Welcome.
Please, make yourself
comfortable.
As you know,
this entertainment is called
"Dispatches from Somewhere,"
a title that I assure you
will have more significance
than we can --
Thank you.
Should I try it again?
Maybe this time with just
a touch more, uh, quiet longing?
I can't imagine
that would help.
- You blew it, Tom.
- [ Cellphone vibrates ]
We'll be in touch.
OCTAVIO PRIME:
Our cryptic conductor,
cloaked in secrecy
and pantsuits,
orchestrating her symphony
from the wings of the stage,
unseen and unknown.
[ Chuckles ]
Well, perhaps not entirely.
You may recall several brief
but intriguing appearances
earlier in our tale,
numbering,
by my count, no less than three,
but no more than five.
Shh.
You may have even guessed
at their significance,
correctly identifying
this mysterious madame
as no mere
background player.
If this is the case,
I applaud your deductive powers.
If not, take heart.
Her presence heretofore
has been carefully calibrated
to sustain
narrative coherence
without diminishing
the potential for a satisfying,
if not entirely shocking,
reveal.
MILKMAN: Chucks?
Chucks Dorp?
That can't be right.
So, who exactly is
this abstruse architect,
this enigmatic engineer?
Simply put, this is...
Lee!
OCTAVIO PRIME:
Think of her as you.
STAFFER #1: The liaison from
the mayor's office called.
We're good to go on
Rittenhouse Square Park,
but the whole Liberty Bell
thing's got them, "Eh!"
so we've got to go
with an alt.
Also, we've got an offer out
to Mackenzie for the Clara role,
but her mom-ager
wants three solos.
Oh,
and Linda and I agree
that this is the best
of the bunch.
Plus the printer needs approval
on these Jejune materials ASAP.
Okay,
nix the bell.
Two solos are our best
and final.
And for God's sake,
find a different color scheme.
I-It's too political.
We're trying to instill
a sense of wonder,
not remind people
they're trapped
in an overheating hellscape
on the verge
of ideological collapse.
Also, this 'Squatch looks like
something I hit with my car.
Ge--
We can do better.
- Okay, what's this?
- It's a flier...
for the dolphin
communication system testing.
It is?
Because
that is a porpoise.
And it's a porpoise
that's not even
wearing
a transmissions helmet,
which leads me to question
what system exactly
is facilitating
said communication.
And -- And did I or did I not
say I wanted pull tabs?
I said
I wanted pull tabs!
STAFFER #1:
While we're on the subject,
casting sent these over.
But I feel like
I should warn you
at least half of them
are porpoises.
[ Sighs ]
OCTAVIO PRIME: Lee is you
if you ever had a regret so big
you just couldn't shake it,
no matter
how hard you tried.
Lee is you if you finally have
the chance to make amends,
to put things right.
Only now, all you are...
[ Screams ]
OCTAVIO PRIME:...is afraid
that you're in over your head,
that you can't pull it off,
but afraid, most of all,
that even if you do,
it won't change anything.

BRITISH WOMAN: Welcome to
the Jejune Institute,
Philadelphia Induction Center.
Please have a seat
in the armchair
which has been
provided for you.
Orientation will begin in
five, four, three, two, one.
[ Whirring ]
Oh, dear.
Nod if you agree.
Uh, I-I really don't know
what I'm agreeing to,
but I like your suit.
Please.
The only possible answers
are nod yes, nod no,
nod yes then no...
Is this a cult?
...nod no then yes,
don't nod.
It sounds exciting.
So, exciting is good...
sort of.
Five pre-recorded responses,
and then press a button.
That's child's play.
I mean, it's kind of
fun and all,
but if it turns out there's
weird sex stuff involved,
I'm gonna be
so disappointed.
OCTAVIO: No, my friend.
Not you.
You don't belong here.
Come with me.
You belong with
the special ones.
[Peter crying]
PSYCHIATRIST:
And how has this week been?
You know, it's perfectly normal
to experience
an increase in anxiety
after a major life event.
Even the ones we're supposed
to celebrate.
You've spent years building that
division from the ground up.
I know.
I just thought...
I don't know, I just thought
I would feel different.
I've done everything
I was supposed to do.
Now I've got everything
I thought I wanted --
recognition, success,
more money than I even know
what to do with.
Only now I...
Do you ever worry that you're
not the hero of your own story?
Is this about Clara?
No.
Maybe.
I don't know.
It's just...
Sometimes I wonder.
What if it turns out that
I'm actually the villain?
