Yes, it does
What about giving my big strong Walter a big hug and a kiss?
Right before he gets on the bus in front of his friends.

A wish unfulfilled

To determine the path of carbon chemistry
Mars offers the first opportunity
They gain another perspective in the cosmic history of planetary chemistry
Are there any questions?
Yes, in the back here, Rhonda

You know I'm sorry, I have no comment in that right
Thank you for the information, Rhonda
Any other questions?
If we found water beneath the surface
And the orbiter photos that we took planitia?
They will once rivers on the surface of the planet

Here the hysteric Joe asked the hilarious question:
What's happening?
Next Saturday night on ABC
Hello, may I help you?
Mrs. Lewis
Yes?
Hello
My name is Arlington Steward
I assume you received the box that I left on your doorstep
Yes
And you've found the button unit inside the box
Is that what you called
button unit?
Yes, we do
Please don't let my appearance frighten you
I assure you I'm not a monster
I'm just the man with the job to do
May I come in?
Sure
Can I offer you anything?
Oh no, thank you
I never have much enough time
Shall we sit down?
So
Are you trying to sell me something?
Yes, simple way
I do have an offer to make
What're you offering?
A financial opportunity
Let me explain
In this envelope, there is a key
I'll show you
This key opens the glass dome to the button
Now, if you push the button
2 things will happen
First
Someone, somewhere in the world
Whom you don't know
Will die
Second
You will receive the payment of 1 million dollars
Tax free
The payment
Will be delivered to you by me
In cash
Just as you see, here
Oh Mrs. Lewis please come with me, to present to you
This crisp 100 dollar bill, as a gift
In exchange for your kindness and allowing me into your home
You're gonna give me this 100 dollar bill
Even if I say no?
That is correct
Are you for real?
Oh I assure you Mrs. Lewis
This offer is quite real
Who do you work for?
Guarantee you payment comes with 3 restrictions I'm afraid
1
I'm not permitted
To disclose any information the identity of my employers
2
You are not permitted to discuss the details of this to anyone
except your husband of course
3
You have 24 hours
You have until 5 o'clock tomorrow to make your decision
At which point
I shall return and retrieve the button unit
It will be re-programmed
And the offer will be made
to someone else
It's been a pleasure meeting you Mrs. Lewis
It's a new prosthesis for a foot
You got it
What?
We're using the new (GD slice) polymer, for the pilot chairs for the show
That's well
Hey, what happened to her foot?
When she was 17
Her brother dropped a barbell on her foot
She didn't want her toes broken so she go to the hospital
Doctor said to her that she has to turn the X-rays machine on
Then he checked on other patient on the hall
And he forgets all about Norma
Leaves that X-ray machine running
Oh Jesus, that's, that's not good
No
The tissue and the former toes's completely destroyed by the radiation
They have amputate four of her toes?
Yup
It'll need to go and get a box of skin
from a inner thigh to cover the former foot
But it's about 1958
So they didn't have a skin graft technique surgery now
She had to sit like this
The sitting position, full body cast
For a month, waiting for the deal
Jesus, I hope she sued this idiot
Oh yeah, her family sued him and won
How's settlement?
10 thousand dollars
God
If the sucker works she will still jog again
I hope so
That's a nice thing you're doing for Norma
Thank you, Sir
One good turn deserves another
It's just arrived for you, sort of mail from
Astronaut pool
It's a joke
But how's we can,,nobody opened it
It says I was rejected
What?
Arthur Lewis
His astronaut application was rejected
Can you tell me why?
OK
Arthur, they say you fail the psychological exam
You gotta be kidding me
That makes no sense
I aced
Every test
I I I I
I was counting on this
Yeah?
What am I suppose to do rest of my life?
There are many great opportunities, Arthur
Now we just got a grant of the (NASA)
that's for a new planetary camera system
You're perfect for it
Cause the manager of apposition doesn't exist
We always have Mars
Hello Sonny
When you and me going to get it
When Berry go water gets together with Jane Fonda
Before I can ask him any more question
He got in his car and drove away
What're you doing? Be careful
Oh come on, are you even think this thing is real?
You got his licence plate?
No
