Reverie: a virtual reality program

where the impossible becomes possible.

Anything you desire, you can find here.

But sometimes, people get lost,

caught between fantasy and reality.

That's where she comes in.

Her name is Mara Kint.

Her job: find the lost ones
and bring them home.

And maybe, by saving them,

she just might find a way

to save herself.

Previously on "Reverie"...

Have you noticed anything unusual

since the BCI was implanted?
Hallucinations?

We call it derealization.

Aunt Mara, you're here for a reason.

This isn't real.

This is not real. Oh...

No...

I never left. I never left.

Are you okay?

Anything broken?

Mara?

- Are you all right?
- Yes.

How'd you... how'd you know my name?

That is, like, the 15th question

you should be asking me.

My name is Hill,

and I know why you're standing
in the middle of the street.

We should talk,

but first, I've gotta
get something to eat.

I'm... well, I'm starving, so...

Here you go, guys.

You said your name is Hill?

Oliver Hill.

I started Onira-Tech.

No, Alexis Barrett started Onira-Tech.

That's what she wants you to think.

We did it together.

Did she tell you the BCI was her idea?

- She didn't say it wasn't.
- Mm.

It's a brain-computer interface.

That's two things, right?

Alexis was the computer.

And you were the brain?

I flatter myself.

Oliver, are you on

psychiatric medication?

Why would you say that?

Because I've dealt with people who are.

I know the signs.

You're sharp.

No. I don't take meds, anymore.

They didn't help,
despite what Paul told you.

How do you know what Paul told me?

Well, full disclosure,
I've been keeping tabs on you

since I heard they were putting
someone new in Reverie 2.0.

Why?

Because before you came along,

I was the person who spent
the most time in 2.0.

That's why I know you're in danger.

What kind of danger?

The kind you're most afraid of:

losing your mind.

I know what you're seeing.

I know what's happening to you,

because it's been happening to me.

Derealization?

Yeah, I wish I could say it gets better.

I really do.

Oliver, I...

I just hallucinated a house.

I don't think it can get much worse.

How certain are you

that you're sitting in
this diner right now?

That that cup of coffee is real?

That I'm real?

Now, imagine what happened
tonight happens again tomorrow,

and for the next 100 days after that,

and there... is no cure.

I burn myself sometimes,

when I'm not sure if I'm really here.

Now, the endgame of 2.0
is to roll it out, right?

They're projecting 100 million
users in the first five years.

Think about that.

Think about all those people
all over the world

condemned to a sort of waking dream.

Why... why... why...
why are you telling me this?

'Cause you're the only person
who can help me stop it.

I need an ally inside of Onira-Tech.

They won't let me
near the place. Someone...

Okay, listen. Listen, listen.

I... I'm very grateful

for what you did tonight, I really am.

It's late. I have to go.

Mara...

Mara, wait.

Mara, wait!

Look, I was a founding
partner of Onira-Tech.

Have you ever heard them
mention my name?

Ever heard them say anything about me?

Why do you think that is?

They wanna pretend I don't exist,

'cause they don't wanna hear
what I have to say about 2.0.

I know Charlie Ventana.

He would never put anybody in danger,

- not if he could help it...
- Except that he did!

Look, I know this is a lot to absorb,

so just...

think about it. Okay?

And whatever you do, don't tell
them that you talked to me,

or about what happened tonight.

They'll just say I'm lying,

or that I'm insane.

But you know the truth.

We are not crazy.

Everyone, please turn in

your ID before reporting
to your supervisors.

You can get new IDs from the
security office later today.

Not you, Mara. Charlie's waiting for ya.

Am I in trouble?

Today, we're all in trouble.

Mara...

- What's going on?
- There's been a breach.

We've been robbed.

The BCI team was cataloguing
inventory last night

and discovered one missing.

Looks like it was stolen
four to six weeks ago.

Also, a tablet, an injector:

the full set.

One of our people must have taken it.

Did you get any sleep last night?

- Tons.
- Hm.

We make it easy as possible
to get a BCI, right?

"Build the market." That's our mantra.

Okay, so then, if it's so easy to get,

why would somebody steal one?

Glenn? It's Quincy.

Hey, little guy.

The mailman left this by the fountain.

I knew it'd be hard
for you to get, so...

Mm, thanks. You didn't have to do that.

- Anything good?
- I don't know.

You... you wanna open it?

- Really?
- Yeah.

Roberto Clemente?

1966?

Is that good?

If it's real. Is it real?

Quincy, I can hear you
from across the courtyard.

- Hi, Glenn.
- Roberto Clemente, 1966.

Come on, bud. Doctor's waiting.

