They're really sorry for hurting you.
It 's okay.
No, it 's not.
Here. I got you something.
I got you some stuff. Here.
I don't know what you like so I got you what I like.
I'm not supposed to eat too much candy.
- Look at this. - But I do.
Listen to me, anything that you want...
if you wanna go see a movie, go to the park...
whatever you want, you tell me.
I'll see you again soon.
Was that guy in here?
- He's my friend. - What do you mean?
- He's gonna take me to a movie. - What? What 's his name?
- I forget. - You fucking forget everything!
Where do I know that guy?
You gotta sign the check again.
Here!
- What do I write? - Jesus Christ...
do we have to go over this every goddamn month?
Write Pay to the Order of William Caputo and then you sign it.
I should blow your fucking brains out. You and Dimi Vertov.
He sent you, didn't he? You're lucky I'm gonna give you another chance.
Leave me alone. You tell him to leave me alone.
You understand? I'm a different person now. It 's over.
Turn the fuck over.
You count to 5OO.
If I see a fucking eyebrow twitch, you're dead!
Don't move, asshole!
Move a muscle, you'll be nothing but a bloodstain.
Ya think we weren't gonna catch up with you?
- What the hell were you thinking? - I needed to see Gary.
To apologize. I was coming back.
- Brock is okay? - Brock is unemployed.
It wasn't his fault. I had to go see Gary.
I can't sleep. I had to see Gary.
- I was coming back. - Here's his train ticket, Doc.
Round trip.
- You were really coming back? - What else am I gonna go?
You gotta give him his job back. It wasn't his fault!
- I bet you want him back. - Lf anyone figures out who you are...
if anyone knows you're alive, the deal is off and it 's back to the warden.
You understand that, don't you?
Can I have a pill, please?
Couldn't be!
Was this the guy who that in here?
They showed that commercial again.
And you missed it.
The man had a return ticket, for God's sakes!
What he did today was an act of contrition.
12 weeks ago, he had no remorse...
and now he's risking his life to apologize!
- The man is a murderer. - He was a murderer.
You put a guard in his room, it 'll influence his behaviour.
You can't do it!
If anything were happen, we're responsible.
Hart-Mercer Pharmaceuticals!
I'll give you one more chance...
then we move on to a different test subject. Period. End of discussion.
Arlo...
is there something I should know about the other test subjects?
I've told you. Any knowledge of their status...
could influence your interaction with your own subject.
Yes, but I heard a rumour from one of the post-docs.
Some of the test subjects have died of liver failure.
If it 's true, I should know.
Has your subject shown signs of liver damage?
No, he hasn't.
The most significant side effects are insomnia, dry mouth...
persistent feelings of guilt and remorse.
Nothing here about liver complications.
You don't need to concern yourself with the other subjects.
You have enough on you hands as it is.
You shouldn't spend so much time listening to post-docs.
Especially the attractive ones.
You don't like relish much, do you?
Trying to eat more vegetables.
- So what 's Cincinnati like? - They got a baseball team.
I guess you don't miss it much.
I just wanted to start from scratch.
Me too. It 's a beautiful thing, isn't it?
- What 's that? - Starting from scratch.
I hear you.
Ralph says you're doing really good. He says you caught on quick.
It 's not too much to catch on to. You want some dessert or...
They got a really good ice cream sandwich.
- Come on, I owe you! - You don't owe me anything.
I owe you.
Fairly smooth.
- What are you reading? - Introduction to Geology.
- It 's a real page-turner. - You go to school?
Community College, nights. It 's my second semester.
- Keeps me busy. - I knew you had brains.
If had brains, would I be working here?
Come on!
You ever been inside?
Inside what?
Come on.
Do you do this very often?
I don't know.
For some reason I find it to be relaxing.
- It is. - For a couple of minutes...
I feel I can think.
I guess I can see that.
Only thing is, you have to haul ass before Ralph sees you.
You get a thing?
Teresa...
what are you thinking?
Guess.
Jump!
- Did he see us? - I almost tripped over my foot.
- Haven't seen him. - He looks different now.
He doesn't have them scars.
He was in here 2 days ago. It 's on the receipt.
We get a lot of people in here every day.
You should check the neighborhood. Maybe he lives around here.
Thanks.
Hop in. I'll give you a ride to your place.
Looks like the doc's breaking the cardinal rule:
Never get attached to you lab rat.
Thanks, Doc.
Let 's go.
- Thanks for the lift. - Sure. Put on your belt.
Check those books out?
I stole them. Had to pop a couple librarians to make me getaway.
- Nice. - This is a sweet ride.
I drove one of these on the car wash.
I only drive like 1O feet but...
