Women.
What do you think I should do?
You could still give Becker an itch.
You might get killed when he goes to scratch it...
...but seems to me, you're saying that's about to happen anyway...
Oh, man.
Please continue, Mr. Mackenzie.
Okay.
Well, I've been approached by the Federal Trade Organization.
And what have they approached you about, Mr. Mackenzie?
And this is nuts, but...
...they have asked me to head up...
...the Organization for the Organized.
- The Organization for the Organized? - Yeah, you've heard of them?
No, Mr. Mackenzie, I have not.
That's because there is no such organization, you idiot.
That is categorically not true.
That is blatantly and manifestly not true.
They have asked me to lead them.
And if you'd heard of them, then they wouldn't be hush-hush, would they?
What do the rest of you think?
Well...
...I know they exist. - And how is that?
When I was in the Gulf, the Organization...
...was recruiting the Organized.
- Is that a fact, Mr. Starks? - It is a fact.
Because if it's not, it doesn't help Mr. Mackenzie.
It is a fact. Bona fide and classified.
I knew it. I knew it.
You know, those little fuckers are everywhere.
They only recruit the best, Mackenzie.
- Calm down, Mr. Starks. - Stay calm, see, stay calm.
Always ordering us to stay calm, be calm.
Be calm. Be calm. They order you to order me to be calm.
How are we supposed to be calm? Look at this place.
So, people, wake up, okay? Orders come from the top only.
Don't let them order you around. Long live the Organization.
Long live the Organization for the Organized.
- Sit down, Mr. Starks. - No, no, no, you've gotta listen...
Long live the Organization for the Organized.
Join the Organization. The Organization needs you.
- Fight the good fight. - You listen to him.
- You don't listen to me? - Sit down.
You gotta listen to him.
- Long live the Organization. - Sit down.
Join the Organization.
You gotta listen to him.
Oh, Starks...
...you are real stubborn.
But there's ways of fixing that.
The less you freak, the less you'll trip out.
Stay calm.
Criminally insane.
Gentlemen, I'm gonna need you to step out of the car...
...with your hands in the air, please. - What seems to be the problem, officer?
Problem is you're moving too slow. Step out of the car with your hands in the air.
Can I open the door here?
Hey, soldier boy, you awake?
Didn't think so.
Yeah.
It's okay. You're okay.
Hey, Jack, grab the ball.
Show Mom, honey.
Will you give me one sec?
You got nerve showing up like this.
You mind?
Okay, here goes.
Jack Starks died from a wound to the head, January 1st, 1993.
How? I mean, how do I die?
It didn't say.
Does that mean you believe me?
I don't know what I believe.
- What else you find out? - Whole bunch of stuff.
There was a doctor. Becker.
He was using some kind of behavior modification on his patients...
...that was banned in the '70s.
And there was another doctor too, a Dr. Lorenson.
And something about a kid she was treating. Babak.
- Don't know who that is. - I don't know...
...but the whole thing was a major scandal.
Becker claimed he was trying to create a womb-like environment for his patients.
Fucking womb.
It wasn't a fucking womb.
Look, I have to find out how I die.
Well, Alpine Grove still exists.
We could go see if there's anyone around who might know what really happened.
We could.
Thanks for doing this.
Well, I must be the crazy one, right?
I'm sorry I can't tell you more about your uncle's death.
They used the hospital medical examiner...
- "Blunt trauma" doesn't tell me anything. - I'm sorry, that's all it says.
I mean, weren't there doctors? What about Dr. Becker or Dr. Lorenson...?
Dr. Lorenson is still here at the hospital. She was here the same time as your uncle.
I'm sure she could be of more help to you.
- And what about Becker and Hopkins? - Dr. Hopkins died.
And I'm not familiar with a Dr. Becker.
Well, can you see if there'd be any kind of forwarding address for Dr. Becker?
Is there some particular reason for these questions?
He's the only family I remember.
