00:17Previously, on the Institute.
00:19What was that?
00:21We feel it sometimes.
00:22It's definitely something coming from Back Half.
00:25I can't really tell you what's going on in there.
00:26No contact.
00:27But I thought Back Half was a good thing, you know, one step closer to home.
00:32It is, supposedly.
00:34The Alice Boy's superior IQ might make him uniquely valuable.
00:40Don't worry.
00:41The microphones on this corridor are experiencing a temporary malfunction.
00:48I have a possible security risk.
00:52I don't credit Mr. Stackhouse's gossip about you.
00:56Hard to expect me to credit yours about him.
01:01They made the pilot read the numbers wrong.
01:05North Dakota Senator Gavin Ramsey here dead after a small plane crash.
01:11What can you tell me about the big disease research place up on Route 10?
01:15The Institute?
01:16What is that place?
01:18You know, what are they actually doing there?
01:21As far as I can tell, they don't do shit.
01:26What we really need will be to recruit an inside man.
01:30Boy, she's sad.
01:32And I know her big secret.
01:35It's not too late, Marine.
01:37It's not too late, Marine.
01:45It connected to them.
01:48They won't see me no more.
01:58I lost her.
01:59It's okay.
02:01We'll find her.
02:15Shout, shout, let it all out.
02:20These are the things I can do without you.
02:26Come on, I'm talking to you.
02:31Come on.
02:36In Valentine's.
02:41You shouldn't have to sell your soul.
02:46In black and white.
03:11I'm talking to you.
03:14Come on.
03:48I don't like when you think things like that.
03:51Things like what?
03:53You know.
03:54Easy fix, then, Avery.
03:56Just say the fuck out of my head.
03:59I hate it here so much.
04:02Okay, I'm sorry.
04:03I just, I thought we would have heard from her by now.
04:06Okay, just promise me you won't think that you might be dead.
04:09Believe me, I'm trying to.
04:13It's probably just the distance, though, right?
04:16I mean, she's far away.
04:18They probably designed it like that.
04:20You don't believe that.
04:21Well, I'm trying to.
04:27Okay, I, I...
04:29I won't think she could be dead.
04:31Okay?
04:32You have my word.
04:37Oh, God.
04:38Your fingers are sticky.
04:40I don't like spoons.
04:54Uh, hi.
04:56My name is, uh, Luke.
04:58And this is Avery.
05:02George and Nikki.
05:04And believe me...
05:04What was our last set of twins three years ago?
05:08The Davidsons.
05:10Davidsons.
05:11Good memory.
05:13Dr. Hendricks, didn't you have a theory that twins might be able to amp each other's abilities?
05:20Well, I believe I said it was worth further study.
05:23Particularly in the area of PC.
05:25I believe you said that...
05:29It allowed for the development of a PC of less than exceptional intelligence.
05:34The Davidsons were certainly there.
05:36Well, at any rate, we agreed research of that kind would be impractical.
05:43Yes, we did.
05:47I know how weird you guys must be feeling because, you know, we've been through that.
05:52I peed.
05:55Uh, it passes.
05:58Mostly.
06:01I'm Gerda.
06:03I'm Gerda.
06:03Are we dead?
06:06What the fuck?
06:09Where the hell am I?
06:11Where the fuck am I?
06:12The Institute.
06:13My name's Avery.
06:14Out of my face!
06:14Hey, hey, hey.
06:15Leave it alone, man.
06:16Big fella.
06:16All right, I know you're confused, but let's just keep our hands to ourselves.
06:19And we'll explain...
06:20Let's see what they do.
06:22What if they get damaged?
06:24We're seizing the opportunity to observe their response to stress.
06:28Call it a calculated risk.
06:30Who the fuck are you?
06:31I'm Nick Willow and this is Luke Ellis, George Isles, and this is Avery.
06:36You should apologize to him.
06:39What?
06:40I mean, look, we all get it.
