What kind of goals?

There are levels.

The levels are goals one can

achieve if they put their mind

To it.

Anyone can do this, they

just haven't been taught.

What level are you at?

Moving from level

to level takes will.

I've grown so much, but I

don't know if

I'm strong enough.

At least not in time.

In time?

For what?

Is something going to happen?

I cannot say.

Why not?

Because I don't know.

Ira tells...

what's wrong?

Who's Ira?

I...

I shouldn't have said that.

A leader?

Ira is the connection between

us and what happens next.

Is he the one who

brought you all together?

Ira is not a man.

So Ira is a woman?

No, Ira has moved

past the human form.

You have to forgive me, but

I'm not sure what you're

Trying to say.

We are all weighed down

by our physical form.

What does that mean?

Each level means a

piece of control.

But that doesn't really

mean anything, does it?

You have to see they're

teaching you in these vague

Terms and unprovable ideas.

No, no.

Control means all

matter loses meaning.

Control of one's self

means control of others.

It even changes the way others

perceive our image, our light.

Our light?

Or do you not see it?

Are you talking

about invisibility?

Have you witnessed this?

I have.

Can you tell me what happens

when you reach the final

Level?

When you become free?

One moves on.

And where do the

people who move on go?

I see they put you in

a room with two beds.

Yes.

Perhaps you and Evelyn would

be more comfortable with the

Queen.

We're comfortable.

It's just i...

I gave her the bed.

Good.

It's one bed, so

I'm on the floor.

We're not moving.

Sure.

What is that smell on you?

I...

I'm not wearing these.

But sweetie, these

are your clothes.

Mom, I don't wear stuff

like this anymore.

I like this one.

I'm not wearing that.

And these.

Go put these on.

Yes, daddy.

Wait, your mother

should go with you.

I'm fine.

Well, she'd have taken

all day if I'd let her.

Um, when was the last

time she wore these?

Teenager, I guess?

16 maybe?

Yeah but, don't you think

they might be a bit young?

What are you trying to say?

Nothing.

My daughter looks

beautiful in these.

When she comes back in you're

going to tell her she looks

Beautiful.

I am not going to say that.

Remember who's paying you.

You look... beautiful.

Okay.

Let's begin.

I still don't understand

what it is we did.

You didn't do anything,

that's the point.

We fed you, we put a

roof over your head.

You make it sound

like an obligation.

Maybe that's because it was.

We're not here to pass blame.

But we all are here

because of her.

We are here for her.

Oh, I can't wait for

this to be over with.

Just give me back my baby!

I'm not going home with you.

Yes you are!

I'm not!

Well slit your wrists right

now then, because that's where

You're going to end up

if all this doesn't stop.

And you'll have

yourselves to blame.

Okay, everybody just

take a deep breath, yes?

I thought you'd

see that I'm happy.

I've never been this

happy in all my life.

We need you home with us.

But I'm afraid of you.

I-I don't think

that's a good idea.

Oh, um...

I...

just...

hi, sorry, we'll keep it down.

Good.

I'd hate to have to

come up there, Ansel.

Do you know who this is?

Uh, yes.

I remember you. The...

dark gentleman from

the parking lot.

Dark?

I mean...

in a mysterious sort

of way, I meant.

How are you Ansel?

How did you know where I was?

You're not trying to

disappear on us, are you?

Disappear?

No, no, of course not.

It's just...

I'm working.

It's a job, and I'm going to

pay terry back,

So that's good news.

So I'm glad you called so

I could tell that to you.

Word is you have

the money, Ansel.

Word is you're shitting

envelopes of cash.

No, no, no.

The envelopes?

That, that, that was per diem.

That was separate.

I don't get paid in full

until the job is completed.

Oh, I believe you Ansel.

Thing is, terry doesn't

believe you,

And he signs my checks.

No, I swear.

I'm coming up there.

Wait.

What if I could

get you half now?

Would that work?

I could, I could get half the

money for you now, and the

Other half when this job

finishes up in three days.

Would that work?

Terry's office.

Be here by nine.

Come alone.

I'm working!

Um,

Paul, could I have

a word with you?

I'm right here.

Oh, um, I'd really prefer it

if we could speak privately.

Okay, uh, this is

going to sound...

um, I promise you nothing

funny is going on.

Nothing better be going on.

Well, there isn't.

I need half of the

remainder of the money now.

But we're not halfway through

the process.

I...

I would not be asking if it

were not an extraordinary

Circumstance.

So something is going on.

Yes.

I mean, no.

N-Not here, no.

What do you want the money for?

Who was on the phone?

No one.

My manager.

I have an investment with

him that needs my attention.

The money is for that.

I could get a wire transfer.

I need cash.

Ten thousand dollars cash?

And I have to go

back to the city.

Oh, you want me to give you

ten grand and let you

Drive off.

Do you think I'm stupid?

I am asking you this favor.

I will help your daughter...

but I have to take

care of this first.

When will you be back?

Tomorrow.

By sunrise.

You have my word.

This from the man who told

me he no longer gives a sh*t.

Uh, Evelyn, come here.

Go to the office.

In the safe, there

are two bundles.

Take one of them and

bring it back here.

Yes dear.

Now.

I think it would be good if

maybe she slept in here with

Claire tonight.

We're comfortable.

No, I was thinking just Evelyn.

I don't...

trust where we're at yet.

But I don't trust her

alone with my wife.

I'll stay with her.

No!

Sorry.

Would it make you feel

better if she slept in there?

You want to lock my

daughter in the bathroom?

It would just be for the night.

I'll stay with her.

No.

She just...

I want to avoid confrontation

of any sort while I'm away.

And the two of you have

already butted heads, so...

both of you should

stay with her.

You and Evelyn.

Just keep her in there, please.

That way, nothing will happen.

It's the safest place for her.

I promise.

We cannot let her leave.

Where are you going?

Oh, uh...

nowhere, it's just...

it's, it's for tonight.

Don't.

I'll see you in the morning.

And remember...

perfect, that was just so nice.

You're early.

Okay, one,

- Have a seat.

- Two, and...

oh, that's so beautiful.

One, two, and...

that was so nice.

Let's do one with him kissing

his darling right on the

Cheek.

There you go.

Aw, that's lovely.

One, two, and...

beautiful.

Beautiful.

I think that's it.

I think we got it.

Just go right on in there.

No, uh, listen, I-I'm going

to take care of this Michael.

You just stay right here.

Just stay right,

I'll just do it.

He hates when I

call him Michael.

He goes by Mick, I'm just not

okay with that whole

Nickname deal.

You know, shorten this way
