[flames crackling]
[man coughing]
- Make it stop.
Make it stop.
- [Fireman] Sir, is there anyone else in here?
[man coughing] [flames crackling]
Is there anyone else in here, sir?
Let's get you outta here.

- It was a accident, a horrible accident.
- And I'm sorry,
but we should consider the event's consequences.
- Wait, you said there were no charges.
- Yeah, I mean, maybe some civil cases
from other tenants in the building,
but nothing, nothing criminal.
- The report says arson.
- The report also says that Thomas is not a suspect.
- But he could have died?
- Two people did die.
Your brother will need to recover physically and mentally.
- Tekiah was so beautiful.
And the baby ...
[sobs]
- There will be consequences that will affect
his well-being once his memory sets in.
- What do you mean?
- Guilt, grief and responsibility.
Sometimes they're deadly as cancer.
- What is this?
- A possible solution for Thomas's future.
- Is this safe?
- Perfectly. [soft dramatic piano music]
[door closing]
So you see, it's a simple procedure.
I present to you the first human application
of the Envision implant.
[coworkers applauding] Thank you.
Any questions?
- [Nurse #1] What will control the visual images
of the subject?
- [Dr. Faust] Subconscious need, desire, and emotion.
They're intertwined with the reality of the physical world,
enhancing his experience.
- [Nurse #2] It is based on dream resourcing?
- [Dr. Faust] Like a waking dream, secondary to reality.
With medicine and ongoing counseling,
we'll be able to steer the patient towards contentment.
- [Male Doctor #1] His memories?
- [Dr. Faust] The worst are removed
with chemically-induced amnesia.
He'll create new and less painful ones.
- [Nurse #1] This is theoretical though, right?
- [Dr. Faust] Thanks to Mr. Shepherd,
theory becomes practice.
He will show the world the true value of Envision.
- [Iris] Around and around we go.
Where we'll stop, nobody knows.
[door closing]
- Come on, Iris.
- [Iris] Don't tell me you're getting old
on me already, old man.
- No, I just have to work.
- [Iris] You don't have to work.
- Well, I don't have time for this.
- [Iris] What if we're stuck in here forever
and we could only look at each other through the glass ...
- Okay. - [Iris] But never touch.
- But we're not.
- [Iris] Yeah, but what if we were?
- I don't know.
It would be a terrible waste.
- [Iris] Why?
- I don't have time for this.
- [Iris] Tell me.
Why would it be a waste?
- Because I don't like to browse.
It would be torture, a waste.
- [Iris] You think looking at me for an eternity
would be torture?
- I mean, yeah, if we couldn't...
[laughing]
- It's all in your head. - Touch isn't.
- [Iris] Yeah, well, you could always touch yourself
and I could-- - Look, look, look.
Masturbation lacks the element of surprise.
Come on, I gotta go.
- [Iris] Okay, kiss me, then you could go.
- Iris, come on, Iris, Iris, please.
People are watching. - [Iris] Exactly.
Don't disappoint them.
- All right, there, there.
Can we go?
Come on, come on.
- [Iris] If you really, really want to.
- This ain't even fair.
You so cute.
This, this ain't right.
This... [sighs]
Well, look, we definitely got some bills to pay.
I, I seriously gotta go.
- [Iris] Look at you, my little sellout.
Always so responsible.
Now what would I do without you?
- Only you would think earning a living is selling out.
- [Cop #1] What, this guy again?
- [Cop #2] Man, what is he doing now?
- [Cop #1] Well, it looks like he's blocking the doorway
and talking to himself.
- [Cop #2] Oh, where you going?
- To clear the doorway.
- [Dr. Faust] So his memories are returning?
- No, but he was been a bit strange, though.
- He has conversations with people that only he can see.
- He doesn't seem happy.
- [Dr. Faust] Perhaps there's a subconscious need
to connect with his wife and child.
- I mean, these last couple years have been real,
real rough on us, Doc.
- [Dr. Faust] Shouldn't we be concentrating
on Thomas's well-being?
- Well, that's why we're here.
- We had our firm draw up these papers for you.
- We want the procedure reversed.
- [Dr. Faust] It's worked perfectly.
He's living a full life.
- He spends too much time in his own world.
- Yeah, he's livin' a lie.
- [Dr. Faust] Perhaps the truth is worse.
- This is not working.
- The legal order's been served and come on, baby.
[papers rustling] [hospital machines beeping]
- [Nurse #3] She's still in defib.
[machine beeping]
- [Male Doctor #2] Damn it.
Come on, Iris.
Give us some help here, huh?
[machine beeping] - [Nurse #3] Nothing.
[somber piano music] [machine beeping faintly]
- I just don't, I just don't understand what's goin' on.
