Karim takes a sigh as if he didn’t have enough sleep, and gets back to the computer, he scrolls up and we find out he has sent multiple messages “where can I find you” “I just want to meet” “just tell me where can I see you”
But all with no reply.
He stood up went to the library and stood there silently thinking, he takes the usb puts it in the computer and goes to play the game his friend gave him. When suddenly the printer started printing all by itself. Its a riddle with a location. “Go to where you have been told and you will find yourself astray. Left or right it matters not the sea of mazes will leave you lost. Think to yourself does the moon follow us or its path that we follow. You’ll reach that gate you so dearly want but try as you may the past is locked away. What you desire is in another time, pull it towards you first and up the stairs is your way.” Karim says to himself “He wants me to find him“
Karim starts reading it continuously over and over, he goes down and gets into a cab and goes to the location written on the paper while still reciting it in his brains. The car stops and he gets out. Cockroaches on the pavement scurry away, as he walked toward a junction. many roads lead the way but he doesn’t know which one, he looks up and follows the road with the direction of the moon. he reaches an old gate. He tries but fails to open it, as a car passes by he notices there is still a way in, he walks over a small puddle of water and walks straights between some greenery, gets flashed again by another passing car with its lights on, until finally he reaches the other gate, he sees a covered up old Volswagon beetle car parked. He pulls the gate towards him and it opened, then proceeds to enter the seemingly empty house. The door was open but he hears a strange rumbling noise like a washing machine from upstairs, he follows the sound upstairs, until finally he reached a room with the lights on.
Meanwhile Anna turns out to be following Karim, she follows him to Thoths hiding place, and waits for him outside.
Karim opens the door only to find Alex (Thoth) naked . Some oranges on the table and of coarse some wet napkins. Karim exits the room and closes the door quickly after what he witnessed, and we see Alex speaking to himself.”He came!” Then Alex yells “Come in“ Karim enters the room again “welcome... the one who have seen the deep” Alex struggles to put on his pants back and he moves his hand for a hand shake but Karim restrained “Of coarse” Alex says. Alex fixes his pants and goes to get Karim a small chair, after he places the chair he looks out the window and he sees Anna outside hiding and says to himself “I knew this time someone will show up.” After a substantial pause hearing the washing machine working Alex tells Karim to sit, he washes his hands with the napkins and gets an orange and starts peeling it, but as he is peeling it he starts shaking as if he has Parkinson’s syndrome. ”You finished your journey” Alex says Karim bursts a small laugh “im sorry I’m trying to keep my sanity in check, im with the person who ruined my life” Karim says. “Let me give you a piece of advice for what’s to come” Alex points his shaky finger as if there is one more thing to add and places a gun on the table it is clear Alex has severe Parkinson’s, “knowledge is a double edge sword, I know its not easy knowing what you know. You started to see it haven’t you... the absurdity of life, the patterns the waves the algorithm the viruses all of it... Is it all in your head? Is it all the game ?” washing machine finishes. Karim trying to keep himself from not looking at the gun says “im not here to play your game, you ruined my life” Alex replies ”I think I made our relationship closer you see we leveled up me and you, you needed to be born again with all the attachments gone. Believe me when there is a well of sadness inside of you, you understand things for the way they are and the more this well of sadness and misery grows inside of you the deeper and purer the knowledge. You become powerful. I thought you can handle it?” Karim says “if the pain was for me why did you hurt Anna?” Karim talking about the incident of which Alex hacked Karim’s and Anna’s phone and shared private pictures of her, and afterwards Anna with the guidance of albotros left Karim. Alex grunts ”Who the girl? believe me I did you a favor she has gone too far shielding you from the truth” Karim in a burst yells “What does that even mean?” Karim continues and as if his fear went away and opens up “No one believes me anymore. Everything is ugly, everything is real. the diseases, the misery the fucking weight of the world crushing your back and we can’t do anything about it we just have to live knowing the cruelty of this world...Suddenly I have less and less to say the patterns overwhelm me I stopped feeling love, I stopped caring for people, you dont see them the same anymore. The game ruined my life it showed me a truth that I never wanted to see.” Alex waits for a second then says “Beware of unearned wisdom... we can do a lot about the misery and suffering of the world we take them upon our shoulders, we are the ones remembering the gods so that other people live blissfully fulfilling their duties correctly without… as you said the fucking weight of the world on their shoulders, you see you are special and I think you are ready” “What do you mean” Karim asks, Alex says ”Imagine a line spiraling, the moment you stepped foot in this room I was pushed into this spiraling line and down and down it goes. And now you are ready to take my place, I slaved for years and I did it with love. I did everything they wanted me to do.” “Who are they?” Karim asks “You know them they are in your head too. Everything you need is on this laptop you will have everything I know. The game will never stop, with or without you. What is about to happen today will make you more powerful than you can even imagine you will finish your initiation you will see death. And your well will grow deeper… You want to play Russian roulette? il start.” Karim looks at the gun, the gun isn’t a revolver. Karim says “Thats not how you play Russian roulette” Alex loads the gun in a one quick decisive action “I know, your the one now… now dont forget the charger “
Karim sees the situation as if he is out of his body looking from afar he says to himself “The world asks you a question, how much do you want to suffer? When you come to answer... You cant really control yourself, it’s like breathing, and you must answer, I held my breathe for so long and life gave me what I want.” Alex shoots and kills himself in front of Karim. But as he pressed the trigger another gunshot was taking place right downstairs Anna was shot also, and both Alex and Anna died that night.
