Didn't you see it?
Aravane?
We've done it!
I was there.
That's not possible.
Only the disk can
detect the entangled...
[Tobin] An entangled
twin particle
in the other place and
time, but I saw it!
[Ronith] We have to
take a step back here.
[Tobin] No! Not now.
Arcing to 40 T.E.V!

[door opens]
Elena?
Wiley?
[door closes]
I got it.
Hey, Dad.
Hey, bud.
It's still in the garage.
Hiding behind the
trash cans now.
Well, I guess we're
just going to have to
bait it with something
more delicious, then, huh?
How you doing?
You get a haircut?
No.
Lost our swim meet this week.
[Neil] Oh. Well, they
probably rigged the water.
Sorry I didn't make it, dude.
I'll be at the next
one though, okay?
Hey.
Hey.
[keys jingle]
I still have a key, so.
I'm gonna lift this up
and you push that
little deal right there.
-Okay.
-I'm just gonna lift it up
right there...
-[device sparks]
Aah!
[laughter]
[door opens]
Did you catch it?
Please go inside and
let us finish this.
Dad, you can watch my swim
meet tonight if you want.
It's on GoPro.
I'm happy to stay.
Just... just for tonight.
I don't want you waking up
with something dead out
here in the morning.
There you go. Yeah.
Nice form, dude.
But then, that kid
swims in my lane
and then I swim into his.
So what? Look at that manatee.
What, is he gonna stop
and get lunch on the way?
Geez.
So there's kids on your
team that messed up
way worse than you, right?
Hm.
I don't think so.
[crowd cheering on TV]
[brooding music playing]
[cage clanking]
[thuds]
[Neil] It's actually
the furthest outta town
we've done an inspection
in a while too.
Something industrial?
[Neil] I don't know.
[Wiley] Did you get it?
[Neil] Get what?
The animal.
Oh, yeah, I did.
But you were still asleep,
and it wasn't, so
I had to let it go.
Want me to take you to school?
On the bike? No, absolutely not.
I can run home real
quick and get my car.
-Okay.
-[phone buzzes]
Thank you, that would
actually really help me out.
[Elena] Guess that means
you got your license back?
What is it?
[Neil] Oh, a guy just...
made me a full
offer on the bike.
He wants to come check
it out this morning
before he goes to work.
Wow.
[car revving]
[Carl] In this circumstance,
what's the harm
in knowing a little bit
more than the teacher?
I can't commit to that.
If the buyer is going
to build a school,
it's going to be a
knockdown anyway.
[Byron] Burden of the
inspection is on their side.
[keys thud]
We just don't feel a
need to over-disclose.
I'm sure there's a path here.
-[Byron] Mm-hm.
-[knock on door]
-Hey.
-[Garrison] Hey.
Carl, Byron, this
is my right hand.
Nice to meet you.
-Neil.
-Hi. Pleasure.
Nice to meet you.
-He'll be heading to
your property with me.
I saw the building code file's
classed as "Engineering."
You tell us. Not
sure what it was.
Bought it at auction
from a foreclosed owner.
Third removed from the
original 1978 government sale.
We just flip.
And we won't make you
jump through any hoops.
[laughter]
[rock metal music playing]
Did all the wiring on my own.
Thousand watts. Boom!
That sounds tight.
Man, I got all this
time to myself again
and nobody to
apologize to for it.
Reclaimed my weekend
warrior, bud.
Yeah, I sold my
bike this morning.
No shit?
Is that the last stop
on your apology tour?
-No, I'm good.
-[Garrison] What?
No more "Rockin'
in the Tree World?"
C'mon, there's got to
be one Neil Young song?
"Neils on a chalkboard".
You know what a
diehard my mom was.
All I remember was
those bird feeders.
You didn't ask me inside much.
All those poles in the yard.
One for each month sober.
[Garrison] That's what
I'm talking about.
[pensive music playing]
[Neil] Shit. If they're
bus sing kids out here,
they're throwing 'em under it.
[car door closes]
It ain't your kid,
so what do you care?
Buyers like the land, and
it's the right zoning.
[unsettling music playing]
Six, seven, zero, five.
[chain clanking]
This is the code they gave me.
Let me give them a call.
Uh, climb over and get started.
What if it's electric?
[fence clanking]
It's government. Not prison.
Come on.
[gate clanking]
[door opens]
Whoa-ho-ho. Fucking A.
[door closes]
This place is juiced.
Hey.
You see these bus bars?
-[Neil] Yeah.
Along this inverted T?
This is direct current.
I ain't never seen this
in an office building.
It's like its own power grid.
Let's see if it's any good.
[lever cranked]
[electric powering up]
[door opens]
Man.
-[door closes]
[Garrison] Bet your Wiley's made
sturdier shit with
his Legos, huh?
[Neil] Then you should
come see my apartment.
[Garrison] Selling your bike
didn't earn your keys back?
Well, Elena let me stay
at the house last night.
Had to get a possum
out of the garage.
[Garrison] Look at you
coming to the rescue.
[scoffs]
Well, I guess this is where, uh,
Radio Shack crawled off to die.
Is this some kind of a lab?
Hey, you know, if teach
don't buy this place,
you could sell all this
vintage crap on eBay,
make a killing.
[pensive music playing]
It's like they
just... up and left
right in the middle
of a workday.
Something messed up
must've happened here.
Buyers don't need to know that.
We're putting the
shine on this one.
Come here. Check this out.
Stairwell to nowhere.
No lower levels mapped.
[door opens]
[soft, dark music playing]
[door opens]
[clattering]
[Neil] Did you ask a
code enforcement officer
what this place used to be?
[Garrison] Did I run
down to the courthouse?
No.
Coulda done it with
Deirdre, though.
One-stop shop.
Sorry that's gotten
so ugly, man.
You ever cut and run,
it'll catch up to you.
Last year, I made
her a limited partner
for tax purposes.
-[objects clattering]
Now, she's claiming
half the business.
So...
I need this sale to go through.
[Neil] Must've been
some scientists here.
Can you hear me?
We don't need to file that.
We don't need to file any of it.
[door opens]
[pensive music playing]
[Neil] What is that?
[Garrison] It's
gotta be magnetic.
Flashlight is a battery.
Try your phone light.
It's dead. Totally dead.
C'mon, Mr. 1,000
watts. Check this out.
[Garrison] We don't
know what that is.
Isn't that why we're here?
[indistinct chattering]
[Tobin] [VO]
[whispers] I was there.
[Neil] Garrison?
[loud thud]
Mama!
[speaking in Chinese]
[sinister music playing]
[Neil groans]
[thuds]
[panting]
What the fuck?
Did you see that?
I got you stoned! [chuckles]
Set a mold test. And
let's get outta here.
[mysterious music]
[into phone] How does
that impact your business?
Why would I do that?
That doesn't even
make... excuse me.
Hold on one sec.
Where you been?
I've been waiting out
here for like 45 minutes.
What? I was right behind you.
Forty-five minutes
I've been sitting here.
[into phone] Sorry about that.
Yeah.
I know, but that's
not my problem.
[mysterious music]
[Neil] Well, if you
can't find the space...
[Wiley] I want to.
It's the last time.
Yeah, but it's our first
weekend together in a while.
And your mom doesn't know
I'm letting you ride it.
How about we just
keep it up here?
This is the meet
I lost us anyways.
You didn't lose it.
Not on your own.
Coach Ploch says we're
each part of a team.
[Neil] Yeah.
Well, that's why you don't
pee in the pool, right?
And hey.
We go slow.
[dirt bike revving]
[birds chirping]
[gentle music]
There you go. Nice.
I am so glad I brought
you a change of clothes.
Your mom's gonna kill me.
All right, here we go.
Throttle out. Throttle
out. A little more.
A little more. Just like that.
There you go.
[dirt bike revving]
It's like when you're swimming;
you see that wall coming,
but you don't slow down, you
use your momentum, right?
-[Wiley] Yeah.
-[Neil] Okay.
A little more.
A little more! A little
more! A little more!
[indistinct]
A little more. Here.
[dirt bike revving]
[beam blasting]
[Tobin] [VO] Arcing to 40 T.E.V!
[Aravane] [VO] Don't
risk this, Tobin.
It's reckless.
[sinister music playing]
[crash]
[dirt bike stalls]
[Neil] Wiley!
Wiley, you okay?
Let me see.
[Wiley moaning in pain]
[siren wailing]
[phone ringing]
How could you do this?
He begged me.
That was our last...
Look, I just wanted us to
do something fun together.
And we took it easy.
Took it easy?
I asked you to
never let him on it.
Ever. He should have never
been on that bike, Neil.
And why was he in front?
Because he wanted to record it.
It was just... it was
just a freak accident.
No.
No, it's not an accident, Neil.
This kind of thing
keeps happening.
[Dr. Boyce] This middle
part of the retina
is called the macula.
It focuses our central vision.
Without it, we couldn't
recognize faces.
What do you mean, "without it?"
Wiley suffered severe
injury to his macula
and he's going to need
corneal transplants.
But matching a donor
could take time.
And that time allows the
maculas to further degrade.
Well, can the "maruta"
just heal itself?
You mean macula.
Do you have
catastrophic coverage?
[sighs] No.
[Elena] Okay, lift
your chin, honey.
Okay, right there.
Good job.
Okay.
You want me to
read you something?
What time is it? I hear birds.
[Elena] Well, it's... it's
Monday morning, honey.
What about school?
You just give me a shout if
you need anything, okay, bud?
I'll be right outside.
-You're staying?
-No.
Daddy has to go to work.
I'm gonna be right
back, okay, honey?
[smooch]
[door closes]
I want to be here to help.
Oh, well, good. You're
gonna have to be now.
Because how else
can we afford this,
if you're paying extra rent?
Wait, you want me to
move back into the house?
It is not about us.
It's about our son.
We sacrifice for him.
Whatever you have to do,
extra inspections, overtime.
I don't care, Neil, just do it.
I'm still selling the bike.
Someone's gonna buy it crashed?
I'll fix it. I'll fix this.
I can call Andrew
about selling our...
our boat.
[punches thrown]
[dial keys beeping]
[Naomi] I was just walking out
and they were already
waiting right there.
[Andrew] We think they were
all from that same fraternity.
Well, I... I think they were.
Andrew, my husband
wasn't there but I, uh,
could show you my office.
[phone vibrating]
[call ends]
I wrote this article based
on accounts of their hazing.
Some near torture.
They were shouting
about what I had written
along with racial
slurs towards me.
When the one stepped in
so close, that's when I...
I used the mace.
Are you able to
work from home or...
someplace else for
the next week or so?
[footsteps]
Hey.
[thuds]
-[knocks on door]
-[Garrison] Yeah.
[door opens]
[Neil] Hey.
There's donuts.
You get those mold
test results yet?
[exhales] Shit.
My bad, man.
Look, I'll head back
and go grab 'em, okay?
These guys wanted to go
to contract yesterday.
You seen that place, right?
Yeah.
[Garrison] More time
we give to the buyer,
more it gives them
second thoughts.
Let's dip for an
early lunch, right?
Then you can head
out and grab it.
Yeah.
Thank you.
Thanks.
[clears throat] All right.
-Salud.
-[glasses clinks]
Salud. To health.
Sure. I'll buy that
before bombing my liver.
Hey, our health insurance
hasn't changed at all, has it?
No. Why?
Well, 'cause Wiley
got hurt pretty bad.
How?
[Neil] On my bike.
You know, it was our last ride
and he really wanted to do it.
And I haven't spent much
time with him lately.
[Garrison] Uh-oh.
You blew your dad badge now.
[Neil] Yeah, I know. I know.
Anyway, the maruta in
his eye got damaged, so.
What's a maruta?
Oh God, I keep
fucking saying that.
The macula. The
macula in his eye.
You know, he comes home from
the hospital today and...
but he still needs pretty
serious eye surgery
and we're not fully covered.
If you have any extra shifts
or anything lying around...
I promised Elena I'd do
whatever it takes, so.
So you faced the music?
I'm trying to, yeah.
Then turn up, pal.
Sounds nuts...
Yeah.
But why are you going to
keep punishing yourself?
The one thing I take
away from my divorce.
You fucked up, right?
Yeah.
Okay, but you copped to it.
So if Elena wants to
still crucify you,
why you gonna help her
hammer in the nails?
Let's get another round before
I bury you in all those shifts.
[door opens]
Hello?
[door closes]
[indistinct chatter]
[Elena sighs]
Hi.
-[Neil] Hey.
Sorry, the inspection
went a little late.
Welcome home, bud.
How you feeling?
[Wiley] Better, I guess.
These pills make me
feel like I'm on a boat.
[Neil chuckles]
Well, we'll get you
up for the real deal
at the lake soon enough, okay?
So you talked to Andrew?
Yeah, um, it was his voicemail.
[sniffles]
We saw Dr. Boyce today
before they released him.
Op-ful-emo-logist.
[Neil laughs]
I can't say it.
It's oph-thal-mol-ogist.
[Wiley] Oph-thal-mol-ogist?
How'd that go? Was
that... was that good?