- I, I'm sorry, she's gone. - No.
No, nah, this, we, this isn't happening.
- I'm sorry. [somber piano music]
Nah, nah, she's not dead.
- Sir, where are you going?
You shouldn't be alone right now.
- I just wish that we could've met her.
- Yeah, Jackie, you would've loved her.
She was so funny.
- Now how are you really doing, anyways?
Like if you need anything, we got you, okay?
- Yeah, well, I think I'm fine, thanks, though.
- Hey, Jackie, you tell 'em yet?
- Not now, Larry. - [Thomas] Tell me what?
- If not now, then when?
- What? - [Jackie] Not now.
- Look like you'll be an uncle, buddy.
- Jesus, Larry, really?
- What? - I'm sorry.
- Oh, you, you're really pregnant?
- See?
I mean, my brother's going through so much right now.
Do you really think that he wants to hear our good news?
- No, no, no, no. - I'm sorry, man.
I forgot about that. - No, Larry.
No, no, it's fine.
I think it's pretty cool
and I'm really happy for you guys.
- Really?
- Jackie, yes, you're going to be a great mother.
- See, I told you he'd be happy for us.
- Oh, shut up, Larry.
You can be so insensitive sometimes.
- Okay, actually, thank y'all for the coffee.
I actually got somewhere to be.
- Now, see, now he's leaving, Larry.
See? - No, no, no, it's fine.
I really have somewhere to go.
- Yeah, see, he got somewhere to be.
You can't blame everything on me.
- Okay, but we really need
to have a conversation later, okay?
- All right, but can you do it later?
- Okay, are you really okay?
- Yeah, it'll be all good, but whatever.
I'm really happy for you guys.
I love you guys.
And I'll see you later, all right?
- Okay. - [Thomas] All right.
I'll see you, all right? - Okay.
- All right, man.
- All right, see you, Tom.
- [Thomas] All right, Larry. - [Jackie] Love you.
- [Thomas] Love you, Jack.
- You are such an idiot.
You are such an idiot.
Do you know what?
You know my brother.
He's a mess right now.
- When has your brother not been a mess?
- You get on my nerves.
- Still ain't get no eggs.
Yup, sleeping on the couch tonight.
[gentle piano music] [birds chirping]
[sighing]
- No, I don't know.
Do you?
- Only if you want her to.
- Look, I'm don't want to be rude--
- But there's always a way around it.
- Really?
Cause it looks like you may be wrong.
- But it's not too late for you.
[gentle piano music]
She doesn't have to be gone.
- I don't want your card or your advice.
- But you need them both, Thomas.
- How do you know my name?
- And have you had any other hallucinations recently?
- No. - Can you see
the old woman right now? - No.
Do you think I'm going crazy, Dr. Keller?
- Well, under the circumstances,
I think what you experienced
was a perfectly normal reaction
to the loss of somebody special.
You said that this old woman said ...
- She said she didn't have to be gone.
She knew my name. - Right.
Well, what that tells me is subconsciously you're still
in the denial stage, searching for hope
or some strand of Iris to cling to.
- Well, I mean, I miss her.
- Of course you do.
But the mind is a very powerful, very mysterious place
and you need to be careful not to lose touch with reality.
Iris is gone, Thomas, and I think you need
to let her be gone in order for you
to move forward in a healthy fashion.
- Yeah, I know.
- Acceptance is our goal here.
That's what I can offer.
Whenever you're ready.
[sighing]
- Oh, damn, it's closed, shit.
Tom?
Tom Shepherd?
- Whoa, Tekiah, you look great.
- Thanks, you look busy.
[soft tense percussive music]
[sighing anxiously]
[soft tense percussive music] [receptionist typing]
- Good morning, Thomas.
You can go right in.
- How do you know my name?
- Everything will be explained
to you right after the analysis.
- Analysis?
[receptionist typing]
- [Woman's Voice] Welcome, Thomas Shepherd.
Please step forward carefully.
- Hello?
Who is this?
- [Woman's Voice] Please carefully step forward.
Thomas Shepherd, 30-year-old male.
Current account active for two years,
three months and 14 days.
Credit approved, searching hard drive.
- What is this?
What is this place?
- [Woman's Voice] Current status of Iris Mone,
terminated by Thomas Jefferson.
- No, no, that's not true.
That's not right.
Hey, what is this place?
[soft tense music] Screw this.
- [Woman's Voice] Please remain calm.
Please remain tranquil.
- It's good to see you, Mr. Shepherd.
- I came here for some answers.
- Okay, Mr. Shepherd, I think it's very important
for you to know the terms of our agreement,
that we usually don't reach out to clients in such a manner,
but these are extraordinary circumstances.
