies in
the conference. Room helena is still trying to close the
sale with harmony regarding the.

Speaker 6 (22:29):
Sack and IF i didn't want you in such high,
esteem we wouldn't be making this generous offer.

Speaker 1 (22:35):
For someone who doesn't. Smoke she sure blows a lot of.
It harmony is. Passive she's staring off into the. Distance
when she, answers, oh put some thought to? It she
could not sound less. Enthused luman's motives for hiring her
into this created job have nothing to do with the
steam drawing from seven habits for highly effective, People helena

(22:56):
stand she's indicating the meeting is. Over. Drummond it also
stands he knows he's got an. Assignment thank you.

Speaker 2 (23:03):
For coming in, harmony Mister, drummond will see you.

Speaker 1 (23:06):
Out there are some great cuts back and forth between
the motorcycle And. Harmony both are. Leaving she's not all
that excited about spearheading the Sac she says she'll give
it some. Thought drummond is supposed to show her. Out
don't miss a great little power move. Here When harmony
starts to walk, out Watch helena's right hand from the

(23:29):
length of the. Room she's Giving drummond a sign to

for nineteen. Years musicologists believe the music For barber Of
seville was composed in under three. Weeks The barber Of
seville has made its way to film several. Times most
recently and possibly WHAT irv was claiming to, Watch there
was a twenty NINETEEN tv movie Starring Pavel travinsky and

(26:48):
Jose fardilla for my, money You can't Miss with the
nineteen forty Four Woody woodpeckers, Short it hits The barber
Of seville high points in seven. Minutes seth asks IF
rv is feeling well, WELL irv, extrapolates this must mean
his any did. Something His audi's gonna pay.

Speaker 5 (27:05):
For oh, god what DID i eat in?

Speaker 1 (27:08):
That sounds like this may have happened. BEFORE sas, says
it's nothing like. That they just need to know if
anything of note occurred this, evening anything at. All irv's
been with the organization long enough to know when he's being.
Snowed why don't you tell me what's going? On Mister.
Milcher let's cut through the guey formalities and get down
to real. Concerns we cut back To. Hell he's still

(27:29):
going strong on her. Apology of, course she can't just
say she's. Sorry she has to remind us how enormous
and Powerful lumen really.

Speaker 6 (27:37):
Is but in the hours since this, Outburst i've been
reminded just how seriously my family's company affects the lives
of real people around the.

Speaker 1 (27:45):
World back at irv's, Doors seth is trying to Garner
Oudy herb's.

Speaker 5 (27:49):
Trust you know you're any as a friend of.

Speaker 1 (27:51):
Mine seth is sure ANY irv would approve of this, statement.

Speaker 5 (27:55):
And he's a man of, principle which is.

Speaker 1 (27:57):
Rare sas, says all of these things are what make
this visit so. Difficult out OF herv can see where
this is. Going you're firing, me, yes he. Is, unfortunately
we'll return to Mister miltchik's firing tour in just a.
Moment hit the vending Machine. Refiner severed will be right.

Speaker 4 (28:15):
Back this Is mark geller Kier egan On. Severance WHEN
i want to hear the latest details about the COMPANY i,
FOUNDED i listened To severed the Ultimate severance.

Speaker 1 (28:29):
Podcast, Wow helena is still going on that. Apology we get,
it you were drinking while using a knockoff rash. Cream
could happen to, Anyone but she's past all. That she's
off on a tangent talking about the incredible Dedication luhman
has for their cherished, workers one of which is being
fired right at this.

Speaker 6 (28:50):
Moment When luman, falters it's our cherished workers and their
families who suffer.

Speaker 1 (28:55):
FIRST i don't know if a few drunken statements at
an invitation only gala institutes, faltering she may be making
this a bigger deal than it.

Speaker 6 (29:04):
Is so for the fear and insecurity this has, CAUSED
i must sincerely.

Speaker 1 (29:08):
Atone it just happened a couple of hours. AGO i
don't know how much fear and insecurity could have occurred since.
Earlier this, evening we get a great look at sess
license plate as he's heading through a. Tunnel IT'S lfs
one five. NINE lfs has been identified as the abbreviation
live for. Speed one five nine is an angel, number

(29:30):
and a rather interesting one when applied To Seth. Miltchik
regularly seeing one five to nine in your life indicates
a spiritual message of progress and personal. Growth your angels
are telling you you have the courage and strength to
pursue your dreams and embrace. Change like down on the severed.
Floor Maybe seth has arrived At dylan's. Place he's not

(29:50):
as chummy With dylan as he was WITH. IRV i
think the battle at the security office may still be
fresh in his.