[ Protestors chanting ]
And, scene.
Oh, man.
Did you see that?
That might just have been
the most ambiguously sinister
walk of my career.
I am hyped.
Hey, does anyone else see this
hardcore at my 9:00.
MAN: Copy that. You want us to
put security on him?
Forget it.
We're behind schedule
as it is.
What's the worst
he could do?
[ Trunk closes ]
Okay, call me crazy, but I think
it's possible that guy just...
- I know. He got in the trunk!
- ...got in the trunk.
Yeah.
[ Chanting continues ]
JANICE:
We're coming, Fredwynn!
Out of the way!
Out of the way!
LEE: Listen up.
There's been
a change in plans.
The audience plant
is out.
And Granny is in.
Who am I?!
Who am I?!
Can I even remember anymore?
Well, no more, my friends.
No more.
Now, I need a volunteer
for the demonstration.
- Crap.
- OCTAVIO: Raise your hands.
Come on, Janice.
Come on.
Let me see. Let me see.
Let me see.
- OCTAVIO: And...
- Pick me!
Yes!
That's what I'm talking about.
We are back on game,
people!
We are back on...
[ Knocks on door ]
Hello!
- Hi!
- Hi!
Miss Lee, come meet
my new friends!
Okay,
whose kid is this?
Sorry.
I'm so sorry.
The babysitter canceled
last minute.
I told you
not to bother Miss Lee.
But they're waiting
at the door.
Who's waiting
at the door?
The pretty lady
and the old lady
and the tall man
and the weird man.
Alright, come on.
- Right here.
- Oh, my God.
- Ohh!
- Nice job!
[ Zapping ]
Hey, I've got
the Sword Superior!
The good news is that team
finally found Clara's house.
The bad news is
they also found your house.
I thought I told you
to keep an eye on them.
I did.
That's how I know about
the whole house situation.
But don't worry.
I'm sure they won't
actually go there.
Sorry. I only said that
because I'm nervous.
They are definitely going there,
like, as we speak.
What?
sh*t!
sh*t! sh*t!
Aah! sh*t!
Why can't you just let me
give you a magical experience?!
God damn it!
[ Lamp shatters ]
OCTAVIO: Bad news, everyone.
They have Clara.
We need your help right now.
Bad news, everyone.
They have Clara.
We need your help right now.
[ Mirror shatters ]
Get them to the finale,
whatever it takes.
PETER: Stop the music!
Please, stop the music!
That's not Clara.
There is a real Clara.
That's not her.
But there is a real Clara,
and she is out there,
and she is in trouble.
Do you want us
to throw them out?
No. They deserve to stay,
maybe more than anyone.
Now I'm awake.
I'm awake, and I am pissed off.
I'm pissed off because
I want to know the truth.
There's one last thing
I think I have to do.
OCTAVIO: Calm yourself.
It's just a game, son.
The truth is that
Clara is dead,
and it's all my fault.
SIMONE: Thank you.
Lemme see that.
Ah.
FREDWYNN: T. Emerson.
So, last night
was pretty crazy.
The song
and the dolphin.
Good crazy, right?
I mean,
I'm not mad about it.
That means I liked it.
I know.
I did, too.
[ Soft music plays ]
PETER:
Hey. Any luck?
JANICE: No.
No T. Emerson anywhere.
FREDWYNN: T. Emerson,
where are you?
Damn it,
it could be anyone.
Peter,
you take the flower girl.
Janice,
the walking people.
- Try them.
- Okay.
Simone, see if those Goth kids
over there
have seen anyone
that could be our contact.
SIMONE:
Fredwynn, that's a funeral.
Guys.
Found it.
Oh!
[ Applause ]
[ Breathing shakily ]
[ Suspenseful music plays ]
[ Music continues ]
[ Door opens ]
[ Doors open ]
FREDWYNN: Over here.
Clara Torres.
March 15, 1979,
December 6, 1999.
[ Button clicks ]
CLARA: Hey. Clara here.
[ Chuckles]
Oh, man, I just got
stage fright,
and there's
no one else around.
SIMONE:
Oh, my God, it's her.
The real Clara.
CLARA:
Okay, so, there's something
I've been thinking about
a lot lately.
How I can't tell
which comes first --
feeling unhappy
or feeling alone.
Maybe it doesn't even matter
because, really,
they're both just symptoms
of the same disease --
the illusion that we're in
this things all by ourselves,
that our pain and our hopes
and our fears --
that they're ours
and ours alone.
And that gave me an idea.