06:41We all remember how scary it is waking up the first time.
06:44And that's why you yelled at him, right?
06:46Because you're scared.
06:47I mean, even if he weighs less than one of your legs.
06:49I'm all scared.
06:51I don't fucking apologize.
06:53Maybe this time, boss.
06:54I mean, look, you tell him you're sorry, we fill you in as far as we can.
07:00What if I don't?
07:03Huh?
07:04Look, I know it's your first day.
07:08But my experience with bullies is you gotta cut them down early.
07:12I'd like to see you try.
07:16It's okay, guys.
07:17I'm fine.
07:17Fuck you.
07:19Fuck your apology.
07:21I don't know what this place is, but I'm lost in.
07:24Now get out of my face.
07:25I'm not going anywhere, neither are you.
07:26You're here for the long haul, man, just like us.
07:29Last warning.
07:30Move.
07:31Bro, I'll lay you the fuck out.
07:36Look at all you fuckers, then.
07:38All right, we're not your problem, man.
07:40Okay?
07:44Okay.
07:47Okay.
07:48All right.
07:49Up and at him.
07:55Where am I?
07:56The Institute.
07:57Like Avery tried to tell you, actually.
08:01How did I get here?
08:02Look, like I said, I'll answer anything you want.
08:07But you need to cut the shit, because this place is bad enough without a...
08:11I'm gonna puke.
08:13Come on, help me.
08:14Come on.
08:17Yeah, I can go.
08:29I think I'm gonna pass out.
08:31Nope, you're not.
08:33You still owe Avery an apology.
08:37Whatever.
08:39Sorry I yelled at you, kid.
08:41Harry?
08:43Mr. Sixby and Dr. Hendricks would like to see you now.
08:47Who the fuck are they?
08:48Who the fuck are you?
08:49They are in charge.
08:51Yeah, good luck with the queen, bitch.
08:53Look, she'll answer all your questions, except for the ones, you know, she won't.
08:57I'm not fucking going in.
08:59Remember what Coach Finley said before the state semis at Montgomery Catholic?
09:10Keep moving.
09:17How did you know he was thinking about football?
09:22You're a TP now!
09:23Shh, keep your voice down, yeah?
09:28But you are.
09:29I can see it in your head.
09:30I told you it happened.
09:33Shots for dots.
09:36Why didn't you tell us?
09:37I was hoping it wasn't real, you know, but now I've got to figure out a way to hide it.
09:41They send you to back half.
09:43Our plans are fucked.
09:44That's right.
09:45So we carry on like nothing's changed, yeah?
09:48Okay, yeah, and I'll keep looking for Shaw.
09:50Yeah.
09:53Uh, yeah.
09:54I do, I want to make sure she's...
09:55Of course, dude.
09:56Yeah, I get it.
09:57Hey, what did Coach Finley say?
09:59Uh, don't lose your temper until it's timed.
10:02You don't lose your temper.
10:06I know that you all knew Annie a lot better than I did, but an OD, it doesn't fit with
10:12what I saw.
10:13Obviously, it's no secret.
10:14She had issues.
10:15I believe the term most people used is bat shit crazy.
10:18See, see, Annie, see, Annie didn't think of her crazy as crazy.
10:21She thought that it was her superpower.
10:23She wanted to feel everything.
10:24She also said the earth was flat.
10:25She saw the edge when she was a kid working a muscle dragger out of Jonesport.
10:30All I'm asking is, does an OD track here?
10:35You all, you all dealt with her lots of times.
10:38Was she ever high?
10:39Did she ever catch her stealing booze or any...
10:42No, but I'm no addiction expert.
10:44Thank God.
10:45She told me that mind-altering substances, they dulled the sharpness of her purpose.
10:50That's why she wouldn't take anti-psychotics.
10:52So why would you...
10:52I do respect, Tim.
10:54You knew Annie, what, a week?
