[splashes]

- Having fun, sweetie?
- Yeah.

[♪♪♪♪♪]

JADE: At the time,
it seemed like our story was predictable,

calm... safe.

And here
at Paragon Council Industries,

as the worldwide leader
in biomedical sciences,

we are proudly developing
a sustainable treatment regimen

that's been producing
incredible results.

Combating debilitating fear
in individuals.

You all being here
means a lot to us.

We are aware of how much
of a commitment this will be.

However, please know that
I'm equally committed to you

and your treatment.

This place
is the ideal environment for us

to take a very deep dive
into your conditions.

You're in good hands.

I think you will all be pleased
with the results.

You sound very certain
of yourself.

VIVIAN:
I am.

Let's for a moment
try to imagine a scenario

where you no longer
have to suffer.

That is the beautiful reality
I'd like to expose you all to.

And I look forward to getting
to know each of you

- over the coming weeks.
- Well, wonderful.

If you'd all kindly follow me.

Let's take a tour.

Welcome to PCI.

[thudding]

Don't even ask.

I wasn't goin' to.

Good, because you know
what the answer would be, Bob.

We're not meeting on dry land,

because I don't wanna be
in the company of those

who seek solid ground
beneath them.

I know.

Good. They're beneath me.

So what's up?

How's everything in my company,
Bob?

Everything's okay.

New batch starting today?

Yes.

What?

The new guy, Meredith hired.

I don't know.

You don't know what, Bob?

I heard him rehearsing
his lines.

It... it's not good.

[chuckles]
Oh, rehearsing his lines.

Well, Meredith hired him.

He has no tact.

She's your right hand.

I don't know
what to tell you, Bob.

This guy...

I don't wanna hear this,
tell it to her.

Okay. Full report.

Two males, two females,
as requested.

Uh, cleared 100%.

They're at their orientation
as we speak.

Excellent.

And they met all
the requirements?

They all have extreme cases
of thanataphobia.

Let's hope the rest
of the world does, too.

Cheers to job security.

[chuckles]

[♪♪♪♪♪]

What was the name
of your childhood pet?

Spork.

[♪♪♪♪♪]

I don't make the rules.

Next!

[♪♪♪♪♪]

Yeah, I'm just concerned.

Good.

Look, Vivian's right there
with him.

She's solid.

Careful.

So you've all had an opportunity
to see our operation

and meet with key staff and...

OLDER FEMALE PATIENT:
May I ask?

The nametags.

You said you wanted to get
to know us,

but I don't see
how calling us by...

I realize that this seems
a bit unorthodox,

but it is all with intent.

There is a reason for everything
that we do here.

Your conditions are extreme.

And thus, to a degree,

our treatment methods
follow suit.

Now, there are a few other,
perhaps, unnerving elements

of your stay here.

Until further notice,
you all will be wearing

specially-fitted suits.

They will cover you from
head to toe

and will be worn at all times.

They are tamper-resistant,
only we can remove them,

and we will do so at
the appropriate time.

How are... how are we supposed
to take a shower or a...

Uh, here you are about to enter

is one of the cleanest
environments in the world.

Um, I don't consider
that an answer.

What about, when we gotta go?

Any and all procedures
will be explained.

[chuckles]

I should have asked you
to record it for me.

I feel like I'm missin' out.

Yeah.

I told you
when I came up with it, right?

Yeah.

I'm sittin' there on the throne,
just pops in my head.

Sittin' there laughing
hysterically, Bob.

Had to be for ten minutes.
I'm laughin' my ass off.

I'm glad this is all so amusing.

[chuckles]
Well, it is.

I'm the one
that's gonna watch it.

De-familiarization stage, Bob.

[chuckles]

It's so funny to me.

Stupid, but fun.

One more item I'd like to share.

There will be
no reflective surfaces

anywhere in the environment.

Until further notice,

you will no longer be able
to see yourselves.

Without going into detail,

a separation
from your familiar selves,

at this crucial time,
plays a vital role

in your therapy.

This is called
the "de-familiarization stage".

It is important to remember
that all of this,

everything that we do
is for your benefit.

[chuckles] It's been a
long day for all of us.

Get some rest.

We have a lot
of amazing work to do.

[♪♪♪♪♪]

JADE: My parents met the
Lloyd's on vacation one year.

I'm glad they did

because Olivia
came into my life.

Hey, Jade, come on in.

- Hi! Hi!
- Jadey, I missed you!

Hey, your school break
couldn't come at a better time.

My God, I got so much goin' on
at my office.

