1
00:00:14,751 --> 00:00:16,334
Come on. Come on.
2
00:00:18,626 --> 00:00:20,834
Come on. Come back.
3
00:00:22,501 --> 00:00:24,418
Come on, Anya. Come on.
4
00:00:37,209 --> 00:00:38,209
Hey.
5
00:00:38,293 --> 00:00:39,168
Jesus, Anya.
6
00:00:39,251 --> 00:00:41,668
Hey, hey, hey. Are you okay?
7
00:00:42,584 --> 00:00:43,751
Are you okay?
8
00:00:45,876 --> 00:00:46,709
What's wrong?
9
00:00:49,001 --> 00:00:52,334
Do you see it? It's right there!
10
00:00:52,418 --> 00:00:53,251
It's right there!
11
00:00:59,459 --> 00:01:00,876
It was an overdose.
12
00:01:01,459 --> 00:01:03,334
She was apparently palming her pills.
13
00:01:04,001 --> 00:01:05,168
Self-medicating.
14
00:01:07,043 --> 00:01:08,209
You didn't know this?
15
00:01:08,959 --> 00:01:11,584
Mark said when he got there…
16
00:01:13,543 --> 00:01:17,459
I thought I heard him ask somebody
about a do not resuscitate order.
17
00:01:18,668 --> 00:01:20,126
Did Anya have a DNR?
18
00:01:20,709 --> 00:01:23,543
-She didn't tell you about that.
-Why didn't you tell me that?
19
00:01:24,793 --> 00:01:27,918
I'm her roommate.
If anyone needs to know, it's…
20
00:01:30,334 --> 00:01:32,209
If I would have known, I wouldn't…
21
00:01:32,876 --> 00:01:35,334
-I don't know. I would have…
-Done the same thing, I hope.
22
00:01:37,751 --> 00:01:41,168
A DNR doesn't mean do not treat.
23
00:01:42,626 --> 00:01:46,626
I always say that Brightcliffe
is about agency and it is.
24
00:01:47,334 --> 00:01:50,459
But, Ilonka, we won't stand by
25
00:01:50,543 --> 00:01:53,334
and watch someone overdose
on their own meds.
26
00:01:53,918 --> 00:01:56,043
I'm so glad you didn't either.
27
00:01:56,126 --> 00:01:57,584
You did the right thing.
28
00:02:04,251 --> 00:02:05,293
I'm sorry.
29
00:02:06,918 --> 00:02:07,959
I didn't know.
30
00:02:08,834 --> 00:02:11,626
I didn't know and I shouldn't have…
31
00:02:12,834 --> 00:02:14,209
I shouldn't have interfered.
32
00:02:14,293 --> 00:02:15,751
I'm sorry, Anya.
33
00:02:17,876 --> 00:02:19,084
It's okay.
34
00:02:19,918 --> 00:02:21,001
How are you?
35
00:02:23,251 --> 00:02:24,376
Are you okay?
36
00:02:26,126 --> 00:02:28,543
You know, I don't know
if you remember, but…
37
00:02:30,126 --> 00:02:33,501
you were really hysterical
when you came to…
38
00:02:34,543 --> 00:02:37,168
You asked me if I could see something.
39
00:02:38,293 --> 00:02:40,001
What did you see, Anya?
40
00:02:44,293 --> 00:02:45,376
I was high.
41
00:02:46,584 --> 00:02:48,626
-I didn't see anything.
-You did, though.
42
00:02:49,626 --> 00:02:53,209
You… You talked about something
Rachel said toward the end.
43
00:02:54,001 --> 00:02:57,251
-Something about a shadow.
-No… shadow.
44
00:02:58,209 --> 00:02:59,334
It's bullshit.
45
00:03:00,126 --> 00:03:01,251
You understand?
46
00:03:02,584 --> 00:03:03,668
I didn't see it.
47
00:03:05,334 --> 00:03:06,293
I was high.
48
00:03:16,293 --> 00:03:17,376
Ilonka.
49
00:03:22,251 --> 00:03:24,209
How are you doing? You okay?
50
00:03:27,168 --> 00:03:28,418
I don't know.
51
00:03:29,293 --> 00:03:31,459
I can imagine how you must feel right now.
52
00:03:33,084 --> 00:03:36,459
But you… you got to be kind to yourself.
53
00:03:37,709 --> 00:03:39,251
Yeah, it's easier said than done.
54
00:03:40,876 --> 00:03:42,126
Come here for a sec.
55
00:03:44,126 --> 00:03:46,126
Just a sec. It's cool. Come on.
56
00:03:59,001 --> 00:04:00,168
What was that?
57
00:04:00,751 --> 00:04:01,709
Nothing.
58
00:04:15,126 --> 00:04:19,293
The Paragon Diary belonged
to a girl who called herself Athena.
59
00:04:20,501 --> 00:04:22,876
She was 16 when she escaped.
60
00:04:22,959 --> 00:04:24,584
And this is her story.
61
00:04:26,334 --> 00:04:29,709
Cults were a big thing in America
in the '20s and '30s,
62
00:04:29,793 --> 00:04:31,793
and huge in the '40s.
63
00:04:31,876 --> 00:04:33,501
The Psychiana Movement,
64
00:04:33,584 --> 00:04:37,001
the Silver Legion and the I AM Sect
got the headlines,
65
00:04:37,584 --> 00:04:40,709
but the Paragon was the most tragic
of them all.
66
00:04:41,584 --> 00:04:44,709
It was started in 1931 by Regina Ballard,
67
00:04:44,793 --> 00:04:46,584
who would later call herself Aceso,
68
00:04:46,668 --> 00:04:48,459
after the Greek goddess of healing,
69
00:04:48,543 --> 00:04:51,168
which makes a sad kind of sense.
70
00:04:51,251 --> 00:04:54,251
Her husband died of pneumonia
and her son died of polio,
71
00:04:54,334 --> 00:04:57,459
so she started the group
as a new age health philosophy,
72
00:04:57,543 --> 00:05:01,043
just a naturopathic alternative
to the medical establishment.
73
00:05:01,126 --> 00:05:03,209
But it changed into something else.
74
00:05:03,293 --> 00:05:06,543
Aceso was obsessed
with the ancient Greek goddesses,
75
00:05:06,626 --> 00:05:09,084
in particular the Five Sisters.
76
00:05:09,876 --> 00:05:12,834
Panacea, the goddess of universal health.
77
00:05:12,918 --> 00:05:15,668
Hygeia, goddess of cleanliness.
78
00:05:15,751 --> 00:05:18,626
Iaso, goddess of recuperation.
79
00:05:18,709 --> 00:05:21,168
Aglaea, goddess of beauty.
80
00:05:21,251 --> 00:05:26,043
And Aceso, her namesake,
goddess of the healing process.
81
00:05:26,584 --> 00:05:28,084
With the right worship,
82
00:05:28,168 --> 00:05:32,626
Aceso thought she could accomplish more
than healthy living and healing sickness.
83
00:05:32,709 --> 00:05:35,084
She picked a symbol that represented time,
84
00:05:35,584 --> 00:05:37,126
the hourglass,
85
00:05:37,209 --> 00:05:41,459
which could be turned over again,
and again, and again.
86
00:05:42,168 --> 00:05:45,959
Aceso chose which members
would represent the five sisters.
87
00:05:46,043 --> 00:05:48,084
Outside of herself, of course.
88
00:05:48,168 --> 00:05:52,709
So they dug deeper into the god
and goddess worship of the ancient world.
89
00:05:53,293 --> 00:05:55,293
Prayer wasn't enough anymore.
90
00:05:55,376 --> 00:05:56,918
Offerings weren't enough.
91
00:05:57,501 --> 00:06:01,543
She finally crossed the line
into true ancient ritual,
92
00:06:01,626 --> 00:06:03,001
blood sacrifice.
93
00:06:05,876 --> 00:06:07,876
Athena was freaked by what she saw.
94
00:06:08,459 --> 00:06:12,376
She wasn't just any member.
Aceso was her mom.
95
00:06:12,959 --> 00:06:15,126
She had watched her dad
and her brother die,
96
00:06:15,209 --> 00:06:17,376
and now she's watching her mom
lose her mind.
97
00:06:17,959 --> 00:06:21,376
Athena begged her to stop
to see how crazy she was getting.
98
00:06:22,168 --> 00:06:24,043
She knew she had to stop her mom.
99
00:06:24,126 --> 00:06:27,876
So Athena gathered the other children
and snuck out in the middle of the night.
100
00:06:27,959 --> 00:06:30,834
She led them almost a mile
to the nearest neighbor,
101
00:06:30,918 --> 00:06:32,251
and called the police.
102
00:06:33,293 --> 00:06:37,126
The police went back
but couldn't find anyone, anywhere.
