Scene 1: Jon's apartment

[Arbiter is seen sitting in the bathtub, depressed. He takes a drink of liquor and sets the bottle down. He continues staring at Greg's note].

ARBITER:  [long beat] Fuck.

[Cut to Chief smoking in the window with "Cortana" nearby]

• Cortana:"Our primary concern should be ensuring the safety of that young boy, followed by having Colin -- 'the coolest friend you've ever made friends with' -- buried under the farthest prison. Do you know where he lives?
• Chief:"states sumwere / y?
• Cortana: Which one?
• Chief:"united states of the mericas, i just fucking said / pull the dicks out of ur ears
• Cortana:"Yes, Chief. The United States. An unity of fifty. I'm asking you in which one of those Colin resides. What's condsidered a punishable offense for innapropriatly engaging children online can vary by jurisdiction. In some, I believe an arrest merely requires the solicitation of sex over the internet. [beat] "Solicitation" being a fancy word for asking something from somebody.
• Chief:">:D [mischievious face]

Scene 2: Boardwalk

[Peter is seen running into a courtyard area. He fires a few shots and turns to see Chief waiting for him]

• Chief:"hey kid / peter, rite? u doesnt knew me, but we gots something 2 talked about

[Chief approaches Peter]

• Chief:" IM W/ THE CYBER POLICE / special n33ds division / heard u talking 2 a dude early the other mornings / alien / rangers model / stayed away from him / k? i meaned it / hes bad news / srsly / [beat] >:I [serious face] / k?"

• Chief:"gud / and make it snappy, dont fuck around / NAO B33T IT / kthxbai

[Peter walks away from Chief]

• Chief:"AND STOPPED TALKING 2 CHILDREN MOLESTERS / not being raped ackshully isnt t00 bad, u stupid c██t

Scene 3: Jon's Apartment

[The Xbox headsets light is seen still green. Chief and Cortana are seen at the game chair]

• Cortana:"A little more decorum would have been nice -- but I'm proud of you all the same, Chief. We're making progress.
• Chief:"dude, i just saved a kid / chix dig that shit, rite? think i could used that 2 gots sum pu$$y online? leegil of coarse / baerly / ;) [winky face]"
• Cortana: Spoke too soon.

[Arbiter enters the room]

ARBITER: Chief, I've been thinking. That boy you overheard speaking with Colin -- he should be in your recent players list. You should-

• Chief: way ahead of u, queef sniffer -- kids safe / told him 2 stayed the fuck away from colin"

ARBITER: Really? That's great. Good thinking, man. Come down here and sit with me, will you? We've gotta talk about something.

[Arbiter sits down. Chief gets off the chair and joins him]

• Chief:"what? finally got ur period?"

ARBITER: We can't be associated with Eugene and the others anymore. The three of them have crossed the line. We're supporting their recent behavior if we don't distance ourselves. You must agree, the former's not an option.

• Cortana: Halleluiah.

ARBITER: I've spent the majority of this joke we call a life living by something of a moral standard. Even if there's nothing waiting for us on the other side, I've decided I don't want to tarnish that streak by living my final days a monster.

[beat]

• Chief: [looks down] colin can go fuck a duck as far im concerned / all the ducks / as long as their 18, lol / as foar tyler, hes always b33n kind of an asshole / i could t00k him or left him / butt eugenes b33n alright until just the other days / him and tyler are the only ppls in the whole entire world whos ever liked meh / [beat] :( [sad face]

ARBITER: You and I are in the same boat. Just because I'm suggesting defection, doesn't make me a fan of it. Eugene's not a friend worth having, Chief. He doesn't deserve either of us.

• Cortana: He's right, Chief. Can't believe I'm saying that.
• Chief:"i doesnt cared who it is or what theyve done / i just wanted 1, u know? / just 1.

ARBITER: I know. And you've got one.

• Chief:"homo. / lol

ARBITER: I also propose we use Fragban to brick him and the others.

• Chief:"damn, bro / u crazy / u sure? wouldnt that made us huge ass hippopotacrites, tho?"

ARBITER: They need to be stopped from causing more damage. We should have never involved ourselves with the software. It was a steep drop for us from there. I don't know about you, but I'm nauseated by the fact that I found joy in bricking consoles. The network administration may be able to develop a software update to nullify Fragban's effects if we send it to them -- but there's no telling how long that'll take. Eugene, Tyler and Colin will be Fragban's last victims. The five of us are the only ones with the patch and online access. Afterwards, we'll send the files to the authorities anonymously and destroy our copy. Remember that Chaos Theosis farce?

• Chief:"rofl / the shit list?

ARBITER: Exactly. It'll be like that. Taking out the network's trash. One last job. We have chance here to make a significant positive impact with what little remains of our lives. Fuck it, man -- let's take it. Let's go out in a blaze of glory.

[Chief walks towards Arbiter]

• Chief:"just answered me 1 single quest chins, arbitur / will we get all the bitches?

ARBITER: All the bitches, Chief. Every last one of them.

[Chief extends his fist]

• Chief:"pound it

[Arbiter gets up and bro fists Chief]

ARBITER: Get comfy. I'll grab us a couple of beers. We're gonna need a plan.

[Arbiter walks away]

• Cortana: I know you're hurting, Chief -- but you're doing the right thing. And I know you want me gone -- but if you find yourself in desperate need of a second friend, feel free to find one in me.
