Mythic Quest

And that is Elysium.

What do you think?

It's beautiful.

- It's humbling. - It's perfect.

Right? I knew you'd like it.

I could use this expansion to make positive social change.

Publicly.

Rehab my image. Do some good for the world.

Sounds like you're doing good for yourself.

The monetization opportunities are endless.

There'll be no stopping us.

David, we'll be like Catholic priests in a souped-up ice-cream truck

that can do 200 miles per hour and outrun the cops.

I wouldn't say that. In fact, don't say that.

- I accept. - I really haven't offered anything yet.

I'm already the greatest coder of my generation,

but working alongside Poppy

can help me become the greatest coder of any generation.

And that is humbling.

Yeah, that doesn't sound humble. Do you hear yourself?

Poppy is coming back, right?

Yes, she is.

I, uh, convinced her to stay.

Another example of my effective leadership.

You tricked a pregnant woman into staying at work

instead of being with the father of her unborn child.

No, no. She wanted to stay.

Well, then you did nothing.

How is that effective?

Look, I don't have time to talk about all the ins and outs to you, all right?

The-The point is that Jacques and Jean-Luc are coming in from Montreal today,

so I need you to help me razzle-dazzle 'em.

- I can do that. - Great.

And I need you to talk up the creative

and tell them why gamers are gonna love this thing.

I'd be humbled to.

Uh-huh.

And, Rachel, can I count on you not to talk?

Yes, just like that. Okay. Great. Well, I'm glad everyone's on board.

I'm jumping ship.

My ultimate life goal is to become Jacques and Jean-Luc's assistant.

It is my greatest desire, and my darkest wish.

It's also been my nights and weekends.

I've been setting the groundwork for months,

and today, I will reap what I have sown.

I'll also help you exactly as far as it helps me.

After that, I don't care if you live or die, David.

I'll take it.

The A-Team's back in action!

- Sorry, what's the A-Team? - I said don't talk.

Such a distinctive knock.

Such a distinctive look.

- Do you have tape in your hair? - What's your point?

- Do you want me to get it out? - No.

- Okay. - I thought you resigned.

Shouldn't you be playing golf with Jack Nicholson?

Jack Nicklaus.

Jack Nicklaus is the famous golfer.

Jack Nicholson is the famous actor.

Though I would wanna play with both of them.

Why are you here?

No. The question is why are you here?

Shouldn't you be on your way to the Netherlands?

One of us has to stay for Elysium.

We don't.

We can both go,

and that is honestly what's best for literally everybody.

Not for Mythic Quest.

They'll be fine. In fact, they will be better off without us.

What about the expansion, huh?

The one that we poured our souls into.

You can't stay at MQ and be miserable,

working yourself to death and hating me for it.

And I can't stay because the thought of sitting at my desk

and looking to my left and you not being there is my actual version of hell.

And if you're being honest, wouldn't you say the same thing?

Why can't you just change?

Just a little bit.

Everybody else does it.

Every normal person can do it.

I don't know!

I don't spend as much time in therapy as the rest of you fucking people.

Millennials! You guys ruined it…

Look, I keep trying to do the right thing

and it turns out to literally be the opposite of the right thing.

And I don't know why I can't see that and everybody else can.

Wow.

Finally something Ian Grimm can't see.

Okay.

Okay. That was actually kind of funny.

- It was? - Yeah.

You took a motif that I've established in the past

and you used it against me in a moment of high drama to cut the tension.

The fact that I had to explain it to you makes it a little bit less funny, but--

- I'm funny. - No, I didn't say that.

I said you did one thing funny, that doesn't make you actually funny.

- But it is important. - Mmm.

You made the video game, we had our whole thing,

and then at the very end, you said something funny.

Which closes the loop.

Which means there's nothing more for you here.

What about Elysium?

- We're just gonna let it die? - Poppy.

You said it was the best thing we ever built.

- Poppy. Poppy! - We can't just leave it to--

It's just a video game.

It's just a video game.

We're talking about your life here.

You don't have to be the machine anymore.

- Shit. Okay. - Okay.

Why-Why couldn't you have been this convincing earlier?

Now I gotta… I gotta repack all this stuff.

You don't have to repack anything. David will handle that.

Just grab some essentials and let's go.

- Essentials. Okay. Right. - Yes.

- Ow! Goddamn it, man! - Oh, God!

Okay, let's start with a toothbrush and maybe some mouthwash,

and we'll go from there.

Jesus.

Okay, security's gonna call when Jacques and Jean-Luc have signed in.

Is my A-Team ready?

- - Oh.

- Here we go. - Mm-hmm.

Hello.

Uh, they're here. Yes.

Sorry, who?

Okay. Thank you.

Are Jacques and Jean-Luc here?

No. It's someone named Jean-Georges.

What? Who is he? Their boss?

No. Much more powerful. He's their assistant.

W-Wait, what?

So, they didn't even care enough to come themselves?

Not surprising really.

Jacques and Jean-Luc hardly speak since the affair.

They had an affair?

No. Jacques slept with Jean-Luc's wife.

Or the reverse.

It's hard to keep track myself. It gets messy with brothers.

They're brothers?

Stepbrothers.

Jean-Georges is their go-between.

They do whatever he tells them to do.

They trust him implicitly.

How the hell are we gonna get him on board with the expansion?

I'll take the lead. Move.

Okay.

Over the past six months,

I've been cultivating a friendship with him

- to overtake his job. Yes. - Overtake his job.

I can use my new friendship to our advantage while earning his trust

so that I may plunge the knife in even further.

And sell him on the expansion, right?

Huh?

Oh, yeah. Sure.

- - He's here.

Bonjour!

No. I cannot right now.

I was bingeing Merlot and K-dramas all night and I am in no mood.

Uh… Uh, Carol. Carol.

Listen, um,

I know what's going on with you, dipping your pen in the company ink.

The testers' ink, to be specific.

I am sure I have no idea what you're talking about.

Really?

Well, let's just say I'm concerned,

and I think you should possibly talk to someone.

Not me. A professional.

Well, how about you be professional and mind your damn business?

Yelling at me about my love life.

Wish I was at home watching Extraordinary Attorney Woo.

She is misunderstood. As am I.

Wasn't yelling.

- - Bonjour.

Jean-Georges.

Josephine.

- At last, we meet in person. - At last.

It's just over here, follow me.

You consider that an essential item?

A lamp?

This is my latest art piece.

- Oh, cool. - Right?

What does it mean?

- Guess. -

Well, it's empty and fragile.

It's beautiful, like a… like a beautiful shell of a thing.

Oh. Oh.

Maybe, uh, like a…

like a cute bubble that could burst at any moment.

That's… That's not what I was going for.

Was it?

Shit, man, don't listen to me.

I-I'm terrible at analyzing art.

I wouldn't let a kid anywhere near it though,

'cause they would smash it to bits.

Are you… Are you okay?

- Are you having the baby? - No, I'm not having the ba--

- No, I'm not. - Because I just got the car washed.

- Stop yelling at me! -

- I'm not having the baby! Ian. - If I have to actually birth this baby,