10:56Yeah.
10:57She put up a good front.
10:59But she know what life on the streets means, even around here.
11:05I want to get the tox screen back.
11:08Tox screen?
11:09Yeah.
11:10Toxicology report for the postmortem.
11:13A request like that has got to go through the state's crime lab down in Augusta.
11:18Which means that in addition to the $3,700 this department does not have,
11:22we would not see the results for at least another three weeks.
11:27Now, I might be able to swing that.
11:29Maybe.
11:31If I believed for one second that we would find out anything new about Annie's death.
11:35But I would be good and goddamned if I spent that kind of time and money on a report
11:39when I already know what it's going to say.
11:41I don't like it, Chief.
11:43Well, lucky for me, I don't give a Frenchman's fuck what you do and do not like.
11:53I know that you feel some sort of personal connection to this, given your family history.
11:59But what I'm trying to say is there's no, there's no there, there.
12:06I know what the night shift can do to a fella's mind.
12:10Ed Whitlock used to say all the time that he thought he saw all kinds of shit walking your beat.
12:16And I also know that you're upset.
12:19So take the night off.
12:21Catch up on your sleep.
12:23I'm fine, thank you.
12:25Son, you do not look fine and that was not a request.
12:27I appreciate your concern, Chief.
12:28My concern is that you're running around playing cop.
12:32Your job is to knock on doors to make sure that they're locked.
12:35Everyone inside is tucked in safe and sound.
12:38That's it.
12:40Nothing else.
12:42We clear on that?
12:44Yes, sir.
12:46Sorry for wasting your time.
13:03Hey!
13:07What?
13:09Look, I'm sorry.
13:10Chief was hot when he heard you were questioning cause of death.
13:13Thought you were trying to show the Hicks what a big city cop can do.
13:16I figured he'd calm down if he knew about your emotional connection to the case.
13:25It's your story to tell.
13:26And I'm sorry.
13:29She didn't OD.
13:31Okay?
13:32She did.
13:35I never saw her drink.
13:39Her tent's still up, you know?
13:42Crew from the dump's coming to haul it away, but they can't get here till tomorrow.
13:45Crew from the dump's coming to half the door.
13:50For what?
14:12We're on.
14:13Fetch the Ellis way.
14:15I'll meet you on B-level.
14:17Copy that.
14:50Fetch the Ellis way.
14:59Welcome, Luke.
15:02This is the essential part of what we do here.
15:06This goes to why you're here.
15:09You should be excited.
15:11Yeah, I am.
15:14I thought Dreambox was supposed to be the last.
15:17Was that what you thought, smart boy?
15:20But that would mean that you don't know everything.
15:23Sometimes, in special cases, we switch things up.
15:26It keeps everyone on their toes.
15:27Right.
15:28So my, uh, special case?
15:29Not to me.
15:33Think of it as garbage day.
15:35We're going to show you some images that will help you to clean house.
15:42You may have noticed psychic power is activated and enhanced by physical pain.
15:48Our conundrum is that joining the hum requires divorcing yourself from your body, which makes physical pain counterproductive.
15:56The solution, psychic pain.
15:59Keep in mind, Luke, as soon as you connect to the hum, all the pain stops.
16:08There you go.
16:09There you go.
16:10Okay.
16:13Okay.
16:16No.
16:17More shots.
16:18Come on.
16:19Oh, you can hardly feel this one.
16:20Come on.
16:26My God.
16:37Let's go.
16:58Let's go.
17:29Stop, please.
17:30Stop.
17:50You don't escape off the abyss, Frank.
17:54You look into it.
17:56It looks right back at you.
17:59Your brain is a gift.
18:02Your brain, and what it can do, is a gift.
18:07Oh, my God.
18:08Oh, my God.
18:40I don't know.
19:05I don't know.
19:27Oh, hey.
19:28Move.
19:29It's me, Avery.
19:31Avery, can I catch up with you in the morning?
