MARY: We all have
our loops, our habits...

(INDISTINCT CHATTER CONTINUES)

...behaviors that keep us
walking in circles...

(INDISTINCT CHATTER CONTINUES)

...reaching
for the same solutions

over and over again,

thinking each time they'll
take you somewhere new.

But they don't.

And still,

it's the neural pathway
of least resistance.

A path you made.

It's the one
that kept you safe

when you were a child.

You learned
to push people away

before they could hurt you.

(LIGHTS BUZZING)

(KEYBOARD CLICKING)

And now,

as an adult,

you're still stuck
right where you started.

Alone.

(CLARK SIGHS)

I mean, I'm not lonely.

I have employees
and... customers.

I didn't say lonely.
I said alone.

Yeah, well, I mean...

(CHUCKLES)

I hurt people.

I don't want to.
It's just the way I'm wired.

So maybe I deserve
to be alone.

Do you think anyone
deserves to be alone?

I don't know, but, you know,

maybe it's not
such a bad thing.

MARY:
Being alone feels...

deeply ingrained.

I understand.

You've had dreams
and a lot of resistance,

not a lot of support
in realizing those dreams.

And when we've experienced...

hurt again and again,

we start to expect it.

It's like,
"Oh, I know this path.

I know where it goes."

So...

are you interested
in forging a new path

and see where that leads?

Sure. Why not?
You know, I'm here.

Great.

So I want to revisit

an exercise we've done before.

The role play.

- Oh, the acting thing?
- Yeah.

- I feel stupid doing that.
- I know.

But we have a few minutes.
Let's, um...

Yeah, let's try. A little bit.

(SIGHING):
All right.

MARY:
Let's set the scene.

Let's go back to the night
that Barbara left you.

You mean the night
she kicked me out

of my own house?

Yeah.

I'm playing myself.

- And I'll be Barbara.
- It is my house, by the way.

I'm the one paying for it.

- I know.
- (SIGHING): All right.

Okay, so, um...

(CLEARS THROAT)

I got home late.
I don't know how late.

Uh... She was already asleep.
Maybe midnight.

She usually goes to bed
before... It doesn't matter.

The point is, I was
in the kitchen, and, um...

the glass, I broke the glass,

and she comes running down
to see what happened, and...

things escalated.

And how do you feel?

Well, I was...

I was drunk, and, um...

I-I felt stupid, you know.

I was angry, because...
because I broke the glass.

Can you say that to me?

- Uh, what, to-to Barbara?
- Yeah.

Um... I'm sorry
that I woke you.

Maybe if you'd
come home earlier,

we could have spent
the evening together.

No, I was...
I was working, you know?

I came straight home
after work.

MARY:
Be honest with me, please.

I can smell it on your breath.

I had a few beers.

Define a few.

CLARK:
Well, it was a hard day.

I needed to wind down.

All you ever do
is wind down.

You're always at the store.

You want kids, right?

- We both do.
- Well, you know...

having a family takes money,

which means
someone has to work.

Unless being
a professional student

is considered a job
these days.

That's not fair. You know
I had to take time off.

CLARK: Well, it's not my fault
if you can't keep up.

How are you going
to be a lawyer

if you can't even handle
law school?

Who do you think pays
for everything

while you're gallivanting
around campus

like a 30-year-old freshman?

I'll give you a hint: it's me.

I pay for your school, I pay
for your time off school,

I pay for the roof
over your head.

- Can I talk now?
- No! No.

Because I'd like to know,
what do you think happens

if you do manage to graduate?

You know, you pop out a kid,
then leave me with the bill.

(SNICKERING): Or am I stuck
at home changing diapers because

you're too busy working for
the first time in your life?

- Now you're being cruel.
- I'm being honest.

I thought that's
what you always wanted.

Just because you didn't get to
be an architect doesn't mean--

I am a fucking architect!

God damn it, I'm just stuck
selling shit furniture because

someone won't get off their
fat fucking ass and help me!

(EXHALES SOFTLY)

How do you feel, Clark?

Who am I talking to?

- MARY: Me, here, now.
- You? Okay.

(SWALLOWS)

Um...

I'm sorry,
I didn't mean to, uh...

(PUFF OF AIR)
...you know, get angry

or lose my temper
or whatever.

MARY: I know.

That's the purpose
of the whole exercise.

(CLARK HUFFS)

This is a good start.

To feel what you feel,

and then learn to identify
a new path.

Your reaction was
actually quite normal.

(BREATHES IN AND OUT)

Well, that's me!

