(uneasy music)

Okay, she's coming back.

Breaking through level four, three.

She's holding a bit of level two.

Stalled there.

Are you timing all this?

Yes.

Now it's level one

and she's back, powering off.

Hi, hi.

Hi, Erin, it's me, it's Meg.

You are back.

Back in the office, safe place.

Do you understand?

It's all right.

You're back with Meg and Harry again.

Do you recognize me?

So how'd you like your first Quadrant experience?

(traffic whirring)

(uneasy music)

Tell me about the fear you felt.

There wasn't any.

Nothing?

No panic or dread?

No, it wasn't fear.

It was more like, I don't know, excitement.

Kind of a turn on.

Never heard a Quadrant trip described that way.

I figure you want truth.

I'm being truthful,

But it was all right there.

The blood, the body torn apart.

You said you've been haunted by that image

ever since You saw it in a book as a little girl.

That memory has never left you and yet

you weren't afraid

when it felt like you were actually

in the middle of that room with Jack the Ripper beside you.

Just wasn't like that.

I saw the whore ripped, but I didn't see him stabbing her,

only what was left afterwards.

It was like a car accident.

You didn't have anything to do with it,

but you can't look away.

But the man who did it was there,

conjured by Quadrant from your thoughts,

but you had no reaction.

Not the one you want.

Sorry.

I still dunno why Jack did it, nobody does.

Is that what you're seeking?

His motivations?

Yeah.

What was his mind all about?

You both said Quadrant would help me gain some insights.

So many bullshit theories out there, you know,

but I thought this thing would give me some reality.

Quadrant can only interpret what's already in your mind.

This gizmo is close to being

with Jack as I'm ever gonna get.

Unless you've got a time machine in the closet.

Erin, Quadrant makes your fears.

Seem like a physical reality

so that you can confront them and defeat them.

Yeah.

Yeah, I know, I read your posts.

That's why I'm here, and the 50 bucks,

You're too smart for that.

The whole point is so that you can have the experience

of burning your fears down

to get rid of them forever.

But I'm not afraid.

And I wanna do another session as soon as possible.

Maybe I'll learn more.

Meg and I will consult,

see what we have available.

How are your eyes?

Still sensitive?

They're fine.

It's one thing I haven't solved yet.

A Quadrant session do still have some small side effects.

When you are in the Quadrant state,

did you touch anything?

Ever felt any physical contact with anyone?

No.

All I saw was London in the 1880s

and it was beautiful.

Including the crime?

I wanted to reach out and touch the body, but I didn't.

Good.

Each treatment will take you further away

from your Ripper obsession.

You know, put it in its proper perspective.

Perspective?

That's dull as shit.

On your profile sheet,

you'd said you wanted to write

"a definitive true crime story".

I mean, Quadrant can end up being

your greatest research tool.

Meg, let's get Erin prepped for next time.

Take two of these every day.

They're natural.

No opioids.

My own formula.

They'll help you be more receptive for next session.

I don't know how I could be, but sure.

What about my guinea pig money?

(uneasy music)

I'm, I'm, I'm sorry Harry, I,

I thought your session would be over by now.

I just, I came for my refill.

I can wait outside.

No, no, no.

Timing is perfect.

This is Erin.

She's new to Quadrant.

Robert's been with us for almost a year.

Why don't you tell Erin about your experiences?

I don't know.

I, I guess so.

Erin,

you'll hear it straight from the patient's mouth.

(door creaking)

What do you wanna get with their 50?

Coffee or blow it all on dinner?

It's your money, you decide.

What do you know about that Harry?

And Meg?

How'd you get involved in all this?

Sorry.

None of my fucking business.

That's okay.

Harry was giving a talk at the community center.

How to kill your nightmares.

I needed to do that.

There.

No, she can eat too.

(soft music)

Neat.

And almost to the brim.

I know what that usually means.

Reconsideration time.

Of what?

Erin's great.

That girl is not the normal type to come to our door.

Not around here anyway.

Nobody normally comes to our door.

Exactly.

She's not tortured by anything.

No baggage.

She just want Quadrant to create a world for her

that she can actually enjoy.

While watching a woman get slaughtered?

She has read about the Ripper case

and retained it,

but that's all that means.

You've seen the signs.

She's obsessed with the killings.

She's not.

(uneasy music)

This is a medical device built

for subjects to go through mental catharsis,

not to use it like a ride at Disneyland.

