Hey.

I always like things

that look good.

Any relapses from the other day?

It's under control.

You saw the dresser.

You're not crawling the walls.

There's hope for mankind yet.

If we're lucky.

Forget the rumors.

We are not ceasing

operation of this lab.

The department feels that,

even with Dr. Sutree's absence,

the importance of the work

demands that we continue.

The last thing any of us want

is for the research community

to perceive that we

have dropped the ball.

Ram, call me when you hear this.

I'll be visiting my mother.

Thanks.

What's that on the

board over there?

Ram.

We formalized

what Dr, sutree was

doing at the time

of the lab accident.

This formula is for a gaseous

substance that he created.

Once it distilled, it

cooled into a liquid.

Was the liquid used to coat

special lenses or something

like that?

Dr. sutree applied the

liquid directly into his eyes.

Where's this liquid now?

It's gone.

It used to be in the cabinet.

Any idea who might

have taken it?

We know it wasn't Dr. sutree,

because the door is open.

I don't follow.

He can't stand anything

left open... doors, drawers,

or anything out of its place.

This is a backup

pair of the goggle

we developed as a delivery

mechanism for the liquid.

They're used to apply small

dosage directly onto the eyes.

How long before it takes effect?

Within an hour.

Here's what I want

the both of you to do.

Immediately create a

new batch of liquid.

Follow the formula and

procedures exactly.

I take it you have all

the necessary supplies.

Actually, it's ready to go.

Then we'll have

something by day's end.

Agreed?

Ok.

If you need help or anything

else, just ring me up.

Sabahu al-Khayer.

Alaikum wa salam.

Mr. Tambel.

Could I have a word

with you, please?

I understand you and Dr.

Sutree had a close working

relationship.

I guess so.

He's been very supportive.

You're near the completion

of your doctorate.

I want you to know

there is no reason

to be concerned with

any interruptions that

might impede your goal.

You have the full support

of this department.

That is very much appreciated.

So the department can depend

on a 100% commitment from you.

105%.

Good day, Mr. Tambel.

Keep up the good work.

What did he want?

Directions to Nambla.

Mr. sutree?

Morning.

Where is she?

We left so many messages.

I'm so sorry.

When?

She was extremely

nauseated and experiencing

a great deal of pain the

day before yesterday.

Her feet and ankles

were swollen.

Dr. Walters here rushed

her to the hospital.

It was her chronic infection.

It finally shut down her

kidneys, and that was it.

If it means anything, your

mother was so proud of you.

She told me she was blessed

to have a son who worked hard,

who was honest, who looked

for ways to help people.

What is this?

It's time to do something

about the 50-ton elephant

in the room.

Sutree has suffered

a major breakdown.

This is bellicose,

even for you, Clayton.

I've never heard of this

happening to a faculty member.

We live in bellicose

times, William.

Whenever something is amiss,

you need to take action fast.

Yes, but this sets a

serious procedure in motion.

A psychiatric ward?

Dr. Doodnaugh agrees.

This is a serious matter.

Azro, don't you think this

is an overly aggressive move?

Based on the video that

Clayton shared with us

and the depositions

of the witnesses,

this is indeed a serious matter.

This man appears to be a

danger to himself and to people

around him.

Depositions?

Depositions are

already in place?

There's too much

potential on the table

to hesitate one second.

Where does this leave Jack?

He'll have some of the

best care available.

The most important

thing is this procedure

protects the university's

interests in the authorship

of the research.

Jack?

You're freaking me out.

You're here in my chapel?

It was my mom's favorite place.

Oh.

My friend, I'm so sorry.

Dear, departed one.

Requiescat in pace.

Please, come this way.

You shouldn't be

standing here alone.

It's ok.

I'm good.

Plus, I asked my research

assistant to meet me here.

So I should stay inside.

Listen, something's happened.

Maybe a breakthrough in this

thing I'm struggling with.

Ram, good.

Your mechanic said this

replacement part should work.

Thanks.

Do you know reverend Halloway?

I do now.

Namaste.

Namaste.

Follow my thinking, Stuart.

Consider your reflection

in the mirror or the sight

of a rainbow in the sky.

Neither is really there.

But the image is projected

on the back of your retina.

You can take a picture

of them with a camera.

But the things I'm seeing

cannot be photographed.

They only exist

here, in my head.

Why in your head?

Remember the onion

you talked about?

What defines why we see it?

Waves.

Light waves.

Waves from all

sorts of directions.

Where they interfere

defines that onion.

You show me it's cosmic

and intimate, all at once.

A beautiful, mysterious

thing full of query.

Light waves are a form

of visible energy.

Somehow, through

the lab accident,

I've become sensitive to other

forms of invisible energy.

You're saying you can see

the very energy of life?

Jack, may I?

When you saw sunny-girl,

what did you see?

She was happy.

Very happy, the

way she always was.

That's her essence, Jack.

You were seeing her

essence... the energy

of the essence of what she was.

Reverend Halloway, Jack has

this very special connection

with one subject we met.

He had one test

session with her.

A homeless musician, Bazemint.

When we first met, I had

an unusually strong vision

with her unlike all the others.

During the session, she

touched my shoulder.

That's when I saw even

more than her essence,

if that's what we're calling it.

I started seeing things

that affect her essence.

Our senses are the

gateway to our mind.

Perhaps now, the

gateway to the soul.

Is a final theory

of consciousness

at hand, a way to translate and

study the metadata of the soul?

The girl you were

studying... when will you

work with her again?

It's not possible now.

Dr. Redfield has

taken over the lab.

With everything that's happened,

it's imperative that you come

up with solid substantiation,

indisputable proof,

of what you have.

Or you're going to be gorged

by a pack of hungry wolves.

How bad is it at the lab?

I can't get in without

Medina or Redfield.

No, I have to get in somehow.

I need to retrieve the flask.

But it's missing

from the cabinet.

Oh, I didn't leave

it in the cabinet.

Dr. sutree, huzzah!

Go pick up Bazemint.

I'm going to drop the

starter in my car.

Stuart, can you

get us into a lab?

Ram can let you know the

specifics on the monitoring

equipment.

I'll make some calls.

Let me know when you're ready.

Great.

Like... like this?

Yes.

Now we wait.

Did you want to go through any

of the analysis on the drives?

We have them.

Were there any handwritten

materials generated?

Those are filed back here.