See, I used to make art
because I wanted to show people
the magic all around us.
But I'm starting to think
I was missing the point.
I don't just want to make
beautiful things.
I want to create something
that floods people's systems,
that spins them around
so many times
that nothing
makes sense and all --
all they can hold onto,
all they can see is each other.
Because that's where
the real magic is.
It's in the connections.
So, yeah, that's my big idea.
Maybe it's crazy or stupid.
But then again,
maybe it's not.
Maybe it's up to me to find
a way to bring people together.
[Sighs]
I don't know how I'm gonna
do it, but I have to try.
After all, we only get
just a little bit of time
on this spinning rock, right?
Is it really so crazy
to want to change the world
in whatever time I have left?
According to this, um,
Clara sold her company
to Lee,
and sh--
she died six months later.
So, the whole thing, the game,
the craziness, all of it...
It was all for her.
Yeah.
For Clara.
Alright, I got milk, coffee,
hot tea with lemon,
- and a cran-apple...
- Yes, I --
...to support waste elimination,
which you didn't need
to tell me,
and yet here we are.
Now, let me see
if I got this straight.
The Architect,
AKA Lee,
is the real-life
Lady in Black.
And she felt so guilty
about convincing Clara
to sell out her ideas that she
created this whole crazy game
as a way to, like,
atone for her sins.
Then you guys took it
so seriously
that you almost
ruined everything.
But she felt bad
about that, too,
so she ended up making
a whole new ending just for you.
That's about the shape of it,
yes.
Hmm.
Well, I can say this much.
It has been a real trip
eavesdropping on you guys.
- I think I'm gonna miss you.
- Huh?
No, you don't have to miss us.
We'll keep coming back.
I mean, we're --
we're friends now,
and this is kind of
"our place," right?
- [ Cellphone rings ]
- Oh! Oh! Oh!
I'm sorry.
I...
Oh,
I-I've got to take this.
- Okay.
- Excuse me.
So, what are
you guys feeling?
I'm thinking pancakes.
Would you like to go out
with me, like, on a date?
I don't mean like a date.
I mean an actual literal date.
To be clear,
I'm talking to Simone.
Fredwynn, I think you're great,
but honest--
I'd love to.
- You would?
- Yeah.
That's, uh, definitely what
I was hoping you'd say.
Oh, great.
Janice, Simone and I
are gonna go on a date.
She said yes.
I asked her.
JANICE: Oh!
Well, it's about time.
I'm happy for you guys.
Look, I've got to go.
Duty calls.
- Would -- Would you --
- Oh, of course. Yes.
I want to hear all about
this date when next I see you.
- Okay.
- Bye.
Bye, Janice.
I am also gonna leave
this establishment
and return
to my residence.
- Oh, really?
- Yes.
Okay.
I haven't had a sleep burst
in 36 hours,
and that m*rder board
isn't gonna scrapbook itself.
- Okay. Hey, man.
- You got this?
- Yeah.
- Uh, no.
Alright.
Yeah, um, I'm...
pretty exhausted,
if I'm honest.
Besides, I think if I stayed
and ate with you now,
then legally, this would be
our first date, so...
Okay.
Yeah.
Case law is already settled
on that one, I think.
- Yeah.
- Mm-hmm.
- Until tonight?
- Until tonight.
I really
look forward to it.
Thank you.
[ Soft music plays ]
[ Laughter ]
[ Music continues ]
Simone.
- Hey.
- Hi.
Uh, I am so sorry
that I am so late.
I was gonna make up an excuse
about getting lost,
but honestly, I just couldn't
decide what to wear.
You look beautiful.
I mean, really.
Here, sit down.
This is your seat.
Oh.
Thank you.
Yeah, of course.
Scooch ya.
For...madame?
Uh...yeah, thank you.
Thank you.
I ordered that.
I heard that
that's a nice thing.
So...starter sips.
Oh!
Um, well,
- to starter sips.
- [ Chuckles ]
[ Glasses clink ]
So, tell me, slick,
you bring all the girls
to this here feed barn?
No, I-I've never
been here before.
I Googled, um,
"most romantic restaurants,"
and this had
the most stars.
And so,
I-I just picked it
because I really wanted this
to be nice.
- Oh, sh**t!
- Oh!
- Darn it. I did that.
- No, no, no, no, no.
It's okay. No, no, no.
I'll do it, though.
You shouldn't have
to do any work.
Don't worry about it.
Um...
I think I'm probably
very nervous.
SIMONE:
Hey, I-I am, too.
