'''Jonas:''' (''Jonas is filming himself in his truck.'') Look, I've been-I've been angry lately. When I get angry, I do stupid things. Like, really stupid things. I still can't believe those fuckers came to my house and taped me yesterday. (''Cuts to filming a semi in the reflection of his side mirror.'') Ever since I saw the video, I just can't -- I can't sleep, I can't focus on anything else, and I --- I started thinking about the way my life was, you know, the way it used to be. A long time ago. (''Cuts to blurred shots out car window.'') Before all of this. Don't get me wrong, I do not trust these [[Claire|Resistance people]]. Not at all. (''Cuts back to Jonas in the vehicle.'') But, I figure if they can find my parents, then-- (''Cuts to shot of the outside of Jonas's parents house.'') What's the harm in me coming to talk to them, right? Oh, um, oh, also, I just really want to thank everyone out there from the bottom of my heart for helping me crack that -- that code from the Resistance video. I wouldn't be here without you. So, thank you.

'''Jonas:''' (''The front of Jonas's parent's house is seen.'') Woo. Ok! Ahem. Ok. Ok. I can do this. Woo. Here we go. (''Jonas enters through the gate.'') I can do this. Just gimme a minute. Fuck it. (''Rings doorbell.'') Ok, there's no going back now. Woo. Oh, man. Maybe they're not -- (''Door opens.'') Hi, dad. It's me, it's Jonas.

'''Jonas's mom:''' Sweetie, who's there?

'''Jonas's dad:''' I think he has the wrong address.

'''Jonas:''' Mom...

'''Jonas's mom:''' Is there -- Can we help you with something?

'''Jonas's dad:''' Just call the police.

'''Jonas's mom:''' Uh, can we help you?

'''Jonas:''' They don't remember me. (''Cuts to Jonas inside their house. His parents are whispering to each other behind him.'') Nothing. Uh -- Least they ... They invited me in. But, you know what? Here's the weird thing: my mom has this picture of me from when I was a kid. I know that she knows who I am somewhere, somewhere deep down. I know she knows who I am. Even if she doesn't remember exactly. I can just -- I can just feel it. (''Looks behind at his parents who are hugging each other.'') Ha. Ha. This is -- This is amazing.

'''Jonas's mom:''' Jonas?

'''Jonas:''' Yeah?

'''Jonas's mom:''' There's someone I'd like you to meet.

'''Jonas:''' Uh, okay.

'''Jonas's mom:''' Come on. (''She leads him to a room with music blasting from the inside. She knocks.'') Em? Emma? Can I come in?

'''Jonas:''' It's okay.

'''Jonas's mom:''' Can -- Can you just wait here a minute?

'''Jonas:''' Yeah, yeah.

'''Jonas's mom:''' Just one moment.

'''Jonas:''' Sure.

'''Jonas's mom:''' I'll be right back.

'''Jonas:''' I'll be here.

'''Jonas's mom:''' Ha, ha. OK.

(''She enters the room. Jonas takes a glance at the camera. The door opens once more.'')

'''Jonas:''' Hey.

'''Jonas's mom:''' You can come in now.

'''Jonas:''' Really?

'''Jonas's mom:''' Yeah. She's waiting.

'''Jonas:''' Thank you.

'''Jonas's mom:''' You're welcome.

'''Jonas:''' (''laughs'') Hi.

'''Jonas:''' Hi. I'm -- I'm Jonas.

'''Emma:''' I'm Emma.

'''Jonas:''' Emma, nice to meet you.

'''Emma:''' Nice to meet you.

'''Jonas:''' So ... What?

'''Emma:''' (''Points to camera.'') Well, why do you have a camera?

'''Jonas:''' It's a long story. Um, I'll tell you later.

'''Emma:''' Ok. (''They both laugh.'') Um, this is really weird for me. Um, oh my God. I have a brother. Who's holding a camera.

'''Jonas:''' I know! Well, yeah, I know. It's weird. And... I can put it -- I can put it down, if it makes you more feel more comfortable. I don't hafta. 'Cause I just kinda...

'''Emma:''' No! Actually I think it's actually kinda cool.

'''Jonas:''' Really?

'''Emma:''' Yeah, I do.

'''Jonas:''' Oh, me and you are going to get along.

'''Emma:''' Really? Why do you have that with you all the time?

'''Jonas:''' Kinda. yeah. It's like ... I'm going to put the camera down. I think it's ...

'''Emma:''' O --

'''Jonas:''' I'm going to put it down.

'''Emma:''' Ok.

