Life has made me what I am.
So has death.
The wonders I've seen in this world
and the other have shaped my creative decisions.
And I have created something unthinkable.
No, please, leave me alone!
No, I'm going to eat you!
No!
Please!
Well, okay, because you asked so nicely.
What?
No.
You're not supposed to stop getting me.
Sorry, sweetie.
That's it for Masterpiece Theater.
It's time for bed.
Yeah, I know.
Pancakes for breakfast?
Absolutely.
Yes!
Night, sweetness.
Night, daddy.
Looks like a bear attack.
Sky, help me get him back into the van.
Rebecca, you take the girl back in their car.
This is like a dream.
I know.
Hi.
Hello.
Good morning.
Ow.
Who are you?
I'm Lotus Cloud.
I'm Sky.
Where's my daughter?
Oh, Samantha, she's in bubble class.
What?
You know, bubble class.
Right.
Can I see her?
Of course.
But first, let's get a picture for our healing wall.
All right.
Smile.
Great.
Oh.
Would you like one?
No.
For your healing wall.
Oh, yes.
One, two, three.
So, where's Samantha?
Right up there at the kid's bunkhouse.
Daddy!
Oh, hey Sam!
Mmm.
Why don't you take that off so I can see if you're okay?
Me?
Did you show your daddy what we made today?
Yeah, you can't miss it.
Cool, right?
Yeah.
Yes.
The face, it's smiling.
Symbolizing happiness.
I'm Rebecca.
Greg.
I cannot thank you enough for ev-
- For everything?
I know.
It fills our souls.
It's the cycle of life.
The cycle of life.
Speaking of which, you should meet Matthew.
Here.
Wow, love and blessings.
And love.
- And blessings. - And love.
And blessings!
Hello, I'm Greg.
Yes.
Come.
Sit.
Thanks.
Welcome to the circle.
I offer you sustenance.
Food.
No, yeah.
Yeah, I get that it's just I don't know
if I can eat anything right now.
I'm just not feeling quite right.
Fine.
Broth then.
Ah, well, look at that.
Okay.
The circle provides.
Oh my god.
That is, that is so good.
Fucking right it is.
Well, that's okay.
We've been swearing in front of her all day.
So.
Uh, so.
So.
Yeah, so.
So.
What is it like to be a hero?
What?
Are you kidding?
You saved your daughter's life.
You saved her from the bear attack.
No, I didn't.
Almost being killed is not the same as being a hero.
Bullshit.
You're a hero, own it.
So, what is this place, exactly?
I assume you're referring to the circle.
No, I don't mean this circle, right here,
I mean this whole place.
This place is The Circle.
Then, yes, that's what I'm referring to.
The Circle is more than just a place.
It's a path.
Circular path.
It leads you to yourself.
Whatever you are, that's what you'll find.
For example, my path leads to love.
And mine leads to bliss.
And mine leads to enlightenment.
And where does yours lead?
Anne Arbor, Michigan.
Kidding.
But seriously-
- Hey, where did my daughter go?
Does your growth process provide you access-
Hey, Sam, honey?
To the kinds of truths expressed by Lotus Cloud,
Rebecca and Sky?
- Boo! - Oh, fuck!
Sorry.
Look.
See?
The Circle.
That's beautiful, sweetheart.
Hey, why don't you take that mask off?
I don't want to.
I like it.
I see that old photo on the wall has caught your eye.
Yeah.
Who is that guy?
That is Percy Stevens.
Founder of The Circle.
Entrancing, isn't he?
Hey, love and blessings, brother.
Hey.
- Love and blessings. - Michael, sorry.
Greg, it's a pleasure to meet you.
Hey, I am gonna go and see if I can't catch us
some fish for lunch.
I'll join you.
Oh, no, no, I don't want to take you from our new guest.
Besides, we can't leave Greg here alone
with all these beautiful women.
Right?
Nonsense.
I'd love to come fishing.
Well, all right then.
Daddy.
Yeah?
I love it here.
Can we stay?
That's great, sweetie, but we can't stay.
We have to be going, okay?
But are you going to be okay to drive?
Why don't we take you back to your room
so you can lie down?
You can drive when you're feeling better.
No.
Look, I'm a little concerned.
I'm worried that she could be in shock or something.
I'm just-
- I think the best thing
for her is to be with other children.
