What's that?
Causes sleep.
It's like a sleeping pill?
"... used as an anesthetic if given in combination with paracin trichloride... "
"20 cc's of parasolutrine in combination with 6 cc's of paracin given IV produces deep sleep suitable for emergency surgical procedures... no cardiac side effects ... REM activity is surpressed... "
How long does it last?
Three to six hours.
I'll just boost the doses.
What? Wait isn't that dangerous?
How fast does it take effect?
Doesn't say.
What if it takes 20 minutes, Norman? What if it takes an hour? And he can fight it off? We can't afford that.
It's an idea.
Beth
To be on the safe side. I mean
You want to kill him?
Look, it's either him or us, Norman. Another attack, and we go down with this place.
You ever given an injection before.
Thirty years ago. In residency. I passed out. You?
Only lab rats. Here.
I'm sorry.
For what?
Not believing you.
You're not sorry. You're scared. You're a psychologist, Norman. You pride yourself on knowing when someone's lying to you, not telling you the truth. And now you're scared ... because you're not sure you can tell anymore.
What is it, Norman?
Where are you?
In the sub. Resetting the timer. Why?
The sphere looks different.
What do you mean, different?
The grooves around the door they've shifted. And the pattern the fluids they look darker now.
How's Harry?
What was that? I couldn't hear you.
Your watch.
Oh yes, my watch. I almost forgot.
What's wrong, Norman?
I'm feeling better.
Are you?
It's getting cold.
You think I'd really drink that?
You don't think I put something in it, do you?
You put explosives around the habitat, I can't imagine what you'd put in a drink.
I did do that, didn't I?
How do you feel about snakes?
Snakes? What do you mean, exactly?
You know what I mean.
Am I afraid of them? Not during the day. Sea snakes are diurnal. When the sun's out, they don't bite. Fortunately for you, I had on my watch. This is quite good.
What are they doing down here? In the bathroom? Suddenly appearing.
You tell me.
Do you fear them?
Don't you?
Are you manifesting them?
If I was, then I would've had to have gone in the sphere, wouldn't I?
Did you?
What's the phrase "keeping up with the Joneses"?
Why did you go in the sphere, Beth?
Same reason I put explosives around the habitat. For defense. For the power. To protect myself.
Against what? Harry's unconscious. He's not a threat.
No, he isn't.
He can't manifest.
No, he can't.
Then why, Beth? Why go in? Why put out explosives? Why manifest the snakes?
You think I manifested the snakes?
Someone did.
Yes, someone did. But it wasn't me, Norman. It was you. You manifested the snakes.
Beth you're losing it. C'mon.
C'mon what?
You're lying
Am I lying? Are you sure? Are you absolutely sure I'm lying? Then explain to me about the jellyfish. Earlier. Why did we see jellyfish? Harry doesn't fear jellyfish. You do. They're your fear, aren't they?
But
And the snakes? You want to know about the snakes? You saw one outside earlier, didn't you? When you thought I had deserted you you were terrified.
That's when you went in the sphere.
One lonely, terrifying sea snake.
You manifested that, Beth.
Did I? Or was that you? When you were hiding in the bathroom all conspiratorially like you were you became frightened, didn't you? Terrified. Like you were with the snake earlier and suddenly you have snakes slithering all over the floor. You did that, Norman.
You're insane.
Am I? Or am I making so much sense that you're going insane?
I never went in that sphere.
You don't remember you did. But I'm sure you remember running like some fucking hero to get Harry, don't you? You remember that.
Yes.
You remember before you picked him up when you looked up at the sphere, you remember that when the sphere opened? That's right. But you can't remember going inside, can you? No, of course not. Harry couldn't either, could he? "Like everything's on the tip of my tongue", he said.
That's bullshit.
Is it?
Beth, the message said Harry. "My name is Harry". My name isn't Harry.
No, it isn't. Your name is Norman. But your younger brother what was his name? The one who was stung when you were younger. The one that died. The one you couldn't save. What was his name? "Mommy, we're going out to the ocean to go swimming." "But I don't want to go swimming, Norman. I'm scared." "C'mon, <u>Harry</u>, it'll be fine, it'll be fun." You heartless fuck. That's why you're so scared of the water, isn't it?
Shut up, Beth
When you were in that sub and that squid was attacking you are you sure it was the squid that was attacking? Do you know? "I can't get Beth on the radio. I'm in this tiny sub on the bottom of the fucking ocean. All alone. Surrounded by all this water." Was it really the squid that was attacking you, Norman or was it something else one of your fears? You never really saw what it was, did you?
I'm not scaring you, am I Norman? I hope I'm not frightening you. The last thing I want to do is frighten you. You feel okay, don't you?
It's not me, Beth. I swear. It can't be.
"It's not me, Beth. It's not me. It can't be. I'm not doing anything." Just like Harry said before I stabbed him with the needle.
Don't, Beth.
But I have to, Norman.
I promise
Promise what, Norman? Tell me!
Beth
You think I'd belive you? Believe anything you might say now? After you lied to me about telling Barnes about my past. About my problems. My problems. Not yours. Not his. Mine.
Don't, Beth. Please.
It's either this... or I kill you.
It's your choice. Because it's not safe for you to be awake. To be walking around. To be thinking about things.
It's not safe for you to be either.
You think I care? You think I care if I die? Would I put explosives around the habitat set on vibration sensors that can trigger automatically, if I cared about myself? Would I? I've tried twice before, Norman, why wouldn't I try a third time? I'm not thinking about myself No, Norman, I'm thinking about you. Your safety. Protecting you from your own self.
