Don't push me.

-That's my game.

-Laura, no.

l don't want to see any histrionics

or tantrums.

You're to sit here quietly

like everybody else, all right?

Or this will be

your last time down here.

At least l know you're still alive.

What are you doing here?

l thought they said no visitors.

l'm not visiting.

lf you came here to be a hero, forget it.

l don't wanna be saved.

We promised to take care

of each other, remember?

-You and me.

-That was before.

-Before what?

-Before l stopped wanting to live.

l am sick, Jack, just like Mom,

and l am never going to get better.

l tried to kill myself

so you could be free from all of this.

-l did this for you.

-What was l supposed to do?

Just let them cut you open?

-They don't do that stuff anymore.

-Bullshit!

They're giving everyone in here

some kind of experimental drug.

And what are you

gonna do about it, Jack?

You're a patient now, just like us.

Okay, just tell me

where they're keeping you.

-l'm gonna find a way to get us out.

-No one gets out of these places.

lf you can't behave, you won't

be allowed down here, period.

You know what? Honestly,

l don't care what you do with me.

Why won't you let me

just f***ing die?

l can walk.

F***.

l saw you talking to that girl.

She knows you, doesn't she?

-Get away from me.

-No, get away from her.

Listen, come to my room tonight.

Turn out the lights

so you don't see my face.

Look, l don't want to, okay?

Who is she, Jack?

Are you f***ing her? Are you?

You better watch it.

They're using Heather

to see if you're a good receptor.

Receptor for what?

DNA hybrids, l--

Goddamn it, l shouldn't talk here.

They've got devices everywhere.

Even in the food.

lf anyone heard that,

l have bad DNA.

-Not good for hybridization.

-Very funny.

You know what? They laugh.

Everyone out there laughed.

But guess what, in here,

at least l can have my thoughts, okay?

Without all the looks.

Don't put that here.

-Enjoy the grub?

-l couldn't go last night.

She-- Henderson was working late.

l don't give a sh*t

what that b*tch was doing.

We had a deal.

Get the f***ing pills...

...or l file a report

and you go for a long walk upstairs.

No, no, no. l'll go tonight.

Good doggie.

What the f*** are you looking at,

retard?

No-- No-- Nothing.

Thought so.

What was that all about?

You're stealing pills for that a**hole?

You better f***ing keep that

to yourself.

Guess what. l see how you turn

your crazy on and off.

Guess we both have a secret now.

Pick that up.

l thought you forgot about me.

You don't wanna do that, Charles.

l'll tell them about us.

About what you've been doing

to me.

Who do you think

they're gonna believe?

Turn your face.

That thing makes me sick.

l'm sorry. l'm sorry.

l'm sorry.

Punctuality is a sign of respect.

We can't let one person

break the rules.

That wouldn't be fair, would it?

l am postponing your privileges

until you learn to observe regulations.

l cut my finger.

l think you'll live.

We were talking about families

and relationships...

...and since you decided

to keep us all waiting...

...why don't you start

the discussion?

No, no, no. l can't.

Not today, please.

Just make something up.

No one really gives a sh*t.

Heather, everyone participates.

That's how this works.

Why don't you begin by telling us

about your mother, Jack?

My mother--

She was sick a lot.

They said she had these things

in her brain...

...like tiny little scars,

and they tried to take them out.

You're doing very good, Jack.

Continue.

They kept operating on her,

cutting her open.

And my sister,

she couldn't go to the hospital.

She was too afraid of the doctors.

But my mother,

she was gone by then anyway.

She was a f***ing vegetable.

They killed her.

Mr. Loomis, everyone stays

in their seats during group.

Back in your seats!

Back in your seats!

Back in your seats!

Back in your seats!

Back in your seats!

Back in your seats!

-This is enough.

-Don't do that. Don't--

We've got a situation in group.

Get your asses down here now.

Get him off my arm!

Get him out of here.

Everybody, back to your rooms.

Back to your rooms.

We're on lockdown

for the rest of the day.

lt was the blood.

They wanted the blood.

l told you, they're changing.

White, white, white.

Look-- Meet me in my room.

l need to tell you something.

This is crazy. You committed yourself

so you could break out?

l didn't do it for me, l did it for Lily.

That means you're not crazy, but you

must be to come up with that plan...

...because it's crazy.

Lily is all l have, okay?

They wouldn't let me talk to her.

l had to know if she was alive.

Wait, you said

that she tried to kill herself.

That means

that she's on suicide watch.

That's solitary for three months.

l'm gonna tell Gianetti the truth.

Show him the letter.

Once he sees why l did this,

he'll have to let me out.

You're better off in here, Jack.

Once you learn your way around,

it's not so bad.

l'm telling you, you go outside,

it's people outside, the--

You know, come on,

they don't understand.

-l'll make them understand.

-Jack.

Jack.

Jack, we're on lockdown.

You can't be walking around like this.

-l need to talk to Dr. Gianetti.

-Absolutely not, he is furious--

Look, Nancy, you owe me one.

Please.

This is a bad idea.

-Hello, Jack.

-So you found it?

Under the photo

on your sister's desk.

So you read it.

Why are you looking at me

like that?

Why don't you read it for us, Jack?

-What is this?

-Oh, it's the letter, Jack.

Right where you said it would be.

This is a trick. You did this.

-ls that your handwriting?

-Yes, it's my handwriting.

But l know what l wrote.

l'm not crazy.

You had a wonderful breakthrough

in group today.

l think we should focus

on the progress that you're making.

The progress l'm making?

What are you talking about? Okay?

This is all an act.

So now you're telling me the truth

or what?

Yes. Yes, l'm telling you the truth.

l've told you a thousand times.

Jack...

...one day you say one thing,

the next day, something else.

Remember the first time

you got here?

You could barely remember

your own name.

lt seems to me

that it's quite obvious...

...that your stay here with us

has been beneficial.

-What do you think?

-No.

No. Okay?

Look...

...l'm making all this stuff up...

...to get to Lily.

To help her, okay?

But l see now that l was wrong.

Okay, look, l'm sorry. All right?

l made a mistake.

You saw them today.

l'm not like that.

l don't belong in here.

This isn't about the other patients,

Jack. This is about you.

No, we're not talking about me, okay?

l'm not crazy.

-Put him on maximum now.

-No.

No, no, no, you can't do this, okay?

You can't do this.

l'm not crazy. l'm not f***ing crazy!

Get him out of here.

No! No!

Charles.

-Come on, you gotta help me, man.

-Shut up!

l'm not like them.

l'm not like them.

l don't belong in here.

Look. Look at me.