Your previous agreement is null and void.
- Null and void?
What the hell is this?
- This is your contract.
- I've never been here before.
- No?
- My life has been nothing
but positive since I went to Envision.
- I was depressed and couldn't deal with life.
And then I contacted Envision and my whole life changed.
- Everything I ever wanted is an imagination away.
I get all the best parts of my life every single day.
- Mr. Shepherd, what we do is provide a state
of conscious delusion.
- Conscious, what?
Can you speak some English?
- Okay, okay, fundamentally, it involves you
opening your imagination to the point
where fantasy and reality can coexist.
You have one job in reality,
but in your mind you have your dream job.
You can invent your perfect life partner,
create opportunities and your experiences.
We allow you to customize your life,
guaranteeing success, happiness and joy.
- This is crazy.
This, this, this isn't even possible.
- Well, unfortunately, due to legal reasons,
your experience has come to an end.
- What?
What experience are you talking about?
Can you stop talking in code
and start clarifying some things for me?
- Okay, would you rather be happy or aware?
- Happy or aware?
What do you mean aware exactly?
- Let me ask you a question.
- What is it that you think you do for a living?
- I'm a writer.
I'm working on a novel.
- Really? - Really.
- Okay. [soft tense music]
[laughing]
- It's all right, Tom.
I'm not out there or in here.
I'm in here.
So what do you want to have with the salmon?
- I don't know.
What you think?
- I don't know.
Well, I was going to make a little salad.
We could do like Brussels sprouts or asparagus
or mashed potatoes or something?
- Let's do the sprouts with some mild select.
[laughing] - Okay.
- We about to have a good night.
Oh, let's go.
[somber acoustic music]
How you open this shit?
How you open it?
- Excuse me, sir.
You can't smoke in here.
- Oh yeah? [cork popping]
- You can't drink that, either.
- And how do I even know if you're real?
You ever thought about that, huh?
Thank you, whoa, whoa, fellas, fellas, whoa, whoa, fellas.
I'm just trying to get my drink.
Y'all gonna let them do me like this?
Hold up, fellas.
Whoa, whoa, whoa, fellas.
Come on, man, y'all gonna let them do me like.
No, I just want my beverage.
I just want my beverage.
I just want my beverage, man.
Man, let go of me.
I just want my beverage.
Is that too much to ask?
Man, you know what?
Get off me.
Y'all gonna tear my hand.
You know what?
You two are nothing.
Without me, you wouldn't even exist.
I just want my drink, man.
No, let go of me.
[tapping] - Tom, time to go, man.
Nice digs, huh?
- I feel like crap.
- Yeah, I know, man.
Let's go, man.
I hate seeing you in here like this.
- I think this is where I belong.
- Why would you say that?
- I think I've done some pretty messed up things
that I can't even fully remember.
- Yeah, I mean you were drunk.
You trashed the liquor store.
Not cool, but I mean it's definitely not anything.
- No, no, no.
Not last night, Larry.
Over the last few years.
- Yeah, Tom, listen--
- Then I get a visit from a doctor
from the Envision Medical Project.
- [Larry] What? - Having these horrible,
painful flashes of memories.
I don't even know what's real anymore.
- [Larry] What was the doctor's name?
- Faust, Dr. Faust. - [Larry] This bitch.
- But like I, what?
You know her?
She's real?
- Yeah, I know her.
Let's go, man.
Let's get out of here.
- What's going on, Larry?
- I'm not sure,
but I'm going to check out a few things
and we're going to figure this out, all right?
But for now, get yourself cleaned up.
I brought you a shirt, man, all right?
[mumbling indistinctly]
- Everybody used to smoke.
- Look, I don't know what I am, honestly.
I'm just out of, who's this Dr. Faust?
I'm thinking she's part of this whole
fuzzy dream reality thing I've been experiencing lately,
with these horrible feelings and these flashbacks
and she's talking about she's here to help me.
- I'm going to look into it for you. I got you.
- All right, man.
Like whatever, man,
but thank you, Larry. - Yeah.
- I don't know, but thank you, man.
Like thank you for coming down here,
but don't tell Jackie about this.
- Nah, don't worry. - Her being pregnant, just--
- Don't worry about that.
Are you going to be okay?
- I don't know, I don't know.
I really just need to take a walk, clear my head.
Just sort some things out.
- Hey, but if you need to talk ...
- All right, man, all right, yeah.
I'm out. - Damn.
[boxes rustling] Shit, shit.
What the?
[soft light music]
- Tom?
- Mr. Campbell, good morning.
- Damn, what the hell happened to you, man?
[sighing]
- I haven't been myself lately.
- Look, no worries.
I just need them free whale edits on the desk by 5:00.