103
00:06:37,709 --> 00:06:41,501
Until they finally listened to Athena
and checked the basement.
104
00:06:41,584 --> 00:06:44,876
The basement that had a secret button
in the elevator.
105
00:06:48,959 --> 00:06:50,709
All of the adults were dead.
106
00:06:51,293 --> 00:06:53,709
Poisoned. All except one.
107
00:06:58,959 --> 00:07:01,501
Aceso swore it was an accident.
108
00:07:01,584 --> 00:07:05,459
Said she'd gathered the wrong plants
for the tea they drank in their rituals.
109
00:07:06,501 --> 00:07:07,918
But that was just a story.
110
00:07:08,584 --> 00:07:11,709
Because Athena says her mom knew exactly
what she was doing.
111
00:07:13,418 --> 00:07:15,793
Her mom told her something big was coming.
112
00:07:15,876 --> 00:07:18,501
A blood sacrifice
the goddesses wouldn't ignore.
113
00:07:19,334 --> 00:07:23,668
The blood sacrifice
that would give her a long, long life.
114
00:07:24,293 --> 00:07:25,501
Five goddesses?
115
00:07:25,584 --> 00:07:27,209
The five sisters.
116
00:07:28,418 --> 00:07:29,584
They're Greek?
117
00:07:29,668 --> 00:07:33,834
Well, these names are.
Panacea, Iaso, Aceso.
118
00:07:33,918 --> 00:07:36,043
But see, in Rome, they were different.
119
00:07:36,126 --> 00:07:40,751
They were Carna, Feronia,
Valetudo, Cardea, Fabrice.
120
00:07:41,376 --> 00:07:44,334
In Egypt, they were Sekhmet, Isis, Serqet.
121
00:07:44,834 --> 00:07:46,543
Same things, different names.
122
00:07:47,334 --> 00:07:49,126
It's fucked up is what it is.
123
00:07:50,293 --> 00:07:53,918
Poisoning people
because of some bullshit old stories?
124
00:07:54,709 --> 00:07:57,209
Well, she really thought
it could make her live longer.
125
00:07:57,293 --> 00:07:58,501
Did it work?
126
00:07:58,584 --> 00:08:02,334
Aceso dropped off the radar after
and went to her real name,
127
00:08:02,418 --> 00:08:04,834
so I don't know how long she lived.
128
00:08:05,418 --> 00:08:06,668
What about her daughter, Athena?
129
00:08:07,334 --> 00:08:08,876
Well, that wasn't her real name either.
130
00:08:08,959 --> 00:08:12,084
And she definitely got out of here
as fast as she could.
131
00:08:13,334 --> 00:08:14,626
But left the journal?
132
00:08:14,709 --> 00:08:18,584
And Julia Jayne found it,
and read it, and hid it in the library
133
00:08:19,084 --> 00:08:21,959
and left those numbers
for someone else to find it.
134
00:08:22,043 --> 00:08:23,001
Why, though?
135
00:08:23,543 --> 00:08:26,668
Well, we know that Brightcliffe
was empty after the Paragon.
136
00:08:27,209 --> 00:08:29,584
Empty still Stanton bought it in '66.
137
00:08:30,084 --> 00:08:32,334
And she cleaned a lot of it out
but missed some stuff.
138
00:08:32,876 --> 00:08:34,126
The journal, the basement.
139
00:08:34,209 --> 00:08:37,126
And along comes Julia Jayne
and she finds both of them.
140
00:08:37,918 --> 00:08:39,793
She reads Athena's diary,
which talks a lot
141
00:08:39,876 --> 00:08:41,376
about what they actually did.
142
00:08:41,459 --> 00:08:43,293
In pretty specific detail.
143
00:08:43,376 --> 00:08:45,584
She starts the Midnight Club
in the basement
144
00:08:46,376 --> 00:08:47,876
and walks out of here, cured.
145
00:08:47,959 --> 00:08:48,959
I don't know.
146
00:08:49,668 --> 00:08:55,084
I mean, I've tried some crazy stuff.
Like really crazy stuff.
147
00:08:56,501 --> 00:08:58,084
Honestly, I tried just about anything
148
00:08:58,168 --> 00:09:00,793
because I don't want to die
any more than the rest of us do but--
149
00:09:00,876 --> 00:09:02,084
It isn't about believing.
150
00:09:03,043 --> 00:09:06,626
I know that the Paragon was here
in Brightcliffe.
151
00:09:06,709 --> 00:09:09,501
And they slept in our beds.
They sat at our tables.
152
00:09:09,584 --> 00:09:10,959
They walked in our halls.
153
00:09:12,168 --> 00:09:14,334
And thanks to Athena,
I know what they believed.
154
00:09:15,334 --> 00:09:17,376
I know that Julia found that journal.
155
00:09:18,751 --> 00:09:20,876
I know the Midnight Club met
in the same place
156
00:09:20,959 --> 00:09:22,626
that the Paragon did the rituals.
157
00:09:23,751 --> 00:09:25,918
And I know Julia walked out of here,
cured.
158
00:09:30,626 --> 00:09:31,834
So, what do you wanna do?
159
00:09:33,001 --> 00:09:36,043
Go gather some poisonous berries,
throw in a couple of togas?
160
00:09:38,043 --> 00:09:39,251
Togas aren't Greek.
161
00:09:44,543 --> 00:09:45,751
Thank you.
162
00:09:52,043 --> 00:09:54,043
Hello, gorgeous.
163
00:09:54,709 --> 00:09:56,084
What did you get?
164
00:09:56,168 --> 00:10:00,334
My mom, she's shooting a movie right now,
and she's working with Molly Blake.
165
00:10:00,418 --> 00:10:01,293
You know who that is?
166
00:10:02,001 --> 00:10:04,001
Is that an actress?
167
00:10:04,084 --> 00:10:06,709
Nope. She's a wig maker.
168
00:10:07,334 --> 00:10:09,334
And not just a wig maker. She's…
169
00:10:10,959 --> 00:10:12,876
the wig maker.
170
00:10:12,959 --> 00:10:16,418
She's made wigs that cost
more than a hundred thousand dollars.
171
00:10:16,501 --> 00:10:19,043
And she just worships my mom.
172
00:10:19,126 --> 00:10:23,293
She's worn her stuff for like, four movies
and, like, 400 red carpets.
173
00:10:23,376 --> 00:10:28,126
So I send her the sizes, and she resizes
one of her showroom pieces…
174
00:10:29,543 --> 00:10:31,209
and voila.
175
00:10:31,293 --> 00:10:33,418
-Wow, that's…
-I know.
176
00:10:33,501 --> 00:10:36,543
And she did this one based on
pictures of me before chemo.
177
00:10:37,126 --> 00:10:40,209
And this new one, it's even better,
I think.
178
00:10:40,293 --> 00:10:43,959
-Uh, that's really great.
-And I think, honestly,
179
00:10:44,043 --> 00:10:46,543
you and me might be the only two people
in the world
180
00:10:46,626 --> 00:10:49,459
who got an original Molly Blake
without having to fly to Italy.
181
00:10:49,543 --> 00:10:51,084
Wait. What?
182
00:10:53,043 --> 00:10:54,584
Oh, yeah. This is for you.
183
00:10:55,584 --> 00:10:57,251
That's why I measured your head last week.
184
00:10:58,168 --> 00:11:00,293
And that's why I broke into your room
while you were sleeping
185
00:11:00,376 --> 00:11:01,876
and stole those pictures of you.
186
00:11:03,126 --> 00:11:04,876
-Wait, you what?
-Try it on.
187
00:11:07,709 --> 00:11:10,459
-Put your fingers up.
-Like this?
188
00:11:10,543 --> 00:11:11,501
There you go.
189
00:11:11,584 --> 00:11:13,459
Okay. You can let go.
190
00:11:15,751 --> 00:11:18,084
See that face? Beautiful face.
191
00:11:20,043 --> 00:11:21,209
Oh, yeah.
192
00:11:21,918 --> 00:11:23,001
There it is.
193
00:11:30,418 --> 00:11:31,543
I… I don't…
194
00:11:32,751 --> 00:11:35,084
-I mean, I don't know how to thank you.
-You're welcome.
195
00:11:39,626 --> 00:11:40,584
Why?
196
00:11:42,501 --> 00:11:43,751
Because you mentioned it.
197
00:12:02,043 --> 00:12:03,418
You look great.
198
00:12:04,126 --> 00:12:08,668
We are gathered here today
to celebrate Amesh's death day.
199
00:12:08,751 --> 00:12:10,709
-Yes!
200
00:12:11,959 --> 00:12:14,459
A day he was not supposed to reach.
201
00:12:15,459 --> 00:12:18,459
A year ago, a bunch of doctors told him
he had a year to live.
