Three, two, one.
And...
We're live.
How you doin', Victor?
I'm doing great.
Thanks for askin'.
Okay, so just for the audience not familiar with you,
briefly introduce yourself,
and what you did for the infamous Vance Institute.
I was an ex-con
who got a second chance at life
when I came across one of Tobin Vance's self-help books.
And when I was done doing my time,
I became a nurse and nutritionist,
and started working at the institute.
Now, that's interesting.
You still credit Tobin Vance for saving your life,
even after all the things he's been accused of?
You can't discount his earlier accomplishments
just because things went south later on.
Results.
That's what I'm talking about.
In fact, that's all I preach.
If I told you I could save your dying child,
would you care how I did it?
No!
You'd only be concerned with the results.
If I told you I could erase all your fears, insecurities,
and personal issues,
would ya care how I did it?
No.
You'd only be concerned about one thing.
The results.
Him, what's his file say?
That's Daniel White.
His parents died in a fire when he was a child.
Has suicidal thoughts and tendencies.
Alcoholic.
Completed all of the Vance online courses.
Put him on the list.
No.
Suicidal tendencies are too unpredictable.
Tobin says, "They make the best members if they pass,
and if they don't, they got what they wanted".
Win/win.
Need I remind you
that you're only supposed to play your part and shadow me?
They missed the big picture.
It's almost like looking at
the cracks of the statue,
instead of the art itself. - Hmm.
Okay, put him on the list.
But if anything happens,
you have to repeat that statement to Tobin.
Copy that.
So you need to ask yourself,
what would it mean to you to get everything you want
in this world?
And that answer,
it better be amazing.
Let's back it up, okay?
Tobin Vance, for the past 20 years,
has been one of the leading self-help gurus in...
The US?
- In the world. - The world.
Over 20,000 people signed up for his course,
and he has ardent, dedicated followers, like yourself?
That's right.
It all came
crashing down!
Racketeering, sexual abuse, money laundering.
Many of the victims,
or survivors, as they prefer to be referred to,
say that they were manipulated,
that what started out as a self-help
and leadership seminar
became a cult.
Hello.
I am Dr. Elizabeth White,
and I'm here to say, congratulations.
You've all been chosen.
For what?
The Vance Institute Advanced Treatment Program, John.
This is a five day retreat,
where you will be guaranteed results.
You all have contracts,
and I'd like you to review the details.
So this is some kind of
advanced training?
Mm-hmm.
It's happening.
It's actually happening!
Yes, Frank.
And you are all followers of Tobin Vance
and the Vance Institute Training Program,
and we feel that you have the potential
to be active contributing members.
You filled out a form
when you came here today,
and we feel we can help you.
How?
You are all invited
to the Vance Institute Advanced Treatment Retreat Center
in Kirkcaldy, Scotland.
Wow!
It's definitely something to say wow to.
But we are also hoping that you'll say yes to it.
Please review the contracts.
We want to make sure that you are
freely entering into this agreement with us.
Yes, John?
It says this is $75,000.
Yes, but here's the good news.
That fee is waived.
You'll only be charged that amount if you decide to quit.
I don't know if I'm ready for this program.
You're not sure?
A five day retreat in the middle of the woods?
I mean, I just don't know
if I'm ready. - Are you not ready
to get over your problems, John?
I mean, I'd love that.
I'd love that.
But- - But...
But is the killer word, John.
I'm inclined to agree with you, John.
You're not ready.
That means Tobin does not want you in the program.
Wait.
Would- - Good luck, John,
with your life, and your issues.
Fuck!
Well...
The door is there.
Anyone else?
Great!
Now we have a group ready for change.
Welcome.
Welcome, welcome.
I hope you're all as excited to be here
as we are to have you?
Please, please, form a half-circle around the fire
and we can get started.
It's freezing.
That's not an accident, Lily.
It's freezing because life is cold, harsh, unforgiving.
Comfort!
Comfort breeds weak mammals,
and we're all mammals, are we not?
Struggles in life could make us stronger
or they could crush us,
but not us,
because we are about to evolve.
We're about to shed the husk of the weak,
the impulsive, the mournful, the deceitful.
Say yes to this!
Yes.
Now, before you were invited here,
you were given a request
to bring an item of extreme importance.