Contrary to what
you might think,
I don't spend a lot
of time fine-dining
with extremely tall
and handsome gentlemen.
Extremely handsome,
huh?
Well, technically,
I said "extremely tall."
Got it.
Hey, for the record, I am
really glad we're doing this.
I am, too.
Yeah.
Big time.
I'm really bummed
it's over.
You know what I mean?
Yeah.
Like, everywhere I look,
I think, "Is it back?"
There was a-a guy in
my apartment today, for example.
He had
this mischievous look.
And I was looking at him
like I was sure
something fun was gonna happen,
and then, yeah.
And then
just nothing happened.
I feel like there's beauty
withdrawal or something.
That's exactly what it is.
But you know,
we have real life.
Yeah.
SIMONE: I want to
get to know you.
Real-life Peter --
What is he all about?
Totally.
What do you
want to know?
SIMONE: Well,
all I know about you
is that you used to work
in music data
and that you live
in the same building
as a guy
with a mischievous grin.
So, let's go with...
anything.
- Big or small.
- Right.
You know, just say the first
thing that pops into your head.
I mean, it's --
it's just a lot of choices.
SIMONE: Yeah.
I mean, don't think.
Just, like, say the --
I get --
I get nosebleeds.
I get nosebleeds.
Okay. Yeah, no.
That's interesting.
- It is.
- Oh, good.
Yeah.
I don't get them
so much anymore.
I got them a lot
when I was young.
- SIMONE: Uh-huh.
- Gushers.
Uh-huh.
When I was young, um, my mom
took me to get an MRI
to get to the bottom of what
was happening, and it turns out
I have something called
a brain-nub in the back, but --
but you can't see it anymore
but it's there.
Um,
it doesn't do anything.
It just causes
my nose to bleed.
It doesn't give me
any extra processing power
or anything like that.
So...
- Huh.
- PETER: Yeah.
And, so,
what happened?
One day, the nose--
nosebleeds just s-stopped?
I wish.
They slowed down a lot.
Um,
I assume that my --
like, the skull grew
to accommodate the nub.
SIMONE: Probably.
So it took some pressure
off of it.
Yeah.
I get them sometimes if I'm
feeling really stressed or sad.
Simone, I just want
to interject.
I haven't had to talk
about myself
in a really, really,
really long time.
And, uh, I'm finding that
I don't know what to say.
Everyone around here
is so charming,
and I wish
that I was charming.
But I don't --
I don't feel charming.
You want to
get out of here?
So much.
Please.
PETER: Hey.
SIMONE: Hey.
PETER:
Alright, I did it.
- SIMONE: Ready?
- PETER: Yes.
I can't believe neither of us
have ever done this before.
I know.
Okay.
- What do you think?
- Wow.
Pretty sure they both taste
the same.
Hmm.
That was fun.
Yeah.
But we didn't really have
to talk much
'cause our mouths
were full.
Yeah.
So, let's start
with something easy.
What's your favorite movie?
That's not easy.
"What's your favorite movie?"
There's so many.
Um...
I don't know.
What's yours?
"The Secret of NIMH."
The cartoon
about the rats?
Well, when you say it like that,
it's sort of embarrassing.
No, it's not. There's nothing
to be embarrassed about.
That -- That's awesome.
I can't top that.
You don't have to top it,
Peter.
Cake or pie?
I like
both of those things.
Fight or flight?
Uh, freeze.
I learned on "SVU" that there's
a third one -- freeze.
W-What about you?
First fight,
then flight.
I didn't
see that coming.
Hi.
Hey.
What's -- What's up?
Peter.
Before you say anything,
can I say something?
- Please?
- Sure.
I know I'm not doing very good
on this date.
But I'm --
I'm gonna try really hard.
I'm --
I'm getting better.
Are you, though?
Not yet,
but I'm...gonna.
Can I be honest
with you?
Not yet.
Don't do this yet.
No, I...
Look, um...
I think you're an incredibly
kind person.
But I just worry
that we're not --
No, you know?
Um...
I'm gonna be honest.
I don't think you're ready
for this.
Like, I mean, have you
ever thought about
how complicated
it would be if we were...
...you know, dating?
I've thought about
being happy.
A lot.
That's a really sweet thing
to say,
but I-I just think
that you're only
just now getting to
know yourself,
and that's --
like, that's wonderful.
But, um, you're --
you're like
I don't understand
what's happening right now.
Didn't you notice
those guys back there?
No.
Exactly.
