0:01:36 > 0:01:38Where?

0:01:38 > 0:01:40I want a haircut.

0:01:41 > 0:01:43The President's in town.

0:01:43 > 0:01:45We don't care.

0:01:45 > 0:01:48We need a haircut. We need to go across town.

0:01:48 > 0:01:52We'll hit traffic that speaks in quarter inches.

0:01:52 > 0:01:54Just so I know...

0:01:54 > 0:01:57which president are we talking about?

0:01:57 > 0:01:59United States.

0:01:59 > 0:02:01Barriers will be set up.

0:02:01 > 0:02:03Entire streets deleted from the map.

0:02:05 > 0:02:07Show me my car.

0:02:13 > 0:02:14What have we learned, then?

0:02:14 > 0:02:17Our system is secure. We're impenetrable.

0:02:17 > 0:02:18There's no rogue programme.

0:02:18 > 0:02:20It would seem, however...

0:02:20 > 0:02:23Eric, no, we ran every test.

0:02:23 > 0:02:26No-one's overloading the system or manipulating our sites.

0:02:26 > 0:02:28- When did we do all this?- Yesterday,

0:02:28 > 0:02:31at the complex - our rapid response team.

0:02:31 > 0:02:33There is no vulnerable point of entry.

0:02:33 > 0:02:36Our insurer did a threat analysis.

0:02:36 > 0:02:37We are buffered from attack.

0:02:37 > 0:02:39- Everywhere?- Yes.

0:02:39 > 0:02:40Including the car?

0:02:40 > 0:02:42Including, absolutely, yes.

0:02:42 > 0:02:43My car, this car?

0:02:43 > 0:02:45Eric, yes. Please...

0:02:48 > 0:02:52We've been together, you and I, since the little-bitty start-up.

0:02:52 > 0:02:56I want you to tell me that you still have the stamina to do this job.

0:02:56 > 0:02:59- The single mindedness. - This car, your car...

0:02:59 > 0:03:02The relentless will.

0:03:02 > 0:03:04cos I keep hearing about our legend,

0:03:04 > 0:03:07that we're all young, smart and raised by wolves,

0:03:07 > 0:03:10that the phenomenon of reputation is a delicate thing.

0:03:10 > 0:03:12A person rises on a word

0:03:12 > 0:03:14and falls on a syllable.

0:03:16 > 0:03:18I know I'm asking the wrong man.

0:03:18 > 0:03:19Oh, what?

0:03:19 > 0:03:22Where was the car last night after we ran our tests?

0:03:22 > 0:03:24I...

0:03:24 > 0:03:26I don't know.

0:03:30 > 0:03:33Where do all these limos go at night?

0:03:33 > 0:03:35I know I'm changing the subject.

0:03:35 > 0:03:36Haven't been sleeping much.

0:03:36 > 0:03:38I look at books and drink brandy.

0:03:38 > 0:03:43What happens to all these stretched limousines that prowl the throbbing city all day long?

0:03:43 > 0:03:45Where do they spend the night?

0:03:50 > 0:03:51What?

0:03:52 > 0:03:56Do you ever get the feeling, sometimes, that you don't know what's going on?

0:03:58 > 0:04:01Do I want to ask you what you mean by that?

0:04:01 > 0:04:03All this optimism...

0:04:03 > 0:04:05All this booming and soaring.

0:04:05 > 0:04:10Things happen like... Bang! It's this AND that! Simultaneous.

0:04:10 > 0:04:13I put out my hand and what do I feel?

0:04:14 > 0:04:18I know there are a thousand things that you analyse every ten minutes -

0:04:18 > 0:04:22patterns, ratio, indexes, whole maps of information.

0:04:24 > 0:04:26I love information.

0:04:27 > 0:04:30Eric, this is our sweetness and light.

0:04:30 > 0:04:32It is a fuck-all wonder

0:04:32 > 0:04:35and we have meaning in this world.

0:04:35 > 0:04:39People eat and sleep in the shadow of what we do.

0:04:41 > 0:04:43But at the same time...

0:04:44 > 0:04:45What...

0:04:49 > 0:04:53Any special reason we're in the car instead of the office?

0:04:53 > 0:04:56What makes you think we're in the car instead of the office?

0:04:56 > 0:04:58- If I answer that question... - Based on what premise?