Now, this personal object should have significant meaning.
It should be a representation
of the life that you want to leave behind.
If you'll all pull out these objects, please?
When a lobster gets too big for its shell,
it breaks free,
and then it's weak.
It's vulnerable, it's raw,
and it needs to build a thicker, stronger shell.
We, here, now!
We are shedding our shells.
Now, we'll go around one by one,
and you can explain your object and its significance.
Jesse.
My parents sent me off to boarding school,
but I didn't quite fit in with the others.
The headmaster noticed that I had an eye for detail,
and said I might enjoy reading about
the greatest detective there ever was.
To this day, never been without a copy.
Sometimes people focus too much on the details
and they miss the big picture.
It's almost like looking at the cracks in a statue,
instead of the art itself.
Nicole.
My father gave me this doll for my birthday
the year before my mother shot him.
It was all I had left of who he was
- before he- - Before
your mother went to jail
and you became ward of the state at 13, right?
Right.
So that doll represents someone who is never really there.
These people were predators,
and you defended the sheep's cloak they wore.
Lily.
When I was little,
our house was filled with photos of my mother.
I look at this photo,
think that my mom was a princess.
She died of cancer when I was 14.
Your mother was Feria Lee?
Yes.
Okay, from 1980, she started modeling,
and did her last runway in 1986.
Then from '86 to '92, she raised you, wrote two books,
trained show dogs,
and increased funding and research for breast cancer,
and yet, the image you hold onto
is something that existed for six years.
If I asked your mother what her greatest accomplishment was,
do you think she'd say her modeling career?
Frank.
This is a game token from Time Warp Arcade.
Go on.
Was.
It's an arcade token I've kept with me since I was a kid.
You liked arcade games?
I was obsessed, yeah.
You told us you lost your brother in a car accident
when you were 11, right?
Yeah.
And where were you going when the car got in the accident?
Time Warp Arcade.
Who was driving?
My dad.
You get along with your father?
He hates me.
After that day, did he hit you ever?
All the time.
Hmm.
You think you deserved it?
Well, I did, yeah.
I was the shit brother.
Frank, look at me!
Your father was driving.
You blame yourself.
You play that victim card.
But your father was too weak of a person
to admit that it was his fault,
and he blamed you,
so you carry the weight of that blame.
You carry the weight of that token,
and it's weighing you down.
You haven't even begun to become the man that you could be.
Daniel.
I see where this is going.
Okay.
This was my dad's...
My dad's favorite bourbon.
And what happened to your father?
You know all about us.
That seems- - What happened?
He committed suicide.
You miss him?
Every day.
He blamed you for ruining his life, didn't he?
Yeah.
Your father placed an enormous burden on you to carry.
You drink to feel numb.
Folks, I want you all to destroy these objects.
Place them right in the fire,
because these objects are holding us back
from becoming the people that we were meant to be.
Fuck it!
Hand it to me, Daniel.
I'll throw it in for you.
Don't, Frank!
That's Daniel's past to discard.
He doesn't look so good.
Frank has his own demons to face.
You're all free to throw on a blanket,
and Elizabeth will lead you back to the retreat house.
What's wrong, Daniel?
Don't like fire.
Daniel, look at me.
Look at me!
You could stay where you are.
You can live in the past,
or you could face your fears,
and become the person that you were meant to be.
I can't.
The retreat is about a quarter mile from here.
You can walk there yourself,
and one of my associates will get your
fucking worthless ass off my property,
you weak fuck!
And then we'll send you the bill.
Your phones.
Having no contact with the outside world
will be essential for your growth.
You'll be returned your phones by the end of the retreat.
Yes, Jesse?
What's with the rooms?
I'm not sure what that means?
The walls in the rooms, they're reinforced.
You're planning to lock us in?
God, no!
You can try the locks yourselves.
There's no way to lock them from the outside.
But they are soundproof.
Why is that?
In the past,
different people have reacted in varying ways
to the treatment.
Some yell and scream,
some laugh, some talk to themselves.
Either way, that is your own journey,
and not one to be heard by the others.
So when does all this start?
First thing in the morning.
And now, I have good news,
and then, even better news.
Each day, you will be required
to take these mental enhancers and vitamins.
