02:05THE END

02:35Boys room down the hall. Third door on your right.

02:49Is there a problem?

02:50Uh, well, I'm finished.

03:03Kid, what are you even doing here?

03:06Uh, taking tests, same as you.

03:08Wait, how old are you?

03:11Uh, 14.

03:12Are you a genius? Like, in a movie?

03:16Well, I did stay in a Holiday Inn Express last night.

03:21Wait, what did you get for the last question in the map?

03:24About the hotel, do you remember?

03:26Uh, it was A.

03:28Shit, I'm sure.

03:29I got C.

03:51Uh, now that's how they get you.

03:53Uh, C is a terrific equation, really.

03:55But, uh, you see, you're already figuring the room tax into the nightly charge.

03:59So, multiply everything inside for emphases.

04:03You end up counting it twice.

04:07That's okay, you know.

04:08I'm sure, I'm sure you got the rest of them right.

04:10No, I forgot how to calculate the fucking tax.

04:15I suck.

04:17Is it weird being you?

04:22And that's an I.

04:23There's an I?

04:24Yeah, sure.

04:25K-U-S-I.

04:27Is it strange we always play with animals I've never heard of and can smell?

04:32Oh, nice try, Rob.

04:35Euro, step into a reverse layup.

04:37Nothing but that.

04:38In your dreams.

04:38Gobert clearing out for Ellis and he's gonna take his man off the dribble and you think

04:43Euro, step into the...

04:44Nice shot, phenom.

04:46You almost had it.

04:47But that Euro step is looking slick as hell.

04:49Shit, man.

04:51What's wrong?

04:52My Timberwolves jersey, man, it's ripped.

04:54I'm sure your mom can throw it.

04:55No big deal, man.

04:57Please can I have your attention.

04:59Ladies and gentlemen, the sooner we get one more Rollins here, the sooner we can board you

05:03all, and we'll still have a shot at an on-time right.

05:06We've already been waiting here an hour.

05:08Yeah, right.

05:08We're offering a courtesy booking on the 6.45 a.m.

05:14Parcher tomorrow.

05:16As well as a hotel voucher and a $200 credit.

05:24My mistake, that's $200 cash.

05:30$400.

05:31Plus the hotel and rebooking.

05:33Now she's a game show host.

05:34Do I hear a thousand?

05:35$600.

05:39Ma'am.

05:41$600.

05:43Plus I can cash refund for my ticket.

05:45You got yourself a seat.

05:52This is Keith.

05:53Leave a message.

05:54Hey, Keith.

05:55It's Tim.

05:55Listen, I don't think I'm going to make it out to New York.

05:59After all, I hope your dad knows how much I appreciate the offer.

06:04I know he doesn't really need an extra guy on a routine exact protect.

06:08I just think...

06:09I just really wouldn't be in a good time right now anyway.

06:15Thanks.

06:43Thanks.

06:45Not a rapist or a psychotic?

06:48No, ma'am.

06:49Of course, that's exactly what a psychotic would say.

06:53Going as far as Maine?

06:55Duffel suggests you might be.

06:57I guess I hadn't decided.

07:00In that case, I got a proposition for you.

07:02One hand washes the other.

07:04Can you scratch my back?

07:05No, there'll be no back scratching, if you don't mind.

07:07And I ain't asking.

07:09Thing is, I got a truck full of books,

07:1240-some boxes, each one heavier

07:14than a son of a bitch.

07:15If you help me unload and reload at each one of my stops,

07:18I'll take you as far as the public library

07:20in Denison, Maine.

07:22Sounds good.

07:24Show your stuff in the back.

07:38We were in Principal Greer's office

07:40for almost an hour.

07:41How long have the two of you been talking about MIT?

07:50Since October.

07:53But he said he felt that Roger Day

07:56had taken me as far as he could.

07:59Can you agree?

08:00MIT is where you belong?

08:02Yeah, yeah.

08:07Yeah, I think so.

08:10Well, um...

08:12But I don't know how to...

08:14Say it.

08:16Try.

08:17We're talking about a good in our lives here, so...

08:21Try.

08:22There's so much I want to learn and figure out.

