PREVIOUSLY ON "MIND GAMES"...

THIS IS THE GUY
YOU'LL WORK WITH.

OKAY. OLIVER.

I MEAN, YOUR PARENTS
ARE LIKE ZILLIONAIRES
OR SOMETHING, RIGHT?

WHAT DOES THAT MEAN?

WHAT IS WITH YOU?
I'VE NEVER SEEN YOU LIKE
THIS ON A JOB BEFORE.

BECAUSE I'VE NEVER BEEN
SCREWING PEOPLE

THAT I GENUINELY LIKED
BEFORE.

HE'S BEEN ASKING THESE
REALLY ODDLY SPECIFIC QUESTIONS.

DO YOU THINK
I'M BEING PARANOID?

SAM! COME ON,
OPEN THE DOOR!

SAM, I JUST WANT TO TALK!

SAM, YOU'RE NOT GONNA BE ABLE
TO AVOID ME FOREVER!

[ CAMERA SHUTTER CLICKS ]

YEAH. HE'S AT HER APARTMENT
OVER HERE.

POUNDING ON THE DOOR.

WHAT DO YOU WANT ME
TO DO WITH HIM?

WHAT'S UNDER MY FEET,
KEN?

UH, CARPET?
NEW CARPET?

THEY SAID THAT BUYING
USED CARPET IS NOT A THING.

THEN YOU'RE NOT ASKING
THE RIGHT PEOPLE, ARE YOU?

YOU NEED...
WHAT? WHAT'S THIS?

YOUR NAME TAG.

"ROYCE POWELL,

ELECTRONIC-BANKING
FRAUD-PREVENTION OFFICER."

AND "FRAUD" IS
SPELLED WITH A "W."

YEAH,
THAT'S A MISPRINT.

WE JUST WANTED HIM
TO APPROVE IT FOR SIZE.

I WOULD THINK THAT "FRAUD"
WOULD BE THE ONE WORD

YOU WOULD HAVE SPELLED
CORRECTLY.

UH, JUST PUT
HIS NAME ON IT.

HE DOESN'T NEED HIS WHOLE
RéSUMé PINNED TO HIS JACKET.

YOU OKAY?

[ SIGHS ]

WHAT DOES THAT SMELL LIKE
TO YOU?

[ EXHALES ] I DON'T KNOW.
PAINT? PLASTIC?

IT SMELLS LIKE A LIE.

IT SMELLS LIKE
A BUNCH OF AMATEURS

INVENTED A BANK OUT OF THIN AIR
IN TWO DAYS

TO GET SOMEONE
TO SIGN AWAY THEIR TRUST FUND.

THEY DON'T KNOW
WHAT THEY'RE DOING.
WHAT'S GOING ON WITH YOU?

YOU'VE NEVER BEEN
THIS NERVOUS BEFORE.

I NEVER PULLED A JOB
WITH SOMEONE THREATENING
TO BREAK MY LEGS BEFORE.

THAT'S NOT GONNA HAPPEN.
YOU UNDERSTAND ME?

I SET THE IMPORTANT PARTS UP
MYSELF,

AND THEY ARE
GONNA WORK.

[ SLAPS BACK ]
YOU'RE GONNA BE OKAY.

Vincent:
[ British accent ] MARTIN!

THIS LOOKS GREAT.

HA! I LOVE IT!

HELLO, SAM.
ISAAC VINCENT.

MR. VINCENT,
WHAT ARE YOU DOING HERE?

I THOUGHT YOU WANTED ME
TO TAKE THIS JOB...

YEAH, I KNOW, I KNOW...
I TOLD MARTIN I WOULD STAY AWAY,

BUT I FELT I HAD TO COME DOWN
AND EXPRESS SOME CONCERNS.

WELL, I'VE GOT IT
UNDER CONTROL.

YEAH, I CAN SEE THAT,

BUT IT'S NOT YOU OR YOUR CARPET
I'M WORRIED ABOUT.

IT'S OUR FRIEND HERE...
SAM.

AND THIS GUY
THAT'S BEATING DOWN HER DOOR.

WHAT ARE YOU
TALKING ABOUT?

THESE, LOVE.

ARE YOU FOLLOWING ME?
ABSOLUTELY WE ARE.

YOU SEE, SAM, THIS FAKE BANK
YOU'RE STANDING IN

IS ALL
COMING OUT OF MY WALLET.

NOW, I WANT TO MAKE SURE
THINGS DON'T GO WRONG.

'CAUSE IF THEY DO,
I'D HAVE TO ELIMINATE THEM.

AND THIS GUY...

THIS LOOKS LIKE SOMETHING
THAT COULD GO WRONG.

WE WORK TOGETHER.
IT'S NOTHING.

[ Laughing ] GREAT!

I'M GLAD WE GOT THAT
ALL CLEARED UP.

SUPERB.

ONLY...

HOW DO I KNOW
IT'S NOTHING?

YOU SEE MY DILEMMA?

I'M WORKING
WITH PROFESSIONAL LIARS,

AND I DON'T KNOW
WHEN I CAN BELIEVE THEM.

NOW, IF THIS GUY
BECOMES A SERIOUS PROBLEM,

I'M GONNA HAVE TO
CLEAR IT UP.

THEN IT'S GONNA BECOME
A MESS.

YOU CAN ASK MARTIN HERE.

I'M NOT ABOVE
BEING MESSY.

SO MAYBE YOU WANT TO DEAL
WITH THIS...

BEFORE I DO.

YOU GOT THAT?

JOE, LET'S TROT ON.

NOW IT FEELS LIKE
A REAL BANK.

Clark:
YOU'RE CHEATING!

Miles:
DON'T BE A HATER.

THERE IS NO WAY THAT YOU KNEW
THAT "JAUK" WAS A WORD.

OH, SO BECAUSE I'M WINNING,
THAT MEANS I MUST BE CHEATING.

YES.
WHAT DOES IT MEAN?

IT'S, UH...
OKAY, YOU FORFEIT,

AND I'M REPORTING YOU
TO THE GOVERNING BODY.

LATRELL! LATRELL, WHO'S
IN CHARGE OF THIS GAME?

AND HERE I THOUGHT
UPGRADING YOUR PHONE

WOULD MAKE YOU
MORE PRODUCTIVE.

SO, I CAN'T FIND ROSS,
AND THE CLIENT HE BOOKED

SAYS SHE CAN'T
MAKE IT HERE.

SO... RESCHEDULE HER.

I WOULD, BUT SHE SEEMED
REALLY STRESSED,

SO I SAID WE COULD MAKE
AN EXCEPTION THIS ONCE
AND COME TO HER.

YOU ARE NOT MEAN ENOUGH
TO WORK RECEPTION.

OKAY, WHERE IS IT
THAT SHE'D LIKE US TO MEET?

WHAT?

I CAN'T TELL YOU HOW MUCH I
APPRECIATE YOU MEETING ME HERE.

I-I HAD EVERYTHING ARRANGED
TO COME IN AND MEET YOU GUYS.

THEN THE DRESS CAME BACK,
AND APPARENTLY THE STRESS
OF THE WEDDING

HAS CAUSED ME TO LOSE WEIGHT...
SADLY, ALL IN MY BREASTS,

SO NOW I'M FLOATING
IN THIS THING

LIKE I'M BEING SHOT OUT
OF A WHITE CANNON.

AND THEN
MY MOTHER IS OVER THERE

TRYING TO TALK THE STORE INTO
SCREWING OVER SOME OTHER BRIDE

AND JUST GIVING US
HER DRESS.

UH,
IT'S NOT A PROBLEM.

THIS IS MY ASSOCIATE,
MILES.

UNFORTUNATELY, ROSS,
WHO SCHEDULED YOUR APPOINTMENT,

IS, UH...

