He never told me why he is,
what he saw to justify all his chaos.
Most people take z to escape,
to forget, to catch a break.
He appears taking it to force himself
to remember something...
Or someone.
Whoa, whoa.
Hey, Johnny.
Will, buddy, how's it hangin'
I brought my girl Michelle along.
I hope you don't mind.
Listen, Johnny, you weren't supposed to come until Saturday.
Are you gonna be an asshole, Willy boy,
or are you gonna invite us in
Huh I thought I was gonna have to break this door in.
Hell, living the dream, I see, will.
You got coffee
- Babe, you want coffee - No, thank you.
Yeah, I'll get coffee.
Yeah, yeah, sure.
Making big moves, chief, heading down south.
Meeting with these guys tonight.
And buying zs fast as my guy can churn them out.
Speaking of which, you been sleeping
Um, yeah, yeah.
See, buddy
I got you, right
Have I ever let you down
No, Johnny, you haven't let me down.
That's what I like to hear. Another satisfied customer.
Now, anyways, my girl Michelle's gonna be picking up my slack
while I'm wheeling and dealing out there.
Long story short, bitch better have my money.
You know I'm good for it.
I'm still waiting to get paid from the last job.
Listen, Johnny, I need it.
If I don't have the z I can't sleep,
and if I can't sleep, I can't think
and then I'm no good to anybody
shh, shh, shh, shh.
I know you're good for it, Willy boy.
You know I got you.
I take care of my boys.
Thank you. Thank you so much.
I really appreciate it. I promise next week.
Mm-hmm. Don't say I never did anything for ya.
Now how about that coffee
Yeah, yeah, I'll get you a cup.
What are you
- Oh, oh, my - Johnny, what the hell,
are you really gonna give this guy shit
Till next week, Willy boy.
If you need anything, Michelle will hook you up.
You got it
Baby, can you patch him up
I got to make these calls before I give you this phone.
And, Willy boy, get some sleep.
You look like shit.
I'll be in the car when you're done
prettying him up.
Hold still.
You really don't have to do this.
Think I wanna spend anymore time with that maniac
He seems to think you do.
Well, people see what they wanna see.
So, all your glances, what did you want me to see
Sorry, honey, I don't date junkies.
I'm not a junkie.
I need it to sleep.
Well, I also don't date liars.
Try taking Ambien like the rest of us.
Thank you for sticking up for me.
Stick this.
He seemed harmless enough.
I mean gentle even.
Stable for a z addict, anyway.
And for what I know.
Hi, everyone, this is d2054.
It's been 363 days
since, um...
I've been sleeping like shit.
My dreams are, uh,
my dreams are getting worse.
They're wild and different,
um, I don't know, maybe that's a good thing.
Um...
I met a girl, and not that I'm saying
I'm ready for anything like that, but...
I don't know.
It doesn't matter anyway.
Today I am sorry for drinking coffee.
Uh, comments welcome.
When was this
I don't know, probably right before dad kicked me out.
Christ. Remember he used to take us almost every weekend
I do. I hated it.
He'd wake me up every morning at 5 am
to go out on that stupid boat.
I thought you liked fishing.
I do not.
It's cold, it's wet.
Boring.
Inhumane.
I just never had the heart to tell him.
When you guys were out on the lake I'd go to the end of the dock
and just stare out into the water.
I remember it feeling, like, amazing.
Everything started feeling like a trap
and out there it was, I don't know, free.
Abducted from her house on Hudson Avenue
- sometime last night. - Will, what's going on
Emily has said to have last been seen at her home
by her babysitter at approximately 8:30 pm.
If you have any information regarding the disappearance
of Emily haswell, please call the number on your screen.
Again, the police have issued an emergency Amber alert
for Emily haswell, seven years old,
blond hair, blue eyes.
Reports coming in that her father...
returned home early to find her missing...
- Hello. - Uh, can I help you
Yeah, I'm will, I don't believe we've met.
Oh, um, I have a boyfriend.
No, no, um, I live across the street.
Are your parents home
Um, I'm just a babysitter.
They're out of town. They won't be back till later.
I'm out of this world. I'll let you know when I'm back.
Johnny, it's Willy here.
Just trying to do a little research.
Is this z stuff laced to something psychedelic
I'm just having some weird reactions here.
Please give me a call back.
Sorry to bother you, um, what was your name again
Chloe.
And hers was
Emily.
Again, the police have issued an emergency Amber alert
for Emily haswell.