202
00:12:18,543 --> 00:12:22,709
A year ago, today, and here we are.
203
00:12:23,418 --> 00:12:25,751
Here he is. Stubborn motherfucker.
204
00:12:25,834 --> 00:12:28,418
Don't adlib. Don't…
Just read what's there.
205
00:12:31,209 --> 00:12:32,751
Sorry. I'm late.
206
00:12:34,168 --> 00:12:36,001
No, that's okay. We just got started.
207
00:12:39,876 --> 00:12:43,043
Amesh's brain
has been eating itself for a long time.
208
00:12:43,126 --> 00:12:45,876
That glioblastoma is an asshole.
209
00:12:45,959 --> 00:12:48,584
Uh, you're just speaking from the heart
spontaneously, aren't you?
210
00:12:48,668 --> 00:12:53,626
An asshole that took this beautiful,
brilliant, handsome man
211
00:12:54,126 --> 00:12:55,793
and gave him all the seizures?
212
00:12:55,876 --> 00:12:58,793
If he drinks alcohol,
he could have a seizure.
213
00:12:58,876 --> 00:13:00,959
If he takes an aspirin,
he could have a seizure.
214
00:13:01,043 --> 00:13:02,918
To be blunt,
if this man breathes too hard,
215
00:13:03,001 --> 00:13:04,209
he could have a seizure.
216
00:13:04,293 --> 00:13:06,418
-His shit just don't work.
217
00:13:07,126 --> 00:13:08,126
And yet…
218
00:13:09,334 --> 00:13:10,459
He thrives.
219
00:13:16,376 --> 00:13:20,334
-And now, your funeral suit, please.
-Oh, yes.
220
00:13:21,626 --> 00:13:24,501
-Oh, come on.
-Whoo!
221
00:13:28,668 --> 00:13:30,209
-Yes!
-Oh, wow.
222
00:13:32,126 --> 00:13:35,376
Look at those socks.
It's all coming off.
223
00:13:35,459 --> 00:13:36,334
Nice.
224
00:13:37,251 --> 00:13:39,001
-Oh…
225
00:13:39,084 --> 00:13:40,084
So…
226
00:13:54,793 --> 00:13:56,584
I was gonna be buried in this suit today.
227
00:13:58,293 --> 00:13:59,584
Um…
228
00:13:59,668 --> 00:14:01,501
It's the one my parents picked, and…
229
00:14:02,834 --> 00:14:05,001
I'm told it's a nice one, but…
230
00:14:06,168 --> 00:14:08,084
I can tell, it's not me.
231
00:14:09,584 --> 00:14:10,793
Spencer.
232
00:14:16,418 --> 00:14:21,543
Oh, yes, this is the shirt
that I would actually like to be sent off.
233
00:14:23,251 --> 00:14:24,084
So…
234
00:14:30,209 --> 00:14:31,251
See you later.
235
00:14:56,543 --> 00:14:58,043
Thanks for being you, Amesh.
236
00:14:58,834 --> 00:14:59,876
Hear, hear.
237
00:15:00,584 --> 00:15:01,918
Glad you're with us, my man.
238
00:15:05,793 --> 00:15:07,376
Well, that's done.
239
00:15:08,793 --> 00:15:09,918
Shall we party?
240
00:15:12,626 --> 00:15:16,043
These are really special… brownies.
241
00:15:16,584 --> 00:15:19,501
Getting high was on your BID list.
242
00:15:19,584 --> 00:15:21,751
Uh, we had to make it happen.
243
00:15:25,293 --> 00:15:26,293
Here you go.
244
00:15:28,126 --> 00:15:30,251
-What's this?
-Open it, fool.
245
00:15:36,584 --> 00:15:37,584
What the…
246
00:15:40,001 --> 00:15:42,376
How did you… This isn't up for months.
247
00:15:42,459 --> 00:15:46,126
My dad's working in Japan right now,
and he knows a lot of people at Sony.
248
00:15:46,209 --> 00:15:49,543
Thank you. Thank you. Thank you.
Thank you. Thank you.
249
00:15:49,626 --> 00:15:51,168
-Oh!
-Okay. Okay.
250
00:15:52,001 --> 00:15:53,876
Do you all think Stanton smokes weed?
251
00:15:53,959 --> 00:15:55,168
-Yes.
-Yes.
252
00:15:55,251 --> 00:15:56,709
-You really think so?
-Mm-hm.
253
00:15:56,793 --> 00:15:58,709
She bought this place.
254
00:15:59,709 --> 00:16:02,376
So, yeah, one's gotta have
some kind of escape.
255
00:16:03,126 --> 00:16:06,626
And she doesn't strike me as a drunk,
but weed, makes sense.
256
00:16:06,709 --> 00:16:08,751
Maybe she's super evil,
257
00:16:09,751 --> 00:16:13,126
and she really just started this place
so she could watch other people suffer
258
00:16:13,209 --> 00:16:17,209
or maybe even siphon off our life force
and put our souls into dolls.
259
00:16:17,293 --> 00:16:19,043
And late at night,
she talks to those dolls,
260
00:16:19,126 --> 00:16:20,459
makes them do tricks,
261
00:16:20,543 --> 00:16:23,459
and the dolls have to escape
but they're way too short
262
00:16:23,543 --> 00:16:24,709
to reach the doorknob.
263
00:16:30,584 --> 00:16:33,334
-Well, now, I'm thinking about it.
-That is a good point.
264
00:16:34,959 --> 00:16:36,959
Do we really know where these bodies go?
265
00:16:37,709 --> 00:16:40,584
What if it's like Hansel and Gretel,
but also like Sweeney Todd?
266
00:16:40,668 --> 00:16:43,501
And she… she lured us here
with our sicknesses
267
00:16:43,584 --> 00:16:45,209
just to bake us into pies.
268
00:16:46,084 --> 00:16:48,501
-Sandra is high, y'all.
269
00:16:48,584 --> 00:16:50,918
Like, death pie high.
270
00:16:51,834 --> 00:16:55,168
Oh, my god. I'm going to tell a story
called Death Pie High.
271
00:16:55,251 --> 00:17:00,293
And it's about a high school lunch lady
catering a pep rally
272
00:17:00,376 --> 00:17:02,043
and getting revenge
for a bake sale scandal,
273
00:17:02,126 --> 00:17:04,626
and holy shit, it is writing itself.
274
00:17:08,376 --> 00:17:10,293
I'm glad you finally emerged
from your cave.
275
00:17:12,084 --> 00:17:14,626
Keep your distance.
I'm sure I smell bad.
276
00:17:15,209 --> 00:17:16,876
Oh, you don't smell bad.
277
00:17:22,334 --> 00:17:25,126
Okay. You smell bad,
but I… I've smelled worse.
278
00:17:25,793 --> 00:17:27,709
And I've smelled worse.
279
00:17:29,793 --> 00:17:31,043
I don't blame you, though.
280
00:17:31,918 --> 00:17:33,543
You've been in your room for a while.
281
00:17:35,334 --> 00:17:37,751
Dr. Stanton told me I have…
282
00:17:38,584 --> 00:17:40,251
like, clinical depression.
283
00:17:41,793 --> 00:17:43,001
I can't imagine why.
284
00:17:46,834 --> 00:17:49,168
My mom thought I was doing it
for attention.
285
00:17:51,334 --> 00:17:52,293
Or…
286
00:17:53,584 --> 00:17:55,084
acting out because of my dad.
287
00:17:57,918 --> 00:18:01,376
I… I didn't know till I was here that
288
00:18:02,209 --> 00:18:03,626
there was a real name for it.
289
00:18:05,168 --> 00:18:08,751
Dr. Stanton told me,
maybe that's why I have not…
290
00:18:09,959 --> 00:18:15,001
felt stuff sometimes or most times.
291
00:18:19,751 --> 00:18:24,376
I think with what happened to Anya that…
292
00:18:25,959 --> 00:18:27,251
it got me low again.
293
00:18:31,501 --> 00:18:34,918
I'm so fucking scared I'm gonna die
before I see my parents again.
294
00:18:37,168 --> 00:18:38,834
I've been really scared all week.
295
00:18:40,334 --> 00:18:41,543
All month, actually.
296
00:18:43,251 --> 00:18:46,459
All about today.
Like how I wouldn't make it.
297
00:18:49,334 --> 00:18:51,876
So, you're not dead.
298
00:18:54,126 --> 00:18:55,251
That's a good thing.
299
00:18:58,293 --> 00:18:59,418
What are you gonna do?
300
00:19:01,793 --> 00:19:04,126
There's only two things
that I've actually…
301
00:19:04,959 --> 00:19:06,001
really…
302
00:19:07,584 --> 00:19:08,876
really wanted…
303
00:19:09,668 --> 00:19:12,501
is to get the girl and…
304
00:19:14,084 --> 00:19:15,168
save the world.
