Despite our general suspicion and disavowal of all extant governing bodies, and despite the fact that you, as an Andromedan, are not subject to the human rights guidelines detailed in the Geneva Conventions, we nevertheless endeavor to adhere to those guidelines out of the humanist principles to which they aspire. 00:21 Bald Woman: What is happening? 00:23 Man in Suit: I'm explaining to you that I would like to keep all of this very aboveboard and civilized, so... 00:30 Bald Woman: Where's my hair? 00:31 Man in Suit: Your hair's been destroyed. The Corporate Hostage Bald Woman: You shaved off my hair? 00:35 Man in Suit: Yes, we've shaved off your hair. 00:37 Bald Woman: Why have you shaved off my hair? 00:39 Man in Suit: To prevent you from contacting your ship. 00:43 Bald Woman: My ship? 00:44 Man in Suit: Your ship. 00:46 Bald Woman: What ship? 00:49 Man in Suit: Your mother ship? 00:52 Bald Woman: Okay. 00:54 Man in Suit: Full disclosure: I've also applied a thin layer of antihistamine cream to your skin... 00:58 Bald Woman: Excuse me. Listen to me. 00:59 Man in Suit: ...which we'll need to reapply every day for full effectiveness. 01:00 Bald Woman: Listen to me. Listen to me. 01:06 Man in Suit: I'm listening. 01:08 Bald Woman: Right. H-Here's what's gonna happen. And I want to be clear, I'm not threatening you. Or you. (She looks toward a second man standing in the background) 01:18 Bald Woman: But the following is my best guess of how the next 48 hours are likely to transpire. 01:25 Bald Woman: The police and soon thereafter the FBI will begin a statewide manhunt using all of the methods at their disposal and the combined resources of neighboring jurisdictions. 01:35 Bald Woman: My company is a key job creator and economic engine of the region. I am crucial. Think of it like you've abducted the governor but worse. That's the level of bureaucratic urgency you're contending with here. In all humility, I can say that. 01:51 Bald Woman: I'm also a high-profile female corporate executive. Does that add a certain, you know, politicized optics to this? I would say absolutely. I would say that's a tremendous factor for you to consider here. 02:02 Bald Woman: Now, I don't make the rules, and I don't enforce anything, and I am not in charge of the situation in this room. You are. 02:10 Bald Woman: But you are not in charge of what is happening out there, and what is happening out there is a rapid cross-coordination of law enforcement and digital media, which is all leading quite inevitably to your imprisonment. And very likely worse. If I can be frank. 02:28 Bald Woman: I-I'm not privy to what their methods might be under extreme duress, or yours for that matter, but I can assure you that there is no possible scenario where you benefit from this incident, unless you cooperate with me right now and negotiate a deal that's fair and advantageous to us both.