[footsteps receding]
You all done, buddy?
You want some dessert?
[Guang screaming in pain]
[Wiley/Guang] Why are we maruta?
Maruta?
[Wiley] Mocha chip.
[Neil sniffles]
[door closes]
[sighs] Where was
your inspection today?
Out near the airport.
I'm pretty sure it was in a bar.
I told Garrison what happened.
He said, "Let's get
lunch." You know how he is.
Yeah. I know how he is.
So I decided to stay
in his good graces.
I asked him for some extra
shifts and he said yes.
I just did what you
wanted me to do.
And all I was asking was
how Wiley's follow-up was.
Three weeks.
Till his next one.
[Elena] Nope.
Till our son goes blind.
What?
What about the surgeries?
They can't do them
without a donor.
And that's how long we have.
[Neil] Then how
do we speed it up?
[sarcastic laugh]
What, you think we're
high on the list?
With our insurance
and our finances?
After all the money you
blew when you blew your DUI?
-It was an accident.
-[Elena] Oh, my God.
Okay? And it might not
entirely be my fault.
No, listen.
Of course it's yours.
How long do you
think I can hide it?
I know you love your
perfect equations.
[tense music]
Did you see me just now?
Neil, what are
you talking about?
Look, ever since
this one inspection,
I've been having these...
I don't know, they're like,
like weird hallucinations.
I'm serious!
And that's what really
happened on the bike.
[sighs]
I'm... I'm thinking it
might be some kind of
workman's comp thing I can
get for some extra money.
You have to believe me!
I have never needed to believe
you more than right now.
So help me.
[door opens]
[door closes]
[distant phone ringing]
[keyboard clacking]
[phone ringing]
Andrew.
Hey, man, thanks for
getting back to me.
[Andrew] Sorry it
took me a minute.
We've had a bit of
drama up here lately.
Yeah, I hear you.
Hey, look, man, um...
I need to talk to
you about the boat.
We're thinking about
cashing out our half.
You know, we're not really
up at the lake much anymore.
[Andrew] Actually, Naomi
and I are looking to
get outta town this weekend.
We could dip down
and see you instead.
Oh, yeah. Um... yeah.
If anything, he should have been
behind you on the bike.
And that should be
automatic to you
because you're used to
putting yourself first.
Look, the only
reason I'm doing this
is to talk to him
about selling the boat.
Does Naomi know we're separated?
How is that their business?
Why is she even coming
if the business is
between you and Andrew?
Look, I'm trying to do
everything I can here. Okay?
Do they know what
really happened?
Do they know that you...
[Aravane] ...that you did this.
Elena?
And what type is that?
A 45?
[Neil] No, it's big, so...
Thirty-three!
[Neil] That's right.
Thirty-three because
the smaller the number,
the bigger it is.
Because the number means
how many times it spins.
Thirty-three per minute.
[Neil] That's right.
Come on, let's go.
All right, bud.
Here. You take that.
We'll jam out to some records
when you get back, okay?
I love you.
Love you.
[car engine revving]
[mysterious music]
[car engine revving]
[birds chirping]
And they haven't asked
me to identify anyone,
which I totally could.
[Andrew] All white guys.
I'd be more specific than that.
[Andrew] Cops'll go
to the college admin,
end of story.
If Naomi's story didn't
launch an investigation
on its own merit,
this won't either.
Guess the school's changed
since we were there.
I mean, has it?
Shit's way older
than the Greeks.
Frats are fascist.
A family only
through persecution.
And admin's mostly legacy,
so they'll just turn a
blind eye to it and then...
Anyway, sorry.
How are you?
I'm good.
Where are Wiley and Elena?
Oh, they're, uh, they're
visiting her mom.
They had it planned
for a while, so...
Oh. We were really looking
forward to seeing them.
Ow! Fuck!
Are you okay?
Caveman make fire!
Yeah.
Andrew, Naomi, meet Garrison.
He's the one who sends
me into the caves.
Neil said, uh, karaoke
and I couldn't resist.
Truly the only way to enjoy
sadomasochism in public.
Hey, whatever floats your boat.
[Garrison laughs]
And speaking of boats, we need
to talk, when you get a chance.
Yeah, we will.
So, you're in
commercial inspections?
Ah, in 'em all the time, yeah.
Doomed to haunt big
empty buildings. You?
Oh, corporate consulting.
[Neil] Still telling execs
how to use the Keurig?
You load it, you
push it, you pour it.
[laughing]
A bit more
challenging than that.
Offices I work in,
they're not empty.
[laughter]
Hey, hey. No frat boys
here, please. Okay?
Well, to be fair, we got
animals, homeless squatters.
Right?
We've had some weird
run-ins. Neil, just recently.
I've been hurt One
too many times...
[Garrison] That's
it! That's the voice!
Right there.
Turning our stools here!
Oh, and from Mr. Music
Critic himself.
Oh, God, you remember that?
Of course.
Those articles that you wrote
for the college newspaper
were great.
You should have stuck with it.
No, no, everybody's an
online critic nowadays.
What difference am I gonna make?
[sighs]
Yeah, I could say
that in my articles.
Ever since high school, this one
can hear just one little note,
then tell you the whole song.
Human Shazam.
That's right. You guys
grew up together, right?
Wait, where'd you go when
he was in college with us?
Oh, I went to work.
Come on, you're up.
Come on. Your round.
[Neil sighs]
Five years working for me
before he saved up
enough for school.
And look where it got him.
Journalism's a heroic
field these days.
Mm.
Got yourself a lot of enemies.
Oh, yeah. I'll...
I'll give you that.
We're, um, we're actually
down here because I had
some pretty harsh critics
show up at my office.
Uh-oh.
Yeah.
You got the, uh, kiddos
with a babysitter?
We don't have any,
uh, children yet.
Yeah.
I feel like my parenting
gene left when my, uh,
when my ex took me
to the cleaners.
You seem so familiar.
Dunno. My dad moved
us around a lot.
Um, Army brat.
Must've been kinda tough.
For me?
Yeah, around here.
Kind of. Yeah.
[Neil] All right.
Okay.
Salud.
-[Neil] Salud.
I think you're up next, Gar.
[Garrison] Yeah?
Just tell Andrew to do
mine while he's up there.
No, no. No, you gotta
show some spine, man.
Duet.
Go, go on.
[Neil] Can you chill out on her?
Just talk.
What? You two have history?
No, she has a husband.
You don't need to
make a sport of that.
You really qualified
to referee right now?
Come on. No, no, no.
You said duet. Let's go.
[rock music playing]
[sinister music playing]
[wet squelch]
[sinister scream]
[Garrison groans]
You better get sane fast, pal.
Garrison?
I'm s... Gar?
I'm sorry!
-[Naomi] Wait, what happened?
What'd he do?
Last thing I can risk is
losing is my job right now.
Wait. Neil, what is happening?
[Neil] It only happens
with certain close contact.
All right, let me
get this straight.
People's faces changing?
Are you on something?
[Neil] No.
It's like my... my
vision is distorted.
Have you seen an eye doctor?
[Neil] I'm not gonna ask Wiley's, but it
all started after being in this place.
Then why are you
taking us there?
Not gonna ask Wiley's doctor
what? What doctor, Neil?
[Neil] Elena took him
to her mom's because
I was weirding them out
with all this stuff.
I just gotta do
Garrison a solid.
I left a mold test in
there that he needs, so...
You guys can wait
outside if you want.
No, we're... we're here for you.
You two knock yourselves
out. I'm staying here.
[Naomi] What was this place?
[Neil] I don't really know.
I've seen things
I can't explain.
Lost 45 minutes on my watch.
So, if you see something,
that means I'm not nuts.
[alarm beeping]
[Naomi] Wow.
What a time capsule.
I'd love to do an
article on this place.
Wait'll you see this.
[disturbing, whimsical
music playing]
Probably a good exit cue, right?
[Neil] Try your phone.
My cell's dead.
Wait, I... I have a lighter.
[lighter clicks]
[indistinct chattering]
What is that?
[indistinct
chattering continues]
[vase shatters]
Shuyi!
Shuyi! [speaks in Chinese]
Shuyi!
[Neil] Naomi!
Naomi!
Naomi.
-[Naomi grunts]
-[Neil] You okay?
We gotta get out of here.
[Naomi grunts]
[dogs barking]
[Naomi coughing]
[Andrew] What the hell
happened down there?
You guys were gone like an hour.
[Naomi] You know I never
remember much after a seizure.
We're going to a hotel.
[car door closes]
[Neil] Sorry I risked
us going in there.
[car leaving]
[disturbing, whimsical sounds]
[door closes]
[footsteps]
[door hinges squeak]
[door closes, lock clicks]
[distant creaks]
If that's another
fuckin' animal...
[suspenseful music playing]
I know who you are.
That you've been inside.
That you've seen
through the God's Eye.
I know because I
can see you now.
Who you really are.
Get the fuck out of my house.
[Ronith] I need you to
get me back in there.
Get the fuck out of
my house right now!
Now!
How could they not pull permits?
1977!
HVDC transmission line repair
and reconnect to
Delberg substation.
[keyboard clacking]
HVDC.
High voltage direct current.
Used for loss less
transmission of power.
Applications:
long-distance distribution,
seafloor systems, atomic
particle colliders.
Hey, Gar.
[grunts]
[door closes]
Hey, look, man, I'm...
I'm really sorry about karaoke.
[scoffs]
Everybody's always
sorry after karaoke.
[scoffs] Okay.
I'm... just, you know, all
this stress around Wiley
has got me on edge, you know?
Can I show you something?
Stachybotrys.
Black mold, the same kind
that can cause brain damage.
I think that whole floor
is infested with it.
Same floor that's not
on the blueprints?
Same floor that they're
gonna fill with concrete
to do a new foundation?
So you want me to just
file in the report then?
Gimme that.
You wasted time I
said we didn't have.
I'm not trying to hurt
your deal or anything
but if I'm being honest here,
I think we were exposed
to something down there.
Some mold? You with OSHA now?
No, man, look.
Remember that power
that you found there?
That direct current?
Yeah, it's called HVDC.
And they only use it
in certain places.
I think that place was some
kind of... I don't know.
A particle collider or something
that had a... a meltdown.
[Garrison] Oh, it
had a meltdown.
Look, I know I've
been off, okay?
But it only started after
I was in that place, okay,
and I don't want to make this
some kind of
workman's comp thing
or anything like that.
-You threatening me?
You know how fucking
lucky you are
that you have a job right now?
-[Neil] No.
That's not what I'm doing
here, Garrison. Okay?
I'm just trying to tell you
that we went down there.
It shows you right here...
You think you're gonna
squeeze me like my wife?
Is that what you think?
Just because you
maimed your fucking kid
and you ain't got any
money to pay for it?
No, I'm just trying to do
right by you here, okay?
If they build a school there...
-[Garrison] Oh, oh, oh.
And you don't
disclose some major...
Right, right, right.
Because you're all
about the greater good.
Why don't you worry
about your own kid?
Do your job and I'll do mine.
[Neil] Salud.

[Jian straining]
[body parts thudding]
[thud]
Wait, 731! It's a place!
What's 731?
The numbers. You
saw them, right?
On... on like a prisoner.
Look, I think it's
touch that causes it.
Let me see your hand.
-[Garrison] Back off! Relax!
Look, just... just tell
me that you saw them!
Okay, ever since
that inspection,
I've been having these things
and I know you're
having them too.
You pull this again, you're out.
Okay?
Get your shit together.
[door closes]
[Elena] I don't know.
You know, every
morning I wake up
feeling like an absolute monster
because I prayed
overnight someone died
so he would have a donor.
That's... that's someone
else's life destroyed for ours.
[knocks on door]
[man] [on TV] ...federation
enters its third year.
According to a UN
Human Rights report,
the human cost of this conflict
has been nothing
short of horrific
with millions of civilians
suffering immensely.
That's the latest
report from the UN.
Hey.
[Elena] Hey.
I, uh, brought you
guys some stuff.
Wiley's pills.
Your mom's in there giving
them to him right now.
She gave me a bit of her
medicine too at the door.
Mm-hm.
[Neil] Naomi and
Andrew left already.
I did get a chance to talk
to him about the boat.
It's worth a decent chunk now.
That's some good news...
I guess. [chuckles]
Why didn't you
tell me they left?
I just wanted to make sure I
had my head back on straight.
[sighs]
We saw Dr. Boyce again.
She asked if she could
see the GoPro in case
it shed light on how he was hit.
I don't understand. Why
did you scream like that?
'Cause I... I... I
s... I saw it coming,
but it was... it was too late.
Trust me, I've been... I've
been riding these things
since I was younger than Wiley.
I know, but just because
you've been doing
whatever reckless
shit you want to do
when you were his
age doesn't mean...
When I was his age, I was
the only adult in the house.
Those bikes were my mom's way of keeping me as
far away as possible for the day, when she...
When she would lock me out.
I just want our lives back.
[door opens]
Wiley.
Thanks, Mom.
Come on in.
Hey, Dad.