Uh...
What can I say your name was again
Will. Will Parker.
Johnny, sorry to bother you, um...
Willy, listen,
I'm two seconds away from boarding a private jet.
Okay, wait, what's in the z stuff
Is there acid, is it Ben...
- i don't know, man. - Willy, boy, I got to go.
Here's the girl. Sweetheart...
- No, Johnny. - Bye, babe.
- Hello - That's it
That's how you're gonna be
Screw you.
Hello
Michelle.
Uh, hey.
- Good talk. I'm hanging up now. - No No, no, no.
Can you take me to the cook
- What - The cook.
Johnny says he gets his stuff from a cook.
I have a few questions for him.
Dude, I've got all his routes to run.
Just a name. Anything.
It's really important.
Be ready in 20,
with coffee, in case I need to Chuck it at you.
You want me to drive
well, I feel run down...
can we talk
It's the cook you want.
Have you tried it
I sleep just fine.
Why did you lie
What
Johnny said you didn't drive, you offered to drive back there.
Why did you lie
Was that really bothering you this whole time
I don't like liars.
Geez, okay, sorry.
Do you have a job
Answer honestly.
No. No job.
No income.
How do you pay for drugs
- What do you care - I don't.
Wow, okay. Are we there yet
I'll wake you up when we're close.
- Who is this guy again - His name is Jay.
Or at least that's who he is in Johnny's phone.
Never met him.
Got his address from the GPS.
Uh, one moment, please, while I make myself decent.
Jay, we're friends of Johnny.
Ah, I need you to listen to me very carefully.
Not only is this my place of business,
but a sanctuary
for scientific discovery,
and a laboratory for the metaphysical.
What happens within these walls
is to be discussed with no one
under the highest probability of physical
and/or psychological punishment.
- Is that clear - Yeah.
Sure.
Good.
Would anyone like some tea
I hope your trip wasn't too much trouble.
I'm not much of a city man myself.
It was fine, thank you.
Jay, the reason we're here is...
Oh, one moment.
For you.
And that's yours.
Just sign, date, and time, please.
Thank you.
- Interesting. - Why do you need the time
Oh, I think that question pertains
directly to whichever one brought you here.
Am I correct
I'll just go get my sciatic pillow.
I guess, lately my dreams have changed.
They start off normal,
and then they get very real,
really real,
as if... uh, as if I'm not dreaming.
It's insane, will,
because it's true.
This product, the z, as you call it,
was designed to do exactly
what you self-prescribed it to do.
It looks like being comatose
but for a few,
for the few who's minds more susceptible,
a more active state emerges.
I mean, one that diverges the liner form of time
into one that's less mainstream.
Listen very carefully.
Time, as we know it, travels in a straight line.
Think of it as a map with times and dates
scattered about.
Now the vast majority of us follow the same path
touching the same temporal coordinates
in the same order.
The drug essentially reroutes your mind's navigation
to a different checkpoint in time
before rerouting and bringing back
to the original path.
In other words...
Time travel.
Okay, okay, so if what you're saying is true,
and let's say tomorrow something bad happens...
No, no, no, no, no, let me stop you right there.
These situations must be dealt with extreme caution.
Will, if you see it, it does exist...
And no one man can change the future
but you heard what Jay said. You can't change anything,
so if it's gonna happen, then let's just let it happen.
You don't know what I've seen, okay
If he's right about this...
Hey, supper, anyone
I'm sorry, did I interrupt something
No. Jay, what are the chances of us crashing here tonight
Good. I have an open bed in the monitoring station.
Monitoring station
I like how you think, will.
A colleague of mine once said
to die in the name of scientific discovery
is equitable to living forever.
Unfortunately, he was vaporized a few seconds later
in this high voltage telekinesis experiment.
Oh, god, those were the days.
Where are you gonna sleep
Oh, Jay's got a futon-couch-bed hybrid,
so I'm all set.
Hey, any idea what tomorrow has in store for me
I'll try and find out, how's that
Okay, preparations are complete.
God willing, this machine will give us an indication
of the specific parts of your brain
that are being activated and deactivated.
This is the last time I take this stuff.
Says the junkie.
Okay. September 1st.
Dosage administered.
Change never happens tomorrow, all right
- It happens on that brave day... - Oh, my god.
- That you wake up... - Oh, my god.
Get off your ass, you turn that corner,
and you just, like...
Wait, what was that stupid thing that dad used to say
Dad to used to say a lot of stupid things,
so you have to be a little bit more specific.
