New pods will be ready next month.

- We're still behind schedule.

- Problems with the bedrock.

Five new levels must be ready

by the end of the year.

Yes, I am aware of that.

Reset your clock, ZED.

All work hours are now 93 minutes.

Confirmed.

- What are you doing awake?

- I couldn't sleep.

For the sake of our baby,

you must get your rest.

This thing is amazing!

She's beautiful!

This thing is a working genius.

Look at this.

This is a series of micros.

That's your pain mode.

This is a macro. That kills you.

This little thing on top,

that's your nerve clip.

I need you to put it back together.

- I'm working on it.

- And get it out of me.

I may be able

to cause you to throw it up...

but this b*tch

is highly sensitive.

We're talking TNT on PMS.

- Could it kill me?

- Definite possibility.

- Find another way.

- Maybe there is no other way.

Wrong answer. Try again.

- If I get it...

- When you get it.

When I get it,

I'm going with you, man.

I'm having fun. I'm enjoying myself.

You know how long it's been

since I had any fun?

- Going out won't be fun.

- No, but it'll be a trip.

Just take it to him.

Just? F*** the dumb sh*t.

That is a pretty big "just".

I know it's dangerous,

but I'm asking you anyway.

Say I don't get mind-wiped.

What's going to happen to my parole?

There's no parole. You hold onto

that hope because you're a man.

You keep something inside of you,

but this is a chance to fight back.

Fight for who?

You? Your husband?

I've never begged before in my life.

Please, Abraham?

If you won't do this for me,

do this for my baby.

- I've got to get this back.

- What is it?

Have you never seen

a holographic lens before?

The Only problem is we need a laser

to make this thing work.

- We've got a laser.

- You stick your hand in there.

We need something to hold it.

Wait a minute. Take that.

We've got something.

I'll be goddamned!

Look... this could be a way out.

- Hold it steady.

- Sorry, this thing's heating up.

This is the construction area.

We go in this heating pipe.

It feeds into this utility shaft

which goes all the way up...

If we don't get that, we're dead.

F*** the lens, I need my glasses.

Get it, man.

Laser perimeter intrusion.

Step back, please.

- Sh*t man, don't you hurt?

- Yeah.

- How's the lens?

- Fine. The motherf***er's fine.

You should see what you fools

look like through this thing.

I want you to divorce your husband.

- That's not part of our bargain.

- You will never see him again.

He's only a cog in the Fortress's

grand design. Let me show you.

His only reason for being has been

the expansion of our facility.

Have you touched this?
