Enlightened s02e02 Episode Script

I need to get in touch with this writer.
In touch for what? There's a lot of crazy stuff that's probably gonna go down, it's better if you're in the dark.
You're right, they're dumping us.
Even Dougie.
When this shit comes out, we're talking about at least 100 class action lawsuits.
How's it going to come out? There's this guy, he's at the L.
A.
"Times.
" It's him.
Okay, great! You guys still plugging away, huh? Did you notice anything down there? - Yeah.
- We didn't care.
We were just working.
There is a story better than this.
With my help and your access to personal emails we can blow the lid off this whole company.
Of course the world is vast and complex.
To understand it, you can reflect your whole life away and what have you done? Nothing.
At some point, you must do.
It is not enough to have good intentions.
You must act on them.
I couldn't sleep last night thinking about what Jeff told me.
I want to go back in.
You still want to go through with this? Of course.
I just don't want to jeopardize everything because you're pissed about your life.
I am not pissed about my life.
You're living at home with your mom, your husband's in rehab, you're stuck down in the basement with the losers.
You're not pissed? Maybe I'm a little pissed, but that has nothing to do with this.
Doesn't it? I mean, you better be pretty sure about your motives because I'm pretty sure I'm gonna get fired for this.
Tyler, you were gonna get fired anyway.
Yeah, but I have a lot of relationships here.
I'd be burning a bridge.
Tyler, you're too nice, and just because we're in the basement doesn't mean we don't get to have a voice, and those people upstairs need to listen.
You reap what you sow.
What goes around comes around.
Besides, the people down here, if they knew they were all gonna get fired and what we were doing, they'd be behind us all the way.
Let's win one for the little guys.
I got to go to the bathroom.
I, too, have known fear but this is my chance.
Now.
The powerless are calling and the lonely and forgotten.
They want someone to speak for them.
The greatest power is goodness.
I have no reason to be afraid.
I am powerful.
The earth, too, is calling.
I cannot be complacent.
Are others blind? Do they not see? Is pain the only thing that can wake their sleeping compassion? Whatever it takes I must sound the alarm.
Hey, Jeff.
It's Amy.
Hi.
Um, I've been thinking a lot about what you said last night, just going over everything in my head, and I'm in.
I am so in.
Yeah.
So you can call me back.
Hope you're having a great day.
It's so pretty out.
I bet you're out, just working on one of your incredible pieces, helping change the world.
OK.
Bye.
This way.
Wow! This place is great.
My gosh! Seems like the real deal, right? Yeah, yeah.
A buddy of mine owns it.
I met him at Princeton.
Then we went to the Peace Corps together and dug wells in Liberia.
- Wow! - I know.
- Amazing! - Yeah.
Shh! Oh, I'm sorry.
The ironic thing is that I've been working up a story on Abaddon for two years.
If there ever was an evil empire, Abaddon's it, and that CEO Charles Szidon is, like, a classic Darth Vader.
Tyler, see? I So two years ago, Abaddon's accused of dumping tons of toxic waste in the Santa Ana River, right? Everybody knows they did it, and there's a whole Congressional investigation, they're gonna owe millions of dollars in fines, and then suddenly out of nowhere, Senator Munger, who happens to chair this committee, kills it.
So the rumor is that Munger has all of these problems with his ex-wife and financial trouble and that Szidon literally paid him off.
- Oh, my God! - Yeah.
Do you think there's anyway you could get into Szidon's accounts, I mean, just find any kind of correspondence between him and Senator Munger or the staff or any Well, I-I think we can.
I mean, Tyler's a computer genius.
He has a passcode that can get into anybody's work account.
No.
No, I don't.
Yes, you do.
"Julie underscore bitch.
" Can I just say that this is totally fucking amazing that you're doing this? I so appreciate you saying that.
I've been through a lot, trying to make change from within, but I've got to say, sometimes I feel like they're all just, like, zombies, you know? Look.
If you can get anything that proves bribery, you got your front page story, and the earth will move, and the zombies will wake.
Are your ready for that? Yeah.
I think so.
Well, you better be.
There's gonna be a lot of fallout from this, so you better be absolutely sure.
Right.
Aah! Amy! Please! No! No! Hello? Hey, Amy.
It's me Tyler.
Hey.
I'm just freaking out.
- I don't know why I got this e-mail- Oh.
but it's not good.
OK.
Wait.
Slow down.
What happened? I got an e-mail from I.
T.
that said they detected a breach.
Wait.
Is OK.
So is that a big deal? Yeah! We're getting fired! All right.
Tyler, calm down.
Nobody's getting fired, OK? They know, OK? They know.
Well, how would they know? Because someone tried to log on to their account and they couldn't.
You know what? We will really work this out when I get to work.
I'm coming to work now, OK? We will talk about it then.
- All right.
Whatever.
We're fucked.
Friend from work, so You're not doing anything funny, are you? Me funny? No.
Mom, there's nothing funny happening here, OK? I got to go.
I got to go.
So what exactly is the problem? OK.
I was CCed on an I.
T.
Department e-mail, and I guess some executives on Tuesday couldn't get into their accounts because someone else was already logged in.
- Who? - You.
You were logged in, and now they're doing a diagnostic to figure out what happened.