They will help you to truly feel the effects of the changes
you're so ready to make.
You need to trust us, if you want results.
What's the bad news?
Yeah, you said there was even more good news?
Oh, [laughs] yes.
Tonight, you get to have fun.
Introduce yourselves, share stories.
I want you to truly get to know each other.
Tomorrow, your new life begins.
Hey, where's Daniel?
He wanted to be with his family
more than he wanted to grow into a new human.
But don't worry.
Those who fail
end up paying for those whose fees we've waived.
My name is Nicole,
and I'm here to get over some insecurities
and trust issues I've had stemming from my younger years.
My name is Frank,
and I'm here because I can't stand up for myself.
I'm Lily, and I'd like to
work on a eating disorder that I've had.
Jesus Christ!
What?
My name's Jesse,
and unlike you three,
I'll actually have the balls to tell you my real problem.
Hey!
None of you would've come here
if you had these minor issues.
Trust issues?
Go see a shrink.
And you, buy a book on personal power.
Hang on.
Don't assume you know anything about us.
That's just it.
We're supposed to get to know each other.
Truly get to know each other.
That's what Elizabeth said.
So Nicole, wanna tell us why you're really here?
I was raped by my father.
I...
I didn't...
I'm sorry.
There was a time where I couldn't even say that out loud.
But as much as you seem like an asshole, Jesse,
you're absolutely right,
I'm here to change.
And Elizabeth told us to share our stories.
So...
What's your story?
I'm here for anxiety and depression.
It may not sound like much,
but
sometimes I can't leave the house because of it.
I get in a funk, and I can't get over of it.
My eating disorder is bigger than just a normal issue.
I can't stop myself.
Well, I've been bullied my whole life.
When I was 12,
a bully beat me up in front of the entire school,
and I peed my pants when it happened.
After that, I was known as Frank the Urinator
for the rest of school.
Go ahead and laugh, guys.
I mean, we are meant to be
gettin' to know each other, after all.
And besides,
I think this booze is startin' to kick in.
- Everybody okay?
- What the hell is that?
I'm assuming it's a sign to tell us it's time to go to bed.
No.
Alcohol.
Is this alcohol affecting you?
Yeah.
Am I dreaming this?
Day one, the followers were given
some kind of drunk cocktail,
which appeared to knock them out.
It was potentially causing hallucinations.
How did you know she'd kill him,
and not the other way around?
We didn't.
So where is Tobin?
Where is he?
Come on, man.
I don't know where he's at.
Oh, come on, man!
Stop bullshitting me.
You know where he is.
Come on, admit it.
He's still running the Vance Institutes.
He's still running this shit, but from...
He's hiding.
He's in hiding.
But where?
There's reports he's in the UK.
Yeah, in the UK,
And he's still selling this bullshit as wellness retreats.
That's the reports.
I don't know shit, man.
Good mornin'.
Sleep well?
Yeah.
You?
I passed out.
I did, too.
I know, Frank.
I dragged you to your room.
You seem fine, Jesse?
Yeah, I was hiding it well.
Well, if no one's gonna come out and say it, I will.
Did they drug us?
We took those pills on their orders.
Maybe mixing them with alcohol did it?
Good morning.
First light was a little rough, eh?
Maybe you needed to let off some steam?
That's what you call it?
Did y'all get a little crazy?
Maybe it was the drugs, Tobin?
Oh, yes, the vitamins we gave you.
Don't worry, they still did their job.
What the hell does that mean?
The vitamins,
they sometimes have a reaction
with extreme levels of alcohol.
Maybe we should have warned you?
But you are all adults.
I mean, Jesse here, he looks fine.
Well, I've been able to handle alcohol my whole life.
My family are all big drinkers.
Got it.
How 'bout you, Nicole?
What?
I mean, did you have hallucinations?
No.
No, just a head rush.
You see?
I mean, y'all look tired,
but do any of you have the classic hangover symptoms,
headache, shaking hands?
You see?
The vitamins do work!
Folks, we know all about you.
We know your fears, your weaknesses, your issues,
your hopes, your dreams.
Elizabeth here has your applications.
And from now on,
the rest of this retreat will be focused on results.
That's a word I love to use lately.
So last night, y'all needed to let off some steam.
It's fine!