Come on, Meg, you didn't have to tell me.

I've lived it.

Remember?

Jesus, come (mumbles) developing Quadrant,

a medical device

endorsed by who?

Every grant foundation in the country

thinks I'm a Skid Row quack.

And who's gonna be the evidence

that Quadrant has value,

or that it even fucking works?

Huh, Robert?

Or the guy from the news stand

who thinks he's being attacked by elves?

How many treatments is he gonna take?

There are others.

You've helped a lot of people.

If we're ever gonna get out of this hole,

we need to publish our findings

with an endorsement from a subject who is coherent,

who can talk about the Quadrant experience

and who can show the benefits.

You think little Erin can do all that?

Yes

If she's willing and if we help her,

She doesn't want our help.

Not in the way you're thinking she wants it.

A thrill ride.

(light music)

A few more sessions.

A few more sessions, and then she'll gain objectivity

about this whole Ripper thing.

See it for what it actually is.

A personal obsession that she can just walk away from.

If we help her sort this out,

she can be the perfect spokes model to Quadrant.

Why not?

You know exactly what it's like to go through this process.

(uneasy music)

We're just getting started with her.

Stop hunting for problems that don't exist

Yet.

(birds chirping)

(light music)

You are gonna think it's crazy, but

this is my little slice of heaven.

I don't judge what's crazy.

So you're perfect?

(light music continues) (birds chirping)

(light music continues)

Do you want tea?

Sounds nice.

Freaked out yet?

(light music continues)

Actually, yes.

A little.

[Erin] Don't be.

None of this stuff would exist if people weren't fascinated.

I'm not the only one.

- Well this house is... - Nice.

I got kicked outta my old place.

It was a lot roomier,

but it wasn't next to a cemetery.

Perfect if you feel dead inside.

(light music continues)

So you're kind of surrounded by your fears, aren't you?

You sound like Harry.

I'm not afraid of any of this stuff.

I'm sorry, I claimed I don't judge, but

all this blood seems to

contradict your personality.

I know it's weird.

I've been fired from jobs

for talking about Jack stuff too much.

One old bitch was afraid of me near kids.

At least you can talk about it.

(light music continues)

Robert, we spent the last couple of hours together

and you're supposed to be telling me about Quadrant.

All you've done is hint around.

- Sorry... - And apologize.

You don't have to give me details, but

is Quadrant worth it for you?

You've been going a year, right?

Not quite.

We're not the same.

You get money.

I volunteered for the hell of it.

But I pay Harry for treatments.

So it must be working.

I dunno.

I came to Quadrant because I live in a nightmare world

and I want it to end.

I shouldn't tell you anything else.

And these pills make me sleepy.

Hey, just sit.

You've seen what's hiding in my brain.

How bad could yours be?

My nightmares are pure imagination.

And I know they're not real,

but I can't turn them off and I desperately want to.

(uneasy music)

It's happening now.

(uneasy music continues)

I shouldn't have taken the pills.

What works better for you?

Sleep or staying awake?

(thunder crashing)

I can't look at your face!

She's not here.

(thunder crashing) (dramatic music)

(devil growling)

(Robert screaming)

Jesus Christ.

Robert.

Robert?

Robert, do you know where you are?

You're back in the office, the same place.

Can you hear my voice?

It's Meg.

Robert, can you feel my hand?

Do you know who this is?

You're still with me?

What time did he take his meds?

About 9:30, and he fell asleep right away.

He told me about his session this morning,

but I could barely get him up.

You saw him.

I'm very grateful you got him in.

He's doing some pretty intense screaming.

Do you think this session helped him?

Every session helps.

Let's do a full interview when he comes around.

I can do it now.

No, that's not a good idea.

Why?

'Cause Quadrant just made things worse for me.

I'm been coming here a year.

Nothing like that's ever happened before.

What the fuck was that?

You're supposed to be curing me

and you just left me some place.

Like the edge of death.

You're overreacting and you know it.

Why are you saying this, Robert?

Because it's true.

I don't want Erin to go through that.

Erin?

Erin's scheduled of a treatment is none of your concern.

She held my hand,

contact with reality that got me through that shit.

Not you.

Don't do it, Erin.

- Please don't torture yourself. - Robert.

You're overstepping.

Meg and I know what's best for you based on your progress.

We know.

No one else.

Stop talking about me as if I wasn't in the room.

I wanna do this.

It's only my second treatment,

but I wanna see how far I can go into my world.