That's a car Norma, always get its licence plate
I was a little overwhelmed
OK, so somewhere in the world, someone you don't know
Will die
Sshh
Yes, that was his exact words
Did he say how they would die?
No
Then he offers you brief case for cash
Yes he said it's a million dollars.
What he looked like?
You don't wanna know
What you mean?
He must be a burnt victim
Because half of his face was gone
-Really? -Yes, gone
Are you messing with me?
-No -Yes you are
No I'm not
We gonna late fore the play
I'll get up downstairs
Alright
I would like to buy St Charles place
OK, St Charles place
Hi Mrs. Lewis
Hi Dana
Did Mr. Steward showed up?
Yeah, he's stopped by
So what does it do?
What happen if you push the button?
Nothing special
Did he give you the key to the dome
I bet it's something cool
You sure you asked a lot of questions
And now you're avoiding them
Hey big mouth, that's enough, alright?
In bed by 10 o'clock
Yes Sir
Thanks Dana
Good night
That's yours
Bart
He was very charming
I always believe if he'd give(s) that entire brief case for money
Forever and ever and ever
Well well
Let's get on with it
So what do you thinking?
Alright
Look, there's absolutely no outside spreading this deal, OK?
So he's a con
The bill is counterfeit
You don't just give someone 100 bill (for nothing),it's just crazy
Maybe he is crazy
I mean maybe he's, mentally ill
And he's just using the (box to get) some sort of excuse to murder someone
And he'll blame us for it
Should we call the police? What you think?
If you tell anyone
The deal is off
No money
He said that?
Yes, we can't tell anyone
Let's go home
Alright, I'll get our coats
Someone got a lot of time designing this
Anodized aluminum, hand blown glass
This is expensive
Hello
What're you doing?
I wanna take a look inside
They are silly
Very good
Nothing
No transmitter no radio
If we push the button right now, there's no way he'll even know
OK, just, you know what, put it back together
I don't want you breaking it
What you care?
Because, either way
He's gonna come back to retrieve it He says he takes the box, he re-program it
And he makes the offer to someone else
I don't know who's gonna re-program it, it's a piece of wood
People started pollution, people can
So you gonna push it or not?
it's not my decision to make
It's ours, I will never push it without you knowing
Don't forget to turn out the tree lights
No, I like to let them on
It's a fire hazard
It will keep the Christmas spirit alive while we sleep
We could die
Everybody dies Norma
Fine
Leave them on
It's strange, you only make house calls when you out of town
what're you thinking?
I'm thinking
we're never gonna see that much money
And why you say that?
Be realistic, Arthur
We work for the government
God knows we both spend too much money
Sure we'll make it easier to live the life we want
Honey
Why do we need a million dollars to be happy?
We're atoned
But imagine what we could accomplish
We could provide security for our entire family
You know I don't need that work in NASA forever
I can get another job
Are we ever gonna leave Richmond?
Gonna have to postpone my foot surgery
Now we are not doing that, you need that surgery
Yeah, I know, but
We can't afford it
Well then, push the button see what happens
I'm scared
Norma, why are you scared?
You didn't see his face
I'm calling the police
You can't
Right, because then the deal is off
Norma, how the hell he gonna know we even call anyone?
Does he has the house bugged?
It's the gift to each bridesmaids at the wedding
They will make a big joke of it tonight
Dr. Als gonna get up and he's gonna ask who push the button and who didn't
And everyone have a laugh at the con artist he has hired
Shocked at our door step
It was something great before and the she wondered into the next ...
Where is she?
I run out to the first
They put her in the back of a van and drove off
OK
Look, lock all the doors
She just finished for you
I'm on my way home
I ran a test on it at work
This hundred bill dollar is real
So lets assume its all real
We push the button
We get a million dollars
And we could be responsible for the death of another human being
Is that something we can know it?
Or someone's baby
What if it's a murder on death row?
What if are our neighbor across the street?
Do you know them?
Doug and Donna
What is do really know someone, Norma
Do you know me?
Better than you know yourself
Do you know Walter?
Even better than know I you
So what we wanna do Norma?
It's just the box

