They're gonna bring us up

on charges,

and then Curt will have died

for nothing.

Okay, I'm working on getting

us private security as we speak.

All right,

so, what's the story, okay?

Did this guy mention

where this power cell thing is?

No. No,

he never mentioned anything.

Yeah, well, it sounds to me

like he Doc Browned them.

I'm gonna go sh*t my pants

right now.

Can you fix it?

I don't know.

Okay, I'm...

I'm gonna take Flo home, man.

She's just gotta check in

with her family, man.

Be back in a little bit.

Just do your thing, man.

Do your thing, okay?

So you're leaving.

Yeah.

I don't know

why you're doing this.

Doing what?

Just going on with the show

like nothing happened.

Come on.

Curt, he would've wanted me

to see this through.

Look, I don't know

what's happening to me.

All I know right now

is that something in that room,

it's changing people.

I need to fix it.

I need to figure it out.

It's changing you.

The way that you're combining

those sounds in there,

people are

drawn to them, but...

this is getting

out of your control.

The guy...

I can't stop.

Then I can't stay.

What are you doing here?

She's right.

You're broken.

You can't fix yourself.

You can't fix others.

You can't fix anything.

You're a fraud.

No, you're wrong. I matter.

There's no one

behind that mask.

Who are you? You can't feel.

You've been behind a wall

so long.

That's where

you're going to die.

Yo, B.

B.

Hmm.

You good?

Hey, Danny.

Have any progress

with the scope?

It's close.

But no cigar.

Hey, look, all it's gotta do

is light up and look pretty.

It doesn't even have

to produce any sounds.

We can mix in the stuff

that you already have.

We got a huge show tonight.

No, I know, man. I know.

Cece's gone.

Looks like it's just you and me,

just like old times, my friend.

I got the Beast out back.

When are we gonna be ready

to pack her up?

Whoa, nice, bro. It sounds like

you got it going again.

Yeah, the power's up.

We'll see if she does anything.

You should see

these theories

that these whack jobs

are throwing out.

"Government conspiracy,

UFO, Egyptology."

Whatever the f*** that is.

"Sacred geometry,

astrology."

all the experts

are chiming in on ET Radio.

No way. Check this one out.

Some a**hole says:

"When the horn of Gabriel

sounds,

it will set fire to the sky

and the end of times

will be upon us."

This is f***ing great, man.

Don't I know you guys

from somewhere?

What, you want, like,

an autograph or something?

No, that's okay.

We're fine, thanks.

You can tell Shafer

that there's no deal.

I'm not gonna sell.

We don't work

for Gordon Shafer.

Then who are you?

We're here to observe.

Make sure nobody gets hurt.

Like your friend Curtis Garret,

for instance.

You have a good show.

Did you see the heat

those guys were packing?

FBI, NSA or DOD.

I mean, maybe even...

Maybe even private contractors.

Definitely Uncle Sam.

You know, Shafer, he warned us.

You still wanna go on?

Yeah.

And even if they take

the scope,

I'll still get

one last run with it.

This one's for you,

my friend,

wherever you are.

Transmission in 10...

Nine, eight, seven, six,

five, four, three, two, one.

Curtis.

Hey, Matthew.

You're not here.

Yes, I am.

I'm here.

But you're dead.

They shot you.

I don't think so.

I don't feel dead.

Where are we?

Traveling

through multiple realities.

Just mirrors

within mirrors.

Within mirrors.

I must be dead.

It's not death.

It's transcendence.

All we see or seem

is but a dream within a dream.

Within a dream.

Within a dream.

You've over-corrected.

You've gone the wrong way.

You've gone the wrong way.

The light's in the other direction.

All you have to do

is walk through the door.

Bix. That's right.

Bix. Bix.

That's right. Right. All right.

All right. That's it. Yeah.

Settle down.

All right. All right. Shh.

Calm down.

Deep breaths. Deep breaths.

Holy sh*t, man. Holy sh*t.

I thought you were f***ing dead.

What happened?

Um, the scope exploded,

you went down,

the whole f***ing place

went berserk.

But don't worry,

I got us out of there.

I got us out of there

before anybody could touch us.

What about the scope?

I got the goods.

I got the goods right here.

You okay?

He's alive.

What?

Curtis.

I saw him.

Where?

Somewhere. I...

I don't know.

Look, you took a big shock

to the system, okay?

You're not thinking right.

Why don't you

just take a nap?

I've been somewhere.

Danny, I've seen something

I can't explain.

Settle down, all right?

Shafer was right.

Shafer?

What do you mean?

The Teslascope.

It has the power

to change people.

Danny, it's changed me.

Honestly, bro,

sounds to me like

you're having a psychotic break.

I mean, you're drinking

your own Kool-Aid here, man.

No. No, I'm not crazy.

This is real.

All right, well, let me ask you

this. If this is so real,

I've been around the scope

almost as much as you.

How come I can't see

this big high dimension?

I don't know.

Maybe you're not ready

for it.

So you're telling me that music

from this microwave over here

is gonna make everybody

all starry-eyed

and see rainbows

and unicorns and sh*t?

I don't need you

to believe me.

I need you

to help me finish it.

If he was right about the scope,

why not let Shafer protect it?

No, I can't.

I need to finish this.

I need to put this out there.

Shafer will keep it

for himself.

What if I told you

he offered seven figures?

What?

One-point-three mil

for the scope, as is.

You did a deal behind my back?

Dude, it's a no-brainer.

That thing

is way too much trouble,

and a million bucks is

too much money to f*** around.

We're getting rid

of that thing.

Danny.

I can't let that happen.

No, it's happening.

It's happening right now.

It's a done deal, okay?

How do you think I got the

muscle to get us out of there?

Hey, hey, hey, I understand.

What?

I understand why you want

to sell the scope.

But, Danny, we're not dealing

with this guy. Send him away.

You're a f***ing piece of work,

you know that?

Is there a problem?

No, man, there's no problem.

We're just gonna iron out

some last-minute details, okay?

The scope's not for sale.

We had a deal.

Whoa.

Whoa, what the f***

is with the gun, man?

I'm here to collect

Mr. Shafer's property.

It's not gonna happen.

Look, man, you're just

gonna have to shoot me.

F***.

Are you hit?

We're done now, Danny.

What?

B, no, come on.

B.

Come on, man.

Bix. Yo, stop the car.

All right, I'm sorry, okay?

I'm f***ing sorry, man.

Don't f***ing leave me here.

I'm sorry, all right?

I said I was sorry.

Bix!

Curtis.

I knew you were alive.

Can't kill an idea.

They did try, though.

What about the picture?

It was a fake.

They were just trying to intimidate you.

Once I escaped,

you were their only option.

Hey.

I'm glad they didn't shoot you

in the head.

Me too.

I'm sure they'd like to.

Yeah.

We've both been changed
