[eerie music]
[woman over PA] Welcome to Collingwood Institute.
Together, we can capture what's on the other side,
as we journey into the blink.
-[bell ringing] -Aah!
[panting]
I hope I'm not too late.
It's quite all right, my dear.
Don't worry.
I'll begin.
Blinking, scientifically known as a nictitate.
What purpose does it serve,
other than to protect and moisturize the eye?
A behavior so seemingly insignificant
that we barely even notice it,
and yet it plays a key role in all of our perception
of time and reality,
and in fact, our entire cognitive function.
We average ten blinks per minute.
Each blink lasting approximately 0.3 seconds,
totaling out to three minutes per hour.
That is 48 minutes in a 12-hour day
that you spend in complete darkness.
Now, for all those of you staring intently
at the back of your eyelids,
I can assure you that it is much more complex than that.
This effect occurs spontaneously.
It is not under your conscious control,
and it's hardwired into you, much like your heartbeat.
Now, recent studies show that the brain accesses data
in up to 11 different dimensions,
the strongest multidimensional connection occurring
when your eyes close to blink.
When your eyes close,
the brain resets, and stitches together images
missing before and after the gap,
creating a seamless vision.
This is, however, false.
The question is, what are we not seeing?
What else is there out there?
Now, here at the Collingwood Institute,
we are currently studying neural functionality
during the blinking process, and we are attempting to map
the interdimensional connections into something
that we call the in-between of the dark sector.
Now, if any of you are like me,
and you're wondering what you're missing,
we're about to find out.
[foreboding music]
Thank you, everybody, for coming.
Dr. Aaron.
[applause]
[cheering]
Yeah!
Hello, everybody, and thank you for being here today.
First of all, I'd-- I'd like to take this opportunity
to thank the Funding Commission.
Without their hard work and generosity,
we wouldn't be able to start restoration
on this beautiful and historic building.
For those who have just newly signed up,
thank you for your participation.
You will be helping us with a few
simple perception tests,
in which you will be able to wear...
one of these really cool helmets.
And together, we can capture what's on the other side,
as we journey into the blink.

I couldn't miss out.
You told me that you were out west.
Were. Key word.
-I transferred. -Here?
Yeah.
Now, I can hang with my successful big sis
at the renowned Collingwood Institute.
I mean, wow, Kes, I mean, just, mind blown.
It's a long way from medical school, huh?
Yeah.
And these experiments, they're pretty impressive.
And totally wild, I mean, but...
Have you decided to test
whether Extra Sensory Perceptions factor into this?
Ah.
You're still into all that, huh?
Say hello to your new test subject.
Because you know I'm magic, baby.
[Kessi laughs]
Yes. Yes, you are.

Wait, did you see these?
Yeah, I did.
Frank's results are completely normal.
That doesn't make any sense. I mean...
There should be neurotransmitter irregularities,
signs of injury, something.
I mean, how is he doing?
Let's check.
Same as always.
Doesn't eat, barely moves, and he still drools on himself.
Other than that, he's just peachy.
Not cool.
Sorry, Kes.
In all seriousness,
Dr. Conrad did try something new with him today.
Something new?
Do you know what it was?
And were there any issues?

Please report to Dr. Conrad.
Good afternoon, everyone.
If you haven't already heard,
we lost one of our clinical test subjects last night,
after he had a psychotic break.
This is really serious.
We need to stay on top of this, guys.
Okay? Stacey, I need you to do
a visual assessment on Frank today.
I want to see if there's been a change in the way
he reacts to direct stimuli.
Sure, but...
don't we have to go through Dr. Conrad for that?
You report to me, Stacey,
and I coordinate with Dr. Conrad.
Is that understood?
Understood.
Guys.
Frank started drawing. That's new.

if you could just bring it to me first, please.
Is that all right?
Absolutely.