You pull that off for me?
- What?
Free what?
- The book, man.
The one we've been working on for six months?
- Oh, that's the book I'm editing now.
[laughing]
- You kid, man.
You crazy, Tom.
- I had a rough time, man.
- Yeah, I can see.
Damn, you smell like a frat house, brother.
- I know, I know, I'm sorry.
- Well, man, I've been letting a lot
of this weird behavior slide 'cause you do good work.
- I do?
I do. - Yeah.
I mean when you show up.
Look, man, pull yourself together
for appearances, all right?
- I will, I will, I am.
- Look, man, we all have our issues.
Appearances, all right?
Appearances, Tom. - Appearances.
- And Molly's so pretty with her freckles today.
Oh, and we had toast with jam and we played hide and seek.
[laughs]
- Heat. [laughs]
- Y'all real?
- Can you feel it?
Can you feel the heat?
[soft pensive music]
[somber instrumental music]
[sniffling]
[pictures clattering]
[sighing]
- How was court?
- It was fine.
It was fine.
What are you doing?
- Dr. Faust contacted Thomas.
- The fuck?
She did?
- That's what he said.
- [Jackie] We did serve her that order?
- Well, yeah, I mean, which means it's not right,
but it's not illegal.
- [Jackie] Weird. - Yeah, it is weird.
- [Jackie] Yes, but not illegal?
- Yeah, why was all this stuff
in Thomas's office upstairs in the attic?
- This is strange.
I don't know.
You think that he was working on this before the fires?
- [Larry] Apparently so.
- What are you thinking?
- [Larry] I don't know yet.
[faint instrumental background music]
- [Man's Voice] Julie, Julie Newl?
- Yes. - [Man's Voice] Someone will
be with you shortly. - Thank you.
- Good luck, Tekiah. - Thank you.
- Oh, don't worry.
I'm not your competition or anything.
I'm not here for anything.
- Oh, that's such a relief.
- Tell me about it.
I'm in no shape for an interview.
Sorry, I had to wait long enough so they wouldn't think
we were together. - Okay, thanks.
- What can I get you?
- Oh, I'll have a coffee, please.
- Sir?
- What she said, coffee.
- All right, then.
- So, how you doing?
- You look really, really great.
I mean, your kid looks great, but you ...
- Thanks, he's my world. - Yeah, wow.
I've been drinking mostly, a lot.
Pretty much all the time.
- [Tekiah] Tom, you're not homeless, are you?
- I honestly, I mean, I really don't know.
I haven't checked.
I had a small little campfire in my bathroom
a couple nights ago, but ...
- [Tekiah] Oh my God, Tom.
- It's okay, it was okay.
- [Tekiah] Who was she?
- She was, she was ...
She was everything I imagined.
Like she was the one, if you believe in that sort of thing.
She was so funny.
We even talked about having kids and ...
Wow, I am such a lunatic, you know that?
- [Tekiah] Why is that?
- It's, we couldn't, we couldn't even have kids.
I mean, that's a long story, whatever.
Can I ask you a question?
- [Tekiah] Of course you can.
- Okay, if you could choose between being truly happy
and being aware, what would you choose?
- What do you mean, Tom?
What do you mean being aware?
- Okay, like what if you could,
what if you could trick yourself
into believing something like ...
Never mind, this is a stupid question.
Never mind. - [Tekiah] No, no.
- [Thomas] How you been? - No, it's not stupid.
Ask me. - Yeah.
Well, all right.
What if you could be truly happy,
but in order to do so you would have to live
in some sort of dream reality la-la land?
This is so silly.
- [Tekiah] It's not silly.
I would choose to be aware.
- You'd rather be miserable in reality
for the rest of your life
rather than being happy in la-la land?
- I'm a mom now.
I have Carter.
I have to be conscious.
I can't live in a dream land.
Besides, reality is what you make it.
You don't have to be miserable.
- Right, I mean, I guess that makes sense.
- You're talking about the drinking, right?
- Sure, the drinking, yeah.
- You know they have programs for that?
Tom, I know you don't want to hear this and it's hard,
but you can't drink this away.
Sooner or later, you're going to have to deal with it
and you're not going to be miserable forever.
Trust me, I promise.
- What happened between us, Tekiah?
- Time, life, you know.
- No, what happened between us?
You, me, why didn't we work?
And I honestly can't remember why we broke up.
- [Tekiah] I don't know.
- [Server] There you go, sir.
Can I get you anything else?
Sir?
- Listen, Why don't we get out of here?
We'll go to the park and then you can come by the house
and wait with me for Carter.
- I don't, Tekiah, it's ...
It's a bit too soon for me.
- Boy, stop, all I was talking about
was getting some warm food in your belly.
