- Come on.
Everyone has aspirations,

mindset of failure it's not
serving you well.
One must set a goal and
proceed with...
with what?
- Persistence
persistence persis
- Exactly!
Patrick, you can't expect
society to take responsibility
for you,
you have to do it yourself
[Host's voice sounds distant]
- Do you understand that?
- Yeah, sure,
whatever you say.
- All right, well I hope we find
you in a better mood next

All right, who else wants

[Female moaning sounds]
[Door unlocks]

I know I said this a million
time but this place is filthy.
What the fuck Patrick, at
least open a window.
[sighs]
Wait, is this all you have
left from when I got your
groceries?
- Yeah, that was like two
months ago.
- Right... What would you do
without me?
So I was going to crash
here tonight
But Eagle Eye is picking me up
in like 20 minutes.
- Eagle who?
- I told you I'm going to
Burning Man, Right?
I so need this.
I feel like I need to
decompress this work drama.
- Right.
- Oh, by the way, I'm going to
need to borrow some money.
We're all chipping in for the

[Breathing in panic]
- Patrick, you should be proud
of yourself.
- Proud?
- You've summoned the courage
to leave your apartment.
That's great progress.
- Oh, yeah, I feel great.
Confident.
Fuck off
- Patrick. You're...
You're looking for easy
solutions and I'm
afraid there are none.
You have to own up to your
actions and learn from them.
Now, I can't help you unless-
- Can't help me?
What do you mean
can't help me?!
- Patrick? Listen-
- You call that confidence?
You call that courage?
Having a panic attack in the
middle of the street and
crying like a pathetic loser?
That's progress to you?
- Patrick you
need to calm down.
- I've been in this bullshit
group for three months now.
I'm listening to your
bullshit babble.
I'm taking your bullshit pills
and where did it get me?
The same place I started.
I mean, look at the sorry
ass group.
Bunch of losers, all of you!
- Patrick!
- No, I'm done with this shit!

Can I help you?
- Wow
that was quite the rage quit
you pulled up there, man.
[Laughing]
You know what?
It's about time someone stuck
it to that righteous fart bag.
Hi.
I'm Alex.
[Laughing]
I know this is silly me trying
to shake your hand like this but
I guess I'm old fashioned
that way.
I'd help you get
up if I could.
Wow Patrick, it's a nice place
you got here.
Hey, I like your
taste in games.
- Can I help you
with something?
- Is that King Nuclear
collector's edition?
98% completion rate?
Hats off to you, my friend.
Wow.
You must have the reflexes of
a cat and the speed of a
mongoose.
- Thanks
[Laughing]
- Look I don't want to take
too much of your time.
I know you're probably a
little bit freaked out by
just me being here.
Patrick,
you're 100 percent right.
This umm...
This support group
it totally sucks ass.
I mean, what?
[Laughing]
They tell you
"we're here for you"
and then they make you feel
guilty like it's your fault
when you fail.
- Yeah.
They can really twist the
knife.
- Yeah. Yeah.
I mean, you don't need to
be lectured.
Just need some guidance.
- So why do you go to all
these meetings?
- Let me ask you something...
You umm...
You play a lot of
video games, right?
How come it's so easy for you
to fight aliens and monsters
in a photo realistic
environment,
yet completely unbearable to
talk to a real person
Or
to even walk a few miles from
your house?
- Yeah, but there's a
difference between playing
video games and real life.
- Hmmm...
Must there be a difference?
Ok, all right, just
hear me out.
Patrick,
what if I told you
you could get rid
of your anxieties.
Get rid of all
your inhibitions,
your procrastinations,
your indecisions...
what if I told you that
right now,
you could walk out
that door freely.
Talk to people.
With confidence.
Be successful. Be popular.
And best of all,
with no drugs.
You'd want that, right?
- Yeah, sure.
- Hmm...
Good.
[Key dangles]
Take it.
- What is that?
- Refresh.
Use that key it will take
you there.
- Refresh?
- Refresh.
- What's refresh?
- You asked me why I
come to these groups.
Patrick, that's why.
I'm here to show
people like you
people who are about
to give up,
that there's a way out.
This app is like hitting
the refresh button.
It's completely free and
let me tell you,
it's life changing.
- I'm sorry, I don't Know...
No Offense to you, but I'm
really not into all these
health apps.
[Laughing]
- Trust me. Trust me.
It's not a health app.
But, you know what?
it's fine, I don't wanna
push you into anything
that you don't want to do.
So I guess I will see you
at the next group
Ah?
and let me know
how far you get
in King Nuclear.

- Oh thank God
Patrick, you OK?
You almost gave me a heart
attack with that message.
- Sorry I
- What the hell happened?
something about pills?
Wait a minute Patrick.
Do you think I want you to
touch me right now?
I'm talking with my
little brother.
Take your fucking
hands off me!
Sorry, Pat, you were saying.
- My pills. I couldn't find
any and I kind of had a panic
attack
- Couldn't find any?
Wait, but you have
a ton of pills.
- The ones I needed
weren't there.
- Jesus Christ I should
have known.
So what did you do?
- Well, I went outside looking
for a pharmacy.
- Outside?!
- Things got a little out of
hand, but I'm OK now.
- You know you can't.
I swear it's one crisis
after another.
I'm coming back.
- No, no need.
- What are you doing?
[mumbling in background]
Patrick, wait a minute.
- We're not stopping at Reno,
we're heading straight back.
- No, I'm fine.
Sorry about the message.
You should continue your trip.
[Angela sighs]
- But what about your pills?
- I've got it
covered. I'm fine.
Really.
- Are you sure?
- Yes, I'm sure.
- Ok.
Oh my God Patrick, remind me
to tell you about the most
amazing
fortune teller I met
at the burn.
she's been going there since
the 1990s
and she's like this guru that
helps you find your inner
child.
Never mind I'll
tell you later.
- Ok
- Bye, hugs and kisses.
If you'll touch me again when
I'm on the phone I swear to
god

