With the help of longtime director Patty Fenn, Lee tries to calm Kyle and locate Camby, though Kyle is dissatisfied when both Lee and IBIS chief communications officer Diane Lester offer to compensate him for his financial loss. He is angered by Diane's insistence that the algorithm is to blame. Diane is not satisfied with her own explanation, either, and defies colleagues by contacting a programmer who created the algorithm, Won Joon. Reached in [[Seoul]], Joon insists that an algorithm could not take such a large, lopsided position without someone meddling with it. |

Lee appeals to his TV viewers for help, seeking to recoup the lost investment, but is dejected by their response. The [[New York City Police Department|NYPD]] find Kyle's pregnant girlfriend Molly and allow her to talk to Kyle through a video feed. When she learns that he lost everything, she viciously berates him before the police cut the feed. Lee, seeing the decimation that has been visited on Kyle (i.e., not only losing so much money, but being yelled at on live TV by his hateful, spiteful girlfriend), decides to side with Kyle. Lee agrees to help his captor discover what went wrong. |
