PLOT

At Dam Yzarc Psychiatric Hospital Chris and Kyle meet and chat. Kyle says the nurse gave him some M&M’s, then Chris shows a display of tablets and tells they’re not M&M’s but buttons. Suddenly, Andrew is coming straight to them. Kyle warns Chris about Andrew being mad and dangerous, then Kyle and Chris start “acting naturally” (doing things that there’s nothing to do with natural acting). When Andrew comes closer, Chris and Kyle tell lame excuses and flee. In this moment, Sarah approaches him alongside Jack, Max’s relative.

Jack are chatting  (the visitor came to ask some money to Max) until the nurse comes back to end the visiting time. Chris and Kyle see the three of them leaving and start conniving about Andrew’s intentions to Jack and Sarah. Kyle tells Chris that Andrew has an evil plan to kill Jack. Chris and Kyle decide to save Jack by putting some “M&M’s” in Andrew’s glass for him to sleep. Jack drinks from Andrew’s glass by accident and drops unconscious. Sarah suddenly gets mad and starts screaming that Jack is her secret boyfriend. She leaves quickly telling the patients she’s gonna take care of them. When she comes back, she really “takes care” of them, then she goes away complaining about her job. Afterwards, Jack wakes up all alone and starts pitying himself.
