Happy Jack wasn't old But he was a man
He lived in the sand At the Isle of Man
The kids would all sing He would take the wrong key
So they rode on his head In their furry donkey
The kids couldn't hurt Jack They tried, tried, tried
They dropped things on his back They lied, lied, lied, lied, lied
Way to go, son!
No!
But they couldn't stop Jack Or the waters lapping
And they couldn't prevent Jack from feeling happy
But they couldn't stop Jack Or the waters lapping
Come on. Let's go.
And they couldn't prevent Jack from feeling happy
This is pointless.
He knows that he is a bad boy.
Why don't you listen?
What's wrong with you?
- You are stupid. You're an idiot. - Stupid, stupid, stupid.
Nobody cares about you.
Hey, you'd lose your head if it wasn't attached.
- Lose your damn head. - Stupid.
Nobody cares about you.
- Nobody cares about you. - You must take one pill twice a day.
All right? All right?
All right, David?
And they couldn't prevent Jack from feeling happy
- What are you doing? - Loser.
Happy birthday to you Happy birthday to you
Happy birthday, dear David Happy birthday to you
Ma'am?
- What? - There's some--
You-- You can't give me that.
Oh.
Oops.
So do they let you throw a little party here, or...?
Yeah, they clear out the furniture, we get a DJ.
- Really? - No. We do get better drugs, though.
- Really? - No.
It's just Thursday.
My 260th Thursday...
...as a passenger on the cruise ship Mental Health.
On the plus side, I have mastered the art of eating with a spoon, so....
You're getting better, though.
The voices.
You're not seeing things that aren't there.
When can I come home?
Oh, that's....
What does your doctor say?
I tell them I'm sane. They think I'm crazy.
If I say, "You know what? You're right. I am crazy."...
...then they up my dosage, so....
Oh.
How about I talk to them, hmm?
I'll tell them...
...you seem better to me.
How is it?
Sorry.
Time for your meds.
Something new needs to happen soon.
It's just spit, right?
Human spit.
Maybe he ate yogurt.
Like a creamy....
What's he on, you think? Klonopin?
Yeah. Klonopin will....
Or hold the phone. Yogurt and Klonopin.
That'll....
A cocktail.
Or hold the phone, who's that? Who's that?
Ooh. A dark-horse candidate.
Late entry to the race.
Ooh. Good hair.
Nice hindquarters.
- Watch it. - A little jittery...
...but I gotta say, folks, here at CNN, we like her chances.
Give me your Twizzlers.
Okay. Now, let's not--
That's just low, son.
Barrett, three pills.
- Oh, shit. - You're too close.
- Sorry. Sorry. - Too close.
- I'm sorry.
I'm sorry. I just-- You know, just wondered if you wanted a...
...Twizzler.
And how does that make you feel?
The drugs help. The Haldol.
Barrett? Three pills.
How does that make you feel?
Could you put the cup on the counter?
Why?
Oh, shit.
How do you feel?
The devil with yellow eyes.
Is he here now?
Whoa, whoa, whoa, I'm fine, I'm fine. I'm calm.
I just had a bad dream. And, guys, violence is not necessary.
Needles are not necessary.
David?
How does that make you feel?
I mean, it's just....
It's fine.
Like, whatever.
Because, I mean, look at me. I know what I am.
- And what's that? - Well, you know.
What happened. What I did...
...to Dr. Poole.
- You went off your medications. - But that's not....
That's....
You know, I....
I saw things.
Delusions, you mean. We talked about that.
Your brain chemistry...
- Hey, yeah. - ...your illness simulates voices.
All the hallucinations you described...
- ...the devil with yellow eyes. - Hmm.
You have something to add?
No.
Please keep talking.
So we can all pretend that our problems are just in our heads.
What does that mean?
It means that you're in here because somebody said you're not normal.
Like normal is this suit we're all supposed to....
But you know who else wasn't normal? Picasso.
- Einstein. - Ooh, I like her.
I like you.
You got what the kids these days call moxie.
You know, just so I'm clear, are you Einstein or Picasso in this scenario?
Whatever.
All I'm saying is...
...what if your problems aren't in your head?
What if they aren't even problems?