Come on, you know what I mean,
it was like... uh, like shit or get off the pot.
Something like that.
No, he used to say, fish or cut bait.
Fish or cut bait.
Look, you're gonna Mark this map up
until it's unreadable, or...
You could...
Go fish.
- You ruined my map. - It's inspirational.
Hey, shut up, it's David.
He hates when I smoke.
Hey, babe. Okay, thanks for letting me know.
Nothing, you know, just watching some TV.
Yeah, I love you. Bye.
Do you hang out with me for any other reason
than to smoke weed, you little pot head
Well, now that you mention it.
I thought we could try something new and interesting.
Boom.
Where did you get that, gretch
My friend at the store sold it to me.
This is hard stuff.
- You really shouldn't... - Are you kidding
You're gonna get, like, big brother
I am your big brother, and I'm being serious.
That's fine, but I think you're being a little ridiculous
and slightly hypocritical.
Have you ever done this before
Have you ever done anything like this before
Uh, yeah.
No, I have not.
This is the good stuff, though.
- This is... this is pretty good. - Okay.
All right, then I would like you to only take one half.
- Okay - Okay, okay.
- Wait, I'm being serious. - I'm being very serious.
- Look at my face. - You're full of shit.
- Just the half. - Half.
And I'm gonna take two.
Ready
Bottoms up.
Excuse me.
You were saying something
Sorry, I, uh, forgot.
What's going on here
You were describing your relationship
with the haswells.
Haswells
They live across the street from you.
Oh, the little girl
Yeah, she's my neighbor.
I saw her playing outside this afternoon.
That's interesting, considering the last time
she was reported seen was last night.
- Who are you exactly - You know who I am.
Look, a little girl goes missing,
and her babysitter, who explicitly warned us
of your presence, is found drugged
and unconscious in their home.
Your only alibi is that you were sleeping,
which, frankly, is hard to believe
given your bloodshot eyes.
Wait, I'm your suspect
You're on a very short list.
We found these in our sweep of your apartment.
I... I didn't take these.
I didn't take these.
Are you all right I almost hit you.
I'm sorry. I was sleepwalking.
Well, do you need any help
No, thank you.
Thank you.
Seven years old, blond hair, blue eyes.
Reports coming in that her father
returned home early, to find Emily missing.
- What happened - What happened
I know exactly what happened.
You used me.
You needed a fix, and you got it for free,
- and I believed you. - No, I promise.
I woke up, you're gone, Jay's gone.
What the hell, will
Where do you go, will, when you sleep
What happens to you
- There's no stopping it. - No stopping what
- Emily haswell, she's gone. - Who the hell is Emily haswell
She's the little blonde girl across the street.
It's done. It's over. You got to go.
Don't tell me what to do.
This is ID 2054.
It's been 364 days since...
I'm serious, okay
Look, I'm gone.
Full disclosure. I have been experimenting with other drugs.
If I call you tomorrow,
if I end up at the police station,
you got to send Johnny to come bail me out.
You don't come anywhere near me, okay
I just wanna clear the slate.
I just wanna start fresh.
Sending a drug dealer to a police station
That's gonna go over real well.
Please, promise me, okay Promise me.
Everyone around me continue to suffer as long as I'm around
until they're all gone.
I'll see what I can do.
Thank you.
If there is a heaven and if there is a hell
at the end of all this, I know where I am going.
For what it's worth, I don't think you did it.
That girl, Michelle, she thinks she knows me,
she don't know the first thing about me.
Comments, thank you for listening.
- Wake up, will - I'm up.
I love this song so much.
You got anymore
No, no, man.
Well, can you get more Can you call Johnny
No, I can't. I owe him money.
- Hey, no, come on, seriously. - Hey, hey, hey
Gretch, you sure
Yeah, I don't pay rent, remember
- Thanks, David. - Thanks, mommy and daddy.
Oh, no, it's... I need your phone.
What... what... What is that dinosaur
Got it, ready
It's ringing.
Hey, Johnny, it's Willy boy, that's who.
I got you. I got you, man.
I need you to bring over some of the oxys.
Oh, oh, really
He doesn't have oxy.
- What - He's got brown.
- What - It sounded, like, hard.
- Eh - All right.
All right. I'm at 332 walton.
- 332 Washington. - 332 Washington.
Yeah
So then I told him he was being a dick,
and I quit.
- You quit - It was a shit job anyway.