WELL, WE'RE... ACTUALLY NOT SURE
WHERE HE IS RIGHT NOW.

OH, THAT'S OKAY.

NO, I JUST GOT HIS NAME
FROM A FRIEND OF A FRIEND,

AND HONESTLY, AT THIS MOMENT,
I DON'T REMEMBER ANYONE'S NAMES.

SO...
HOW CAN WE HELP YOU?

KAREN, THEY'RE GOING TO LET YOU
TRY ON THE OTHER ONE.

I'M NOT STEALING
SOMEONE'S DRESS, MOM!

IT'S NOT STEALING.
THE STORE IS PERFECTLY HA...

I WILL GIVE YOU THE SPEECH ABOUT
RIGHT VERSUS WRONG MOMENTARILY.

CAN YOU JUST GIVE ME A MINUTE?
THANKS.

I NEED YOU TO HELP ME
GO THROUGH WITH THIS.

WITH...
THE WEDDING.

YOU DON'T WANT
TO GET MARRIED?

OH, ARE YOU KIDDING?
I TOTALLYWANT TO GET MARRIED.

WHEN SEAN ASKED ME,
I WAS SO HAPPY,

I CRIED FOR TWO MINUTES
BEFORE I COULD ACTUALLY
SAY THE WORD "YES."

BUT NOW THAT
THINGS ARE GETTING CLOSER

AND THERE'S ALL THIS STUFF
SWIRLING AROUND,

I'M THINKING CRAZY THINGS,
YOU KNOW, LIKE MAYBE...

MAYBE I'M TOO YOUNG
TO GET MARRIED, RIGHT?

OR... OR MAYBE I SHOULD BE
MARRYING SEAN'S BEST MAN

INSTEAD OF SEAN.

OR... MAYBE I'D MAKE
A GREAT LESBIAN

IF I JUST... I DON'T KNOW...
GAVE IT A SHOT.

KAREN, COLD FEET IS
A COMPLETELY NORMAL REACTION.

THAT IS
WHAT EVERYONE KEEPS SAYING,

BUT I GET COLD FEET
ABOUT EVERYTHING.

I BUY A PACK OF GUM,
I HAVE SECOND THOUGHTS.

MY SECOND THOUGHTS...
THEY'RE ALWAYS BAD.

MY FIRST INSTINCT, THAT'S SOLID.
THAT'S WHERE IT'S AT.

BUT I CAN NEVER SEEM TO GET
MY BRAIN TO MUTE AFTER THAT,

AND I JUST END UP
RUINING THINGS.

I JUST MISS THINGS.

AND I DON'T WANT TO DO THAT...
NOT WITH THIS.

YEAH. WELL...

I JUST DON'T KNOW HOW
WE CAN HELP YOU, REALLY.

I READ THIS ARTICLE THAT SAID
THERE WERE THESE... EXPERIMENTS

WHERE THEY...
WHAT DO YOU CALL IT?

LIKE, PRIMED PEOPLE
IN STRESSFUL SITUATIONS

TO JUST TUNE OUT THE NEGATIVES
AND SEE THE POSITIVES.

POSITIVE KEY STIMULI
FOCAL PRIMING?

THAT SOUNDS GREAT!
CAN YOU JUST DO THAT... TO ME?

JUST FOCUS ME ON "I DO"
AND NOT "BRIDE WARS."

JUST KEY... WHATEVER ME
ON MY FIANCé, SEAN,

AND NOT WHAT COLOR
THE BAND'S LAPELS SHOULD BE,

OR JUST GET ME TO STOP
WATCHING "RUNAWAY BRIDE."

KAREN, THE THING IS,

W-W-WE MOSTLY DO THIS
TO PEOPLE WHO...

don't know
that we're doing it to them.

THEN THIS ONE
WILL BE EASY. RIGHT?

BECAUSE WE'RE ALL
ON THE SAME TEAM.

[ CHUCKLES LIGHTLY ]

KAREN! WE NEED TO GO.
THE OTHER BRIDE IS COMING.

Karen:
DR. EDWARDS, JUST...

JUST PLEASE.

HEY. GONE FOR
A COUPLE OF HOURS,

AND YOU LEAVE 20 MESSAGES
ON MY MACHINE?

WHAT'S GOING ON?

MM. MMM.

LET'S EAT.
I'M HUNGRY.

WHAT ARE YOU DOING
TO MILES?

WHAT?

[ SIGHS ]

YOU INTRODUCE HIM
TO THIS OLIVER GUY,

THEN YOU WARN HIM
TO WATCH OUT,

GET HIM WORRYING ABOUT OLIVER,
BUT TRUSTING YOU,

AND THEN YOU END UP
TAKING HIM DOWN.

[ SCOFFS ]

YOU THINK I HAVEN'T SEEN IT?
YOU THINK I HAVEN'T DONE IT?

YOU'RE ACTING TOTALLY PARANOID
RIGHT NOW.

I AM NOT UP TO ANYTHING.

WHAT, DID MILES TELL YOU
THAT SOMETHING'S GOING ON?

HE DIDN'T HAVE TO. I'VE
DEVELOPED A PRETTY GOOD RADAR

FOR THESE THINGS
I'VE LEARNED TO TRUST.

APPARENTLY, YOU TRUST YOUR RADAR
MORE THAN YOU TRUST ME.

[ SIGHS ]

YOU'RE RIGHT.

PROBABLY GOT IT WRONG.

PROBABLY SEEN MOVES I WOULD HAVE
MADE, IMAGINED THE REST.

NO, YOU'RE NOT
JUST IMAGINING THE REST.

YOU'RE ACCUSING ME OF IT.

[ CHUCKLES ] OKAY.
HERE'S WHAT I'LL DO.

I'LL TELL MILES
THAT IT'S PROBABLY NOTHING.

GOOD.
[ CHUCKLES ]

BUT HE SHOULD BE
ON GUARD...

THAT IF ANYONE ANYWHERE
SO MUCH AS ASKS HIM FOR A DOLLAR

HE SHOULD CALL ME, THE POLICE,
AND HIS ACCOUNTANT.

THAT WAY, IF THIS OLIVER GUY
TURNS OUT...

WAIT.

[ SIGHS ]

ROSS...
SON OF A BITCH.

NO, ROSS.
R-ROSS, YOU DON'T UNDERSTAND.

WERE YOU WORKING ME,
TOO?

WAS THIS LITTLE FLING OF OURS
JUST A WAY TO GET ME

LOOKING IN
THE OTHER DIRECTION?
NO. I HAD TO.

I OWE THIS MAN
EVERYTHING.

HE'S SAVED ME MORE TIMES
THAN I CAN EVEN COUNT!

IF... IF I DIDN'T HELP HIM,

THEY WERE THREATENING
TO KILL HIM.

YOU BETTER TELL HIM TO RUN,
BECAUSE THIS ISN'T HAPPENING.

LISTEN TO ME... THIS VINCENT GUY
THAT'S BANKROLLING EVERYTHING,

HE IS NOT THE KIND OF PERSON
THAT YOU CAN JUST TELL,

"I'M GONNA
CHANGE MY MIND."

IT DOESN'T MATTER THAT
I DON'T WANT TO DO THIS.
I HAVETO DO THIS.

IF YOU THINK I'M LETTING
YOU GET NEAR MILES'
MONEY, YOU ARE CRAZY.

I'M NOT LETTING YOU
SAY ANYTHING TO MILES, ROSS.

WATCH ME.

BECAUSE IF YOU DO,

I'M GONNA HAVE TO
TELL CLARK EVERYTHING.

[ SIGHS ]

THAT YOU HIRED BETH
TO HAVE AN AFFAIR WITH HIM

AND GET HIM FIRED,

THAT YOU PAID HER
TO GO AWAY,

AND THEN YOU HIRED ME
TO PAY HER TO GO AWAY AGAIN.