If it gets too much, I'll stop.

You can help bring me back.

I want you to.

(soft music)

(traffic humming)

(dramatic music)

You ready for your trip?

Oh yeah.

Relax.

Let Quadrant do the work.

Watching all the colors.

(dramatic music continues)

Hello.

Don't speak.

We don't need words to understand each other.

(dramatic music continues)

(haunting music)

(dramatic music)

(dramatic music continues) (streetwalker screaming)

(dramatic music continues)

Bring her back now.

Cut it off.

Wait.

She's too far in.

You can't just shut down Quadrant.

You know it.

[Meg] Bring her back.

Is she in come kind of danger?

Can you tell me?

Erin?

Erin, hear my voice, it's Meg.

Get her to talk.

Get her to connect.

Forget it.

She's at level six at least.

Give her time to make the trip.

- You've got to hear me. - Her mind's

now passing through level five.

Way back to the office.

- Robert, release here. - A safe place.

Passing through level four,

three.

Her heart rate's leveling off.

(uneasy music)

Jesus.

Yes.

I know who you are.

I know where I am.

Why are you all losing it?

[Meg] You were too far in.

You got lost in Quadrant.

That can happen.

I know you're terrified,

just like I was Erin, but it's okay.

You're safe now.

I'm fine.

I'm better than fine.

Forget terrified.

Okay.

Okay, okay, let's just,

let's take a breath,

give you a chance to relax,

then we'll do the interview, but

I wanna give you a second to recover.

Your mind needs to be clear.

Don't need the time or the breath.

I'm outta here.

I have shit to do.

Quadrant can fool you.

Especially after a trip like that.

You take a couple of steps out that door,

you can fall flat on your face.

Come on, let's grab something to eat

and then we can finish our work.

I'm kind of hungry.

Where's my 50 bucks?

(uneasy music continues)

Don't worry, I'm not skipping town.

I'll be back.

There's just something I need to do right now.

Maybe we'll get together later tonight.

I'll be in touch.

(uneasy music continues)

If you have any brains left, you'll stay away from her.

Why would you say that?

Because I know things about Quadrant that you don't.

It's why I have the white coat and the clipboard.

Just take my advice.

Of course you won't.

(uneasy music continues)

(birds chirping) (light music)

(light music continues)

You don't have to do that.

You already gave me the 50.

[Erin] Use that for some new jeans and a T-shirt.

I've been where you are.

Nice to spend some time inside.

Talk with somebody.

Nothing has to happen.

Hey, do you play?

Yeah, not too good.

My ex used to, we'll try to sing along

but we never made any money

unless I flashed a boob or something.

Flash and you get lunch.

I get it.

Ever do anything more?

Depends on the situation.

I like to make my own choices.

(ethereal music)

Like?

Like I wouldn't be here if I didn't wanna be.

I have a perfectly good refrigerator box staked out for me.

- It's comfortable. - Warm.

Well that's the trade off of the shelters.

You see, nobody fucks with my stuff.

I'm hidden.

Assholes I can't find me.

And if they do,

gimme my pants.

(light music)

My little surprise.

And live another day to make music.

That's what I feel like doing, yeah.

(light music continues)

This what you want?

(ethereal music)

(ethereal music continues) (dark music)

(guitar girl screaming)

(dark music continues)

Bitch.

Bitch.

(Erin screaming)

(ethereal music)

(helmet buzzing)

Erin.

It's Erin.

She's still connected to Quadrant.

We have to go find her.

What are you on about?

I didn't see anything.

Of course not.

You're behind your goddamn monitor.

You don't see what's happening around you.

Your model subject

is doing something that Quadrant's encouraging.

I know it.

She's still connected to the helmet

and that is why it came on.

You're hysterical.

That could have been signal of a fuse break.

No.

Stop justifying.

(tense music)

Don't ever try that shit again.

You know why I'm sensing this and it's not hysteria.

(dark music)

I don't,

I don't doubt you.

(dark music continues)

I would never do that.

(dark music continues)

Let's keep the demons in their cage

until we find out for sure.

(dark music continues) (Meg gasping)

(dark music continues)

(creatures growling)

(Robert screaming)

See?

Come and be with me.

(dramatic music)

(soft music)

You weren't starving.

(soft music continues) (birds chirping)

(uneasy music)

Erin?

It took you some time.

I thought when you saw me in this, you'd fly over.

What was that?

I thought it was a dream.

