-l dropped my responder.

Jack sounded the alarm.

Jack.

lt's closest to the window.

l'm feeling really tired.

Just rest, okay?

l'll check on you later.

-Oh, no. Don't hurt me. Don't hurt me.

-What are you doing in here?

l wanted to see if you were

one of Gianetti's army ants, you know?

With the white, white, white--

You know.

Are you talking about Orpheum?

ls that what makes their eyes white?

Oh, there-- Look, there he goes.

There he goes. Crank up the toaster.

-What exactly is going on up there?

-l don't know. l'll tell you this, okay?

The ones that are going up there

are coming back different.

F***ed up. l know l'm f***ed up.

No, not like that.

Look, see? You see that, right?

lt's probably something

straining the grid.

Wait a minute, wait a minute.

What--? How do you know so much

about the wiring in the building?

Just hear things.

-That's enough, Paul. You'll kill him.

-Hold on.

All right.

Cut the power.

-You could smell him burning.

-Oh, he was doing fine.

As you might know, l do have

experience with this kind of treatment.

Prep him for an additional 20 cc's

of Orpheum.

His levels are above 300 ppm.

l'm aware of his levels.

And what about the incidents

of violence?

We should slow down

and take an observational stance.

This is how Orpheum is designed.

To strip away layer after layer...

...of these

so-called higher brain functions...

...where sickness hides.

We gotta get to the core.

We gotta get to the lizard's brain.

And when we do, only then

can l re-introduce healthier behaviors.

lt's also that core

that makes us dangerous.

Don't push me.

-That's my game.

-Laura, no.

l don't want to see any histrionics

or tantrums.

You're to sit here quietly

like everybody else, all right?

Or this will be

your last time down here.

At least l know you're still alive.

What are you doing here?

l thought they said no visitors.

l'm not visiting.

lf you came here to be a hero, forget it.

l don't wanna be saved.

We promised to take care

of each other, remember?

-You and me.

-That was before.

-Before what?

-Before l stopped wanting to live.

l am sick, Jack, just like Mom,

and l am never going to get better.

l tried to kill myself

so you could be free from all of this.

-l did this for you.

-What was l supposed to do?

Just let them cut you open?

-They don't do that stuff anymore.

-Bullshit!

They're giving everyone in here

some kind of experimental drug.

And what are you

gonna do about it, Jack?

You're a patient now, just like us.

Okay, just tell me

where they're keeping you.

-l'm gonna find a way to get us out.

-No one gets out of these places.

lf you can't behave, you won't