Speaker 5 (29:56):
Mind you were involved in a physical altercation with another
in fl this.

Speaker 1 (30:00):
Evening dylan looks, Shocked ice pack a. Side this is
news to.

Speaker 5 (30:04):
Him it was brief but, violent AND i regret to
say that you were the.

Speaker 1 (30:08):
Aggressor seth knows since he was the other. Employee dylan
is weakly saying, wait As seth tells him they must
terminate his, employment effective. Immediately helly continues her epic. Apology
it has strayed well away from The.

Speaker 6 (30:23):
Galla distrust Of lumen has been sadly endemic since its, founding.

Speaker 1 (30:27):
Which raises the question have they been as creepy and
cultish the entire time they've been? Around if, SO i
can see how regular folk might distrust an, enormous wealthy
and powerful cult Like. Luman helena claims her words may
have added to this. Hatred this seems. PREMATURE i don't
think anyone is even aware of what happened. Yet we

(30:48):
need a news cycle before any of this stuff comes to.
Light we cut back and forth Between seth's meetings WITH
irv And. DYLAN irv is arguing his, case.

Speaker 5 (30:57):
You can't just do.

Speaker 1 (30:59):
That what he wants to know if he broke. Something
if he, did he'll. Pay there's no need for something
as drastic as. Termination there's a quick cut back To helena's.

Speaker 6 (31:08):
WHEN i Said miami was being.

Speaker 1 (31:09):
TORTURED i was wondering why she'd even bring that. Up
don't remind. Them then we cut To Audi. Dylan dylan
is one half of the bread winning team at The George.
House he needs this. Job this is. BRUTAL irv And
dylan are both getting fired late on A friday night
for something they have no memory of. Doing helena assures

(31:30):
us none of the torture's stuff was.

Speaker 2 (31:32):
True this was a joke and a.

Speaker 1 (31:35):
Lie, again why even bring it. Up seth is apologizing
to Both Audi dylan And AUDY. Irv he doesn't change his,
mind but he is. SORRY i love the Huge dan
angle shot we get Of dylan's cul De. Sac the
central boulevard is covered with. Snow oriented as it, is
it looks like the marker used on maps to indicate your.
Location if you were to turn this shape, over it's

(31:57):
a perfect lumen water. Drop we don't Know, dylandress But
i'm guessing it is Also lumen company. Housing we do
Know dylan's real life. Address the exterior used for The
george home is located in The King's Landing condominiums In,
Middletown New. Jersey in order to get the overhead, shot
the production had to rearrange some of the trees in the.

(32:17):
Neighborhood no word as to whether This King's landing was
inspired By game Of thrones or if the name is
just a. Coincidence helena finally brings her message. Home she
claims she's only, human.

Speaker 6 (32:29):
Just Like manny.

Speaker 4 (32:32):
And just like.

Speaker 1 (32:33):
You aw the uber Rich heiress is just like. Me
helena punches the stop button and drops the phony. Smile
there's a hold on her screen image that ends this
huge twelve minute cold. Open we dissolved to an all
new opening animation from The Emmy award winning opening Animation
Dude Mister Oliver latta Aka Extra Egg Ben stiller said

(32:54):
this new opening, animation unlike season, one actually contains Some
easter eggs and hints at what was to come in the.
Season we're going to break it down this first. Time
it's pretty amazing and has a good shot at winning Another.
Emmy we open On mark's audi and his baggy red.
Pajamas he's sitting on the edge of his, bed Blue
Mdr key card around his. Neck we cut to an

(33:16):
elevator door in the same room As mark's. Bed the
up arrow is red until the car, arrives then it turns.
Green when the door is. OPEN A mark head balloon floats.
Out this is a more complete head than the ones
we see Mister miltchik bring On mark's first day. Back
instead of a, string this balloon has a necktie hanging below.

