00:24What about Mr. Stockhouse's reporter?
00:26I got out of the job three years ago just for this kind of eventuality.
00:31But you do know, in certain cases, our subject's true value, an infinitely higher value, might lie elsewhere.
00:43Don't worry, the microphones on this corridor are experiencing a temporary malfunction.
00:52Find a kid with potential for PC development and develop him.
00:57Ellis, you mean?
01:02Police! Get down on the ground!
01:07Hey!
01:08Hey!
01:11Drew, ambulance, man. You got this, bro.
01:15Nice job, Drew.
01:16Thank you, Chief.
01:19What we really need is a super powerful TP.
01:23See inside the minds of the staff, even the stuff they're hiding.
01:29This one's strong.
01:32I've never felt one so strong.
01:36Ask and ye shall receive.
01:52Shout, shout, let it all out.
01:58These are the things I can do without you.
02:03Come on.
02:05I'm talking to you.
02:08Come on.
02:13In Valentine's.
02:17You shouldn't have to sell your soul.
02:23In black and white.
02:28They really, really ought to know.
02:35Shout, shout, let it all out.
02:41These are the things I can do without you.
02:46Come on.
02:48I'm talking to you.
02:51Come on.
02:53I'm talking to you.
02:54Come on.
02:57Oh, my God.
03:49Level B.
03:52Early bird gets the worm, huh, Tony?
03:54Shut up.
04:05Hello again, Luke.
04:07Feeling ready for some more tests?
04:09Sprite, sprightly.
04:13Uh, yeah, I feel great.
04:16Have a seat, please.
04:17You've got another shot.
04:19Just a quick prick.
04:22Lots of shots, just like the army.
04:24Because I'm a conscript, right?
04:26Hop up.
04:35Here we go.
04:38Do we really need these?
04:40That's for your own safety channel.
04:53And hold still.
04:59Yeah, I'll find the vein eventually.
05:05Ah, there.
05:18What's that?
05:24Ah, give him a few seconds.
05:42There.
05:44See?
05:45All fine.
05:46No need to hit you, babe.
05:48What did you just do to me?
05:50Nothing.
05:50Okay, you're fine.
05:52Do you better correct the lenses?
05:56No.
05:57Must be nice.
05:58Look straight ahead.
05:59Look straight ahead.
06:16Keep looking at the screen.
06:18If you look away once, Tony will slap you.
06:21If you look away a second time, he'll shock you.
06:25It's low voltage, but painful.
06:29Eyes on the screen.
06:32Tell us if you see the dots.
06:48Eyes on the screen.
06:51Popow.
07:14Okay, I'm shutting it down.
07:17I didn't expect him to see any dots today.
07:24Okay.
07:25Oh, see, Daisy.
07:28Okay.
07:31Okay.
07:31I don't know.
08:09Night shift takes its fall, aren't we, Delia?
08:13You too.
08:15Have a good evening.
08:20Wake up, Al.
08:25There he is.
08:28You with us, Tiger?
08:33Can I...I'm gonna go back to my...room.
08:38Can I go and lie down?
08:40I'm sick.
08:41The disorientation will pass, although I would skip lunch.
08:45I have another little test, so pay attention.
08:49The correct answer will earn you tokens.
08:53Ready?
08:56What is it?
09:00It's a card.
09:03Just let me go back to my room, please.
09:05I'm tired.
09:07I feel sick, please.
09:08Fucking boo-hoo.
09:11What is this?
09:13A dog taking a shit.
09:15The Brooklyn Bridge.
09:16I killed a whale.
09:17You're out of here.
09:17Fuck.
09:18No!
09:24Next time, try not to be such a pussy.
09:26I'll be so sick.
09:29I'll be so sick.
09:55I'll be so sick.
09:56Look at that.
10:09You got a minute?
10:10Yeah.
10:11Still owe an incident report for the other night.
10:15Yeah, what happens if I don't?
10:18Read one.
10:20Then we send Drew's report by itself to the Bangor DA's office.
10:23Basically becomes the official version.
10:25Sounds like a plan.
10:29Drew's report's a little fuzzy on who did what.
10:36An improvised bandage was fashioned to address the victim's wound.
10:41Drew and I had Mr. Stacy for 11th grade English.
10:44He'd be scandalized to hear a former student using the passive voice.
10:47I'm not sure what you want me to say.
10:49If this is the only report they get,
10:52the geniuses in Bangor will credit Drew with all of it.
10:54I think he's just too modest to say it straight out.
10:57They might even take it upon themselves to hand him a medal for his trouble.
