text: The film opens with the rabid ranting and raving of Arthur Eden's (Tom Wilkinson). Most of this speech is rambling and babbling. He begins talking about how one day he was leaving work and he walked out into the street into traffic and suddenly he found he could not move, even though there was traffic incoming. Essentially he tells us he was frozen in a moment of utter consternation brought on by the shambles he has made of his life doing what it is that he does. His work as an attorney helping a corrupt company defend the indefensible has left him where must break the shackles with his old life and try something new. In an office a legal team of dozens of people are diligently taking phone calls, shedding documents, comparing notes, etc. A lawyer talking to a reporter on the phone and walks over to Marty Bach (Sydney Pollack) and hands him the phone. He tells Bach that it's a reporter from the Wall Street Journal inquiring about the "settlement". Bach looks infuriated but takes the phone. He simply tells the reporter that "U-North is not settling at this time" and that nothing has changed in the legal case. The reporter remains dubious, but Bach says he does not care and simply hangs up the phone. Bach then asks about where Crowder went to. We then see Karen Crowder (Tilda Swinton) in the bathroom having what looks like a panic attack.The film cuts to a card game where we see Michael Clayton (George Clooney) at the table with a handful of other men. One of the men recognizes Clayton. He tells Clayton he knows him from a game they played some years back. Clayton looks up and admits he recognizes him. The player says he won a whole bunch of money off Clayton. The player continues to brag about winning a whole bunch of cash off Clayton and it clearly annoys him. Clayton says "I see you've bought some hair since then", but the other gambler retorts, "Yeah, with your money." Clayton leaves.Clayton is sent by a legal friend of his to the house of a man who desperately needs legal counsel. Clayton learns that the man hit a pedestrian and may have killed him earlier that night. Clayton explains to the man and his wife that his options are limited. Even though it may have been an accident, there are all sorts of variables that could affect the criminality of the case. Clayton tells the man he needs to find a good trial lawyer, because he is going to need one. The man becomes irate and asks, "What the hell are you supposed to be?" He wants to know why Clayton can't be his lawyer and he tells Clayton that he was promised a "miracle worker". Clayton tells him that is not the case. He explains what he does by calling himself a "janitor". Clayton is an overall strategic legal adviser. He has a tremendous acumen for understanding how to plan and execute a legal defense from start to finish even though he actually does not lead any of it. He merely advises. Clayton finally realizes there is nothing more he can give the man and leaves.As Clayton is driving he notices his car's GPS system is behaving erratically. As Clayton drives an intriguing sight catches his eye. He sees three horses standing on a hilltop together by themselves. Clayton is so captivated by this event he stops the car. Clayton approaches the horses and is fascinated by their presence in the middle of nowhere. Clayton's car suddenly explodes behind him and the horses charge off. Clayton is stunned and petrified for a few moments as he looks at the flaming wreck. When he finally regains his wits he runs away.The film cuts to four days earlier ......Clayton's son Henry (Austin Williams) is getting ready to go to school. Clayton is divorced from his wife and his son lives with her and his step-dad. Henry leaves the house and joins Clayton in his car. Clayton drives Henry to school. On the way Henry tells Clayton about all the fantasy novels he likes to read. He describes how the current one is about a bunch of characters that are in a universe where they each have a nemesis, but don't know who that person is so they can't trust anyone and just live for themselves. Clayton laughs and says, "That sounds familiar", obviously alluding to his own legal work.We next see Crowder, who is a head executive for U-North, is a tremendously large, corporate agricultural conglomerate that creates various types of substances to help better cultivate land for farming. As we observer her, the film cuts back and forth between her giving an interview on camera with her boss Don Jefferies (Ken Howard) and Crowder anxiously rehearsing the interview in her hotel room as she tries to prepare herself for it. The subject of Crowder's interview is about how she is taking Jefferies' old job as one of the head corporate managers. As she is giving the interview, an assistant walks in and interrupts them with what clearly appears to be a urgent matter. She tells them that Eden just stripped down in the middle of a deposition for their current legal battle. This is a dire matter, because Eden is handling the legal defense for this case involving a weed killer which is potentially toxic and lethal which stands to lose U-North billions of dollars.We then cut back to Clayton who is visiting an older man. The man is a "Bookmaker" who takes bets and handles local gambling operations. We learn of Clayton's severe gambling addiction. Clayton is in debt for a massive amount of money to the gamblers. He has sold off much of his possessions, but yet still is approximately $80,000 short of what he needs to settle his debt. The man tells Clayton that he had better pay up in a week or the consequences could be catastrophic.Clayton gets in contact with the head of his legal firm, Marty Bach. Bach informs Clayton of the situation with Arthur Eden who also works for the firm. Bach tells him of the disastrous ramifications of Eden's mental breakdown. Clayton says that Eden's episode is understandable given the amount of time and energy Eden has invested into this case. He basically says that for the last decade Eden has basically "lived" this case and his life is tumultuous and fractured because of it. This case is in many ways just as big of a deal for the legal firm as it is for U-North, because it coincides with a vital impending merger with a London-based firm. Clayton then agrees to head to Minnesota to meet with Eden who is currently being held in a police station.As Clayton arrives at the station we hear Crowder (who is at one of the U-North offices) discussing with some of her assistants Clayton's background. She learns from documents that Clayton used to be a major criminal prosecutor, but now has been seemingly relegated to a more menial task of handling "wills and trusts". Crowder seems baffled that Michael is the one being sent to handle the crisis with Eden. As she has been saying all this, we are watching Clayton arrive at the station and visiting Eden in a holding cell. He meets with Eden and learn more about Eden's crazed rambling from the start of the film. As Eden finishes his lengthy and deranged claims, Clayton becomes completely livid and says, "You stopped taking your pills again? Didn't you?", as he shows him the still clearly full bottle.Eden says he is no longer going to be a slave to his medication and that his eyes have been opened by a woman who is one of the plaintiffs in the lawsuit against U-North named Anna. He claims that Anna is a beautiful, kind, and graceful soul and that he refuses to assist in the defense of a product against her and all the other people involved in the law suit knowing that it