You ready to go?
Yeah, I think so.
And you're absolutely sure
about this, right?
Pretty sure, yeah.
There's nothing I can do
to change your mind
at this point?
Elspeth, no.
Please, don't make this
harder than it already is.
It's okay.
Hey, you know I hate it
when you do that.
So you're coming back
after you drop me off?
Yeah. There are just a couple of things
I need to grab.
Don't want the movers
busting you.
Here, don't forget
your pills.
Thanks.
- You've got my key, right?
- Yeah.
Here it is.
Oh...
Attention all passengers
in the concourse:
This will be your final
boarding call
for flight 1102
with non-stop service to...
Excuse me.
You're Dr. Gray...
Cole Gray, aren't you?
Yeah. Why?
I work at the Facility.
Security.
You're headed there
for the position, right?
Yep.
I start tomorrow.
You live close
to the Facility, right?
Yeah, I kinda have to.
You wanna share a cab?
That won't be necessary,
gentlemen.
Miss Strack?
What are you doing here?
I'm picking up
our newest researcher.
And you too,
from the looks of it.
It's nice to see you
again, Cole.
It's good to finally be here.
I'm ready to get started.
Great. We're headed
straight for the Facility
so we can pick up your security card
and clearances for tomorrow.
Of course we'll
drop you off first.
I don't want Brianna
getting mad at me.
This way, gentlemen.
Cole, this is Jason Freese.
He'll be working with you
in the R&D division.
- Back to the Facility compound, right?
- Yeah.
And that brings the number
of disappearances to 12.
Another strange disturbance
has cropped up
in the community,
this time
right in town center.
Julie Dylan is on location
with the latest.
Hey, Phil, can you come
in here for a sec?
Captain, this is the third
such sinkhole in the past month.
Do you think the community
is in any kind of danger?
I respect
your conviction, son,
but sometimes I don't know why
you keep this up.
It's like banging your head
against the wall.
I'm pretty sure
that I know why he does it.
- What we know up to this point...
- Seriously?
Come on, would you guys
just drop it already?
All I'm saying is
you're not fooling anybody.
Son, what your mother's
trying to say is that you, uh...
you know, you spend
a lot of time with that girl.
Hey, Philip, seriously,
get in here and check this out.
- Who's he again?
- Andy. The tech guy?
I spend a lot of time with him too.
Now what does that mean?
That means that whatever choices
you've made,
we'll love you anyway.
But seriously, are you guys gonna be okay
tonight while I'm gone?
Don't worry about it.
I'm in for the night,
so I'll be here
if anything happens.
Nothing's gonna happen.
Ever since I started
the new meds,
- I've felt like a new woman.
- Mm.
Sounds like I wouldn't
want to be here anyway.
Well, we have no way of knowing
what's causing these.
I'm sure there's...
it's probably something
entirely logical.
I mean what we know
up to this point
is that preliminary readings
show no discernable danger
of gases or radiation...
I just wish they'd stop talking
about those stupid holes.
They weren't creepy till
the press made them creepy.
- Maybe it's the restless spirits.
- Not you too.
I hear enough of that
in the waiting room
at the doctor's office.
So we're just
cautioning people...
Sounds to me like
a Public Works issue.
...to stay as far away
as possible
from the immediate vicinity
of these disturbances.
And do you think the Facility
has anything to do
with these disturbances?
Well, l...
I can't comment on that.
Thank you, Captain.
We'll continue bringing you these updates
and more as soon as we get them.
And we're out.
Miss Dylan, I'd...
I'd like you to know
that I'm not being vague
on purpose.
We really don't know what's
going on around here, okay?
It's... it's okay, just as long
as you let me know
as soon as you have it
figured out.
d*uche bag.
Hey, Jesse, you ready to roll?
Yeah, I'm almost
wrapped up here.
That was the first
real one, right?
That I'm aware of?
Yeah.
Oh, way to throw him off.
Pretty smooth.
- I do have my moments.
- Yes, you do.
You know that Cole
gets in tonight.
Oh, that's right.
I almost forgot,
with everything going on.
Mom reminded me
this morning too
and she wants you
to call her, by the way.
I'll give her a call once we get back
to the station.
- And you need a haircut.
- Oh, that's cute. Ha.
Here, call Cole.
Thank you, Captain.
We'll continue bringing you these updates
and more as soon as we have them.
Well, you know
what that means.
Yeah, it pretty much always
plays out the exact same way.
You think that
this is related too?
Truth is stranger
than fiction
and coincidences
rarely happen.
I bet the disappearances
are related as well.
Have you heard anything
from anyone else yet?
Yeah, we're gonna meet up with everybody
and form a game plan.
Look, once this thing
goes down, we need to assume
we'll be the only ones
able to get the word out.
As far as I'm concerned
we're ready to go.
I have all the usual blogs and newsfeeds
standing by to break things for us.
Speaking of which...
I did some digging
and came across
a pretty
interesting article.
It may not be related,
but like you said,
coincidences rarely happen,
so there you go.
- What is it?
- Have you ever heard of Joseph Webber?
- I don't think so.
- Check it out.
Webber went to jail for child molestation
about 15 years back.
It all happened within
a few miles of here.
He got out
just a few months ago.
- Guess where he lives.
- Next door?
- No.
- Damn.
At the end of the street.
You're joking.
- Serious as a heart attack.
- That can't be possible.
When they release
those guys,
they're supposed
to relocate them
far far away from the area
they committed the crime in.
