The Deleted

I can see why you picked this place.

It's beautiful.

It's okay.

We were never gonna stay here for long.

I love staring out at the ocean.

It's so calming.

You know I'd never seen the ocean before?

Not as a child.

Not at the institute. This is the first time.

I had no idea.

I love the waves.

Just staring at them...

calms me down.

Calms you down about what?

I've been thinking about how people have different... needs...

different reasons for existing.

Being confronted with what I want,

not being what you want,

not being what someone else wants.

It just...

surprised me.

You were surprised by that?

I suppose what I'm trying to say is,

I never had a desire to leave the institute,

disregard everything I've learned, abandon all my friends.

I never felt the need to just leave and take 60 people with me.

Everything you've learned.

What have you learned there, Parker?

Well, it helped me.

I felt protected by it, elevated by it.

And the institute teaches a freedom that does not exist out here.

Can you stop calling it an institute?

It's a cult. It's a fucking cult.

You know, it's strange.

Kevin had told me to do whatever it takes...

to get you and bring you back.

"Whatever it takes," he said. Then the other night, you just...

you just waltz in as if it's another ordinary day.

"Whatever it takes." Sometimes I wonder what that means.

He was probably giving you permission to kill me.

So at what point did you decide to leave the program?

I'd be dead if I hadn't left the program.

Why are you being so dramatic and negative?

Honestly, I don't understand...

No, you don't understand, all right?

I would've slit my own fucking throat

if I'd be there any longer, all right?

Instead you're what?

What are you?

Where are you? Out here you're nothing.

In LA, you're going nowhere.

You have no one.

So why did you do this?

If you're here to take me back,

or reprogram me or whatever it is, man,

just don't-don't drag it. Just-just kill me.

Drag what out?

Why-why do you think someone wants to kill you?

Did you ever hear about... Tier Four?

- It was part of the institute. - Tier Four?

No, I don't know. What is that?

It was located in Seattle.

Only a few people knew about it.

It was supposed to be kept a secret.

Secret why?

Certain things happened in Tier Four that didn't happen in the compound.

Did you really never hear about this?

No.
