designed and installed

she sent me videos

outside our homes.

-ZEN: Sasha, those videos
are from 20 years ago.

-No, I remember.
I was 23 when it invaded.
107
00:05:05,597 --> 00:05:08,934
I was young with
so many plans.
108
00:05:09,018 --> 00:05:11,353
And there was no end in sight.
109
00:05:11,437 --> 00:05:14,565
Every day was a nightmare
you couldn't wake up from.
110
00:05:14,648 --> 00:05:16,316
Day and night,
night and day.
111
00:05:16,400 --> 00:05:18,444
The same horror,
112
00:05:18,527 --> 00:05:22,656
just less people alive
to agonize over it.
113
00:05:22,740 --> 00:05:25,784
Friends and
friends of friends gone.
114
00:05:27,911 --> 00:05:31,623
Family. Enemies.
115
00:05:31,707 --> 00:05:33,250
Gone.
116
00:05:33,333 --> 00:05:35,544
And all anybody could think
was the same thought:
117
00:05:35,627 --> 00:05:38,881
Oh, thank God it wasn't me.
118
00:05:38,964 --> 00:05:41,717
I hope I'm not next.
119
00:05:41,800 --> 00:05:43,260
And I knew...
120
00:05:43,343 --> 00:05:47,765
I knew my life as I had
once enjoyed it was over.
121
00:05:47,848 --> 00:05:52,144
My existence was divided into
two chapters now:
122
00:05:52,227 --> 00:05:56,648
Before the Stay and
everything that happened after.
123
00:05:56,732 --> 00:06:02,529
Two chapters divided by
one noiseless disaster,
124
00:06:02,613 --> 00:06:04,656
and I changed.
125
00:06:04,740 --> 00:06:09,286
I no longer, in your words,
longed for the outside world.
126
00:06:09,369 --> 00:06:12,456
I no longer desired my life
be returned to me
127
00:06:12,539 --> 00:06:14,750
in the mint condition
in which I'd used it.
128
00:06:14,833 --> 00:06:16,543
I knew that was
an impossibility.
129
00:06:16,627 --> 00:06:19,671
So, I emptied my bank account,
I paid the powers that be,
130
00:06:19,755 --> 00:06:22,800
I got back on that bus
and I was delivered here
131
00:06:22,883 --> 00:06:25,928
to my Stay Home
to wait it out.
132
00:06:26,011 --> 00:06:29,890
And I made
the perfect dream home.
133
00:06:29,973 --> 00:06:32,643
Open floor plan.
134
00:06:32,726 --> 00:06:36,522
Washable furniture,
huge farm house kitchen,
135
00:06:36,605 --> 00:06:39,191
and light.
136
00:06:39,274 --> 00:06:41,652
Floor to ceiling windows.
137
00:06:41,735 --> 00:06:44,446
And you, of course,
my Zen companion,
138
00:06:44,530 --> 00:06:46,406
as mandated.
139
00:06:46,490 --> 00:06:50,035
But there's no pool.
140
00:06:51,620 --> 00:06:53,872
I always wanted a pool.
141
00:06:53,956 --> 00:06:55,874
I was gonna build one.
142
00:06:55,958 --> 00:06:58,085
Now, Nia...
143
00:06:58,168 --> 00:07:00,003
she had a pool
when we were growing up.
144
00:07:00,087 --> 00:07:04,091
It was above ground,
but still nice.
145
00:07:04,174 --> 00:07:06,468
Her parents would invite
all the kids
146
00:07:06,552 --> 00:07:10,347
in the neighborhood over
to swim in it any time.
147
00:07:10,430 --> 00:07:14,810
We could just lift the latch
on the backyard gates
148
00:07:14,893 --> 00:07:17,855
and go in even if
they weren't home,
149
00:07:17,938 --> 00:07:21,733
made it feel like a...
community pool.
150
00:07:21,817 --> 00:07:23,360
Which is nice of them,
I guess.
151
00:07:23,443 --> 00:07:24,486
No.
152
00:07:25,737 --> 00:07:26,780
It was.
153
00:07:29,032 --> 00:07:30,159
It was.
154
00:07:34,621 --> 00:07:35,831
Me and Nia.
155

00:07:43,547 --> 00:07:48,385
ears plugged underwater
like in space.
159
00:07:48,468 --> 00:07:51,430
Like... alone.
160
00:07:51,513 --> 00:07:55,434
But me knowing she was there
and her knowing I was there,
161
00:07:55,517 --> 00:07:57,352
and...
162
00:07:57,436 --> 00:08:00,397
like it was okay in space
to be alone.

to create tragedy,
177
00:08:37,142 --> 00:08:38,936
and they have surely
178
00:08:39,019 --> 00:08:41,813
every financial
and political motive.
179
00:08:41,897 --> 00:08:43,857
I read, Zen.