305
00:19:16,668 --> 00:19:17,584
Oh.
306
00:19:18,334 --> 00:19:19,709
Is that all?
307
00:19:19,793 --> 00:19:22,001
That's all. Yeah.
308
00:19:23,334 --> 00:19:25,001
And I don't know if I'll ever do that.
309
00:19:27,418 --> 00:19:28,543
I don't know if I can.
310
00:19:29,834 --> 00:19:32,751
I don't know if I should, you know.
311
00:19:59,459 --> 00:20:02,751
Okay. Time to fuck off, evil brownie.
312
00:23:05,251 --> 00:23:06,126
Hello?
313
00:23:07,793 --> 00:23:09,209
-Shit.
-Jesus.
314
00:23:09,293 --> 00:23:11,084
-Shit.
315
00:23:14,459 --> 00:23:15,793
Are you okay?
316
00:23:15,876 --> 00:23:17,543
Did you just come in here?
317
00:23:19,709 --> 00:23:21,043
Yeah.
318
00:23:22,626 --> 00:23:23,751
Why?
319
00:23:27,084 --> 00:23:28,709
Because it's midnight.
320
00:23:31,293 --> 00:23:32,626
Fire's ready, folks.
321
00:23:38,543 --> 00:23:39,959
Did you hear that music?
322
00:23:41,334 --> 00:23:43,918
-What music?
-I don't know, actually.
323
00:23:44,001 --> 00:23:45,001
Well…
324
00:23:45,793 --> 00:23:50,043
you must have found a really,
really special brownie.
325
00:23:50,793 --> 00:23:51,834
What did you see?
326
00:23:52,793 --> 00:23:54,001
There was a woman…
327
00:23:55,501 --> 00:23:57,001
standing over Anya.
328
00:23:57,084 --> 00:23:58,459
Oh, shit.
329
00:23:58,543 --> 00:23:59,959
You're still high.
330
00:24:00,043 --> 00:24:01,501
I'm still high.
331
00:24:02,709 --> 00:24:04,918
I am. Sandra is almost asleep.
332
00:24:05,876 --> 00:24:06,959
I don't know, though.
333
00:24:07,876 --> 00:24:11,918
I didn't want to say anything
just because, I don't know,
334
00:24:12,001 --> 00:24:13,876
I thought maybe I imagined it.
335
00:24:13,959 --> 00:24:15,793
But a few nights ago,
336
00:24:16,876 --> 00:24:19,668
I heard someone calling my name
out of the intercom speaker
337
00:24:19,751 --> 00:24:21,043
in the recovery wing.
338
00:24:22,709 --> 00:24:24,209
I had Mark open the door.
339
00:24:25,793 --> 00:24:28,126
-No one was there.
-What did it sound like?
340
00:24:28,209 --> 00:24:30,959
-Yeah, was it a voice you recognize?
-I'm not even sure I heard it,
341
00:24:32,251 --> 00:24:36,668
and I didn't want to bring it up,
and you know, sound all weird for nothing.
342
00:24:36,751 --> 00:24:38,084
Maybe it was a sign…
343
00:24:39,168 --> 00:24:40,959
telling me that you're okay.
344
00:24:42,459 --> 00:24:44,876
There's a heaven. There's a place to go.
345
00:24:46,376 --> 00:24:48,168
You guys know what Anya would say, right?
346
00:24:49,584 --> 00:24:53,793
She'd say, if it was a ghost or a sign,
347
00:24:54,584 --> 00:24:56,043
if they could say "Spence,"
348
00:24:57,376 --> 00:24:58,918
they could say something else, too.
349
00:24:59,876 --> 00:25:01,293
I don't think she's coming.
350
00:25:03,126 --> 00:25:04,084
Really?
351
00:25:05,084 --> 00:25:06,668
She was asleep when I left.
352
00:25:06,751 --> 00:25:07,834
Should we even do this tonight?
353
00:25:07,918 --> 00:25:10,376
I mean, if we're still high
and we're still freaked out,
354
00:25:10,459 --> 00:25:12,543
-then I totally understand.
-Oh, we're doing it.
355
00:25:12,626 --> 00:25:16,001
You plan this day to the letter,
and you said it ended in your story.
356
00:25:16,084 --> 00:25:18,084
And unless you want to hear Death Pie High
357
00:25:18,168 --> 00:25:20,209
which I'm totally committing to,
by the way,
358
00:25:20,293 --> 00:25:21,834
I suggest you step up.
359
00:25:22,418 --> 00:25:26,126
So a little twist
on the toast tonight. Um…
360
00:25:27,668 --> 00:25:29,084
I want a toast to…
361
00:25:31,334 --> 00:25:32,668
I want to toast to days.
362
00:25:34,418 --> 00:25:36,459
Thinking about the day that we've all had,
363
00:25:37,751 --> 00:25:39,876
the day that somebody told us
that we were gonna die.
364
00:25:41,418 --> 00:25:47,043
I wanna toast to those days before
and to those after.
365
00:25:48,709 --> 00:25:51,751
To those before, to those after.
366
00:25:52,459 --> 00:25:55,209
To these days now
and to those days beyond.
367
00:25:55,918 --> 00:25:59,543
To these days now,
and to those days beyond.
368
00:25:59,626 --> 00:26:01,793
Seen or unseen, here but not here.
369
00:26:02,626 --> 00:26:05,876
Seen or unseen, here but not here.
370
00:26:06,751 --> 00:26:07,834
To all those days.
371
00:26:09,709 --> 00:26:10,709
All of them.
372
00:26:21,959 --> 00:26:23,501
My story is called See You Later.
373
00:26:24,584 --> 00:26:28,501
And it doesn't have things
that go bump in the night.
374
00:26:29,376 --> 00:26:32,626
But it does have things,
a few things, in fact,
375
00:26:33,543 --> 00:26:35,543
that scare me.
376
00:26:39,584 --> 00:26:43,626
Luke loves video games.
Quite a programmer too.
377
00:26:43,709 --> 00:26:46,293
Already designing strategy games
from his basement.
378
00:26:46,376 --> 00:26:50,209
But lately the only thing on his mind
is the girl at the counter.
379
00:26:50,293 --> 00:26:52,418
He's come in every afternoon
for the past two weeks,
380
00:26:52,501 --> 00:26:54,543
trying to find the guts to talk to her.
381
00:26:56,584 --> 00:26:58,543
And today's the day
he's gonna talk to the girl.
382
00:27:00,334 --> 00:27:03,959
It's also the day he's gonna kill
the whole world.
383
00:27:10,209 --> 00:27:12,334
I was wondering
when you were gonna pull the trigger.
384
00:27:12,959 --> 00:27:14,126
You played it?
385
00:27:14,209 --> 00:27:16,376
Nah, I'm into strategy mostly.
386
00:27:16,459 --> 00:27:17,793
That's my thing, too.
387
00:27:18,501 --> 00:27:21,001
Then why are you buying Broadsword?
388
00:27:26,209 --> 00:27:27,501
Did you know I, um…
389
00:27:28,334 --> 00:27:30,876
-design games?
-Yeah?
390
00:27:30,959 --> 00:27:32,501
Strategy games, actually.
391
00:27:32,584 --> 00:27:35,126
Um, I'm working on this one,
Starlight Crystal.
392
00:27:35,209 --> 00:27:38,251
Um, I actually wanted to ask you
393
00:27:38,334 --> 00:27:41,418
if you wanted to go out, um,
to a movie with me.
394
00:27:42,293 --> 00:27:45,376
Um, I'm actually seeing someone right now.
395
00:27:46,334 --> 00:27:49,418
We just made it exclusive a week ago,
but I'm flattered.
396
00:27:50,501 --> 00:27:52,959
I'm Becky. It's nice to meet you.
397
00:27:54,751 --> 00:27:56,584
Nice to meet you too. I'm Luke.
398
00:27:57,168 --> 00:27:59,751
I'll put back Broadsword.
399
00:27:59,834 --> 00:28:01,418
-Don't want to buy this.
400
00:28:03,251 --> 00:28:04,751
Starlight Crystal.
401
00:28:07,126 --> 00:28:10,668
Sorry. I wasn't spying.
I just overheard you.
402
00:28:11,251 --> 00:28:12,751
You said you design games.
403
00:28:12,834 --> 00:28:15,918
-Um, yeah, it's…
-I don't mean to freak you out.
404
00:28:16,001 --> 00:28:18,459
No stranger danger.
I'm Vincent from V-com.
405
00:28:19,918 --> 00:28:21,209
Sorry. I don't mean to intrude.