Yeah, that's what
you would think, right?
There has to be
something there.
That's just
a little too strange.
Wait until you hear
the rest.
I did some more digging and found
that people pretty much had
the expected reaction
to Webber's return.
Even with
all the brouhaha
the parole board refused
to move him.
He gets his assed kicked
almost every week like clockwork
and he can't do
anything about it.
But by all official accounts,
he's being a good boy...
- completely reformed.
- That's horrible
and also very compelling.
Who's worse: The criminal
or the society
that criminalizes him?
We should talk to him.
You do realize
that there's a chance
that he's involved
in these disappearances, right?
Yeah, of course I do,
but I'm pretty sure he's not involved
with the massive
pulsating sinkholes.
We could scoop
two stories at once.
Well, it sounds to me
like twice the work
and about four times
as thankless.
- Well, nobody said it would be easy.
- All right.
You are seeing
what I'm seeing, right?
Of course... the oblivious
devil-may-care guys
will triumph over Philip
once again.
Yeah, and it's not
even Andy's fault.
He probably doesn't even
realize what's going on.
I know.
With everything
going on with me, you know,
I just wish that Philip
could be happy for once.
Is that wrong of me?
- Oh.
- Sweetie, are you okay?
Oh.
Yeah yeah, I'm...
I'm fine, really.
It's probably just a side effect
of the new meds.
It happens
from time to time.
Are you sure? You never
mentioned that to us.
That's because
it was no big deal.
I didn't want you guys
to worry needlessly.
- Maybe Philip should have stayed.
- No.
I want him to come,
but I want him to go.
Oh, just forget about it.
I just wish that Andy guy
would not be around.
Yeah, I know.
All right, so I guess
I'll see you guys in a bit.
We're meeting him
there, right?
Yeah, we're meeting
everybody at 7:30.
Well, we've got
some time to k*ll.
- You wanna grab dinner or something?
- Hmm.
Hey, Webber,
heard you got cancer.
Enjoy it, because you
damn well deserve it.
I know you had something to do
with those missing people.
And you know what?
I'm gonna get the boys together
and we're gonna k*ll you,
you perverted f*ck.
Joseph, it's Billy
from the pen.
I get out next week.
And when I do,
I'm gonna come by
and I'm gonna f*ck you just...
So you've seen
the tests.
I'm actually appalled
at the toxicity levels.
I sent it back twice just to be sure
there wasn't a mistake.
- Now do you believe us?
- Yeah.
I don't want to,
but yeah.
These guys are supposed
to be curing a disease,
not infecting people
with another one.
- So you're with us on this?
- Of course I am.
This is an outrage!
This is the worst case
of corporate negligence
- I've ever seen.
- Who said negligence?
All right, we have to prepare ourself
for the very real possibility
that this is all done
on purpose...
the tumors, the disappearances,
the things in the ground.
Considering something like that
scares the sh*t out of me.
It scares the sh*t
out of all of us.
That's why we have to get the word out
and hopefully put a stop to it.
I'm pretty sure one-third of this town
has cancer already.
Do you think that we could get a copy
of all those X-rays
and post them on the blog?
Oh, that's a bit morbid,
don't you think?
Yeah, maybe, but it could definitely
hammer it home, you know?
Sometimes you have to
shock people into action.
That's true, but we don't really have
an informant at the hospital yet,
not like we do at the Facility,
at least.
Well, hopefully this next media blast
will change all that.
Apparently something huge is supposed
to be happening in the next few days,
so we need to get this
out there like yesterday.
Now, guys, keep in mind
that we're about
to get our hands on some
truly implicating stuff.
We've never been in
with a group this large
and never
with video support.
- Speaking of which...
- They're on their way.
Okay.
Like she said,
it's not going to be easy.
Security is super tight
around there.
Is it really necessary that we go into
the belly of the beast like this?
- It's all we got.
- Yeah.
This place has the media
on total lockdown.
We have to bring out
irrefutable evidence.
It's the only way anyone would listen
to us at this point.
So, Jen,
how do you propose
we get in there
to get the proof we need?
I think I might have
an idea.
- We have about an hour left, right?
- Yeah, that's it.
Hey, would you mind
stopping right over here?
- Just for a minute.
- I don't know. Do we have time?
Sure, we're...
we're in no hurry.
Uh, I have a few phone calls
to make anyway.
- What's here?
- Jennifer.
Oh.
Hey.
Is uh... is Jennifer here?
Jen?
It's for you.
Ouch.
Yeah, hi.
The plan is to go
with a soft start tomorrow
and then we'll be hitting full throttle
by week's end.
Yeah, I saw it.
- Hey.
- Hey.
You're here already.
Why didn't you ask me
to come pick you up?
Oh, they had a ride
waiting for me.
Nice.
Hey, I was wondering, um,
after I get settled in,
you wanna do something
later tonight?
Oh, I can't.
See, I've got this meeting
going on right now
and it's probably
gonna run late.
We're still trying to figure out the new
format for our website revision.
You could just, you know...
you could come over or something.
- Oh, l...
- Um, hey, Jen,
I really think we need to get the meeting
back on track, so...
Barry.
So...
Actually, I'll probably
just see what Mark's doing.
He told me that
he'd be in town, so...
Well, that sounds
like a good idea.
Hey, why don't
I call you later?
- When we're done, okay?
- Yeah.
So you're headed
to the meeting tonight.
So you're headed
to the meeting tonight.
Yeah, we're heading
down there in a bit.
