Come on, come on.

Jesus Christ.

What are these, man?

Are these branding marks?

Those are my Rebirths, man.

Come on, come on, come on.

Jesse's trying...

Is helping break my attachments

to the domination game.

To, like, the status thing.

You know what I'm saying?

- You're gonna put these pants on.

- No, no, no.

Put the pants on. Put them on.

You were just screaming for help. Why not?

[laughing]

No, no, no. Oh, my God. Oh, no, no. No.

No, no, no.

No, no, no.

[woman] Stop hurting him!

Stop hurting him.

Zack, are you okay?

Where's Jesse? Is Jesse out there?

Naomi, just... Could you get Jesse?

- Could you get Jesse?

- Who the f*** is Jesse?

[Naomi] Jesse's coming, honey.

Hang in there.

Okay, thank you, Naomi.

All right, I hope you know

that I have called the police,

and they are on their way.

[Naomi] No, you didn't.

Yes, I did.

- F***. Hey, Kyle, Kyle, I...

- Oh, f***.

[Zack squeals]

Stop it.

Stop, stop, stop. What's wrong with you?

It's okay. No, no, no.

It's okay, it's okay, it's okay.

It's my supplements.

- Are they drugging you?

- No, no. Not drugs.

They're supplements.

My God. You're not gonna hurt Jesse,

are you?

- You're not gonna hurt Jesse.

- You're drugging him?

How long have you been with these people?

- Uh...

- Huh?

That I don't... Because we jump

around a lot, you know what I mean?

Because Je... Have you met Jesse?

Who the f*** is Jesse?

- [Naomi] Jesse's almost here.

- It's okay, it's okay.

Because this is my friend.

This is my best friend, Naomi.

Oh, God. Wait, wait.

You're not... Hold on. I hope the money...

- Is the money...? Are you mad about...?

- What do you mean?

What money?

[slamming on door]

What money?

Jesse says that money

is just a construct, too.

- So, it's fine, it's fine.

- No, no, no.

They didn't make you give them your money.

No, no, no, not my money.

Your money. [chuckles]

What do you mean, my money?

What are you talking about?

What does he mean, my money?

[Naomi] You shouldn't be talking

to him right now, a**hole.

What do you mean, my money?

What have you done?

- What did you freaks do to my money?

- You're doing it!

What did you do?

What have you done to me?

What did I...? What...?

[man whistles]

[man] Zachariah, are you there?

- Jesse!

- Okay, why are...?

Come on.

- Jesse.

- Aah!

[grunting]

- I come in peace.

- Aah!

No, Kyle, no!

- No!

- Zachariah, stop it.

Your friend can't help it.

He's not a Birthling.

What did we talk about?

Your friend is not a Birthling.

You can't be expecting him

to have the insight...

Sir, I believe in a peaceful revolution

through massage and the...

Stop it!

Stop with your brainwashing bullshit.

I'm not listening. I can't hear you.

What the f*** is this, huh?

Cupcakes? What the f*** is going on?! Aah!

- [Zack] Jesse! Jesse!

- No, no, no.

No, we've seen your friend.

Now we're leaving.

No, no, no. Let him help you.

Tell me what your body's feeling.

Tell me what your body's feeling.

- Please, please.

- Every cell in your body has been trained

by millions of years of evolution

to fight, to survive.

What you're feeling now is real life.

Don't you feel it?

[Jesse] You're just not used

to such a pure dose.

Your mind's reacting.

Shut up. My friend was shitting

in a bucket, screaming for help!

[Zack] No, no, you're hurting Jesse.

- [Naomi] Knock it down, knock it down.

- That was real. Do it again.

[banging on door]

- No, no, hit me again, please.

- Do it again.

- Stop it.

- No, hit me.

- Shut up.

- Hit me again.

- [Naomi] Just knock it down!

- Stay out!

- Stay out!

- Knock it down!

Hit me again.

- They're coming!

- Back off, I'll do it.

I'll f***ing do it.

Come on, Zack, let's go.

It's okay, it's okay, Kyle, okay?

- We still love you.

- [Jesse] Zack?

Kyle's the master now. Do what he says.

- [Zack] Okay.

- This is it.

- Can you feel it?

- [laughs] Yes, I can feel it.

Shut up!

Back off. Zack, let's go, move.

All right, everybody back off,

or I will kill him!

Do it, man. Do it.

Shut up, man!

- Go, go. Get back, get back.

- Okay, okay, no one's gonna get hurt.

- Kill me now, master. I'm ready to ascend.

- That's enough, Jesse. Stop it.

[laughing]

I think we got a situation here.

You need to kill that footage now.

Go.

[Kyle] Where do we go? Do we go down?

Where the f*** do we go? Zack!

[Naomi] We got a breach!

Breach!

[Naomi] Okay, Zack, I need to know

what you've told him.

Don't talk to her, Zack, all right?

He didn't tell me nothing, okay?

We just wanna get on that shuttle

and go home.

Where the f*** is the exit?!

Sir, sir, you know

this is not real, right?

- Shut up, shut up.

- Okay, all right, what's your name?

- What's his name?

- Kyle-something.

- This guy is having a psychotic episode.

- Yeah, no sh*t.

- Can we get a doctor over here, please?

- Yeah.

[Kyle] How do you get out of here?

Hey, honey, the exit is this way,

where it's always been.

Found a doctor.

Okay, sir, can we just stop moving

for a second?

[Naomi] Okay, everyone. Just stay calm.

[doctor] Sir, what's your name?

- What's his name?

- Kyle.

- It's Kyle.

- [doctor] Okay, Karl.

I'm a psychiatrist at First Memorial.

I'm here for the seminar, like you.

You just tell him to stop

whatever the f*** he's trying to do.

- Just let us go, all right?

- No... No problem.

Some people's brains have a hard time

adjusting to Rebirth.

So, just breathe.

They're trying to lock you back

in their cage, master.

- Don't listen to them.

- [Naomi] Shut up, Jesse.

- [man 1] I think he went to the Wish Room.

- Yes, he did. I took him there.

- [man 1] Jesus Christ.

- That's it. That's the door.

- That's the door.

- Are you sure?

- Stand back, stand back.

- [man 2] Stay.

- Easy.

- Open the door, Zack.

Get over here and open the f***ing door.

- It's locked.

- [doctor] Listen.

If you go back into the real world

without decompressing,

you're gonna have

a serious brain damage...

- [Kyle] Shut up!

- It's not a door. It's a wall.

It's a window, open it.

Shut up! Everyone shut up

and just let me think!

[panting]

[Kyle grunting]

[panting]

No. Hey, Karl, Karl, don't do it, man.

Karl, don't do it, man.

Don't do something you're gonna regret.

- [man] Come back home.

- It's a stupid thing to do.

It's a stupid thing to do.

- Karl, don't do it...

- Shut up!

Nobody f***ing move.

Zack.

Let's go.

Zack, let's go.

All right, move.

[Kyle] Hello?

Hello?!

Hello?!

Oh, my God.

I'm so f***ing hard right now.

God, f***.

[gasping]

[Kyle panting]

[gasping]

Zack!

[all chanting] Rebirth! Rebirth! Rebirth!

Aah!

Zack! Zack!

[yelling]

[all cheering]

[yelling]

[gasps]

[speaking indistinctly]

It's okay, really.

- What's going on?

- That's not funny.

What the f*** is going on?

Told you, man.

Zack!

Welcome home, brother. [laughing]

[all chanting] Kyle! Kyle! Kyle!

No, no, no!

Zack!

Zack! Zack! Zack!

Zack!

Zack! Zack! Zack!
