should we begin?

this is the place

you have one unheard message first unheard message

jay this is dr meyers would you do me a favor and stop by my office when you get in. we've had

a patient on our floor i'd like to refer you to she is serving a suspended sentence with voluntary

commitment we've had some luck with dialing in her medication that said i think she would

benefit from some counseling with you so let's talk in the AM

end of message to delete this message-

can we open this?

yeah. A glass of wine sounds good

um i'll take care of all this, then get to the rest

where do you think we should start

where do you want to start?

how about why dr meyers thought you should see me instead of her?

she's sick of me?

well our jobs are very different

she's a doctor she's used to writing prescriptions i talk to people i listen

i want to hear from you. but you should know i did ask that you be referred to me

i'm interested in you. i'm interested in what i saw on your file

hey

Um... I'll give you some time to get settled in.

okie

oh. you're awake you feeling any better, hon?

what? what is it?

oh.... no.... no...

why do you have vodka under your desk?

i had to ask a patient earlier today to leave that behind

alcoholics is that your normal thing well

i certainly see my fair share of them

is that what you want to discuss my practice

how long have you been a doctor?

i'm not a doctor

i'm a licensed counselor

isn't that worse

i came to this work because i was once in a place much like this one, okay? i like to think that i

have a rapport with people. just like you i don't like being forced to see doctors

but now you're cured?

well we'll go with that.

if you and i can talk- really talk and get through this

initial evaluation today

then i plan to talk to dr kovac about rolling back some of your medications

even though i'm crazy?

tell me all about it

so you think this place will do?

we'll see

what's for dinner?

soup and fruit salad. what do you think?

sounds good.

gourmet.

ah you like to cook?

sometimes. you?

not really

so how does it feel to be out of there?

really good good.

Good. hey. cheers

to you

seriously?

it's nothing psychoactive. i promise

but what are they?

just some vitamin supplements. i want you to get healthy

so your first meal since we got out of there

how does it feel?

i feel a little sick actually not really hungry

i think there's still a lot of medication in my system

I'm sorry. is there anything i can do?

no

i feel guilty eating by myself

dont.

okay

it's gonna be it isn't it?

i think so it's hard to tell all the elements are right

you said it's happened up here before that these mountains are some kind of

hot spot or something right?

uhuh

they have music i haven't heard a song in months

we should dance.

oh...

yeah! we can move the table out of the way

just for like two minutes.. so nice to be here with you

I will have to be so drunk for that for that....

then finish your wine...

for you. two minutes, that's all. ok

who knew you could dance like that?

I got moves.

what about you shakin' that thing?

hey you know how i feel about you don't you?

yeah i do

yeah ?

yeah

okay well hang. on okay i'm gonna say something serious

okay i can wait

you got a raw deal out of things

but you've survived. you're a survivor

and i really wish that i could make things better for you but i can't

so i want you to know that no matter what happens up here

it will be over one day and i will be there

there. i said it

yeah you did

so is that like a one-way street or something

is that going to be a problem for you jay?

we should probably get you to bed

yeah probably

I'd like to begin taping our sessions, Talia

no i don't want that

this should be documented

you can do it

so what are you gonna do tomorrow?

go out. walk into the forest. seems like it's been forever since I've felt the fresh air

or had time to myself.

sounds nice

today was hard

i know

we could start tomorrow it's never the first night.

a good control then.

you don't have to go

i do

but nothing's happened yet everything's fine right now

i'm sorry

okay

yeah?

hey. good night

...and so i'm trying to understand. we'd like to help you thought you knew miss yang from some place

yes

so you followed her home?

we got up at the same stop

right. you were concerned about Ms. Yang?

i... i didn't think she was who you say she is

i was pretty sure that i'd seen her before. they- they harass me

and they leave they leave phones everywhere for me to find

they... i hear the ringing in my head. uh okay- they like phones but they don't need they don't get problems

um and they they talk around things they they don't say they don't say-say what they mean

you told officer Naylor in his vehicle that they come from outer space?

no no I-I-I wouldn't say that i wouldn't use those words

okay

things are stretching out. it's brighter. i'm over my dresser. i'm moving. spinning slowly or twisting

i'm leaving the windows now i hate this part

i want to scream they don't let you scream and you are trapped inside yourself. it's brighter...

wake up. hey wake up.

huh

ha ha

g'morning

hey how'd you sleep?

fine. I think.

good. there's some coffee in there if you want

okay that sounds good.

