Am I interrupting anything?
Is it OK if I...
He knows you're here, doesn't he?
My friend Dr. Reid said...
that it's very unusual--
schizophrenia, that is--
in a child that's this young.
They usually think it's autism.
What you have to understand...
is there's nothing wrong with his body.
What's paralyzed is a part of his mind.
It's so damaged by the virus...
he can't even will himself to move.
You think you can change that?
Do you believe there's a part of yourself...
that you don't show anybody?
I think everybody has that side of themselves.
During a session, when I'm inside...
I get to see those things.
I feel them.
With Stargher, I felt things I never want to feel again.
He's not even Carl Stargher anymore.
He's this idealized version of himself--
a king in a very, very twisted kingdom.
The place for him to indulge every...
You know, I don't want to talk about this in here.
I could never do what you do--
devote myself to understanding a mind like that.
I don't think we'll ever be able to understand a mind like hat.
But you try. That's your job.
I guess so.
You don't like what you do?
I like it better than my old job.
Used to be an attorney. I was a prosecutor.
What happened?
I had a case, um...
where this little girl was molested.
And because of this one tiny piece of evidence...
that was tainted, he walked.
Uh, Charles Gish walked away.
Nothing I could do about it.
The night after he was released...
Margaret's parents came home--
that was the little girl's name--
Margaret Sims.
And they found Charles Gish sitting in their living room.
He was watching television...
and Margaret was sitting next to him...
and he had cut her open right down the middle.
The parents found Margaret's heart in the freezer.
Charles figured they'd probably want to keep it.
After that, I left the D.A...
and joined the FBI.
Figured I'd just try to catch 'then.
Till now.
You know, I started to tell you...
that Stargher really isn't Stargher anymore.
Well, that's true, and it's not.
The dominant side is still this horrible thing...
but there's a positive side that--
Positive side?
Well, the way he sees himself as a child.
But isn't that him?
The boy Stargher made contact. He's curious about me.
If I could reach the boy...
then maybe he'd tell me about Julia.
Whatever happened to Charles Gish?
Old Charlie beat the murder rap...
because he was insane when he killed Margaret.
His attorney milked thejury for all they were worth.
Said that a life of sexual abuse drove him to do these things...
and, you know, whatever the fuck.
All that same old bullshit.
Why is that bullshit?
I believe a child can experience...
a hundred times worse the abuse than what Gish went through...
and still grow up to be...
somebody that would never, ever, ever hurt another living being.
And you're sure of that?
Yes, I am.
I'm sure of that.
Hey, where the hell you been?
I've been right here.
Well, next time tell me, OK?
I didn't want to disturb you. You looked so cute, you know?
You're all sleeping when you get that look on you.
Your colleagues want to know what to do with Stargher.
Tell them to prep him. I'll be right there.
Thank you, Catherine.
Stargher have any pets? You know, cats, dogs...
Yeah, you're a good boy, aren't you, Valentine?
That's supposed to help?
On a subconscious level, yes.
Anything that was special to Stargher, gave him pleasure...
should make him more accessible...
more peaceful.
Peaceful?
Nice little pup.
-Mr. Novak. -Doctor.
Thank you.
Round two.
Hey, not funny.
Come on, stop playing around.
I'm not. It's a power problem.
We're locked out, Catherine.
I--I need you to check the circuit breaker.
I want you to check circuits six through twelve.
Come on.
Get up.
Six through twelve.
I'm already in.
What did she say?
Come here, boy.
Can you take me to Carl?
Need some help?
I've got a present for you.
If you need me...
or if you feel like I'm around but you can't find me...
just...
Shine it like this.
Go ahead, take it.
You like it?
-Carl? -What's the matter?
What?
What's wrong?
What happened over here?
Just broke all by itself.
-Did you break that plate? -I broke the plate.
Well, hey, let's ...
Let's break 'then all, how about that?
You little fucking liar!
I should've drowned you like the runt of the litter.
You don't lie in my house.
This is my house!
-He's just a boy. -Shut up!
You're not his mother!
She's not your mother.
She left us, Carl. Remember that.
See that?
Wait. Jesus Christ!
What the fuck is this? Get back--Get over here!
Playing with dolls? You little faggot!
God!