Why does the blind octopus
carry eight six-shooters?
Okay.
This doesn't sound
like a very funny joke.
[Wiley and Neil chuckle]
Cuz it can't sea anenome.
Ah, nice. [chuckles]
We'll get you back
swimming with them soon.
Okay, bud?
But Dr. Boyce said I
have to wait a while
till I can swim again.
Well, maybe, what, a
half hour after you eat?
We'll get you fixed
up, right, bud?
[emotional music playing]
[sinister music playing]
[sergeant speaking in Chinese]
[door opens]
[Xifeng speaking in Chinese]
[sergeant speaking in Chinese]
[Xifeng screams]
-Shuyi!
-[Neil] Wiley!
Wiley! Stop!
Wiley, why would
you say that, huh?
Shuyi? Why would you say that?
-[Elena] Stop! Stop! Stop!
What did I say?
How could you know that word?
Honey, you didn't say
anything. It's okay.
Neil, he didn't say anything.
[Wiley clears throat]
Say goodnight to Dad.
Night, Dad.
No asbestos.
Radon and mold look clear so...
I think we're good
on what we agreed.
[footsteps]
[phone ringing]
I'm sorry.
Just give me one second, okay?
Okay.
Hey.
We meet again.
Hi. Uh, is Neil here?
I tried his cell.
Already left.
Uh, something I
can answer for you?
I'll just try him at home.
Hey, I'm really sorry, uh,
cutting our concert
short the other night.
It's good.
Neil's just been
pretty triggered
since hurting Wiley.
What do you mean?
He didn't tell you?
He feels ashamed.
Um, I'm with clients right now.
But I would love, um, to
sidebar with you later
and we can discuss it all
if you want to give
me your number.
I think I should just,
um, hear it from Neil.
Fair enough.
Um, if you see him, denial's
not doing him any favors.
It's really good to see you.
[sinister music playing]
[Xifeng speaking in Chinese]
[speaking in Chinese]
[Xifeng speaks in Chinese]
[screaming]
[panting]
[screams]
[convulsing]
Nine-one-one.
No, no, no.
[breathing heavily]
No.
Did he take you
in that building?
[Naomi breathing heavily]
[footsteps receding]
[keyboard clacking]
[clanks]
Who are you?
What do you know
about that place, huh?
Answer me!
-[Xifeng speaking in Chinese]
It's me! It's Naomi!
[panting heavily]
Naomi!
Jesus fucking Christ. I'm sorry.
You need to tell
me what's going on.
I keep seeing these...
What, weird images?
-[Naomi] Yes.
-Like hallucinations?
Yes.
And I've had three
more seizures, okay.
One on my first day
back in the office
in front of everybody.
I didn't know what
that place was.
It's a particle collider.
Like nuclear stuff?
[Neil] Yeah.
I didn't know!
-Jesus, Neil.
Look, there's something
I want to show you.
That guy keeps following me.
What?
Stay here.
[door opens]
Andrew?
Just snuggling by the fire?
Big brother's a bitch, huh?
You can't find any
privacy these days.
You got a lot of nerve
calling me with some sob story
about needing
money from the boat
when you're sitting around
having reunion number two
with my wife.
-We were just talking.
You know all the
medicines she has to take
on the other side of a seizure?
You have any idea
how that is impacting our own
personal plans for a family?
Because you did this
to her all over again.
I just came by
because I was worried.
Bet Elena's not here, is she?
She's always been
the backup anyway.
I love my wife,
just like you do.
So let's not say some shit
we're gonna regret, okay?
[Andrew] Regret?
You didn't quite get the
life you wanted, did you?
[Naomi] Andrew, enough!
You want a little more
private time? Fine.
Oh, uh, and Neil,
about the boat.
I sold a guy at work
one of the outboards
since we're not using it.
That's half its value!
You knew how important
that was to me.
It shouldn't be.
You've always been more of
a secondhand man anyway.
[punch thrown]
Andrew! Stop! Enough!
Okay, enough.
You two have at it.
Maybe he'll pin you to
a telephone pole again.
Oh, shit. You okay?
[screaming in pain]
You saw it!
It's touch that causes
it. Lemme see your hand.
Stop! Do you want me to
have another seizure?
You can push your agenda
to shove sometimes.
Look, just tell me you saw it.
A sick child?
Some kind of symbol on
his arm or something?
Yeah. You know what
that symbol means?
Of course not.
You're scaring me.
It means plague. "Shuyi."
It's the same word
I heard you say
when you were inside that place.
Look, there's got to be
an answer to all of this.
I need your help.
The word "maruta"
kept coming to me
along with the number 7-3-1.
So, maybe we can
start with that.
[keyboard clacking]
That's it there.
[Naomi] "Unit 731
was a detachment of"
"Japan's Kwantung Army
"that conducted
bio-warfare testing
"in northeastern China
during World War Two.
"Their facility housed war
crime experiments on POWs
"and the local Chinese were
forced to build the site.
"Captives were
inhumanely referred to
as marutas, or logs."
Oh my god, this is awful.
"General Ichiro Kagami
presided over the..."
-[Neil] I've seen him.
-[Naomi] What?
-[Neil] In Garrison.
I've seen all of this
through contact with him.
[Naomi] "Victims were routinely
exposed to radiation testing",
"frostbite experiments,
and lethal pathogens
like bubonic plague."
Oh, Jesus.
[Neil] Oh, here.
I also found this at
that place I brought you,
and there must be
some connection.
So if we can find him
or maybe something about
what they were working on,
we can get some answers.
[sighs] I think I
gotta go home, Neil.
Do you really want
to be around Andrew
in this state of mind?
Mine or his?
You have research skills
and access that I don't.
And I keep seeing the
same woman in you.
So what?
Just because I have
Japanese ancestry,
that tunnel somehow karmically
connected me to her?
I'm grasping at straws here.
[sighs] There is such a
thing as generational trauma
that punishes us for events that
we didn't even live through.
But I am pretty sure
there is no such thing
as racially profiled
reincarnation.
[Neil] Wait.
I have his license plate.
That guy who's been following me
before he broke into my house.
You didn't tell me that.
I didn't want to scare you.
Yeah, you're crushing
it with that.
Maybe we can find
the registration.
[birds chirping]
Thank you for
meeting me so early.
No worries.
It's hard for me to
get away... with Wiley.
Were you with Neil this weekend?
With his college friends?
You needed me here to ask that?
I'm trying to figure
out what's going on.
Something's very
wrong, Garrison.
It's a really hard time for you.
And I know that Neil
has never been wild
about taking responsibility.
But I have my own
as his employer.
Has he told you how
much this costs?
Yeah. Yeah.
When he tried to extort me.
What do you mean?
He threatened me,
and then he created this
story about hallucinating
after we had spent an
hour around some mold.
[exhales] Wiley might go blind.
I understand how you must feel.
No, you don't. You
don't have kids.
I was always worried
they would get hurt.
Neil's job is the
only solid ground
we have right now.
I am begging you.
Please don't take
that away from my son.
Wiley!
Oh, bud.
You remember Dad's
boss, Garrison?
Say hi.
Hey, Wiley.
[Wiley] Hey.
I hear you're gonna
be all better soon.
[Guang speaking in Chinese]
[speaking in Chinese]
[speaking in Chinese]
[door opens]
[speaking in Chinese]
[Ichiro speaking in Chinese]
[Jian speaking in Chinese]
I brought this upon you.
[unsettling music playing]
[door closes]
[breathing heavily]
Why did you just say that?
That you brought this upon us?
I, uh...
Maybe, um, maybe I was a
little too harsh on, um,
on your situation.
I... I would like to
help out however I can.
[whispers] Are you seeing what
Neil's been talking about?
No.
[Neil] How can you
have no public records
other than a ten-year
expired registration?
Staying off the grid? I dunno.
Well, he wore a mask,
so obviously, he
doesn't wanna be found.
But this Ronith Nanda, he...
he's gotta know something.
We'd need government records.
What about your dad?
[Naomi] No, absolutely not.
I'm sure he still thinks
I'm a curse around you, but,
I mean, he could still...
-Your mother wasn't
real Kumbaya towards me either.
Yeah, but you didn't give
her any reason for that.
I gave your dad one.
But I mean, still, if he has
his government clearance...
No, I don't want him
knowing anything about this.
[Neil] Well, then
how are we going to?
I mean, it could take us
weeks to follow threads
that lead us absolutely nowhere.
He's two miles away.
[car door opens]
-[car door closes]
-[Naomi sighs]
[Neil] Why was Japan
even at war with China?
[Naomi] They had all
these internal debts
after World War One,
and the only way to step
forward as a global power
was another war.
Manchuria had all
these natural resources
and forced labor they
needed to compete,
so they took it hostage.
Just keep the X-Files
stuff to a minimum, okay?
[car doors opening]
The new paint out there
looks great, Mr. Tanaka.
Yeah, you haven't been
around here for a while, huh?
Still inspecting properties?
That's why we're here, Dad.
[Neil sighs]
He worked for a
building I inspected,
and we think he was some
kind of military scientist.
We think?
What's your hand in this?
I tried to help
with public records,
but we need someone
with clearance.
Yeah, they want
to build a school
so we're just trying
to make sure it's safe.
R. Marris.
S. Marris.
[Neil] Right there. T. Marris.
[Ken] Ah. Died...
Boyleston VA hospital in 1978.
[keyboard clacking]
He presided over
the Indra Project,
officially disbanded in 1978.
Same year Marris died.
This is Air Force.
[Naomi] I-N-D-R-A?
It's some Hindu god.
[Ken] Uh, it's an
acronym probably, honey.
[Naomi] Can you
see into the files?
-[mouse clicks]
-[Ken] No fly zone.
If I can't get into this file,
why the hell do you
want to get into it?
[Neil] We think that something
might have happened there,
you know, that might rule
out the new build, so.
You show up here
with a black eye,
my daughter in your car, again,
after God knows how many years.
My coffee's getting cold.
Wait, Dad, please.
It's important.
The license plate. Show him.
We couldn't find
anything on them.
[keyboard clacking]
Ronith Nanda. Also
Indra Project.
What does it say?
Ah, there's nothing good.
His DD 214 says he was
dishonorably discharged, 1978.
Government doesn't keep
records on you after that.
There he is. Right there.
Right next to Tobin
Marris. What's that from?
That's the Enrico Fermi
Institute of Nuclear Studies,
class of '64.
You have an address?
That's the University
of Chicago.
No, no, no. For him.
Now. Ronith Nanda.
[Ken sighs]
[Carl] The elevators
are all operational.
You just need to update
their certificates.
Well, that's great
for moving things in.
Yeah, you'd be
shocked at how much
a dry-erase board
actually weighs.
[laughter]
This is the inspection report?
Mr. Vey, the inspection?
[pensive music playing]
All good.
[chuckles]
[female exec] Everything
looks in order.
Yeah.
[car doors closing]
You know, I never
apologized enough.
I know you didn't mean any
harm in taking us there.
I mean, in college.
I was drunk, and I
was, I was jealous.
And I uh...
You know, I dragged you out
of that party like a hostage.
It was just an ancient accident.
Still the elephant in the room
with your dad and with Andrew.
I mean, an accident
happens once, right?
It's something else
if you keep doing it.
Repetition Compulsion, maybe.
What's that mean?
History repeating itself,
on a personal level.
I caused all this.
Again.
If I wasn't over
what happened then,
why would I be here now?
Come on, let's go.
[seat belt locks]
[sighs]
[car engine starts, revving]
Wait, listen to this.
Indra's Net. It's from a myth.
"The god Indra hung a net
"that stretched out infinitely
"in all directions
and dimensions.
Then he placed a
reflective jewel..."
Your dad said it must
stand for something else.
Wait, wait, wait. They... they
picked this name for a reason.
"Indra puts a jewel at
every point in the net
"so each one'll reflect all
the others on into infinity,
"such that a change in one jewel
always affects all the rest."
I'd hardly call what
we've seen "jewels."
Maybe something in those
experiments is making us,
I don't know, reflect
these other people.
If we need a myth,
we'll stop at a psychic.
I thought we were
looking for a scientist.
[birds chirping]
Hey, you wait here
this time, okay?
If he tries anything, blind him.
No, hold on to it.
Just keep an eye out.
[car door closes]
[unsettling, whimsical

[knocks on door]
[door opens]
[windowpane clatters]
[woman] [on TV] A
recent investigation
by a human rights group...
[windowpane clatters]
Disturbing tactics
employed by Israeli forces.
In addition to heavy
military equipment,
including 2,000-pound bombs
and attack helicopters,
they've been deploying
small, unmanned drones
armed with [indistinct],
machine guns, and
artificial intelligence,
systematically
targeting civilians.
These small killer drones
have been confirmed
in multiple civilian casualties.
These drones are highly
maneuverable and adaptable,
equipped with AI technology
for urban operations.
-[approaching footsteps]
-[woman] [on TV] Tragedy struck
as a small Israeli drone
claimed the lives of two
brothers in a Gaza refugee camp.
Witnesses recounted
the terrifying moment
as an Israeli quad copter drone
opened fire directly
at their tent.