0:04:58 > 0:05:01..I know I'll say something that's halfway clever,

0:05:01 > 0:05:03but mostly shallow

0:05:03 > 0:05:05and probably inaccurate on some level

0:05:05 > 0:05:09and then you will pity me for having been born.

0:05:09 > 0:05:11We're in the car cos I need a haircut.

0:05:11 > 0:05:13So have the barber go to the office, get your hair cut there.

0:05:13 > 0:05:16Or have the barber come to your car. Just...

0:05:16 > 0:05:18get your hair cut and go to the office.

0:05:18 > 0:05:22A haircut has what? Associations.

0:05:22 > 0:05:24Calendar on the wall, mirrors everywhere.

0:05:24 > 0:05:26There's no barber chair here.

0:05:26 > 0:05:28Nothing swivels but the chair you're in, Shiner.

0:05:48 > 0:05:50Where's your car?

0:05:51 > 0:05:53We can't seem to find it.

0:05:54 > 0:05:56I'd offer you a ride.

0:05:56 > 0:05:59I couldn't. Absolutely.

0:05:59 > 0:06:01I know you work en route.

0:06:01 > 0:06:03And I like taxis.

0:06:03 > 0:06:05I was never good at geography

0:06:05 > 0:06:08and I learned things by asking the drivers where they come from.

0:06:08 > 0:06:12They come from horror and despair.

0:06:12 > 0:06:14Yes, exactly.

0:06:14 > 0:06:19One learns about the countries where unrest is occurring by riding the taxis here.

0:06:20 > 0:06:22I haven't seen you in a while.

0:06:27 > 0:06:28I looked for you this morning.

0:06:30 > 0:06:32Your eyes are blue.

0:06:33 > 0:06:35Have you ate breakfast yet?

0:06:35 > 0:06:36No.

0:06:38 > 0:06:41Good. I'm hungry for something thick and chewy.

0:06:43 > 0:06:45You never told me you were blue eyed.

0:06:46 > 0:06:48What are we going to talk about?

0:06:49 > 0:06:52I want a heliport on the roof.

0:06:52 > 0:06:55I've acquired the air rights, but we still need the zoning variants.

0:06:55 > 0:06:57Don't you want to eat?

0:06:57 > 0:06:59There's a shooting range next to the elevator bank.

0:07:01 > 0:07:03Let's talk about us.

0:07:03 > 0:07:04You and I?

0:07:04 > 0:07:06We're here so we might as well.

0:07:07 > 0:07:09When are we going to have sex again?

0:07:11 > 0:07:13We will, I promise.

0:07:14 > 0:07:16We haven't in a while now.

0:07:17 > 0:07:19When I work, you see...

0:07:19 > 0:07:22the energy is precious.

0:07:22 > 0:07:24When you write?

0:07:24 > 0:07:25Yes.

0:07:27 > 0:07:28Where do you do this?

0:07:28 > 0:07:31I look for you, Elise.

0:07:31 > 0:07:33I curl up somewhere.

0:07:33 > 0:07:35I've always done this.

0:07:35 > 0:07:38My mother used to send people to find me...

0:07:38 > 0:07:42Maids and gardeners, combing the house and grounds...

0:07:42 > 0:07:45She thought I was dissolvable in water.

0:07:45 > 0:07:48I like your mother.

0:07:48 > 0:07:50You have your mother's breasts.

0:07:50 > 0:07:52Her breasts?

0:07:54 > 0:07:56Great stand-up tits.

0:07:59 > 0:08:02Tell me this - where will you go now?

0:08:02 > 0:08:04To a meeting somewhere, to your office?

0:08:04 > 0:08:06Where is your office?

0:08:06 > 0:08:09What do you do, exactly?

0:08:09 > 0:08:12You know things - I think this is what you do.

0:08:12 > 0:08:15I think you're dedicated to knowing.

0:08:15 > 0:08:17I think you acquire information

0:08:17 > 0:08:20and turn it into something stupendous and awful.

0:08:21 > 0:08:24You're a dangerous person. Do you agree?

0:08:25 > 0:08:27A visionary.

0:08:38 > 0:08:40A report from the Complex.

0:08:40 > 0:08:43It's a credible threat, not to be dismissed.

0:08:43 > 0:08:45Which means riding cross town is...

0:08:45 > 0:08:47Had numerous threats, all credible.

0:08:47 > 0:08:49I'm still standing here.