But now, we have to start with a clean slate.
The question becomes,
how do we clean that slate quickly?
And what, are these gonna do this?
They'll help you focus.
Take them.
You do what I say!
Who's ready to focus?
Now, how did you all feel when I yelled that way?
That was scary, right?
You reacted.
When you're upset, when you're angry, depressed, any of it,
that's all you can focus on.
Wouldn't you agree?
Let's say this.
Say you're driving down the road,
and you're living with those emotions.
You're angry, depressed, sad, something like that,
and a deer runs out,
and runs right into your car.
What happens?
You react.
The adrenaline kicks in.
Exactly.
Good.
Good job, both of you.
Let me ask another question.
When you're dealing with that situation,
what happens to your anger, your depression,
and your sadness?
They disappear.
Bingo!
Good.
Nicole, good.
All you can focus on in that moment is the reaction.
Have any of you heard of the Schmidt's sting pain index?
It's a measure of the amount of pain
given off by an insect bite or sting.
Level one is your basic bee sting,
and it goes all the way up to level five.
Level five is shared by three creatures,
the bullet ant, the tarantula hawk,
and these little bad boys right here,
the devil's tooth leech.
This creature transmits a venom into its victim.
It's excruciating.
It lasts for up to five hours,
but then, it's over.
We are growing.
You were raped.
You are a weak person who's bullied at every turn.
You suffer from crippling depression.
And you can't say no to anything, especially food.
Folks, don't shy away from these issues!
Own them!
Focus on them!
Let them flood your mind.
Close your eyes and do this.
Now...
Are you focusing on your issue?
Yes.
Good.
Please, please, please?
You do what I say!
I will not ask you again!
You think you scare me?
You tell me.
I took a bullet to the shoulder once.
Oh, yeah?
Where was that?
I can't.
You say yes to everything else,
and you're gonna say no to this?
Are you crazy?
What the hell lesson is this teaching us?
You obviously weren't listening.
No!
No, I won't do this!
No-
Now, who's still thinking about their problems?
Pretty intense first day, huh?
I'd say so.
What the fuck was that?
No way was I letting that fuckin' thing sting me!
Listen, they're just trying it to get inside your head.
Of course they're tryin' to get inside our heads!
That's the reason we're here!
I'll be honest.
I feel great!
- What?
I faced a challenge!
I didn't back down!
You know how long it's been since I tried something
and I was successful?
You call that success?
Is there any other way to perceive it?
Well, what was it for?
To fuck with us.
No!
To clear our minds.
I don't know about you,
but my mind is clear.
Whatever you say, man.
Let's just see how tomorrow goes.
You should embrace this training.
Training?
I'm not gonna take a fuckin' bite from a giant leech!
I'm not crazy.
No!
Good morning.
Let's get started on day two.
Shouldn't we...
Shouldn't we wait for Lily?
Lily is on her own path for now.
Hey.
Oh, hi.
You're- - The guy from the speech.
Elizabeth gave me a call and said I was back in the program.
You gotta be kidding me?
What?
I guess I'm being kicked out.
What do you mean?
I failed to do the exercise yesterday,
and I was punished last night,
and now I'm gone.
Hey, nobody told me I was replacing anybody, okay?
I mean, did somebody talk to you?
No.
They just tortured me.
Yesterday, Tobin challenged us to get bit
by this devil's tooth leech thing.
I refused.
And last night, I woke up tied to my bed,
and there were a dozen on me.
Holy shit!
I mean, were you bitten?
So many times that I blacked out.
Wow!
I bet it was hard to focus on anything
while that was happening?
You sound just like Tobin.
I do.
Well, hey, okay, I'm just
trying to figure out what the lesson is in there.
Whatever.
I guess that's why I'm being kicked out?
Hey.
You're still here.
Hey, I don't see any bags packed.
What's your name again?
John.
I'm Lily.
It's nice to meet you again.
You know, John,
I don't know,
maybe in some sick way I needed that last night?
But honestly, when those bugs were biting me,
you were right.
There was nothing else on my mind except for...
Surviving.
And maybe that was Tobin's lesson?
I guess.
And nobody's asked you to leave?
Nobody.
Then I'm sure you're still in.
And you can beat this eating disorder.
I never told you that's what I was here for.