- Talk about that. - No, I'm good.
I read in your file that you don't like to be touched.
All animals need physical contact to feel love.
You know those cartoons in, like, magazines?
There's a man on an island with, like, maybe a single palm tree.
Hmm.
People say go to your happy place, and that's what I think about.
- Well, that's sad. - That's sad?
You're in a mental hospital.
All I'm saying is...
...that thing they tell us is crazy.
How I don't wanna be handled.
Or you see stuff and hear whatever voices.
That's what makes you you.
Do you wanna be my girlfriend?
Okay.
But don't touch me.
Okay.
Yeah?
Yeah.
Okay.
Find me at dinner.
Why are the hot ones always so crazy?
She comes in colors everywhere
She combs her hair She's like a rainbow
Coming, colors in the air
Oh, everywhere She comes in colors
- No cherries. - I live on cherry pie. It's incredible.
I don't like orange-flavored things, and I don't like cherry-flavored things.
This has pretty much everything you need. It has, like, crust and cherries.
She comes in colors everywhere
She combs her hair
She's like a rainbow
Coming, colors in the air
Oh, everywhere She comes in colors
I see you.
This is your spot, huh?
After the sun goes down...
...when the light is right...
...if you...
...kind of un-focus your eyes...
...like this. See?
- That's charming. - Shut up.
Now you.
And then look back out.
You see how the hospital disappears?
You can see yourself down there.
Like...
...you're in here...
...watching yourself outside.
What are you doing?
Keep calm. I'm not gonna touch you.
Just hold still and look out the window.
David.
How long were you together? You and the girl who disappeared?
She didn't disappear.
I told you, they took her.
Sydney Barrett, the girl?
Yes. Look, uh, talk to the hospital. They've got records.
The hospital where you were a patient the past six years...
...after being diagnosed with paranoid schizophrenia?
Yes, but my condition has nothing to do with that.
I didn't make her up. She's a real girl. A woman.
- Call the hospital. They've got records. - We've spoken to the hospital.
They have no record of Sydney Barrett ever being a patient there.
Look, is it possible, Mr. Haller--? And I'm not a psychiatrist, so....
But is it possible that this whole thing, the girl, the incident...
...that it's just part of your illness?
- A delusion? - Uh, yes.
Sure, uh, fine.
Um....
Well, how do you explain what happened to Lenny?
Well, all of them.
Well, I can't. That's why we're having this.
Talk to Dr. Kissinger. He knows.
And Dr. Kissinger was your psychiatrist?
Yes.
Ahem, somehow, I have a hard time believing your psychiatrist...
...is gonna confirm the story that you're telling me now.
Well, David, I think, don't you, that we should talk about it?
Hmm? No.
It's important you-- If you wanna go home-- You see, my job--
Part of my job...
...is to assess.
Are you still a danger to yourself? To others?
And the fact that you tried to hang yourself.
- We can skip that part. - Hmm?
Unless you think it's relevant too.
No. We don't have to.
Interesting. Okay.
Let's talk about it.
Uh, well, I, uh, had a hard time after college...
...after I got expelled.
I wasn't thinking straight.
The voices and, uh, not sleeping.
And I was angry all the....
- And then Philly left. - David, you okay?
And I decided, you know...
...what was the point?
When a blade breaks, you don't fix it. You just get another blade.
So I tied a knot.
- David, stop. Stop. - Don't touch it.
- Don't. - Stupid, stupid.
Did the voices tell you to do that?
No. No.
No, they tried to stop me.
They didn't like it.
And yet the police say they found no noose in the apartment.
Just rope burns on your neck.
How do you feel now?
Uh....
Better.
Well, let me ask you this.
Do you still feel that, quote:
"You have power over things and can control things with your mind"?
Hold on.
You think you can control things with your mind?
I did at one point.
But they help with that, the drugs.
- Is that why I'm here? Is that what this is? - David.
You think I did this? That I killed her with my mind?
No. Don't be ridiculous, but....
The girl is dead, David. She is.
And it wasn't a heart attack, right?
So we're just...
...uh, looking for the truth...
...which you promised to tell.
Look.
I don't know, okay?
It's-- It's fuzzy. It's....
That's okay.