Only one shot today.

I promise.

Keep it.

- Glenn...
- Really?

Yeah, no, no, no,
you can... you can, uh,

read the stats on the back
when you're getting your shot.

It'll distract you.

Thanks.

Thank you.

And I-I know it's hard,

but... if you ever wanna come over...

we'd love that.

I'm working on it.

Come on, bud.

Apertus.

"Onira-Tech co-founders

Oliver Hill and Alexis Barrett."

Hey, Dylan?

Is there any information on Oliver Hill?

Is there, like,
a company bio or something?

Oliver Hill is a neuroscientist

and was a founding partner
of Onira-Tech.

- He left the company 19 months ago.
- What else?

That's all the information
I'm authorized to disclose.

Well, that's not suspicious
at all, thanks.

Hey.

We got a lead.

There's somebody in Reverie
using an unregistered BCI.

There's only one of those,
so it's gotta be our thief.

I need you to go in after him right now,

get an ID, find out who he is,
what he's doing.

- Wh...
- There something wrong?

'Cause this has to happen right now.

No... I'm... yeah, I'm on it.

Apertus.

One, two, three,

four doors, four Reveries.

Well, you've been busy.

Ten, nine,

eight, seven,

six, five,

four, three, two...

Hello?

Never gets old.

Oh, okay. All right, great.

I'll take you over there

and show you exactly
where everything goes.

Let me just grab my clipboard.

Hey...

No, no, no, no, no, no, no, no-no.

Parking lot avatars are supposed to stay

in the parking lot.

What are you doing here?

I was just about to ask you
the same thing.

Hey, you.

Ah, damn it!

I almost had it.
Now I have to start all over again.

I have two unauthorized
personnel in the warehouse.

- Requesting assistance.
- 10-4.

Stay in your spot next time.

If you promise to return
the thousands of dollars

of stolen technology back to Onira-Tech,

you have a deal.

Exitus.

Wait!

- Did you find him?
- Yep.

So, what's he doing?

I don't think the BCI is
the only thing he plans on stealing.

I found him in the loading
dock of a company called MRL.

Dylan, what company has those initials?

34 U.S. corporations.

Oh, and there were
these biohazard symbols

on some of the boxes.

How many of those were medical?

There's a pharmaceutical company:

Medivax Research Laboratories
in Huntington Beach.

They develop treatments

for respiratory
and circulatory diseases.

Why would someone wanna rob them?

We found our thief: a BCI tech.

Says he stole the BCI

for a buyer he met
on a Dark Reverie site.

Oh.

Dark Re... Reverie? What's that?

Look, there are limits to
what you can do in Reverie.

Certain actions that
the avatars won't perform.

We program them not to.

Not everyone likes that.

They think there shouldn't be
any rules in a virtual space:

no moral boundaries.

Some people think it's
the best place in the world

to let off unhealthy energy.

And some people disagree.

We call what they want the Dark Reverie.

Great.

Our tech met the buyer
in one of the online groups.

The buyer gave him $50,000 in Bitcoin

for the BCI and the injection.

- Did he get a name?
- No.

You need to go back into Reverie

and find out everything
you can about him.

Charlie...

Yeah?

Why aren't you giving this
to the police?

Because the police means
press and publicity,

and those are things
I don't need right now.

Is there some kind of secret
you're trying to protect?

What do you mean?

I keep learning about things
that nobody even told me.

I didn't know about derealization,

until it happened to me.

I didn't know about this Dark Reverie.

Nobody even bothered to tell me

that Dylan was Alexis's brother.

Whoa, whoa, whoa,
where is this coming from?

Who's Oliver Hill?

How do you know that name?

I had another episode last night.

I thought I was going to
Jamie and Brynn's house.

Why the hell would you go there?

I didn't. It was a derealization.

And then there I was,
in the middle of the street,

and there was a car, and then...

Oliver Hill saved my life.

He was following you?

You know what, Charlie,

that wasn't the first thing
that I was worried about.

You haven't been taking medication.

So, you were encouraging
the derealization?

It was only for a week.

That's why you had
the episode last night.

Get back on the program.
It won't happen again.

Oliver says the more I get into Reverie,

the worse it'll get.

He doesn't know what he's talking about.

Well, that's funny, because he said

the same thing happened to him,

and when he tried to warn you about it,

you shut him out of the company,

the company that he helped you build.

Was he lying about that?

It's true, they were partners
in the beginning.

- Charlie...
- Mm.

Oliver's a brilliant guy,
but he has problems,

problems that started
before he got here.

He's unstable.

He said you would try to discredit him.

Come on, Mara.

You talked to the man.