19:33They just gave me the box.
19:34I've got her.
19:35I've got Kalisha.
19:36What?
19:37What?
19:38What do you mean you've got her?
19:40Like you can hear her right now?
19:42See her too.
19:43Want me to show you?
19:45Yeah, what do you mean?
19:47I think I can do it.
19:48The shots have been making me feel so much stronger.
19:52Don't worry.
19:53I washed them.
20:00Don't let go.
20:11Don't let go.
20:34Holy fuck, it works.
20:40You're really here.
20:43Yep, I guess I am.
20:47God, it is so good.
20:50I mean, I'm so relieved.
20:52I know, me too.
20:55Look, I don't know how long I have with you guys here, but...
20:59Yeah, yeah, Avery's had a real hard time reaching you.
21:05Yeah.
21:06I guess I've been in sort of a daze since I got here.
21:10I mean, everyone here is sort of in a daze.
21:14But obvious difference, number one.
21:17You get to wear this very, very sexy jumpsuit.
21:20Oh.
21:22Do you think it's because they're washing our clothes so we can wear them home?
21:28Uh, could be.
21:30Yeah.
21:31Because uniform promotes community.
21:34That's why they're so popular with fascists and communists.
21:40What's that noise?
21:42Wait, you can hear that?
21:43I wish I couldn't.
21:46Luke, can you hear that?
21:48Not a whisper.
21:50Lucky you.
21:51When you're actually back here, it's pretty much the only thing that you can hear.
21:55I think even the guards can feel it.
21:59Oh, no, I know that makes it sound bad, but...
22:02Actually, the thing is, in a lot of ways, back half's a lot better than front half.
22:05There's no more tokens, so...
22:08Candy, booze, smokes.
22:12A lot free.
22:13No more tests.
22:15No more deprivation tank.
22:16No more fucking dream box.
22:18Yeah, pretty much all they do is gather us for movie nights.
22:21At least that's what they call it.
22:24Feels more like...
22:27Do you know those Twitch games that grown men play?
22:30Like it's like, soldier?
22:32Something?
22:33First person shooter?
22:35Yeah, except you're not shooting, just living.
22:38Living?
22:41Last night we were brushing our teeth, then we were driving.
22:46Then we were doing doctor stuff, like...
22:48Checking in on patients, giving injections, that sort of thing.
22:52And you were watching the screen the whole time?
22:56No.
22:58Actually,
23:00the movie on the screen was from across the exam room.
23:05It sort of looked like the camera was filming from inside someone's shirt.
23:09I could only see the doctor's point of view when I closed my eyes.
23:18Hey, Iris?
23:24Hey, Sha.
23:29You got with you?
23:31What do you mean?
23:43Sorry. I'm just tired. It's okay. I'll see you later.
24:02Something's wrong inside her head. Really wrong.
24:06Movie nights take a toll. They make you feel clear at first. I'm pretty sure that's
24:11why I could reach you guys, but the headache, it just comes back worse every time.
24:18And I think Iris has just been through too many of them. They're gonna move her on soon.
24:25Will they send her home?
24:31First, they'll have her lead a sparkler night, and then they'll move her to recovery.
24:37That's where the home's coming from.
24:39Yeah, it's true. I think even I can hear that.
24:45Avery, can you see what's behind that door?
24:48No, I don't want to.
24:49Avery, look, we gotta know.
24:51No! No!
24:56I don't want to.
25:01Ice cream.
25:37So there's no dream box in back half? Ever?
25:41No, she didn't say so.
25:43Hmm, well, sign me the fuck up.
25:46You miss what he said about Iris ashing in her fucking oatmeal?
25:49Okay. So it takes a toll on you being back there, so what? They send you to recovery,
25:53then you go home.
25:54Wow. You really are just dead set on believing their bullshit.
25:58And you're so smart, you know everything, huh?