You should have seen her today.
She was active and social.
She even slept in her own bunk last night
in the kid's cabin.
Go on.
Rest up.
I'll take good care of Samantha.
Will you be all right if I go and lay down, honey?
Yes, Daddy!
All right.
- All right. - Here we go.
Easy does it.
Sleep well.
Dip, dip and swing.
Swing.
Daddy.
Swing.
Nice work, ladies.
Sam.
Samantha.
Okay.
Sam.
Shh.
Don't wake the kiddies.
They took my fucking phone.
Love and blessings, Greg!
Love and blessings.
How did you sleep?
Feeling better?
Rebecca makes the best pancakes.
You have to have some.
Yes, we will.
Hey, Sky.
Have you seen my phone?
We don't have your phone.
Love and blessings.
- And love. - And blessings.
And love, yes.
Everyone!
Come, eat with us.
Absolutely.
Everyone, this is Tina.
I picked her up on the overpass.
She is going to join us for breakfast
and maybe stay the night.
Or longer if she wants.
Come!
Join the circle.
I love circles.
Would you like some pancakes.
Oh, yes please.
- I'm starving. - Oh!
Entrancing isn't he?
Yes.
Er, who do you mean?
Percy.
In that photo?
Yes.
- I - want to meet Percy.
Oh, no, Sam.
You can't meet him.
Daddy, why can't I?
I don't think he's around anymore.
Oh, no.
He's around.
I'm sorry?
Yeah.
He lives in the hidden cabin at the center of the circle.
I'd have thought you'd have felt his aura by now.
What's he like?
I don't know.
I've never met him.
None of us have.
Why not?
He's unattainable.
He's what?
Oh, well, to meet Percy Stevens is to be Percy Stevens.
And to be Percy Stevens is-
- To meet Percy Stevens is-
To be Percy Stevens-
- Is to meet Percy Stevens.
Speaking of.
Look what I found whilst wandering
through the cosmos this morning.
Oh.
The meaning.
From Percy.
The meaning?
The meaning is the message.
And the message is the meaning.
So then, what's the message?
That is exactly the question.
What is?
We have to figure out what it is.
What?
The message?
The meaning.
So you have to figure out the meaning of the meaning.
- Exactly. - Awesome.
Ow, daddy.
Greg?
Are you okay?
I'm, yes.
I just, uh, need some air.
Come on, Sam.
Let's go take a walk.
Still dizzy.
Come on, Sam.
Slow down!
Where are we going?
Over here.
I don't want to go!
It's okay.
I promise you we'll be right back.
I just need to go and pick up some stuff, okay?
I want to go with-
Come here.
Get in there.
Go, go, go.
Ow!
That hurt.
I hate you!
That's fine.
Oh, shit.
I want to go back with Rebecca!
Sam, get your voice down, please!
I don't want to go!
Sam, shh!
No, Sam!
Sam, no, no, no, no, no!
Sam, get back here.
Samantha!
Sam.
Welcome to the circle.
I'm Percy Stevens.
No.
You're Michael.
You're dead.
How are you not dead?
The circle of life doesn't just stop
because you're an un-believer, Greg.
There is no end to a circle.
It just cycles and recycles.
But once you're in the circle,
you'll have ever-lasting life.
And ever-lasting death.
It's the same thing, really.
You'll see.
Welcome to the circle.
I'm Percy Stevens.
No.
Not happening.
Do you have a favorite religion, Greg?
If you don't talk to me you'll just die.
And your life will have meant nothing.
If, however, you engage me in conversation
something interesting might happen.
And you'll have a fighting chance.
Fighting chance?
That's right.
This is this a hallucination?
Did you drug me?
There is no such thing as a hallucination.
Anything that is perceived necessarily exists.
Otherwise we wouldn't perceive it.
I don't know what that means.
Of course you don't because it doesn't have any meaning.
Nothing does.
Once you understand that
you'll have grasped the meaning of life.
Okay, okay.
Okay.
How about that fighting chance thing?
Can I have my fighting chance now?
Oh, you're eager to die.
That's fine.
Let's do that.
No, no, no.
Live, I need to live.
It is imperative that I live.
Well then you'll love death.
Nothing makes you feel more alive than dying.
No, listen.
Listen.
Michael, Percy, whoever.
Look, I have a daughter and she's back in the,
wherever I was just before here.
