NARRATOR: You've heard of the placebo effect.

But are you aware...

of the nocebo effect?

In which the human body has a negative physical reaction

to a suggested harm.

This will make you vomit.

This will make you vomit.

This will make you vomit.

NARRATOR: Your mind has the power

to create its own physical reality.

This will make you vomit.

NARRATOR: Why do we yawn when we see others yawn?

-NARRATOR: Throughout history,

-there have been incidents.

-The Dancing Plague of 1518...

the Tanganyika laughter epidemic...

...the Hindu milk miracle.

MAN: Hey...

Some believe they're a response to stress.

-She is our daughter! -She is my daughter!

You didn't have her by yourself!

WOMAN: I don't care anymore, what you have to say!

I'm done!

NARRATOR: Psychologists call it a conversion disorder.

In that the body converts a mental stress...

...to a set of physical symptoms.

In this case, a tic, or spasm.

And, like any disorder,

it can be contagious.

This kind of collective behavior

is not limited to human beings.

What we know is that, in certain communities,

under specific circumstances,

an involuntary physical symptom developed by one person...

...can become viral.

-NARRATOR: And spread,

from person...

What was that?

...to person...

: I... I don't know what to do.

Steph, just calm down.

It's gonna go away.

...to person...

How are... how are you?

NARRATOR: ...until the entire community is infected.

But you don't see other signs of, uh...

NARRATOR: And so, my question to you is,

if the idea of illness

can become illness,

what else about our reality

is actually a disorder?

MAN : Reminder:

a loss of meaning is not normal.

Reminder:

a loss of meaning is not normal.

You ready?

Do we have to?

We do.

WOMAN : New symptom alert.

Irritability.

This is called shaomai.

I-It's a traditional Chinese dumpling.

There is a Japanese version which is more shrimp-based,

but I prefer these, so...

Mm.

T-They're fishy.

It's 'cause it has crab meat.

See, all you do-- Kerry-- all you do:

dip it, and take a bite.

-That's it. -Mm.

Look, I just don't see the point.

-Kerry... -You know, I get all the nutrition I need

-when we're, when we're... -I know, I know.

-...together, so... -But we agreed,

after last year, not to take anything for granted.

We need you to be independent.

-And there's more to life than fighting, so... -Okay, okay.

Just one.

-Here. Here, just... : Well, I just can't do one.

Just-- no...

WOMAN : Reminder:

avoid lines with double meaning.

Reminder: avoid lines with double meaning.

-Well, I guess you like that. -Mmm.

-Yeah. -And that's called cream soda.

More.

-KERRY: This is so disgusting. -No, it's...

Uh, this is perfectly natural.

The food goes in and then it has to come out.

Of my butt.

Yeah.

D-Do you want me to come in and help you?

No, no, I'm, uh...

I got it.

Uh, don't forget to wipe,

-you know, the... -Yeah.

Okay.

MAN : Disinfection crews

will commence at 0630.

Disinfection crews will commence at 0630.

DAVID: Is it weird?

Being a cat?

SYD: There are certain...

...impulses...

...I have to resist.

What's he look like?

DAVID: The monk?

He's pale.

Very pale.

Honestly, it was dark in the club.

I never got that close.

SYD: When you saw me, in the future,

what was I like?

DAVID: Hmm, what do you mean?

SYD: Did I look the same?

-DAVID: Not... quite. -Hi. Nice kitty.

SYD: Am I prettier now, or then?

DAVID: I feel like this is a trick question.

SYD: Hold on.

Something's happening.

CLARK: Move.

Move!

MAN: I have no idea what's inside.

CARY: And you're sure it's on the inside of the glass.

VERMILLION 1: Yes.

MELANIE: Maybe the sickness is wearing off.

Shit.

VERMILLION: Count confirmed.

One civilian missing.

It's a sealed room. He couldn't just...

VERMILLION 2: Secure the building.

-Secure the building.

Secure the building.

Secure the building.

SYD: Why can't you just find him yourself,

-DAVID: I tried.

Either he's not here or...

Fukyama said these monks can control their thoughts.

SYD: Isn't it better if we can find him first,

see what we can learn and then tell Farouk?

DAVID: Yeah, probably. But he owes me some answers.

Hey. What happened to you back there?

I'm not sure, but I...

I saw a flash, of you...

in the future.

-You were writing me a message.

What did it say?

"H."

Stay here. Keep an eye on the search.

Be careful.

You too.

Uh, tank 2.

Does that work?

: Nothing works.

So why...?

Got to try something, right?

I'm-I'm Lenny.

She of the great escape.

Says every girl I ever banged.

Hey, speaking of...

You got any pills

Smoke?

: Glue?

Where is he?

Hey, how come we never talk?

Come on.

It's me.

Hey, y-you look good.

How's... how's the girlfriend?