08:31It makes me feel so small.

08:35You know, I have this dream,

08:37and I'm standing on the edge of an abyss,

08:40and it's full of all the things I don't know.

08:43And, well, I guess an abyss can't be full,

08:44so I'll call it a chasm.

08:46But it's bottomless.

08:48And there's a bridge,

08:50and I want to walk across that bridge

08:51and raise my hands,

08:53and then all the things from the darkness

08:54become flowing up.

08:59I'm sorry.

09:00I'm sorry.

09:01Butterfingers, I'm sorry.

09:04Look.

09:10Your brain,

09:12and what it can do,

09:14is a gift.

09:17God knows it didn't come from us.

09:20I figure that means

09:21we ought to do

09:22whatever's in our power

09:24to see how far it can take you.

09:27You know what they say about the abyss, right?

09:29You look into it,

09:31it looks right back into you.

09:34Really bad, it does.

09:36Mm-hmm.

10:04It's all lights out.

10:17Copy.

10:18Standing by for your call.

10:21If the parents wake up,

10:22we might have to get wet.

10:25No choice.

10:27Make it 45 minutes to go.

10:28Copy.

10:2945 to go.

10:30All right.

10:48Come on.

11:50It's the last time.

11:59Hey.

12:00Just saw a guy win an ice hockey jersey.

12:02I figure that's the good Lord telling me to get my ass back across the Vermont line.

12:07I'm much obliged to you for the ride, man.

12:09It's been a pleasure getting to know you.

12:10Good luck to you, Tim.

12:32White face is when I'm late for dinner, so let's just get right to it.

12:35Just got off of Boston, P.D.

12:42Seems you forgot a few things on your application.

12:46Well, in 2011, you received a commendation for life-saving.

12:50Again in 2018.

12:512020, they're the officer of the year.

12:55Well, they had to give it to somebody.

12:57I always showed up on time and never called in six.

13:01Okay.

13:01I don't know if that is becoming modest to your low self-esteem, but I don't like it.

13:06All right.

13:06I earned that award.

13:10I applied for this job kind of spur of the moment.

13:13More time to think, I'll put it down.

13:15But you remember to put down the incident at Westfield Mall?

13:20Figured you had a right to know.

13:23Lieutenant I spoke to said the guy he shot had an AR in 200 rounds.

13:27It wasn't a guy.

13:28It was a kid.

13:3016 years old.

13:31And he hadn't shot anybody.

13:3416 or not.

13:35A kid threw down on a cop.

13:36Here you go.

13:41Lieutenant said you were off duty.

13:44Yeah, I swung by the mall after my shift.

13:47I got some dress shoes for a wedding.

13:49Still in uniform.

13:50This woman comes running up from the parking lot.

13:52Said she just saw some guy pull a rifle out of his car.

13:56So far, so good.

13:57Yeah.

13:58Yeah, right up until the moment.

13:59The responding officer smelled the alcohol on me.

14:02Gave her the test.

14:03I had two old fashions of beach commerce right before I hit the shoe store.

14:11You were off duty.

14:12I didn't uniform.

14:15Department let me pick.

14:17Resignation or dismissal.

14:19You ordinarily a drinking man?

14:20I was.

14:22After that for a while.

14:24Long enough to end my marriage, but not anymore.

14:27If I had a breathless you right now, what would you blow?

14:33Go ahead and find out.

14:35No.

14:37Don't believe I will.

14:38I don't believe I need to.

14:43Well, son, you are ridiculously overqualified for this job.

14:47But if you want it, it's yours.

14:49What if I want it?

14:51All right.

14:53You start tonight, 8 to 6.

14:55Just like that?

14:56Just like that.

14:57I don't believe I need to.

15:27There we go.

15:32người响

15:33www.t instability.com

15:35Take care.

15:37I wish I am.

15:37I wish I could have done anything.

15:39No.

15:41I wish I could have done anything.

15:47I wish I had a wonderful world.

15:50I wish I could have done something.

15:53Just like that.

15:54THE END

16:24I was going to change it to I choose to be crappy, but they might take away my pen.

16:31Yeah, sometimes they let shit slide, sometimes they don't.