26:00Lucy's through it. I mean, he knows.
26:04That's right, Georgie. The resident genius agrees with...
26:08Okay.
26:11You really think there's no chance we can trust him?
26:14I think we still don't know. Bullshit.
26:16Yeah, get caught trying to break out of this place. All bets are off.
26:20We need to see behind that door.
26:25Where did they bond it so quick, huh?
26:28It's more evidence for the George Isles theory of institute relationships.
26:33Yeah, I just hope he's not, uh, interfering with them.
26:38What? Your grandma's never made you watch Dateline?
26:41I never knew my grandma's grandpa's either, actually.
26:46Aves.
26:50Can you see what Harry thinks of the twins?
26:56Whoa. Careful.
26:58He had Cocker Spaniels back home.
27:01Technically, they were his mom's.
27:03Anyway, those girls are like his...
27:06substitutes. Yeah.
27:08I don't know what Harry was like with his dogs, but those little girls pretty much run him.
27:15When thunder roars, head indoors.
27:17Yeah, it looks like we're about to get drenched.
27:21Luke.
27:22A word, if you please?
27:26Alone?
27:29It's okay. It's all right.
27:44Did we, um, go into your office?
27:47It's, um, about to start pouring.
27:52You told me you're afraid of a little water.
27:56You know, I feel I saw somewhere that those things are bad for you.
28:02Sometimes it's fun to be bad.
28:07I'm afraid we have a problem.
28:12Some of your test scores aren't corroborating with the progress you're clearly making.
28:19Any idea why that might be?
28:22Your smoke? It's ruining the petrichor.
28:26Petrichor. No wonder you aced the SAPs.
28:31You know, I read this interview once with a chess player, Josh Waitzkin, maybe.
28:36Anyway, he said the first thing he likes to know about his opponents is what they would do if they're
28:42caught in the rain.
28:44If they go inside, he would play an open and wild game, and they'd lose.
28:53I love the rain.
28:55Yep, we'll see.
28:57If they stayed outside, he figured they would draw into chaos and play a close, tight game until they ran
29:06out of patience.
29:08Then they'd lose.
29:09You still haven't answered my question.
29:11Why aren't my test results showing them what you want them to? I don't know.
29:16Maybe because the tests are bullshit, and so is this place, and so are you, with all due respect.
29:24I'm not the enemy, though.
29:25Oh, yeah? Who is, then?
29:29Dr. Hendricks put you through the dream box last night.
29:32Are you asking me or telling me?
29:39I thought Dr. Hendricks would keep you apprised.
29:42He does.
29:43You may have noticed there are no cameras in the testing rooms.
29:48Yeah, it's probably smart.
29:50Not really the kind of video you'd want played at your war crimes tribunal.
29:53So no video means I have to trust my people to tell me.
30:00Although now, you're not sure if you can trust them.
30:07Why would Hendricks roll behind your back?
30:12To undermine you?
30:14To maybe even replace you?
30:19Why are we even out here having this conversation in the rain?
30:25Is it because they'll hear us in your office?
30:31You think Stackhouse is going against you, too.
30:38Stop fighting me, Luke.
30:40Why? Because you're not the enemy?
30:43Because you can't win.
31:15Why would it be weird?
31:21Come in.
31:33What's with him?
31:35He ate a bad oyster.
31:36I am really not in the mood for your bullshit.
31:38Tony, he's in bad shape, man.
31:40Do you think so, doctor?
31:42The shots hit everyone different.
31:45God damn it.
31:48See, he needs a doctor, man.
31:50You need to mind your own damn business.
31:53We need a clean up.
31:54East Wing, South Hall.
31:57Unless you want to clean it up, genius.
32:01Get up.
32:23You don't gotta keep me company for this, Luke.
32:27I know these tests are hard.
32:28Yeah, you can drop the ah-shucks routine.
32:32Luke.
32:33You know what they do here.
32:39I can't see.