has really is a killer and how much pain it has caused them. Clayton can clearly see how grievous the situation is. Eden is potentially infatuated with one of the people he is supposed to be defending U-North from and may have caused irreparable damage to the suit in the process. He tries to remind Eden of his responsibilities and what he means to the firm, but Eden only responds to this by proclaiming, "I am Shiva The God of Death!". Realizing that Eden is incorrigible at this point and is causing a scene at the precinct which could potentially make things even worse than they are, Clayton persuades Eden to leave with him and return to his hotel room.The next day Clayton meets with Crowder who is extremely upset over all that has transpired with Eden. Clayton reassures Crowder that all will be fine. He tells her that Eden does have a history of mental illness, but that it has been largely regulated in recent years. He tells her that his last episode was several years ago and that it was not a major issue and Eden was able to continue his war largely unhindered. Clayton reminds Crowder how hard U-North has been pushing him on this case and how he has been near singularly devoted to this case for a long time now. Crowder however, seems full of antipathy over Clayton's claims and says that U-North has been paying Clayton's legal firm a very lucrative sum for Eden's time. Clayton simply reassures her that he will straighten Eden out and everything will return to its previous status. Crowder however, seems completely dubious about this.We then see Crowder back at the U-North office watching a videotape of Eden's episode from the deposition. Everything is going routinely until Eden suddenly stands up and begins spouting a bunch of rhetoric in a obstreperous tone about how Anna was right and how wrong he was. He tells her he doesn't want to continue this charade any longer. As he is saying all this he is stripping off all his clothes. The tape finally ends and we are informed that Eden then followed Anna into the parking lot outside totally naked. Crowder is deeply mortified and aghast as she realizes how damaging this tape could be to further legal proceedings. Especially given how Eden seemingly admits to U-Norths guilt in the case.The scene shifts back again to Eden in the hotel room at night, who has managed to contact Clayton's son Henry. Henry tells him about another new book he is reading called "Realm & Conquest". He says in this book the characters are experiencing visions of things that would seem too fantastic to possibly be real, but they challenge conventional opinions and choose to believe that these illusions are real and that they must believe in them regardless of what others deem to be true, Naturally Eden hears this books plot and it compels him to do the same and keep believing what he has come view U-North as, a corrupt company attempt to insulate themselves from their crimes.In the morning Eden tells Michael that he should go see Anna and he too will feel stimulated to stop trying to help U-North in perpetuating their lies. Clayton tries to assuage Eden and tells him to just take a shower so they can get ready to return to the legal firm in New York. However, Clayton gets occupied for a second and leaves Eden alone, When he comes back the bathroom door is locked. Clayton can hear the shower running, but when he knocks on the door there is no response. Finally, Clayton kicks the door down to discover Eden has fled. He goes over to the window and sees that Eden has left.Back at U-North Crowder learns of the new situation. We see her sitting at a desk looking over a document with an agitated expression. We see the document she is reading. It is an old scientific report from one of U-North's research teams about the hazardous effects of exposure to the weed killer involved in the law suit. It clearly documents that prolonged exposure to the substance can lead to cancer. As we see Crowder reading this document, she is contacting someone on the phone. It becomes immediately evident from the surreptitious tone of the discussion that this is some sort of private cabal of operatives that U-north uses to deal with problems in all sorts of nefarious ways.Meanwhile, Clayton returns to New York to meet with Bach. Bach is absolutely incensed over what has transpired. He tells Clayton that this affair could mean the end of the firm. He says that if the case goes under that U-North could potentially sue the firm for their legal incompetence and ruin them. With the merger coming the situation is even more grave. Bach asks Clayton why he just didn't have Eden committed in Minnesota and says that would've helped quell the problems for the time being until things could be ameliorated. Clayton tells Bach that it is not that simple and that involuntary commitment to a mental facility is a very arduous procedure. Mary asks Clayton "Well don't we have anyone who knows a lot about these types of commitment cases?". Clayton says yes, but informs Bach that the person who is the expert unfortunately is Eden.Eden has also returned to New York and is now roaming freely. He is living a reclusive lifestyle in a private apartment. However, the men hired by U-North are already watching him. They are tracking his movements around the city, have bugged his phone and are surveilling his actions. All the while they are keeping Crowder abreast of important developments.During this time Michael pays a visit to Anna in an attempt to see if he can gain more information about the case. He arrives at a farm in Minnesota. After introducing himself to the family, he taken to meet the woman with whom Eden has become so enamored Anna (Merritt Wever). Clayton gains some more information about Eden and the case. She seems puzzled as to why Eden seems to have been selected to communicate with her when there are over four hundred other people suing U-North. Anna seems rather oblivious of how personally connected Eden is to her.Soon thereafter Eden again contacts Anna over the telephone. He hints to her that he has more information about her case and he will contact her again in the near future about the matter. Anna still seems perplexed and feels awkward about being contacted by the man formerly leading the U-North defense assisting her.Back in New York Bach notifies Clayton about Eden getting in contact with Anna again. It has now become clear that Eden wont abandon this matter and he sends Clayton to go to Eden's location and try to reason with him one last time.Clayton confronts Eden on the street. Eden seems startled, but greets Clayton. Clayton however, is in no mood for pleasantries and is still enraged over Eden's continuing erratic and irrational behavior. Clayton mentions about Eden going to visit Anna again and how idiotic this was. Eden immediately becomes suspicious of how Clayton could possibly have become privy to a private phone call he made to Anna. He inquires to Clayton about this and Clayton responds that Bach told him. He then accuses U-North and the legal firm of colluding together to tap his phone. Clayton tells Eden this is absolutely preposterous and says the most logical answer is that Anna contacted the police herself after Eden called her. Eden disputes this saying that Anna would never betray him like that, but Michael tells Eden this is lunacy. He says after the crazy antics Eden pulled at the deposition, stripping down before Anna and shouting all sorts of psychotic things, it would only be expected she would contact the police. Eden as