.

a virtual reality program

where the impossible
becomes possible.

Anything you desire,
you can find here.

But sometimes,
people get lost,

caught between fantasy
and reality.

That's where she comes in.

Her name is Mara Kint.

find the lost ones

and bring them home.

And maybe, by saving them,

she just might find a way

to save herself.

Previously on "Reverie"...

-Have you noticed
anything unusual

since the BCI was implanted?

Hallucinations?

We call it derealization.

-Aunt Mara,
you're here for a reason.

This isn't real.

This is not real.
Oh...

No...

I never left.
I never left.

Are you okay?

Anything broken?

Mara?

Are you all right?
-Yes.

How'd you--
how'd you know my name?

-That is, like,
the 15th question

you should be asking me.

My name is Hill,

and I know why you're standing
in the middle of the street.

We should talk,

but first, I've gotta
get something to eat.

I'm--well, I'm starving, so...

Here you go, guys.

You said your name is Hill?

Oliver Hill.

I started Onira-Tech.

-No, Alexis Barrett
started Onira-Tech.

-That's what
she wants you to think.

We did it together.

Did she tell you
the BCI was her idea?

-She didn't say it wasn't.
-Mm.

It's a brain-computer
interface.

That's two things, right?

Alexis was the computer.

And you were the brain?

I flatter myself.

Oliver, are you on

psychiatric medication?

Why would you say that?

-Because I've dealt
with people who are.

I know the signs.

You're sharp.

No.
I don't take meds, anymore.

They didn't help,
despite what Paul told you.

-How do you know
what Paul told me?

-Well, full disclosure,
I've been keeping tabs on you

since I heard they were putting
someone new in Reverie 2.0.

Why?

-Because before
you came along,

I was the person who spent
the most time in 2.0.

That's why I know
you're in danger.

What kind of danger?

losing your mind.

I know what you're seeing.

I know what's happening to you,

because it's been
happening to me.

Derealization?

-Yeah, I wish I could say
it gets better.

I really do.

Oliver, I--

I just hallucinated a house.

I don't think
it can get much worse.

How certain are you

that you're sitting in
this diner right now?

That that cup of coffee
is real?

That I'm real?

Now, imagine what happened
tonight happens again tomorrow,

and for the next
100 days after that,

and there...is no cure.

I burn myself sometimes,

when I'm not sure
if I'm really here.

Now, the endgame of 2.0
is to roll it out, right?

They're projecting 100 million
users in the first five years.

Think about that.

Think about all those people
all over the world

condemned to a sort of
waking dream.

-Why--why--why--
why are you telling me this?

-'Cause you're the only person
who can help me stop it.

I need an ally
inside of Onira-Tech.

They won't let me
near the place. Someone--

-Okay, listen.
Listen, listen.

I--I'm very grateful

for what you did tonight,
I really am.

It's late.
I have to go.

Mara--

Mara, wait.

Mara, wait!

-Look, I was a founding
partner of Onira-Tech.

Have you ever heard them
mention my name?

Ever heard them say
anything about me?

Why do you think that is?

They wanna pretend
I don't exist,

'cause they don't wanna hear
what I have to say about 2.0.

I know Charlie Ventana.

He would never put
anybody in danger,

not if he could help it--
-Except that he did!

Look, I know
this is a lot to absorb,

so just...

think about it.
Okay?

And whatever you do, don't tell
them that you talked to me,

or about what happened tonight.

They'll just say I'm lying,

or that I'm insane.

But you know the truth.

We are not crazy.

.

Everyone, please turn in

your ID before reporting
to your supervisors.

You can get new IDs from the
security office later today.

Not you, Mara.
Charlie's waiting for ya.

Am I in trouble?

Today, we're all in trouble.

Mara...

-What's going on?
-There's been a breach.

We've been robbed.

The BCI team was cataloguing
inventory last night

and discovered one missing.

Looks like it was stolen
four to six weeks ago.

the full set.

One of our people
must have taken it.