- Oh, right, right, right.
I'm so sorry.
That sounds great, I'm sorry.
- Okay, let's not make this any more awkward
than it already is.
You got your PJs on, babe?
- [Carter] Yes, Mommy.
- [Tekiah] All right.
Bedtime in 10 minutes. - Yes, Mommy.
[cartoon music playing]
[bag rustling]
You can't drink in here around my kid, Tom.
[liquor pouring]
- This is what I came here for.
I'm a mess, but I'm not a scumbag.
- I'm sorry, it's just that promised after Tyler,
that I would never have a drunk in here around Carter again.
- Look, listen, I don't have to stay here.
I can go home.
- No, no, you need a friend right now.
And I want Carter to meet my old friend, Tom,
after I clean you up a bit.
- What?
You don't like the beard? - No.
- Gee, I was going for the war gate look.
- It's not working.
- Nah, nah, but look, all jokes aside.
Are you comfortable with me staying here?
It's kind of random.
- Random is what we do.
If it's not broke, don't try to fix it.
- Thanks, you are a dear friend.
- Goodnight, Mister. [cartoon playing]
- What we watching, big guy?
- "Tom and Jerry."
- Oh, those guys are my favorite.
- Really?
- [Thomas] Yeah. - Mine, too.
[cartoon characters talking indistinctly]
- Good morning. - Hey, good morning.
"Tom and Jerry" is on.
- I put some shaving cream in the bathroom for you
and there's a bag of clothes by the closet.
Stuff I've been meaning to get rid of,
but help yourself to whatever you like.
- Yeah, okay, appreciate it.
- Wait a minute.
Both of us just come out of heavy situations
and I don't want either of us to get the wrong idea.
You know what I mean?
- Yeah, thanks for-- - You can't live here.
I'm sorry, it came out harsh.
I didn't mean it like that.
- No, it's okay.
I was planning on going home today anyway.
- I feel like such an idiot.
- Nah, you're not an idiot.
You're just a good mother.
- You don't have to leave today.
You could ... - Nah, I gotta go back home
and check on some of these damages.
Besides I was thinking about what you said earlier
and I think you're right.
- About what?
- I want to try being aware for a while.
What's this?
- Just feels good to be right about something.
- It's amazing, we have so many little people
crammed into this tiny, little spot on the planet,
trying to connect with everything except each other.
What's wrong with us, Doc?
- People are scared.
- Scared of what?
We're all just people.
- Scared of not getting what they desire,
what they desperately seek.
Love, self-fulfillment, meaning.
- And what's this?
This is somehow supposed to fix everyone's problems?
- No, it's not for everyone,
but I simply wanted to provide an option
when there wasn't one.
An alternative to a life of grief or despair, sadness.
- I mean, I have been having a rough time.
- So we're going to extend your contract.
- No, I'm done and I'm done drinking, too.
- Now I see why you've been having a rough time.
- [Thomas] Huh?
- Drinking is one thing.
The dextromethorphan that's--
- Dextro what?
- DXM, it's a hallucinogenic.
It makes the Envision process vivid and unpredictable.
I think you should take a few days and ...
- Nah. - Yup, yeah.
Just take a few days without the drinking and the DXM
and let me know what you think then.
- You are the Doc. - Absolutely.
Take these and it will subdue the effects
and give you a glimpse into the real world.
I just want you to make the right decision
in the right frame of mind.
- I'll see you in a couple of days, Doc.
[laughing]
- Hey Jack, check this out, listen, listen.
- Can you please put some clothes on, please?
My brother is going to be here any minute.
- It's your brother.
It's not the Dalai Lama.
Just listen. - Come on, Larry.
Larry, I can smell your sour ass from over here.
Like that's nasty. - I took a shower last night
and you best just listen. - It's a new day.
- What up, what up, what up, y'all?
- Hey. - She's late for a nice game?
You smell sour ass?
- No. - Shit.
- Really, Larry?
Really, really?
- Look, this pregnancy done
gave your sister a bloodhound nose.
- [Jackie] Yup, I can smell-- - Can you smell the future?
- Yup, and it smells like sour ass.
You're right, yup, sure can.
Anyway, how's work going?
- Work is horrible.
I have a really horrible job.
- Horrible?
I thought you loved your job.
- So did I, but I don't.
I'm actually looking for something new today.
- Okay, but just know that we still need to have a talk.
- Sure, but what about though?
- We need to wait, legal stuff.
- Whoa, whoa, whoa, is this serious?
What legal stuff?
- Well, sorta, yeah.
Like we just need to sort out a couple of things
and then we go from there.
Just wait a couple of days, all right?
So Tom, check this out.
You appreciate this.