I can't tell if they're purposeful, though.
They're quite disturbing.
I'm worried about him.
Well, have him reassessed immediately.
We certainly don't want any more unfortunate incidents, do we?
I'll have Stacey do it later today.
Yes, and, uh, just have her give it to me
as soon as it's completed.
Look, Kessi, I need to know that I can rely on you.
Frank was one of my top colleagues here.
We miss him. We all do.
And he was a great friend to me, as well.
But he put his work before his personal life,
and I think that's something we could all probably learn from.
Hmm?
Good. Well, I'm glad that we've got that straightened out.
And Kessi, have Stacey put Frank's drawings

Please do your best to respond, okay?
Can you follow this light with your eyes for me, Frank?
[eerie music]
Frank, can you hear me?
[computer beeping]
He's giving me nothing.
Did you just get that?
He just looked at me. Okay.
Are you communicating with me, Frank?
If so, can you blink your eyes for me?

Frank?
[alarm blaring]

-What happened? -I don't know.
It looked like he was having a seizure.
How long did it last?
When did it stop?
A few seconds, and then it was just gone.
Did anything happen to trigger this?
[Stacey] I'm not sure.
I asked him to follow a light.
I had him respond by blinking, and then the EEG just spiked.
Let's get him on a sedative and back to his room.
[eerie music]
[indistinct whispering]
[Stacey] These reports are crazy.
Nothing makes sense.
How long has he been like this?
A few months.
One day he was fine, and then the next, vegetable soup.
Well, according to these, his blood work seems normal.
There's no sign of brain damage or trauma, and yet,
he can't seem to function normally,
and his mouth is stuck open as if he's--
Screaming.
Exactly.
Whoa.
That's creepy.
Trista, did you notice anything unusual
leading up to his accident?
You were working with Frank, right?
No, not me.
Romeo over there was.
Everett. So you worked with Frank, right?
Yeah.
Were you there when they found him?
I was.
Well, did you notice anything unusual
besides him drooling on himself?
This is not cool, okay?
If it's right with all of you guys,
I don't want to talk about it.
Seriously, Everett?
Answer my question. It's your fucking job.
Hey, take it easy on him.
Look.
You were probably one of the last people
to see and talk to Frank.
Who else would know?
You had to have noticed something.
Listen.
I've retold this story a thousand times,
and I'm done reliving it.
Okay?
He didn't fucking deserve what happened to him.
All the details are in the report. I gotta go.
Everett, wait.
I didn't mean to upset you.
I'm just trying to understand what Frank was like before.
He was a good friend and a brilliant scientist.
He always had my back.
Unlike some of you, obviously.
Wow.
That was intense.

Let's do this.

in your intake paper?
I prefer to think of them as visual premonitions.

You can't just go around telling people that you have visions.
Why not?
Because they'll treat you differently.
Kes, in case you haven't noticed, I'm Black and I'm gay.
People already treat me different.
You know that isn't what I meant.
Kes, look.
I get it.
This makes you uncomfortable and you worry about me.
But this isn't a joke.
I'm comfortable with who I am and my gift.

Don't you?

Yeah, check this out.
As you can see, there are definitely
abnormalities in the image.
But that's not it.
Here's Frank's data from his EEG.
The levels, they're incredibly high.
I've never seen anything like that before.
On top of that, here's the test subject's
EEG from the other day.
Notice anything?
[computer] Test results match affirmative.
They're identical.
-How is that even possible? -Right.
After Frank's seizure, I figured you'd want me to check
to see if he had any other episodes.
He did.
Yesterday.
[Kessi] Is that timecode correct?
Yeah.
You're telling me that Frank had his first
seizure at the exact same time that patient died?

