Ah. Ah. Ah. Ah. He just popped up. No problem. Dad, sit down. I don't want you to have a heart attack.
Okay. I'm pretty sure I just have to go. Oh my God. Ah. So you like it out of your head. Yeah. Yeah. Are you like a California girl now? Like? Dad. Stop. I miss you. I'm right here, kiddo. You know what I mean. How about once the trial is over, I find a place out here. How long will that take? I don't know. Ah. It's time to help your own man up. Come on. You're strong enough now. Come on. You're like a million pounds. Come on. Come on. Come on. Come on. Come on. You
cooked. You young lady, however, did not come. Help. Yes. Help. So how many classes is Ted teaching? Oh, he has only two units right now, but he'll have a full load in the fall. Oh, oh, great. Yeah. At Pepperdine. What? I didn't say anything. You're an Ivy League snob. Oh, he did I say anything? Not technically, but you inferred. You can you prove that? No, no, no, do not turn her into a lawyer. I'm not. I'm not. She's going to be a pro surfer,
right? He says I can't be both. Ah, there you go. All right. I love you both. Thank you for lunch. It was delicious, but I got to get back to my hotel to pack. I got to flight. Already? Sweet. Are you coming to New York in three weeks? And besides, you're not even going to pay attention to me. You'll probably be hanging out with your friends the whole week. Can I see Phil too? She's under house arrest. I don't think she... Yeah, you'll see
her. I'll make sure you see her. Come, give me a hug. You call me every morning, every night. Okay. Promise me. I promise. I promise. I promise. Thanks again for lunch, Cass. I love you both. I love you too, dad. It is 10.33 a.m. June 15th, 2034. Interview number four. Phil and El Greymore, former technician at Adluce and O'Layne. Wait, before we get started, can I have another cup of this fantastic coffee? Sure. Gary, more coffee in here.
Thanks, Gary. All right. Phil, when you called to report Vincent Lombard, you did so anonymously. Thank you so much, Gary. You're welcome. This Guatemalan or Nicaraguan? Don't answer that, Gary. Ecuadorian. Gary, get the fuck out. Thank you. Can we do this? Sure. Thank you. When you reported Vincent Lombard, you did so anonymously. Correct? Yeah. But when Miranda found out it was you, she asked you to come forward publicly. Yes. But
you refused. Yes. Why did she want you to take the credit? She was the one who recruited the cars for the party in the first place, for sex work. But then later, when I turned Vincent in, Miranda wanted to make it seem like she was trying to expose him all along, and she needed me to say that I was a part of that. But you weren't planning on exposing him you were there for the money. Yes, I was, until I saw what he wanted me to do. What
was that? He wanted me to create a digital skin to appear younger. Impersonating a minor is not technically illegal? No, it's not. But, you know, somebody should really look into that. I don't know. Do you know any good branches of the government? Look, you right. Okay. Asking me to screw him while looking like a minor isn't technically illegal, but what he showed me on his laptop, that was fucked up. So, I kind of knew that he was
probably sitting on some more than just your basic, perfect bullshit. Hence the anonymous call. Hence. When Miranda asked you to come forward, what did she offer you was compensation? She said she'd make me partner. Wow. Generous. If that's something you're interested in. But you weren't. Not really. So instead, you called in a bomb threat, accessed sensitive company files and leaked the personal information of over 10 million ad-luesome OIS subscribers.
Yes, including my own. The information you leaked that day was between a car and its client. Your name was never divulged. Not technically. No, but I did come forward and say publicly that I was Shane's car. After you leaked the files. You've had seven years to go to the police. Why now? Because I respect people's privacy and I didn't want to do you. Yes. Look, I'm not proud of how long this took me, but I've been having
reservations about the work for a very long time. What's a long time? Since Shane. Eventually, I realized Luceon was causing more harm than good and I was done being a part of the thing that hurt people. Explain to me how leaking the private conversations of millions of people is less destructive than being a car. The commodification of human beings, friendships, romantic relationships. I couldn't stand by that anymore. But using car for sex work, you were fine
with that? Only at first. But then I- Do you know about the clients who were receiving totalage in psychiatric support? Do you think Kara was hurting them? When Miranda was going to release, presence, it would have changed the way human beings interact with one another on a cellular level. Miranda wanted to alter the course of human history. So you altered it first. And remind me, how many civil lawsuits are you currently facing? I don't
know the exact number. Well, I hope it was worth it. It was. Sorry? I said it was worth it. I think that's all for today. Hey, Ed Luceon listeners.

Trying to project from your power but something that struck in the lens, I think. I thought I threw that thing out. Most people had. Where have you been? Are you okay? I'm alright. Thank you. Where are you? I can't tell you that. Okay, well, if my lawyer has asked me if I've seen you, I'm going to. I know. Hello? You destroyed my company. And for what? Francis was lying. There was never any bomb. It doesn't matter. We were ruining people's lives by giving them cars. Who's lives were we ruining?
I'm not doing this with you. Okay, I'm not explaining why I did the right thing. You're still protecting her? You haven't said a word about her publicly. Yeah, and I won't. Because you're a part of her cult? No, Jesus, it's not a cult. There are a bunch of fucking luttites, but they might be right about a few things, alright? So you are a believer. I'm not. I'm just... Look, I don't know where she is or what she's planning. So that's why you're here Miranda.
No, no, no, Francis is dangerous. Maybe she was bluffing, but what if the next time it's real? You scared because she's capable of destroying another company. You just pissed off because she destroyed yours. I'm not here to argue with you. I'm here to learn what I can about this case. The one against you? Against Lucim. Well, according to my cool new ankle jewelry, it kind of feels like it's just me.
Because I'm being interrogated every day in a middle box, and you are in some cosy fucking chalet and Switzerland or some shit. Switzerland has an extradition treat. Yeah, I know you're not in Switzerland. It's a goddamn metaphor. They're historically neutral. I got it. I take the fall for this Miranda. All of it, if you don't come back. It was your choice to leak the nest. Yeah, and it was your choice to aid in a better rapist. Don't hide from this.
You said you wanted to run this company with me as partners. This is what it is. This is the shit we did. Stand with me and own it. Maybe there's something on the other side. Why are you doing this? Because... I lied to a lot of people for a long time. I pretended and I lied for their money. And I can't do that anymore. That's never what I wanted Cara to be. What did you want it to be then? A way to be with someone I loved. Maybe you can still do that. I can't. He's gone. I have to go.
God, don't make me do this alone. I'll call you again. Please don't. Don't go. Don't! You're not alone. I'm not alone. I'm not alone.
