Reverie, 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.

Her job, 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"...

But why are you so
concerned about her, Charlie?

She's running around
in other people's brains,

using a technology we barely understand.

Exitus!

Have you noticed anything unusual

since the BCI was implanted?

Weird stuff, hallucinations?

We call it derealization.
It's a temporary effect.

Put away anything
associated with the person,

pictures, whatever,
and take one of these.

Hi, there.

Good-bye, have a good day.

- Thank you.
- Thanks.

Hi, you mind staying open a tick longer?

I'd like to make a withdrawal.

- Everybody, hands in the air!
- Get down on the floor!

- On the ground, now!
- Get down, don't move.

All of you, out from
behind the counter, now!

Do I have your undivided attention?

Good. In case anyone's confused,

my colleagues and I are here to extract

every last dollar
from this fine establishment.

Go. Load it up, load it up.

Hell yeah.

Thank you very much for your cooperation.

Believe me, the pleasure is all mine.

Nate, are you in there?

Nate.

Nate, I'm coming in.

Oh, my God. Nate.

Nate, can you hear me?

Nate!

Why do you keep doing this?

Hi, there.

Would you sit with me?

I know this isn't real.

I mean, I don't even know what you are.

You're not a ghost, are you?

No, okay.

Forget I even said that,
because that would be weird.

As if this isn't
already weird enough, but...

My God, is it good to see you again.

You smiled.

Can I give you a hug?

Just a little one?

No, no, oh.

Oh, what are you doing?

What are you doing?

Charlie, what's up?

Mr. Hallo was fired from his job,

is severely in debt,
and now he and my client

are in danger of losing their home.

All as a direct result
of this time spent in Reverie.

- Which is why...
- Mr. Baez...

Which is why this morning,
we're filing suit

against Onira-Tech for damages.

Your husband's name is Nate?

How long has this been going on?

Three months.

That's when he started using Reverie.

He's completely disappeared from my life.

I am so sorry you're going through this.

We're all very sorry, Mrs. Hallo.

But spending time in Reverie
was your husband's choice.

No, this wasn't a choice.

We're having a baby
in a few months, and uh...

I don't even know
if he's going to be there.

The Nate I married would
never do something like that.

He couldn't. You don't know him, but...

he's always been there for me.

When my mother was dying,

he slept every night
in the hospital for a month.

Now, he can't even talk to me.

Something's wrong.

He's all that I have now,
I can't lose him.

Please.

I need him out of that program.

I'm sorry, Mrs. Hallo.
It doesn't work that way.

Can't you just turn it off?

Nate can't come out unless he chooses to.

What if that never happens?

What am I supposed to do then?

Okay, okay, I think we're done here.

- Give me one day.
- Excuse me?

Mrs. Hallo, I'm going to do
everything that I can

to bring your husband back.

But I really need you to trust me.

You have one day.

Apertus.

Okay.

All right, where are you, Nate?

Well, that's definitely not him.

Okay, come on, come on.

Nobody goes into Reverie
to be a looky-loo.

Badges and guns. Okay, now we're talking.

The bank is surrounded,
come out with your hands up.

- Uh, excuse me?
- Whoa, ma'am.

You need to clear the area right now.

I'm looking for Nate Hallo,
have you seen him?

Go!

- You!
- Hold your fire.

- You're Nate Hallo.
- Civilian in the line of fire!

Stop distracting me, I'm in
the middle of a robbery here.

Yes, I know. I can see that.

My name is Mara Kint.
I work for Omira-Tech.

Nate, you're in trouble.
You have to leave.

What? No, stop, stop.

What?

Come back! Get back here!

Money!

Wait, he was a bank robber?

How did you know it was him
if he was wearing a mask?

He was standing on a car, holding a gun,

a bag of money, and taunting the police.

If that's not a depressed
suburbanite's fantasy,

- I don't know what is.
- Any idea why he's staying in?

He flew away on a helicopter
before we could talk about it.

What is that, anyway?

Design images Alexis
asked me to put together.

She has a presentation
to the board tomorrow.

I bet she loves that.

It's hard to describe
just how much she hates it.

Like the heat of 10,000 suns
starts to get there, but...

