Fingerprints. Photographs.

Yeah, next they're gonna have the

f***ing Coast Guard out here.

Lot of good that's gonna do Lana.

Ralph! We are gonna start

billing you for those outbursts.

Yeah, you bill us and our family

for every goddamn aspirin!

You bill Lana for a body bag?

Dr. Freeman to gynecology.

Dr. Freeman to gynecology.

[WHISPERINGJ

You are defenseless against him.

Shithead.

Jesus.

You can't blame yourself about Lana.

She was unhappy. And sometimes

unhappy people do stupid things.

She didn't kill herself.

Harris did it.

Harris?

From Unity Fields.

You don't believe me, do you?

I believe that you believe it.

But I also believe

that shooting you up

every time you get the heebie-jeebies

isn't gonna do sh*t to

solve your real problems.

No. No. We gotta get you out of here.

Get you to someplace nice. Like at

the beach, or in the mountains,

where you can fight your

demons in your own way, right?

I don't know anybody.

I don't have any money.

You know me. Listen,

I was on the staff of a

national publication, and some people

called it a rag but it was home to me.

Me Magazine, you've heard of it!

- I was in a coma.

- Oh, right.

Well, when they carried me off to this

funny farm, Saul- He's the editor- He

told me "You're

welcome back any time,"

so maybe this is the time. Look, look.

I could go to him.

I could tell him your

story. He would give

me a huge advance.

I'd share it with you, we'd be set!

- I don't know.

- No, wait, wait, wait!

Wait. Let me be honest

with you, okay?

This is a good story.

It's a great story, and it could mean

a second chance for me, so ok! Ok!

There is a little bit of self interest

here, alright?

But look! I really think

you should tell people

about Unity Fields.

How they take decent ideas and dreams,

and turn them into something sick and

poisonous. You owe it to the world.

You owe it to yourself, now

you have to ask yourself.

This is my life. Do I want

to live, or do I want to die?

- I want to live.

- Okay! We're in business.

I think I know a way

to make a phone call.

We'll get you out

of here tonight.

Cynthia, this is

the right thing to do.

Of course it is. You said so.

- Yes. I did.

- Yes.

Dr. Hillman, please call your office.

Uh-oh. Get out

your hall pass.

Ladies. Nice to see you

socializing, Cynthia.

Yes. I'll see you later.

Thank you.

No. Thank you.

- How are you feeling?

- I'm fine.

Good.

No!

Miriam!

Miriam!

Stop! Miriam.

He wants us all with him.

He wants us with him and whether

we like it or not we're going.

Cynthia, we're all upset

about what happened.

Harris promised us eternal bliss

on the other side when we got there.