11:01So?
11:03It doesn't bother you to see people treated as heroes for shit they didn't do?
11:07I guess not.
11:12Anyway, all's well that ends well.
11:15Gunmen were taken alive at a rest stop near the border.
11:18And Gertali Dobiera's off-life support expected to recover.
11:22You know our closest ER is in Acadia?
11:25Took him almost two hours to get him there.
11:28Doc says no way he makes it without that bandage.
11:30So, guess Drew saved his life?
11:36You're not a fugitive or something, are you?
11:39What?
11:40I'm just trying to figure out why you're so set on staying out of this.
11:45I spent a lot of years thinking that I needed to involve myself in everything.
11:50You know?
11:51Be the guy to fix what was broken.
11:54So you came here to not be involved?
11:58Something like that.
11:59But you still run towards gunfire, even when you don't have a gun?
12:03Old habits, I guess.
12:06And hey, I know you didn't ask, but you might want to try cutting Drew some slack.
12:12Doing his best, you know.
12:15I cut Drew plenty slack.
12:17Okay, what about me?
12:19What about you?
12:20You might want to try cutting me some slack.
12:22Why would I do that?
12:23Because I'm a nice guy, Wendy.
12:27Nice guys?
12:28Don't have to tell you they're nice.
12:32You say so.
12:55How's he doing?
12:57Or any of us doing.
12:59He's the real deal.
13:00My DP's like listening to a podcast with the volume all the way down, or people talking
13:06in another room, at best, and then it just fades to nothing.
13:10But Avery, he talks to me like a voice in my head.
13:15He's able to pick out names, even ones that I'm not thinking about.
13:17You think being that strong a TP might make you weird?
13:22I mean, because most kids have to learn how to read cues and judge their parents' tone
13:27of voice so they know what's going on around them.
13:36Avery just knows.
13:41You can trust me.
13:42I can help.
13:44I want to go home.
13:45I hate it here, just like you guys.
13:47Hey, do you want some milk in your cereal?
13:49Yes, please.
13:50And a banana.
13:51Sure thing, babe.
13:52We'll get it.
14:06You're so mad.
14:07Just out too mad all the time.
14:13Thanks, Sha.
14:14Luke likes you, you know.
14:15He likes you a lot.
14:17But she likes Nikki, and Nikki doesn't even care.
14:20She knows, but doesn't care.
14:23He's been hurt a lot of times.
14:25When he was little.
14:28That wasn't fair.
14:33Okay.
14:37We're going to have to put this monkey on a leash.
14:41Monkeys love bananas.
14:42Fucking A, kid.
14:44First rule of Fight Club, huh?
14:47I don't know what that means.
14:49It means you need to learn how to keep your mouth shut.
15:06We have to make this quick.
15:08It's sparkler knife.
15:11Anything to report?
15:13Nothing you don't already know.
15:15That Nikki's a pit bull.
15:17He'll keep fighting until he dies.
15:19And the others?
15:20Kalisha trusts me.
15:22So they all do.
15:24They all think they're smart, but they all follow her lead.
15:28Luke Ellis included?
15:30He's the one to watch.
15:32Checking our security all the time.
15:34You can tell he's got a little recorder running in his head.
15:37They all check security, but when was the last time you saw a kid actually test it?
15:43You're wasting your time.
15:45Mine too.
15:47Don't you think our work here is too important for that kind of attitude?
15:50Oh, spare me the rah-rah.
15:52I've got real problems.
15:54Opal turned a blank.
15:56I'm waiting on answers from Emerald.
15:58We may have to scramble this month.
16:01Don't worry.
16:01I've made upstairs well aware of all the problems you're having with the snatch teams.
16:08Keyhole's about to open.
16:10Is there anything else?
16:13I'll clean in here while you're gone.
16:18The new kid?
16:20Avery?
16:21Here's a particularly strong TP.
16:23Watch out for him.
16:24Saying he can read my mind?
16:26Even if I'm guarded?
16:27I'm saying it wouldn't hurt to keep your distance.
16:30And if his baseline's really that high, I can't imagine he'll be here for long anymore.
16:38Dr. Hendricks.
16:41I assume we're going the same way?
16:44Yes, of course.
16:46Ramsey Keyhole opens in a few minutes.
16:49So, you'll be joining us in person?
16:51Is that a problem?
16:53Not at all.
16:54Just been a while.
16:55Well, my schedule.
16:56It's been a bear lately.
16:58But you know I try and get there when I can.
16:59They work you too hard.
17:02Well, I'm glad I ran into you.
17:04I've got two more candidates almost ready for a back half.