0:08:49 > 0:08:53Not a threat to your safety, to his.

0:08:53 > 0:08:54Who the fuck is "his"?

0:08:54 > 0:08:58The President's. This means a ride across town...

0:08:58 > 0:09:01does not happen unless we make a day of it, with cookies and milk.

0:09:02 > 0:09:04Do people still shoot at Presidents?

0:09:04 > 0:09:07I thought there were more stimulating targets.

0:09:08 > 0:09:12In the next block, there are two haircutting saloons,

0:09:12 > 0:09:13there's one and two.

0:09:13 > 0:09:16No need to go across town.

0:09:16 > 0:09:18Situation is unstable.

0:09:20 > 0:09:21Here.

0:09:25 > 0:09:26I know that smile, Michael.

0:09:26 > 0:09:28I think the yuan...

0:09:28 > 0:09:31I mean, there's reason to believe we may be leveraging too rashly.

0:09:31 > 0:09:33It's gonna turn our way.

0:09:33 > 0:09:35Yes, I know, it always has.

0:09:37 > 0:09:39The rashness you think you see.

0:09:39 > 0:09:41What is happening doesn't chart.

0:09:43 > 0:09:46It charts. You just have to search a little harder.

0:09:46 > 0:09:51Don't trust standard models, think outside the limits.

0:09:51 > 0:09:52The yuan is making a statement.

0:09:52 > 0:09:54Read it and leap.

0:09:54 > 0:09:57We are betting big time here.

0:09:57 > 0:10:00I know that smile and I want to respect it,

0:10:00 > 0:10:02but the yuan can't go any higher.

0:10:02 > 0:10:04I want to trust it.

0:10:04 > 0:10:06We're borrowing enormous, enormous sums.

0:10:06 > 0:10:08Any assault on the borders of perception

0:10:08 > 0:10:10is gonna seem rash at first.

0:10:10 > 0:10:13Yeah, come on, we're speculating into the void!

0:10:13 > 0:10:15Your mother blamed the smile on your father...

0:10:15 > 0:10:18he blamed her...

0:10:18 > 0:10:20there's something deadly about it.

0:10:20 > 0:10:22She thought she'd have to enrol you in special counselling.

0:10:22 > 0:10:24I think we ought to adjust.

0:10:27 > 0:10:29Where's Shiner?

0:10:29 > 0:10:31On his way to the airport.

0:10:32 > 0:10:34Why are they called airports?

0:10:34 > 0:10:37I know I can't answer these questions

0:10:37 > 0:10:39without losing your respect.

0:10:39 > 0:10:41Shiner told me our network is secure.

0:10:41 > 0:10:42Then it is.

0:10:43 > 0:10:46Safe from penetration.

0:10:49 > 0:10:53Why am I seeing things that haven't happened yet?

0:10:59 > 0:11:01How old are you?

0:11:01 > 0:11:0222.

0:11:05 > 0:11:06What? 22.

0:11:06 > 0:11:08You look younger.

0:11:10 > 0:11:11I was always younger than anyone around me.

0:11:11 > 0:11:14One day, it began to change.

0:11:14 > 0:11:17I don't feel younger.

0:11:17 > 0:11:19I feel located totally nowhere.

0:11:20 > 0:11:22Think I'm ready to quit...

0:11:22 > 0:11:24basically, the business.

0:11:24 > 0:11:27Put a stick of gum in your mouth and try not to chew it.

0:11:31 > 0:11:32For someone your age with your gifts,

0:11:32 > 0:11:36there's only one thing in the world worth pursuing both professionally and intellectually.

0:11:36 > 0:11:38What is it, Michael?

0:11:39 > 0:11:41The interaction between technology and capital -

0:11:41 > 0:11:44the inseparability.

0:11:44 > 0:11:46High school was the last true challenge.

0:11:48 > 0:11:52There's a poem I read in which a rat becomes the unit of currency.

0:11:52 > 0:11:55Yes, that would be interesting.

0:11:55 > 0:11:57Yeah, that would impact the world economy.

0:11:57 > 0:12:00The name alone, better than the dong or the kwacha.

0:12:00 > 0:12:03- The name says everything.- Yes. "The rat".

0:12:03 > 0:12:05"Yes, the rat closed lower today against the euro."

0:12:05 > 0:12:09"Yes, there's going concern that the Russian rat will be devalued."

