Well, we know where we're going

But we don't know

Where we've been

And so we ran on...

...into Summerland...

...and the place they said did not exist.

And we know what we're knowing

But we can't say what we've seen

And all the while, wolves were at our heels.

Black masks, boots...

...and the one they called The Eye.

And we're not little children

And we know what we want

We had come to do the work that must be done...

...to strip ourselves of the fog of life before.

The human race is beginning to evolve.

Exterior temperature is 20 degrees Celsius.

Give us time to work it out

David.

We believe, myself and the people here, that you're a very powerful telepath.

David.

Telekinetic, potentially.

Which means you can control matter with your mind.

Ah!

The Divisions were created by our government to track and study people...

...like you and Syd.

And the ones they can't control, they kill.

Are you hearing voices? Now?

They're louder here.

So much power.

It's making you sick.

- I want you to focus on the voices. - No.

That's what-- That's worse.

Trust me. You're safe here.

Now, close your eyes. Focus.

There's a single voice calling your name.

David?

- Can you hear it? - David?

Can you find it?

David.

David.

David.

- David. - Do it!

All right, I want you to concentrate on it.

David.

- Now, dial out all the other voices. - David.

Imagine there's a big knob, like a volume knob...

- David. - ...and just turn it down...

- David. - ...until all you hear is that one voice.

David?

David.

That's good, David.

Very good.

That's what we call telepathy.

Get some sleep.

Tomorrow memory work begins.

- Hi. - Hey.

You feeling better?

Um, what did she mean "memory work"?

David, your whole life people have told you you're sick.

What if I told you that's a lie?

What if I told you every memory you have of mental illness...

...the voices, hallucinations, was just your power?

And what if I could do more than just tell you?

What if I could show you?

Help you rewrite the story of your life.

Do--? Do we have time for that?

- Didn't you say Division Three--? - We'll make time.

You're very important to us, David.

To me.

I need you clear.

I need you focused.

This is how we do it.

We look back...

...we find your powers, we see what triggers them.

But what matters most, we make you whole.

Amy.

Wait up, Amy.

Come on, King.

Come on.

You can see why I said you need to see this for yourself.

We call this memory work.

Amy.

Your sister.

What was I, like 8? How is it--?

Are we like--? Are we--? Are we inside my head?

Ptonomy is what we call our memory artist.

That's his gift.

- Can I talk to them? - You can, but it's better if you don't.

It changes the memory.

Just take it in for now.

This first time is about accepting that it's real.

And then we can focus on work.

Taking you back to those moments in your past...

...when you first felt your so-called illness coming on.

I'll show you that it was really just your gift.

We're gonna make you whole again.

Come on, Davey. Mom said home by 6.

Okay. Come on, King.

Can I--? Can we--? Can we follow them?

Pretend we're in a museum.

The museum of you.

It's your place. You're the boss.

Where do you wanna go? What do you want to see?

Feel it all again.

- You're back in your body, in the moment. - King!

King.

- Come on. - Come on, King.

Heh. No, no, no.

Not like this.

In rows. See?

- Okay. - And let....

- Yeah? - All right.

Big one.

And then take a deep breath.

Now, try to see it from the outside. Find some distance.

- Okay. Stand still. - I am.

Hey. No cheating.

- Heh, I'm not. - Right here.

- That's your mother? - Right there.

I've grown a lot.

We live in the country.

Upstate. There's no, um, light pollution.

My dad...

...he's an astronomer.

He, uh, was.

He-- He died last year.

"'To bed, to bed,' the mother said.

- They wouldn't let me.... - 'To bed,' she said.

- The angry boy, his face turned red. - I was still in the hospital.

His face turned red."

But why can't I see his face?

You can. This is your memory. All you have to do is look up.

"His face turned red.

And with a cry, he chopped her head."

"'No bed,' he said.

And snicker snack, his mom was dead.

Dead, dead."

Ahh! No, no, no!

No, I can't.

- No, I-- I can't. No. - Da--

- I can't. I-- - Hey, now, it's okay.

It's not real. They're just memories.

I felt the same way the first time. Yeah?

Okay. Slow down.

You see these things. You're back there. These feelings. I did it too.

- How do I get out? - David. It's all right.

No. How do I--? I just want--

Sleep.

And we both know who that angry boy was.

We do?

David.

Me?

Very good.

That's, um....

Ahem, I'm not sure that's-- Quiet, I'm talking.

Sorry.

You seem twitchy today.

No. This--

This is me normal.

Everything okay at home? Your girlfriend?

She's--

We don't--

I don't wanna talk about it, okay? God!

I'm not an easy guy to....

She left. Philly.

No. I-- She wanted to, and--

And lightning, you know? Like, ahem...

Do you--? Do you have any gum? Or, like, a lozenge?

