Welcome to the White Room | The Hunting Party | NBC

-People have asked me what it was like to die. Did I see a tunnel? Hear voices? Did my whole life flash before my eyes? I saw nothing. Because there was nothing. I was alone in the void. Yet I was overcome by the most miraculous feeling. Relief. Existence was an illusion. Death was no more. And I rose out of the gates of hell to see myself as I am. I am the truth in its most miraculous human form. And all of you are here to bear witness... ...to the beginning of a new era. But first... ...we must cleanse the old. [ Blowing out candles ] Are you ready, brother? -Cyrus? -On the other side, you will be pure. -Tyler's construction company, Mesa Construction, has a license that allows him to buy and ship demolition explosives. -Found it. -Seven weeks ago, Mesa Construction received 200 pounds of ammonium nitrate. The same stuff that caused explosion in Beirut a few years ago. -He can level a whole city block with that. -Wait, that's not all. Look at this. Another purchase order from the same day. -Building materials? -A couple tons of plywood, saws, wood glue, paint. -You don't make a bomb with plywood. What's he building? -For now, I'll settle for where he's building it. -The order was delivered to a vacant warehouse in downtown Elgin. -Nice work. Let's get that to the team. ♪♪ ♪♪ -Go ahead. ♪♪ ♪♪ -Sorry. ♪♪ ♪♪ -What is this? -This is a white room. -Yeah, we can see that. -You've seen this before? -These are highly illegal. Human rights violations. Iran used them in the early 2000s to torture journalists and enemy operatives. -Torture? -Total sensory deprivation. Holding people in these rooms causes panic attacks, hallucinations. Some people break out into sores from the shear stress. These rooms are designed to psychologically break people. -Break them or brainwash them? -Yeah, this is how Cyrus did it. How he converted people so fast. -How'd Cyrus know about this? -The pit. -Cyrus didn't have a numbered cell. A room like this was his cell. -They made him live in this? For years? I mean, I've been in here two minutes, I'm losing my mind. -Yeah. Me too. Hey, Morales, I need you to run a search on the white room in the pit file, see if anything comes back. -You got it. And FYI, we just got word Cyrus' three original followers are all currently M.I.A. -Copy that. We need to get a warning out to every federal building in the state. -Ben, get DHS on the phone right now. No specifics. Just let them know that we have credible intel, yeah? -On it. -I'll call the governor. -Becks, I got something. There's a reference to a covert study in which a patient was held in a constant state of sensory deprivation. Subject experiencing delusions of divinity. New efforts will focus on using Rogerian therapy to test the limits of human grandiosity. -Oh, boy. -What's Rogerian therapy? -Rogerian therapy is a patient centered treatment that focuses on unconditional positive reinforcement. So whatever the patient thinks, therapist reaffirms. -What if the patient is already experiencing delusions of divinity? -Yep, then the therapist says, "Yep, you got it. You are right." -I'm sending you the video now. <i> -The white room taught me the only real thing is</i> <i> the singleness of my being...</i> <i> this moment right now.</i> -Lawrence. <i> -The white room is the real world.</i> The prison is the Monopoly game they make us play outside of it. I was sent to this earth to spread this message. -Noah, we agree. We think you're making tremendous progress. -I did not die at the compound because I cannot die. -Correct. -I could not know the name of my divine leader because it was my own name. -Correct. Say his name. -Me. Noah Cyrus. <i> -What is your gospel, divine leader?</i> <i> -End times. Hellfire.</i> <i> Eternal judgment on all who do not worship me.</i> -Correct. -I will save all that I can.