16:34Name's Kalisha.

16:35I also respond to Sha.

16:36Uh, what's happening here?

16:39Where are we?

16:40Welcome to the Institute.

16:41Institute?

16:43What?

16:44Okay, yeah, I remember how many questions I had my first day.

16:49You know, it's usually just easier.

16:50Are we still in Minneapolis?

16:54No, definitely not in Minneapolis anymore, Toto.

17:00We're in Maine.

17:01Oh, at least that's what they say.

17:03Who's that?

17:05You really can't stop yourself, can you?

17:08Is that a smart kid thing?

17:11Why would you say that?

17:13Give us a rundown of all the new arrivals.

17:14Your name's Ligellis, you're from Minneapolis, you like basketball, and chess, and you're smart.

17:21So, how smart are you?

17:23No, no, um, I think the real question is, are you TK or TP?

17:27That's the one thing they never tell us about the movies.

17:30Yeah, you lost me.

17:32TP is telepathy, TK is telekinesis.

17:35So, which are you?

17:38Supposedly, no one's both when they get here, but I'm thinking TK.

17:44I'm TP.

17:46You read minds?

17:47Always have been able to.

17:49Off and on.

17:53Well, sometimes things move around me, but that can't be enough.

17:57To lend you here?

17:58Have we...

18:02Have we been kidnapped?

18:05They call it recruited.

18:07Would you like to find a military?

18:10I don't know.

18:13Do our parents know where we are?

18:14Can we talk to them?

18:16No, actually, apparently our work here is to classify for any contact with the outside.

18:23I mean, well, someone must run this place.

18:26Miss Sigsby, except for the mental stuff.

18:29That's Dr. Hendricks.

18:31Medical stuff?

18:31Oh, it's just tests, mostly.

18:34End shots.

18:34Lots of shots.

18:35Um, at least that's what it's like in front half.

18:38We're in front half right now.

18:39Is that a back half?

18:40Yeah, where we go when we graduate in front half.

18:43We can see from the playground.

18:44Not here, but I can't really tell you what's going on in there.

18:48No contact.

18:49What do Sigsby and Hendricks say?

18:51They're not real big on answering questions.

18:53When do I get to meet them?

18:55Hard to say.

18:57They usually let the newbies wander along first.

18:59Hmm.

19:03Why would they do it like that?

19:06No one's ever thought to question that.

19:09If you'd read a smile, you'd know.

19:12They want to tell us this place isn't so bad and figure we're more likely to accept it coming from another kid.

19:22Predicts he'll notice things others won't.

19:25Goes on at great lengths about his observational and analytical powers.

19:30Why make up our rooms?

19:32Why make up our rooms?

19:36You know, if the boy's as smart as you say, we should be considering him for the PC track.

19:42We're not having this conversation again.

19:45Why can't he?

19:45PC tracks on indefinite hold.

19:47My main priority is keep the conveyor belt moving.

19:54You've seen the latest target packages.

19:56You know how tight the keyhole's gotten?

19:58He's talking to himself.

20:09Yeah.

20:10And he does that a lot.

20:12I think he's ready for me.

20:31You know, it's actually not so bad here.

20:33We have video games, movies.

20:35The playground's open until late.

20:37Hey, um, just, hey, just make sure you do what they tell you do.

20:43Also, by the way, have you ever had chicken pox?

20:45What?

20:49Kalisha.

20:53Luke, Miss Shakespeare would like a word with you.

20:57Get changed.

21:0775 years ago, I bet this was state-of-the-art.

21:22It's actually kind of cool.

21:26Retro.

21:29Three spots in down at Punchkey's for it to mark your progress.

21:32Punch it at each end of Water Street.

21:34First at the station, then at the bank.

21:36Once more at Hopper's Jewelry on Garrish, then back to the station.

21:40The rest of the doors, you can mark with chalk.

21:42Just wipe it off on your way back.

21:44So 2.3 mile loop.

21:46At Whitlock, used to make six circuits each shift.

21:50So that's what?

21:5314 miles?

21:53I guess I'll be getting my steps in.

21:55Sure, and I'll work out a schedule.

21:57We'll get two nights off each week.