Just tell me what happened next.
Boo.
Jeez.
- What are you doing? - Shh.
- Can you be in here? - Don't be a pussy.
Lie back.
No, I'll be on top.
All right.
Yeah.
I'm getting out tomorrow.
What?
Kissinger says I'm clean.
So I get to go home.
Good. That's good.
You've got to get better.
Okay?
So you can come home too.
And why couldn't you touch her?
Well, she was--
You know, it's a mental hospital. People have issues.
I mean, that's what I thought then.
- Now-- - Uh, how long were you together...
- ...before the incident? - Can we take a break?
Please, I-- Just--
Without the meds, it's really hard to keep things....
Of course. And there's, uh, food coming.
I promise. But let's take a break.
We'll pick this up again in 30 minutes.
Cue the phone.
Floor to Bravo Tango, inside the building. Building is secure.
Very, very good. It's a real surprise.
How does it look?
He's twitchy.
- You said he was off his meds? - For a week now.
They think that may be why the spike in telepathic activity.
So is he crazy, or...?
Well, I think he's telling the truth as he knows it.
- Meaning? - Well, he believes he's mentally ill.
But at the same time, part of him knows that the power is real.
And are we clear on the scope and nature of this power?
No, but if the readings are right, he may be the most powerful mutant...
- ...that we have ever encountered. - Hmm.
After what happened in Red Hook, I'd say that's an understatement.
So he has the power...
...but he doesn't understand it or know how to control it?
I'd like to dig deeper, see if we can figure out what triggers him.
Division One thinks we should kill him.
Now, before he realizes what he is.
- We may never get the chance again. - That would be a mistake.
We've never had a subject like this before. I mean....
Look.
Just give me until the end of the day...
...and you have the gas if you need it.
Okay.
But if he so much as farts too loud, we're moving to level two.
Could I be alone?
Shut down again? Is that what you'll do?
- Leave me alone! - Look at me.
I don't wanna talk about it, okay?
God!
What are you doing?
- Did we eat? - What?
- Right over there. - Yes, sir.
Wait, wait, wait. What's that for?
It's just a few tests. They're readings, really.
We wanna see what happens in your brain when you feel things.
What things? Stop. Look.
I want a lawyer, okay?
I was willing to cooperate before, but now I'm tired. I'm just so--
David.
I need you to stay calm.
You're afraid of me.
David, please.
I'm afraid for you.
You're a very sick young man who stopped taking his medication.
Are you a danger to yourself or to others? I think that's what we're here to ascertain.
Okay?
Good.
Now, let's talk about the incident...
...at Clockworks.
You can send him a note.
It's probably better anyway.
Alvarez, four pills.
Don't forget, you've got an appointment with Dr. Schubert on Thursday.
- Hey, where is he? - Who, the kid?
He's, uh, climbing a mountain.
He's got his clamp on wrong.
Hey, would you--? Hold on.
It's lady stuff.
They've got this candy bar.
It's new, I saw it on TV.
With nougat and chocolate and, like, this crispy wafer.
If you could buy one and, like, mail it to me, that would be great.
I was looking for you.
David.
No.
Twinkle, twinkle, little star
- Come on, David. Go. - That's great, David. Keep pedaling.
- You went off your medication. - You were nervous.
- Wanna be my girlfriend? - Calm down.
- Why are the hot ones always so crazy? - David, calm down.
Syd. Shit. Syd.
Are you okay?
No!
Hey, be cool, man.
Come on.
No. No, no, no, don't!
- No, no, no! - Get him out of here!
- David, calm down. - Stop!
- Don't! Stop! Stop! - Stay back. Let us take care of it.
- Back off, David, now. - Stop! Stop! No, no!
No, don't! Stop, stop!
No! No! No!
No! Don't! Stop!
Stop! Stop!
- Stop! No! - Stay out of the way.
No!
Attention, all floors. All stations.
We are on mandatory lockdown.
Are you okay?
Did you hit your head?
- No, I'm just a little dizzy. - I'm so sorry.
- Hey, be cool. - No! Please.
Come on. Ease up, brother. He's in the yellow.
- Don't. Stop. - Don't harass the guy. Come on, man.