(33:36):
It the head emerges from the elevator. Doors it might
be Symbolizing mark's consciousness escaping from the severed. Floor cut To, Audie,
mark still in, pj's walking down and open the. Staircase
he's going into his own. Brain several head balloons with
necktie tails are floating around in the space at the
bottom of the. Stairs mark is walking between lobes of

(33:59):
his own. Brain they are lumin, green the color of.
Severance mark's on a reflective, surface with more brain folds visible.
Below on the other side of the, surface we can
see Both helly and Ms. Casey they form out of
the same spot or run off in different. Directions this
looks like a representation of the odd love. Triangle mark

(34:20):
finds himself. In it's playing out on the other side
of his, brain where he may not be fully aware
of it as An. Audie in the next, cut we
see Tiny Oudi mark standing on a Sleeping mark's. Chin Any,
mark in his dress shirt and slacks is also. Tiny
he's standing on Sleeping mark's. Blanket he's looking across a
pretty good gap At Audie. Mark Suddenly Audi mark jumps

(34:43):
the gap and is standing with Any. Mark could these
two somehow work? Together, yeah we will see them talking
to each other in the. Finale even though things get
a bit, testy they also wind up working together to
Get gemma up from the testing floor and off the severed.
Floor Sleeping marks awakens when he sees his iny And
outy on the. Blanket he grabs them. Both there are

(35:04):
weird faceless babies wearing suits all Over mark's. Bed when
the camera pulls, out twenty five of these weird faceless
babies are. Revealed they are On mark's bed and scattered
around the floor of his. Bedroom these babies probably represent
the twenty five Rooms mark has spawned down on the testing.
Floor pulling, out we Reveal Mark severan's chip WITH Outi

(35:27):
mark trapped inside. It the chip is being extracted with
surgical tweezers From mark's green brain. Folds we never see
a chip get, extracted at least not in season, two
and never from anyone who is. Alive the only chip
extraction we've ever seen Was, pete's and he was long past.
Caring this extraction might Symbolize riggabby's reintegration. Attempts once the

(35:53):
chip comes through To mark's, scalp it's no longer his.
Chip it Becomes Audi mark and he is pulled through the.
Incision Any, Mark it's like the chip has been replaced
by innies And outi's working. Together Any mark can't hold
on and he falls into one of the irvhead coffee
mugs we saw at Any herb's. Funeral it's sitting on

(36:13):
a desk next to one of The mdr. Workstations after
Any mark disappears into the, cup a bunch of what
looked like paper clips come bubbling up over the. Edge
upon closer, inspection those are actually. Trombones it is here
WHERE i learned one of the coolest Things i've heard
in a long. Time i'm sixty years old and proud
to SAY i can still be amazed by new. Things

(36:34):
The french word for paper clip is. Trombone they call
them that because the large bend in a paper clip
looks a lot like the bend on the slide of a.
TROMBONE a cupful of actual musical trombones is foreshadowing the
finale performance by a marching. Band Extra wegg has said
those are, euphoniums at least some of them. ARE a

(36:56):
euphonium is a brass instrument with a mellower sound than a.
Trombone The french paper clip joke doesn't work if they aren't,
trombones So i'm calling them. Trombones Any mark had been
sitting at the. Workstation now he, stands turns and leaps
from whatever ledge he was. On he lands in the
mark open head graphic like what we saw in season,

(37:18):
one only this graphic looks, rough. Rudimentary the head then.
Morphs it looks like the head of a, goat as
it may have been rendered BY irv in one of
his very textured. Paintings this goat keeps morphing as we pull.
Back Any mark is now standing there looking at the
morphing goat on a large. Screen this screen is being

(37:38):
carried through a snowscape by two faceless moving. Men the
camera swirls Around Oudy mark when he accidentally backs into
one of his. Innies the innie's head quickly blows up
like a. Balloon other inny marks are scattered around on ice,
sheets much like the ones we'll see At salt's. Neck
speaking Of salt's, neck That's kobel's WHITE vw rabbit half

(37:59):
submert urged in the ice water to frame. Right this
image raised a lot of questions With severn's conspiracy. Theorists
was this image supposed to Indicate jemma's car? Accident Was
kobel going to suffer a similar. Accident luman is no
stranger to fatal car. Accidents none of those things happened
during the. Season Since cobel took this car To salt's,

(38:20):
neck but returned to kir in The Jeep comanche pickup.
Truck this is possibly indicating the car being left abandoned
In Salt's. Neck the anybody under the balloon closest To
Audi mark disappears as the balloon is floating. Up Audie
mark grabs the tie and floats up with. It the
balloon appears to go through a hole In Audi mark's kitchen.