And just an hour later,
another strike, this time...
[continues indistinctly]
[unsettling music playing]
Oh, shit.
[car engine revving]
[suspenseful music playing]
[door opens]
[door closes]
-[Neil grunts]
-[taser zapping]
[explosion]
You did this.
[Ronith] [VO] All of time.
In a single instant.
Did you see it?
Tobin?
Did you see?
You are him.
I knew this day would come.
To reverse what you've done.
I don't know who you think I am.
You! You did this to me.
[distant thud]
-[pepper spray hissing]
-[Ronith grunts]
Neil! Neil!
[Ronith groaning]
What was the Indra Project? Huh?
Talk! What'd that
name stand for?
Inter-Dimensional
Reconnaissance Applications.
What the hell does that mean?
We researched the
military's prospect of
accessing and surveilling
other time periods.
Why do you have a drawing of me?
That's Indra's Net, isn't it?
We named the collider's disk,
God's Eye for Indra.
It detected entangled particles
across space and time,
that still reflect
each other's behavior.
But it showed that we, as
souls, are also entangled.
Like mirrors.
-Answers!
You're a scientist, aren't you?
As were you. In 1978.
I didn't even exist in 1978.
I saw you then in a
man named Tobin Marris.
As I see him in you now.
I didn't know who you
were or where to find you.
Only that someday,
I would have to...
in order to change it.
Change what?
Give me your hand.
I'll show you.
[beam beeping rapidly]
I have already
proven it won't work
at the energy
levels we've tested.
Then we'll press further today.
But I can't be seen as playing
favorites with your research.
They all agree with my results.
You're just having trouble
with my personal ones.
[Aravane] [VO] How long do
you think I can hide it?
I know you love your
perfect equations.
They will shut this project
down if we don't show progress.
And we both know that everything
that we've ever wanted
is on the other side of
this project's success.
Maybe a particle can connect
two different times and places,
but I can't keep being two
different people for you, Tobin.
[tense music playing]
[beam powering up]
Ronith, arc to 30 T.E.V.
All beams.
That's far in excess of any...
I agree with Ronith.
It's reckless.
No more half-measures.
We have too much
else to consider.
Research, to consider.
[knob clicks]
[beam pulsing]
[collider implodes]
[captives mutter]
[people shouting]
[screaming]

[unsettling music playing]
[alarm beeping rapidly]
Did you see it?
We have to take
a step back here.
No. Not now.
Arcing to 40 T.E.V!
-[buttons beeping]
[Aravane] Don't
risk this, Tobin.
[beam powering up]
[explosion]
The day you over
drove the collider,
you became entangled
with Unit 731.
Or better said, you learned
that you already were.
We could not see into
731 like you did,
because only you were
entangled with someone there.
How? Like past lives? What?
One soul, with many
manifestations,
all co-existing at once.
That's what you were exposed
to, and what you've seen.
But only between people
who are entangled,
like you two must be.
And that woman beside
me. Who is she?
You have seen her.
As you should.
The mother of your unborn child.
All she asked was
for your commitment,
but you sacrificed all of us
with your reckless
self-interest.
I've had the rest of my
life to reflect on that day,
but I couldn't stop
you from taking theirs.
[music from headphones]
[approaching footsteps]
Can I bring another one out?
Ah. Yes, thank you.
Where are we going?
We're just bringing
some more clothes
back to Grandma's, honey.
And Garrison offered to help.
[knocks on door]
[door opens]
Hi there. Are you Mr. Bardo?
No. Family friend.
[officer] We came
by several times,
but no one answered.
Were you here last night?
Hi.
What's wrong?
Well, uh, your neighbors
called in an altercation.
Are you Mrs. Bardo?
Is he crazy?
Or am I?
[sighs]
If you decide to file,
you are entitled
to half this house.
That's more to help Wiley
than I'm paying Neil.
There's... [sighs]
there's no time.
We only have a few
days left. Didn't...
[sighs]
Didn't you do
everything for Deidre
to give you one last chance?
I ran away from something
that I should have
faced head-on,
and I accepted that
there was no way back.
I didn't fully commit,
and it caught up to me.
So... [chuckles] No.
[Naomi] What if... we are
connected to these people?
Like part of some
karmic pattern?
What if you do
need to change it?
[Neil] What, are we gonna
change World War Two?
Maybe the visions
are to change us.

[Naomi] We were there.
A part of us was there.
We tried to escape.
[Naomi] We?
They burned you and our son.
[car door closes]
Are you okay? I'm
calling an ambulance.
You okay?
I've just... been
here too often.
Hey.
You all right?
Last thing I ever wanted
was to be in a hospital
with you again.
Maybe people are patterns, Neil.
Who was that woman
on Ronith's wall?
Um, the one who died
with the unborn child?
I keep seeing her in Elena.
You've seen that same boy
in Wiley, haven't you?
If this entanglement is real,
you're reflecting families
who couldn't heal.
But you still have
a living chance now.
I guess we both do.
What?
What's wrong?
[Naomi] Nothing.
The world's a mess and I just...
I started having this total fear
that our kids aren't even
gonna want to be here.
Or mad that I...
I made them suffer somehow.
Like that boy in 731.
Naomi, that... that's
not your responsibility.
No, maybe it is.
Maybe it's all of ours.
Yeah.
Maybe compassion's our
only responsibility.
Look, I don't know how
to say this other than
we've... my friend, Naomi
and I here, we've...
we've been seeing things.
Like floaters?
Quick white flashes?
-No, no.
Like actual hallucinations.
I know your son's injury
has been very stressful,
but hallucinations
are neurological.
Yeah. That's why I want
you to test my eyes.
See if I can be Wiley's donor.
What happened to Wiley, Neil?
[Dr. Boyce] I can
recommend a specialist...
Look, if I'm not well,
I need to know that
my son has options.
I have two daughters.
I can empathize with your
willingness to sacrifice.
It is simply illegal
and unethical
for me to harm a living donor.
There's no harm in just a test.
[car doors opening]
[car doors closing]
Why is Garrison here?
[Naomi] Should I go?
No.
You can judge me
however you want
for what you might see in there,
but I have my reasons
for not telling you.
And it has everything
to do with how...
how I hurt you in college.
Look, if there's
something for me to heal,
it starts with Wiley.
And as impossible as it sounds,
he would've been your son too.
[door opens]
Hello?
Elena?
What's going on in here?
We were just leaving.
[scoffs] Wiley, come on.
-What are you doing here?
-[Elena] Come on, bud.
We gotta go.
Dad?
Hey, bud.
What's he doing here?
You've got a lot of
nerve asking me that.
[Garrison] They didn't
feel safe around you,
just like they don't now.
So I offered to
help Elena pack up.
-[knee strike thrown]
-[Garrison groans]
[speaking in Chinese]
How could you let
him help you? Huh?
He's murdered this family.
You don't know that
yet, but he has.
[grunting and straining]
[Jian speaking in Chinese]
Ah!
Give me the mace!
[Guang and Neil
grunting and straining]
[man speaking in Chinese]
[Elena] Get off my son.
We can't stay here.
[Jian grunts in pain]
[Xifeng screams]
You wanna make my
family your business?
I'll ruin yours!
All that inspection shit
you didn't disclose for
your own kickback...
You screw me, you're
blinding your son.
Yeah?
[strains]
Now you have more
blood on your hands.
Try me.
[indistinct]
[panting]
Wait! Look, he stabbed me.
If there's a pattern,
it's his, just like 731.
Can't you see that?
I saw a man torture his
family, but it wasn't in 731.
[car engine starts]
[panting]
[bangs on door]
Let me in!
This is my house,
motherfucker! Let me in!
Oh yeah?
Yeah, fuck you!
You're gonna tell me everything!
The things Neil's been
seeing, they're real, okay,
because I... I've seen them too.
So has Garrison.
I honestly don't know
which of these two men
you can trust right now.
But there is one
that I think we can.
[Wiley] Where are we going?
[motorbike revving]
[phone ringing]
Dr. Boyce, hey.
What?
How's that possible?
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.
You tell me we have days left,
and I'm sitting here thinking
you're a fucking auctioneer,
waiting for a goddamn
highest bidder, yeah?
[motorbike revving]
[pensive music playing]
[Dr. Boyce] [VO] I can empathize
with your willingness to sacrifice.
It is simply illegal and unethical
for me to harm a living donor.
Ah! [sobbing]
[knocking on door]
This is Neil's wife, Elena,
and their son, Wiley.
My God.
Aravane.
Come in.
[Geiger counter beeping]
Have you done anything to it?
No. What is that?
Geiger counter.
For radiation?
-[Ronith] Yeah.
-Let's go, Naomi.
It was your insight,
to begin with.
That we need some
degree of radiation
to connect back in time.
-Now, Naomi.
-[Naomi] Wait, wait.
Just... just...
just listen to him.
Connect how?
By entanglement bridge.
Irradiated particles on this ID,
from that day back in
1978, are still on it now.
It's the same method
we used to access 731.
Why did they want to connect
to 731 though, of all places?
Because no captives survived.
The government thought
there was little risk in
any timeline disturbance.
Changing the here and now?
Yes, they forbid what they call
the "historical intervention."
Especially on behalf
of a foreign interest.
After the war, they
made a plea bargain
with General Ichiro in exchange
for research on the captives.
Their torture now feeds the
American bio-warfare program.
Okay, I don't understand.
Neil had his eyes tested,
Elena, to be Wiley's donor,
in case something
were to happen to him.
Like it did to a father
in another place, 731.
He couldn't save
his family there,
but I think on some level,
as crazy as it sounds,
he hurt Wiley to heal him.
From Tyrant to Martyr,
the words begin
and end the same.
Enangled ideas.
I've come to learn
that entangled souls
are all caught in the
same spider web of fate.
Neil's actions, like Tobin's...
Tobin's choices, like
your husband's...
they vibrate influence
between them,
both forward and
backward through time.
If any of this somehow caused
Neil to do what he did,
are you telling me
you can change it?
[Ronith] Yes.
Your answer lies in 1978.
[soft chatter]
Hey.
Look, I'm... I'm sorry to
just show up like this,
but I... I have something
very important to show you
about the 4406 property.
[drawer closes]
[phone ringing]
Yeah?
[Garrison] You wanna
return what's mine?
I spoke to the cops.
They know all about you.
[Neil] Oh, so do your buyers.
Now they wanna see it
with their own eyes.
So if you have any
hopes of damage control,
you'll meet us there in an hour.
[groans angrily]
[motorbike revving]
[door opens]
[car engine revving]
[alarm beeping]
[car door closes]
[machine beeping]
Neil?
You lied to me.
There's no other cars outside.
[car approaching]
If there's no donor out there,
the chance that you have
to change Wiley's future
is in here.
I can take everything
from you, Neil.
[Neil] You already have.
[dramatic music]
[motorbike revving]
You're not the victim here.
You brought this upon yourself.
[motorbike revving]
[rapid gunfire]
[Neil] Ah!
[Naomi] Come on.
They're this way.
Whoa! I got you!
Whoa!
Wiley, I want you to know, I'm so
sorry for putting you through all this.
You're the bravest
soul I've ever known.
Um, we've seen
another boy in Wiley.
Him and his family, they
couldn't escape 731.
But maybe they
have a chance now.
[Garrison panting]
Stay there.
What happened? What happened?
Listen to me very
carefully, please.
You have done this before.
When I tell you, you have
to press this button.
We have to get the
system up to 40 T.E.V.
Arc to 40...
Hit each switch.
All beams.
Slowly.
It should still have the
sample we used to access 731.
We'll collide the two.
Neil!
You meet me in the control room.
Let's go.
[indistinct chatter]
[Wiley] Dad?
[indistinct chatter]
Dad!
[Guang/Wiley] Papa.
Papa.
Where's my son?
This timeline is ending.
You're not gonna see him.
He's never gonna see you
again unless you finish this.
[Jian speaking in Chinese]
[alarm beeping]
[speaking in Chinese]
[Neil/Ichiro] No.
That's not who I am.
[masked man shouting in Chinese]

Please forgive me.
[speaking in Chinese]

[Ronith] Now!
[beam blasting]
[Tobin] Arc to 30 T.E.V.
All beams.
No. I don't believe that's safe.
Don't risk this, Tobin.
We've made our sacrifices.
We don't sacrifice them now.
[keys jingling]
[buttons clicking]
No!
[keys jingle]
You're right. Power us down.
[lock unlocked]
Ni hao.
I'm Sora from the
New York Times.
This is my daughter, Corinne.
She'll be translating.
Um, you're Guang?

Mom?
[Naomi/Sora] It's very
nice to finally be meeting
after all the phone calls.
My daughter is taking
Chinese in high school.
[speaking in Chinese]
[Naomi/Sora speaks in Chinese]
Well, I guess we should begin?
You've sacrificed a great deal
to entrust us with your story.
Thank you.
[speaking in Chinese]
[speaking in Chinese]
My understanding
is that your family
was one of the only families,
if not the only family,
to escape from Unit 731.