So you know how they got, nowadays,
they got these different things
for lonely people to meet up with each other?
They got speed dating.
They got online dating.
Real loser stuff, date nights.
All that bullshit?
- Larry, you're starting to worry me, man.
Like this is the second time you said we needed
to talk about what's really going on,
but you're not really saying nothing.
So what's this about?
This about the arrest?
The doctor?
- It's not about the arrest.
I, well, we will talk.
Just trust me.
Just trust me, Tom.
Give me a little bit more time.
You know me a lot of years,
so you know I got you, all right?
So Tom, check this out.
Listen to this.
"Living in the city breathes the people that are
"in dire need of human connection.
"For all those souls who yearn
"for a little human interaction, we have the solution."
All right, what I'm about to say next
is probably ridiculous.
Most ridiculous thing you ever heard, all right?
This new thing is called ...
Y'all ready?
It's called cuddle parties.
- What the hell is a cuddle party?
- A cuddle party.
- What is that?
- Well, apparently is a party where you cuddle.
They cuddle at the party.
You made it up. - [Larry] I kid you not.
Check it out.
- Whatever, Larry. - Cuddle party shit.
[mumbling]
What'd I tell you?
See the thing.
[bell dinging]
- I want everyone here to know
that this is a very safe environment, okay?
Everyone here is here for the same basic reasons,
so we need to feel like we can trust each other
before we start our journey.
That's why you guys are going to hold hands.
Now some ground rules.
This is not about sex people,
so no touching each other's delicates please.
Accidents are accidents and that's fine,
but let's just be respectful so we can all share
in a powerful experience.
Now, let's start by stating some personal boundaries.
- I just don't want any dry humping, okay?
I just don't want a massage from someone's crotch.
- Okay, I think that falls
under the "no sexual behavior" category.
- Okay, but last week this really lonely guy
was dry humping me and it made me a little uncomfortable.
- Okay, I understand that, thank you.
- And don't rub my ass
for more than five seconds at a time.
I don't like that either.
- Okay then, anyone else?
- What, what are you doing back there?
- Massaging you. - What?
It feels like I'm being examined.
- Thomas, why don't you try to put more emotions
in your fingertips?
Let's truly connect here.
Let the love pour from you
until we're just laying in a big pool of love together.
- Yeah, yeah, that sounds nice.
- I'll try. [soft background music]
[moaning]
- Yeah, that's it.
What, wait, why'd you stop?
- I'm sorry, this is too weird for me.
I can't, I can't do this.
- Thomas, don't you want to truly connect with someone?
Don't you want to be loved?
- Yeah, we can love you.
We can all love you together.
- Oh, no, no, no, ma'am, no, no, no, no.
Not like this.
This, this isn't real.
This, this, I can't, I can't.
You're just a bunch of waitresses smiling at me
while you take my order.
[exhales softly] [crickets chirping]
- Sir, can I help you?
- I was here to see some friends.
- This is not a safe place.
You should move along.
- Okay, what's going on?
- A fire in the scene, come on.
- Was anyone hurt?
- A woman and her child died.
- Oh my God.
- Sir, sir, it was a couple of years ago.
- I was just here. - Relax.
I hate this neighborhood.
[sighing] [bottles clattering]
- Sir, are you okay?
- This is it. [bottles clattering]
- I'm so sorry, Tom.
We never thought you would do this to yourself.
Just relax and rest.
I promise we won't let this happen again, I promise.
[somber instrumental music]
- You can't help her, Thomas.
This is the past.
You can't help him, either.
What's done is done.
[whooshing]
- [Tekiah] Hey sweetie, how was your day?
- Great, I finished.
- [Tekiah] That's great.
- This could be my big break.
- [Tekiah] That's the Envision company story, right?
- Yes, yes, and you won't believe
what this company was doing to get the FDA to sign off.
- [Tekiah] Did you think of a title?
- Yeah, I think I'm going to go with "Imprisoned."
What?
I thought it was funny.
[coughs]
- [Tekiah] Are you getting sick?
- Just a little cold, baby, that's all.
- [Tekiah] You need to take some medicine.
There's some cough syrup in the cabinet, all right?
And I'm going to go check on Carter
and then we'll celebrate.
- Cool, cool, cool.
Where those fancy glasses?
[flames crackling] [somber piano music]
[coughing]
- [Fireman] Sir, is there anyone else in here?
[coughing]
- Make it stoop. [coughs]
[Fireman] Sir, sir, is there anyone else in here?
- Make it stop. [coughs]
- Sir, is there anyone else in here?
[flames crackling]
Let's get you out of here.
[flames crackling]
[hospital machine beeping]
[shushing]
- Tom, it's okay, it's okay, it's okay.
Doctor, thank you so much for taking care of him.