(38:42):
Table it causes his real head to blow up like a.
Balloon sitting on the kitchen table next To mark's balloon
head is a small bottle of. Goo this is representing
the Stuff foreregabi Makes mark drink during. Reintegration we don't
know what it, is but it looks. Nasty he downs
a bottle of it the morning after his first reintegration.
Session Audie, mark still in his hanging RED, pjs backs

(39:06):
away from the. Table Any mark is able to raise the,
curtain which looks like the severed. Elevator he Carries Audie
mark under the curtain and into the goat. Room the
greenery quickly populates the. Landscape do not miss this crazy ass.
Field when we do a big rotational, pan it reveals
a mirrored field across a small ravine where everything is.

(39:30):
Reversed on this, side Any mark is Carrying Audie. Mark
across the, Way Audie mark is carrying Any mark on this.
Side two items scatter the. Landscape the first our Giant gemma.
Heads you can tell because of the black. Hair the
other thing we can see are crawling headless any. MARKS
i think somebody needs to check in On Oliver lata

(39:52):
every now and, then just to make sure he's. Okay
across the, way we've got Headless Audi marx crawling around
and giant hell heads laying in the. Field Oliver, buddy,
seriously maybe get out for an evening now and. Then
looking down on this scene is a Faceless. Cobell as
she looks up at the, camera we realized the field
full of headless marks and Giant gemma and helly heads

(40:14):
is actually in a Book cobell is. Holding this indicates
she has a huge level of control over these. People
we didn't see it so much in season, two but
this might be setting the stage for a more authoritarian
performance From cobell during season. Three here's a random aside
from my. Childhood cobell's facelessness reminded me of something very

(40:36):
specific my brother AND i were Huge Steve austin. Fans
we tuned In the Six Million Dollar man Every friday.
Night there was a villain in The Steve austin series Called.
Maskatron When steve would get a, good solid right hook
in On, maskatron whatever face he was wearing would fly,
off revealing something a lot Like cobell's. Head i'm not

(40:56):
Saying cobell is a, robot but it's definitely a weird.
Image looking into her. Face there's a. Hallway at the
end of it Is Audi mark with his. Flashlight the
camera goes right Into cobel's open. FACE a Freaked Audi
mark drops his light and runs out the back Of cobell's.
Head the camera shoots past out he. Marked suddenly we
are in the testing floor, hallway or As felicia calls,

(41:19):
it The exports. Hall we are racing towards the elevator
at the. End as we mirar the, Elevator jemma becomes
visible standing, there but then It's Helly. Nope then it
cuts back To. Jemma the two images flicker back and
forth until we hit the end of the hall and cut.
Away it has been noted the last image we see
before leaving the elevator is Helly. R since we Know

(41:40):
mark s chooses Helly r at the end of the,
season this feels like another one of Those easter Eggs
Ben stiller. Mentioned after the elevator, cut we're back In mark's,
bed coming around the. Corner just like in the opening,
Shot mark's bloated balloon head. Deflates there's snow in the,
air and something is crawling At mark's. Feet if you look,
closely you can see this is a Baby. Kere Mark

(42:02):
geller confirmed this one for. Us this thing's got the
fully bearded head Of, kir but the body of a. Baby,
sure the baby's wearing a, suit but it's still a baby.
Crawling Baby keir looks up At mark and a pile
of snow falls off the back of his. Head don't
miss the great flump sound when the snow. Hits we
cut to an angle Behind Audi. Mark he's still seated

(42:23):
on the. Bed as we zoom in on the back
Of Audi mark's, head we get the weirdest image so
far out of this very weird animation. Sequence two hands
pull apart and opening in the back Of Audi mark's.
Scalp it's like his head has a zipper running down
the back inside his, head peering out through the vertical
slit in the, scalp is any mark he wants? Out

(42:46):
cut to, black and the end of the theme. Music,
well that was more drama THAN i. Planned we hear
these words in, black but it's pretty easy to identify
By rickon's sonorous. Tones we come up on a wide
shot of The hale's front. Door rickon is saying good
night To. Rebecc he'll let her know when the reading is.