Well, I guess we're
just going to have to
bait it with something
more delicious, then, huh?
How you doing?
You get a haircut?
No.
Lost our swim meet this week.
[Neil] Oh. Well, they
probably rigged the water.
Sorry I didn't make it, dude.
I'll be at the next
one though, okay?
Hey.
Hey.
[keys jingle]
I still have a key, so.
I'm gonna lift this up
and you push that
little deal right there.
-Okay.
-I'm just gonna lift it up
right there...
-[device sparks]
Aah!
[laughter]
[door opens]
Did you catch it?
Please go inside and
let us finish this.
Dad, you can watch my swim
meet tonight if you want.
It's on GoPro.
I'm happy to stay.
Just... just for tonight.
I don't want you waking up
with something dead out
here in the morning.
There you go. Yeah.
Nice form, dude.
But then, that kid
swims in my lane
and then I swim into his.
So what? Look at that manatee.
What, is he gonna stop
and get lunch on the way?
Geez.
So there's kids on your
team that messed up
way worse than you, right?
Hm.
I don't think so.
[crowd cheering on TV]
[brooding music playing]
[cage clanking]
[thuds]
[Neil] It's actually
the furthest outta town
we've done an inspection
in a while too.
Something industrial?
[Neil] I don't know.
[Wiley] Did you get it?
[Neil] Get what?
The animal.
Oh, yeah, I did.
But you were still asleep,
and it wasn't, so
I had to let it go.
Want me to take you to school?
On the bike? No, absolutely not.
I can run home real
quick and get my car.
-Okay.
-[phone buzzes]
Thank you, that would
actually really help me out.
[Elena] Guess that means
you got your license back?
What is it?
[Neil] Oh, a guy just...
made me a full
offer on the bike.
He wants to come check
it out this morning
before he goes to work.
Wow.
[car revving]
[Carl] In this circumstance,
what's the harm
in knowing a little bit
more than the teacher?
I can't commit to that.
If the buyer is going
to build a school,
it's going to be a
knockdown anyway.
[Byron] Burden of the
inspection is on their side.
[keys thud]
We just don't feel a
need to over-disclose.
I'm sure there's a path here.
-[Byron] Mm-hm.
-[knock on door]
-Hey.
-[Garrison] Hey.
Carl, Byron, this
is my right hand.
Nice to meet you.
-Neil.
-Hi. Pleasure.
Nice to meet you.
-He'll be heading to
your property with me.
I saw the building code file's
classed as "Engineering."
You tell us. Not
sure what it was.
Bought it at auction
from a foreclosed owner.
Third removed from the
original 1978 government sale.
We just flip.
And we won't make you
jump through any hoops.
[laughter]
[rock metal music playing]
Did all the wiring on my own.
Thousand watts. Boom!
That sounds tight.
Man, I got all this
time to myself again
and nobody to
apologize to for it.
Reclaimed my weekend
warrior, bud.
Yeah, I sold my
bike this morning.
No shit?
Is that the last stop
on your apology tour?
-No, I'm good.
-[Garrison] What?
No more "Rockin'
in the Tree World?"
C'mon, there's got to
be one Neil Young song?
"Neils on a chalkboard".
You know what a
diehard my mom was.
All I remember was
those bird feeders.
You didn't ask me inside much.
All those poles in the yard.
One for each month sober.
[Garrison] That's what
I'm talking about.
[pensive music playing]
[Neil] Shit. If they're
bus sing kids out here,
they're throwing 'em under it.
[car door closes]
It ain't your kid,
so what do you care?
Buyers like the land, and
it's the right zoning.
[unsettling music playing]
Six, seven, zero, five.
[chain clanking]
This is the code they gave me.
Let me give them a call.
Uh, climb over and get started.
What if it's electric?
[fence clanking]
It's government. Not prison.
Come on.
[gate clanking]
[door opens]
Whoa-ho-ho. Fucking A.
[door closes]
This place is juiced.
Hey.
You see these bus bars?
-[Neil] Yeah.
Along this inverted T?
This is direct current.
I ain't never seen this
in an office building.
It's like its own power grid.
Let's see if it's any good.
[lever cranked]
[electric powering up]
[door opens]
Man.
-[door closes]
[Garrison] Bet your Wiley's made
sturdier shit with
his Legos, huh?
[Neil] Then you should
come see my apartment.
[Garrison] Selling your bike
didn't earn your keys back?
Well, Elena let me stay
at the house last night.
Had to get a possum
out of the garage.
[Garrison] Look at you
coming to the rescue.
[scoffs]
Well, I guess this is where, uh,
Radio Shack crawled off to die.
Is this some kind of a lab?
Hey, you know, if teach
don't buy this place,
you could sell all this
vintage crap on eBay,
make a killing.
[pensive music playing]
It's like they
just... up and left
right in the middle
of a workday.
Something messed up
must've happened here.
Buyers don't need to know that.
We're putting the
shine on this one.
Come here. Check this out.
Stairwell to nowhere.
No lower levels mapped.
[door opens]
[soft, dark music playing]
[door opens]
[clattering]
[Neil] Did you ask a
code enforcement officer
what this place used to be?
[Garrison] Did I run
down to the courthouse?
No.
Coulda done it with
Deirdre, though.
One-stop shop.
Sorry that's gotten
so ugly, man.
You ever cut and run,
it'll catch up to you.
Last year, I made
her a limited partner
for tax purposes.
-[objects clattering]
Now, she's claiming
half the business.
So...
I need this sale to go through.
[Neil] Must've been
some scientists here.
Can you hear me?
We don't need to file that.
We don't need to file any of it.
[door opens]
[pensive music playing]
[Neil] What is that?
[Garrison] It's
gotta be magnetic.
Flashlight is a battery.
Try your phone light.
It's dead. Totally dead.
C'mon, Mr. 1,000
watts. Check this out.
[Garrison] We don't
know what that is.
Isn't that why we're here?
[indistinct chattering]
[Tobin] [VO]
[whispers] I was there.
[Neil] Garrison?
[loud thud]
Mama!
[speaking in Chinese]
[sinister music playing]
[Neil groans]
[thuds]
[panting]
What the fuck?
Did you see that?
I got you stoned! [chuckles]
Set a mold test. And
let's get outta here.
[mysterious music]
[into phone] How does
that impact your business?
Why would I do that?
That doesn't even
make... excuse me.
Hold on one sec.
Where you been?
I've been waiting out
here for like 45 minutes.
What? I was right behind you.
Forty-five minutes
I've been sitting here.
[into phone] Sorry about that.
Yeah.
I know, but that's
not my problem.
[mysterious music]
[Neil] Well, if you
can't find the space...
[Wiley] I want to.
It's the last time.
Yeah, but it's our first
weekend together in a while.
And your mom doesn't know
I'm letting you ride it.
How about we just
keep it up here?
This is the meet
I lost us anyways.
You didn't lose it.
Not on your own.
Coach Ploch says we're
each part of a team.
[Neil] Yeah.
Well, that's why you don't
pee in the pool, right?
And hey.
We go slow.
[dirt bike revving]
[birds chirping]
[gentle music]
There you go. Nice.
I am so glad I brought
you a change of clothes.
Your mom's gonna kill me.
All right, here we go.
Throttle out. Throttle
out. A little more.
A little more. Just like that.
There you go.
[dirt bike revving]
It's like when you're swimming;
you see that wall coming,
but you don't slow down, you
use your momentum, right?
-[Wiley] Yeah.
-[Neil] Okay.
A little more.
A little more! A little
more! A little more!
[indistinct]
A little more. Here.
[dirt bike revving]

[Tobin] [VO] Arcing to 40 T.E.V!
[Aravane] [VO] Don't
risk this, Tobin.
It's reckless.
[sinister music playing]
[crash]
[dirt bike stalls]
[Neil] Wiley!
Wiley, you okay?
Let me see.
[Wiley moaning in pain]
[siren wailing]
[phone ringing]
How could you do this?
He begged me.
That was our last...
Look, I just wanted us to
do something fun together.
And we took it easy.
Took it easy?
I asked you to
never let him on it.
Ever. He should have never
been on that bike, Neil.
And why was he in front?
Because he wanted to record it.
It was just... it was
just a freak accident.
No.
No, it's not an accident, Neil.
This kind of thing
keeps happening.
[Dr. Boyce] This middle
part of the retina
is called the macula.
It focuses our central vision.
Without it, we couldn't
recognize faces.
What do you mean, "without it?"
Wiley suffered severe
injury to his macula
and he's going to need
corneal transplants.
But matching a donor
could take time.
And that time allows the
maculas to further degrade.
Well, can the "maruta"
just heal itself?
You mean macula.
Do you have
catastrophic coverage?
[sighs] No.
[Elena] Okay, lift
your chin, honey.
Okay, right there.
Good job.
Okay.
You want me to
read you something?
What time is it? I hear birds.
[Elena] Well, it's... it's
Monday morning, honey.
What about school?
You just give me a shout if
you need anything, okay, bud?
I'll be right outside.
-You're staying?
-No.
Daddy has to go to work.
I'm gonna be right
back, okay, honey?
[smooch]
[door closes]
I want to be here to help.
Oh, well, good. You're
gonna have to be now.
Because how else
can we afford this,
if you're paying extra rent?
Wait, you want me to
move back into the house?
It is not about us.
It's about our son.
We sacrifice for him.
Whatever you have to do,
extra inspections, overtime.
I don't care, Neil, just do it.
I'm still selling the bike.
Someone's gonna buy it crashed?
I'll fix it. I'll fix this.
I can call Andrew
about selling our...
our boat.
[punches thrown]
[dial keys beeping]
[Naomi] I was just walking out
and they were already
waiting right there.
[Andrew] We think they were
all from that same fraternity.
Well, I... I think they were.
Andrew, my husband
wasn't there but I, uh,
could show you my office.
[phone vibrating]
[call ends]
I wrote this article based
on accounts of their hazing.
Some near torture.
They were shouting
about what I had written
along with racial
slurs towards me.
When the one stepped in
so close, that's when I...
I used the mace.
Are you able to
work from home or...
someplace else for
the next week or so?
[footsteps]
Hey.
[thuds]
-[knocks on door]
-[Garrison] Yeah.
[door opens]
[Neil] Hey.
There's donuts.
You get those mold
test results yet?
[exhales] Shit.
My bad, man.
Look, I'll head back
and go grab 'em, okay?
These guys wanted to go
to contract yesterday.
You seen that place, right?
Yeah.
[Garrison] More time
we give to the buyer,
more it gives them
second thoughts.
Let's dip for an
early lunch, right?
Then you can head
out and grab it.
Yeah.
Thank you.
Thanks.
[clears throat] All right.
-Salud.
-[glasses clinks]
Salud. To health.
Sure. I'll buy that
before bombing my liver.
Hey, our health insurance
hasn't changed at all, has it?
No. Why?
Well, 'cause Wiley
got hurt pretty bad.
How?
[Neil] On my bike.
You know, it was our last ride
and he really wanted to do it.
And I haven't spent much
time with him lately.
[Garrison] Uh-oh.
You blew your dad badge now.
[Neil] Yeah, I know. I know.
Anyway, the maruta in
his eye got damaged, so.
What's a maruta?
Oh God, I keep
fucking saying that.
The macula. The
macula in his eye.
You know, he comes home from
the hospital today and...
but he still needs pretty
serious eye surgery
and we're not fully covered.
If you have any extra shifts
or anything lying around...
I promised Elena I'd do
whatever it takes, so.
So you faced the music?
I'm trying to, yeah.
Then turn up, pal.
Sounds nuts...
Yeah.
But why are you going to
keep punishing yourself?
The one thing I take
away from my divorce.
You fucked up, right?
Yeah.
Okay, but you copped to it.
So if Elena wants to
still crucify you,
why you gonna help her
hammer in the nails?
Let's get another round before
I bury you in all those shifts.
[door opens]
Hello?
[door closes]
[indistinct chatter]
[Elena sighs]
Hi.
-[Neil] Hey.
Sorry, the inspection
went a little late.
Welcome home, bud.
How you feeling?
[Wiley] Better, I guess.
These pills make me
feel like I'm on a boat.
[Neil chuckles]
Well, we'll get you
up for the real deal
at the lake soon enough, okay?
So you talked to Andrew?
Yeah, um, it was his voicemail.
[sniffles]
We saw Dr. Boyce today
before they released him.
Op-ful-emo-logist.
[Neil laughs]
I can't say it.
It's oph-thal-mol-ogist.
[Wiley] Oph-thal-mol-ogist?
How'd that go? Was
that... was that good?
[footsteps receding]
You all done, buddy?
You want some dessert?
[Guang screaming in pain]
[Wiley/Guang] Why are we maruta?
Maruta?
[Wiley] Mocha chip.
[Neil sniffles]
[door closes]
[sighs] Where was
your inspection today?
Out near the airport.
I'm pretty sure it was in a bar.
I told Garrison what happened.
He said, "Let's get
lunch." You know how he is.
Yeah. I know how he is.
So I decided to stay
in his good graces.