(CHUCKLES SOFTLY)

- Well, ahoy there, mateys!
- (LIVELY FOLK MUSIC PLAYING)

Tired of spending
your hard-earned doubloons

on overpriced furniture?

Looking for deals
that'll shiver your timbers?

Then come on down

to Cap'n Clark's
Ottoman Empire,

the Santa Clara Valley's

favorite warehouse
and showrooms.

You'll find bedrooms,
living rooms,

dinettes, dens
and bathrooms aplenty.

First-time homeowners?
We've got ya.

New parents looking
for Billy's first crib?

We've got ya!

From the latest
in modern design

to the classic styles
of yesteryear,

it's all here
and it's all a steal.

What's that, Polly?

You're worried about credit?

Ha! Cap'n Clark says
no credit, no problem!

Sail the high seas
of high quality,

and leave your money problems
at the door.

Walk in today

and get your dream
sectional lounger,

kitchen table, floor lamp,
and bed frame here

at Cap'n Clark's
Ottoman Empire,

located at Capitol and McKee,
just off the 680.

Arr! Walk in today...

(PANTING)

...kick your feet back,

and enjoy an empire
of your own!

For every sultan
deserves a throne,

and we've got one
with your name on it,

here at Cap'n Clark's--

BOBBY:
No way!

- KAT: Clark, you good?
- Turn the camera off.

BOBBY: No, no, it's good.
It's outtake stuff, dude.

- Turn the fucking camera off.
- BOBBY: Okay... Jesus...

- (FOLK MUSIC CONTINUES)
- (CAMERA BEEPS)

You, uh, you need help?

No, I got it, I got it.
(GRUNTS)

Um...

- Are we going again, or...?
- No.

Kat, you can open
the store now.

- (CLARK GRUNTS)
- We've been open.

You know, dude,
I still don't get it.

Are you, like,
a pirate or a sultan?

- Just be good to establish it.
- I'm a... Shut up.

(GRUNTING): Piece of cheap
particleboard bullshit.

Clear this stuff up, will you?

Here.

(NEW WAVE MUSIC PLAYING
ON THE STORE'S SPEAKERS)

(METER MAN SIGHS)

Sorry about that.

How's it looking?

METER MAN:
Meter reads fine.

If your bill's coming in high,
that's on you.

What about the outages?
That happens after hours.

Don't know. Fluorescents
must be tripping a breaker.

(GRUNTS)

I turn the overheads off
when the store closes,

before the power gets weird.

Anyway, wouldn't that
just make the bills go down?

(METER MAN SLOWLY INHALES)

Where's your breaker box?

CLARK:
I'm no expert,

but I checked earlier,
and everything looks okay.

- You said the lights flicker.
- Yeah, the whole store does.

- Huh.
- Just not at the same time.

One night,
I lose the power upstairs.

Next night, it's down here.
There's no rhyme or...

(METER MAN SIGHS)

(CLARK SIGHS)

Who the hell installed
this thing?

Well, the building came wired.

I mean, it's dated,
but it's not that old.

(BREAKERS CLICKING)

METER MAN:
Take a look at this.

CLARK:
That wasn't there before.

Or... maybe I didn't notice.
Like I say, I'm no expert.

Why-why is it...
why is it going that way?

(METER MAN INHALES SHARPLY)
Better question:

what is it even connected to?

Huh?

CLARK (SHOUTING):
Kat! How's the power?

KAT: What?

Anything happen up there?

METER MAN:
Damn...

The rat's back.

- But the power's on.
- Yeah.

I thought we killed the rat.

We killed a rat.

- So is this the problem?
- Don't see how.

Power can't even go through
this part of the circuit.

It's just...

there.

Like some schmo
just stuck it in there.

ALIEN 1: That small blip

It's a spaceship,
and it's on our tail.

- It's getting closer.
- ALIEN 2: Impossible, Rigna.

They couldn't have spotted us.
We have our radar shield on.

ALIEN 1: I know that, sir,
but they are gaining on us.

ALIEN 2: Is it possible
Earth has a secret device

that can penetrate
our radar shield?

MARY (ON TAPE): Why did you
do this to yourself?

How did you get here?

Your consciousness
is a room full of memories

that is constantly evolving.

But as you walk through life,

the untrained mind
can start to build walls,

put up barriers

to protect itself
from the outside world.

(ENGINE IDLES)

It's a natural response.

Something we are
often unaware of.

(CLARK SIGHS)

But if gone unchecked,

it can leave you
feeling trapped.

You can become convinced
that the world outside

is better off without you.

That you never deserve
the relationships you've had.