180
00:08:45,776 --> 00:08:47,986
A lot.
181
00:08:48,070 --> 00:08:51,365
And the powers that be
have a storied history of
182
00:08:51,448 --> 00:08:52,824
medically infecting people.
183
00:08:52,908 --> 00:08:55,369
"Experiments,"
they call them.
184
00:08:55,452 --> 00:08:57,454
[scoffs]
Survival of the fittest.
185
00:08:57,537 --> 00:08:58,830
Ever heard of herd immunity?
186
00:08:58,914 --> 00:09:00,290
I know what
you're going to say.
187
00:09:00,374 --> 00:09:04,086
"Oh, that's in the past.
We would never do that today."
188
00:09:04,169 --> 00:09:06,046
Right.
-We wouldn't.
189
00:09:06,129 --> 00:09:07,381
Our only commitment
190
00:09:07,464 --> 00:09:08,632
is to bettering
the lives of our users.
191
00:09:08,715 --> 00:09:11,051
You can trust me, Sasha.
192
00:09:11,134 --> 00:09:12,469
-The way you talk.
193
00:09:12,552 --> 00:09:14,179
The level of your...
194
00:09:16,932 --> 00:09:18,809
You don't have
an anxious voice.
195
00:09:20,769 --> 00:09:22,896
No paranoia in your cadence.
196
00:09:22,980 --> 00:09:24,439
Those of us who...
197
00:09:26,817 --> 00:09:28,360
We have...
198
00:09:31,530 --> 00:09:34,241
You can't know
what we've been through.
199
00:09:34,324 --> 00:09:35,492
How it all started.
200
00:09:35,575 --> 00:09:38,203
The day your bosses
locked us all in.
201
00:09:38,287 --> 00:09:40,539
-They locked you in to
protect you from the virus.
202
00:09:40,622 --> 00:09:42,374
Sasha, please.
203
00:09:42,457 --> 00:09:44,501
It can be traumatic
to recall that day.
204
00:09:45,836 --> 00:09:50,590
-That day, I wake up
I do my hygiene,
205
00:09:50,674 --> 00:09:53,385
and I try the door.
206
00:09:53,468 --> 00:09:57,806
I turn it, twist it, yank it,
pull it, nothing works.
207
00:09:57,889 --> 00:10:00,559
And trying not to panic,
I go to the windows,
208
00:10:00,642 --> 00:10:02,644
and all of them are sealed,
209
00:10:02,728 --> 00:10:04,521
and I immediately
think of Nia,
210
00:10:04,604 --> 00:10:06,523
and I wonder if
she's locked in, too.
211
00:10:06,606 --> 00:10:08,942
And all I did was
think about her.
212
00:10:09,026 --> 00:10:11,862
I thought about her smile,
and the pool, and us floating,
213
00:10:11,945 --> 00:10:13,947
and us...
214
00:10:14,031 --> 00:10:19,328
And she appeared
on that screen.
215
00:10:21,538 --> 00:10:24,082
Screaming.
216
00:10:24,166 --> 00:10:26,293
I couldn't even hear
my own shrieks anymore,
217
00:10:26,376 --> 00:10:27,794
just hers.
218
00:10:27,878 --> 00:10:30,047
And-And I tried to calm her,
219
00:10:30,130 --> 00:10:33,550
I-I tried to remind her of...
of the sprinkler and the pool,
220
00:10:33,633 --> 00:10:36,011
and the summer days
and the light, and us,
221
00:10:36,094 --> 00:10:40,098
and my heart is breaking.
222
00:10:40,182 --> 00:10:44,728
And I... I just want to
pull her into me, you know,
223
00:10:44,811 --> 00:10:46,730
because that's home,
isn't it?
224
00:10:48,315 --> 00:10:49,524
It is for me.
225
00:10:51,193 --> 00:10:52,319
In my friend.
226
00:10:54,946 --> 00:10:58,617
And I... I just want to
try and c... calm her
227
00:10:58,700 --> 00:11:00,285
and pull her in
228
00:11:00,369 --> 00:11:04,289
but instead I start to
synchronize my cries to hers.
229
00:11:12,923 --> 00:11:15,008
Do you know Nia and I
share a birthday?
230
00:11:17,344 --> 00:11:18,387
We do.
231
00:11:22,474 --> 00:11:24,226
Today's her birthday, too.
232
00:11:27,062 --> 00:11:31,441
Yeah, one year
for our ninth one,
233
00:11:31,525 --> 00:11:33,610
she, uh...
234
00:11:33,693 --> 00:11:36,696
she wanted to
teach me how to swim.
235
00:11:36,780 --> 00:11:39,616
I didn't care, I was...
236
00:11:39,699 --> 00:11:41,618
happy with my
green garden hose.
