2
00:00:09,061 --> 00:00:10,761
What's this?
3
00:00:10,762 --> 00:00:14,068
So, I know you like to act
like it's just another day,
4
00:00:14,069 --> 00:00:18,484
but that would be a cardinal
sin in the Lewicki house, so...
5
00:00:18,485 --> 00:00:21,425
Happy Birthday, Doc.
6
00:00:21,776 --> 00:00:24,242
Thank you, Lewicki. It's...
7
00:00:24,243 --> 00:00:26,883
Very thoughtful.
8
00:00:29,886 --> 00:00:32,706
Right. Well, um...
9
00:00:32,889 --> 00:00:37,329
I'm gonna start getting ready for class.
10
00:00:40,119 --> 00:00:41,664
Natalie: You forgot, didn't you?
11
00:00:41,665 --> 00:00:44,046
What sadist decided
that we should celebrate
12
00:00:44,047 --> 00:00:46,237
the inexorable march
toward death, anyway?
13
00:00:46,238 --> 00:00:48,904
It's not sadism, Daniel.
14
00:00:48,905 --> 00:00:52,020
It's an excuse for people in
your life to show you they care.
15
00:00:52,021 --> 00:00:55,385
Yeah, don't care, Natalie.
I haven't since I was a kid.
16
00:00:55,386 --> 00:00:58,776
Correction... you don't celebrate.
17
00:00:58,777 --> 00:01:01,219
You haven't since you were diagnosed.
18
00:01:01,220 --> 00:01:05,060
Thank you for pointing that out.
19
00:01:05,724 --> 00:01:09,094
- [Blows]
- There's the birthday boy!
20
00:01:09,095 --> 00:01:11,496
Paul, I don't want to
make a big thing about it.
21
00:01:11,497 --> 00:01:15,138
Oh, too late, buddy. I've already
made arrangements for Thursday night,
22
00:01:15,139 --> 00:01:16,967
courtesy of none other
than Gilbert Didion.
23
00:01:16,968 --> 00:01:18,347
I don't know who that is.
24
00:01:18,348 --> 00:01:20,705
The Enfant Terrible of
Franco-Pacific cuisine.
25
00:01:20,706 --> 00:01:22,519
He's opening a new
restaurant in Wicker Park.
26
00:01:22,520 --> 00:01:24,314
I don't like crowds. You know that.
27
00:01:24,315 --> 00:01:26,404
It's a Chef's table, Daniel.
28
00:01:26,405 --> 00:01:29,769
A private dinner for a few select
gourmands to sample the menu.
29
00:01:29,770 --> 00:01:32,108
This is a major
hook-up, if I do say so.
30
00:01:32,109 --> 00:01:35,027
Well, I'd love to, but I have
an exam to prepare for Friday.
31
00:01:35,028 --> 00:01:36,828
No, you don't.
32
00:01:36,829 --> 00:01:38,783
[Cellphone vibrating]
33
00:01:38,784 --> 00:01:40,805
Phone. [Beep]
34
00:01:40,806 --> 00:01:42,037
Kate.
35
00:01:42,038 --> 00:01:44,457
Save your breath, Daniel. I
won't take no for an answer.
36
00:01:44,458 --> 00:01:46,316
- Paul...
- Not listening!
37
00:01:46,317 --> 00:01:50,637
Thursday at 7:00. I will pick you up.
38
00:01:56,384 --> 00:02:00,529
[Mockingly] No, you don't.
You didn't have anything.
39
00:02:00,530 --> 00:02:02,561
His name's Kurt Simpson.
40
00:02:02,562 --> 00:02:05,977
Three weeks ago he was found in a
motel room in Three Rivers, Michigan,
41
00:02:05,978 --> 00:02:08,630
shot twice in the chest.
42
00:02:08,631 --> 00:02:10,636
Did I hear it was your birthday?
43
00:02:10,637 --> 00:02:11,712
Vicious rumor.
44
00:02:11,713 --> 00:02:14,294
So, what? Local authorities
couldn't find a suspect?
45
00:02:14,295 --> 00:02:16,491
No, the crime scene was clean.
46
00:02:16,492 --> 00:02:19,401
This guy was a loner. He didn't
have any friends, no family.
47
00:02:19,402 --> 00:02:22,147
Just a job managing the
Tip Top Buffet in Portage.
48
00:02:22,148 --> 00:02:25,083
Well, there's your motive.
The guy ran a community trough.
49
00:02:25,084 --> 00:02:28,332
Anybody lose a loved one to
E. Coli recently or swine flu?
50
00:02:28,333 --> 00:02:29,538
No.
51
00:02:29,539 --> 00:02:32,260
But yesterday the cyber unit
found a civilian complaint
52
00:02:32,261 --> 00:02:36,028
that was filed against Simpson a few
weeks before the murder, in "Caleidoscope".
53
00:02:36,029 --> 00:02:38,975
Turns out this guy did have a
life, just not in the real world.
54
00:02:38,976 --> 00:02:40,666
Go back. "Caleidoscope"?
55
00:02:40,667 --> 00:02:44,087
I'll let Fleckner explain.
56
00:02:45,092 --> 00:02:49,585
Fleckner: Technically, "Caleidoscope" is
a massively multiplayer online social game.
57
00:02:49,586 --> 00:02:52,611
But you can think of
it as Facebook in 3-D.
58
00:02:52,612 --> 00:02:56,995
I think of it as a delivery system
for attention-deficit disorder.
59
00:02:56,996 --> 00:02:59,718
Right, because video games cause A.D.D.
60
00:02:59,719 --> 00:03:01,345
