Previously on "Mind Games"...

- What the hell is she doing here?
- Who's that?

My ex-wife. Our new office manager!

Claire calms me down, Ross.
She's like a magic feather.

With a job like this,

I could use what I know
but stay out of trouble.

Sam, I'd love to help
you out, but right now,

we can't even afford to
pay for our light bulbs.

You paid me to get Clark to fall for me.

You didn't say I wasn't
allowed to fall for him.

I know you! You're Beth's friend, Ross.

You claimed you met Beth for
the first time in the lobby.

My brother... he'll be here any second.

He's r... really excited to meet you guys.

We were gonna put some music in here.

The office... so it wasn't so quiet.

Also, music...

activates a... a certain...

There he is! Thank God!

- Ross...
- Not right now.

Guess we... let's start.

- Peekaboo.
- I always sucked at hide-and-seek.

Until recently,

- I would just stand there with my eyes closed...
- Ross...

and try to be invisible.

- What are you doing here?
- Clark hired me.

Look, I... I went to
him because I was afraid

it would be an awkward
conversation for you.

'Cause I had already said no.

And that was awkward for you. I could tell.

But Clark said that you would
yell at him for hiring me.

He said that you don't have any
faith in his decision-making.

- So if you're gonna say no...
- Again.

... just say it now, and I'll leave.

I seriously don't want to cause
any problems between you guys.

No.

Oh.

I mean, no, no, it's fine.

Really?

- Yeah.
- Re... oh, well, thank you.

Seriously. No, j... just don't...

don't tell Clark that I told you.

You know, let him do it his way.

She was such a normal, happy girl.

She had friends. She was getting
almost all A's at Northwestern.

This video was shot last week.

It's a gift to us. The
earth is a gift to us.

Kids experiment. When I went to college...

You didn't go to college.

I went to college. I
just didn't keep going.

It's not college. It's him... Jonah Cain.

The earth is a gift to us!

If I gave you a gift and
then went to your home

and found that gift in the garbage

with the styrofoam plastic containers

and the animal bones,

well, that would make you a bad friend.

She went to one of his awareness workshops,

which is, I guess, how it starts.

At first, she would just
come home on the weekends

and tell us we were doing everything wrong,

like most kids, I guess.

- Most kids don't call their mother a murderer.
- Ah, yeah. The earth.

I was... I was murdering the earth.

And then she dropped out
of college because of him.

- We didn't even know till her best friend called...
- Gabriela.

... and asked if we'd heard from her.

So we hired a private investigator,

and he told us this Jonah forces his people

to cut off all ties to anybody they know.

She... she won't even speak to us.

She says we're not her family anymore.

She might as well be...

- ... gone.
- So it's like a cult.

No, it's not like a cult.

A cult is exactly what it is.

Maybe with no smiling?

It's a cult.

We have been studying cult
indoctrination on a microlevel for years.

And... and this guy's a textbook operator.

That's why I said, from day one,

we should go in there and take her back.

Except you being in jail doesn't
really solve the problem, does it?

Also... and please
understand we want to help you

any way possible, but Sofie is 18.

She's free to choose.

No, she's not.

- What?
- No. At least not in her own mind.

Guys like this Jonah...
they manipulate their victims

into feeling like they have no choice.

They prey on people in
high-stress situations...

kids in college, children of divorce.

They erode their sense of
self, maybe give them new names.

"Ocean." Apparently, she's Ocean now.

Hmm. Oh, look, look. You
see how he stands inside

the personal space of this kid,

- do you have any idea...
- Eroding his sense of self? See?

These tactics are elementary

but reliable and totally invisible.

- It's gone!
- Except to us.

We can use them to get your daughter out

the same way that he used
them to get her in, right?

Oh!

Like that game. Do you remember that game?

Operation... where you're trying to get

the wishbone out of the little hole,

but you don't want to...
you can't hit the sides,

'cause it's so... it's so stressful.

Do you remember that? It's the same.

But what if you could make
the wishbone come to you?

You could do that?

You can get our Sofie out

- and make her come home?
- Oh, better.

We can make her want to come home.

Beth?

Hey, Beth. What's up?

Claire called me last night.

She wants to have dinner tonight.