Just gonna go by the house
and get a quick bite to eat first.
You guys need to...
tonight.
She's moving up...
the... table.
You're breaking up.
Say it again.
You guys have to...
tonight.
I think she's...
the timetable.
I said you have to get
in there tonight!
They're already aiming the main...
out in the neighborhood.
I think the whole thing is...
in the next 24 hours.
There's already...
that indicates...
Okay, what? Say it again, man.
You're breaking up.
Wait, okay.
All right, it's clearing up.
Go ahead.
I said we just registered
a big activity spike near you.
The effect triangulation
also connects to... Anderson house.
- What?
- The Ander... house!
...derson!
What did you say?
Mrs. Anderson wishes
you weren't even around.
Aah!
You stay the f*ck away
from Philip Anderson.
Hey, Jacob.
Still tearing it up
online again, buddy?
Guess so.
Plug a couple
for me, champ.
Baby, I'm home.
Jacob?
No!
No eggs?
No, wait wait.
Lately... lately
it's been bricks
just waiting to...
to smash my face in.
Okay, now that we're here,
what exactly am I taking pictures of?
Okay.
Now I have to ask myself,
"Is this really worth it?"
Because...
somebody's gonna do something
really shitty to me today.
It's bound to happen,
but l... I've got to go
to the store.
At the very least
I'll get some stares.
Yeah, maybe called
a name or two.
Ah.
And then there's these.
That's... that's all I need.
Hey, guys, something's going on
with this dude.
Gonna play my game.
What the hell?
Could be the cancer.
I heard he got sick too.
You mean sicker.
Gah!
So I hear you like
to f*ck kids.
Let me show you
how it feels.
Aah!
Jesus.
What?
I don't know.
- We'll look later. Keep snapping.
- Okay.
Play with... play with...
It's not real.
- Let me show you how it feels.
- No, it's not real.
It's not real.
Real...
Real...
Guys, l... I don't know
what I just saw.
It looked pretty weird
from where I'm standing.
- Yeah.
- And no video. Freakin' Andy.
- You've got the camera with the video.
- Oh yeah.
We have got
to follow this guy.
I have a feeling wherever he goes,
sh*t's going down.
Trace, you coming or you going back
to Jennifer's?
Let's just do it.
No sh*t.
Oh sh*t.
- What's the speed limit here?
- About 20, I think.
- Are you f*cking kidding me?
- Come on, he's not gonna go far.
This sucks.
We've been having a lot
of long days here lately.
We had quite a number
of breakthroughs.
It's gotten everyone
really jazzed up.
Of course we reimburse
for overtime.
Word is you're the guy
who's closest to the cure.
That's what
they're saying, huh?
Oh, that's what
we're hearing.
Well, I must say that
I'm especially intrigued
by the new top-secret vaccine
you guys have developed.
Mm-hmm.
I couldn't dig up any information
on it in journals,
which is pretty...
it's pretty rare these days.
You get to see
everything tomorrow.
In the meantime,
here we have your credentials,
the Facility map,
the benefits package.
And we activated this
and we set it to the pin
you requested.
Oh, one more thing...
we still need to get you in
for a physical...
just a formality.
But that reminds me... I understand
you've been on medication.
- Yeah, migraines.
- Hmm.
- How'd you know that?
- Our doctors here pulled your history.
We just want to make sure
we're all on the same page.
Well, I think
we're done here.
- Yes?
- Yes.
Great.
So, Dr. Gray, you mind
if I join you and Wayne for drinks tonight?
No, not at all.
We'll probably have
a few more friends show up.
Hey, the more the merrier.
How about you, Louise?
No, thank you.
Tomorrow's the anniversary
and I'm gonna try and stop by
my mother's tonight.
Oh, that's right. I forgot.
I'm sorry about that.
Don't worry about it.
You guys have a good time.
So what brings you to our
quaint little hamlet, Dr. Gray?
Any of your names
Jennifer Crusel?
- Mark.
- Mark.
I take it this is
your friend, Dr. Gray?
No, I've never seen
this guy before.
What's up, man?
- Cole, Cole, my ace in the hole.
- How are you doing, man?
- Good, man. You're looking good.
- Good.
Mark Kincaid, this is Jason
and his boyfriend John.
Nice to meet you.
How long have you guys
known each other?
- Um...
- Let's see...
I don't know if he'll ever be ready
to hear something like that.
So what does
that mean for us?
I mean, what kind of future
do you think we can have
if we're sneaking
around town all the time?
We'll figure it out.
Who cares what they think?
Hey.
Ready to switch?
Who cares
what they think, right?
Come on.
Hey.
Hey, hold on.
- How far do I get to take the charade?
- What just happened?
You don't even get
to high-five her, bro.
How is he gonna believe
that I'm her boyfriend
if I don't give her
a goodnight kiss?
- He's got a point, Mark.
- Just a little one.
- You two are terrible.
- I'm just messing with you, man.
Relax, okay?
I'll come back here, all right?
All right.
You staying over?
Yes, sweetheart,
I'm staying the night.
- Well, thank you.
- Okay.
- You wanna watch some shitty movies?
- No doubt.
- Okay, later.
- Cool.
Thus began
our beautiful long-term friendship.
Cheers.
So who's this
Jennifer Crusel?
And why does her name
sound so familiar?
She's, uh,
just this girl.
That he's madly
in love with.
See? This is a story
that I wanna hear.
- Oh, it is.
- Do tell, Dr. Gray.