Did you get any sleep
last night?

-Tons.
-Hm.

-We make it easy as possible
to get a BCI, right?

-"Build the market."
That's our mantra.

-Okay, so then,
if it's so easy to get,

why would somebody steal one?

Glenn? It's Quincy.

Hey, little guy.

-The mailman left this
by the fountain.

I knew it'd be hard
for you to get, so...

-Mm, thanks.
You didn't have to do that.

-Anything good?
-I don't know.

You--you wanna open it?

-Really?
-Yeah.

Roberto Clemente?

1966?

Is that good?

-If it's real.
Is it real?

-Quincy, I can hear you
from across the courtyard.

Hi, Glenn.

Roberto Clemente, 1966.

-Come on, bud.
Doctor's waiting.

Only one shot today.

I promise.

Keep it.

-Glenn...
-Really?

-Yeah, no, no, no,
you can--you can, uh,

read the stats on the back
when you're getting your shot.

It'll distract you.

Thanks.

Thank you.

And I-I know it's hard,

but...if you ever
wanna come over...

we'd love that.

I'm working on it.

Come on, bud.

Apertus.

"Onira-Tech co-founders

Oliver Hill
and Alexis Barrett."

Hey, Dylan?

Is there any information
on Oliver Hill?

Is there, like,
a company bio or something?

-Oliver Hill is
a neuroscientist

and was a founding partner
of Onira-Tech.

He left the company
19 months ago.

What else?

-That's all the information
I'm authorized to disclose.

Well, that's not suspicious
at all, thanks.

Hey.

We got a lead.

-There's somebody in Reverie
using an unregistered BCI.

There's only one of those,
so it's gotta be our thief.

-I need you to go in
after him right now,

get an ID, find out who he is,
what he's doing.

-Wh--
-There something wrong?

'Cause this has to happen
right now.

No--I'm--yeah, I'm on it.

Apertus.

One, two, three,

four doors, four Reveries.

Well, you've been busy.

Ten, nine,

eight, seven,

six, five,

four, three, two--

Hello?

Never gets old.

-Oh, okay.
All right, great.

I'll take you over there

and show you exactly
where everything goes.

Let me just grab my clipboard.

Hey...

-No, no, no, no,
no, no, no, no-no.

Parking lot avatars
are supposed to stay

in the parking lot.

What are you doing here?

-I was just about to ask you
the same thing.

Hey, you.

Ah, damn it!

I almost had it.

Now I have to start
all over again.

-I have two unauthorized
personnel in the warehouse.

Requesting assistance.
-10-4.

Stay in your spot next time.

-If you promise to return
the thousands of dollars

of stolen technology
back to Onira-Tech,

you have a deal.

Exitus.

Wait!

-Did you find him?
-Yep.

So, what's he doing?

I don't think the BCI

is the only thing
he plans on stealing.

.

-I found him in the loading
dock of a company called MRL.

-Dylan, what company
has those initials?

34 U.S. corporations.

-Oh, and there were
these biohazard symbols

on some of the boxes.

How many of those were medical?

Medivax Research Laboratories
in Huntington Beach.

They develop treatments

for respiratory
and circulatory diseases.

-Why would someone
wanna rob them?

a BCI tech.

Says he stole the BCI

for a buyer he met
on a Dark Reverie site.

Oh.

Dark Re--Reverie

-Look, there are limits to
what you can do in Reverie.

Certain actions that
the avatars won't perform.

We program them not to.

Not everyone likes that.

no moral boundaries.

Some people think it's
the best place in the world

to let off unhealthy energy.

And some people disagree.

-We call what they want
the Dark Reverie.

Great.

-Our tech met the buyer
in one of the online groups.

The buyer gave him
$50,000 in Bitcoin

for the BCI and the injection.

-Did he get a name?
-No.

You need to go
back into Reverie

and find out everything
you can about him.

Charlie...

Yeah?

-Why aren't you giving this
to the police?

-Because the police means
press and publicity,

and those are things
I don't need right now.

