Altered Perceptions (2023)

Post by bunniefuu »

My name is Alex, Alex

Feretti, although I

don't use that name anymore

because it indicates

some family lineage,

which, well, no one really

talks about these days anyway.

You could say I'm one

of the lucky ones,

but I'm not sure I'd agree.

I'm just a number now; no name,

no connections, no matter.

Not long ago, we

were all so hopeful.

Man, that seems like

a million years ago.

Looking back, it was

probably only two years ago.

I'm not sure.

No one keeps track

of that sh*t anymore.

It's just not important.

The irony is that we lost it

all in a matter of months.

And there was no nuclear

devastation, no global warming.

It was a w*r without a

w*r, without a single sh*t

being fired.

I beg of you.

Turn off that red light.

Get out of my TV.

Why are you here?

I swear to god I'll show

them what you look like.

Leave me alone.

I didn't say anything.

I won't tell anyone about it.

I'll be quiet, I promise.

We begin this evening

with remarkable news

coming in the Korean

Summit, which has been

ongoing for the past four days.

That's right.

Less than 30 minutes

ago, we received

the incredible news of the

supreme leader of North Korea,

Kim Jong Un, has signed an

agreement with 34 other nations

to end his tactical

m*ssile testing

and nuclear

proliferation, including

the making and use of

fissionable materials

and weapons technologies.

This is a stunning development

from the Korean peninsula

and significantly

impacts world peace.

Late last night, not only

did the Supreme leader agree

to immediately cease his pursuit

of nuclear w*apon capabilities,

he also indicated that he will

be sponsoring free elections

in North Korea early next year,

and he will open his borders so

that residents of the north

and south can travel freely.

The summit, which included five

Republican members of Congress

led by Texas

Senator Ted DeMarcos

has been in the making

for more than a year.

Although the leaders

of 33 other countries

participated in the summit...

Shh, don't speak his name.

They could be listening.

...our own Democratic president...

I'm watching.

I didn't say anything.

Get out of my TV

and show yourself.

Senator DeMarcos, who has had

some controversy in the past,

has been instrumental in

this peace initiative.

And today, there

is talk that he may

be a candidate for

the Nobel Peace

Prize based on his

accomplishments in Korea.

And others.

Kim Jong Un invited

the summit leaders...

I see you.

Senator DeMarcos, who has had

some controversy in the past,

has been instrumental in

this peace initiative.

And today, there is talk

that he may be a candidate...

...for the Nobel Peace Prize.

Senator DeMarcos, who has had

some controversy in the past,

has been instrumental in

this peace initiative.

Get out of my head.

And today, there is talk

that he may be a candidate...

...for the Nobel Peace Prize.

Senator DeMarcos, who has had

some controversy in the past...

There is no one here.

Just me.

And today, there

is talk that he may

be a candidate for

the Nobel Peace Prize.

The Nobel Peace Prize.

The Nobel Peace Prize.

The Nobel Peace Prize.

The Nobel Peace Prize.

Stop it.

Representatives of the

34 countries who signed...

Please stop bothering.

I swear to god I'll show

them what you look like.

One official said that

this is the year of peace.

Republicans decided

to pursue this...

Senator DeMarcos

stated, after seeing

the destruction of nuclear...

Leave me alone.

So it's unclear at the

point whether the treaty

would be binding unless

approved and ratified

by the full Congress.

We are also told that

the Korean leader,

in an unprecedented

show of goodwill,

dismantled the border

crossing into his country

and removed all m*llitary posts...

I won't tell anyone about it.

Get out of my head.

Get out.

I'm warning you.

Please, stop bothering me.

That the representatives

of each of the 34 countries

who signed the peace accord

are being given peace lilies

to bring to their

respective countries

in a symbolic gesture

of lasting peace.

It's unclear how or

when the president

will review the peace accord.

The US delegation has

indicated that they

intend to present the initiative

to Congress immediately

upon their return

to the US, perhaps

bypassing the president.

Senator DeMarcos, who has had

some controversy in the past,

has been instrumental in

this peace initiative.

And today, there is talk

that he may be a candidate...

I won't say anything, I promise.

You keep them out of it.

Seriously, I mean it.

Keep them out of this.

Everyone, I suppose it's

time for the obligatory toast

from the host.

Yeah.

Thank you, thank you.

First of all, I just want

to sincerely thank you

all for coming out

tonight to help celebrate

the 10-year anniversary

of my father, Joseph,

and his husband, Peter.

Also, not to turn this thing

into a political cause.

I just want to thank my boss.

Senator Ted DeMarcos is here.

He took time out of his

very busy campaign schedule

to attend tonight.

Don't forget.

Early voting starts in

weeks, so get out there

and reelect me, OK?

That's my boss.

All right.

Always campaigning.

But getting back to my toast.

My dad and Peter have

been together officially

for 18 years and married

for 10, and they continue

to be very much in love.

They inspire me

every day, and I feel

so fortunate to get to be

so close to both of them.

Peter, you know,

when you and my dad

first got together,

how hard it was

for me to wrap my head around?

But I've come to love

you, and I really

appreciate the joy and

happiness that you've

brought into my dad's life.

Thank you for everything you do

and for bringing my dad and me

closer together.

Growing up, my dad

was known as one

of the hardest working

neurologists in Texas

and well-known and respected

across the country.

But because of that, he

didn't have a lot of time

for me or my sister and mom.

I had to come to terms

with that at an early age,

and at times, I felt

like I'd lost him.

But when you met Peter,

dad, things changed.

You still worked

like a madman, but we

became closer because of Peter.

I don't know how the hell

you do all that you do,

but I respect you, and I

love you with all my heart.

To two people who are

very much in love;

my dad, one of the best

neurologists in the world...

Whoo!

Yeah!

...and Peter, who I also consider

my dad, a distinguished author

and a man who completes him.

Cheers.

Cheers.

Cheers.

Cheers.

Cheers.

Come on, who wants

to see a real kiss?

Come on.

Yeah.

Stand up.

Stand up.

Stand up.

Stand up.

Stand up.

Stand up.

Stand up.

Come here.

Yeah.

Whoo!

Enjoy your meal.

Thank you, everybody.

Hey, Alex, get in here.

Oh.

It's got to be

like 10 years ago.

Get in here.

Come on.

Get over here.

Yeah.

Yeah.

You do the honors.

All right.

Grab it.

There you go.

1, 2, 3.

Yeah.

Thank you, everyone.

Thank you.

Thank you.

Thank you too.

I guess congratulations

are in order.

Thank you, senator.

I was hoping you and I

might have a little chat

this evening.

It's one of the reasons

I agreed to come

when Alex told about the party.

Alex is a fine young man.

Well, he's been an

exceptional lad.

I'll get right to the point.

There's been a lot of chatter

about these sickos who

were k*lling themselves and

others in record numbers.

Now, I'm hearing some of

you neurology fellows are

looking to find some answers.

Well, Senator, can we

not call them sickos, OK?

Yeah, there's been a

neurological, biological link

in that.

I'm not really at liberty

to talk about that,

and I don't think my anniversary

party is really the venue.

You're right.

To be honest, I'm

not here really

to celebrate your anniversary.

You know how I feel about

h*m* marriages.

I'm here because I like Alex.

He's doing a bang-up job

on my re-election campaign.

Well, I was hoping

you and I might

have a chance to speak, well,

despite our differences.

Senator, we're both very

aware of your critical views

on gay marriage...

I want to let you know I've

reached out to the governor

for funding to head up a task

force to investigate why we're

seeing this increase

in murders and suicides

in our great state.

