"You ready to go?" "Yeah, I think so." "And you're absolutely sure about this, right?" "Pretty sure, yeah." "There's nothing I can do to change your mind at this point?" "Elspeth, no." "Please, don't make this harder than it already is." "It's okay." "Hey, you know I hate it when you do that." "So you're coming back after you drop me off?" "Yeah." "There are just a couple of things I need to grab." "Don't want the movers busting you." "Here, don't forget your pills." "Thanks." " You've got my key, right?" " Yeah." "Here it is." "Oh..." "Attention all passengers in the concourse:" "This will be your final boarding call for flight 1102 with non-stop service to..." "Excuse me." "You're Dr. Gray..." "Cole Gray, aren't you?" "Yeah." "Why?" "I work at the Facility." "Security." "You're headed there for the position, right?" "Yep." "I start tomorrow." "You live close to the Facility, right?" "Yeah, I kinda have to." "You wanna share a cab?" "That won't be necessary, gentlemen." "Miss Strack?" "What are you doing here?" "I'm picking up our newest researcher." "And you too, from the looks of it." "It's nice to see you again, Cole." "It's good to finally be here." "I'm ready to get started." "Great." "We're headed straight for the Facility so we can pick up your security card and clearances for tomorrow." "Of course we'll drop you off first." "I don't want Brianna getting mad at me." "This way, gentlemen." "Cole, this is Jason Freese." "He'll be working with you in the RD division." " Back to the Facility compound, right?" " Yeah." "And that brings the number of disappearances to 12." "Another strange disturbance has cropped up in the community, this time right in town center." "Julie Dylan is on location with the latest." "Hey, Phil, can you come in here for a sec?" "Captain, this is the third such sinkhole in the past month." "Do you think the community is in any kind of danger?" "I respect your conviction, son, but sometimes I don't know why you keep this up." "It's like banging your head against the wall." "I'm pretty sure that I know why he does it." " What we know up to this point..." " Seriously?" "Come on, would you guys just drop it already?" "All I'm saying is you're not fooling anybody." "Son, what your mother's trying to say is that you, uh... you know, you spend a lot of time with that girl." "Hey, Philip, seriously, get in here and check this out." " Who's he again?" " Andy." "The tech guy?" "I spend a lot of time with him too." "Now what does that mean?" "That means that whatever choices you've made, we'll love you anyway." "But seriously, are you guys gonna be okay tonight while I'm gone?" "Don't worry about it." "I'm in for the night, so I'll be here if anything happens." "Nothing's gonna happen." "Ever since I started the new meds," " I've felt like a new woman." " Mm." "Sounds like I wouldn't want to be here anyway." "Well, we have no way of knowing what's causing these." "I'm sure there's... it's probably something entirely logical." "I mean what we know up to this point is that preliminary readings show no discernable danger of gases or radiation..." "I just wish they'd stop talking about those stupid holes." "They weren't creepy till the press made them creepy." " Maybe it's the restless spirits." " Not you too." "I hear enough of that in the waiting room at the doctor's office." "So we're just cautioning people..." "Sounds to me like a Public Works issue." "...to stay as far away as possible from the immediate vicinity of these disturbances." "And do you think the Facility has anything to do with these disturbances?" "Well, I..." "I can't comment on that." "Thank you, Captain." "We'll continue bringing you these updates and more as soon as we get them." "And we're out." "Miss Dylan, I'd..." "I'd like you to know that I'm not being vague on purpose." "We really don't know what's going on around here, okay?" "It's... it's okay, just as long as you let me know as soon as you have it figured out." "Douche bag." "Hey, Jesse, you ready to roll?" "Yeah, I'm almost wrapped up here." "That was the first real one, right?" "That I'm aware of?" "Yeah." "Oh, way to throw him off." "Pretty smooth." " I do have my moments." " Yes, you do." "You know that Cole gets in tonight." "Oh, that's right." "I almost forgot, with everything going on." "Mom reminded me this morning too and she wants you to call her, by the way." "I'll give her a call once we get back to the station." " And you need a haircut." " Oh, that's cute." "Ha." "Here, call Cole." "Thank you, Captain." "We'll continue bringing you these updates and more as soon as we have them." "Well, you know what that means." "Yeah, it pretty much always plays out the exact same way." "You think that this is related too?" "Truth is stranger than fiction and coincidences rarely happen." "I bet the disappearances are related as well." "Have you heard anything from anyone else yet?" "Yeah, we're gonna meet up with everybody and form a game plan." "Look, once this thing goes down, we need to assume we'll be the only ones able to get the word out." "As far as I'm concerned we're ready to go." "I have all the usual blogs and newsfeeds standing by to break things for us." "Speaking of which..." "I did some digging and came across a pretty interesting article." "It may not be related, but like you said, coincidences rarely happen, so there you go." " What is