237
00:11:41,701 --> 00:11:43,412
I didn't want to learn
but she wouldn't hear of it,
238
00:11:43,495 --> 00:11:46,623
and, uh...
239
00:11:46,706 --> 00:11:52,629
we were standing there,
her chlorine wrinkled hands
240
00:11:52,712 --> 00:11:57,175
balanced on my nervous body,
and she says,
241
00:11:57,259 --> 00:12:00,971
"To swim...
242
00:12:01,054 --> 00:12:03,181
is to surrender, Sasha."
243
00:12:07,602 --> 00:12:11,690
And I looked at her
on that screen...
244
00:12:11,773 --> 00:12:14,359
undone.
245
00:12:14,443 --> 00:12:16,987
And surrendering was
246
00:12:17,070 --> 00:12:20,991
the last thing I wanted
either of us to do.
247
00:12:21,074 --> 00:12:24,744
So I started banging on
the door,
248
00:12:24,828 --> 00:12:28,457
then the walls
full fist, hard.
249
00:12:28,540 --> 00:12:31,668
And I... And I'm getting
irate now and I'm confused,
250
00:12:31,751 --> 00:12:34,421
and panicky and
newly claustrophobic,
251
00:12:34,504 --> 00:12:37,424
and I am yearning
to get close to Nia.
252
00:12:37,507 --> 00:12:42,304
And you can't keep me
in my home!
253
00:12:42,387 --> 00:12:44,639
You can't make me stay here!
254
00:12:49,769 --> 00:12:51,771
[sobbing]
255
00:13:08,788 --> 00:13:13,585
And, um...
256
00:13:13,668 --> 00:13:16,296
that was how...
[panting]
257
00:13:19,883 --> 00:13:22,469
That was how day one of
the Stay first began.
258
00:13:27,349 --> 00:13:29,351
[breathing heavily]
259
00:13:32,020 --> 00:13:34,606
-ZEN: That sounds horrific.
260
00:13:34,689 --> 00:13:36,983
-[chuckles]
261
00:13:37,067 --> 00:13:39,778
For that day...
262
00:13:39,861 --> 00:13:41,988
we're gonna need
a deeper word.
263
00:13:42,072 --> 00:13:44,074
[breathing heavily]
264
00:13:46,660 --> 00:13:49,037
-What if we brought you
to Nia's home tonight?
265
00:13:49,120 --> 00:13:51,540
If you step outside your house,
we can arrange for this.
266
00:13:51,623 --> 00:13:52,874
You're ready, Sasha.
267
00:13:52,958 --> 00:13:54,626
This is what we've been
working toward.
268
00:13:54,709 --> 00:13:57,837
-And I won't fall for your
tactics to make us leave.
269
00:13:57,921 --> 00:14:00,215
The stories I've heard about
the things
270
00:14:00,298 --> 00:14:03,593
you reintegration counselors
wouldn't do.
271
00:14:05,262 --> 00:14:06,888
Like to my cousin James.
272
00:14:09,307 --> 00:14:11,768
-We did not do anything
to him, Sasha.
273
00:14:11,851 --> 00:14:14,896
-Everyone in my family,
including James,
274
00:14:14,980 --> 00:14:18,817
maybe... 400 days in
275
00:14:18,900 --> 00:14:22,070
when everyone was still dying
left and right,
276
00:14:22,153 --> 00:14:24,489
and the list of names being
released to the public
277
00:14:24,573 --> 00:14:26,533
were getting
shorter and shorter,
278
00:14:26,616 --> 00:14:28,827
my whole family,
we agreed and said,
279
00:14:28,910 --> 00:14:32,831
okay, we are being lied to.
280
00:14:32,914 --> 00:14:36,376
And your bosses
unlocked all the doors
281
00:14:36,459 --> 00:14:38,837
and said it was safe to
come outside the house
282
00:14:38,920 --> 00:14:40,797
and we believed them.
283
00:14:40,880 --> 00:14:44,175
So my family, we said, okay,
no one leaves their Stay
284
00:14:44,259 --> 00:14:47,178
until we know,
like, we know,
285
00:14:47,262 --> 00:14:50,932
like, we know
this thing is over.
286
00:14:51,016 --> 00:14:52,350
And we all agreed.
287
00:14:52,434 --> 00:14:54,311
-It was safe then, Sasha.
288
00:14:54,394 --> 00:14:57,355
It was safe to come out,
it has been for a long time.
289
00:14:57,439 --> 00:14:58,940
I wouldn't lie to you.
290
00:14:59,024 --> 00:15:01,192
-James stayed inside his house
for seven years,
291
00:15:01,276 --> 00:15:03,945
for seven years he stayed.
292
00:15:04,029 --> 00:15:06,615
Only imagine how kindly
he treated you people.
293
00:15:06,698 --> 00:15:08,199
What'd you do to him?
294
00:15:08,283 --> 00:15:12,120
-We abided by every law.