(CLARK SIGHS)

Resigned to watch
your life unfold

from behind a lone window.

(INDISTINCT CHATTER)

I can help you open it now

because the window
isn't locked.

The latch was never broken.

Are you ready to step through?

So that you can reclaim that
which was once yours...

and take back control
of your life.

The life you want
to be living.

(INDISTINCT CHATTER)

Unburdened by the traumas of the past.

Free of the confines
you had built.

WOMAN: ...to leave,
and so I decided...

And free to choose
a path of your own design.

CLARK:
Sorry I'm late.

(CLARK SIGHS)

Traffic was hell,
and I couldn't leave early.

Let's just use
the time we have.

(CLARK BREATHING DEEPLY)

How are you today, Clark?

(LAUGHING):
How do I look?

Fine. A little tired, maybe.

I look like shit.

MARY:
Can I ask, and there is

no wrong answer here,
you know that...

Are you intoxicated right now?

Why you say it like that?

Like what?

I haven't had a drink
since Friday.

It's probably why
I look like shit.

(CLEARS THROAT)

- Can I ask you something?
- Sure.

You ever 5150'd someone?

A few times over the years,
when it was necessary.

Wh-wha-what makes it
necessary?

If I believe that the person
is a danger

to themselves or others,

or they're gravely disabled.

Okay. Okay.

Um...
(CLEARS THROAT)

I found something
in the store.

Okay. What did you find?

Uh...

A place. I f...

I found a place.

A place?

Yeah. It's like, um...

It's like the store
just, uh...

continues, I guess.

(CHUCKLING): It's like...
you know, like there's a wall

and on the other side
of the wall,

the store just keeps going,
you know,

like-like a...
like a copy of itself.

I-I-I figure they're using
mirrors or something

to hide the entrance,
I don't know.

Sorry, I'm not following you.

Is this a room
you didn't know about before?

No.

Okay, so y-y-you go in
and, uh, at first

it just looks like a-
like an office building.

Like a... like a huge
office building, you know?

And then, uh...
But then you-you keep going,

and then-then you realize

th-th-that none of it
makes any sense.

It's-it's like, um...
Imagine describing a dog

to someone
who's never seen one before

and then asking them
to draw it.

They might get
some things right, you know,

but there's no way
they'd get everything right.

You know,
the devil's in the details.

So from a distance,
you look at it,

you think you're seeing a dog,
but then you look clos--

Why are you
looking at me like that?

I'm just trying to understand.

CLARK: Oh.

You know, for a shrink,
you got a terrible poker face.

What you're saying
might sound fantastical,

but not dangerous.

Are there any people
in these offices?

Not that I've seen.
You know, I hear, um...

There's footsteps, an-an-and
stuff gets moved around

when I'm not looking.

I know how this sounds,
but you've got to understand,

it's massive in there.

Like New-York's-subway-system
massive, you know.

For all I know,
there's hundreds of people.

I just haven't seen them.
(CLEARS THROAT)

CLARK: Look.

You see? It's like a...

(CHUCKLES)
It's like a maze.

It just goes on and on and on.
(LAUGHS)

Sometimes I'm scared
I'll get lost.

Why do you think no one else
has found this place?

(SIGHS)
I don't know.

The entrance is
on the subfloor,

so the whole structure is

probably underground,
you know?

It's not on any city maps.

The entrances are hidden,
so who'd think to look?

I'm not saying
I don't believe you...

but you told me yourself

you haven't had a drink
since Friday.

- Do you think there is a--
- Okay.

- Clark--
- No, no.

- If this is true--
- Yeah, I get it. Thank you.

(PAPER RUMPLES)

You know, I'm gonna
come back here with proof

and you're gonna owe me
a serious fucking apology.

(CLARK'S FOOTSTEPS)

(BAG RUSTLING)

BOBBY:
Okay, we are rolling.

We got, um,
some shit over here.

We got some stop signs

and, uh... a rope.

What's the rope for?

Supplies.

KAT: Oh, great,
he's gonna tie us up.

No, we're gonna tie
ourselves up.

BOBBY:
Hmm. Kinky.

KAT:
What the fuck?

BOBBY:
Uh, you still haven't told us

what we're doing here, man.

I did tell you. Research.

These are supplies, and we're
using them for research.

It's not that hard
to understand.

BOBBY:
Okay, research for what?

Y-you gotta be
more specific, dude.

I'm gonna go through the door.

KAT:
What door?

- That's the door.
- (BOBBY SNORTS)

I taped an outline
on the other side, too,

just to help us find
our way back.