You got a family, Doc?
That 's none of your business.
I was just curious. I was just wondering if you had a family.
It 's inappropriate for you to ask me personal questions.
But it 's okay for you to know everything about me.
I see how it works. Just curious. What? Come on. I wanna know.
My wife and I have split up.
- And we had a son. - Is he living with her?
No, he was killed.
- Accident? Was he sick or... - Murder.
He was 8 years old.
We were driving home from the park after shooting hoops...
like we did on every Saturday when I could get away from work...
and a car cut us off.
I laid on the horn, changed lanes. He cut me off again and I lost it.
I flipped him the bird and start screaming and the next thing I know...
the guy shoots at me with a gun.
The windshield shatters. I pull over, turn...
Tommy's slumped over covered in blood.
He looked at me and said:
"It 's gonna be okay, daddy. I'm gonna be okay."
- And then he died. - I'm sorry, Doc.
If that guy had been on Anagress, maybe my son'd be alive today.
If I had been on Anagress maybe...
You can just drop me off here. I'll walk the rest of the way.
Thanks for the lift.
There you go.
- I have a date tomorrow night. - Really?
- Good for you. That 's great. - This thing around my ankle...
- It stays where it is. - Come on! What if I get lucky?
You're gonna have to figure out a way to keep your pants on.
- Come on, Doc! - Sorry, pal. I can't help you.
I'm not gonna run, I swear! I like the way things are right now.
- I'm not gonna run. - I know, I believe you but...
I got rules to follow too.
Borrow the car?
Have a good time.
- Thanks for the ride. - Sure.
Be well, Joe.
They didn't change a thing.
- Can you tell me what 's going on? - What do you mean?
I haven't had dinner with you since... I can remember...
even when we were still together...
Friday's? I thought it was in the off-limits category.
We only came here because... Tommy liked it so much.
What can I tell you? I'm jonesing for a number 3 with hickory sauce.
I'm surprised they let us back in here.
- I don't think they recognized us. - How could they forget?
The flames almost touched the ceiling.
How could they forget...
how you tried to douse the flames with your milkshake?
Who was the genius who left his menu on a smoking toaster?
It 's a stupid place to put a toaster!
And let 's face it: We both panicked.
Only Tommy stayed calm. Just unplugged it and got the manager.
That 's the first time I've heard you say his name since...
I brought the papers for the lake house.
We got a pretty good price. It will be divided fifty-fifty...
as per our very amicable divorce agreement.
Right here.
I've cashed in my stock options.
Really?
Hart-Mercer not seem like a good investment all of a sudden?
No, but I'm buying an old school building downtown.
It 's a major fizer-upper but my accountant says that real state...
is less risky than biotech these days, so...
True.
I'm gonna open up that youth center I was always talking about.
- At least, I'm gonna try anyway. - You'll do it.
Barbara, that 's great. I thing that 's really great.
You know that colleague you introduce me to?
She's very pretty.
Reminds me a bit of me when I was that age.
You were prettier. And a bit smarter.
You look nice.
- Whatever. - Whatever.
Come on.
- You know this guy? - Can't say I do, mister.
- Ugly son-of-a-bitch, ain't he? - Look closer.
He's different now. No scars.
He changed his face, but 's still him.
You do know him, don't you? He just drove out of here with that girl.
Why are you looking for him? Do he owe you money?
- Then what 'd he do? - For starters...
he shot my brother in the head.
This is really cool!
I can't believe you've never been to an amusement park before.
When I was a kid, a sandbox was a big deal.
Want a beer?
- No. - Sure?
I'm 1O months sober.
Really? Can't picture you a big drinker.
Drinking wasn't really my thing.
I dated this guy, and he was a dealer.
I ended up doing speed with him 'til it got out of control.
I was down to 95 pounds by the time I hit rehab.
Too much information at once, huh?
At least you got out.
- You got yourself a second chance. - I had to.
I see it like this...
keep one eye in the past and one eye in the future...
you end up cross-eyed.
So I'm thinking about right now. And right now...
- I'm happy. I'm having fun. - Me too.
I got an idea. Come on.
I still think we should go in.
Give him some space. He's gotta come out the same way he went in.
Lee Ray!
- You're very aggressive out there. - It 's better than crashing real cars.
That 's true.
You wanna try the merry-go-round? I'm a merry-go-round freak.
Really?
- Sure. - Doesn't make you dizzy.
I gotta go to the bathroom. I'll be right back.
- You don't mind I go on... - No. I'll be right back.
Get out of the way!
You there! Stop!
Did I miss anything?
Nothing much. It was a tight race but I won by a nose.
- What took you so long? - Long line. Ready?