Yes, Dr. Gray,
do tell indeed.
I personally think
you should get a tattoo
on your forehead that says
"f*cking chump."
Then every time you look
in the mirror... wha!
Yeah, how many chances
are you gonna give this girl?
Dude, I just met you.
Definitely more
than he gave me.
Ah, I guess we're getting
the band back together.
Hi, Jesse.
Hey, Julie.
- Here, wanna sit?
- Yeah.
I'm surprised you weren't
waiting for him at the airport.
I heard that you might
be coming back
for a job
at the Facility.
You know, gotta wonder why the hell
you would ever want to come back here.
Boy, you just missed the tail end
of a mean conversation.
So, Miss Stanton,
I've seen you around a bit.
Yeah, well, this is
pretty much my beat,
but I don't usually
get much work
since there isn't
much crime in this area,
not until lately.
It was kind of weird
when the community got annexed.
They didn't fire
or demote us...
just kind of reassigned
our duties.
But we also cover some of the other
suburban areas, but it's pretty slow.
Does anybody know anything
about the disappearances
or any of the other
weird stuff going on?
What you got from the captain
is par for the course.
It's got the entire department
in complete chaos.
Speaking of which,
Mark here used to be a local cop too.
Hey, Mark, why don't
you enlighten us
on that subject
a little bit?
There isn't too much
to tell, really.
- Oh, there's not?
- No.
Wow. Are you flustered?
I've never heard
this story.
Yeah well, Cole,
isn't that...?
Aw sh*t.
Hey, kids.
- She's young.
- Are you surprised?
- What do you want?
- I haven't heard from you in a long time.
I didn't even know
you were coming to town till today.
Yeah. Well, you know,
there's reasons for that.
What the hell
does that mean?
- Nothing.
- Nothing?
So who is it tonight?
Jesus Chri...
is that...?
He is just a friend.
You got a lot of those.
Hey, Mark.
Check out who she's with.
You've gotta be kidding me.
How long have you been
getting Walter over there
to pay your bills?
- f*ck' leech.
- Don't you talk to me that way...
ever.
- Let's start getting coverage for tomorrow.
- Yeah.
Are you guys staying?
Yeah, we should wrap this up.
Uh, big day tomorrow.
- Yeah.
- You can do better than that.
You make me f*ck' sick.
Bye, guys.
I'm surprised.
You didn't introduce me
to your shitty little friends.
- I'm so offended.
- Nice.
You know what?
I wish I never had you.
And sometimes
I wish the same thing.
We have something
in common.
What's going on
over here?
Nothing...
nothing at all.
Just talking to my son,
my loving son.
I haven't spoken to you
in, what, a year, is it?
So when's the last time
you saw your daughter, Walter?
f*ck you, you mongrel
piece of sh*t.
Punk.
- Okay.
- Hey, Walter, do you even know her?
- What are you talking about?
- Do you even know her?
- You don't understand, Cole.
- Just sit down.
- Don't touch me.
- Marie. You don't understand.
No, you don't understand.
You're the latest one for her.
- Just sit down.
- How many different guys was it
when I was growing up, Mom?
Because I lost count.
- You know what... you need
to just stop it.
Don't talk to her...
Cole, you shouldn't...
- I shouldn't talk to her like that?
- She's your mother.
- No, you shouldn't.
- Ask her about the cigarette burns.
Ask her about her forcing me
to eat out of the trash.
You know what... better yet, let me
just show you something.
- This is funny sh*t.
- He doesn't need to see that.
You will love this sh*t.
Get the f*ck off me!
- This one here... that's funny, right there.
- Don't. Don't.
So don't tell me why I shouldn't talk
to her like that.
- Cole, maybe you should calm down.
- Yeah, man.
- Oh, Cole, your nose.
- Whoa, you all right?
I'm okay.
- I just got the worst headache.
- Oh, I can see why.
I think you two
need to go home.
I think you need
to mind your business.
Marie, come on,
come on.
- Let's go. Come on.
- Sit down.
- Do you feel okay to leave?
- Yeah.
- Good, you can walk me home.
- We can go.
Mark.
I think I'm actually
gonna catch up
with Julie and Jesse,
maybe share some info.
Yeah, that always seems
to work pretty well for you.
I'll catch up
with you, Cole.

stricken by the disease.

- Here I am.
- What's up with that though?
You don't get double time?
- I guess not.
- I wouldn't do that.
- No.
- No personal leave?
- God, that sucks.
- What does he think you are, a robot?
I don't know, man.
Yo, watch this.
Oh sh*t.
Can I help you?
Yeah, I'm looking
for the paper goods aisle.
Like toilet paper
and Kleenex...
that sort of thing?
Yeah. Yes,
that sort of thing.
Where do I need to go?
Aisle 11-2.
Oh no.
Oh sh*t.
- Thank you.
- You're very welcome.

No.
Ahh!
- Jesus!
- I didn't realize he was going this far.
No, it doesn't matter.
We're here. We gotta find him.
What the...?
- sh*t! Go after him!
- Go after him?
Yeah, he could be...
damn it!
Mr. Webber.
Joseph Webber.
- What happened?
- Ahh!
- What did you just do?
- Did the Facility make you do it?
Facility? What?
I don't know what you're talking about.
I didn't do anything.
I just went in there
to buy some toilet paper,
for Christ's sake and...
And what?
None of this is real.
Don't you see?
It's not real!
Yeah?
Well, I see that...
...and that looks
very f*cking real.
Ah!