Cold feet... be able to talk

- Hi, welcome.
How are you today?
- Hi, how are you?
I mean, I'm great...
- Great. Are you here for
a haircut?
- Yes, and a beard trim...
apparently.
- Sure. Do you have
an appointment?
- No, I was trying to
be spontaneous.
- Spontaneous...
I like that.
Well let's get you started.
I'm Jane by the way.
- Sure. Thanks Jane.
[Barber humming]
- Oh, who did this to you?
This is just not right.
[Sigh]
Alright...
We have a lot of work to do.
Ah...
Let me show you some styles.
- Oh, that...
This one looks good.
Yeah, let's go
with that one.
- Let's get started then.
- You know, I'm still saving
up for a stage two upgrade.
You know...
Forged pistons...
catback exhaust...
- Bigger turbo
- Yeah. You know, your cars.
-So what else do
you do for fun?
- Uh. I'm actually embarrassed
to say.
- How about I'll
try and guess?
- Ok
- I'm going to ask you
three questions
and I bet I can
guess what it is
- You're on
- Ok, is it something you
do at home?
- Yes...
- Is it some kind of arts
and crafts type thing?
- Yes
- Does it involve characters
or figures?
- Oh, wow. Yes.
- Ok, so it's probably
something collectible
that involves delicate
handiwork and precision...
Is it scale models?
- What?
How did you know that?
- I have my ways.
[Laughing]
- You are something
else Patrick.
Damn.
Uh ah...
And...
Done.
- It looks terrific.
- My pleasure.
Let me just take this off
and you'll be set.

This is a great deal. You

else.
Guaranteed.
I'm sure we can work
something out.

- Is it possible that you've
already met your true love
but didn't even know it?
According to two researchers
from Cambridge Analytics,
87% of long lasting
relationships
are high school sweethearts.
Meaning there's a good chance
that your true love
might be hiding somewhere
inside your old yearbook -

Wow Patrick.
- You know, there's a new
coat rack right there, right?
- Well, I see there's a lot of
new things around here.
- Yeah, I tidied up the place
a bit.
- A bit?
[Laughing]
Well, it looks great!
.. And so do you!
- Thanks.
Hey, what's with all this?
- Forget that. What's with
all of this?
- What?
- The house...
The hair, the clothes, the
car, you being outside?!
You realize I almost lost my
shit when I came in and you
weren't here.
And why don't you
answer my calls?
- Yeah, I guess I just felt
cooped up.
Felt like I needed
some fresh air...
Only saw your call after
I finished running.
- What is the matter
with you?!
Since when do you even
go out for a run?
[Sigh]
I come back
you're this totally
different person.
I ask you what's going on
and you're bullshitting me?
Oh my god,
are you in trouble?
Why would I be in trouble?
[Sigh]
Patrick, I know you.
You seem all glowing
and that's great,
but we both know how you
can get absorbed into things.
[Sigh]
Where do you even come up with
the money for all this shit?
Come on!
What is it?
What did you get yourself
into this time?
Huh?
A new pyramid scheme?
Online gambling?
A new drug?
- Are you serious?
- What's refresh?
- None of your business
- Excuse me?
- I said it's none
of your business!
- Patrick...
[Sigh]
Look, I'm a little bit
overwhelmed right now,
but it's only because
I worry about you, Ok?
I mean...
All this new stuff,
I know you can't afford it
with what you make.
- Oh. you worried that your
piggy bank of a brother
is going empty?
- What?
- Let's face it Angela, what
you're really worried about
is not being able to keep
borrowing money from me.
- How dare you?
I do your shopping,
I cook for you,
I run your fucking errands!
Have you ever stopped to think
how your messed up life
is affecting me?
I can't even take one week off
without you having a crisis.
You're talking about some
petty cash I owe you?
- Angela, dear.
You did some shopping
for me last May.
Frozen pizza doesn't
count as cooking
and you left for Burning Man
four weeks ago,
Not one, four weeks ago.
And remind me, who ends up
paying for your trips?
So let's not pretend it's you
taking care of me.
And it's fine.
I'm taking care of myself.
- You're such an
ungrateful asshole.
You think you can
take care of yourself?
Fine.
- Angela, come on.
Look, I don't... I don't
want you leaving like this.
[Sigh]
Look, I'm sorry.
I appreciate everything
you did for me.
Really, really, I do.
But now...
After years of struggles,
I finally feel normal again.
You don't have to worry
about me anymore.
Isn't that what you've
always wanted?
- This isn't you, Patrick.
- You're wrong.
For seven years,
ever since mom and dad died,
I have not been myself...
Until now.
[Door slams]

[Alarm clock]