0:12:09 > 0:12:11White rats, think about that.

0:12:11 > 0:12:12Yes, pregnant rats.

0:12:12 > 0:12:15"Major sell-off of pregnant, Russian rats."

0:12:15 > 0:12:16"Britain converts the rat."

0:12:16 > 0:12:18"Joins trend to universal currency."

0:12:18 > 0:12:20"Yes, US establishes rat standard."

0:12:20 > 0:12:23"Is every US dollar redeemable for rat?"

0:12:24 > 0:12:26"Dead rats!"

0:12:26 > 0:12:31"Yes, stockpiling of dead rats called global health menace."

0:12:32 > 0:12:34How old are you,

0:12:34 > 0:12:37now that you're not younger than everyone else?

0:12:41 > 0:12:43LOUD MOANING

0:13:13 > 0:13:16Was I expecting you?

0:13:16 > 0:13:18Just passing by.

0:13:18 > 0:13:22Thought you'd drop in, did you? That's nice. I'm glad.

0:13:22 > 0:13:24Been a while.

0:13:28 > 0:13:29I read about it.

0:13:29 > 0:13:33Of course. Or did I see it on TV?

0:13:34 > 0:13:38- What? - What? The wedding!

0:13:38 > 0:13:41Strange you didn't tell me.

0:13:41 > 0:13:44- It's not so strange. - Not so strange?

0:13:44 > 0:13:47Two great fortunes!

0:13:47 > 0:13:53Like one of those great arranged marriages of old empire Europe.

0:13:53 > 0:13:58Except I'm a world citizen with a New York pair of balls.

0:13:58 > 0:14:02So how many billions together do you two represent?

0:14:02 > 0:14:04She's a poet.

0:14:06 > 0:14:10Is that what she is?

0:14:10 > 0:14:12I thought she was a Schifrin.

0:14:12 > 0:14:13Little of both.

0:14:20 > 0:14:24So rich and crisp.

0:14:24 > 0:14:27Does she let you touch her personal parts?

0:14:29 > 0:14:31You look gorgeous today.

0:14:31 > 0:14:33For someone who's 41

0:14:33 > 0:14:37and finally understands what her problem is.

0:14:37 > 0:14:39What's that?

0:14:39 > 0:14:41Life is...

0:14:42 > 0:14:45..too contemporary.

0:14:47 > 0:14:49So how old is your consort?

0:14:52 > 0:14:54Never mind, I don't want to know.

0:14:56 > 0:14:58Tell me to shut up.

0:14:58 > 0:15:01Oh, one more question.

0:15:01 > 0:15:02Is she good in bed?

0:15:04 > 0:15:07Is she good in a limo?

0:15:07 > 0:15:09I don't know yet.

0:15:09 > 0:15:13Aww, that's the trouble with old money.

0:15:13 > 0:15:15Now tell me to shut up.

0:15:17 > 0:15:19I know something you want to know.

0:15:20 > 0:15:22What's that?

0:15:22 > 0:15:24There's a Rothko in private hands

0:15:24 > 0:15:26that I have privileged knowledge of.

0:15:26 > 0:15:29It's about to become available.

0:15:29 > 0:15:30You've seen it?

0:15:32 > 0:15:34Three, four years ago, yes.

0:15:34 > 0:15:36It is...

0:15:38 > 0:15:40..luminous.

0:15:40 > 0:15:42What about the chapel?

0:15:42 > 0:15:44What about it?

0:15:44 > 0:15:45I've been thinking about the chapel.

0:15:45 > 0:15:47You can't buy the goddamn chapel.

0:15:47 > 0:15:50How do you know? Contact the principals.

0:15:50 > 0:15:53I thought you'd be thrilled about the painting. One painting.

0:15:53 > 0:15:57You don't have an important Rothko and you've always want one -

0:15:57 > 0:15:58we've talked about this.

0:15:58 > 0:16:00How many paintings in this chapel?

0:16:02 > 0:16:04I don't know.

0:16:04 > 0:16:0614? 15?

0:16:07 > 0:16:09If they're selling the chapel, I'll keep it intact.

0:16:09 > 0:16:12Tell them. SHE LAUGHS

0:16:12 > 0:16:14Keep it intact? Where?

0:16:14 > 0:16:17Tell them.

0:16:17 > 0:16:19In my apartment.

0:16:19 > 0:16:22There's sufficient space.