- Wow!
- [Jade chuckles]

And you know,
how busy uh, Meredith is.

It's just crazy.

We're gonna have lots of fun,
bugger!

Yeah.

[chuckles] Cool.
Well, look, I know it's late.

I am going to get ready
and head to my office.

Try to get some work done
while it's quiet.

- You good?
- Yeah, I'm here.

Good. The guestroom's all set.

Uh, we got you a flatter pillow.

[chuckles] Thank you, Mr. Lloyd,
and thank you, dear Olivia.

Hey, and I you know,

I don't know when Meredith
will be home.

What can I say,
you are a lifesaver.

- Give me a hug.
- Hmm.

- JADE: Goodnight, Mr. Lloyd.
- All right.

And I won't let her stay up
too late.

Don't worry.

[♪♪♪♪♪]

Hey, why're you here?

It's late, my friend.

Look at this list.

All of them. Gone.

You're acting like
I didn't tell you a month ago

this would happen.

- How is this not...
- Brady, relax.

I got something
I wanna show you.

Is that what I think it is?

But first, Brady, may I say
that your daughter is a gem.

Come on.

Olivia just adores her.

All kidding aside,
you've done a wonderful job

raising her all these years
yourself.

It's almost done.

Whatever happens here,
we'll be fine.

Wait.

Hidden in plain sight.

Brilliant.

But Myles,
you know how things are.

Since, I mean,
artificial intelligence,

it brought the world
to the brink.

It's harmless.
They'll allow it.

This is our ace in the hole.

[♪♪♪♪♪]

Okay, time to get ready
for school.

People, the time is now,
and you all know it.

- Meredith.
- Bob.

Everything is a go.

There are people downstairs
right now.

They are living proof.

We've been at this same point
for what,

two months now?

We've done it.

We cracked the code.

We found a cure
for death itself.

Revolutionary doesn't even
begin to describe it.

All we need now is for the vote
to be ratified by us.

By you.

All of you extremely important
individuals here in this room.

Today your board actually voted?

You're playing God.

You wanna talk about
playing God?

Your game, your kids' game.

You're solely responsible
for putting

every kids TV network,

the entire industry,
out of business.

No.

It doesn't compare.

What I'm doing
is simple progress.

And so am I.

You can't be serious.

Meredith,
hasn't PCI caused enough pain?

This time around,
everything's just gonna go

exactly as planned?

You're gonna make people
live forever?

Come on.

[♪♪♪♪♪]

So... how did Meredith
do this morning?

Good, they're voting in favor
of the next round of trials.

I put up a good front.

Made us seem reluctant.

I... I... I think you would have
been impressed.

I am impressed, Bob.

Not that I'm not actually
concerned about things,

of course.

That's what I pay you for.

What else?

We took off the suits.

They saw their gray skin.

Well, it's for the best.

Why keep them in the dark
any longer than we need to?

[♪♪♪♪♪]

Soon.

I've been hearing that
for months!

This wasn't part of the deal.

I wanna get out of here!

I hear you loud and clear.

We're just asking
for a little more patience.

A little while longer
and you get to go home.

And don't forget about
the compensation.

It is a lot of money,

and we all do really
appreciate that.

But what about this?

We're working on that.

I'm goin' to the office.

Of course, you are.

The thing is uh,

because we've kept them here
longer than we said,

they're starting
to get restless.

[chuckles]
Oh, are they now?

They're anxious to leave.

Bob, do me a favor,
and grab your phone.

How many subjects,

since day one, Bob,
how many have we paid?

Uh, uh, uh, I don't know.

Yes, you do, Bob.

You know precisely how many.

Including this batch
of four uh, 41.

Okay.

Let's do some simple math here.

What would you say
is the average amount of money

we paid each subject?

The average.

Probably around a million.

[laughs]

Bobby, Bobby, Bobby.

Let me help with this one.

The average negotiated price,
the going rate,

has been 1.2 million.

1.2.

So multiply 41 times
1.2 million.

What you get, Bob?

49,200,000.

Okay, good.
Now, divide that by four.

12, 300,000.

[chuckles]
Good, good.

Okay, so here's the deal.

Because I have received
zero return

on my investment so far,

I'm into these current
four subjects

for $12,300,000 each,

Bob.

Each!

Do you really think I care
if they're getting restless?

COMPUTER VOICE:
Input object.

You lied!

We've been over this, yes?

But that's so wrong.

You had no right.

You signed the papers.

Oh, but that was more
of a textbook.

You... you cannot have
expected us

to have read all that.