TH-THIS ENTIRE COMPANY IS BUILT
ON A SERIES OF YOUR LIES.

AND WHEN CLAIRE FIGURED IT OUT,
YOU MADE HER GO AWAY, TOO.

IT WOULD DESTROY
EVERYTHING, ROSS.

YOU WOULD LOSE HIM,
YOU WOULD LOSE THE BUSINESS,

HE WOULD LOSE BETH,
AND FOR WHAT?!

TO PROTECT SOME
OUTRAGEOUSLY WEALTHY FAMILY

FROM WHAT AMOUNTS TO ONE BAD DAY
ON THE STOCK MARKET.

[ SIGHS ]

JUST LET IT GO.

COME ON.
JUST LET IT GO.

AND WHEN THIS IS ALL OVER,
WE CAN ALL JUST...

GO ON.

[ SCOFFS ]

I SAW AN AD THE OTHER DAY...
"FIVE NIGHTS IN HAWAII."

I WAS GONNA ASK YOU
IF YOU THOUGHT IT'D BE TOO SOON

FOR US TO GO AWAY
ON VACATION TOGETHER.

HOW'D I GET YOU
SO WRONG?

YOU DIDN'T.
IT'S JUST THIS ONE THING.

WHEN IS IT
SUPPOSED TO HAPPEN?

WHY DO YOU WANT TO KNOW?

'CAUSE I WANT YOU GONE
AS SOON AS POSSIBLE.

ROSS, PLEASE.
GO TO HELL, SAM.

[ SIGHS ]
HEY. WHAT'S GOING ON?

AH,
IT'S A PERSONAL ISSUE.

THE BRIDE SHOW UP?
KAREN OR WHATEVER...

I MEANT WITH ME.
I ASKED YOU IF YOU THOUGHT

I SHOULD BE
CONCERNED ABOUT OLIVER.

YOU SAID YOU WERE
GONNA LOOK INTO IT,
AND THEN YOU DISAPPEARED.

SO...
[ SIGHS ]

DO I NEED
TO BE WORRIED?

NO. NO, IT'S, UH...
PROBABLY NOTHING.

OH.

GOOD. I M...
[ LAUGHS ]

I WAS AFRAID
YOU WERE GONNA TELL ME

THAT I WAS GONNA
HAVE TO STOP SEEING HIM,

WHICH WOULD HAVE BEEN PAINFUL
AT THIS POINT.

THANK YOU.

WHERE HAVE YOU BEEN?!
HEY.

OKAY, MILES AND I
HAD TO GO TO A BRIDAL...

PERSONAL ISSUE, OKAY?
NOT IN THE MOOD.

FINE. WHATEVER.
MILES.
MM?

WHAT IF WE WERE TO USE

MOTIVATIONAL REINFORCEMENT
TRIADS?

ROSS, YOU GOT TO STOP
THESE GUYS.

THEY ARE TRYING
TO FORCE THIS POOR WOMAN

INTO GETTING MARRIED
AGAINST HER BETTER JUDGMENT.

SHE ASKED US FOR HELP.

GUYS,
SHE'S HAVING DOUBTS

BECAUSE SHE DOESN'T WANT
TO GET MARRIED.

WE SHOULD BE
HELPING HER OUT OF IT,

NOT FORCING HER INTO IT.

YOU ARE PROJECTING
ONTO SOMEONE

WHO TOLD US
EXACTLY WHAT SHE WANTS.

SHE TOLD YOU
WHAT SHE WANTS TO WANT

BECAUSE IT ISN'T ACTUALLY
WHAT SHE WANTS.

BELIEVE IT OR NOT,
I FOLLOWED THAT.

WELL,
MAYBE SHE'S RIGHT.

WE CAN'T BE SURE ONE WAY
OR THE OTHER IF THAT IS...

CLARK, SHE WASN'T THERE.
SHE WASN'T THERE. WE WERE.

BUT WHAT IF...
WHAT IF IT DOESN'T MATTER?

WHAT IF, INSTEAD OF PUSHING HER
TO DO ONE THING OR ANOTHER,

WE GET HER TO DIG
DEEP INSIDE HERSELF

AND KNOW,
WITH ABSOLUTE CERTAINTY,

WHAT REALLY MATTERED
TO HER?

SO THAT, EITHER WAY,

S-SHE COULD ACT DECISIVELY
AND WITHOUT REGRET.

IS THAT POSSIBLE?
CAN WE DO THAT?

NO.
YES.

NO.
YES!

N.D.E.
OH.

LOOK,
EVEN IN SIMULATED EVENTS,

SUBJECTS EXPERIENCED A FEELING
OF TREMENDOUS CLARITY,

AS IF THEY COULD SUDDENLY
SEE THROUGH THE...

THE CLUTTER OF DAILY LIFE

AND UNDERSTAND
WHAT REALLY MATTERED TO THEM.

SOME DESCRIBE IT
AS HAVING BEEN, UH,

GIVEN THE GIFT
OF INSIGHT.

ABNER DID SOME STUDIES
AT CBU.

I CAN ASK HIM TO LOAN US
A LITTLE BIT OF THE...

YEAH, LOOK, MEGAN, IF YOU'RE
RIGHT AND SHE WANTS OUT,

SHE'LL EJECT
WITHOUT HESITATION.

MILES,
IF YOU'RE RIGHT

AND SHE JUST NEEDS
A LITTLE PUSH

TO GET TO WHERE
SHE'S ALREADY GOING,

THEN SHE'LL GO DOWN THE AISLE
WITH A ROCKET ON HER BACK.

THIS SOUNDS PERFECT.
WHAT IS N.D.E.?

YOU KNOW WHAT? YOU'RE JUST
GONNA THINK IT SOUNDS BAD.

CLARK, WHAT IS N.D.E.?

NEAR-DEATH EXPERIENCE.

ARE YOU SAYING THAT YOU WANT
TO ALMOST KILL THE BRIDE?

ROUGHLY, YEAH.
SORT OF.

I FORESEE MYSELF
TAKING A SICK DAY.

RESEARCH SUGGESTS THAT
EVERYTHING THAT WE HAVE
COME TO ASSOCIATE

WITH NEAR-DEATH EXPERIENCES,
LIKE THE LIGHT IN THE TUNNEL

OR FEELING OUT OF BODY
OR A SENSE OF A HIGHER POWER,

ALL THAT IS REALLY
JUST A WAVE OF BRAIN ACTIVITY...

SOMETIMES CALLED
THE "END OF LIFE SURGE"...

WHICH IS TRIGGERED WHEN
THE BRAIN IS STARVED OF OXYGEN.

SO SCIENTISTS
STARTED TO WONDER

IF WE COULD TRIGGER
THE SAME PHENOMENON

WITHOUT
PUTTING YOU IN DANGER.

YOU READY?

OKAY.

TA-DA!
TA-DA!

THE NEAR-DEATH-EXPERIENCE
CHAIR!

SOUNDS LIKE
THE WORST CARNIVAL RIDE EVER.

IT IS GOING TO HELP TRIGGER
A WAVE OF BRAIN PATTERNS

THAT ARE ACTUALLY VERY SIMILAR
TO THE END OF LIFE SURGE.

BUT BECAUSE IT'S GONNA HAPPEN
AS A RESULT

OF US TRICKING THE MIND
AND NOT ATTACKING THE BODY,

PERFECTLY SAFE.

IN LIMITED TRIALS,
AFTER THE EXPERIENCE,

SUBJECTS
ALL SEEM TO REPORT

A SENSE OF RENEWED CLARITY,
FOCUS.