previously seems totally innocuous to Clayton's continuing reproach and his attempts to reason with him.Finally Clayton makes threats about the state of Eden's sanity and how his recent behavior could lead to him being hospitalized, but Eden still clearly retains his knowledge of legal matters. He tells Clayton that this is New York and here he has no criminal record or history of threatening behavior both of which are critical for compulsory treatment. He says that now that he is out of Minnesota, that Clayton can no longer use prior incidents there to try and go after him in this state. Clayton finally concedes that he cannot win here and leaves.Later that night Eden is in his apartment. He makes a tape of one of U-Norths commercials. He then plays this tape as he makes a phone call, correctly knowing that the U-North agents are listening. He plays the commercial and then begins reading in a sardonic tone to them the scientific report from earlier in the film. As he reads it, he mocks the company and the consequences the report could have. The agents are shocked to learn that Eden has this document in his possession. The agents meet with Crowder. When she hears the tape she becomes very perturbed. She asks the agents what can be done. They make some suggestions about additional measures, but then Crowder subtly implies she wants them to go much further than just mere subterfuge. U-North agents enter Eden's apartment, drug him, and inject a drug under his toenail, killing him. They then arrange a suicide scene.Michael Clayton is notified about Eden's death at a police station. The police detective tells Clayton that it looks like a possible suicide or accidental overdose. Clayton is confounded and doesn't believe that Eden would kill himself, but the policemen reminds him about Eden s perverse behavior in recent weeks. Clayton asks if he can go to Eden's apartment, but the officer says this is impossible and the place has been sealed. Clayton meets with his fellow legal employees. There he tells Bach that Eden was onto something and Clayton feels it is linked to his death. Clayton tells Bach that he desperately needs a loan. Bach promises Clayton he will look into the loan and given what a valuable asset Clayton has been to the firm he should be able to convince them to help him out. Bach also notifies Clayton that Eden was scheduled to meet with Anna in New York.After contacting Anna's sister and learning of Anna's location Clayton arrives at a hotel where she is staying. Clayton inquires with Anna about the final conversation she and Eden had. Anna says Eden told her he has an item in his possession which could win the case for her. Clayton now becomes more convinced Eden's death was no mere suicide.Clayton goes to a family gathering at his sister's house. His brothers Timmy Clayton (David Lansbury) and Raymond Clayton (Kevin Hagan) are there. Timmy is a recovering substance abuser and the two have a rather uncomfortable confrontation over this, which Clayton's son Henry witnesses. Clayton also talks with his brother Ray (who is a policeman) about needing a possible favor regarding Eden's death. After the party, Clayton talks with Henry and says that his son doesn't have to worry about going astray in life like Timmy did and that he believes in him.Clayton then meets with his brother Ray who provides him with keys to Eden's apartment. Ray reminds Clayton that this is a serious issue and Clayton cannot get caught. Eden's apartment is still watched by the U-North operatives and they watch him enter. Clayton searches Eden's apartment and finds a copy of "Realm and Conquest", the book Clayton's son Henry was reading. When Clayton opens it, a slip of paper falls out. It is a receipt from a copy store which shows Eden ordered copies of a memorandum. Shortly afterward cops arrest Clayton.Raymond gets Clayton out of jail, but is angry because Clayton's illegal entry might be connected to Ray. Clayton tells Ray someone set him up at Eden's place and that they called the cops. Following this Clayton goes to the printing place with Eden's receipt. There he finds out that Eden has ordered 3000 copies of: the confidential U-North report. He tells the clerk to hold onto the documents for him and takes one with him. As he leaves, the U-North operatives arrive and learn about the copies. They then tell Crowder about the copies. She realizes she must do something immediately before Clayton finishes what Eden started.Clayton meets with Bach who gives him a check with the money needed to pay off his gambling debt. With the check, Clayton signs a 3-year contract that binds him to secrecy about past and future events. Clayton visits the man to pay what his gambling debt, and then plays cards in a underground card game for a few minutes. From this point the film recaps the opening moments of the film. Clayton leaving the card game, but this time we also see the U-North agents putting an explosive bomb into his car. Since Clayton leaves the game early they didn't finish hooking the bomb up, which apparently interfered with his GPS signal. The two U-North operatives following him experience difficulty tracking the device's signal. Clayton reverses direction and then takes a side road, and they agents lose him. They trigger the bomb, not knowing Clayton is not in the car. Clayton runs back to the flaming car and throws his wallet, watch and other personal belongings inside. A short time later Clayton's brother Timmy picks him up.The staff at Clayton's law firm is notified of Clayton's supposed death from a car bomb. In a hotel theatre, Crowder presents a case for settling the law suit to U-North executives. She says the timing for a settlement has improved due to recent events and that the cost will be offset by tax benefits. Jefferies asks her to leave while they discuss the proposed settlement. Crowder steps outside and is slack-jawed to see Michael Clayton standing before her, thinking he is dead. Clayton tells her that "Arthur is around here somewhere." He shows Crowder the report and tells her how foolish she was to try and eliminate him. He tells her it would've been far easier and more prudent to just buy him off and tells Crowder he wants "10". Clayton tells her to either pay up or he will go public with the report. Crowder asks him what he wants. She asks him if there "is a number?" She says, "10 million?" He offers 5 to "forget about Eden," which she says would be easier. And then he says the "other 5 is to forget about the other 468 people you knocked off with your weed killer." He forces her to repeat the terms of the bribe, and she tells him, "You have a deal."Jefferies emerges from the conference room and asks Crowder to rejoin the board meeting. She finally agrees to Clayton's terms for the payoff, he promptly responds, "You're so fucked.". Crowder, confused, asks, "You don't want the money?" Clayton says. "Wait, let me get a picture of this!" and takes a picture of her with his cell phone. He then begins to walk away. Jefferies asks who Clayton is, and Clayton responds, quoting Eden, "I am Shiva The God of Death!" Jefferies becomes irate and calls for security to seize Clayton. Crowder slumps to the floor in shock and dismay. A group of police officers walk past Clayton and instead move to arrest Crowder and Jefferies. Clayton asks his brother Ray, "Did you get all that?" Clayton thanks him for helping him out. Clayton walks outside and gets in a taxi. He gives the driver $50 and tells him to "just drive". As the taxi drives away the credits roll.