it?" " Have you ever heard of Joseph Webber?" " I don't think so." " Check it out." "Webber went to jail for child molestation about 15 years back." "It all happened within a few miles of here." "He got out just a few months ago." " Guess where he lives." " Next door?" " No." " Damn." "At the end of the street." "You're joking." " Serious as a heart attack." " That can't be possible." "When they release those guys, they're supposed to relocate them far far away from the area they committed the crime in." "Yeah, that's what you would think, right?" "There has to be something there." "That's just a little too strange." "Wait until you hear the rest." "I did some more digging and found that people pretty much had the expected reaction to Webber's return." "Even with all the brouhaha the parole board refused to move him." "He gets his assed kicked almost every week like clockwork and he can't do anything about it." "But by all official accounts, he's being a good boy..." " completely reformed." " That's horrible and also very compelling." "Who's worse:" "The criminal or the society that criminalizes him?" "We should talk to him." "You do realize that there's a chance that he's involved in these disappearances, right?" "Yeah, of course I do, but I'm pretty sure he's not involved with the massive pulsating sinkholes." "We could scoop two stories at once." "Well, it sounds to me like twice the work and about four times as thankless." " Well, nobody said it would be easy." " All right." "You are seeing what I'm seeing, right?" "Of course... the oblivious devil-may-care guys will triumph over Philip once again." "Yeah, and it's not even Andy's fault." "He probably doesn't even realize what's going on." "I know." "With everything going on with me, you know," "I just wish that Philip could be happy for once." "Is that wrong of me?" " Oh." " Sweetie, are you okay?" "Oh." "Yeah yeah, I'm..." "I'm fine, really." "It's probably just a side effect of the new meds." "It happens from time to time." "Are you sure?" "You never mentioned that to us." "That's because it was no big deal." "I didn't want you guys to worry needlessly." " Maybe Philip should have stayed." " No." "I want him to come, but I want him to go." "Oh, just forget about it." "I just wish that Andy guy would not be around." "Yeah, I know." "All right, so I guess I'll see you guys in a bit." "We're meeting him there, right?" "Yeah, we're meeting everybody at 7:30." "Well, we've got some time to kill." " You wanna grab dinner or something?" " Hmm." "Hey, Webber, heard you got cancer." "Enjoy it, because you damn well deserve it." "I know you had something to do with those missing people." "And you know what?" "I'm gonna get the boys together and we're gonna kill you, you perverted fuck." "Joseph, it's Billy from the pen." "I get out next week." "And when I do, I'm gonna come by and I'm gonna fuck you just..." "So you've seen the tests." "I'm actually appalled at the toxicity levels." "I sent it back twice just to be sure there wasn't a mistake." " Now do you believe us?" " Yeah." "I don't want to, but yeah." "These guys are supposed to be curing a disease, not infecting people with another one." " So you're with us on this?" " Of course I am." "This is an outrage!" "This is the worst case of corporate negligence" " I've ever seen." " Who said negligence?" "All right, we have to prepare ourself for the very real possibility that this is all done on purpose... the tumors, the disappearances, the things in the ground." "Considering something like that scares the shit out of me." "It scares the shit out of all of us." "That's why we have to get the word out and hopefully put a stop to it." "I'm pretty sure one-third of this town has cancer already." "Do you think that we could get a copy of all those X-rays and post them on the blog?" "Oh, that's a bit morbid, don't you think?" "Yeah, maybe, but it could definitely hammer it home, you know?" "Sometimes you have to shock people into action." "That's true, but we don't really have an informant at the hospital yet, not like we do at the Facility, at least." "Well, hopefully this next media blast will change all that." "Apparently something huge is supposed to be happening in the next few days, so we need to get this out there like yesterday." "Now, guys, keep in mind that we're about to get our hands on some truly implicating stuff." "We've never been in with a group this large and never with video support." " Speaking of which..." " They're on their way." "Okay." "Like she said, it's not going to be easy." "Security is super tight around there." "Is it really necessary that we go into the belly of the beast like this?" " It's all we got." " Yeah." "This place has the media on total lockdown." "We have to bring out irrefutable evidence." "It's the only way anyone would listen to us at this point." "So, Jen, how do you propose we get in there to get the proof we need?" "I think I might have an idea." " We have about an hour left, right?" " Yeah, that's it." "Hey, would you mind stopping right over here?" " Just for a minute." " I don't know." "Do we have time?" "Sure, we're..." "we're in no hurry." "Uh, I have a few phone calls to make anyway." " What's here?" " Jennifer." "Oh." "Hey." "Is uh... is Jennifer here?" "Jen?" "It's for you." "Ouch." "Yeah, hi." "The plan is to go with a soft start tomorrow and then