What the.

What the hell is this?

Shit.

Wait, stop, stop, stop, ah.

Wait. Hey. Hey, listen.

We're chained.

Stop.

Wait.

Stop.

You're gonna break my neck.

Hey.

Hey.

Wait, wait.

Wait, stop.

What the fuck.

Move.

Fuck off.

Get out.

This is my space.

This is my space.

You're a dead man.

Come here. Here.

No.

No.

No.

No.

No. No.

No.

It's no good.

You're not gonna break it.

What's going on here?

I don't know.

I woke up trapped like you.

Where are we?

No idea.

Do you have a phone?

No.

How'd we get here?

The last thing I remember, I was running with my dog.

Then I woke up here

chained to this thing.

What about you?

Playing with my cat.

You didn't see anyone bring me in?

No.

When I woke up, you were already over there, asleep.

I'm John.

Kyra.

Kyra.

Did he kill that girl over there?

Looks like it.

His clothes.

You think he escaped from an insane asylum?

He's crazy all right.

He acts like he doesn't even know he's chained to me.

What's that thing on his head?

Kill him.

Over here.

Hey.

He needs to kill him before sleeping beauty wakes up.

Who are you?

Nev.

Kill him.

I'd do it if I could.

How'd you get in here?

Last thing I remember I was delivering pizzas on my bike

and I pulled over to take a piss in some bushes

and then wham I woke up here.

Someone hit you?

No, I don't know.

I don't remember.

It doesn't matter, I'm trapped here now.

You need to kill the big guy before he kills us.

No, we just gotta get outta here.

That's why you need to kill him.

The chain, choke him with your chain.

Stick your fingers in his eyes.

Right in the socket.

Blind him.

Jump on his throat.

Just shut up, all right.

I'm trying to think.

He's gonna kill us all.

It's gonna be your fault.

Be careful, John.

I found a soldering iron.

Kill that bastard.

Oh no.

Pull him back, pull him back, pull him back.

I'm trying.

No, no, no. You don't want to do that.

Pull, pull, pull him back.

Shit.

No, no.

Don't hurt her.

Stop him.

No.

I can't stop him.

Damn it.

Let me go.

I'm trying to find the blue light.

Get off of me.

Ah, it's not working.

John, get the soldering iron,

down there on the floor.

Stab him.

Got it.

Stab him.

Do it John, or we're both dead.

John.

Hello.

Anyone here?

Hello.

Can anyone hear me?

Who's there?

Hello.

Don't touch her.

Don't touch my kitty.

You hurt my kitty.

I didn't.

I'm just trying to find my way out of here.

How'd you get in here?

I need to feed Lily.

No. Wait.

Where are you going?

Does this lead out?

No.

Do you know a way out of here?

There's no way out.

Can you at least tell me your name?

Amber.

Amber?

Bread, forks, spoons.

No knives though.

Not a single knife.

You want a sandwich, Lily?

PBJ.

"Remember you know John."

Did you put that there?

No.

Do you know a John?

No.

You?

I.

I don't know.

Did you hear that?

What is that?

Is that a dagger?

No.

It is just a.

What?

I don't know.

I've seen it somewhere before.

When?

I don't know.

I think some guy, he held it.

John.

I think it was John.

Why can't I remember?

How did you end up here?

I woke up here, I was just here.

What do you remember before that?

Think.

Last thing I remember

is standing in a beautiful field of flowers.

Flowers.

Flowers are for funerals.

Those could garnish many, many funerals.

♪ Two caskets two by two

♪ Equals none

Do you remember anything else before that?

I'm not sure.

I mean, it's all foggy.

But I can remember lots of things,

it's just all glitchy.

Yeah, same here.

It's like it's fragmented.

Like I know I had a dog.

Her name was Freedom.

She was born on the 4th of July.

I lied, there was one knife.

I'm not gonna let you stab Lily.

Stop.

Let me.

Drop it.

I'll break her neck.

Don't hurt Lily.

Why did you attack me?

You were gonna stab us.

I wasn't gonna stab anyone.

Give me Lily.

You give me the knife.

I'll put it away.

No.

Give me Lily.

Oh God.

Amber, hold on.

