- Take the deal, it's a gift.
- No.
They can go fuck themselves.
- I'm advising you to take the deal.
- This isn't right.
I was so close!
- Right's got nothing to do with it.
This wasn't some minor infraction.
If you take this, they've agreed to keep quiet.
If you don't, you go to jail.
It's that simple.
I'll give you a few minutes to think about it.
[door opens and closes] [light piano music]
- They want me to leave school.
Never practice medicine again.
- I know, I know.
Let's just get this done.
[door opens]
[sniffs]
- Do it.
[somber instrumental music]
- I put in all the data, but I can't tell
why there are more outliers than there should be.
- Let me see.
[typing]
There you go.
- [Henry] How'd you do that?
- You, my friend, were in the wrong algorithm.
- And go. [watch beeps]
[rat squeaking]
[watch clicks]
- Time?
- Five seconds slower than normal.
- Now for the not so fun part.
Okay, withdrawing cerebrospinal fluid
from test subject one.
30, just a little bit more.
40 milliliters cerebral spinal fluid
withdrawing from test subject one.
- Jesus, more than ever.
[rat squeaking]
- Injecting cerebrospinal fluid
from test subject one into test subject two.
Come on, come on.
- Test subject one's experience of the maze
will be transferred to test subject two,
resulting in a lower run time.
[watch beeps] Go.
[watch clicks]
[rat squeaking]
[watch clicks]
- [Vic] Time differential?
- Less than half.
Fastest yet.
I think that we literally put that guy's memory
of the maze into that guy.
- This is for the greater good, buddy.
Okay, Henry, take it from here.
[Piano Sonata No. 14]
- I hate these things, don't you?
- Yeah.
- I'm Elizabeth.
- Oh, I'm Vic.
- I can play this.
- What is it?
- It's Beethoven's Piano Sonata Number 14.
Most people know it as "Moonlight Sonata."
- It's nice.
- Kinda sad, though.
He wrote it about a student he fell in love with,
and it ended badly.
- Huh.
- What class are you?
- Med school.
'09.
- Nice.
- You?
- I coordinate housing and social services for the homeless.
- Always thought I'd like to volunteer at a place like that.
- Really?
- Yeah.
- Well, you should come by then.
I mean, we could definitely use a doctor there.
- Oh.
I'm not a doctor type doctor.
Research is more fulfilling.
I like to help the masses, so to speak.
There's this thing that we're working on right now
that if it works out, it could be pretty huge.
- What is it?
- I can't really tell you.
- Oh come on, you can't just say that and then not tell me.
- Alright, I can tell you that if it all works out,
it could change the world.
- For better or for worse?
- Hey babe, Vic.
- Robert.
- Hey babe, why don't you just give us a second here,
just gotta have a little chat with my boy here.
- I didn't know you two know each other.
- Yeah we were roomies.
Not that I saw him much, I think he spent like what,
about two nights at home the entire time we had the place?
- Well, I will let the two of you catch up.
I'll be back in a minute.
- Hey man, what're you doing here?
- Same as you man, just catching up.
- This is my graduating class.
You didn't graduate, you remember lab rat?
You don't belong here, and you know why.
You gotta get out of here.
- Leaving so soon?
- Yeah, I got a big experiment at the lab.
I should, should get back.
- Oh, I understand.
Well, you should definitely come by the clinic.
- I will.
- Promise?
- Yeah.
- Okay, see you then.
- Hand me last night's report.
Vic?
[electronic beeping]
Vic?
- Oh, sorry doctor.
- Sorry doesn't get me the report.
Haha, excellent.
Even you two can get repeat results
by following the procedures.
Think it's time to publish.
- Oh doctor, before we do, I just wanted to discuss
the non-invasive method I've been developing.
It's really coming along-- - Vic, Vic,
we talked about this.
No need to fix what isn't broken.
Keep your hobbies where they belong, okay?
- Yes doctor.
- Good.
- Oh, one more thing?
I've observed that there's a secondary side effect
when we do the procedure.
- I don't wanna be distracted Vic.
Jesus, just stick with my directives.
- I can't take it anymore.
- He's just old.
- He misses the point every single time.
He's never ready for a result
that he doesn't already expect,
and when something new happens, he just ignores it.