THE BRAIN REACTS TO
WHAT IT PERCEIVES AS A NEAR-MISS

BY CLEARING AWAY ALL THE CLUTTER
IN YOUR DAILY LIFE

AND JUST LEAVING YOU
WITH A PICTURE

OF ONLY
WHAT'S MOST IMPORTANT TO YOU...

SUCH AS... THE MAN
YOU WANT TO MARRY.

OR THAT YOU DON'T ACTUALLY
WANT TO GET MARRIED AT ALL.

Latrell:
SO, PUTTING KAREN IN THIS CHAIR

WILL LET US KNOW
WHAT SHE REALLY WANTS TO DO?

NO! THE CHAIR
INDUCES A STATE

WHERE SHE DECIDES FOR HERSELF
WHAT SHE REALLY WANTS TO DO.

HEY, GUYS.
SORRY, UH, THAT I'M LATE.

WHAT'S... GOING ON?

WE HAVE A BRIDE
THAT'S SUFFERING FROM...

W-WAIT! NO! WAIT!
UM...

WE'RE GONNA HAVE TO TEST
THIS CONFIGURATION

BEFORE BRINGING THE CLIENT
BACK IN.

AND SAM HERE
HAS NOT HEARD ANYTHING,

SO SHE WOULD MAKE
A REALLY GOOD CANDIDATE.

WHY DO YOU NEED SAM?
'CAUSE...

THE PHENOMENON
ONLY SEEMS TO BE TRIGGERED

WHEN THE SUBJECT DOESN'T KNOW
TO ANTICIPATE IT.

SAM? WOULD YOU MIND?

I-I...

SEEMS LIKE
THE LEAST SHE COULD DO.

RIGHT, SAM?

THIS IS SO WEIRD.
I CAN SEE YOU TOUCHING ME,

BUT IT FEELS LIKE
IT'S A DIFFERENT VERSION OF ME,

LIKE... THE ME
IN FRONT OF THE REAL ME.

Seeing yourself through goggles

causes something called
temporoparietal disassociation.

It's basically like having
an out-of-body experience.

While this is usually a product
of near-death experience,

turns out, we can use it
as a cue to help kick one off.

NOW, WHEN
THE EXPERIMENT STARTS,

I WANT YOU
TO FOCUS ON THESE

AND TRY TO CREATE
AS MANY DIFFERENT WORDS

IN YOUR IMAGINATION
BY REARRANGING LETTERS

AS YOU CAN.

OKAY.

She's ready.
Let's do it!

Okay.
Here's what's gonna happen.

The word puzzle
will distract Sam

as we perform the procedure.

When she starts to feel dizzy,

everything inside her goggles

will fade
to a bright white light...

Another cue to the brain
to trigger the surge.

And when she faints,

you two help me
bring her to the floor.

Wait.
She's gonna faint?
Yes.

I'm gonna apply
bilateral carotid sinus massage,

triggering a vasovagal response.

He's gonna apply pressure
to the same nerve

that causes some people
to pass out...

Don't do it to me!
Sorry.

As she starts to faint,

I'll imply that she's having
an abnormal reaction, okay?

Which will produce fear,

which seems to be
the final ingredient

in producing
a full near-death experience.

Every time you say
"near-death experience,"
I get a little chill.

Oh, yes!
No, no.
Not in a good way.

Now, are you sure
you guys know what you're doing?

Yeah?

Okay.

UM...

STUNT.

SHUNT.

SHANT. "SHANT."
IS THAT EVEN A WORD?

OHH.
IT'S LIKE WATCHING...

Clark: SAM, JUST FOCUS
ON THE WORDS, OKAY?

OH, RIGHT. RIGHT.
OKAY.

SLANT... WHOA.

WHOA. I FEEL DIZZY.

SAM.
[ MURMURS ]

[ Distorted ]
SAM, LISTEN TO ME.

YOU'RE HAVING
AN ABNORMAL... REACTION.

Sam.

Easy, easy, easy.

Here we go.

Okay.

Miles:
POSITIVE SIGNS OF A SURGE.

Clark: SAM.

HEY.
[ GASPS ]

IT'S OKAY.

YOU'RE FINE.

OKAY.

DO YOU WANT TO SIT UP?

NO, I THINK I JUST WANT
TO LAY HERE FOR A LITTLE WHILE.

ABSOLUTELY.

SAM?

THEY JUST WANTED ME TO MAKE SURE
THAT YOU WERE OKAY.

HARD TO SAY.

WHAT WAS
SUPPOSED TO HAPPEN?

WELL, IT WAS SUPPOSED TO FEEL
LIKE YOU HAD ALMOST DIED.

YOU WERE SUPPOSED TO
GET A SUDDEN SENSE

OF RENEWED PURPOSE
AND CLARITY AND...

REMEMBER THE THINGS
THAT YOU REALLY CARE ABOUT.

[ EXHALES ] WELL,
I'M GUESSING IT DIDN'T WORK.

OTHERWISE, YOU'D BE TELLING ME
YOU'D CHANGED YOUR PLANS...

ROSS, I'M NOT HAVING THIS
CONVERSATION WITH YOU AGAIN.

I CAN HELP YOU.
JUST TELL ME WHAT I CAN...
NO. NO.

THIS IS THE ONLY WAY
I CAN GET OUT OF THIS...

IT'S NOT.
IT'S THE EASY WAY.

AND YOU DON'T
HAVE TO GO THROUGH WITH IT.

I THINK THAT...

MAYBE I DO.

I THINK THAT MAYBE
IT'S JUST WHO I AM.

[ SIGHS ] SAM...
WHEN I WAS A KID,

MY DAD USED TO CON
WEALTHY WOMEN

OUT OF ALL THEIR MONEY.

THAT'S WHAT I WAS THINKING ABOUT
WHEN YOU JUST WALKED UP...

HOW HE WOULD CHARM HIS WAY
INTO THEIR LIVES,

SUCK THEM DRY,
AND THEN JUST DISAPPEAR.

AND I MEAN, THE THING IS,
MOST OF THEM WERE JUST AWFUL.

SAW ME AS SOME BRAT
WHO GOT IN THE WAY.

BUT THERE WAS
THIS ONE WOMAN,

WHEN WE WERE LIVING
IN TUCSON...

EILEEN...

SHE WAS DIFFERENT.

SHE WAS LIKE...

LIKE A REAL MOM.

I DIDN'T UNDERSTAND
WHY WE COULDN'T JUST STAY,

WHY THIS ONE TIME,
WE COULDN'T MAKE THE LIE REAL.

BUT THAT WASN'T
HOW DAD WORKED.

"REAL" WASN'T INTERESTING
TO HIM.

EVENTUALLY, EVEN I WASN'T
INTERESTING TO HIM.

SO ONE DAY...
[ SNIFFLES ]

A COUPLE DAYS
BEFORE IT CAME DOWN,

DAD TELLS EILEEN
THAT HE'S GOING

ON SOME BUSINESS TRIP
TO NEW YORK...

WHEN REALLY,
HE WAS STILL IN TUCSON...

A COUPLE OF MILES AWAY
IN SOME CRAPPY MOTEL,

IRONING OUT
ALL THE DETAILS.

AND EILEEN
SUSPECTED SOMETHING.

I MEAN, SHE KNEW
THAT SOMETHING WASN'T RIGHT.

SO, ONE DAY,
SHE JUST PULLS ME ASIDE

AND SHE ASKS ME,
POINT-BLANK...

IS MY DAD
REALLY IN NEW YORK?

AND THE THING IS...

I MEAN,
I COULD HAVE TOLD HER.

I-I... COULD HAVE TOLD HER
THE TRUTH AND SAVED HER,

AND MAYBE...

JUST MAYBE
SHE WOULD'VE SAVED ME, YOU KNOW?

TAKEN ME IN, RAISED ME.

I WOULD'VE
TURNED OUT GREAT.