Does he look like somebody
who's firing on all cylinders?

We had to fire him,
get a restraining order,

which is why he contacted you.

He can't talk to anyone of us

without getting arrested.

He said you were gonna
release 2.0 to the public.

That's years away.

We wouldn't release anything

without the proper testing
and safeguards.

He's trying to manipulate you, Mara.

Okay.

So...

I'm fine. He's dangerous.

That's it?

Yes.

You sure Oliver's the one
trying to manipulate me?

She doesn't believe it.

She doesn't believe it
because it's not the truth.

Tell her the truth,
and she'll believe it.

How long have we known each other?

Almost ten years.

We've been through
some scrapes together.

Yes, we have.

Have I had your back?

Always.

So do you really believe

that I would bring you here,
invite you in,

if I thought you could be hurt?

Charlie...

Things are going on
that I just don't understand.

I mean, what happened
last night was big.

Brynn appeared,

and said that I was there for a reason.

If you were...

we'll figure it out.

I still have your back.

By the way...

I think I found our thief.

There was a fountain in the Reverie,

and since MRL is real,

I figured that the fountain
must be real too.

And since he got the BCI downtown...

I had Dylan show me
images of downtown fountains,

until we found...

this.

- Not bad, huh?
- Not bad at all.

Okay, so, let's see...

This is the angle
that I saw in the Reverie,

which means he must live...

There.

Excuse me.

Are you going to see Glenn?

- Can I give you some advice?
- Sure.

I'm... I'm Mara, by the way.

And this is Charlie.

Liz and Quincy. Say hey, buddy.

Sorry. Not so talkative today.

Doctor's appointment.

But, uh...

you need to do something
about the handkerchief.

And why is that?

Glenn has some compulsions,

things he can't tolerate.

Sunlight.

He never leaves his apartment
during the day.

Noise. Anything blue.

So, if you wanna talk to him,

you'll wanna get rid of that.

Hope that helps.

Yes, it does. Thank you.

Come on, sweetheart.

Bye, buddy.

Go away or I'll call the police.

Oh, that's funny, 'cause I was thinking

I should call Medivax
Research Laboratories

and tell them you're about
to breach their security.

Or we can both call
and see what happens.

We might not if we can work this out.

- I'll talk to you, not him.
- No problem.

- I'll be fine.
- Wait... wait...

I'm a coder.

Freelance.

Uh, please, please, please, please!

Don't touch that.

Oh...

Okay.

"Glenn Maybach." Okay.

Hi, Glenn.

I'm Mara.

You think I'm some kind of freak?

No, I-I don't.

I think that you have...
a system, you know,

just a way to keep things

in order.

When I was little,

we had this, um... this staircase,

and there was no molding
on it or anything.

It was very contemporary.

But there were all these cracks
where the wall met the steps...

And I had to count the cracks.

And every time I went up the stairs,

it just took me longer and longer

to get to the second floor.

- What'd you do?
- I spackled the wall.

For me, the, um...

the cracks are everywhere,

but, you know, between
Amazon and Postmates,

there's really never been a better time

to be a shut-in with OCD, so...

You know, Glenn...

I understand how valuable
Reverie is to you.

I really do.

I mean, so many people use it
just for that reason, you know,

to... to do things

that you could never
normally do in real life.

But... why are you using it

to rob a drug company?

Hey, is everything okay?

Uh, yeah... yeah, Charlie. We're good.

Did they develop a new medicine for OCD?

I mean, why not just buy it?

Uh, no, no, no, no, no.
He can't do that.

Uh... uh, I... I got this.
Charlie, I got this.

No, don't touch it!
I can't clean those prints!

- I'm gonna take care of it!
- I can't... I can't...

- No, that's not fixing it!
- Here, Glenn.

Here... here, look. He's gone.

He's gone. He's gone, Glenn, he's gone.

Apertus.

Glenn!

Problem solved.

He'll come out eventually.

Then we can disable the BCI

and turn him over to the police.

Seriously?

He... he can't go to prison,
not with his OCD.

He'll never survive.

You reap what you sow.

The guy who stole the BCI
is in the hospital ward.

That's great.

Isn't it?

Yeah, except he's gonna
either die in prison,

because of his disorder, or
he's gonna die in the Reverie,

because he knows better
than to come out.

So, get him out.

That's what you do.

But you're reluctant...

because of Oliver Hill?

Charlie told me what happened.

Okay.

Seriously, Paul, is Oliver right?

Am I... am I gonna go crazy?

Uh...

You shouldn't be seeing this...

privacy of health records and all.

This is baseline neuro data

on Alexis, myself, and you.

All normal.

This is us in 2.0.