- What are you talking about?
- Have you noticed when we do the cerebrospinal transfer,
the rat's personality changes?
- I think notice some change sometimes, yeah.
- No, no, no, not sometimes, every time.
- Every time?
- Remember yesterday's rat?
How agitated he was?
- [Henry] Yeah.
- After I did the transfer, it relaxed like that.
I don't know think that we're just
transferring sense memory,
I think we're actually transferring emotions as well.
- This non-invasive technique that you've been working on,
does it work on memory transfer?
- It's experimental, but so far the results are good.
- [Henry] Would it work on emotion transfer too?
[rat squeaking]
- No needles, no injections,
no need for unnecessary dissection.

[bell rings]
- Here's your regular, boys.
- Thank you.
- Anything else?
- No, I think that's it Doreen, thank you.
- To Doreen--
- [Both] The most unhappy person in the world.
- So, last night was revolutionary.
- I think we should tell Stein.
- Wait, why would you even consider
letting him take credit for this?
- Because this thing can be huge for all of us,
and we need Stein, we need him for grant money,
we need him for legitimacy.
- What we need is human trials.
- We'll be lucky if they let us try this on dogs.
Then it's gonna be months of paperwork
to even get to the primate stage,
and then we still need Stein to sign off
before we can even start the process.
- But that'll be 40 years and we'll be old fucking men
still working as lab assistants.
What happened to you?
- What happened to me?
You of all people know what happened with me.
I can't believe this, I mean.
I learned my fucking lesson, that's what happened to me.
- Well, you learned the wrong fucking lesson.
- I've lost my appetite.
- Shit.
- Once.
We'll try this out once, and that's it,
just to see if it works.
[light piano music]
Okay, all you do is relax.
[electronic whirring]
This is incredible.
The readings for that moment are just off the charts.
- Yeah, I felt it way more than any of the other positions.
- So wait, what does it feel like?
- It feels like...
Like I couldn't even imagine worrying about anything.
Like everything was just...
Good.
- [laughs] So was it like you were high?
- No, no, no, no, no, not like that.
It's...
It's a feeling of peace.
Like, like a mother's hug.
Not my mother of course--
- Well, clearly.
- You know, like an ideal mother.
- Credit card machine's down, cash only.
And don't use this as an excuse to screw me on the tip.
- Ah, she's in a good mood today.
- She seems sweeter than usual, yeah.
- Yeah.
[coughing]
- [Elizabeth] You made it.
- Yeah.
- You okay?
- Yeah.
- Ray, Tom, I'm gonna be right with you guys,
'kay, just give me a minute.
Alright, come on, I'll show you my office.
Ta-da!
This is it.
Glamorous, no?
- That's great.
- I'm glad you came.
The place is a disaster, but it does have its rewards.
One of the guys out there, Tom,
he's been in and out of shelters for months,
and I just got him housing.
- Oh, that's great.
Is that his file, it's awfully big.
- Well, I have to pass off his full history
in order to get the approvals from the clinics,
and it's, well anyway, it takes forever.
- You don't have a feeder database?
- I'm gonna guess that we don't have the budget for that.
- I could do it for you.
- Wow, that's really generous.
Thank you.
- My pleasure.
Come on in.
Grab a seat.
- 'Kay, what's the big emergency, what--
- I wanna test this on someone that is truly problematic.
- Why?
- We need to see what it can actually do.
- I don't, I don't know man.
- We need to.
[apprehensive instrumental music]
You keep him off his meds today?
[ominous instrumental music] [metallic screeching]
- Let me out of here!
These off of me, these off me!
Lord save my life, Lord save my life.
You can't trap me.
[panicked babbling]
- [Henry] It's alright.
- [Vic] You're fine.
[yelling]
Alright, it's fine.
- I'll kill you!
Kill you!
[panicked babbling]
I'll kill you!
Kill you!
- Why do you want to kill me?
- For the good of all.
[growls]
You can't chain me down--
- Okay, that's enough of that.
You ready?
- [Patient] I'll kill you, I'll kill you,
I'll kill you, I'll kill you, I'll kill you!
[belabored breathing]
- Hey.
[ethereal instrumental music]
- Thank you.
Thank you.