And she's, I need to,
I cannot die, okay?
Of course you can.
I've died dozens of times and look at me.
Death is what makes the circle go around.
I remember my first time.
It still haunts my dreams.
There's nothing quite like the feeling
of having the air sucked out of you.
Staring into your own soul as it all plays out.
To behold your own death up close in all its truth.
That is the highest level of enlightenment
a human being can achieve.
Do you fish, Greg?
What?
God damn it.
What the, ahh!
Yes!
Okay, reel him in, Rebecca.
This is for really big fish.
Got him.
Nice shot, Sky.
Yeah.
Nice shot, Sky.
And the children of the circle shall
have dominion over the fish of the forest.
Sky.
Would you do the honors?
Really?
Wow.
Okay, of course.

Samantha!
Daddy?
Are you inside?
Daddy?
Are you here?
Dip, dip and swing.
Samantha!
- Sky, go after her. - I'll go.
No, got it!
Oh!
Hi, kids.
Have, uh, any of you seen Samantha?
I, uh, need to find her.
Because she got sick.
She, uh, needs her medicine.
No?
None of you have seen her?
Have you seen Samantha?
Are you sure?
You little liars!
Rebecca.
I want to see her so badly.
I'm telling you if I could just talk
to her she'd come home.
I know it.
Highly unlikely.
I told you.
After we take her she still needs to be de-programmed.
She's not going to come willingly.
I've planned for that.
Planned what?
What?
This?
Are you fucking serious?
Ah, Grady, I think shooting her
would defeat the purpose of rescuing her.
Don't you?
Chill out.
That's a tranquilizer gun.
I make my own tranqs.
Only as a last resort.
In case she resists.
Which she will.
So-
- I think you might need to dial it down
a notch there, Rambo.
You have no idea the garbage
that's been poured into her head.
She might not even know who you are at this point.
Oh, please.
She's been in the circle over two years.
Any longer, you might as well just say goodbye to her.
At this point she's on the cusp of salvageable.
Salvageable?
Like what?
Like she's a shipwreck?
Not unlike.
You're talking about my wife, dude.
I'm sure she was a very nice person.
Was?
- So, so- - Was?
So, the deprogramming.
Is it usually, um, a long process?
There is no usual for these people.
There's only unusual.
I've prepared for that, also.
You planned for the unusual.
What does that even mean?
You talk like a stoned robot.
Well, when you've spent as much time
as I have with brainwashed drones,
stoned robot-ness kind of rubs off.
I'm sure.
And the circle, man.
They're in a category all their own.
Their leader, this Percy Stevens cat,
you need a whole new dictionary to get a read on him.
Wow.
What a mad genius.
It's awesome.
Shut up, James.
I want to hear more about this Percy Stevens.
Go on, Grady.
Yeah.
Percy.
Here's a guy who trained combat elephants in Malaysia.
He was a world class spelunker at age 14.
New Zealand national chess champion three years running.
A renowned theater director in Austria.
Master puppeteer, ventriloquist, hypnotist, spiritualist
and this was all before he was recruited
as a special-ops diver for the U.S. Navy in 1950.
That's when he went.
What happened?
Deep sea diving mission gone wrong.
The South China sea.
About an hour into the dive, apparently,
he started behaving, strangely.
The details are fuzzy.
But apparently he never resurfaced.
Staged his own death if you ask me.
But he slipped away somehow, obviously.
Because he's here now.
This is all very fascinating, kind of bullshit sounding,
but honestly I could care less about incredible feats
this fucking asshole has claimed
to have accomplished in his life.
All I know is he has my wife and I want her back.
He can go fuck him, ah!
You want to see your wife again,
you shut your mouth and open your mind!
This is some multi-dimensional kung-fu
we're getting into here, boy.
Where was she?
Just standing here.
Is that Sam?
What's wrong with her?
She's not speaking.
She seems in shock.
She's faking it.
I know.
I saw her!
What are you doing, Sky?
She's one of us.
No, she isn't.
She's totally outside the circle.
You saw how she acted.
She ran!
How she acted?
You do realize Greg is her father, don't you?
That has nothing to do with it.
I like Greg too.
So what?
The circle doesn't give a shit.
Okay.
Girls.
Bring it down.
You probably just startled her yesterday.
Look at her.
That is not an act.
