- What is it?

I don't know.

Grant, give me something heavy!

Give me something.

Help me up.

Give me!

- Give it.

- Here.

There's something there.

What is it?

What is it?

James, open the door.

Look what you've done!

Look what you've done!

My God!...

Stop, make it stop!

Stop. Stop. Stop.

Make it stop!

I came here

to start a new life!

I'm not buying it.

I'm just not buying it.

Stop!

Son of a b*tch!

Be careful.

I feel cool here.

There's gotta be

another room in there.

What is it?

Nothing.

Catherine, Catherine.

Look at me.

What you wanna do? Put my hand

in that hole in the wall, huh?

Like we put Jessie's head

through the hole in the door?

Three nails in her head, buddy,

yeah, three nails in her head.

Boom, boom, boom...

Oh yeah, that's funny.

What's next?

You want me to put my hand

in the little hole?

My hand in that hole,

will be... kaboom...

gonna chop my hand off,

is that it? Is that it?

I like my hands, Christopher.

I like both of them.

Yeah.

I've been watching you boy,

I've been watching you.

You know what I think?

I think you're a nasty, nasty

little man. That's what I think.

I think you're a nasty

little man,

and I think

you're friends with Pettis.

Is your buddy down here?

Your old buddy, Christopher?

And his girlfriend Catherine?

How long you've known Pettis,

Christopher?

Make me to laugh at this

joke you guys have going on.

What's happening, boy?

What's going on, Christopher?

That's it.

That's it?

What's it, boy?

I've had enough.

You've had enough?

Of you!

I've done nothing

but trying to keep you calm,

give you a chance

to get out of here.

Do you wanna lose your mind?

Do you wanna end up like them?

That's what you're aiming

for me to be, like them?

I don't care

about your story, Grant.

You're pathetic. I don't care

if you fry in here.

Who's pathetic now, Christopher?

Pettis!

I'm coming for your woman.

You're gonna talk, b*tch,

you're gonna talk.

No! No! No!

- Talk to me!

- Christopher.

- Will you talk to me?

- Help me!

- Will you talk to me?

- Help me, Chris...

You're the strongest.

Animal instinct, detective.

Only the strong survive.

My experiment happened exactly

the way I predicted it.

Some will kill themselves,

some will kill,

some will go insane.

It's genetic.

The faultier rudeness lies not...

in our stars

but in ourselves.

I'm gonna try to see you get

the help you need, Raymond.

You have to call Walter.

Yes, call Walter.

Call Walter, call Walter.

Call him, call Walter.

- It's time, Jack.

- Dr. Adams sends his apologies.

There is an emegency

on one of the wards tonight.

Yeah, no problem.

I hope he didn't give you

too much trouble.

No, he is not bad.

Just a little agitated.

Got a hell of a twitch, huh?

He needs his medication.

How long you've been

treating him?

He turned himself over as a

ward of state about 4 months ago.

Dr. Adams has been treating him

aggressively ever since.

It's hard to say, he's had a lot

of episodes lately.

When did he disappear?

Yesterday.

And who... uh.

you reported him missing?

We always wait 24 hours, sir.

Hospital policy.

Can't say there's another

bit of imagination, huh?

I can take him now, unless of course,

you wanna keep him for tonight.

No, no. Thanks.

I'm gone.

Thank you for your help.

Yeah, good luck.

Be careful.

Hey.

No, I'm on the way now.

What're you wearing?

Huh?

Come on.

No, why?

Oh, nothing.

Just something come up.

His vital signs

are stable, Dr. Adams.

Thank you, that'll be all.

I'm quite upset

with you, Raymond.

Going to the press, that was...

not part of our arrangement.

I'm sorry.

That's ok.

Everything is fine now.

You're a genius.

Living and touching

real human chaos.

It was the greatest

experience of my life.

It was beautiful.

You get some sleep.

You don't control him anymore.

He controls you.

Kill him...

and come home.

I love you.