[crying]
Thank you.
- I can't believe this. [cash register kachings]
- We did it.
- We did it indeed.
So I've been, I've been thinking a little bit more
about what you asked me, and I think I've got it.
It's mudita.
- What's mudita?
- It's the Buddhist word for ultimate joy,
for appreciative joy, for exhilarating joy.
- Wow.
- The commercial applications of this are endless.
- No Henry, that's not the point.
That's not why I did this.
- So what is this?
- Since I added the data core, all you gotta do
is expand your bandwidth and throw in a few data clusters
and you should be good to go.
You're not registering any of that, are you?
- I tried, I've really tried.
I will make you a deal.
If you promise to never explain that to me ever again,
I will take you to lunch anywhere you want.
- Anywhere?
[bell rings]
- Really, this place?
- Would it help if I told you they have
really good hash browns?
- No.
- Well that's good, 'cause they don't.
- Where's your boyfriend?
- Oh Doreen, you cannot tell Henry
that I came here without him, please don't.
- So what's good here?
- Everything's good, I'm sure you'll enjoy it,
we're glad you're here, what can I get you?
- A grilled cheese sandwich.
- Grits or fries?
- Do you have cheese fries?
- Wow, you like a lot of cheese, huh?
- I'd have a cheese shake if they made one.
- We don't have shakes.
- Diet coke please.
- Wait, what about you?
- She knows, she always knows.
Good morning Dr. Stein.
- How could you?
- What?
- They were here when I got in.
- Doctor.
- There are rules.
- This is not what it looks like.
- I have the security footage. - Wait--
- And the patient from the center.
- Please, let me explain.
- That's exactly what I don't want.
- But-- - You're both fired!
Get them out of here.
[dejected instrumental music]
[phone buzzing]
[text notification goes off]
[knocking]
- Vic!
Come on Vic-- - Go away!
[crow cawing]
The key was for emergencies only.
- I'd say this qualifies.
You know, if you'd read or listened
to the 40 fucking voicemails and texts that I sent you,
you'd have known I was coming over.
- It's a good thing that we got caught when we did.
- Before you say anything, just consider this--
- Look how much damage we've done already.
I mean, it's a wake-up call, just let it die, okay?
- There is another outlook for this.
You can get this out through commercial application.
Or you can let it die right here in this room.
You have discovered something that no one else could have,
something that can change the world.

[electronic beeping]
Well?
- Let's go get this thing financed.
[laughing]
[elevator dings]
All we need is one of them to say yes.
With a product like yours, it's a no-brainer.
[sighing]
- Hey.
- Hi.
- [Receptionist] This way.
- Have you ever felt sad?
I know I have.
I've often wished that there was some kind of magical way
that I could make myself feel better,
to feel a mother's love.
And now, I have it.
This bracelet functions as a neurotransmitter
between the user and our program, Mudita.
This proprietary bracelet is fitted with conductors
that act as both a reference and a stimulating site.
- You get that?
- Which means that this bracelet
can transmit vital signs, emotional levels, et cetera,
both to and from the wearer.
With our program, Mudita, installed on your smartphone,
a connection is created between the device and the bracelet,
and this allows for all of that information
to travel back and forth between the user
and us back at our headquarters.
I don't have the time to get into the science of it
right now, but you can check out our website.
It's a secret website, and it has information that,
there's stuff that will better explain it in more detail.
- I still have no idea what this thing does.
- [laughs] Of course.
With this bracelet, we are able to access
a user's emotional state and then transfer feelings of love.
- So you're saying you can make someone
feel like they're in love?
- No, not in love, loved.
- Oh.
- I just remembered, the feeling is coming from a human
who is hooked up to a machine back at our headquarters.
- Wait, what?
Are you kidding [laughs]?
- There's no negative effects, it's all perfectly safe.
[laughing]
And I should clarify that it's not just one-to-one,
okay, one person hooked up to Mudita
can transmit to up to 300 people,
and, [laughing]
and with further research, we hope to up that to 3,000.
- Let me ask you this, what time do you have
to be back at the asylum?
- [Investor 1] So I'm gonna see you later on then, right?
- [Investor 2] Yeah, see you later.
- Gentlemen.
Sit.
