Allton: Oh....that's easy. Fuck shit up. Create headlines! The media is aaaaaaaaaaaall over OCW right now. So we make some noise!
Zybala: That's not very British of you.
Allton: Trust me. We're not all tea and crumpets at 4oClock. Although I do love my PG Tips tea. But that's irrelevant. Point is: Manners are out the window. Decorum is out the window. If Marcus Welsh was any kind of friend, he'd see us immediately. Now we're going to make time for him.

Jock Reasoning steps back inside with the security team.
Jock Reasoning: Great job, guys. We might need you out on the island later this summer.
They look confused. Jock just laughs.
Jock Reasoning: Alright, you guys maintain a perimeter. Welsh told me Zybala and Allton aren't the types to go quietly. Need to make sure they don't get in here and disrupt things while we're showing this place off to potential buyers.

Back in Allton's office, Zybala slyly looks around the doorway to see if the coast is clear. It appears to be. Allton is at his desk on his laptop. He has the security camera feed. He can hear Reasoning tell security to fan out.
Zybala: Coast is clear. Let's go!
Allton: Hold a moment, Mike. Reasoning betrayed us - naturally. He's telling security to look for us as we speak. But now that we know they're coming, we can prepare.

Zybala: I could give Alice a call. Let her gather her homeless army to wander the halls again. They usually deter new buyers. That may give us some time to get our lawyers to get to the bottom of this.
Zybala: Good point. I'm just a bit scrambled brain lately. With the baby due soon, and now Marcus trying to sell OUR company out from underneath us, everything is a whirl. But I don't need a coherent brain to kick some ass!

Allton: Speaking of kicking ass, do you hear that?
Down the hall, Zybala and Allton can hear what sounds like Lissandra talking to someone.
Lissandra: Yeah, I know. I don't believe what Marcus Welsh is trying to do. I just wish Rob and Mike were here to do something about it. As the new GM of Equality I'm here to oversee things while Rob isn't here but...damn I wish he was. I'm just going past his office now. Yeah, I'll talk to you later Roxxie.
Zybala: What the actuall fuck?! Security let HER in and not us?! Nothing against Lissie, but I think as OWNERS, we would rate hire than a GM. Jeez, I'm starting to think about blow this place up and collect on the insurance...

Allton: Quite.
Lissandra looks on her phone, solemn about her phone call when suddenly, going past Allton's office she hears a 'psst!' But she can't see anybody in the office until an arm grabs her from the side of the door covering her mouth.
Lissandra: Mmph! mmph!!
The arm drags her into the office and the door shuts. The arm releases her and Lissandra spins around to find Zybala standing there. Allton was on the other side of the door and had shut the door.
Lissandra: Rob?! Mike??! What the hell?!!
Allton: My dear, keep your voice down!
Lissandra: You grabbed me, Mike! What the fuck!
Allton: Lissandra, please! Later!
Suddenly it dawns on Lissandra the gravity and haste of Allton's words.
Lissandra: Wait. What are you doing here? I thought I saw you guys walk away from the building? Don't get me wrong, I'm glad you're here....but....
Allton: Quite so. But we got back in, clearly. What are you doing here anyway?
Lissandra: I've been here for a few days getting things ready for Equality.
Allton: So Welsh and Mr. Reasoning?
Lissandra:.....Started the press conference downstairs yeah. They don't know I was here.

Jock Reasoning receives a call.
Jock Reasoning: Yes? Of course, this is JOCK Reasoning. Survivor host, yes. I'm going to be hosting the tours for all prospective buyers, yes.
Jock listens.
Jock Reasoning: Oh, we do? They're here? Nice.
Jock hangs up.
Jock Reasoning: Alright, security...high alert. We've got some buyers outside and I've got to show them around. We can't have any wild Zybalas or angry Alltons around to blow this potential deal. These guys are serious buyers. Let's get to it!

Back in Allton's office...
Allton: Lissie, you're a lawyer. Is any of what Welsh and Reasoning are doing legit? Can you look into it?
Lissandra: I've been trying to, when not getting Equality ready. But I'm not getting very far. Can you get me to Welsh's office? I might be able to find something.
Allton looks at Zybala with a smile.