I asked him for some extra
shifts and he said yes.
I just did what you
wanted me to do.
And all I was asking was
how Wiley's follow-up was.
Three weeks.
Till his next one.
[Elena] Nope.
Till our son goes blind.
What?
What about the surgeries?
They can't do them
without a donor.
And that's how long we have.
[Neil] Then how
do we speed it up?
[sarcastic laugh]
What, you think we're
high on the list?
With our insurance
and our finances?
After all the money you
blew when you blew your DUI?
-It was an accident.
-[Elena] Oh, my God.
Okay? And it might not
entirely be my fault.
No, listen.
Of course it's yours.
How long do you
think I can hide it?
I know you love your
perfect equations.
[tense music]
Did you see me just now?
Neil, what are
you talking about?
Look, ever since
this one inspection,
I've been having these...
I don't know, they're like,
like weird hallucinations.
I'm serious!
And that's what really
happened on the bike.
[sighs]
I'm... I'm thinking it
might be some kind of
workman's comp thing I can
get for some extra money.
You have to believe me!
I have never needed to believe
you more than right now.
So help me.
[door opens]
[door closes]
[distant phone ringing]
[keyboard clacking]
[phone ringing]
Andrew.
Hey, man, thanks for
getting back to me.
[Andrew] Sorry it
took me a minute.
We've had a bit of
drama up here lately.
Yeah, I hear you.
Hey, look, man, um...
I need to talk to
you about the boat.
We're thinking about
cashing out our half.
You know, we're not really
up at the lake much anymore.
[Andrew] Actually, Naomi
and I are looking to
get outta town this weekend.
We could dip down
and see you instead.
Oh, yeah. Um... yeah.
If anything, he should have been
behind you on the bike.
And that should be
automatic to you
because you're used to
putting yourself first.
Look, the only
reason I'm doing this
is to talk to him
about selling the boat.
Does Naomi know we're separated?
How is that their business?
Why is she even coming
if the business is
between you and Andrew?
Look, I'm trying to do
everything I can here. Okay?
Do they know what
really happened?
Do they know that you...
[Aravane] ...that you did this.
Elena?
And what type is that?
A 45?
[Neil] No, it's big, so...
Thirty-three!
[Neil] That's right.
Thirty-three because
the smaller the number,
the bigger it is.
Because the number means
how many times it spins.
Thirty-three per minute.
[Neil] That's right.
Come on, let's go.
All right, bud.
Here. You take that.
We'll jam out to some records
when you get back, okay?
I love you.
Love you.
[car engine revving]
[mysterious music]
[car engine revving]
[birds chirping]
And they haven't asked
me to identify anyone,
which I totally could.
[Andrew] All white guys.
I'd be more specific than that.
[Andrew] Cops'll go
to the college admin,
end of story.
If Naomi's story didn't
launch an investigation
on its own merit,
this won't either.
Guess the school's changed
since we were there.
I mean, has it?
Shit's way older
than the Greeks.
Frats are fascist.
A family only
through persecution.
And admin's mostly legacy,
so they'll just turn a
blind eye to it and then...
Anyway, sorry.
How are you?
I'm good.
Where are Wiley and Elena?
Oh, they're, uh, they're
visiting her mom.
They had it planned
for a while, so...
Oh. We were really looking
forward to seeing them.
Ow! Fuck!
Are you okay?
Caveman make fire!
Yeah.
Andrew, Naomi, meet Garrison.
He's the one who sends
me into the caves.
Neil said, uh, karaoke
and I couldn't resist.
Truly the only way to enjoy
sadomasochism in public.
Hey, whatever floats your boat.
[Garrison laughs]
And speaking of boats, we need
to talk, when you get a chance.
Yeah, we will.
So, you're in
commercial inspections?
Ah, in 'em all the time, yeah.
Doomed to haunt big
empty buildings. You?
Oh, corporate consulting.
[Neil] Still telling execs
how to use the Keurig?
You load it, you
push it, you pour it.
[laughing]
A bit more
challenging than that.
Offices I work in,
they're not empty.
[laughter]
Hey, hey. No frat boys
here, please. Okay?
Well, to be fair, we got
animals, homeless squatters.
Right?
We've had some weird
run-ins. Neil, just recently.
I've been hurt One
too many times...
[Garrison] That's
it! That's the voice!
Right there.
Turning our stools here!
Oh, and from Mr. Music
Critic himself.
Oh, God, you remember that?
Of course.
Those articles that you wrote
for the college newspaper
were great.
You should have stuck with it.
No, no, everybody's an
online critic nowadays.
What difference am I gonna make?
[sighs]
Yeah, I could say
that in my articles.
Ever since high school, this one
can hear just one little note,
then tell you the whole song.
Human Shazam.
That's right. You guys
grew up together, right?
Wait, where'd you go when
he was in college with us?
Oh, I went to work.
Come on, you're up.
Come on. Your round.
[Neil sighs]
Five years working for me
before he saved up
enough for school.
And look where it got him.
Journalism's a heroic
field these days.
Mm.
Got yourself a lot of enemies.
Oh, yeah. I'll...
I'll give you that.
We're, um, we're actually
down here because I had
some pretty harsh critics
show up at my office.
Uh-oh.
Yeah.
You got the, uh, kiddos
with a babysitter?
We don't have any,
uh, children yet.
Yeah.
I feel like my parenting
gene left when my, uh,
when my ex took me
to the cleaners.
You seem so familiar.
Dunno. My dad moved
us around a lot.
Um, Army brat.
Must've been kinda tough.
For me?
Yeah, around here.
Kind of. Yeah.
[Neil] All right.
Okay.
Salud.
-[Neil] Salud.
I think you're up next, Gar.
[Garrison] Yeah?
Just tell Andrew to do
mine while he's up there.
No, no. No, you gotta
show some spine, man.
Duet.
Go, go on.
[Neil] Can you chill out on her?
Just talk.
What? You two have history?
No, she has a husband.
You don't need to
make a sport of that.
You really qualified
to referee right now?
Come on. No, no, no.
You said duet. Let's go.
[rock music playing]
[sinister music playing]
[wet squelch]
[sinister scream]
[Garrison groans]
You better get sane fast, pal.
Garrison?
I'm s... Gar?
I'm sorry!
-[Naomi] Wait, what happened?
What'd he do?
Last thing I can risk is
losing is my job right now.
Wait. Neil, what is happening?
[Neil] It only happens
with certain close contact.
All right, let me
get this straight.
People's faces changing?
Are you on something?
[Neil] No.
It's like my... my
vision is distorted.
Have you seen an eye doctor?
[Neil] I'm not gonna ask Wiley's, but it
all started after being in this place.
Then why are you
taking us there?
Not gonna ask Wiley's doctor
what? What doctor, Neil?
[Neil] Elena took him
to her mom's because
I was weirding them out
with all this stuff.
I just gotta do
Garrison a solid.
I left a mold test in
there that he needs, so...
You guys can wait
outside if you want.
No, we're... we're here for you.
You two knock yourselves
out. I'm staying here.
[Naomi] What was this place?
[Neil] I don't really know.
I've seen things
I can't explain.
Lost 45 minutes on my watch.
So, if you see something,
that means I'm not nuts.
[alarm beeping]
[Naomi] Wow.
What a time capsule.
I'd love to do an
article on this place.
Wait'll you see this.
[disturbing, whimsical
music playing]
Probably a good exit cue, right?
[Neil] Try your phone.
My cell's dead.
Wait, I... I have a lighter.
[lighter clicks]
[indistinct chattering]
What is that?
[indistinct
chattering continues]
[vase shatters]
Shuyi!
Shuyi! [speaks in Chinese]
Shuyi!
[Neil] Naomi!
Naomi!
Naomi.
-[Naomi grunts]
-[Neil] You okay?
We gotta get out of here.
[Naomi grunts]
[dogs barking]
[Naomi coughing]
[Andrew] What the hell
happened down there?
You guys were gone like an hour.
[Naomi] You know I never
remember much after a seizure.
We're going to a hotel.
[car door closes]
[Neil] Sorry I risked
us going in there.
[car leaving]
[disturbing, whimsical sounds]
[door closes]
[footsteps]
[door hinges squeak]
[door closes, lock clicks]
[distant creaks]
If that's another
fuckin' animal...
[suspenseful music playing]
I know who you are.
That you've been inside.
That you've seen
through the God's Eye.
I know because I
can see you now.
Who you really are.
Get the fuck out of my house.
[Ronith] I need you to
get me back in there.
Get the fuck out of
my house right now!
Now!
How could they not pull permits?
1977!
HVDC transmission line repair
and reconnect to
Delberg substation.
[keyboard clacking]
HVDC.
High voltage direct current.
Used for loss less
transmission of power.
Applications:
long-distance distribution,
seafloor systems, atomic
particle colliders.
Hey, Gar.
[grunts]
[door closes]
Hey, look, man, I'm...
I'm really sorry about karaoke.
[scoffs]
Everybody's always
sorry after karaoke.
[scoffs] Okay.
I'm... just, you know, all
this stress around Wiley
has got me on edge, you know?
Can I show you something?
Stachybotrys.
Black mold, the same kind
that can cause brain damage.
I think that whole floor
is infested with it.
Same floor that's not
on the blueprints?
Same floor that they're
gonna fill with concrete
to do a new foundation?
So you want me to just
file in the report then?
Gimme that.
You wasted time I
said we didn't have.
I'm not trying to hurt
your deal or anything
but if I'm being honest here,
I think we were exposed
to something down there.
Some mold? You with OSHA now?
No, man, look.
Remember that power
that you found there?
That direct current?
Yeah, it's called HVDC.
And they only use it
in certain places.
I think that place was some
kind of... I don't know.
A particle collider or something
that had a... a meltdown.
[Garrison] Oh, it
had a meltdown.
Look, I know I've
been off, okay?
But it only started after
I was in that place, okay,
and I don't want to make this
some kind of
workman's comp thing
or anything like that.
-You threatening me?
You know how fucking
lucky you are
that you have a job right now?
-[Neil] No.
That's not what I'm doing
here, Garrison. Okay?
I'm just trying to tell you
that we went down there.
It shows you right here...
You think you're gonna
squeeze me like my wife?
Is that what you think?
Just because you
maimed your fucking kid
and you ain't got any
money to pay for it?
No, I'm just trying to do
right by you here, okay?
If they build a school there...
-[Garrison] Oh, oh, oh.
And you don't
disclose some major...
Right, right, right.
Because you're all
about the greater good.
Why don't you worry
about your own kid?
Do your job and I'll do mine.
[Neil] Salud.

[thud]
Wait, 731! It's a place!
What's 731?
The numbers. You
saw them, right?
On... on like a prisoner.
Look, I think it's
touch that causes it.
Let me see your hand.
-[Garrison] Back off! Relax!
Look, just... just tell
me that you saw them!
Okay, ever since
that inspection,
I've been having these things
and I know you're
having them too.
You pull this again, you're out.
Okay?
Get your shit together.
[door closes]
[Elena] I don't know.
You know, every
morning I wake up
feeling like an absolute monster
because I prayed
overnight someone died
so he would have a donor.
That's... that's someone
else's life destroyed for ours.
[knocks on door]
[man] [on TV] ...federation
enters its third year.
According to a UN
Human Rights report,
the human cost of this conflict
has been nothing
short of horrific
with millions of civilians
suffering immensely.
That's the latest
report from the UN.
Hey.
[Elena] Hey.
I, uh, brought you
guys some stuff.
Wiley's pills.
Your mom's in there giving
them to him right now.
She gave me a bit of her
medicine too at the door.
Mm-hm.
[Neil] Naomi and
Andrew left already.
I did get a chance to talk
to him about the boat.
It's worth a decent chunk now.
That's some good news...
I guess. [chuckles]
Why didn't you
tell me they left?
I just wanted to make sure I
had my head back on straight.
[sighs]
We saw Dr. Boyce again.
She asked if she could
see the GoPro in case
it shed light on how he was hit.
I don't understand. Why
did you scream like that?
'Cause I... I... I
s... I saw it coming,
but it was... it was too late.
Trust me, I've been... I've
been riding these things
since I was younger than Wiley.
I know, but just because
you've been doing
whatever reckless
shit you want to do
when you were his
age doesn't mean...
When I was his age, I was
the only adult in the house.
Those bikes were my mom's way of keeping me as
far away as possible for the day, when she...
When she would lock me out.
I just want our lives back.
[door opens]
Wiley.
Thanks, Mom.
Come on in.
Hey, Dad.
Why does the blind octopus
carry eight six-shooters?
Okay.
This doesn't sound
like a very funny joke.
[Wiley and Neil chuckle]
Cuz it can't sea anenome.
Ah, nice. [chuckles]
We'll get you back
swimming with them soon.
Okay, bud?
But Dr. Boyce said I
have to wait a while
till I can swim again.
Well, maybe, what, a
half hour after you eat?
We'll get you fixed
up, right, bud?