Okay, we need to go.
Get in.
Are you kidding?
You're a convicted felon.
- No. No way.
- I'm with Tracie on this one.
I mean, he could have caused
whatever happened in there.
- He's covered in blood.
- Whatever happened is still happening.
I told you this was
bigger than him.
Look, come on. We gotta
see how this plays out.
Look, I don't know
who the f*ck you people are;
I don't know what you want;
all I know is I need to go!
Now!
I need to find help!
You couldn't pay me enough money
to get in with that...
- Ah!
- Get in! Go go go!
Get in. sh*t.
...a series of increasingly
bizarre events
...a series of increasingly
bizarre events
that have been plaguing
the community.
No, he's not here yet.
No, I don't want him to.
Remember, you said
it might jeopardize the plan.
I know we're
on the same side.
I just think we should
let this go.
Well, I can't help that,
all right?
But be warned:
The following footage
may not be suitable
for younger viewers.
Are you watching this?
No, look,
I can't do that.
I think they know.
I said I think they know
what's going on.
No, I can't turn
my TV down.
I think my place is bugged.
I mean it's gotta be somehow.
I'm not being paranoid.
I can tell the difference.
Look, the guy's here
and tomorrow's the big...
So everything's still going
according to plan, right?
You know how you're
gonna get in, right?
We've got to get
this information out.
No, I told you
why I can't do that.
Not like that.
I'll call you back.
Federal Bureau of Investigation.
How may I help you?
- I need to speak to Agent Park right now.
- One moment, please.
Hello?
sh*t!
John?
John?
John, is that you?
Jason?
Jason, where are you?
Can you hear me?
Jason!
Stop the car!
FBI.
God damn it!
How'd the f*ck' feds
find out about this, Katherine?
We've been on their watch list
ever since we did that stuff
with Sea Shepherd last year.
- I knew that was a bad idea.
- And now we're being chauffeured
by a child predator
covered in blood.
- Nice.
- Shh!
I need you to take me
to the Facility. Now!
Uh, yeah yeah, sure.
O-okay, yeah.
Get in.
Okay, guys, we need to move.
Looks like they're going live
at the Facility in the next 24 hours.
Okay, everyone,
listen up.
Make sure you check the files
on the main subjects.
Some of them are interrelated
and their aberrations
will feed off
of those connections.
We have at least one subject
that is a known felon... a child predator.
Some of the other subjects
were chosen strictly based on
personality disorders
and psychosis.
As a result,
things might get intense,
so be prepared.
Once again, the person
running the show is Louise Strack.
You might remember her
from PSYOPS.
Her brother,
also with the Bureau,
was k*lled in a foreign skirmish
five years ago.
Since then she's been
hiding underground,
possibly driven
by revenge.
We've been watching her
for a while
and we're relatively certain
that she's been continuing
her research
where she left off here,
which is a very
dangerous place to be.
I need you guys prepared
for the worst.
Our main objective
is retrieval, not destruction.
Keep trying to get in touch
with the contacts on the inside.
Yes, sir.
Access granted.
Look at you, bad girl.
And how long
have you known this guy?
A long time.
Come on, let's go.
Some of this stuff...
Wow.
Apparently they were breaking
ground for a subdivision.
- They found something.
- What?
Doesn't really say.
It's actually more disturbing
in that it's so vague.
Hey, check this out.
"Indeterminate substances
and anomalies
discovered in tests...
no known matches...
highly toxic."
- Oh my God.
- What?
This memo earmarks the land
for low-income housing projects.
No no no, that jives
with what we heard.
There are some really strange
records over here.
Infrasonics,
pulsed microwaves,
massive carcinogen
dispersal...
and then there are some
really esoteric subjects.
- Like what?
- Karl Wiligut and Sidney Gottlieb
are the only names
I recognize.
Oh, that's enough for me
to know this can't be good.
There's also some...
Is this Satanic...
No!
You guys need
to come with us.
What the f*ck was that?
Wait.
What the hell
is he doing here?!
Jennifer, look,
it's a long story.
I'm still fuzzy on the details,
but I think he has
- a part in this somehow.
- An unwilling part.
Webber was specifically
chosen by the project
for his deviant
thought patterns.
My head... it's really
starting to hurt again.
He also makes a nice scapegoat
to blame all the abductions on.
These are hospital records
for every person that's gone missing.
All right, that... stop.
What the hell is going on here?
Seriously, I think something bad
is gonna happen again.
All of the info is in here.
Scan it quickly.
I know you were planning
on sharing it with the public.
- How did you know that?
- I know...
I knew your informant.
We also had another guy
on the inside...
a security guard,
but he's disappeared as well.
Look, take this
and get it out now.
Start spreading the word
before the information gets quashed.
Getting this out in the public is the only
way to make sure something gets done.
We can upload it
at Philip's house.
That way we can get my mom
and dad out as well.
Oh, it burns!
It hurts, oh!
- It burns!
- Wait!
I don't care what I just saw
or what happened,
I'm not going anywhere
with this scumbag.
- Look, you don't know what he did.
- I know exactly what he did.
That's why he's here.
Hey.
Hey!
Hey, what the f*ck
is wrong with him?
Nothing's wrong.
Nothing at all.
Oh no!
No no!
Oh no!
Get down.
No!
No!
- Why?
- Get down.
- Get out of here! Go!
- No, sh**t him!
Is she gone?
Hello?
Strack?
Yeah, it's me.
I'm at home.
Why?
sh*t.