406
00:28:21,293 --> 00:28:22,834
It's just not every day
I meet a high school kid
407
00:28:22,918 --> 00:28:24,418
who code strategy games.
408
00:28:25,501 --> 00:28:26,584
Tell me more.
409
00:28:26,668 --> 00:28:29,043
Vincent Beggs was a legend.
410
00:28:29,126 --> 00:28:31,709
Nobody ever knew what he looked like.
Nobody ever saw him.
411
00:28:31,793 --> 00:28:37,001
He was just a coder, designer, hotshot,
mysterious, genius, rock star, recluse.
412
00:28:37,084 --> 00:28:40,043
So when Vince offered to give him
a sneak peek at his newest game,
413
00:28:40,126 --> 00:28:41,793
Luke didn't even think twice.
414
00:28:41,876 --> 00:28:43,293
Holy shit.
415
00:28:44,168 --> 00:28:45,209
You live here?
416
00:28:45,293 --> 00:28:46,959
This? Nah.
417
00:28:47,043 --> 00:28:49,209
No. This is a rental
just to finish the game.
418
00:28:50,834 --> 00:28:53,043
Check this out.
419
00:28:54,793 --> 00:28:56,126
Holy shit.
420
00:28:56,209 --> 00:28:58,126
This isn't next-gen,
this is next millennium.
421
00:28:58,209 --> 00:29:00,709
What… what are these graphics?
What's the engine?
422
00:29:00,793 --> 00:29:03,001
Near-future battle strategy.
423
00:29:05,543 --> 00:29:09,834
This thing is…
it's basically risk on steroids.
424
00:29:11,293 --> 00:29:13,168
Nuclear arsenal has been moved to orbit.
425
00:29:13,251 --> 00:29:18,376
USA, Russia, China, India,
all have orbital arsenals.
426
00:29:18,459 --> 00:29:22,334
You could start World War III,
you could end World War III.
427
00:29:23,001 --> 00:29:24,376
Or you could end the world.
428
00:29:27,959 --> 00:29:31,501
First of 10,000 decisions.
And this, this is the only easy one.
429
00:29:31,584 --> 00:29:34,459
How many weapon stations do you spin up?
430
00:29:34,543 --> 00:29:37,209
All nine at once or start smaller?
431
00:29:37,293 --> 00:29:39,293
Play it safe one at a time.
432
00:29:40,251 --> 00:29:41,709
Assuming they don't get shot down.
433
00:29:46,168 --> 00:29:47,043
Good luck.
434
00:30:17,584 --> 00:30:19,668
First game
last less than ten minutes.
435
00:30:19,751 --> 00:30:21,709
Complex is an understatement.
436
00:30:21,793 --> 00:30:25,126
Sovereign nation simulated perfectly,
with response times,
437
00:30:25,209 --> 00:30:27,751
wild cards, technical advantages,
and glitches,
438
00:30:27,834 --> 00:30:30,334
and array of weaponry,
unheard of in gaming,
439
00:30:30,418 --> 00:30:34,584
and a complex global ecosystem
that overwhelmed him at every turn.
440
00:30:35,793 --> 00:30:38,459
By midnight, he's seen a hundred
nuclear holocausts,
441
00:30:38,543 --> 00:30:43,501
burned the planet, and obliterated
the human race, again, again, and again.
442
00:30:43,584 --> 00:30:46,001
In short, this game is impossible.
443
00:30:46,084 --> 00:30:47,376
This game is impossible.
444
00:30:47,459 --> 00:30:50,668
It's almost not a game.
It's a proper simulation.
445
00:30:50,751 --> 00:30:54,918
I… I got to factor in weather,
fallout. It's…
446
00:30:55,001 --> 00:30:56,543
-It's not fun.
447
00:30:56,626 --> 00:30:59,209
It's, um… It's too real.
448
00:30:59,293 --> 00:31:02,251
I mean, it'd be a crazy useful training
tool for the military or something, but…
449
00:31:02,334 --> 00:31:05,376
For ethicists too. Nuclear age morality.
450
00:31:05,918 --> 00:31:08,834
All of human strength
meets all of human weakness.
451
00:31:10,668 --> 00:31:11,959
Checkmate for the planet Earth.
452
00:31:13,251 --> 00:31:14,543
This one's my opus.
453
00:31:15,959 --> 00:31:18,376
I'm sorry, I'm late.
I got a bit carried away.
454
00:31:18,459 --> 00:31:20,251
Close at one restaurant, went for another…
455
00:31:20,876 --> 00:31:21,834
Oh.
456
00:31:22,834 --> 00:31:23,876
Hello there.
457
00:31:24,543 --> 00:31:26,001
Uh, this is Luke.
458
00:31:27,584 --> 00:31:29,709
-He's a programmer.
-Yeah.
459
00:31:32,501 --> 00:31:34,209
Um… Hello, Luke.
460
00:31:34,293 --> 00:31:38,834
Um, it's nice to see you. I'm Kara.
461
00:31:42,793 --> 00:31:44,543
Luke's trying out Decision.
462
00:31:44,626 --> 00:31:47,001
Yeah, and I'm not doing so well.
463
00:31:47,084 --> 00:31:49,501
Well, it's difficult, that one.
464
00:31:50,668 --> 00:31:52,543
Almost impossible, that one.
465
00:31:55,793 --> 00:31:57,376
Vincent is a genius, isn't he?
466
00:31:59,084 --> 00:32:02,793
Well, you boys might want to take a break
because I was just down on the beach
467
00:32:02,876 --> 00:32:05,293
and the stars tonight, and the moon…
468
00:32:05,376 --> 00:32:07,168
And you said we would see it pretty soon,
right, Vince?
469
00:32:07,251 --> 00:32:08,293
Yeah, that's right.
470
00:32:09,959 --> 00:32:11,043
See what?
471
00:32:12,834 --> 00:32:14,043
Is that your girlfriend?
472
00:32:14,876 --> 00:32:16,918
Forget games, man. You won at life.
473
00:32:17,543 --> 00:32:18,876
Game over. High score.
474
00:32:19,834 --> 00:32:21,626
You got to see this, Luke.
475
00:32:21,709 --> 00:32:23,084
When? How close?
476
00:32:23,168 --> 00:32:24,584
About 50 seconds or so.
477
00:32:24,668 --> 00:32:27,709
He says like it's normal
to know something like that.
478
00:32:27,793 --> 00:32:29,751
In 50 seconds or so,
479
00:32:29,834 --> 00:32:33,293
you will be able to see
the International Space Station.
480
00:32:37,376 --> 00:32:40,168
He can tell you when a planet
is about to appear on the horizon.
481
00:32:40,918 --> 00:32:43,126
He's amazing with sidereal coordinates.
482
00:32:44,001 --> 00:32:45,876
Yeah, you can tell from the game.
483
00:32:45,959 --> 00:32:47,959
Really makes you consider
the greenhouse effect
484
00:32:48,043 --> 00:32:50,293
is just too much for anyone
to keep track of.
485
00:32:50,376 --> 00:32:53,834
You can't beat a game like that.
It's just… I don't know.
486
00:32:53,918 --> 00:32:56,209
-It's just too much going on.
-Well…
487
00:32:57,543 --> 00:32:59,293
If you help me crack it, Luke,
488
00:33:01,084 --> 00:33:02,501
I'll split the advance with you.
489
00:33:03,501 --> 00:33:04,418
What?
490
00:33:04,501 --> 00:33:07,293
Yeah, take money off your list of things
to worry about.
491
00:33:08,334 --> 00:33:09,334
What do you say?
492
00:33:11,251 --> 00:33:12,459
Uh, um…
493
00:33:12,543 --> 00:33:13,459
There she is.
494
00:33:23,251 --> 00:33:24,418
Holy shit.
495
00:33:25,626 --> 00:33:26,459
Wow.
496
00:33:42,501 --> 00:33:43,334
Luke!
497
00:33:52,918 --> 00:33:55,584
Sorry. That was… that was weird.
498
00:33:56,959 --> 00:33:58,376
I'm okay now, I think. Yeah.
499
00:33:59,959 --> 00:34:01,209
I'm okay.
500
00:34:06,084 --> 00:34:07,418
Nothing weird about this.
501
00:34:07,501 --> 00:34:09,501
I totally drink whatever they handed me,
502
00:34:09,584 --> 00:34:11,626
especially after I blacked out
for no reason.
503
00:34:11,709 --> 00:34:12,959
Uh, there is a reason.
504
00:34:14,418 --> 00:34:15,626
Luke has a bad heart.
505
00:34:16,709 --> 00:34:18,084
He's known it since he was a kid.
506
00:34:19,001 --> 00:34:20,959
He gets winded going up the stairs
sometimes.
507
00:34:21,043 --> 00:34:22,084
He could never play sports.