That's an old wives' tale, man.
61
00:03:01,346 --> 00:03:03,553
- Fleckner, don't engage.
- Oh, really? Really?
62
00:03:03,554 --> 00:03:06,867
Are these old wives responsible
for the overstimulated Limbic System
63
00:03:06,868 --> 00:03:08,324
and the stunted social growth, too?
64
00:03:08,325 --> 00:03:11,248
- Daniel.
- What? I can't ask a question?
65
00:03:11,249 --> 00:03:14,610
Listen, a "Caleidoscope"
user creates an avatar
66
00:03:14,611 --> 00:03:18,770
to represent himself as he
explores the Virtual Universe.
67
00:03:18,771 --> 00:03:20,371
It's just like real life.
68
00:03:20,372 --> 00:03:24,526
He can shop, travel, start
a business, build a house.
69
00:03:24,527 --> 00:03:30,427
Or, as in the case of our murder
victim, commit identity theft.
70
00:03:30,984 --> 00:03:33,158
Fleckner, that was your cue.
71
00:03:33,159 --> 00:03:36,483
Oh, sorry. Yeah, MPresario.
72
00:03:36,484 --> 00:03:39,183
Based on information
from the game developer,
73
00:03:39,184 --> 00:03:41,326
we know that this is
Kurt Simpson's avatar.
74
00:03:41,327 --> 00:03:43,645
According to our online
tipster, our murder victim was
75
00:03:43,646 --> 00:03:46,554
using "Caleidoscope" to sell
stolen credit-card numbers.
76
00:03:46,555 --> 00:03:50,386
Stolen, no doubt, from the unfortunate
patrons of the Tip Top Buffet.
77
00:03:50,387 --> 00:03:52,989
How do you "virtually
report" someone to the FBI?
78
00:03:52,990 --> 00:03:55,068
You use a virtual billboard.
79
00:03:55,069 --> 00:03:59,024
Of course, it's completely impossible
to monitor everything online but,
80
00:03:59,025 --> 00:04:01,189
at least people know
we're just a click away.
81
00:04:01,190 --> 00:04:04,182
Which brings us to Jeremy108.
82
00:04:04,183 --> 00:04:06,584
In the real world, he's Jeremy Nordhoff.
83
00:04:06,585 --> 00:04:08,654
He's 22. He lives in Chicago.
84
00:04:08,655 --> 00:04:10,861
About a month ago, he clicked
on one of our billboards
85
00:04:10,862 --> 00:04:13,592
in "Caleidoscope" and filed
a report against MPresario.
86
00:04:13,593 --> 00:04:16,594
A month ago? I thought the Internet
was supposed to make everything faster.
87
00:04:16,595 --> 00:04:18,997
Do you know how many online tips we get?
88
00:04:18,998 --> 00:04:20,814
I got to Nordhoff as soon as I could.
89
00:04:20,815 --> 00:04:24,267
And then I ran a check, and
I found out that MPresario,
90
00:04:24,268 --> 00:04:27,536
A.K.A. Kurt Simpson,
had just been killed.
91
00:04:27,537 --> 00:04:28,585
So it's game on.
92
00:04:28,586 --> 00:04:30,794
Fleckner's looking into
Simpson's online accounts.
93
00:04:30,795 --> 00:04:33,451
Meanwhile, I called Jeremy
Nordhoff to see what he knows.
94
00:04:33,452 --> 00:04:36,447
- And?
- That's where I'm gonna need your help.
95
00:04:36,448 --> 00:04:37,422
Why?
96
00:04:37,423 --> 00:04:39,673
Because according to Jeremy's mother,
97
00:04:39,674 --> 00:04:44,834
he hasn't spoken a word
to anyone in five years.
98
00:04:48,561 --> 00:04:53,578
Jeremy was always shy and nervous around
other people, and then one day he just...
99
00:04:53,579 --> 00:04:56,361
Decided not to come out of his room.
100
00:04:56,362 --> 00:04:57,867
17 years old.
101
00:04:57,868 --> 00:05:00,046
I thought it was because
he was afraid of his father.
102
00:05:00,047 --> 00:05:02,517
But then Gary left,
and it just got worse.
103
00:05:02,518 --> 00:05:06,058
- And that's when he stopped talking?
- And he hasn't left the house since.
104
00:05:06,059 --> 00:05:09,309
Look, I'm not a computer person. I
don't know what Jeremy does online.
105
00:05:09,310 --> 00:05:11,463
But he's extremely fragile.
106
00:05:11,464 --> 00:05:14,737
And unless you've got a magic spell...
107
00:05:14,738 --> 00:05:18,818
He's not gonna talk to you either.
108
00:05:22,605 --> 00:05:24,705
Sweetie.
109
00:05:25,691 --> 00:05:30,384
These are the people from
the FBI I told you about.
110
00:05:30,385 --> 00:05:33,639
Hi, Jeremy. I'm Daniel. This is Kate.
111
00:05:33,640 --> 00:05:35,620
Hello.
112
00:05:35,829 --> 00:05:39,489
You, uh, mind if I sit down?
113
00:05:45,106 --> 00:05:47,107
You don't have to say a word to us.
114
00:05:47,108 --> 00:05:48,905
But Kate does have to
ask you some questions
115
00:05:48,906 --> 00:05:51,177
about the complaint that you made.
116
00:05:51,178 --> 00:05:54,794