What's happening?

The blue light.

It's a shame,

it never fully succeeded with him.

We wouldn't be where we are now

without what we learned from him and the others.

All right, let's reset, start again.

She has introduced a new variable.

"Know John."

How could she remember John?

I don't know, but it will be enlightening

to see its effect.

No please.

I want to remember.

Get out.

Get out.

Both of you out.

Get the hell away from me.

Out.

Oh shit.

What the hell was that?

Them.

They're out there.

Whatever you do, stay in the light.

Do not leave the light.

Do you understand?

Come on out.

Show yourselves.

They're all around us.

We can fight 'em.

Yeah, we'll gang up.

We'll march out there.

You're an idiot.

I know, I have been here the longest.

I'm the real old timer.

I am the queen of the light pool.

Where are we? How did we get here?

No one knows.

No one knows how we got here.

No.

A light suddenly appears, and folks are there,

just like you two.

Just stay in the light and stay alive.

We're trapped prisoners.

Don't you understand?

Just stay in the middle.

Your arm.

What happened?

We're trapped prisoners.

I think I did it.

I'm John.

Just stay in the middle.

I think we've met before.

When?

- Don't push. - Before.

There has to be a before all this.

This must be to remember.

We have to remember.

Why, why don't we?

I don't know.

Stand in the middle of the light.

It must be part of what's happening here.

They're messing with us.

A sick game?

Maybe it's some kind of test.

Lab rats.

Do you remember doing something like this before?

I remember not remembering.

Like, like not remembering many times before, with you.

Yeah, with me.

I feel that.

But you don't remember how many times we've met.

Just like we don't remember how we got here.

Or how many times we've done this before.

"Black lite."

What does that mean?

I don't know.

Oh, they're moving again.

Come on.

Come on.

Come on.

Hey, watch it. I'll throw you out.

Get back.

I'll burn it down.

I'll burn it all down.

You're not my family, you can't just take me in.

You don't know me.

You can't feel my pain.

You are fucking crazy.

Please stop, please stop, please stop.

Look, look, the light, it's changing, it's getting smaller.

Get in tight to the center,

as close to each other as you can.

Hold on to each other.

That's it.

Keep to the middle.

Come on.

Come on.

Come on. Come on.

No, no.

Come on, come on.

- Come on, come on. - Come to us. Come on.

You can make it.

Come on, come on.

You can make it.

Let, let, let me in.

- You're pulling me out. - Let me in.

Let me in, into the light.

What did you do?

Why?

For Lily.

Lily.

Hello forever.

That's it.

Take this piece of shit.

No, no.

Take him.

Stop, stop it.

Leave him alone.

This is my light.

Mine.

No. No.

Help me.

Those things, ah.

Ugh.

There's something about them, right?

The chains, the things on their heads, the lights.

I swear I've seen them somewhere before,

but I don't know.

Why can't you remember?

Why can't I remember anything?

But we remember our pasts before we got trapped here.

Do we?

All my memories are hazy.

I vaguely recall what I was doing before.

What do you really remember?

Huh?

Yeah, up here, it's like flashes of things,

but what's in the gaps?

Yeah.

Yeah, you're right.

I can only remember what pops into my head,

but nothing I actually try to remember.

It's like huge chunks of my past are just missing.

What's happening to you, to me?

They're suppressing our memories.

Slowly scrubbing them.

John, if we don't get out of here,

we might not remember who we even are.

That's it, you were right.

We're lab rats.

My light's not shrinking anymore.

It's still the same.

He wore chains.

The big guy with chains.

He's the one who hit me.

You were there, you as well.

You guys don't remember.

Think.

I don't remember you.

The soldering iron, I threw it to you.

Soldering iron.

Yeah.

You went completely crazy.

You stabbed a guy to death.

You ripped him apart like a pinata.

You don't remember me?

I'm Nev.

Our circle's getting smaller.

Get in the middle.

Whatever you do, don't let the darkness touch you.

It's no good.

- Turn around. - Think of something.

You're both aren't gonna fit in there.

One of you has gotta take the whole light

or you're both dead.

One of you is gonna have to shove the other one out.

You don't have a choice.

Do it or you're gonna die.