Why would she do that?
Does she know something?

Uh, no, of course not.

She works with Clark.

Probably just wants to get
to know his girlfriend better.

It's a good thing.

Just don't let her pick Lombardi's.

She thinks it's great, but it's not.

Bye.

- Hey!
- Hey. I got to get to work.

I got coffee from that place you like.

Oh. Thanks. I'm actually doing tea now.

W... why did you ask Beth to dinner?

Why would you care?

'Cause if you have a
question about something,

leave her out of it. Ask me.

Right, 'cause if there's anyone
I trust to tell me the truth,

Ross, it's you.

Try me.

Really?

Why did you lie to me about meeting Beth?

Are you having an affair with her?

What?! No! God!

She's my brother's girlfriend.
What is wrong with you?

Well, because you and I aren't together,

so if it were anyone else,
I probably wouldn't care,

- but because...
- No, no. It's nothing like that.

Okay. Then what?

Which is why I called Beth.

It's worse.

At least you'll think so.
Maybe it is. I don't know.

Tell me.

Just know I did it because I'm his brother.

I'm not some sociopath.

Well, there's no reason you can't be both.

To watch him in that stupid teaching job,

wasting his brain and his talent

on people who didn't even appreciate...

What did you do, Ross?

I paid Beth to get him fired.

Make him fall for her, have an affair

so he'd be free to work with me.

But... but here's the thing...
she gave back the money.

Where are you going? Claire!

- Claire.
- Where do you think I'm going, Ross?

I'm going to tell Clark.

- She gave the money...
- How can you possibly think that's the issue here?

Look at them. Clark is happy.
They're in love, Claire.

- How can you know that?
- Because I hired someone

to pretend to offer
money to file a lawsuit.

Oh, my God. It's just lies.

Everything out of your
mouth is lies and lies.

The point is, Clark is better off.

Great.

See? You want the truth.

Then you punish me for saying it!

Up. Me last!

- Claire!
- Hi.

Do you remember how I stopped eating bagels

because of when they
weren't perfectly round?

I couldn't concentrate,

so I'd nibble around the
edges until they were round.

- Yes.
- But then I couldn't eat them

because I'd have to spread the cream cheese

until it was exactly smooth so
I wasn't getting any work done?

Beth got a guy at the bagel store

to set aside two perfectly round
bagels for me every morning.

And you know that guy,

- the bagel guy?
- Yeah?

I think he's got a crush on
you, but you know what I say?

Who, who, who...

who cares?! I don't care!

She gets it.

Oh, man.

Everything all right?

Yeah, I think so. Claire?

Um...

Yes.

Yes.

- Great.
- Everything's great.

Everybody's great. Let's get to work.

- We've got to get a girl out of a cult.
- Yes.

Okay, you know what? I
should probably go, too.

Oh, sorry.

Geez. I'm sorry.

Do you still, uh, want
to get dinner tonight?

Oh. Um, yeah, actually, no.

I'm... I'm, uh... I'm not feeling so great.

- Maybe another night?
- Yeah.

Bye.

- Thanks.
- Shut up.

This is a two-part strategy.

Our operative Megan

made contact with your
daughter this morning.

Now, using specific behavioral cues,

she started to make Sofie bond with her,

but making Sofie think
that it was her own idea.

Did you know that after hurricane Katrina,

150% more money came in

from people whose name started with "K"?

See, we're programmed to like what's ours.

Hi.

You seem upset.

We even respond far better

to someone who just shares the
first letter of our own name.

- What's your name?
- Sandra.

So while Sofie thinks that
she's drawing Megan in,

Megan will actually be working on Sofie,

subconsciously blurring the
boundaries between them...

frequent touching, mimicry,

having an amazing amount
of experiences in common.

Maybe it all started when
my parents got a divorce.

Is this our fault?

What do you mean?

Our divorce.

- No. Come on.
- Maybe.

- No. No!
- Maybe.

The cult provides family structure.

Any experienced manipulator
will use a person's

need for family against them.

So, let's say your girl and
ours are buddies. What then?

We carve her away from the group.

Jonah's leading an
awareness workshop tonight...

- If you want to come.
- Yeah.

