[ANDY] My name is Andy.
I sometimes see my
physical appearance, voice,
and thoughts differently,
changing, shifting like a chameleon.
It probably has something to
do with all the brainwashing
the Russian government did to me.
I wanted a normal life.
But Duncan Reinstein took that from me.
- This is my story.
- (DOG BARKING)
(DRAMATIC MUSIC)
(TAILGATE BANGS)
Andy, enjoy your bus
ride tomorrow. (LAUGHS)
- Buddy, what's your problem?
- Look at his hands.
[PASSENGER] Are you okay?
[PASSENGER] Yo, driver.
[PASSENGER] Does he need
help? We need some help!
[DRIVER] What did you do back there?
Driver, pull over, let this man off.
(PASSENGERS CLAMORING)
[PASSENGER] Keep your
hands out of your pockets!
Keep your hands out
of your pockets please!
[WOMAN] We have a man that's hurt!
Hello?
- Driver?
- Driver!
[PASSENGER] What's wrong with him?
(OMINOUS MUSIC)
(SIRENS WAILING)
Excuse me, driver. Can
you open up the back doors?
No.
(PASSENGERS CLAMORING)
Ladies and gentlemen, the
police are on their way.
[WOMAN] This man back
here is covered with blood!
(BUS ENGINE WHIRRING)
Excuse me, driver?
Can you open up the back doors?
- He wants the back door open.
- Get off the bus!
(PASSENGERS SHRIEKING)
We are responding to a
suspicious person report..
[DRIVER] Yes, this is him right here.
You're covered in what
appears to be blood.
Is this a medical emergency?
Come with us. Let's go.
Come on, son, you're not being arrested.
We're just gonna detain
you for questioning.
We might pat you down
for our own safety.
- You understand?
- Yes, sir.
Okay, right now, son,
we're gonna go to the car,
and we're gonna pat
you down. You with me?
- I do.
- Okay, come on this way.
What's your name, son?
Well, you might not believe me,
but when I woke up moments ago,
I don't remember who I am
or why or how I'm covered in blood.
But according to my
license, my name is Andy.
Andy? Okay, Andy, I understand.
Go and step over here.
Put your hands on the hood, son.
We're gonna pat you down.
You're not under arrest.
This is for our own protection
till we're satisfied
on the circumstances.
If you find an ID why
don't you give it to me?
(LIPS SMACKING)
What's in your pockets?
Huh?
He doesn't look too much like a threat.
What do you think?
He's got nothing on him.
Put him in the back here.
There you go.
Go ahead, take it.
Okay this way
[ANDY] I had a wife.
I had a family and a name.
Everything has changed.
I was a failed experiment
by the Russian government.
Sometimes it's hard to
distinguish dreams from reality.
This all started after
I placed employment
with an IT company adjacent
from Red Star Telecommunications.
I worked as a technical support agent
for an insurance company in
Hartford, Hartford, Connecticut.
Some will call us computer
nerds or computer geeks.
It was my passion, and
I loved helping people.
My best friend Jackary Austin
worked with me at the call center.
Hey, like the ponytail.
- Nice look.
- Thank you, Veronica, you know,
I just wanted to change my look.
So Andy, what's going on this weekend?
Um, I'm having a Super Bowl
party. You guys should come.
[VERONICA] Who's coming?
I'm gonna have Dawn and you guys,
maybe some of Nora's friends
and the neighbors come over.
I haven't officially
announced anything yet.
Where's Dawn?
[ANDY] Uh, she called out again.
What? Just last week,
she called out twice,
and was left early, I think, one day.
She won't tell me what's wrong.
Andy can get it out of her,
since he got the hots for
Dawn, and we all can see that.
- Come on, stop.
- (VERONICA CHUCKLES)
You know I'm married.
[VERONICA] When's the party, Andy?
Uh, it's gonna be Sunday,
four o'clock at my house.
[JACKARY] Should I bring anything?
Yeah, lots of beer.
Okay, I'll bring water,
just the way you like your beer.
(CHUCKLES) Tasteless and watered down.
(VERONICA CHUCKLES)
Yeah, just like my taste in friends.