Word has it it's

happening mostly

in the h*m* or in

the Black communities

and is linked to the

COVID vaccine, which

you know I vigorously

opposed from the onset.

That's absolutely.

Alex had wanted me to include

you in this task force,

but for obvious reasons,

I'm not able to do that.

I would, however, like

to pick your brain

before deciding on next steps.

Perhaps we could

schedule some time

to get together and

compare notes so we

can get to the bottom of it.

You know what I mean.

You're both h*m*

and men who's

got some mixed Black blood

just like the president.

So it would not be appropriate,

given the information

my office has, that this

may be predominantly

a h*m*, Black

vaccine thing.

Senator, I think it's

time for you to leave.

Don't worry.

I'm on my way out.

I just wanted to

give you the courtesy

of letting you know

I've reached out

to some of your colleagues to

be a part of this task force.

Just look at the statistics

that are rolling in.

Black on Black and Black on

white crime is at an all-time

high...

Getting worse.

And now we're seeing this

increase in h*m* crimes

and suicides.

The numbers are looking

more and more grim each day.

Senator, I don't

know where you're

getting that information from.

I'm already on the

presidential task force.

Despite our

differences in opinion,

I did solve the Korean

peninsula problem,

so solving this should be a

piece of cake for my team.

I just hope you don't

feel too left out

when we figure this thing out.

Don't forget to vote.

You really should have a drink.

Why do you f*cking

stand that guy?

God damn it.

Come here.

Come here.

Come here.

Come here.

Come on.

I love you.

Get the f*ck away from my car.

What the f*ck, man?

How the hell did

you get in here?

And why are you naked?

What do you want?

You want money?

Is that...

I just need to talk with you

for a couple of minutes, Alex.

It's a matter of life and death.

Do I know you?

No, my name is Gary Becker.

I need just five minutes.

It's about the senator

and what's going on.

So make an appointment

at my office, OK?

I don't have time

for this right now.

It's late.

Please, it can't wait.

OK, what's this about?

And why are you naked in

the middle of a parking lot?

I need you to set up a

meeting between you, me,

and Senator DeMarcos.

God.

OK, yeah, I figured it

was something like that.

Get out.

You can make an

appointment at my office

just like everyone else does.

Get out.

Let me explain.

I have information that

Senator DeMarcos is

about to introduce some

dangerous legislation tomorrow,

and I need you to help

me to dissuade him.

OK, and just how did

you happen to come

across this confidential

information?

And how the f*ck are

you using my voice?

That's not important.

I can't get in to see

your senator without you.

I know you will find

this hard to believe,

but this legislation

he's about to propose

will ultimately be catastrophic

and lead to the almost

total devastation of life.

OK.

Wow, what a load of bullshit.

I've heard enough, OK?

Now get out of my car and

put some f*cking clothes on.

Listen to me.

I've been sent here

in desperation,

and I need you to hear me out.

You can't trust DeMarcos.

He's lying to everyone.

What the f*ck is

happening to me?

I think Alex did an

amazing job tonight

despite that dipshit

DeMarcos, don't you think?

Yeah.

Yeah.

Seem a little preoccupied.

Is everything OK?

Sorry, honey.

My mind's on 1,000

things right now.

Yeah?

Oh, whoopsie.

I'm naked.

Oh, yeah.

Oh, yeah.

Come on, you know that tickles.

Stop it.

Oh, man, you're k*lling me.

Excuse me, sir.

Do you know the

way to Elm Street?

No, I'm sorry.

I'm lost myself.

I'm just trying to find my.

Oh.

Hey, hey, you're lost and you're

trying to find your way home?

I can help you

find your way home.

I'm OK.

I'm sorry I couldn't

help you find Elm Street.

Do you believe Jesus Christ

is our Lord and Savior?

I'm going to say good night.

Wait, wait.

The blood of Christ compels me.

The blood of Christ compel...

Christ compels me.

The blood of Christ compels me.

The blood of Christ compels me.

The Lord is my shepherd.

I shall not want.

He maketh me to lie

down in green pastures.

He restoreth my soul.

Our father, who art

in heaven, hallowed

be thy name, thy

Kingdom come, thy

will be done on Earth

as it is in heaven.

Give us this day our daily bread

and forgive us our trespasses

as we forgive those who

trespass against us.

Though I walk through the...

Thy Kingdom come,

thy will be done,

as it is on Earth

as it is in heaven.

We begin today

with breaking news.

The virus seems to be making

people uncontrollably violent.

Due to the violent nature

of the ones infected,

the virus is spreading rapidly.

Government officials

are reporting that there

is no known cure for the virus.

When asked, a White

House spokesman

declined to comment

on whether or not

this was a t*rror1st att*ck.

Hi, this is Daniel McPherson

from XTRA News telling you

that I'm about to

say goodbye to you.

This is my final broadcast.

But before I leave you

after all these many years,

I want to thank you and

let you know we're going

to leave you with a big bang.

Get your friends and your family

in front of the television

set because we're going to

blow the competition away

with what you're about to see.

So again, thank you so much

for years of loyal watching.

This is Daniel

McPherson saying goodbye

and have a pleasant,

pleasant rest of your life.

Digital mapping

of the human brain

conclusively shows us

that the brain consists

of hundreds of

billions of neurons

that form a network of

exceptional complexity.

Unfortunately, we

have to admit we still

know little about

these connections

and interconnections.

And we've all heard

the horrible news

that suicides and

homicides and mass murders

continue to spread due to

some unidentified dysfunction.

My guest this evening

compares the complexity

of the human brain to

the universe at large.

In fact, he says that

there are probably

as many stars in our

galaxy as there are neurons

in our brains, billions.

Did you count those

yourself, Joe?

My guest says that the

incredibly complex network

of matter in the

universe can be compared

to the complex network formed

between our brain cells,

which are also wired to

hundreds of thousands

of other neurons,

which is packed

into that 3-pound organ

inside our skulls,

making it the most incredibly

complex object in the universe.

And it's been sitting on top of

our shoulders this entire time.

My guest has evidence to

support a neurological link

to these behaviors.

He's an integral part of

the presidential commission

that has been chosen

to study this issue.

Here to hopefully

help us understand

these brain complexities and

our behaviors a little better

is the chief scientific officer,

distinguished neurologist,

and director of the Texas

Neuromind Institute, Dr. Joseph

Feretti.

Thank you, David.

For the past 3,000

years or so, we've

been trying to better understand

the mind-body connection,

and so far, we've been

pretty limited in our ability

to answer many of the questions

and problems that plague us.

We have clinical science,

neurology, advanced imaging,

and other technologies.

And how do we better understand

the mind-body connection

and health and sickness

and schizophrenia,

bipolar mania, delusional

disorders and complexities,

and pathologies of the brain?

How do we explain human

behavior with respect

to brain functioning as we're

currently experiencing it?

As David just alluded to,

and as we're all aware,

there's a great concern

about the increased

problematic behaviors,

including significant increases

in mass killings and suicides

and neuropsychological issues

that we can't fully

wrap our heads around.

Our current research

does indicate

that this is a neurological

etiology that looks

like some form of dementia.

But it's much, much

more than that.

And as we know from our studies

of certain mental illnesses

such as Alzheimer's,

Parkinson's, Lewy body diseas,

and brain trauma,

that these all involve

various complicated

structural wiring problems.

And so in order to

help people ultimately,

we need to better understand

the wiring and the miswiring

of the brain through the study

of individual nerve cells

and the physics of the brain.