508
00:34:22,168 --> 00:34:25,209
That's… that's actually one of the reasons
he found video games.
509
00:34:26,001 --> 00:34:29,834
Because his heart had to work
a little harder than most people's.
510
00:34:31,001 --> 00:34:33,043
The doctor said it might not run as long.
511
00:34:34,501 --> 00:34:38,918
It could actually, uh…
quit on him any time, really.
512
00:34:39,751 --> 00:34:42,501
Meanwhile, Becky's
new relationship only grows deeper.
513
00:34:42,584 --> 00:34:44,293
Her new beau is Ray.
514
00:34:44,376 --> 00:34:48,543
He's a son of a major politician.
Rich, connected, and handsome as shit.
515
00:34:48,626 --> 00:34:51,168
He's got a bright, bright future.
516
00:34:51,751 --> 00:34:54,209
The kind of kid that could be anything
when he grew up.
517
00:34:54,293 --> 00:34:56,126
The White House or Wall Street, you know?
518
00:34:56,209 --> 00:34:58,668
The kind of guy who always
gets the girls' attention
519
00:34:58,751 --> 00:35:00,334
and is about to get some more.
520
00:35:00,418 --> 00:35:02,834
Oh, that is just the worst.
521
00:35:03,334 --> 00:35:05,876
And happening to such a beautiful machine.
522
00:35:08,084 --> 00:35:09,459
I've got a jack, cutie.
523
00:35:10,084 --> 00:35:11,543
You need help changing it?
524
00:35:12,668 --> 00:35:15,293
Meanwhile, Luke's over
at Vincent's every day after school,
525
00:35:15,376 --> 00:35:16,543
trying to beat the game.
526
00:35:18,334 --> 00:35:19,584
It's not going great.
527
00:35:20,793 --> 00:35:23,251
Okay. I don't know what you're playing
at here, but I did it.
528
00:35:23,334 --> 00:35:25,793
I triggered the evac
before the bombs hit DC,
529
00:35:25,876 --> 00:35:27,959
and I'm still alive, so…
530
00:35:29,626 --> 00:35:31,918
I'm just stranded out
on the space station now.
531
00:35:32,543 --> 00:35:33,751
Yes, so now what?
532
00:35:33,834 --> 00:35:36,334
Well, I mean, is there another game
that's supposed to start up here?
533
00:35:36,418 --> 00:35:38,043
I'm the only one left,
there's no one here.
534
00:35:38,918 --> 00:35:40,126
What, am I supposed to sit here
535
00:35:40,209 --> 00:35:42,126
and breathe myself to death
for a few months?
536
00:35:43,376 --> 00:35:45,251
What? What? What can I do?
537
00:35:45,334 --> 00:35:46,793
What's… Why isn't the game over?
538
00:35:46,876 --> 00:35:47,876
Exactly.
539
00:35:48,918 --> 00:35:49,876
Now, what?
540
00:36:01,459 --> 00:36:02,501
That's it?
541
00:36:02,584 --> 00:36:05,418
-That's it.
-Okay, you got to change that.
542
00:36:06,168 --> 00:36:09,376
Um, I don't know
what the deus ex machina is meant to be,
543
00:36:09,459 --> 00:36:10,418
but it's lame as fuck.
544
00:36:10,501 --> 00:36:14,209
Um, God, please don't tell me
those are supposed to be aliens.
545
00:36:18,959 --> 00:36:22,209
Then one day, Becky just
breaks down while she rings him up.
546
00:36:22,293 --> 00:36:24,626
Hey. Everything okay?
547
00:36:24,709 --> 00:36:26,584
Just cries her eyes out
in the store.
548
00:36:28,168 --> 00:36:29,584
And Luke tries to help.
549
00:36:29,668 --> 00:36:31,168
Lipstick on his clothes.
550
00:36:31,251 --> 00:36:34,376
She tells him that Ray has been
cheating on her with an older woman.
551
00:36:36,043 --> 00:36:39,043
And though Ray denies it,
Becky knows that it's true.
552
00:36:40,543 --> 00:36:42,126
And that her heart has been broken.
553
00:36:44,209 --> 00:36:45,293
-Bye.
-Bye.
554
00:36:47,126 --> 00:36:48,293
-See you.
-Of course.
555
00:37:01,543 --> 00:37:03,543
-I know what you're doing.
-What?
556
00:37:03,626 --> 00:37:05,001
Hey, back off.
557
00:37:05,584 --> 00:37:06,876
You set me up.
558
00:37:06,959 --> 00:37:09,501
He told me what you're doing,
and it won't work.
559
00:37:09,584 --> 00:37:10,876
Honey, you're being crazy.
560
00:37:10,959 --> 00:37:13,209
Okay? We got caught.
That's all there was to it.
561
00:37:13,293 --> 00:37:15,001
I never touched you, and you know it.
562
00:37:15,584 --> 00:37:16,584
You set me up.
563
00:37:17,751 --> 00:37:20,418
He told me everything. He told me.
564
00:37:21,418 --> 00:37:22,668
You stay away from me.
565
00:37:23,751 --> 00:37:25,584
Wait, who are you talking about?
566
00:37:28,043 --> 00:37:30,501
Frederick. He told me.
567
00:37:35,959 --> 00:37:36,959
We have to go.
568
00:37:37,543 --> 00:37:38,543
-What?
-Now!
569
00:37:40,626 --> 00:37:41,668
Vincent!
570
00:37:42,459 --> 00:37:43,418
Vincent?
571
00:37:45,668 --> 00:37:48,001
Oh, no, no, no, no.
572
00:37:52,293 --> 00:37:53,418
Smell that?
573
00:37:54,501 --> 00:37:55,751
Formaldehyde.
574
00:37:57,126 --> 00:37:58,876
This… this is just a message.
575
00:37:58,959 --> 00:38:01,501
-Where's Vincent?
-He's got him, I think.
576
00:38:02,418 --> 00:38:04,334
-This is his way of saying so.
-What…
577
00:38:04,959 --> 00:38:05,959
What's happening?
578
00:38:06,043 --> 00:38:07,584
I need you to hear this story.
579
00:38:08,918 --> 00:38:12,001
And don't judge me until I'm finished.
580
00:38:13,334 --> 00:38:16,626
There was a girl who fell
head over heels for the perfect boy.
581
00:38:17,626 --> 00:38:19,751
He was just destined for greatness.
582
00:38:20,876 --> 00:38:23,459
They got married too young.
He rose up the ranks fast.
583
00:38:23,543 --> 00:38:25,001
Youngest senator out of New York.
584
00:38:25,084 --> 00:38:28,251
He even gave his wife's best friend a job.
585
00:38:28,959 --> 00:38:31,418
Writing code
for the Department of Defense.
586
00:38:32,709 --> 00:38:34,626
Together, they made something…
587
00:38:35,751 --> 00:38:36,751
amazing.
588
00:38:37,793 --> 00:38:40,584
A global defense system based in space.
589
00:38:41,876 --> 00:38:44,293
They move the nuclear arsenal
safely off the planet
590
00:38:45,751 --> 00:38:47,209
onto the space station.
591
00:38:49,334 --> 00:38:51,668
And then, her best friend,
592
00:38:52,334 --> 00:38:53,709
her sweet friend,
593
00:38:55,834 --> 00:38:58,376
who she could have been happy with
in another life…
594
00:39:00,543 --> 00:39:01,626
Her friend died.
595
00:39:02,793 --> 00:39:04,084
He had a bad heart.
596
00:39:05,126 --> 00:39:06,876
On his 33rd birthday, he died.
597
00:39:06,959 --> 00:39:08,418
And five years later,
598
00:39:08,501 --> 00:39:11,626
her husband becomes
President of the United States.
599
00:39:13,376 --> 00:39:15,168
And the world goes to hell.
600
00:39:16,251 --> 00:39:19,543
The Doomsday Clock goes to midnight
and he spins up the arsenal.
601
00:39:19,626 --> 00:39:22,334
And he wants to drop a bomb
to stop the bombs.
602
00:39:22,418 --> 00:39:24,376
That's what he said,
and she holds him back.
603
00:39:24,459 --> 00:39:27,084
She begs him not to do it, and he…
604
00:39:28,584 --> 00:39:30,126
listens to her.
605
00:39:31,251 --> 00:39:32,459
He hesitates.
606
00:39:33,918 --> 00:39:35,751
And then the missiles fly anyway,
607
00:39:36,626 --> 00:39:39,709
and they evac to the space station
into orbit.
608
00:39:40,584 --> 00:39:42,209
And then he pushes the buttons.
609
00:39:43,501 --> 00:39:44,834
But it's too late.
610
00:39:44,918 --> 00:39:47,459
His missiles fly down
and their missiles fly up.