21:58Probably Monday, Tuesday.

21:59Town's usually pretty quiet after the weekend, but we might have to shift you.

22:02If you stick around, that is.

22:06Do you have some issue with me, Officer Gullickson?

22:09If so, speak now.

22:13Only time I'll tell.

22:15I guess we're a good crew.

22:17We're small, but good.

22:19Here's some guy off the street.

22:21People joke about a night knocker, but it's key for a force as small as ours.

22:26House of prevention's worth found a cure.

22:29My grandpa used to say that.

22:31Okay.

22:31He was a night knocker.

22:34Why I applied.

22:37Night knocker's an analog job in a digital age.

22:40Maybe we're just an analog now.

22:43I sure hope so.

22:44Is she that house?

23:00Sure.

23:01I can't hear you.

23:01What do you want?

23:03Wait.

23:05Yes?

23:06No, no.

23:06Welcome, Luke.

23:21So, you've met Mr. Stockhouse, Chief of Security,

23:27and this is Dr. Hendricks.

23:29He's the architect of the cutting-edge science we do here.

23:32My name is Ms. Sigsby, and I'm...

23:35I know, boss. I know.

23:37And you know I know because you watched Kalisha tell me.

23:40So why don't we get to the part where you tell me what's going on here?

23:44Sorry.

23:45You're just cooler than most of the first dayers we see.

23:49You went through all this trouble to get me here,

23:51and now you want me to what?

23:53Cry and scream and beg you to take me home?

23:56Would it do any good?

23:58Not at all.

23:59Please sit.

24:04Dr. Hendricks.

24:06I'll take it from here.

24:09Looking forward to working with you.

24:21Sometimes our new arrivals will lash out in their disorientation.

24:27So, Mr. Stockhouse escorts each of you until we're satisfied that you're not going to hurt anyone, yourself included.

24:36But you're not going to hurt anyone, are you?

24:42No.

24:43No.

24:50Have a servant.

24:51Okay.

24:57Jellybean.

24:58Why?

24:59So you can see which color I choose?

25:02Get a sense of my personality?

25:04No.

25:04Because I like jellybeans.

25:06I thought you might like them, too.

25:09But you like to analyze, I gather.

25:13A little more focus on logic, the less I have to think about being kidnapped.

25:17That's not a word we use here.

25:21Right.

25:21Recruited.

25:23And let me be the first to say congratulations.

25:29For?

25:29For being here.

25:32The work you're about to become a part of is without a doubt the most important work taking place anywhere on Earth.

25:43You are, without question, about to participate in saving the world.

25:48Okay, I want to talk to my parents now.

25:52As Felicia told you, that's not possible.

25:56Let me talk to them, and I'll do whatever you want.

26:00This isn't a negotiation, Luke.

26:02A boy with your intellect shouldn't have any trouble understanding.

26:10Without our work, the world as we know it would cease to be.

26:15That's bigger than any of us.

26:19It's my responsibility to see that that work gets done.

26:23So, it will get done.

26:27And what exactly is our work?

26:31I'll leave it to your fellow recruits to fill you in on that.

26:35You're more likely to accept it coming from another kid.

26:38Actually, that's another word we try not to use.

26:43You're not kids.

26:44Not here.

26:45There's no bedtime.

26:47There's no chores.

26:48There's no food you're not allowed.

26:51Doing grown-up work?

26:53You should be treated like grown-ups.

26:55But at the same time, bear in mind, this is not your home.

27:00This is not your school.

27:03Here, to break a rule, there's a grown-up consequence.

27:07And what are those rules?

27:10I'm glad you asked.

27:12The main rule is follow any order given from a staff member without question or delay.

27:19You'll be given a number of injections.

27:22You'll be given a number of tests.

27:26You will comply with all of them.

27:28You won't, with maybe a few exceptions, find them excessively unpleasant.

27:37Your mental and physical condition will be monitored regularly.

27:41And then when you come to the end of your service, wipe your memory, send you home.

27:46Home?

27:48To my parents?

27:50Yes, of course.

27:53Are they alive?

27:55Yes, of course they're alive.

27:57We're not monsters.

27:58Do they know where I am?