we'll be hitting full throttle by week's end." "Yeah, I saw it." " Hey." " Hey." "You're here already." "Why didn't you ask me to come pick you up?" "Oh, they had a ride waiting for me." "Nice." "Hey, I was wondering, um, after I get settled in, you wanna do something later tonight?" "Oh, I can't." "See, I've got this meeting going on right now and it's probably gonna run late." "We're still trying to figure out the new format for our website revision." "You could just, you know..." "you could come over or something." " Oh, I..." " Um, hey, Jen," "I really think we need to get the meeting back on track, so..." "Barry." "So..." "Actually, I'll probably just see what Mark's doing." "He told me that he'd be in town, so..." "Well, that sounds like a good idea." "Hey, why don't I call you later?" " When we're done, okay?" " Yeah." "So you're headed to the meeting tonight." "So you're headed to the meeting tonight." "Yeah, we're heading down there in a bit." "Just gonna go by the house and get a quick bite to eat first." "You guys need to..." "tonight." "She's moving up..." "the... table." "You're breaking up." "Say it again." "You guys have to..." "tonight." "I think she's..." "the timetable." "I said you have to get in there tonight!" "They're already aiming the main..." "out in the neighborhood." "I think the whole thing is..." "in the next 24 hours." "There's already..." "that indicates..." "Okay, what?" "Say it again, man." "You're breaking up." "Wait, okay." "All right, it's clearing up." "Go ahead." "I said we just registered a big activity spike near you." "The effect triangulation also connects to..." "Anderson house." " What?" " The Ander... house!" "...derson!" "What did you say?" "Mrs. Anderson wishes you weren't even around." "Aah!" "You stay the fuck away from Philip Anderson." "Hey, Jacob." "Still tearing it up online again, buddy?" "Guess so." "Plug a couple for me, champ." "Baby, I'm home." "Jacob?" "No!" "No eggs?" "No, wait wait." "Lately..." "lately it's been bricks just waiting to..." "to smash my face in." "Okay, now that we're here, what exactly am I taking pictures of?" "Okay." "Now I have to ask myself, "Is this really worth it?"" "Because... somebody's gonna do something really shitty to me today." "It's bound to happen, but I..." "I've got to go to the store." "At the very least I'll get some stares." "Yeah, maybe called a name or two." "Ah." "And then there's these." "That's... that's all I need." "Hey, guys, something's going on with this dude." "Gonna play my game." "What the hell?" "Could be the cancer." "I heard he got sick too." "You mean sicker." "Gah!" "So I hear you like to fuck kids." "Let me show you how it feels." "Aah!" "Jesus." "What?" "I don't know." " We'll look later." "Keep snapping." " Okay." "Play with... play with..." "It's not real." " Let me show you how it feels." " No, it's not real." "It's not real." "Real..." "Real..." "Guys, I..." "I don't know what I just saw." "It looked pretty weird from where I'm standing." " Yeah." " And no video." "Freakin' Andy." " You've got the camera with the video." " Oh yeah." "We have got to follow this guy." "I have a feeling wherever he goes, shit's going down." "Trace, you coming or you going back to Jennifer's?" "Let's just do it." "No shit." "Oh shit." " What's the speed limit here?" " About 20, I think." " Are you fucking kidding me?" " Come on, he's not gonna go far." "This sucks." "We've been having a lot of long days here lately." "We had quite a number of breakthroughs." "It's gotten everyone really jazzed up." "Of course we reimburse for overtime." "Word is you're the guy who's closest to the cure." "That's what they're saying, huh?" "Oh, that's what we're hearing." "Well, I must say that I'm especially intrigued by the new top-secret vaccine you guys have developed." "Mm-hmm." "I couldn't dig up any information on it in journals, which is pretty..." "it's pretty rare these days." "You get to see everything tomorrow." "In the meantime, here we have your credentials, the Facility map, the benefits package." "And we activated this and we set it to the pin you requested." "Oh, one more thing..." "we still need to get you in for a physical..." "just a formality." "But that reminds me..." "I understand you've been on medication." " Yeah, migraines." " Hmm." " How'd you know that?" " Our doctors here pulled your history." "We just want to make sure we're all on the same page." "Well, I think we're done here." " Yes?" " Yes." "Great." "So, Dr. Gray, you mind if I join you and Wayne for drinks tonight?" "No, not at all." "We'll probably have a few more friends show up." "Hey, the more the merrier." "How about you, Louise?" "No, thank you." "Tomorrow's the anniversary and I'm gonna try and stop by my mother's tonight." "Oh, that's right." "I forgot." "I'm sorry about that." "Don't worry about it." "You guys have a good time." "So what brings you to our quaint little hamlet, Dr. Gray?" "Any of your names Jennifer Crusel?" " Mark." " Mark." "I take it this is your friend, Dr. Gray?" "No, I've never seen this guy before." "What's up, man?" " Cole, Cole, my ace in the hole." " How are you doing, man?" " Good, man." "You're looking good." " Good." "Mark Kincaid, this is Jason and his boyfriend John." "Nice to meet you." "How long have you guys known each other?" " Um..." " Let's see..." "I don't know if he'll ever be ready