611
00:39:47,543 --> 00:39:49,584
And the world is burned to nothing.
612
00:39:50,251 --> 00:39:51,584
And they wait.
613
00:39:51,668 --> 00:39:55,376
Just a handful of people
left on the space station.
614
00:39:55,959 --> 00:39:58,959
The air is running out,
the food is running out,
615
00:39:59,043 --> 00:40:01,084
and the world below them is dead.
616
00:40:02,876 --> 00:40:04,459
And he's losing his mind.
617
00:40:05,168 --> 00:40:06,876
Her husband snaps.
618
00:40:06,959 --> 00:40:09,293
He goes manic and he's violent.
619
00:40:09,876 --> 00:40:12,043
He's driven insane by what he's done.
620
00:40:12,793 --> 00:40:14,251
And then they came.
621
00:40:16,168 --> 00:40:20,376
These, uh, bright lights like stars.
622
00:40:22,168 --> 00:40:26,168
Bigger and bigger,
circling around the space station.
623
00:40:26,834 --> 00:40:28,293
Peering in the windows
624
00:40:29,001 --> 00:40:30,543
and then coming inside.
625
00:40:31,084 --> 00:40:32,251
Are they angels?
626
00:40:33,084 --> 00:40:36,084
The white lights, are they angels?
627
00:40:36,168 --> 00:40:37,709
Sandra's gonna Sandra.
628
00:40:38,293 --> 00:40:40,293
They're not, I call them…
629
00:40:41,209 --> 00:40:42,626
-the Alumini.
-The Alumini.
630
00:40:44,001 --> 00:40:46,584
Beings from a galaxy far, far away.
631
00:40:46,668 --> 00:40:48,876
And they had been watching us.
632
00:40:49,751 --> 00:40:54,876
They could send us back, they said,
into a point in our timeline.
633
00:40:56,668 --> 00:40:58,251
A chance to change something.
634
00:40:59,959 --> 00:41:01,626
A chance to change everything.
635
00:41:03,459 --> 00:41:04,418
Luke…
636
00:41:07,376 --> 00:41:08,709
I'm Becky…
637
00:41:09,584 --> 00:41:10,709
from the future.
638
00:41:12,793 --> 00:41:13,709
And Frederick…
639
00:41:13,793 --> 00:41:14,793
Who are you talking about?
640
00:41:14,876 --> 00:41:15,709
Frederick.
641
00:41:16,376 --> 00:41:20,168
…is Ray, my husband,
and he's back here too.
642
00:41:21,168 --> 00:41:24,918
If you're Becky and this guy is Ray…
643
00:41:27,168 --> 00:41:28,334
then who's Vincent?
644
00:41:32,751 --> 00:41:33,959
Honey, that's you.
645
00:41:36,501 --> 00:41:40,501
He took the name Vincent Beggs
because he knew you idolize that name.
646
00:41:40,584 --> 00:41:41,959
You trust him.
647
00:41:42,043 --> 00:41:44,751
He also knew, more importantly,
that you had no idea
648
00:41:44,834 --> 00:41:46,459
what the real Vincent Beggs looked like.
649
00:41:46,543 --> 00:41:50,626
But I thought you said I died
on my 33rd birthday long before the war.
650
00:41:51,543 --> 00:41:53,168
-You did.
-Yeah.
651
00:41:53,251 --> 00:41:54,918
So, how, how did I end up here?
652
00:41:55,001 --> 00:41:56,876
I don't know exactly. Um…
653
00:41:57,418 --> 00:42:00,959
You haven't told me everything,
but they sent you back too.
654
00:42:01,584 --> 00:42:04,459
You woke up here on the beach
and they told you
655
00:42:04,543 --> 00:42:07,418
you had a purpose to teach yourself.
656
00:42:07,501 --> 00:42:09,709
Something about the game, the code.
657
00:42:09,793 --> 00:42:12,543
You came back here to stop the war.
658
00:42:14,584 --> 00:42:15,793
And what about Ray?
659
00:42:18,251 --> 00:42:19,459
I've got to kill him.
660
00:42:22,001 --> 00:42:25,001
I got to say,
I'm a little shocked to see you here.
661
00:42:26,834 --> 00:42:28,418
I mean, you weren't even there.
662
00:42:28,501 --> 00:42:31,084
You died, man,
before the whole thing went down.
663
00:42:32,209 --> 00:42:33,793
Yeah, they brought me back anyway.
664
00:42:33,876 --> 00:42:35,293
Yeah, but why?
665
00:42:36,001 --> 00:42:40,834
I mean, with us, it was…
They just told us that we could go back.
666
00:42:40,918 --> 00:42:43,168
A chance to save all of humanity.
667
00:42:43,251 --> 00:42:45,209
We could go back and change…
668
00:42:46,876 --> 00:42:47,959
something, I don't know.
669
00:42:48,626 --> 00:42:51,126
You're here to find Becky, why?
670
00:42:52,543 --> 00:42:53,751
She's messing with me.
671
00:42:54,584 --> 00:42:58,168
And I, I… I can see her in my memories
and these new memories.
672
00:43:00,418 --> 00:43:02,668
I think that she is trying to kill me.
673
00:43:04,168 --> 00:43:06,709
She thinks killing me
might stop the whole thing.
674
00:43:06,793 --> 00:43:08,001
Like it was my fault.
675
00:43:09,084 --> 00:43:10,793
This was her fault, you know?
676
00:43:12,501 --> 00:43:16,334
If she dies,
maybe none of this happens at all.
677
00:43:16,418 --> 00:43:18,209
I won't tell you where she is.
678
00:43:19,293 --> 00:43:20,168
I won't.
679
00:43:22,959 --> 00:43:26,126
You always had a thing for her.
I always knew that.
680
00:43:27,751 --> 00:43:29,918
Shit, I should have just
let you have her, Luke.
681
00:43:32,668 --> 00:43:34,209
And I would have done it right.
682
00:43:35,209 --> 00:43:36,501
I would have won.
683
00:43:36,584 --> 00:43:37,584
You wouldn't have.
684
00:43:38,293 --> 00:43:39,834
That's not the way you beat the game.
685
00:43:39,918 --> 00:43:41,876
It's not a game, Luke.
686
00:43:43,251 --> 00:43:44,668
I know that, Ray.
687
00:43:49,043 --> 00:43:52,501
You tell me where she is, right now!
688
00:43:54,001 --> 00:43:55,459
What did they look like…
689
00:43:58,293 --> 00:43:59,334
…when they came to you?
690
00:44:00,918 --> 00:44:03,751
I thought they were aliens at first.
They… they had to be.
691
00:44:04,584 --> 00:44:10,168
Or some kind of incredibly advanced,
telekinetic lifeform.
692
00:44:11,793 --> 00:44:14,584
I was there on the ground, dying.
693
00:44:16,293 --> 00:44:17,793
My heart wasn't beating.
694
00:44:19,876 --> 00:44:21,126
And the light came,
695
00:44:22,126 --> 00:44:23,668
and they told me I had one chance,
696
00:44:25,418 --> 00:44:27,001
one chance to come back…
697
00:44:27,668 --> 00:44:31,626
So, you came back here
to try and get with the girl?
698
00:44:32,168 --> 00:44:33,584
I came back here to program.
699
00:44:35,334 --> 00:44:38,251
-I came back here to code.
-The game?
700
00:44:39,043 --> 00:44:40,293
What's the point?
701
00:44:41,626 --> 00:44:43,376
It worked pretty well. Sad to say.
702
00:44:43,459 --> 00:44:47,709
Not the game, the program, him.
Me, I guess, I…
703
00:44:50,626 --> 00:44:52,001
I think it might have worked.
704
00:44:52,626 --> 00:44:54,251
You're not gonna tell me, are you?
705
00:44:54,918 --> 00:44:56,084
Do what you got.
706
00:44:57,418 --> 00:44:58,418
All right.
707
00:45:10,668 --> 00:45:13,043
So Luke dies for the second time
in his life,
708
00:45:13,668 --> 00:45:18,001
but he isn't scared
because he's felt it this whole time.
709
00:45:18,084 --> 00:45:20,876
Felt the idea taking root
in his own brain.
710
00:45:22,584 --> 00:45:24,501
That's the thing
about being from the future.
711
00:45:25,668 --> 00:45:27,918
You don't have to wonder
if you change the past.
712
00:45:33,959 --> 00:45:36,209
If you did, you'll know it.
713
00:45:38,043 --> 00:45:39,126
Because you'll change too.
714
00:45:46,001 --> 00:45:49,459
But despite his assurances,
Becky refuses to believe
715
00:45:49,543 --> 00:45:53,918
that Luke can stop the world from ending
by simply not writing the code.