My colleagues and I are

attempting to better understand

how our functioning arises out

of the physics of the brain

by actually looking

at the stuff that

exudes mind and reality,

those 100 billion nerve cells,

how they interact.

And that includes

better understanding

of our conscious and

subconscious minds.

When we have better

understanding of that,

then we can better predict

human behavior and what drives

us to do the things that we do.

Although our research

has a long way to go,

we do have significant data.

Some of our research

is preliminary

and some cases

are controversial.

Simply put, we have a long

way to go to understand

brain functioning.

How do you, sir, explain love?

Is there a difference

between love between a man

and a woman, a man and a man,

say, a woman and a woman?

How does the brain

distinguish love

we have for our spouses and the

love we have for our parents

or children, siblings?

And how does the brain

influence the body

in health and sickness?

How do we explain neglect

syndromes, temporal lobe

dysfunction, or the current

dimension-like behaviors

we're now witnessing?

And why do we hate?

Why do we cry?

Why does that dream we

had seem so realistic?

Why is a joke funny to some

people but not all people?

Why do we enjoy some

art and music but not

all art and music?

What is consciousness

or free will?

What is reality?

What's real life?

Are our brain's chemical

perceptions of it?

Your eyes see and your

brain chemistry reacts,

and this becomes your reality.

Is everyone's reality the same?

Is my reality the

same as your reality?

Our current

investigations indicate

that some of the

patients we're seeing

are experiencing

altered perceptions,

but we can't explain

why this is happening.

What's causing them to

suddenly forget family members

and to seemingly live

in an altered reality?

What's causing the atrophy

and accelerated aging

that we're seeing

in these brains?

And how do we treat

this seemingly defective

visual processing integration?

OK, everything looks good.

I think we're good to go.

Unbelievable amount of atrophy.

It's much more advanced

than I anticipated,

but at least we've

stopped the bleeding.

Do you want me to give

the bad news to his wife?

That's OK.

I'm starting to get used to

delivering bad news these days.

But thanks for offering.

Would you like to do the

honors and close him up?

Sure.

Oh, what happened, Michael?

Are you OK?

No, I dropped the suture needle.

No harm done.

Maybe you could

close them up, pal.

I'm not up to it this morning.

OK.

Where the hell am I?

You're in the

hospital, Mr. Cooper,

but you're going to be fine.

You've had surgery.

Surgery?

What the hell happened to me?

He finally woke up, doc.

I'm going to go notify his wife.

OK.

All right, Mr. Cooper,

how are you feeling?

Hi, doc.

Oh, I have such a headache.

That is extremely normal

for the circumstances.

Do you know what today is?

No.

Hi, I'm here to see Dr. Feretti.

My name is Theresa Morgan.

OK, I'll let him know.

You can just go ahead and

have a seat over there.

Hello, I'm Dr. Joseph Feretti.

Oh, hello.

What can I do for

you, Mrs. Morgan?

It's just my husband.

I think he's going crazy.

Mr. Cooper, I'm Dr. Han.

Glad to see you're awake.

Your wife is waiting to...

Cut the crap, doc.

Tell me what's going on.

Why did you operate on me?

I did not give you

permission to cut me open.

Allow me to explain.

Your wife gave us permission

to perform emergency surgery.

After you fell,

you hit your head,

and you had a brain bleed.

The surgery went well,

but we found that...

She had no g*dd*mn

right to do that.

Well, like I said,

it was an emergency.

We managed to stop

the bleeding, but we

did find a significant amount

of atrophy or shrinkage

of your brain that

is worrying us.

I got to get out of here, man.

I am fine.

Get this intravenous

stuff off me.

No, no, you're not

fine, Mr. Cooper.

Mr. Cooper, it

would be dangerous

for you to get up right now.

Look, I don't care what

any of you are saying.

I'm getting the

f*ck out of here.

Oh, my god.

Why don't you get him

Mr. Cooper's wife please.

Please.

Thank you.

Oh, I didn't know I

was hurt this bad.

I didn't know I

was hurt this bad.

Oh, my head.

Oh, man.

I didn't know I was this hurt.

Oh, god.

Why don't you get Mr.

Cooper's wife, please?

I will.

So where's your husband?

He refused to come.

I'm so worried about him.

Well, he's going to have to

agree to come in and see me

if I'm going to evaluate him.

I know.

I'm just afraid that

he would be a danger.

How so?

He's been looking

at me so funny.

It's like he's not

the same man anymore.

It's like he's a

completely different man.

He's changed so much

in the last two weeks.

Changed how?

He's not thinking right.

He tells me that

I'm not his wife,

and he doesn't

recognize her children.

He's still going to have to come

in and see me in order for me

to evaluate him.

And to be honest, there's a

lot of these disturbing types

of behaviors

happening these days,

and I'd really like to

do an MRI on his brain.

Yeah.

Yeah.

I know.

I told him it was an important

appointment 100 times,

and he said that he would come.

And then this morning he said,

hell no, and he spoke to me...

He was so cruel.

What made him change his mind?

I don't know.

He said it was

something important that

had to be done right away.

Oh, doctor, last week he tried

to go to work at this place

that he worked at

five years ago.

And he got into a

fight with them,

and they called the police,

and they almost arrested him.

He doesn't work there anymore?

No, doctor.

They fired him five years

ago, but last week he

was convinced that

he still worked there

without any reason.

Hey, baby, are you

looking for a good time?

Maybe.

What do you like it to be?

How old are you?

Old enough.

Really?

I'm 22.

What's your name?

Sugar.

As in, Brown Sugar.

Well, I just want you

to know I do everything.

And what does that exactly mean?

Exactly what I just said.

What's your fantasy, huh?

I want you to be my sex doll.

Let's go.

How much?

50 bucks gets you a

blow job, and 100 I'll

take you around the world.

I'll tell you what, I'll pull up

in the motel around the corner.

Follow me there.

Then come up to my room once

you see what room I got.

The door will be open.

I need you to do something

for me, Brown Sugar.

I can do anything, as

long as you pay me.

Oh, sh*t.

Oh, my god.

Oh, my god.

Oh, f*ck.

The body of a man

was found in a motel

with a severed head of

a prost*tute tucked away

between her legs.

The prost*tute,

known as Brown Sugar,

did not know the suspect.

The body was discovered

when neighbors reported

loud television

playing p*rn

throughout the night from

the suspect's motel room.

Homicide detectives are

also reporting the suspect

may have had sex

with the victim's

severed head on many

occasions during the night

before k*lling himself.

Multiple traces of

semen were found

in and around the

victim's severed head.

Several prostitutes

from the area

alleged the suspect had

a sex addiction problem

as he always played p*rn and

played with a blow-up doll

before reportedly

having sex with them.

As part of his

routine, the man would

have sex workers wear a wig to

resemble the blow-up doll he

frequently carried around during

his sessions with these women.

The man's distraught

wife, an older lady

by the name of

Theresa Morgan, says

she had no idea of her

husband's proclivities.

The man may have been suffering

from the virus at the time

the crime was committed.

Police are investigating.

We are back to the studio

for more breaking news.

As we mentioned

earlier, we are going

to go live now to

Tallahassee, Florida

where the governor is expected

to deliver some major news.

I want to thank everyone

for coming today.

We won't be fielding

any questions.

But we do have some important

news to provide to you all.

As you're all

aware, we are indeed

living in troubling times.

Murders and suicides and other

criminal activity are rampant.

The news is grim.

But we've come to some

comprehensive conclusions

based on the data of our

fact-finding commission.

Now most of the

suicides and murders

that we have knowledge

of have been perpetrated

by people who have

been given the COVID-19

vaccine and the booster.