That was one of the worst pitches I've ever heard,
a disaster.
But I looked into you guys.
What you do?
It's interesting.
Raw, unfocused, but interesting.
Let's not fuck around here.
I've got investors in my pocket,
you need them, and you are not gonna get them on your own.
I'm taking 51% of the company,
but at least you'll have a company,
and I'll let you run it any way you want.
Do we have a deal?
- Yes.
- Welcome aboard.
- [Henry] Well thank you so much, sir.
- Welcome to the big leagues.
- [Vic] Thank you.
- I'll be in touch.
- That's great, thanks.
- Liz.
- Vic?
- I'm back.
[dog barking] You know, I finally...
I finally feel like I'm able to see why I'm here.
- For dinner?
- No [laughs].
No, I mean the big picture type of here.
- I really did miss you.
- Elizabeth, I'm really sorry.
- I'm with Robert, you know that.
[door closes]
[upbeat instrumental music] [birds chirping]
- So, you ready for all this?
- Yeah.
- [Kirwin] Vic, Henry, I think these are
very fair consumer launch prices.
- You really think people are gonna wanna
pay 10,000 dollars a month for this?
I mean [laughs], that's ridiculous.
- I didn't come up with this.
We paid half a million dollars to Karis Analytics,
and they're the best in town.
According to their research, the one percent'll be
lining up, begging us to pay 10 grand a month.
[phone rings] [office bustle]
- That's, yeah, yeah, yeah, that's true.
- You got a money boner. - I got a money boner.
[doorbell rings]
[knocking]
- Coming.
[door closing]
- I could really use a drink.
- Okay, sure.
Wine?
- No, whiskey.
- So...
Is everything okay?
- I broke up with him.
- What happened?
- You're what happened.
[romantic alterative music]
[moaning]
[moaning and grunting]
- [Announcer] All audience members
for the Crystal Blue show, please take your seats.
- Okay, I'd be lying if I said
I wasn't really nervous about this.
- You have no idea how grateful
and the changes this has made in my life is unbelievable,
I cannot thank you enough.
- I'm so happy that we could make a difference.
- Absolutely.
- Can I get one of just the two of you?
- Sure.
- Oh, no, no, no, we're, we're a package deal here.
[camera shutters]
- Thank you.
- Thank you so much. - Not a problem.
- [Elizabeth] You and Paulie Senior are on the same show?
[audience applauds]
- [Announcer] It's Crystal Blue.
- And we're back with Harvard-educated inventor,
Vic Beckett.
[audience applauds]
This is pretty amazing Vic.
What do you think, you want him to try it out on me?
[audience applauds]
Well you heard them, make me happy.
[laughing] [audience cheers]
- Okay, may I?
- Oh, such a gentleman.
Of course. [audience laughs]
What, are you callin' the lifeline?
[audience laughs]
- Well, the whole system operates via smartphone,
so it just needs a moment to read where you are emotionally.
- So this thing is smarter than the average man.
[audience laughs]
- Okay, it looks like it's good to go.
Are you ready?
[audience muttering]
[audience applauds]
- This is remarkable.
I can't describe it, it's, it's an amazing feeling.
[audience applauds]
This is magnificent.
This deserves more than just my seal of approval.
[audience applauds] [whooshing and tinkling]
- Oh, Henry.
- What is it?
[phone rings] [office bustle]
- [Vic] We currently have 25 transmitters
broadcasting to 300 users.
- Great, how'd you select this group?
- Well, we've had thousands of applicants at this point.
We've selected a varying range of ages
and temperaments in order to track efficacy.
So far, it's been working beautifully.
[birds chirping]
We're still testing our limits.
Excuse me.
- What is going on?
- Shit.
- Hey buddy, hey.
- Hey, get the fuck away from me.
- Just calm down, calm down, okay, don't worry.
Just give it a moment.
This'll pass.
Ah, you feelin' better?
- Yeah, yeah.
- You good?
- Yeah.
- Okay.
- Sorry. - It's okay.
That was just a mild side effect.
It just simply means that he was transmitting too long.
Henry, make sure you're tracking how long he was on
and reduce his next session.
- Question.
How often does that happen?
- Well, it--
- Very, very sporadically, we just need to--
- That cannot happen again.