32:42I can't see.
32:51I can't see you.
32:53I don't know if you need to pay for your money.
32:53I can't see it.
32:54I can't see you.
32:54I can't see it.
32:55I can't see you.
32:57I can't see you.
32:59I can see you.
33:05Listen, anything you need to say without them hearing, you say it here by the ice machine
33:12or the playground.
33:14Nowhere else.
33:16We can't talk for long.
33:23You never know who's watching.
33:25You're the only one who feels ashamed, Maureen.
33:30The only one.
33:33What do you want?
33:35Why not blow the whistle?
33:38To who?
33:39You have no idea what these people are capable of.
33:50What was his name?
33:54Jacob.
33:54Your son.
33:56What was his name?
34:02Jacob.
34:05But he made everyone call him Jake.
34:08Because Jacob is a grown-up's name.
34:11Well, he was a kid.
34:16Yeah.
34:18So am I.
34:19A kid.
34:21We're all fucking kids here.
34:25There's nothing I can do.
34:27Look, I'm not Jake.
34:29I know that.
34:30But the thing is, I could be.
34:38So could anybody else here.
34:40I can't do anything.
34:44I'm a glorified janitor.
34:48You're stronger than you think, Maureen.
35:03Most people bring wine.
35:05It appears you're a man after my own heart.
35:07Most people also bring the bottle full, but I guess it's the thought.
35:10I found it in Annie's tent.
35:12At least you went peacefully.
35:15Do me a favor.
35:16That's what it is.
35:17Just take a close look at that.
35:20See if anything stands out.
35:25$11.99.
35:27Annie drinks the good stuff.
35:30I've known Annie a lot longer than I have, but, um, have you ever once seen her?
35:39Without her lipstick?
35:40Mm-hmm.
35:42Actually, I don't think I have.
35:44Yeah, so what if the reason there's no lipstick on the bottle is because it never touched her lips?
35:51What if, I don't know, somebody honoled it down her throat?
35:54You have any idea how ridiculous that sounds?
35:57Who would do that?
35:58Why?
35:59Shut her up without drawing attention.
36:01Shut her up about what?
36:02Did NASA have her killed because she knew the truth about the moon landings?
36:06You know, the senator claimed it down a few days ago?
36:09Ramsey, North Dakota.
36:10My dad liked him.
36:11Yeah, well, Annie told me about that before it was on TV.
36:18Come on.
36:29Red Steps Tragedy?
36:32That's the map Annie drew of the area.
36:36When you were here back then, what do you remember about it?
36:41Hang on.
36:55Page three.
37:01Wait, so you knew them?
37:04Not really.
37:05They were seniors.
37:06I was just a frosh.
37:12Okay.
37:13I only took a year of high school French, but...
37:16Notre Pente.
37:17Doesn't that mean our bread?
37:20Yeah.
37:20It's some weird inside joke they all had.
37:22We never understood it.
37:26Oh.
37:27Seems like I'm not the only one with a deception.
37:29That has nothing to do with the Red Steps.
37:31Oh.
37:32Give me a break.
37:36Your shift's about to start.
37:38Yes, it is.
37:41My dinner's ready.
37:55Anything else I can get you?
37:56Yeah.
37:57I was wondering if tomorrow maybe you might let me borrow your car.
38:05Sure.
38:07Thanks.
38:15I'm here.
38:17Please just have the other side of the bed.
38:20Why don't you eat?
38:22Shut up.
38:26Fuck off.
38:27Fuck off.
38:29Just kill us.
38:31No!
38:32No!
38:33No!
38:34No!
38:35No!
38:36No!
38:37No!
38:41No!
38:43Just kill me.
38:43It's over here.
38:45No, there's chaos.
38:48We just hit two of the dead gonna singeman.
38:50This can be the next one.
38:59That's why the left's behind two.
39:02Can't become a block.
39:04No!
39:05Harry, I didn't mean to hurt you.