(43:08):
Rescheduled she has an odd. Concern don't punish the, Baby.

Speaker 2 (43:13):
Reckon this wasn't its, fault of.

Speaker 1 (43:15):
Course, well, no of course it, Wasn't and what a
weird thing to. Say Dan erickson scuttled a fan theory
About rebec in an. Interview he, said the marks on
the back of her head are truly from her. Bird
she has a, bird and it pecks at her. Neck
those are not scars from the severance, procedure although he
then said she may be, severed but those marks are

(43:36):
from her. Bird oh and, yes The hale's new baby's
middle name Is rebecca in honor of this odd. Woman Good, Night.
Rebecca mark And devon are in the beer house, kitchen
discussing the evening's. Events check How mark is contained by the.
Pillars in the establishing, shot he's boxed in. Trapped devon
is saying she's not the only one who heard him say,

(43:57):
it meaning the screamed she's. Alive ricken thunders into the,
room oblivious to their. Discussion we can reschedule the reading
to next.

Speaker 2 (44:05):
Month it's.

Speaker 1 (44:06):
Fine his big concern should he restart with chapter one
or continue from where he left. Off mark Asked, devon.

Speaker 2 (44:13):
So what so you said she's.

Speaker 1 (44:15):
Alive mark shuts her, down But devon says she's just
trying to. Help, ricken of, course has to interject IF i.

Speaker 4 (44:21):
MAY i really did feel it was clear that you
were referencing the, baby which.

Speaker 1 (44:24):
Is What mark wants to. Believe i've always thought the
person most resistant to the idea Of jemma being alive
would Be Outie. Mark he's invested far too much time
and energy into grieving her. Loss ricken is talking through
the events that led up to. It he Mentions patten
saving eleanor he found her. In ricken then uses a

(44:44):
term we heard in season, one.

Speaker 5 (44:46):
AND i think that Your workie was excited.

Speaker 1 (44:48):
The guy on the news USED workI he was being
buried By natalie in a. Debate she sneered AT workI, well, FIRST.

Speaker 3 (44:55):
I suggest to reveal her.

Speaker 7 (44:57):
Identity if she wants to have an honest conversation about her.

Speaker 6 (44:59):
House she have that conversation when HER workI was the
work working be AS i understand is the preferred.

Speaker 3 (45:06):
TERM i think it's exactly the condescending grivage That i'd
expect from a group trying to save people from their own.

Speaker 1 (45:12):
Choices it may be a term that's out, there but
it's not considered proper or. Current mark is once again
isolated in the pillar box while talking To. Ricken don't
miss an awesome bit of cook wear right in front
Of mark in this. Shot it's the orange pot with matching.
Lid this is a mid century Dancek cobin's style enamel
pot with a walnut. Handle it was designed for dance

(45:34):
By Yen's. Quisteguard we'll see another one of these vintage
pots in Burton field's, kitchen only that one will be.
Yellow since Any mark was such a fan Of rickens's,
Work ricken is also a fan of Any.

Speaker 5 (45:46):
MARK i have to, Say, mark he really is a.

Speaker 1 (45:48):
Jewel mark wants to clarify what.

Speaker 2 (45:51):
Happened OBVIOUSLY i was referencing the.

Speaker 1 (45:53):
Baby ricken throws him a confident, Yeah devin isn't so.
Supportive Gen tullick does this great compressed lip thing When
devn's displeased about. Something it's subtle but so. Effective mark
pushes for. Clarification, Okay devon snaps Ot. Air, yes she
fumbles trying to agree with.

Speaker 5 (46:12):
Him, no, YEAH i think is.

Speaker 1 (46:14):
Right she doesn't, really but she wants out of this brewing.
Argument so Let's ockham's.

Speaker 5 (46:19):
Razor this.

Speaker 1 (46:19):
Shit ockham's razor is a philosophical problem solving. Principle it
says to search for answers with the smallest possible set of.
Elements in other, words find the simplest, answer and that's
probably the right. One it's attributed to fourteenth Century english
philosopher and Theologian william Of. Okham the horses Not zebra's
equation is a perfect. Example it's an OLD us cowboy

(46:43):
analogy based On okham's. Razor it, says if you hear hoof,
beats they're probably, horses not. Zebras it's true a herd
of zebras would make the same, noise but finding a
herd of zebras in The United States west is almost.
Impossible Devon's Ockham's razor slices through searching For. Eleanor he
finds a picture that's of. Interest he picks it.