I barely got the approvals as it is.
Hey guys, if anyone caught wind of that,
we'd be back to square one.
- Wait, wait, it really very rarely happens,
it only, it's, it's, only--
- Make it stop.
- That is so not Henry.
- Oh yes, it is [laughs].
- He looks ridiculous.
- You should see him, he's with a different Russian model
every single night.
[gentle piano music]
What?
- Is that what you want?
- What do you mean?
- Do you regret anything?
- Of course not.
You're the greatest thing that's ever happened to me.
I wouldn't trade the last eight months for anything.
- Really?
- Yes really [laughs].
I don't do this for the money, I could care less about that.
I do this for the same reason that you work at the clinic,
to make a difference.
I don't need cars or suits.
I certainly don't need any Russian models.
You're my everything.
Do you have anything simple, I guess classic?
- [Jeweler] Oh, I have just what you're looking for.
- [Host] Enough, enough,
let's boil it down to brass tacks.
GE, diamond or dog? - It's time, it's time.
- [Reporter 1] I still think diamond.
- [Reporter 2] Ridiculous, dog.
- [Reporter 3] I say diamond, this is going to turn around.
- Looks like GE's still strong.
Next, the Mudita offering's coming out soon.
You've all had it in front of you, diamond or dog?
- I say diamond, princess cut at that.
Seems amazing, I think there's like
a million people waiting to sign up.
With their price points projecting four billion a year,
I say this is going to be the IPO of the century.
I don't own it, but I'm going to.
- Logan?
- I'm skeptical.
Love the concept, but not sure if it's hype.
I want it to be real, that's worth something,
but my mother always said, beware of things
that sound too good to be true.
[thunder claps] Frankly, I'm neutral.
- Fair enough, fair enough, come on baby.
- [Host] And you?
- Skeptical, more than skeptical.
I gave this to my science geeks
at the University of Chicago to analyze,
and they said it's science fiction.
It sounds like a scam.
Not to say that scams can't work,
but I also looked into the founder of this thing,
Vic Beckett, his background is sketchy.
This isn't just a dog, this is a pit bull
that ripped the face off your eight year old.
- So everybody, recap.
- Diamond.
- Neutral.
- Steroid-infused pit bull of death.
[host laughs]
- It isn't looking good for Mudita,
and no offense to the pit bulls out there watching.
[car horn honks]
[phone rings] [thunder claps]
- Hello?
No comment.
[dramatic instrumental music]
- You know the science, go make us look good.
- How?
- You're the face of this thing.
You go on the shows, you clear it up.
Fix it.
Look, you got an offer to go on Newsline.
You go out and you talk up the company.
If you play it right, no one is going to remember this
by the time the IPO comes out in six months.
We're more than good, Vic.
More than good.
- And we're back with Vic Beckett.
He is the founder of the very controversial company, Mudita.
- I don't know if controversial is fair to describe Mudita.
- You should call it blasphemous.
- How so, preacher?
- This is an abomination.
Emotions come from God, not from a machine.
- How do you respond?
- Well, it's, it's not a machine, actually.
The computer program acts as a conduit.
The emotions come from living people.
- This is where I take umbridge.
- How so? - The ethics
of hooking people up to some contraption
and tapping into their psyche, sapping their emotions.
- [laughs] It isn't sapping.
- This should not be a commodity.
Much more research is needed before I'd feel comfortable
signing off on anything of this ilk.
- That's quite a statement.
- And it happens that I agree with Preacher Jack, for once.
- Amen brother.
- Not for religious reasons, for scientific ones.
As a humanist, I don't believe this is the direction
that humanity should be taking.
- Well, we're gonna Father Jack and Dr. Karis go,
and we're gonna get to topic two in the hour.
Thank you gentlemen.
- Thanks for having me.
- Jesus loves you, Beckett.
- I'd like to discuss your background.
I mean, there's been a lot of controversy
and speculation about it lately,
and I'm sure you wanna clear the air.
- Yes thank you, I would really enjoy that.
- Wanna jump right in?
- [Vic] Sure.
- Why did you leave Harvard Medical?
- Well, after completing three years,
I realized what my calling in life was.
I've always been a research person through and through.
