I tell them I'm sane.

They think I'm crazy, and if I say,

"You know what? You're right, I am crazy,"

Oh.

How about I talk to them. Hmm?

You seem better to me.

How is it?

Sorry.

David.

How long were you together,

She didn't disappear.

I told you, they... they took her.

Sydney Barrett, the girl?

Yes.

Look, talk to the hospital.
They've got records.

The hospital where you were a
patient for the past six years

after being diagnosed with
paranoid schizophrenia?

Yes, but my condition has
nothing to do with that.

I didn't make her up. She's
a real girl... a woman.

Call the hospital. They've got records.

We've spoken to the hospital, David.

They have no record of Sydney Barrett

ever being a patient there.

Okay.

Is it possible, Mr. Haller...

and I'm not a psychiatrist, so...

but is it possible that this whole thing...

the girl, the incident...

that it's just part of
your illness, a delusion?

Uh, yes, sure, fine.

Then... well, how do you explain

what happened to Lenny?

Or all of them?

Well, I can't.

That's why we're having this...

Talk to Dr. Kissinger. He knows.

And Dr. Kissinger was your psychiatrist?

Yes.

Somehow I have a hard time
believing your psychiatrist

is gonna confirm the story
that you're telling me now.

Well, David, I think, don't you,

that we should talk about it?

Hmm? No.

It's important you...
if you want to go home...

See, my job, part of my job, is to assess.

Are you still a danger
to yourself, to others?

And the fact that you
tried to hang yourself...

We can skip that part.

Hmm?

Unless you think it's relevant to...

No. I mean, we don't have to.

Just...

Interesting.

Okay.

Let's talk about it.

[sighs]

Uh, well, I had a hard time after college.

After I got expelled.

I wasn't thinking straight.

The... the voices and not sleeping

and I was angry all the...

David.

And then...

Are you okay?

Philly left.

[door slams]

And I decided,

you know, what was the point?

[indistinct P.A. announcement]

You know, when a plate
breaks, you don't fix it.

You just get another plate.

So I tied a knot.

- [overlapping voices]
- No.

I'm telling you, don't touch it.

- Don't.
- You're stupid.

Weak!

Did the voices tell you to do that?

No, no.

No, they tried to stop me.

They didn't like it.

And yet the police say

they found no noose
in the apartment.

Just rope burns on your neck.

[whispered voices]

[clears throat]

How do you feel now?

Better.

Well, let me ask you this.

Do you still feel that, quote,

"You have power over things

and can control things with your mind"?

Hold on.

You think you can control
things with your mind?

I did, at one point, but
they helped with that,

the drugs and... is that why I'm here?

- Is that what this is?
- David...

I... you think I did this,
that I killed her with my mind?

No, don't be ridiculous,

but the girl is dead, David.

She is.

And it wasn't a heart attack, right?

So we're just, uh...

looking for the truth.

Which you promised to tell.

Look, I don't know, okay?

together before the incident?

Can we... can we take a break?

How's it look?

He's twitchy.

You said he was off his meds?

Yeah, for a week now.
You think that may be why

the sudden spike in telepathic activity?

So is he crazy or...

Well, I think he's telling
the truth as he knows it.

Meaning?

Well, he believes he's mentally ill,

but at the same time part of him knows

that the power is real.

And are we clear on the scope
and nature of this power?

No, but if the readings are right,

he may be the most powerful mutant

that we have ever encountered.

[chuckles]

After what happened in Red Hook,

I'd say that's an understatement.

So he has the power,

but he doesn't understand it

or know how to control it.

I'd like to dig deeper,

see if we can figure out what triggers it.

Division One thinks we should kill him now,

before he realizes what he is.

We may never get the chance again.

That would be a mistake.

We've never had a subject like this before.

David, hush. I'm not really here.

What do you mean? Where else would you be?

This is your memory of the

We're not on the street, not really.

We're in your mind. They

Who? How is that...

I don't have much time.

You're in a government facility.

I know. They said they were cops.

They're not cops.

I'll tell you everything soon,

but that's not what we're gonna do now.

You're in a government facility.

What are we...

You're gonna go for a swim,
and I'm gonna get you out.