But it, it wasn't.

No Robert.

It was Quadrant,

and me.

I don't understand.

We're not attached to anything.

We're not in the office.

It felt just like a session.

Even a happy ending?

You're attached to me.

Calm down.

I don't know what's happening to me.

This has gotta be a hallucination.

My heart,

is that a hallucination?

You were there

and it felt real, but it wasn't.

It was real.

Simplified,

I've overpowered Quadrant,

those worlds it creates, I can step into anytime I want.

All I have to do is think it and I'm there.

I don't know how it's happened, but it has.

And I want you to be a part of it.

No.

It's drugs, Erin.

It's that helmet.

You wanna be free of fear?

Really free?

I can help you do that

with no Harry,

or helmet,

or meds.

Isn't that what you want?

More than anything.

So why won't you trust me?

Because I can't.

I can't trust anything.

I can't tell what's real or what's fake.

Except that you're afraid

all the time.

Every morning waking up

and knowing that you are going to be afraid all day.

That's your fucked up reality.

Sleep?

Nothing but nightmares.

Your description.

Your imagined world controls you.

Harry and Meg said that they were gonna help me.

But they haven't.

When you're in Quadrant, do you even fight back?

No.

I just

run.

You don't have to.

You can destroy that world, those creatures,

make them lie dead at your feet,

then you'll be free of all of it.

Do anything you want.

Man, that's Top Gun shit.

How does that sound?

That's all I want.

So let me

help you.

(soft music)

(soft music continues) (dark music)

You know I hate to do that.

Yeah, that's what you always say.

You were ready to destroy everything with Erin.

What if you would've found her?

What were you gonna do?

I can't have none of that shit.

You gotta be very careful.

You can't ruin everything were built, babe.

I know.

(soft music)

Just never come at me with a hypo again.

(soft music continues)

(dramatic music)

You know I'll do it.

(dramatic music)

(tense music)

What do you think?

Still need this?

What?

What's, what's hap, what's happening?

It already happened

and you fell asleep.

How has your dream?

Any nightmares come for you?

I don't, I don't remember.

But I just slept

with no nightmares.

It's because I wore you out.

Killed anything that was coming for you with this.

You didn't see me,

but I was right behind you in nightmare land, slashing away.

It felt good.

I'm your protection.

I let you have a minute of peace,

just like when I slashed that thing from the rocks,

it died and went poof,

like all little nightmares should.

How,

how are you doing all of this?

Let's say Quadrant opened a door.

I'm just going through it.

I wanna help you.

It worked out, didn't it?

Yeah,

I guess it did.

Harry and Meg never got this to happen.

Never gave you one night of peace.

I told you.

I guess we're together

fighting our demons.

I wanna help you.

Do you wanna help me?

Of course.

(ethereal music)

(tense music)

So did you take your meds?

Did you prep?

Not this time.

Robert, that's not like you.

I didn't need them.

I feel all right.

(tense music continues)

The treatments are taking effect.

You could say that, I guess.

(tense music continues)

I've never seen you like this before.

Have a good night?

Yeah, that's because I didn't take your advice.

Who knows, maybe this will be my last Quadrant session.

Hold on.

Now that would be a hell of a mistake.

Let's just see how the session goes.

(tense music continues)

(dramatic music)

(creatures screaming)

(demon growling)

(thunder rumbling) (dramatic music)

(dramatic music continues) (demons screaming)

Let go of your fears.

(dramatic music continues) (demons snarling)

[Harry] Final level.

(dramatic music continues)

Robert?

Robert, can you hear me?

You know where you are?

Yes.

You don't have to go through all that.

I feel fantastic.

No Quadrant monsters chasing me.

You were in the cure stage,

and you were not afraid?

All the treatments brought you to this place, amigo.

This is great.

Do a full interview.

Quadrant delivered peace of mind.

And Robert's our proof.

I'm sorry Harry, but I'm not.

I was terrified running from all that shit in my head.

But Erin got me to fight back, not you.

She was with me.

Erin was here on the couch.

Come on Meg.

You know exactly what I'm talking about.

This is your process.

Imagination Erin or whatever you want to call it,

that's what made the difference.

She gave me the confidence to kill my fears.

Robert.

You can't just build a machine

that personifies your fears supposedly, so what,

you can confront them

and then what, not give me the tools to do it?

You just left me in this fucked up place in my head

where I was too scared to do anything.

Erin stepped in and fought alongside me.