[Dr. Conrad] Frank?
Peter.
I have some exciting news.
Really?
We may have found a way to see into the in-between.
X38.
It is everything we ever wanted, Peter. Everything.
Frank, I knew I could rely on you. I knew it.
This is a game changer.
I cannot wait to start clinical trials.
Well, I don't think we can wait for clinical trials.
I mean, it'll take too long.
We only have funding for the next quarter.
I just don't think we have time. I think we need to do it now.
There's no way to do it without human testing.
Have you thought about the dangers?
The potential for serious side effects alone.
If we do not do this carefully,
it can literally be a death sentence.
Even worse, you can end up stuck in between alternate dimensions.
But you said yourself, Frank, the risks were minimal.
That's what you said.
Peter, I don't understand.
This is unethical and dangerous.
If you continue going in this direction, I'll have no choice
but to contact the funding commission about all of this.
Frank, Frank, some things are just bigger than all of us.
This is insane.
The benefit just outweighs the risk.
Think about what you are saying.
You could kill yourself or end up brain dead.
Exactly.
That's why I'm not going to do it, Frank.
You are.
[Kessi gasping]
Oh, God.
[Dr. Conrad] What the hell do you think you're doing in here?
How could you?
He trusted you!
How much have you seen?
I've seen everything.
I know you did it.
You disgust me.
You gave him the serum.
You could have killed him.
And what? All of this is to cover up your ass?
You're disgusting.
I mean, his doctors don't even know what's going on.
I am his doctor!
You locked us out of his files. You just deleted everything.
I mean, how could it possibly ever get better?
You're a monster.
Hm.
What choice did I have?
He was going to shut the project down.
It means just as much to him as it does to me.
You don't know what's going on, do you?
We wanted to prolong the time of the interdimensional connection.
That's why we did it.
The X38 was out of his body within fucking hours.
It did no structural harm.
But Frank didn't come back.
Frank didn't come back.

I don't know. Edward's gone.
Something attacked him and I-- I-- I was too late,
but then his body just disappeared.
Kes, do you remember when I told you
that I am not here by accident?
Paulo, we don't have time for that, okay?
We have to go find the others, we have to help them.
No, Kes, don't you get it?
I'm here to save you.
Save me?
Something is here.
I first saw it in your presentation.
I saw it in my journal.
It's not from here and it's not going to stop
until it gets you too.
-How do you know that? -I just do!
Why does it want me?
Because you both are connected to the same thing.
I don't understand.
Yes, you do. It's Frank.
All of this is connected to Frank.
Conrad did this.
He injected Frank with a serum, X38.
He wanted to leave the link to the in-between open for longer.
This was all his own personal fucking science experiment!
Holy shit, Kes.
The in-between.
It's another dimension.
If Conrad left this pathway open,
then he's using Frank as a conduit.
That's why he's not waking up,
because this thing is, it's using him.
If we bring him back,
maybe this thing can stop.
So, we need to sever the connection.
Well, how do we do that?

I've never been more sure of anything in my life.
Now Paulo, you said that
you'd be able to feel it when it's near, right?
That's just the thing, Kes.
I'm not feeling anything at all.
It must operate on a completely different plane
of existence because it's not of this world.
I'm not getting a read at all.
Look.
Kes, do you really believe
that you can go down there and find him?
Yes.
We have to.
Am I good to go?

what's in front of you through my monitor

Yeah. Loud and clear.
All right.
I can also sense your neural activity
so when it starts to spike we'll know when it's near.
Okay guys, remember,
the connection to its world is only when we blink.
So just keep your eyes shut at all costs.
How the fuck are we supposed to do that?
Kes, are you telling me that we're supposed to go in,
face this thing, totally, completely blind?
-Pretty much. -[Paulo] Whoa!
That's brilliant.
-Just great plan, dude. -Yeah, you're welcome.
Look, I'll be guiding you through the whole way, okay?
[Kessi] Wait.
No. Everett, if you blink it's gonna see you instead of us.
You can't do that.
Kes, it's the only way.
Look man, you can just keep your eyes closed

Guys,
you're not gonna make it without me guiding you through.
Look, I helped fuck this up.
Now it's my chance to make it right.

That's where the X-38 is.
Should be inside an old furnace.
And you're gonna have to inject yourself with 50 cc's of X-38.
And it should only last an hour.
So once you're under,
you're gonna have to find the access point.
The portal where Frank is caught in between.

Don't worry about me, okay?