Or, like, liquid or something? My mouth--

The breakup of a relationship can be very disruptive...

...for someone with your condition, David. Are you sleeping?

At night, you mean?

Uh, yeah. No, I'm fine.

The vapor, and....

I mean, it's not like--

I mean, maybe she'll come back.

I think. It's kind of our dynamic, you know.

And we talked about how that's not healthy.

High stress, the push-pull.

What--? What did you mean, "the vapor"?

- The what? - You said "the vapor."

No, I was just repeating something the voices said.

I see.

Well, as I said, this dynamic, always fighting and making up...

...it's not good for your condition, David.

- You need a more settled environment. - Okay, yeah.

I will work on that.

Hey!

All good in the head now?

What--? What is this?

I thought you might be hungry.

I could whip us up some....

Whatever, eggs.

The Greek?

So is this, like, my stove or...?

Ha! Some girl I finger-banged took a real shine to me.

She had, like, all these menus on her fridge, you know...

...so I figured bitch could probably live...

...without stewing any more ragout or whatever.

David.

David.

David.

Hey.

It's cool.

Drink this.

It's milk. It helps.

Reminder, the dining hall is a levitation-free zone.

First time is always the worst.

The memory work.

- Your girlfriend threw up. - Hmm?

Syd.

She's in with Melanie, doing talk work.

That's the deal. Do memory work with me, you gotta do talk work with Dr. Bird.

Figure out what it all means.

Melanie thinks you're the key.

The key to what?

Winning the war...

...and other things.

Dr. Baker's Advanced Time Travel class has been canceled.

She called you a memory artist.

Melanie-- You....

That was all you?

That is weirdly impressive.

My pops had a crap memory.

Artillery shell in the war. Went deaf in one ear.

But then, he was never good with facts and, like, dates and stuff.

He used to snap his fingers at me when he forgot my name.

Which is funny, because I remember everything.

What do you mean, everything?

Like I remember my birth.

Before, even. The womb.

You know how loud the heartbeat is?

Imagine you can remember being inside your mother's body...

...warm and blind, and then just this intense pressure...

...and suddenly...

...light.

Tell me about the book.

- What book? - The World's Angriest Boy in the World.

Oh, I-- I don't know. I don't-- I don't remember.

Not really.

The memory seemed clear to me.

Was that really...? Did your parents really read that at bedtime?

Because that would be....

That's messed up.

I don't wanna talk about it.

Mm, I don't either.

That's not my deal.

I'm the memory guy. Not the talk guy.

Take your time getting up.

Like I said, first time's a bitch.

Earth is the only planet in our solar system not named after a god.

Hi.

Hey.

I don't know how this is helping.

- The memory work. - Yeah. Yeah.

I thought that too.

When I got here, all I wanted was to get you.

What did it matter if my mommy was mean to me?

Or what I saw when I was you.

I still don't really understand it.

There was a flash.

That's all I remember.

We changed places...

...and everything in the dayroom was so loud.

People yelling.

And the lights.

Drums in my head.

I've never felt that way before. And....

Something else.

Something....

That's when it happened.

David, I think...

...I killed your friend.

I'm sorry. I'm so sorry.

It's not your fault.

Don't give a newbie a--

--bazooka and act surprised when she blows shit up.

What?

Nothing. I just....

Well, they heard it.

When I used your power.

Melanie and the others.

They heard it and they came.

And Division Three came because they heard it too.

They thought they found you.

But it was really me.

And someday Someday, baby

Surprise.

I--

I wanna hug you.

You can't.

We could hold hands.

- Can I be honest? - Mm-hmm.

It's really uncomfortable for me.

- Even with the gloves. - Oh.

There's this feeling. The closer I get to someone.

It's like being covered with ants.

These little anxious needles under my skin.

Sometimes it's all I can do not to scream.

Well, we wouldn't want that.

No.

- Sorry. - Don't be.

We're having a romance of the mind.

I like that.

All right, Mr. Haller, try not to sneeze.

Why would I sneeze?

Well, for example.

Move, basically.

It-- It jumbles the scan.

Apple.

Nixon.

Uh, onion.

No. Onion.

- Santa. - Are you talking to me?

No, I'm not. Sorry.

Alaska.

Ah, no, you don't play like this. Shh.

I talk to myself sometimes too.

Well, not myself. The-- The voices.

You're supposed to ignore them.

- Sometimes-- - Also, don't talk.

Sorry. On the list of things not to do. Talk.

Oh, like sneeze?

- Do you have to sneeze? - No. Just....

For the record, I wasn't talking to myself. I was talking to Kerry.

Wait, I thought your name was Cary.

Yes, it is.

So you're talking to Cary, just not the Cary that happens to be yourself.

Correct. You have an extremely large amygdala.

Thank you.

Okay.

Deep breath. Try to think of something or someone you...