What does this guy keep smiling about?
Hi. Beth Lorenson.
- How do you do? - Nice to meet you.
- Hi. Beth Lorenson. - Jackie Price.
Sit down, sit down.
I'm sorry. You look exactly like him.
Did you know him well?
Your uncle was my most memorable patient.
- Why is that? - In the end...
...he made me change my mind about a lot of things.
- He actually helped me with a case of mine. - Really? What case?
- I was working with a little boy. - Babak Yazdi?
- Yes. - Who was he?
A friend's son. How do you know about him?
We saw it when we were looking up information about his uncle.
How did he help?
Well, it's complicated, but in the end he let me know how...
...I could get through to him. - How?
It's complicated.
And it was a really long time ago.
Let me ask you something. Do you know how my uncle died?
Yeah, I think it was from...
...a head trauma.
Yes, but how? How did he get it?
I don't know.
You don't?
Think Dr. Becker might have a better idea?
Yes, Dr. Becker would know more.
- I don't believe a word she just said. - Me neither.
Come on. There's one last thing.
- To remind you of the staff softball game at 4 p. m., so don't be late.
Jack, what is this?
This is the room.
They used to hang it over there.
I'm actually in this drawer right now.
You know what? Maybe this wasn't such a good idea.
You folks ain't supposed to be down here.
We were just leaving.
Do I know you from somewhere?
I don't know, do you?
I don't know, you probably know my uncle, Jack Starks?
Goddamn, that's right.
- You're his spitting image. - Yeah, I know.
- You could be his ghost. - Could be.
- You remember him? - Oh, yeah, sure.
He was a great guy.
You wouldn't happen to know how he died, now, would you?
I just remember them finding his body.
Is that all you remember, Damon?
How do you know my name?
- I know all about you, Damon. - Oh, yeah?
Oh, yeah.
- I know you're a piece of shit. - I don't like you getting in my face...
- Was it you? - Don't know what you're talking about.
- He was hit in the head. Sounds like you. - I never touched him, man, I swear.
What's going on?
- See you, pal. - This is a restricted area.
Damon. Damon, Damon, they're gone.
It's time for your medication.
I'll see if I can track Becker down.
How long do we have?
I don't know.
I don't think we have that much time. Come on.
Well...
...then you get yourself to me tomorrow.
You don't...
...and I'll take it personally.
Oh, yeah?
Do you want a drink?
I'm running out of time.
I don't care. You have to come back.
I didn't ask for you, but now...
...you just have to come back.
It's not like that. I don't have control over it.
Well...
...get control.
Come back to me, Jack.
I can't help you unless you let me.
- That thing is my only chance in this place. - What thing?
You don't understand.
Well, try and help me understand.
I've...
I've seen a time that's not this time.
And I'm only able to see it when I'm in there.
What time is that?
2007.
What year do you think it is now?
- I'm not delusional. I know it's 1992. - Okay.
So tell me about 2007. What does it look like?
- Doesn't look that different. - The future doesn't look different?
No.
Not to people like me.
You think you're traveling in time?
- Is that it? - Listen.
- Not everyone in this place is crazy. - Like who?
Like Mackenzie, maybe?
Did he tell you he tried to kill his wife?
Mackenzie locked himself up in his house for two months...
...and nearly starved himself before he was brought here.
All because his wife left him for another man.
I don't care. Look, I don't have time for this. I gotta get out of here.
These are all facets of your delusions.
Oh, yeah?
What about Babak? Is that a facet?
How do you know about him?
You told me.
I saw you.
You thought I knew something about him, so you told me.
How do you know about him, Jack?
Because you told me. You told me.
I know somewhere inside of you...
...you have to believe that what I'm saying is true.
You have to.
I don't know how you know about Babak...
...but these ideas are part of your delusions.
No.
Hey.
I brought you some smokes.
Lorenson said that your wife...
...left you for another man, so you lost it.