Samantha.
Are you with us?
Maybe she saw Percy.
What?
Look at her.
She's on a different plain.
A higher circle.
Nonsense.
Nobody sees Percy.
Well, not nobody.
Fuck.
What?
Just fuck.
How much longer do we have to wait?
Wait until it's time as planned.
If you're restless, stick your thumb up your ass.
It does wonders.
Is that what they taught you in group?
James!
What?
It's not big secret.
That's where Terry met him.
He's mentally unstable.
Just stating a fact.
Leave him alone and just let him do his job.
We have to do this right.
That's what we hired him for.
Because he knows what he's doing.
Right?
Grady?
I know Percy Stevens if that's what you mean.
I've studied him.
He's way ahead of the curve.
Most of the guru frauds at least try
to create the facade of a comprehensible belief system
but not Percy.
His dogma don't bark.
There's absolutely no logic or reason to it.
He just makes shit up as he goes along.
That's his belief system.
His belief system is that his belief system is bullshit?
Exactly.
And his puppet followers just eat it up
because he's so frank it's disarming.
So now you're calling my wife a puppet.
No, James, he's not.
Yeah, I am.
You're lucky she is a puppet because
if she wasn't she might not be around now.
Doubters and un-believers tend to vanish.
Never to be seen again.
Hey.
Ever heard of tact?
I'm not plotting a bar mitzvah here this is kidnapping.
I understand that.
But could you be a little less reptilian?
Firecat.
Stop.
Speak more clearly.
Is she-
Firecat shut up and answer my question.
What's wrong?
Who's Firecat?
Is she ready?
Then why are you calling me?
Look, you could blow the whole thing.
Get off the phone and call me back
when you've secured the whole package.
To fuck with the package.
Mission aborted.
Grady, they are bringing mannequins to life.
Either that or I am having an episode.
Calm down Firecat-
- Like a really bad one!
They're not bringing anything to life
and you are not losing your mind.
Bringing what to life?
Pay attention to what I am telling you.
Firecat?
Tina?
Grady, tell us what's happening.
Does she have Rebecca or not?
She hung up.
So call her back!
Are you really that stupid?
Is that you in there, Tina?
Yes?
We were beginning to worry.
Are you all right?
Yes, I'm fine.
Can you open the door, please?
Sure.
Just a sec.
I'm just
splashing some water.
That doesn't sound credible, Tina.
Partly because that's not the kind of thing someone does,
and partly because I heard you talking.
What?
Yes, I was talking.
I do that.
Tina, I really need you to open this door.
Now.
Sure.
No problem.
Let's go.
Shouldn't we wait for her to call back?
No.
We're going now.
What about the plan?
I thought we had to wait until Firecat
had Rebecca all packaged up and ready to go.
Plans change.
I planned for that too.
♪ You don't know me at all ♪
♪ You don't know me ♪
♪ You stand behind this great big wall ♪
♪ Not afraid to let me down ♪
♪ Just afraid to turn around and see what's on the dark side ♪
♪ Don't wait for me ♪
♪ I'll find you when you follow the sun ♪
Okay, here's the deal.
We're just three adventuresome,
road-tripping friends in search
of an out-of-the-way hot spring.
Hmmm.
This feels wrong.
Vara.
What?
Nothing.
This place looks deserted.
- It's a facade. - What?
Nothing.
You two stay here.
If you see anything, make a shit-load of noise.
Whoa, whoa, whoa, wait where the hell's Rebecca?
If I see her, I'll ask her.
This isn't creepy at all.
I need to find a non-poisonous toilet desperately.
Grady said to stay here.
Yeah, I heard him.
Seriously?
You'd just leave me here?
You're welcome to join me if you'd like.
Fuck you, James.
No, you tried that one.
Remember?
It didn't work out so well, did it?
No, you hit on me!
I was drunk!
And you are the one who told her!
Now look at where we are!
Olly olly oxen free!
You little puppets.
Oh, shit!
Sorry!
Wait.
What?
Did you find anyone?
Smoke and mirrors.
What?
Nothing.
Where's dickhead?
He couldn't hold it.
Where is everyone?
Hiding?
Oh, they're not hiding.
Percy's hiding them.
What?
Like a magician?
The old disappearing cult trick?
No.
It's not magic.
You just said it's smoke and mirrors.
It is.