Speaker 7 (47:04):
Up and then When patton Found eleanor still hey, whatever,
yes you still had it.

Speaker 1 (47:08):
With, You mark sits wedding picture in. Hand he. Agrees devin.
Relents she says it's the only thing that makes. Sense
mark moves on to his next.

Speaker 5 (47:17):
Question And eleanor was in the study because.

Speaker 1 (47:20):
Because that's where Missus selvig left her.

Speaker 5 (47:22):
Cobell what?

Speaker 1 (47:23):
Fuck ricken then offers up a, suggestion.

Speaker 5 (47:25):
Perhaps Coe belvig would be a helpful. NOMENCLATURE i like.

Speaker 1 (47:29):
It devin seems to be backtracking on her support for
The okham's razor, explanation.

Speaker 5 (47:33):
And assuming that she's a lie really was about the?

Speaker 1 (47:36):
Baby mark stops. Her she doesn't think it.

Speaker 5 (47:39):
WAS i do think it, Was then why are you
saying it like?

Speaker 1 (47:41):
That because she doesn't think it, was get a, Clue,
Mark devin tries to shake it.

Speaker 5 (47:46):
Off, exhausted there's been a weird fucking.

Speaker 1 (47:47):
Night. Mark mark can't believe his own sister is buying
into this ludicrous idea that his long dead wife might
not be. Dead, surprisingly It's ricken who steps in as
the voice of. Reason he tells them to stick with
what we know to be.

Speaker 7 (48:01):
True MARK'S workI went to great lengths to awaken, himself
to alert us to.

Speaker 1 (48:06):
ABUSES i have no horse in this, race but worky annoys. Me,
okay so what he said is true and surprisingly. RATIONAL
i couldn't, help but wonder how Is ricken going to
make this About?

Speaker 5 (48:17):
Ricken he was inspired by my.

Speaker 1 (48:19):
Book, ah there it. IS i knew he couldn't go
two whole thoughts without turning the spotlight back on. Him
narcissism is both ugly and.

Speaker 5 (48:27):
Predictable you found great meaning in it.

Speaker 1 (48:29):
Profundity as we know from one Of rickens's other, titles
he's the guy who put the fun in. Profundity there
are incredibly strict rules when it comes to working with
children and especially babies IN tv and movie. Production oftentimes
with an, infant they can only be on set and
under the lights for twenty minutes or less at a,
time with hours off in. Between in order to get

(48:51):
around these, limitations most productions use multiple babies along with
lifelike dolls for shots without the baby's. Face Watch Michael
cherry in this. Scene he's doing a great job supporting
the baby's, head but that baby is not, moving no
arms or, legs, pumping. Nothing he's cuddling a. Doll when
he hands it off To, devon there is a baby sound,

(49:13):
effect but still no baby. Movement As ricken is expounding
on the wonderful Insights mark's work he got from his
book the doorbell, Rings god damn, It ricken carefully hands
the doll To. Devn As ricken is heading to answer the,
door why don't you take a moment to head to
the vending machine. Refiner severed will be right.

Speaker 4 (49:33):
Back, Hello, refiners this is your beloved, Leader Ker. Egan
actually It's Mark, keller who Plays Ker egan On severance
for the latest Don stopping The Mdr. REBELLION i like
to check in With severed The Ultimate severance.

Speaker 1 (49:53):
Podcast mark is not finished with this. Conversation After ricken
leaves the, room he quietly, asked.

Speaker 5 (50:01):
What the fuck are you even?

Speaker 1 (50:02):
Saying she's saying she Thinks gemma is alive and somewhere
in the bowels Of lumen but she can't come right
out with, it or your head'll. Explode their conversation is
cut short by noise from the front. Door it Wasn't,
rebecca As rickenhead.

Speaker 5 (50:14):
Feared Sethan eltcheck From.