So if you want to answer
"yes," why don't you hit the...
117
00:05:54,795 --> 00:05:58,935
"Y" key and the "N" for "no," okay?
118
00:06:03,038 --> 00:06:05,362
Oh! It's okay, Sweetie.
Nothing to worry about.
119
00:06:05,363 --> 00:06:07,622
Mommy will clean it up.
120
00:06:07,623 --> 00:06:11,998
You should see me at home. I'm
like a bull in a China shop.
121
00:06:11,999 --> 00:06:15,942
Jeremy, the avatar that
you reported to the FBI,
122
00:06:15,943 --> 00:06:19,415
MPresario, in real life, he
was a man named Kurt Simpson.
123
00:06:19,416 --> 00:06:22,340
Three weeks ago, he was murdered.
We're trying to figure out who did it.
124
00:06:22,341 --> 00:06:27,548
Do you know of anyone else who is
connected to the credit-card scam?
125
00:06:27,549 --> 00:06:30,309
Just "Y" or "N".
126
00:06:31,837 --> 00:06:34,657
[Breathing shakily]
127
00:06:35,956 --> 00:06:37,826
I think he's having a panic attack.
128
00:06:37,827 --> 00:06:41,896
- Jeremy? Jeremy, just listen to my voice.
- Oh, no. No, no, you don't. Go. Please.
129
00:06:41,897 --> 00:06:44,646
- I... Mrs. Nordhoff...
- Out!
130
00:06:44,647 --> 00:06:47,934
I'm right here, Sweetie.
Let's breathe together.
131
00:06:47,935 --> 00:06:49,855
In...
132
00:06:52,819 --> 00:06:56,826
Take a kid with social anxiety
disorder, add an abusive father...
133
00:06:56,827 --> 00:06:59,121
Who then abandoned the family.
134
00:06:59,122 --> 00:07:00,955
I have to go in there and talk to him.
135
00:07:00,956 --> 00:07:03,909
- Didn't we just try that?
- No, I mean I have to go in that...
136
00:07:03,910 --> 00:07:05,802
Game where he's apparently
able to communicate.
137
00:07:05,803 --> 00:07:07,382
The kid needs therapy badly.
138
00:07:07,383 --> 00:07:09,493
Yeah, well, he also may
have information on a murder.
139
00:07:09,494 --> 00:07:11,849
You can't just go online and
have a conversation with him.
140
00:07:11,850 --> 00:07:13,193
Why not?
141
00:07:13,194 --> 00:07:16,096
Because the rules are different. I
mean, cyber has to monitor everything.
142
00:07:16,097 --> 00:07:18,931
- There are approvals, paperwork...
- How long is that gonna take?
143
00:07:18,932 --> 00:07:20,425
A couple hours.
144
00:07:20,426 --> 00:07:23,914
Day at the most. Try to be patient.
145
00:07:23,915 --> 00:07:25,409
Daniel: Could you hurry up, please?
146
00:07:25,410 --> 00:07:30,012
It's a process, okay? I
have to create your avatar.
147
00:07:30,013 --> 00:07:31,675
All right, so...
148
00:07:31,676 --> 00:07:33,853
Who is the virtual Daniel Pierce?
149
00:07:33,854 --> 00:07:37,020
Make it whatever you want. And
please don't ever ask me that again.
150
00:07:37,021 --> 00:07:39,271
Well, Doc, an avatar is
a form of self-expression.
151
00:07:39,272 --> 00:07:41,859
It's who you are outside
the limits of the real world.
152
00:07:41,860 --> 00:07:45,941
Lewicki, I don't exist outside
the limits of the real world!
153
00:07:45,942 --> 00:07:49,414
Well, okay, sometimes I do, but
I'd rather avoid that if possible.
154
00:07:49,415 --> 00:07:51,302
Well, my avatar looks like M.J.
155
00:07:51,303 --> 00:07:53,496
- Jordan?
- Jackson. Old school version.
156
00:07:53,497 --> 00:07:55,998
I also have a virtual car like
the one in the "thriller" video.
157
00:07:55,999 --> 00:07:58,284
- When he turns into the Werewolf...
- How often do you...
158
00:07:58,285 --> 00:07:59,836
No, never mind, I don't want to know.
159
00:07:59,837 --> 00:08:02,212
Just make the avatar like me.
160
00:08:02,213 --> 00:08:04,710
Only without the, uh...
161
00:08:04,711 --> 00:08:06,426
- Gray hair?
- Exactly.
162
00:08:06,427 --> 00:08:08,461
- What about clothes?
- Definitely.
163
00:08:08,462 --> 00:08:11,321
- But what kind?
- I don't care, Lewicki!
164
00:08:11,322 --> 00:08:12,956
All right. Okay. Uh...
165
00:08:12,957 --> 00:08:17,937
You're getting dark jeans
and a leather jacket.
166
00:08:18,028 --> 00:08:20,372
Oh, check this out.
167
00:08:20,373 --> 00:08:23,320
This place you're going to, the
Prism Lounge, they have karaoke.
168
00:08:23,321 --> 00:08:25,568
- So?
- So you should sing a song!
169
00:08:25,569 --> 00:08:27,693
I'm not gonna sing a song, Lewicki.
170
00:08:27,694 --> 00:08:29,127
Come on, Doc. You love to sing.
171
00:08:29,128 --> 00:08:32,348
Not in front of people. Or cartoons.