28:03Generally.

28:04At any rate, I think you'll find your time here will pass quite quickly, Luke.

28:13And when you leave us, and when you wake up in your own bed, one morning, none of this

28:21will have happened.

28:23The only sad part is, you won't have the memory of the great privilege of having been asked

28:30to serve, not just your country, but humanity.

28:35How many people does each kid here know?

28:39School, families, you can't just wipe all their memories?

28:43You'd be surprised what we can do.

28:46Pleasure meeting you.

28:56My room, it's not supposed to make me feel comfortable, right?

29:04You're just supposed to let me know you're trying to make me comfortable.

29:07I know, this feels like a very dark time for you, Luke, but if you'll simply do as you're

29:18told, before you know it, you back out in the sunshine, maybe hitting some baskets with

29:26Ralph.

30:27But we can't.

30:29Must be Ed Whitlock's replacement.

30:33I heard a rumor they found one.

30:35Tim Jameson.

30:36New night doctor.

30:38Any of the due, old weirdo.

30:42Hey, remind me.

30:43Who is this guy again?

30:45You don't know George Armand?

30:48Still got your blinders on, huh?

30:51Do you have any fillings?

30:54Sorry?

30:55Open your mouth.

30:56Because?

30:58That's how they listen.

31:04Ah.

31:05Oh, good.

31:07Someone was smart enough to get you gold.

31:10Well, that was the army, and I'm sure they just got whatever was cheapest.

31:14You know, they might have remembered where porcelain comes from.

31:18You, uh, you think that the Chinese government is bugging our mouths?

31:29Kidding, right?

31:31Am I?

31:33Sport?

31:33My mom used to call me sport.

31:39I know.

31:40After the fella from that stage show with all the black folks in it, uh, pork and, pork and beans or something.

31:48Pork and bass.

31:49How do you know that?

31:56Do yourself a favor.

31:59Start listening to George's Gems.

32:02Because there are things going on every day in this world that you would not fucking believe.

32:09It looks like I just barely caught you.

32:36I thought I had 48 hours of liberty.

32:40Just touching base.

32:42You got the dossier for the next recruit?

32:45Yeah.

32:46Kid's got a chaotic family situation.

32:48Might complicate the snatch.

32:50Makes the cover store easier.

32:52Soon as you're back, we'll go through scenarios.

32:56Make sure you know the dossier.

32:59I always do.

32:59The Ellis snap.

33:06No good looking backward.

33:08It went how it went.

33:10It only went wrong because they made us rush it.

33:17Soon as the MIT news broke, the Ellis kid was going to get a bunch of publicity.

33:23The decision was made.

33:24Well, I wish those bastards would come with us in and out sometime.

33:27See the consequences of their decisions.

33:28Sorry, sir.

33:34Sorry, sir.

33:35With your company.

33:41I wish those bastards were right.

33:45Look at that.

33:47I wish those bastards could expect impossible to be.

33:55See and see.

33:56The End

34:26Hey, we got a bogey. Copy that.

34:56How can we help you folks?

35:05I don't know. I guess we took the wrong exit off of 161.

35:10And by the time we realized that we're a mile deep in these woods, we got a cell service.

35:14Yeah, these pines, they play hell with your signal.

35:19What's over there?

35:22Infectious disease lab.

35:23Nasty stuff.

35:31So, straight back the way you came.

35:34Okay.

35:34Left on the fire road.

35:36There, right at the court.

35:38Let's go, Will.

35:42Yeah, we're going.

35:43Thanks.

35:44Sure thing.

35:45Folks, take care.

35:46Miss Sixie, explain about the tokens?

36:05No.

36:06You'd think she'd remember as many intakes as she's done.

36:13Tokens are a reward for being a good cooperator.

36:17Let you get treats from the vending machines.

36:27Hey, pretty lady.

36:28How's it going?

36:28Just fine.

36:34How about you, Luke?

36:35Am I Justin okay?

36:41Silent treatment, huh?

36:43It's fine for now.

36:45Here's the thing.

36:46Treat us right, we'll treat you right.

36:48Go along to get along.

36:51Words of wisdom, Luke, my boy.

36:54Words of wisdom.

