with your in-house shrink.

So why don't you just

let me soak up the me time,

and get some f***ing work done,

all right?

[GRUNTS]

Do you mind?

I'm on the clock,

and I'd like you

to get your money's worth.

[GRUNTS]

[DOOR CLOSES]

[DOOR OPENS]

WOMAN:

I am going to assign

a one to the vertical spin,

and...

uh, let's make

the diagonal 0.

Let's try that.

[DOOR OPENS]

Holy sh*t.

Oh, man...

[GRUNTS]

[]

[GRUNTS]

[]

Okay.

Yes...

[KEYBOARD CLACKING]

[KEYBOARD CLACKING]

Hey.

Hey!

A**holes...

[DOOR OPENS]

What's up?

- You never told me.

- Never told you what?

I wasn't

the first person here.

You hired another

cryptographer, didn't you?

Well, I guess

I'm the guy you call

when nobody else

can get the job done.

They're blueprints.

Designs for a machine

of some sort.

Not really sure what, though.

It's incomplete.

You guys only gave me a portion

of what you found on that thing.

You read through all this?

Some of them.

Uh...

There's something else.

It's a message.

This is...

It's Navajo.

Keeping it local.

It's a... It's a warning.

[CHUCKLES]

Yeah.

Yeah, apparently, we are on

the eve of the Third World War,

and that machine,

whatever the f*** it is,

is our first line of defense.

Your service

has been appreciated.

The remainder of your fee

will be transferred.

That's it?

You'll be sedated

and escorted home.

Come on, come on.

What, no...? No champagne?

To ensure your adherence to

the terms of the contract,

you'll remain

under surveillance.

Not one word is to be spoken,

written or thought.

You're welcome.

You're welcome!

Do you have any idea?

Any idea what I did here?

- Get off me.

- [SYRINGE SHOOTS]

[]

[GROANS]

F***.

[GROANS]

What the f***?

Oh...

[SIGHS]

Oh, sh*t.

[VOMITING]

[PILLS CLATTER]

ALEX [ON COMPUTER]: I thought,

at first, it was a, um

side effect of the sedative,

or that maybe

I was just

purging the stress

from my system.

[SIGHS]

It was about

three or four days

before I could

keep anything down.

Then it started.

[FAINT CRACKLING]

[CRACKLING]

[VOICES ON RADIO TALKING,

DISTORTED]

MAN'S VOICE:

Now you see what we see.

[DOORBELL RINGS]

MAN 1:

Alex Jacobs?

Yeah.

My colleague and I would like

to ask you a few questions.

You from

A.R.I.S.T.?

May we

come in?

Sure.

[]

Okay, um...

So, uh...

what's this all about?

We're here to ask you

a few questions.

Yeah?

What, like a

customer-satisfaction survey?

[CHUCKLES]

The questions are regarding

your recent work.

The satellite.

Yes.

Uh, yeah. I can't talk about it.

I'm... I'm under contract.

We're curious

to know why you agreed

to help decipher

the code.

You're what?