[emotional music playing]
[sinister music playing]
[sergeant speaking in Chinese]
[door opens]
[Xifeng speaking in Chinese]
[sergeant speaking in Chinese]
[Xifeng screams]
-Shuyi!
-[Neil] Wiley!
Wiley! Stop!
Wiley, why would
you say that, huh?
Shuyi? Why would you say that?
-[Elena] Stop! Stop! Stop!
What did I say?
How could you know that word?
Honey, you didn't say
anything. It's okay.
Neil, he didn't say anything.
[Wiley clears throat]
Say goodnight to Dad.
Night, Dad.
No asbestos.
Radon and mold look clear so...
I think we're good
on what we agreed.
[footsteps]
[phone ringing]
I'm sorry.
Just give me one second, okay?
Okay.
Hey.
We meet again.
Hi. Uh, is Neil here?
I tried his cell.
Already left.
Uh, something I
can answer for you?
I'll just try him at home.
Hey, I'm really sorry, uh,
cutting our concert
short the other night.
It's good.
Neil's just been
pretty triggered
since hurting Wiley.
What do you mean?
He didn't tell you?
He feels ashamed.
Um, I'm with clients right now.
But I would love, um, to
sidebar with you later
and we can discuss it all
if you want to give
me your number.
I think I should just,
um, hear it from Neil.
Fair enough.
Um, if you see him, denial's
not doing him any favors.
It's really good to see you.
[sinister music playing]
[Xifeng speaking in Chinese]
[speaking in Chinese]
[Xifeng speaks in Chinese]
[screaming]
[panting]
[screams]
[convulsing]
Nine-one-one.
No, no, no.
[breathing heavily]
No.
Did he take you
in that building?
[Naomi breathing heavily]
[footsteps receding]
[keyboard clacking]
[clanks]
Who are you?
What do you know
about that place, huh?
Answer me!
-[Xifeng speaking in Chinese]
It's me! It's Naomi!
[panting heavily]
Naomi!
Jesus fucking Christ. I'm sorry.
You need to tell
me what's going on.
I keep seeing these...
What, weird images?
-[Naomi] Yes.
-Like hallucinations?
Yes.
And I've had three
more seizures, okay.
One on my first day
back in the office
in front of everybody.
I didn't know what
that place was.
It's a particle collider.
Like nuclear stuff?
[Neil] Yeah.
I didn't know!
-Jesus, Neil.
Look, there's something
I want to show you.
That guy keeps following me.
What?
Stay here.
[door opens]
Andrew?
Just snuggling by the fire?
Big brother's a bitch, huh?
You can't find any
privacy these days.
You got a lot of nerve
calling me with some sob story
about needing
money from the boat
when you're sitting around
having reunion number two
with my wife.
-We were just talking.
You know all the
medicines she has to take
on the other side of a seizure?
You have any idea
how that is impacting our own
personal plans for a family?
Because you did this
to her all over again.
I just came by
because I was worried.
Bet Elena's not here, is she?
She's always been
the backup anyway.
I love my wife,
just like you do.
So let's not say some shit
we're gonna regret, okay?
[Andrew] Regret?
You didn't quite get the
life you wanted, did you?
[Naomi] Andrew, enough!
You want a little more
private time? Fine.
Oh, uh, and Neil,
about the boat.
I sold a guy at work
one of the outboards
since we're not using it.
That's half its value!
You knew how important
that was to me.
It shouldn't be.
You've always been more of
a secondhand man anyway.
[punch thrown]
Andrew! Stop! Enough!
Okay, enough.
You two have at it.
Maybe he'll pin you to
a telephone pole again.
Oh, shit. You okay?
[screaming in pain]
You saw it!
It's touch that causes
it. Lemme see your hand.
Stop! Do you want me to
have another seizure?
You can push your agenda
to shove sometimes.
Look, just tell me you saw it.
A sick child?
Some kind of symbol on
his arm or something?
Yeah. You know what
that symbol means?
Of course not.
You're scaring me.
It means plague. "Shuyi."
It's the same word
I heard you say
when you were inside that place.
Look, there's got to be
an answer to all of this.
I need your help.
The word "maruta"
kept coming to me
along with the number 7-3-1.
So, maybe we can
start with that.
[keyboard clacking]
That's it there.
[Naomi] "Unit 731
was a detachment of"
"Japan's Kwantung Army
"that conducted
bio-warfare testing
"in northeastern China
during World War Two.
"Their facility housed war
crime experiments on POWs
"and the local Chinese were
forced to build the site.
"Captives were
inhumanely referred to
as marutas, or logs."
Oh my god, this is awful.
"General Ichiro Kagami
presided over the..."
-[Neil] I've seen him.
-[Naomi] What?
-[Neil] In Garrison.
I've seen all of this
through contact with him.
[Naomi] "Victims were routinely
exposed to radiation testing",
"frostbite experiments,
and lethal pathogens
like bubonic plague."
Oh, Jesus.
[Neil] Oh, here.
I also found this at
that place I brought you,
and there must be
some connection.
So if we can find him
or maybe something about
what they were working on,
we can get some answers.
[sighs] I think I
gotta go home, Neil.
Do you really want
to be around Andrew
in this state of mind?
Mine or his?
You have research skills
and access that I don't.
And I keep seeing the
same woman in you.
So what?
Just because I have
Japanese ancestry,
that tunnel somehow karmically
connected me to her?
I'm grasping at straws here.
[sighs] There is such a
thing as generational trauma
that punishes us for events that
we didn't even live through.
But I am pretty sure
there is no such thing
as racially profiled
reincarnation.
[Neil] Wait.
I have his license plate.
That guy who's been following me
before he broke into my house.
You didn't tell me that.
I didn't want to scare you.
Yeah, you're crushing
it with that.
Maybe we can find
the registration.
[birds chirping]
Thank you for
meeting me so early.
No worries.
It's hard for me to
get away... with Wiley.
Were you with Neil this weekend?
With his college friends?
You needed me here to ask that?
I'm trying to figure
out what's going on.
Something's very
wrong, Garrison.
It's a really hard time for you.
And I know that Neil
has never been wild
about taking responsibility.
But I have my own
as his employer.
Has he told you how
much this costs?
Yeah. Yeah.
When he tried to extort me.
What do you mean?
He threatened me,
and then he created this
story about hallucinating
after we had spent an
hour around some mold.
[exhales] Wiley might go blind.
I understand how you must feel.
No, you don't. You
don't have kids.
I was always worried
they would get hurt.
Neil's job is the
only solid ground
we have right now.
I am begging you.
Please don't take
that away from my son.
Wiley!
Oh, bud.
You remember Dad's
boss, Garrison?
Say hi.
Hey, Wiley.
[Wiley] Hey.
I hear you're gonna
be all better soon.
[Guang speaking in Chinese]
[speaking in Chinese]
[speaking in Chinese]
[door opens]
[speaking in Chinese]
[Ichiro speaking in Chinese]
[Jian speaking in Chinese]
I brought this upon you.
[unsettling music playing]
[door closes]
[breathing heavily]
Why did you just say that?
That you brought this upon us?
I, uh...
Maybe, um, maybe I was a
little too harsh on, um,
on your situation.
I... I would like to
help out however I can.
[whispers] Are you seeing what
Neil's been talking about?
No.
[Neil] How can you
have no public records
other than a ten-year
expired registration?
Staying off the grid? I dunno.
Well, he wore a mask,
so obviously, he
doesn't wanna be found.
But this Ronith Nanda, he...
he's gotta know something.
We'd need government records.
What about your dad?
[Naomi] No, absolutely not.
I'm sure he still thinks
I'm a curse around you, but,
I mean, he could still...
-Your mother wasn't
real Kumbaya towards me either.
Yeah, but you didn't give
her any reason for that.
I gave your dad one.
But I mean, still, if he has
his government clearance...
No, I don't want him
knowing anything about this.
[Neil] Well, then
how are we going to?
I mean, it could take us
weeks to follow threads
that lead us absolutely nowhere.
He's two miles away.
[car door opens]
-[car door closes]
-[Naomi sighs]
[Neil] Why was Japan
even at war with China?
[Naomi] They had all
these internal debts
after World War One,
and the only way to step
forward as a global power
was another war.
Manchuria had all
these natural resources
and forced labor they
needed to compete,
so they took it hostage.
Just keep the X-Files
stuff to a minimum, okay?
[car doors opening]
The new paint out there
looks great, Mr. Tanaka.
Yeah, you haven't been
around here for a while, huh?
Still inspecting properties?
That's why we're here, Dad.
[Neil sighs]
He worked for a
building I inspected,
and we think he was some
kind of military scientist.
We think?
What's your hand in this?
I tried to help
with public records,
but we need someone
with clearance.
Yeah, they want
to build a school
so we're just trying
to make sure it's safe.
R. Marris.
S. Marris.
[Neil] Right there. T. Marris.
[Ken] Ah. Died...
Boyleston VA hospital in 1978.
[keyboard clacking]
He presided over
the Indra Project,
officially disbanded in 1978.
Same year Marris died.
This is Air Force.
[Naomi] I-N-D-R-A?
It's some Hindu god.
[Ken] Uh, it's an
acronym probably, honey.
[Naomi] Can you
see into the files?
-[mouse clicks]
-[Ken] No fly zone.
If I can't get into this file,
why the hell do you
want to get into it?
[Neil] We think that something
might have happened there,
you know, that might rule
out the new build, so.
You show up here
with a black eye,
my daughter in your car, again,
after God knows how many years.
My coffee's getting cold.
Wait, Dad, please.
It's important.
The license plate. Show him.
We couldn't find
anything on them.
[keyboard clacking]
Ronith Nanda. Also
Indra Project.
What does it say?
Ah, there's nothing good.
His DD 214 says he was
dishonorably discharged, 1978.
Government doesn't keep
records on you after that.
There he is. Right there.
Right next to Tobin
Marris. What's that from?
That's the Enrico Fermi
Institute of Nuclear Studies,
class of '64.
You have an address?
That's the University
of Chicago.
No, no, no. For him.
Now. Ronith Nanda.
[Ken sighs]
[Carl] The elevators
are all operational.
You just need to update
their certificates.
Well, that's great
for moving things in.
Yeah, you'd be
shocked at how much
a dry-erase board
actually weighs.
[laughter]
This is the inspection report?
Mr. Vey, the inspection?
[pensive music playing]
All good.
[chuckles]
[female exec] Everything
looks in order.
Yeah.
[car doors closing]
You know, I never
apologized enough.
I know you didn't mean any
harm in taking us there.
I mean, in college.
I was drunk, and I
was, I was jealous.
And I uh...
You know, I dragged you out
of that party like a hostage.
It was just an ancient accident.
Still the elephant in the room
with your dad and with Andrew.
I mean, an accident
happens once, right?
It's something else
if you keep doing it.
Repetition Compulsion, maybe.
What's that mean?
History repeating itself,
on a personal level.
I caused all this.
Again.
If I wasn't over
what happened then,
why would I be here now?
Come on, let's go.
[seat belt locks]
[sighs]
[car engine starts, revving]
Wait, listen to this.
Indra's Net. It's from a myth.
"The god Indra hung a net
"that stretched out infinitely
"in all directions
and dimensions.
Then he placed a
reflective jewel..."
Your dad said it must
stand for something else.
Wait, wait, wait. They... they
picked this name for a reason.
"Indra puts a jewel at
every point in the net
"so each one'll reflect all
the others on into infinity,
"such that a change in one jewel
always affects all the rest."
I'd hardly call what
we've seen "jewels."
Maybe something in those
experiments is making us,
I don't know, reflect
these other people.
If we need a myth,
we'll stop at a psychic.
I thought we were
looking for a scientist.
[birds chirping]
Hey, you wait here
this time, okay?
If he tries anything, blind him.
No, hold on to it.
Just keep an eye out.
[car door closes]
[unsettling, whimsical
music playing]
[knocks on door]
[door opens]
[windowpane clatters]
[woman] [on TV] A
recent investigation
by a human rights group...
[windowpane clatters]
Disturbing tactics
employed by Israeli forces.
In addition to heavy
military equipment,
including 2,000-pound bombs
and attack helicopters,
they've been deploying
small, unmanned drones
armed with [indistinct],
machine guns, and
artificial intelligence,
systematically
targeting civilians.
These small killer drones
have been confirmed
in multiple civilian casualties.
These drones are highly
maneuverable and adaptable,
equipped with AI technology
for urban operations.
-[approaching footsteps]
-[woman] [on TV] Tragedy struck
as a small Israeli drone
claimed the lives of two
brothers in a Gaza refugee camp.
Witnesses recounted
the terrifying moment
as an Israeli quad copter drone
opened fire directly
at their tent.
And just an hour later,
another strike, this time...
[continues indistinctly]
[unsettling music playing]
Oh, shit.
[car engine revving]
[suspenseful music playing]
[door opens]
[door closes]
-[Neil grunts]
-[taser zapping]
[explosion]
You did this.
[Ronith] [VO] All of time.
In a single instant.
Did you see it?
Tobin?
Did you see?
You are him.
I knew this day would come.
To reverse what you've done.
I don't know who you think I am.