- Yes. - It was stupid.
Wow. So does David know
He'll figure it out.
There you go.
- When does he get back - Uh, Friday
Hey, are you coming this weekend
- What - To the lake.
Remember, the party
Mmm, yes. I will be there.
Gretchen
Gretch
What the hell
Gretchen. Babe, wake up.
Look at me. Look at me
- Are you okay - Mm-hmm.
Will, what the hell is this
That's it. I'm calling an ambulance.
Oh, no, it's fine.
No, Gretchen, it's not fine.
Please. I'm begging you.
- You need to stop this. - I'm fine.
No, you don't understand.
I love you.
Sorry.
Admit it, will. Stop wasting everyone's time.
The whole world knows you did it.
Am I dead
That can be arranged.
You've done everything in your power
to delay the inevitable.
We found your prints inside the haswell home,
and now these prints inside your car.
I don't even have a car.
But you do have access to a red sedan.
It's not my car.
Okay, that car's been following me.
Whoever's driving that car are the people you're after.
Uh-huh, so that's your story now
Someone's setting me up.
That's one explanation, at least.
What is the other one
The other one's a little bit more complicated.
Try me.
Okay.
Um, I don't know for sure
that I haven't been driving the red sedan,
because I have not yet driven the red sedan.
You're... you just contradicted yourself.
Can I use your pen and paper, please
Thank you.
What's your name
Rayburn, detective antonia rayburn.
Do you really not remember
Okay, antonia, this is how our minds process thought.
Or your mind, at least.
Like that, all right
Today, tomorrow, and so on.
Except, uh, not me. Not lately.
You know how I keep coming in and out of coherence
- All too well. - Okay.
Well, what's happening is is when I go to sleep
my mind keeps going off the tracks, like this.
And I keep drifting out between today and tomorrow,
and for you that would be yesterday and today, I guess.
So, I can't say that I haven't driven the red sedan yet,
because I have not yet lived that moment in history.
And then pretty soon I'm gonna wake right back up
to where I started.
Am I making sense
No. No, will, you're not.
It was worth a shot.
Look, her hair is in the back seat.
Why would I kill Emily haswell
You still think we're discussing Emily haswell
You're saying I killed her
It's not everyday I get to pick the brain of a serial killer.
Can't say I'm disappointed.
We have everything we need.
My boss is ready to lock you up,
the cable news is ready to fry you,
but for my own piece of mind,
I just need to hear you say it in person.
The video's just not enough.
Video
This is it. You really have been time traveling.
Do we...
Do we really need to watch this again
This is 2054.
It's been 12 full months since...
Since...
Today, September 3rd.
That's right. September 3rd.
And you're watching this because I killed Michelle Kelly
and Emily haswell.
Hidden them away where this all began.
Good luck finding the bodies.
Jog your memory
The third.
What's today
Really Again Will, it is the fourth.
Doubling the dosage sent me two days ahead
Oh, my god.
Just stop.
You will now be escorted to a maximum security facility
- where you'll be held until... - Hold on Hold on
I assure you, Mr. Parker, this is not a dream.
I know I just need to get back.
Wait There's five more seconds.
What else did I say It's a clue.
No more clues, no more dreams.
No more of your bullshit. You need to face reality.
I'll confess. I'll confess
To everything
I'll tell you where they're buried,
I'll tell you how I killed them.
Just press play.
Please.
No, no, no.
Wait, I need five more seconds.
I told you to go.
I know.
I'm really not good at taking orders.
Listen, I can't stay with him.
I don't feel safe there.
Can I come in
- You're a lifesaver. - You can't stay.
Do you have anything I could change into
- I'll just grab a shirt from... - no, no, uh...
Don't go in.
- Hiding something - No, I'm just, uh...
I keep all my clothes out here.
Pretty damn weird, you know that
Do you have anything to drink
Um, oh, yeah.
The cheap stuff. My favorite.
And I'm sorry for coming back like this,
I just didn't know where else I could go.
You said you wanted to know what happened to you tomorrow.
You know...
It's funny, my life used to be picturesque.
The best schools, and the best friends,
and the best clothes,
and the worst guys.
I just... I resented all of it.
I wanted to just escape.
You know, drive across country on a whim.
Chop off my hair and dye it blue.
Live anything, other than my perfect little Dollhouse life.
Now I'm in this
I don't what with Johnny.
I've got nowhere to stay.
What the hell was I thinking
Sooner or later I'm gonna wind up dead and...