Everybody, nothing to see here. Everybody take a dose, man.
You've gotta cool your body. Just....
What? What is it? What's happening?
- No. It feels-- - Now, keep still.
- I think you may-- - Wrong.
- Uh, stay here. - Wait.
Uh, stop. Would you say that again?
I said I looked in the mirror, and I was her.
Who?
- Sydney. - She was there with you?
No. She would....
Somehow, we--
She took my place and I took hers when we kissed, I guess.
But it wasn't me. I didn't-- It was her.
Her power, I think. I mean, I guess that's why she didn't wanna--
Look, I know. Okay. But you asked.
Look, forget it. I don't need this.
Look. I have been more than....
But now, I really wanna get out of here.
Calm.
Be calm.
Nobody is....
I just wanna make sure I've got it right.
You were her.
She was you.
Continue.
Attention on all floors, all stations. We are on mandatory lockdown.
Lockdown protocols are now in effect.
Help!
Let me out of here!
Oh, my God!
Where are the doors?
David!
Let me out now!
Help me!
Get us out!
David! David!
Get us out!
David! David!
Wait. You said, her power.
Are you saying the girl has some kind of--?
What, uh...?
Extrasensory powers?
Look, I don't know. But that's the only-- Because it wasn't me.
At least I didn't think-- It didn't feel like before, the other times.
- Not that I.... - I know. But, David, Lenny is dead.
Somehow, she ended up inside of a solid wall...
...so I'm just trying, um--
You're saying, the girl--
That you kissed the girl, and she switched places with you?
- I'm doing you a favor. - You don't understand. She's still in there.
The questions you're gonna get asked, you may lose your shot at a discharge.
Now, you be careful out there.
Please, wait. I'm not Sydney.
Don't forget to fill your prescription.
- Wait. - Wait. What?
- You were there. - I was there?
Yes. You were the man in the car at the hospital.
So I'm clear, after you entered the body of a woman...
...and escaped from a mental hospital where all the patients...
...had been sealed inside of their rooms, you think you saw me getting out of a car?
You don't have to be a dick about it. It was you.
Hey, no. You're wrong.
In fact, that is one of the things that we-- That I need to know.
Who were the people at the hospital that day?
No. No, no, no. You're lying.
- You're trying to confuse me, and-- No. - David. David.
No.
David.
Just take a deep breath.
Try to be calm.
Just try to relax, David.
The gas, now.
Use the gas.
Here we go
Now
David.
My boy.
My beautiful boy.
Mommy loves you.
She does.
My boy.
David.
David, where are you?
Trick or treat.
So exciting.
Careful.
What are you supposed to be?
- Trick or treat. - Trick or treat.
Hi.
They sent me home. And then I realized--
I mean, the apartment's gone.
So....
Just for a few days?
Of course.
Uh, I'll talk to Ben.
Come in. Come in.
Avast, I've got Snapjacks and red Krusteaz.
Har! Har....
- Holy shit. - Ben.
You remember my brother, David?
- Yeah. - Do you guys have any waffles?
- Yup. - Yeah.
Wow.
You weren't kidding.
Uh....
Another one?
Here you go.
- Heh. - Is this...?
Will this be okay?
Yeah. I mean, this is....
This is great.
Uh, so, you know, Ben works early.
And I'll probably be gone when you wake up.
So, um, you know, make yourself at home.
Don't answer the phone.
Okay.
It's good.
It's gonna be good.
Okay?
Yeah.
So, what did it feel like, huh?
Titties.
Having titties. Did you...?
If that were me, all day I'd....
Stop looking at me like that, man.
I know.
I'm dead.
You killed me.
And I gotta say, not cool, man.
I didn't.
Yeah, you did.
Don't blame her. Don't blame her.
She was just a--
What do you--?
--passenger riding around in your body.
Don't give a newbie a bazooka and act surprised when she blows shit up.
Lenny.
- I'm sorry, man. - No. It's cool.
It's cool.
What, was I gonna spend the rest of my life...
...popping pills from a little cup?
Don't worry about me.
It's you that's got problems.
They're coming for you, babe.
Who?
They know about the hospital.
- What you did. - I didn't.
What she did when she was you.
Had your powers.