Oh, what I think Andy really means
is that everyone else
should come except Jackary.
(ANDY LAUGHS)
Really, Veronica?
(CHUCKLES) You know?
[ANDY] All right, I'm gonna get
going. I'm gonna do a house call.
Um, Jackary, can you lock up for me?
On conditions.
Oh, what now?
You're drinking real beer
and not that water crap.
(ANDY LAUGHS) Okay, okay,
I see where this is going.
You just want me to get buzzed,
so I can flirt with Dawn, right?
[JACKARY] So you mean it?
- (VERONICA CHUCKLES)
- You got the hots for Dawn.
[ANDY] Stop.
Hello?
Hello?
Hello, Mr. Levingston.
My name is Vladimir.
I am one of the co-founders
of Red Star Telecommunications.
- [HERMAN] Well.
- [VLADIMIR] Nice to meet you, sir.
Nice to meet you, too.
Thank you for coming by.
Follow me to my office.
I received your phone call
about meeting you in person.
Now, I typically don't
meet with businesses,
but Mr. Reinstein has donated
to my clinic in the past.
That given, what can I do
for you or Mr. Reinstein?
Well, I would like to offer
your clinic a sizable donation,
because we believe you
do very important work.
[HERMAN] Oh, oh, this,
this is way too much money.
Uh, I can't accept this.
[VLADIMIR] What do you mean?
You do notice the check
is made out to your name,
and not your clinic name, right?
Oh, that's right.
Uh, why is that?
I need you to do something for me.
It's a personal favor.
You see the person in this picture?
His name is Andy.
He is a patient of yours.
Do you recognize him?
Yes, yes, (STAMMERING)
I I this is Andy, yes.
I need you to tell him he
has cancer on his next visit.
I don't care what kind
of doctor jargon you use.
You must deliver him to this address.
This address.
I've enclosed the details.
You'll do this for me, yes?
You understand I could lose
my entire practice over this?
What if I say no?
This is not a negotiation!
You will do this for
me, 'cause if you don't,
I'll be at your son Billy's
next soccer practice.
Let's just say people will
adore him in a foreign country.
Is that what you want?
I'm not going to repeat myself!
Am I clear?
(HERMAN GASPING)
Yes.
Good, very good.
After you deliver the fake news,
you will report back here
immediately to discuss.
Then, I will hand you this check.
Agreed?
(STAMMERS) Agreed.
All right, you notice those x-rays?
Take a look at those.
You notice that the dark-
and light-shaded areas
on the brain pictures?
Well, there's no getting around it.
You have a level IV
glioblastoma brain cancer.
Do you hear what I said?
Do you need some time?
[ANDY] No, no, doc, I
heard you the first time.
What, what does stage IV mean?
And how much time do I have?
All right, let me explain, Andy.
A glioblastoma is a very
aggressive brain tumor.
It's also known as a
glioblastoma multiform.
Now it's one of a group of
tumors known as astrocytomas.
- (ANDY WHIMPERING)
- Now these tumors start out as astrocytes,
which are star-shaped
cells that help nourish
and support nerve cells,
or neurons, in your brain.
They're graded on a scale of I to IV,
depending on how they look,
how they differ from other brain cells.
The grade or level
also indicates how fast
these tumors are likely
to grow and spread.
A level IV tumor is the fastest
and most aggressive type.
(HERMAN SIGHS)
The median survival rate, Andy,
for the patients with these tumors
is normally about 15 or 16 months,
depending on how you
respond from surgery,
radiotherapy, or chemotherapy.
The median, meaning
about half, of patients
for this type of tumor will
survive for this length of time.
(HERMAN SIGHS) Look, there
may however possibly be a means
by which this tumor can be cured
and that your health can
be restored permanently.
[ANDY] Doc, that's, that's great news.
Tell me what it is.
Well, it's an experimental lab
that's been treating patients
for this type of tumor.
Unfortunately, there is
a potential issue here,
in that, because it's experimental,
it's not covered by
private health insurance.
And the starting fee for getting
treatment here is $15,000.