36:55Come on in.

36:56Come on in.

36:57Come on in.

36:58There won't be a minute.

37:06Have a seat, champ.

37:17Pop on up, I said.

37:20What are you going to do?

37:21Tattoo me?

37:24Gosh, no.

37:25I'm just going to trip here a little, no biggie.

37:27All our guests get them.

37:28So I'm getting up here a second.

37:30I'm not a guest.

37:31I'm a prisoner.

37:31And you're not putting anything in my ear.

37:35I am, though.

37:37Look, it's just a little pinch.

37:38Be over quick.

37:39Maureen will give you a bunch of tokens.

37:41What do you say?

37:42No.

37:42Are you sure?

37:53Are you sure?

37:53Yeah.

37:54I bet that smarts a lot more than a little pinch in the ear, huh?

38:18You want another?

38:19You want another?

38:21No.

38:22Ready to get in the chair?

38:25Now, are you going to behave?

38:39Or do we need the straps?

38:40How's a case?

38:50All right, champ.

38:56You're all done for now.

38:57Grab you some gauze for that ear in case it bleeds

39:01Put some ice on it

39:02And you have yourself a great rest of the day

39:05Good evening

39:10Hey there

39:20Tim, meet the Delia

39:23She likes to greet all our guests

39:26Delia

39:28How's night knocking?

39:32Yeah, um, it's only been one night, but so far so good

39:35You say so

39:36Me, I wouldn't be caught dead working for Chief Snowflake's piss-an outfit

39:40Even if it meant getting to stare at Officer Gullickson's ass all day

39:44She is in peace

39:47Do a good night, Stiles

39:51What, did I offend you?

39:56Hi, you, uh, going my way?

40:00Re-supply run

40:00Georgia's drive-time show is having a marathon this weekend

40:04I can't risk losing comms

40:08Well, you want me to pull this thing to your place?

40:10Just gotta stop by the station and start my shift

40:12Might make it slow going for you

40:13Oh, I can clear my schedule

40:16Okay, let's do it

40:19Don't think I didn't see you talking to him

40:22Mr. Hollister

40:24If I'm living in this hotel, why wouldn't I talk to him?

40:28That man

40:29Oh, here's my reception

40:31Hey

40:40Hey

40:42Mystery lady returned

40:44I told you

40:45Sometimes I have to go out of town unexpectedly

40:48Hey

40:54Al

40:54Got it

40:57Now, um

40:59Where have we been looking at the golf last time?

41:02You were starting to tell me about the place you work

41:04Oh, that's funny, I don't remember that

41:07You were pretty drunk

41:09Me?

41:10Never

41:11Seriously, why can't you talk about it?

41:14We've been over this, I just can't

41:16Especially not with you

41:18You knew I was a journalist when we met

41:21So I was undercover

41:22Yeah, but I didn't approach you because I wanted to talk

41:26There you go

41:28Oh, thanks

41:29No?

41:31Well

41:31You know

41:32Everyone in Denison has a theory about what you're really doing out there in the woods

41:37Casey at the gas station

41:39She said that you guys inherited the alien spacecraft

41:42After Area 51 was compromised

41:45Hmm

41:46That's why drones aren't allowed to fly over

41:48Alien spacecraft, huh?

41:51Then again

41:52June at the diner

41:54She says you're running a flavor lap

41:56Like for snack food

41:57And all the security is to safeguard the secret recipe

42:01Herbs and spices

42:04But what do you say?

42:08I say a girl hot as you

42:09Don't give a fuck what she does for work

42:11I would never be

42:15I think I love

42:16Yes

42:17I do it

42:21One more time

42:21Yes

42:21I do it

42:26I would never mind

42:30I hope you did it

42:30I think it's hard to pick

42:32Yes

42:32Oh, yes

42:33If you did it

42:34You put it in the 40s

42:35You put it in the outside

42:35But we gonna be

42:36And you go

42:37Thank you

42:38I would never mind

42:39Hey, I'm here to bring you to dinner.

42:55Oh, you got your jewelry.

42:57Yeah, I guess I probably should have warned you about that.

43:00Well, I don't think it would have made much of a difference.