I'm sorry.
I was just...
I was makin' a guess.
I'm so fucking insensitive!
So fucking [mumbles]!
What the fuck is wrong with you?!
You're just so fucking insensitive!
Just lose your fuckin' shit,
and you just fuckin' say something like that?!
Fuck.
When you want something in life,
you can't wait for it to come to you,
'cause it never will.
Imagine if I had a rabbit right here,
what would be the first thought that came to your mind?
Don't mind if that thing bites us?
The essence of a rabbit is to run.
It runs to its next survival spot.
You need to have this essence.
Do you understand?
I don't.
That's fine.
Nicole, let me make it as simple as possible for you.
What if I told you there was a rabbit here on these grounds,
and if you could find the rabbit,
the rabbit was your issue, and you could catch it,
would you try to catch it?
Yes.
Then when you caught it, what would you do with it?
Let me guess.
You're asking us to find and kill this rabbit?
Is that what you think?
You think a simple rabbit hunt will solve your problems?
There's no stakes there.
I don't think that'll do anything.
Then what's the game?
"The game?"
There's no game.
This is life.
This is survival.
How are y'all feeling?
Those pills you just took weren't vitamins.
They're a fast acting poison.
You'll all be dead within 20 minutes.
You're jokin' with us!
What the fuck?!
I assure you, your death is imminent,
unless- - What do we need to do?!
You can use these trackers and find the rabbit.
The rabbit has the antidote in its blood.
Catch it,
and you live.
- Move!
Instead of anger,
let's focus on relief.
The fear of death changes most.
How will it change you?
I wanna get the fuck out of here.
Likewise.
And why is that?
Tobin tried to kill us out there.
What?
How?
He fucking poisoned us.
Focus!
I'll ask a simple question.
Do you want to stay?
Fuck no.
I want to.
Lily, do you want to stay?
I'd like to keep going and see where we're headed.
Jesse?
Not 100% sure.
Yes or no!
If you'd let me finish,
I was going to say, I'm not 100% sure...
But, yes.
After you got poisoned today?
Yet, you are all still here.
Because of the antidote.
Yes, there was some danger,
but that wasn't all that happened.
What I saw was victory.
Don't you see?
You all came here with such massive problems,
and in just two short days,
where are your problems now?
You're all free to leave anytime,
but you know the deal.
You'll owe us the $75,000 for the treatment.
So you're just gonna keep us here to blackmail?
No, Frank, we're only honoring the agreement
that you freely entered into.
Where is this going?
Each day has gotten worse, and worse, and worse.
But you've got so much better!
I know this is hard to believe,
but if you trust the process,
you will see results.
I'm not takin' another fuckin' vitamin!
Yeah.
Me neither.
Fine, I'll eliminate that.
Are we good?
I wanna give this my all.
Yeah, I guess I'll stay here.
I can't.
We'll continue the program tomorrow.
Day three, Tobin made us swallow a poisoned pill.
I'll wait until the time is right to make the arrest.
Hoping to avoid any damage.
Hey.
Jesse, right?
And you are?
John.
We met at the speech.
That's right.
What are you doing here?
Tobin called,
said I was back in.
Hey, man,
I'm a friend.
I don't know what your issue is.
Clearly, mine is boundaries.
Personal space.
Whatever we all thought this was, it's not.
What are you talkin' about?
What the fuck do you think she's talkin' about?
The drugs, the poison, the manipulation.
It's a maze out there.
Are you fuckin' blind?
Oh, wait, you didn't have to experience any of this,
did you, Lily?
I did.
What are you talking about?
The leeches.
No.
No, no, you bailed on that.
You didn't have the guts.
Maybe so, but that night after I bailed,
I woke up tied to the bed,
and they were all over me.
- You see?! - What?
You didn't sign up to be tied down!
I didn't sign up to have my fucking life threatened,
or have to eat a live fuckin' bunny.
Yes, Jesse,
but I'd be lying if I didn't admit
that I understood the lesson.
I mean...
Oh!
I mean, I get it!
Like, sure, I expected like hallucinogens,
or mushrooms, or somethin'.
Okay, guys, it's been pretty extreme,
but this is Tobin Vance!
Tobin-fucking-Vance, indeed!