...love.

Is he okay?

Don't worry, I can walk.

He gets back into town on Thursday.

I think he's gonna propose.

David.

Oh, that's....

Good job.

Good job?

No, I-- That's-- That's great.

I'm-- I'm happy for you.

You're sweet, but....

I mean, I don't know for sure.

Men, right?

But who knows? Maybe you and Philly.

You know, she's nice, though, you know?

I think she-- She gets you.

No, that-- That's-- That's dumb.

- I'm-- That's not gonna.... - Well...

...why can't you have a--? What everyone else has?

A nice home, a family.

Because I'm sick.

The point of a stove being what?

- Like its function? - To me.

I look like a guy who needs a stove?

You know how in baseball they say, "So-and-so's a utility player"?

The stove is the utility player of the modern home.

You know, you can cook with it, you can heat a room with it...

...you can read by it.

Some of your finer poets even knock themselves off...

...with the old "head in the oven" scenario.

You're saying I should kill myself?

Dude, look, I don't, um, care what you do with it.

I'm just trying to trade a kitchen range for some drugs.

That's all.

We could go by weight....

Kid.

Mazel tov.

Why is it blue?

It's always blue.

Oh, yeah.

Hey, we should, um.... You know that doctor that you see?

Does he have any good--?

You've been to his place, right? Is it, like, fancy?

- You mean Dr. Poole? - Yeah.

His, um....

I'm asking because I was thinking maybe, like, one night, you know...

...when he's not there, we could, like, slip in and....

Because that could be....

I'm asking, it's got great score potential, you know.

And I'm saying like action movie...

..."one last job and I'm out" type of thing. You know?

- Lenny. - What?

Red leather, yellow leather.

Red leather, yellow leather. Red leather, yellow leather.

Freeze.

What just happened?

Nothing.

Your reaction to Lenny, what were you seeing when you looked at her?

Nothing. We were high, okay.

I-- I see things, okay?

It's not real. It's my brain.

That's the old narrative, son.

The schizophrenic delusions.

You're not schizophrenic.

You have powers.

The things you see are real.

Like I showed you with the voices.

Which reminds me.

I'd like to go back to something else.

Quiet, I'm talking. Sorry.

You seem twitchy today.

Nope. Nope, this is me normal.

Everything okay at home?

Your girlfriend?

We don't-- I'm not an easy guy to....

She left. Philly.

No. I-- She wanted to and-- And lightning, you know?

Freeze.

What happened there?

I don't know.

You saw it?

- There was a glitch, a time jump. - Yes.

David, it's very important that you remember everything.

I am. I do. I will. Maybe I was distracted or--

No. Even if you were focused on something else...

...the surrounding memory should be intact.

It's okay to be confused.

We'll find the truth together.

Take us back.

She left. Philly.

No. I-- She wanted to and....

Something happened, and....

Lightning, you know?

- Do you have any gum or, like, a--? - Wait.

There was a flash. Did you see that?

You were in a kitchen. Maybe six years ago?

You were using your powers.

I don't know. I didn't see anything.

Concentrate. Try and focus on where you went just now.

An apartment. There was some kind of an incident.

- I'm sorry. - It's okay.

Just make your mind blank...

...and I'll get us there.

What happened?

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

He's too strong.

It's not me. I didn't--

- David. You have to trust us. - I do.

I told you.

David?

David?

David.

David.

David.

What?

- I said, how are you? - Oh. Heh.

Um, ahem, I'm fine.

Just, you know....

- It's a lot to take in. - I know.

I was worried.

Yeah.

What was it? In the memory.

- Melanie won't tell me. - Ah....

It was kid stuff.

It's okay, though, that I brought you here?

Yeah, of course. Are you kidding? This place is beautiful.

You think we're safe here?

Right now.

But I know they're looking for us.

To experiment on or....

But I'll protect you.

What?

- Huh? - No, you said--

I thought you--

Never mind.

- No, what? - No, nothing. I just....

Did you just think--? In your head, did you think, "I'll protect you"?

No. I don't know.

Sorry, I'm-- I'm not listening.

- I just-- I can't control it yet. - Well, learn.

Because not everything is--

No, I know. Just....

You are cute, though.

David.

You're moving.

I told you not to.

I'm sorry. It's just--

How much longer?

A couple of-- Let's, uh....

We're just trying to figure out where all your memories are stored.

We're trying to map the network.

Now, think about what happened next.

And this sense you have...

...of seeing another world out of the corner of your eye...

...when did that start?

Uh, maybe 10 or 11.

One last job, and we're out.

It's kind of hard to....

Like trying to make a list, people yelling in your ear.

Big score potential.

The pills I prescribed should help with that.

They do. Some.

It's always blue.

- You're not supplementing, are you? - What do you mean?