Whoa. Okay.
What the hell was that for?
- I knew it.
- Knew what?
- That he's the cause somehow.
- Somewhat.
But he isn't the only one with the talent
or whatever you wanna call it.
Most are out there,
but the others here, the abductees,
they serve to boost
the effect.
What?
I don't follow.
We don't have time right now.
Jennifer, find the map.
I need to get to the center
of the Facility.
- What's in the center?
- The amplifiers, for lack of a better word.
Okay, we need to go here.
- You guys are safer if you stay with me.
- Mom?
- L... I have to go home.
- What?
- Wait, let me see that. Let me see that.
- L... I have to leave.
- sh*t sh*t.
- I have to go home.
Okay, Philip, Philip, Philip.
Look, calm down, okay?
Calm down.
Philip, listen to me.
As far as I can tell,
everything out there is relatively sane.
Listen to me, okay?
I know I'm not gonna be able to stop you
short of sh**ting you,
but you need to understand
some things first
so you and Katherine
can take this information
and share it
with everyone, okay?
- Okay. O-okay.
- Good.
Here's the short version
as I understand it.
Somehow certain people...
the ones on the list
including your mother...
they developed a rare
neurological condition.
It says cancer here.
Probably from the sh*t they dug up,
which according to this
could be anything from industrial waste,
concentrated evil,
extraterrestrial material
and everything in-between.
Jason said
they called it cancer
because they ruled out
everything else.
This was something new.
It manifested itself
in different ways...
seizures, tumors,
migraines.
Eventually they figured
it wasn't destroying the brain;
- it was rewiring it somehow.
- Who's they?
Who do you think?
We've seen next to no one
around here.
We got word
that something big
was supposed to happen
this week.
We know that there's
a skeleton crew here,
but everyone else
is off site.
I'm beginning
to understand why.
So what is this
doing to my mom?
Simply put:
Anyone with this condition...
Do you know
what psychokinesis is?
Yeah, it's the sh*t
I read about in comic books.
Not anymore.
Apparently these people
can control things
down to the molecular level.
Well, what about the ghost stories,
the fire... all that?
Every experiment
has to have a control
to eliminate
certain conclusions.
They fed that story
to the community
to try and induce a specific
measurable result.
A sort of feed-off-
of-the-group thing.
Isn't that a bit much?
Obviously they can't alert
everyone to what's going on.
And sometimes
the best stories
are the ones with a kernel
of truth in them.
So they really did burn down
the entire neighborhood.
The neighborhood
and everyone in it.
Jesus.
We're not sure if they came up
with the idea first
or if it grew out of the plan
to take back the area.
Either way, one fed
into the other.
All right,
here's the exit.
Keep out of sight and run
straight to your house.
We'll try and catch up
with you later.
Most importantly,
- you need to get that stuff on the web.
- Okay.
Keep in mind that these constructs
are created by human minds,
so the usual deterrents
will work...
a head trauma,
blinding light.
Let's go.
- Something's here.
- No.
There's... there's
absolutely nothing here.
Look around.
No, this isn't the truth.
I know. L... I can feel
the differences.
It's so much easier.
He's right.
This is supposed to be where
they keep the main amplifiers.
You keep saying that.
What the hell are you talking about?
According to the info
we gathered,
the neurological aberration
manifests itself in two ways.
Think of it like
an electric guitar.
There are instruments...
we call them pushers...
of which there are several
throughout the neighborhood.
Then there are those who serve
as a conduit to the pushers.
Like an amplifier, they help
the pusher think louder.
It also makes the effect
cover a larger area.
- So Cadence and the other abductees...
- Act as amplifiers, yes.
They can do a small amount
of pushing on their own.
But you don't want your linebacker
throwing the ball.
And you don't want your quarterback
on defense.
Though there are some of those with
the affliction that can do a little of both.
- So you're saying they're in here?
- They're supposed to be, yes.
They must have moved them,
or it's a fake out.
They're here.
It's so much easier.
I can just unfold.
It's not just about us,
you know?
There's something
about this place,
something underground
that's... it's still
a part of this.
Please don't mention
Indians or burial grounds.
No, that's not...
no, there's something else.
Someone's coming
through that door.
- What the f*ck's going on?
- Mark, it's okay.
Calm down.
For real?
sh*t.
So what do you know?
Something's pushing.
- It's getting stronger!
- What's going on?
What the f*ck
is he doing here?
She's hiding them all
from us.
She's a little
self-conscious, it seems.
She?
Now that we're all here...
activate everyone.
We're starting
the experiment early.
You heard her.
Start the pulse and activate
the post-hypnotic
fail safes.
Copy that.
Starting pulse.
- Aah!
- Aah!
We wouldn't normally
go this fast,
so I'm sure it hurts.
What did you just do?
Oh, we had to move
our timetable a little ahead.
What are you doing
in this lab?
You've got it all wrong.
This isn't the lab.
The lab's out there...
the whole neighborhood.
Where's Cadence?
Tell me or I'll blow
your f*ck' head off.
She's right here, Mark,
with all of the other amplifiers.
They've become very strong.
Any shot you take
runs the risk of hitting her.
- No you don't!
- Mark.
Mark, you don't understand.
She's beyond help.
This is the only way.
Doing this won't bring
your brother back.
Maybe not, but it'll
sure make the wars
a lot more interesting.
I'm so sorry, Cole,
but your girlfriend over there
jumped the g*n a little.
She thinks you're
his girlfriend.