I'll just have a little. i slept later than i meant to

i really want to get going

yeah it's beautiful out there. I'm kind of jealous.

oh! hey, you notice any changes?

i don't think so.

nothing at all last night?

no. i mean, there'd be marks. i don't think anything will happen for a few days.

well i've got a ton of work to do today. i'm gonna go through this footage and then transcribe some of our sessions

okay. well. I'm just gonna get going.

yeah. be careful out there

would you tell me again about how it started?

i was eight when my parents died in a car crash and my aunt maria took me in

it was hard to believe there were nightmares when it started happening but that's what maria told me

i'd like to try something with you. post hypnotic suggestion

i don't know. it sounds scary. what if i'm- what if i get trapped?

that's not how this works

what happens is that i use specific prompts with you i guide you through it all and i

ensure that when you come back you feel completely normal at ease well rested

okay i trust you

look i know what people are going to say okay i understand she was troubled

she had issues and we were having an argument but that's not what happened

i was sitting here she was here with me and then the next minute she was literally just gone

Macy? Macy!

Macy!

you! you're not who you say you are you just you just lie and lie and you aren't who y-

listen okay i don't i don't understand what you're saying okay i don't know what it means

but i'm your father macy i was there when you were born

look at me. look at me. look, we'll get you home. okay? you can stay with gram

you can have your own doctors. no more dr murphy just please

Macy? Macy!

this is my daughter this is macy helen graves if you've seen her seen her anywhere please please

contact the number that's been given by the police macy if you're out there if you're watching this

come home honey we miss you just we just want to know where you are

...and it's disgusting. and i don't even feel it all that much. how could you? during the day at least you don't think about it

how's your work going?

what are you wearing you?

you like it?

yeah it's just seems...

what?

different i guess

you ready for some wine?

yes

it was nice though i was able to get a lot of work done

it's really quiet here oh here's the river you think there'd be at least a squirrel or something, right?

it made me a little paranoid i felt like something was watching me i guess i'm just used to the...

it's happening isn't it?

Talia. Tal-

hey

hey

don't get up too quick okay

okay

did you take my blood?

Look, i'm worried about you okay? you seized up you went dark on me we have to figure out what's going on

i don't want you to do that

but we need to figure out what's wrong with you

i'm not your possession

no of course you're not

throw the sample out

come on you don't think that we should just get it tested?

what did i just say to you?

excuse me?

tell me what i just said to you.

you said i should throw it out

that's right jay we can't have you behaving like them no needles no samples no experiments.

you can be trusted can you?

maybe we should call it a night

i'm gonna take a shower

go for it

sometimes i even want them to like me. the table is cold i'm naked and they're poking

at me now it's disgusting i'm so embarrassed so ashamed i want to cry. they're turning me over now

they've put something in my mouth it's like jello it has no flavor...

hey just thought i'd say good night how are you feeling?

fine mostly

Good.

mind if i stick around for a bit?

It's odd.

what is?

being here with you

it's as if i had a really bad dream

and i woke up and it wasn't real but one of the characters from my dream came with me

i never trust things to be real

dreams are comforting in that way. you can you can feel them start and end and

good or bad whether you want them to or not that's what they do and you can trust that

you know what i mean

yeah i think so.

i had this dream once that i woke up next to you

and it was just an ordinary morning

and i hold that in my hand like a photo and a wallet

i dream about biting you cutting and scratching but i have to

it's the only way i can keep you and there's a wilderness and it's lush but it never rains

and it's you me and the bugs and we're naked and dirty

and cold and hungry

i never want it to end

I have to go.

T hen go.

i will

so where did we leave off last session

i don't know

some kind of extreme bodily harm and existential torture

hey since it's our two-month anniversary-um

you wouldn't have that wrong bottle of vodka lying around would you?

Talia, honey, we gotta speak.

Pick up the phone.

Hey.

Pick up the phone, Girl.

Answer the phone.

pick up the phone

jay?

jay?

hey, sorry. sorry

It's okay.

hey so i was thinking um i don't know if it's a good idea that you go hiking alone today

so come with me

well i would love to but i overslept i got all that footage from last night to watch

but i'm scared that you'll have another attack like you did yesterday

i don't usually get them during the day

i guess... just be careful, okay?

okay you're sweet.

i don't know about that.

I'm gonna get going

hey

hello

we are all very concerned about you

i'm well thank you for your concern

i am concerned that you are overwhelmed by your tasks

memory is a difficult function

the body is complicated-endorphins, hormones

constantly the urge to express some bodily function to vomit or touch myself

or yell or fall asleep it can be overwhelming but i like the sunshine in the forest

say more

i'm healthy and clear-headed i'm grateful for are all your concern.

we are all very grateful for your work

Now please hang up the telephone.

We are done with speaking

Hi.

Hi!

Can I help you?

Yeah I'm Jon Dunn

Your neighbor from just down the road.

I got a little shop down there. this is my wife abigail we we're just working in the shop saw you

down here wanted to come by and welcome you to the neighborhood

i appreciate it. thank you

Yeah...

Got the place all to yourself?

yeah yeah

it's a real special spot isn't it yeah it's great what uh what brings you up here?

i'm actually a... writer

Writer, eh? No shit? What kind of stuff?

Science fiction.