Now, there is a small
waiting list, unfortunately,
and you don't have much
time to make up your mind.
I wish I had better news
for you, Andy, I really do.
I'm so sorry.
Look, if there's anything
that I can do for you,
or anything that my
office can do for you,
please don't hesitate to call me
anytime in the day or night.
[ANDY] Doc, what is the address?
Oh, well, sure, I can
give it to you right away.
Is Rebecca here today?
This package keeps ringing.
(PHONE RINGING)
No, she's out. Let me find out.
- Hello?
- Is Rebecca in today?
No, sorry, Rebecca's out today.
[WOMAN ON PHONE] Are you
familiar with Duncan Reinstein?
Yes, I'm familiar with him.
[WOMAN ON PHONE]
Is anybody else available
- to review these contents today?
- There's Veronica here.
She's been working on the
case with Rebecca Haines.
Give Veronica the contents,
and she'll know what to do with them.
And make sure Rebecca
is involved. That's it.
- (HAND KNOCKING)
- Come in.
- Hi, Dr. Blazer, how are you?
- Hi, Natasha, how are you?
I just had a few questions
about Project Chameleon.
What side effects
should we be expecting?
Well, with the usual patients
who are receiving chemotherapy,
we expect nausea,
vomiting, risk of infection.
However, with Project Chameleon,
the side effects are a little different.
What we need to expect
are seizures, nosebleeds,
bleeding through the eyes,
ears, and especially big bruises.
So make sure you tell the
patient to expect these things.
Okay. Thank you.
You're welcome. Anything
else I can do for you?
That'll be all.
Great, if you need any help,
just you're always welcome.
- Perfect, thank you, Doctor.
- Hey, Barry, before I play the DVD,
I just want to get your
opinion on something.
Have you ever had a real Cuban cigar?
Once in 1982 when I visited
Cuba. Why do you ask?
- Oh, I have one in my office.
- For me?
[VERONICA] Yeah, I can go get it now.
- That'd be great.
- [VERONICA] Great.
(DOOR CLICKING)
Are you sucking up to me, Veronica?
I know we've had our
differences in the past,
and I know how important
this story is to you, as well.
Yes, I'll take the cigar.
But I will say this.
I will only judge your case
by the facts. (BARRY SNIFFS)
And let it be known that this
will not outweigh my decision.
Are we clear?
[VERONICA] Yes, thank you.
Let me present my facts,
and I think this case
is gonna blow our
ratings through the roof.
I'll admit I'm interested. Do tell.
[VERONICA] Okay, so do you remember
the name Duncan Reinstein?
He evaded the FBI back in 1992,
and then again law enforcement in 2002.
Well, guess what? I think he's back.
And I think he's up to no good.
You're a tenacious reporter,
but as you know, we need
to have a good foundation,
and what you're telling
me is assumptions.
And I'm assuming you have more to show.
- Let's watch the DVD.
- Welcome to Red Star Telecommunications.
My name is Tatiana. How may I help you?
[PATIENT] Yes, my doctor
referred me to you.
I don't really have the cash needed,
but I was wondering if you
guys have a payment plan.
(MYSTERIOUS MUSIC)
So that's Vladimir
Look into my eyes. Do
you like what you see?
[PATIENT] I'll follow the red sheep.
Okay, have a seat and fill this out.
Fill out this form.
It is to consent us
doing treatment on you.
And you'll be staying here
for about three months.
(DVD PLAYER CLATTERING)
[DUNCAN] Vladimir, do you
think Andy was convinced?
[VLADIMIR] Of course
Andy believed the doctor.
He was very convincing delivering
the fake news of brain cancer.
Brain cancer.
Vladimir.
Hey, I got a new recruit.
He's seeing red.
Let me introduce you to
Vladimir, keeper of the sheep.
Hmm.
Hi, my name is Vladimir.
You're in good hands.
- Are you all set?
- Yeah.
Good.
We are going downstairs
to room number six.
Follow me, please.
You know what this means, Barry.
So I can see why you
think there's a connection
between the telecommunications
company and the doctor,
but what do they discuss?
