Who was the guy? It was Jeff, and we are dating.
Have a nice, big, life.
Just please promise me you will never tell anyone this.
If you trust me Amy? The story is going to run.
I just hope you know what you are doing.
So you know this community outreach job?
What if I could get Eileen to get you a meeting with Szidon?
I mean fine, but its unrealistic.
I will make a position for you.
There is no job for you at Abbadon any more.
There is no job for Szidon, he's going to jail.
I think it would be bad form, that if when
The story breaks, that
People think we are in some kind of relationship.
AMY, VOICE-OVER: How strange is this life.
To be born into a body.
To certain, uncertain parents.
In this beautiful, upsetting world.
It is so bizarre.
Am I my higher self...
AMY, VOICE-OVER: or am I in the mud?
Am I an agent of change...
or a creator of chaos?
Am I the fool...
the goat...
the witch?
Or am I Enlightened?
Hello?
Tyler, hey.
Hey. What's up?
Well, Jeff gave me
a reality check yesterday.
He's running the story, Tyler.
There's nothing I can say or do. I tried.
Well, why didn't you call me?
I didn't have the heart to break it to you.
I mean, you were so excited
when I told you I got the job.
It's just...
I'm in the story.
Like, there's no way I can take a job
at Abaddonn now.
Tyler, I really feel like you need to prepare
yourself for what's about to happen.
Well, what's--what's going to happen.
I don't know.
Well, how am I supposed to prepare?
Well, you know, you're just--
you're gonna--you--
Oh, my God.
Listen, Tyler, I'm gonna come into work
in a minute, OK?
We're gonna get our stories straight.
And I'll say whatever you want me to say.
You'll get your old job at IT back
unless the company folds
or everybody goes to jail--
Tyler?
Who was that? What's wrong?
Tyler, what is it?
Is something the matter?
Tell me.
You don't want to know.
Yes, I do.
It'll be OK. You can tell me anything.
Is it about your aunt's time share?
Hey.
Mom, we need to talk.
Things are coming to a head. I feel like you need to know.
Oh, no.
Oh, no, no. It's not bad. It's not bad. Um...
I've blown the whistle on Abaddonn.
I found this really damaging information about the CEO.
And, um...
I leaked it to the "L.A. Times."
And they're running a huge story.
And I'm in it.
Why would you do that?
Uh, 'cause the guy's a criminal
and the company's really crooked
and they hurt a lot of people, you know?
And why is that your business?
Mom, it's everybody's business.
No, it's not, Amy.
They brought you back after all that you did.
And this is how you repay them?
You know, Amy, you have done
a lot of foolish things in your life,
but this is too much.
What's next?
Are you gonna blow the whistle on me?
Forget it. You know what, the "L.A. Times" thinks
what I did is brave.
Oh, do they?
Yeah. Are they going to pay you?
Are they going to get you a job?
Are they going to get you out of debt?
Are they going to put a roof over your head?
Mom, there are things that are bigger than me.
Yes, there are things bigger than you.
And I cannot stand by and watch you
destroy your own life.
Then don't. I'll move out.
I think you should.
OK.
I'll get some stuff later.
Hey.
They know, Amy.
What?
Somehow they know.
Who knows?
Abaddonn, Szidon. They called my editor
and my publisher.
They know there's a story.
They don't know what's in it,
but they know there is one.
How?
I don't know. It's a bummer.
We got lawyers crawling all over us.
It was gonna happen eventually when I called
for quotes, but...
Well, you're still running the story, right?
Of course. We just wanted to handle them
when we had our ducks in a row.
Now we're in a legal clusterfuck
and we're back on our heels.
Maybe somebody at the paper told them or...?
Amy, they know about your involvement.
They mentioned you specifically.
It makes me think it's someone you know.
Krista.
Fucking Krista!
Who's Krista?
She was my assistant.
Oh! She's having a baby, and I got fucking sentimental.
I stupidly said something to her.
Look, Amy, I'm running in to deal
with all this Abaddonn legal stuff,
so let me call you in a bit, OK?
Yeah. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Ohh, fucking Krista.
Bye.
Hi. This is Krista.
I'll be on maternity leave
until the end of the year.
If this is work-related, please try Janis Holmes.
Otherwise, leave a message. Thanks.
I need
to see Krista. Can I see Krista?
She left for the hospital already.
She's having her baby.
Oh, fuck!
Hey, I'm looking for Krista Jacobs.
She's in room 112.
Congratulations!
Thank you.
Are you so excited?
I'm very excited. I just...
I can't wait to hold him.
Nobody ever tells you...
Wonderful.
Oh, hey, Amy.
Did you come to meet Abel?
I know what you did.
Krista, you know what you did.
You know what you did. And I trusted you!
What are you talking about, Amy?
I begged you not to say anything.
Are you...are you kidding me?
So just tell me what you told them.
What's going on, honey?
I have absolutely no idea.
Krista, you have fucked me
for the last time.
Get out! You have...
totally...
Oh, make it about you, Amy.
Well, this is it, guys.
This is the end.
You guys want to share what you're going to do
after this?
I think I'm gonna catch up
on my sleep.
Cool. Ken?
I don't know. I guess I'll try to finish
my young adult novel.
OK. Connie?
I'm thinking of getting into missionary work.
Well, get your shots if you're going
to Africa. Because a buddy of mine went
to Tanzania, and he went swimming
in a lake. And a parasite
crawled up his ass and almost killed him.
So, you know, don't unpack that bikini.
Hey, guys, remember, when one door closes,
another one opens.
So walk through that doorway