She likes cats...
Really in the

[Wow]
- Patrick?
- Emily!
Hi.
- Hi to you.
- You look well.
[Laughing]
- Just well?
- Incredible, I mean...
Incredible.
- I'm just messing with you.
[Laughing]
Isn't it beautiful?
- Out of this world.
- That reminds me, Come on.
There's no line,
awesome!
Ok,
look at the sky.
What do you see?
- I don't know...
Stars?
And if you were to look
at them for a while,
you'd start to get a sense
of movement, Right?
[Soft humming]
- Oh cool, like a time lapse.
Now, imagine that we could see
two billion years in the future.
[Stars humming]
That's when you realize
how rapidly the universe
is expanding.
[Stars stop humming]
In two billion years,
If someone were to look up,
all they'd see
would be this.
All the other stars would be
so far away we wouldn't even
know they exist.
We'd think we were all alone
in the universe.
abandoned...
[Laughing]
- Thanks for showing me this
cool, not at all depressing
art installation.
[Laughing]
- Shut up! It gets better,
I promise.
Of course, if we can see
into the future,
we can go backwards.
Imagine we could see
the moment of creation itself.
[Starts humming intensely]
- Why is it so dark?
- In the beginning
it's always dark.
- What is that?
- Everything.
All Condensed into this
single grain of matter.
[Laughing]
It's beautiful, isn't it?
- Amazing.
[Laughing]
- I told you you'd like it.
Come on.
So he finally admits it,
not that he had much choice
after I caught him red handed.
- So what did you do?
- What did I do?
I told him to go fuck himself
and I moved out.
Can't believe I was 3 years
with that cheating asshole.
- He's an idiot.
I'm sorry, I can't imagine
anyone doing something
like that to you.
- That's really sweet Pat.
Anyway, I...
found my own place, finished
my degree and decided that
from now on I will fill my
world only with things that I
love.
- Is that why you became
an art conservator?
Hell, yeah.
[Laughing]
- You're lucky you know.
Not a lot of people know what
they want to do with their
lives
Most of us just...
go with the flow.
[Putting glass down]
- What about you?
- What do you mean?
- I mean, I've been babbling
about myself all night.
What about you? What have you
been up to since high school?
- Uh, I don't know.
Umm...
Let's see...
After high school, I took some
time off to figure out what I
wanted to do with my life.
Then something...
...terrible happened.
That had a huge impact on me.
- What?
- What happened?
- Forget it. It's depressing
you don't want to hear about
this.
- Come on Patrick!
I just told you about how my
ex-boyfriend for 3 years
cheated on me behind my back.
shields down.
- 2 years after
our graduation,
my parents died
in a car accident.
I was in the back seat.
- Oh, my god.
I'm so sorry.
I woke up 9 days
after the funeral...
I Was 2 months in
the hospital with
5 broken ribs, punctured lung,
collapsed kidney...
[Sigh]
Then spent the next 7 months
at home recovering.
- That must have
been devastating.
How do you recover from
something like that?
- Thing is, after almost
a year recovering,
I noticed something
changed in me. I-
Suddenly the thought of going
outside made my
heart race and my palms sweat.
I started having panic attacks
every time I went outside.
It kept getting
worse and worse,
till eventually I stopped
going outside.
- You mean like agoraphobia?
- Yeah,
exactly.
- Well, you got through it
eventually, right?
I mean, just look at you now.
- Did you know...
I had the biggest crush
on you in high school?
[Laughing]
- Really?
I Had no idea.
- Bullshit!
You knew damn well!
I call bullshit.
[Laughing]
- Ok
Ok, I might have
suspected a little.
- So how come you never
said anything?
- I don't know...
maybe I was waiting for
you to say something.
Say...
What color are your eyes?
- Blue.
[Laughing]
- Really?
You can barley tell
with the contacts.
- Why do you ask?
- I want to see the real you.
- What do you mean?
- I mean...
[Laughing]
I want to see
the true Patrick.
- I... I think
they're trying to signal to us
that they want to close up
the place.
- For the record,
this is me saying something.
- I umm...
- Still too scared to
make a move?
That's too bad.
You're right,
it's getting late.
- Emily wait!
These lenses... they're like a
guardian shield
to me, you know?
I can't just take them
out like that.
- I did.
- That's why you're way
cooler than me.
- Good night Patrick
- Do I get to see you again?
- You want a second chance?
- Yeah, very much so.
- Well...
I am going to the
reunion tomorrow.
Pick me up at 7?
- You got it.

[Groaning]
wait-
Where is Refresh?
[Breathing heavily]
Oh...
Oh no. Oh god, no.
[Breathing heavily]
You have reported this
app as malicious,
it is now been blocked and
removed from your Sight?
What?!
[Heart beat rising]
Angela!
What the fuck?
[Breathing]
I'll kill her.
[Ring tone]
- Hello?
- Are you insane?
- What?
- You fucking reported it?!
- Are you OK Patrick?
I can hardly understand you.
[Heart beat rising]
Hello?
- You blocked me out!
- Are you talking
about Refresh?
Thank god I did.
- Thank god?!
Angela, do you realize
what you've done?
- Do you realize what
you have done?
[Pills rattling]
Hello? Are you there?
- What I have done?
You just ruined my life
did you know that?
- Wrong! I just
saved your life.
Did You know your account was
in 20,000 credits overdraft?
- You logged into my
bank account?!
- I was worried about you!
and I knew there was
something fishy about that
app.
Do you know how much money you
were spending through Refresh?
- Who cares! It's my money and
I can do whatever the fuck I
want with it!
- If I wouldn't have
stopped you now,
you would have found yourself
living on the streets
in a month!
- Stop trying to control my
life you manipulative bitch!
- Patrick!
[Patrick hangs up]
[Breathing heavily]
[Incoming call]
Oh shit...
Oh shit!
[Breathing heavily]
Alex!
- My dad was like, oh, you're
so negative, you're not even
trying
I'm like, you don't understand
how it feels-
- Where's Alex?
- Patrick?
- Where is he? I need
to talk with him.
- Wow wow, slow down.
What happened to you?
- Fuck that!
How can I contact Alex?
- Excuse me?
- Alex, Tall, dark,
charismatic has fucking good
taste in suits.
- Look, I don't know
what this is Patrick,
but you cannot barge
in here like this.
- Why is it always so hard to
get a fucking straight answer
from you?!
- That's it!
I want you out of here now!
- Oh, gladly.
Just give me his contact info
and I'll be on my way.
- Who the hell are
you talking about?
There's no one in
the group named Alex.
You know that.
Of course there is,
he used to sit right there.
[Sigh]
- Look... Patrick,
I don't know where you've been
in the last month,
but you're not
making any sense.
So why don't we talk
about it in private
after the session's over.
Ok?
- Wait...
The slick talker with the
fancy power suit?
- Yeah, you know him?
- Well... Yeah.
Well, he presented himself as
James when he approached me,
but yeah, I know "him".
- Wait
What do you mean, "him"?
[Laughing]
- He's a sales bot.
You know that, right?
[Sigh]
- Sales bot?
[Breathing heavily]
- Yeah, he spammed me
a couple of times.
Tried selling some sort of a
makeover app or some shit.
But I got rid of him once
I upgrade my firewall.
- Wow, you're telling me
there's a scam bot running
inside of my group?
How come I didn't
know about this?
[Sign]
It's not a scam.
- They're probably programmed
so that you won't be able
to see them.
But like I said,
if you're firewall's up to
date, you shouldn't have any
problem.
[Sigh]
- Patrick have you been
talking to this scam bot?
- It's not a scam!
- Oh Patrick, tell me you
haven't bought anything
from them.
- You don't understand.
It's not a scam.
It's the best thing that's
ever happened to me.
- Really?
I mean, look at you.
These people, they prey
on the weak.
It's not your fault.
- Fuck You!

