- What if I fall on my ass?

- You get back up.

This is it?

- I thought you were made of money.

- Beats your last address.

That's fine, guys.

- Thanks.

- Let's do it again.

- What's your name?

- Joe Monroe.

And what have you been

doing for the last 5 years?

Working in Cincinnati, Ohio,

in a packaging plant.

- Loading boxes in a warehouse.

- Good.

Here's 300 bucks and an

ID to get you started.

- And then what?

- Another 300 next week.

You're on your own.

It's nice.

- There's nothing in the fridge!

- Guess you'd better go to the store.

Something wrong?

No, just looking at the view.

All right.

I'll let you get settled.

He hasn't stabbed anybody in

the eye yet. So, that's a start.

Eden, I want a seratonin

metabolite analysis.

Oh, man, he's oh for eight.

What we'll do if no

one will hire him?

He's into current events now?

- He's checking out the classifieds.

- Impressive!

Yeah, Sully. Sully from inside.

He told me to call you.

you understand?

Why? 'Cause I gotta

buy groceries.

Sully, yes.

All right. Good.

I'll see you there.

- You guys hiring?

- You see a Help Wanted sign?

You in the blue shirt.

Come here.

- What?

- Think I can help you.

You can fill out this application.

- What d'ya wanna know?

- The usual.

I know everything about cars.

Foreign, American, everything.

All you need to know is how to drive

them 10 feet without crashing them.

I could do that.

I'm gonna have to get back to you

for the numbers for references.

Don't worry. Put any number. I'm

the one who makes the phone calls.

Give these away to people who get the

hot wax. You getting the hot wax?

- No, sir.

- He's filling out the application.

It's looking really good.

- Are you a hard worker?

- Very hard.

- Take drugs?

- No. Vitamins, but that's it.

You bullshitting me? I don't

want drug addicts working for me.

I don't take drugs.

Honest. No drugs.

I'll start you at 5,75 an hour,

plus tips.

Go grab a rag and talk to Alfonso.

Tell him Ralph sent you.

- I'll be back at one.

- Thank you.

Here. Better go before

he changes his mind.

- Thanks a lot. I appreciate it.

- Sure.

You Sully's friend?

Do I know you?

I'm Sully's friend.

You got what I want?

You sound like someone

I knew. I think he's dead.

- Some son-of-a-b*tch he was.

- I guess he can be me then.

- What's he doing?

- Looking for us.

I'd say that Lee Ray just took

the hidden out of hidden camera.

Nightmares again?

Can't give you any more.

Doc said two pills a night, max.

Did you ever try these things?

Nah. Soon as I hit

the bed, I'm out.

My daddy used to say that...

an honest man's pillow

is his peace of mind.

Wanna play cards? It's gonna take 20

minutes for these things to kick in.

I'm not supposed to do anything

that could affect your environment.

Winning a hand of cards is

really gonna affect my life!

Come on, I've got this

kick-ass root beer here.

You won't let me have any alcohol,

so I sprang for the good stuff.

All right,

but then I'm out the door.

Cheers.

How long have you been

working with theses guys?

Three years this month.

I used to be a cop in Detroit...

I'm not even supposed to

talk to you. I gotta go.

- Get some sleep.

- No, take it with you.

- It's fine.

- Thanks, man.

What are you wearing?

Really?

Is that all?

I think you are a

very naughty girl.

Sh*t!

Come on, Brock.

I see your goddamn walkie.

The Blue Line for Davenport

now boarding on Track 4.

Dr. Copeland?

It's Norton. We've lost him.

The train is bound to Davenport.

What the hell's he

doing in Davenport?

Sh*t. That's where

Gary Caputo lives.

The guy Lee Ray shot

in the stairwell?

And his brother that testified

against Lee Ray lives there too.

Bill's not here!

Gary?

Bill's not here.

I'm not looking for Bill.

I came here to see you.

I like this commercial.

Who are you?

My name is Joe.

- I don't know anyone named Joe.

- I'm a new friend.

I wanna tell you something.

Long time ago,

somebody hurt you.

Really bad.

They hurt you really bad.

And they want me to tell you they

were really sorry for what they did.

They're really sorry

for hurting you.

It's okay.

No, it's not.

No, it's not.

Here. I got you something.

I got you some stuff. Here.

I don't know what you like

so I got you what I like.

I'm not supposed to

eat too much candy.

- Look at this.

- But I do.

Listen to me,

anything that you want...

if you wanna go see a movie,

go to the park...

whatever you want,

you tell me.

I'll see you again soon.

Was that guy in here?

- He's my friend.

- What do you mean?

- He's gonna take me to a movie.

- What? What's his name?

- I forget.

- You f***ing forget everything!

Where do I know that guy?

You gotta sign the check again.

Here!

- What do I write?

- Jesus Christ...

do we have to go over this

every goddamn month?

Write Pay to the Order of William

Caputo and then you sign it.

I should blow your f***ing brains

out. You and Dimi Vertov.

He sent you, didn't he? You're lucky

I'm gonna give you another chance.

Leave me alone.

You tell him to leave me alone.

You understand? It's over.

Turn the f*** over.

You count to 500.

If I see a f***ing eyebrow

twitch, you're dead!

Don't move, a**hole!

Move a muscle,

you'll be nothing but a bloodstain.

Ya think we weren't

gonna catch up with you?

- What the hell were you thinking?

- I needed to see Gary.

To apologize.

I was coming back.

- Brock is okay?

- Brock is unemployed.

It wasn't his fault.

I had to go see Gary.

I can't sleep.

I had to see Gary.

- I was coming back.

- Here's his train ticket, Doc.

Round trip.

- You were really coming back?

- What else am I gonna go?

You gotta give him his job back.

It wasn't his fault!

- I bet you want him back.

- If anyone figures out who you are...

if anyone knows you're alive, the deal

is off and it's back to the warden.

You understand that,

don't you?

Can I have a pill, please?

Couldn't be!

The man had a return ticket,

for God's sakes!

What he did today was

an act of contrition.

he had no remorse...

and now he's risking

his life to apologize!

- The man is a murderer.

- He was a murderer.

You put a guard in his room,

it'll influence his behaviour.

You can't do it!

If anything were happen,

we're responsible.

Hart-Mercer Pharmaceuticals!

I'll give you one more chance...

then we move on to a different test

subject. Period. End of discussion.

Arlo...

is there something I should know

about the other test subjects?

I've told you.

Any knowledge of their status...

could influence your interaction

with your own subject.

Yes, but I heard a rumour

from one of the post-docs.

Some of the test subjects

have died of liver failure.

If it's true, I should know.

Has your subject shown

signs of liver damage?

No, he hasn't.

The most significant side effects

are insomnia, dry mouth...

persistent feelings of

guilt and remorse.

Nothing here about

liver complications.