You'd both rather die?

Just push her out.

Whatever happens,

we stick together.

Whatever happens.

They took 'em away.

They?

They, them, whoever's doing this.

But why?

Maybe it's over.

We passed the test.

Test?

Oh, it's a test.

What?

The light.

Block, block light.

- What? - Don't look at the light.

Okay. Just trust me.

Please John, whatever you do, don't open your eyes.

Don't look. Please, John.

Whatever you do, don't look at the light

What's happening?

I don't know.

Just keep your eyes shut.

You heard?

She started to remember.

Only fragments, nothing of consequence.

I detected no sign that she remembered her foster parents

being burned alive.

She's too erratic.

She's gonna need your color blinders if she keeps this up.

No, no, she's still far more stable than the prototypes.

She's no John or Kyra,

but she's far more valuable, untethered.

For now.

John.

Yeah, I'm here.

You may open your eyes now.

The trial is finished.

You cannot close your eyes to the world forever.

What are we doing here?

Why did you do this to us?

I must congratulate you both on your behavior.

It pleases me to see two volunteers succeed.

Volunteers?

We didn't volunteer for this.

Oh, but you did.

Daniel Hawkins, do you freely volunteer

to be a research subject during the course of the study?

Yeah.

Daniel?

Sarah Lott, do you freely volunteer

to be a research subject during this study?

Yes.

Please sign this form?

Those aren't our names.

You tricked us.

The form states

that you consent of your own free will.

And upon successful completion of the study,

your death sentence will be commuted to life in prison.

Life in prison?

Why would we have a death sentence?

Daniel Hawkins fractured a girl's skull with a hammer

and then disposed of her body in the river.

Sarah Lott, nurse, murdered six infants at the hospital

where she administered care.

You are Daniel Hawkins and Sarah Lott.

That is who you are.

You're wrong.

You're confused.

I'm not Sarah, I'm Kyra.

- I'm a. - A grocery worker

who formerly had a sweet little dog named Freedom.

I'm not Sarah.

I'm not Daniel.

You prove that both the memory suppression

and the new memory implants are 100% effective.

Both of you freely volunteered to be test subjects in this.

The first origin study to determine if nature or nurture

has been the cause of your violent, antisocial behavior.

At the beginning of this experiment,

all memory of your former lives and crimes were suppressed.

They were overlaid with memories that I created

and which were completely absent of trauma.

Different memories, different nurture,

but same physical bodies, same nature.

And yet you both were not inherently violent here.

No signs of being born killers.

You've given us extremely valuable data to work with.

What are you talking about?

All will become clear when the true memories resurface.

Close your eyes.

Don't hurt yourself.

This is what you want.

I'm bringing Sarah and Daniel back.

You'll soon become the people you once were.

I'm not Sarah, I'm Kyra.

Stay where you are.

There is no place else to go.

Kyra and John do not exist.

I know who I am.

Those are not your memories.

Those are constructs.

You're crazy.

Soon you'll have no memory of this or of each other.

You can't do that to us.

There is nothing to gain by doing this.

It is time to reveal your old selves once more.

John, keep your eyes shut.

Follow me.

There is nowhere for you to go.

Hold on.

Fuck this.

Come on.

The wall.

We got to follow the wall.

Okay.

It got to lead to a door somewhere.

I think I remember this.

Who knows how long we've been here?

We just have to get out.

Keep your eyes down and watch out for the lights.

Right.

John, eyes down, come on.

This way.

Come on, come on.

Faster.

Ah you bastard.

Ah.

No.

No.

What the?

Hands behind your back.

Don't even think about it.

It's safe.

I turned it off.

I got his key card. Let's find the exit.

Which way do we go?

Doesn't matter.

We just need to keep going.

Ah.

John.

Oh, oh, come on, come on.

Come on.

Come on.

Go on, leave me.

No, keep moving.

You gotta go on for the both of us.

Please, one of us gotta get outta this.

One of us have to survive.

Please.

Okay, come on, we gotta go get up.

Okay.

We need to get out of the open.

Just a little farther.

Here we go.

And down.

Here we go.

It's gonna be okay sweetie.

Okay, hold still on the count of three.