Okay, even at the initial conference where we all met,
what did he say?
"Results."
He promised results!
If your baby was dying, and he had a solution,
would you care what he did if he got results?
- Well- - No!
No, you fucking wouldn't!
Well, guess what?
It's not your babies that are dying.
It's you.
It's us!
We're fucking dying out here,
and he is offering us a second chance at life!
I know I haven't been here for the intense stuff,
but I'm fucking ready!
And Elizabeth says that you're all rock stars?
I am honored to go on this journey with you.
He's good.
We'll see.
Mask.
And then I started hearing all these weird stories.
I mean, really weird stories about
these extreme wellness retreats.
Extreme.
So when did it all start to unravel for you?
For me, it was the experimental retreats.
They became too violent,
and- - Violent?
Too militant,
and- - Militant.
Everyone was trying to outdo each other
to get to the top of the organization.
The top being Tobin.
Tobin Vance!
Right?
Thank you all for making it this far.
Today's exercise is a variation of
something called family constellations.
John here has been through a lot in his life,
so we're gonna aid him
by guiding him through a moment in his history,
taking on the traits of his family.
John, do you understand?
Yeah, I think.
You simply go to each member of the group
and assign them a role in your family,
and then we'll improvise a moment from your childhood.
John, assign each member
of the group a role from your family,
and then let's begin.
The first memory I have of my family,
I was in my room,
and I heard a noise,
yelling, screaming, pleading.
And when I went to find out what had happened,
my sister was in the corner.
She didn't have any pants on.
My mother was hitting her,
slapping her, cursing at her.
Quiet, you pathetic, little ingrate!
Please, Mommy, please, no!
Wait until I tell your father.
My father was putting his clothes on.
The cunt, the filthy fucking rapist.
Jesse, you play me,
and walk in.
This is fucked!
Let's do this...
For John.
I can't do this.
I can't hurt anyone.
But you did, you did.
You raped my sister.
You beat my mother.
And you did stuff to me.
You monster!
You think, wee man?
Just wait.
I'll show ya a real fucking monster.
[sobs] Daddy, please don't hurt him!
Please, Daddy, don't hurt him!
Come on, Dad.
Show me what you got.
I will fucking destroy you!
- Good, Frank.
How do you feel?
Do you feel powerful?
Yeah.
Big man hittin' women.
Jesse, walk in and ask what's happening.
What's happening?
Nothing's happened dear.
I just hurt myself again.
I'm just clumsy.
Go to bed now.
I'll tuck your sister into bed.
You monster!
You fucking monster!
You are this.
You are sick!
You are deranged!
I'll show you the biggest man you've ever fucking seen!
I will fucking devour you!
Don't!
Frank, stop!
No!
What?
What did I do?
Perspective, ladies and gentlemen.
Good, bad, ugly, it's humanity.
It's disgusting!
It's painful,
but it's manageable,
if we can explore how it unfolds, and how we perceive it.
What is going through your body right now?!
I'm scared.
Scared of who?
Scared of you.
Expand on that.
Scared of who?
You're scared of your father.
Yeah.
You inhabited him very well, huh?
[sobs] I don't know what the fuck.
Frank, did you feel powerful
when you were telling everyone else what to do?
- Maybe. - No, no, no, maybe!
Okay?
Yes, strength and power!
I want you to hold onto those things.
It wasn't for the right reasons,
but you hold onto them.
Frank, look at me!
Look at me.
Okay?
Strength, power, courage, initiative.
You are not your father,
but you can take his best qualities
and keep your moral compass.
I felt like I was turning into someone else.
You were experiencing the emotions of John's sister.
Telepathy is real, folks.
It exists when we let others inside our experiences,
but we can't let everyone in.
How'd they do, John?
I hate them.
I hate them,
but I understand them now.
I think we all learned a lesson here today.
Please exit the hall.
We're finished for now.
I highly recommend a nap before the next stage.
Food and drinks will be brought to your rooms momentarily.
This exercise is so emotionally draining,
you may feel a bit strange,
so I would like you to eat and drink everything,
as you'll need all the calories to replenish your energy.
I can see the worry,
the fear of anticipation,
but today is simple.
Shooting.
Riflery.
When the world is holding you back,
you need to focus your aim on your goal,
so that when life propels you forward,
you can hit your target.