Speaker 1 (50:15):
Luhman Mister meltchik has tracked Mister scout to his sister's.
House they do keep close tabs on their severed workers At.
Lumen i'm sure it was Probably harmony who Provided mark's.
Location some folks wondered if cess ability to Locate mark
meant his chip included A gps tracking. DEVICE i don't
think that's the. Case if they did HAVE gps in the,

(50:37):
chips they'd have Found pete when he was hiding out
of the. Greenhouse rayner would also have been able to
Track mark's trip To gan's. College it would make sense
if they, did BUT i don't think current versions of
the chip include. Tracking it's probably on a list of
upgrades somewhere for the next generation of. Chip miltchick asked
If Mark scout is here by. Chance rickin, turns but then.

(50:59):
Hesitates after a, pause he turns, Back yes he. Is
rickens first instinct may have been too lie About mark being.
Here mark gets up and slowly walks In miltchick's. Directions
the Scout seth is all. Smiles he's your friendly lumin,
overlord here to find out what you're, naughty and he
may have done this.

Speaker 5 (51:17):
EVENING i imagine you have a few questions.

Speaker 1 (51:19):
After just randomly losing forty minutes out of the evening
with no. Explanation, uh you could say that this will be.
Fun seth is such a great oudy. Liaison as they're
adjourning to another, Room seth Favors devon with a. Smile
devin is tough, girl. Silent she's doing the compressed lip thing.
Again devin just heard harrowing tales of the severed floor

(51:41):
from Any. Mark some of those stories may have involved Mister.
Milchik after a couple of, beats smiling At, Devon seth
realizes he's not making any friends. Here he turns to
Follow mark And. Ricken devin watches as he. Leaves she
casually moves over by the framed wedding Picture mark had
laid on the. Table she drops a dish towel over.
It no reason to involve Mister miltchik in The Gemma's alive.

(52:03):
Discussion cut to a close up Of seth placing his
very imposing writing helmet on a. Table It's Matt black
with a full black tinted. Windscreen ricken is mesmerized By
seth's writing.

Speaker 5 (52:16):
Gear that is a magnificent.

Speaker 1 (52:18):
Helmet, okay so nobody said it when this episode came,
out at least THAT i could, Find But i'm going
to say, it that's a dick. Joke magnificent helmet could
be referring to a specific portion of the male. Anatomy
i've Noticed Dan erickson has some junior high tendencies in his.
Writing sometimes it's not like He's Adam, sandler but he
does slip a few body comments in here and. There

(52:39):
case in, point in a couple of, episodes we're going
to Have deeter yanking it in the. Woods, Also dan's
working With Ben, stiller who we don't want to. Forget
you have Us, Dodgeball zoolander And meet The, fokkers among many.
Others he's got a bit of a junior high streak
in him as, well and he's turned it into a.
Fortune i'm just Sure Magnificent helmet is a dick joke
in it flew right under everybody's. Radar IF i ever

(53:02):
get the chance to speak to mister E i'm gonna
ask him about this. One some fans, believe with no
proof for indication at, all That miltchik's magnificent helmet holds a.
Camera he set it on the table so specifically so
he could be recording the. Discussion this is an interesting.
Theory but if he really were recording this, gathering why

(53:22):
don't we ever see the footage? Later we never see
any helmet footage throughout the. Season i'm thinking the helmet
cam is another of the dozens of theories that get
thrown out there by eager. Fans it sounds, good but
it's never. Proven Ben stiller has said numerous times and
interviews not everything means. Something there are. Coincidences they happen

(53:43):
all the. Time the production team has also proven repeatedly
if it does mean, something they will show. Us check
the long, shot the table where they're sitting is boxed
in to half of the. Frame the other half is.
Darkness i'd say the director is telling us nobody has
got the full picture. Here, ooh and while we're looking
at this long, shot don't miss those oval lights on the.

(54:06):
Breakfront those are Vintage laurel mushroom, lamps designed By Bill.
Curry they were originally created in the nineteen sixties but
continue to be popular. Today current versions of this lamp
run around eight hundred and fifty. Dollars vintage originals from
the nineteen sixties are going for about twelve hundred dollars
apiece On eBay once they're settled. In seth congenially explains.

Speaker 5 (54:28):
What happened tonight is what we call the overtime. Contingency
it's his.

Speaker 1 (54:32):
Safeguard luman only uses this option if they need to
contact a work personage off company, grounds which is exactly
How seth used it to Contact dylan in his.

Speaker 2 (54:42):
Closet, yeah you never told me about, this oh.