- It's my pleasure, Mrs. Sullivan.
- No, you were right.
We should have trusted you.
I'm so sorry.
- You did what you thought was best,
so no apology needed, seriously.
- He's waking up.
- [Thomas] You. - No, Tom, Tom, relax.
She's trying to help.
- It's okay. - No, no, I remember, no.
- Tom, she's trying to help.
- No, no, no, I remember. [machine beeping rapidly]
- Time to take your crazy pills.
- Funny, Iris. - Fine, more for me.
- We get out today. - Can't wait.
How's the head? - Focused.
- So Doc, how's our guy doing?
- Thomas seems to be coping and as far as Dr. Faust goes,
she no longer has direct contact with him.
- What happened?
- Thomas has strong negative feelings towards the doctor
and he blames her for his situation.
There were a few incidents,
but he's calm now.
He's talking to Iris,
- His dead girlfriend?
- She is not dead.
She was never alive.
She was an illusion.
- Well, are you sure that Thomas is going to be all right
when he leaves?
- The delusions manifest themselves physically,
a result of the implant,
but psychologically he is in perfect health,
except for an unknown amount of memory loss.
- He has an imaginary friend?
- He's not on any medication.
He is not diagnosed with a disorder.
We couldn't keep him here even if we wanted to.
- Okay, so will he hurt himself again or anyone else?
- Mrs. Sullivan, he is perfectly safe to himself and others.
His attempt to hurt himself
was just him processing this new reality.
Now that he's come to terms with it, he's fine.
- Even Dr. Faust?
- Just keep that bitch away from my brother, Dr. Keller.
- That's something we're going to have
to manage together, Mrs. Sullivan.
- All right, Doc.
We'll be by to pick him up tomorrow afternoon.
- Released already?
We don't even know what he remembers.
No, I'll handle it, no police.
[soft background rap music]
- Hey, Larry, man, he looks just like you.
- [Larry] Yeah, I was kind of hoping he would get my brains
and Jackie's looks, but--
- Larry. - [Larry] Driving here.
- Tom, are you all right, like really?
- I'm fine, I have some time to think about some things
and sort 'em out.
- And?
- [Thomas] I'll be fine, Jackie.
- [Larry] You're gonna have to stay with us for a while.
- Why?
Because I can take care of myself.
- We know you can, but you need
to be someplace that's really safe.
- [Larry] I mean, we got plenty of room.
- Well, I don't want to be a burden on you two or anything.
- [Larry] Nah, we got plenty of room, Tom.
You got evicted while you were in there.
- Yeah, all your things are at, we have all your stuff.
- All right, well, thanks, guys.
- [Larry] Oh, your friend can come to.
- Larry. - [Larry] What?
Is she back there?
- How about you keep your eyes on the road, Dad.
- [Larry] Got you, got you. - I'm sorry, Tom, I'm sorry.
- It's cool, it's cool.
I'm meeting up with her later.
- Seriously? - Yeah.
[somber acoustic music]
Maybe we should bring back a rose for old Agnes.
It's like her life didn't mean anything to me.
- Well, not entirely meaningless.
- What do you mean?
- You really are crazy,
aren't you? - Certifiable.
- [Iris] Don't you remember?
You've seen Agnes before.
- What do you mean?
- You really are crazy,
aren't you? - Certifiable.
- Don't you remember?
You've seen Agnes before.
- I can't remember her.
It's like a blank space.
And you're not making this no easier.
- Thomas, I can only show you what you want to see.
- Thomas, what are you doing here?
- Honestly, Doc, I came here to break in your office,
but I'm glad you're here.
And I see you've done most of my work for me.
- Thomas, leave it alone.
- Tell me about Agnes.
It was the implant.
- What?
No, you have no idea
who you're getting involved with, Thomas.
- Okay, Dr. Keller, Brenda, I need your help.
Do you have any idea of what it's like to not know
if your life is real or some imaginary world made up
by your subconscious?
To love someone with every fiber of your being,
only to find out they don't even exist?
Everything I believed in, everything I loved,
everything that makes me who I am is gone
or never existed.
Do you even care how that makes me feel?
How many lives have been ruined?
How many people have you and Faust killed?
- Do you think I wanted this to happen?
Do you think I meant for Agnes to die?
She was my sister.
- What?
- She was my sister.
I only wanted to help her.
Agnes was the only survivor of a car accident
with her husband and her child.
I just wanted to create a better life for her.
- If it were the implant that killed her, Doctor,
why am I still alive?
- You're supposed to be dead.
You should be dead.
- I want to die.
I want the pain to go away.
You took everything away from me, even peace.
- I tried to get her to stop.
I was too afraid to go to the police
and she wanted me to keep silent
and she used it against me.
