Oh, it's no big deal.

Your father will be home soon.

Don't eat too much.

He's bringing something home.

[gentle music broods]

[stifled breathing]

[soft dramatic music]

Where the f***

have you been?

Uh, what's happening?

He's bleeding out.

Not him.

F***!

I don't know what to do.

Can you disconnect him?

Why don't we...?

No!

We've never done that before.

- Victor. Victor said you can...

- Where's Mark?

He's still in there

trying to get help.

[indistinct chatter]

Yo, where is he?

[gasping softly]

Get the f*** out, Vic.

Why don't you f***ing leave?

F*** off.

- I'm...

- Did you call 911?

- What?

- Why aren't you doing anything?

What does it look like

I'm trying to do?

I don't know

why he won't leave.

[groans and coughs]

Oh, my God.

No, no, no, no, no, no, no, no.

I told you not to...

[ominous music]

I don't...

know.

Victor, wait.

What happened?

Who are you?

What?

Sam.

No, Sam, I know

your f***ing name.

Who are you?

Mark brings home some random...

None of this makes

any f***ing sense.

What happened

to you in there?

I have to get the f***

out of here.

You all done?

Yeah.

[car starts]

[car beeping]

[seat belts click]

Want to get some food

or something?

I had lunch already.

You all right?

Yeah, I'm fine.

How were the tests?

The MRIs came back.

It's really improving.

That's good.

What's up?

Just calling my mom back.

[buzzes]

[line trilling]

Why don't we get out of town?

I got the afternoon off.

I have to get back.

You want to just watch a movie

or hang out at my house?

You sure you're all right?

Sure. Why?

You just seem off.

Mark, I really have to get back.

Can we just go home?

Just for a bit.

Come on.

It'll be fun.

We'll go to your favorite spot.

I have a headache.

[soft gentle music]

[door clicks shut]

I stopped by Molly's.

They said you don't

work there anymore.

I quit.

How'd you know I was here?

Intuition.

You want to go somewhere?

No. I'm good here.

I was thinking

we should all hang out again.

Jenny mentioned

you moved in with her.

Yeah.

I miss it.

I notice people

differently now.

You just disappeared.

I needed to get away.

I'm back, though.

I miss you guys.

We'll hang out tomorrow.

I'll come to Jenny's.

Yeah.

[ominous music]

Finally.

Hey.

I'm going out with

a couple friends tonight.

You want to come along?

I'm a bit tired.

I might stick back tonight.

Come on, it'll be fun.

I have homework

I have to catch up on.

All right.

Figured I'd find you here.

Went by your place.

You weren't there.

I'm leaving.

Whose boat is this?

That old guy's?

You haven't been back

for a while.

I can't trust anyone.

You know, if I can just get out

far enough, I know I'll be okay.

What happened to you

in there?

I don't even know

why I did it.

But it's all my fault.

You know, I've been trying

to figure out how I found it,

and nothing seems

to line up.

The university. You were

the one who told me that.

Yeah, but that's just it.

Nobody ever came after us.

They just let us have it.

And how? I...

I don't even remember

learning how to use it.

I just knew.

You've always been good

at figuring out new things.

You taught us pretty easily.

Everyone's okay.

Do you want to know

what it's like to die?

Victor...

I came back thinking

that a week had passed.

I couldn't make sense

of anything.

But you know,

I think I've figured it out.

You know, they're in on it.

If I can just get out

far enough,

I know everything's

going to be okay.

You need to come back.

I took a break for a bit,

cleared my head.

Now I'm ready to be part

of the group.

No, no.

I keep getting these urges.

That's normal.

I don't even know

what normal is anymore.

You know, I turned up to some

other random kid's f***ing class

the other day by accident.

[sighs]

You know, you've changed, man.

We're still your friends.

We've always

been there for you.

I barely even knew Jenny

before I found it,

and she said herself

that she hardly even knew you.

She just thought

you'd be the right fit.

So it brought us together.

So what?

No.

No, there's more to it.

Where did you find Sam?

I don't know, man.

I've just known her.

She works at that caf,

Molly's, or whatever.

It's on my way home.

I'd stop in there,

we just started talking.

You know, we already helped

you get a girl. You didn't...

That has nothing

to do with it.

She's just a friend.

A friend you barely knew.

I feel like

I'm going insane.

It's like I'm not

even me anymore.

You're just being paranoid.

No, see I haven't felt

normal in a long time.

We need to leave.

You should come with me.

We can... we can get out far

enough and it'll be all right.

That's not going

to solve anything.

You need to come back with us.

We can take it easy.

Go back to what

we were doing at first.

Relax.

We could find you

a bigger house.

I'm sure we could

get something so much...

No, no. I can't.

I can't do that again.

It's evil.

I'm never touching

that thing again.

I want to stay friends, though.

I trust you...

[flesh pierces]

[gasps softly]

[brooding music]

I never liked you much.

Panopticon.

It plays on

the idea that if you believe

you're being watched,

you behave differently.

It was a prison design.

So all the prisoners

were around it,

and there was a guard in

the middle that would monitor.

But none of the prisoners

knew who was being watched.

And your opinion

of how it works is...

Well, the essay is supposed

to relate the panopticon

as a theory to

our modern society,

that we behave differently

because of

possible surveillance,

or influence of higher power.

So, what's the problem?

[gasping]

Must have had some merit

in their choice.

I still don't see it.

If it were up to me...

My professor throws out

the whole concept,

but I do believe that if they

had done it correctly,

it would have been

the perfect prison.

They give me

some leeway, though:

how to go about doing it.

Figured you and knives

went well together.

We mostly just use it

as a metaphor now,

since it's useless

with the invention of cameras.

Poor kid.

You need to know

you're an a**hole.

Glad to see you go.

I've been waiting for this.

[soft brooding music]

[suspenseful music]

Not good?

You were right.

He was trying to sail off

away from us.

Death really f***ed him up,

I guess.

He became paranoid.

Ha, well, they're not

going to be too happy.

They can go

f*** themselves.

Samantha still here?

Yeah.

She's been there

since this morning.

Haven't seen much of her.

She's become fully obsessed

with the cheerleader.

He suspected her

of all people.

Surprising.

Total addict.

I don't know about that.

It's not like

we didn't expect it.

Victor was always

pretty hard to contain.

[gun c*cks]

[door clicks open]

It always surprises me

how these kids can be so smart,

and yet they're so stupid,

She had potential.

Stick to what I said before.

She kept her a job a lot longer