- Um. Yeah, I know, I know.
I was just about to
head your way.
- Now?
- Yeah, yeah.
I-I just hit a small snag.
- You sound weird, Patrick.
Are you trying to bail
on me or something?
- No, no, no. I just-
- You know what? Never mind.
I called to tell you I'm
already halfway there.
You do whatever
you want to do.
- No, hey,
I'll be there.
I promise.
[Breathing]
I'm leaving now.
- Really?
- Yes, really.

I won't.

Patrick?

- Oh my God, Patrick,
what happened?
- Is that puke on your shirt?
- Can we go somewhere to talk?
- Patrick, you need to go to
the hospital, get this sewn
up.
[Sigh]
You might have a concussion.
- Forget about that now.
[Sigh]
I...
I really need to talk to
you about yesterday.
- Oh dude, that's gross.
- Oh! I'm so sorry.
I'm so, so sorry.
I...I think I have a tissue
here somewhere.
- Hey, it's OK.
Ok?
Look,
I'm going to go get this
cleaned up and then we're
going to go to the hospital
together, OK?
- Ok.
- Ok.
Zack, I'm so sorry about this,
I'll call you okay?
- Ok.
- I just want you to know
I'm not afraid anymore.
- What?
- Here.
[Zack laughing]
- Dude, what the fuck man?
[Laughing]
Wait...
Patrick?
Oh my god,
I remember you now.
Weren't you in that
nerdy computer club?
Umm...
Look man...
That cut looks pretty deep,
I don't think you should wait
around for her,
you know?
- What?
- How about I call you a cab?
- No, I'm not getting up
until she comes back.
- Ok, umm...
[Laughing]
You're starting to freak
everyone out
and umm...
Worse than that,
you're ruining it for someone
who might actually have a
chance with her. So...
[Groaning]
[Laughing]
Ok seriously?
[Laughing]
Alright, come one.
- Get off me!
- Dude!
What the hell?
- She'll... She'll see
that I'm strong.
That I'm not afraid
to make a move.
- Wait, do you think that
she actually likes you?
Dude... you were
bothering her.
She's being nice because
she pities you.
- Shut up.
- No, no.
You saw the way that
she reacted to you.
She thinks you're a freak.
I mean, look at you.
You are a freak.
- Shut up!
[Crowd gasping]
- Wow!
[Roaring]
[Groaning]
- Come on!
[Groaning]

hands off me!
Let go of me!

Do you know where
you are, Patrick?
- I, uh...
In... In jail?
- No.
Not jail, not yet anyway.
You're at the
Parabelle Psychiatric
Rehabilitation Center.
Do you know why you're here?
- I... uh...
- You've been arrested for DUI
and assault with a deadly weapon
That guy
you caved his skull in,
Zach, I believe
his name was...
Is Still in a coma.
That could mean 3 years
in prison for you.
[Breathing]
But I don't see
any past felonies.
Up until now your record
was completely clean.
Your psychological profile
doesn't show any
violent tendencies.
You might just be a good
candidate for this new
program.
- New program?
- You see Patrick,
prison is a hostile
environment.
I've seen many young
men like you and
quite frankly, your kind
don't do very well in prison.
In fact, many don't
make it out at all.
This new program is...
unconventional, but it
might just make your
time away from society more...
productive... bearable...
even transformative.
It could cut down on your
sentence significantly...
Depends on how well
you play along.
- What I have to do?
- Just sign these,
[Paper movement]
and we'll take care
of the rest.

This is the palace.
- Yeah.
[Sigh]
You look good.
[Laughing]
- Thanks.
[Sigh]
- Listen, I'm...
I'm sorry it took me so
long to come and visit,
it's just that...
Eagle eye had some...
issues with the law last month
and I've been strapped for cash
and I kind of...
was afraid-
- It's ok Angela
- No.
When you called me...
and what happened after,
I keep thinking,
if only I had-
- It's OK Angela.
I'm not mad at you.
To be honest, I'm
feeling very well.
- You are?
They treating you ok?
- Yes.
In fact, I even get to
keep my Sight.
I have a nice routine here.
Plenty to do.
It gets a little
repetitive but
they have a way of keeping
things interesting.
[Video game sounds]
After all this time,
keeping myself locked away
in my apartment,
I have to tell you that
being locked away here feels
almost strangely liberating.
[Video game sounds]
The agoraphobia is gone.
I felt so alone all this time.
Suddenly I feel like
I'm part of something.
Everyone here is just like me.
There's no social media,
no one to impress,
no paralyzing
decisions, just...
living in the moment.
I do my workouts,
I eat well,
I follow instructions.
Obsessing about the past was
destructive for me,
for everyone.
[Panting]
It's time for me to look to
the future, I think.
I feel like...
I'm Finally on my way there.
- Damn aliens
shot down my ship.
Now I'm pissed off.

to, like
practice talking
to real people.
- Don't despair Patrick
you're making a real progress.
You just have to stick to
it remember?
Persistence, persistence,
persistence.
That's how progress is made,
in tiny little steps my
friends.
So Tell me Patrick, where do
you see yourself once you've
overcome the agoraphobia?
- I don't know.
- Come on.
Everyone has aspirations,
dreams wants, right?
What do you want?
- I don't know.
- Patrick,
we've talked about this, this
mindset of failure it's not
serving you well.
One must set a goal and
proceed with...
with what?
- Persistence
persistence persis
- Exactly!
Patrick, you can't expect
society to take responsibility
for you,
you have to do it yourself
[Host's voice sounds distant]
- Do you understand that?
- Yeah, sure,
whatever you say.
- All right, well I hope we find
you in a better mood next
week, Patrick, huh?
All right, who else wants
to share?
[Female moaning sounds]

