I...wish that i could tell her.

Anyway, um, the point of this.

Is to show you

the latest development,

So let's just get to it.

Okay.

No wonder ryan's making

every excuse not to come home.

You know, i don't even think

i can have kids anymore.

I don't think my biological

clock's even ticking.

I mean, if i could have kids,

what'd come out of me, you know?

Snack time at daycare would

take on a whole new meaning.

Were you afraid you might infect

your goddaughter?

There, see? That's what you have

to look forward to.

You get pregnant, and you

can have your own pair of these.

Woman:
[ laughs ]

mm-Hmm.

Okay, i would take these

if that meant...

oh, you wish you were

pregnant, don't you?

[ Indistinct conversation,

laughter ]

Oh. Here, you want to come sit

with us?

Is that your doggy?

[ Squealing ]

[ Laughter ]

Jesse:
uh, a little bit small,

but...

look at...

look at mommy's new slippers.

Look at... look at these.

[ Laughter ]

What do you think?

Be honest.

Uncle ryan got them

for her.

For mommy.

Mm-Hmm.

[ Laughter ]

Whoo.

[ Laughs ]

He wanted to say hi.

Hey, bruce.

Quint:
shonda.

Yo.

Do you have a birthday wish

for virginia?

Yes, i do.

And what is that?

Okay, and it is not that.

Come on.

I am taking over this camera...

ridiculous.

...'cause you are now banished,

and i am moving over here.

Hello, miss regina.

Do you have a birthday wish

for our lovely girl?

Um, hi, virginia.

Happy birthday.

I'm...

oh, are you okay?

Whoa.

Yeah.

Yeah, i'm fine.

Wait, wait, wait, wait.

Are you done, or...

i'm confused. Are...

can you catch it?

Where are you going?

Hello?

Hey, shonda.

What's happening?

Do you have a birthday wish.

For this lovely lady

standing next to you?

Which one?

Where's the lovely lady?

Oh, that's kind of heartless.

That's nice.

Are there some coming?

That's really nice, right?

What?

Who did you invite?

[ Laughter ]

god, you're such an ass.

No, no, no, no.

You know we love you.

Well, then... his simon

& garfunkel chicken...

yeah, see? ...Was my

secret birthday wish.

You know,

anyone with an album,

Put a bunch of ingredients,

any stuff on them.

So, some rosemary, some sage,

some thyme, some...

[ dog barking,

child screaming ]

What is it?

Whoa!

Quint:
give me the camera.

Give me the camera.

Get in the car.

Get in the car, jesse.

Should i call 911?

Regina:
i can't believe

i blamed it on the dog.

[ Chuckles ]

The truth is...

this thing...

is ugly and disgusting.

And i wish that i could...

turn my body inside out

and scrub it off.

It's there all the time.

I can't even sleep for, like,

five minutes.

I haven't slept

in two months.

We can fix that, reggie.

Why haven't you told me that you

haven't been sleeping?

[ Scoffs ]

what's the point?

Just let me die before...

before something bad happens.

That's not what we do here,

reggie.

Well, what...

what do you do here?

What is any of this

supposed to be doing?

We will diagnose your condition,

treat you accordingly,

And with any luck, get you

back to feeling normal again.

[ Chuckling ]

normal.

Nor-Normal?

Like what?

Like, there's, like...

you're gonna cure me?

What kind of cure is there

for the things i've done?

So... i'm just trying to remain

in control here.

Working off the theory

that if i can lessen.

The amount of fungus inside me.

Or kill it,

Then i might be able to stop

the cravings and symptoms,

Um, hopefully, completely.

Uh, i've made a batch

of... kill juice.

It's, uh, three parts lotrimin

and one part bleach.

Lotrimin is, uh, one of

the best imidazoles out there,

And, uh, if anything's

gonna stop this thing.

From reproducing,

this is it.

And bleach...

i mean, bleach kills everything,

So... i'm hoping

that between the two,

I'll be able to weaken

or... stop.

The fungus' hold on me.

The only question is...

...what will happen to me

if the fungus is killed,

'Cause i'm already

not registering a pulse,

And there's really no sign

of blood pressure.

Um...

and, you know, i feel

pretty dead already,

So... if that's

what's happening,

Then... i might as well

just make it official.

[ Sniffs ]

[ Chuckles ]

Don't try this at home.

[ Gulps ]

[ Gasps ]

[ Sniffs ]

[ Shuddering ]

[ Sniffs ]

[ Knock on door ]

You order pizza?

There's no numbers

on your door.

Hello?

Great, a f***ing zombie.

Listen,

do you have $28.17?

Ryan:
oh, my god. Regina:

put the camera down, ryan.

Oh, my god.

What did you do?

Give me

the goddamn camera.

I would've brought you

a fat shake.

I didn't know

you were out.

Is this what you do

when i'm not here?

You just eat pizza guys?

Is that...

it must've taken over,

because i-I didn't do this.

This is bad.

This is real bad.

I swear, i didn't do this. I'm sorry.

I've got to take control.

I woke up and... and there

was blood everywhere...

i got some bleach in... under the sink.

...and he was dead.

I was trying to kill it,

and... and it...

it fought back.

I don't... well, how did

you get him in there?

You can't...

you can't film this.

It...

give me the camera.

I just really need to...

stop it.

I need to record this.

You killed somebody.

Yeah, well, you were supposed

to be the one.

To stop that from happening,

okay?

And you flaked on me,

and now i need your help.

No, no, this is not my fault.

I can't help you with this.

I can't deal... ryan, ryan,

i will go to jail forever.

Look what you

f***ing did.

I know.

I didn't do it on purpose, okay?

You know that. I know

you're out of control.

Obviously i'm out

of control, okay?

We know.

We talked about this.

We had a deal, okay?

You know what you have to do.

No, no, i don't...

what i need to do.

Is call the police

because you... you need help.

You're...

you're f***ing crazy.

You're... you're...

i'm a monster, ryan.

Baby.

Baby, you're not a monster.

You're not a monster.

You just need some help, okay?

This has gone too far,

you know.

You've got

something inside you.

We need to... we can get you

some help and we can...

listen, there's got to be

something we can do.

There's got to be somebody

who can help you.

Wait, may... maybe there's

still time.

You're killing

people, baby.

Not people.

Just one person.

Are you

f***ing kidding me?!

Are you listening

to yourself?!

I can't do this.

I know you're scared, 'cause i'm

scared f***ing shitless,

But i... i don't feel safe

around you anymore.

You are not safe to be around.

Ryan, you cannot leave me behind.

You cannot leave me behind. I have to.

I have to leave.

You have to go to a hospital.

You have to get some help.

No, we... we can't go

to a hospital.

They're gonna te... test...

i'm done.

No. I'm done.

You're on your own.

You cannot do this

to me, ryan.

Don't leave me,

you a**hole!

[ Door slams ]

[ crying ]

Um, maybe my dad,

but i know what i saw.

Schizophrenia is

often associated.

With delusions

of persecution.