Well, they were looking at us,
and they were --
They were probably looking at
you because you're pretty.
No, Peter.
They were not looking at me
because I am pretty.
They were looking at us,
and they were thinking,
"What is that guy doing
with that trans woman?"
And they thought that
if there was,
I don't know, maybe less people
around or something,
that they would come
and beat us up, or worse,
because
that is my reality.
I just -- I'm --
I'm only now getting
strong enough
to share that
with someone.
And I really thought
it could be you.
But I-I think that I need
someone who can be there for me,
and you don't even know
if you like cake or pie better.
And that's a simple question.
And -- And there's --
I think that we're getting
ahead of ourselves.
No, Peter, I'm not
getting ahead of myself.
I'm not.
I'm just...
[ Sighs ]
I'm just ahead of you,
and that...
...breaks my heart,
but that's -- that is the truth.
[ Sighs ]
PETER: Can I be honest with you
about something?
Yeah, yeah, ple--
I...
I think you've been thinking
about this
for a really long time
before I showed up,
and it has nothing
to do with me.
I un--
I understand,
but I do think
that there is another way
to look
at this whole situation
and that maybe you
and I could decide --
just listen to me,
please.
Just decide what we want
this world to be like for us,
and maybe it doesn't have to be
as scary as it is in your head.
Our story can be our own,
if we just, like,
try to
figure it out together.
Well, I think that
you are really lucky
that you have the luxury of
looking at the world that way.
PETER: I don't want this --
I don't want this fight.
Well, this is it.
This is...
- PETER: Hey.
- ...what we're doing.
- We're not in the game anymore.
- What do you want to do?
You want to go back to
just being strangers?
This is -- This is the flight
part that you told me about?
Maybe you should call me
when you get to the bottom
of the cake-or-pie
debate.
You don't have to
mock me.
You don't have to
mock me.
I know
who you want to be.
I can see him.
He's wonderful.
You're just not there yet,
Peter.
It takes years.
It takes a lifetime.
And until you're further
on that path, I just --
I don't think we stand
a chance, Peter.
I'm sorry.
How many years?
You're being
too literal again.
How many years?
I don't know.
One?
Sure.
Okay.
Take care of yourself,
Petri Dish.
[ Soft music plays ]
PETER: I mean, we're --
we're friends now,
and this is kind of
"our place," right?
- [ Cellphone rings ]
- JANICE: Oh! Oh! Oh!
I'm sorry.
I...
Oh,
I-I've got to take this.
Excuse me.
Hello?
Oh.
...on a date?
I don't mean like a date.
- PETER: I mean an actual...
- Okay.
Um, where is he now?
I'm on my way.
Janice, Simone and I
are gonna go on a date.
She said yes.
I asked her.
Oh, well,
it's about time.
And I'm happy
for you guys.
Look, I've --
I've got to go.
Duty calls.
- Would -- Would you?
- Oh, of course. Yes.
Next time I see you,
I want to hear about this date.
- See you later.
- PETER: See you, Janice.
[ Elevator dings ]
[ Indistinct conversations ]
You, with the clipboard,
are a "nurse"?
- Yes, I'm a nurse.
- Lev Foster.
He was admitted here earlier
today for what I'm assuming,
based on his medical history,
was another stroke.
I'm sorry, what's
your relationship
- to the patient again?
- I'm his wife's game partner.
- NURSE: Excuse me, sir.
- I'm sorry, Janice.
I know I'm not the best
with boundaries,
but I could tell something
was wrong at the diner,
and I didn't know
what to do.
It's okay. It's okay.
He -- He's with me.
Doctor, I so appreciate all
your help over the last months.
I guess I-I just need
a moment to think.
DR. PHILLIPS: Of course, Janice.
Take all the time you need.
Thank you.
[ Sighs ]
What can I do?
Nothing.
Nothing anyone can do,
except me.
I have to let him go,
Fredwynn.
Let him be at peace.
I have to do that.
Has there been a directive
regarding POLST?
If you don't know,
that means
Physician Order for Life
Sustaining --
I know what that is.
I...
Fredwynn, um,
I have to --
I have to
make a phone call,
so I'm gonna step out
in the hallway...
- Fine.
- ...for a few minutes.
I-I'll be right back.
Thank you, Fredwynn,
for coming to find me.
FREDWYNN: Yes. Yes.
Make your phone call.
Take your time.
JANICE: Okay.
Should I --
Should I talk to him?
They say it's good for them,
to -- to talk.
Yes,
that would be very nice.
Thank you.