All the little dolls in the Dollhouse
won't give two shits about me.
Michelle, you got to go.
- No. - Please.
We apologize for interrupting
your regularly scheduled programming, but we have breaking news.
The police have issued an emergency Amber alert.
The police say Emily haswell, seven years old,
was abducted from her house on Hudson Avenue
- sometime last night. - Will, what's going on
[Broadcaster[ Emily was said to have last been seen at her home
by her babysitter at approximately 8:30 pm.
If you have any information regarding the disappearance
of Emily haswell, please call the number on your screen.
Again, the police have issued an emergency Amber alert
for Emily haswell, seven years old,
blond hair, blue eyes.
Will Parker, we're gonna need you to come down to the station,
answer a few questions.
- I didn't kill her. - Huh, for future reference,
if you wanna appear innocent, you might wanna wait
to hear the charges.
Michelle, this is the last time I see you.
Please, stay away.
You're awfully quiet.
I've seen these before.
Is that a confession
Did you guys get that
And I've been here before, too.
It's different.
It's changed. I didn't see this last time.
You high, will
What's that Mark on your arm
We found the same Mark on Emily's babysitter, Chloe.
She was passed out on the couch.
Do you know anything about that
Don't I get a phone call
Who are we calling
Jay topple.
It's not in here.
One call.
- Hello - Jay, listen...
Please leave any urgent message, or messages after the tone.
Jay, listen, it's me, will, we met yesterday, I think,
I can change it. I can change how it goes.
It doesn't have to be... I'm changing it right now.
Listen to me very carefully.
For the love of what is good, hang up this phone,
stay the course, stay awake.
Jay
Listen, antonia, I can help you.
We want the same thing, but you need to let me go.
How did you know my name
Well, maybe you'll have more luck with miss Kelly.
Who
Michelle.
If you need some help staying awake, like your buddy said,
we've got plenty of coffee in the back.
Just confess.
I'll feed you enough to tear your goddamn hair out.
Congrats, will.
Surprised you lasted this long.
We're still trying to locate that mad scientist,
but your gal pal was a bit more cooperative.
Good luck sleeping without your little friend.
What did she tell you
Not the girl, the drug.
My guys found this. We don't know what it is yet,
but we're running blood tests on the babysitter.
If it comes up a match,
consider yourself right back in that chair,
or maybe an electric one.
Pick up Pick up, pick up, pick up, pick up.
I'm outta this world. I'll let you know when I'm back.
Hey, Michelle, listen,
I need to know if you're okay, all right
I just got out of the police station,
and I have no idea where I am.
What the hell, Willy boy I almost killed you.
Just tried you cell.
Don't be an idiot. I don't talk and drive.
You look like death.
Listen, Michelle sent me to bail you out.
Now, my name better not have been brought up
from any of your shit.
If I'm implicated, I swear to god,
- I'll make you pay for it. - Is she okay
How about you let me worry about her.
- You worry about you. -Hey, where is she Where's Michelle, man
Oh, god, I thought this stuff was supposed to calm you down.
Not to have you spiraling like some lunatic.
Look at me, Willy boy.
Hey, you tripping right now
I told you not to be in public like this,
you god damn freaking junkie.
Listen, Johnny, Johnny, I need more, okay
The cops, they took my last vile.
- Please, I need to see where I'm going. - All right. All right
I'll get my guy on it, all right
- Let me give him a call. - Uh-huh.
- Anything - Voicemail.
- Damn it -No, no, I got your voicemail.
The one you left Michelle.
I'm gone one damn day,
and you're already making moves on my girl
Do you know who I am You know what I can do
Huh
You did it
Yeah, you're god damn right,
I did it.
I did what
You killed her.
Do you even know what's coming out of your mouth right now,
- you worthless piece of shit - You killed her, man.
You killed her.
You're framing me, man.
Michelle, she ratted you out, didn't she
It's all coming together now.
Yeah, I see what Michelle sees in you.
You two are perfect for each other.
You're both crazy.
What's that supposed to mean
She...
Johnny
Oh, my god.
Where are you
Where
I got you. I got you this time.
They knew. They knew. My prints...
Hey, will.
What are you doing here
What happened
What did you tell the police
I didn't talk to the police.
You're lying.
They asked for my info and said they'd call, that's it.
They're screwing with you.
Where did you get that
It was on the floor.
Why are you lying to me
That was in my room.
Did you go in my bedroom
Johnny's dead.
