need to talk, okay?

I love you.

[door closes]

[gasps]

[breathing heavily]

[steam hissing]

[man]

Did you get the files I sent?

Uh,

yeah.

837 Audio Jammer.

Who are you?

[whispering]

Nobody. Hacker, journalist.

I spend my time writing a book

about all this dark tech sh*t.

I'd stop taking the

Quintinal if I were you.

I noticed you order

your pharm online.

I generally advise against that.

What else do you know about me?

My theory is your condition has

you operating on a frequency

outside the range of their tech.

You're like an outlier,

a black swan.

The catch-22, too little meds

your condition takes over,

too much, they do.

I haven't been taking them.

That's one for the win column.

Disconnect your wifi.

You watch procedurals?

Common motif, everything is

conjecture or hearsay

or straight-up paranoia, until

you get physical evidence.

- This is The Pinnacle?

- Uh huh.

One of those files has

all the lock codes.

The new tech has

revolutionized the world.

Everything's moving

at quantum speeds.

Politics, commerce, and

coordinated criminal activity.

You can walk into any coffee

shop in the civilized world

and you can see our virtual

consumption has us ripe

for a psychotronic takeover.

So it's not that much of a

stretch to think of competing

multinationals putting up

smart buildings

in Tokyo, London, Chicago.

There's a whole world of

wealthy, cybernated marionettes

just waiting for their

strings to get pulled.

It's happening,

and I think you can help me

prove it.

[beeping]

[banging]

Delivery.

- Hi.

- How did you get through the gate?

Just walked through, it was

open. 720, Nancy Hiemer?

I'm afraid we don't have

a resident by that name.

I'm sorry, you don't

have a unit 720?

- There is a 720.

- Does Nancy Hiemer live there?

I'm not at liberty to...

The point being, we don't have

- a Nancy Hiemer living here.

- You don't?

I'm gonna ask you to leave.

- This is The Pinnacle?

- Or I will call security.

Relax, I'm just trying

to deliver a package.

You should get that gate

checked. I walked right in.

[keyboard clicking]

[footsteps]

[keyboard clicking]

[closes panel]

[camera clicks]

[man] Well, it does look like

military grade hardware.

I forgot the brand name,

but I'll look into it.

I'll have a guy I know

check into this Henning

Dallquist character,

see what I can dig up.

You all right?

Yeah.

Russel?

[door bangs]

Hey. When did you get in?

So who's in 410?

[knocking]

[man] Excuse me.

That suite's vacant.

[elevator dings]

Like I said, it's empty.

[Lance] Our amenities include a

state-of-the-art fitness center,

outdoor pool, games room, 20

seat multimedia screening room.