text: Clayton

text: Clayton

text: Henry

text: tells

text: Clayton

text: about

text: all

text: the

text: fantasy

text: novels

text: he

text: likes

text: to

text: read

text: He

text: describes

text: how

text: the

text: current

text: one

text: is

text: about

text: a

text: bunch

text: of

text: characters

text: that

text: are

text: in

text: a

text: universe

text: where

text: they

text: each

text: have

text: a

text: nemesis

text: but

text: do

text: n't

text: know

text: who

text: that

text: person

text: is

text: so

text: they

text: ca

text: n't

text: trust

text: anyone

text: and

text: just

text: live

text: for

text: themselves

text: Clayton

text: laughs

text: and

text: says

text: That

text: sounds

text: familiar

text: obviously

text: alluding

text: to

text: his

text: own

text: legal

text: work

text: We

text: next

text: see

text: Crowder

text: who

text: is

text: a

text: head

text: executive

text: for

text: U

text: North

text: is

text: a

text: tremendously

text: large

text: corporate

text: agricultural

text: conglomerate

text: that

text: creates

text: various

text: types

text: of

text: substances

text: to

text: help

text: better

text: cultivate

text: land

text: for

text: farming

text: As

text: we

text: observer

text: her

text: the

text: film

text: cuts

text: back

text: and

text: forth

text: between

text: her

text: giving

text: an

text: interview

text: on

text: camera

text: with

text: her

text: boss

text: Don

text: Jefferies

text: Ken

text: Howard

text: and

text: Crowder

text: anxiously

text: rehearsing

text: the

text: interview

text: in

text: her

text: hotel

text: room

text: as

text: she

text: tries

text: to

text: prepare

text: herself

text: for

text: it

text: The

text: subject

text: of

text: Crowder

text: 's

text: interview

text: is

text: about

text: how

text: she

text: is

text: taking

text: Jefferies

text: old

text: job

text: as

text: one

text: of

text: the

text: head

text: corporate

text: managers

text: As

text: she

text: is

text: giving

text: the

text: interview

text: an

text: assistant

text: walks

text: in

text: and

text: interrupts

text: them

text: with

text: what

text: clearly

text: appears

text: to

text: be

text: a

text: urgent

text: matter

text: She

text: tells

text: them

text: that

text: Eden

text: just

text: stripped

text: down

text: in

text: the

text: middle

text: of

text: a

text: deposition

text: for

text: their

text: current

text: legal

text: battle

text: This

text: is

text: a

text: dire

text: matter

text: because

text: Eden

text: is

text: handling

text: the

text: legal

text: defense

text: for

text: this

text: case

text: involving

text: a

text: weed

text: killer

text: which

text: is

text: potentially

text: toxic

text: and

text: lethal

text: which

text: stands

text: to

text: lose

text: U

text: North

text: billions

text: of

text: dollars

text: We

text: then

text: cut

text: back

text: to

text: Clayton

text: who

text: is

text: visiting

text: an

text: older

text: man

text: The

text: man

text: is

text: a

text: Bookmaker

text: who

text: takes

text: bets

text: and

text: handles

text: local

text: gambling

text: operations

text: We

text: learn

text: of

text: Clayton

text: 's

text: severe

text: gambling

text: addiction

text: Clayton

text: is

text: in

text: debt

text: for

text: a

text: massive

text: amount

text: of

text: money

text: to

text: the

text: gamblers

text: He

text: has

text: sold

text: off

text: much

text: of

text: his

text: possessions

text: but

text: yet

text: still

text: is

text: approximately

text: short

text: of

text: what

text: he

text: needs

text: to

text: settle

text: his

text: debt

text: The

text: man

text: tells

text: Clayton

text: that

text: he

text: had

text: better

text: pay

text: up

text: in

text: a

text: week

text: or

text: the

text: consequences

text: could

text: be

text: catastrophic

text: Clayton

text: gets

text: in

text: contact

text: with

text: the

text: head

text: of

text: his

text: legal

text: firm

text: Marty

text: Bach

text: Bach

text: informs

text: Clayton

text: of

text: the

text: situation

text: with

text: Arthur

text: Eden

text: who

text: also

text: works

text: for

text: the

text: firm

text: Bach

text: tells

text: him

text: of

text: the

text: disastrous

text: ramifications

text: of

text: Eden

text: 's

text: mental

text: breakdown

text: Clayton

text: says

text: that

text: Eden

text: 's

text: episode

text: is

text: understandable

text: given

text: the

text: amount

text: of

text: time

text: and

text: energy

text: Eden

text: has

text: invested

text: into

text: this

text: case

text: He

text: basically

text: says

text: that

text: for

text: the

text: last

text: decade

text: Eden

text: has

text: basically

text: lived

text: this

text: case

text: and

text: his

text: life

text: is

text: tumultuous

text: and

text: fractured

text: because

text: of

text: it

text: This

text: case

text: is

text: in

text: many

text: ways

text: just

text: as

text: big

text: of

text: a

text: deal

text: for

text: the

text: legal

text: firm

text: as

text: it

text: is

text: for

text: U

text: North

text: because

text: it

text: coincides

text: with

text: a

text: vital

text: impending

text: merger

text: with

text: a

text: London

text: based

text: firm

text: Clayton

text: then

text: agrees

text: to

text: head

text: to

text: Minnesota

text: to

text: meet

text: with

text: Eden

text: who

text: is

text: currently

text: being

text: held

text: in

text: a

text: police

text: station

text: As

text: Clayton

text: arrives

text: at

text: the

text: station

text: we

text: hear

text: Crowder

text: who

text: is

text: at

text: one

text: of

text: the

text: U

text: North

text: offices

text: discussing

text: with

text: some

text: of

text: her

text: assistants

text: Clayton

text: 's

text: background

text: She

text: learns

text: from

text: documents

text: that

text: Clayton

text: used

text: to

text: be

text: a

text: major

text: criminal

text: prosecutor

text: but

text: now

text: has

text: been

text: seemingly

text: relegated

text: to

text: a

text: more

text: menial

text: task

text: of

text: handling

text: wills

text: and

text: trusts

text: Crowder

text: seems

text: baffled

text: that

text: Michael

text: is

text: the

text: one

text: being

text: sent

text: to

text: handle

text: the

text: crisis

text: with

text: Eden

text: As

text: she

text: has

text: been

text: saying

text: all

text: this

text: we

text: are

text: watching

text: Clayton

text: arrive

text: at

text: the

text: station

text: and

text: visiting

text: Eden

text: in

text: a

text: holding

text: cell

text: He

text: meets

text: with

text: Eden

text: and

text: learn

text: more

text: about

text: Eden

text: 's

text: crazed

text: rambling

text: from

text: the

text: start

text: of

text: the

text: film

text: As

text: Eden

text: finishes

text: his

text: lengthy

text: and

text: deranged

text: claims

text: Clayton

text: becomes

text: completely

text: livid

text: and

text: says

text: You

text: stopped

text: taking

text: your

text: pills

text: again

text: Did

text: n't

text: you

text: as

text: he

text: shows

text: him

text: the

text: still

text: clearly

text: full

text: bottle

text: Eden

text: says

text: he

text: is

text: no

text: longer

text: going

text: to

text: be

text: a

text: slave

text: to

text: his

text: medication

text: and

text: that

text: his

text: eyes

text: have

text: been

text: opened

text: by

text: a

text: woman

text: who

text: is

text: one

text: of

text: the

text: plaintiffs

text: in

text: the

text: lawsuit

text: against

text: U

text: North

text: named

text: Anna

text: He

text: claims

text: that

text: Anna

text: is

text: a

text: beautiful

text: kind

text: and

text: graceful

text: soul

text: and

text: that

text: he

text: refuses

text: to

text: assist

text: in

text: the

text: defense

text: of

text: a

text: product

text: against

text: her

text: and

text: all

text: the

text: other

text: people

text: involved