Sydney, right?

Syd?

Or the... the old bat

and the... and the black guy.

How's... Is he...

He's looking pretty fit.

Farouk?

Dude...

you got to help me.

I'm dying out here.

I'm...

I'm like a pet.

Or a house plant.

I pulled out all my hair... before.

Yesterday.

But it all came back.

Maybe that was a dream, then.

Can you...

talk to him?

Yeah?

El Rey?

The King?

Just...

get me out of here.

Farouk?

: Please. Please.

Put me out of my misery.

Please.

FAROUK: You found him.

Our monk.

DAVID: In with the sick.

There was a handprint on the glass.

He's loose now, inside Division 3,

but I can't... His mind...

The Monks of the Mi-Go order.

Impenetrable.

Unless...

you know the secret.

When I find him...

and he tells you where your body is...

what are you gonna do with it?

Live in it, my dear.

South of France.

Women.

Money.

Power.

And that's it?

No supervillain "destroy the world" bullshit?

This word-- "villain"--

do you know where it comes from?

C'est francais.

It means, originally,

"one who lives in a village."

A peasant.

Do I seem like a peasant to you?

-You know what I mean. -No. This is important.

Language.

The meaning of things.

You called me a villain.

Me, the king.

For decades I rule over my country.

I'm a good king.

Strong, but just.

My people, they prosper.

And then your father...

a white man, which is--

you tell me, important?--

he comes.

Does he speak our language?

Does he know our customs?

And he decides what?

That my people should have better?

That he knows better?

Who is he to make such choices?

You fed off me when I was a baby.

And I'm supposed to feel, what, sorry for you?

Is it such a terrible thing

to feel sorrow for your enemy?

What is he, except a brother with another name?

We're not brothers.

You are still young.

You think justice is a glass jar.

You fill it with your hurt,

your hate.

Don't you think I have my own jar?

I'm a refugee.

Do you know the meaning of that word?

Refugee.

Driven from my home, in exile.

Prisoner in another man's body.

Nobody put you in my head.

Or Oliver's. You made a choice.

: Of course.

If the choice is between death or life...

I choose life.

Listen, I'll call you when I have the monk somewhere safe.

He takes us to your body, and then you are gone.

Gone.

No one ever hears your name again.

Interesting, don't you think?

You're doing this for a woman you love

who lives in a future you're going to destroy if you help me.

-The timeline.

She lives in a future

you are trying to change, and when you do,

she will cease to exist.

So, really, you are...

helping her to commit suicide.

Oh, and be careful with the monk.

He is very... ansteckend.

Contagious.

See, this, uh...

madness.

They think it's me, that I'm infecting people.

But it's him.

He's toxic.

He is like Typhoid Mary.

But where he goes,

I follow.

So your friends think

that I am the Mary.

Not so smart, your friends.

I got to...

Cary?

Hello?

Guys?

*

*

-Ow! Ow! -Oh! Oh, oh, I'm sorry.

-Geez, it's me. Aah. -Sorry. I-I'm sorry.

Shit! What is that?

-It's just... -It's so lemony.

-...some household cleaner.

Wh... Where is everybody?

I don't know.

There were... alarms.

I heard guns.

And Kerry went.

But I-I'm... not physically brave.

-So I... -Okay, hold on.

: Syd

Clark?

They're not answering. We're gonna have to find them.

-I saw him.

The monk.

He had...

the... children, the soldiers that were following him.

I thought they were immune.

To the disease. But he was humming a tune

that was very...

...catchy.

Keep your eyes out for a cow.

Cow?

: Syd?

: David.

DAVID: Shit.

He's in there, right?

His mind... somewhere?

Oh, yes. Brain readings remain normal.

His mind is active, we just don't know what it's doing.

They're in the maze.

Meaning?

I don't know. Let's find out.

Now, is this...

Well, we're inside his mind.

Oh. It's nice.

David.

Oh...

Ew.

-Hello. -Hey, man.

It's David and Cary.

Do you...

Hello.

It-It's David.

We're...

The monk infected you.

We're here to, I guess,

rescue you?

Hello.

DAVID: What's wrong with him?

I don't know.

Is this where everybody goes?

When they get infected?

Some kind of floral astral plane?

Do you sense anyone else here?

Nope.

Then...

it's his maze.

If I had to guess,

I'd say the contagion locks people

inside their own brains.

Inside their own realities.

Yeah, this is Ptonomy's maze.

Yeah, but... gardening?

It isn't gardening.

It's that he doesn't remember us. See?

He forgets what he's doing after every rose,

and then the shears and the basket-- they remind him.

So what are you saying?

It's a fantasy.

Or... maybe I should say a core desire.

Our friend here is a memory machine.

He remembers every moment of every day.

Now, if that was your condition,

what might you wish for?

To forget.