HA! Well ya picked the right spot then, didn't ya?

Why?

Well they got the ufo festival every summer all the

hippies come they got the inflatable saucer they said lights in the sky

okay i didn't know that

Well anyway... Hey! We're about to go to the market I'm gonna pick up some stuff. Why don't have Abigail

come by and bring you some cookies or muffins or something later on

oh you know what that's okay i appreciate it i'm just really wanting to get some work done so...

She'll be in and out like a bird, my Abigail.

I have limited time so I kind of want to do the recluse thing.

All right...

I understand. Hey, I really look forward to reading your book uh.. Robert?

Robert

Yeah...

pleasure to meet you

you as well

C'mon, Baby! Back to the grind...

and yeah i've noticed that you don't really ever call them extraterrestrials or anything like that

No, I- not really

well why is that?

i don't know... i think

to give them a place. a home... you're not understanding

well how's that?

you don't get to know them like that. you don't really ever understand what they do

okay but but could you? like if they ever bothered to explain it to you?

I mean...

a roach doesn't really understand the kitchen floor so how could you explain the house to it or

the city or the country or the sky or the stars or the grass

i only know what it feels like i don't know how to put it into

words for you to understand

i'm in the cocoon. it's hot in here

the walls are hard like rock

but the door is made of what looks like skin

it has veins and it moves a bit. the ground...

Hey you!

you scared me

good.

What?

i have to keep you on your toes it's like my job

Ok...

I should warn you: I'm headed straight for the wine.

Ugh! Turn that off! I don't understand how you can listen to my whiny voice all day.

Put some music on that thing

You're in high spirits

Well, let's see i'm not locked up, i'm in a lovely vacation house with a guy who's not half bad looking.

thanks

It's a good day.

Just doesn't seem like you. A different side i guess...

there are a lot of sides to me you haven't seen

hey so this footage that i was reviewing from last night...

Can we not? is this gonna be a bummer? i really don't need you bringing me down right now.

Well we have to talk about it eventually

after dinner then?

sure..

OK, what should we make then?

i don't know

dance with me?

i know it's your "favorite" thing

but it would make me so happy

it's funny you already seem so much better

Hey

We should talk about last night

Talia?

Jay?

and then they take it right from you

Yes?

We're bringing you home.

i'd like some more time

I don't know...

natalia?

talia!

Talia, what's going on? cut me loose talia. come on.

danger to myself and others.

what?

i kept seeing myself as a victim but i hurt people. we're both dangerous to ourselves and others

we both are.

we find what's good what's really good in people and we wreck it to heal ourselves

i couldn't see that clearly before.

Talia, what's with the hammer?

i'm so tired of living in his head

of being this person.

i keep thinking i'll explode out the top of myself and turn into vapors.

Talia look at me and focus. what's with the hammer?

i can't keep it all straight

i have to go.

i have to go home now

Talia, what are you doing?

i'm not a well person, jay, but as much as i can mean something like this

i love you and i know you feel the same.

just let me go

we could go our whole lives and never find anyone as perfectly awful a match as we

are for each other

okay

it's a kind of terrible symmetry

i have to leave and i need you not to follow me.

okay just cut me loose. just cut me loose.

i'm sorry jay i don't have another choice

Talia, come on.

Hey what are you doing with the hammer, talia ? come on!

i'm going to break your leg now

NO!

talia?

talia!

okay, i think i'm all packed.

ugh

Talia Off Camera: "Where are we? I don't know where this is!"

stop!

you're not supposed to be here.

Where do you think you're going with her?

You'll want to choose your next words very carefully, friend.

you're not taking her away from me!

the situation's not in your hands

what are you doing? back up!

what the hell are you doing?

you did this.

i'm sorry, talia

i know.

i just wanted to fix everything for you

i know

there wasn't anything either of you could have done

this is where i leave you

goodbye, jay

ah there he is! the author's up and moving how goes the novel, robert?

where is she?

you know? whether it's from the finest fields in bordeaux or for 3.99 at the bodega

it's just the one damn thing that makes it worth the trip.

you tell me what you did with her

we took her far far from where anyone could help her and we hurt her and we tested her inside and

out for our own benefit until she was so used up that she couldn't live anymore does any of that

start to sound familiar to you, friend?

How did i get here?

How'd you get here the first time? How'd you get out of the hospital? How'd you stop being the patient and start being the doctor?

I want to see her!

oh! Oh! Big man!

What are you going to do? Shoot me again?

If you want her: Go get her. She's outside. Go see

about your girl

talia! talia!

what did you want with her?

with me?

please if you see her will you tell her that i'm sorry?

just tell her i didn't understand, okay? i was wrong!

does wrong of this fucking mean anything?

sir? are you okay?

do you know where you are?

we're gonna get you some help we need you to come with us

i've actually had some health concerns recently.

so i have a lighter caseload

i asked that they refer some of our more

challenging patients