There's something so simple about picking up a rifle,
pointing at your target, setting your sights,
and then, bam,
hitting the target.
Today, I need your energy up, folks.
There'll be no more vitamins or pills.
Or poison?
Or poison.
Just pure adrenaline for a simple task.
Each of you will pick up a rifle,
and point it at that target,
and that target is your issue,
and the bullet is your energy.
I want you to flood your mind.
Focus, truly!
When that is filling your mind,
your issue is in your mind,
that's all you can focus on,
then you pull the trigger,
and you destroy that problem!
Simple enough?
Anyone shot a rifle before?
I have.
Good.
John.
Good.
Now, breathe.
Focus.
Okay.
That target is your problem,
and that bullet is your energy.
When you are ready, you let it go.
Great!
John, how do you feel?
I feel freakin' amazing.
Frank, you're next.
Try again.
Great!
Lily, you're next.
Focus.
Try again.
Don't disappoint me.
Jesse, you're up.
Amazing!
Jesse, where did you learn to shoot like that?
Boy Scouts.
Wow, I didn't know they had rifles in Boy Scouts?
I'm glad.
Piece of cake.
Well, hang on then.
Maybe this is all a little too easy?
What the hell is this?
This?
This is a pig who raped three women.
Let's welcome Henry to our little party.
Hang on.
No, no, you hang on!
You make a choice right now.
Don't think, react.
You can hit the target, or you can hit the pig rapist!
No, we have to
call the police. - Stand down, Jesse!
Fuck you!
If Nicole does that-
No one moves!
Your choice.
Killer.
Come on, don't do this!
- You're not a killer!
You don't fuckin' know me.
One more.
No, Nicole, stand down.
Let her do it.
What did you say?
I said, "Let her do it!"
You don't make the rules here, John.
I'd watch myself, if I were you.
Day four is over.
Let's go back to the cabin.
- Hey.
So you don't have the balls to finish him off?
John...
Let me show you how it's done.
- John?
- No, don't do it! - No!
- Yeah!
- Out of my way. - Jesse.
Bro, what are you doing?
Jesse, wait!
Everybody stay back!
- What are you doin', Jesse? - We've got a situation here.
A fuckin' murder!
It's you.
A man just got murdered,
and shit is about to go down.
I'm a police officer.
Do you understand me?
Okay, so these people who sign up
a bit skeptical, wouldn't they,
in light of what's goin' on?
He's convincing.
He's what?
- He's very convincing. - So was Hitler.
So was Hitler.
You give that man a stage with a few people,
he'll have an army of followers in no time.
Wake up, Nicole.
Who is that?
I'm proud of you, truly.
You showed real initiative on the range.
You must have an anger inside.
The first night I was here,
did I kill him?
Yes.
You are strong.
You are not a victim.
I know everything about you.
I know your thoughts.
I'm in your head.
You're not weak.
You're a fighter!
And you will prove that, finally, once and for all.
Is this your idea of a cure?
Turn me into a murderer?
No, I promised you I'd give you results.
I'd cure you.
Your weakness was taken away
from something that happened a long time ago.
Tell me what that was,
and don't dare give me that story
about your mother shooting your father
and you becoming ward of the state.
My father raped me when I was 12.
Yes.
Say it again, Nicole.
My father raped me when I was 12.
What happened after?
After I reported him,
nothing happened.
Nobody believed me,
and then, he left.
He left my mother and me,
and we never saw that piece of shit again.
That memory is holding you back.
You need to get your father out of your head.
There's no way that's ever gonna happen.
What if you can get him out of your life?
Where did you find this pig?
You don't need to know that.
All you need to know is that he is here,
and he is the source of your weakness,
and if you can rid the world of one more piece of shit,
then you will rid the world
of everything that is holding you back!
No, leave it on.
I don't wanna hear his voice.
I hear it enough in my head.
You can make a choice, Frank.
You can prove that you could stand up for yourself.
I'm not the person I was.
I could man up.
I could do things.
Good, Frank, good.
You just tell me what I need to do.
Take that bat and crush it.
Smash it to pieces.
What are you waiting for?
It's...
It's crying.
What are you doing?
It's...
Is that...
Pick up the bat and smash it.
I can't.