DIFFERENT.

BUT I DIDN'T.

I TOLD HER
THAT DAD WAS IN NEW YORK.

AND THREE DAYS LATER,

WE DISAPPEARED
WITH MOST OF HER SAVINGS.

THAT'S WHO I AM, ROSS.

[ SIGHS ]

I'M THE GIRL
THAT PICKS WRONG.

I'M THE GIRL
THAT SAYS "NEW YORK"

TO PROTECT A LIE,

WHERE A DECENT HUMAN BEING
WOULD SAY "TUCSON"

TO PROTECT
EVERYTHING ELSE.

[ SIGHS ]

SAM! SAM!

ROSS, PLEASE!

I'M NOT GONNA LET YOU
DO IT.
WE'VE BEEN OVER THIS!

I'M GONNA TELL MILES
RIGHT NOW.

IF YOU GOT TO TELL CLARK,
THEN THAT'S WHAT YOU GOT TO DO,

BUT I'M NOT GONNA
LET THE MISTAKES OF MY PAST

KEEP FORCING ME
TO MAKE NEW ONES.

YOU SHOULD THINK
ABOUT THE SAME THING.

YOU DON'T UNDERSTAND.

WELL, THEN MAKE ME UNDERSTAND.
OKAY? I WANT TO.

WHATEVER IT IS,
I WILL HELP YOU SOLVE IT,

BUT YOU'RE NOT GONNA USE
MILES' MONEY.

THAT IS OFF THE TABLE.
DO YOU UNDERSTAND?

[ SCREAMS ]

[ TIRES SCREECH ]
WHAT ARE YOU DOING?!

LISTEN.
THERE'S NO NEED FOR ALARM.

I'M JUST TAKING YOUR FRIEND HERE
FOR A LITTLE TIME-OUT

SO THAT HE DON'T
WANDER INTO ANYTHING.

JUST DO WHAT YOU'RE SUPPOSED TO
DO, AND HE'LL BE FINE.

GOOD GIRL.
NOW, GET THIS DONE.

NATE.

Sam: ROSS!

ROSS!!

[ PANTING ]

ARE YOU INSANE?!
IT WASN'T MY IDEA.

THEN TELL VINCENT THAT
HE'S GOT TO LET HIM GO NOW.

HE DOESN'T WANT ROSS.

HE JUST WANTS HIM OUT OF THE WAY
UNTIL WE'RE DONE.

THEN WHY DIDN'T YOU
STOP HIM?

MR. VINCENT IS NOT EXACTLY
THE KIND OF PERSON WE CAN STOP!

THE FASTEST WAY...
THE ONLY WAY... TO GET ROSS BACK

IS TO FINISH THIS!

[ CELLPHONE RINGS ]

THANKS, ANDY.

HELLO?
MARTIN: Mr. Hood.

SPEAKING.
WHO'S THIS?

Mr. Hood,
my name is Royce Powell.

I'm the electronic-banking
fraud-protection specialist

here at Chicago Federal.

I'M CALLING
BECAUSE WE BELIEVE

one of your accounts
has been compromised.
OH, MY GOD.

DOES THE NAME OLIVER KING
MEAN ANYTHING TO YOU?

I KNEW IT.
I KNEW IT.

RATHER THAN GET INTO THIS
ON THE PHONE,

WE'D LIKE TO GET YOU
DOWN TO OUR BRANCH RIGHT AWAY.

Vincent: ROSS.

YOU'VE GIVEN ME
SOME CONCERNS.

AH! [ GASPS ]

YOU SEE,
FROM WHERE I'M LOOKING,

I KNOW YOU'RE
THE ONE TIED UP,

BUT I FEEL LIKE I'M THE ONE
WHO'S BEING DONE OVER HERE.

I DON'T KNOW
WHAT YOU'RE TALKING ABOUT.

WELL... DON'T GO THERE.

SEE, I THINK I'VE PUT IT
ALL TOGETHER.

YOU'RE A CON MAN.

SO I FIGURED YOU'VE CREATED
THIS NONSENSE LITTLE FIRM

AS PART OF SOME PLAN

SO THAT YOU CAN SHAKE DOWN
THIS MILLIONAIRE KID MILES.

BUT FAIR IS FAIR, ROSS.

WE CAME UP WITH A WAY
TO GET TO HIM FIRST.

I MEAN, IF YOU SAW
WHAT WE HAD GOING,

YOU'D BE IMPRESSED.

WE'VE BUILT A FAKE BANK
THAT I'D LEAVE MY MONEY IN

IF I DIDN'T KNOW
NO BETTER.

Martin: MR. HOOD.
ROYCE POWELL.

I'M SORRY TO MEET
UNDER THESE CIRCUMSTANCES,

BUT I THINK WE'VE GOT
A HANDLE ON IT.

SHALL WE BEGIN?

NOW, THESE WILL
SIMPLY ALLOW US

TO MOVE THE FUNDS
FROM THE COMPROMISED ACCOUNT

TO A NEW SAFE ONE.
AND IF YOU SIGN...

HERE AND HERE

AND ENTER THE OLD PASSWORD.

WE'VE GOT HIM SO WORRIED THIS
OLIVER KID WAS TAKING HIS CASH,

HE'S JUST GONNA HAND IT
TO US.

I EVEN PULLED OUT
THE BIG GUNS.

HI. KEN JENKINS. FBI.

LOOK, WE'RE WORKING
AS QUICKLY AS WE CAN

TO HUNT THIS GUY DOWN.

BUT ANY INFORMATION THAT
YOU'D BE ABLE TO PROVIDE US

WOULD CERTAINLY ACCELERATE
THE PROCESS.

YEAH, OF COURSE.
I JUST...

I-I ONLY MET HIM
A COUPLE WEEKS AGO.

WELL, HOW DID YOU MEET?

A FRIEND INTRODUCED US.

OH, CAN WE GET THIS FRIEND
IN HERE?

Vincent: NOW, I KNOW YOU'RE
NOT HAPPY SAM JOINED OUR TEAM.

YEAH.

MARTIN: You're up.

BUT YOU CAN'T BLAME HER
FOR GOING WITH THE WINNERS.

Ken: UH, MR HOOD?

I-I'D LIKE A FEW MINUTES
WITH YOU NOW, PLEASE.

MILES, I'M SO SORRY.

I-I TOLD THEM EVERYTHING
THAT I REMEMBERED.

I-I'M JUST SO HAPPY
THAT THEY STOPPED IT.

I DIDN'T MEAN FOR ANY OF THIS
TO HAPPEN.

MILES?

VERY NICE.

Ken: LOOK, I'M SURE
THAT YOU'RE UPSET,

BUT FOR THE RECORD,
YOUR FRIEND WAS VERY HELPFUL.

YEAH. WELL...

OKAY, NOW, FOR US TO CATCH
THIS GUY,

IT'S ESSENTIAL THAT
YOU NOT TALK ABOUT THIS

TO ANYONE OUTSIDE
OF THIS ROOM.

WE ABSOLUTELY DON'T WANT HIM
TO KNOW THAT WE'RE ON TO HIM.

IS THAT CLEAR?

YES. OF COURSE.
YES.

OKAY. NOW, HERE'S HOW
THIS IS GONNA WORK.

YOUR MONEY IS BEING MOVED
TO A NEW SAFE ACCOUNT.

THEN WE'RE GONNA UNFREEZE
YOUR CURRENT ACCOUNT...

Vincent: SO I'M SITTING
HERE THINKING

WE'VE DOTTED EVERY "I"
AND CROSSED EVERY "T,"

AND JUST TO MAKE SURE
THERE'S NO PROBLEMS,

I'VE GIVEN YOU A TIME-OUT.

I'M ACTUALLY FEELING
PRETTY GOOD.