text: in

text: the

text: law

text: suit

text: knowing

text: that

text: it

text: has

text: really

text: is

text: a

text: killer

text: and

text: how

text: much

text: pain

text: it

text: has

text: caused

text: them

text: Clayton

text: can

text: clearly

text: see

text: how

text: grievous

text: the

text: situation

text: is

text: Eden

text: is

text: potentially

text: infatuated

text: with

text: one

text: of

text: the

text: people

text: he

text: is

text: supposed

text: to

text: be

text: defending

text: U

text: North

text: from

text: and

text: may

text: have

text: caused

text: irreparable

text: damage

text: to

text: the

text: suit

text: in

text: the

text: process

text: He

text: tries

text: to

text: remind

text: Eden

text: of

text: his

text: responsibilities

text: and

text: what

text: he

text: means

text: to

text: the

text: firm

text: but

text: Eden

text: only

text: responds

text: to

text: this

text: by

text: proclaiming

text: I

text: am

text: Shiva

text: The

text: God

text: of

text: Death

text: Realizing

text: that

text: Eden

text: is

text: incorrigible

text: at

text: this

text: point

text: and

text: is

text: causing

text: a

text: scene

text: at

text: the

text: precinct

text: which

text: could

text: potentially

text: make

text: things

text: even

text: worse

text: than

text: they

text: are

text: Clayton

text: persuades

text: Eden

text: to

text: leave

text: with

text: him

text: and

text: return

text: to

text: his

text: hotel

text: room

text: The

text: next

text: day

text: Clayton

text: meets

text: with

text: Crowder

text: who

text: is

text: extremely

text: upset

text: over

text: all

text: that

text: has

text: transpired

text: with

text: Eden

text: Clayton

text: reassures

text: Crowder

text: that

text: all

text: will

text: be

text: fine

text: He

text: tells

text: her

text: that

text: Eden

text: does

text: have

text: a

text: history

text: of

text: mental

text: illness

text: but

text: that

text: it

text: has

text: been

text: largely

text: regulated

text: in

text: recent

text: years

text: He

text: tells

text: her

text: that

text: his

text: last

text: episode

text: was

text: several

text: years

text: ago

text: and

text: that

text: it

text: was

text: not

text: a

text: major

text: issue

text: and

text: Eden

text: was

text: able

text: to

text: continue

text: his

text: war

text: largely

text: unhindered

text: Clayton

text: reminds

text: Crowder

text: how

text: hard

text: U

text: North

text: has

text: been

text: pushing

text: him

text: on

text: this

text: case

text: and

text: how

text: he

text: has

text: been

text: near

text: singularly

text: devoted

text: to

text: this

text: case

text: for

text: a

text: long

text: time

text: now

text: Crowder

text: however

text: seems

text: full

text: of

text: antipathy

text: over

text: Clayton

text: 's

text: claims

text: and

text: says

text: that

text: U

text: North

text: has

text: been

text: paying

text: Clayton

text: 's

text: legal

text: firm

text: a

text: very

text: lucrative

text: sum

text: for

text: Eden

text: 's

text: time

text: Clayton

text: simply

text: reassures

text: her

text: that

text: he

text: will

text: straighten

text: Eden

text: out

text: and

text: everything

text: will

text: return

text: to

text: its

text: previous

text: status

text: Crowder

text: however

text: seems

text: completely

text: dubious

text: about

text: this

text: We

text: then

text: see

text: Crowder

text: back

text: at

text: the

text: U

text: North

text: office

text: watching

text: a

text: videotape

text: of

text: Eden

text: 's

text: episode

text: from

text: the

text: deposition

text: Everything

text: is

text: going

text: routinely

text: until

text: Eden

text: suddenly

text: stands

text: up

text: and

text: begins

text: spouting

text: a

text: bunch

text: of

text: rhetoric

text: in

text: a

text: obstreperous

text: tone

text: about

text: how

text: Anna

text: was

text: right

text: and

text: how

text: wrong

text: he

text: was

text: He

text: tells

text: her

text: he

text: does

text: n't

text: want

text: to

text: continue

text: this

text: charade

text: any

text: longer

text: As

text: he

text: is

text: saying

text: all

text: this

text: he

text: is

text: stripping

text: off

text: all

text: his

text: clothes

text: The

text: tape

text: finally

text: ends

text: and

text: we

text: are

text: informed

text: that

text: Eden

text: then

text: followed

text: Anna

text: into

text: the

text: parking

text: lot

text: outside

text: totally

text: naked

text: Crowder

text: is

text: deeply

text: mortified

text: and

text: aghast

text: as

text: she

text: realizes

text: how

text: damaging

text: this

text: tape

text: could

text: be

text: to

text: further

text: legal

text: proceedings

text: Especially

text: given

text: how

text: Eden

text: seemingly

text: admits

text: to

text: U

text: Norths

text: guilt

text: in

text: the

text: case

text: The

text: scene

text: shifts

text: back

text: again

text: to

text: Eden

text: in

text: the

text: hotel

text: room

text: at

text: night

text: who

text: has

text: managed

text: to

text: contact

text: Clayton

text: 's

text: son

text: Henry

text: Henry

text: tells

text: him

text: about

text: another

text: new

text: book

text: he

text: is

text: reading

text: called

text: Realm

text: Conquest

text: He

text: says

text: in

text: this

text: book

text: the

text: characters

text: are

text: experiencing

text: visions

text: of

text: things

text: that

text: would

text: seem

text: too

text: fantastic

text: to

text: possibly

text: be

text: real

text: but

text: they

text: challenge

text: conventional

text: opinions

text: and

text: choose

text: to

text: believe

text: that

text: these

text: illusions

text: are

text: real

text: and

text: that

text: they

text: must

text: believe

text: in

text: them

text: regardless

text: of

text: what

text: others

text: deem

text: to

text: be

text: true

text: Naturally

text: Eden

text: hears

text: this

text: books

text: plot

text: and

text: it

text: compels

text: him

text: to

text: do

text: the

text: same

text: and

text: keep

text: believing

text: what

text: he

text: has

text: come

text: view

text: U

text: North

text: as

text: a

text: corrupt

text: company

text: attempt

text: to

text: insulate

text: themselves

text: from

text: their

text: crimes

text: In

text: the

text: morning

text: Eden

text: tells

text: Michael

text: that

text: he

text: should

text: go

text: see

text: Anna

text: and

text: he

text: too

text: will

text: feel

text: stimulated

text: to

text: stop

text: trying

text: to

text: help

text: U

text: North

text: in

text: perpetuating

text: their

text: lies

text: Clayton

text: tries

text: to

text: assuage

text: Eden

text: and

text: tells

text: him

text: to

text: just

text: take

text: a

text: shower

text: so

text: they

text: can

text: get

text: ready

text: to

text: return

text: to

text: the

text: legal

text: firm

text: in

text: New

text: York

text: However

text: Clayton

text: gets

text: occupied

text: for

text: a

text: second

text: and

text: leaves

text: Eden

text: alone

text: When

text: he

text: comes

text: back

text: the

text: bathroom

text: door

text: is

text: locked

text: Clayton

text: can

text: hear

text: the

text: shower

text: running

text: but

text: when

text: he

text: knocks

text: on

text: the

text: door

text: there

text: is

text: no

text: response

text: Finally

text: Clayton

text: kicks

text: the

text: door

text: down

text: to

text: discover

text: Eden

text: has

text: fled

text: He

text: goes

text: over

text: to

text: the

text: window

text: and

text: sees

text: that

text: Eden

text: has

text: left

text: Back

text: at

text: U

text: North

text: Crowder

text: learns

text: of

text: the

text: new

text: situation

text: We

text: see

text: her

text: sitting

text: at

text: a

text: desk

text: looking

text: over

text: a

text: document

text: with

text: an

text: agitated

text: expression

text: We

text: see

text: the