One.

I thought you were dead, from before.

Before when?

You don't remember?

They came at you.

How did you get out here?

How'd you escape?

I was just here walking with Lily.

We need to keep moving.

Come on, there you go.

Give me your arm.

Okay.

Okay.

There you go.

Help.

Help.

Somebody help.

It's a test.

He's still testing me.

Test?

To see if I'd help you, him,

or leave you both out here to die.

That's why it was so damn easy for me to escape.

Help.

We're still just lab rats.

Anybody.

Help.

Help.

Who's, who's there?

Help me.

Help.

Help.

Oh, who's there?

Who is it?

Thank God.

Get me free.

Do you remember me?

Oh, I remember you.

And I remember the crazy lady too.

Get this thing off me.

What are you looking for?

Arrows.

What?

Just stay in front of me and hold still.

What arrows?

Ask her.

A mine.

A good place to hide deep inside.

We need to get outta here before they come.

Do you know which way to go?

Away.

Wait, help me.

The threat of their memories being erased

was all the motivation they needed.

They fought to free themselves.

And as you can see, they were determined to stay together.

John was attacked and then had a golden opportunity

to kill the officer, but he didn't,

he let him live despite the provocation.

Therefore, John has fully passed the test

and I have removed him from the program.

Kyra would've shocked that guard

if we hadn't disabled the stun gun.

She would've shocked him to death for all we know.

True.

But Kyra still has a chance to redeem herself.

In fact, I'm pleased to report that after,

what she considered to be risking her life to save Amber,

she once again halted her escape to assist Nev.

I'm still not comfortable with them being outside.

With careful monitoring there is no risk.

How do you expect to keep her in check out there,

with your audio and light show?

Sensory programming.

And we don't need to rely on that.

Worst case, there's always the fail safe.

But that won't be necessary.

I say we stop while we're ahead.

Pull her out, just like John.

I'm the one who decides when this is over.

If you want me to sign off on that report.

All right.

What'd the doctor guy say?

Doesn't matter.

All he did was lie.

Come on.

You actually saw him.

The boss guy, the fucking puppet master.

What'd he say?

He said, John and I aren't who we think we are.

Who'd he say you were?

He called us Daniel and Sarah.

He said we're killers.

Killers, you two?

Yeah, that's a good one.

He's just messing with you.

What the fuck?

Ah.

How'd you get this?

They planted that on me.

It's obviously a test, guys.

To see what you guys would do to me.

Hey, back the fuck up, both of you.

You've been in on this the whole time.

What did they do to John?

Nothing.

You two are all they care about.

Why?

Because you're a success.

Not like you.

Your memories didn't fully take to your brain.

You're almost as crazy as the first prototypes.

You're lying.

You've been lying this whole time.

You're one of them.

No, I'm a volunteer plucked from death row, just like you.

I'm not a murderer.

Yes you are.

You just don't know it.

Because you're the subject of neural programming.

Fucking brainwashed.

They put so many fake fucking memories in your head.

There are no fake memories.

You're so fucking stupid.

I know I killed people.

I still have my memories.

He permitted it.

I'm the control.

You don't get it.

Hello.

I egged you guys on.

I tried to get you guys to kill each other, kill others.

And you didn't.

No matter what I did.

No matter how much stress they put on you,

not even those fucking chained protos,

you and John never fucking cracked.

You never went back to your old killer ways.

Do you even know who Daniel and Sarah are?

There is no Daniel or Sarah.

We're not them.

No wonder they think you two are the poster children

that are gonna make all their sick fucking dreams come true.

Hey.

No.

It's wood.

Yeah, it's wood.

Carved it myself.

You think they'd give me a real gun?

What did you do to her?

I didn't do anything.

They did it.

They triggered it.

Triggered what?

Shit, fuck this shit, I'm outta here.

Oh no, come on, come on.

Stay with me.

Come back.

Come on, you have to come back.

I'm so sorry.

Where are we going?

We have to get behind rock, block the signal.

No, please.

Please don't hurt yourself.

Those restraints were not designed to break free this time.

Let me go.

I will, John.

You have performed admirably.

It's time for you to leave.

No, no.