-Is there some kind of secret
you're trying to protect?

What do you mean?

-I keep learning about things
that nobody even told me.

I didn't know about
derealization,

until it happened to me.

I didn't know about
this Dark Reverie.

Nobody even bothered to tell me

that Dylan was
Alexis's brother.

-Whoa, whoa, whoa,
where is this coming from?

Who's Oliver Hill?

How do you know that name?

-I had another episode
last night.

I thought I was going to
Jamie and Brynn's house.

-Why the hell
would you go there?

-I didn't.
It was a derealization.

And then there I was,
in the middle of the street,

and there was a car,
and then...

Oliver Hill saved my life.

He was following you?

You know what, Charlie,

that wasn't the first thing
that I was worried about.

-You haven't been
taking medication.

So, you were encouraging
the derealization?

It was only for a week.

-That's why you had
the episode last night.

Get back on the program.
It won't happen again.

-Oliver says the more
I get into Reverie,

the worse it'll get.

-He doesn't know
what he's talking about.

-Well, that's funny,
because he said

the same thing happened to him,

and when he tried
to warn you about it,

you shut him out
of the company,

the company that
he helped you build.

Was he lying about that?

-It's true, they were partners
in the beginning.

-Charlie--
-Mm.

Oliver's a brilliant guy,
but he has problems,

problems that started
before he got here.

He's unstable.

-He said you would
try to discredit him.

Come on, Mara.

You talked to the man.

Does he look like somebody
who's firing on all cylinders?

We had to fire him,
get a restraining order,

which is why he contacted you.

He can't talk to anyone of us

without getting arrested.

-He said you were gonna
release 2.0 to the public.

That's years away.

We wouldn't release anything

without the proper testing
and safeguards.

He's trying to
manipulate you, Mara.

Okay.

So...

I'm fine.
He's dangerous.

That's it?

Yes.

-You sure Oliver's the one
trying to manipulate me?

She doesn't believe it.

-She doesn't believe it
because it's not the truth.

Tell her the truth,
and she'll believe it.

How long have we known
each other?

Almost ten years.

-We've been through
some scrapes together.

Yes, we have.

Have I had your back?

Always.

So do you really believe

that I would bring you here,
invite you in,

if I thought you could be hurt?

Charlie...

Things are going on
that I just don't understand.

I mean, what happened
last night was big.

Brynn appeared,

and said that I was there
for a reason.

If you were...

we'll figure it out.

I still have your back.

By the way...

I think I found our thief.

There was a fountain
in the Reverie,

and since MRL is real,

I figured that the fountain
must be real too.

-And since he got
the BCI downtown...

-I had Dylan show me
images of downtown fountains,

until we found...

this.

Not bad, huh?
-Not bad at all.

Okay, so, let's see...

This is the angle
that I saw in the Reverie,

which means he must live...

There.

Excuse me.

Are you going to see Glenn?

Can I give you some advice?
-Sure.

I'm--I'm Mara, by the way.

And this is Charlie.

-Liz and Quincy.
Say hey, buddy.

Sorry.
Not so talkative today.

Doctor's appointment.

But, uh...

you need to do something
about the handkerchief.

And why is that?

Glenn has some compulsions,

things he can't tolerate.

Sunlight.

He never leaves his apartment
during the day.

Noise.
Anything blue.

So, if you wanna talk to him,

you'll wanna get rid of that.

Hope that helps.

-Yes, it does.
Thank you.

Come on, sweetheart.

Bye, buddy.

-Go away
or I'll call the police.

-Oh, that's funny,
'cause I was thinking

I should call Medivax
Research Laboratories

and tell them you're about
to breach their security.

-Or we can both call
and see what happens.

-We might not
if we can work this out.

-I'll talk to you, not him.
-No problem.

I'll be fine.
-Wait--wait--

I'm a coder.

Freelance.

Uh, please, please,
please, please!

Don't touch that.

Oh--

Okay.