All you did was f*ck!
Aah!
Barry!
Aah!
Aah!
Jesus Christ!
See? That was
definitely interesting.
Of course we're gonna have to discuss
what happens with that footage.
- We're not faking this time.
- So the media knew all along?
Word of mouth
only goes so far.
They even helped us
set up our scapegoat.
We didn't know. We thought that
you were helping Cole.
We didn't know
either f*cking way!
Migraines.
Medication.
Your fractured psyche
was precisely what
we've been searching for.
After all,
thoughts are energy
and energy
doesn't disappear.
It just changes form.
Exactly, Dr. Gray.
You... you were
tailor-made for this.
Your intellect gives you
better focus.
It makes you capable of both
pushing and transmitting.
It took us pointing
all 12 of our amps
to take out
Freese and William.
- But with you...
- If I'm as powerful as you say,
what's to stop me
from pointing this at you?
And then him?
No!
Watch it, Cole.
- Philip.
- Dad?
- Is something wrong?
- Oh no, son.
Your mother and I are just taking care
of a few things inside.
Come on in.
It's getting late.
Honey, Philip's back.
Dad, what's going on here?
Where's Katherine?
Son, there are some things
we need to discuss with you.
We know what's going on
with you and Katherine.
- What?
- Your mother and I, we...
you know, actually she should
be in here for this.
- Honey?
- I don't understand.
You guys are gonna
have to come in here.
I can't seem
to figure this out.
All right, then.
Let's go talk to her.
I might need you
to help me over here.
- What?
- I'm having the worst luck.
What's wrong with you?
Calm down, Phil.
You've hurt your mother's
feelings enough lately.
You're different
ever since she came around.
We understand.
We know what happened
and why you've been so distant.
What?
We wanted to help you
with your problem, honey,
figure it out together
like the old days.
I just can't seem
to find the baby.
Oh my God,
she's not pregnant.
We've never even
slept together.
It's okay, son.
You can tell us the truth.
We love you.
We really do
love you, Philip.
It's for the best.
Maybe you should look
higher up, honey.
Philip, you get
back here.
It's okay.
Give him time.
He's just not himself.
Now... now, come here
and help me.
Now grab hold of that
and pull.
I love you.
I love you too.
- Ready?
- Yeah.
This happened already.
Cadence.
She's here all right.
But that's not her.
That's just who
and where she wants to be.
Look over here.
The conduits,
amplifiers... whatever.
None of this is real.
It seems
real enough to me.
Wait.
Something's happening.
Yeah, she's pushing.
And he might be too.
And then the amplifiers
are helping.
- Where'd they go?
- They're already here.
We just have
to catch up to them.
You see?
Cadence.
You can't.
- Did this already happen?
- Yeah.
They must be projecting
shared memories.
It has to be some form of mental shock
from the strain.
You know
this will never work.
So how long have
you known the truth?
- Who's that?
- That is her dad.
Roger saw you
and that half-breed
out at the movies
last month.
I made the rest on my own.
We didn't really
get along.
You know there's nothing
you can do about this, Dad.
All I really can do
at this point, honey,
is to try to talk
some sense into you.
- Your condition...
- It's not about my condition.
That's just
an easy excuse for you.
- Please.
- I can't do this right now.
Honey, you need
to listen to me.
No!
What?
Neil Holloway,
please pick up
the nearest
white courtesy phone.
Neil Holloway, please pick up
a white courtesy phone.
Hmm, she seems to be giving off
different patterns.
They're stronger,
but less focused.
It's like gross motor skills
versus fine motor skills.
I'm thinking she may
be able to augment
some of our more
precision-based subjects.
We've got to get her back to the Facility
for testing as soon as possible.
You don't want me
to see her anymore.
I guess you knew
I was gonna say that.
We've... we've
done this before.
But this is the last time.
She cannot have
any distractions.
These people
are gonna help her.
Mark, if you
really love her...
if you really love her,
you'll walk away now.
They are not
gonna help her!
Cole?
Dr. Lance,
please report to the ICU.
Dr. Lance to the ICU.
Cole should be okay.
But we did notice
some abnormal brain activity
that you might want
to bring him back in for.
- Could be the cause of his depression.
- Just... you know what?
How much is all this sh*t
gonna cost me?
We'll bill you.
Mommy?
Do you know what your father
would have done to me
if you had k*lled yourself?
The biggest mistake
I ever made
was not leaving you
with him.
Listen to me.
Next time,
you do it right.
You probably shouldn't
be doing that.
I know.
I can't help it.
Yeah yeah,
I kind of understand.
- You do?
- Yeah.
Look,
I'll tell you what...
you can come over to my place
anytime you want.
We can hang out,
talk, play games,
just have fun...
the two of us.
How about that?
Aah!
You knew I was vulnerable.
You piece of sh*t.
Sor... sorry. L...
There'll never be
enough sorries.
Do it, baby.
k*ll him.
Holy sh*t.
And then we can f*ck.
I'll still be warm
for at least another half-hour.
I may even let you
put it in my new hole.
Mm.
Cole, is... is that you
or him doing that?
To tell you the truth,
I don't know.
It's Cole.
Help me! Help!
What's your ETA?
Things are getting
extremely crazy around here.
Affirmative! They've evacuated
all the subjects,
and from what I can tell the receivers
are still active as well.
The effect radius covers
the entire neighborhood.
at the rendezvous point.
Cadence, is that you?
Yes... and no.
It's a long story.
No!