If you recall, I warned

people repeatedly

about the effects

of the vaccine,

and I begged people

not to get the vaccine.

But the president and

his fellow Democrats

insisted that everyone should be

vaccinated, which I vigorously

opposed, as did Senator

DeMarcos and hundreds

of my fellow Republicans.

And now...

We're seeing the devastation

that the injections are having

on the public, especially

in the h*m* and Black

communities.

Why those communities?

Our team has identified

similar brain structures

in both h*m*

and Blacks, structures

that are different from

those of normal Americans.

These people are particularly

susceptible to the effects

of the vaccines because of

these structural irregularities

and anomalies.

The vaccines are causing

significant atrophying

of the frontal and

temporal lobes.

So for lack of a

better term, we are

designating the term Atrophieds

to identify these people.

Now, as you all know, the

states of Florida and Texas

have been particularly

hit by these Atrophieds.

So we set out to form

multiple committees

for our comprehensive study

to inform us so that we can

make specific recommendations.

I'm going to turn it over to

Senator Ted DeMarcos of Texas

who will give you the

specifics of what we'll

be doing in the next phase.

Senator.

Thank you, governor.

To ensure the continued

safety of our citizens,

our select committee of

various medical researchers

and specialists have

made recommendations

which we will coordinate

throughout the states of Texas

and Florida.

Other states will

likely follow our lead

in the coming days and weeks.

We have opened up over

200 medical facilities

where we intend to

treat those Atrophieds.

The location of those facilities

will be provided later today.

To those of you who are at high

risk, h*m* and Blacks,

who have had either the

COVID-19 vaccine or boosters,

we are asking that

you voluntarily

come to these treatment

facilities, OK?

Thank you all very

much for coming.

It's time to take action, Alex.

Things have reached

a critical stage now.

You don't think I'm buying

this "I'm from the future"

crap, do you?

It doesn't really

matter what you believe.

It's what you do

that really matters.

OK, why don't you

just cut to the chase

and tell me what

your real agenda is?

Listen to me.

If we can't stop

these happenings,

more than half the planet will

be dead in less than two years.

That's nearly five

billion people.

I can help change that outcome,

but we have to act now.

Believe what you want, but

these neurological events

will destroy the world.

And what Senator

DeMarcos is doing

is just the start of an

unnecessary annihilation

of innocent people.

What the f*ck do you

expect me to do about it?

Look, the senator's

got his own agenda.

I don't always agree with

it, but this is my job.

We chose you for

two reasons, Alex.

One of them being

that you can help us

by working from the inside

in the senator's office

to stop this madness.

The other is that, based

on our contact tracing,

your dad may be a key

to resolving this.

No, I can't do anything.

Find someone else to deal

with this crazy sh*t.

Your dad may be a key

to resolving this,

but we need to keep him safe.

He's in danger.

Danger?

What kind of danger?

There are a lot of bad

actors involved here.

Can you persuade him to

leave Texas for a while?

Tell your dad to go

to Boston and meet

with Dr. Paul Horn at Boston.

Based on our

analysis, he can help.

I can't talk to

my dad about this.

He won't listen to me, OK?

He never does.

And besides... what the f*ck?

Find a way, Alex.

Alex.

Hey, it's 3:00 in the morning.

What's wrong?

Yeah.

Yeah.

I'll be there, all right.

Bye.

One macchiato, one

double espresso.

Thanks.

Lord knows I need it.

Listen, man.

I love you, kid, but the

1 o'clock in the morning

practical jokes to

pitch my next novel,

you got to cut

that sh*t out, man.

No, Peter, I'm not joking.

Seriously, I'm not

f*cking around.

Look, just please believe me.

Look, I didn't sleep

at all last night.

Just start from beginning, OK?

I'm sorry.

I'm sorry.

It's OK.

Just listen.

What's going on?

I think dad might be in danger.

Wait, wait, wait, wait.

Joseph's in danger?

Somebody contacted

me and said that...

Who?

I don't know.

An anonymous person, OK?

Hold on a second.

You're f*cking scaring me.

What are you f*cking

talking about?

I'm scared.

Somebody who knows things

that they shouldn't know.

I don't know how they

would know these things.

Alex, you're scaring me.

What is going on?

I don't... It's all...

It's so crazy.

I don't... I don't

know what's going on.

I just know that dad

might be in trouble,

and we need to get

him out of town, OK?

Like out of Texas.

Wait, wait, wait, wait, wait.

I am... please, try to

explain this to me.

I think my boss might

be behind this somehow.

DeMarcos?

Yeah.

What...

I don't trust him.

Who the f*ck does?

Yeah, I know.

Sorry, sorry, sorry.

No, no.

I know he's an assh*le, but

I really don't trust him.

I think something bad

is about to happen,

and dad is somehow

connected to it all.

He's in the middle.

It's because of his

work and the virus.

I'm worried they're

going to come after him.

It doesn't make any sense.

Look, I feel like

I'm losing my mind.

Just trust me, OK?

I trust you.

Of course, I trust you.

This man.

Who?

He goes by Gary.

Who the f*ck is Gary?

I have no idea.

He claims he's from the future,

which, I know, sounds insane.

But listen, Peter.

He knows things.

He knows things he should not

know about me, personal sh*t,

and about you and dad.

And he said that DeMarcos is...

DeMarcos is going to do

something really bad,

and somehow dad's involved.

He's in the middle of

it because of his work,

because of the virus.

Hey, come on, come on, come on.

Give me your hand.

Give me your hand.

Don't worry about it, OK?

Just keep it

together, all right?

I love you.

We'll get through this.

OK.

I don't understand

it, but I just...

Just in case, can you

please take dad on a trip

and just get out of Texas

for a week, maybe two?

Whatever you want.

Just tell us what to do, and

I'll make sure it happens, OK?

Thank you.

You're welcome.

Just let's see what happens, OK?

Just in case.

Yeah.

Do you believe me?

I mean, if anyone's going to

f*cking believe you, it's me.

I hope I'm wrong.

Maybe it's nothing.

But just in case.

Hey, hey, hey, hey.

Look at me.

I love you, OK?

I love you too.

Oh, John, thank god you're OK.

I have been waiting and praying.

Oh, I was so worried

after the operation

when they said that they

found the bleeding in the back

of your head, and I just...

Who the hell are you?

What?

What do you mean, who am I?

Just what I asked.

Who the hell are you?

Mr. Cooper, this is

your wife, isn't it?

Doc, I don't know what

kind of cruel joke

you're trying to play,

but I would never

marry an old lady like this.

John, what are you saying?

Of course, I'm your wife.

Why doesn't he recognize me?

What's happened to him?

Doc, I don't know

what's going on here,

but I would never

marry this old hag.

So you need to shut the f*ck up

and get the f*ck out of here.

John, what are you saying?

We've been married

over 30 years.

That's kind of impossible

because I'm 33 years old,

lady, which means you would

have walked me down the aisle,

if I could walk, at three.

Listen...

Get the f*ck out of here

and shut the f*ck up.

Mr. Cooper, your chart

says you're 67 years old.

What are you guys,

stand-up comedy?

You got the wrong chart

and the wrong patient,

and probably the wrong

operation on the wrong brain.

Boy, I'm seeing a lot

of money in my future

from my future lawsuit.

Thank you very much.

Oh, man.

And on that note, you know what?

I'm done here.

No, Mr. Cooper, please.

Mr. Cooper.

Don't push me.

Don't.

You just stand back.

Mr. Cooper, no.

Oh, my god.

Well, I told her to

shut the f*ck up.