text: document

text: she

text: is

text: reading

text: It

text: is

text: an

text: old

text: scientific

text: report

text: from

text: one

text: of

text: U

text: North

text: 's

text: research

text: teams

text: about

text: the

text: hazardous

text: effects

text: of

text: exposure

text: to

text: the

text: weed

text: killer

text: involved

text: in

text: the

text: law

text: suit

text: It

text: clearly

text: documents

text: that

text: prolonged

text: exposure

text: to

text: the

text: substance

text: can

text: lead

text: to

text: cancer

text: As

text: we

text: see

text: Crowder

text: reading

text: this

text: document

text: she

text: is

text: contacting

text: someone

text: on

text: the

text: phone

text: It

text: becomes

text: immediately

text: evident

text: from

text: the

text: surreptitious

text: tone

text: of

text: the

text: discussion

text: that

text: this

text: is

text: some

text: sort

text: of

text: private

text: cabal

text: of

text: operatives

text: that

text: U

text: north

text: uses

text: to

text: deal

text: with

text: problems

text: in

text: all

text: sorts

text: of

text: nefarious

text: ways

text: Meanwhile

text: Clayton

text: returns

text: to

text: New

text: York

text: to

text: meet

text: with

text: Bach

text: Bach

text: is

text: absolutely

text: incensed

text: over

text: what

text: has

text: transpired

text: He

text: tells

text: Clayton

text: that

text: this

text: affair

text: could

text: mean

text: the

text: end

text: of

text: the

text: firm

text: He

text: says

text: that

text: if

text: the

text: case

text: goes

text: under

text: that

text: U

text: North

text: could

text: potentially

text: sue

text: the

text: firm

text: for

text: their

text: legal

text: incompetence

text: and

text: ruin

text: them

text: With

text: the

text: merger

text: coming

text: the

text: situation

text: is

text: even

text: more

text: grave

text: Bach

text: asks

text: Clayton

text: why

text: he

text: just

text: did

text: n't

text: have

text: Eden

text: committed

text: in

text: Minnesota

text: and

text: says

text: that

text: would

text: 've

text: helped

text: quell

text: the

text: problems

text: for

text: the

text: time

text: being

text: until

text: things

text: could

text: be

text: ameliorated

text: Clayton

text: tells

text: Bach

text: that

text: it

text: is

text: not

text: that

text: simple

text: and

text: that

text: involuntary

text: commitment

text: to

text: a

text: mental

text: facility

text: is

text: a

text: very

text: arduous

text: procedure

text: Mary

text: asks

text: Clayton

text: Well

text: do

text: n't

text: we

text: have

text: anyone

text: who

text: knows

text: a

text: lot

text: about

text: these

text: types

text: of

text: commitment

text: cases

text: Clayton

text: says

text: yes

text: but

text: informs

text: Bach

text: that

text: the

text: person

text: who

text: is

text: the

text: expert

text: unfortunately

text: is

text: Eden

text: Eden

text: has

text: also

text: returned

text: to

text: New

text: York

text: and

text: is

text: now

text: roaming

text: freely

text: He

text: is

text: living

text: a

text: reclusive

text: lifestyle

text: in

text: a

text: private

text: apartment

text: However

text: the

text: men

text: hired

text: by

text: U

text: North

text: are

text: already

text: watching

text: him

text: They

text: are

text: tracking

text: his

text: movements

text: around

text: the

text: city

text: have

text: bugged

text: his

text: phone

text: and

text: are

text: surveilling

text: his

text: actions

text: All

text: the

text: while

text: they

text: are

text: keeping

text: Crowder

text: abreast

text: of

text: important

text: developments

text: During

text: this

text: time

text: Michael

text: pays

text: a

text: visit

text: to

text: Anna

text: in

text: an

text: attempt

text: to

text: see

text: if

text: he

text: can

text: gain

text: more

text: information

text: about

text: the

text: case

text: He

text: arrives

text: at

text: a

text: farm

text: in

text: Minnesota

text: After

text: introducing

text: himself

text: to

text: the

text: family

text: he

text: taken

text: to

text: meet

text: the

text: woman

text: with

text: whom

text: Eden

text: has

text: become

text: so

text: enamored

text: Anna

text: Merritt

text: Wever

text: Clayton

text: gains

text: some

text: more

text: information

text: about

text: Eden

text: and

text: the

text: case

text: She

text: seems

text: puzzled

text: as

text: to

text: why

text: Eden

text: seems

text: to

text: have

text: been

text: selected

text: to

text: communicate

text: with

text: her

text: when

text: there

text: are

text: over

text: four

text: hundred

text: other

text: people

text: suing

text: U

text: North

text: Anna

text: seems

text: rather

text: oblivious

text: of

text: how

text: personally

text: connected

text: Eden

text: is

text: to

text: her

text: Soon

text: thereafter

text: Eden

text: again

text: contacts

text: Anna

text: over

text: the

text: telephone

text: He

text: hints

text: to

text: her

text: that

text: he

text: has

text: more

text: information

text: about

text: her

text: case

text: and

text: he

text: will

text: contact

text: her

text: again

text: in

text: the

text: near

text: future

text: about

text: the

text: matter

text: Anna

text: still

text: seems

text: perplexed

text: and

text: feels

text: awkward

text: about

text: being

text: contacted

text: by

text: the

text: man

text: formerly

text: leading

text: the

text: U

text: North

text: defense

text: assisting

text: her

text: Back

text: in

text: New

text: York

text: Bach

text: notifies

text: Clayton

text: about

text: Eden

text: getting

text: in

text: contact

text: with

text: Anna

text: again

text: It

text: has

text: now

text: become

text: clear

text: that

text: Eden

text: wo

text: nt

text: abandon

text: this

text: matter

text: and

text: he

text: sends

text: Clayton

text: to

text: go

text: to

text: Eden

text: 's

text: location

text: and

text: try

text: to

text: reason

text: with

text: him

text: one

text: last

text: time

text: Clayton

text: confronts

text: Eden

text: on

text: the

text: street

text: Eden

text: seems

text: startled

text: but

text: greets

text: Clayton

text: Clayton

text: however

text: is

text: in

text: no

text: mood

text: for

text: pleasantries

text: and

text: is

text: still

text: enraged

text: over

text: Eden

text: 's

text: continuing

text: erratic

text: and

text: irrational

text: behavior

text: Clayton

text: mentions

text: about

text: Eden

text: going

text: to

text: visit

text: Anna

text: again

text: and

text: how

text: idiotic

text: this

text: was

text: Eden

text: immediately

text: becomes

text: suspicious

text: of

text: how

text: Clayton

text: could

text: possibly

text: have

text: become

text: privy

text: to

text: a

text: private

text: phone

text: call

text: he

text: made

text: to

text: Anna

text: He

text: inquires

text: to

text: Clayton

text: about

text: this

text: and

text: Clayton

text: responds

text: that

text: Bach

text: told

text: him

text: He

text: then

text: accuses

text: U

text: North

text: and

text: the

text: legal

text: firm

text: of

text: colluding

text: together

text: to

text: tap

text: his

text: phone

text: Clayton

text: tells

text: Eden

text: this

text: is

text: absolutely

text: preposterous

text: and

text: says

text: the

text: most

text: logical

text: answer

text: is

text: that

text: Anna

text: contacted

text: the

text: police

text: herself

text: after

text: Eden

text: called

text: her

text: Eden

text: disputes

text: this

text: saying

text: that

text: Anna

text: would

text: never

text: betray

text: him

text: like

text: that

text: but

text: Michael

text: tells

text: Eden

text: this

text: is

text: lunacy

text: He

text: says

text: after

text: the

text: crazy

text: antics

text: Eden

text: pulled

text: at

text: the

text: deposition

text: stripping

text: down

text: before

text: Anna

text: and

text: shouting

text: all

text: sorts

text: of

text: psychotic