to hear something like that." "So what does that mean for us?" "I mean, what kind of future do you think we can have if we're sneaking around town all the time?" "We'll figure it out." "Who cares what they think?" "Hey." "Ready to switch?" "Who cares what they think, right?" "Come on." "Hey." "Hey, hold on." " How far do I get to take the charade?" " What just happened?" "You don't even get to high-five her, bro." "How is he gonna believe that I'm her boyfriend if I don't give her a goodnight kiss?" " He's got a point, Mark." " Just a little one." " You two are terrible." " I'm just messing with you, man." "Relax, okay?" "I'll come back here, all right?" "All right." "You staying over?" "Yes, sweetheart, I'm staying the night." " Well, thank you." " Okay." " You wanna watch some shitty movies?" " No doubt." " Okay, later." " Cool." "Thus began our beautiful long-term friendship." "Cheers." "So who's this Jennifer Crusel?" "And why does her name sound so familiar?" "She's, uh, just this girl." "That he's madly in love with." "See?" "This is a story that I wanna hear." " Oh, it is." " Do tell, Dr. Gray." "Yes, Dr. Gray, do tell indeed." "I personally think you should get a tattoo on your forehead that says "fucking chump."" "Then every time you look in the mirror... wha!" "Yeah, how many chances are you gonna give this girl?" "Dude, I just met you." "Definitely more than he gave me." "Ah, I guess we're getting the band back together." "Hi, Jesse." "Hey, Julie." " Here, wanna sit?" " Yeah." "I'm surprised you weren't waiting for him at the airport." "I heard that you might be coming back for a job at the Facility." "You know, gotta wonder why the hell you would ever want to come back here." "Boy, you just missed the tail end of a mean conversation." "So, Miss Stanton, I've seen you around a bit." "Yeah, well, this is pretty much my beat, but I don't usually get much work since there isn't much crime in this area, not until lately." "It was kind of weird when the community got annexed." "They didn't fire or demote us... just kind of reassigned our duties." "But we also cover some of the other suburban areas, but it's pretty slow." "Does anybody know anything about the disappearances or any of the other weird stuff going on?" "What you got from the captain is par for the course." "It's got the entire department in complete chaos." "Speaking of which, Mark here used to be a local cop too." "Hey, Mark, why don't you enlighten us on that subject a little bit?" "There isn't too much to tell, really." " Oh, there's not?" " No." "Wow." "Are you flustered?" "I've never heard this story." "Yeah well, Cole, isn't that...?" "6:00." "Aw shit." "Hey, kids." " She's young." " Are you surprised?" " What do you want?" " I haven't heard from you in a long time." "I didn't even know you were coming to town till today." "Yeah." "Well, you know, there's reasons for that." "What the hell does that mean?" " Nothing." " Nothing?" "So who is it tonight?" "Jesus Chri..." "is that...?" "He is just a friend." "You got a lot of those." "Hey, Mark." "Check out who she's with." "You've gotta be kidding me." "How long have you been getting Walter over there to pay your bills?" " Fuckin' leech." " Don't you talk to me that way... ever." " Let's start getting coverage for tomorrow." " Yeah." "Are you guys staying?" "Yeah, we should wrap this up." "Uh, big day tomorrow." " Yeah." " You can do better than that." "You make me fuckin' sick." "Bye, guys." "I'm surprised." "You didn't introduce me to your shitty little friends." " I'm so offended." " Nice." "You know what?" "I wish I never had you." "And sometimes I wish the same thing." "We have something in common." "What's going on over here?" "Nothing..." "nothing at all." "Just talking to my son, my loving son." "I haven't spoken to you in, what, a year, is it?" "So when's the last time you saw your daughter, Walter?" "Fuck you, you mongrel piece of shit." "Punk." " Okay." " Hey, Walter, do you even know her?" " What are you talking about?" " Do you even know her?" " You don't understand, Cole." " Just sit down." " Don't touch me." " Marie." "You don't understand." "No, you don't understand." "You're the latest one for her." " Just sit down." " How many different guys was it when I was growing up, Mom?" "Because I lost count." " You know what... you need to just stop it." "Don't talk to her..." "Cole, you shouldn't..." " I shouldn't talk to her like that?" " She's your mother." " No, you shouldn't." " Ask her about the cigarette burns." "Ask her about her forcing me to eat out of the trash." "You know what... better yet, let me just show you something." " This is funny shit." " He doesn't need to see that." "You will love this shit." "Get the fuck off me!" " This one here... that's funny, right there." " Don't." "Don't." "So don't tell me why I shouldn't talk to her like that." " Cole, maybe you should calm down." " Yeah, man." " Oh, Cole, your nose." " Whoa, you all right?" "I'm okay." " I just got the worst headache." " Oh, I can see why." "I think you two need to go home." "I think you need to mind your business." "Marie, come on, come on." " Let's go." "Come on." " Sit down." " Do you feel okay to leave?" " Yeah." " Good, you can walk me home." " We can go." "Mark." "I think I'm actually gonna catch up with Julie and Jesse, maybe share some info." "Yeah, that always seems to work pretty well for you." "I'll catch up with you, Cole." "...assistance to local families stricken by the disease." "...assistance to local families stricken by the disease." "If you have questions, see a store associate for details." " Here I am." " What's up with that though?" "You don't get double time?"