"Glenn Maybach."
Okay.

Hi, Glenn.

I'm Mara.

-You think
I'm some kind of freak?

No, I-I don't.

I think that you have...
a system, you know,

just a way to keep things

in order.

When I was little,

we had this, um--
this staircase,

and there was no molding
on it or anything.

It was very contemporary.

But there were all these cracks
where the wall met the steps...

And I had to count the cracks.

And every time
I went up the stairs,

it just took me
longer and longer

to get to the second floor.

-What'd you do?
-I spackled the wall.

For me, the, um...

the cracks are everywhere,

but, you know, between
Amazon and Postmates,

there's really never
been a better time

to be a shut-in with OCD, so...

You know, Glenn...

I understand how valuable
Reverie is to you.

I really do.

I mean, so many people use it
just for that reason, you know,

to--to do things

that you could never
normally do in real life.

But...why are you using it

to rob a drug company?

Hey, is everything okay?

-Uh, yeah--yeah, Charlie
We're good.

Did they develop
a new medicine for OCD?

I mean, why not just buy it?

-Uh, no, no, no, no, no.
He can't do that.

-Uh--uh, I--I got this.
Charlie, I got this.

-No, don't touch it!
I can't clean those prints!

-I'm gonna take care of it!
-I can't--I can't--

No, that's not fixing it!
-Here, Glenn.

Here--here, look.
He's gone.

He's gone.
He's gone, Glenn, he's gone.

Apertus.

Glenn!

.

Problem solved.

He'll come out eventually.

Then we can disable the BCI

and turn him over
to the police.

Seriously?

He--he can't go to prison,
not with his OCD.

He'll never survive.

You reap what you sow.

-The guy who stole the BCI
is in the hospital ward.

Well, that's great.

Isn't it?

-Yeah, except he's gonna
either die in prison,

because of his disorder, or
he's gonna die in the Reverie,

because he knows better
than to come out.

So, get him out.

That's what you do.

But you're reluctant...

because of Oliver Hill?

Charlie told me what happened.

Okay.

Seriously, Paul,
is Oliver right?

Am I--am I gonna go crazy?

Uh...

You shouldn't be seeing this...

privacy of health records
and all.

This is baseline neuro data

on Alexis, myself, and you.

All normal.

This is us in 2.0.

Expected variation.

Still normal.

This is abnormal.

his baseline before
he even went into Reverie.

And this...

this is him in 2.0.

Oliver was unstable
long before he got a BCI.

And he's wrong.

He hasn't spent more time in
the program than anyone else.

Since he left,

Alexis and I have spent
much more time in there,

and we're not insane.

Are we?

Don't get me wrong/

2.0 can be, uh,
a profound experience.

If you have issues,
it can find them.

It did for me.

But if finds them.

It doesn't create them.

-I wanna believe you.
I...

You know what?

I'm just--

I'm just gonna keep
doing my work.

Right?

Because it's good to focus on
other people's problems.

It just helps you forget
about all your own crap

and the...

-What?
-That's it.

That's what Glenn is doing.

You're welcome.

Hello, Glenn.

You're not robbing MRL
for yourself.

You want something for Quincy.

What's wrong with him?

-Idiopathic
pulmonary fibrosis.

Doctor speak for
"your lungs suck."

We don't know why.

And MRL has a treatment?

Yes, it's in clinical trials.

They give it out in a lottery.

Quincy didn't get picked.

So because they didn't
draw his name out of a hat,

or whatever, they're gonna
let the nine-year-old die.

-So you're gonna
steal him a miracle?

I want to...

But I can't make it
past the parking lot.

I've spent six weeks
hacking into cameras,

replicating their layout.

I have their entire
security system logistics.

I can do all of that,
but I can't go outside.

-Then Glenn,
it's time to leave.

All I have is a window.

My world is six feet across,

six feet high.

She moved in
after her husband left.

I watched them every day.

I watched him
learn how to walk,

go to his first baseball game,

his first day of school.