If you're not gonna participate,
then what's the point?
173
00:08:34,593 --> 00:08:38,296
I just want to understand
the appeal for Jeremy.

Now what?

00:08:48,795 --> 00:08:51,661
Now you find someone interesting
and start a conversation.
180
00:08:51,662 --> 00:08:55,574
I know how to mingle,
Lewicki. How do I move?
181
00:08:55,575 --> 00:08:57,082
Use the arrow keys.
182
00:08:57,083 --> 00:08:59,208
[Beeping] Yeah?
183
00:08:59,209 --> 00:09:01,401
Okay. Uh...
184
00:09:01,402 --> 00:09:04,448
Just yell if you need me.

00:09:04,449 --> 00:09:07,677

00:09:13,240 --> 00:09:15,932
Jeremy definitely doesn't
come here for the music.

00:09:15,933 --> 00:09:18,384
Hey. That's my girlfriend.

Oh, sorry um...
191
00:09:21,035 --> 00:09:22,828
She's a little flat.
192
00:09:22,829 --> 00:09:24,816
Flat? She's a 36D!
193
00:09:24,817 --> 00:09:26,286
I meant tonally.
194
00:09:26,287 --> 00:09:29,199
- What?
- Never mind.

00:09:29,200 --> 00:09:31,253

You want to buy me a drink?

Yes. In case you hadn't
noticed, you're in a bar.
203
00:09:48,252 --> 00:09:50,620
No, actually I'm in my kitchen.

00:09:50,621 --> 00:09:54,657
If I want a drink, I can shuffle over to
the fridge and pour myself a glass of milk.

- That doesn't sound like much fun.
- Maybe not, but it will quench my thirst.

you really should just...

- I'm starving.
- [Chuckles] I don't know.

But you probably shouldn't
drink on an empty stomach.

Why? Because I might get drunk?

And then I might have
to take advantage of you.

Jeremy, we're the people who came to
see you at your house earlier today.
266
00:13:01,620 --> 00:13:06,163
We thought it might be
easier to talk this way.
267
00:13:06,164 --> 00:13:10,424
Can, uh, we go somewhere more private?
268
00:13:10,928 --> 00:13:14,274
I'm sorry about what happened at my house.
I wish I could have kept it together.

We could see how hard
you were trying, Jeremy.
270
00:13:17,059 --> 00:13:21,177
The thing is, I don't really know that
much about MPresario's credit-card scam.
271
00:13:21,178 --> 00:13:23,050
It was just a rumor I
overheard in the bar.

- Do you remember who said it?
- No.
273
00:13:25,455 --> 00:13:29,801
MPresario created the Prism Lounge, so, I
mean, there was always chatter about him.
274
00:13:29,802 --> 00:13:31,421
Chatter about crimes, or...
275
00:13:31,422 --> 00:13:32,501
Not exactly.
276
00:13:32,502 --> 00:13:35,788
He liked people to think that
he was some kind of gangster.
277
00:13:35,789 --> 00:13:38,572
He'd always talk about how he
was, you know, "connected" to
278
00:13:38,573 --> 00:13:41,969
"certain businessmen," but I
don't know if any of it was true.
279
00:13:41,970 --> 00:13:44,060
But you reported him anyway.
280
00:13:44,061 --> 00:13:46,128
Yeah, I was angry.
281
00:13:46,129 --> 00:13:49,118
He kicked me out of the club. I didn't
really think about what I was doing.
282
00:13:49,119 --> 00:13:50,979
Daniel: What do you
mean he kicked you out?
283
00:13:50,980 --> 00:13:54,145
He put a block on my avatar. So I
literally couldn't enter the club.
284
00:13:54,146 --> 00:13:55,331
Why would he do that?
285
00:13:55,332 --> 00:13:57,731

to hit on his girlfriend.

No. I just talked to her. That's all.
289
00:14:04,889 --> 00:14:07,872
I can't do that in the real world.
290
00:14:07,873 --> 00:14:10,225
I sent MPresario a couple
of messages to explain,
291
00:14:10,226 --> 00:14:11,773
but by then he had already blocked me.
292
00:14:11,774 --> 00:14:14,569
So how did you get back into the club?
293
00:14:14,570 --> 00:14:17,264
The block just disappeared
after a couple weeks.
294

- Sure.

How would you feel if I came
back to your house for a visit?

I don't know. I just don't
want to freak out again.

00:14:37,245 --> 00:14:39,185
I could bring someone to help with that.

- Have you ever talked to a therapist?
- We can't afford it.

My mom gets disability because
she has to take care of me,

back to the real world?

I'm not sure the real
world is such a great place.

00:14:54,600 --> 00:14:57,390
Jeremy, this is imaginary.

"Caleidoscope" isn't

00:15:12,382 --> 00:15:13,906
It exists.
314
00:15:13,907 --> 00:15:18,227
It's just a different kind of reality.

knows about the murder, but it's

Hmm. Looks like I'm getting on a plane.

Kurt and I fell in
love in "Caleidoscope".
323
00:15:46,081 --> 00:15:49,166
I think we knew right away
that we wanted to be together,
324
00:15:49,167 --> 00:15:52,780
but it took us about six months
of sitting up all night, chatting.
325
00:15:52,781 --> 00:15:56,345
Before we got up the
guts to make our plan.
326
00:15:56,346 --> 00:16:00,068
- What kind of plan?
- To run away together in the real world.
327
00:16:00,069 --> 00:16:05,329
He said he had to do a big
business deal to set us up.
328
00:16:05,330 --> 00:16:07,464
Then he just disappeared.

Who was the deal with?
330
00:16:09,134 --> 00:16:11,774
He didn't say.

Ashley, did Kurt ever
say he had any enemies?

00:16:24,268 --> 00:16:25,698
Anybody who wanted to hurt him?
335
00:16:25,699 --> 00:16:29,299
Oh, I know someone
who wanted to hurt him.