That was my catharsis.

Not really the endorsement we're looking for.

Well I'm sorry,

but the idea was for you to help me

and something finally worked.

(tense music)

All right,

all right,

we'll go into full detail on all this.

Just be ready to do some diary work.

Fine.

Maybe after Erin's session.

No, it's time for you to leave.

I'd like him here.

Separate problems, separate sessions.

(tense music continues)

I see it, you're too mentally entwined.

(tense music continues)

We've got a lot to figure out.

It's okay, Bobby.

It's all right.

I'll contact you later.

Are you sure?

Meg says she knows best.

(uneasy music)

I liked him better when he was a mouse.

Should a doctor be talking shit about his patients?

A professor can talk about his subjects

anyway he wants.

(uneasy music continues)

You know where I wanna go.

And I know why you wanna go there.

Goodie.

Just keep taking your little notes

and letting me have the great experience.

(tense music)

You said you'd help me.

This is where I need you.

(tense music continues)

What is all of this?

(tense music continues)

My world.

(tense music continues)

With no crazy creatures coming out of the ground.

(tense music continues)

There's nothing to be afraid of.

This is just like your monster world, all Quadrant created.

It's just to help our crazy brains get better, remember?

Tell me what you want me to do.

(tense music continues)

Talk to her.

(tense music continues)

See if she hits you up for any money.

(tense music continues)

You looked like Dr. Jekyll.

That's what I was going for.

(tense music continues)

(dramatic music)

You're very attractive.

You shouldn't be out here all alone.

(dramatic music continues)

Erin,

don't go too far in.

Find your way back.

You know how to do it.

(dramatic music continues)

(tense music)

I know I don't have to ask you how you feel.

It always feels

great.

You weren't alone this time.

I didn't see anyone in Quadrant land I recognized.

Cut the shit.

I know these trips aren't your fears.

They're your personal fantasies.

Why'd you bring Robert along?

He's my little helper.

Here or just in Quadrant?

All the time.

Keep playing with a system like this

and there will be consequences.

You can't be threatening me, can you?

Because that would be beyond fucking stupid.

I know Quadrant has had a different effect

on your mental state than it has had on other patients.

You're playing with it.

Really dangerous to do, Erin.

And if you're bringing Robert along,

that could have an impact on his treatments,

and I cannot allow that.

How can you be so very sure about all this?

(uneasy music)

I just am.

(uneasy music continues)

How about

you stop wagging your moral finger at everybody

- and Harry? - Uh huh?

You should find yourself another partner.

Meg's the best.

You can trust her.

You trust her.

I'll pass.

(uneasy music continues)

She is very dangerous.

You need some help calming down?

You forget what I said would happen

if you tried that shit again?

You made your point clear.

But you need to remember your history too.

(uneasy music continues)

(dramatic music)

(person screaming)

[Robert] Harry.

This is a surprise.

I need to talk to you about something.

We have a standing session tomorrow.

If you still feel you need it.

I do.

And I'll be here.

But I need to talk to you now.

Come in.

Pick a spot.

Want a drink?

No, I'm fine, thanks.

I need your advice on something.

After the way you left here today,

I didn't think you valued my opinion very much.

Yeah, the way I acted was wrong.

I apologize.

Accepted.

Is that what you came here to say?

I've been thinking about Quadrant

and how it helped me

with my fears when nothing else could.

You said you were feeling great after the last session.

- Yeah, I know what I said. - And that

you didn't need it anymore.

I know what I said.

Wasn't your idea with Quadrant that

if you were tormented by memories,

maybe like your school bully,

that you could go into Quadrant and confront them,

kill them even,

and that you'd be free from those memories?

That's one way to put it, yes.

So the violence is built in.

I need to get this straight in my head.

If defeating your fear requires it,

but it's up to you to react

and respond in a way that feels best.

But if you have an enemy who's left a scarring memory

and you just feel like you need to talk to them about it,

Quadrant can make that happen too.

But you know all this.

You scolded me about the process a couple of hours ago.

In fact, you said you wanted to quit.

Yeah, I know.

I'm sorry.

But in my last Quadrant session,

I confronted those fears.

I fought them.

I killed them.

I watched them die in front of me.

I'm not a violent person, okay?

Like it's not my nature, but I did that.

Well maybe you needed to.

Remember, it's only an illusion.

It's a mental exercise, that's all.

What about somebody who gets lost in the violence?

Do you know anyone in Quadrant like that?