Speaker 1 (54:44):
But they, did and in the most weasily way. POSSIBLE.

Speaker 5 (54:47):
Ohtc disclosure can be found in your start.

Speaker 1 (54:49):
Paperwork there's no Way luhman would leave themselves. Exposed this
is a good. Lesson read those online usage agreements before
you click. Okay there's no telling what you're agreeing to
and those. Things seth admits that tech was commandeered by
one Of mark's office. Mates dylan was able to hold
those switches open for thirty nine. Minutes the episode runtime

(55:10):
is listed at forty. Minutes they did have to slip
in some credits other than That dylan was holding those
switches open the entire.

Speaker 5 (55:17):
Episode Any mark was here in this, House.

Speaker 1 (55:21):
Mark And rickens sit. Silently devon pipes. Up she's not
shy about admitting.

Speaker 5 (55:26):
IT i KNOW i talked to.

Speaker 1 (55:27):
Him just What seth was looking. For he needs to
know what the innies were claiming So lumann can counter.

Speaker 5 (55:33):
It what did he say to?

Speaker 1 (55:34):
YOU a lot of? Stuff But devon isn't going to
just cough it up for The Evil.

Speaker 2 (55:37):
Empire IF i tell, you where are you going to
punish him for?

Speaker 1 (55:40):
It devin seems to have gotten the gist of what
goes on down. There seth answers quickly and without a
hint of. Irony we have no punishments at, them of course.
Not we just send people to the break room when
they need to get their minds. Straight seth backs away
from the. Request what was said is not his biggest
worry right, now or, so he.

Speaker 5 (55:59):
Claims i'm more concerned about how you're, doing mister.

Speaker 1 (56:02):
Scout so sincere so, Caring seth Says mark must feel
violated by the actions of his. Inny mark's about to
respond When devon jumps. In Sure mark's got his, issues
but so Does.

Speaker 7 (56:14):
Devin, yes speaking of, violations just wondering how common it
is for your managers to commit fucking lactation fraud against
their employees'.

Speaker 1 (56:20):
Families Missus selwig wasn't just Violating, mark she was also
inserting herself into The hale household under false. Pretenses seth
size and knowing. Sighs Miss, Cobell, yeah ding Ding. Ding
cobell continues to be held up as the scapegoat for
pretty much everything that happened this.

Speaker 5 (56:38):
Evening what we learned tonight is that she is quite severely, unwell.

Speaker 1 (56:44):
So unwell in, fact she was fired earlier. Today, then
for some crazy, Reason helming The egan just tried to
hire her back not more than an hour. Ago this
mention Of selvig Causes mark to pipe. Up he says
she lives next, door he knows, her.

Speaker 5 (56:59):
And her behavior At lumen seems to be the source
of Your inny's.

Speaker 1 (57:02):
Distress this is pretty much the same story he'll be
Telling marx any On monday. Morning seth then gets very.

Speaker 5 (57:08):
Solemn she will never descend to that floor.

Speaker 1 (57:11):
Again but if she takes the sack, job she'll probably
be descending to a spot a few floors above that.
Floor seth also promises they won't have to worry About
selvig here in The oudy world, either you have my,
word although he doesn't explain exactly how he's going to
make that. Happen seth still has not collected any actionable.

(57:31):
Intelligence he, says they need to know what they're dealing.

Speaker 5 (57:34):
With is there anything anything you can tell?

Speaker 1 (57:39):
Me mark says, no other than they are all very. Tired, yes,

Revolt sure you don't want to can him while you
have the, Chance, Audie, mark it turns, out isn't so
fired up about returning even before THE otc Awareness Audie
mark was seriously considering his resignation from the severed. Floor

(58:23):
THE otc kind of cemented his. Decision. Yeah this Causes
miltchik to step around the table so he can Address mark.
Directly he says What mark's an he did tonight was highly,
unauthorized it was also very. Brave seth asked If mark
is going to reward that courage with non. Existence seth

(58:44):
doesn't think it's, fair but ultimately the decision Is. Marx
it would be this courage from Any mark that comes
back to bite them all in the. Butt Any mark
chooses existence when he decides to stay on the severed
floor With helly. R it was but maybe not the smartest.
Choice without another, word Mister miltchick departs beer, house and