More of a scientist than a doctor.
And so I chose to leave to do what I love
so that I could do the most good.
- Hm.
You know what you're saying directly contradicts
the information that we've uncovered in our investigation.
Isn't it true that when you were in medical school,
you volunteered to work in the pathology lab
and perform autopsies?
- Yes.
- And isn't it true that your departure from Harvard
was precipitated by the improprieties
that you perpetrated in that said pathology lab?
- I, I don't know how this pertains to Mudita,
which is a great-- - Our records show
that there was a suicide attempt right after these charges.
Admit it, wasn't it true that you left,
you were forced to leave under this cloud of secrecy
due to those improprieties?
- I, I don't know where you're getting your information.
- [Becky] And didn't that cloud of secrecy
have to do with unauthorized experiments with the cadavers?
- Look, it was--
- Did you take body parts?
Did you take brain tissue from people
that had just died and without permission?
- There were no body parts.
- Why were the records sealed, Mr. Beckett?
I mean, if you left, as you said,
for the greater good and to pursue your research,
then why the confidentiality?
- This interview is over.
- For Newsline, I'm Becky Sanders.
- That bitch!
[dejected instrumental music]
I'm not losing this, I'm not.
[phone ringing]
- [Voicemail] You've reached Elizabeth, leave me a message.
- Fuck!
[heavy breathing]
[bugs chirping]
Let me explain.
- No need.
- Please hear me out, hear me out--
- You said no secrets.
- Liz.
- I don't care what you did in the past.
Okay, I care that you didn't trust me enough
to tell me the truth.
- Liz, you don't understand.
- No, you said honesty, and you did nothing but lie to me.
[shattering]
[phone ringing]
- I know, I was there, just stop fucking bothering me.
- [Henry] We have a problem in the lab.
- Don't you see, I've lost her.
- [Henry] No you don't understand Vic,
you need to come down to the lab.
- What's going on?
- I don't understand it, but everything is shutting down.
- What do you mean?
- Output is steadily diminishing,
we're having more meltdowns, I've removed over 60%
of our new beta testers, I don't know what to do.
- These anomalies, is this the first time we've seen this?
- Vic, those aren't the anomalies, they're the norm.
[typing]
[apprehensive instrumental music]
- There's not enough power.
Three beta testers, it's like trying
to run a high rise off a car battery.
- What do we do?
- We gotta shut it down.
- What?
- It's how we can figure out what this is, we have to.

[laughs] You got to be fucking kidding me, fuck me.
Jesus fucking, fucking, okay,
now where's the fucking cable at?
Oh look, there it is, there's the fucking cable,
I'll just plug it in directly.
[laughs] That's it, that's it, that's it.
That's it, that's it, that's it.
[phone ringing]
Henry, it's about direct contact.
'Kay, no, no, no, we've been doing this wrong.
We need no restrictions or obstructions,
we just gotta plug it in directly.
- [Henry] What the hell are you saying?
- I need to test this.
[heavy breathing]
[apprehensive instrumental music]
[pained breathing]
[pained grunts]
- Jesus Christ Vic.
'Kay Vic that's it, I'm stopping this.
- Either help me or you get out.
[electronic whirring]
Henry, it's working.
- You were right Vic, I admit it.
The output is exponential.
If we can figure out how to consistently
stay in direct contact, this will change everything.
- That's great.
Hey, imma get home.
Give me some more of those painkillers to get me
through the night, otherwise I'll be useless tomorrow.
- Give you some with extra power.
Just be careful, you know, they'll really knock you out.
- Thanks man.
Oh shit.
[bugs chirping]
Okay.
[pained breathing]
[crying]
[thunder claps] [rain falling]
- Hey, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, where are you going?
- I need to steal those?
- Why don't you just like, wait a day or two?
- No, I have see her right now.
- Whoa.
- [Vic] What?
- Fine, I'll drive you.
- Let's go.
- Okay.
- They said it's gonna be tight, but they can take you.
- Thanks Liz.
- Yeah.
- Hey.
Can I talk to you?
- I can't do this.
What happened to your head?
- It's nothing, it's, I just needed to see you.
- You shouldn't have come here.
- Liz, please I just, just come home.
- [Elizabeth] You're so wrapped up with Mudita.