Well, the doctor must've been paid off
to deliver fake news to Andy.
And Andy must be important
to Red Star Communications.
But why?
- Who's your source?
- The informant.
Really? That's their name?
Who's their source?
Have you ever met them before?
Read this.
Go to Elm Park tomorrow,
December 15th at 12 pm.
Sit on the park bench
facing the northwest side
facing the flowers.
You'll know it's me, as
I'll say, "It's so cold.
It feels like snow is coming."
You should reply, "Yeah,
I think I saw a snowflake."
Come alone.
The informant.
Welcome to Red Star Telecommunications.
My name is Tatiana. How may I help you?
Hi, I was referred by
Dr. Herman Levingston
for a treatment at the facility.
Look into my eyes. Do
you like what you see?
Wow, they're so green
and really beautiful,
but they're might be something wrong.
There's a little bit of red there.
Thanks, yeah, I have some sort of
medical condition that causes this,
for my eyes to change
colors from time to time.
Is there anything I can do for you?
Ah, yes, I'm interested in treatment.
Um, would you be able
to come back tomorrow?
And that way, you can talk
to Vladimir personally.
Okay, definitely.
- [TATIANA] Awesome, thanks.
- Thank you.
Hmm.
(PHONE RINGING)
Hello?
[TATIANA] It didn't work.
Your eyes didn't hypnotize
him like the other clients?
[TATIANA] No, he's different.
Of course he is different.
Why do you think Duncan
Reinstein wants him so bad?
[TATIANA] So who is Andy?
Before your time, the shapeshifter met
with Anton Tvardovsky
a long, long time ago.
Have you ever heard of Anton?
[TATIANA] No, who is Anton?
And why is Andy so important to Duncan?
[VLADIMIR] We offered to pay
Anton huge amounts of money.
He was different, and we all knew that.
He started to talk with the
government and had a son.
We decided to make his
death look like an accident.
Andy is now our new main focal point.
I didn't realize we had another
hypnosis experiment on our side.
I was told I was the first.
Anyways, what happened to Anna?
(VLADIMIR SIGHS)
We consider you the first,
because she betrayed us.
She was feeding information to the CIA,
a story for another day.
Lets just say, she swam with
the fishes and yet to be found.
Serves her right.
But really, you played
the NSA card on Anton?
You're the shadiest
looking person I know.
And you have a Russian accent.
An eight-year-old wouldn't even believe
you're with the government.
It doesn't matter!
We have a new purpose now.
Andy will be ours.
The good doctor convinced
him he has cancer.
We will begin to give him
treatments, or so he will think.
I will earn his trust by
telling him the fake story
of the son I never had.
(CHUCKLES) Everyone falls
for that bullshit story
of spending time with someone.
Okay, enough talking.
We have work to do.
(UFO WHIRRING)
(WATER SPLASHES)
(INSECTS CHIRRING)
Look at the stupid Americans.
(VLADIMIR LAUGHS)
Take a look for yourself.
Like old times.
Yes.
(SPEAKING IN RUSSIAN LANGUAGE)
(GUNSHOT POPS)
(WOMAN GROANING)
What the hell?
What the hell is going on here?
Where did that come from
(LEAVES RUSTLING)
There, there.
(VLADIMIR GRUNTING)
Good.
Another alien species
for our experiments.
Duncan will be very, very proud.
(SPEAKING IN RUSSIAN LANGUAGE)
Okay.
How are you, dear?
Well, I'm able to move things
with my mind. That's what.
Let me guess. You're going
to rip out my intestines
and eat them in front of me?
No, that'll be too simple.
Guess you have to wait and see.
I've never hated you.
You must understand
what we are doing here
is for a greater purpose.
After we have mastered
the perfect DNA splicing,
we are going to make an
unstoppable army of special forces
for the Russian Federation Army.
And most importantly,
we're going to do right here
in the U.S. with your tax dollars.
Don't you want to be a God?
(SPEAKING IN RUSSIAN LANGUAGE) Fuck you!
We are going to return
within 30 minutes,
and you can practice
again on the lights.