You! You did this to me.
[distant thud]
-[pepper spray hissing]
-[Ronith grunts]
Neil! Neil!
[Ronith groaning]
What was the Indra Project? Huh?
Talk! What'd that
name stand for?
Inter-Dimensional
Reconnaissance Applications.
What the hell does that mean?
We researched the
military's prospect of
accessing and surveilling
other time periods.
Why do you have a drawing of me?
That's Indra's Net, isn't it?
We named the collider's disk,
God's Eye for Indra.
It detected entangled particles
across space and time,
that still reflect
each other's behavior.
But it showed that we, as
souls, are also entangled.
Like mirrors.
-Answers!
You're a scientist, aren't you?
As were you. In 1978.
I didn't even exist in 1978.
I saw you then in a
man named Tobin Marris.
As I see him in you now.
I didn't know who you
were or where to find you.
Only that someday,
I would have to...
in order to change it.
Change what?
Give me your hand.
I'll show you.
[beam beeping rapidly]
I have already
proven it won't work
at the energy
levels we've tested.
Then we'll press further today.
But I can't be seen as playing
favorites with your research.
They all agree with my results.
You're just having trouble
with my personal ones.
[Aravane] [VO] How long do
you think I can hide it?
I know you love your
perfect equations.
They will shut this project
down if we don't show progress.
And we both know that everything
that we've ever wanted
is on the other side of
this project's success.
Maybe a particle can connect
two different times and places,
but I can't keep being two
different people for you, Tobin.
[tense music playing]
[beam powering up]
Ronith, arc to 30 T.E.V.
All beams.
That's far in excess of any...
I agree with Ronith.
It's reckless.
No more half-measures.
We have too much
else to consider.
Research, to consider.
[knob clicks]
[beam pulsing]
[collider implodes]
[captives mutter]
[people shouting]
[screaming]
[speaking in Chinese]
[sobbing]
[unsettling music playing]
[alarm beeping rapidly]
Did you see it?
We have to take
a step back here.
No. Not now.
Arcing to 40 T.E.V!
-[buttons beeping]
[Aravane] Don't
risk this, Tobin.
[beam powering up]
[explosion]
The day you over
drove the collider,
you became entangled
with Unit 731.
Or better said, you learned
that you already were.
We could not see into
731 like you did,
because only you were
entangled with someone there.
How? Like past lives? What?
One soul, with many
manifestations,
all co-existing at once.
That's what you were exposed
to, and what you've seen.
But only between people
who are entangled,
like you two must be.
And that woman beside
me. Who is she?
You have seen her.
As you should.
The mother of your unborn child.
All she asked was
for your commitment,
but you sacrificed all of us
with your reckless
self-interest.
I've had the rest of my
life to reflect on that day,
but I couldn't stop
you from taking theirs.
[music from headphones]
[approaching footsteps]
Can I bring another one out?
Ah. Yes, thank you.
Where are we going?
We're just bringing
some more clothes
back to Grandma's, honey.
And Garrison offered to help.
[knocks on door]
[door opens]
Hi there. Are you Mr. Bardo?
No. Family friend.
[officer] We came
by several times,
but no one answered.
Were you here last night?
Hi.
What's wrong?
Well, uh, your neighbors
called in an altercation.
Are you Mrs. Bardo?
Is he crazy?
Or am I?
[sighs]
If you decide to file,
you are entitled
to half this house.
That's more to help Wiley
than I'm paying Neil.
There's... [sighs]
there's no time.
We only have a few
days left. Didn't...
[sighs]
Didn't you do
everything for Deidre
to give you one last chance?
I ran away from something
that I should have
faced head-on,
and I accepted that
there was no way back.
I didn't fully commit,
and it caught up to me.
So... [chuckles] No.
[Naomi] What if... we are
connected to these people?
Like part of some
karmic pattern?
What if you do
need to change it?
[Neil] What, are we gonna
change World War Two?
Maybe the visions
are to change us.
[birds chirping]
[rumble of vehicles]

[Jian grunts]
[Xifeng crying]
-[Naomi groaning]
-[car horn blaring]
[Naomi] We were there.
A part of us was there.
We tried to escape.
[Naomi] We?
They burned you and our son.
[car door closes]
Are you okay? I'm
calling an ambulance.
You okay?
I've just... been
here too often.
Hey.
You all right?
Last thing I ever wanted
was to be in a hospital
with you again.
Maybe people are patterns, Neil.
Who was that woman
on Ronith's wall?
Um, the one who died
with the unborn child?
I keep seeing her in Elena.
You've seen that same boy
in Wiley, haven't you?
If this entanglement is real,
you're reflecting families
who couldn't heal.
But you still have
a living chance now.
I guess we both do.
What?
What's wrong?
[Naomi] Nothing.
The world's a mess and I just...
I started having this total fear
that our kids aren't even
gonna want to be here.
Or mad that I...
I made them suffer somehow.
Like that boy in 731.
Naomi, that... that's
not your responsibility.
No, maybe it is.
Maybe it's all of ours.
Yeah.
Maybe compassion's our
only responsibility.
Look, I don't know how
to say this other than
we've... my friend, Naomi
and I here, we've...
we've been seeing things.
Like floaters?
Quick white flashes?
-No, no.
Like actual hallucinations.
I know your son's injury
has been very stressful,
but hallucinations
are neurological.
Yeah. That's why I want
you to test my eyes.
See if I can be Wiley's donor.
What happened to Wiley, Neil?
[Dr. Boyce] I can
recommend a specialist...
Look, if I'm not well,
I need to know that
my son has options.
I have two daughters.
I can empathize with your
willingness to sacrifice.
It is simply illegal
and unethical
for me to harm a living donor.
There's no harm in just a test.
[car doors opening]
[car doors closing]
Why is Garrison here?
[Naomi] Should I go?
No.
You can judge me
however you want
for what you might see in there,
but I have my reasons
for not telling you.
And it has everything
to do with how...
how I hurt you in college.
Look, if there's
something for me to heal,
it starts with Wiley.
And as impossible as it sounds,
he would've been your son too.
[door opens]
Hello?
Elena?
What's going on in here?
We were just leaving.
[scoffs] Wiley, come on.
-What are you doing here?
-[Elena] Come on, bud.
We gotta go.
Dad?
Hey, bud.
What's he doing here?
You've got a lot of
nerve asking me that.
[Garrison] They didn't
feel safe around you,
just like they don't now.
So I offered to
help Elena pack up.
-[knee strike thrown]
-[Garrison groans]
[speaking in Chinese]
How could you let
him help you? Huh?
He's murdered this family.
You don't know that
yet, but he has.
[grunting and straining]
[Jian speaking in Chinese]
Ah!
Give me the mace!
[Guang and Neil
grunting and straining]
[man speaking in Chinese]
[Elena] Get off my son.
We can't stay here.
[Jian grunts in pain]
[Xifeng screams]
You wanna make my
family your business?
I'll ruin yours!
All that inspection shit
you didn't disclose for
your own kickback...
You screw me, you're
blinding your son.
Yeah?
[strains]
Now you have more
blood on your hands.
Try me.
[indistinct]
[panting]
Wait! Look, he stabbed me.
If there's a pattern,
it's his, just like 731.
Can't you see that?
I saw a man torture his
family, but it wasn't in 731.
[car engine starts]
[panting]
[bangs on door]
Let me in!
This is my house,
motherfucker! Let me in!
Oh yeah?
Yeah, fuck you!
You're gonna tell me everything!
The things Neil's been
seeing, they're real, okay,
because I... I've seen them too.
So has Garrison.
I honestly don't know
which of these two men
you can trust right now.
But there is one
that I think we can.
[Wiley] Where are we going?
[motorbike revving]
[phone ringing]
Dr. Boyce, hey.
What?
How's that possible?
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.
You tell me we have days left,
and I'm sitting here thinking
you're a fucking auctioneer,
waiting for a goddamn
highest bidder, yeah?
[motorbike revving]
[pensive music playing]
[Dr. Boyce] [VO] I can empathize
with your willingness to sacrifice.
It is simply illegal and unethical
for me to harm a living donor.
Ah! [sobbing]
[knocking on door]
This is Neil's wife, Elena,
and their son, Wiley.
My God.
Aravane.
Come in.
[Geiger counter beeping]
Have you done anything to it?
No. What is that?
Geiger counter.
For radiation?
-[Ronith] Yeah.
-Let's go, Naomi.
It was your insight,
to begin with.
That we need some
degree of radiation
to connect back in time.
-Now, Naomi.
-[Naomi] Wait, wait.
Just... just...
just listen to him.
Connect how?
By entanglement bridge.
Irradiated particles on this ID,
from that day back in
1978, are still on it now.
It's the same method
we used to access 731.
Why did they want to connect
to 731 though, of all places?
Because no captives survived.
The government thought
there was little risk in
any timeline disturbance.
Changing the here and now?
Yes, they forbid what they call
the "historical intervention."
Especially on behalf
of a foreign interest.
After the war, they
made a plea bargain
with General Ichiro in exchange
for research on the captives.
Their torture now feeds the
American bio-warfare program.
Okay, I don't understand.
Neil had his eyes tested,
Elena, to be Wiley's donor,
in case something
were to happen to him.
Like it did to a father
in another place, 731.
He couldn't save
his family there,
but I think on some level,
as crazy as it sounds,
he hurt Wiley to heal him.
From Tyrant to Martyr,
the words begin
and end the same.
Enangled ideas.
I've come to learn
that entangled souls
are all caught in the
same spider web of fate.
Neil's actions, like Tobin's...
Tobin's choices, like
your husband's...
they vibrate influence
between them,
both forward and
backward through time.
If any of this somehow caused
Neil to do what he did,
are you telling me
you can change it?
[Ronith] Yes.
Your answer lies in 1978.
[soft chatter]
Hey.
Look, I'm... I'm sorry to
just show up like this,
but I... I have something
very important to show you
about the 4406 property.
[drawer closes]
[phone ringing]
Yeah?
[Garrison] You wanna
return what's mine?
I spoke to the cops.
They know all about you.
[Neil] Oh, so do your buyers.
Now they wanna see it
with their own eyes.
So if you have any
hopes of damage control,
you'll meet us there in an hour.
[groans angrily]
[motorbike revving]
[door opens]
[car engine revving]
[alarm beeping]
[car door closes]
[machine beeping]
Neil?
You lied to me.
There's no other cars outside.
[car approaching]
If there's no donor out there,
the chance that you have
to change Wiley's future
is in here.
I can take everything
from you, Neil.
[Neil] You already have.
[dramatic music]
[motorbike revving]
You're not the victim here.
You brought this upon yourself.
[motorbike revving]
[rapid gunfire]
[Neil] Ah!
[Naomi] Come on.
They're this way.
Whoa! I got you!
Whoa!
Wiley, I want you to know, I'm so
sorry for putting you through all this.
You're the bravest
soul I've ever known.
Um, we've seen
another boy in Wiley.
Him and his family, they
couldn't escape 731.
But maybe they
have a chance now.
[Garrison panting]
Stay there.
What happened? What happened?
Listen to me very
carefully, please.
You have done this before.
When I tell you, you have
to press this button.
We have to get the
system up to 40 T.E.V.
Arc to 40...
Hit each switch.
All beams.
Slowly.
It should still have the
sample we used to access 731.
We'll collide the two.
Neil!
You meet me in the control room.
Let's go.
[indistinct chatter]
[Wiley] Dad?
[indistinct chatter]
Dad!
[Guang/Wiley] Papa.
Papa.
Where's my son?
This timeline is ending.
You're not gonna see him.
He's never gonna see you
again unless you finish this.
[Jian speaking in Chinese]
[alarm beeping]
[speaking in Chinese]
[Neil/Ichiro] No.
That's not who I am.
[masked man shouting in Chinese]
[speaking in Chinese]
[masked man groans]
[Jian speaking in Chinese]
[speaking in Chinese]
Please forgive me.
[speaking in Chinese]
[speaking in Chinese]
[speaking in Chinese]
[rapid gunfire]
[Ichiro screams in pain]
[Ronith] Now!
[beam blasting]
[Tobin] Arc to 30 T.E.V.
All beams.
No. I don't believe that's safe.
Don't risk this, Tobin.
We've made our sacrifices.
We don't sacrifice them now.
[keys jingling]
[buttons clicking]
No!
[keys jingle]
You're right. Power us down.
[lock unlocked]
Ni hao.
I'm Sora from the
New York Times.
This is my daughter, Corinne.
She'll be translating.
Um, you're Guang?
[speaks in Chinese]
[door closes]
[uplifting music playing]
Mom?
[Naomi/Sora] It's very
nice to finally be meeting
after all the phone calls.
My daughter is taking
Chinese in high school.
[speaking in Chinese]
[Naomi/Sora speaks in Chinese]
Well, I guess we should begin?
You've sacrificed a great deal
to entrust us with your story.
Thank you.
[speaking in Chinese]
[speaking in Chinese]
My understanding
is that your family
was one of the only families,
if not the only family,
to escape from Unit 731.
[speaking in Chinese]