43:03But, you know, besides, I was having a lot of dumb tongue me out the one time.

43:08Okay, come on.

43:09Let's go.

43:11Everyone's excited to meet you.

43:12Mickey included, even if he is too cool to show it.

43:19I got a little sidetracked last time before we finished discussing how you read minds.

43:27Right.

43:28How does it work?

43:30It's actually not as cool as people think it is.

43:33I can tell you your grandmother's name, but only if you put it in the front of your mind.

43:37I can't go deep.

43:39We're back.

43:50I mean, that's still pretty fucking cool.

43:52All right.

43:58It's not true love or anything, so I don't get that idea.

44:01It might not even be a favor, but it could be.

44:05Three days after I landed here, they put me into a quarantine for almost two weeks.

44:08No shots for dogs.

44:09What the hell does that mean?

44:15It is.

44:16Maybe I'm still contagious.

44:18You might catch it, and it'll keep you in front half a little longer.

44:21But I thought back half was a good thing, you know, one step closer to home.

44:27It is.

44:28Supposedly.

44:28Give me some.

44:30Seriously.

44:31He's better off your plate.

44:32George, no.

44:34Hey, guys.

44:35Luke, right?

44:36George Isles.

44:37That child's already told you all about me.

44:39I'm like a god.

44:40Oh, he's such a loser.

44:42I'll grab you something.

44:43I'm Iris.

44:44Uh, glad to meet you.

44:45How do you like it here so far?

44:48Great time or the greatest time?

44:51Yeah, well, I don't even know what here is.

44:54Showing the club on that.

44:56Reminds me.

44:57You're TK, right?

44:58Neck or pause?

45:00Uh, I don't.

45:01Oh, positive means that we can do it when we want.

45:04At least most of the time.

45:05Oh, well, then I'm next, then.

45:07Sure.

45:08Yeah, I can't even wiggle my ears.

45:09It's TK Neck.

45:11Wait till I tell Nikki.

45:12They've been betting on what the new kids will be.

45:14George always takes TK Neck.

45:16Because it's the most common vestry, and if you will, no offense, Luke, but TK Paws,

45:21that's, that's Riverfighter.

45:39George, knock it off.

45:59Clean it up.

46:00Holy shit.

46:03Sadly, that just about takes us to the limit of my ability.

46:07Doesn't exactly make me an X-Man.

46:09Sad truth is, TK's not good for much.

46:12No.

46:12Hendrix says the most an Institute kid's ever lifted was, like, eight pounds.

46:17I wish it were possible to develop a really powerful TK.

46:22We could throw ourselves the fuck out of here.

46:23Yeah.

46:24Iris has chosen to adopt Nikki's attitude about all this.

46:28She didn't choose anything.

46:30She's just open to the truth.

46:32Speak of the devil.

46:34Georgie here, on the other hand, he's our agent holder.

46:37He wants to believe.

46:41Believe what?

46:42Oh, that everything's gonna be all right, Nikki.

46:45Do you remember what we just talked about?

46:47Right, right.

46:47Just got a little carried away greeting the new arrival.

46:50Making him feel at home.

46:51What happened to your hand?

46:56I fell.

47:03Luke, meet Nikki.

47:08Look, Alice.

47:10Yeah, I know.

47:11They always tell us about the new kids, offer rewards, we'll show you the ropes.

47:17Not for me, though.

47:18Nikki will, I won't trade us home for beads and blankets.

47:22Speaking of, who's got tokes?

47:25You know, if you weren't such a dick, you could earn something.

47:28Sure.

47:29Instead of always mooching.

47:31Come on, cooperate.

47:32Me ain't never.

47:33Rebel without a mustache.

47:36Yeah, you know, it's actually kind of gross to boycott something by having your friends buy it for you.

47:41I'm not boycotting, just not cooperating.

47:45Come on, who's holding?

47:47I have two for Maureen, for not crying this morning after shots for dogs.

47:54Come on.

47:55I know you've got something.

47:58Whatever.

48:00Kiss ass.

48:01Come on, Alice, let's get you something.

48:05Fun fix.

48:09You play chess, Alice?

48:15These three suck.