She should have listened to me.

Hey, Reyes, we got to move.

All right, give me a minute.

What's going on there?

So strange.

Two 787 collided

mid-air in Paris.

What?

How?

When?

How about two hours ago?

A lot of casualties,

they're saying.

They say how it happened?

t*rrorists.

No, no, no, no.

That's the strange thing.

They're saying one of the

pilots went off-course and then

intentionally targeted

the other plane.

Wow, that's f*cked up.

Anyways, we have our

own mess to clean up.

Really?

What's going on?

A patient went all

psycho at Boston General.

He pushed his wife out

a fifth story window.

Now, that is f*cked up.

Hey, but I guess it's better

than working that other one

on the east side, the one

that Madison and Hogan got.

What happened?

You don't know?

No.

Vet torched his own

animal hospital.

Three people dead, and over

100 animals burnt to a crisp.

He threw gasoline over

all of their cages.

They didn't

even get a chance to escape.

Why would a vet do something

like that to his own animals?

Exactly.

The guy who did it

said that he heard

a voice that was telling him

he needed to free the animals.

Right.

I guess that meant he was

going to barbecue them.

Well.

Anyway, any motivations on

our hospital psycho patient?

Funny you should ask.

The nurse said the wife

walks into the room.

The husband told the

doctor, that is not my wife,

pushes her out the window.

End of story.

The old me.

Yeah.

Hold on, you two.

OK.

Change of plans.

What's going on.

We're just on our

way to the hospital.

Patients...

That's going to have to wait.

We got a mess on our hands.

An elderly man walks into

a fast food restaurant

with a machete and slices and

dices everyone in the joint.

We got at least 10

dead, maybe more.

Old man got away, but

there's a blood trail.

We need you two on this.

That is a fantastic way

to end the f*cking week.

I agree.

I agree.

Come on.

OK, folks, good morning.

Let's get this meeting started.

This is Dr. Linda

Stewart at CDCE, Austin.

Good morning,

Kendra, Dr. Stewart.

It's Joseph Feretti

here in Austin, Texas.

Go ahead.

Good morning, Dr. Feretti.

I understand you have some

updated information for us.

That's correct.

So my team and I have been

hard at work gathering

all the additional data,

and I assume you've all

had a chance to review it.

Yes.

Yes.

All right.

As you've no doubt seen,

these are some extremely grim

statistics.

I've been working closely

with a group of neurologists

and neuropsychologists

and trying

to get to the bottom

of this thing,

but we're still more or

less in the dark over here.

This does, however, appear

to be a neurological issue.

The latest data and

research we have,

it's making it pretty

clear this is a widespread

and rapidly spreading

condition, and we don't

know how it's being spread.

Well, but if I understand you

from our last conversation,

you said that this

was akin to dementia.

So how can a dementia condition

be so easily contracted

and transmissible?

That's a really good question.

Most of the recent

MRIs are looking

very similar to most of the

other MRIs of the deceased

that we've already looked at.

There are sections of the

frontal and temporal lobes

bilaterally that show

back anteriorism.

There's also notable

subretinal spaces

that we just can't explain.

Then tell us what

you do know, doctor.

These behaviors are

akin to something

we might find in patients with

dementia and Korsakoff disease,

and it's more to it than that.

There's also been

unfounded rumors

that this is a disease

targeting the LGBTQ community

and African-Americans.

Let me be absolutely

crystal clear

that this is not the case.

Our studies show that those

who have contracted this

have been senior citizens

over the age of 65.

And I'm trying to avoid

pure speculation here,

but there's an interesting

factor that might be important.

Go on, Joe.

All the data reporting

I've seen thus far

indicates that

this has something

to do with the way the brain's

altering people's perceptions.

Whatever is causing

this is changing the way

the brain perceives the world.

Now, I've looked over

hundreds of interviews

with families of patients

who become gravely

ill with this thing,

and they're all

saying the same kinds of things,

that their brains are telling

them the world's a hostile

and dangerous place

that they got to rid the

dangers through either

having to k*ll themselves

or they're k*lling others.

It's some kind of fight or

flight response initiated

in the frontal temporal

region of the brain,

and it's like the

reptilian mind takes over

and their impulses

can't be controlled.

So how is this

transmittable, Joe?

Look, I'm just giving

you a basic hypothesis

based on the current trends.

We're all working day and night

on the presidential task force

and just hoping some

additional bright minds are

going to come along and

help us decipher this.

Until then, we're meeting

tomorrow at the White House.

All right, thank you so much.

Godspeed.

Thank you.

Paul, may I speak to you?

I can't right now.

I'm slammed this morning.

I need to tell you something

before it's too late.

There's something wrong.

Can we talk about

this later, Michael?

Maybe grab some time

over lunch or something?

I'm trying to get

this off my chest.

I can't sleep or eat.

I'm sick, Paul.

I have the disease.

I looked at myself in

the mirror this morning,

and there's this monster

staring back at me.

I noticed it last week.

OK, well, let's get

some scans done and see.

I'm sorry, Paul.

I have his cell phone an

office phone monitored,

so we know exactly

who he's talking to

and what he's saying.

Jesus Christ, we need

him off the grid now.

It's becoming a real headache.

We're working on

it, but it's going

to take a couple more days.

Gentlemen, we've got new

orders effective today.

Yeah?

What are they?

Operation, let's

say, New Beginning.

This one won't be easy, though.

They never are.

We're going to have to use

our special social media

followings for this.

It's going to go down like the

January 6 Insurrection in DC.

Just a lot more firepower.

That's all we are, J.

Every man and woman in both

chambers over the age of 60

are to be eliminated.

No exceptions.

Holy sh*t.

This is going to make January

6 look like a beauty pageant.

So what's our start date?

One week from today.

I'll have to get the campaigns

up and loaded this evening.

Yep, it'll be chaos

from here on out.

The key to success is surprise

and total elimination, OK?

We'll need to prepare a list

of targets over the age of 60.

If anyone gets in the way,

eliminate them as well.

That's coming from the top?

From number one.

Let's get the show on the road.

NewsRight says it's still

too early to call, senator.

News sources calling it

dead-even with 90% in.

Bullshit.

Somebody get Sean Harrington

to call this thing in my favor.

Tell him if he

doesn't do it now,

he can forget about interviewing

me from here on out.

Local reporting says Winters

has a slight edge, senator.

They're saying something

about a sh**ting in Amarillo.

A gunman k*lled 13 people

standing in line to vote.

The gunman told the police

he wanted to stop the voting.

I hope these sons of b*tches

are all f*cking Democrats.

They're saying an

elderly Black male

went to the polling station

around 6:00 with an AK-47

and began sh**ting

at people randomly.

He was shouting

at voters in line

that you had already

won the election

and they needed to go home.

When they didn't

leave, he opened fire.

Well, that's the best

f*cking news you can give me.

A bunch of dead

f*cking Democrats.

Alex, turn that sh*t off.

I don't need to hear about

some f*cking nutjob sh**ting

a bunch of Democrats.

Tonight is a night

of celebration,

not an invitation for

g*n control debate

by the liberal ass f*ckers.

Now get on the phones and get

me some f*cking good news.

See if we can find some more

gunmen sh**ting the f*cking

Democrats.

Maybe he did us a huge favor.

99% of the vote is in,

and DeMarcos is out.

Son of a bitch actually lost.

Texas is actually

going to go blue, huh?

I guess there was a lot

more people than we thought

who wanted him out, huh?

Do you know what I think?

I think you should come

home early so we can

celebrate with our clothes off.

Oh, I like that.