Yes, you can!
Pick up the bat and smash it!
Do it!
No!
Crush your fears!
No!
Good, Frank.
Good.
What's he doin' here?
John here doesn't hesitate.
He takes what he wants.
That man is a pedophile who needs to be punished.
So what now, Frank?
You made a choice.
You stood up to me.
I'm so sorry!
I couldn't do it.
I just couldn't go through with it!
Dammit, Frank!
You were there!
You were so close!
You stood up to me!
You challenged me, and then...
Blew it.
Get him the fuck off this earth!
Sorry, Frank.
Lost another one, huh, Tobin?
What the fuck is going on?
Lily.
Oh, Lily,
I'm proud of the way you've embraced these trainings.
What the hell?
What happened to Frank?
Focus, Lily.
I'll handle this, John.
Lily, my dear, you've done well.
You've changed!
But you really haven't faced that many challenges.
Is Frank dead?
Are you gonna kill me?
Shut it!
You say Frank's name one more time,
and I swear to god,
I'll have John put a bullet in your head,
just like he did to Frank!
Now, what do we have here?
We have a final meal.
A last supper, so to speak.
What does that mean?
John?
What are you gonna make me do?
You're going to eat that.
You're going to eat the weak.
Initially, we were just gonna have to have
you eat some leeches,
but things happened,
and, well, Frank's weak,
and if you eat Frank, you'll be eating your weakness.
I can't.
You can and you will!
No.
Say yes to this.
You say yes to everything else,
say yes to this!
No.
Put the fucking skin in your mouth!
Don't any of you fucking move!
Lily, pull your chair back.
You're a fucking murderer, Tobin Vance.
And you, too, John.
Whatever the fuck your name is!
I take it you're working for Vance, too, huh?
Well, guess what?
You're all going to jail.
I'm a police officer.
That's right, dickhead!
I've been documenting everything.
And I've seen you fucks kill people.
Twice now!
You're gonna pay.
Haven't we changed you, Jesse?
That is a fucking joke!
This whole retreat is a joke.
Then shoot me.
What?
Shoot me.
Let's see if you have the guts.
Oh.
Oh, I have the guts.
20 years on the force.
So what?
You're an undercover cop?
You stay the fuck out of this, John!
Had you figured out all along!
Sit down!
No, you're gonna have to shoot me to learn.
To learn what, huh?
That I can put down a piece of shit?
I already learned that.
Do it now!
Shut the fuck up!
Both of you!
Pull the trigger!
You!
You fucking bastards!
You loaded my gun with blanks!
Did we, Jesse,
or did you?
What the fuck are you talkin' about?
I'm a police officer.
I've been a police officer for 20 years!
You're not a cop.
You're simply insane.
Elizabeth.
Jesse Donovan,
in and out of psychiatric institutions
since he was 12-years-old.
Rejected by the Police Academy six times.
Arrested twice for impersonating an officer.
But my gun?
Jesse, you're not a cop.
You're a nobody.
You're gun has blanks in it.
The same blanks you bought.
No.
Blanks.
Still do the job this way!
No, Jesse, wait!
That was the first time in a long time.
That was not the result that I wanted.
And Jesse, too, huh?
What's that?
You just keep failing.
Clean this mess up.
Maybe he's lost the ability to close candidates?
What are you getting at?
Tobin wanted Jesse as an acolyte.
Frank, too.
He wanted all of them, and he only got two.
Not to mention,
when he went easy on Henry at the gun range.
What are you saying, John?
Is Tobin the man he once was?
Victor?
So is that what he's doing now?
Creating an army?
You've got a problem.
You don't know how powerful you are!
But it's not your fault!
And you have no one to blame,
so you blame yourself!
I'm sorry, Tobin doesn't want you in the program.
I'm done talking about this.
I don't know shit about what he's doing.
Starting...
An army.
Your number one goal should be to find your purpose!
But you can't!
Because first, you need to find your enemy,
identify them,
so that you can rise up,
and crush them!
When you do that,
the possibilities are endless!
And you can rule the world!
I said I was done talkin' about this.
And when I say I'm done, I'm done.
Got it?
Got it.
You got it?
Got it out there?
Got it here?
Got it...
Got it everywhere again.
Now, let's talk about results.