Good.
Good
You lied to me.
I lied to you
You used.
You said you'd never use again.
And look
Wait, what is this
Before Johnny died, defending your honor, mind you,
uh, he told me you're perfect for me because I'm crazy.
What does that mean
I'm medicated.
You're a junkie
Prescriptions, dick.
They call it borderline.
There's a bunch of other factors.
What factors
Quick to fight. I don't...
Like, low self worth.
Inappropriate relationships.
Do your meds help
They turn me into a vegetable.
I was boring, and tired, and...
And normal, Michelle
What happens when you stop taking the meds
Why are you acting like this
Did I do something to deserve this
Did I do something to deserve this tomorrow
What do you know about tomorrow, Michelle
Does this have anything to do
with what's in your room, will
Who is she
She's long gone.
- Who's David - Who's David
I never said anything about David.
- Who are you, Michelle - You're scaring me.
Maybe I'm not completely innocent in all this.
- Maybe I do kill. - Will, watch out
What are you waiting for
They're going the wrong way.
I didn't think you'd make it.
I thought you forget. Brought out some sense in you.
September 3rd. It's her anniversary.
One year gone.
I'm sorry, David.
She was my everything.
Is she okay
The amount of z running through her body is a lot for a girl her size.
You drugged her
I did.
It felt justified.
She's still breathing, the last time I checked.
David, she's just a little girl.
You're not the only one grieving about Gretchen, will.
I was relieved when I found out
the man who murdered the love of my life
was hurting, too.
But you're not really hurting, are you
You actually seem pleased with yourself.
Finding this one here.
Moving on with no regard for Gretchen
or for myself
or your family
I'm not moving on.
And they have nothing to do with Gretchen.
You lied, will,
to Gretchen, to me, when you said
you'd stop begging her for money and leave us alone.
And look what happened.
How could you
Your own baby sister.
I can't close my eyes without seeing hers.
Okay
Tell me, you like this girl, right
And what about this girl
I saw you talking to her outside your apartment.
You seemed... invested.
Is that what this is about
I hardly even know these guys.
You were concerned about her.
You can't.
Why should you get to care anymore
No, you lost your chance.
See, you don't get to care anymore.
Sit down.
She looks just like her when we were young, doesn't she
Beautiful blonde hair
David, you're not well.
Shut up You worthless,
bottom feeding piece of dirt
You disgust me.
You can just stay and hang with the rest of the bottom feeders.
You had to take her
My Gretchen My everything
And... and poison her
You killed her
And you know what they say, right, will
You do the crime, you do the time.
And yet here you are, a free man.
You murdered, and you got away.
You broke the law.
It was an accident.
Don't you understand that
Record your confession. Admit your crimes.
And then it's up to you,
however you want.
Gun.
Knife.
Drugs.
I don't care.
This won't bring her back.
Record when ready.
This is 2054.
David languish did it.
- I'm running out of Patience, will. - Wait
Delete it.
This is 2054.
It's been 12 full months since...
Since...
Today, September 3rd.
That's right. September 3rd.
And you're watching this because I killed Michelle Kelly
and Emily haswell.
I've hidden them away where this all began.
Good luck finding the bodies.
Guess there's nothing left to say.
That will never hold up in court.
It's obviously forced.
I have faith in the system.
You're delusional.
Who's first, will
Me.
That's the justice she deserves, right
You're right.
I killed her.
I'm the reason she's dead.
Kill me.
You bitch.
Untie them
Rise and shine, Willie boy
-You shouldn't be up yet. -Jay.
I might still have miscalculated the dosage.
Listen, listen. I've gone back.
What do you mean
I've gone back. I mean I passed out two days ago,
and I'm here.
Hey, hey, Jay
What are you doing here
- What -Look, and listen to me very carefully.
Not only is this my place of business,
- but it's a sanctuary. - Jay Jay, we did this already.
Listen, I'm will
Will Parker.
Look.
Will Parker.
What day is this for you
August 31.
You used.
Hey, hey, hey, you used.
Well, someone has to test the product.
And your brain reroutes like mine.
- Yeah, that's correct, will. - All right, well, for me
- it's September 3rd. - Fascinating.
And Michelle and Emily are at a lake
because they're about to be murdered by a sociopath.
No, no, no, no, listen, you're detoxing.
- Detoxing - Of course.
Your neurological pathways are under construction.
The z's wearing off and your mind is sending your consciousness back
to finish your scheduled timeline.