Oh.
Hey.
I need a cup of coffee.
You want to come to the kitchen with me? They take security breaches very seriously, and it's not hard to figure out whose IP address belongs to who.
That's what I used to do.
So, yeah, I am so tired, too.
Are you? Yeah.
You're OK.
So what is going on with you two? What do you mean? We're not on the clock for, like, a couple more minutes, so No, I know, but something is going on with you guys.
You're always sharing secret looks and whispering and sneaking off together, eating together.
Something's up.
I can tell.
That's normal.
We're yeah.
OK.
Well, fine.
Then what's all the whispering for? If you really need to know, uh, Tyler's helping me on the computers let's just tell him uh, with a web site on the Internet that will sell stuff crafts and gifts like needlepoint pillows.
Are you guys dating? Like office fuck buddies or something? - No.
- OK.
Ha ha! I'm glad because I was thinking, like, "Something is going on with these guys.
Are they dating? No.
" I mean, here you have, like, a beautiful, tall woman, and is she really going to be with, like, a tiny, little albino man? No.
That's impossible, right? I was, like, so confused.
Ha ha ha! In my country, somebody with this skin tone is considered, like, a devil and is killed as a child.
That's just how it is, but OK.
Ticktock.
Let's get to work, huh? - Great.
- Good talk.
Great.
Sorry.
OK, everybody.
Uh, it seems like we have a security issue, uh, and tomorrow, some of the guys from I.
T.
are gonna need to get on everybody's computers for a few minutes.
So heads-up.
Hide your porn.
Heh heh heh.
I'm just kidding but not really.
You shouldn't have porn on the office computers, OK, but if you do, just get rid of it, all right, and I'm talking to you, Connie.
Heh heh.
I see the way you I'm just kidding.
I'm not talking to you specifically.
That goes for everybody.
Nobody should have porn on their computers.
OK? Tyler, this is serious.
I told you.
We have to do something.
And I can't even think with Omar, Dougie's henchman, standing over us, breathing down my fucking neck.
Shit.
OK.
This can't end here, OK? I mean, we have to do something.
This is our chance.
People don't get these.
Seriously, Tyler, we have a mission here, OK? What? Oh, my God! Female approximately Fuck! Krista! You sticking around here tonight, or Go ahead, Jimmy.
All right.
Oh, my God.
Harper! You guys, what happened? Oh.
It was Krista.
She wasn't feeling well, and then she started throwing up, and then she passed out.
Where did they take her? St.
Maria's.
I'll go I'll go there.
Fuck.
Hurts right here? Oh, great.
Excuse me.
Can I help you? Yeah.
Uh, Krista Jacobs.
I'm her friend.
I'm sorry.
Only family can be let back there.
Oh.
Well, what's going on? I mean, is she OK, or I don't have any information, - but if you could take a seat over there - Oh, OK.
someone will be able to come by and Oh.
Oh! Steve! Janis! Hey.
What happened? What's going on? I don't know.
I'm not a doctor.
She just, you know, started sweating and then convulsing and then vomiting and passed out.
She's talking, she's fine, she's conscious.
I mean, she's not gonna, like, die or anything.
I just don't know what's going on with her baby.
Maybe I should go back there because I, like, had a miscarriage, so I know Amy, no.
It's for the family.
But you were back there, so Because I rode in the ambulance with her and I'm her best friend.
And I'm the reason you know her.
I mean, got her her job in the first place, so Are you fucking kidding me right now? I'm trying to be supportive.
I What's wrong? Uh, something's wrong with Krista.
Like, she's in the hospital.
Uh I don't know.
Guess it's her pregnancy.
What is it? I don't know.
Nobody would tell me.
She's not my friend anymore.
I mean, she doesn't like me, so Why wouldn't she like you? It's such a long story, Mom.
I wouldn't even know where to start, but she's just protecting herself, I guess.
Honey, you know what? I just finished this pillow.
Why don't you give it to her? It's a great gift, it's a act of kindness.
You know, sometimes, that's all it takes to set things right.
Not in my world, not in the world I'm living in.
I'm going to bed.
Is this your desk? Yep.
Yeah.
This is only gonna take a minute, and I can get this back to you.
OK.
Holy shit! They're at my desk right now! I know, but don't worry.
I fixed it.
You fixed it? Last night, I came in here, and I took your hard drive, and I put it on someone else's computer, and then I took their hard drive and then put it on yours.
What? Whose computer? Tyler, do not be weird with me right now.
I am having a fucking panic attack! I took care of it.
Hi.
This is Harper.
Leave a message after the beep.
Hey, Harper.
It's Amy.
I'm just wondering if you have an update on Krista.
You know, I'm just sitting here worried about her at extension 745.
Can you call me back? OK.
Thanks.
Fuck.
Is everything all right? Um, no.
I'm worried about my friend.
She's in the hospital.
What's wrong with her? I don't know.
I mean, she's pregnant, and there's a complication.
I'm sorry.
Yeah.
Thanks.
Hey, Connie.
Um do you think that you can put out good energy into the universe and good things happen or bad energy and bad things No.
No? Because it's God's will, not ours.
It's in God's hands.
I feel like I wished something that I didn't know I wished and then it happened.
What did you wish? Something awful.
Well, I doubt God heard you.
Great.
I'm sorry about your friend.
Thanks.
Should we pray for her? Really? O yeah.
OK.
That'd be great.

