Common Side Effects

Okay, I'm gonna show you something that one of

my top research people is working on, okay?

There's van about a quarter mile down that road.

They say they're from the cable company,

but they might be lying. - Are you here to kill me?

No, I-I think you're government.

Socrates was there when you found it, right?

- We did it? Oh, my God! - It's Marshall!

Marshall Cuso, you are under arrest.

They didn't have any good ones. Produce was picked over.

You should have seen the two they had left.

I'm getting a work thing. Hang on.

Copy. Sullivan County.

Might be a while, but the money's good.

Gonna make our year.

Yeah. Okay, baby, see you when I'm out.

What the fuck, man?!

What the fuck?! Stop!

Hey!

Get out! Okay? Just get out!

Come on! You see this?

Don't shoot! Don't shoot, man. Take it all, man, don't shoot.

Okay.

Yeah, you need to get over here and arrest somebody.

6'2", I'd say very handsome.

Been drinking though.

Socrates?

Socrates!

Socrates!

Socrates.

Right. Okay. Good.

- We going in? - Nope.

They want us back at headquarters.

What if they grew mushrooms in there?

Not our problem. No warrant.

Suddenly no one wants anything to do with this guy.

How do you think Marshall's gonna do in jail?

Pssh, he'll get out.

He probably got an expensive lawyer.

Wait!

Is that Marshall's tortoise?

This guy's gonna get run over out here.

Hey! You aren't stayin'? What's not to like?

Oh, hi.

Can you help me look for Socrates?

He's out here somewhere, and I have to leave soon.

You gonna leave us any of that mushroom or what?

Um, I don't know, there isn't much.

Yeah, then gimme some. Shit, Turtleman's cool.

He'd let me have some.

I just don't think I better--

I think you better gimme some shrooms.

Or should I just take some?

Shit, shit, it's the cable guys that aren't cable guys!

- Okay, get away from me! - Hey. Hey.

Hey, hey, hey. Hey. I'm not here to hurt you.

- You know this little guy? - Socrates!

Bye, Socrates.

What did they get you for?

- Arson. - Arson?

Maybe you can help me figure out how to light this joint.

I can't help you. I didn't actually do it.

Sure, man. Love an arson.

I don't got shit to pull out when it's assault and battery.

So, what do you do around here?

- You're doing it. - Do you do any crafts

or activities? How do you pass the time?

Crafts?

Well, I was in a Peruvian prison briefly,

and one of the guys in there

was tattooing a fantastical epic about the Incas

fighting off an invasion of space aliens

on to another guy's back.

I thought maybe...

Nah, we don't do anything like that, man.

Is there a phone I could get my hands on?

I need to call some people.

Just chill, man. Relax. Enjoy the company.

Maybe I'll just work on some memory exercises.

That's probably... - You do that, homie.

What the fuck did you do that for?!

I...He was looking at me. Why?

That's Christopher. He's like the jail king.

You don't look back, and you don't wave.

So when you got down to North Carolina,

did you notify the local SAIC?

Uh, no, we had the impression--

We thought we were running this out of New York.

Did Amelia, the mycologist,

ever figure out what we gathered from Marshall's other place?

Amelia took time off. Sick kid.

So he's in custody now? The guy?

North Carolina Highway Patrol delivered him

to Sullivan County.

Terrific. Handled. Let's let them sort this out.

Look, something is up with this guy.

Maybe we can talk to him while he's in jail?

Mm. This is bigger than... this.

Washington's interested.

Washington's interested in mushrooms?

Washington's interested in you two.

You're gonna meet Cecily. Okay? Buckle up.

Hey! Hey Marshall, I thought it was you.

Hey! Wait, wait, you're one of the Mulvaney twins.

Louis. Rosie's friend. We burned down your house!

Me and Pete got your papers and torched em'.

And then I fucked up

and kicked a can of burnin' shit on to your house.

Well, I mean, that's on me, I own that.

Hold on. If you got arrested for it,

why am I in here?

Oh, I'm in here for a different arson.

I kinda got the bug, you know?

Listen. I need to get out of here.

We all do, man. It sucks in here.

I'm in here for a crime you did!

Aw, hell, are you mad at me?

- Yes. Very! - Damn.

I hate when people are mad at me.

You've got to speak up, okay? Listen.

Talk to your lawyer, say you did this, so I can get out of here.

Hm. What's in it for me?

First of all, justice and truth.

But also, I'm on to a discovery that could heal the whole world,

but it's not gonna work if I'm stuck in here.

This is kind of a lot.

Hey, man, a guy like you ain't gonna make it.

You're too fucking weird. Just so you know.

Okay, good luck!

Mom? Oh, Mom, you're standing!

Frannie! I feel terrific. Let's go dancing.

Mom, what?

Come on, I still got it. Should we climb that tree?

You used to love climbing trees.

Okay, Mom. Let's take a beat. Maybe we should just...

I mean, we've both been through kind of a lot.

Tell me something.

This mushroom, it took me somewhere.

I went on a trip like you wouldn't believe.

Yeah!

There might be some side effects.

We're not entirely sure yet.

Doesn't my brilliant daughter work

at a pharmaceutical company?

Well, use your resources.

Find out what the lasting effects are.

No, no.

Marshall would hate me forever if I took this to Reutical.

I mean, he'd never forgive me.

Frances, this is bigger than Marshall.

You could change lives here.

What?

Hoang? You okay?

Hey. What is it? What did you take?

Withdrawal. Fuck.

Help! Someone help!

Shut the fuck up! No help's coming, bitch!

Okay, okay.

We tracked Miss Applewhite,

and followed her when she drove to North Carolina.

- And she led you to-- - Marshall Cuso.

She's his girlfriend or something?

I would say they were more friends.

Mushrooms.

Did he, they, whatever, did they grow any mushrooms?

- Uh, we did not confirm that. - Where are they now?

Mr. Cuso is in jail in Sullivan County, New York,

and Miss Applewhite-- - No, the mushrooms.

If there were any, they'd be with Miss Applewhite.

Thank you for coming all the way down here.

Are there any sites you'd recommend

while we're down here in Washington?

We'll find something.

Frances! Oh, you're okay. How 's Socrates?

- He's okay. - Oh, thank God.

Listen, if anything happens to him,

go see my half-brother Zane, okay?

He'll probably be on pills,

but he has an aquarium store, he knows what to do.