0:16:22 > 0:16:24I can make more space.

0:16:24 > 0:16:26My people need to see it.

0:16:26 > 0:16:27Let them buy it.

0:16:27 > 0:16:30Let them outbid me.

0:16:30 > 0:16:32Forgive the pissy way to say this,

0:16:32 > 0:16:36but the Rothko Chapel belongs to the world.

0:16:36 > 0:16:37It's mine if I buy it.

0:16:39 > 0:16:40How much do they want for it?

0:16:40 > 0:16:43They don't want to sell the chapel...

0:16:43 > 0:16:46and I don't want to give you lessons in self-denial

0:16:46 > 0:16:48and social responsibility

0:16:48 > 0:16:52because I don't believe for a second you're as cruel as you sound.

0:16:53 > 0:16:54How much?

0:17:00 > 0:17:04What does it mean to spend money?

0:17:04 > 0:17:06A dollar?

0:17:06 > 0:17:07A million?

0:17:07 > 0:17:10- For a painting?- For anything.

0:17:12 > 0:17:15I have two private elevators now.

0:17:15 > 0:17:18One is programmed to play Satie's piano pieces...

0:17:18 > 0:17:21and move at one quarter the normal speed.

0:17:21 > 0:17:22This is right for Satie,

0:17:22 > 0:17:25and this is the elevator I take when I'm in a certain...

0:17:25 > 0:17:27let's say...

0:17:27 > 0:17:28unsettled mood.

0:17:28 > 0:17:31It calms me, makes me whole.

0:17:31 > 0:17:33Who's the other elevator?

0:17:33 > 0:17:35- Brother Fez.- Who's that?

0:17:35 > 0:17:37The Sufi rap star. You don't know this?

0:17:37 > 0:17:39I miss things.

0:17:39 > 0:17:42I don't know what money is any more.

0:17:43 > 0:17:44I'm losing money by the ton today.

0:17:44 > 0:17:46Many millions.

0:17:46 > 0:17:48Betting against the yuan.

0:17:48 > 0:17:49Isn't the yuan asleep?

0:17:49 > 0:17:51Currency markets never close.

0:17:51 > 0:17:53Shanghai runs day and night,

0:17:53 > 0:17:56now all the major exchanges, seven days a week.

0:17:56 > 0:17:57I miss that.

0:18:00 > 0:18:01I miss a lot.

0:18:06 > 0:18:08How many millions?

0:18:10 > 0:18:11Hundreds of millions.

0:18:13 > 0:18:14How old are you?

0:18:15 > 0:18:1728?

0:18:18 > 0:18:1928.

0:18:20 > 0:18:23I want you to go to the chapel and make them an offer.

0:18:23 > 0:18:25Whatever it takes.

0:18:25 > 0:18:27I want everything that's there.

0:18:27 > 0:18:29Walls and all.

0:18:32 > 0:18:34I remember what you told me once.

0:18:34 > 0:18:35What's that?

0:18:36 > 0:18:38Talent is more erotic when it's wasted.

0:18:39 > 0:18:41What did I mean?

0:18:43 > 0:18:45KNOCKS ON WINDOW

0:18:46 > 0:18:47A word?

0:18:47 > 0:18:49Yeah.

0:18:49 > 0:18:51Complex recommends extra security.

0:18:51 > 0:18:53- You're not happy about this.- No.

0:18:53 > 0:18:55First, a threat to the President...

0:18:55 > 0:18:57You're confident you can handle whatever comes up?

0:18:57 > 0:19:00..now an attack on the managing director of the International Monetary Fund.

0:19:00 > 0:19:03- Arthur Rapp? - Arthur Rapp, yes.

0:19:03 > 0:19:04Where?

0:19:04 > 0:19:08Nike, North Korea, while being interviewed on television.

0:19:08 > 0:19:10It's on all the channels.

0:19:10 > 0:19:13- TV:- 'Director Rapp, will this change your policy on the yuan?'

0:19:13 > 0:19:17'The yuan is uncharacteristically inflated, which makes it unstable,

0:19:17 > 0:19:19'and eventually it will drop,

0:19:19 > 0:19:20'and when it...

0:19:20 > 0:19:21'Argh!'

0:19:30 > 0:19:32The Complex...

0:19:34 > 0:19:36Accept their recommendation.

0:19:36 > 0:19:38Good.