- How much longer do I have to live, Doctor?
- We don't even know why you're still here.
- Nothing has changed since Agnes's death.
You could expire at any time.
There were no warning signs with my sister.
- All right, okay, Dr. Keller.
Well, before I expire, understand one thing.
You and Faust will pay for what you've done.
- Iris, what are you doing here?
- I came to help, Tom.
- There's no use, Iris.
I don't have much time left.
- I know, it's the implant.
- You knew this whole time and didn't tell me?
- I'm so sorry, Tom.
Remember, I can only show you what you want to see.
- Well, Faust is going to pay.
There are other crimes
and we'll see it wait to the local new station.
I got to find that envelope.
- What do you remember about the last time
you had it? - Practically nothing.
[coughing] [gentle piano music]
- Hey, that's too much.
You can't take that much.
- Relax, baby, it's just a little cough syrup.
It's not gonna kill me.
Look, check this out, look, look.
Daytime, non-drowsy, I'm okay.
- Right, did you find the glasses?
- Yeah, yeah, I did find the glasses.
Oh, so you moved them? - Just pour.
[liquor pouring]
[glasses clinking]
[liquor pouring]
We were drinking and I ...
The cough syrup.
I didn't wake up.
They died because of me.
- Hey, you didn't do this, okay?
Come on. [gentle instrumental music]
- [Thomas] Iris, I'm dying.
- [Iris] But you're not, so stop acting like it.
[tires screeching]
[thumping]
- Iris, hurry up, wake up, wake up.
- Could you get off me, please?
- You okay?
- Pull yourself together, Tom.
- Imaginary, ring a bell?
Come on, let's go find that envelope.
- I'm so sorry, Thomas.
The good Dr. Keller managed to come to grips
with her own kill.
It was gonna go to mid-40s.
It was quite the breakthrough.
[laughs]
- You're late. - I can't believe
you let this chick get the jump on you.
- A little help, please?
- She's a little old woman, that's embarrassing.
- I see the implant is still working.
I thought things could work out.
- Not good, Tom.
- You killed her?
- Oh, did our dear doctor tell you about your wife, too?
- My wife?
- Yeah, she was actually an unfortunate, unnecessary,
unintended, I mean, like unintended, seriously,
ended up a casualty of war.
Casualty of war, I suppose.
Oh, did you mean someone else?
- Agnes Blythe?
- Oh, on the contrary.
Mrs. Blythe was a child in psychiatric medicine,
a product of scientific development.
And you, sir, are the evolution of that science.
Don't move. [laughs]
It's because of you that we were able
to move forward with Envision.
It is because of you that I figured out the cause
for Mrs. Blythe's untimely death and it also because of you.
You get the credit.
[laughs]
That she's kind of like a modern day scientific hero.
[laughs]
The human trials you were so bent on stopping
through your little research articles
were made possible because of you.
And that cough syrup you unwittingly started drinking ...
You see, it contained a missing chemical to our equation.
You see, dextromethorphan,
that's contained in the cough syrup.
You see, it stopped the Envision implant
from overloading your synapses.
The overload of synapses is what caused Mrs. Blythe's death.
Her neurotransmitters stopped functioning
and all of her natural functions ceased to a bullet.
You surviving the first fire was a convenient mistake.
That won't happen again.
[door opening]
- I said get out.
- [Dr. Faust] Okay, okay, breathe, breathe.
- You trying to burn down the house, ma'am?
[laughs]
I'll show you a fire.
- That's really not necessary.
That's really not necessary.
- Not exactly. - Get out.
- Thomas, don't leave me, don't leave me.
- I got a article to rewrite. - No, no.
It's okay, it's okay.
- I won't play with fire.
[grunting] [yelling]
- So Larry, y'all gonna give the little guy name
or what's up?
- Well ... - I was thinking
about naming him Little Larry.
- Oh, hell no, nope, nope.
We gonna name him after someone who's really special.
- Hey. - Nope, I mean,
we were really thinking
about naming him after someone special.
- Who?
No, no, no, not me.
- No, no, no, but we were thinking of naming him Carter.
- Carter? - Yeah.
Only if you cool with it, though.
- What you think, big guy?
Looks like a Carter to me.
I say we let her win, Carter.
- Wait a minute, wait, wait, wait, you're leaving?
- [Thomas] Yeah, I've got some work to do.
- Wait a minute, you're leaving?
- Yeah, I've got some work to do.
- Yeah, you got fired the same day you got evicted.
- Larry. - It's all good.
Lar, I appreciate the support and all,
but this research is,
works on me, so perhaps I'm not unemployed.
I like to say I'm freelancing.
All right. - All right.
- Well, where are you going?