You know, you could try
red teaming Hallo.

- Red what?
- Red teaming.

It's a tech company thing.

When you run into an obstacle
you can't overcome,

you try a counter-intuitive approach.

The opposite of what logic suggests.

So, instead of me chasing him,

I get him to come to me.

Exactly.

Oh, I wouldn't go in there.

Alexis is preparing for tomorrow.

And her mood is less than receptive.

- How's it coming?
- Eh, there's still time.

How's Mara doing with Hallo?

Made contact, she's trying again.

Hmm. What's her state of mind?

She says it's good.

I've been monitoring
her EEG, like you asked.

Brainwave activity is well
within normal parameters.

Though there is more volatility
than I'd like to see.

Paul, is she in trouble or not?

She's fine, as long as she takes her meds

and stays away from imagery
that induces derealization.

The effects she was experiencing...

they're hallucinations, right?

She said she was seeing
somebody from her past.

She say who she saw?

I didn't think it was my
business to ask, to be honest.

Is there something I should know?

Nothing at all.

- Can you help me?
- Uh, maybe.

- Hi, I'm Mara Kint.
- Casey Hathaway.

You're the 2.0 lady. Awesome.

So you're a designer.

Yeah, I float between the teams.

Decal there runs the wind team,
Megan's in charge of water,

and we all work on greenery.

Okay, so I need help
getting ready for a Reverie.

Sure, anything I can do.

I know that I can change
my look when I go in,

and carry something small, like a gun.

Well, the question is, can
I carry something much larger?

Yeah, absolutely.
What did you have in mind?

He's shooting, then he
takes off on a helicopter,

throwing money like a madman.

Is that what I think it is?

Hey, boss, check out that armored truck.

Oh, wow.

Have a look at that.

Take the front, I'll take the back.

You again.

Give me some space.

I said give me some space. What...

Okay, what do you want?

- I'm here to help you.
- I don't need it, I'm fine.

- Thanks.
- Okay, look.

I understand.

In here, you get to be who you want.

You get to do what you want.
And that's very powerful,

but you're paying for it
with your life, Nate.

Your real life.

You are spending
so much time in the Reverie

that it's falling apart.

Lady, I don't even know
what you're talking about.

Oh, yes, you do. I spoke with your wife.

She said something's wrong.

She really needs you to come out.

Annie...

Annie's better off without me.

This is my real life now.

- No, Nate...
- We're done here.

No, no, hey.

Wait! Wait!

You know what to do.

Hey!

What are you doing? Excuse me?

Okay, come on, let me out of here.

Okay?

Stop! Stop!

End of the road!

Stop!

Exitus!

Hi, Annie.

My lawyer said not to talk to you.

Oh, I'm not here about the lawsuit.

All I care about is Nate.

Please.

I could really use your help
to get him out.

Okay.

I think you were right.

Something is wrong.

Something is keeping him in there.

Do you have any idea what that could be?

I've asked myself that
question a million times.

I can't figure it out.

Well, were there money issues?

Or maybe it had something
to do with your pregnancy?

No, nothing like that.

Nate couldn't wait to be a dad.

Well, there has to be a reason.

I don't know, I...

For a while, I thought it might have

something to do with the break-in, but...

You had a break-in?

Yeah, it was pretty awful.

We were both home when it happened.

Oh, my God.

Someone broke in through a window.

I was in the other room,
but Nate walked in on him.

He had a knife.

He didn't hurt us, thank God.

But I couldn't sleep
for weeks afterwards.

I can't even imagine.
How did Nate handle it?

He was fine.

I mean, we were both freaked
out the night it happened,

but he got over it pretty quickly.

Actually, he started telling me
a few weeks later

I needed to move on.

- Well, maybe he didn't.
- No.

The break-in didn't do this.
Something else happened.

That's what's so weird about all this.

Nate's the guy other people lean on.

Friends, family, work.

He's always had everything under control.

Until this.

He would never leave me alone.

Not unless something were really wrong.

- Hey, Charlie.
- Hey, what's up?

Okay, so, Nate and Annie
had a break-in four months ago.

He walked in on the intruder.

Well, that's a scary situation.

Think that's got something to do

with why he's staying in Reverie?