17:08Maybe one more session each on the box.
17:10And then that should be that.
17:12Excellent.
17:13I'll make sure we're prepared.
17:15Any updates on the Dixon boy?
17:17You're being careful.
17:20With a BDNF over 90.
17:23Minimal procedures.
17:25No rough stuff.
17:27Turns out he's actually a little slower than expected.
17:31But still on track.
17:33Glad not to hear any more talk about Luke Ellis.
17:35No.
17:36No.
17:37You're right about him.
17:40Scores are so low.
17:42It's not worth the bother.
17:50So, you're not coming?
17:52I'll catch up.
17:53But if I don't, good luck tonight.
17:55And call me with any questions about targeting.
18:00Yeah, sure.
18:25I'll catch up.
18:30Oh, look at him now.
18:32Of course, it must have occurred to you.
18:34Would that?
18:35Even a moderate BDNF score combined with...
18:45Asshole.
18:47Asshole.
18:50Asshole.
18:53Asshole.
18:53Asshole.
18:55Asshole.
18:56Asshole.
18:56Asshole.
18:57Asshole.
18:58Asshole.
19:11Asshole.
19:13Asshole.
19:17i saw dots today in dream box what does that mean it means i'm going to back half soon
19:24is there any way to fight that the dream box it's the worst thing they do here way worse than
19:32anything else it's hendrick says that you can give yourself an embolism if you try and fight it

23:53Oh, I'm great, thanks. I'm great.
23:56What have you got going on here?
23:58What does it look like?
24:00Right.
24:02Oh, the Dalai Lama.
24:05He showed me this.
24:08It keeps them from reading your mind.
24:13Did it wake you, too?
24:14Did what wake me?
24:16Dom.
24:18No, I must have missed it.
24:19Oh. When were you born?
24:21The 80s?
24:22Yes, ma'am. 82.
24:24Oh, you got brain damage.
24:26In the 60s, they started adding isotopes to jet fuel, aluminum dioxide.
24:32They've been seeding the country like crop dusters ever since.
24:35It affects hormone growth, particularly in infants.
24:40Why? You can't hear it.
24:43I see.
24:44Well, makes sense.
24:46The hum is getting worse.
24:49Oh, I never felt it so strong.
24:52Oh, they killed him.
24:55Who killed who?
24:57The bastards.
24:59The pilot error.
25:02They made the pilot read the numbers wrong.
25:08It's telepathy.
25:09They project it.
25:12Shh.
25:14Shh.
25:15Can't say.
25:17Well, that's okay.
25:18I understand.
25:19You have to be careful.
25:21You can't just talk about it.
25:24Stay away from Route 10.
25:27Route 10?
25:29What, the research place?
25:31The infectious disease, whatever it is?
25:33Shh, shh, shh, shh.
25:34Sorry.
25:35Sorry.
25:37Oh.
25:39You think I'm crazy?
25:41They thought Copernicus was crazy.
25:44They thought the Unabomber was crazy.
25:48Oh.
25:48Oh.
25:53Oh, my God.
25:56Oh, then.
25:57Oh.
25:58You ever talk to anybody?
25:59Any, like a doctor?
26:01Oh, no.
26:02They put my mom on Howdol.
26:04Made a big difference for a while.
26:07Whatever they're prescribing now, I'm sure it's even better.
26:09It might make you, you know, it might be soothing.
26:12No, no, no, no, no.
26:13I never touch drugs.
26:15Booze, either.
26:16The last drink was February the 1st, 2003.
26:21Got it.
26:24One minute.
26:25Finish up my rounds, okay?
26:28Keep your eyes open.
26:32All of them.
26:34Yes, ma'am.
26:45I fell asleep the half time.
26:47These games are on too late.
26:49Now you didn't miss much.
26:50Boring fucking series.
26:52As a Heat fan, I'm a part of my law.
26:59That Tony guy misses Florida.
27:01He hates us.
27:03He wanted to kick you when he walked by.
27:05And the other one, Fred, he barely even sees us.
27:09It's like we're not real.
27:12Look, there must be a weak link here, okay?
27:19Hey, Luke.
27:20Yeah?
27:22Looking for licorice?
27:24No.
27:25No, what?
27:26No.
27:33Okay, I hate licorice.
27:38Did you put this in my head?
27:40Sometimes I can.
27:42Avery, my friend, you are a motherfucking cabinet of curiosities.
27:50Hi, Maureen.
27:56Hey.
27:58What about, um, her?
28:01Huh?
28:03What?
28:04She's trying to stay away from me.