text: things

text: it

text: would

text: only

text: be

text: expected

text: she

text: would

text: contact

text: the

text: police

text: Eden

text: as

text: previously

text: seems

text: totally

text: innocuous

text: to

text: Clayton

text: 's

text: continuing

text: reproach

text: and

text: his

text: attempts

text: to

text: reason

text: with

text: him

text: Finally

text: Clayton

text: makes

text: threats

text: about

text: the

text: state

text: of

text: Eden

text: 's

text: sanity

text: and

text: how

text: his

text: recent

text: behavior

text: could

text: lead

text: to

text: him

text: being

text: hospitalized

text: but

text: Eden

text: still

text: clearly

text: retains

text: his

text: knowledge

text: of

text: legal

text: matters

text: He

text: tells

text: Clayton

text: that

text: this

text: is

text: New

text: York

text: and

text: here

text: he

text: has

text: no

text: criminal

text: record

text: or

text: history

text: of

text: threatening

text: behavior

text: both

text: of

text: which

text: are

text: critical

text: for

text: compulsory

text: treatment

text: He

text: says

text: that

text: now

text: that

text: he

text: is

text: out

text: of

text: Minnesota

text: that

text: Clayton

text: can

text: no

text: longer

text: use

text: prior

text: incidents

text: there

text: to

text: try

text: and

text: go

text: after

text: him

text: in

text: this

text: state

text: Clayton

text: finally

text: concedes

text: that

text: he

text: can

text: not

text: win

text: here

text: and

text: leaves

text: Later

text: that

text: night

text: Eden

text: is

text: in

text: his

text: apartment

text: He

text: makes

text: a

text: tape

text: of

text: one

text: of

text: U

text: Norths

text: commercials

text: He

text: then

text: plays

text: this

text: tape

text: as

text: he

text: makes

text: a

text: phone

text: call

text: correctly

text: knowing

text: that

text: the

text: U

text: North

text: agents

text: are

text: listening

text: He

text: plays

text: the

text: commercial

text: and

text: then

text: begins

text: reading

text: in

text: a

text: sardonic

text: tone

text: to

text: them

text: the

text: scientific

text: report

text: from

text: earlier

text: in

text: the

text: film

text: As

text: he

text: reads

text: it

text: he

text: mocks

text: the

text: company

text: and

text: the

text: consequences

text: the

text: report

text: could

text: have

text: The

text: agents

text: are

text: shocked

text: to

text: learn

text: that

text: Eden

text: has

text: this

text: document

text: in

text: his

text: possession

text: The

text: agents

text: meet

text: with

text: Crowder

text: When

text: she

text: hears

text: the

text: tape

text: she

text: becomes

text: very

text: perturbed

text: She

text: asks

text: the

text: agents

text: what

text: can

text: be

text: done

text: They

text: make

text: some

text: suggestions

text: about

text: additional

text: measures

text: but

text: then

text: Crowder

text: subtly

text: implies

text: she

text: wants

text: them

text: to

text: go

text: much

text: further

text: than

text: just

text: mere

text: subterfuge

text: U

text: North

text: agents

text: enter

text: Eden

text: 's

text: apartment

text: drug

text: him

text: and

text: inject

text: a

text: drug

text: under

text: his

text: toenail

text: killing

text: him

text: They

text: then

text: arrange

text: a

text: suicide

text: scene

text: Michael

text: Clayton

text: is

text: notified

text: about

text: Eden

text: 's

text: death

text: at

text: a

text: police

text: station

text: The

text: police

text: detective

text: tells

text: Clayton

text: that

text: it

text: looks

text: like

text: a

text: possible

text: suicide

text: or

text: accidental

text: overdose

text: Clayton

text: is

text: confounded

text: and

text: does

text: n't

text: believe

text: that

text: Eden

text: would

text: kill

text: himself

text: but

text: the

text: policemen

text: reminds

text: him

text: about

text: Eden

text: s

text: perverse

text: behavior

text: in

text: recent

text: weeks

text: Clayton

text: asks

text: if

text: he

text: can

text: go

text: to

text: Eden

text: 's

text: apartment

text: but

text: the

text: officer

text: says

text: this

text: is

text: impossible

text: and

text: the

text: place

text: has

text: been

text: sealed

text: Clayton

text: meets

text: with

text: his

text: fellow

text: legal

text: employees

text: There

text: he

text: tells

text: Bach

text: that

text: Eden

text: was

text: onto

text: something

text: and

text: Clayton

text: feels

text: it

text: is

text: linked

text: to

text: his

text: death

text: Clayton

text: tells

text: Bach

text: that

text: he

text: desperately

text: needs

text: a

text: loan

text: Bach

text: promises

text: Clayton

text: he

text: will

text: look

text: into

text: the

text: loan

text: and

text: given

text: what

text: a

text: valuable

text: asset

text: Clayton

text: has

text: been

text: to

text: the

text: firm

text: he

text: should

text: be

text: able

text: to

text: convince

text: them

text: to

text: help

text: him

text: out

text: Bach

text: also

text: notifies

text: Clayton

text: that

text: Eden

text: was

text: scheduled

text: to

text: meet

text: with

text: Anna

text: in

text: New

text: York

text: After

text: contacting

text: Anna

text: 's

text: sister

text: and

text: learning

text: of

text: Anna

text: 's

text: location

text: Clayton

text: arrives

text: at

text: a

text: hotel

text: where

text: she

text: is

text: staying

text: Clayton

text: inquires

text: with

text: Anna

text: about

text: the

text: final

text: conversation

text: she

text: and

text: Eden

text: had

text: Anna

text: says

text: Eden

text: told

text: her

text: he

text: has

text: an

text: item

text: in

text: his

text: possession

text: which

text: could

text: win

text: the

text: case

text: for

text: her

text: Clayton

text: now

text: becomes

text: more

text: convinced

text: Eden

text: 's

text: death

text: was

text: no

text: mere

text: suicide

text: Clayton

text: goes

text: to

text: a

text: family

text: gathering

text: at

text: his

text: sister

text: 's

text: house

text: His

text: brothers

text: Timmy

text: Clayton

text: David

text: Lansbury

text: and

text: Raymond

text: Clayton

text: Kevin

text: Hagan

text: are

text: there

text: Timmy

text: is

text: a

text: recovering

text: substance

text: abuser

text: and

text: the

text: two

text: have

text: a

text: rather

text: uncomfortable

text: confrontation

text: over

text: this

text: which

text: Clayton

text: 's

text: son

text: Henry

text: witnesses

text: Clayton

text: also

text: talks

text: with

text: his

text: brother

text: Ray

text: who

text: is

text: a

text: policeman

text: about

text: needing

text: a

text: possible

text: favor

text: regarding

text: Eden

text: 's

text: death

text: After

text: the

text: party

text: Clayton

text: talks

text: with

text: Henry

text: and

text: says

text: that

text: his

text: son

text: does

text: n't

text: have

text: to

text: worry

text: about

text: going

text: astray

text: in

text: life

text: like

text: Timmy

text: did

text: and

text: that

text: he

text: believes

text: in

text: him

text: Clayton

text: then

text: meets

text: with

text: his

text: brother

text: Ray

text: who

text: provides

text: him

text: with

text: keys

text: to

text: Eden

text: 's

text: apartment

text: Ray

text: reminds

text: Clayton

text: that

text: this

text: is

text: a

text: serious

text: issue

text: and

text: Clayton

text: can

text: not

text: get

text: caught

text: Eden

text: 's

text: apartment

text: is

text: still

text: watched

text: by

text: the

text: U

text: North

text: operatives

text: and

text: they

text: watch

text: him

text: enter

text: Clayton

text: searches

text: Eden

text: 's

text: apartment

text: and

text: finds

text: a

text: copy

text: of

text: Realm

text: and

text: Conquest

text: the

text: book

text: Clayton

text: 's

text: son

text: Henry

text: was

text: reading

text: When

text: Clayton

text: opens

text: it

