Clips from The OA - Forking Paths (S01E01)

"I remember. This is different. This..."
The OA
"I mean, quite apart from the intellectual rigor, the..."
The OA
"- the physical labor... - Endless."
The OA
"...and the need to maintain the ecosystem to support the..."
The OA
"Test subjects?"
The OA
"...there's the guilt, some days."
The OA
"Don't you find? Guilt?"
The OA
"A given."
The OA
"Huh. Looks exactly the same as the old one."
The OA
"I needed a bigger space to fit the new capacity."
The OA
"I thought it would be difficult to find,"
The OA
"but, really, this entire wing of the hospital is dead."
The OA
"A janitor comes in on Thursdays, and I simply lock the door."
The OA
"Where are the subjects?"
The OA
"In the next room."
The OA
"So... the other day I found myself feeling, uh... resentful."
The OA
"They... have this tribalism that sustains them somehow."
The OA
"- Uh, is this clean? - Yeah."
The OA
"Rituals. Mutilation."
The OA
"Attempts to explain existence, to control pain."
The OA
"Yeah, I know all that, but I still..."
The OA
"I couldn't help feeling outside of it all, somehow."
The OA
"You are on the outside. Stay there."
The OA
"Well, I mean, in some ways we work together, no?"
The OA
"Lab partners go home at night. Subjects sleep in the experiment."
The OA
"How do you not get attached?"
The OA
"I enforce turnover. You know this."
The OA
"Potassium chloride. Then into the incinerator."
The OA
"Another perk of having my lab in a hospital."
The OA
"It changes everything. Trust me."
The OA
"I realize that our work is, uh..."
The OA
"about a paradigm shift."
The OA
"Like Copernicus' revelations that..."
The OA
"that Earth is not at the center of the solar system."
The OA
"- Mmm. - Life is not at the center of..."
The OA
"- human existence. - Mmm."
The OA
"But I can't help wondering if Copernicus, the man, not the scientist..."
The OA
"if he would have pursued that truth..."
The OA
"if his work involved... experimenting on human beings."
The OA
"Here's the terrible, beautiful truth."
The OA
"No one cares."
The OA
"There is no line between good and evil. There's only what a man can stand."
The OA
"Runtgen killed his own wife discovering the X-ray."
The OA
"My advice?"
The OA
"Uncover what you can, destroy the evidence..."
The OA
"and turn a profit before you can no longer forget how you've done it."
The OA
"You should know..."
The OA
"- Really? - Maybe a year, year-and-a-half,"
The OA
"and I'll be able to offer incontrovertible proof of an afterlife."
The OA
"What do you mean by that? "Afterlife"?"
The OA
"Nothing spiritual. More like a..."
The OA
"a greater reality, another dimension."
The OA
"Imagine the worldwide sigh of relief when I reveal that the answer to death"
The OA
"is more life?"
The OA
"I will reshape the world in a single click the day I publish."
The OA
"Do you have an opposing theory?"
The OA
"Come on, Hap."
The OA
"Friction improves the work."
The OA
"I think it's multiple."
The OA
"The Many-Worlds theory?"
The OA
"Well, no, not exactly."
The OA
"More like, uh, reality forking off into a different path."
The OA
"No, look..."
The OA
"imagine a garden of forking paths."
The OA
"So, my subjects have touched on them in their NDEs, but now..."
The OA
"now, Leon, they are uncovering a technology of movement"
The OA
"that-that could allow them to travel to different dimensions,"
The OA
"maybe even stay there."
The OA
"And what's..."
The OA
"What's really exciting is that I think I know where they go."
The OA
"Maybe even what we're all a part of."
The OA
"Where do they go?"
The OA
"Well, I don't wanna say yet."
The OA
"I mean, I don't know for sure. I wanna... I wanna go there first."
The OA
"I could give a shit about profit, with respect."
The OA
"I just, I want..."
The OA
"God, I want to taste the truth. I just wanna walk out of the dark."
The OA
"God, I'm sorry, I'm getting carried away. It's probably all bullshit,"
The OA
"and you're right and our work will spur each other on."
The OA
"And then some young, smart, better person than us will come along."
The OA
"And he, or she, probably, will..."
The OA
"They'll be the one to build on our back-breaking work,"
The OA
"and switch the light on. Right?"
The OA
"It's science. So it goes."
The OA
"Your confidence in your work makes me proud."
The OA
"can I share something unusual with you?"
The OA
"- Please. - Come."
The OA
"The cold chamber, on the far wall. Open it."
The OA
"- Which one? - In the center, number 20."
The OA
"What am I looking at?"
The OA
"Where are your subjects traveling to?"
The OA
"What have you uncovered, Hap?"
The OA
"What are you doing, Leon?"
The OA
"Tell me!"
The OA
"I can't."
The OA
"Leon, put it down."
The OA
"You're not gonna..."
The OA
"Tell me!"
The OA
"All my fucking work."
The OA
"My life!"
The OA
"Leon, just stop!"
The OA
"Oh, fuck."
The OA
"Call the police."
The OA
"Give them that for access to the abandoned morgue."
The OA
"There are people there that need help."
The OA
"Sir?"
The OA
"I hope you know I've always thought of you,"
The OA
"well, all of you as collaborators, but..."
The OA
"you, most of all, I like to think of as a partner."
The OA
"Don't."
The OA
"And I know we're both worried about the same thing."
The OA
"Will we ever find the fifth movement?"
The OA
"One of us will get it."
The OA
"And what then? What will you do with it?"
The OA
"You and Homer will live fat, free and happy"
The OA
"in some different version of this world?"
The OA
"You don't want that."
The OA
"You'll always be the girl willing to risk everything"
The OA
"I know you, Prairie. He'll never understand that about you."
The OA
"I have a proposal for you."