- I can save them. - No, no, no, no, no.
- No, you cannot. You can't. - I can save them.
Yes I can. Listen, things have changed.
I've lived different events. Things are different.
- All right, there's choices. - Will, there's always choices,
- but the consequences... -screw all the consequences, Jay.
Do you want that little girl's blood on your hands
Do you want Michelle's blood on your hands
Mine Leave the lab.
Get your hands dirty.
You said that no one man can change the future.
Well, we're two men, okay
Nothing's written.
What did you say to me about dying in the name
of scientific discovery
It's equitable to living forever.
Let me fetch my sweatshirt.
Now will, what you're about to see may surprise you,
but for time's sake,
please know that you can trust me.
You've been stalking me.
You've been stalking me
Well, after tripping to our interaction
in the lab yesterday, i... I determined
I'd better research you to see what business you had
being in my presence.
Have you ever killed a man, Jay
No. That's not in my character.
We'll see about that.
Hey, are we doing this or not
Oh, let's go
Emily
No, no
I'm home.
911, what's the nature of your emergency
I thought you died on me, will.
That made me very nervous.
- Where is Emily - She's upstairs in bed.
I expect her breathing will stop soon.
It's a fitting final resting place, wouldn't you agree
Here's your moment of truth, will.
Emily's upstairs. Her life's slowly slipping away.
Michelle's here.
Or should I say here.
Michelle.
It's okay. It's okay.
Will, where's the girl
She's upstairs od-ing on z.
Okay, okay, now go Make haste, come on
Come on, sweetheart, we have a long trip to go.
Come on. Right first.
To living forever.
Will, watch out
Does killing an old man factor into your justice system
He shot first.
You got a rationalization for everything.
Well, guess what I called the cops,
and they're onto you.
You called yesterday.
Yeah, I did.
They forwarded the call to my desk,
but nobody was there.
What
You're a cop
I told you I have faith in the system, will.
Nobody is coming for you.
Nobody will believe you.
You lowlife piece of shit, junkie.
Good night, will.
Good timing.
- You look like shit. - Thanks.
Jay
Can you take care of this
Call the police, ask for antonia rayburn,
she'll know the situation.
You don't want me to drive
I got this.
I thought that was it. I thought it was done.
I thought I had done my part,
and when it's all said and done,
maybe I'll say that I did.
You know, I shouldn't have let him go alone.
Oh, my god.
Will, it's me, it's your sister.
I need you to wake up now.
This isn't a memory. This is me.
Listen, the story's already been told.
Remember
Remember what happens
No more birthdays,
no weddings, no true love.
No kids, no more laughter,
no more rocks, no more sunsets.
No more drawing.
Brothers, sisters, mothers, fathers,
loved ones broken.
Everything broken.
Fish or cut bait, remember
Time to pick up the pieces and wake up, will.
Wake the fuck up
I couldn't save you, Gretchen...
But I can save her.
Good morning, sunshine.
What happened
You're in the hospital.
Emily
You made it just in time, will.
She's gonna be fine.
See why I don't drive
Hello
We literally owe you dozens of apologies, will.
Save them.
No, David languish was our responsibility.
We mistook his passion for justice as discipline, rather than insanity.
He planted those pictures in your apartment,
and he used the rest of the z we confiscated
to inject Emily haswell.
I wanna see the body.
No, he's... he's in police custody, will.
Not Dave's,
Jay.
We have not yet recovered Mr. Tupple's body,
but a search of the lake is being performed as we speak,
and it shouldn't be long before he turns up.
We did, however, discover his drug lab.
Any indiscretions you may have had with the z in the past
won't make it to your record, will.
But Mr. Tupple singlehandedly manufactured hundreds of vials
of an illegal substance.
Not to mention that witnesses claim
that Johnny lugatti was killed
by a vehicle matching the description
of Mr. Tupple's red sedan.
He saved our lives.
Emily would be dead without him.
We all would.
Which is why when his body is recovered
in the dredge of the lake,
he'll be remembered a hero.
This will only take a minute.
And we're rolling.
Okay, good morning, Michelle,
can you tell me about last night
I... I tried to kill myself.
I took enough pills to kill a horse,
and then I woke up here.
Can I go home now
Michelle, have you ever heard of z
No.
Look in the envelope in front of you.
It's a sleeping serum.
I think you might quite like it.
All right, Michelle, can you tell me about z
Any side effects when you sleep
Tell me about your dreams.