Well, she doesn't, but
I just want to check it out.

So, can you pull the case file
and see what's there?

Sure thing. Are you out of the office?

Yeah, just for an hour or so.

Heading home?

Uh, no. I'm going back to Onira-Tech

to go in after Nate. Why?

Oh, no reason.
I'll see you when you get in.

Hey, guys, I need a can
of gasoline and a lighter.

- Hell yeah!
- Hang on a minute, why?

For his Reverie.

And gasoline's going to do what, exactly?

It's going to make him pay attention.

My car!

What the hell happened to my car?

Hey!

Do I have your attention?

- What?
- How about now?

They're mine, just give them back.

- Make me.
- No, no, no, no, no.

It's all right, it's okay,
I got it, I got it.

Nowhere else to go.

Give me back what's mine.

Not until you talk to me.

No, no more talking.

You're just going to try
to get me to leave.

- Why won't you?
- I'm not ready.

But that's not you, Nate.

I talked to Annie, she told me
about her mom dying,

and how you were there
for her every single day.

You're not the kind of guy
to just walk away.

I understand that these Reveries

are very hard to let go of.

But you are destroying
your life by staying in.

It has cost you your job.

Your house, maybe.

Don't let it cost you your marriage too.

Your new family.

You can leave.

Right now, with me.

Let's just leave.

What's that? Is that you?

No. I don't know.

I've never heard that in here before.

No.

What is that?

Hey, stop.

What are you doing? Stop.

Wait! Hey, wait!

Stop!

Nate!

You should have seen his face.

Paul, this thing that appeared.

Nate didn't bring it
with him into his Reverie.

He was terrified of it.

Why would the program do that to him?

The program's complicated.

It reads clients on a chemical
and neurological level.

- Sometimes, it unearths things.
- What things?

Let's say you want to go
to Paris in your Reverie.

We build that, and the
algorithm fills out the world.

But the program takes it further.

It watches your reactions.

Figures out you don't just want Paris.

You want Paris in May.
On a crisp night after a rain,

with the scent of tulips
and Nutella in the air.

So, you're telling me what?

That Nate Hallo wanted to be attacked?

Not wanted. Needed, maybe.

For reasons he may not
be able to fully articulate.

Uh...

I can show you what I mean.

But I'll have to take you
into one of my Reveries.

If that's all right.

Of course.

I mean, if it's all right with you.

I think I can trust you.

These are all Reveries you designed.

One of the perks of the job.

Through here.

This is my house from when I was a child.

I built it as an experiment.

To see if I could recreate an
environment purely from memory.

Well, it looks pretty good to me.

It is actually, I'm quite proud of it.

But after it was done,
I kept coming back.

I couldn't figure out why.

You know, when I left the real place,

I couldn't get out fast enough.

Swore I'd never go back.

How come?

Most of my life, I've dealt
with fear and anxiety.

Night terrors, panic attacks.

Some days, I couldn't leave my room.

All that started here.

You don't seem like an anxious person.

You get good at covering up.

And lately, I've been treating it.

With Reverie.

This way.

My parent's room,
my room, my sister's room.

Then one visit, I found this.

What is it?

It's something the program added for me.

It read me, and read my reactions.

And manifested something
I would instinctively

connect with this house.

A door?

Yeah, okay.

Not a door.

What's behind it?
What's behind the door, Paul?

My father was a difficult man.

Not a good provider, an alcoholic.

Cruel and abusive when he drank.

On the good nights, he'd pass out.

On the bad ones...

In here, I realized...

that all my fear was fear of him.

And I had tried things.

Drugs, therapy. but nothing worked.

Not until the program created this.

A Reverie version of my father.

And a safe place where I could face him.

Paul...

I learned he wasn't a monster.

Just a deeply unhappy man.

With a family he never really wanted.

You can go.

Shall we?

Thank you for sharing that.

No problem.

- Are you okay?
- I'm fine.

Paul.

Yes?

Those other doors in the Anteroom.

The other Reveries.

What do I use them for?

Another time, perhaps.

Got something for you.

This is the man that broke
into Nate Hallo's home?

Yeah, it turns out
it wasn't his first time,

and it wasn't his last.

He's been linked to four home
invasions in the last year.

