in your brain.

So you can decode signal

from 1,000 electrodes,

so what?

What are you gonna do

with 100 billion?

I told you.

Next suggestion.

Yes, sir.

Sit.

Good boy, Bubba. Good boy.

Oh, hi.

- Who are you?

- I'm Jordan.

Oh, you must be David's wife.

David?

Yeah?

David?

Hey, Mel, you look amazing.

Who is that?

Um...

it's Ryan's friend.

She's helping us out now.

Well, are you ready?

Listen, um, we had

a significant breakthrough.

Things are just changing

so fast.

We really need this

right now, like...

So?

Could we just... could we just

do this another night, please?

Yeah, sure.

It wasn't a big deal anyway.

You look really nice.

Did you get a haircut?

Hey, man. How's it going?

I'm just getting

something to drink.

Uh, you need a ride home

or something?

Nah, it's cool actually.

I think Jordan can take me.

Uh, so how's your grandma doing?

It is what it is.

If I could afford a doctor,

they'd probably find

a million things wrong with her.

You know what?

Why don't you take

some fruit for her?

Come on, man.

You don't have to do that.

Ah, it's fine.

Here.

We're gonna bust

this thing open soon.

You know that?

You know it.

Got you some carne asada, Grams.

No, I ate.

They're beautiful.

All right.

Let's do this.

Um, where did this

come from again?

Stop stalling.

You should feel numb

pretty quick.

Why do I have to do

the injections again?

Because, if we need

a second test subject,

I don't want you injecting me

without practicing first.

Here you go.

Holy crap, that's big.

- That's what she said.

- Really?

That's your contribution

to this situation right now?

Relax, man,

you're gonna screw up

if you're all tense like that.

Just get ready.

- I'm ready.

- Okay.

- Give me your hand.

- Okay.

- You feel those two bumps?

- Yeah.

Those are his L-three

and L-four vertebrae.

You want to stick the needle

in the space

just between those two.

You should feel

a give right away,

otherwise you're

in the wrong spot.

Okay.

I can't do this.

I don't like this.

The computers

I could justify somehow.

They've got tons of computers.

Well, you didn't like injecting

me blind either, now, did you?

This will let you see

what you're doing.

We should be doing this

at night.

It's more suspicious at night.

Plus everything's locked up.

Don't worry.

No one would ever expect

a fluoroscope to be stolen.

Somebody's definitely

gonna notice when it's gone.

That was easy. Grab the blanket.

How you doing?

You're insane.

Hey, kiddo, I think it's time

for you to paint your volcano.

Will you paint it with me?

I tell you what,

how about you paint it,

and then later I can show you