EXCEPT...

THIS MORNING, YOUR PHONE

IS FLOODED WITH TEXT MESSAGES
FROM CLARK.

HE'S ASKING,
"WHERE ARE YOU?

WE HAVE TO START
THIS N.D.E. THING NOW."

NOTHING FROM SAM OR MILES.

I'VE LEFT ROSS 15 MESSAGES,
MAYBE AS MANY TEXTS.

TWO DAYS IN A ROW...
TH-THIS IS UNBELIEVABLE.

YOU KNOW KAREN'S
OUT THERE, RIGHT?

YES, I DO KNOW, LATRELL.
WHAT I DON'T SEEM TO UNDERSTAND

IS WHY THE REST
OF OUR STAFF ISN'T!

SHOULD I RESCHEDULE HER?

[ CELLPHONE CHIMES ]
NO. WAIT.

IT'S ROSS.

WELL, I TEXT HIM BACK
ON YOUR BEHALF,

SAYING YOU'RE BUSY.

THAT'S YOUR ANSWER?!
"I'M BUSY"?!

YOU KNOW WHAT, ROSS?
WE'RE ALL BUSY.

BUT SOME OF US ARE BUSY
AT WORK,

WHERE WE'RE SUPPOSED TO BE.

YOU KNOW WHAT?
YOU SCHEDULED THIS APPOINTMENT.
CLARK?

SHE'S A FRIEND OF
A FRIEND OF... WHAT?

HOLD ON.

YOU KNOW HE CAN'T
HEAR YOU, RIGHT?

YES.

JUST BRING HER IN.
THE THREE OF US WILL DO IT.

THEN IT CLICKS.

MAYBE THIS IS THE PLAN.

MAYBE YOU'VE GOT US HERE
WORRIED ABOUT YOU

SO THAT I'D THINK MY BOYS ARE
FREE TO CARRY OUT THE PLAN.

BUT REALLY, YOU'RE JUST
SOME SORT OF DISTRACTION

SO THAT CLARK CAN DO
THIS N.D.E. THING

AND STEAL MILES' MONEY
FROM UNDER OUR FEET.

HOW'D I DO?

I'D SAY YOU...

PRETTY MUCH GOT EVERYTHING PAST
"I'M A CON MAN"

SPECTACULARLY WRONG.

WRONG?

SPECTACULARLY WRONG?

WHAT PART DID I GET WRONG?

ALL OF IT?

ALL OF IT?
NOW, NOW, HOLD ON A MINUTE.

WHAT ABOUT CLARK?

WHAT ARE YOU TWO PLANNING

SO THAT YOU GET THERE
BEFORE US?

NO, NO, NO. WE'RE...
WE'RE NOT PLANNING ANYTHING.

N.D.E. HAS NOTHING TO DO
WITH MILES.

ALL RIGHT. JOE?

WE'RE NOT
PLANNING ANYTHING!

HEY!
GET AHOLD OF HIM. I'M GONNA PUT
A HOLE IN HIS HEAD.

NO! WAIT! OH!
[ DRILL WHIRS ]

LISTEN TO ME! WAIT!
WHOA, WHOA, WHOA!

THERE IS... NO! NO! NO! NO!

WE'RE NOT TRYING TO STEAL
ANYTHING FROM MILES!

THERE'S A REAL BUSINESS!
IT'S REAL!

IT'S REAL! I SWEAR!
[ GASPING ]

[ WHIRRING STOPS ]

UGH. AH.

A REAL BUSINESS?

TRYING TO INFLUENCE PEOPLE
INTO CHANGING THEIR MIND

AND THEY DON'T EVEN KNOW
THEY'RE DOING IT?

THERE'S NO SUCH THING.

THERE IS NOW.
[ PANTING ]

LET HIM GO.
AAH!

ALL RIGHT.

[ PANTING ]

TELL ME HOW IT WORKS.
GIVE ME AN EXAMPLE.

I-I'M MORE THE PUBLIC-RELATIONS
END OF IT.

I... IF I KNEW
HOW IT WORKED,

I WOULD HAVE INFLUENCED MY WAY
OUT OF THIS.

THE FACT THAT YOU CAN'T GIVE ME
A SIMPLE EXAMPLE

PROVES YOU'RE NOT
BEING HONEST.

JOE.
HEY! WAIT, WAIT. WAIT.
LOOK, LOOK.

LISTEN TO ME. LISTEN TO ME.
OKAY, OKAY. OKAY.

[ SIGHS ]

THERE'S A-A WOMAN...

KAREN, I THINK.

S-SHE'S HAVING PROBLEMS
WITH HER WEDDING.

CAN'T DECIDE
WHAT SHE WANTS TO DO.

CLARK AND MILES... THEY...
THEY CAME UP WITH THIS...

THIS PROCEDURE... THE N.D.E.
THING THAT HE TEXTED ABOUT.

OKAY?

NOW, SHE THINKS THAT SHE
IS PLAYING WORD PUZZLES.

WELL, I'M NOT...
I DON'T FEEL...

KAREN.
KAREN, LISTEN TO ME.

YOU'RE HAVING
AN ADVERSE REACTION

TO THE NEOCORTICAL
STIMULATION.
I WHAT?

YOU NEED TO FOCUS
ON MY VOICE, KAREN.

WHOA, WHOA, WHOA.

[ DISTORTED VOICE ]

BUT WHAT'S REALLY HAPPENING

IS THAT IT'S CLEARING
EVERYTHING ELSE AWAY

AND SHOWING HER
WHAT SHE REALLY CARES ABOUT.

THEN SHE'S FREE TO...

TO SEE WHAT SHE REALLY
WANTS TO DO.

N.D.E....
WHAT DOES THAT MEAN?

NEAR-DEATH EXPERIENCE.

SO YOU'RE GIVING BRIDES-TO-BE
NEAR-DEATH EXPERIENCE,

AND YOU'RE CALLING THAT
A LEGITIMATE BUSINESS?

I DON'T KNOW
HOW THE THING WORKS, OKAY?

BUT I'M TELLING YOU...
WE JUST...

WE DO WEIRD STUFF LIKE THIS
ALL THE TIME!

AND SHE JUST
WAKES UP... FINE?

THEORETICALLY.
AAAH!

OH!
Clark: KAREN! WHOA!

OH. NO, NO!
STOP!
WHOA, WHOA.
IT'S OKAY, IT'S OKAY.

JUST RELAX. RELAX.
STOP IT.

Y-YOU JUST FAINTED
FOR A SECOND.
OKAY.

JUST RELAX, OKAY?
ALL RIGHT. THAT WAS IT.

THAT WAS THE THING,
THE THING THAT WAS
SUPPOSED TO GET ME TO FEEL.

I FEEL... HOW DID YOU KNOW
HOW I'D FEEL?

IF YOU JUST SIT DOWN,
WE CAN EXPLAIN.
YOU KNOW WHAT?

I'M GONNA GO.

UM... I SHOULD, UH...
I'M GONNA CALL JEFF.

I'M GONNA CALL JEFF.
THANK YOU.

[ FOOTSTEPS DEPART ]

HUH.

SOMETIMES
THE, UH, PROCEDURE

PRODUCES
A FIGHT-OR-FLIGHT RESPONSE.

DIDN'T OCCUR TO YOU
TO MENTION THAT BEFORE, CLARK?

I DIDN'T... NO.
I SHOULD WRITE THAT DOWN.

SHE REALLY TOOK YOU
OFF YOUR FEET, DIDN'T SHE?

I TRIPPED.

DID SHE JUST SAY
SHE WAS GONNA CALL JEFF?

IT ONLY MAKES SENSE THAT
SHE'D REACH OUT TO HER FIANCé.

THAT'S NOT HER FIANCé.
IT'S NOT?

