You brought Max with you,
didn't you? It's your cat.

Yeah.

[therapist] Why don't we say
one great thing


that your partner does for you?

John always leaves
the toilet seat down.

[therapist] Did something
happen at work?


What?

How is Jane?

[John] I can't abandon my mom.

I take care of her.
I have to talk to my mom.

What do you do for a living?

I'm a software engineer.

[John] I really
don't like that guy.


[Jane] Just call this
what it is.


You were having
a full-blown emotional affair,

and she was probably going
to f*cking k*ll you.

[grunting]

[Jane] And now we're going
to have to get another fail,


because you have
to feel f*cking good.


[Jane] What do you think
happens if we fail?


- Our marriage?
- Our mission.

[John] I'm done.

I'm sorry, but did Michael

Can I cut through yours and just

[Jane] I don't know
if Michael told you, but,


you know, we're in the process
of splitting up.

I know. I'm not blind.

You think I break
into people's houses for fun?

No. Sorry.

Listen. Michael just needs

to know that you love him.

He is a kid
who was always very attached,

and he always had
to be in my face,

always had to be with me.

I even had to put him
in his car seat

and bring him in the bathroom

in order to take a shower
every morning.

What I've discovered
about him is

he really needs to feel safe,

and once he feels safe,

he's going to be Michael.

But if not, he's going to be

whoever it is
that you want him to be.

So, before you call it quits,

make sure you know which Michael
you're breaking up with.

What has Michael said about me?

Ah. He's said nothing
but great things about you.

It's just that I have
a sense about people,

and you seem cold.

I think I...
I don't make people feel safe.

I think I... I push them away.

That's why
I stay away from them.

So I think it's good
that we're not together.

Maybe.

But, uh, Michael understands
complicated people.

You know there's
more at stake here.

Oh, are you pregnant?

No.

Well, the stakes
aren't that high, then.

It's a shame.

Looks like you guys
have a wonderful life.

you were permitted to build it.

There are no records

You combined
two historical brownstones

which is unheard of.

You added a garage and a pool,
which, alone, would cost anyone

over $25 million if the city
would even allow for it.

All this on the salary
of two software engineers.

neither would have the palate

No, I didn't.

How'd you guys get in here?

- The supe. Yeah.
- Supe gave us the key.

[Jane #2] I know
what you're thinking.

Don't be dramatic.

- Put your hands in the air.
- Yeah, actually...

uh, wait, uh, guys,

how about a sit-down?

- It's nicer that way.
- Okay. Yeah.

- Right? Just, just...

[John #2] Sit. Come on.

[Jane #2] Yeah, let's sit down.

[John #2] You guys want a drink?

No. We're on truth serum.

- I-I'll take one.
- Smart man.

- You're on truth serum?
- Yeah.

Oh, um, are you armed?

[glasses clinking]

- No.
- No.

Are there any loaded weapons
in the house?

Yeah. In the freezer,
there's one taped.

There's one on
the stairwell, I think.

There's one taped
to the kitchen trash.

And then one behind the couch.

[Jane] And I don't think
there's any more

'cause I think we used the rest.

- We used most of them.
- [Jane #2] This is bizarre.

We've finalized a lot of Smiths,

but never on truth serum.

What does "finalized" mean?

[Jane #2] That's when
you take out other Smiths.

They call it "finalizing."

How often do you finalize?

- That's all we do.

What else could
"extremely high risk" be?

Extremely high risk.

- You k*ll other Smiths.
- You k*ll other Smiths.

Exactly.

It's a bummer.
We really liked you guys.

- We do.
- You're fun.

- Thanks.

We liked you, right?

Until we didn't.

At the end.

Th-The guy in El Salvador,
what-what...

[Jane #2] A Smith.

I mean, he was a Smith.

You know, everyone wants to...

try to make a break
for it and...

it... it's silly.

- Yeah, the more you submit to Supe...
- Yes.

...the stronger your faith,

- the easier it all becomes.
- The easier it is.

Why do you guys talk about him
like he's a god?

'Cause he is.

How do you think I knew
where to find you?

That wasn't a coincidence.

Farmers' market,
juice tent, 11:52 a.m.

He's never wrong.

He knows what you're gonna do
before you do it.

He knew where you were going

before you knew
where you were going.

He knew us all
before we were Smiths.

And he... the things that
he knows, what he tells us,

- they're incredible.
- [John #2] Everything he says.

It's like you do
what he tells you to do,

and you are rewarded
with the gift of the present.