00:26:06,674 --> 00:26:12,554
I'm gonna keep grilling her
and her brothers on the murder.
509
00:26:12,629 --> 00:26:16,294
By the way, you look exhausted.
You should get some rest.
510
00:26:16,295 --> 00:26:18,954
I wish I could. I got a class.
511
00:26:18,955 --> 00:26:21,415
Okay, well...
512
00:26:21,729 --> 00:26:25,029
Don't wear yourself out.
513
00:26:29,519 --> 00:26:31,859
Daniel. Hi.
514
00:26:34,881 --> 00:26:36,698
Ileana?
515
00:26:36,699 --> 00:26:40,247
Oh, no, no, no. You're a hallucination.
516
00:26:40,248 --> 00:26:42,948
[Chuckling] What?
517
00:26:43,932 --> 00:26:46,334
I'm sorry. You...
518
00:26:46,335 --> 00:26:49,376
You look exactly like I'd imagined.
519
00:26:49,377 --> 00:26:53,877
Oh, well, I guess I look like my avatar.
520
00:26:53,949 --> 00:26:56,289
So do you.
521
00:26:56,881 --> 00:26:59,383
How... how did you find me?
522
00:26:59,384 --> 00:27:01,822
Well, you said that you were
a college Professor in Chicago,
523
00:27:01,823 --> 00:27:04,021
and your initials are D.J.P.
524
00:27:04,022 --> 00:27:06,204
So that narrowed it down.
525
00:27:06,205 --> 00:27:10,893
And I'm just outside Milwaukee,
so it was an easy trip.
526
00:27:10,894 --> 00:27:13,508
[Chuckles] Oh, God. I'm sorry.
527
00:27:13,509 --> 00:27:16,024
I was so excited to meet you, and I...
528
00:27:16,025 --> 00:27:19,672
I didn't even think about
how you might feel. And I...
529
00:27:19,673 --> 00:27:22,281
Yeah, I suddenly I realize how
inappropriate this is. I should go.
530
00:27:22,282 --> 00:27:24,802
Please don't.
531
00:27:25,749 --> 00:27:28,513
I'm really glad you're here.
532
00:27:28,514 --> 00:27:30,833
I'm assuming this means
you're not contagious.
533
00:27:30,834 --> 00:27:32,442
Oh, Paul, I want you to meet...
534
00:27:32,443 --> 00:27:34,782
That was some pretty unconvincing
theater the other night.
535
00:27:34,783 --> 00:27:39,000
I don't know what it is with you, Daniel.
I mean, I get that you value your privacy.
536
00:27:39,001 --> 00:27:41,625
And you've got your misanthropic
tendencies, and that's all fine.
537
00:27:41,626 --> 00:27:44,059
But I cannot for the life of
me understand what could be
538
00:27:44,060 --> 00:27:47,429
so bad about sharing one
lousy meal with an old friend.
539
00:27:47,430 --> 00:27:49,242
I'm sorry, Paul. I got to go.
540
00:27:49,243 --> 00:27:51,283
Daniel!
541
00:27:56,904 --> 00:27:59,140
Is that really a good idea?
542
00:27:59,141 --> 00:28:01,755
I wouldn't be doing it otherwise.
543
00:28:01,756 --> 00:28:05,025
You just hallucinated
your virtual girlfriend.
544
00:28:05,026 --> 00:28:08,177
- Natalie Vincent, are you jealous?
- I'm concerned.
545
00:28:08,178 --> 00:28:10,969
You're not sleeping. You've
abandoned your routine.
546
00:28:10,970 --> 00:28:13,782
- You know where this leads, Daniel.
- No, I don't.
547
00:28:13,783 --> 00:28:15,661
With you unable to tell
the difference between
548
00:28:15,662 --> 00:28:17,475
the real world and this
land of make-believe.
549
00:28:17,476 --> 00:28:19,452
- It's not gonna happen.
- It's already happening.
550
00:28:19,453 --> 00:28:21,584
You did the same thing
when you first met me.
551
00:28:21,585 --> 00:28:24,281
You're falling in love with an
idealized version of a real person.
552
00:28:24,282 --> 00:28:26,215
It's not the same thing!
553
00:28:26,216 --> 00:28:29,446
You're... you're a
hallucination. I know that.
554
00:28:29,447 --> 00:28:32,219
Ileana is a real person
sitting at a computer somewhere.
555
00:28:32,220 --> 00:28:34,669
We have a real connection and...
556
00:28:34,670 --> 00:28:37,958
To me that's worth the risk.
557
00:28:37,959 --> 00:28:40,779
[Keyboard clacking]
558
00:28:44,266 --> 00:28:45,633
Hi.
559
00:28:45,634 --> 00:28:46,833
Hey.
560
00:28:46,834 --> 00:28:50,471
- How long have you been here?
- I don't know. An hour maybe?
561
00:28:50,472 --> 00:28:52,039
I really wanted to see you.
562
00:28:52,040 --> 00:28:53,973
Listen, uh...
563
00:28:53,974 --> 00:28:58,473
The other day when you asked me
to take you to Kanazawa-en someday,
564
00:28:58,474 --> 00:29:01,148
were you talking about real life?
565
00:29:01,149 --> 00:29:02,752
I don't know. I just said it.
566
00:29:02,753 --> 00:29:05,117
Well, what if I asked you to go with me?
567
00:29:05,118 --> 00:29:07,398
Would you?
568
00:29:08,488 --> 00:29:10,791
I'm afraid that you
would be disappointed.
569
00:29:10,792 --> 00:29:14,447
I don't exactly look
like my avatar, D.J.
570
00:29:14,448 --> 00:29:18,468
No, I don't care about that. I...
571
00:29:19,267 --> 00:29:21,247
D.J.?
572
00:29:22,512 --> 00:29:26,057
You don't look like your avatar.
573
00:29:26,058 --> 00:29:28,860
Wait. What's wrong?
574
00:29:28,861 --> 00:29:32,281
I'm sorry. I have to go.
575
00:29:36,451 --> 00:29:38,791
