Pantheon

The Greek god Zeus leads a heavenly war

against his father, Kronos, for supremacy of the universe.

The Babylonian goddess Tiamat makes war against her children,

who killed her husband, who tried to kill them.

The Norse god Odin and his brothers forge a new world

from the murdered corpse of their grandpa.

Most of the girls in my class

completely missed the moment when the world began to end.

Too wrapped up in their own drama,

obsessed with their own lives...

or trying to ruin mine.

And the list goes on and on and on.

But the story-- Well, the story is kinda the same.

Family feud escalates into violent power struggle

between a pantheon of supreme beings and their offspring.

A new world is created in the aftermath.

And this same basic plot is the backbone

for creation myths of different cultures

from different parts of the world

that knew nothing about each other.

Comparative mythologists call this a...?

Uh, where are you going?

Bathroom.

Forget something?

-My phone's in my bag. -Cool.

When it's on my desk, you can go to the restroom.

Hey.

Madison! Hey!

It's been two years.

Two years ago this week, actually.

And she really hasn't been the same since he passed,

as you can imagine.

I can, yeah.

I wish we would've known.

She didn't say anything.

No. And I didn't either.

I should have, on the application.

You know, it's just with that and the move,

new school, new home...

I get it.

Change is a huge cause of stress,

and then you add in being a teenager on top.

Oh, my God! Dad!

I-It'll need upgrades.

I love it!

I figure every engineer needs their toolkit.

It might be a little slow, but...

I'll swap in an SSD, boost the RAM.

Did you get it on eBay or Newegg?

Actually, it's Mom's old laptop.

Mom's? Mm-hmm.

She should know the password.

She's never gonna give me that.

Well, not if you don't ask her.

She wants me to "unplug." She hates all technology.

No, she doesn't.

Why do you want me to talk to Mom?

Is this a trick question?

Why did you give me this?

My birthday's not till next month.

Maddie.

I thought you were getting better.

What's the point of all of this if you're not getting better?!

I don't want this stupid computer!

Maddie, if I really thought I was dying,

I would give you my laptop.

I gave you that one because it's a piece of junk.

And I want you to talk to Mom because she's your mom.

She's smart and she's caring,

and if you're going through a rough patch,

she is the absolute best person to talk to.

Wanna talk about it?

No.

Don't show weakness.

You're confused?

Or-- Or you can't talk?

Whatever.

I saw the damn e-mail.

Yeah. It made me feel like shit.

Easier said than done.

Umbrella in the rain?

Protection from the rain?

I always try to get in right at the bell or a little after.

Cuts down on their time to mess with you.

Sometimes it doesn't work.

Eight means eight. Come on. Take your seats.

Mr. Jones! I am in mine!

Kelly's the best, Mr. Jones.

We are tardy.

Okay, guys, if you check SiteGeist,

you'll see I put your syllabus in there.

Hey. What's wrong?

Today, though, something was different.

I'm not sure what was going on,

but by lunch, Samara's squad was turning on one another.

...sociopathic. Oh, my God.

Like, I don't even get it or whatever...

Huh?

Erin, it's okay.

It's not okay.

What is your problem, bitch?!

My problem?

How did you hack my phone?!

- Guys! - ...and said--

I said, how did you hack my phone?!

Guys!

Guys, stop it!

Oh, my God! That even looks like her!

How did you hack all of them?

You know my mother?

Who knows me?

You're home early.

Uh, computers went down at work.

Who are you talking to?

I'm not. It's just a... chat.

With who?

Uh... Emo.

And-- And who's Emo?

Just someone online...

who's been helping me.

Let me see.

No! Mom!

That's not gonna work.

How long has this been going on?

Nothing is "going on," Mom.

What is this? What are these?

That's all he uses.

I thought you didn't know who he was.

How do you know Emo is a he?

I don't! I just call him Emo because he only talks in emoji!

Do you have any idea how dangerous--

He won't respond to--I-I got it.

How do I get out of this?

I don't know. It's-- It's not an app.

It's like a root chat.

What... the hell?

Mom?

What are lips? A man's lips?

"What lips my lips have kissed, and where and why."

It's from a poem.

What poem?

No. No way.

No goddamn way.

Dr. Waxman, please.

No, I don't have an extension.

Peter Waxman. Head of Research.

Tell him it's Ellen Kim. He'll pick up.

Ellen? What have you done with David?

Don't bullshit me, Pete.

He just sent me a message. On the computer.

No. No. You hang up this phone, and it is war.

Just tell me the truth.

What have you done with my husband?!

Downlink from Palo Alto!

It's Waxman.

-Pope. - We have a breach.

Someone reached out to David Kim's family.

Who? Who do you think?

What do they know?

Nothing they can prove.

Didn't you say if we partitioned language processing,

this wouldn't be an issue?

I told you, the brain is holonomic.

You need to cut his network access now.

Yeah. Okay. You're right.

But don't sound so nervous, Pete.

This is a big step forward.

Pope. What's wrong?

Nothing. Just...

want to hear how it's going with our boy.

Fine.

But, um, I'd rather update you at check-in.

I don't want to send you an incomplete report.

Yeah, I understand.

You know, I'm sitting here in my car, without my notes.

Fair enough. We'll talk soon.

Ms. Gauss sits at the absolute maximum point on the curve.

4y equals negative 2x to the third,

plus 3x to the second, plus 7,

over the interval, negative 1-2.

Now, Pascal's seat is collinear

with those of Gauss and Kronecker.

So where does Pascal sit?

Caspian?

Caspian?

Two-zero.

C-Can you tell us how you arrived at that?

Since Gauss sits at negative 1-3

and Kronecker at 1-1, slope is negative 1.

Student store's around the corner,

and there's the auditorium where the theater dweebs hang.

No, no, no.

That's Casper the unfriendly goth.

Caspian.

Oh. Like, um, "Narnia."

Sorry.

No. You're right. "Narnia."

Come on, before he shoots up the school.

Don't you hear the strange talking beasts?

Hannah.