(''The scene changes from Emma's room to her living room. They are playing charades.'')

'''Jonas:''' So, star! Star!

'''Emma:''' Ok.

'''Jonas:''' What's it -- Star second? Number two? Star dancer? (''Emma makes plane sounds.'') Star planes! Star plane, right?

'''Emma:'''No! (''She makes gun sounds.'')

'''Jonas's mom:''' Star guns.

'''Jonas:''' Star guns. Star guns. (''They all laugh.'')

'''Emma:''' No!

'''Jonas:''' Star wars! Star wars!

'''Emma:''' Yes! (''They all laugh. Mother and Jonas high Five.'')

'''Jonas:''' Yes!

'''Emma:''' Woo!

'''Jonas:''' That was -- That was great.

'''Jonas's mom:''' Yes. That was great.

'''Emma:''' Ok! Um...

'''Mother:''' Aw, I'm sorry, Emma. It's time for bed. (''Emma sighs. Mother laughs and Jonas groans.'')

'''Emma:''' Right.

'''Jonas:''' Well, it was really, really great meeting you. And I had a lot of fun.

'''Emma:''' I had a lot of fun with you too.

'''Jonas:''' Can I get a high five?

'''Emma:''' Aw, come here. (''They hug.'') Okay.

'''Jonas:''' Thanks.

'''Emma:''' Thanks.

'''Jonas:''' Bye.

'''Emma:''' Bye.

'''Jonas's mom:''' Bye, honey. Good night, sweetie.

'''Emma:''' Good night. Love you.

'''Jonas's mom:''' Sleep tight.

'''Emma:''' Ok. Bye. Good night.

'''Jonas:''' Good night, Emma.

'''Jonas's mom:''' Oh, I forgot to tell you: On Fridays we have guests coming over. It's just something that we do. You're welcome to stay.

'''Jonas:''' Really? Can I?

'''Jonas's mom:''' Yeah, I'd really like it if you stayed.

'''Jonas:''' I would love to stay.

'''Jonas's mom:''' Good. (''There's a knock at the door and the bell rings.'')

'''Jonas:''' Ah.

'''Jonas's mom:''' Oh, yeah! That's -- I'll -- I'll be right back.

'''Jonas:''' Okay, I'm going to go -- I'm going to go get ready.

'''Jonas's mom:''' Okay.

'''Jonas:''' What should I wear?

'''Jonas's mom:''' Exactly what you have on is perfect.

'''Jonas:''' (''They laugh.'') Okay. Perfect.

(''Jonas walks over to the table and sees candles arranged in an orderly fashion.'')

'''Jonas's mom:''' Hey! Come on in. I'd like you to meet someone. Jonas! These are our friends, Carl and Sonia.

'''Jonas:''' Oh my God. This is a joke.

'''Sonia:''' Hi, Jonas.

'''Jonas:''' Mom! This isn't happening! No! This is not happening! This is not happening.

'''Jonas's mom:''' Jonas, what's the matter?

'''Jonas:''' This is not happening, this is not happening, this is not happening.

'''Jonas's mom:''' Jonas, please.

'''Jonas:''' Trust me, you gotta believe me that these people are not who they say they are. Listen to me! Listen to me!

'''Jonas's mom:''' Jonas! It's about --

'''Jonas:''' I know! No! No! No, I know that you just met me and it's confusing everything. But I know these people. I know them! You gotta believe me.

'''Jonas's mom:''' The religion of the Hymn of One is -- is about peace and love. Come sing with us. (''Jonas stares at her before getting up and walking towards the camera.'') Jonas!

'''Jonas:''' I can't do this. I can't do this.

'''Jonas's mom:''' Jonas! Wait.

(''The scene changes to Jonas filming from above the stairs and his parents, Sonia, Carl and Barb, a speaker from the Hymn of One seminar, sit around the table holding hands. The Hymn of One melody plays.'')

'''Jonas's dad:''' Each of us holds a part in the universal song within us. Let us gather hands and reach out and sing out.

'''Jonas's mom:''' We gather our hands and sing out.

'''Barb:''' We gather our hands and sing out.

'''Sonia:''' We gather our hands and we sing out.

'''Carl:''' We gather our hands and ---

(''Jonas makes a creaking sound with his camera. All eyes turn to him from below.)

'''Carl:''' Jonas! Gather our hands and sing out.

'''Jonas's mom:''' Jonas!

'''Jonas:''' This is not happening!

'''All:''' Jonas, gather our hands and sing out.

(''The camera zooms closer to the floor and the scene becomes black. The Hymn of One music fades out.'')
