Wayward Pines

Mr. Burke? I know you can hear me. Since you are my very favorite new patient, I'll make you a deal. Be a good sport, come on out. I'll give you a present. The present is anesthesia for your surgery, Mr. Burke. I hope you understand that the sedative I gave you upstairs will render you unconscious any moment now. If you don't come out and surrender, I promise you won't roll into surgery right away. You'll wake up on the operating table, but you won't be able to move. And this is because of the monster dose of suxamethonium I'll have administered. The only movement you'll be capable of is blinking. The surgery will take hours, and you'll be awake, alive, and alert for every agonizing second. I know you can hear me, Mr. Burke, because I'm standing outside the room where you are hiding, hiding in a corner, hoping I'll walk blindly past.

Do not try to leave. Do not discuss the past. Do not discuss your life before. Always answer the phone if it rings.

Arnold Pope: I hear you paid Patricia Evans a visit. Here the poor woman is grieving over her dead husband, and you go banging on her door like a drunken Bible salesman. Ethan Burke: I didn't know Evans was married with a baby. Arnold Pope: You think the baby did it, huh?

Nurse Pam: Maybe I can help you, hmm? Ethan Burke: I thought you worked upstairs. Nurse Pam: I go where I'm needed. Do you need me, Mr. Burke? Ethan Burke: No. Nurse Pam: Were you able to reach your wife? I know you really wanted to talk to her. Bet when you two get back together, you're gonna bang her brains out, huh?

The more you see, the less anything makes sense in this town. When I first woke up here, I was so disoriented that I believed them when they told me I lived here. I remember walking around in this fog with no competing memories. Eventually, they came back, and now I just keep my head down, I go to work, I go home. And I know this isn't my life. Didn't take me too long to realize that it was the fear that keeps everybody in line here.