- I, I know.
I know.
I can't help it.
I just...
I'm, I miss this place.
Is there anything that I can do to help out around here?
- That's not gonna change anything.
- I know. [thunder claps]
I just wanna help.
- Fine.
You remember Ray?
- Yeah, of course.
- He needs directions to this shelter across town
if you could go over it with him,
make sure he doesn't get lost,
that would save me a lot of time.
- This is right by where I'm going, can I just take him?
- That'd be really nice.
- Okay, I'll take care of it.
- Ray, Vic is gonna take you, alright, okay.
[thunder claps]
[catchy jazz music]
- I haven't been in a car for years.
- Wow.
- I used to have a car back in Texas.
- Oh yeah, where in Texas?
- Small town, all gone now.
Came here for a kitchen job, never came through.
- What about your parents?
- Gone too.
Just me now.
Thanks for the ride, guys.
- Oh yeah, no problem.
- Well, when you've got no one,
any kindness is appreciated.
- Hear that right?
You got no one?
- I have a sister somewhere, but I haven't heard
from her in years.
She had a drug problem.
I don't think she's around anymore.
- Sorry to hear that.
♪ I know you're not good for me ♪
♪ But I know that you're the one ♪
- Is that Elizabeth your girl?
- Yeah.
- She takes good care of me.

So many.
- [Henry] What the--
- [Vic] Pull over!
[car wheels squeal]
- [Henry] Are you out of your fucking mind?
- Help me get him in the backseat!
- Oh my god.
- [Vic] Come on!
- No, no, no, no, what the fuck,
I mean, you lost your fucking mind,
what the fuck are you doing man?
- I'm doing what it takes. I'm not doing anything to him
that I haven't already done to myself.
Think about it, there's no other way.
We need a temporary fix tonight
or we shut down and we don't come back.
Now help me get him in the backseat
before somebody fucking sees us!
Look, all I wanna do is expose
the outer edges of the pleasure center,
same as what I did to myself.
We'll get in, we'll get what we need,
and we'll close him up.
It's simple.
He won't remember a thing,
and you would have helped millions.
[saw buzzes]
- No, this needs to be reversible.
- Okay.
Let's hook him in.
[light instrumental music]
Alright, how's it look?
- It's working.
- It's more than working.
He could power the entire beta group.
You know, with this method,
one man could potentially power thousands.
- I mean, it's really incredible.
You were right.

[Piano Sonata No. 14]
- Mm.
I came home.
I couldn't stay away, I missed you.
- I'm glad you came home.
[moaning]
[electronic whirring] [pensive piano music]
[phone rings]
So what is it?
- There's a problem with Ray.
- Okay, even if something goes wrong,
we've got backup out here, let's just see
what we're dealing with.
- Okay come on.
You just see these negative spikes here?
He was fine for five days, and then suddenly,
diminishing returns.
- Hm.
I hate to think that five days is our limit.
Well, I think, I think we need additional research.
- Depends on what you mean.
- We just need to go deeper, that's all.
- Deeper?
- Yeah, let's open him up, prep him for surgery.
- I won't.
No, we agreed on surgery, and that's done.
- Whoa, hey Henry, look all I wanna do
is go inside and see what's causing this, that's all.
- No, this has to stop.
- You wanna stop?
We can't stop right now.
No, no, no, hey, hey Henry, Henry.
Stop, stop, hey.
Look at what we've achieved.
Look at how far we have come.
We are so close, we are this close to success.
- No, I can't, no amount of money is worth this!
- Money?
You think that this is about money?
All the violence, the misery, the loneliness in this world
and you think that this is about money?
No!
I can't live with that anymore.
Not when I can make a difference.
- You need to stop.
- A million violent crimes last year.
The world is filled with people who hate, who have no love.
What we're doing here is we're bringing goodwill.
This is the dream, Henry.
Together, you and I, we can change the world.
Come on man, help me prep him for surgery.

- [Henry] What is it?
- You see the discoloration and the relative size
of this portion of the brain?
That's severely underdeveloped,
most likely due to a lack of love as a child
or as an adult as well.
You see, he never exercised this part of his brain.
That's why we're doing this.
To bring love to the unloved.