- Good morning
- Hey... Hi Angela
- Oh my god!
I know I said this a million
time but this place is filthy.
What the fuck Patrick, at
least open a window.
[sighs]
Wait, is this all you have
left from when I got your
groceries?
- Yeah, that was like two
months ago.
- Right... What would you do
without me?
So I was going to crash
here tonight
But Eagle Eye is picking me up
in like 20 minutes.
- Eagle who?
- I told you I'm going to
Burning Man, Right?
I so need this.
I feel like I need to
decompress this work drama.
- Right.
- Oh, by the way, I'm going to
need to borrow some money.
We're all chipping in for the
RV and gas and stuff.
- Sure, I mean

You still have access to my

- Yep.

to leave your apartment.
That's great progress.
- Oh, yeah, I feel great.
Confident.
Fuck off
- Patrick. You're...
You're looking for easy
solutions and I'm
afraid there are none.
You have to own up to your
actions and learn from them.
Now, I can't help you unless-
- Can't help me?
What do you mean
can't help me?!
- Patrick? Listen-
- You call that confidence?
You call that courage?
Having a panic attack in the
middle of the street and
crying like a pathetic loser?
That's progress to you?
- Patrick you
need to calm down.
- I've been in this bullshit
group for three months now.
I'm listening to your
bullshit babble.
I'm taking your bullshit pills
and where did it get me?
The same place I started.
I mean, look at the sorry
ass group.
Bunch of losers, all of you!

Hi.
I'm Alex.
[Laughing]
I know this is silly me trying
to shake your hand like this but
I guess I'm old fashioned
that way.
I'd help you get
up if I could.
Wow Patrick, it's a nice place
you got here.
Hey, I like your
taste in games.
- Can I help you
with something?
- Is that King Nuclear
collector's edition?
98% completion rate?
Hats off to you, my friend.
Wow.
You must have the reflexes of
a cat and the speed of a
mongoose.
- Thanks
[Laughing]
- Look I don't want to take
too much of your time.
I know you're probably a
little bit freaked out by
just me being here.
Patrick,
you're 100 percent right.
This umm...
This support group
it totally sucks ass.
I mean, what?
[Laughing]
They tell you
"we're here for you"
and then they make you feel
guilty like it's your fault
when you fail.
- Yeah.
They can really twist the
knife.
- Yeah. Yeah.
I mean, you don't need to
be lectured.
Just need some guidance.
- So why do you go to all
these meetings?
- Let me ask you something...
You umm...
You play a lot of
video games, right?
How come it's so easy for you
to fight aliens and monsters
in a photo realistic
environment,
yet completely unbearable to
talk to a real person
Or
to even walk a few miles from
your house?
- Yeah, but there's a
difference between playing
video games and real life.
- Hmmm...
Must there be a difference?
Ok, all right, just
hear me out.
Patrick,
what if I told you
you could get rid
of your anxieties.
Get rid of all
your inhibitions,
your procrastinations,
your indecisions...
what if I told you that
right now,
you could walk out
that door freely.
Talk to people.
With confidence.
Be successful. Be popular.
And best of all,
with no drugs.
You'd want that, right?
- Yeah, sure.
- Hmm...
Good.
[Key dangles]
Take it.
- What is that?
- Refresh.
Use that key it will take
you there.
- Refresh?
- Refresh.
- What's refresh?
- You asked me why I
come to these groups.
Patrick, that's why.
I'm here to show
people like you
people who are about
to give up,
that there's a way out.
This app is like hitting
the refresh button.
It's completely free and
let me tell you,
it's life changing.
- I'm sorry, I don't Know...
No Offense to you, but I'm
really not into all these
health apps.
[Laughing]
- Trust me. Trust me.
It's not a health app.
But, you know what?
it's fine, I don't wanna
push you into anything
that you don't want to do.
So I guess I will see you
at the next group
Ah?
and let me know
how far you get
in King Nuclear.

- What the hell happened?
something about pills?
Wait a minute Patrick.
Do you think I want you to
touch me right now?
I'm talking with my
little brother.
Take your fucking
hands off me!
Sorry, Pat, you were saying.
- My pills. I couldn't find
any and I kind of had a panic
attack
- Couldn't find any?
Wait, but you have
a ton of pills.
- The ones I needed
weren't there.
- Jesus Christ I should
have known.
So what did you do?
- Well, I went outside looking
for a pharmacy.
- Outside?!
- Things got a little out of
hand, but I'm OK now.
- You know you can't.
I swear it's one crisis
after another.
I'm coming back.
- No, no need.
- What are you doing?
[mumbling in background]
Patrick, wait a minute.
- We're not stopping at Reno,
we're heading straight back.
- No, I'm fine.
Sorry about the message.
You should continue your trip.

- But what about your pills?
- I've got it
covered. I'm fine.
Really.
- Are you sure?
- Yes, I'm sure.
- Ok.
Oh my God Patrick, remind me
to tell you about the most
amazing
fortune teller I met
at the burn.
she's been going there since
the 1990s
and she's like this guru that

guess what it is
- You're on

do at home?
- Yes...
- Is it some kind of arts
and crafts type thing?
- Yes
- Does it involve characters
or figures?
- Oh, wow. Yes.
- Ok, so it's probably
something collectible
that involves delicate
handiwork and precision...
Is it scale models?
- What?
How did you know that?
- I have my ways.
[Laughing]
- You are something
else Patrick.
Damn.
Uh ah...
And...
Done.

- Yeah, well, they don't make
them like this anymore.
This is a great deal. You
won't better price anywhere
else.
Guaranteed.
I'm sure we can work
something out.
[Tires screech]
[Laughing]
Yeah!
Woohoo!
[chewing]
[Sigh]
(Patrick)
Wow Patrick looks amazing
(Patrick)
I didn't know you're such a
talented artist.
[Laughing]
[Laughing]
(Patrick)
Ok
[Chewing]
[Humming]
Hmm...
[Purchase sound]
Use the subtle
art of suggestion
to make that special someone
see you in a different light
[Laughing]
Hmm...