Look, I know it sounds crazy,
but follow my lead.

D-did you just fucking...

What? How the f...

KAT: Bobby, stop.
What are you doing?

- BOBBY: What the fuck?!
- KAT: Clark, where are you?

BOBBY: Ha! Hey, did you...
did you see that?

Oh! Where the f--

CLARK: Just step through

J-just, you gotta
come see this.

- Clark, what is this?

- Where are we?
- CLARK: Oh!

That's what I'm trying
to figure out.

BOBBY: Whose, um...
Whose shit is this?

Is it-is it...
is it part of your store?

CLARK:
If it belongs to someone,

- I haven't met them yet.
- BOBBY: Okay...

I've been in here every night
since I found the place,

and I still barely scratched
the surface.

- (BOBBY EXHALES DEEPLY)
- Come on. I'll show you.

It only gets better.

- BOBBY: What the fuck...
- KAT: Hey. Hey.

You don't think he, like,
dosed us or something, do you?

What? No, no, no.
We're not on drugs.

I think I'd be able to tell
if I was high.

You are high!

Pot doesn't count.

BOBBY:
So, um, it's like...

what, like an empty
office building?

In here? Sure.
But it's like it was made

by a bunch of construction
workers on acid.

(LAUGHING):
There's even a pool!

There's a pool?

Yeah. I mean, kind of.

- (BOBBY CHUCKLES)
- Keep up.

BOBBY:
"Pots." What the fuck?

(BOBBY EXHALES DEEPLY)

CLARK: Yeah, no, no, that's
the way I went last time.

Yeah, when I was looking for
a staircase down or something.

Only thing I found so far
is basically more of a...

BOBBY: Okay...

CLARK: I don't know,
it's like a ramp, really.

It's, uh... It's up here.

(BOBBY WHISTLES, SNIFFS)

KAT: I don't see why Bobby
has to be the one to go.

- BOBBY: I want to.
- He's the one with the camera.

KAT: Well, it's not
like it's attached.

BOBBY:
Yeah, well, I mean,

to my student ID,
yeah, it kinda is.

Any trouble, just give a tug,
and I'll pull you up, okay?

KAT: Trouble?
Clark, what fucking trouble?

There's not going to be
any trouble.

BOBBY:
Babe, babe, babe, it's good.

- No, hey--
- It's good. I'm good.

Baby, you don't have
to do this.

No, it's cool. I-I just want
to see what's down there.

- Are you not curious?
- KAT: This is stupid!

- Just go as far as you can.
- BOBBY: No, look, look, look!

You can basically
walk down without a rope.

It's fine,
and it's not even steep.

(CLARK GRUNTS)
Okay.

BOBBY: Okay, just don't...
just one thing.

If I don't come back, you'll
tell my mom I love her, right?

and rooms and buildings

misremembering themselves.

Clark...

let's talk this through.

In some ways...

they're an improvement
on the originals.

For starters,

they can't feel anything.

(CLARK LAUGHS)

I mean...

(MARY LOUDLY EXHALES)

...there's no thoughts
or pain, no ego, no fear.

They simply...

exist.

Like... like furniture!

(LABORED BREATHING)
(GRUNTS)

I tried to help her,
but she just, uh...

Clark!

If you untie me,
we can talk this through,

get you feeling better.

Yeah, well,
what if I did untie you?

You know, what then?

You'd run around here

like a chicken
with its head cut off,

looking for a way out.

(EXHALES SHARPLY)

But you'd end up in
the same place you are now.

(PANTING)

Like the path thing
you're always talking about.

Clark!

I just want to help you.
Just tell me what you need.

I'll-I'll-I'll do it.

Yeah?

Yeah. Yes, please.

(DEEP SIGH)
Okay.

Well, I want you to tell me

that I didn't do
anything wrong, you know,

that-that you were wrong
about me.

I was wrong about you! I was.

- I was wrong about you.
- No, no, not-not like that.

Not... not so fast, okay?

I mean, I wanna...
I want to set the scene first!

(CLARK CHUCKLES)

(CLEARS THROAT)

Let's start, um...

well, the night that, uh...

that I got kicked out
of my own house.

Yeah?

(BREATHING HEAVILY)

(CLARK SIGHS)

It was, um... It was late.

A lot darker.

Uh...

Lights, please.

(BREATHING HEAVILY)

(CHUCKLES)

I tried this exercise
with her before.

It doesn't go anywhere.

(CHUCKLES LIGHTLY)

(INHALES)
Fine!

I'll do it myself.
(CLEARS THROAT)

(GRUNTS)
It's still my house after all.

