(Darkstar continues to chase Wilson through a building.)

[Wilson]: Get the hell away from me, Michael!

(He fires his pistol back but misses - Darkstar blasts through another brick wall.)

[Darkstar]: Richard, stop!

[Wilson]: No, I want to live!

(Wilson jumps over a few tables and jumps out a window.)

(He grabs onto a catwalk and climbs up over to a sky-bridge, which leads to the second floor of a parking garage.)

(Darkstar runs into the room where Wilson jumped out and goes over to the windowsill. He blasts at Wilson but only hits the bridge - Wilson narrowly reaches the parking garage.)

[Wilson]: AAH!!

(Darkstar jumps down over to the broken bridge.)

[Darkstar]: Calm down, doctor.

[Wilson]: Don't call me doctor, I'm done!

[Darkstar]: No, no, you misunderstand. Please, just-

[Wilson]: You're a killer and I can see it! I have failed you and I am sorry!

[Darkstar]: My point is that you haven't failed me.

(Wilson backs down further in the garage and looks around the bridge.)

(Darkstar breaks a few chains and the bridge collapses.)

[Darkstar]: Don't try and run.

[Wilson]: So you can kill me?

[Darkstar]: I'm only trying to talk to you, Richard.

[Wilson]: Yeah, bad metaphor!

[Darkstar]: Yes, too bad for my tastes, too. Stay where you are.

[Wilson]: I-

[Darkstar]: AH- (He slowly takes off his helmet) There, there. It's okay.

[Wilson]: (Keeps gun aimed) I should shoot you now!

[Darkstar]: Yes, you should. It'll be more than just self defense, it'll be better. Better for you, from your perspective. Beneficial.

[Wilson]: Enough! Just give me your point!

[Darkstar]: My point is that I've found a remedy.

(He drops his helmet and stands, calmly facing Wilson.)

[Darkstar]: Compose yourself.

[Wilson]: How do-

(Darkstar holds up his finger to tell Wilson to wait. He clutches his head.)

[Wilson]: Michael, are you-

[Darkstar]: AAH!!!

(He staggers forward and turns to face Wilson.)

[Wilson]: M-Michael?

[Darkstar]: Yes, doctor?

[Wilson]: Are-

[Darkstar]: Am I okay? (Pause) Are you?

[Wilson]: ...I think you already know the answer to that.

[Darkstar]: You're paranoid, conflicted...

[Wilson]: Yes, all correct! Very good! W-what the hell are you getting at?

[Darkstar]': Patient-induced remedy.

[Wilson]: What?

[Darkstar]: Remedy for us both.

(Wilson takes several deep breaths while looking at Darkstar confusedly.)

[Darkstar]: The pain hurts me, the fear kicks in and relieves me of it by making me murder.

[Wilson]: Y-yes, you said so.

[Darkstar]: Good that you remember. Its magnitude stays with you, doesn't it?

[Wilson]: If, if you're asking whether I consider it severe, th-then definitely, Michael, d-definitely.

[Darkstar]: Yeah, there's the fear kicking in for you, telling you to run.

[Wilson]: Michael, please explain-

[Darkstar]: AAH!!!

(Another sequence of high-contrast skulls and facial outline visuals display but they static.)

(Darkstar is shown holding his head as his hands shudder. He then looks up at Wilson with a murderous expression.)

[Wilson]: M-Michael, please don't... please don't look at me like that.

[Darkstar]: The fear takes you, doesn't it, doctor?

[Wilson]: I am not...

[Darkstar]: No you're not, you're something else.

[Wilson]: C-can you let it stay that way?

[Darkstar]: Doctor's orders, sure, but I have a question for you, doctor.

[Wilson]: G-go ahead.

[Darkstar]: It's about fear's control.

[Wilson]: O...okay. Okay, sure.

(Pause)

[Darkstar]: Do you want to kill me... doctor?

[Wilson]: (Shudders) (Whispers) Please, don't-

[Darkstar]: I'll take your paranoia's answer as a yes.

[Wilson]: (Exhale) Michael...

[Darkstar]: I encourage you to go ahead and try, doctor.

[Wilson]: Y-you're... taunting me. F-fear?

[Darkstar]: You catch on well.

[Wilson]: B-but you just told me you wanted to die!

[Darkstar]: I... I wish I weren't this... confident, of keeping myself alive. I wish I was... stronger. I say that in terms of fighting my fear but it always comes across more... mundanely than that... ...but I'm still willing.

[Wilson]: (Gulps) If so, t-then you have a grasp of your intentions... F-Follow through.

[Darkstar]: Ah, but hurting myself is pain, is it not? Pain triggers fear, triggers impulse, triggers defense... triggers the monster.

[Wilson]: (Deep breath) I... I don't-

[Darkstar]: It's the vicious cycle I told you about. It really grasps your understanding after you witness it firsthand, doesn't it? (Smiles) When you're the victim?

[Wilson]: (Deep breath) (Tears up) I'm s-so sorry, Michael. (His right hand, with a gun in it, is trembling.)

[Darkstar]: Don't be. (Deep breath) I should be, for even considering spreading my weakness into you. Fear's instincts... (trembles) again.

[Wilson]: D...d-does that mean you're going to kill me then?

[Darkstar]: You tell me. (Pause) You tell me, right before you yourself put a bullet right between my eyes.