(FOOTSTEPS THUDDING)
(OMINOUS MUSIC)
(ELECTRICITY BUZZING)
(UPBEAT MUSIC)
[CANDY] Hey, Ricky.
I know you have the hots for me.
I see how you look when
you are cleaning my room.
Candy, is that you, my love?
Are you in my head?
(SIGHS) Oh my
[CANDY] Yes, that's me.
I'm in the lab.
Come and fuck me.
I haven't been fucked for two years
since these lab rats kept me
prisoner for the past two years.
I'm coming, my sweet pretty.
(FOOTSTEPS TAPPING)
Are you okay? Look at me.
Come drop your pants
and unstrap my legs.
You don't have to ask me twice.
(MAN BREATHING)
I've wanted this so long.
Oh my God, your legs and body.
I've wanted this for so long. Oh my God.
My God, oh.
(UPBEAT MUSIC)
I wanted this my, so long.
I want every part of you.
- I've waited.
- Till now ♪
Oh my God, I just want, I just want it.

Why the fuck did you
do this in my building..
You know, I am not happy.
You are supposed to be experiment.
Look what you did to my janitor.
I am not happy.
You've been naughty.
(GUNSHOT)
You've been exterminated.
Duncan, the president
from South Africa is here.
- Ah.
- [VLADIMIR] Welcome, sir.
Cecil, it is good to see you again.
Have a seat.
It's been a long time, huh?
It's been, what? Four years?
Yes.
And I've forgiven what you did.
I come in peace to come to terms.
(DUNCAN LAUGHS)
You still hold me responsible
for your daughter's rape, huh?
Listen, just because
a deal wasn't reached,
I'm not one of these
guys to send a message.
If I wanted to send a message,
you'd be dead. Believe me.
(DUNCAN CHUCKLES)
You never change.
You think that because
I rule South Africa,
I am ignorant, corrupt, and dishonest.
Look into my eyes.
I am here today to make a deal.
It is not negotiable.
It is my best deal.
Don't think twice about saying no.
Cecil, Cecil, there are many things
that you should not do,
especially when you're in my house.
You never threaten
me, because if you do,
you better be prepared to kill me.
Otherwise, your whole
family will suffer.
I don't want that.
(SCOFFS) I've seen you brought
your poor excuse of a bodyguard.
I've bitch-slapped bigger
guys than him. (CHUCKLES)
If you disrespect the president again,
- or myself
- Hey, hey. Hey, back off.
I'll have your fucking head
- cut on the table.
- Gentlemen, gentlemen.
Many have lost their head.
Now that we've gotten
to know each other,
let's get to business, shall we?
[DUNCAN] I'm listening.
I understand you want to buy
a facility in South Africa.
You want proper paperwork
and government backing
for your lab and fake company, yes?
Yes, cash deal right now.
In this envelope, that
is the amount it will take
for us to be successful in South Africa.
For building, for protection,
for five years.
(DUNCAN CHUCKLING)
Cecil
Lets see.
90 million African,
that's roughly, what?
6.3 million U.S. dollars.
My offer is $5 million.
And you better agree. Otherwise,
this is not gonna end nice.
Fuck you.
(CECIL GRUMBLES)
[DUNCAN] What the fuck?
[DIMITRI] You raise that blade again.
- (MAN YELLS)
- (MAN GROANS)
- Ha, I told you, stupid.
- Get him.
You piece of shit.
Now you die, motherfucker.
(MAN GRUNTS)
Come on!
(BLOWS THUDDING)
Fuck you!
(CECIL SCREAMING)
[VLADIMIR] You will
never pull this again.
(MAN SCREAMS)
(CECIL YELLING)
Bitch!
[VLADIMIR] I hope you
learned your lesson.
I told you not to fuck
with me in my house.
Look, I'm not a bad guy.
In fact, I'm not gonna
let you bleed to death.
Vladimir, get me the blowtorch.
Yes.
I'm gonna cauterize your wound.
[CECIL] No, no, no, please.
And well, let's make, let's let this be
in remembrance of our discussion, huh?
[CECIL] No, no, please.
You are gonna take
the rest of the money,
and we are gonna do
business in South Africa.