39:08Brenna, please, wake up.
39:23Why isn't anybody eating?
39:26It's the most important meal of the day.
39:37So, I know we're all disturbed by the unfortunate incident last night between Harry Cross and the Wilcox girls.
39:52As most of you know, following the visual field and acuity tests, you know them as shots for dots.
40:04Harry suffered a slight seizure, and when Greta tried to comfort him, he inadvertently struck her, resulting in some neck
40:17sprain and a little light head trauma.
40:23All three are resting comfortably and expected to make a full recovery.
40:31And in no way will this incident affect or put in jeopardy the important work we're all doing.
40:45But I want you to know that Harry felt so awful about injuring his friend, and Greta so graciously accepted
41:00his apology saying,
41:01After all, accidents happen.
41:06So, let's follow in their example of generosity by picking up the slack that their absence has left.
41:17That's the true spirit of friendship.
41:21Can we see them?
41:22No.
41:24No.
41:32Anyone, um, who contradicts anything that I'm saying is lying and should be reported.
41:40Okay.
41:43Am I understood?
41:44Do you understand?
41:48If I'm understood, can I get a yes, Ms. Sixby?
41:52Yes, Ms. Sixby.
41:54Oh, you can do better than that.
41:57Yes, Ms. Sixby.
42:00Excellent.
42:03Enjoy your breakfast.
42:14Fucked up last night, man.
42:16You were so brave.
42:17David, how do I explain I knew what was going on in that room?
42:22And there were a couple guards closer than I was.
42:24They didn't hear a thing.
42:25We're gonna know your TP.
42:27Look, if I just sent it back half, you know, maybe I'll look for that old playground.
42:34You know, the one with the dog saw with the old fence.
42:36Oh, yeah.
42:37So, maybe it's a good thing.
42:41No.
42:42You know, we haven't done any recon back there.
42:45You know, Kalisha hasn't told us anything about security, cameras, bed checks.
42:50If we're gonna pull this off, it's gotta be what we're still in front half.
42:54And we better do it soon.
42:59Do you...
43:02Do you ever see things before they happen?
43:09Don't think so.
43:11Before?
43:12Why?
43:14Luke?
43:23I need you to come with me.
43:24I thought it was breakfast, and then...
43:26You want to make it harder than it has to be?
43:52I need you to come with me.
43:58Aside from the normal tests that we conduct here,
44:02there are some certain special somethings
44:06that we save for certain special kids.
44:10Especially those who don't always tell the truth.
44:13Do you always tell the truth, Luke?
44:17Of course.
44:19Wow. Here's your chance to prove it.
44:22Are you TP?
44:24No.
44:25No, I'm TK.
44:27Remember?
44:28No.
44:29TK is what you were when you got here.
44:31By now, we should have been able to unlock your TP as well.
44:36It's supposed to happen once you see the dots.
44:38Well, maybe it just doesn't work for everybody.
44:41But it does.
44:45Everybody.
44:47Because the abilities are related.
44:50If you have one, you have the capacity to develop the others.
44:54I was on the team that proved it.
44:55It's okay.
44:56Maybe I haven't developed yet.
44:59You saw the dots.
45:01It's science.
45:05We have found over the years that instinctive primal fear reactions,
45:13galvanic fear reactions, you might say,
45:15are extremely helpful in generating authentic responses.
45:26Hence...
45:38You're going to make me do it for you.
45:41You're going to make me do it for you.
45:56You're going to make me do it for you.
46:08Luke, when you feel your lungs start to deflate,
46:13you may be tempted to try to hold your breath.
46:17But given the risk of rupture,
46:19I have to recommend against.
46:24Now,
46:26I'm thinking of an animal.
46:30What is it?
46:35I don't know.
46:39I don't know.
46:40Okay, sport.
46:41That's how you want to play it.
47:19That was 15 seconds.
47:21The next time will be 30.