In my life
I thought what it will be like
To have all that pain
magnified and projected onto my face
If I refuse?
Eternal damnation
You have chosen gateway number 2
Translated by me
I saw that pain on your face

You colleague Arlington Steward
was struck by lightning outstanding here at this platform
Yes, and we haven't heard from him since then
He's
Something else now
What you mean?
Arlington Steward died shortly after being admitted
to the burnt unit of Riverside Hospital
Several hours, after his body was taken to the morgue
and locked in a freezer storage cabinet
A nurse heard a voice coming behind the metal door
It was a man laughing
Mr. Steward become back from the dead and was laughing hysterically
He was then transferred to a high security military hospital
Soon after we realized he was
demonstrating some extraordinary capability
What you mean by capability?
His body healed rate 10 times faster than normal
Cellular degeneration essentially halted

You can't drink with somebody now, alright?
Come on
Sir
If you don't mind my I asking you?
Why a box?
Your home is a box
You car is a box on wheels
You drive to work in it
You drive home in it
You're sitting your home staring into a box
It erodes your soul while the box
that is your body inevitably withers and dies
Whereupon and just placed in the ultimate box
to slowly decompose
It's quite depressing
If you think of it that way?
Don't think it that way
Think of this is a temporary Sylvian?
What happens
Once you completed the test?
I submit the data to my employers
And then your fate rests in their hands
I can not say they are not without a bizarre sense of humor
Look at me
I wouldn't know sir, former is that you speak
Your
Employers remained mystery to us all
I like mystery
Don't you?
How do we pass the test
Isn't it obvious?
Simply don't press the button
If enough of you don't, the test will conclude
But there will be more test to come
Walk down quickly into the light
Time to advance your 80 circles death
You walk in the light you gonna feel your body submerged in a liquid
Try to hold your breath
If you feel drown in sensation
You will pass
Where're you sending them?
To prepare the next test in Massachusetts
You spoke earlier
About altruism coefficient
If human beings are unable or unwilling
to sacrifice individual desires
The greater good of your species will have no chance for survival
And my employers will be compelled
to expedite your existential
Clear?
Yes sir
When Joanna Loved Me
I was gone, Norma
I was gone, familiar in hell
What did you see?
What was there in the light?
Words can't describe it
It's a place
Neither here nor there
It is somewhere in between
It's a warm embrace
A place where
the sidewalk ends
And despair us not of the human heart
Dad
What's going on?
I maybe sick Walter
You can still save yourself
It's too late for me, but you can still save yourself
Jeffrey Carnes?
Well, I get lots of questions for you
You wanna survive this thing? You come with me
Right now
Why don't you put the gun down, for someone sees you
Get in the truck
Alright
Dad?
Walter
Hey
Walter
Walter, Walter
Those are CIA classified documents
Test subject free will, test subject can not be treated like employees
Frontal lobe haemorrhage
That's its weakness
Hey you still in figure out
how they get inside their heads without the nose thing
The nose bleeds -And you see lots of them?
Yeah
And so theres limit to what it can do, its fallible?
Living inside a 70 years old man?
And thats why it embedded itself at Langley
It's got everything it needs
Military CIA FBI
NASA
So we can be killed?
Yes
Where we are going?
Coz it's kidnap your son just like it took my daughter
What?
But I know where they has been hidden
There's a motel up by 95, it's
Steward's employees took your son there
It's a transport harbored site
A swimming pool they use it as gate way
Test subject must choose between 3 gateways
Gateway transit analysis will determine fate of test subjects
So did you push the button or it was your wife?
My wife
Yeah, yeah, mine too
And now she's dead
Did you killed her?
I did it for my daughter
What you mean you did it for your daughter?
I had to make a choice
Between my wife, and my daughter
You really want to track with it?
Not the result
Let's move
Alpha team, take him
Weapons down
Move move move
Arthur, Arthur listen to me
Whatever happens gives this point on life got the ramifications
you can possibly fair them
Please, have a sit
Where's our son?
He's in a safe place, we'll get to him in a moment
Please sit down
I want you to know
That I have the deepest respect admiration for you both
You gave me hope
But I am very sorry
That you pushed the button
I'm afraid I have to tell you that 2 of you son's
Functional senses have been impaired
He can no longer see
And he can no longer hear
Where is he?
What'd you done with him?
I have done nothing with him
I'm just the vessel
You are now presented
With 2 options
Option 1
You can live the rest of your lives and enjoy the money that has been given to you
and learn to live with your son's permanent impairment
It is irreversible
He will never hear your voices or see your faces again
Option 2
There's 1 bullet
In the chamber of this gun
You can fire with it to your wife's heart, killing her
The exact moment that your spirit leaves your body
Your son will be return to normal
As the million dollars it will be placed into an interest bearing account
Given to your son on his 18th birthday
Let me kill myself
Arthur has nothing to do with this
I'm sorry
The offer is not negotiable
Arthur, you must fire the gun
Norma, you must die
Or Walter will be forever in darkness and silence
Kill me if you like, Mr. Lewis. Condemn you son to a life of agony
You will be in prison for murder of Arlington Steward
I'm here employee
And they will simply send another to replace me
Who?
Who will send another?
Arthur, please don't
-Who -don't
Good day to you
Mr. Steward
Can I be forgiven?
I don't know
I understand you admired writings of Jean Paul Sartre
Perhaps
Those words will comfort
There are 2 ways to enter the final table
Free, or not free
The choice is ours
You gave me glimpse of the after life, didn't you
Because this is purgatory
And you here to shut us down
Your son is locked upstairs's bathroom

Someone is not there?

It's the only way
There's no other way

What?
When you ask him about the after life he smiled at us
-He did he? -Yeah