Is that crystal fucking clear?
(WHIMPERING) Yes, sir.
I look forward to our partnership.
I will be in touch, two weeks.
Please, please
[DUNCAN] You better.
Otherwise, that rape of your daughter,
that'll be the least of your worries.
When I have her brought back here again,
I am gonna have such
a good time with her.
And I'm gonna video tape it too.
And I'm gonna cut one of her fingers
each and every single day,
and I'll mail it to you.
Hey, when she runs out of
fingers, we'll work on her toes.
Please, please.
[DUNCAN] Don't you even think
about screwing over us with this.
I won't, I won't, I won't do that.
- Hold him down.
- No, please, no, no!
- No, no, please, no!
- Hold him steady.
No, no!
- (CECIL SCREAMING)
- (DUNCAN LAUGHING)
[DUNCAN] Now get the fuck out of here.
Yes, sir. Yes, sir.
[DUNCAN] We'll clean up your bodyguard
and his Goddamn mess.
[DIMITRI] Fucking dog.
(CECIL WHIMPERING)
Yeah, I need you here in 20 minutes.
One dead body, and my
office is covered in blood.
Done.
(DUNCAN SIGHS)
I've heard Andy is a special specimen.
So I've compounded a new injection.
What's different this time?
The intent.
By blending and splicing
chameleon DNA and alien DNA,
we can make Andy blend
like a real chameleon.
I'm calling this Project Chameleon.
Outstanding.
But the other project, it
take four to eight weeks
in order for him to have a change.
Will it take the same time?
No.
Well, what sort of side effects?
We will see these between
one to three weeks.
Side effects may include
nosebleeds, blurred vision,
paranoia, hallucinations, hostility,
depression, premonitions,
and mood disturbances.
If this is successful,
the Russian Federation Army
will plan on doing two
to three soldier trials.
Imagine having soldiers
who cannot be seen.
This will be huge advantage.
Vladimir will be bringing
Andy down later today.
We all must see that
the irregular experiments
are out of the laboratory and silent.
Gayle, make sure we
use general anesthesia,
and tape their mouths
shut as a precaution.
Also, use the shackles.
I'll get the security
team to take care of it
and any necessary arrangements.
As of today, Andy is the most
important thing in this lab.
And he's gonna be having
a lot of questions.
And we can't have
another messy situation
where Vladimir is just
cleaning up bodies.
Experiment mind was a fluke.
She became aggressive.
Therefore, we must use junkies,
people off the street
that no one will miss.
Yeah, yeah, I know.
I got my friends from the
New York mob working on that.
But back to Andy, I want a
daily update on his progress,
plus whatever questions he may have.
Is that understood?
- Yes.
- Yes, sir.
(PHONE CHIRPS)
Hello?
Duncan, we have a problem.
A problem that you can't handle?
Well, this should be good.
It's Dr. Vadim.
He's been drinking on the job again
and is passed out downstairs again.
The problem is Andy will be
showing up sometime today.
And Dr. Vadim is primary
scientist assigned to Andy.
Remember?
That motherfucker.
It's only two o'clock in the afternoon.
Shit, you know, never
trust a doctor who spends
more time on his back than his patients.
(VLADIMIR CHUCKLES)
Yes, yes.
But real American doctors
are stuck-up pricks
and are not loyal to Russia.
Ain't that the truth?
Listen, inform Dr. Natasha
about the situation.
And, um, you know, update her
on the Andy situation as well.
Also, have her bring an assistant
with her when she comes in.
Okay, that's all, Vladimir.
(FOOTSTEPS THUDDING)
[ANDY] Hi again. I'm
here to see Vladimir.
Hey, welcome back, Andy.
Let me give him a call.
He's been waiting for you.
[ANDY] Okay.
Vladimir? Andy's here.
Okay. You can have a seat.
- Thank you.
- He'll be right out.
(CLOCK TICKING)
Andy, so nice to meet you.
Hello, nice to meet you too.
Yes.
My name is Vladimir.
I am the founder of this lab.
We operate directly below
Red Star Telecommunications.
Follow me please.