- So what do we do?
- Think we just have to go deeper.
It's in there.
It's like fracking.
Just have to mine it out.
- Can you still close him up?
- Good as new.
You know I have the skills.
Do you trust me?
Where have you been?
I've been trying to get hold of you all day.
No, it's not, it's not paranoia, okay, just--
Can, can you just come by?
I don't wanna talk about this over the phone.
- You've been watching too many movies.
- We are being watched.
- Look, you're not being watched.
We have two million people on the waiting list.
Beta testing's going like gangbusters.
The investors think you're a genius.
You are golden.
I think it's time to stop worrying.
- You're not listening to me.
We need more time.
- What, we have what, three months before we launch.
It'll be fine, relax, enjoy it.
Mm?
Now get some sleep.
- See his reservoir of love?
Shallower than usual.
Look at how much it's diminished
in the last three days since we dug deeper.
I think he's just about dry.
But in the future, we should really watch our helpers
and figure out what our limits are.
- Helpers.
I don't think our limits are gonna be a factor anymore.
- I mean, there are limits Henry.
You know, the less love, it may run dry faster,
but they'll regenerate, as has been the case with all
of our transmitters, helpers should be no different.
In fact, I think we might be doing them a favor
by stimulating this part of their brains again.
I love the fact that he's gaining
something from this experience too.
- And when they run out, like right here?
- Oh, they're not low cost batteries Henry.
We're human beings, we are resilient,
we heal, they will too.
But they will have contributed so much to the world.
They should be proud.
I'm gonna get Ray here sown up and get him dressed,
put 5,000 dollars in his pocket,
I'm gonna drive him on over to Springfield
and drop him off at a shelter.
They'll take good care of him there.
After that, I'm going home.
Hey Ray, Ray.
Where were we?
Oh yeah, we're talking about Elizabeth, that's right.
Man, she is a great girl.
And I'm a really lucky guy, I know that.
You know, between you and me,
I'm gonna propose to her when we launch wide.
Shh, don't tell anybody.
Oh, don't you worry buddy, you'll find someone.
There you go, you got some sea legs, huh?
We'll work it out.
[distant organ music]
[knocking]
- Hello, we're not quite open yet.
- This man here needs some help.
- Of course, some in.
- I found him a couple blocks from here,
I figured it was my civic duty, do something about it.
- God bless you son.
I'll take it from here.
- Okay, you have a great day.

- Jesus.
- [Henry] Our competitors are spying on us.
- We moved to a new place.
- [Kirwin] What?
- We moved.
- You can't do that, you can't just move.
- We did not have a choice.
- Look, you need to discuss these things
with me before you make any decision.
You can't just allocate resources without my permission.
- Do you want this thing to launch as much as I do?
- I'm so sorry to interrupt, but you...
My grandmother is one of your beta testers.
She's been unhappy for a long time,
with multiple suicide attempts,
we though she was at her wits' end.
Your creation, it changed her life.
It turned her around.
You saved her.
I just wanted to thank you, thank you.
I'll leave you alone now, thank you.
- Whoa.
- Yeah.
Fine.
You moved the offices.
Where is it?
Vic, where did you move the offices to?
Vic?
- [clears throat] We believe that for safety,
only Henry and I should know where the new place is.
But I don't mind disclosing the location.
- No, no look, that is totally unacceptable.
- Now you said in the beginning
that I could run this any way that I saw fit,
and I need privacy to make this thing work.
- Okay.
If that's what you need.
But I want constant updates, yes?
- Done.
- Okay.
Look, you guys keep doin' what you're doin',
I'll handle the rest of the group.
- I'm going on my break.

to see how Ray's doing?
- Actually, I did.
Apparently he's doing really well.
He reconnected with his sister and headed back to Texas.

he didn't call me back.
- Well you know, I gotta be honest.
I don't know think Henry's coming back.
He may have fell victim to his own greed.
He's talking about taking off with one of those models
he's been running around with.
- Really, that's crazy?

but well, I wouldn't be surprised
if we never heard from him again.
- You're so dramatic.

without any contact from the user at all.
We transmit through microwaves,
through electromagnetic radiation.
Vic, Vic, this is your baby.

we'll be sending other emotions.
