and finally, in a peaceful China, appears benevolent. That's an easier pitch for me to get onto the President's desk. I will be happy to go back and talk with the Chinese government. I'm sure that they will be most agreeable. But the next time you threaten my plans, what? What? The only move left in that scenario is a third world war. You see, I'm a mercenary. I don't play fair. I play what I want. You deal with a mercenary, then all decorum gets tossed out the window. So you go ahead with your cute threats and your watch beeps. Order will not protect you anymore, my friend. I will reign chaos even if it hurts me, as I would rather see you lose than win myself. That's all the time I have. On May 9th, we took down the world's biggest conglomerate.

[Applause] As of noon this Friday, I'm sorry to say the Washington Township plant will be taken over by the federal government. And here I thought we were taking a step forward, but here we stand two steps back. Their actions remind me of your predecessor. Here comes the veil, death threats. You want to take a shot at me? He might guess the appointment of a new CEO isn't going to stop the federal government from taking over the plant. I flew for 13 hours and 35 minutes. If you have a point, it's time. I needed that bailout money and I no longer have it thanks to your little shootout in China. What do I need now? Catch lots of. I could see a scenario where the Chinese government, in a bid to establish itself as the new global leader of the 21st century, loans Ecore up the money it needs at a low interest rate, perhaps even zero, as a gesture of goodwill to the American people. With that cash, I could save your plant from the clutches of the federal government.

[Music] In chess, help isn't allowed. That's the beauty of the game. You're locked into a set of moves as determined by your previous choices. [Music] Your options dramatically changing with every decision. There is no lifeline. There is no external force at play. It is a pure battle of two opponents, or in this case, one stalemate again. We need a winner. Let's reset. [Music] Remember when you first taught me how to code? Not really. Was a computer chess game. You always told me you had to know more moves ahead than the player user. Sounds like good advice from a good father, except for one thing. You're not my father. You're not even here right now. [Music] Mother stalemate. What are the odds? Let's reset. Doesn't it make you sick that while you're here battling me, there are people out there hurting everyone we care about? Everyone's hurting because of us. You got running around in circles. This will be the last time that we do. I'm thinking about what you said earlier. You can

see you in the morning, and then I go to bed. My mom has no computer, internet access to tempt me into the night. All that's left for me is just ordinary analog sleep, ending the day's loop. You might not think it's a way to live, but why not? Repeating the same task each day without ever having to think about them, isn't that what everybody does? Keep things on repeat to go along with their NCIS's and lexapro. Isn't that where it's comfortable in the sameness? Yes, a succession of unfortunate events, timing of which almost seems intentional, but at least there's good news for both of us. Your little pet project came through even better than you thought. I must admit, she surprised me. It's a good thing that she did the right thing in the end. It's too bad for all she's done; it won't matter. The failure of the bailout has left me in a rather obsequious position. You failed our financial stress tests, so you won't be able to keep up all our facilities.

easier to rule us by the charlatans that want to run us. [Music] All we are to them are paying fanboys of their poorly written sci-fi franchise. I don't listen to my imaginary friend. Why the [__] should I listen to yours? People think their worship is some key to happiness. That's just how he owns you. [Music] Haven, I'm not crazy enough to believe that distortion of reality. So [__] God. [Music] He's not a good enough scapegoat for me. Please tell me I didn't say all of that out loud. [__] They did. I'm not killing anyone. Tell me one thing, Elliot. Are you a 1 or 0? That's the question you have to ask yourself. Are you a yes or no? You're gonna act or not. Oh, you ain't staring at a computer screen. Wait too long. Humming. It's not that binary, is it? Sure, they're a breeze when you come right down to it at

think all the moves you want, but at the end of the day, the moves I'm making are the ones you are telling me to make. He's right. There are over 9 million different possible positions after three chess moves each. There are over 288 billion different possible positions after four moves. The number of 40-move games is greater than the number of electrons in the observable universe. You don't need to know those outcomes; you just need to be able to see ahead of your opponent. But how can you and their other opponent miss you stalemate three in a row? The odds of that are impossible. Go again. [Music] I can't beat you, and you can't beat me. [Music] We could play again, but we will always be at this impasse. [Music] And you knew all along it was the only way to show you that fighting me is a waste of time. No, we'll go again. I can beat you. I can beat you. When will you finally realize that I'm here for a reason?

I'll fight for that future that you want. Isn't with me a chess. It's what you do out there with them. I want to be here, Elliot. [Music] with you. [Music] Nah man, my systems home. God can help you. How? A God does. He helps. Tell me, I didn't god help my innocent friend who died for no reason while the guilty roam free. Okay, fine, forget the 1oz about the countless Wars declared in his name. Okay, fine, let's skip the random meaningless murder for a second, shall we? About the racist, sexist, phobia soup we've all been drowning in because of him. And I'm not just talking about Jesus, I'm talking about all organized religion, exclusive groups created to manage control the dealer again, people hooked on the drug of hope, his followers nothing but addicts who want their hit of [ __ ] to keep their dopamine of ignorance, addicts afraid to believe the truth that there's no order, there's no power, that all religions are just metastasizing mindworms meant to divide us so it's

its core, but if every choice is either a 1 or 0, you either do something or you don't. You walk out that door, you decided to do nothing, to say no, which means you do not come back, you leave, you are no longer a part of this, you become a zero. If you stay, we want to change the wand, you become a yes, you become a wanna. So I'll ask you again, are you will 1 or 0 then this immense in prison because of our let's not kid ourselves. This has nothing to do with Colby, this isn't even about my revolution, this is more than that for you. This is about how those bastards slowly killed your father, and I wished he'd done something about it, but he didn't because he was a zero just like you're being right now. [Music] Disappearing again. I'm not killing anyone, leave me out of this. You get to disappear from this, we can do it with or without you, but you're a part of it either way. [Music]