(SIGHS)

Yeah.

- (MARY GASPS)
- Thank you. Much better.

still...

something off.

I'm sorry.

I'm sorry, I...

broke the glass
and woke you up.

I know how you like
to sleep early.

I was at the store late.

I guess I lost track
of the time.

I was checking inventory.

But...

I stopped off for a few beers.

- Clark--
- Barbara!

I was checking inventory.

Then I stopped off
for a few beers.

(UNSETTLING MUSIC PLAYING)

Defi-define a few.

As many as I wanted.

Because this is my house.

I pay for it.

I pay for everything.
I pay for you to go to school.

I pay for your time
off school!

I pay for the roof
over your head!

You want kids, right?

Well, that takes money.

So someone has to work
around here.

I said someone has

to get off her fat ass
and work around here!

Just because you didn't get
to be an architect don--

I am a fucking architect.

(UNSETTLING MUSIC
SLOWLY RISES)

I'm just stuck selling
shit furniture because someone

won't get off her fat
fucking ass and help me!

- I'm not your wife!
- Stay in character.

- (MARY EXHALES LOUDLY)
- Stay in character!

- I've never even met her!
- STAY IN CHARACTER!

FUCK YOU!

(SHUDDERING BREATH)

What did you say?

You wanna know the real reason
your wife left you?

It wasn't the drinking,

or the stumbling home
at all hours, or the rage.

It was the whining!

Nothing's ever your fault,
is it?

You drink too much?
Blame your job.

You hate your job?
Blame the world.

You get kicked out
of the house?

Blame your wife.

You attack me and tie me up?

Blame your brain!

You are your fucking brain,
you dipshit!

- You're saying it's my fault?
- Yes!

But it's just the way
you're wired, isn't it?

ISN'T IT?!

(INHALES, EXHALES)

How do I stop doing that?

Honestly,
I have no fucking idea.

(PENSIVE MUSIC PLAYING)

I can't help you, Clark.

As much as I tried.

It's just not up to me.

(DEEP SIGH)

I can't save anyone.

(EXHALES SHARPLY)

(CLARK'S SHUDDERING BREATH)

You know...

I don't think
I want to change.

Then don't.

(SHUDDERING BREATH)

I like it in here.

(SHUDDERING BREATH)

For the first time
in a long time,

I feel like I'm...

like I'm right where
I'm supposed to be.

(SIGHS)

Then stay.

Right where you are.

(INHALES SHARPLY)
But let me go.

Hello, my name is Phil.

And you're Mary, yeah?

Uh... I was hoping to ask you
a few questions, just for...

some clarification on our end,

if that's okay.

Uh, first thing, um...

could you establish
how you, uh...

got in here?

I walked through a wall

in the basement
of a furniture store.

Hmm.

(PHOTO RUSTLES)

Can you confirm that this is
the location in question?

Okay, good.
So you were shopping, or...

I was looking for someone.

- (PHOTO RUSTLES)
- Um...

were you looking for this man,

right here?

Where am I right now?

Could you just confirm for me?

Is this man right here
the man you were looking for?

- Please.
- (PHIL STUTTERS)

- Sorry, what was your name?
- Phil.

Please, Phil. Where am I?

I'm not...

(SIGHS)

I make, um... Sorry, my...

Our company, we make...

MRI machines.

Or... I should say, um,

we used to make
MRI machines.

Not anymore.

That was before we...

(DEEP BREATH)

- Before we found--
- You've been there.

Yes, I have.

And now, it's my job.
(SIGHS)

Every day, I-I go in there
and I just try to f...

try to find out ev-even
a little bit more.

I-I map out areas
to the best of my ability.

And more and more,
I'm convinced

that nothing
in our lifetime, Mary,

n-nothing in-in maybe
all of recorded history

means more than this.

But I don't understand it.
I don't...

I-I can't even describe it.

It...

It's like describing a dog

to someone
who's never seen a dog.

And then asking them
to draw it.

Now you want me
to... describe it.

And then you'll write it down,
and then what?

- Mary--
- You'll let me go?

We all want
the same thing here.

We do.

We just want to find out
even a little bit more.

What's gonna happen
to me, Phil?

That decision's not up to me.

So...

if we could just talk,
just you and me,

you know, just like...
just like two regular people.

We could unpack some of this,
we've both been in there,

and-and-and get
on the same page.

There are doors
opening everywhere.

We don't know why
or what's connecting them.

(VOICE GETTING MUFFLED):
They sort of keep happening,

and we don't know
how to stop them.