SEAN IS HER FIANCé.
JEFF IS THE BEST MAN.

OH, NO.

YOU DID SAY IT WOULD POINT HER
AT WHAT SHE WANTS.

AND WHAT ABOUT SAM?
YOU HIRED HER.

J-JUST TO WORK THERE.
I...

I HAD NO IDEA
SHE HAD OTHER PLANS.

YOU DIDN'T KNOW
SHE WAS A CON?

[ BREATHES DEEPLY ]

I THOUGHT SHE'D CHANGED.

[ LAUGHS ]
FEMALES...

THEY'LL GET YOU EVERY TIME
RIGHT IN THE HEART.

[ SIGHS ]

RELAX.

A CERTAIN AMOUNT OF NERVES
LOOKS REAL.

BEYOND THAT LOOKS GUILTY.

I'M REALLY NOT INTERESTED
IN YOUR POINTERS, THANKS.

LOOK, I'M JUST SAYING,

I DON'T WANT SIX WEEKS' WORTH
OF WORK TO GO DOWN THE DRAIN

BECAUSE
YOU GOT THE SHAKES.

SO GET YOURSELF...
WHAT DID YOU JUST SAY?

I SAID I...
MARTIN!

[ MUFFLED SCREAMING ]
OKAY. LET'S GO.

LET'S GO, LET'S GO.
OKAY. OPEN THE DOOR.

LET ME GO!

WHAT THE HELL
IS GOING ON?!

SHE WAS...
LET HER GO, NATE!
LET HER GO!

YOU SON OF A BITCH.

WHAT IS GOING ON
WITH YOU?!

SIX WEEKS. SIX WEEKS.
YOU'VE BEEN SETTING ME UP

BEFORE YOU EVEN SHOWED UP
AT MY FRONT DOOR.

HOW COULD YOU DO
THIS TO ME?

HOW COULD I? [ SCOFFS ]
HOW COULD YOU?

WHAT ARE YOU TALKING ABOUT?
I DIDN'T DO ANYTHING.

THAT'S EXACTLY RIGHT.
YOU DID NOTHING.

I PRACTICALLY RAISED YOU.

YOU WOULD BE DEAD OR IN PRISON
RIGHT NOW IF IT WASN'T FOR ME.

AND HOW DO YOU THANK ME? BY
TOSSING ME AWAY LIKE A DIRTY RAG

WITHOUT SO MUCH
AS A PHONE CALL.
SO YOU MAKE ME YOUR MARK?

YOU MAKE ME BELIEVE
THEY'RE GONNA KILL YOU,

WHEN YOU'VE ACTUALLY CHOSEN
A MANIAC LIKE VINCENT
TO PARTNER UP WITH?

I THOUGHT
IF WE DID ONE LAST JOB,

YOU MIGHT REMEMBER
WHERE YOU REALLY BELONG.

AND IF YOU DIDN'T...

ONE DECENT SCORE WAS THE
LEAST YOU COULD GIVE ME,
ALL I'VE DONE FOR YOU.

YOU BASTARD. I'M NOT LETTING YOU
GET AWAY WITH THIS.

YES, YOU ARE.

ROSS IS SOMEWHERE RIGHT NOW
QUIETLY INSISTING ON IT.

AND WHAT ABOUT THE BRIDE?

DID THIS N.D.E. THING
SOLVE HER PROBLEM?

HOW DO I KNOW? YOU SAW
THE TEXTS. I'M MISSING IT.

YEAH, YOU ARE.

NOW I FEEL BAD.

YOU KNOW WHAT?

I THINK WE'LL DO
AN EXPERIMENT OF OUR OWN.

WHAT?

NOW, JOE, THIS IS
A NEAR-DEATH EXPERIENCE, OKAY?

DON'T GO THE FULL WAY.
WE WANT TO HEAR WHAT HE SAYS.
NO, NO!

NEED TO HEAR ABOUT...
HEY! NO, NO!
IT'S A SIMULATION.

I WANT TO KNOW HE'S OKAY.
ROSS IS FINE!

IT'S SIMULATED!
Vincent:
DON'T WORRY ABOUT THAT.

THINK I'M GONNA BELIEVE A WORD
THAT COMES OUT OF YOUR MOUTH?
HE'S NOT...

I WANT TO TALK TO HIM.

I DON'T CARE
HOW YOUR BROTHER DOES IT.

WE ARE VERY EXPERIENCED
IN THIS AREA.

[ CELLPHONE RINGS ]
GO AHEAD, JOE.

[ ROSS CHOKING ]

YEAH? EVERYTHING OKAY?
SHE WANTS TO TALK TO HIM.

WELL, HE'S A BIT BUSY
AT THE MOMENT.

WELL, YOU TELL HIM

THAT I'M NOT DOING ANYTHING
UNTIL I KNOW HE'S OKAY.

OKAY, WELL,
WE'LL PLAY THIS OLD GAME.

SHE GIVES ME A QUESTION
ONLY HE KNOWS,

I GET THE ANSWER,
THEN YOU CAN FINISH UP.

YOU CAN ASK A QUESTION
ONLY ROSS CAN ANSWER.

YOU GET YOUR ANSWER,
WE FINISH UP.

DEAL?

ASK HIM WHERE HE SAID

he wanted to go on vacation.

JOE!

I SAID "NEAR-DEATH EXPERIENCE"!
THIS IS AN EXPERIMENT!

GET HIM UP!

ROSS?
ROSS, ROSS.

I HAVE SAM
ON THE PHONE.
[ COUGHS ]

COME ON, ROSS.

SHE'S GOT A QUESTION
FOR YOU.

YOU HEAR ME?
SHE'S WORRIED ABOUT YOU.

SHE WANTS TO KNOW

WHERE YOU WERE PLANNING
TO TAKE YOUR VACATION.

COME ON, ROSS.

TELL HER...
IT WAS NEW YORK ONCE...

BUT IT'S NOT TOO LATE
TO CHOOSE TUCSON.

HE SAID
IT WAS NEW YORK ONCE,

but it's never too late
to choose Tucson.

HEY!

DO WE HAVE A PROBLEM
OUT HERE?

YOU GOOD?

I AM.

Vincent: SO, HOW WAS
OUR LITTLE EXPERIMENT?

DID IT WORK?
[ PANTING ]

I DON'T KNOW YET.

YES?
HI.
[ DOG BARKS ]

WHOA. HEY. WHOA! WHOA!
WHOA! OH, MY GOD.

HEY! ANDY! ANDY! NO!
NO, NO. GET BACK! GET BACK!

NO! [ SIGHS ]
[ CHUCKLES ]

[ SIGHS ]
[ CHUCKLES ] SORRY.

HEY, UH, THAT'S OKAY.

UH, HI.
I'M CLARK EDWARDS.

I-I WAS DOING
SOME WORK EARLIER WITH KAREN,

AND JUST WONDERING IF I COULD
TALK TO HER FOR A FEW MINUTES.

SHE'S NOT HERE.

I'VE LEFT HER LOTS OF MESSAGES,
CALLED HER FRIENDS.

NO ONE'S HEARD FROM HER.

MY FRIEND JEFF'S
GONE RADIO SILENT, TOO.

WHAT'S GOING ON? WHA...
[ CELLPHONE RINGS ]

WHO IS THI... OH.
IT'S... IT'S FINE.

[ EXHALES SHARPLY ]
THERE SHE IS. HELLO?

[ SIGHS ] THANK GOD.
I WAS STARTING TO WORRY.

SOME GUY IS HERE,
AND HE SAID THAT YOU...

YEAH, I GUESS.

IS EVERYTHING OKAY?

YEAH.

I-I'LL SEE YOU
IN A FEW MINUTES.

SO, WHAT'S GOING ON?