0:19:59 > 0:20:01All these limos... My God.

0:20:01 > 0:20:04You can't tell one from another.

0:20:04 > 0:20:06We could be kids on prom night.

0:20:06 > 0:20:09Or some dumb wedding wherever.

0:20:09 > 0:20:11What's the charm of identical?

0:20:11 > 0:20:13That I'm a powerful person

0:20:13 > 0:20:15who chooses not to demarcate his territory

0:20:15 > 0:20:18with singular driblets of piss, is what?

0:20:18 > 0:20:20Something I need to apologise for?

0:20:20 > 0:20:24I want to go home and tongue-kiss my Maxima.

0:20:24 > 0:20:25You now what today is?

0:20:25 > 0:20:28- Incidentally...- I know. - ..it's my day off, dammit!

0:20:28 > 0:20:31- I know this. - I need this extra day, desperately.

0:20:31 > 0:20:33- I know this. - But you don't know this.

0:20:33 > 0:20:37You can't know what it's like, I am a single, struggling mother.

0:20:37 > 0:20:39We have a situation here.

0:20:39 > 0:20:41I am a mother running in the park

0:20:41 > 0:20:44when my phone explodes in my navel

0:20:44 > 0:20:46I think it's the kid's nanny who never calls

0:20:46 > 0:20:48until the fever reaches 105.

0:20:48 > 0:20:50But it's this situation, it....

0:20:50 > 0:20:52We have a situation all right.

0:20:52 > 0:20:55We have a yuan carry that could crush us in hours.

0:20:55 > 0:20:59Take some water. Sit on the banquette.

0:20:59 > 0:21:01I like face to face.

0:21:01 > 0:21:03And I don't need to look at all those screens,

0:21:03 > 0:21:04I know what's happening.

0:21:04 > 0:21:07- The yuan will fall.- That's right.

0:21:07 > 0:21:08Consumer spending's down.

0:21:08 > 0:21:10That's right.

0:21:10 > 0:21:13Besides which, the Bank of China left interest rates unchanged.

0:21:14 > 0:21:16This happened today?

0:21:16 > 0:21:19This happened tonight in Shanghai. I called the source at Shenzhen.

0:21:19 > 0:21:23- While running?- While flinging my body down Madison Avenue

0:21:23 > 0:21:25to get here on time.

0:21:25 > 0:21:27The yuan can't go any higher.

0:21:27 > 0:21:30That's true, that's right. Except it just did.

0:21:34 > 0:21:35I didn't sleep last night.

0:21:53 > 0:21:56- There's a time limit. - Doctor Ingram...

0:21:56 > 0:21:59- Who the fuck are you? - Doctor Ingram.

0:21:59 > 0:22:00Where's Doctor Nevius?

0:22:00 > 0:22:02Called away suddenly. A personal matter.

0:22:02 > 0:22:05Speak slowly and clearly.

0:22:05 > 0:22:09Called away suddenly. I don't know... A family crisis...

0:22:09 > 0:22:12I'm the associate, I...

0:22:12 > 0:22:14flushed out your ear holes once.

0:22:18 > 0:22:20You do this why?

0:22:20 > 0:22:21What?

0:22:21 > 0:22:23Every day.

0:22:23 > 0:22:25No matter...?

0:22:25 > 0:22:27Wherever I am, that's right.

0:22:27 > 0:22:28No matter.

0:22:40 > 0:22:44So you do what? Same routine every day?

0:22:44 > 0:22:47Varies. Depending.

0:22:47 > 0:22:49So he comes to your house...

0:22:49 > 0:22:51Nice(!)

0:22:51 > 0:22:52On weekends.

0:22:52 > 0:22:55We die, Jane, on weekends. People.

0:22:55 > 0:22:57It happens.

0:22:57 > 0:22:59You're right.

0:22:59 > 0:23:00I didn't think of that.

0:23:00 > 0:23:02We die BECAUSE it's the weekend.

0:23:03 > 0:23:07I thought we were moving, but we're not any more.

0:23:07 > 0:23:09The President's in town.

0:23:09 > 0:23:10Oh, you're right.

0:23:10 > 0:23:13I forgot. I thought I saw him when I ran out of the park.

0:23:13 > 0:23:15There was an entourage of limousines

0:23:15 > 0:23:17going down 5th with a motorcycle escort.

0:23:17 > 0:23:20I thought all these limos were for the President... I can understand.