What are you, some kind of a woman?
-Get up! -But, dad--
Damn it. You want something to cry about?
I'll give you something to cry about, woman!
Mama's boy!
I didn't raise no faggot!
Stop your crying.
You want to iron like a woman?
-Let me show you how to iron. -No!
Help me.
See?
She was my first.
I made such a mess.
Now what I have to do...
Why are you here?
Don't lie.
-I came to help you. -You're lying.
Bitch.
Whore.
Cunt!
You sound like your father.
He was nothing.
He is nothing.
Who told you to say that?
Do you remember the first time he talked to you?
Were you in water? Maybe you went swimming.
It was my baptism.
My father, he...
he pushed me under.
I think I had some kind of seizure.
I think I was drowning...
and everybody just looked at me.
Nobody helped me. Nobody.
Except him.
My father...
he took me home that night...
and he broke three of my ribs...
and fractured my jaw.
I was six years old.
What your father did to you is evil.
What he did to you was wrong.
He treated you like a thing.
He was more...
powerful than me.
No. No one should be treated like that.
Is that right?
In what world do you live in?
Carl, where is Julia Hickson?
No names.
Where is she?
I know you, Carl. You want to tell me.
Oh, you know me?
Oh, you know who I am?
Where is she?
Where's Julia?
That can't be right.
Danger pulse.
-No change. -Christ.
What about emergency cessation?
Gradually terminate the feed, disable the receptors--
It could lead to massive shock...
and, Henry, could you please shut that thing off?
What's going on?
That hypothetical situation I told you about?
-It's happening. -Can't you stop it?
It's not that simple.
Well, you stopped it before--
Yes, that was different. That was Edward.
With Stargher, his mind is unfamiliar territory...
and she's lost. She thinks this is real.
Well, is there anything that we can do?
Whatever we do runs the risk of making things worse for her.
Worse. That's great.
So she's lost somewhere?
-No. No. -No, what?
I need you here.
Fucking stop! Stop!
Let me the fuck out!
Let me out!
Get me out, you sick fuck!
Fuck you!
Let me out.
Do something.
Do something to end this.
I got bugs crawling all over my body.
It gets worse.
You're completely unprepared for this.
Ah, Dr. Kent, we've been over all this.
Yes, but I've been through the process.
She went through the process, too, and it didn't matter.
You don't know him.
Be lucky.
Come on, guys.
Ready?
Peter, the first few minutes...
will be very disorienting.
Remember to stay calm and focused.
Instincts play a very important part here,
All right.
Peter, you've read her file.
Hit herewith something personal.
And remember, Peter...
it's not real.
Have you seen him? My boy?
My little one? His father took him from me.
I spit it out my hole. Big deal. don't mean anything.
My child's an abomination. He has no soul.
Is that you?
You all right?
Hold me.
This isn't real.
Did daddy do a bad thing?
Don't be scared.
This isn't real.
Naughty worm.
I'll kill you!
Fuck you, mother fucker!
Catherine, wake the fuck up, now!
Mairzy doats and dozy doats
And liddle lamzy divey
A kiddley divey, too
Wouldn't you?
When you were in college...
Your baby brother had a car accident!
He was in a coma for six months before he died!
And I'm sorry for saying that!
But you gotta wake up!
God!
It's not real.
This is not real!
Not real!
It's OK.
What the fuck happened?
Where are we?
Oh, my God.
Is this where he keeps them?
No, it's OK.
Don't be scared.
I will never hurt you.
I'm your friend.
And Peter--he's a friend, too.
Do you know where this place is?
Like on a map?
I am so proud of you.
Even if Peter doesn't find Julia...
I promise I will come back and help you.
-What are you doing? -Let's go.
It's over. I know how to find Julia.
I just can't leave him here!
God damn it, Catherine, let's go!
-Carl! -I know how to find her.
-Let's go! -I'll come back for you, Carl!
I promise that I'll come back!
Catherine, we gotta go now!
-That means he's back. -How's Catherine?
Take it easy, Peter.
Is she OK?
Take it easy, Peter. Just breathe.
-Is she OK? -Yeah, I think she is.
Can you get me out of this fucking suit?
Yeah, Cole here.
-Cole, it's Novak. -Yeah, what's up?