How's that for a thank-you?
Well?
I didn't want to see it. You know?
I'm in here because...
...they say I have a nervous condition.
Well, well, here's my question:
Who wouldn't be nervous if they really, really looked at their lives?
I mean, whose life is that good?
Rise and shine, Harold.
Jamile? Have you told anybody about my sessions with Babak?
- Of course not. - Has anyone been asking about him?
No. I would have told you.
Well, hello there. How you doing today?
You ready to work?
Okay.
Jackie.
Hey.
- Okay, this is really freaking me out. - Tell me about it.
- Oh, God. You want this? - I want this.
- Hey. - Hey.
God, I should get the heat going.
- Oh, I found out about the little boy. - Yeah?
Babak? Lorenson used a mild form of electroshock therapy...
...which disrupted his seizures.
She didn't even know that's what he was having before.
That's what you have to tell her about.
I think Becker's house is around here somewhere. I marked it on the map.
- I think this is it. - You sure?
Yeah. I called the number yesterday to make sure.
All right, let's go.
Hi there.
You looking for Dr. Becker?
There he is.
How's that work, huh? God doesn't remember?
Is that it?
- Can I help you? - I don't know, can you?
- Do I know you? - I think you do.
- You're his son? - Nope.
Not his son.
What's the matter, doc?
You look like you've seen a ghost.
But how can you be?
- He died years ago in the hospital. - Yeah, you killed him. Didn't you?
No, I didn't kill him. The treatment might've pushed him to kill himself...
No, I didn't kill myself. I died from a blow to the head.
How did that happen?
All I can remember from the last time we put him in there...
...he... You came out and said their names to me.
What names?
People I tried to help.
Who were they?
Nathan Piechowski...
...Jackson MacGregor...
...Ted Casey.
I didn't ask for them, any of you.
- You were criminals sent to me. - We were patients.
We were patients.
You were criminals...
Hold on a second. So you said I came out of that thing, and I told you those names?
Well, who do you think told me about them?
You did.
I'm in that drawer right now.
I don't understand.
You're haunting yourself, old man.
- I didn't put you in Alpine Grove. - No.
You pumped me full of drugs...
...and you stuffed me in a morgue drawer.
With every intention of helping you.
And that justifies it?
We're all dead, Jack.
What is it?
- I have to sit down. - Is everything okay?
- I have to sit down. - Jack, what is it? Jack?
He's taking me out of there.
- He said it was the last time. - What?
- Jackie, he said it was the last time. Go. - Oh, my God.
- What was your address? - What?
When you were a kid, when we met...
...what was your address?
2140 Waldemere Way.
2140... 2140...
- Jackie. - Jack. Jack, stay with me.
It's the last time. The last time.
Jack.
I saw you.
I know what you did to your patients.
Years from now, I saw you.
You told me about Piechowski...
...and Jackson MacGregor...
...and Ted Casey. You told me.
All those guys stay with you.
All of us. We all stay with you.
We haunt you, haunt you.
All of us.
We haunt you.
Could I...? Could I have some paper?
Paper and a pen. Need to write something.
Listen, your patient, Babak...
...is having seizures.
That's why he hasn't learned to speak properly.
Who told you this?
Just telling you something you already know. You just haven't figured it out yet.
He's not slow, he's having seizures.
Electro...
Electroconvulsion therapy.
You used it on him.
That's how you reset him.
No one would ever use ECT on a child.
I don't know that he is having seizures. If he is, that could send him into status.
It's a permanent state of seizure.
No, no.
Babak is my friend's son. I would never risk that.
You will.
Can you just grab the end of that for me?
I've... I've given him a sedative.
Okay.
I'm only gonna do it once.
The settings are very, very low.
- Are you gonna stay in the room? - Yeah.
Okay, great. If you could just apply some pressure.
Good.
I'm just gonna press this button.
I'm just gonna set it a little bit lower.