text: a

text: slip

text: of

text: paper

text: falls

text: out

text: It

text: is

text: a

text: receipt

text: from

text: a

text: copy

text: store

text: which

text: shows

text: Eden

text: ordered

text: copies

text: of

text: a

text: memorandum

text: Shortly

text: afterward

text: cops

text: arrest

text: Clayton

text: Raymond

text: gets

text: Clayton

text: out

text: of

text: jail

text: but

text: is

text: angry

text: because

text: Clayton

text: 's

text: illegal

text: entry

text: might

text: be

text: connected

text: to

text: Ray

text: Clayton

text: tells

text: Ray

text: someone

text: set

text: him

text: up

text: at

text: Eden

text: 's

text: place

text: and

text: that

text: they

text: called

text: the

text: cops

text: Following

text: this

text: Clayton

text: goes

text: to

text: the

text: printing

text: place

text: with

text: Eden

text: 's

text: receipt

text: There

text: he

text: finds

text: out

text: that

text: Eden

text: has

text: ordered

text: copies

text: of

text: the

text: confidential

text: U

text: North

text: report

text: He

text: tells

text: the

text: clerk

text: to

text: hold

text: onto

text: the

text: documents

text: for

text: him

text: and

text: takes

text: one

text: with

text: him

text: As

text: he

text: leaves

text: the

text: U

text: North

text: operatives

text: arrive

text: and

text: learn

text: about

text: the

text: copies

text: They

text: then

text: tell

text: Crowder

text: about

text: the

text: copies

text: She

text: realizes

text: she

text: must

text: do

text: something

text: immediately

text: before

text: Clayton

text: finishes

text: what

text: Eden

text: started

text: Clayton

text: meets

text: with

text: Bach

text: who

text: gives

text: him

text: a

text: check

text: with

text: the

text: money

text: needed

text: to

text: pay

text: off

text: his

text: gambling

text: debt

text: With

text: the

text: check

text: Clayton

text: signs

text: a

text: contract

text: that

text: binds

text: him

text: to

text: secrecy

text: about

text: past

text: and

text: future

text: events

text: Clayton

text: visits

text: the

text: man

text: to

text: pay

text: what

text: his

text: gambling

text: debt

text: and

text: then

text: plays

text: cards

text: in

text: a

text: underground

text: card

text: game

text: for

text: a

text: few

text: minutes

text: From

text: this

text: point

text: the

text: film

text: recaps

text: the

text: opening

text: moments

text: of

text: the

text: film

text: Clayton

text: leaving

text: the

text: card

text: game

text: but

text: this

text: time

text: we

text: also

text: see

text: the

text: U

text: North

text: agents

text: putting

text: an

text: explosive

text: bomb

text: into

text: his

text: car

text: Since

text: Clayton

text: leaves

text: the

text: game

text: early

text: they

text: did

text: n't

text: finish

text: hooking

text: the

text: bomb

text: up

text: which

text: apparently

text: interfered

text: with

text: his

text: GPS

text: signal

text: The

text: two

text: U

text: North

text: operatives

text: following

text: him

text: experience

text: difficulty

text: tracking

text: the

text: device

text: 's

text: signal

text: Clayton

text: reverses

text: direction

text: and

text: then

text: takes

text: a

text: side

text: road

text: and

text: they

text: agents

text: lose

text: him

text: They

text: trigger

text: the

text: bomb

text: not

text: knowing

text: Clayton

text: is

text: not

text: in

text: the

text: car

text: Clayton

text: runs

text: back

text: to

text: the

text: flaming

text: car

text: and

text: throws

text: his

text: wallet

text: watch

text: and

text: other

text: personal

text: belongings

text: inside

text: A

text: short

text: time

text: later

text: Clayton

text: 's

text: brother

text: Timmy

text: picks

text: him

text: up

text: The

text: staff

text: at

text: Clayton

text: 's

text: law

text: firm

text: is

text: notified

text: of

text: Clayton

text: 's

text: supposed

text: death

text: from

text: a

text: car

text: bomb

text: In

text: a

text: hotel

text: theatre

text: Crowder

text: presents

text: a

text: case

text: for

text: settling

text: the

text: law

text: suit

text: to

text: U

text: North

text: executives

text: She

text: says

text: the

text: timing

text: for

text: a

text: settlement

text: has

text: improved

text: due

text: to

text: recent

text: events

text: and

text: that

text: the

text: cost

text: will

text: be

text: offset

text: by

text: tax

text: benefits

text: Jefferies

text: asks

text: her

text: to

text: leave

text: while

text: they

text: discuss

text: the

text: proposed

text: settlement

text: Crowder

text: steps

text: outside

text: and

text: is

text: slack

text: jawed

text: to

text: see

text: Michael

text: Clayton

text: standing

text: before

text: her

text: thinking

text: he

text: is

text: dead

text: Clayton

text: tells

text: her

text: that

text: Arthur

text: is

text: around

text: here

text: somewhere

text: He

text: shows

text: Crowder

text: the

text: report

text: and

text: tells

text: her

text: how

text: foolish

text: she

text: was

text: to

text: try

text: and

text: eliminate

text: him

text: He

text: tells

text: her

text: it

text: would

text: 've

text: been

text: far

text: easier

text: and

text: more

text: prudent

text: to

text: just

text: buy

text: him

text: off

text: and

text: tells

text: Crowder

text: he

text: wants

text: Clayton

text: tells

text: her

text: to

text: either

text: pay

text: up

text: or

text: he

text: will

Generation P, adapted from Victor Pelevins iconic Russian bestseller, follows the strange adventures of Babylen Tatarsky as he evolves from a disillusioned young man in the drab days of post-Communist Moscow to the chief creative behind the virtual world of Russian politics.
When Babylen was a Young Pioneer, his generation received a gift from the decaying Soviet state in the form of a bottle of Pepsi, of Russian manufacture. Not just a beverage, it was also a symbol of hope that some day a new, magical life would arrive from the other side of the ocean. The arrival of this life, and the way it transformed these ex-Pioneers, is what our film is about. In the early Nineties, Tatarsky, a frustrated poet, takes a job as an advertising copywriter, and discovers a knack for putting a distinctively Russian twist on Western-style ads. But the deeper Tatarsky sinks into the advertising world, the more he wonders if he has sacrificed too much for money. His soaring success leads him into a surreal world of spin doctors, gangsters, drug trips, and the spirit of Che Guevara who, via a Ouija board, imparts to him the dazzling theory of WOWism, about how television destroys the individual spirit. Though named in honor of Lenin, Babylen opts instead to believe in his Babylonian destiny, and secretly searches for the beautiful goddess Ishtar, who becomes for him a symbol of fortune. Meanwhile, the people around Babylen - clients, colleagues - perish in the violent dog-eat-dog world of new Russian capitalism. In Nineties Moscow, this is taken as the ordinary course of daily affairs. Tatarsky is invited to join an all-powerful PR firm run by a cynically ruthless advertising genius, Leonid Azadovsky, who invites Tatarsky to participate in a secret process of rigged elections and false political advertising. And as a result of his brilliance, Tatarsky achieves the ultimate, as he creates and gets elected a "virtual" president. But like Faust selling his soul to the devil, this ex-humanist gradually descends to the level of a reprobate, finding that he no longer belongs to himself, but is trapped in a virtual world of his own creation. Babylen returns to his Buddhist friend Gireyev and takes hallucinogenic mushrooms, in attempt to re-create his previous experience. This time Babylen enters the Babylonian dream that has inhabited his sleep for so long. In a ritualistic Sumerian initiation, Babylen replaces Azadovsky as head of the Agency and becomes the earthly husband of Goddess Ishtar, the object of his obsession. There, he is offered control of the mechanism that produces simple human happiness - and can control the world.