FREDWYNN:
Oh. One follow-up.
How much does he know
about subliminal advertising?
Almost nothing.
Okay.
[ Chair scrapes ]
[ Sighs ]
[ Monitors beeping ]
Does the name Edward Bernays
mean anything to you?
Ben, it's Mom.
This is the second time
I've called.
Please call me back.
It's about Dad.
I need to talk to you.
[ Sighs ]
So, that's it, then?
You're just giving up.
You heard
what the doctor said.
He's gone.
Lev is not coming back.
Keeping him alive
with these machines
is not what
he would have wanted.
You won't do it.
You can't do it.
Wife, mother --
That's all you are.
Now your son's a grown man
and he doesn't need you anymore
and if you lose Lev,
then what are you?
Nothing.
Please don't do this.
I can't lose him!
You're not losing him.
I am.
You'll live your whole life
with him.
And at the end, it will
be up to you to let him go.
That's part of the deal,
too.
That's part of
loving someone.
Please, you can't!
Yes, I can.
Trust me.
We'll be okay.
Listen.
I have
more life to live,
and I have to learn
to do it without him.
But I can't do it
without you.
Please don't go.
Don't stop
pestering me.
[ Cellphone rings ]
Ben.
Hello.
I know.
I'm so sorry, honey.
I'm so sorry.
To be clear, I'm not saying
the Earth is hollow.
That would be absurd.
But do I think
there's a reason
the government is working
so hard to discredit
the theory's
most vocal proponents?
The answer is yes.
Yes, I do.
DR. PHILLIPS:
I just need you to sign here.
I'm sorry we never got a chance
to meet, Lev.
Janice is a special one.
Person, I mean.
[ Soft music plays ]
I don't know what I should
be doing or saying.
Maybe I should leave.
Or maybe I should stay.
Maybe I should just
stop talking.
I'd like you to stay,
but I understand --
I'll stay.
I'm with you, sweetheart.
I'm holding your hand.
Ben is here with you, too,
in his heart.
Your son wants you to know
that he loves you,
and he's holding
your other hand.
I hope
you can feel us both.
[ Flatline ]
JANICE: Hello.
Um, thank you all for coming.
Many of you I haven't seen
in such a long time.
Lev would -- I would...
Oh, I'm not good at this.
Lev was such
a wonderful speaker.
I think you all know that.
He was good at things
I could just never do.
I don't know.
Maybe I was good at things
that he could never do.
Maybe I don't know
what I could do
because he was so damn good
at everything.
Maybe.
I know one thing.
I will love and miss him
all the rest of my life.
That I can do.
That I can do.
Hey.
Hey.
Hi.
Oh, here's Janice.
- Hi.
- Hey.
Thank you
so much for coming.
It means so much to me.
Simone.
That was a really
beautiful service.
Thanks.
I'm very sorry
for your loss.
- Thank you.
- Yes.
It was very moving.
Fredwynn.
I, too,
enjoyed the event.
Also, I brought
everyone's game file.
For the record,
I considered waiting
for an organic segue
to present itself,
but after running
several mental simulations,
I chose now,
and abruptly.
Anyway, I felt like
you would want them.
I haven't looked at them.
Okay, I skimmed them
a little bit,
but I felt like you
would want to have them,
to keep them, to laminate them,
burn them, whatever.
The point is
they're yours.
That's so thoughtful
of you.
Listen, I-I'm gonna have to go,
okay?
- Yes, of course.
- Okay, I'll talk to you later.
- Bye, Janice.
- Okay. Bye.

LEE: Name -- Janice Foster.
Age 28.
Marital status -- single.
Very single.
General -- mistakes numbness
for safety.
Efforts to protect himself
with routine
have trapped him in a prison
of his own making.
Terrified of
her own vulnerability.
Doesn't seem to realize
that strength and weakness
are not mutually exclusive.
Worries she's given the best
pieces of herself away
and fails to see what's
grown back in their place.
Their talents and flaws
align and conflict
so completely it is
almost impossible to imagine
this team not having a
meaningful impact on each other.
Whether it be for the better
or the worse remains to be seen.
And one final note
about this "Fredwynn."
At first, I thought he was blind
to his own obsessions,
the effect they have
on the people he loves most.
But he knows
what it does to them.
He knows what it does to him.
He knows he should
just let things go.
And yet...
And yet...
And yet...
He just can't seem
to help himself
because he's always so sure
that there's more,
that he, and he alone,
has figured out the truth.
Of course, in this case,
it turns out he's right.