But we're still going to live

through two more months of him

in office, and he ain't

going to go quietly.

Yeah.

We should probably give Alex

a call, see how he's doing.

Well, he's going to

be out of a job soon.

Yeah, for the best.

Yeah.

Wow.

Yes.

My fellow Texans and good

Americans, this morning,

many of you woke to

hear the disturbing news

by the liberal news media that

I had lost the US Senate race.

Let me tell you, nothing could

be further from the truth.

I've been meeting with Governor

Brown and Texas State Attorney

General Bob Moss to discuss

recent evidence of voter fraud

and inaccuracies in

vote counting that have

been brought to our attention.

As of noon today, Governor

Brown and Attorney General Moss

are declaring a

state of emergency

for the state of Texas so that

we may review those findings

and arrest those responsible for

these most heinous of crimes,

these treasonous crimes

that have violated

the will of the people of this

great state in a free election

process.

I'm also directing, with

the support of the attorney

general, that my

opponent Leslie Winters

be arrested as part

of this conspiracy

to defraud the voters.

Also, as of noon

today, the governor,

through executive order, myself

and the attorney general,

are directing the National Guard

to seize all voting machines

within all precincts

throughout Texas

to be delivered to the attorney

general's office warehouse

for processing.

Now, I'm going to

turn the mic over now

to the attorney

general so that he

may discuss other remedies that

we are enacting immediately.

Attorney General Moss.

Thank you, senator.

We are asking the

Texas legislature

to meet today in an

emergency session

to deal with the

following issues.

First, we have

substantial evidence

that many Black and h*m*

voters who have been designated

with neurologically unwell

and not of sound mind,

those we refer to

as Atrophieds, have

voted two to three different

times at different polling

locations as directed by

Democrat insurgency groups.

Once these Atrophieds

are found, they

will be arrested and relocated

to the various camps.

Martial law will be

enacted in all counties

in the state of

Texas, and a curfew

will be implemented from

sundown to sunrise effective

this evening.

We are asking that

all Texas residents

who are h*m* or Black and

who have received the COVID-19

vaccination and/or booster

to voluntarily report

to the treatment

centers which will

be provided at the end

of this press conference.

Those who do not

voluntarily comply

will be forcefully detained and

taken to the treatment centers

for processing.

It was never a question of,

would this dementia pandemic

reach our state?

It was only a matter of

when it got out of hand.

And well, folks, we are there,

and we must stop the spread.

This neurological epidemic

doesn't spread on its own.

h*m* and Blacks who have

been vaccinated with the COVID

vaccine, they spread it,

not regular Americans.

It is critical that we stop the

cross-contamination immediately

because it has

affected our ability

to engage in the process

of fair voting rights

of unaffected normal Americans.

Let me start by

saying there has been

an inordinate amount

of false reporting,

rumors, and innuendo

regarding the recent increases

in dementia-related

behaviors here in our country

and across the world.

Let me be perfectly

clear about this.

Despite what you may be

hearing on some news channels

by uninformed commentators,

there is no evidence,

and I repeat, no

evidence that this

is a disease of the LGBTQ or

African-American communities.

That is false reporting

and fake news.

I'm aware that there are some

elected officials and some

who've recently

lost their seats who

are spreading this false

and misleading information.

This must stop immediately

as it is extremely dangerous,

and it is causing additional

carnage, additional loss

of life.

As many of you know,

I have appointed

an independent commission

led by Dr. Joseph

Feretti, a nationally

recognized neurologist,

to lead our team of researchers

into the cause of this disease

and to make recommendations

on how to proceed.

There are some who are

advocating for locking up

individuals who are

suspected of having

some of the symptoms

of this dementia.

In Texas and Florida

and some other states

where Republican

governors are in charge,

there is a movement to

detain and euthanize

those individuals.

This is unconstitutional.

It is uncalled for,

unnecessary, and unlawful,

and I have asked the

United States Supreme

Court to convene immediately

under executive order

to issue immediate

ruling that will

stop this unlawful

detainment of Americans.

I'm going to turn this

over to Dr. Joseph Feretti

who will give you updated

information on this disease

and how we proceed.

Mr. President, so you're

saying that there's no need

to be concerned about the

gays and Blacks who supported

your election

spreading this virus,

and we should just all go

back to the way we were

living as if nothing happened?

This

son of a bitch.

That is not at all what

I said, and you know it.

This disease is impacting

all of us every day.

And as Dr. Feretti

will tell you,

this disease is

targeting older Americans

of all races, all ethnicities

and sexual orientations.

It doesn't exclude any group.

Mr. President, so you're saying

the majority of those affected

are older Americans?

That is exactly what I'm saying.

And we have the

data to prove it.

Those aged 60 and older

are at highest risk.

And by the way, this has nothing

to do with COVID-19 vaccines

or boosters.

That's just nonsense

being spread

by rumor mongers and morons.

Mr. President, you're over 60.

In fact, you're 70 years old

and you've had the vaccine.

Not everyone over the age of 60

is going to get this disease.

You're overgeneralizing.

Stick to the facts.

I will let Dr. Feretti

continue from here.

Thank you, Mr. President.

Dr. Feretti, is it...

Is it true what the president

said about those over 60

getting the virus?

Our research does indicate

the average age to be 75,

and the youngest we've seen

has been a 63-year-old female.

Why is it targeting those

in this age group, gays,

and African-Americans?

Allow me to be perfectly clear.

This disease is not necessarily

targeting any specific age

group, ethnicity,

sexual orientation.

This is a worldwide

movement, and...

Dr. Feretti.

Dr. Feretti, do you believe

the president should step down

given that he meets three

of the four criteria

outlined here today with

respect to their nature?

What in God's name are

you people talking about?

The president is clearly

over 60 years of age.

He has had both the COVID

vaccine and the booster.

And he's reported that

he is one quarter Black.

So I ask you again.

Should he step down

as president given

that he has these qualities?

As I've said, not everyone is...

Well, could it be

advisable for the president

to step down given that

he has these markers?

As I have repeatedly

stated, this disease

does not target any

specific groups.

Dr. Feretti.

Dr. Feretti...

What's happening is that

the disease is rapidly

aging the brains of

those who contracted it.

And at this point, we're

working on determining

how it's being spread.

And I assure you

this is not simply

an LGBTQ or

African-American issue.

But based on our reporting,

it's happening only

to those who received

the COVID vaccine.

There's no denying that.

We have evidence to

support these findings.

Listen, that's completely

false information,

and there's absolutely no

scientifically founded link

to the vaccine.

And...

Isn't it true that

Senator DeMarcos

has evidence that the

vaccine is the cause,

and that you yourself

being h*m*

have effectively escaped

confinement and detention

in one of the facilities

that the state of Texas

has opened for treatment?

Nothing could be further

from the truth, all right?

I'm here working with a group

of medical professionals trying

to figure out how we can

contain this outbreak.

And get your g*dd*mn

facts straight.

So you're saying

you're not gay and you

haven't been vaccinated?

That's all we have for today.

Dr. Feretti is a

very busy man, and he

must get back to his troop.

We will give you updates

as soon as we can.

Thank you.

In a hastily scheduled news

conference, both the president

and his chief scientist,

Dr. Joseph Feretti,

whose team is closely

studying the Atrophieds,

clearly indicated that

this form of dementia

is not only spreading

quickly around the world,

but scientists are

now discovering

that this disease

is rapidly aging

the brains of h*m*,

Blacks, and those

over the age of 60.

There are now multiple

agencies and officials

calling for the immediate

resignation of the president

and vice president, both

of whom are well over 60

and have been vaccinated.

