Well, I keep returning, in my mind, to the Glass Onion. Something that seems densely layered, mysterious and inscrutable. But in fact, the center is in plain sight. Where? Where? And that is why this case has confounded me like no other. Why every complex layer peeled back has revealed another layer and another layer and come to naught. And that was the problem, right there. You see, I expected complexity. I expected intelligence. I expected a puzzle, a game. But that's not what any of this is. It hides not behind complexity, but behind mind-numbing obvious clarity. Truth is, it doesn't hide at all. I was staring right at it.

Your fuel of the future just barbecued the world's most famous painting, you dumbass. Congratulations on the public launch of Klear and the end of Miles Bron. You're ruined. And you did get your wish. To forever be remembered in the same breath… as the Mona Lisa.

So Miles drives his Baby Blue Porsche to the scene of the crime, and Andi lets him in. Of course she did. Miles' machine of lawyers and power could destroy her through sheer dumb force. But Miles himself? Oh, she was clever enough not to fear Miles.

And Duke. When Duke got banned from Twitch for hawking rhino-horn boner pills to teenage boys… There was zero rhino in those pills. …who set him up at YouTube and used their media empire to promote the stream?

[Miles] AK and Flea get all the credit, but Frusciante really is the heart of the Chili Peppers. -Hey, Blanc! Have a dip. -[chuckles] Hey. Grab a hard kombucha. They're actually pretty good. Jared Leto sent 'em over. I think he wants me to invest. -Well, I am on vacation, so… -Hey, booch me! There you go. Yeah. Oh! The Baby Blue! [Duke] Iconic. Remember that night you almost pancaked me with it on the road outside-- Anderson Cooper's birthday. [both chuckle] Coop's parties are memorable.

And look at Duke. You think people looked at him and saw anything other than the beef? You think they saw the first influencer to have a million followers on Twitch? Yes, I did. Here it is. [grunts] Deal with it. -Hello. -[Miles] What about Claire? You know, soccer mom in beige throwing grenades into machine politics. Lionel, he didn't wait ten years licking on the taint of academia to get permission to start pushing the boundaries of science. He just did it. That's what I did with Al-- That's what we did with Alpha. Disrupt. See… Tell you a little secret. Your worldview's gonna change. Once you hear it, you can't unhear it. Is your phone turned off? -Oh, I left it in my room. -[Miles] Okay. If you want to shake things up, you start with something small. You break a norm, or an idea, or a convention, some little business model. But you go with things that people are kind of tired of anyway. Everybody gets excited because you're busting up something that everyone wanted broken in the first place. That's the infraction point. That's the place where you have to look within yourself and ask, "Am I the kind of person who will keep going?" Will you break more things?

There was a time, you know, back when… I was the one on magazines. He was nobody.