SHE SAYS WE NEED TO TALK.
WANTS ME TO COME MEET HER.

[ DOG BARKING ]
YOU KNOW WHAT?

I-I THINK,
IF IT'S OKAY WITH YOU,

I THINK IT WOULD BE BEST

IF I JUST TALKED TO HER
FOR A FEW MINUTES

AND MADE SURE
THAT SHE WAS ABSOLUTELY CERTAIN

ABOUT ANY... CHANGES
THAT SHE MIGHT WANT TO MAKE.

[ ELEVATOR BELL DINGS ]
WHAT EXACTLY IS IT YOU DO?

AT THE MOMENT,

SORT OF
THE WEDDING-PLANNING INDUSTRY.

[ COUGHS ]
OH, MY GOD.

ARE YOU HURT?

WHAT... WHAT THE HELL
ARE YOU DOING HERE?

I WANTED TO SEE
THAT YOU WERE OKAY.

YOU WANTED TO SEE
IF I WAS O...

I WANT YOU
TO GET OUT OF MY LIFE.

I WANT YOU
FAR, FAR AWAY, SAM.
I DIDN'T DO IT.

I DIDN'T DO IT.

YES, YOU DID. OTHERWISE,
I WOULDN'T BE STANDING HERE.

THE TRANSFER FOR MILES
DID GO THROUGH.

YOU'RE RIGHT.

THAT'S WHY
YOU'RE STANDING HERE.

BUT THE BANK
DOESN'T ACTUALLY MOVE THE MONEY

TILL TOMORROW MORNING,
SO WHEN THEY GO TO DO IT,

THEY'LL NOTICE
THAT THE ORDER'S BEEN CHANGED.

VINCENT AND MARTIN
WILL WAKE UP TO DISCOVER

THAT ALL THAT MONEY'S BEEN
TRANSFERRED TO A NEW ACCOUNT.

MINE.

SO YOU WENT FROM STEALING
FOR THEM TO UPGRADING...

WHAT THEY'LL NEVER SEE
IS WHERE THAT MONEY WENT

AFTER IT WENT
INTO MY ACCOUNT...

RIGHT BACK TO MILES.

THEY'LL THINK
THAT I'M SITTING

ON A BEACH SOMEWHERE
WITH HIS TRUST FUND.

BUT THE NEXT TIME MILES
GOES TO CHECK HIS BALANCE,

EVERY LAST PENNY
WILL BE THERE.

WHAT ARE YOU...
I-I DON'T UNDERSTAND
WHAT YOU'RE SAYING.

IT MAY HAVE TAKEN ME
20 YEARS,

BUT I FINALLY PICKED
THE PEOPLE THAT LOVE ME

OVER THE ONES THAT USE ME.

I'M JUST SORRY
I DID IT TOO LATE.

SOUNDS LIKE YOU DIDN'T.

I MEAN, YOU...
YOU DID IT EXACTLY WHEN
YOU WERE SUPPOSED TO.

YOU PUT THE MONEY BACK.
BUT SEE? THAT'S THE THING.

ROSS, I CAN'T
JUST PUT THE MONEY BACK.

THAT WOULDN'T MAKE
ANY SENSE TO THEM.

NO, THEY NEED TO THINK
THAT I TOOK IT,

THAT I SCREWED EVERYONE,
YOU INCLUDED,

AND MADE OFF WITH IT ALL.

WHY?

SO THEY'LL COME AFTER ME.

ONLY ME.

WHICH MEANS
THAT I NEED TO BE LONG GONE

BY THE TIME
THEY FIGURE IT OUT.

SO I WAS HOPING

MAYBE YOU COULD TAKE ME
TO THE AIRPORT.

[ SCOFFS ]

SAM, THERE'S GOT
TO BE SOMETHING ELSE.

I'VE HAD TO RUN
SO MANY TIMES.

THE ONE THING I'VE NEVER GOTTEN
IS A PROPER GOODBYE.

SO, PLEASE,
JUST THIS ONCE...

CAN IT BE DIFFERENT?

HEY, UM, THANKS.

JUST ONE MINUTE, OKAY?
THANK YOU.

DR. EDWARDS?

CAN WE CHAT, PLEASE?
YEAH.

JUST ONE SECOND.
UH...

IT'S OKAY.
THANK YOU.

LOOK, KAREN.
[ CAR DOOR CLOSES ]

I KNOW
YOU MUST BE FEELING

SOME INTENSE THINGS
AT THIS MOMENT,

BUT BEFORE YOU MAKE

SOME RADICAL,
LIFE-ALTERING DECISION,

I-I REALLY...
I THINK WE SHOULD SIT DOWN

AND... AND TALK THROUGH
YOUR FEELINGS, OKAY?

IT'S OKAY, DR. EDWARDS.
I... THIS IS WHAT I WANT.

I'VE NEVER BEEN MORE SURE
OF ANYTHING IN MY LIFE.

LOOK. I'M NOT SURE THROWING OFF
ONE GUY TO CHASE ANOTHER

IS THE HEALTHIEST...
WAIT.

WHAT ARE YOU TALKING ABOUT?

I-I DON'T KNOW. WAIT.

YOU... YOU WERE LOOKING
FOR JEFF,

AND THEN... AND THEN...

YOU THOUGHT
I WAS RUNNING AWAY WITH JEFF?

Y-YES.

OH, MY GOSH.
THAT'S HILARIOUS. NO.

JEFF IS SEAN'S BEST FRIEND
IN THE WORLD, DR. EDWARDS.

I WOULD NEVER ASK HIM
TO MARRY ME

WITHOUT HAVING JEFF THERE.

WAIT. I-I'M CONFUSED.

I'M GETTING MARRIED.
RIGHT NOW.

IN THIS PARK.

I MEAN,
ASSUMING SEAN SAYS YES.

SEE,
THAT'S WHAT I REALIZED...

THAT WHAT I WANTED,
WHEN IT GOT RIGHT DOWN TO IT,

WAS JUST HIM.

AND WHEN I KNEW THAT,

EVERYTHING ELSE WAS EASY.

ALMOST.

I-I STILL HAVE TO GET
MY MOTHER AND JEFF

AND SOME ORDAINED GUY
FROM THE INTERNET

WHO SAID
HE WAS FREE IN TWO HOURS.

Sean: I'M SORRY...

BUT CAN SOMEONE PLEASE TELL ME
WHAT THE HELL IS GOING ON?

[ CHUCKLES LIGHTLY ]

[ INHALES DEEPLY ]

HONEY [SIGHS] I WAS HOPING

I COULD INTEREST YOU
IN A SLIGHT CHANGE OF PLANS.

[ SIGHS ]

YOU SURE
YOU WANT TO DO THIS?

THAT'S THE FUNNY THING.
I AMSURE.

MY WHOLE LIFE,

I'VE TAKEN
THE EASY WAY OUT.

AND MY WHOLE LIFE,
I'VE HAD TO LIVE

WITH THE DOUBT
AND THE REGRET.

BUT I PICK THE HARD WAY
JUST ONCE,

AND THE SECOND I DID IT,
IT BECAME EASY.

IT FIT, YOU KNOW?

IT WAS LIKE
TUMBLERS IN A LOCK

THAT I'D BEEN TRYING TO PICK
IN ALL THE WRONG WAYS.

AND I THOUGHT, "OH.

SO THIS IS WHAT
IT'S SUPPOSED TO FEEL LIKE."

SO AT LEAST I KNOW
WHAT I'M LOOKING FOR NOW.

[ SIGHS ]

IF I DON'T GO,
I'M GONNA MISS MY FLIGHT.

GOODBYE, ROSS.

GOODBYE, SAM.

AND WHO KNOWS?

MAYBE SOMEDAY,
WE BOTH END UP IN TUCSON.