- Is it possible that you've
already met your true love
but didn't even know it?
According to two researchers
from Cambridge Analytics,
87% of long lasting
relationships
are high school sweethearts.
Meaning there's a good chance
that your true love
might be hiding somewhere
inside your old yearbook -

showing now at the TAM.
- Patrick?
[Keys rustling]
- OK Shira I just got in.
Talk to you later,
hugs and kisses.
[Bag drops on floor]
Patrick?
Pat?
Frozen broccoli?
Pat?
Marathon Master?
[Panting]
[Panting]
Nice...
Yes.
[Virtual Crowd cheers]
[exhailing]
Wow
[Drones in the distance]
New message from Emily.
[Laughing]
[Notification alert]
[Laughing]
I have an extra ticket.
Do you want to go?
We can do some catching up.
Yes!
[exhailing]
[Keys rustling]
- Well, well, well...
[Door slams]
Oh my god!
Wow Patrick.
- You know, there's a new
coat rack right there, right?
- Well, I see there's a lot of
new things around here.
- Yeah, I tidied up the place
a bit.
- A bit?
[Laughing]
Well, it looks great!
.. And so do you!
- Thanks.
Hey, what's with all this?
- Forget that. What's with
all of this?
- What?
- The house...
The hair, the clothes, the
car, you being outside?!
You realize I almost lost my
shit when I came in and you
weren't here.
And why don't you
answer my calls?
- Yeah, I guess I just felt
cooped up.
Felt like I needed
some fresh air...
Only saw your call after
I finished running.
- What is the matter
with you?!
Since when do you even
go out for a run?
[Sigh]
I come back
you're this totally
different person.
I ask you what's going on
and you're bullshitting me?
Oh my god,
are you in trouble?
Why would I be in trouble?
[Sigh]
Patrick, I know you.
You seem all glowing
and that's great,
but we both know how you
can get absorbed into things.
[Sigh]
Where do you even come up with
the money for all this shit?
Come on!
What is it?
What did you get yourself
into this time?
Huh?
A new pyramid scheme?
Online gambling?
A new drug?
- Are you serious?
- What's refresh?
- None of your business
- Excuse me?
- I said it's none
of your business!
- Patrick...
[Sigh]
Look, I'm a little bit
overwhelmed right now,
but it's only because
I worry about you, Ok?
I mean...
All this new stuff,
I know you can't afford it
with what you make.
- Oh. you worried that your
piggy bank of a brother
is going empty?
- What?
- Let's face it Angela, what
you're really worried about
is not being able to keep
borrowing money from me.
- How dare you?
I do your shopping,
I cook for you,
I run your fucking errands!
Have you ever stopped to think
how your messed up life
is affecting me?
I can't even take one week off
without you having a crisis.
You're talking about some
petty cash I owe you?
- Angela, dear.
You did some shopping
for me last May.
Frozen pizza doesn't
count as cooking
and you left for Burning Man
four weeks ago,
Not one, four weeks ago.
And remind me, who ends up
paying for your trips?
So let's not pretend it's you
taking care of me.
And it's fine.
I'm taking care of myself.
- You're such an
ungrateful asshole.
You think you can
take care of yourself?
Fine.
- Angela, come on.
Look, I don't... I don't
want you leaving like this.
[Sigh]
Look, I'm sorry.
I appreciate everything
you did for me.
Really, really, I do.
But now...
After years of struggles,
I finally feel normal again.
You don't have to worry
about me anymore.
Isn't that what you've
always wanted?
- This isn't you, Patrick.
- You're wrong.
For seven years,
ever since mom and dad died,
I have not been myself...
Until now.
[Door slams]
[sigh]
[Alarm clock]
[sigh]
She likes cats...
Really in the
post reality art..
Has a master's degree
in art conservation.
[Pills rattling]
[Sigh]
You got this.
[Laughing]
[Wow]
- Patrick?
- Emily!
Hi.
- Hi to you.
- You look well.
[Laughing]
- Just well?
- Incredible, I mean...
Incredible.
- I'm just messing with you.
[Laughing]
Isn't it beautiful?
- Out of this world.
- That reminds me, Come on.
There's no line,
awesome!
Ok,
look at the sky.
What do you see?
- I don't know...
Stars?
And if you were to look
at them for a while,
you'd start to get a sense
of movement, Right?
[Soft humming]
- Oh cool, like a time lapse.
Now, imagine that we could see
two billion years in the future.
[Stars humming]
That's when you realize
how rapidly the universe
is expanding.
[Stars stop humming]
In two billion years,
If someone were to look up,
all they'd see
would be this.
All the other stars would be
so far away we wouldn't even
know they exist.
We'd think we were all alone
in the universe.
abandoned...
[Laughing]
- Thanks for showing me this
cool, not at all depressing
art installation.
[Laughing]
- Shut up! It gets better,
I promise.
Of course, if we can see
into the future,
we can go backwards.
Imagine we could see
the moment of creation itself.
[Starts humming intensely]
- Why is it so dark?
- In the beginning
it's always dark.
- What is that?
- Everything.
All Condensed into this
single grain of matter.
[Laughing]
It's beautiful, isn't it?
- Amazing.
[Laughing]
- I told you you'd like it.
Come on.
So he finally admits it,
not that he had much choice
after I caught him red handed.
- So what did you do?
- What did I do?
I told him to go fuck himself
and I moved out.
Can't believe I was 3 years
with that cheating asshole.
- He's an idiot.
I'm sorry, I can't imagine
anyone doing something
like that to you.
- That's really sweet Pat.
Anyway, I...
found my own place, finished
my degree and decided that
from now on I will fill my
world only with things that I
love.
- Is that why you became
an art conservator?
Hell, yeah.
[Laughing]
- You're lucky you know.
Not a lot of people know what
they want to do with their
lives
Most of us just...
go with the flow.
[Putting glass down]
- What about you?
- What do you mean?
- I mean, I've been babbling
about myself all night.
What about you? What have you
been up to since high school?
- Uh, I don't know.
Umm...
