"[ Gasps ]" "Just tell me... am I dreaming now, or was I just dreaming then?" "Which answer gets you down here with me?" "[ Breathing shakily ]" "You know, they say... they say you can't die in your dreams." "It's just..." "you just wake up." "[ Breathing heavily ]" "I just want to wake up, Patience." "[ Exhales slowly ]" "It's not actually always the case." "I am tired." "I am so..." "[ Sighs ]" "So tired." "[ Sniffles ]" "[ Voice breaking ] I just..." "[ Crying ]" "I just want to wake up." "No, wait!" "Stop!" "[ Panting ]" "Why?" "!" "Because... because you're not dreaming, okay?" "If you step off that ledge, you're gonna die." "What?" "What's the problem?" "I thought you were hacked into the security system." "Hardison:" "No, it's a machine lock." "What the hell are you doing?" "I'm hacking." "Well, stop it!" "Just... step back." "She's on the roof with the guy we just spent the last four days driving crazy." "Well, I'm not happy about it, either, but we just... we have to trust that Parker's gonna see it through to the end." "No." "This is... this is a dream." "It's my dream." "It's a lucid dream." "I can't get hurt." " It's a dream." "It's my dream." "It's a lucid dream." " Charlie, listen to me!" "You're not dreaming, okay?" "I can't get hurt." "Just step on down off that ledge." "Don't." "Don't." "Please don't..." "don't come any closer." "Okay." "Please." "I don't..." "I'm not gonna do anything." "Okay?" "I promise." " I promise." " Okay." "Okay." "I'm gonna sit down here next to you, okay?" "[ Breathing shakily ]" "Hey." "Look at me." "I'm not gonna do anything, okay?" "It's all right." "It's all right." "Just stay back." "No!" "Aah!" "[ Grunts ]" "Let me go." "Just let me go." "[ Strained ] Keep squirming, it won't be up to me!" "It's a dream." "It's a dream." "It's got to be a dream." "I swear to God, Charlie, it is not." "I promise you, okay?" "Patience, let me go." "I'm not doing that." "I'll fall, and I'll wake up, and maybe..." "And maybe you'll still maybe you'll still be alive, too." "[ Both grunting ]" "I'm not Patience!" "Patience is dead, okay?" "!" "She's dead, and it sucks, and that's the way it is!" "[ Groans ]" "But you're alive!" "You're here!" "[ Both breathing heavily ]" "You don't und..." "you don't understand." "She was the only one who..." "I'm alone." "I don't understand?" "I had somebody." "I lost someone once, okay?" "And I thought I was alone, too." "But you know what?" "I wasn't." "People thought I was crazy, but I never was." "I-I never was, and neither are you." "And you're not alone." "Your own people sent us because they care about you." "I ne..." "[ Crying ]" "I never wanted any of this." "I just..." "I didn't want the business or the legacy." "I just wanted..." "I just..." "I just wanted to make things." "What happened to Patience wasn't your fault." "But what happens next is." "It's your life, Charlie." "It's your choice." "Make something." "But nobody's seen Charles for a week." "Bright side..." "No one's been fired in a week, and the business hasn't gone up for auction." "Now, Parker was the last one with him." "Um..." "Parker?" "She's not here." "Yeah, we can see that." "Where is she?" "Said she wanted to go see the Finns." "I'll pull it up." "[ Keyboard clacking, computer beeping ]" "He's doing it." "This is it." "He's selling to the Finnish car company." "Dodgson:" "My grandfather founded this company in 1937." "Welcome to Dodgson Energetics." "Follow me, please." "He passed it on to my father." "When he died, it came to me." "My grandfather's motto..." "Watch your step." "Was "Keep Moving Forward."" "My father thought that meant" ""keep moving forward to the bank."" "My dad was... kind of a jerk." "To him, this... this place was just a cash box." "But to me, it was a playground." "It was church." "When I took over..." "Well, I wanted to do a lot." "And I kind of lost sight of that." "And I hurt people... you." "I hurt you." "And I'm sorry for that." "Believe me, if I could go back in time and change it, I would, but I guess we all have regrets." "But recently, I had a..." "I guess you'd call it an intervention." "Somebody reminded me..." "[ Crowd murmuring ]" "Hey!" "The Finns!" "Well, thank you for coming." "You, uh, your timing is impeccable." "Have I got something to show you." "You're gonna love this." "[ Murmuring continues ]" "[ Sighs ]" "[ Chains jangle ]" "Everybody, come in." "Come on." "Gather around." "[ Machine powering up ]" "So, someone reminded me..." "That we can't change the past..." "But we can make the future." "So, I would like to announce our partnership with Aurinko Motors." "[ Crowd murmurs ]" "Because their new hybrid city car is gonna need something to make it go." "So..." "We need a lot more hands around here." "[ Cheers and applause ]" "Why the long face?" "Oh, just... sorting stuff." "Yeah, so, the con failed..." "technically." "[ Scoffs ] The con didn't fail." "The con worked." "If by "worked," you mean "completely fell apart."" "Huh?" "[ Scoffs ]" "Sorry... which one of us is the grifter?" "I'm telling you..." "We pulled off the white rabbit successfully." "Pulled off the white rabbit..." "How so?" "Well, the white rabbit is about taking the truth, what's underneath, and... and bringing it out." "And not breaking the mark in the process." "Every grift is an exchange." "The trick is to give enough to hold them up, but not so much that you get pulled over with him." "Parker, huh?" "Parker." "We good?" "You tell us." "Yeah." "We're good."