So...
you want me to drop you off?
I'll walk home from you apartment. Make sure you get home safe.
- What? - Wanna make sure I get home safe?
I was gonna invite you in, anyway.
You got a nice apartment.
Welcome to my palace, darling.
The maid's quarters are downstairs. And it 's the butler's day off.
Hope you don't mind.
You probably wanted to stay at the park longer.
I'm sorry. I hope I didn't mess things up.
Don't worry about it. Can't be a kid forever.
Joe...
I've trusted a lot of people in my life.
I was wondering if... I can trust you.
There's something I should tell you though.
- Great. I've heard that before. - No, it 's not that.
I'm on this medicine... these pills...
that make you... calm or something.
What happens when you don't take them?
You wouldn't wanna know me.
Whatever it is they're doing, it 's working.
- I should probably go. - What 's wrong?
Nothing. I just wanna have something to look forward to.
Right.
A guy who didn't want to jump my bones on the first date.
I can trust you.
- I had a great time tonight. - Me too.
- Something to look forward to. - I'm gonna regret having said that.
I'll see you tomorrow?
- I thought he was gonna get lucky. - Tough break.
Just in time. He's overdue for his Anagress.
Shit! There's nowhere to park.
Drive around the block We'll find another one.
Got ya, motherfucker!
Drop the gun!
Dammit!
Shit!
What 's up with this asshole?
My God!
Shit!
Tell me you're not gonna get that.
Hello?
OK. I'll be right there.
- Let 's go. - No, you can't.
- Why? - It might be dangerous.
If you're not gonna let me go with you...
I'm not gonna stay here by myself.
- He ditched it in the trash bin. - I just can't believe that he...
Don't you see how he played you? He's a sociopath.
You should've known better. Those bastards can fool...
polygraph machines. What made you think he couldn't fool you?
I don't know.
He's in a black pickup with flame decals. Make sure he doesn't go far.
- You're authorized to terminate. - What 's that supposed to mean?
You know the protocol. If the subject commits a violent crime...
during Phase 2, there's no alternative.
He's already dead in the eyes of the law.
And that justifies us hunting him down and killing him?
Goddamn right, it does.
We'll do an autopsy and figure out what happened with the Anagress.
Go to the lab. Make the necessary adjustments.
You'll be back on track in no time.
Come on! Get up!
Right here.
You can get rid of all those scars. You still got the same evil eyes.
So, what 'd you do?
Pay off the doctor? The warden?
Where'd a low-life like you get the money to fake an execution?
- I'm sorry about Gary... - That just wraps everything up.
Right, Gary?
- Fuckhead here says he's sorry. - He's my friend.
- He's your friend, huh? - We're going to the movies.
You're going to the movies together?
Is that right? You're good friends?
Tell my brother what a good friend you are!
- I'm sorry... - Shut up!
Shut the fuck up with sorry!
I saw you snickering with that lawyer.
You didn't have an ounce of remorse.
Tell my brother what you did to him.
Gary...
your friend wants to tell you exactly what he did to you.
He gave me candy.
Tell him.
I didn't tell you the truth about someone else hurting you.
I did it.
Tell him what you did!
I shot you in the head.
I shot you.
- I'm really sorry, Gary. - Shut up!
Fucking sorry. I could've had a life if it wasn't for you.
Instead I had to take care of my fucking brother all the time!
- Lf I could trade places with him... - Shut up!
Look at me.
- Fuck you! - He's my friend!
Don't!
Go! Go!
Get off!
Get the fuck off me, Gary!
Get those monitors packed up.
- Copeland. - Doctor, I need my medicine.
- Where are you? - Did Norton make it?
You shot him in the heart. Of course he didn't make it. He's dead!
- I didn't shoot him! - Don't lie to me!
I'm not lying! Bill Caputo shot him.
He recognized me when I went to see Gary!
He just kidnapped me and tried to kill me!
- Why the hell should I believe you? - Do you think I'd kill Norton?
After all this, do you thing I'd do that?
They must've seen his car. Caputo took me in his truck.
Your guys must have seen it. Have them check it out.
You gotta believe. Just come and get me.
- Come and give me my medicine. - Where are you?
Where's the fire?
Maybe we better find out.
Shit!
- I need help. - You want the Emergency Room.
- I need Anagress. - Never heard of it.
Do you have a prescription?
Give me something to mellow me out! What do you got?
Don't hurt me, man!
Come here. Where are you going?
Teresa?
I need your help.
Are you there? I need your help. I'm in trouble. Please, let me in.
Teresa, please, come to the door.
God! Teresa?
- Let me in. I'm in trouble... - Ralph called.