Kate. Kate.
576
00:29:39,110 --> 00:29:41,288
We were wrong. Mai Quang wasn't lying.
577
00:29:41,289 --> 00:29:42,993
There was a beating in that parking lot,
578
00:29:42,994 --> 00:29:45,426
but her brothers didn't know
what Kurt Simpson looked like.
579
00:29:45,427 --> 00:29:49,152
- They just knew MPresario, his avatar.
- So you think they beat up someone else?
580
00:29:49,153 --> 00:29:52,289
Yes! Simpson must have sent someone
else to pick up the cash for him.
581
00:29:52,290 --> 00:29:54,055
I don't know if that person had
something to do with the murder
582
00:29:54,056 --> 00:29:57,271
or not, but I'm telling you,
Mai and her brothers didn't.
583
00:29:57,272 --> 00:30:00,030
Daniel, let's just take a breath.
584
00:30:00,031 --> 00:30:02,731
[Exhales sharply]
585
00:30:05,516 --> 00:30:08,215
- Kate?
- What is it?
586
00:30:08,216 --> 00:30:10,316
Oh, no.
587
00:30:12,921 --> 00:30:17,618
- I'm stuck in the game.
- [Echoing] Daniel?
588
00:30:17,619 --> 00:30:20,379
[Echoing] Lewicki!
589
00:30:20,709 --> 00:30:23,077
Lewicki, get... get me out of here!
590
00:30:23,078 --> 00:30:25,838
[Distorted voices]
591
00:30:26,348 --> 00:30:28,448
Lewicki!
592
00:30:39,472 --> 00:30:44,572
Daniel, I told you. The
rules are different here.
593
00:30:48,185 --> 00:30:50,705
[Woman laughs]
594
00:30:50,990 --> 00:30:54,276
Daniel. Daniel, it's me.
595
00:30:54,277 --> 00:30:55,703
It's me.
596
00:30:55,704 --> 00:30:58,879
Daniel, it's me. It's me. See?
597
00:30:58,880 --> 00:31:01,716
We're here. Everything's okay.
598
00:31:01,717 --> 00:31:03,907
No. No, no, no. No, I'm stuck.
599
00:31:03,908 --> 00:31:07,534
I got to get back to reality.
I have to talk to the real Kate.
600
00:31:07,535 --> 00:31:09,308
This is all real if we want it to be.
601
00:31:09,309 --> 00:31:13,060
No, it isn't, no matter
how much we want it to be.
602
00:31:13,061 --> 00:31:15,297
Natalie was right. This...
603
00:31:15,298 --> 00:31:17,424
This place isn't good for me.
604
00:31:17,425 --> 00:31:20,167
You're not good for me.
605
00:31:20,168 --> 00:31:22,487
I can't see you anymore.
606
00:31:22,488 --> 00:31:25,248
You're not real!
607
00:31:25,774 --> 00:31:29,494
I'm sorry. Ileana, I'm sorry.
608
00:31:33,507 --> 00:31:37,647
Jeremy, please, you have to help me.
609
00:31:38,601 --> 00:31:42,501
Tell me how to get out of here.
610
00:31:46,763 --> 00:31:49,664
Sorry. I didn't see that.
611
00:31:49,665 --> 00:31:52,125
Lewicki: Doc?
612
00:31:52,267 --> 00:31:54,487
Doc? Doc?
613
00:31:57,640 --> 00:31:59,474
Is this real or... or "Caleidoscope"?
614
00:31:59,475 --> 00:32:03,735
This is the real world. Are you okay?
615
00:32:04,154 --> 00:32:06,232
- I got to see Kate.
- Right now? Why?
616
00:32:06,233 --> 00:32:09,837
Mai Quang's brothers
didn't beat up Kurt Simpson.
617
00:32:09,838 --> 00:32:13,438
They beat up Jeremy Nordhoff.
618
00:32:20,431 --> 00:32:22,892
Kate: Daniel, it's impossible.
619
00:32:22,893 --> 00:32:25,225
Jeremy Nordhoff can't
even leave his room,
620
00:32:25,226 --> 00:32:29,071
let alone drive to Fort Wayne, Indiana,
to get beat up by the Quang brothers.
621
00:32:29,072 --> 00:32:30,212
Now, what am I missing here?
622
00:32:30,213 --> 00:32:32,964
Imagine somebody literally
took your life away.
623
00:32:32,965 --> 00:32:37,160
What would you be willing
to do to get it back?
624
00:32:37,161 --> 00:32:39,862
It was like my life
was suddenly just over.
625
00:32:39,863 --> 00:32:42,415
Every day, I would wake up.
626
00:32:42,416 --> 00:32:44,716
And check to see if MPresario
responded to my messages
627
00:32:44,717 --> 00:32:47,589
or lifted the block, and
then I'd go back to bed.
628
00:32:47,590 --> 00:32:51,280
And without the club, without my friends,
there wasn't any reason to get up.
629
00:32:51,281 --> 00:32:52,951
Why did MPresario let you back in?
630
00:32:52,952 --> 00:32:54,943
Like I said, I figured it
was Krystalline's doing.
631
00:32:54,944 --> 00:32:57,118
No. No. You said he thought
of himself as a gangster.
632
00:32:57,119 --> 00:32:58,012
So?
633
00:32:58,013 --> 00:32:59,862
So gangsters don't just
give you what you want,
634
00:32:59,863 --> 00:33:02,017
not without getting
something they want in return.
635
00:33:02,018 --> 00:33:05,065
Simpson was supposed to pick up
$20,000 from the Quang brothers,
636
00:33:05,066 --> 00:33:06,621
men he knew were violent.
637
00:33:06,622 --> 00:33:08,990
So he wanted someone else
to pick up his cash for him.
638
00:33:08,991 --> 00:33:11,560
But who in their right mind
would do something that dangerous?
639
00:33:11,561 --> 00:33:14,435
They'd have to be
completely desperate...
640
00:33:14,436 --> 00:33:20,336
Like the kid he kicked out of the
club who was begging to be let back in.
641