[chuckles]
That's exactly what we expected.

You're cured of your fear now,
aren't you?

Well, obviously.

But I know what you were doing.

The nametags, and the suits,

and... and not bein' able
to see ourselves,

that wasn't part
of any fear therapy.

That was just a big distraction.

When you came here,

you were at complete odds
with yourself, remember?

The fear of death paralyzed you.

You don't feel that way now.

All you're feeling now is anger,
and maybe a bit of betrayal.

Those are two emotions
that dissipate,

clinically proven.

And don't underestimate

the importance
of your role here.

You and the others
will be revered.

Is that all?

[♪♪♪♪♪]

- Boo!
- Oh!

What are you doin' up?

You need to get back to bed,
monster.

- Raar!

JADE:
I call Olivia "a bugger",

because,
she just loves ladybugs.

Whenever she plays her game,

the story always
has to be about ladybugs.

[game music plays]

Hi! I'm Polly.

What's our story gonna be
about today?

[♪♪♪♪♪]

[game music plays]

- Hello.
- Hello.

[Olivia shouts]

[♪♪♪♪♪]

COMPUTER VOICE:

Where's Polly?

Make it about a ladybug.

JADE:
Olivia was so frightened.

I needed to know why.

[♪♪♪♪♪]

Start.

Start.

Broadcast.

Power.

It stands for

"principles of the wondrous
eternal reward".

These gray aristocrat statues
in their interminable bliss,

all fawning over their fashion
and indulgence,

while those
who chose differently,

ephemerals...
are left in the streets.

JADE:
This wasn't the kids' game.

This console was different.

BROADCASTER: I remember the day the
world was introduced to all of this.

It was at Townsend's General.

There was a crowd of people
fixated on the TV screens

in the storefront window.

What's this?

What are they sellin' now?

BROADCASTER: Paragon
Council Industries claim

was that their new drug INOC

would make us live forever.

[game music plays]

CHARLOTTE:
So, how's Amber?

She saw her brother like this
and flipped out.

Oh, she'll be fine.

So don't overreact.

My transmogrify only took me
four days.

I mentioned that, didn't I?

Can you believe it?

How lucky was I?

You know, it takes time,

but once he gets through it...

Oh, let's have tea!

Charlotte.

I know I sound like
a broken record, but...

Here it comes.

Well?

I know, I just...
I'm contemplating, that's all.

That's all?

What is there to think about?

It's amazing!

What we have now, this gift,

it's wonderful!

Oh, you.

Sweetie, your name
is on the list.

They'll call you soon,
you'll go down,

you'll get your INOC.

It's a little shot,
in and out.

I just... I...

I don't know what I want,
I guess.

Charlotte, what more could
you want?

What?

You know, my mom never thought
this was a gift.

- It seems unnatural to me.
- Maybe.

Unnatural?

What is more natural
than being here

and happy with me, forever?

[Charlotte chuckles]

And what about that daughter
you said you always wanted?

I can still have a daughter.

I know, sure,

but she's just going to die
eventually

and what is the sense in that?

I mean... time was always
the problem.

There simply wasn't enough of it

to get the full experience,
that is.

And now?

You never run out of it.

JADE:
It was so surreal.

SHERMAN: Looks like you have
goodies for me today, Bob.

Yeah, there's a lot here.

The pre-launch.

Going well.

The uh, pharmacies
are already setting up

the health screenings.

Uh-huh. And these pharmacies...

Legal has already vetted them
thoroughly.

All signed off.

They know
they'll lose their bonus.

We're only working
with pharmacies

that are struggling financially,

just like you said to,
so I'm sure they'll...

The power of money, Bob.

[cell phone ringing]

Yeah.

[game music plays]

MAN IN WHEELCHAIR'S ASSISTANT: He
wants to know if you're on the list.

I am, but I'm not waiting.

I've been on the list too long.

Can you do it?

[♪♪♪♪♪]

[indistinct laugh]

JADE:
Olivia.

Your game.

What did you do to make
that story?

I didn't do anything.

- Olivia.
- What?

I didn't do anything.

It's just not fun anymore.

I don't wanna play it anymore.

Well, you know what, bugger?

I don't feel like making
lunch anymore,

how about that?

Feel like going out?

- What?
- Um...

I'm on my way out.

What?

- They...
- They?

They said it isn't feasible.

It is in fact, impossible,
as they see it.

We can figure out
how to live forever,

but we can't figure out
how to not have gray skin?

What is it?

The gray.