Last time you used the word "vapor," I looked it up. There's a new drug.

No. I don't.

The pills. The prescription.

I'm clean.

Ten or 11...

- Hmm? - ...you said the visions started.

What do you remember most about those years?

Uh, well, uh....

Andromeda...

...Cassiopeia...

...Boötes, Canis Major, Lupus. Uh, heh....

Telescopia....

In the sky.

My dad was a....

My father was a-- He studied the, uh, stars.

- An astronomer. - Yes.

And he used to wake me up in the middle of the....

And....

We'd drive out in his truck to....

And I'd look up at the lights in the sky and...

...they'd talk to me.

The stars.

Which was.... I thought they talked to everybody.

And I told my dad and he said-- At first he said, "They talk to me too."

But he meant it like a metaphor.

And what did the stars say?

No. That's....

I'm not-- I'm not supposed to talk about it.

This is a safe place, David. Nothing can hurt you here.

No, I'm-- I'm fine. I just....

Wait, we should, uh....

Let's talk about something else, okay? Uh....

What did you say that article was about?

A new, uh, drug or something?

It's just a closet, David. Nothing to worry about.

Hmm? You see?

Nothing to worry about.

So...

...why don't you tell me what the stars said?

David.

What?

I didn't say anything.

No, is...?

It sounded like a woman.

I didn't--

Did you say something?

- No. - She says she didn't say anything.

- Who? - Kerry.

I thought your name was--

Look, can we--? Are we--? Are we done?

Because I-- I gotta--

We're almost done, all right?

David. Where are you?

Amy?

David.

I told you. David Haller.

H-A-L-L-E-R.

As I said on the phone...

...we've never had a David Haller at this facility.

Well, that's just crazy.

We don't use that word here.

I don't know what other word to use.

Mrs. Haller, if your brother was here--

He was.

Then there would be a record.

Look, I don't know anything about your records.

I've been to this hospital a hundred times.

I've been visiting him for years.

Do you understand?

- I-- I sat in that room. I met with his doctor. - This Kissinger you mentioned....

Yes. Dr. Kissinger.

Douglas. Dennis.

Kissinger. He worked with David for nearly two years...

...and they were making progress. Real progress.

Oh, let me guess.

You don't have any record of him either.

Perhaps you have us confused with another facility.

Is someone putting you up to this?

Are you being coerced?

Miss Haller...

...I'm beginning to wonder if we shouldn't admit you for observation.

- What? - Tell me...

...have you ever seen a psychiatrist for paranoid delusions?

Amy.

Amy!

David?

Amy!

Amy!

David, what--? What just happened?

What?

Your brain just lit up. There's all kinds of neural activity.

I've never seen anything like this, really. It's--

- That wasn't a memory. - I just....

I just heard my sister.

Hey, don't move.

- What? - I gotta-- Don't move.

I'll be right back.

Did you--?

Did you leave?

Hello?

Hello?

Hello?

Shit.

Oh, come on.

Okay.

I am-- I'm done with this shit.

No!

Yeah, see?

- Check it out, look! - Oh, my God!

- Look at this. Do you see this? Come on. - Oh, my God.

- Come over here. - Check it out.

You guys gotta check this out.

Look at this.

David Haller.

- H-A-L-L-E-R. - As I said....

- They have her. Division Three. - They probably do.

You can't help her.

I have to go.

Elevator going up.

Ascending.

- You're leaving. - Just for a day or two.

Is it me?

Because of me?

We can hold hands.

- I want to. - Syd, I--

I was in the machine, the MRI, and I saw Amy.

You saw your sister in the MRI machine?

No. She-- I found her.

I heard her, and she's looking for me.

And they-- I think they found her.

Division Three.

She's in trouble.

I don't know. I can't--

It-- It's jumbled up.

There is something wrong with me, I know, but I cannot just leave her.

Stay.

Do the work.

Not long. Just enough, to learn what you can do...

...what we can do together.

Then we can rescue her like we rescued you.

Do the work.

Well, how do I know they won't kill her?

Because she's bait.

- Down. - Descending.

Shall we begin?

- Mm! - Tell me about your childhood.

Oh

At the tender age of 3 I was hooked to a machine

Just to keep my mouth From spouting junk, ha

Must have took me for a fool

'Cause they chucked me Out of school

'Cause the teacher knew I had the funk

But tonight I'm on the edge You better shut me in the fridge

Because I'm burning up, ha I'm burning up

With the vision in my brain And the music in my veins

And the dirty rhythm in my blood

They are messing with my heart

And they're messing with my heart

And they're messing with my heart

Won't stop messing with my Oh, ripping me apart

Hyperactive when I'm small Hyperactive now I'm tall

Hyperactive as the day is long

Hyperactive in my bones

Hyperactive in your phones

Hyperactive and the night is young