And I watched them, uh,

come home from the doctor.

I've watched him get sicker.

And I've watched her fight.

She will never stop
fighting for her son.

I've watched their lives,

and they've become
a part of my life.

They're the best part
of my life.

So I will not...

I will not...

just watch him die.

Maybe you don't have to.

Glenn Maybach's agreed
to leave the Reverie.

He'll let us take out the BCI

and cooperate with us
in any way that we ask.

There's just, uh,
one condition.

What's that?

-We have to help him
rob somebody.

.

Come.

-I hear you found
the BCI thief.

And the person who bought it.

So, why are we talking?

Not that I don't enjoy
your company, Charlie,

but...we're both busy people.

-Turns out the buyer knows
a lot about Dark Reverie.

There's multiple sites on 4chan

that we can shut down
with his help.

-Well, you wanna make a deal
with him, be my guest.

-It's a little more
complicated than that.

Mara wants us to do
something for him,

and we'll need your help.

Do something for someone
making illicit Reveries?

-She makes
a pretty compelling case.

You pick
me up at 5:30 in the morning.

30?

-It's still dark.
I can make it to the car.

Once the sun's up, forget it.
-Okay.

-You drive to the garage
above the MRL building,

and then wait for me outside.

I take the stairs down
to the East Corridor.

That's this one.

I disabled the cameras in here,

so I don't have to
worry about being seen.

That door leads
to the warehouse.

It's locked,
but whenever someone opens it,

it stays unlocked
for ten seconds.

Ten, nine, eight...

-Ten seconds to get
from here to there.

-Okay, what's so hard
about that?

Blue.

Three, two, one.

Okay.

Watch this.

The corridor brings me here.

The drugs are kept in

that temperature-
controlled room there,

accessed by key card only.

-Which the guard has...
-On her jacket.

There's no AC,
so she takes it off

and hangs it on
the back of her chair.

People come and go
through here all the time,

and I got a company shirt,

so I don't think
anyone will notice me.

Get to the desk...

and get the key card.

Once I got the key card,

I can get into the locker
and get the medicine.

There's a second door
out of the locker

into the parking lot.

I just have to...

walk across that,
and it's done.

But I can't do that.

Okay.

That's just your brain
trying to protect you,

but...your brain isn't right.

You have to override it.

Um...

Use this.

Roll it
in-between your fingers.

When you're outside,
you're feeling the sunlight,

you're feeling the wind,
distract your brain.

Focus on that.

Yeah?
Okay.

You got it.

Good--no,
just focus on the dice.

Look at the dice.

Good.

Good job.

Nice.

You got this.

-No, no, no, no!
No.

Glenn...

It's just--it's too much.

-When you're out there--

-Don't think about
what you're doing...

Think about Quincy.

Oliver...

Charlie.

It's good to see you.

How you doing?

Your, uh, angry ex-wife?

Your alienated daughter?

Your loving family?

Don't try to make me angry.

Remember what happened
last time.

What are you doing here?

You harassed Mara Kint.

I saved her...

and tried to warn her about
your precious program.

You knew I'd find out.

As far as I'm concerned,

you were just
asking for attention.

So I'm here.

What do you want?

I want in.

I want my company back--
-It was never your company.

I helped start it.

-And you were well-compensated
for your time and labor.

Why are you erasing me?

Alexis acts like I don't exist.

That Kint woman had never
even heard of me.

There are reasons

your picture's not on
the brochures anymore.

You know what they are.

I made mistakes.

I know it and I accept it.

This program, it...

Messed me up.

But now I know how to fix it,

so if you'll just let me--
-Not gonna happen.

-Give me another BCI.
Give me access to the Reverie.

I can help you stop
this massive disaster

that you're not even--
-Oliver.

There is no world

where you come back
to work at Onira-Tech.

Do you understand?

Have you been
taking care of yourself?

Don't do that.

-Have you been taking
your medication--

Don't do that!

Take your meds.

Stay away from Alexis...

and Mara...

and me.