716
00:45:54,501 --> 00:45:57,376
The only way to win is not to play,
so I won't write the code…
717
00:45:57,459 --> 00:45:59,001
Because in her mind,
718
00:45:59,709 --> 00:46:02,043
there was only one way
to change the future.
719
00:46:02,126 --> 00:46:03,584
To change everything.
720
00:46:05,709 --> 00:46:07,043
Just leave me alone.
721
00:46:07,126 --> 00:46:08,126
Killing Ray.
722
00:46:08,209 --> 00:46:09,959
-Get out.
-Becky, don't do this.
723
00:46:10,043 --> 00:46:11,626
-Get out.
-Becky. Becky, please.
724
00:46:11,709 --> 00:46:12,709
Get out!
725
00:46:23,584 --> 00:46:24,793
Look out!
726
00:46:29,376 --> 00:46:30,293
Becky?
727
00:46:31,584 --> 00:46:32,501
Becky?
728
00:46:35,709 --> 00:46:39,084
-Becky. Hey, hey, hey. Look at me.
-Luke.
729
00:46:39,168 --> 00:46:40,834
-Hey.
-What have you done?
730
00:46:42,626 --> 00:46:44,209
Why you!
731
00:47:10,584 --> 00:47:11,876
Luke went on his way.
732
00:47:12,418 --> 00:47:15,876
He never did write the code,
never ventured outside his games.
733
00:47:16,376 --> 00:47:18,751
If the world was gonna end,
it wouldn't be because of him.
734
00:47:20,209 --> 00:47:21,459
No, he was careful.
735
00:47:22,043 --> 00:47:25,334
Careful for the future
and careful for his heart.
736
00:47:26,459 --> 00:47:28,168
Ray still became president,
737
00:47:28,251 --> 00:47:30,459
but he was changed
by what happened that night.
738
00:47:31,418 --> 00:47:32,376
He was wiser.
739
00:47:33,043 --> 00:47:34,459
He knew what death looked like.
740
00:47:35,459 --> 00:47:38,584
Luke, he lived a good life,
living every moment.
741
00:47:40,001 --> 00:47:42,043
And he realized something else too.
742
00:47:42,126 --> 00:47:45,543
Whatever those lights were,
whatever those beings were,
743
00:47:45,626 --> 00:47:47,418
they were probably not alien.
744
00:47:47,501 --> 00:47:51,876
No, they felt too human.
Angels, he decided.
745
00:47:52,543 --> 00:47:56,043
The Alumini or whatever Becky called them,
they were angels.
746
00:47:56,876 --> 00:47:59,043
And maybe that's what angels are, really.
747
00:47:59,126 --> 00:48:01,251
Maybe angels are just second chances.
748
00:48:07,584 --> 00:48:09,668
Years later, he went back to that beach.
749
00:48:10,459 --> 00:48:12,584
A normal Wednesday.
Nothing special at all.
750
00:48:14,126 --> 00:48:17,543
Except it was the day
after his 33rd birthday.
751
00:48:18,501 --> 00:48:21,251
The day after his death day,
according to Kara.
752
00:48:22,709 --> 00:48:24,293
But his heart hadn't given out.
753
00:48:25,126 --> 00:48:27,584
No lights in the sky. No, Luke was alive.
754
00:48:28,959 --> 00:48:33,251
He didn't know if it'd be for another day
or another year or what,
755
00:48:33,334 --> 00:48:36,293
but, hell, do any of us?
756
00:48:40,751 --> 00:48:41,876
Wow.
757
00:48:42,793 --> 00:48:45,084
Watch out, James Cameron.
758
00:48:45,584 --> 00:48:46,751
Guys,
759
00:48:47,584 --> 00:48:50,418
she's gonna be so mad.
760
00:48:51,459 --> 00:48:55,043
Weeks and weeks of angel porn,
761
00:48:55,126 --> 00:48:57,626
and she missed the one angel story
that worked.
762
00:49:10,043 --> 00:49:10,918
What are you doing?
763
00:49:12,626 --> 00:49:13,626
Fuck off!
764
00:49:15,459 --> 00:49:18,376
-I'm gonna help.
-I said fuck off!
765
00:49:18,459 --> 00:49:20,543
How about you shut the fuck up
and let me help you?
766
00:49:32,876 --> 00:49:34,168
I wet the fucking bed.
767
00:49:37,626 --> 00:49:40,418
Let's get you in the bath
and I'll take care of the sheets.
768
00:49:51,918 --> 00:49:54,084
I… I killed my parents.
769
00:50:02,709 --> 00:50:04,418
Let's just start with the bath,
770
00:50:05,793 --> 00:50:09,584
then the sheets, and…
then we can talk about your parents.
771
00:50:14,084 --> 00:50:15,501
Why did you end it like that?
772
00:50:16,918 --> 00:50:17,959
Like what?
773
00:50:20,293 --> 00:50:22,584
Becky kills herself.
774
00:50:23,751 --> 00:50:25,293
Luke doesn't get the girl.
775
00:50:28,751 --> 00:50:29,918
Right, yeah, well…
776
00:50:31,293 --> 00:50:32,501
You write what you know.
777
00:50:34,459 --> 00:50:35,709
I don't like that.
778
00:50:38,084 --> 00:50:42,376
It rang a little hollow for me
because of that.
779
00:50:44,376 --> 00:50:46,126
I wanted them to be together.
780
00:51:02,918 --> 00:51:04,376
-Good night.
-Night.
781
00:51:21,918 --> 00:51:23,209
See you later, Amesh.
782
00:51:27,168 --> 00:51:30,168
I was offered this chance.
783
00:51:30,251 --> 00:51:32,751
This big American ballet school
784
00:51:32,834 --> 00:51:34,459
was going to bring me
all the way to the States.
785
00:51:34,543 --> 00:51:35,751
And they came with me.
786
00:51:37,168 --> 00:51:40,376
Gave up their whole lives
just to give me a shot at mine.
787
00:51:41,709 --> 00:51:44,418
I don't know why I wanted
to fuck that up so badly.
788
00:51:46,293 --> 00:51:47,209
I went…
789
00:51:48,668 --> 00:51:49,668
crazy.
790
00:51:52,209 --> 00:51:55,209
The one time they noticed
I'd… I'd snuck out…
791
00:51:56,834 --> 00:51:57,876
One time…
792
00:51:59,126 --> 00:52:00,209
they noticed.
793
00:52:02,001 --> 00:52:03,376
They went looking for me.
794
00:52:07,209 --> 00:52:10,084
The police said
they drove around for hours,
795
00:52:11,501 --> 00:52:14,501
and they hit some black ice.
796
00:52:14,584 --> 00:52:16,543
And they, uh…
797
00:52:20,459 --> 00:52:21,334
Hey.
798
00:52:22,793 --> 00:52:23,793
And there was the funeral.
799
00:52:23,876 --> 00:52:24,751
Uh…
800
00:52:25,501 --> 00:52:26,668
And the rest…
801
00:52:27,668 --> 00:52:29,668
And Rhett…
802
00:52:31,209 --> 00:52:33,168
My best friend, Rhett.
803
00:52:33,251 --> 00:52:36,793
Well, not my best friend anymore, I guess.
804
00:52:38,709 --> 00:52:40,959
After they died, I started doing H,
805
00:52:42,584 --> 00:52:46,001
and he tried to get me
into a bunch of rehabs.
806
00:53:01,834 --> 00:53:03,168
He bought this for me.
807
00:53:07,251 --> 00:53:10,209
Then I threw it on his head
when he told me
808
00:53:10,293 --> 00:53:12,543
that I was gonna die
if I didn't get cleaned.
809
00:53:15,418 --> 00:53:20,418
And its leg broke off
and Rhett fucked off.
810
00:53:22,168 --> 00:53:23,876
Two months later, I got diagnosed.
811
00:53:27,876 --> 00:53:31,376
Same goddamn leg.
812
00:53:37,043 --> 00:53:38,334
I think I know what it was.
813
00:53:39,626 --> 00:53:40,543
What?
814
00:53:41,876 --> 00:53:43,584
The thing I saw when I came to…
815
00:53:45,376 --> 00:53:46,334
The shadow.
816
00:53:50,209 --> 00:53:52,376
The only thing it can be
in a place like this.
817
00:53:55,376 --> 00:53:56,418
Creeping.
818
00:53:57,168 --> 00:53:58,793
Darkness creeping, nothing.
819
00:54:01,418 --> 00:54:03,376
Coming for you when it's your time.
820
00:54:06,918 --> 00:54:08,584
Fucking with you until it is.
821
00:54:10,209 --> 00:54:12,626
I…
822
00:54:12,709 --> 00:54:15,001
I don't… I don't wanna die.
823
00:54:16,959 --> 00:54:19,918
I don't want to die, Ilonka.