They're coming, and they're gonna kill you.
- No, no, no. - Ha-ha-ha. Yeah.
No. No.
- No. No. - They are.
This is just my-- No, this is not real. It's--
I told them. Don't cut my meds. I'm just--
Ah, no.
- David? - Mm-hmm?
Yeah.
- Are you okay? - Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Sorry. I, uh, just, uh, broke the lamp.
- Um.... - Oh.
Sorry.
No. It's, um--
It's okay.
It's just-- You know, Ben.
He's gotta get to the garden tomorrow morning, you know?
Sure. Okay.
Get some rest. Night.
Good night.
David.
They're coming and--
And then they're gonna kill you.
David.
Wake up.
David.
Over here.
Let's stop pretending, huh?
Those are power cables. You're submerged in water.
If you try anything, you're gonna get 100,000 volts before you take a breath.
What is so funny?
I'm insane, you idiot.
This is my delusion.
It's not real.
Stop screwing around. Where's the girl?
What girl?
Don't be clever, David. We know who you are.
We know they came for her at the hospital thinking she was you.
No. You took her at the hospital.
- You were there. - No, David.
It's clear now what happened.
They came for you but got her by accident, and we've got you, but we want her too.
So just tell me, or....
She was gone.
I went looking for her.
She was gone.
Yeah. I'm, uh, looking for a patient.
Sydney Barrett.
No, I'm her father.
Max.
Hold on, what?
Well, how--?
How can you have no record of her? She was--
Syd Barrett. She-- I--
Well, how--? I visited her.
Don't stop.
I said, don't stop.
Wait. How did you--?
I've been looking, and no one would tell me-- Syd.
I don't understand. I was you.
Did that really--? We kiss-- And I know I'm crazy, but that felt really--
David, hush.
- I'm not really here. - What do you mean?
- Where else would you be? - This is your memory...
...of the day you called the hospital, not the actual day.
I'm inside your memory.
Heh, but that's not--
- I've been projected into your memory. - I've been looking. No one would tell me.
Syd, I don't understand. I was you--
David, stop. I'm not really here.
What do you mean? Where else would you be?
This is your memory of the day you called the hospital.
I've been projected into your memory.
We're not on the street, not really. We're in your mind.
- They can't track us in here. - Who? How is that--?
We don't have much time. You're in a government facility.
I know. They said they were cops.
They're not cops.
I'll tell you everything soon. But that's not what we're gonna do now.
You're in a government facility.
- What are we--? - You'll go for a swim. And I'll get you out.
- A swim? - Slowly, so they don't notice...
...slide out of your chair and into the water.
And when you see the lights, don't come up until you see me.
David?
There was a van.
Yes. That was us.
Who were the other two people? The people who chased you?
The ones who came to the hospital?
David, are you with me?
Yes.
I'm here.
It wasn't you...
...at the hospital.
Yeah. I told you.
It wasn't you.
Slide out of your chair and into the water, slowly.
Watch him.
He's making me nervous.
Hey, David.
I really need you to stay calm.
And please, do not make me press this button.
Who are you people?
No. I ask the questions.
The girl.
Where is the girl?
I think you're about to find out.
Do it now!
Hi.
David, don't.
- I'm sorry. You can't touch my skin. - Yes.
This is Ptonomy.
- And that's Kerry. - Hey.
Oh, hey.
Hi.
- Sorry about before. - It's cool.
- We like chasing after people. - No. We like catching people.
- Syd. - We gotta go.
Melanie's waiting.
Who?
Come on! Let's go, go, go!
- Move, move, move! - Fall back! Fall back!
Keep moving!
Move! Go, go, go!
Go, this way.
Go.
Come on.
- Syd, this is-- Wait. - We can't stop. They're coming.
I need you to stop. Please, Sydney.
I have to know.
Is--?
Is this--?
Is this real? I mean, what if we're back at the hospital?
What if none of this ever happened, and we're--?
Please, I have to know.
Are you real?
I'm real.
This is real.
Okay?
I'm here.
I came back for you. I love you.
Okay?
Okay.
- You gonna say it too? - I love you.
We gotta go.
Ms. Bird.
This is David.
Come on, son.
Take my hand.