He said somebody came to see him. They said you were a killer.
That your name is Lee Ray. Is that true?
- Is it true? - I was...
Please, don't do this to me. I was Lee Ray.
I'm a different person now. I'm not who I was.
I can't be who I was.
Please, they're coming after me. Don't do this to me.
- It 's the cops, isn't it? - No, they're not the cops.
Jesus! If you don't let me in, they're gonna kill me.
Teresa, please!
Open up!
- We're here for Joe Monroe. - Who?
Go!
I got here as fast as I could. What happened?
- It 's all gone to shit. - What do you mean?
I keep on asking myself...
am I arrogant or I was just stupid?
I had such hopes for Anagress...
I need my pills. Now!
- What 's going on? - Everything is gonna be fine.
It 's not gonna be fine until I get my pill. You got them?
- Get them! - Not until she leaves.
- She's not going anywhere. - I know you didn't kill Norton.
That was Bill Caputo's truck, just like you said.
And I know what kind of person you are.
And you gonna let her go 'cause she has nothing to do with this.
Barbara, go.
Do not call the police or I'll be in trouble.
Just go. It 's gonna be fine, Joe.
I want everything back the way it was.
- Please, give me my pills. - The pills are in my office.
This isn't enough. What am I supposed to do when this runs out?
- Eden Ross. - Hi,it's me.
- I need you to do something for me. - Now you need my help?
Please, this is important.
Take all the Anagress we have and bring it to my house.
- Can you do that? - Okay.
And don't tell anyone.
Was that him?
What 'd he want?
He wants me to bring the lab supply of Anagress to his house.
Well done.
It 's my job.
- She'll be here in half an hour. - Thanks.
What 's happening?
Did you hear anything?
- Where is he? - What?
Eden said you asked her to bring Anagress to your house.
I tried to warn you. Post-docs, they always put their careers first.
- Where is he? - I don't know.
He called one hour ago...
but wouldn't say where he was. Just wanted his pills.
He didn't kill Norton. Bill Caputo did.
It was Bill Caputo's truck they saw driving away.
Joe Monroe doesn't have to die.
The Anagress works.
All we have to do is get him back on the medication.
- Anagress doesn't work. - Anagress does work.
Doesn't work!
All the subjects who took Anagress are dead.
Their livers shut down after six weeks.
- He's fine. - He was on a placebo.
He was part of the control group.
He was getting nothing but sugar pills.
If he was taking the actual medicine, he'd be dead right now.
But...
that 's not possible.
You knew there was a chance he'd be in the control group.
Yes, but his biomarkers, his seratonin levels... scientifically...
Never underestimate the power of the placebo effect.
People have cured themselves from every disease known to science.
Eradicated tumors, for Chrissakes!
But eventually the placebo effect dies.
I need a drink.
Anybody want a drink?
- Hello? - Michael, is he still in the house?
No, he's outside.
He crapped all over the floor. I think he's got worms.
- I'm keeping him outside. - Does he still have a gun?
No,but the vet should check him out.
- He'll be ready when you get here. - I'm calling the police.
I got to go now.
- I'm expecting a work call. - OK. Bye.
That was Barbara.
I call her whenever the dog is sick. You know how she is.
Are you still seeing her? I always liked Barbara.
No, we just share custody of the dog.
You sure you don't want a drink? 'Cause I need one.
Maybe I'll have a drink.
Shit!
You can get yourself killed for doing this.
Nobody is gonna get killed.
Gonna get you to the airport. Put you on the next flight out.
- I don't have enough pills. - You don't need any pills.
- What are you talking about? - You don't need them.
They were nothing but sugar.
- What? - They didn't do a damn thing.
Son-of-a-bitch!
When we start a drug trial, half the subjects are picked at random...
to get the actual drug, the other half are given a phony pill: The placebo.
You were in the control group.
That 's bullshit!
No. I never lied to you and I'm not lying to you now.
- He's headed forthe lake. - We got him.
You know what to do.
You knew this the whole time?
It would've affected how I treated you.
I just found out tonight, I swear.
You knew theses things weren't real?
They were real to you, and that 's what matters.
You okay?
You gotta get outta here.
Get to the airport anyway you can. Here's some money.
Disappear. Go.
- That was you, Doc. - What?
You're the reason why I got better. It wasn't any drug.
You changed yourself.
Now hurry! Go!
Go!
You gotta go.
- What do you think of it so far? - It 's okay.
Let 's have a look outside.
Beautiful!
- Wayne, this is Michael. - How you doing, Wayne?
- Good. - You wanna meet the other guys?
Come on.
All right, Rhonda, time to play a real master.
I want you to meet Wayne! 509