Relax, John.

This iteration of you has served its purpose.

And now Daniel must resurface,

which means you must be erased.

Don't worry, it won't hurt.

For the record,

what is your full name?

Daniel Hawkins.

And what is the last thing you remember?

Laying here.

How long I been here?

Did I fall asleep?

Yes.

You have been asleep.

In there.

Hurry.

I think we lost 'em.

This should work.

Yeah.

Yeah.

Gimme that arrow.

We need to cut it out now.

Or we'll never escape.

Cut what out?

The thing they stuck in the back of our neck.

They trigger it whenever things get too out of hand,

like they did with Amber.

How do you know?

I get to remember, remember?

I've seen it happen over and over and over again.

I've seen them take down a big guy

in seconds, just like that.

And every time they grabbed the back of their neck,

same spot.

So I checked it.

You can feel a small bump underneath the skin.

Try it.

See.

Now gimme the arrow.

Come on.

They've never let me out.

There is no way

that they can trigger it through these rocks.

This might be the only chance we have to escape.

Let me cut yours out.

No.

I'm not letting you practice on me.

Fine, do me first.

Take your shirt off?

I need to make bandages.

Take a knee.

It's right there, feel it?

Mm.

Hold still.

Fuck.

Did you get it?

Yeah.

It's got liquid inside.

It's gotta be poison.

Yeah.

I bet they track us with it too.

Nice.

You're a good nurse.

Trust me.

Just get the thing out of my neck.

I'm in the east tunnel.

The test subjects, they appear dead.

I don't know what happened.

Do you copy?

Hey that was quick thinking, that playing dead.

What if it's all true?

All of it, everything.

Holy shit.

They broke you, didn't they?

I killed him.

Self defense, I'd acquit.

Here.

I.

I had a memory, giving Amber CPR.

A baby in a hospital.

I was trying to bring her back.

Not me, but her.

Sarah.

But it doesn't feel real.

These flashes, it's like they're fake.

Like false memories.

False memories?

You are the false memory.

- What the? - Oh shit.

Fuck.

Woah. In there.

As you read in the report,

the experiment demonstrates how well

the implanted memories hold under stress.

In early cycles we wiped

all newly formed memories between tests

so that we could see what memories would seep back through

and what would trigger them.

They did remember some things.

But only trivial things from previous tests.

As you saw when he showed them volunteering for the study,

they still didn't remember who they really were.

Yes, it's encouraging.

But additional funding is not in this year's budget.

There's a deficit.

It costs $90,000 a year to incarcerate a person

on death row.

And there's currently 2,978 inmates on death row.

If you do the math, that's $268 million

a year.

But what if instead of that cost,

an inmate's identity could be replaced

with a memory implant?

They're released, they're given a minimum wage job.

They're now costing the state nothing.

Instead they're paying taxes,

contributing to society.

It's like a prison chain gang,

without the prison and without the chain.

With a successful roll out,

eventually there will be no death row,

no prison industrial complex.

And that would please everyone in society,

bleeding hards and hardliners.

It's.

It's a perfect coalition.

It's still going to be a tough sell.

They were sentenced to die.

That's what the victim's families want.

True.

But if a murderer no longer remembers who they are,

isn't that person in fact dead?

I'll leave you two to discuss the details.

What happened?

We found the officer dead in a tunnel,

Zone Five.

Nev did this?

That's the last video on his body cam.

I'm in the East Tunnel, the test subjects,

they appear dead.

I don't know what happened.

Do you copy?

Kyra.

They removed their kill-switch tracker.

Nev is helping her. He's on the run.

A drone showed them entering the mine.

What are your orders?

Sir?

Unleash the prototypes into the mine.

The protos?

But sir, the rock will block all signals.

We won't be able to control them in there.

No need. Default set the blinders to red,

no restraints.

They'll flush them out

or eliminate the problem.

Yes sir.

And tell no one about this, no one.

Yes sir.

Hold it.

What the hell?

I think I might have been here before.

That means we're right back to where we escaped from.

Maybe not.

This is an old mine.

They could be using it tying into it, but

this mine was here way before they were.

You could have easily gone through another tunnel

and not even known it.

We need to find another way out.