LAPD's been looking
for this guy for a long time.

- And there is something else.
- What?

I spoke to the detective
that was assigned to the case.

- Nate Hallo never came in.
- What are you talking about?

The detectives wanted him
to look at mug books

so that they could identify this guy.

He never showed.

Well, that must have been a mistake.

No, he stood up the police three times.

It was no mistake. For whatever reason,

he didn't want to identify him.

A few weeks after the break in,

Nate told his wife
that she needed to move on.

What? A guy breaks into my home,

while I'm there with my wife,
I'm not moving on from that.

And this isn't the guy
that I saw in the Reverie.

In the Reverie, he was much bigger.

And he had all these scars
all over his body.

And he had tattoos.

He had two black X's
right on the side of his neck.

There's no mention of any tattoos here.

Maybe it only exists in the Reverie.

No, it was too specific.

Like it was a detail
from his personal life.

I think this assault
is why Nate's staying in.

And I think the program read him,

and then created some sort of

Reverie version of his attacker.

Charlie, I know how to get him out.

But I need your help.

Detective Bregman?

Charlie Ventana. Thanks for meeting me.

Jeanie. Heard good stuff about you.

Lot of people on the job
were really sad to see you go.

Some weren't, believe me.

So you got any leads for us
on this home invasion suspect?

Yeah, new information
from one of his victims.

Your suspect had a tattoo
on his neck, two black X's.

- Yeah?
- Yeah, any help?

Maybe.

Could be that our guy runs
with the Calle Veinte gang.

Small street gang that uses
two X's to rep their set.

- Think you can ID him?
- I can't, but a friend of mine

is a gang counselor downtown.

He used to run with these guys.
If anybody can ID him, he can.

- I'll give him a call.
- Thank you, Jeanie.

Hey, I'm curious, uh...

this witness client of yours,

why didn't he mention this before?

Good question.

I didn't think anyone else was here.

I'm just waiting for
a phone call from Charlie.

He's getting me something.

I hope he's getting me something.

I can't get Nate Hallo out if he doesn't.

You?

I'm working on
a presentation for tomorrow.

Oh, yeah, I heard about that.
The investors, that's right.

- How's that going?
- Great, actually, really well.

Oh, Dylan, what is the most recent thing

Alexis said about the presentation?

That it made her
want to jump off the roof.

- Dylan.
- She asked.

God, I hate these things.

I hate them, I hate them, I hate them.

- You need LERI.
- Who's Larry?

No, not Larry. LERI. L-E-R-I.

Listening, Empathy, Rapport, Influence.

Okay, that sounds touchy-feely.

Listening, you have to actually hear

what the other person wants.

Not just think about what
you're going to say next.

Yeah, I'm not good at that.

And empathy means understanding

where the other person's coming from.

But more importantly, it's how they feel.

I knew this sounded touchy-feely.

Okay, you want my help or not?

Now, rapport happens
when the other person

understands what you're feeling.

And then once you have rapport...

I'll be able to influence people.

Exactly. LERI.

- So, what's the presentation?
- It's a strategy launch.

Okay, great. What's the strategy?

To increase new users
by 12% at fiscal year end.

Cap loss generated debt at current rates,

and expand overseas manufacturing to...

I know.

Forget about the numbers,
just talk to me.

What is your dream for Onira-Tech?

I want everyone in the world
to experience Reverie.

- Every single person.
- Why?

Because Reverie is not an escape.

It's a bridge. It can connect people.

You experience it alone,
but it shows you you're not.

Use it right, and you can gain
self-confidence, you can heal.

Feel better about yourself.

Learn not to be afraid.

Yes.

Reverie is...

A gift.

Everyone should have it.

Say that, you'll do fine.

Thanks.

Did you just LERI me?

Charlie, what's up?

LAPD tracked down Hallo's attacker.

They're sitting on his house,

and will pick him up when he comes home.

Oh, that's great.

Slow down, there's a catch.

They'll only hold him if Hallo ID's him.

If not, he walks.

Mara, it's time to get our client out.

- It's okay, it's just me.
- I asked them to wait outside.

I wanted to be alone.

Are you all right?

Pretty far from it right now,
I have to say.