Look, I could figure
this shit out,

but I'm not gonna do it,
I'm not goin' back in the lab.

Did you know...

after you cook a lobster,
if the meat is so gray,

that means it's been dead
too long?

No, I didn't.

- You gotta read more books, Bob.
- [chuckles]

Well, I don't really
have the time.

Let me think about this.

Let me think about this.

Let me think.

I didn't know
you liked it that much.

You're not the only one
allowed to have fun.

My game isn't fun anymore.

Yeah.

Well, I'm gonna go upstairs
right now

and fix it for you, okay?

JADE: I told Olivia that
I would fix her game.

Truth is, I just hooked
the new game up in her room

and I took hers.

This way, she could
play her game and...

And I could
keep watching the story.

[game music plays]

POLLY ON TV:
Hi, I'm Polly.

What's our story gonna
be about today?

Olivia!

[game music plays]

[thunder rumbling in distance]

- Did you talk to Amber?
- No.

[♪♪♪♪♪]

They'll pick us up
off the ground one day, too.

Okay, Ro, don't get yourself
all worked up.

[chuckles]
You're stupid.

[chuckles]
You're crazy.

Yeah, that's like it.

Gentlemen, please, careful.

Right on the gurney
if you would please.

[♪♪♪♪♪]

I'm gonna make you
look regal.

Here we are.
This will do just fine.

You are a dignified gentleman
and you will look as such.

Fine gentleman,
I will be right with you.

[♪♪♪♪♪]

[rain puttering]

Please stop!

- What are you doing?
- We need to dig up our boy.

- What?
- We need to bring him back!

Forgive me, what do you...

Wait, I know you folks.

I know you both!

I provided the service
for your son some time ago.

I'm... I'm sorry,
but what are you doing?

We ca... they...
they can bring him back.

I would help you dig

if I thought it would help you
bring your son back.

We miss him so much!

I know you do.

Why don't you come back
with me, dry off,

and maybe have a drink
or something, okay?

They wanted forever
with their son,

but now they'll never have that.

You see, my friend...

I believe they would have,

had they simply lived
their lives

and died naturally.

Like you.

Now reunited
with your loved ones.

Forever requires faith.

I've seen you before.

You get your papers
out of the dumpster.

[grunts] The whole world
is fallin' apart.

PASSERBY LADY:
That's for you.

Thanks.

PASSERBY LADY:
You poor thing.

It's so sad.

They give me the creeps.

JADE:
The story went everywhere,

all because of a few dolls
and Meredith's brochure.

Hello.

Yes?

See anything that tickles
your fancy?

Anything but these.

These are mine.

Yes?

Ah!

[loud clanking]

- Mom?
- Charlotte.

[chuckles]

Sweetie... you can't.

What?

Accept what they call
their gift.

I miss you, mom.

[machine beeping]

There's my sunshine.

Mmm, warm.

Helps my brittle bones.

What do I do?

When you make promises,
you're going to keep them.

That's everything.

Mom.

My pretty girl.

[Jade sniffles]

I love you so much.

MEREDITH'S ASSISTANT: So,
when you're making these calls,

it is very important
that you sound convincing.

No need to set off any alarms.

Just tell them that you know,
your treatment is going well,

and that your trial's
been extended, and uh...

and that uh, you'll be in touch
with them soon.

OLDER MALE PATIENT:
What if they get suspicious?

I know my family's worried.

I wanna say this

in the most sensitive
and delicate way possible.

PCI cannot afford a scandal
or even a hint of impropriety.

It simply will not do.

It's in everyone's
best interests

to keep your loved ones at bay
at this time.

Whoa.

That sounds like a threat.

What can you do to me?

You told me I can't die.

There's nothing
that we can do to you.

It's your loved ones
you should all be thinking of

at this time.

[chuckles]

What do you say
we make those calls?

Hi kids, how're we doin'?

You need to stop
pickin' up strangers.

Hello.

What's your name, young man?

I'm Dr. Calvin.

Would you like to come in?

It's okay.

[♪♪♪♪♪]

My name's Daniel.

Okay, Daniel.

So, when did you get inoculated?

They just stuck me here.

Did you get inoculated
at a clinic?

An actual INOC clinic?

DANIEL:
Ladies.

Hmm.

Okay, Daniel,
try to stay with me, okay?

Lovely,
lovely lady dragonflies,

and they float around my head,

and they're all naked,
and none of them have heads.

So, I still hear them talk...

even though
they don't have mouths.

Okay, so Daniel, I can deduce

that you didn't actually
get your INOC

from a certified clinic.