And that's a metaphor.
The whole thing is a metaphor.
The circle is a metaphor.
That makes about zero sense.
I don't expect it to make any sense to you.
You have to have spent some time here to understand it
and even then it makes no sense.
Wait, what did you just say?
Have to have spent time here?
Have you spent time here before today?
Yes.
What?
When?
Why didn't you tell us?
You never asked.
No, fuck that answer.
When were you here?
I was born here.
In that shack, right over there.
Why on Earth didn't you tell us that?
Okay, sure.
Let's walk how that would have worked.
I tell you that I grew up in the same psycho scout camp that
and I became so that I couldn't distinguish
between my nightmares and my daily life.
And that my mother tried to disappear me
when I was nine years old because I pointed out
that some things about this place seemed a little weird.
I tell you all of that and you respond, how?
Oh, God.
Grady, I'm so sorry.
What are you doing?
I'm, I'm just trying to be compassionate.
That's lost on me.
That part of me is gone.
They stole it.
James.
James!
Everything okay in there?
- James! - Shh.
Okay, why are you doing that?
What?
Is this a trick?
It's more like an echo.
This is where you were born.
Mm-hmm.
Oh shit!
Don't come in!
Don't!
You do not want to walk through that door.
What door?
There is no door.
What?
What happened to the door?
Do not look in the mirrors.
Why?
They're not mirrors.
You just called it a mirror.
They're not normal mirrors.
What the hell are they?
They're more like circles.
Feedback loops.
Please don't freak me out like this.
What the hell are you doing?
Nothing.
We have to do something!
We are.
- What? - Nothing.
But doing nothing isn't doing anything.
In a feedback loop it is.
What are you talking about?
If you give it nothing it has nothing to feed back.
Sorry.
What?
The thing we have to do is nothing.
But doing nothing isn't doing anything.
In a feedback loop it is.
What are you talking about?
If you give it nothing it has nothing to feed back.
It's Percy.
The trick is to not engage.
If you do, it's over.
That's how he pulls you in.
You can't engage in a logical argument with him
because he creates circular arguments.
And even if you think you can break the circle he...
he just changed the rules.
You're pulled right back in.
Nothing?
Welcome to the circle.
I'm Percy Stevens.
What is this?
The circle.
A place for healing.
Rebirth.
And enlightenment.
Isn't that right, Steve?
I'm kidding.
I know they're just dummies.
But my followers don't.
They think they're real people.
It is hard to find reliable followers this day and age.
Believe it or not.
Hence, the mannequins.
Is this heaven?
Did I die?
You see, James, if you believe something
is real for long enough then it is real.
Matthew and Sky and whatever-cloud, they have been told
for so long that all of these mannequins are real people.
They honestly don't know the difference anymore.
That's it, I'm in hell.
I'm in hell.
That's what it is.
It's all about the language.
The rhetorical packaging.
People are ravenous for the spiritual metaphorical stuff.
It's a drug.
The other night, for example, I sent them one
of my messages from on high.
Something about the feast of the spirit
or sharing the bounty or something.
And they go and decipher the meaning.
It's fun for them.
They interpret the metaphors literally.
Like they don't understand the difference
between allegory and reality.
Okay, okay!
I repent!
I fucked it all up!
I screwed everybody over!
I'm a fucking asshole!
But look!
I did the thing.
I did the church thing!
Look!
James, get with it.
You're in the circle.
It's your turn.
What profound enlightened sounding message
shall I bestow upon the flock today?
Please, please don't write that.
Please?
Ever been scuba diving, James?
Don't look!
I told you.
And so, this is madness?
Okay.
Welcome to my childhood.
I'm not sure I can do this.
Keep it together, girlfriend.
This is just what happens to unbelievers.
He wears you down until you give in.
Fuck.
Fuck me.
Maybe it's better to just drink the Kool-Aid.
Just wait it out.
Don't take the bait.
Something will happen.
Something real always finds its way through.
Hey, what did I tell you?
No.
No, it's not the mirror.
Over there.
Kill it!
It's not an it.
She looks real.
She is.
Who are you?
I'm, I'm Gabriella.
I wasn't talking to you.
Who are you?
I'm a circle alumnus.
A what?
I went to school here.
Back in the day.
You know how to get out of here?
Come with me.
Oh, thank god.
She can't come.