Meanwhile Adam reaches the location Lilith sent and went to the first floor, he knocks at the door and Lucy opens the door. Adam goes through the hallway and into the living room where Abed is smoking a joint and rolling another one and Lucy proceeds to sit next to Daphne, Adam asks for Lilith and they told him she was in the kitchen making chocolate brownies. Adam sits near Abed waiting for Lilith to show up. Abed blows smoke into Adams face and Adam starts to feel a bit dizzy, he becomes paralyzed not able to move but could see and hear everything, he started to notice the house, which is filled with dead trees and plants, demonic paintings on the wall and beautiful Persian carpets. Lucy and Daphne start talking while Abed starts a conversation with Adam out of no where, and Bach music is playing in the background, Adam gets a bit nervous for he finds himself not in control again but only a spectator of what is happening sitting there paralyzed watching everything. Abed says "Let me tell you about a poet named Al Halaj" Lucy talking to Daphne says"Corona made social interactions easier you don't have to hug or kiss someone anymore" Daphne replied "Please it just made them awkward you're always scared of people." Lucy asks "You think generations from now people won't know how to touch anymore" Abed continues" he was a Sufi poet, he got so close to god that he started saying that god is within him controlling him" Daphne then says : "I don't think they'll know how to handshake. But I think they will have a safer... smarter world." Lucy asks "What do you mean smarter?" Daphne replied " Our bodies will know how to fight it" Abed then continues" He has a known phrase he used to say I am the truth" Lucy says to Daphne "That doesn't make you smarter" Daphne replies "Yes it does its knowledge from within our bodies" Lucy then says : "You know thats bullshit, and what do you mean Safer world? Our freedoms are gone we live in a world with curfews and the government literally closing peoples shops and businesses for a virus humans created" Abed then continues" Well they crucified this poet then they burned him afterwards" Lucy then continues "we kept talking about the "new world order" well here you have it the new way of life with everything taken from us." Daphne says : "they found a vaccine" Lucy exclaims "Well off coarse they did they made the damn thing in the first place." Daphne sighs "Just close the topic" Lucy then says : ” Who are "they" ? You keep talking about. They found a vaccine hah of coarse they did" Daphne then says "The people on top controlling us and they know better than us" Abed then continues" While he was crucified he recited a poem" Lucy then says :” You give humans too much credit we are really just stupid enough to release a virus on ourselves." Daphne jumps in "pollution levels are getting too high and we can't stop making electricity" Lucy says :”So they did the whole thing for environmental reasons are you kidding me you obviously haven’t visited a hospital lately" Daphne says "Close the topic he started" Abed starts reciting Arabic poetry to Adam, with Bach music in the background and they pair beautifully together.
Karim gets the laptop, over the dead body of Alex he goes down the stairs and out of the building only to see another dead body, he looks closely and his eyes didnt deceive him, it is Anna. He stands there in shock not processing everything he hears the sirens of the police coming closer so he decides to run.
We are looking forward to seeing you
And with Your Might, we wake up
to show us what you want
And you who your throne is in heaven
And you who are in heaven are God
And on earth God..
appear as you wish
as your transfiguration is in your best form and picture
It is the speaking spirit
which you singled out with knowledge (and eloquence) and power
and these are your servants
they have gathered to kill me with fanaticism for your religion
and to get close to you
Forgive them!
If you had revealed to them what you had revealed to me
They wouldn't do what they are about to do
And if you had concealed from me, what you concealed from them.
I wouldn't be meeting this destiny
So the appreciation is in what you do
It is up to you to decide what you want."
"نَحَنُ بشَوَاهِدِكَ نلُوذُ
وبِسَنَا عِزَّتِكَ نَسْتَضِئ
لِتُبْدِى لَنا مَا شِئْتَ مِنْ شَأْنِكَ
وأنْتَ الذِى فِى السَّماءِ عَرْشُكَ
وأَنْتَ الذِى فىِ السَّمَاءِ إلَه
وفِى الأرضِ إِلَه..
تَجَلَّى كَمَا تَشَاء
مِثْلَ تَجَلِّيكَ فىِ مَشِيئتِكَ كأَحْسنِ صُورَةٍ
والصُّورَةُ
هِىَ الرُّوحُ النَّاطِقَةُ
الذِى أفْرَدْتَهُ بالعلمِ (والبيَانِ) والقُدرَةِ
وهَؤَلاءَ عِبَادُكَ
قَدْ اجْتَمَعُوا لِقَتْلِى تَعَصُّباً لدِينكَ
وتَقَرُّباً إليْكَ
فاغْفرْ لَهُمْ !
فإنكَ لَوْ كَشَفْتَ لَهُمْ مَا كَشَفْتَ لِى
لما فَعَلُوا ما فَعلُوا
ولَوْ سَتَرْتَ عَنِّى مَا سَترْتَ عَنْهُمْ
لما لَقِيتُ مَا لَقِيتُ
فَلَكَ التَّقْديرُ فِيما تَفْعَلُ
ولَكَ التَّقْدِيرُ فيِما تُرِيدُ"