(GENTLE MUSIC)
(SINGING IN FOREIGN LANGUAGE)
Well, please, have a seat.
Make yourself comfortable.
Thank you.
I have some bad news for you though.
I didn't wanna call and tell
you over the phone of it.
I'm listening.
It's insurance, they're
not gonna cover it.
And I was able to save
up some of the money.
I have brought 2,500.
And I'm hopeful that maybe we can come
to some type of agreement for the rest.
Yes, of course.
We will be signing a few
consent forms shortly, and
Please, read them over.
And I will return shortly
after you sign them
with the good doctors.
- Okay.
- Okay?
Can I get you something to drink?
[ANDY] Um, no thank you.
[VLADIMIR] Andy, what's wrong?
[ANDY] I'm just a little bit nervous.
Andy, don't be.
You are in good hands.
Thank you, but I'll pass.
[VLADIMIR] Okay.
- Andy, are you all set?
- Yes, I am.
Great, thank you.
Have a seat. Relax.
Andy, I'd like to introduce
our team of experts.
On my left is Gayle.
Her specialty is cell biologist.
On my right is Dr. Natasha.
And specialty is oncologist
doctor, study of cancer,
as well as research scientist.
I'll be right back, Andy.
Andy, we help patients
like you every day.
We're happy to assist you.
[ANDY] Thank you, I'm
ready to get better.
Andy, it is an honor to
have you in our facility.
Our number one priority is safety.
So let's go over some ground rules,
so we have an understanding.
- Sound okay?
- Okay.
Okay? Okay.
So, uh, you will be
going through treatments
for the first two to three weeks.
During this time, you will
receive an injection once a day.
You will also experiencing
some side effects, I'm afraid.
Side effects? Um, what
kind of side effects?
You will encounter nosebleeds,
blurred vision, paranoia, hostility,
mood swings, and the
bruises will be severe.
[ANDY] Um, I haven't told my wife
and family about this yet.
I suggest you tell your
wife about the cancer,
the treatments, and
the side effects soon.
[ANDY] Okay, I will.
Okay.
Andy, the initial
injection will be painful.
So we are encouraged to
put you out. Is that okay?
Um, I don't know. I'd rather not.
I'd prefer to know what's
going on with my body.
[NATASHA] I'm afraid you have no choice.
Gayle?

[CAMERAMAN] We're
behind the scenes again.
We have Fred George coming in
here. We have bloody briefcase.
George, say hello, what
do you think about today
- with your bloody hand here?
- Hey, George.
[CAMERAMAN] What do you
think? You look so happy.
He looks so happy.
- Hey, you look like a cherry.
This hurts like hell.
Does anybody have a Band-Aid?
- [CAMERAMAN] Well, Liberty's the one responsible.
- Hey!
[CAMERAMAN] So she's the
one that did this Band-Aid

- Oh boy.
- My hand's falling off.
- Yeah, see?
Move it around like that.
- All around the sides.
- Okay, so this knife

- [TOMMY] This cut his hand?
- Yes, it did.
- And it hurts.
- Are you in pain?
- No.
(ALL LAUGH)
- I mean, yes, yes.
- Honestly, I think he's
in a little more pain
than Roman here, obviously.
I mean, Roman only got me
with a couple baseball bats.
Oh yeah, Roman got me hardcore.
Took half his arm off.
- Oh yeah, definitely.
- Go like that.
- Yeah.
- Just hold it to the side.
- But I'll have to say.
- Broken on that side.
- Oh, okay.
- I really enjoyed it though,
- cutting his hand.
- You do this or you do that.
- [NICKY] I enjoyed helping you.
- This is so real.
[NICKY] I really enjoyed
[TOMMY] That's a good soldering test.
Putting a knife through
that fucking bodyguard.
- Soldering.
- That felt really good.
- He's a real piece of shit.
- Oh yeah.
[CAMERAMAN] Hey bodyguard, what
do you have to say about that?
- [BODYGUARD] It was good. It was good, it was good.
- (ALL LAUGHING)
He's hiding behind Fred this time.
There he is.
I'll punch him in the face.