And you're certainly not
in the reticent state.

Daniel, that's bad.

[Daniel laughs]

[Daniel cries]

Daniel, listen to me now.

I think that I can help you.

I'm a doctor.

I mean, I... I was a doctor

before they closed
the hospitals down.

But I would like
to try to help you, Daniel.

JADE: This drug that
Meredith's company is making...

is this what it's going
to do to us?

Change everything?

It made me think.

Hi, honey.

How was your day?

It was great.

I served old men coffee all day

while they made their usual
disgusting comments.

Honey, I told you,
I'm gonna go down there

and put an end to all of that!

Oh, that's a great idea, dad.

Go down there
and make a fool out of yourself.

Get me fired.

Then who the hell
is gonna take care of us then?

Take care of you?

Honey, come on.

When mum went away,
you had tons of money.

Honey, I'm tryin'.

You're trying?

You really wanna try, dad?

Then try telling me
what happened to mum.

Why she ended up
in that hospital?

Not that again.

Yes, this again.

Honey.

Just another secret, right?

CLOAKED ORATOR: It is a gift,
and by our divine clarity,

we praise its nobility.

Inherent,
with unwavering commitment,

vos shall see in all the beauty
of the infinite,

for our neoteric dawn

will triumphantly continue
within us.

Keep its glory
as we reside here forever.

Be virtuous
through endless days.

Gather faithfully
and committed to power.

[♪♪♪♪♪]

Jade, when I got home,
I went to my office

and I noticed
that my console was missing.

I can't believe
you would take this

without my permission.

No, Mr. Lloyd, I...

I didn't, honest.

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

I... I have no idea
how that happened.

Olivia told me that...
that her game was acting all...

Did Olivia play this game?

Did she see any of this?

No, I took it from her
when I... when I saw...

Tell me she didn't see
what I just watched.

No, I took it
from her right away

and then I bought her
a new one at the store.

Okay.

Okay.

It wasn't enough
to progress mankind.

No.

We had to reinvent it.

What arrogance to think
we had the right.

Before all of this,
anyone would admit

that we were holding on
by a thread...

but at least we were holding on.

Holding onto hope.

To be decent.

To be better...

but this abomination
took away that hope,

and it took all the things
that made us human...

away forever.

You need to show this to Bob!

You're absolutely insane.

I'm not showing my boss
some stupid kids' game...

This is not a kids' game.

So that he can pull the plug
on my project.

This is not a kids' game
that I'm talking about,

Meredith. This... this is.

Right.

An AI something or other.

Meredith, you know what I do.

This other version
that I created, it's limitless.

It has...
It has infinite intelligence.

So what you're telling me
is you brought

a highly illegal piece
of technology

into our home,

- with our daughter here.
- Meredith.

Something we could be
arrested for, or worse.

You don't understand.
You don't understand.

The console knows everything.

[chuckles]
Really?

Maybe it knows
where you went wrong with us.

Meredith, just watch it.

You'll see!

If you do
what you're plannin' on doin',

it... it will destroy everything.

[chuckles]
Please, Myles.

I'll bring it to your board
myself, tomorrow.

That's not a game
you wanna play, Myles.

You shouldn't have even
let me know

you were playing it.

[♪♪♪♪♪]

[sighs]

OLIVIA:
Daddy!

Wait in the car.

- Meredith turned me in.
- JADE: What... what's going on?

- Meredith turned me in.
- What do you mean?

Look, they're...
they're coming for me.

- Who?
- Look, just... just listen.

Just take this, okay?

- They're coming for me.
- Who?

Look, I need you
to take my daughter.

Just take my daughter.

Take her far away from here
and keep her safe.

Keep her away from Meredith!

Away!

I can't trust anybody.

If they ask you,
tell you that I...

tell them that I told you to...

I gave you permission to...
to go on a trip with her.

And uh, just keep Olivia away
from Meredith.

- Away, you hear me?
- Yeah, okay.

And take care of her.

Promise me that you'll do that.

I promise.

I promise!

[♪♪♪♪♪]

JADE:
I couldn't believe it.

It was actually happening.

NEWS ANCHOR ON TV:
[indistinct speech]

...encrypted code
for his modified game console.

It has been determined
that the learning algorithms

are leagues ahead
of even what the government

has ever seen.

The fear is that technology
this advanced,

if in the wrong hands,
could be catastrophic.

After a month,
Myles Lloyd still awaits trial.

Additionally, there has been
no new information

regarding Lloyd's daughter,
Olivia,

who has been missing
since the day of the raid.