I don't remember what's real.
So, I think I'm starting to understand.
These dreams, it's like seeing the future, right
And I didn't get it at first, but it's almost like a dream.
If you don't see when it starts, you're just there in it.
You know, doing the thing, living that moment.
Michelle, I'm going to make a request.
There's a laptop in the bag next to you.
Take it. Record everything,
on your own,
immediately after your dreams.
I would also ask that you refrain from interfering
with any future occurrences.
Remember, if all else fails,
stay the course. Stay awake.
So, um, well, I've started to try to keep myself
fairly stationary,
I'm a homebody now, try to stay out of trouble.
Um, future flashes have become a little easier
to digest.
All that being said, the more aware I become
of my reality,
the harder it feels to function in it.
Okay, um, it is 4:02.
Sorry.
So, you, I mean, Jay, made another request.
He asked that I push z on this asshole,
Johnny, this dealer, I used to buy from.
And, well, it's working.
I went on a few runs with him.
Some stuff isn't exactly pretty.
I'm not sure that everybody feels the side effects the same way.
And not everybody should,
if you don't know what you're getting yourself into.
Well, let's just say dreams can turn to nightmares
real fast.
So, um, well, I'm not totally sure what to do.
So, um, Johnny killed a guy, you know, I mean, kind of.
It's not yet, but I, I actually saw it last night on the news
while I was tripping, and, um, so I rode today with Johnny.
And, look, I know, I know, I know what you were going to say,
but John, he was gonna bash this guy's head in
if he didn't pay for the z that I provided.
And this guy, you know, will, he seemed harmless enough.
I mean, gentle, even.
He's stable, far a z addict, anyway.
And from what I know.
Oh, shit, I've got to go take Johnny to the airport.
I... I'm gonna call you later.
[Sighs
hey, um, okay, so it is 4:00 pm,
and I just dropped Johnny off at the airport,
and, um,
well, here's a weird one,
okay, so, that guy, will,
he just called me, and, um,
you know what, I'm gonna call you.
Oh, geez, listen, Jay, pick up your phone.
What happened last night
Where did he wake up
Do you know how fucking scary that is
So, I know you said stay the course.
Stay awake.
But I just took some z
to, you know, get a little, um,
perspective on this whole plan of yours, Jay,
and, so I have a dream, the pills, the... you know,
and then nothing.
Absolutely nothing.
I... I didn't wake up.
Just nothing.
Am I dead
Jay
Do I die
I'm not sure which is scarier,
not knowing what's gonna happen
or knowing too much.
Again, dreams can turn to nightmares real fast.
Hey, um, so, I'm at the hospital
will is in a coma.
I don't... I don't know.
I don't know if this was the plan or what.
I mean, I thought that was it. I thought I had done my part.
Maybe when all is said and done,
I'll see that I did.
I know I shouldn't have left him alone,
and for that I'm sorry.
Oh, Jesus, will.
You know, he never told me why he used.
What he saw to, like, justify his chaos.
I think most people take z to, like, escape,
to forget, to catch a break.
Come to think... maybe he took it
cause he was forcing himself to remember something.
Or someone.
Will.
Who are you, Michelle
Jay found me a couple of years ago.
I was a mess.
He showed me what this stuff could do.
I know, I just saw that.
I saw you.
I saw Johnny smash your head in in your living room.
So I was there, and I stopped it.
I thought that that was it for you, but it wasn't,
cause I kept seeing you die again and again,
and at your apartment,
Johnny in the street,
David.
So, every time we were there and we stopped it.
Jay was saving me.
You were saving her.
I was saving you.
That guy over there,
he would have been dead
if I hadn't have had him meet me here.
He's about to go home and realize he's been robbed
but that is better than what would have happened.
How do you know that he's not gonna die tomorrow
some other way
We're all just delaying the inevitable, right, will
Emily haswell could die in 50 years.
She could die tomorrow.
That time is worth something.
Jay's alive
Yes.
Can I see him
Look behind you.
Just kidding. I don't know where he is.
Look...
I know that you have some questions.
I do, too. I'm pretty sure that none of this
will ever make total sense.
And I don't always know Jay's plan,
but tomorrow,
2:00 am,
south main street,
a drunk driver hits and kills two people.
I have spent my entire life
looking for some kind of purpose or potential.
I think you have, too.
So, what do you say
Do you wanna go fuck with fate
What
Seeing tomorrow, will,
I already knew what you were gonna do.