28:06Oh, she's got a secret.
28:10She's got a lot of secrets.
28:12Boy, she's sad.
28:14She's real mixed up.
28:15She hates it.
28:16Almost like us.
28:19Is that right?
28:20But she can't trust her.
28:22She tells Zigbee things.
28:23What you talk about, she hates that, too.
28:28Okay.
28:30Bedtime.
28:31And I know her big secret.
28:49Hey.
28:56What?
28:57I got cooties?
29:00Oh, uh...
29:01No, I didn't want to be presumptuous.
29:03Maybe you want to be left alone.
29:04Presumptuous?
29:06You're not from around here, huh?
29:07Uh, no.
29:09I did come here to talk to a human being.
29:12Who else am I going to talk to?
29:16That's fair.
29:27Hi.
29:29I'm Kate.
29:31Kate the Great.
29:32What's your story?
29:34I'm Tim Jameson.
29:36New Night Knocker.
29:37Chief just hired me.
29:40Oh, yeah.
29:41Ed Whitlock's old job.
29:43Good old Whittles.
29:45May he rest in peace.
29:47Cheers.
29:49You want a shot?
29:52Uh, no, thanks.
29:54I, uh, sort of, on duty.
30:01What do you do, Kate?
30:03Web designer.
30:04Oh.
30:05Also, I run the local paper.
30:08Denison Weekly Standard.
30:09Journalist.
30:11The flame of journalism is still alive in Denison.
30:14I think there's anything that even, uh, ever really happened here.
30:19Uh, you heard about the shootout at the Mini Mart?
30:21Yeah.
30:21Yeah, I heard about it.
30:23More excitement than we usually get in a century.
30:26Sometimes a tourist flips a canoe on the river and gets lost.
30:30Oh, and then there's the craft fair.
30:32That's a big one.
30:33Folks come in from as far as Portland and we get traffic jams.
30:38One day a year we get traffic.
30:40Hey, um, can I turn up the TV, the volume?
30:43I feel like you're not listening to me.
30:46Thanks.
30:48Again, our top story.
30:50North Dakota Senator Gavin Ramsey here dead after a small plane crash during what should
30:55have been a routine flight with family home in Minot.
30:58A spokesman for the NTSC said weather conditions at the time of the accident were challenging
31:02but not impossible.
31:04What?
31:07Oh, uh, sorry.
31:10Something, somebody, uh, you're from around here.
31:13All right, what can you tell me about that big, uh, disease research place up on Route
31:1710?
31:18The Institute?
31:19Yeah, there you go.
31:20Aliens.
31:21Illuminati.
31:23What do you mean?
31:24Alien spacecraft.
31:26Sasquatch breeding.
31:28Sasquatch breeding?
31:29Yikes.
31:30No, I, uh, I have mind control.
31:33Like, telepathy or whatever.
31:36Mm, boring.
31:37Oh.
31:37So tame.
31:40Most people say aliens.
31:42Area 52.
31:44I'm going to write the big expose.
31:46Win a Pulitzer.
31:47Oh.
31:50Who said mind control?
31:52Oh, um, do you know Annie?
31:55She lives in a tent behind the freight depots.
31:57Everyone knows Annie.
31:58She's not even the craziest person in town.
32:00Maybe, like, third craziest.
32:04Thing is, she, uh, she didn't just say mind control.
32:09She, uh, she said that they were going to use it to crash a plane.
32:16Make it look like pilot error.
32:19You think this is what she meant?
32:22I mean, uh, but what is that place?
32:27You know, what are they actually doing there?
32:30As far as I can tell, they don't do shit.
32:34It's some Cold War pork project, like Antenna Ray in Winter Harbor.
32:39Probably have anthrax from 1952 locked in a freezer.
32:43Use that to justify 18 jobs.
32:46No one's doing research.
32:47But government waste is old news.
32:52Yeah, Sasquatch breeding is better.
32:55Definitely sexier.
33:00Shit, uh, is that late?
33:06Get me a decent photo of Bigfoot.
33:08We'll make hundreds.
33:15And air?
33:18And release.
33:23Amazing throw.
33:24Fucking beautiful.
33:25He doesn't really think that was a good throw.
33:27No shit.
33:33Okay, so no mics, but do we think there might be motion sensors out here?
33:37I don't think they need them.
33:39They don't care what we do out here.
33:41They probably don't really believe any kid will try and make a serious attempt.
33:44Well, we're not going out under.
33:47It's very solid here.
33:49But even if we could, aren't you forgetting something?
33:51What's that?