The A.I.D.A continues
to urge the public

to contact local authorities
immediately

with any information
on her possible whereabouts.

[♪♪♪♪♪]

[♪♪♪♪♪]

INVESTIGATOR'S ASSISTANT:
Get another lead.

BROADCASTER:
Time.

It's a novel concept, I know,
but I still keep track of it.

It's been over two decades
that I've been living down here,

isolated from the madness
up top.

That's an unrecognizable
place now.

While the infinites enjoy
their timeless days in grandeur,

there are three sets
of ephemerals

enduring this new world.

Those who are on the list,

desperately waiting
for their names to be called,

those who are deemed too sick
to receive their glorious gift,

and those who think
it's all an atrocity.

Those are the ones
who end up abandoned.

[pigeons hooting]

We found her here last night.

[♪♪♪♪♪]

This is so sad.

So, you're telling me,
that Meredith's daughter

is literally on the run
with the daughter

of one of the past subjects?

This may hinder
Meredith's performance,

right when we need her the most.

We should go now, Sarah.

Come back for her.

[sighs]

Perhaps no one will show,
but someone may.

We always have hope.

Right to the end.

[doorbell rings]

Do excuse me for one minute,
please sir.

Sarah, what is it?

Amber.

Sherman, we need to talk
about the gray skin.

I got it all figured out.

You do?

Yes, I do, Bob.

Okay.

We'll all have
the same color skin.

So now, I'm gifting the world

with more than
just longevity, Bob.

Think about it.

- Sherman, that's...
- I know it is.

So what?
We... we just run with it?

That's why you're the face
of the company, Bob

and I'm the brains.

Yes, we just run with it!

Sherman.

It's the water, Bob!

The water!

The reason
I can think so clearly

is all the time
I spend on the water.

[birds chirping in distance]

[vehicle whirring in distance]

[♪♪♪♪♪]

DR. CALVIN:
Her name was Amber.

She was a sweet young lady.

The kids brought her to me, too.

[chuckles]
Those kids.

They found her crying
on a park bench.

She said her parents
threw her out of the house

because she wouldn't take INOC.

She knew she couldn't do it.

The minute she saw her
older brother

after his visit to the clinic,

sittin' there in this bedroom,
just starin' out into space...

the whole thing just scared her.

There she is.

ECCENTRIC OLD LADY: Just... just seat
yourselves right there at the table, boys.

Uh, there.

Just make yourselves
right at home.

Thank you, ma'am.
We're from...

Oh, I...
I know where you're from.

Finally. I... I've been waiting.

Oh. I'm sorry.

I... I... I... I'm just...
I'm so excited.

Uh...

And here you are.

[chuckles]

Well, thank you for the...

No, thank you. Thank you.

So, we've come a long way
to talk to you.

Oh, wait, biscuits.

I insist.

They're from scratch.

They're from scratch.

One minute.

Hey!

Join in on the fun.

Oh yes,
we are going to have some fun.

Boys, um, do you think
that I should change?

Ma'am?

Um, well, this is just such
a special occasion.

If I had known...

I would have done my hair.

If we can get started.

Could you tell us
exactly where you were.

INVESTIGATOR'S ASSISTANT:
And also when.

It was clearly daytime
but an approximate time of day

would be very helpful.

Uh, boys,

I would like to play
for you my favorite song,

because this is such
a special occasion.

Wait.

There.

[♪♪♪♪♪]

Ma'am, your... your music.

Isn't it glorious?

INVESTIGATOR: Can we kindly see
the image on your cell phone?

The print came on a bit grainy.

Yeah, it... it would help
if we could just see...

Tho... those things?

Boys, I tell everyone
if you want to talk to me,

you know where I live.

We would like to see it anyway.

Oh, I do have a spring dress.

I do.

It... it's... it's got polka dots.

It's pink and black.

Ma'am,
we're here about the girl.

Girl?

The Lloyd girl.

The missing girl.

You sent the pictures
from your cell phone.

I told you
I don't have a cell phone.

You know, boys,
I... I'm... I'm ready to go now.

Ma'am, I'm sorry,
there's some confusion.

No! I am not too old!

And I'm not sick!

Boys, you came here,

you came here to take me
to the clinic...

Ma'am, ma'am.

We're not here for that.

We're here to find the girl.

I am the girl.

I'm the one!

I'm the one
that you're looking for!

The healthy girl!

You'll see.

They... when...
when they see me at the clinic,

they will know
I am the healthy one.