I have.

But you're referring to Erin.

She has an obsession with Jack the Ripper.

We all know that.

Did you, have you seen her place?

Magazines, books, stacked everywhere.

Shit's all over the walls.

I'm not surprised.

- But she's... - I can't discuss her case.

But Meg and I think we can help her.

She's lost in it, Harry.

She's told me that.

I've seen her after sessions.

But you haven't seen her commit the murders that I have.

She's thrilled by it.

In Quadrant, Robert.

The machine makes it seem real for a purpose.

What about afterwards?

Things that happened to me in Quadrant

happened right outside on the street.

You know, I used to hold onto some kind of steadiness,

some kind of reality.

And now it's all going away.

My world's more fucked up than the one before.

What is it that you think happened outside this office?

Erin,

did she do something?

I thought you were gonna help me.

I will, but you're gonna have to tell me

so I can treat you both.

Erin, did she hurt someone?

(tense music)

She butchered a girl.

[Harry] On the outside?

(tense music continues)

I think she might have hurt someone.

(tense music continues)

What are you saying?

I don't know.

I heard someone screaming.

It sounded like someone being killed.

I don't know.

Listen to me.

Don't go near her again

until this can be all figured out.

[Robert] She's expecting me tonight.

Don't.

(tense music continues)

Do you love her?

(tense music continues)

She's the first person to stand with me.

To be with me.

Look, man, I know exactly what that means.

I have been right where you were.

And my person was very dangerous

until Quadrant helped her get it all out.

Now she's great.

I wanna do the same thing with Erin.

No cops, no repercussions.

Just treatment.

You'll do that for her?

I will.

I'll do it for both of you.

(uneasy music)

[Robert] Are you here?

I thought I was gonna contact you about coming over.

[Robert] I, I can leave.

My partner in crime.

Stay.

(soft music)

You are not the shy boy anymore.

Thanks to you.

(dramatic music)

[Erin] How did it feel being with me?

It's wonderful.

I don't mean now.

When I was exploring Jack

and you helped me with that little slut?

I didn't know what you were gonna do.

Why not?

My entire world is about the Ripper and his crimes.

Why were you surprised when I cut her?

I haven't seen that side of you.

Newspapers,

magazines, photos, yeah, but

- not... - A knife.

I used it in your world and you were fine with it.

You joined me,

slaughtering your fears.

Yeah, but

that felt like we were fighting my demons.

- What you did was... - Murder?

Butchery?

Just Quadrant.

It wasn't real.

What if it was real?

Would you give me away?

Are you messing with me, because

I can tell there's something wrong, and...

My entire life, I've been focused on one thing.

I just took the next step, that's all.

You see killers on tv

and they talk about how natural it was for them

to finally do what they did.

So that next step was Quadrant?

The machine pushes me toward it.

So you can't help yourself, right?

That's sweet.

You're in love with me.

Ready to prove it?

Yeah, yeah,

yeah, I guess

- if you want me to. - I need you to.

You can gimme your car.

(uneasy music)

You can help me take out some trash.

I saw you with that girl.

Her whole life was leading to the moment I slashed her.

Best thing that could have happened.

She had a warrant in her pocket,

you should see the charges.

[Robert] Maybe that would help.

Nothing but trash.

She's in the bathtub.

Come on.

We'll do this together and come back here

so I can wear you out and watch you snore.

What, so you can be sure of me?

No, because I'm turned on by what we're about to do.

Can you carry her head?

That's me being a perverted asshole.

I'm screwing with you, babe.

I want you to spend the night

'cause I want you to spend the night.

(uneasy music)

Ugh.

You've been eavesdropping.

What's Robert got to say?

That's not what he says.

It's what Erin says.

When are you gonna call the cops on that bitch?

I'm not.

I told Robert no cops,

and that's the way it's gonna be.

Because you could help her?

I know I can.

Parade her around

like a your cured psychopath.

That makes us just as guilty.

What's changed?

We're already guilty.

Our little married secret.

Do you want drink a toast to it?

Do you wanna come at me with another broken bottle?

(dramatic music)

There's nothing to be afraid of, babe.

You did great tonight.

A year from now, someone will find her and bury her.

I know this is all new to you, but

a blade isn't a killing tool for God's sakes.

It's a way for us to be closer.

I'll teach you.

Swear.

(tense music)

This is just kid stuff.

Like we're the only ones allowed in the tree house.