Another way that they're not gonna think of.

Gimme the light.

Why?

What is it?

This way.

Now how do you know it's this way, not this way?

'Cause the candy told you to?

Yes, I'm following the candy.

I remember this.

I'll take that.

Hey, what do you remember?

How the hell did this get here?

I think I did it sometime in a past test.

What the hell is that?

Let's go.

Run.

No, this way.

Kill your light.

Back up.

This way.

Come on.

Wait.

What?

Shh.

Listen.

- Nothing. - No.

Do you have any memory of this place from a past test?

No.

You sure?

Good.

Then we might be going the right way.

Watch your step.

What?

That fish, it must have gotten in here somehow.

That way.

We're on the other side of the mountain.

They'll never look for us here.

Shit, there's another drone.

They're searching this area.

They'll find us.

I'm sorry.

I need you to buy me some time.

Why?

You killed people,

you deserve it.

You killed babies.

Not me.

Sarah.

You'll never make it outta here alive.

You'll die out here, you hear me?

You hear?

We've located the Control, Zone 12.

He appears injured.

Request immediate medevac and containment, over.

Copy.

Team Victor, en route, will extract, over.

No sign yet of the test subject.

Redirect all searching to zones 12 through 15, over.

Copy.

Redirecting all drone flight paths.

I sign, it's over.

Yes, you passed the test.

I don't remember anything.

Short term memory loss is one of the side effects

of the experiment.

Please just sign, Daniel.

Thank you.

When are they moving me outta here?

I'm afraid there was a bit of miscommunication.

No.

I signed up.

I did it, I'm supposed to receive a life sentence.

We had a deal.

Guard.

I'm innocent.

That woman was dead when I found her.

I went into the water to save her.

I didn't do it.

Guard.

You got the wrong man.

For the sake of the positive data, I hope not.

Come back.

You can't leave me here.

Test subject located in Zone 13.

Request viper strike, over.

Copy.

Nearest viper en route to coordinates.

She's heading north on DR2.

Viper has sighted the target.

Target in range.

Initiating Code Blue.

Why would you do that?

Bludgeon that guard to death

and stabbing Nev.

You can speak freely.

We're all alone here.

Your violent behavior is quite disturbing.

You should not be capable.

You should have been more like John.

Where is John?

I wanna see him.

You want John?

Well, I can take anyone at any time, put them in the machine

and create as many Johns as you want, as I want.

In fact, that's what I plan on doing.

The John implant has had a tremendous amount of success

and the positive results need to be replicated.

You want to see John,

tell me why you attacked them.

It's your last chance.

The guard?

He was going to capture me.

And Nev?

There was a drone coming, I needed a distraction,

to get away, to survive.

Interesting.

What happened to all those implanted,

passive personality traits, all those happy memories?

Happy memories?

You put us through hell again and again

through this torture.

How many times have you done this to us?

Yes, all the tests, all the residual subconscious trauma,

all unfortunate side effects of suppressing,

but still preserving who you really are, Sarah,

makes it impossible to completely

wipe the slate clean every time.

But John was in the same implant group,

had the same latent memories of the test

and his results were successful.

Unless,

this means he actually was innocent.

And if that's the case, then his success is

meaningless.

No.

I have to thank you.

I now know what I need to do.

Stay the fuck away from me.

I will no longer

suppress the test subject's true identity.

I will insist that they are eradicated completely.

It won't matter who they were before, guilty, innocent,

it will make no difference.

They'll be gone.

There will be no more bleed through,

no more corrupted test results.

Whoa.

Okay.

I'm sorry, but,

there's no more hope for you.

You're just another corrupted reject.

And your implant is retired.

No.

No.

I don't wanna be Sarah.

Don't worry, I promise

you'll never have to be Sarah again.

And you'll be with John.

John.

Hey, what's going on?

How'd we get here?

Can you hear me?

I'm John.

John.

You gotta kill it.

What?

Choke it, use the chain.

No, I don't want to hurt her.

Her? It.

You gotta hurt it, if you wanna live.

Stick your fingers in its eyes.

Right into the sockets, blind it.

No, I can't.

Do you want to live?

Kill the pro to.