They will accept me.

Oh, they will definitely
accept me.

When they see... when they see
how able I am...

When they see how able I am,
they will...

they will accept me.

I'm... I am healthy.

Watch.

See, I can do jumping jacks!
I can do jumping jacks!

Ma'am, I'm sorry. We should...

Look, I can... I can dance, too!

Watch.

Um, I can dance.

I can dance. I can dance.

This was a mistake.

- I can dance!
- So very sorry.

Oh, please, I can dance!
I can...

oh, I can do jumping jacks.

Watch.

[pants]

Have a good day, ma'am.

Oh, I can do dance.

I can dance.

I can dance!

Look, Jadey.

JADE:
Cool!

I like it here. I wanna stay.

Yeah, I like it, too, bugger.

Then can we stay?

I don't wanna keep going
to new places all the time.

You really wanna stay?

Definitely. I love it here.

Tell you what, we'll stay
as long as we can, okay?

Yes.

You want to say somethin'?
Say it.

Why haven't you taken it?

Hmm.

[chuckles]

BOB:
You see that it works.

Their DNA
is regenerating perfectly.

I will soon.

I just have to wrap up
my affairs

and then I'll be takin' it.

Why would you need to do that?

Well, Bob...
what if after I take it...

things are different?

Not following.

You are followin', Bob,
you always follow.

You're just not listenin'.

What are they now Bob,
the four subjects?

We know they were people
who knew they're going to die.

Now they believe they won't.

Will they?

Does it work?

How do I know?

You said it would.

You're askin' me, Bob,
and I'm really moved.

But you're asking me
if I'm so brilliant,

I can create a new genus,
Bob.

At least I believe that's what
you're asking me, right?

Of course not.

But that is
what you're askin' me, Bob!

Gender, male.

Average lifespan, 79 years.

Gender, female,
average lifespan, 82 years.

That's what I'm up against, Bob!

But you hold me
in such high regard.

It's kind of embarrassing.

The data says it works.

The data.

The analysis has been spot on.

Yeah, so what?

So, it works.

Look around, Bob!

I can't guarantee a win here!

She's a tough opponent,
the bitch mother nature.

So, we launch INOC,
knowing it might not work?

[chuckles] Sometimes,
Bob, the things you say.

What are we doing here?

It's just another promise!

What?

Bob, everything for sale
is a promise.

And it's so easy
to embrace a promise.

It's a promise.

They're so fucking cute.

[chuckles]

Promise me
you won't say anything.

Promise. Promise me, promise me.

A promise isn't good enough
on this one, Bob.

We need to sell hope.

You with me?

Hope.

Do you know why?

No.

Because there's more money
in hope

than any other
intangible commodity on Earth.

Money?

[chuckles]
Oh, that's rich, Bob.

You know, my grandfather,
for years, told me

that lobsters lived forever.

He promised me that was true.

And as a kid, I believed that.

But let me ask you this,

even after I found out
that it wasn't true,

and my heart was broken truly,
and I knew it wasn't true,

what was I left with?

[mouth]
Hope.

Hope!

Sometimes,
that's the only thing

left behind
from a failed promise, Bobby.

That feeling of hope.

It never fades,
not even false hope.

[chuckles]

Don't ask me.

Sherman, if we don't even know
if it works...

[chuckles]
I never said it doesn't work!

It could!

But because you asked Bob,

we're makin' money,
that's what we're doin'.

You don't need any more money,
Sherman.

You have enough
to last a million lifetimes.

The irony in what you just said.

Sherman, at the very least,

you figured out a way
to slow down aging.

- I... I mean that's...
- That's what?

BOB: Why don't we just
pitch it that way?

So we don't get torn to pieces?

INOC is a drug
that regenerates DNA.

It prolongs life.

I've thought about that,
actually,

but it's not enough!

But if that's what it is, then...

We don't know what it is, Bob!

And you're forgetting
about choice.

What?

Hasn't it crossed your mind

that the world
would need to make a choice?

Every human being
will have to choose

between living forever...

[chuckles]
...and good old Mother Nature.

So curiosity?

That's your motivation?

Yes. It's everything, all of it.

Okay, the way I see it,
there are three likely outcomes.

First,
INOC prolongs their lives.

We told them it would make them
live forever,

but we came up a little short.

But they'll still line up
to get it.

Second,
INOC doesn't work at all,

makes people go insane
or something,

destroys humanity, whatever.

We're not too far from that now,
are we?

Third, INOC actually works.

We don't die.

Their DNA keeps regenerating.