"Yeah, I'm looking for the paper goods aisle." "Like toilet paper and Kleenex... that sort of thing?" "Yeah." "Yes, that sort of thing." "Where do I need to go?" "Aisle 11-2." "Oh no." "Oh shit."

" Shit!" "Go after him!" " Go after him?" "Yeah, he could be..." "damn it!" "Mr. Webber." "Joseph Webber." " What happened?" " Ahh!" " What did you just do?" " Did the Facility make you do it?" "Facility?" "What?" "I don't know what you're talking about." "I didn't do anything." "I just went in there to buy some toilet paper, for Christ's sake and..." "And what?" "None of this is real." "Don't you see?" "It's not real!" "Yeah?" "Well, I see that and that looks very fucking real." "Ah!" "Okay, we need to go." "Get in." "Are you kidding?" "You're a convicted felon." " No." "No way." " I'm with Tracie on this one." "I mean, he could have caused whatever happened in there." " He's covered in blood." " Whatever happened is still happening." "I told you this was bigger than him." "Look, come on." "We gotta see how this plays out." "Look, I don't know who the fuck you people are;" "I don't know what you want;" "all I know is I need to go!" "Now!" "I need to find help!"

"These are hospital records for every person that's gone missing." "All right, that... stop." "What the hell is going on here?" "Seriously, I think something bad is gonna happen again." "All of the info is in here." "Scan it quickly." "I know you were planning on sharing it with the public." " How did you know that?" " I know..." "I knew your informant." "We also had another guy on the inside... a security guard, but he's disappeared as well." "Look, take this and get it out now." "Start spreading the word before the information gets quashed." "Getting this out in the public is the only way to make sure something gets done." "We can upload it at Philip's house." "That way we can get my mom and dad out as well." "Oh, it burns!" "It hurts, oh!" " It burns!" " Wait!" "I don't care what I just saw or what happened," "I'm not going anywhere with this scumbag." " Look, you don't know what he did." " I know exactly what he did." "That's why he's here." "Hey." "Hey!" "Hey, what the fuck is wrong with him?" "Nothing's wrong." "Nothing at all." "Oh no!" "No no!" "Oh no!" "Get down." "No!" "No!" " Why?" " Get down." " Get out of here!" "Go!" " No, shoot him!" "Is she gone?" "Hello?" "Strack?" "Yeah, it's me." "I'm at home." "Why?" "Shit." "Whoa." "Okay." "What the hell was that for?" " I knew it." " Knew what?" " That he's the cause somehow." " Somewhat." "But he isn't the only one with the talent or whatever you wanna call it." "Most are out there, but the others here, the abductees, they serve to boost the effect." "What?" "I don't follow." "We don't have time right now." "Jennifer, find the map." "I need to get to the center of the Facility." " What's in the center?" " The amplifiers, for lack of a better word." "Okay, we need to go here." " You guys are safer if you stay with me." " Mom?" " L..." "I have to go home." " What?" " Wait, let me see that." "Let me see that." " L..." "I have to leave." " Shit shit." " I have to go home." "Okay, Philip, Philip, Philip." "Look, calm down, okay?" "Calm down." "Philip, listen to me." "As far as I can tell, everything out there is relatively sane." "Listen to me, okay?" "I know I'm not gonna be able to stop you short of shooting you, but you need to understand some things first so you and Katherine can take this information and share it with everyone, okay?" " Okay." "O-okay." " Good." "Here's the short version as I understand it." "Somehow certain people... the ones on the list including your mother... they developed a rare neurological condition." "It says cancer here." "Probably from the shit they dug up, which according to this could be anything from industrial waste, concentrated evil, extraterrestrial material and everything in-between." "Jason said they called it cancer because they ruled out everything else." "This was something new." "It manifested itself in different ways... seizures, tumors, migraines." "Eventually they figured it wasn't destroying the brain;" " it was rewiring it somehow." " Who's they?" "Who do you think?" "We've seen next to no one around here." "We got word that something big was supposed to happen this week." "We know that there's a skeleton crew here, but everyone else is off site." "I'm beginning to understand why." "So what is this doing to my mom?" "Simply put:" "Anyone with this condition..." "Do you know what psychokinesis is?" "Yeah, it's the shit I read about in comic books." "Not anymore." "Apparently these people can control things down to the molecular level." "Well, what about the ghost stories, the fire... all that?" "Every experiment has to have a control to eliminate certain conclusions." "They fed that story to the community to try and induce a specific measurable result." "A sort of feed-off- of-the-group thing." "Isn't that a bit much?" "Obviously they can't alert everyone to what's going on." "And sometimes the best stories are the ones with a kernel of truth