00:33:22,571 --> 00:33:27,011
I had him lift the block before I left.
642
00:33:27,398 --> 00:33:31,074
I knew that it would go back on if
I didn't come through, but if I did,
643
00:33:31,075 --> 00:33:35,149
- I didn't want him screwing me over.
- Kate: After so many years in your room...
644
00:33:35,150 --> 00:33:40,618
What made you think that you
could just leave or drive a car?
645
00:33:40,619 --> 00:33:43,919
Nothing. I was terrified.
646
00:33:44,649 --> 00:33:48,178
In fact, for a while, I was
pretty sure I couldn't do it.
647
00:33:48,179 --> 00:33:52,140
But I knew that it was my only shot.
648
00:33:52,141 --> 00:33:56,527
And then suddenly, I got to
the car, and it was easier.
649
00:33:56,528 --> 00:33:59,962
I mean, I haven't driven since I
was 17, but I remember liking it.
650
00:33:59,963 --> 00:34:03,165
Just being alone, enclosed...
651
00:34:03,166 --> 00:34:04,978
It's like being in my own world.
652
00:34:04,979 --> 00:34:07,003
So I drove to where I
was supposed to meet them.
653
00:34:07,004 --> 00:34:12,904
But when I got out of the car
again, it turned into a nightmare.
654
00:34:18,016 --> 00:34:20,236
[Grunting]
655
00:34:36,376 --> 00:34:39,308
At some point, you took a hard blow
to the back of the head on the right.
656
00:34:39,309 --> 00:34:42,510
- Yeah. How did you know?
- The glass you knocked over.
657
00:34:42,511 --> 00:34:48,065
Trauma to the back right side of the
brain can affect the left visual field.
658
00:34:48,066 --> 00:34:50,811
Tito don't like when
people get greedy, bro.
659
00:34:50,812 --> 00:34:53,572
Keep it in mind.
660
00:34:55,024 --> 00:34:58,962
I don't know how long it took me
to get up, but eventually I did.
661
00:34:58,963 --> 00:35:02,263
And then you drove home?
662
00:35:03,087 --> 00:35:05,127
Jeremy?
663
00:35:07,140 --> 00:35:10,580
I drove home that
night... but I didn't stay.
664
00:35:10,581 --> 00:35:14,266
I got my mother's gun, then
I got back in the car, and
665
00:35:14,267 --> 00:35:16,128
I drove to the motel in Three Rivers.
666
00:35:16,129 --> 00:35:18,745
And you shot Kurt Simpson?
667
00:35:18,746 --> 00:35:21,571
All I could think was
that guy set me up.
668
00:35:21,572 --> 00:35:24,347
And since I didn't get his money,
he had an excuse to block me again
669
00:35:24,348 --> 00:35:28,901
and to keep me from the one place
where I can actually have friends.
670
00:35:28,902 --> 00:35:32,194
You're damn right I shot him.
671
00:35:32,195 --> 00:35:35,495
I didn't have a choice.
672
00:35:36,920 --> 00:35:39,751
[Door opens] Stephanie:
You might have called.
673
00:35:39,752 --> 00:35:42,853
I'd rather not repeat what happened
the last time you tried to talk to him.
674
00:35:42,854 --> 00:35:46,462
We're here to arrest Jeremy. He has
confessed to the murder of Kurt Simpson.
675
00:35:46,463 --> 00:35:48,453
- He what?
- Is he in his room?
676
00:35:48,454 --> 00:35:51,257
No, wait. Just wait. This is impossible.
677
00:35:51,258 --> 00:35:53,739
I mean, Jeremy isn't capable
of doing something like this.
678
00:35:53,740 --> 00:35:56,722
Why? Because he hasn't left
the house in five years?
679
00:35:56,723 --> 00:36:00,033
You must have noticed when he
came home bruised and bloodied,
680
00:36:00,034 --> 00:36:02,304
with your gun, in your car.
681
00:36:02,305 --> 00:36:04,322
You didn't mention that
the last time we were here.
682
00:36:04,323 --> 00:36:06,177
You're an accessory to
murder, Mrs. Nordhoff.
683
00:36:06,178 --> 00:36:10,094
I don't know what kind of revenge
plot he's cooked up for you, but
684
00:36:10,095 --> 00:36:13,330
he lives in a fantasy world.
685
00:36:13,331 --> 00:36:15,488
I mean, the Prism
Lounge, the bartending...
686
00:36:15,489 --> 00:36:18,153
Anything that he says in there
is just part of his imagination.
687
00:36:18,154 --> 00:36:22,889
I thought you said you didn't know
anything about what Jeremy did online.
688
00:36:22,890 --> 00:36:26,370
- I don't.
- Yes, you do.
689
00:36:27,794 --> 00:36:33,694
Jeremy is not the only one living
in a fantasy world, is he...
690
00:36:34,879 --> 00:36:36,919
Ileana?
691
00:36:47,224 --> 00:36:49,095
I joined "Caleidoscope" months ago,
692
00:36:49,096 --> 00:36:52,528
when I realized Jeremy was
spending all of his time there.
693
00:36:52,529 --> 00:36:55,610
I just wanted to keep an eye on him.
And he never knew Ileana was really me.
694
00:36:55,611 --> 00:36:57,314
Ha! Yeah. That makes two of us.
695
00:36:57,315 --> 00:36:59,458
- Daniel...
- You lied to me.
696
00:36:59,459 --> 00:37:01,898
When you realized that we
found Jeremy in "Caleidoscope".
697
00:37:01,899 --> 00:37:04,111
- You used Ileana to get close to me.
- That's not true.
698
00:37:04,112 --> 00:37:06,654
Oh come on, you were trying to
keep tabs on the investigation.
699