The House and the

Senate are reportedly

in session this

afternoon to debate

the future of this presidency

with both Republican Senate

Minority Leader and his caucus

calling for the president

to immediately resign.

The House is taking up

the measure as we speak.

There are also calls

from outside the Beltway

for all members of

Congress over the age of 60

who have received the COVID-19

vaccine or booster to resign

immediately as they are

deemed to be high-risk.

We are being told that the

representatives of each

of the 34 countries who

signed the peace accord

are being given

peace lilies to bring

to their respective countries

as a symbolic gesture

of lasting peace.

Critical food and

gasoline shortages

are reported throughout

the United States, Asia,

and Europe.

Schools are shutting down,

and rioting and looting

continues unabated.

They're reporting that Russians

and Chinese are euthanizing

people at an alarming rate.

10 million estimated so far and

the bodies are being b*rned.

A haze over China

has implications

for the health of other citizens

because of the massive piles

of burning.

Breaking news.

We're being told

tonight from sources

close to Senator

DeMarcos that he

is forming a coalition

government installed

in Austin, Texas.

In Los Angeles, an

80-year-old physician

turned himself in to

the police stating

that he had euthanized more than

80 residents of a nursing home.

Before he could be

arrested, the doctor

turned the g*n on himself

and k*lled himself.

In Oregon, officials

have announced

that they have opened more than

a dozen euthanasia rooms where

those afflicted by

the atrophy disease

can voluntarily submit

to legalized euthanasia.

Hundreds of people showed up

today and are standing in line

to be euthanized.

Are you f*cking kidding me?

Are you f*cking kidding me?

He was right here under our

noses the whole f*cking time.

Holy sh*t.

How did we not see this?

Hello.

I think I've found

something, and it's big.

I bet you're going to tell

me you'll send me a d*ck pic.

You just want to

have some phone sex.

Yeah, I mean, that sounds

great, but maybe later.

But listen to me.

I think I found something huge.

So?

It's is 3:00 AM.

This better be good.

Don't you think it's

strange that it's

only 34 countries

where this began,

I mean, initially, I mean?

Not really.

No, but what are you getting at?

Well, listen, I did some

research, all right?

And the 34 countries

where this began

are the same 34 countries

that participated

in the Korean Peace Agreement.

Oh, my god.

Exactly.

Look, I know there's

a connection,

and I'm fairly certain

it's North Korea.

Jesus Christ.

Son of a f*cking bitch.

Who else knows about this?

I mean, no one.

Just us, babe.

But look, I'm just

trying to figure out

how this thing might spread.

Yeah, it sounds like one of

your more conspiracy-type novels

you've written in

the past, honey.

I think the link is

the water lilies.

I mean, I can't think of any

other plausible explanation.

Do you think it's possible

that the water lilies

that people brought

back from Korea

had some kind of

mutation or protein

that spread the

initial infection?

Yeah, you might be

on to something.

Yeah, biological warfare

right under our g*dd*mn noses.

Look, I really think

there's a connection, OK?

Just maybe you and your

team could look into it, OK?

Just please do this for me.

Yeah, yeah, yeah.

I'll get started on them.

I definitely can't

sleep right now.

You got my motor

running now, honey,

more ways than you can imagine.

Just get back to me, OK?

Yeah, I will, honey.

All right.

Good night.

I love you.

I love you.

Bye.

Amanda, have you seen this?

Of course.

I'm the one that put

them on your desk.

This data can't be right.

It seems incredible, right?

That's what's tracking

from our sources.

That's why I want

you to see ASAP.

Who else has seen this?

Only my team, and they're just

as shocked as you seem to be.

I went over all the data, and it

seems to be reliable trending.

OK, so suicides are up 900%

in the US in the last month

and homicides are up

2,100% in the last month?

Listen, I knew it was bad,

but how is this possible?

I don't know, Warren.

But that's what the

data is showing us,

and that's what we've been

seeing all over the news

lately.

Has the whole country

gone f*cking nuts?

I wish it was as simple as that.

Looks as if this trend

is happening in Europe

and parts of Asia too.

We're working on getting

the data from South America

as well, but it's

slow coming in.

All right, listen.

Nobody sees this

without my say so.

You got it?

And let's get Kendra Jones

over at the CDCE on this

because this is way

above my pay grade.

And as you can see, we've

been able to determine

that it's likely

a protein that's

causing the rapid deterioration

of the brain cells,

particularly in the

frontal and temporal lobes.

What's unusual is

the deterioration

we're seeing to the thalamus

and to the mammillary bodies

of the hypothalamus in

addition to generalized

cerebral atrophy, neuronal

loss, and damage to the neurons.

But as I said, we have a hazmat

team taking a look at the water

lilies that were brought

back from North Korea,

and maybe the answer

is in there somewhere.

My husband seems

to think there's

some kind of

connection, and I think

it wouldn't be too

far fetched if this

were some kind of biowarfare.

Now, excuse me, please.

Dad, Peter is missing.

I don't know.

He's gone.

He was taken.

The neighbors said a black

van came by the house

earlier this morning, and

they forced him into it.

No, dad, you can't come back.

It's not safe.

They'll be looking for you too.

Dad, no, stay in Washington

and just let me handle this.

I have a better chance

of finding him since I

work for Senator DeMarcos, OK?

I can find him.

Just trust me.

You've got to listen to me.

I come from the future.

You're the only

one who can help.

This agenda is dangerous.

They have his laptop.

He found something,

and they wanted it.

Not now, Alex.

I need to speak with you.

I said not now.

I'm afraid I have to insist.

Where is he?

Where is who?

You know who.

Quit playing f*cking

games with me.

Alex, what are you doing?

Shut the f*ck up, Victor.

OK, OK.

Let's just calm down.

Now, you have exactly 10

seconds to get out of this room

before I walk over and

take that g*n from you.

I'm going to have you arrested.

If you try to take my g*n,

I will sh**t your balls off.

Now, where is Peter?

What have you done with him?

Just tell me where he is.

The next sh*t will

be to your balls, OK?

And then your gut.

And then your heart.

And I'll still have two

b*ll*ts left for you, Victor.

Now, where is he?

OK, just calm down, Alex.

Let's make a deal.

No, I don't want anything to

do with your f*cking deals.

Just tell me where he is.

Senator, is everything OK?

Everything's fine, Alice.

To think that I really

believed in your agenda.

How stupid was I to fall

for your lies and bullshit?

Now, where is he?

For the last time, where is he?

Hello.

He's fine, Alice.

Just get the f*ck

away from the door.

OK, OK, just take it easy.

I'm going to tell you.

Peter is safe.

I can assure you.

And he'll continue

to stay safe as long

as you do exactly

what I tell you to do.

No, you don't give

the orders anymore.

I'm telling you what the

f*ck to do, so do it.

It's not an order.

It's not an order.

Let's just think of

it as a negotiation.

It's really very simple.

You tell your dad to

set up a news conference

and tell everyone he supports

our findings that this disease

is related to the vaccines

and h*m* and Blacks.

You're a piece of sh*t.

No f*cking way.

This is my negotiation.

Now make the call

to release him.

OK, OK, OK.

OK.

Have it your way, Alex.

You really don't know what

you're up against here, Alex.

In a few days, I'm going to be

the president of the New South

Republic.

Yes, this is Senator DeMarcos.

Find Peter Cardenas and

bring him to the front gate.

That's right.

Feretti.

I have a man I'm

sending over to get him.

His name is Alex Feretti.

That's right.

When Mr. Feretti gets

there, put a b*llet

in Peter Cardenas's brain.

