- Markus, how are we doing today?

Do you know where you are?

[Distant Loudspeaker announcement]

Markus, do you know where you are?

- Is this Earth?

- Yes, it is.

- Why am I back here?

- You belong here with us.

- No, no, no, no, no.

What's happening?

- Markus, listen to me.

We've been through this before.

- No, I've never seen you before in my life.

- You were doing so well.

Markus, what year is it?

(melancholy music)

- Markus, the year is 2022.

And you are at a world class treatment facility

for certain neurological disorders.

We've been treating you here for two years, Marcus.

And in that time, we've made tremendous strides

with your rehabilitation using the most advanced

and somewhat experimental treatments.

It seems that experimentation

is not without some unwanted effects.

You've relapsed into a delusional state.

You've relapsed into a delusional state.

Well, you imagine you inhabit a far away planet

at some point in the future.

low oxygen levels,

low oxygen levels. - Markus?

Markus?

Markus?

- You're not real.

- And this assessment's based on what exactly?

- You were the part of my brain I unconsciously manufactured

to protect me from the shock of a horrific fall.

- Fall?

- I fell.

(Markus groaning)

And the impact of my injuries combined

with the critical levels of oxygen

is causing me to hallucinate.

And it's probably pieced together out

of some pastiche I unknowingly constructed out of images

from 21st century history books or old movies.

- Okay, you're an intelligent man.

Let's follow this.

You're on a distant planet, alone might I add.

You're oxygen starved and severely injured,

and you dream me up.

Why?

If the reality of the situation

is that you are on Terrain 2.

- Terra 2-B.

- Of course, Terra 2-B.

Here, please open it.

(gentle music)

- [Crowd] No justice, no peace!

No justice, no peace!

(gentle music)

- Look at your bracelet.

Terra 2-B is the officially shortened version

of Terrace 2-B, which is the name of the wing

where your room is here at the facility.

The real world is influencing a delusion you've built.

Perhaps you find it difficult

to cope with the way the world is for you

and to the people that look like you.

And it stands to reason that someone like you

would want to be off world,

perhaps your evidence of the human brain's power

to protect itself against insurmountable trauma.

- [Crowd] Hands up, don't shoot!

Hands up, don't shoot!

Hands up, don't shoot!

Hands up, don't shoot!

Hands up, don't shoot!

(gentle waves crashing)