I know.
What the fu, of course I'm coming.
You can't go out this way.
Who is this little, bossy pants girl
to tell me I can't leave?
You can't.
Why the hell not?
You're not like us.
You're not leaving me here.
Fine.
Come then.
You'll just die.
Gabriella, it's not an option.
You won't survive.
You haven't been affected like we have.
Your subconscious mind would, would suffocate.
Are you crazy?
My unaffected subconscious is suffocating
from being in here!
Look, going through that door right now, for you,
would be like, uh, it would be like staring
into a black hole.
Except in two directions at once.
Exactly!
Here.
Take this.
Really?
A tranquilizer gun?
Okay, fine.
Take this too.
That's not a tranquilizer gun.
Come on.
Let's go.
Look, safety on.
Safety off.
Yeah, I know, I know.
Just get out of here and abandon me.
Don't worry, I got it.
Lots of important stuff to worry about.
I'm not abandoning you.
I'm sorting things out.
I'll catch you on the flip-side.
Remember.
Nothing.
Right?
Right.
Nothing.
What?
Nothing.
Exactly.
Come on.
Get up.
I can't breathe.
Yes you can.
It's just harder here.
You get used to it.
Where are we?
In-between.
In-between what?
That.
And that.
See?
Look.
Oh shit.
Okay, get down.
It's all right.
They can't see us.
The facade.
This is it.
What's a facade?
It's like a, it's like a fake representation.
Like a, like a false front
that's hiding something behind it.
Like a mask.
Like my mask?
Exactly except for like a whole place.
It's not really fake.
What do you mean?
It's like, fake-fake.
It's real to those people in the circle.
To those girls in that circle,
those fake people in that circle are real.
Well what about in this place,
this in-between place we're in now?
I need to show you.
This is the circle.
It's fake.
And then this is the fake circle.
So it's fake-fake.
Get it?
Sort of.
And then we're here, in-between.
How did you discover all of this?
I'm crafty.
Daddy even said so.
Well, he was right.
What's your name, crafty?
Sam.
Grady.
Where's your father, Sam?
Show me.
This is daddy.
They killed him.
But this seems fake.
So that's why it's fake-fake.
Get it?
What about your mother?
I don't have a mother.
It's okay to be upset.
You don't have to pretend.
I'm not pretending.
I am upset.
I just can't feel it.
I think that part of me went away.
Instead, I'm just angry.
Yeah.
I'm angry too.
I guess we'll just have to be angry together.
We can be the Angersons.
Okay.
Those ones aren't dead.
They're just hiding.
Is that your mom?
Huh?
Yes.
That's my mother.
Come on.
Let's not be with her.
You shouldn't look at him.
This is Percy Stevens isn't it?
Yeah.
The old him.
Do you know where the new him is?
You mean the not fake-fake him?
Yeah.
He's in the hidden cabin.
I think.
That's where daddy went.
Fake-fake daddy.
Right.
Can you take me there?
I don't want to go there.
Okay.
You don't have to.
But you could just show me where it is.
Will you show me?
Okay.
It's a weird way to go.
Let's do it.
You shouldn't go in there.
I don't want to.
But we can't always not do what we don't want.
Does that make any sense?
Yes.
Do you think you could sneak back
to the place where Gabriella is?
Yeah.
Without being spotted?
Yeah, I'm good at it now.
You find Gabriella.
Both of you run for the motor home and drive away.
Give her these.
Unless you can drive.
I don't like her.
I don't trust all these crazy girls.
Gabriella's not crazy like the other girls.
You can trust her.
You're right though.
The other one's are totally crazy.
Steer clear of them.
All right then?
All right then.
Be crafty, Sam.
Go.
Oh.
A surprise visitor.
Welcome to the circle.
I'm Percy...
Wait a minute.
Have we met before?
Ah, yes.
The little runaway.
All grown up.
I never forget a facade.
The place has changed, huh?
Not like the old days.
Remember how many people we had running around back then?
Now I have more mannequins than humans.
Can you believe it?
Fake attracts fake, I guess.
And you're the expert on what's fake and what's real,
Mr. tough exterior?
Tell me, what's less fake?
A mannequin wearing a facade or a human wearing a facade?
Isn't the one who is less fake therefore the more real?
Real?
Right.
What happened to the real Percy Stevens.
Ah.