I already know I want to be a
part of what you guys are doing.

- Um, it's just...
- What?

My dad. I don't think I can just leave

without telling him where I went.

No, forget it. I...

Wait.

What if I go with you?

Yeah?

When the hook is set, she reels her in.

Megan uses emotional triggers...

words like "home," "family."

She'll talk about things
from Sofie's childhood

to stir up memories.

So, by the time Sofie's here,

on an unconscious level,

she's thinking about seeing you guys

and feeling positive about it.

Ooh! Sorry.

Wait. No, no, no, no.

Oh, my God. I used to love this song!

- No way.
- Yes.

Me, too.

Maybe we let her down.

You know, when she was little,
she used to sleep between us.

She was so safe in there.

She couldn't fall off the bed.

And then we got divorced.

It... it's like one day,

she had us both, and
the next day, sh... sh...

there was the edge of the bed.

I cannot wait to meet this guy.

No, he's amazing. You're gonna love Jonah.

- He's the most amazing man ever.
- Hi.

Ocean, who's your friend?

Jonah,

this is Sandra.

Sandra is very interested in the movement.

Is that what you're interested in, Sandra?

Or are you just trying to
make off with our Ocean here?

What's he talking about?

Um...

I don't... I don't... I don't know.

Hey.

- How did he spot you?
- I don't know.

Well, the techniques are proven,

so you must have done them wrong.

How do you know? You weren't there.

No, he's right. It's my fault.

No, it's my fault. I
underestimated our opponent.

It doesn't matter whose fault it is.

Now we know we're up against

someone way smarter about
this stuff than we thought.

We just need to figure another
way to get the girl out.

Yeah, except he told me to tell you

you'll never get her back now.

Because now he knows we're coming.

So we made it worse. Damn it!

I screwed up, and now I made it worse.

Claire!

All right, all right.
Let's isolate the problem.

Jonah knows that we're coming after Sofie,

so he's not gonna let her out of his sight.

So use it against him.

I'm sorry. Uh...

Am I not supposed to talk?
I'm kind of new at this.

No, you can talk.

All right, well, he's
watching the girl so hard

that he's left himself open.

So we make Jonah the target.

Yeah. So, um, what do we know about him?

Does he have a record or...

- I'm not sure.
- What about his background?

Seriously?

This is all the research
you did on your mark?

He's not a mark, and this is not a con job.

Do you have any idea what we're doing?

More importantly, do you?

- I'm sorry. Are you in meetings now?
- Apparently so.

Come on. We're just wasting time here.

I say we go in, we kidnap the girl,

then we do the mind tricks
once she's safe in hand.

Let me remind you that we
don't do anything illegal.

Now, I'll put up some signs
in the office, if that helps.

It's only illegal if we get caught.

- I'm just saying.
- Oh, good. That'll be a great poster for the lobby.

Ross is right! We can't
leave anything to chance.

I set us back. I got cocky.

And now we need a bulletproof,
multi-pronged attack

with strategies that we
haven't even tried before,

but I can't think of any
because I need Claire!

Where the hell is Claire?!

I'll find her, okay? I'll find her.

Stop!

Where have you been? Clark is losing it.

What are you doing, Claire? Are you moving?

You were right.

I can't tell him about Beth.

It'll destroy him.

What do you think this is gonna do?

I mean, you're Clark's magic feather.

He'll... he'll... he'll spin out if you go.

Come on. He already is.

Think of that girl and her parents.

So, what do you... what
do you want me to do, Ross?

What do you want me to do?

You want me to just go in there every day,

see his face, just lie to him?

You know, you and I don't
share that particular skill set.

Claire, you don't want to do this.

No, I don't. I don't.

I wanted to stay here.

You remember where I was working before.

Yeah, the... the dentist's office.

Yeah, and there's nothing wrong

with working at a dentist's office, okay?

Okay? People need dentists,

and dentists need people
to work in their office.

But this... I mean, this...

look, even if you started this company

for all the wrong reasons,
Ross, Clark didn't,

and it is changing lives, and
I got to be a part of that.

And then, like everything else
in my life, you took it from me.

You have this, like, amazing
power to take things from me.

Okay, okay. If you mean our
marriage, you are the one...