in them." "So they really did burn down the entire neighborhood." "The neighborhood and everyone in it." "Jesus." "We're not sure if they came up with the idea first or if it grew out of the plan to take back the area." "Either way, one fed into the other." "All right, here's the exit." "Keep out of sight and run straight to your house." "We'll try and catch up with you later." "Most importantly," " you need to get that stuff on the web." " Okay." "Keep in mind that these constructs are created by human minds, so the usual deterrents will work... a head trauma, blinding light." "Let's go." " Something's here." " No." "There's... there's absolutely nothing here." "Look around." "No, this isn't the truth." "I know." "L..." "I can feel the differences." "It's so much easier." "He's right." "This is supposed to be where they keep the main amplifiers." "You keep saying that." "What the hell are you talking about?" "According to the info we gathered, the neurological aberration manifests itself in two ways." "Think of it like an electric guitar." "There are instruments..." "we call them pushers... of which there are several throughout the neighborhood." "Then there are those who serve as a conduit to the pushers." "Like an amplifier, they help the pusher think louder." "It also makes the effect cover a larger area." " So Cadence and the other abductees..." " Act as amplifiers, yes." "They can do a small amount of pushing on their own." "But you don't want your linebacker throwing the ball." "And you don't want your quarterback on defense." "Though there are some of those with the affliction that can do a little of both." " So you're saying they're in here?" " They're supposed to be, yes." "They must have moved them, or it's a fake out." "They're here." "It's so much easier." "I can just unfold." "It's not just about us, you know?" "There's something about this place, something underground that's... it's still a part of this." "Please don't mention Indians or burial grounds." "No, that's not..." "no, there's something else." "Someone's coming through that door." " What the fuck's going on?" " Mark, it's okay." "Calm down." "For real?" "Shit." "So what do you know?" "Something's pushing." " It's getting stronger!" " What's going on?" "What the fuck is he doing here?" "She's hiding them all from us." "She's a little self-conscious, it seems." "She?" "Now that we're all here... activate everyone." "We're starting the experiment early." "You heard her." "Start the pulse and activate the post-hypnotic fail safes." "Copy that." "Starting pulse." " Aah!" " Aah!" "We wouldn't normally go this fast, so I'm sure it hurts." "What did you just do?" "Oh, we had to move our timetable a little ahead." "What are you doing in this lab?" "You've got it all wrong." "This isn't the lab." "The lab's out there..." "the whole neighborhood." "Where's Cadence?" "Tell me or I'll blow your fuckin' head off." "She's right here, Mark, with all of the other amplifiers." "They've become very strong." "Any shot you take runs the risk of hitting her." " No you don't!" " Mark." "Mark, you don't understand." "She's beyond help." "This is the only way." "Doing this won't bring your brother back." "Maybe not, but it'll sure make the wars a lot more interesting." "I'm so sorry, Cole, but your girlfriend over there jumped the gun a little." "She thinks you're his girlfriend." "All you did was fuck!" "Aah!" "Barry!" "Aah!" "Aah!" "Jesus Christ!" "See?" "That was definitely interesting." "Of course we're gonna have to discuss what happens with that footage." " We're not faking this time." " So the media knew all along?" "Word of mouth only goes so far." "They even helped us set up our scapegoat." "We didn't know." "We thought that you were helping Cole." "We didn't know either fucking way!" "Migraines." "Medication." "Your fractured psyche was precisely what we've been searching for." "After all, thoughts are energy and energy doesn't disappear." "It just changes form." "Exactly, Dr. Gray." "You... you were tailor-made for this." "Your intellect gives you better focus." "It makes you capable of both pushing and transmitting." "It took us pointing all 12 of our amps to take out Freese and William." " But with you..." " If I'm as powerful as you say, what's to stop me from pointing this at you?" "And then him?" "No!" "Watch it, Cole." " Philip." " Dad?" " Is something wrong?" " Oh no, son." "Your mother and I are just taking care of a few things inside." "Come on in." "It's getting late." "Honey, Philip's back." "Dad, what's going on here?" "Where's Katherine?" "Son, there are some things we need to discuss with you." "We know what's going on with you and Katherine." " What?" " Your mother and I, we... you know, actually she should be in here for this." " Honey?" " I don't understand." "You guys are gonna have to come in here." "I can't seem to figure this out." "All right, then." "Let's go talk to her." "I might need you to help me over here." " What?" " I'm having the worst luck." "What's wrong with you?" "Calm down, Phil." "You've hurt your mother's feelings enough lately." "You're different ever since she came around." "We understand." "We know what happened and why you've been so distant." "What?" "We wanted to help you with your problem, honey, figure it out together like the old days." "I just can't seem to find the baby." "Oh my God, she's