You.

Get off me!

Get off me!

Get the f*ck off, fucker!

Are you OK?

Get off me.

Stop.

Cuff him.

Get off of me.

I'll still sh**t him.

You'd better hurry.

You don't have much time.

Hello?

Well, I wish you

guys up in Austin

would figure it the f*ck

out and make up your minds.

They just went to get him.

What the f*ck am I supposed to

do with them in the meantime?

I don't get paid

enough to babysit

a bunch of Atrophoids... f*ck,

whatever the f*ck they are.

And I don't want to

get close to them

because I don't even

want to get f*cking sick.

I don't give a f*ck!

This better be legit, man,

or I will put a f*cking

hole in both of your heads.

It's all over social media

that the whole government

is about to collapse.

This means nothing to me.

I don't give a sh*t if you

or everyone else here dies.

I am headed out tomorrow

morning to the new beginning,

so you better be here tonight.

f*ck off!

We need to get to

dad in Washington.

I was thinking we'd go to your

house, pick up a few things,

and then we can

head out from there.

Maybe it's better if we

just get a motel room

and sit tight for a few days.

I got a burner phone.

I'm sure mine is being tracked.

Things have really come to

a head in the last few days.

I don't know if he'll answer,

but try giving dad a call.

Alex, I don't

remember the number.

Alex, I don't

remember the number.

Alex, look at me.

Look at me.

I love you.

I love you.

As the government

is in complete chaos

and the whereabouts of both the

president and vice president

is unclear, officials from

the New South government

report that 16 states have

agreed to effectively secede

from the United States

while 34 states reportedly

have joined forces to form a

new government in the north.

The CDCE is reporting

there has been

some cases of the virus found

in a few adults in their seconds

and 40s.

There was a case of a

man who would pick up

prostitutes to play out

his blow-up doll fantasies.

It was confirmed through autopsy

reports he did have the virus.

There's another case of

a mentally ill patient

who painted with his own blood.

He believed he saw a man

or human-like organism

from outer space heading to

Earth in the form of a fallen

star or comet.

He claimed there were many

more in the sky falling

onto Earth living amongst us.

Others infected claimed having

had similar experiences.

They claim they saw

and felt the presence

of their recently departed

loved ones ascending to the sky.

A few people of faith

who contracted the virus

believe they could actually

see their loved ones as they

made their way to heaven.

Could these be extraterrestrials

invading or living amongst us?

Experts believe these

may be isolated cases.

Dad.

Alex, is everything OK?

Yeah.

Yeah, we're both safe.

Just trying to figure out

how to get to Washington.

But it's going to take a while.

National Guard shut down a

lot of the roads out here.

Jesus.

How's Peter doing?

I don't know.

He just seems a little

lost and demoralized.

He's been through a lot, dad.

I'm sure he'll be

better when he sees you.

I can't wait to see you guys.

Listen.

Alex, Washington's not safe.

We've got to revise our plans.

Yeah.

I just saw they're

forming a new government.

Yeah, supposedly

up in Ohio, yeah.

Just tell us where

and we'll get there.

Listen, we got to

be very careful.

I think our phones

are being monitored,

and I'm certain

I'm being followed.

Remember where we vacationed

when you were in middle school?

Of course.

It's the only real

vacation time we ever

spent together because

you were always working

and didn't have time.

I'm sorry, dad.

That was uncalled for.

I'm just feeling a little

unhinged these days

with everything

that's happening.

And it's OK, buddy.

I get it.

I understand.

I know I wasn't the best father

when you were growing up.

I know that, and I'm sorry.

But I thank you and I appreciate

you for finding and taking

care of Peter for me.

I don't know what

I'd do if I lost him.

I'll make it up to you somehow.

I swear to god I will.

All right.

I'll call you whenever I can

to let you know where we are.

OK.

I'll let you speak with Peter.

Thanks, buddy.

I love you, dad.

I love you, buddy.

Baby.

Hey, honey.

I miss you.

Just get over here.

OK, I'm going to

see you tomorrow.

We're going to figure

out a place to meet, OK?

And I'm going to

see you tomorrow.

We're figuring out

where to meet, OK?

And just take care of

Alex, and I love you, OK?

I love you.

All right, all right, sweetie.

Bye.

Hey.

Let's get you dressed, OK?

Son of a f*cking bitch.

What are we going to do about

the militia groups calling

for their own

independent states?

That's not going to happen.

The Proud Forest,

The Freedom Legion,

and The Committee

of the New States

are all demanding meetings.

There will be more to

come as we settle in.

Oh, we don't need

to worry about them.

We do need to show

who's in charge.

Set up some meetings here in

Austin, one group at a time.

Have the National Guard

form a ring around the city.

When they get here to Austin,

and we bring them here

and execute them for treason.

I don't think the governor

is going to go for that.

The governor does

what I tell him.

Let me take care

of the governor.

Make the announcement

on social media

that the president of

the New South government

intends to set up a coalition

to decide how our states are

going to be divided.

That should get

their attention, then

we'll take them out one by one.

Some of them were blaming

you for all of this.

I mean, they're believing

the whole North Korea

biological warfare conspiracy.

They can believe what

they want to believe.

As I said, I'll

take care of them.

They're out for

blood, Mr. President.

So am I, Mr. Vice President?

So am I.

Thank you all for coming to

this undisclosed location.

I guess you've already

heard that we've

been defunded and told to cease

our research and treatment.

Yes, but on whose orders?

Who has that kind of authority?

It's complicated.

The New South government

has sent the National Guard

to close us down.

We're assuming

that it's DeMarcos,

but we don't know for sure.

We got to speak

with the president.

It's already done.

He wants us to

continue our work,

but it's unclear what

kind of government

is left at this point.

Where is the president?

In an undisclosed location

with other world leaders.

It's only five of us

that can make contact

with him until further notice.

Has anybody here

informed them that we

suspect North Korea's

initiated biological warfare?

Yes, I've briefed him.

And the vice president?

He's still in Washington.

But he has no real

power anymore.

Congress is in session as

we speak so that they can

determine what the government...

Oh, f*ck.

Is this really happening?

Oh, my god.

Did anyone have any idea

this was going to happen?

There was some social

media chatter about it,

but nobody was

taking it seriously,

at least not the FBI or Homeland

Security as far as I know.

It says they're executing

members of Congress.

Capitol Police are

getting k*lled too.

We should leave and

find someplace safer.

No, at this point, docs, I

don't know where safer would be?

Here's what I say, we

sit tight and assess

the situation from here.

This is an emergency

announcement.

This is an emergency

announcement.

Evacuate the

building immediately.

Well, I guess I was wrong.

We need to get out of here now.

Where the f*ck

are you taking me?

We're going to see, dad, Peter.

Remember?

We talked about that.

My dad's dead.

Are you taking me

to the cemetery?

No, Peter, we're

going to see my dad.

Joseph?

OK.

Why are you f*cking

touching my hand?

You f*cking touch me again,

I'll f*cking k*ll you.

It took us three days

to get out of Texas.

Peter's dementia got

worse as we traveled.

It was clear he wasn't

going to get better.

His birthday was three days ago.

He didn't remember.

As a final gift, I did what

I promised him I would do.

I don't know if I'll

ever see my father again.

We've lost all communication.

Perhaps it's for the best.

I don't think I could face it.

I don't pay attention

to the news anymore.

I don't care who's in

charge of the government.

I don't care if North Korea

was responsible for this mess

or if they have achieved

world domination.

I've lost all the people

I most cared about.

Along the way, I lost myself.