47:25Now,
47:26what animal am I thinking of?
47:30Please don't know, okay?
47:32I told you.
47:33I'm not TP.
47:35I'm TK.
47:36And I'm not even TK positive yet.
47:40Okay, sport.
47:4130 seconds this time.
47:42It's not going to get any easier.
47:44Oh.
47:49No.
47:49No, no, no, no.
47:58No, no, no, no.
48:50No, no, no, no, no.
48:55Now, I'm thinking of a sports team.
48:58Sports team, go!
49:01I fucking don't know!
49:04Abalone fisherman can hold their breath for nine minutes.
49:07Now, what team is he thinking of?
49:51Abalone fisherman can hold their breath for nine minutes.
49:53Fuck all the sports teams and the animals and all that bullshit.
49:57All you have to tell us is the truth.
49:59You're TP now, aren't you?
50:06I'm TP now! Say it!
50:09Tell me...
50:10I have Maureen take him back to his room.
50:19Matt.
50:25See? Right on time.
50:27Don't have to tell me twice.
50:29Let's slow it down a bit.
50:32Lydia Sigsby wants to slow it down.
50:35Next thing I know, you'll be wanting to talk.
50:38I do.
50:39Actually.
50:42Just keep in mind, I popped my daddy's little helper almost a half hour ago.
50:47You've been working with Luke Ellis off the books.
50:51That's ridiculous.
50:53You gave him the dream box last night, though he's not do it for another week.
50:58You're running him through the PC track.
51:01Aren't you?
51:06It was Stackhouse's idea.
51:09I mean, not initially, but he's the one who told me to keep going.
51:14After I told you to stop.
51:15Julia, I'm so, so sorry.
51:19I...
51:20Have you...
51:20Have you told them?
51:23Not yet.
51:24Please.
51:26I swear I will shut it down.
51:29It'll never happen again.
51:31Any idea what Stackhouse plans to do with Ellis once you've built him into a precog?
51:35Uh, sell him off.
51:37To anyone in particular?
51:40Highest bidder.
51:43How's he doing?
51:45Luke?
51:46Well, uh, the IQ makes me optimistic, but...
51:52You know, the PC development is a slow process, so...
51:57Yes, I do know.
51:58One of the reasons we put the project on hold...
52:01Well, I'll just tell Stackhouse it's over.
52:03You'll tell Stackhouse nothing.
52:05Other than the deprivation tank proved Ellis' TP,
52:08and I'm insisting on sending him to the back half immediately.
52:12But it didn't prove it.
52:17You're kidding.
52:18Tony choked him out seven times.
52:21Kid never budged.
52:26Send him to the back half anyway.
52:29I know I don't have to tell you what'll happen
52:32if we connect him to the hum before he's got access to his TP.
52:36He has access.
52:37He's just not admitting it.
52:39That's a hell of a risk!
52:44Fine.
52:46Let's leave things as they are for the moment.
52:51And don't say another word to Stackhouse.
52:54Move to your couch!
53:06What about Ellis?
53:09What about him?
53:11We still need to find a way to prove he's TP.
53:14Leave that to me.
53:18Luke!
53:19Luke!
53:20I could feel you!
53:22You were dying.
53:22That was so scary!
53:23Hey, no, I wasn't dying.
53:26They were just messing around.
53:28Get some rest, Luke.
53:29I've got to get back to work.
53:31Okay.
53:33Thanks, Marie.
53:48Okay, I've got to go.
53:51Luke, don't fall asleep.
53:53What?
53:54I know it's behind that door.
53:56The one that Charles showed us.
53:57I saw it in Maureen's head.
53:59I saw it in Maureen's head.
54:18I saw it in Maureen's head.
54:41I saw it in Maureen's head.
54:41I saw it in Maureen.
54:41I saw it in Maureen's head.
54:42I saw it coming out.
54:50I saw it in Maureen's head.