33:53No, I'm not forgetting.
33:55The opportunity for defeating the enemy is provided by the enemy.
34:00The rocks say that?
34:23They make that patrol twice a day, twice a night, six hours apart.
34:29Twelve, twelve, and six, always the same way, clockwise.
34:33And I bet it's shift change.
34:36After midnight, before 6 a.m., I'd say 1 to 1.30.
34:40That's the sweet spot.
34:41I love dogs.
34:43I love dogs.
34:43You can never get one.
34:45Mom's allergic.
34:53Uh, Avery?
34:55First to Avery.
34:57Dogs don't protect their thoughts.
35:01They let you ride with them.
35:06Uh, can you see what the dog sees?
35:11Sort of.
35:19There's another fence.
35:21Well, old and rust is.
35:23Grass is tall.
35:23That fence is rusty, rusty.
35:25Nobody goes there.
35:27So, you saw another fence?
35:29Yeah.
35:29It's another playground.
35:31All old.
35:33There's another playground.
35:35Is it attached to the back half?
35:37Eh, I don't know.
35:38I mean, the grass was high in yellow and the fence all rusted.
35:42Now, do you think that we could dig underneath it?
35:53I think so.
35:54The dog was digging under it.
35:57Okay, but how do we get back there?
35:59I mean, besides the obvious.
36:00Okay.
36:02Avery, did you see any kids there?
36:04No, looks like no one's ever out there.
36:08But, I don't want to go there.
36:10Back half.
36:11What's back there?
36:12Can you feel it?
36:15Shaw!
36:20No!
36:29Dreambox?
36:31Was it bad?
36:34It connected to them.
36:38I'm sorry, Shaw.
36:45You will see me no more?
37:01Goodbye, front half for you.
37:04Goodbye, front half for you.
37:06Goodbye, front half, dear Kalisha.
37:10Goodbye, front half for you.
37:29I'm so proud of you.
37:32Kalisha, you're ready to serve your country.
37:36You've worked so hard, and it's much appreciated.
37:40No one will know your sacrifice, not even you.
37:44But, you're going home.
37:50Congratulations!
37:59I should make you eat that.
38:10I'm going to stay in touch, Shaw, okay?
38:12I'm getting stronger, and you are too.
38:14I'm going to stay in touch with you.
38:15Okay.
38:17Avery will try.
38:23You really do have to try, Shaw.
38:27Can you read anything else, huh?
38:41Hey, bud, come with me for a sec.
38:43Why?
38:44Just come.
38:45Why?
38:50Stay strong.
38:52I'll be there in a few days when they send me back there, okay?
38:56That's supposed to make me feel better?
38:58What's the hope?
39:08Thanks, hon.
39:09Just put him down there.
39:11Looking to take my job?
39:13No one can take your job, Maureen.
39:15You're the best.
39:17You are gonna end up running this place.
39:20It's too late for me.
39:25You hate these graduations, don't you?
39:30You better get back.
39:32It's not too late, Maureen.
39:46We need to see what's back there.
39:48Okay, maybe Sha can get into the playground.
39:52Okay, everyone, give me your hands.
39:54Give me your hand.
39:56Give me your hand.
39:56Everyone, give me your hands.
40:19Okay, guys.
40:24Time to go.
40:25Ms. Fenson?
40:30Tony!
40:31All right, enough.
40:33Get your hands off!
40:34No, no, no!
40:35No, no!
40:36Please!
40:38No!
40:39No, don't fight!
40:40It's not the time!
40:41It's not the time.
40:42When will be?
40:43Not now!
40:44Not ever!
40:45It's just...
40:46It's just...
40:47Let go of me!
40:48Stop!
40:49Damn it!
40:51Stop!
40:58Stop!
41:07Stop!
41:08Stop!
41:08Stop!
41:08Stop!
41:09Stop!
41:11Stop!
41:12Stop!
41:12Stop!
41:23Stop!
41:24Stop!
41:34Oh no, no!
41:41Don't wait.
41:42DetDay!
42:05She's in a tunnel.
42:07It's dark and scary.
42:21Annie, isn't it an almond hour?
42:29I'm having a hard time.
42:32It's too far and all the stone.
42:38Annie, you in there?
42:43It's me, it's Tim.
42:44I'm having a hard time.
43:35I lost her.
43:36I lost her.
43:38I'm not strong enough.
43:39Sean!
43:40Sean!
43:41No, that's okay.
43:43We'll find her.
43:45We'll find her again.
43:54Don't Trump,
43:55You once said that,
43:56Come on.
43:59Be sure we can do this.
