here? I thought Berrisford-

He did! Hettie, where's Cynthia?

- Isolation!

- I know that! But where, which one?

In the B wing! What's

gotten into you?

Berrisford! He's killed 'em!

Call Wasserman!

These damn doctors are

crazier than the patients.

Give me the police. Stat!

- Cynthia, please. Let me see her.

- You're not supposed to be here!

Get out of my way!

Where is she?

Cynthia!

Get outta here. I'm

waiting for Harris.

- There is no Harris.

- You don't understand.

I do understand. Cynthia, I

can't come back, and I need

you to understand something.

Can you do that, please?

To prove a theory, Berrisford

secretly changed

the medication for

everybody in the group.

These drugs are what

drove everybody to suicide.

It's not Unity Fields.

it's not Harris!

It's not you. Do you

understand? Berrisford's

responsible and he's

gonna be treating you!

He wants to control

you, just like Harris!

He can't prove his

theory unless you want

to kill yourself! Do you understand?

He wants you to kill yourself!

You're wrong. He comes

to me. He speaks to me.

There he is now. Jesus, Cynthia, fight

the drugs. Fight the

drugs he gave you!

Did you kill him?

- No, no.

- Oh. Then he won't be coming with us?

Oh, no.

Not where we're going, lovechild.

Here, take my hand. Come on.

Oh, sh*t!

Cynthia? Cynthia?

Cynthia!

Dr. Carmen!

Where's Dr. Carmen?

- Do you see them, Cynthia?

- Yes.

Yes, I see them.

What do you want to do, Cynthia?

What do you want to do?

No!

- Cynthia.

- it's your decision, Cynthia.

It's your choice.

Cynthia.

Choose, Cynthia.

Decide.

Act!

It's so beautiful.

No!

You mustn't be afraid.

Come to me now.

You're mine forever,

lovechild. Unity.

One spirit. One will.

It's time, Cynthia. Now.

Cynthia. Cynthia. Cynthia!

Open your eyes!

Cynthia. Cynthia!

Open your eyes.

Cynthia. Cynthia, wake up.

Cynthia, wake up!

You've gotta help me now!

Pull yourself up! Help me!

All that matters is our love at Unity.

No.

- There's nothing for me here.

- I'm here for you, you stay for me!

- Come on and pull yourself up!

- Cynthia, what do you see?

- Eternal bliss!

- Eternal bliss.

Who's there, Cynthia? Who's

waiting for you? Friends.

No! Don't listen to him.

They didn't care about you. They

didn't love you. I love you!

I'll go with you but

I won't let you go!

Look at him. Look at him!

It's Berrisford! Come on, Cynthia.

Look at him. Look!

Look at him! Now help me.

I can't do it alone, you help me!

Pull yourself up!

Try! That's it. Come on.

Come on! A little more.

Come on!

Alex, let her go.

She's made her choice.

You can't bring her back.

It's a futile, empty gesture.

- F*** you.

- That's the wrong answer, Alex.

No!

Alright, what the hell's going

on up here? Come on!

How in the hell did

they get down there?

Lieutenant, I'm glad you're here.

Alex was caught red-handed.

I came to look for Cynthia, I

found him trying to push her

Wait. Wait a minute. Wait a minute.

You mean he's been-

Yes! Yes, he's

the one, he orchestrated this, raised

the medication, he to whom I passed on

the torch. He arranged

the whole thing, he

arranged the switched

medicines, he used

these people for experiments.

No! No. He's responsible. He did

this. My hand. He did everything.

- Jesus, he tried to kill us!

- Oh, Alex, Alex, Alex.

Don't do it!

Do it.

Wrong again, Alex.

No!

It's alright. It's alright.

It was Berrisford.

There is no Harris.

There's nothing there!

There's nothing to

be scared of. Alright?

You don't have to be afraid.

You don't have to be afraid anymore.