(tense music continues)

Your friends when you were 10 weren't as cool as me.

I didn't have any friends.

That makes me extra special.

(tense music continues)

You turned this into a game.

I just want you to know it's not the end of the world.

(tense music continues)

Now we're bonded.

Nothing can ever split us apart,

and we'll never betray each other.

That's the blood oath.

(tense music continues)

I remember when this one would've bothered me.

Thanks, Harry.

(object crashing)

(suspenseful music)

(machinery whirring)

(tense music)

(Meg screaming)

(tense music continues)

(phone trilling)

Robert, wake up.

Someone's trying to reach you.

Or warn you.

(phone ringing)

Hello?

Okay.

Yes.

Yes.

Okay, I, I, I'm coming.

Whoever it was, they've been blowing up your phone

for the last 10 minutes.

It's Meg.

Does Meg wanna see you?

Where, her place?

At Quadrant.

I wonder what for,

a fuck session?

She said she needs to talk to me.

It's not session hours, babe.

And if she wants to talk that bad,

it must be pretty enormous, right?

I don't know.

But you're going.

So what have you told her?

Nothing.

What are you going to tell her?

Nothing.

Remember that.

And that we took an oath, right, baby?

(tense music)

Hey, hey, hey, hey.

It's me.

Sorry.

What the fuck happened?

I left her at the house.

The girlfriend went berserk.

I, I did exactly what Meg asked me to do.

You did.

And we found out just how much control she has.

Fucking everything.

How did she attack you?

She was with me the whole night.

Embracing Quadrant has allowed Erin

to put herself anywhere she wants to be,

physically.

Her (mumbles) session

now has shape and form.

It's like she can transport herself

and Quadrant made it happen.

Congratulate the inventor.

This is a side effect we hadn't considered.

What do you want me to do?

(tense music continues)

Go into your world

and invite her in.

[Robert] And then what, kill her?

Those things you conjure in your world

might just do it for you.

If you want her beside you, she'll be there.

But we don't know what will happen.

Except she can't go on.

And if nothing else,

this session might just bring her right through the door

and I'll put a bullet in her head.

Put a bullet in her head?

I guess you're helping is out the question.

Attacking my wife made me change my approach.

And this

would be helping her.

Robert, we are dancing between Quadrant and reality

and we don't know where Erin's going to exist.

If we can help her, we will.

But it's up to Erin,

Jack, as to what will happen.

(tense music)

Get him suited up.

It's a Christmas gift for you.

(tense music continues)

[Meg] She's maxing.

Then hurry the hell up.

(tense music continues)

(thunder crashing)

(tense music continues)

She's here!

She's gonna kill me!

Robert.

Robert, I know your world.

Find your safe place.

Take this.

Don't take any chances with her.

We created her,

so we'll stop her.

(rock music)

(thunder rolling) (rock music continues)

Erin, this isn't you!

It's a fantasy!

You're gonna die for betraying me.

Just the way you always wanted.

(Robert screaming) (dramatic music)

(dramatic music continues)

(haunting music)

Robert!

(sinister music)

(Harry knocking)

Erin?

(sinister music continues)

Erin?

(Henry knocking)

(sinister music continues)

Erin?

(sinister music continues)

Erin?

It's Harry.

I am just here to help.

You know.

Done it before.

(sinister music continues)

I don't think she's here.

Oh, Jesus.

I don't know how we're gonna explain all this, but

I think you're right.

We need to call the police.

(sinister music continues)

(dramatic music)

Meg, I know you're connecting.

You did a great job with Robert.

He faced his fears

and they slaughtered him.

You don't have to respond.

I can feel you receiving me.

You are not a coward like Bobby,

you're something else.

Come on.

Face me.

(sinister music)

(Meg gasping)

You have no idea what you're letting loose.

(dark music)

Wake up!

Open your eyes

or I will slice

the lids off.

This is fantasy land, Meg.

You're trying to get fucking over on me in fantasy land?

Except this is my fantasy land.

My

World.

This

is why Harry thought

he could do something with you

because he stripped all of this from my mind.

You're his next project.

You think you have done something

as Jack the Ripper?

You are nothing

compared

to what I used to be.

And still am.

(dramatic music)

You filthy cow.

You deserve to die.

(dramatic music)

You

fucking

bitch!

(dramatic ethereal music)

(devil growling)

(Meg gasping)

(dramatic ethereal music continues)

(ethereal music)

(tense music)