The legendary Percy Stevens.
He graduated to a higher plain many years ago.
But the ruse still lives on here on Earth.
I am a self perpetuating cosmic prank.
What happened in the South China sea?
That's when I closed the circle and started my journey.
You wouldn't understand.
Try me.
I'd at least like to know the origin of my nightmare.
Tiger shark.
It snuck up on us.
Killed my buddy with a single bite to the neck.
But not me.
It didn't kill me.
It just pecked away at me.
Removing little chunks of my face.
Removing my facade.
One bite at a time.
Still gives me nightmares.
Ugly, ugly creature.
The tiger shark.
Especially up close.
Nose to nose.
It is so terrifyingly ugly, that it's beautiful.
I can't erase the image from my mind of those incredible,
insanely gnarly teeth snapping away at my face.
That's when I'd almost given up and released myself
to the demon shark and given up when it happened.
I saved myself.
Literally.
I came swimming toward me like an angel.
You cam swimming toward you?
Yes.
It was my life coming to usher me to my death.
Rising up from the depths, spear gun in hand,
I shot that tiger shark right through the gills.
And then I swam toward me.
And I looked deep into my eyes.
And even though my face had been entirely eaten away,
I was beautiful.
Luminous.
And I reached toward me, turned off the oxygen
and pulled me down.
All the way.
And the legend was born.
Making me the greatest entity the universe has ever known.
But enough about me.
This is a picture of you as a child.
No.
No, no.
Are you real?
No, no!
No, no, no, no!
Hi.
Hello.
Hello?
No!
God!
Well aren't you a clever little girl?
Ah!
What is death to you?
Nothing.
Correct.
It is nothing and it is everything.
Death is the shortest path to the farthest point.
And that's me.
The farthest point.
That's why they worship me.
They yearn to understand me.
To touch me, to reach me.
But they can't.
And they love that they can't.
Because if they could it would all be over.
I am that unattainable singularity
that lies reliably beyond their grasp.
I am the infinite.
I am everything.
Just think on that for a moment.
How big everything is.
Everything!
Every single thing.
Everything there is.
All of it!
I am that!
You are nothing.
True.
I am that as well.
I am everything and nothing.
Unlike you.
You're just nothing.
Do you remember the last time you saw me?
You touched the infinite that day.
And it terrified you.
Which leads me to wonder,
why on Earth would you come back here?
For answers?
Revenge?
To find yourself?
Maybe an apology.
Very well.
I apologize for stealing your childhood.
Come in.
Look!
It's your childhood.
It looks a little cross with you.
Hello?
Okay, can we kill him now?
No.
He has to swim.
She's right, Sky.
He's scuba diving.
Yeah, but we're just gonna kill him anyway.
Right?
That's what happens.
So why can't we just get to it instead
of going through all this prolonged bullshit all the time?
Sky!
This is not bullshit.
This is the meaning.
It's the meaning of the message.
Really?
This?
Oh, fuck.
Oh, we forgot the mirror.
It should be fine.
What should be fine?
Him not seeing himself die?
Suddenly that's fine?
Is it fine, Matthew?
People die without seeing themselves
in mirrors all the time.
Right?
All right, it's time.
Lotus, would you?
Of course.
Hey!
Rebecca!
What are you doing?
James.
James who, Rebecca?
You don't know any James'.
Remember?
Rebecca!
What the fuck?
So many deaths.
So many souls.
It's all cycling so fast.
Way, way, way, way, way too fast.
Greetings, stranger.
Welcome to the circle.
Rebecca.
Get away from these fucking monsters and come with me.
No, we're not fucking monsters.
Come.
Join us.
A spear fishing gun?
Really?
You know this is a real gun, right?
With bullets.
Down.
No, don't shoot the kid.
Jesus Christ, woman, I'll put the gun down.
Rebecca, get the gun.
What?
What is this?
Hey, hey.
No, no, no.
There can only be one at a time.
It's Percy.
Is it a mask?
Don't touch me.
Do not touch me.
I am untouchable.
You wait your turn!
It's another mask.
Do not touch me.
Grady!
No!
Run for it, Sam!
No!
Come on, get up!
Come on!
Sam, go!
Get out!
I can see you, Rebecca.
You.
You killed daddy.
Sam, don't!
Don't even think about it.
Oh, fucking crazy bitch.