Don't you dare say that it was
my choice to talk to the police.

I swear to you... I will
kill you with that suitcase

and roll your body out in
it. I swear to God, Ross.

Taking something from you
was the last thing I wanted.

I wanted you to have everything.

Maybe.

Who knows? I mean, who knows anything?

It's why I did it... for us.

The house.

I just wanted you to have
everything that you deserved.

Well, maybe that's your M.O.

Maybe you tell people
after you ruin their lives

that it was all for their own good.

Has he slept?

Probably not.

Is that bad?

- It could go either way.
- Here's something.

Jonah's showing up in
papers in other cities.

Looks like he's expanding
outside of Chicago.

Claire! Claire!

- Can we... can we talk?
- No, no, no. Come to my office.

- I need to... I...
- Sit over here.

Wait.

Over there.

That's my hat.

- Yes, I know.
- Clark.

Okay, Clark, please don't go through
my things when I'm gone. All right?

Well, I needed something
to remind me of you,

- since you weren't here.
- Okay, I'm sorry.

I'm sorry.

Listen, I need to talk to you.

I have to leave, Clark.

What are you talking about? You just...

Wait.

- No!
- Yes, yes, yes.

Listen, Clark... Clark, listen,

I was offered a job, okay?

At a wildlife foundation in Florida.

- And it's at...
- I don't believe you.

Well, I applied with them a long time ago.

- It was way before...
- What's the name of the foundation?

The Wekiva Wetlands Preserve.

And I have been dreaming
about working with them

ever since I went to Orlando on that trip.

- Remember my...
- Why is it a better job than this?

Well, I get to...

I get to do good work.

You could do good work here.

I know, but it is not...
this is not what I want.

Oh, 'cause you want to help snakes?

You want to help birds?

- Yes, and there are otters and...
- We help people!

It's not what I want, okay?

- It never was.
- Is it Ross?

- What did he do? Did he do something?
- No. No! Nothing.

I just... I need to go.

Okay? But listen to me. Listen.

I feel okay about it because you...

you are doing so well.

And you and Beth are happy,

and you're in such a good place, Clark.

You can do this without me.

I'm wearing your hat!

You can do this, okay?

- Please?
- No. P... please?

No, this is a good thing.

- Listen. Please don't make this so...
- No, I can't.

- I can't do this without you.
- Yes, you can.

- No, I can't.
- Look at me. Yes, you can.

- No, no, no. No!
- Yes. Yes, you can.

- No, no! I can't! Please.
- You can. Yes, ye... okay.

Okay.

Okay?

Okay.

I'll stay.

Okay.

Okay.

So, when you say you want
to access Sofie's brain...

we induce trance state and then

subconsciously suggest

that she leave the cult

and go back to her parents.

- You want to hypnotize her?
- No.

Well, yeah.

But "hypnotize" makes it
sound like a sideshow act.

Yes. Yes, it does.

Hey, we all experience trance states.

Did... did you ever drive home from work,

and then after you arrive,
you realize you can't remember

any of the turns that got you there?

But surreptitious trance-state induction...

that hasn't been tried before,

since it requires a proximal
and suggestible subject.

Um, one in five people are classified

as highly suggestible,

and since Sofie was
talked into joining a cult,

I'd say that she qualifies.

But trance-state implantation,

even under laboratory conditions...

which this is very much not...

that can leave a subject
negatively impacted.

A girl is gone...

And her family broken apart
because of my screw-up.

I'd say she's already negatively impacted.

Okay, let's say that she is suggestible.

What about the proximity part?

Okay, we

distract Jonah,

we grab her,

and we take her somewhere.

Again, kidnapping.

No, it's not kidnapping if she wants to go.

We fake a kidnapping, scare her,

and then, when we rescue her from it...

We're the good guys, and she trusts us.

I like it, and I think it'll
work. You think it'll work?

Uh, it better.

Because I know why Jonah said

that we would never get to Sofie.

A girl who left the cult a
month ago wrote in her blog

that he's been busing followers
from here every few days

to start a "sustainable-living settlement

in the forests of Monterrey."

California?

Mexico.

Well, then we just do

all of the same stuff that I just...

That you've never tried before.