Actually that's what
has to happen, Mark.
We can't think ourselves
out of existence.
Who do you think
made you bring that?
We're like an antenna
and I'm at the top of the tower.
You can do it
if you prefer...
k*ll us, I mean.
How many... what did
she call them?
Pushers.
They push reality.
How many pushers are there
throughout the neighborhood?
About 50,
all with varying degrees
of mental instability.
I guess the most
volatile minds
give the most
interesting results.
Especially if you're thinking
in terms of weaponry.
What has to happen?
Once we're... turned off,
the effects will become
more localized
and more easily contained.
What about Strack
and everyone else at the Facility?
They're watching
and recording
from a base station
not far from here.
Never get in the cage
with the animals.
Now what?
Cole, I can fully activate you
and take you to the next level
so you can put
a stop to this.
I can alter your brain
to put you further along.
I don't know what that kind of leap
might do to you.
It took them over a year
to do it to me.
It can't get any worse.
There.
Good luck.
Mark, it's time.
I'm staying with her.
Pull the pin and throw it in
when you leave.
Mark, are you sure?
Yeah.
I think.
Yeah.
I really want to.
We need to go!
Cole.
I really am so sorry.
I know.
- What the...?
- She was right...
it's much easier now.
Cole?
- Are you okay?
- Not really, no.
We need to get to the front
of the community.
- That's the rendezvous point.
- Everyone's been switched off.
The effect should dissipate without
the thought battery or whatever that was.
We just need to stay alert,
steer clear of people.
Right.
Come on, let's go.
We just lost most
of the sub-basement level.
It's negligible.
The effects will begin
to taper off,
but they'll last
a good half-hour.
The video we're receiving
is exactly in line with the dummy story.
Oh, we did an excellent job
of saturating the media.
These readings
are off the charts.
I still can't believe what we found
in Dr. Gray's file.
Oh, I know.
Speaking of which,
where's our consultant on that?
I'm right here.
Ah, Miss Gray.
Stay close by.
We may need you
to catalyze a response.
Henry, prepare procedures
for containment.
Affirmative.
Wait a minute.
Have you seen...
did you see Julie or Jesse?
I think they got pulled
through the wall.
No, they're here.
I'll go see
if they're okay.
You guys just stay here.
Don't take too long.
We need to move.
Jules? Jess?
Julie? Jess?
What?
Can't a brother and sister
take a bath together?
Oh my God.
You know we've always
been close.
Very close.
You could never
stand it, could you?
'Cause we had everything
that you didn't.
You're doing this
and you don't even know it.
You can't just shut off
your subconscious, Cole.
No.
Don't you see?
This is why
they chose you.
This is your idea of love.
Aah!
Hey, John, maybe you should
just knock me out.
John, look out!
Enjoy the lake of fire,
Sodomite.
Aah!
Come on, we have to go.
Now what?
- I think the effect's wearing off.
- Yeah?
But what about
the people in control?
I haven't forgotten them.
I think he's made
our location.
Send her in.
Cole.
You've got to stop.
Now you want
to show concern?
It's about 20 years
too late for that.
Look, I was trying
to talk to you in the bar,
but you wouldn't
talk to me.
I was going to tell you everything
that's going on here.
Cole, she's lying.
Am I really, Lisa?
Why don't you ask
her involvement in this?
What do you think it would take
for her to get back on top
after Marky boy
f*cked her over?
- Lisa?
- Think about this, Cole.
She's been lying to you
your entire life.
She's working for them.
This is just another way
to pull your strings.
Cole.
I am sorry
for how things were
when you were growing up.
I really am.
I mean I was young.
I was stupid.
I didn't know
how to make decisions.
You know none of that
is a good excuse, right?
I do.
But I swear to you
it's all gonna be better now.
I promise.
Come to me.
Cole, don't do it.
Cole.
Perfect.
They always want
the same thing.
Prepare to move in
and wrap this one up, gentlemen.
I love you.
Aah!
- Was that supposed to happen?
- No, you idiot!
Initiate
the neutralizer pulse!
I had no idea.
All men, prepare for entry
into the hot zone.
Stanton, are you okay?
Yeah. John didn't
make it though.
So you were
working for them.
She was working with us
to ensure your safety, Dr. Gray.
We'd like to keep you
alive and well
and offer you a position
with the Bureau.
As what?
A mental assassin?
You're missing
the bigger picture.
- You can harness this.
- Do you understand, Dr. Gray?
This goes beyond
basic telekinesis.
Make sure you get
core samples.
Can you imagine walking
into a b*ttlefield and...
I don't know, turning the weapons
to musical instruments?
Or going to
a drought-ridden village
and bringing water
to the surface?
This is what
we're talking about.
Doesn't that kind of
make me a god?
Arguably, by standard
definitions, yes.
I don't wanna be a god.
What do you want then?
When questioned about
the rampant vegetation growth
surrounding
the human remains,
university botanists
seemed baffled,
only going on record to say
that the plants appear to be
a never-before-seen
invasive species.
Further scientific study
is expected to resume
once the authorities have
completed their investigation.
And in breaking news
tragedy struck
the enclave community
just north of Cooperman's Creek
last night.
Isn't that your home town?
Yeah.
It's a good thing
you didn't take that job.
- The cause is yet to be determined.
- I know.
Local, state and, we are told,
federal authorities
are working together
to prepare
a full official statement
for release later today.
- Sources also tell...
- What time do we need to leave?
...a t*rror1st attack has yet to be ruled out.