Is she doing OK? Well, she's better.

I'm so sorry.
I brought her a little, um, present, and and I wanted to bring you some hand sanitizer, you know, because in the hospital, you never know what you might need.
Would it be OK to just give her the gift and say a quick hi or OK.

I was just fucking fired! - What? - Yeah.
They called me into the office, and they suspended me without pay, and when I asked them why, they said that I hacked they system or something, which I didn't do, and I told them that.
I said, "I want an investigation," that they were all fucking idiots, and then it just got worse, and they fired me right there! Oh, my God, Omar.
This fucking place.
Fuck this place! I'm I'm so sorry.
They treat me like I'm like I'm some kind of criminal.
You know it's because of because of where I'm from, because of how I fucking look! You know I didn't do anything! I'm I'm so sorry.

Omar, I'm I'm so sorry.
Bye.
Bye.
Fuck this place, right? Fuck this place! Hey, Dougie.
I'm sorry I'm late from lunch.
I was visiting a friend in the hospital.
They fired Omar.
I just saw him in the parking lot.
They accused him of hacking.
It's bullshit! It's fucked up! But I'm gonna get to the fucking bottom of it.
You should.
Oh, I will.
What is going on? You like that? I killed two birds with one stone.
Tyler, you framed him.
Well, he was on to us.
It was for the greater good, right? And you know it's true.
I've been too nice, and because of that, these people think I'm a joke.
Oh, my God.
But what goes around comes around, you reap what you sow.
That's what you said.
I said that?! I think we can do this.
We can take them all down.
What is good? Who is on the side of good? Everyone can be wicked.
Everyone can feel pain.
Who am I fighting for? They say the road to hell is paved with good intentions.
My intentions are good.
My intentions are so good.