I mean, it's beautiful, really.

To live in the moment-- no past, no future.

DAVID: Yeah, but it's not real.

CARY: It's real to him. In this moment.

What are you saying, we should leave him here?

I'm not saying anything.

I'm merely making an observation.

What if it was Kerry?

You're right. Wake him up.

How?

I don't know. You're the psychic.

Hello.

What happened?

You don't remember?

No.

-The monk got loose. -Yeah.

Everyone's infected.

-No.

He has the kids-- the monk--

and they're armed, but they're... kids, so...

I

-Uh, pied piper, humming, it's a long story. -Yeah.

Cow.

-No. I need to find Syd.

-We should split up. -We stay together.

-PTONOMY: Definitely.

-I'm fine. Let's go.

Oh, no.

Uh, no, it's not safe here out in the open.

We should get her to your lab.

Yes.

How?

All right.

Here goes.

-PTONOMY: Yeah, hold on.

Is this...

Was mine like this?

No. You were in a garden.

In a sharp suit.

-Yeah. -Stay close.

-I don't know.

-Yes.

-It's... -We're... -DAVID: A game.

I don't have time for games. Melanie!

-Go through the door.

No. Look around first.

Look...

around.

-Climb... down.

-Climb back up. -Jump.

Ow.

DAVID: Is this Melanie?

Is she doing this?

CARY: I think so.

-Perhaps her core desire

is to be omnipotent.

To control the uncontrollable world

from a distance, so she's...

...everywhere.

*

: The Minotaur.

-Look... around.

Melanie?

It's David!

You have to talk to me.

The monk got free. Everybody's infected.

You're trapped inside your mind!

If you come down here,

we'll... we can go home.

Okay?

-I don't know.

-Let's, uh... -Yes.

-That was... -A Minotaur, yes.

But why was it in a doggie wheelchair? I don't know.

Guys, we can't just...

I don't have time for this.

Melanie, please!

They need our help!

*

*

That was-that was nice, but I think we need another...

Should I... hug you?

Please don't.

Let's just go.

Is that... a...

A cow. Yes.

-Okay, that really needs to stop now.

Nothing. It's... I think Syd's in trouble.

We need to split up now. Cary and I will look for Syd.

Melanie, you and Paul find Fukyama.

Oh, what if we see the monk?

Ask him what he wants. Just don't get too close.

You should be immune now, but...

-Yeah. I did a little thing before we left.

You did a thing in my head?

DAVID: Just don't get too close.

What about the cow?

Leave it here.

I don't think I want a cow in my lab.

Guys, I don't care. I got to find Syd.

Let's check the pedestal first.

Don't touch anything.

Cary?

*

David? Oh...

David.

*

CARY : David?

David?

Oh, no!

: Oh, fudge!

I'm sorry.

*

We want the weapon.

What weapon?

To kill the monster.

They did not tell us he was a monster and we took him in.

PTONOMY: There is no weapon.

VERMILLION 1: To Division 3 they told us.

If there is a problem, go there.

They will have the weapon.

Will have. Do not have.

A weapon was planned, but never built.

The body was buried.

Then a new crisis and another.

Over time we forgot.

Do not believe. Where is the weapon?

Where's the body?

VERMILLION 1: No. We do not say.

He is out there as well, looking for it,

the Shadow King.

He must not find it.

The end of everything.

David.

He's the weapon.

VERMILLION 1: The King is too powerful.

His body, it will not drown.

It does not burn.

David can do it.

Do what?

Destroy the Shadow King.

VERMILLION 1: No. We do not want his help.

He cannot be trusted.

He works with the...

MONK: Teleportation.

DAVID: Just-just quiet for a second. Let me think.

And stop making people sick.

MONK: People don't matter.

Only the body matters.

Well, they matter to me.

They're my people.

But you help him, the King.

-And he will kill all of them. -I am not...

I have seen your mind...

as you have mine.

Where's the body?

We're not afraid to die.

Nobody is gonna... Look...

I'm having a really hard time finding the landmarks here.

Minds separated from bodies

and Minotaurs in mazes.

You got a girlfriend?

-Yeah, I got one.

Well, I-I got two, actually.

Well, no, just one, but in two time periods,

which raises the question: is it just one?

Huh? I mean, people change, right?

We change, so maybe she's different now.

In the future.

I don't...

The point is, I love her-- them.

And more importantly, I trust her.

And she told me things happen.

Okay? In the future. Bad things.

So I have to, I have to help.

It's complicated.

Look, just tell me where it is.

The monastery.

It was a valley and now it's a desert.

That much I know.

Destroy it.

I will.

No, you won't.

I promise.

Just tell me where it is. I won't let anything bad happen.

It already has.

Syd!

-Oh, no, no, no, no, no, no, no.

Oh.

MAN: Now I get it.
