- I hate bullies.
- How do you know what I was dreaming?
MASHA: I use a little auditory subliminal stimuli.
I put in a chemical catalyst, and...
I can see your past trauma with bullies.
- What exactly are you giving me?
- What I'm giving you is a story.
This is going to be yours.
It's not connected to the internet,
but the camera is working just fine.
So I want you to document all of the events
that you see today. I want you to record them,
to write them down. I want you to do it all.
- Why? What's about to happen? [Masha sighs]
- Well for starters...
You are about to happen.
Your whole life has been about tearing down.
You target the bullies.
Destroy them.
The question is...
have you ever nurtured anything?
- No. - No.
Have you ever been a vehicle for growth?
- No.
- I am gonna offer you the chance to build something.
Something extraordinary.
So...
you came here to boost your career.

Somebody wants to scare me.

Masha, he was crazy about me.
We were-- we were in love.

To-- to study you, in the hopes of-- of...
of becoming you.
And then he-- he might want me back.
- Oh. CARMEL: I'm sorry.
- No. I should apologize to you.
I was a different person then, Carmel.
- May I ask what was he to you?
- You're not gonna like this answer
but he was nothing.
He was a placeholder.
I was consumed with work.
I-- I had affairs with married men
who wouldn't get attached and that was it.

is blame.
When a child dies...
and there's blame to be had...
That's why I thought when, uh...
When I thought it was me...
- Hmm. - When I'd overslept
and I thought maybe I could've made a difference.
I was so afraid...
that Heather would blame me and leave me.
And I was convinced of it because if the shoe
were on the other foot, I'd probably leave her.
Who wouldn't?
Well, you know what, now the shoe's on the other foot.
She scours the label of every food product
before she puts a morsel in her mouth.
God forbid she come in contact with a bit of sugar or gluten.
Either she read about the side effects
in that pamphlet or she didn't.
But either way...
Hmm.
I'm a pretty forgiving man. I've...
I've had to learn to be, but, uh...
Yeah. I don't think I can forgive that.
- She's the love of your life.
- It doesn't matter.
It's not enough.
- What do you want, Napoleon?
What do you want...
most?
[sighs]
- I just want my son back.
- Suppose I can arrange that.
I'm not saying I can bring him back for real,
but I am saying that reality is a perspective.
- "Reality is a perspective." MASHA: Mmm.
- What does that even mean?
I killed my son.
- Oh, Heather. Heather...
- I killed him.
♪ dramatic music playing ♪
- And I am talking
about bringing him back for you.
- As a fucking hallucination.
- Psychedelics can be used to achieve an alternate reality.
The science is here.
And in that alternate reality, Zachary can exist
because what happened today was incredible.
All three of you saw Zachary.
It's called shared psychosis hallucination.
It's-- It's very rare. It's very powerful.
There's usually a dominant player,
a primary inducer.
And there was, it was Zoe.
- I don't know what you're saying.
- If you let me guide you, help you...
you can see Zachary
and you can interact with him, talk to him, you can.
- Via psychedelics?
MASHA: Yes. - Right. Yeah.
I'm sorry. That just sounds like madness.
- But it's not madness.
It's dangerous if it's not managed correctly,
but it is not madness.
- This is why we're here.
This is why you chose us.
- Because I wanna help you.
I don't want you to have this pain.
Think of all the people that are living
with this unbearable grief and pain.
Think of it.
If this works...
imagine what we can offer them.
Because what we can do is we can offer them
the chance to relieve past trauma.
We can offer them the chance to come to terms with it,
to share those terms...
with the object of their grief.
Like Zachary for you.
- Mm-mm. No. I go back to madness.
- Heather.
I know pain.
I know it.
And I also know healing.
Put yourself in my hands and under my care, my control.
I will try to give you your son back.

CARMEL: Yeah. [laughs]
[sighs] Wow.
A crazy day, huh?
- Definitely strange.
CARMEL: Yeah.
How you doing?
- Oh, you know.
- I actually do.
I think-- I think we're a little alike.
Yeah.
Like when you had your vision of your-- your mini-man.
Like Masha said,
the heart hurts, but our heads,
you know, getting...
played for fools.
It-- It-- It's not so much
that-- that they stopped feeling...
for us or-- or that they never felt that much
to begin with.
It is how they made us feel...
about ourselves.
- Have you noticed that...
the other people are starting to feel better,
you know, in their own way.
I mean, I think I'm even somewhat improving,
although incrementally.

I just-- I just worry that

DELILAH: She is gonna try again with the Marconis.
YAO: How do you know?
- I overheard them talking about it.
Heather just had a fully psychotic episode.
They-- They are in no position to make that kind of decision.
Set aside the legal exposure, you saw what happened last time.
It won't work.
- It might. It almost did last time.
- But it didn't.
The Connollys are still stalking Masha.
They're still threatening her.
- We don't know that it's them.
- Then who is threatening her?
It is a huge risk.
- It's the risk that we take.
Look, I believe in what we're building here.
And you did once too, all right?
The protocol got you well,
it'll be the same for the Marconis.
- This is not mindfulness or yoga or--
or even microdosing.
I don't care.
I don't want to be complicit in this.
And I don't want you to be complicit in this.
We need to get out of here.