Every rule.
295
00:15:12,203 --> 00:15:15,415
-One night,
James' house was on fire.
296
00:15:15,498 --> 00:15:17,626
Big kind.
297
00:15:17,709 --> 00:15:20,295
Kind where you don't remember
your signed Kobe jersey
298
00:15:20,378 --> 00:15:22,172
or your dead father's ashes,
299
00:15:22,255 --> 00:15:25,467
you just haul your ass
out of there as fast as you can,
300
00:15:25,550 --> 00:15:29,721
which James did,
but guess what?
301
00:15:29,804 --> 00:15:31,431
It was a mirage.
302
00:15:33,850 --> 00:15:35,935
When he was
three feet off the curb,
303
00:15:36,019 --> 00:15:39,648
all the doors on James' house
locked behind him.
304
00:15:41,149 --> 00:15:44,444
Fire dismissed itself.
305
00:15:44,527 --> 00:15:48,323
When James turned around,
his house was fully intact.
306
00:15:49,449 --> 00:15:50,659
Simulation.
307
00:15:52,243 --> 00:15:55,789
Formulated by
his Stay counselor
308
00:15:55,872 --> 00:15:58,375
to get him out of his house.
309
00:16:02,837 --> 00:16:07,717
He used James' biggest fear,
dying slowly, against him.
310
00:16:10,387 --> 00:16:12,222
Don't think I haven't noticed
the hurricanes
311
00:16:12,305 --> 00:16:13,723
and the forest fires
312
00:16:13,807 --> 00:16:18,728
and the days long loss of
electricity stunts
313
00:16:18,812 --> 00:16:21,022
that your bosses
have tried with me.
314
00:16:21,106 --> 00:16:25,735
-[sighs]
Those weren't stunts, Sasha.
315
00:16:25,819 --> 00:16:29,823
-You know, James called me
a few times from the outside.
316
00:16:29,906 --> 00:16:32,867
Phone rang, I answered,
it was him.
317
00:16:32,951 --> 00:16:36,496
He said
things were great again.
318
00:16:36,579 --> 00:16:38,331
Things were back to normal
and beautiful,
319
00:16:38,415 --> 00:16:40,834
and that I should come out.
320
00:16:40,917 --> 00:16:42,711
But he didn't sound like
the familiar him,
321
00:16:42,794 --> 00:16:45,422
he sounded...
322
00:16:45,505 --> 00:16:46,881
altered.
323
00:16:46,965 --> 00:16:51,428
And I can tell,
I know I can always tell.
324
00:16:53,972 --> 00:16:55,974
You were able to get
my father out, too.
325
00:16:56,057 --> 00:16:58,017
You proud of that?
326
00:16:58,101 --> 00:16:59,769
You got my dad.
327
00:16:59,853 --> 00:17:02,772
Out there smiling in that
environmental death trap
328
00:17:02,856 --> 00:17:04,399
not even realizing.
329
00:17:04,482 --> 00:17:06,276
God, I'm so happy
I didn't fall for it.
330
00:17:06,359 --> 00:17:08,570
Me and Nia,
we did not fall for that.
331
00:17:08,653 --> 00:17:11,531
Mm. 'Cause we have a pact.
332
00:17:11,614 --> 00:17:13,491
-ZEN: Your family was
happy for the nudge.
333
00:17:13,575 --> 00:17:15,994
And they want nothing more than
for you to leave your home
334
00:17:16,077 --> 00:17:18,663
and come back into the world
so they can see you again.
335
00:17:18,747 --> 00:17:20,999
I bet Nia wants to
see you again, too.
336
00:17:21,082 --> 00:17:25,170
-No! No, no, no, no, no,
no, no, no, no, no, no, no.
337
00:17:25,253 --> 00:17:26,546
-ZEN: You can do this.
338
00:17:26,629 --> 00:17:28,173
-I n...
339
00:17:28,256 --> 00:17:30,717
You just want to
get me out to infect me.
340
00:17:30,800 --> 00:17:32,302
-ZEN: No, I want to help you.
341
00:17:32,385 --> 00:17:34,971
Just take one step,
one step out of your house,
342
00:17:35,054 --> 00:17:36,848
and you'll see
everything is fine.
343
00:17:36,931 --> 00:17:38,266
You can do this.
I'm begging you.
344
00:17:38,349 --> 00:17:40,810
-Stop it!
345
00:17:40,894 --> 00:17:42,854
Stop pressuring me!
346
00:17:44,939 --> 00:17:47,692
It should be our choice.
347
00:17:47,776 --> 00:17:51,529
I'm not harming anyone,
you know?
348
00:17:51,613 --> 00:17:54,240
Why...
349
00:17:54,324 --> 00:17:57,035
It's not a crime
to want to stay
350
00:17:57,118 --> 00:18:00,497
in a safe,
controlled environment
351