Expected variation.

Still normal.

This is abnormal.

This is Oliver Hill:

his baseline before
he even went into Reverie.

And this...

this is him in 2.0.

Oliver was unstable
long before he got a BCI.

And he's wrong.

He hasn't spent more time in
the program than anyone else.

Since he left, Alexis and I have
spent much more time in there,

and we're not insane.

Are we?

Don't get me wrong...

2.0 can be, uh, a profound experience.

If you have issues, it can find them.

It did for me.

But if finds them.

It doesn't create them.

I wanna believe you. I...

You know what?

I'm just...

I'm just gonna keep doing my work.

Right?

Because it's good to focus on
other people's problems.

It just helps you forget about
all your own crap and the...

- What?
- That's it.

That's what Glenn is doing.

You're welcome.

Hello, Glenn.

You're not robbing MRL for yourself.

You want something for Quincy.

What's wrong with him?

Idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis.

Doctor speak for "your lungs suck."

We don't know why.

And MRL has a treatment?

Yes, it's in clinical trials.

They give it out in a lottery.

Quincy didn't get picked.

So because they didn't
draw his name out of a hat,

or whatever, they're gonna
let the nine-year-old die.

So you're gonna steal him a miracle?

I want to...

But I can't make it
past the parking lot.

I've spent six weeks
hacking into cameras,

replicating their layout.

I have their entire
security system logistics.

I can do all of that,
but I can't go outside.

Then Glenn, it's time to leave.

All I have is a window.

My world is six feet across,

six feet high.

She moved in after her husband left.

I watched them every day.

I watched him learn how to walk,

go to his first baseball game,

his first day of school.

And I watched them, uh,

come home from the doctor.

I've watched him get sicker.

And I've watched her fight.

She will never stop
fighting for her son.

I've watched their lives,

and they've become a part of my life.

They're the best part of my life.

So I will not...

I will not...

just watch him die.

Maybe you don't have to.

Glenn Maybach's agreed
to leave the Reverie.

He'll let us take out the BCI

and cooperate with us
in any way that we ask.

There's just, uh, one condition.

What's that?

We have to help him rob somebody.

Come.

I hear you found the BCI thief.

And the person who bought it.

So, why are we talking?

Not that I don't enjoy
your company, Charlie,

but... we're both busy people.

Turns out the buyer knows
a lot about Dark Reverie.

There's multiple sites on 4chan

that we can shut down with his help.

Well, you wanna make a deal
with him, be my guest.

It's a little more
complicated than that.

Mara wants us to do something for him,

and we'll need your help.

Do something for someone
making illicit Reveries?

She makes a pretty compelling case.

Here's how it goes: You pick
me up at 5:30 in the morning.

Why 5:30?

It's still dark.
I can make it to the car.

- Once the sun's up, forget it.
- Okay.

You drive to the garage
above the MRL building,

and then wait for me outside.

I take the stairs down
to the East Corridor.

That's this one.

I disabled the cameras in here,

so I don't have to
worry about being seen.

That door leads to the warehouse.

It's locked,
but whenever someone opens it,

- it stays unlocked for ten seconds.
- Ten, nine, eight...

- Ten seconds to get from here to there.
- ...seven, six...

- Okay, what's so hard about that?
- ...five, four...

Blue.

Three, two, one.

Okay.

Watch this.

The corridor brings me here.

The drugs are kept in

that temperature-controlled room there,

accessed by key card only.

- Which the guard has...
- On her jacket.

There's no AC, so she takes it off

and hangs it on the back of her chair.

People come and go
through here all the time,

and I got a company shirt,

so I don't think anyone will notice me.

Get to the desk...

and get the key card.

Once I got the key card,

I can get into the locker
and get the medicine.

There's a second door out of the locker

into the parking lot.

I just have to...

walk across that, and it's done.

But I can't do that.

Okay.

That's just your brain
trying to protect you,

but... your brain isn't right.

You have to override it.

Um...

Use this.

Roll it in-between your fingers.

When you're outside,
you're feeling the sunlight,

you're feeling the wind,
distract your brain.

Focus on that.

Yeah? Okay.

You got it.

Good... no, just focus on the dice.

Look at the dice.

Good.

Good job.

Nice.

You got this.

No, no, no, no! No.

Glenn...

It's just... it's too much.

When you're out there...

Don't think about what you're doing...

Think about Quincy.

Oliver...

Charlie.

It's good to see you.

How you doing?

Your, uh, angry ex-wife?

Your alienated daughter?

Your loving family?

Don't try to make me angry.

Remember what happened last time.

What are you doing here?

You harassed Mara Kint.