I'm... well, at that point,
I would be what?

More than a messiah.

I don't know what to say.

Don't say anything.

Whatever will be will be, Bob.

The only difference is
how I pitch it

and I've decided to pitch it
like this.

The greatest invention
for mankind

and the greatest experiment
on mankind!

Not bad, huh?

and it's all because of me.

[♪♪♪♪♪]

DANIEL: They said I wasn't
gonna be around much longer.

I... I figured that was it,
Daniel.

DANIEL:
I'm not ready.

I know.

I know, Daniel.
I know you're not ready.

But no one really ever is.

But it can't be changed.

The world outside
is trying.

It won't work.

Every story...
has a beginning...

and an end.

You still up, bugger?

Yeah.

You okay?

I hope dad's okay.

[machine beeping]

I know what Meredith
did to my mother

and you let it happen.

All right, time to go to sleep.

It's me.

It is you.

It's so good to hear your voice.

What is it?
What do you need, honey?

For you to listen.

Okay.

I mean it.

Honey, what?

I know what happened to mom.

I know where you got
all that money.

I know everything.

Dad?

[sighs]

[♪♪♪♪♪]

JADE: Yeah,
we took a risk by going to town.

We just felt like getting
some ice cream.

I figured
who's gonna find us out here?

In the middle of nowhere.

I miss my dad.

What about mom?

Well, you know...

I promised your dad
that we would stick together

for a little bit...

and I made a promise
to someone else

about keeping promises.

So, bugger,
you're stuck with me.

[music playing in background]

But you did find us.

You mentioned this game.

The console
Olivia's father built.

That's how you...

That's how I know
Meredith killed my mother.

She can't hear us.

I'm sorry,
I sent you all those pictures.

The old lady and the cell phone,
how did you do that?

Well, I just went online
and I found there...

a random name and address
of someone

who lives far from here.

And then
I went to a cell phone store.

When the guy behind the counter
asked me for my ID,

I uh, I told him that I lost it
along with my phone,

and that's why
I really needed one.

I guess I flirted my way
out of that

and walked out of the store
with a new phone in her name,

and then I sent you the picture.

How did you know
I was looking for you?

I saw Meredith's post
about the reward

she was offering
for information on Olivia, and...

and... I saw
your contact information there.

Well, for the first time
in my career,

I won't be delivering
for a client.

Mrs. Lloyd.

No, used to be.

Recently divorced.

So, tell me you found them.

No, sorry.

I scoured the entire town.

Showed the pictures to anyone

who would give me
the time of day.

Went to the local
police station, everywhere,

and it's a small town,
not a thing.

Maybe the information
you received was flawed.

It happens.

Maybe.

I expect you'll keep looking.

Of course.

So, there is another matter

I need to discuss with you
however.

Okay.

It has to do
with unauthorized human trials

resulting in death,
or some might say murder.

We are back again,

outside the now vacant
Lloyd residence.

Today, marks one year
since the raid on this property

and the ongoing saga continues.

As has been highly publicized,
Myles Lloyd has been without...

Um, has been sentenced
to life in prison

without the possibility
of parole,

while Lloyd's daughter Olivia
is still yet to be found.

However, the story
has now centered around

Meredith Lloyd.

Authorities have confirmed
that four individuals

were discovered at PCI

and reportedly have been held
there against their will.

Each of these
four individuals claim

that they were
initially recruited

to be part
of a clinical study

pertaining to a medication
that was supposed to help them

with their phobias.

They've all stated
that instead

they were given a drug
called "INOC".

A drug that they were told
would make them live forever.

Make them live forever.

Forever.

Well, that sounds absurd.

Multiple sources
speculate that

the upcoming release
of this drug is in fact,

the catalyst
behind the vast number

of pharmacies providing
free health screenings.

Authorities
have determined that

Meredith Lloyd,

without knowledge of
or approval from PCI,

has in fact performed
unauthorized human...

and is seemingly responsible

for countless number
of deaths.

Clearly, this story
isn't going away anytime soon

and of course,
we'll be right here

to bring you the latest.

This family.

Uh, yeah.

So, what are we just supposed
to believe

that PCI had nothing to do
with this?

That's the real story here,
don't you think?

I doubt that'll happen.

Why not?

We're one out of like
a million subsidiaries

that are all owned by,
take a guess.

Of course.

CAMERA WOMAN:
All right, teleprompter rolling.

In five, four, three, two...

Dad?

BRADY ON PHONE: Honey,
it was punishable by death.

Then I'm all she has now.