I want you to go down to the basement...
at Stargher's workplace and call me when you get down there.
They haven't finished building the grid yet.
Fuck the grid! Call me when you get down there.
-You OK, Pete? -I'm fine.
You want to tell me what happened in there?
You in pain?
-What happened, Peter? -I saw her.
-Who did you see? -I know where to find her.
-Who? -Julia. I saw her.
OK. Why don't you come and let Dr. Kent have a look at you?
-Cole? -Yeah, this is Cole.
Now, what am I doing down here?
That machine that he uses-- there's a hoist.
I want you to look for a plaque...
or a metal plate with some sort of logo on it.
Yeah, I got it.
It's Carver industrial equipment...
in Bakersfield, California.
I want you to find out every goddamn thing...
that you can about that machine--
who used it, who sold it, who bought it.
Just find out everything you can.
I'll call you from the chopper in about twenty minutes.
All right, let me have a look. Good.
The FBI has left the building.
What? I haven't had a chance to clear Novak!
What did you expect me to do?
There's no way I could stop them.
Go.
-I'm OK. -Are you sure?
Let me have a look.
-All right. -OK.
Peter, just talk.
What if your mind is playing tricks on you?
They shot you full of drugs, Peter.
Who knows if what you saw is real?
Catherine, open this door.
-I promise... -What are you doing?
I'm gonna help you.
Stop. Do not jeopardize your career.
Stop! It's dangerous. What are you doing?
-Miriam. -What's she doing?
-You know what she's doing. -For Christ's sake.
Jesus!
-She changed the codes. -You can't get in without them?
-She reversed the feeds. -What does that mean?
The process is intended for her to go into his mind.
But instead, she's bringing him into hers.
Stop! No more!
I promised I'd come back and help you.
See? I always keep my promises.
Can I stay here...
with you?
Oh...no, honey, I'm sorry. It doesn't work that way.
There's nothing I can do about that.
Yes, there is.
When I was a little boy...
I found this bird.
He was injured and...
had a broken leg or something.
Well, my father found out that I had it.
And I knew that he would do something horrible to it.
It was just a matter of time.
So I took it to the sink, and I--I held it under.
It was better for the bird.
I saved him.
I can't do that, Carl.
I won't .
It doesn't matter.
It found me.
It always finds me.
Agent Novak? Go ahead.
-Cole? -Novak, listen to this.
The hoist was sold to a guy named Bainbridge...
who tried to build a machine works out near Delano.
Bainbridge ends up in bankruptcy court...
and the state winds up with the land.
And guess who they hire to seal the place up.
Aw, you're fuckin kiddin me.
No. I'm not the kidding type.
Carl Rudolph Stargher.
-Where's the land? -Exit 10, off highway 99.
-We're on our way now. -Got it. I know where that is.
Help! Help me!
This is the area.
My world...
my rules.
Help!
Do it.
It's not real.
Me got boy.
Boy me got.
You cannot kill me.
It's OK.
Save me.
You can stay here with me.
Here!
It's OK. It's OK.
It's OK.You've got to back away.
Scoot back. Back away!
Back up from here. Back--
it's OK.
Are you OK?
You OK?
You're OK.
Agent Ramsey?
Yeah, Ramsey.
She's here.
OK, let her through.
Somebody outside for you.
What is she doing here?
Said he wanted to see his home.
It's pretty strange.
She's keeping his dog, Peter.
I'd say pretty fucking strange is par for the course.
I almost didn't recognize you.
How long do you get to be a civilian?
A couple weeks...
till after the inquiry and see what happens.
Ramsey told me you were thinking of...
What do you call that thing?
-Reversal? -Reversal.
With that kid you were working with?
-Yeah. Edward. -Edward.
Are you sure you want to do that?
Absolutely.
You're not worried about what might happen?
I would never do anything to hurt Edward.
It wasn't him I was worried about.
What about you? How are you?
I'm not sure. I...
I remember pieces of everything.
According to the FBI...
you guys put me on some drug-fueled mind-bender first...
then triggered a memory I already had...
and officially we found Julia Hickson...
through good old-fashioned detective work.
I guess this is hello and good-bye, then.
I guess so.
Thanks for everything, Catherine.
-Be safe. -All right.