But we do it really fast.

All right, Ross, your team...

work on distracting Jonah.

Mine... prepare for trance-state induction.

Do you need a gold pocket watch?

No, I need an oscilloscope

and a biorhythm sensor from
the university sleep lab.

Also, optical illusion, boom box,

mp3 file with yucatan trance drumming

to induce hippocampal theta waves

in a range from 6 to 10 hertz.

Hypnotism without the tuxedo... science.

So, guess you're not going
to prom with the new girl.

We're fine. It's fine.

I mean, okay.

I kind of get why Ross hired her.

Maybe she can be useful.

But if he's gonna start dragging
in people from his old life,

- then, I mean...
- You mean why Clark hired her.

No, she told me...

Ross.

Hello.

Hey, there! Just about finished.

With?

Eh, the city's putting
in all these co2 monitors

in all the buildings in the area.

They ain't nothing to worry about.

Probably just some desk
jockey justifying his job.

All right. That looks good.

Take care. Thanks for the ladder.

We have a problem.

Who actually hired Sam?

- He did.
- He did.

And that is our problem.

Got you.

You really thought you
could get away with it?

Ross, I told you that no one would hire me.

- I told you that.
- Yeah, you did. I mean, this is all on me.

All right, look, you and
I... we got out of prison

at the same time, except
I didn't have a brother

that I could start a business with.

I'm trying here, guys,

but I... I can't even get an apartment.

I've got no credit.
I've got no credit cards.

I mean, what am I supposed to do?

Get a job at the mall and sell pretzels?

I just need to get over this little hump,

and I'll be okay.

But I need something real, like this job,

to prove to everyone that I've changed.

But...

But you haven't.

I have now.

All right, we need you
for this case tomorrow.

Then after that, that's it.

Come on.

- People usually don't change, huh?
- They do.

It's just...

A lot harder if the environmental
factors stay the same.

Are you suggesting, for Sam,

that working for a company
that practices deception

isn't quite far enough off the path?

Yeah, I think we need some pie.

All right.

- Apple.
- Apple. All right.

Jonah.

Dr. Edwards.

Nice to meet the wizard behind the curtain.

No wizard.

- Just a scientist.
- No.

The tricks you used on
Ocean were impressive.

I was excited to see what was coming next.

- I'm almost sorry I had to pull the plug.
- Well,

thanks.

Thought I'd just

throw that first pitch
right down the middle,

- not show the good stuff yet.
- Like the hidden camera?

- For instance.
- Don't feel bad that didn't work.

I'm... I'm so used to keeping my eyes open.

I got so many people want to bring me down.

Oh, I can imagine.

But when they see your skills,

I would say that most people
probably wouldn't even bother to try.

Thank you.

Most people.

Well, let's agree that we
both have the same goal...

rescue a young woman
from a harmful lifestyle

and install her into a healthy one.

And we use similar tactics to do it,

so, in fact,

- we're actually a lot alike.
- No.

The difference is...

I do it because I love this planet...

... to awaken a young woman's spirit.

And you...

Just do it for the money.

That's not true.

Do you know anything about her home,

what her parents' values are,

who she is?

No?

Then why is what you do so good

and what I do so bad?

You're in my chair.

- So, he's already on to us, huh?
- Yep.

And a day early.

Even better.

Hey.

You okay?

Yeah.

Eat your pie.

What do you mean, you're not gonna do it?

We're gonna do most of it,

just not the part

where we make her go back home.

That's the part we want!

This isn't for sure. We're
still discussing strategy.

No. No, we're not.

Look, I was up all night over this.

What we're doing is no
different from what Jonah does.

What is he talking about?!

Look, Jonah took Sofie

and made her what he wanted her to be.

Now you want to take her and make her

what you want her to be,

and all without her deciding

for herself what she wants.

She's clearly not capable of
making decisions for herself.

It's why she's in a cult.
That's what parents do...

they help their kids make decisions.

Yes, that's true.

But, eventually, they all
have to do it for themselves.

And if you're wrong?

If she decides to stay with the cult?

Let me just talk with
my brother for a minute.

Excuse us.

What did Jonah say to you last night?

Nothing.

He got to you, didn't he? He's that good.