48:16Diana Gibson could at least give me a half-assed game, but she went to back half three days ago.

48:22Yeah?

48:23Yeah, I play, but I've got to tell you, I'm not in the mood.

48:27Come on, it'll be like that.

48:32Oh.

48:33Why, thank you.

48:35All yours.

48:35You know, I thought those were real cigarettes for a second.

48:51Yeah, but I thought this place couldn't get any weirder.

48:56It can always get weirder.

48:59Jesus.

49:00Is this a pleasure, Alice?

49:01From Pinocchio, right?

49:05Good one.

49:06So they get you.

49:07Off you all the grown-up shit we've been denied for so long.

49:11Smokes, booze, crack the gas, pohos.

49:15What?

49:17My mom smelled fippy and he gave us the herb chips.

49:19Well, there's booze?

49:21Yeah, you know, wine coolers mostly have kids still.

49:24There's even a sign that says, please drink responsibly.

49:26Yeah.

49:28How old are the kids?

49:29Here.

49:29Bobby Washington was almost 19.

49:33Oldest we know if he went to back half a week ago.

49:37Youngest?

49:39Ten.

49:40I think.

49:43Look, do yourself a favor and don't let Nikki pull you into this bullshit, okay?

49:55You see the dots say so.

49:57If you don't say that, they know when we lie.

50:15That's right.

50:15What if I had a story that was bigger than you can imagine?

50:22Then you'd be surprised what I can imagine.

50:24I'm serious.

50:25So you've got a story like that.

50:31A story that could change everything.

50:33What would you do?

50:34I think you have an inflated sense of my career to this point.

50:40Truth is, I'm still just a stringer for a local daily.

50:45Circulation under 10,000.

50:46Neglishable online presence.

50:47Well, who then?

50:49Are you no people?

50:50I guess I'm right.

51:01What if I've spent my whole life on the wrong path?

51:06What if this is my one shot at redemption and even that's not enough?

51:12I just...

51:12Do you think there's a hell?

51:20I know there is.

51:36You're right.

51:37She was unreliable.

51:38What?

51:40It's taken care of.

51:41I need a cleaning crew.

51:42Do you have my location?

51:46I have you.

51:47Sit tight.

52:11Thanks.

52:21Thanks.

52:21Oh, oh, oh.

52:51Oh, oh, oh.

53:21Oh, oh, oh.

53:51Oh, oh, oh.

54:21Walkin' through the streets of Soho in the rain.

54:26He was runnin' at the place called Lee Ho, of course.

54:31Gonna get a big picture, he's charming.

54:33Oh, oh, oh.

54:34Oh, oh, oh.

54:35Oh, oh.

54:36Oh, oh.

54:37Oh, oh, oh.

54:45Oh, oh, oh.

54:46Oh, oh, oh.

54:51You hear him howling around your kitchen door

54:56You better not let him in

55:01A little old lady got mutilated late last night

55:06Where was the London again?

55:14Where was the London again?

55:16Where was the London?

55:25Where was the London again?

55:28Where was the London again?

55:33Where was the London again?

55:38Where was the London again?

55:42Is it a checkmate?

55:43What was that, five moves?

55:45Six.

55:46And it's, uh, smothered, mate.

55:48It only works if your opponent waits too long to move the pieces next to their king.

55:54And next time you will.

55:55Plus, I was playing her right from your fall.

56:01How smart are you?

56:05I don't know.

56:07Why?

56:08I need to decide, are you the kid I've been waiting for?

56:11Smart enough to know we can't stay in this place.

56:13Or are you like the others?

56:17Can't handle the truth, so they talk themselves into a fairy tale.

56:20And we get our memories wiped, go on with our lives like all this never happened.

56:25You and Kalisha are still trying to believe in it.

56:29Everyone but you.

56:32Grow up in group homes and foster care.

56:36You learn not to believe in stories.

56:38You also learn that nobody's coming to the rescue.

56:47I mean, if anybody knew about this place,

56:51you would already be shut down.

56:56Yeah, we want out.

56:57We get ourselves out.

57:01So, smart kid,

57:02how do we get the fuck out of here?

58:35So,

58:36we'll be right back.