Let's see...
After high school, I took some
time off to figure out what I
wanted to do with my life.
Then something...
...terrible happened.
That had a huge impact on me.
- What?
- What happened?
- Forget it. It's depressing
you don't want to hear about
this.
- Come on Patrick!
I just told you about how my
ex-boyfriend for 3 years
cheated on me behind my back.
shields down.
- 2 years after
our graduation,
my parents died
in a car accident.
I was in the back seat.
- Oh, my god.
I'm so sorry.
I woke up 9 days
after the funeral...
I Was 2 months in
the hospital with
5 broken ribs, punctured lung,
collapsed kidney...
[Sigh]
Then spent the next 7 months
at home recovering.
- That must have
been devastating.
How do you recover from
something like that?
- Thing is, after almost
a year recovering,
I noticed something
changed in me. I-
Suddenly the thought of going
outside made my
heart race and my palms sweat.
I started having panic attacks
every time I went outside.
It kept getting
worse and worse,
till eventually I stopped
going outside.
- You mean like agoraphobia?
- Yeah,
exactly.
- Well, you got through it
eventually, right?
I mean, just look at you now.
- Did you know...
I had the biggest crush
on you in high school?
[Laughing]
- Really?
I Had no idea.
- Bullshit!
You knew damn well!
I call bullshit.
[Laughing]
- Ok
Ok, I might have
suspected a little.
- So how come you never
said anything?
- I don't know...
maybe I was waiting for
you to say something.
Say...
What color are your eyes?
- Blue.
[Laughing]
- Really?
You can barley tell
with the contacts.
- Why do you ask?
- I want to see the real you.
- What do you mean?
- I mean...
[Laughing]
I want to see
the true Patrick.
- I... I think
they're trying to signal to us
that they want to close up
the place.
- For the record,
this is me saying something.
- I umm...
- Still too scared to
make a move?
That's too bad.
You're right,
it's getting late.
- Emily wait!
These lenses... they're like a
guardian shield
to me, you know?
I can't just take them
out like that.
- I did.
- That's why you're way
cooler than me.
- Good night Patrick
- Do I get to see you again?
- You want a second chance?
- Yeah, very much so.
- Well...
I am going to the
reunion tomorrow.
Pick me up at 7?
- You got it.
[Panting]
(Emily)
Oh...
(Emily)
Mmm... Patrick
Oh Patrick
[Moan]
[Patrick moans]
[Sigh]
[Alarm clock]
[Sigh]
- Oh,
hi Emily.
Wow, you look amazing.
Oh, thanks.
It's a.. It's a new sports
jack. [Laughing]
Sorry about yesterday.
[Panting]
I guess I just wasn't
ready for that.
[Panting]
[Sigh]
But now I'm ready.
Here...
[Sigh]
Now you see the real me.
[Purchase sound]
[Humming]
Perfect.
[Glitch sound]
What the hell?
Oh my god!
What the fuck?!
[Thump]
[Groaning]
[Breathing heavily]
What the hell just happened?
[Turning the water on]
[Groaning]
wait-
Where is Refresh?
[Breathing heavily]
Oh...
Oh no. Oh god, no.
[Breathing heavily]
You have reported this
app as malicious,
it is now been blocked and
removed from your Sight?
What?!
[Heart beat rising]
Angela!
What the fuck?
[Breathing]
I'll kill her.
[Ring tone]
- Hello?
- Are you insane?
- What?
- You fucking reported it?!
- Are you OK Patrick?
I can hardly understand you.
[Heart beat rising]
Hello?
- You blocked me out!
- Are you talking
about Refresh?
Thank god I did.
- Thank god?!
Angela, do you realize
what you've done?
- Do you realize what
you have done?
[Pills rattling]
Hello? Are you there?
- What I have done?
You just ruined my life
did you know that?
- Wrong! I just
saved your life.
Did You know your account was
in 20,000 credits overdraft?
- You logged into my
bank account?!
- I was worried about you!
and I knew there was
something fishy about that
app.
Do you know how much money you
were spending through Refresh?
- Who cares! It's my money and
I can do whatever the fuck I
want with it!
- If I wouldn't have
stopped you now,
you would have found yourself
living on the streets
in a month!
- Stop trying to control my
life you manipulative bitch!
- Patrick!
[Patrick hangs up]
[Breathing heavily]
[Incoming call]
Oh shit...
Oh shit!
[Breathing heavily]
Alex!
- My dad was like, oh, you're
so negative, you're not even
trying
I'm like, you don't understand
how it feels-
- Where's Alex?
- Patrick?
- Where is he? I need
to talk with him.
- Wow wow, slow down.
What happened to you?
- Fuck that!
How can I contact Alex?
- Excuse me?
- Alex, Tall, dark,
charismatic has fucking good
taste in suits.
- Look, I don't know
what this is Patrick,
but you cannot barge
in here like this.
- Why is it always so hard to
get a fucking straight answer
from you?!
- That's it!
I want you out of here now!
- Oh, gladly.
Just give me his contact info
and I'll be on my way.
- Who the hell are
you talking about?
There's no one in
the group named Alex.
You know that.
Of course there is,
he used to sit right there.
[Sigh]
- Look... Patrick,
I don't know where you've been
in the last month,
but you're not
making any sense.
So why don't we talk
about it in private
after the session's over.
Ok?
- Wait...
The slick talker with the
fancy power suit?
- Yeah, you know him?
- Well... Yeah.
Well, he presented himself as
James when he approached me,
but yeah, I know "him".
- Wait
What do you mean, "him"?
[Laughing]
- He's a sales bot.
You know that, right?
[Sigh]
- Sales bot?
[Breathing heavily]
- Yeah, he spammed me
a couple of times.
Tried selling some sort of a
makeover app or some shit.
But I got rid of him once
I upgrade my firewall.
- Wow, you're telling me
there's a scam bot running
inside of my group?
How come I didn't
know about this?
[Sign]
It's not a scam.
- They're probably programmed
so that you won't be able
to see them.
But like I said,
if you're firewall's up to
date, you shouldn't have any
problem.
[Sigh]
- Patrick have you been
talking to this scam bot?
- It's not a scam!
- Oh Patrick, tell me you
haven't bought anything
from them.
- You don't understand.