I won't tell you again.

.

-Are you sure about this?
-Yeah.

Okay.

How are you?

-Scared.
Sick.

-That's okay.
Even hardened criminals

get scared before a job.

You're lying.

Thank you so much.

Here.

So we can hear each other.

You got this, Glenn.

Okay, where are you?

-Blue hallway.
No one's coming.

Okay, be patient.

Just breathe.

Door's unlocked.

Time to hop.

Hold up...

Glenn, what's happening?

Forgot my pen.

-Glenn?
-I'm good.

-Good. Come on, Glenn.
Come on.

You can do it.

One...

two...

Good.

Good.
You got this.

Oh, come on.

No.

No, no, no, no, no. No.

Quincy?

Quincy...

That's right.

Quincy.

Okay, let's do this together.

Now, we're just gonna
take a step.

We're just gonna take a step.

I did it.
-You did.

Congratulations.

What's going on?

-Did you really think we were
gonna help you commit a felony?

I-I don't understand.

-Hi, Glenn.
I'm Monica Shaw.

I...

-This is the CEO of MRL,
Richard Brewster.

-Pleasure.
-Hi?

Glenn, would you be so kind

as to give Mr. Brewster
his drugs back?

When I approached Mr. Brewster

and told him
we were using Reverie

to test and find weaknesses
with security systems,

he didn't quite understand,
so...

I offered him a demonstration.

-It wasn't easy
watching you bypass

every one of
our security measures.

You practice this
in a VR space?

-He built your whole facility.

I have to say, I'm as terrified
as I am impressed.

-But now you know
where to make improvements.

Most certainly.

I offered to pay Ms. Shaw
for this service,

but she said there was
a better way to reward you.

I don't understand.

-They're giving Quincy
a spot in the trial.

They took him.

They're giving him
the medicine.

How?

-I mean, it--well,
it's a long story, but...

basically,
they just wanted to help.

We all did.

Glenn...

That's amazing.

Can you w--wait here?

I-I wanna go tell Quincy.

Let's, uh...

let's just go tell him
together.

Sure.

I-I mean...

Of course.

-Are you Alex?
-Sure am.

-You really meant
what you said

Sure did.

You know you can get a BCI

for practically nothing?

No, I can't.

It's gonna take some time.

Security's pretty tight
right now.

-That's why I'm talking
to you, a security guard.

30,000.

What do you want a BCI for?

Same as everyone else.

Live out my fantasies...

Get the girl that got away.

Hey.

-I heard
Glenn gave you some info

on the Dark Reverie sites.

That's a big win.

-Yeah,
Charlie seems to think so.

Charlie's...always right.

The first time I met Oliver,

he talked about how the brain
was a time machine.

It could remember the past,

be present in the moment,
and imagine the future.

I told him my idea for Reverie,

how it could turn the brain
into a teleportation device.

Between the both of you,

that pretty much covers
time and space, huh?

We fit...

and really almost
from the start.

You were in love.

He was unstable...

but he was so brilliant...

and funny.

And it felt like
he accepted me...

completely.

I hadn't felt that way since...

In a very long time.

Then his paranoia got worse...

and his mood swings.

We were working on 2.0 by then,

and he blamed his problems

on the program.

We had a huge fight about it.

Then, that night, he tried
to set my house on fire

with some gasoline
and that Zippo lighter of his.

Did you have him arrested?

No.

Charlie talked to him,
fired him,

disabled his BCI,
and got the restraining order,

and paid him enough money
to go away...

At least for a while.

-Alexis, I understand why
you wanna keep this a secret,

but...you didn't do
anything wrong.

You have nothing
to be ashamed of.

He was my partner

and the biggest mistake
of my life.

I won't be defined by that.

I won't be the idiot tech girl

who fell for
the psycho bad boy.

The investors

They're all looking for
a reason to discount me.

I won't give it to them.

I know it's weird,
but I'd appreciate it

if from now on, we could
act like it never happened.

Like what never happened?