00:37:06,655 --> 00:37:08,598
- Okay, I was, but I...
- Which means that you...
700
00:37:08,599 --> 00:37:12,823
You were either trying
to protect Jeremy or s...
701
00:37:12,824 --> 00:37:15,284
Someone else.
702
00:37:16,282 --> 00:37:21,142
You said yourself he's
not capable of murder.
703
00:37:21,454 --> 00:37:24,154
That leaves you.
704
00:37:26,965 --> 00:37:29,574
I want you to try to imagine...
705
00:37:29,575 --> 00:37:32,596
What you would you do if your
boy was afraid of the world,
706
00:37:32,597 --> 00:37:36,167
and one morning all
of his fears came true.
707
00:37:36,168 --> 00:37:41,482
I didn't even know he'd left
the house or that he could.
708
00:37:41,483 --> 00:37:46,635
Seeing him in that state was
the worst moment of my life.
709
00:37:46,636 --> 00:37:49,781
I held him till he stopped shaking.
710
00:37:49,782 --> 00:37:52,650
I cleaned him up. I dressed his wounds.
711
00:37:52,651 --> 00:37:58,551
And then I had him type out the
whole story, everything that happened.
712
00:37:58,680 --> 00:38:02,987
And when I realized this
MPresario person had set him up...
713
00:38:02,988 --> 00:38:06,828
Something inside me just snapped.
714
00:38:18,759 --> 00:38:20,445
No!
715
00:38:20,446 --> 00:38:22,483
[Groans]
716
00:38:22,484 --> 00:38:24,154
Did you tell Jeremy what you did?
717
00:38:24,155 --> 00:38:26,051
I told him everything
was back to normal.
718
00:38:26,052 --> 00:38:29,854
Well, he must have figured it out,
because he confessed to protect you.
719
00:38:29,855 --> 00:38:31,589
What happens to Jeremy if I go to jail?
720
00:38:31,590 --> 00:38:33,370
He can't take care of himself.
721
00:38:33,371 --> 00:38:36,187
I'll make sure he
gets the help he needs.
722
00:38:36,188 --> 00:38:39,584
It's time to go, Stephanie.
723
00:38:39,585 --> 00:38:42,345
Stand up, please.
724
00:38:43,231 --> 00:38:46,411
Hands behind your back.
725
00:38:47,506 --> 00:38:49,406
I want you to know...
726
00:38:49,407 --> 00:38:52,468
I didn't realize who you were until
your partner showed up in "Caleidoscope".
727
00:38:52,469 --> 00:38:54,221
No, we don't have to...
728
00:38:54,222 --> 00:38:59,202
No, no. You're funny and
cynical and sensitive.
729
00:38:59,355 --> 00:39:03,208
And I don't expect you
to believe me, but...
730
00:39:03,209 --> 00:39:06,929
My feelings for you were real.
731
00:39:28,351 --> 00:39:30,664
I meant it when I said
I couldn't see you.
732
00:39:30,665 --> 00:39:32,408
I'm here for professional reasons.
733
00:39:32,409 --> 00:39:34,355
There's a patient I'd like you to see.
734
00:39:34,356 --> 00:39:37,896
It's someone I can't help.
735
00:39:44,924 --> 00:39:47,684
[Knock on window]
736
00:39:49,835 --> 00:39:50,850
Daniel.
737
00:39:50,851 --> 00:39:54,489
I'm sorry about my
birthday, Paul. [Sighs]
738
00:39:54,490 --> 00:40:00,137
I know it doesn't make up for
the famous Chef guy, but...
739
00:40:00,138 --> 00:40:03,167
I was hoping you'd join me for...
740
00:40:03,168 --> 00:40:05,808
One lousy meal.
741
00:40:07,929 --> 00:40:10,759
Take a good look at the
person sitting closest to you.
742
00:40:10,760 --> 00:40:12,551
What do you see?
743
00:40:12,552 --> 00:40:13,958
A rival?
744
00:40:13,959 --> 00:40:15,733
An ex-lover?
745
00:40:15,734 --> 00:40:19,635
The guy who thinks you don't know
he copies your notes every class?
746
00:40:19,636 --> 00:40:25,096
Would it surprise you to
learn it's mostly a fantasy?
747
00:40:25,837 --> 00:40:30,974
We get to know people by taking a few
small clues, that we have about them.
748
00:40:30,975 --> 00:40:34,969
And processing it all
through a neural filter laden,
749
00:40:34,970 --> 00:40:38,268
with our own personal biases.
750
00:40:38,269 --> 00:40:43,388
We rely on our mind to fill in
the blanks of their identity.
751
00:40:43,389 --> 00:40:46,115
But who the people in
our lives really are...
752
00:40:46,116 --> 00:40:48,406
Their essence...
753
00:40:48,407 --> 00:40:51,377
That's in their brains, not ours.
754
00:40:51,378 --> 00:40:55,204
The reality is, until the next
high-school dropout from Silicon Valley
755
00:40:55,205 --> 00:41:00,144
invents a way for us to literally plug
in to the brains of another person.
756
00:41:00,145 --> 00:41:03,167
We can never really know who they are.
757
00:41:03,168 --> 00:41:08,946
All we can do is arm ourselves
with what we know to be true...
758
00:41:08,947 --> 00:41:11,407
Our feelings.
759
00:41:20,697 --> 00:41:24,171
Love, anger, longing,
happiness, fear, friendship...
760
00:41:24,172 --> 00:41:28,280
These are the brain's guidance system.
761
00:41:28,281 --> 00:41:30,862
It's true north.
762
00:41:30,863 --> 00:41:34,649
And if we can manage to trust them...
763
00:41:34,650 --> 00:41:40,102
They can usually help us
find what we're looking for.