Okay, now I'm at the lowest possible.
Okay.
Here we go.
Okay. We're done, that's it.
We're done. Okay, it's over.
All right. He's all right. He's all right.
Okay. Okay.
Babak?
Babak...
...how are you doing?
Can you say hi, Babak?
Hi, Babak.
You're okay, you're okay.
What do you need me to do?
I need to take this to someone.
This is a secure unit. There's no way I can do that.
You have to. Please.
- How long do you need? - Just a couple hours.
I'm gonna die tonight.
It's been decided.
You want me to come in with you?
I'll be okay.
Hey.
I remember you.
I remember you too.
- Come in, it's cold out there. - Yeah.
God. How've you been, Jackie?
- Okay. - Yeah? How's your mom?
Well, okay.
Do you think I could talk to her?
Hey, Mom. Mom?
- Hey, Jean. - Hey.
Do I know you?
Mom, this is the guy that fixed the car.
The guy you yelled at.
Okay.
There something you need?
It's something you need.
Jackie, go play in the snow.
- Why? - Just do it.
Okay.
I don't know how to make this not sound crazy.
I know it's not gonna make a lot of sense right now...
...but...
Look. Everything that I want to tell you is in this letter.
And it's really...
It's very important that you believe it, because...
Because it just would be a shame if you didn't, you know?
Okay, I'll read it.
That it?
Yeah, that's it.
Hey.
Petal...
...it's nice.
Don't stop calling her that.
I think she likes it.
Hey.
Hey, wait.
You be good, all right, Jackie?
- Okay. - Okay.
Jack? Jack?
You okay?
Stay with me.
Put me in the jacket.
What do you mean?
You have to put me in the jacket, it's the only way. I gotta get in there.
Jack? Jack, come on.
I need you to help me get you inside.
Okay.
You ready?
- All right, you got it? - I got it.
- That was it. - Justin!
Put me in the jacket.
- What happened? - He slipped. He slipped on the ice.
- Let's get him up. Watch his head. - The jacket.
What are you talking about?
He said we have to get him into the jacket.
I know the procedure, but we can't do this to him.
Do whatever you did with Becker.
I was 27 years old the first time I died.
I remember there was white everywhere.
There was war, and I felt alive. But, really, I was dead.
Sometimes I think we live through things...
...only to be able to say that it happened.
That it wasn't to someone else, it was to me.
Sometimes we live to beat the odds.
I'm not crazy...
...even though they thought I was.
I live in the same world as everyone else.
I just saw more of it, as I'm sure you have.
They'll find my body tomorrow.
You can check it out if you don't believe me.
I've seen life after my death...
...and I'm telling you this because it's the only way...
...to help you and your daughter have a better life of your own.
Jean...
...you're gonna pass out one day smoking a cigarette...
...and burn to death.
Your daughter grows up living the same sad life you're living right now.
And she misses you so much.
Sometimes life can only really begin with the knowledge of death.
That it can all end, even when you least want it to.
The important thing in life is to believe...
...that while you're alive, it's never too late.
I promise you, Jean, no matter how bad things look...
...they look better awake than they do asleep.
When you die, there's only one thing you want to happen.
You wanna come back.
Mommy, Daddy, is it time to get up?
He can't find four of us here. Come on, go in the kitchen.
Oh, boy.
- Hey, you okay? - I'm fine.
You have a nasty cut there.
Yeah, yeah.
I slipped, but I'm alive.
I'm on my way to the hospital. Could I give you a ride?
Yeah, I'd love that.
Okay. Get in.
All right. Thanks.
I'm sorry, one sec.
Hey.
That's sweet. Have a good time, okay?
Yeah, yeah. Listen, Mom, now's not actually a great time to talk.
I'm on my way to work. Yeah, I'll call you later.
All right. Happy New Year.
- Sorry about that. - That's all right.
No problem there.
How you doing?
Better now.
How much time do we have?