That thing dragged me
halfway across the city

before he dumped me
by the side of the road.

Why didn't you leave last night?

I wanted to, I did.
I couldn't, I couldn't move.

I could hardly breathe.

Okay, come on.

- Let's get you out of here.
- I can't.

Yes, you can, Nate.

There's no danger anymore. We found him.

LAPD is at his house right now.
He's going to prison.

But only if you leave and identify him.

I know this isn't easy,

but it's the only way
you'll get past this.

I-I never used to be afraid.
Not like this.

I was strong, I was confident.

Here is the only place
I can feel like that again.

It's okay.

You know, if somebody came into my home,

I don't know how I'd get over it.

That's not it, is it?

Something else happened.

He came back.

It was a few weeks after the break-in.

I was in the alley, taking out the trash.

And I felt the metal
on the back of my neck first.

And then I heard his voice.

And he said he'd kill me
if I talked to the police.

I thought I was going to die.

I thought that was
my last moment on Earth.

Since then, I just...

haven't been able to shake
the fear, it's in my bones.

I don't think I could face him,
it's pathetic.

No.

Two years ago...

my sister and my niece were
killed right in front of me.

Shot by my brother-in-law.

I still can't go back
to the house where it happened.

I can't even drive down the street.

The problem is...

I know that that fear will never go away.

Not until I face it.

And neither will yours.

Unless you do something about it.

You know what I'm most afraid of?

What?

Telling Annie why I'm really here.

If she finds out who I really am,

- how could she love me?
- Nate.

All she wants is to have you back.

To start a family.

She loves you, I know it.

It's time to go. She's waiting for you.

- All right, thanks.
- Yeah.

Okay, Mr. Hallo, here's how
this is going to work.

In a minute,

bring the suspect
out of the back of that car.

They're going to face him towards you.

You just take a look at him.
If that's the man

that assaulted you, you just let me know.

- You ready?
- Yeah, I'm ready.

Is that the man that assaulted you?

Mr. Hallo?

That's him.

That's the guy.

Are you sure?

Positive.

Got a minute?

Sure, yeah. What's up?

I appreciate everything you're doing.

But I'm wondering if I was wrong

to bring you into Onira-Tech.

What? Why?

The job comes with a lot of stress.

And I'm not sure
if it's the best fit for you.

I just got Nate Hallo out of a Reverie.

Where is this coming from?

You know how much I like you, Mara.

But I can't have you here
if you're not truthful with me.

I am.

Who are you seeing in your
derealization episodes?

Jamie?

- Charlie, listen.
- Are you seeing your sister?

Your niece, is it Brynn?

Yes.

What about the brother-in-law, Ray?

It's just Brynn.

And I take it you're not
following Paul's instructions.

I warned you how dangerous this was.

I know it's dangerous,
but the truth is...

seeing Brynn, just...

getting to spend
a few moments with her, it...

It was more than I dreamed.

Charlie, this job,
helping all these people...

It has made me feel really good
about myself again.

I haven't felt that way
in a really long time.

Don't take that away from me.

Okay.

- Head home.
- Okay.

- Get some rest.
- Thank you.

- Thank you, Charlie.
- A new day tomorrow.

Mara told me what happened.

Are you okay?

I'm better now.

I'm so sorry, Annie.

I never meant to hurt you.

I had no idea he came back.

Why didn't you say anything?

Some shame, some self-loathing.

- More shame.
- Why?

You didn't do anything.

I didn't fight, didn't yell,
didn't even run.

I just froze.

I would have done the same thing.

It's different.

I always thought
that if something happened,

I could take care of you, and...

I could protect you.

I didn't want you to stop loving me.

You don't always
have to protect me, Nate.

We protect each other.

I still can't go back

to the house where it happened.

I can't even drive down the street.

Just tell me how all of this got started.

It's too late for it.
I really screwed up.

No.

You haven't done anything
that can't be undone.

You can do this, you can do this.

Okay.

Ray! Ray! Ray!

You got this, you got this.

You got this.

Brynn.

What are you doing here?

Aunt Mara.

Yes, baby, yes. Yes.

You're here for a reason.

What reason, honey?

This isn't real.

This is...

this is not real.