I saved her...

and tried to warn her about
your precious program.

You knew I'd find out.

Far as I'm concerned,

you were just asking for attention.

So I'm here.

What do you want?

I want in.

- I want my company back...
- It was never your company.

I helped start it.

And you were well-compensated
for your time and labor.

Why are you erasing me?

Alexis acts like I don't exist.

That Kint woman had never
even heard of me.

There are reasons

your picture's not on
the brochures anymore.

You know what they are.

I made mistakes.

I know it and I accept it.

This program, it...

Messed me up.

But now I know how to fix it,

- so if you'll just let me...
- Not gonna happen.

Give me another BCI.
Give me access to the Reverie.

I can help you stop
this massive disaster

- that you're not even...
- Oliver.

There is no world

where you come back
to work at Onira-Tech.

Do you understand?

Have you been taking care of yourself?

Don't do that.

Have you been taking your medication...

Don't do that!

Take your meds.

Stay away from Alexis...

and Mara...

and me.

I won't tell you again.

- Are you sure about this?
- Yeah.

Okay.

How are you?

Scared. Sick.

That's okay. Even hardened criminals

get scared before a job.

You're lying.

Thank you so much.

Here.

So we can hear each other.

You got this, Glenn.

Okay, where are you?

Blue hallway. No one's coming.

Okay, be patient.

Just breathe.

Door's unlocked.

Time to hop.

Hold up...

Glenn, what's happening?

Forgot my pen.

- Glenn?
- I'm good.

Good. Come on, Glenn. Come on.

You can do it.

One...

two...

Good.

Good. You got this.

Oh, come on.

No.

No, no, no, no, no. No.

Quincy?

Quincy...

That's right.

Quincy.

Okay, let's do this together.

Now, we're just gonna take a step.

We're just gonna take a step.

- I did it.
- You did.

Congratulations.

What's going on?

Did you really think we were
gonna help you commit a felony?

I-I don't understand.

Hi, Glenn. I'm Monica Shaw.

I...

This is the CEO of MRL,
Richard Brewster.

Pleasure.

- Hi?
- Glenn, would you be so kind

as to give Mr. Brewster his drugs back?

When I approached Mr. Brewster

and told him we were using Reverie

to test and find weaknesses
with security systems,

he didn't quite understand, so...

I offered him a demonstration.

It wasn't easy watching you bypass

every one of our security measures.

You practice this in a VR space?

He built your whole facility.

I have to say, I'm as terrified
as I am impressed.

But now you know
where to make improvements.

Most certainly.

I offered to pay Ms. Shaw
for this service,

but she said there was
a better way to reward you.

I don't understand.

They're giving Quincy
a spot in the trial.

They took him.
They're giving him the medicine.

How?

I mean, it... well,
it's a long story, but...

basically, they just wanted to help.

We all did.

Glenn...

That's amazing.

Can you w... wait here?
I-I wanna go tell Quincy.

Let's, uh...

let's just go tell him together.

Sure.

I-I mean...

Of course.

- Are you Alex?
- Sure am.

You really meant what you said? $20,000?

Sure did.

You know you can get a BCI
for practically nothing?

No, I can't.

It's gonna take some time.

Security's pretty tight right now.

That's why I'm talking
to you, a security guard.

30,000.

What do you want a BCI for?

Same as everyone else.

Live out my fantasies...

Get the girl that got away.

Hey.

I heard Glenn gave you some info

on the Dark Reverie sites.

That's a big win.

Yeah, Charlie seems to think so.

Charlie's... always right.

The first time I met Oliver,

he talked about how the brain
was a time machine.

It could remember the past,

be present in the moment,
and imagine the future.

I told him my idea for Reverie,

how it could turn the brain
into a teleportation device.

Between the both of you,

that pretty much covers
time and space, huh?

We fit...

and really almost from the start.

You were in love.

He was unstable...

but he was so brilliant...

and funny.

And it felt like he accepted me...

completely.

I hadn't felt that way since...

In a very long time.

Then his paranoia got worse...

and his mood swings.

We were working on 2.0 by then,

and he blamed his problems

on the program.

We had a huge fight about it.

Then, that night, he tried
to set my house on fire

with some gasoline
and that Zippo lighter of his.

Did you have him arrested?

No.

Charlie talked to him, fired him,

disabled his BCI,
and got the restraining order,

and paid him enough money to go away...

At least for a while.

Alexis, I understand why
you wanna keep this a secret,

but... you didn't do anything wrong.

He was my partner

and the biggest mistake of my life.

I won't give it to them.

I know it's weird, but I'd appreciate it

if from now on, we could
act like it never happened.

Like what never happened?