not pregnant." "We've never even slept together." "It's okay, son." "You can tell us the truth." "We love you." "We really do love you, Philip." "It's for the best." "Maybe you should look higher up, honey." "Philip, you get back here." "It's okay." "Give him time." "He's just not himself." "Now... now, come here and help me." "Now grab hold of that and pull." "I love you." "I love you too." " Ready?" " Yeah." "This happened already." "Cadence." "She's here all right." "But that's not her." "That's just who and where she wants to be." "Look over here." "The conduits, amplifiers... whatever." "None of this is real." "It seems real enough to me." "Wait." "Something's happening." "Yeah, she's pushing." "And he might be too." "And then the amplifiers are helping." " Where'd they go?" " They're already here." "We just have to catch up to them." "You see?" "Cadence." "You can't." " Did this already happen?" " Yeah." "They must be projecting shared memories." "It has to be some form of mental shock from the strain." "You know this will never work." "So how long have you known the truth?" " Who's that?" " That is her dad." "Roger saw you and that half-breed out at the movies last month." "I made the rest on my own." "We didn't really get along." "You know there's nothing you can do about this, Dad." "All I really can do at this point, honey, is to try to talk some sense into you." " Your condition..." " It's not about my condition." "That's just an easy excuse for you." " Please." " I can't do this right now." "Honey, you need to listen to me." "No!" "What?" "Neil Holloway, please pick up the nearest white courtesy phone." "Neil Holloway, please pick up a white courtesy phone." "Hmm, she seems to be giving off different patterns." "They're stronger, but less focused." "It's like gross motor skills versus fine motor skills." "I'm thinking she may be able to augment some of our more precision-based subjects." "We've got to get her back to the Facility for testing as soon as possible." "You don't want me to see her anymore." "I guess you knew I was gonna say that." "We've... we've done this before." "But this is the last time." "She cannot have any distractions." "These people are gonna help her." "Mark, if you really love her... if you really love her, you'll walk away now." "They are not gonna help her!" "Cole?" "Dr. Lance, please report to the ICU." "Dr. Lance to the ICU." "Cole should be okay." "But we did notice some abnormal brain activity that you might want to bring him back in for." " Could be the cause of his depression." " Just... you know what?" "How much is all this shit gonna cost me?" "We'll bill you." "Mommy?" "Do you know what your father would have done to me if you had killed yourself?" "The biggest mistake I ever made was not leaving you with him." "Listen to me." "Next time, you do it right." "You probably shouldn't be doing that." "I know." "I can't help it." "Yeah yeah, I kind of understand." " You do?" " Yeah." "Look, I'll tell you what... you can come over to my place anytime you want." "We can hang out, talk, play games, just have fun..." "the two of us." "How about that?" "Aah!" "You knew I was vulnerable." "You piece of shit." "Sor... sorry." "L..." "There'll never be enough sorries." "Do it, baby." "Kill him." "Holy shit." "And then we can fuck." "I'll still be warm for at least another half-hour." "I may even let you put it in my new hole." "Mm." "Cole, is... is that you or him doing that?" "To tell you the truth, I don't know." "It's Cole." "Help me!" "Help!" "What's your ETA?" "Things are getting extremely crazy around here." "Affirmative!" "They've evacuated all the subjects, and from what I can tell the receivers are still active as well." "The effect radius covers the entire neighborhood." "10-4." "I'll meet you at the rendezvous point." "Cadence, is that you?" "Yes... and no." "It's a long story." "No!" "Actually that's what has to happen, Mark." "We can't think ourselves out of existence." "Who do you think made you bring that?" "We're like an antenna and I'm at the top of the tower." "You can do it if you prefer... kill us, I mean." "How many... what did she call them?" "Pushers." "They push reality." "How many pushers are there throughout the neighborhood?" "About 50, all with varying degrees of mental instability." "I guess the most volatile minds give the most interesting results." "Especially if you're thinking in terms of weaponry." "What has to happen?" "Once we're... turned off, the effects will become more localized and more easily contained." "What about Strack and everyone else at the Facility?" "They're watching and recording from a base station not far from here." "Never get in the cage with the animals." "Now what?" "Cole, I can fully activate you and take you to the next level so you can put a stop to this." "I can alter your brain to put you further along." "I don't know what that kind of leap might do to you." "It took them over a year to do it to me." "It can't get any worse." "There." "Good luck." "Mark, it's time." "I'm staying with her." "Pull the pin and throw it in when you leave." "Mark, are you sure?" "Yeah." "I think." "Yeah." "I really want to." "We need to go!" "Cole." "I really am so sorry." "I know." " What the...?" " She was right... it's much easier now." "Cole?" " Are you okay?" " Not really, no." "We need to get to the front of the