- No, he didn't get to me.
- He's that good.

- He got to you.
- No.

Yeah. I...

I'm just not gonna... deprogram Sofie,

Deprogram Sofie, then turn
around and reprogram her.

Just do the plan.

Her parents didn't pay to
hear your personal philosophy

of self-determination.

- We... we're not...
- They don't care.

We're not puppet masters here

pulling the strings because we can, okay?

We're not God.

No, we are Santa Claus, and
her parents sat on our lap

and asked us to please rescue
their daughter from a cult.

- That doesn't sound like a morally debatable request to me.
- Okay, all right.

The next time that she does something

that they disapprove of or
we disapprove of, what then?

What?

I'm not gonna put Sofie
back the way she was

without making her stronger,
able to make her own choices.

Then we haven't done anything.

I want what's best for Sofie.

Jonah...

he wants Sofie.

That's how we're different.

Let's go, people! We're getting close.

Jonah Cain.

Cecelia Green... Green, Meyers & Young.

It's an environmental movement.

People are free to join or not to join.

Have you ever seen these men?

Why?

Well, I represent a number of victims

who were forcibly taken from
situations like your movement,

and I'm trying to build enough of a case

to make it against the law.

Kidnapping is against the law.

Well, not when they call it "rescuing."

My parents forcibly deprogrammed my sister,

and two months later...

she killed herself.

So if this is all that I
can do, I'm gonna do it.

What do you need from me?

Evidence.

The courts need to see proof

that these companies go
beyond just exit counseling.

And I have a friend at the Sun-Times

who said she would write a
story if I brought her some

and someone to go on record.

Now, will this help me in
my class-action suit? Yes,

but it will also get your
movement a lot more exposure

than a few Internet videos.

I'm gonna call her and
tell her we're on our way.

Hi. Can you take us to
the north side on Damen?

Sam has him. Go!

Okay, everybody going to Mexico,

Jonah wants you to start
loading up, all right?

Mexico group, let's go!

Just leave your stuff
at the back of the bus.

Hey, Ocean. Can I talk to you for a sec?

- Go away.
- No, no, no, no, no! Whoa, whoa! Hey, hey!

Hey, hey! Hey, cross the
street. Jonah has a safe place.

- I just want to talk to her real...
- Leave her alone!

What? Go, go!

Go, go! Come on, Miles!

What the hell was that?

Hi. I'm Claire.

That was my fault.

Jonah said this might happen.

Okay, do you just want me to
go and see if they're outside?

No, no, no, no, no, no.
No. I'll go. I'll go.

She lives right down the street.

No, she's not answering.

Uh... I don't know. Maybe she's on her way.

You know what?

Actually, I'm gonna go check
and see if she's inside.

Um, do you need anything?
Do you want anything?

- No. I'm fine.
- Okay.

- If a guy comes, will you get me an iced tea?
- Sure.

- Thank you so much for doing this, really.
- Yeah, absolutely.

I'll be right back.

Look...

Jonah has this place
because, unfortunately,

people try this stuff all the time.

- We need a safe house.
- How long do I have to be here?

Oh, you don't have to be here at all, but

I'll feel better knowing that it's safe.

And when Jonah says that the...
the bus is ready to leave,

we'll just put you right back on it.

We... we don't want you going
into the next part of your journey

with negative energy.

That's why Jonah set this
place up... for calming,

relaxation, re-centering.

Okay.

Just stay here with Claire,

and I'll make sure
everything's okay, all right?

Don't worry.

Do you want to just relax or lie down?

You can take a nap.

I'm right here, okay?

I'll be right here.

Where did you get that camera?

It looks like footage
from the nose of a missile.

Oh, it's a baby monitor. It was on sale.

All right, what... what's
the optical illusion for?

It puts her subconscious mind
at war with her conscious mind.

It opens up an avenue for the trance state.

And then within 10 minutes,

the drum beat should put
her hippocampal theta waves

between 6 and 10 hertz,
putting her right between

awake and asleep and in a suggestive state.

Probably the only state
where any of this is legal.

Oh. Thatagirl.

Okay, it's hard to get a good
reading through all the bedding,

but it looks like her
theta waves are down to 10.