It's not a scam.
It's the best thing that's
ever happened to me.
- Really?
I mean, look at you.
These people, they prey
on the weak.
It's not your fault.
- Fuck You!
[Heart beat racing]
[Incomig call]
[Pills rattling]
[Ringing continues]
[Catching breath]
[Answers call]
Hi.
- Hey, I've been trying to c
ll you, where are you?
- Um. Yeah, I know, I know.
I was just about to
head your way.
- Now?
- Yeah, yeah.
I-I just hit a small snag.
- You sound weird, Patrick.
Are you trying to bail
on me or something?
- No, no, no. I just-
- You know what? Never mind.
I called to tell you I'm
already halfway there.
You do whatever
you want to do.
- No, hey,
I'll be there.
I promise.
[Breathing]
I'm leaving now.
- Really?
- Yes, really.
- Just...
don't disappoint me, Ok?
I won't.
[Call ends]
[Door slams]
Hey, sorry I'm late, I...
[Cars honking]
[Pills rattling]
[Swallowing pills]
Hey Emily, wow!
You look good... Ah...
Great, great, great.
I mean great!
[Sigh]
I need to talk to you about...
about yesterday.
[Cars honking]
I want you to know
that I'm ready
for you to see the real me.
About yesterday... Yes
[Cars brakes and horns]
I know.
about yesterday...
I want you to know
that I'm already...
[Puking]
[Sigh]
[Club music]
[People chatting]
- Oh look.
- Hey!
[People chatting]
[People mumbling]
- Hey
- Emily!
Patrick?
- Wow!
- Watch out!
- There you are.
- Oh my God, Patrick,
what happened?
- Is that puke on your shirt?
- Can we go somewhere to talk?
- Patrick, you need to go to
the hospital, get this sewn
up.
[Sigh]
You might have a concussion.
- Forget about that now.
[Sigh]
I...
I really need to talk to
you about yesterday.
- Oh dude, that's gross.
- Oh! I'm so sorry.
I'm so, so sorry.
I...I think I have a tissue
here somewhere.
- Hey, it's OK.
Ok?
Look,
I'm going to go get this
cleaned up and then we're
going to go to the hospital
together, OK?
- Ok.
- Ok.
Zack, I'm so sorry about this,
I'll call you okay?
- Ok.
- I just want you to know
I'm not afraid anymore.
- What?
- Here.
[Zack laughing]
- Dude, what the fuck man?
[Laughing]
Wait...
Patrick?
Oh my god,
I remember you now.
Weren't you in that
nerdy computer club?
Umm...
Look man...
That cut looks pretty deep,
I don't think you should wait
around for her,
you know?
- What?
- How about I call you a cab?
- No, I'm not getting up
until she comes back.
- Ok, umm...
[Laughing]
You're starting to freak
everyone out
and umm...
Worse than that,
you're ruining it for someone
who might actually have a
chance with her. So...
[Groaning]
[Laughing]
Ok seriously?
[Laughing]
Alright, come one.
- Get off me!
- Dude!
What the hell?
- She'll... She'll see
that I'm strong.
That I'm not afraid
to make a move.
- Wait, do you think that
she actually likes you?
Dude... you were
bothering her.
She's being nice because
she pities you.
- Shut up.
- No, no.
You saw the way that
she reacted to you.
She thinks you're a freak.
I mean, look at you.
You are a freak.
- Shut up!
[Crowd gasping]
- Wow!
[Roaring]
[Groaning]
- Come on!
[Groaning]
- Take your fucking
hands off me!
Let go of me!
- Zack, What are you doing?
[Glass breaking]
[Crowd panicking]
[Ominous music]
[Ominous music]
[Ominous music]
[Door opens]
[Door closes]
- I'm Administrator Malloy.
Do you know where
you are, Patrick?
- I, uh...
In... In jail?
- No.
Not jail, not yet anyway.
You're at the
Parabelle Psychiatric
Rehabilitation Center.
Do you know why you're here?
- I... uh...
- You've been arrested for DUI
and assault with a deadly weapon
That guy
you caved his skull in,
Zach, I believe
his name was...
Is Still in a coma.
That could mean 3 years
in prison for you.
[Breathing]
But I don't see
any past felonies.
Up until now your record
was completely clean.
Your psychological profile
doesn't show any
violent tendencies.
You might just be a good
candidate for this new
program.
- New program?
- You see Patrick,
prison is a hostile
environment.
I've seen many young
men like you and
quite frankly, your kind
don't do very well in prison.
In fact, many don't
make it out at all.
This new program is...
unconventional, but it
might just make your
time away from society more...
productive... bearable...
even transformative.
It could cut down on your
sentence significantly...
Depends on how well
you play along.
- What I have to do?
- Just sign these,
[Paper movement]
and we'll take care
of the rest.
[Signing]
[Ominous music]
[Electric pulse]
[Prison embiance]
[Keys rattling]
[Opening lock]
- You have 20 minutes
[Door opens]
- Patrick.
- Angela!
[Laughing]
I'm so happy to see you!
- Oh
[Laughing]
- Here, have a seat.
[Moving chair]
- Wow.
[Laughing]
- This is a...
This is the palace.
- Yeah.
[Sigh]
You look good.
[Laughing]
- Thanks.
[Sigh]
- Listen, I'm...
I'm sorry it took me so
long to come and visit,
it's just that...
Eagle eye had some...
issues with the law last month
and I've been strapped for cash
and I kind of...
was afraid-
- It's ok Angela
- No.
When you called me...
and what happened after,
I keep thinking,
if only I had-
- It's OK Angela.
I'm not mad at you.
To be honest, I'm
feeling very well.
- You are?
They treating you ok?
- Yes.
In fact, I even get to
keep my Sight.
I have a nice routine here.
Plenty to do.
It gets a little
repetitive but
they have a way of keeping
things interesting.
[Video game sounds]
After all this time,
keeping myself locked away
in my apartment,
I have to tell you that
being locked away here feels
almost strangely liberating.
[Video game sounds]
The agoraphobia is gone.
I felt so alone all this time.
Suddenly I feel like
I'm part of something.
Everyone here is just like me.
There's no social media,
no one to impress,
no paralyzing
decisions, just...
living in the moment.
I do my workouts,
I eat well,
I follow instructions.
Obsessing about the past was
destructive for me,
for everyone.
[Panting]
It's time for me to look to
the future, I think.
I feel like...
I'm Finally on my way there.
