00:00:15OFF CAMERA Your roommates, Rachel and Liz, shared some information with me. They said that you were fine, and that shortly after your aunt died, that you started acting in a different sort of strange way. Started having thoughts and hearing things that others couldn’t hear. 

00:00:35JESS They think I’m living in a movie. Rachel and Liz. That’s who they think I am. I see a lot of movies. So maybe they’re right. Maybe I am a movie 

00:00:45OFF CAMERA I’m not sure I understand how you can be a movie. 

00:00:45JESS Because they listen to our apartment. 

00:00:50[Whispers] 

00:00:50JESS They listen from next door. 

00:00:50OFF CAMERA Who listens? 

00:00:55JESS Russian men and whores. They drill all night long. That’s how they send their information back. Drilling. 

00:01:05OFF CAMERA Drilling. They send messages by drilling? 

00:01:10JESS Doesn’t surprise me. Most people don’t understand. 

00:01:15OFF CAMERA Your roommates said that your favorite aunt that died, she’s the one who raised you. 

00:01:20JESS Maybe she did. Maybe she didn’t. Who told you? Can you prove it? I can’t. 

00:01:30OFF CAMERA Liz and Rachel told me. 

00:01:30JESS Good for them. 

00:01:35OFF CAMERA And your roommates said you had some new neighbors that moved in. Are these the neighbors you’re talking about? 

00:01:45JESS They’re not neighbors. They’re Russians. They don’t answer their door. I tried to banging on their door and they didn’t answer. Figures. I mean they only speak English. They don’t speak English, they speak Russian in code. 

00:02:00OFF CAMERA You know, your roommate, Rachel, told me your new neighbors speak Spanish. They speak Spanish. 

00:02:10JESS They lie. But what do you expect? 

00:02:15OFF CAMERA What do they do? Your neighbors? 

00:02:20JESS I don’t want to talk about this any more. 

00:02:25OFF CAMERA You know, Jess, I imagine what you are experiencing right now feels very frightening. I hear from a lot of the people who, hear voices that maybe aren’t there, that it’s very frightening. And it’s upsetting. Are you experiencing anything like that? 

00:02:40JESS Yes. I hear them talking when no one else can. I mean not Rachel, not Liz. That’s why I went down to my car yesterday. Because if I’m very, very still, the Russians can’t code me. 

00:02:55OFF CAMERA What do you mean code you? 

00:03:00JESS You know. You act like you don’t know, but you know. 

00:03:05OFF CAMERA How long did you stay in your car? 

00:03:10JESS Six hours. I watched them move in and out. 

00:03:15OFF CAMERA So do you sometimes see things that your roommates don’t see? 

00:03:20JESS No. But I know things that they don’t know. 

00:03:30OFF CAMERA Jess, I realize it is difficult sometimes for people to tell me things but it really helps me with their background. Has anything happened recently? Anything traumatic? 

00:03:40JESS I think that secret government papers are traumatic. Like blueprints. I mean, they have blueprints of buildings. My apartment is a building. 

00:03:55OFF CAMERA What are the blueprints? 

00:03:55JESS They’re all over the walls. That’s what they want. 

00:04:00OFF CAMERA The neighbors? 

00:04:00JESS The Russians. They’re terrorists. You’ll find out too late. 

00:04:10OFF CAMERA Has anyone else seen these blueprints Jess? 

00:04:10JESS I can stop them from seeing them. I covered the walls, I marked up the walls. I just need more markers. 

00:04:20OFF CAMERA Jess, do you drink alcohol or take drugs? 

00:04:25JESS My body is my temple. No. 

00:04:30OFF CAMERA Have you been taking any prescription medications? 

00:04:35JESS Yes I did. I was. 

00:04:40OFF CAMERA So you stopped taking your medications? 

00:04:45JESS Yes I stopped taking my medications. The medications were part of the problem. But you know all about that, don’t you? 

00:04:55OFF CAMERA Jess, do you have any thoughts of hurting yourself, or hurting any other people? 

00:05:00JESS Rachel and Lizzy? I don’t think they’re in on it. Time will tell.