- Oh. I'm going in.
- All right. Wait, wait, wait.

No, no, no. We have a very
short window of time here

before she passes through
the suggestive state.

Clark, Clark, the original goal
was to get her away from Jonah.

She's away. She's right here.

Her brain is in your hands, Clark.

Please, just make her want
to go home. Take the win.

She's at 8 hertz.

Sofie, if you can hear my voice, just nod.

Good.

I want you to know that you
are an independent person.

You believe that.

And when you wake up, you'll believe

that if anyone tries to pull
you in their direction or, like,

talk you into an idea,

you're strong enough to
think for yourself, okay?

Okay.

Oh.

This stone

is strong and solid.

And whenever you're confused

or pressured,

this stone will remind you

that you're strong, too,

and self-reliant, okay?

Good.

Okay.

Uh... over and out.

No.

You'll wake up when I count to three.

One...

Two...

I told you guys to make sure no
outsiders get in the compound.

And I told you to keep an eye on her.

You got a phone?

Okay, remember the script. Support her.

Don't beg her to come home
or try to pull her back.

It'll work against you.

Hello?

Hi.

I just...

- I don't know. I wanted to call.
- Good.

I'm glad.

Well, um...

I just... I just want you to know that...

Your dad and I love you.

And...

I know we weren't always perfect parents.

We made a lot of mistakes.

But just know that...

The way you turned out... that...

that isn't one of them.

And we will always be your family.

One of us on each side of you

so you don't fall out.

Ocean!

Okay, bye.

Sofie?

Honey?

Excuse me.

Yeah?

What happened?! What did she do?

She got on the bus.

How could you be happy with the outcome?

I didn't say happy. I said satisfied.

It's like a... a magic trick,

where you looked like you
were gonna saw the girl in half

and then you actually sawed her in half.

The plan worked.

T... tell that to the dad who
wants to sue us for the plan.

I said I'd encourage her to
take charge of her own life.

Y... you gave her a pet
rock and you sent her off

- to live in a Mexican cult!
- By her own choice!

- What right do we have to... to make it...
- What about obligation?

What if somebody's about to
choose to jump off a bridge?

You know, in certain states,

there are laws requiring that
you help someone in trouble.

We did try, Ross, which is
why the father can't sue us,

even if he wanted to.

- We tried!
- Please! I am so tired of this

from everyone.

Sometimes, we do know what's
best for another person.

And I am not gonna sit
on my ass and do nothing.

Oh, what are you gonna do, Ross?

Go grab her and bring her back?

You don't even know where she is.

Down 55. I saw their map.

She's a lot stronger than you think, Ross!

She just needs to realize it!

What did they do to you?

Fill your head full of lies about me?

About the movement?

Try to make you doubt your commitment?

No.

They let me take a nap.

And then they just let you walk?

Yeah. They're up to something.

And they accuse me of mind control?

This is good, though.

It means we're getting to
them. It means we're winning.

That's why you have to trust me.

Filter out the noise,

the voices that will pollute the message.

It'll lead you back

to the lie you were living
before you came to me...

the empty consumerism
that was consuming you.

Blend your voice with...

Hey. What was the rock about?

- Hmm?
- The pet rock

that you gave to Sofie.

Oh, the talisman.

A focusing agent.

Our dependencies, our habits, our fears...

they're all just tricks of the mind.

Something as simple as a
rock can remind the brain

to tune out the tricks
and turn on the truth.

Where is she?

Mom.

Yes, sir.

No, we're just very
happy it all worked out.

And we wish the best of luck to all of you.

Sofie's dad just called to say thank you.

He's sending the check.

- Hello.
- Hi.

Congratulations.

Hey. Where's Claire?

Does she know about the good news?

Yeah, she was the first
one to take the call.

Oh. Well, go get her so we can celebrate.

Okay.

Oh, yeah. I hired her back.

- Why?
- Uh, because you like her,

and she wants to change.

And, you know, if I didn't
think people could change,

I wouldn't be working with you.

Yeah, so, Claire's...

Not here.

Clark.

"You'll be okay.

You are stronger and more
capable than you think."

Birds and snakes, man.

What's that?

It's my pet rock.