community." " That's the rendezvous point." " Everyone's been switched off." "The effect should dissipate without the thought battery or whatever that was." "We just need to stay alert, steer clear of people." "Right." "Come on, let's go." "We just lost most of the sub-basement level." "It's negligible." "The effects will begin to taper off, but they'll last a good half-hour." "The video we're receiving is exactly in line with the dummy story." "Oh, we did an excellent job of saturating the media." "These readings are off the charts." "I still can't believe what we found in Dr. Gray's file." "Oh, I know." "Speaking of which, where's our consultant on that?" "I'm right here." "Ah, Miss Gray." "Stay close by." "We may need you to catalyze a response." "Henry, prepare procedures for containment." "Affirmative." "Wait a minute." "Have you seen..." "did you see Julie or Jesse?" "I think they got pulled through the wall." "No, they're here." "I'll go see if they're okay." "You guys just stay here." "Don't take too long." "We need to move." "Jules?" "Jess?" "Julie?" "Jess?" "What?" "Can't a brother and sister take a bath together?" "Oh my God." "You know we've always been close." "Very close." "You could never stand it, could you?" "'Cause we had everything that you didn't." "You're doing this and you don't even know it." "You can't just shut off your subconscious, Cole." "No." "Don't you see?" "This is why they chose you." "This is your idea of love." "Aah!" "Hey, John, maybe you should just knock me out." "John, look out!" "Enjoy the lake of fire, Sodomite." "Aah!" "Come on, we have to go." "Now what?" " I think the effect's wearing off." " Yeah?" "But what about the people in control?" "I haven't forgotten them." "I think he's made our location." "Send her in." "Cole." "You've got to stop." "Now you want to show concern?" "It's about 20 years too late for that." "Look, I was trying to talk to you in the bar, but you wouldn't talk to me." "I was going to tell you everything that's going on here." "Cole, she's lying." "Am I really, Lisa?" "Why don't you ask her involvement in this?" "What do you think it would take for her to get back on top after Marky boy fucked her over?" " Lisa?" " Think about this, Cole." "She's been lying to you your entire life." "She's working for them." "This is just another way to pull your strings." "Cole." "I am sorry for how things were when you were growing up." "I really am." "I mean I was young." "I was stupid." "I didn't know how to make decisions." "You know none of that is a good excuse, right?" "I do." "But I swear to you it's all gonna be better now." "I promise." "Come to me." "Cole, don't do it." "Cole." "Perfect." "They always want the same thing." "Prepare to move in and wrap this one up, gentlemen." "I love you." "Aah!" " Was that supposed to happen?" " No, you idiot!" "Initiate the neutralizer pulse!" "I had no idea." "All men, prepare for entry into the hot zone." "Stanton, are you okay?" "Yeah." "John didn't make it though." "So you were working for them." "She was working with us to ensure your safety, Dr. Gray." "We'd like to keep you alive and well and offer you a position with the Bureau." "As what?" "A mental assassin?" "You're missing the bigger picture." " You can harness this." " Do you understand, Dr. Gray?" "This goes beyond basic telekinesis." "Make sure you get core samples." "Can you imagine walking into a battlefield and..." "I don't know, turning the weapons to musical instruments?" "Or going to a drought-ridden village and bringing water to the surface?" "This is what we're talking about." "Doesn't that kind of make me a god?" "Arguably, by standard definitions, yes." "I don't wanna be a god." "What do you want then?" "When questioned about the rampant vegetation growth surrounding the human remains, university botanists seemed baffled, only going on record to say that the plants appear to be a never-before-seen invasive species." "Further scientific study is expected to resume once the authorities have completed their investigation." "And in breaking news tragedy struck the enclave community just north of Cooperman's Creek last night." "Isn't that your home town?" "Yeah." "It's a good thing you didn't take that job." " The cause is yet to be determined." " I know." "Local, state and, we are told, federal authorities are working together to prepare a full official statement for release later today." " Sources also tell..." " What time do we need to leave?" "...a terrorist attack has yet to be ruled out." " Like an hour." " I'll go get ready." " Some viewers may remember the area as the former 11th ward district that was razed to the ground by a cataclysmic fire several years ago." "It was the worst disaster the state has ever seen, possibly until now." "We go now to a field report from our sister station Channel 17 and their correspondent Amanda Saxon who has further details." "Sources say that the relative proximity and walkable nature of the neighborhood increased the damage tenfold." "The handful of survivors remember nothing about the tragedy." "Authorities speculate that an explosion at the Facility sparked a chain reaction that ignited gas mains beneath the streets." "Among the 100 still missing are FBI Agent Wayne Park," "FBI liaison Lisa Stanton, Officer Mark Kincaid and Channel 17's own Julie and Jesse Dylan." "This is Amanda Saxon re..."