0:23:20 > 0:23:22But it was somebody famous's funeral.

0:23:23 > 0:23:25We die every day.

0:23:35 > 0:23:36What do we do about this?

0:23:39 > 0:23:40Let it express itself.

0:23:40 > 0:23:42What? Do nothing?

0:23:42 > 0:23:44Let it express itself.

0:23:46 > 0:23:48You can stand up now.

0:23:50 > 0:23:53So, look, we have two rumours working in our favour.

0:23:53 > 0:23:56First, there's the bankruptcies for six straight months.

0:23:56 > 0:23:58More each month, more on the way.

0:23:58 > 0:24:00Large Chinese corporations.

0:24:00 > 0:24:01This is good.

0:24:01 > 0:24:03The yuan will drop.

0:24:03 > 0:24:05This is loss of faith. It will force the yuan to drop.

0:24:05 > 0:24:07Dollar will settle up.

0:24:07 > 0:24:09The yuan will drop. Where's Chin?

0:24:09 > 0:24:11Working on visual patterns.

0:24:11 > 0:24:14- This thing doesn't chart. - It charts.

0:24:14 > 0:24:17It doesn't chart the way you chart technology stocks.

0:24:17 > 0:24:19You can find real patterns there,

0:24:19 > 0:24:22locate predictable components. This is different.

0:24:23 > 0:24:26We're teaching him to see.

0:24:26 > 0:24:30You should do the seeing, you're the seer.

0:24:30 > 0:24:31What is he? He's a kid.

0:24:31 > 0:24:34He's got the streak in his hair, he's got the earring...

0:24:34 > 0:24:36He doesn't have the earring.

0:24:36 > 0:24:38If he was any dreamier, we'd have to put him on life support.

0:24:38 > 0:24:41HE GRUNTS UNCOMFORTABLY What's the second rumour?

0:24:41 > 0:24:45There's a rumour, it seems, involving the Finance Minister...

0:24:45 > 0:24:48Some kind of scandal about a misconstrued comment.

0:24:48 > 0:24:52He made a comment about the economy that may have been misconstrued.

0:24:52 > 0:24:55The whole country is now analysing the grammar and syntax

0:24:55 > 0:24:57of this comment.

0:24:57 > 0:25:01Or it wasn't even what he said. It was when he paused.

0:25:01 > 0:25:02They're trying to construe

0:25:02 > 0:25:03the meaning of the pause.

0:25:05 > 0:25:07So it may be deeper

0:25:07 > 0:25:08even than grammar.

0:25:08 > 0:25:11It may be breathing.

0:25:11 > 0:25:15So the whole economy convulses because the man took a breath.

0:25:18 > 0:25:20You gripped the water bottle.

0:25:22 > 0:25:24Yes, it's that soft-type plastic.

0:25:24 > 0:25:26You grip it.

0:25:26 > 0:25:27You choke it.

0:25:29 > 0:25:31It's a matter-of-fact thing.

0:25:31 > 0:25:32It's sexual tension.

0:25:32 > 0:25:34It's everyday nervousness in a life...

0:25:34 > 0:25:36It's sexual tension.

0:25:37 > 0:25:39Days like this...

0:25:44 > 0:25:45What?

0:25:47 > 0:25:50Oh, that whole sad business of Judeo-Christian jogging.

0:25:50 > 0:25:51You were not born to run.

0:25:51 > 0:25:53I look at you. I know what you are.

0:25:53 > 0:25:55You're sloppy-bodied, smelly and wet.

0:25:55 > 0:25:58A woman who was born to sit strapped in a chair,

0:25:58 > 0:26:01while a man tells her how much she excites him.

0:26:01 > 0:26:04How come we've never spent this kind of time together?

0:26:13 > 0:26:15Your prostate is asymmetrical.

0:26:52 > 0:26:54Those two... They're ours?

0:26:57 > 0:26:58I felt the need...

0:26:59 > 0:27:01Imperative that we reroute.

0:27:01 > 0:27:04- The situation is what?- This.

0:27:04 > 0:27:05Water main break.

0:27:05 > 0:27:07We have flood conditions in the streets ahead.

0:27:07 > 0:27:09A state of chaos.

0:27:09 > 0:27:12This. The question of the President and his whereabouts.

0:27:12 > 0:27:13He is fluid. He is moving.

0:27:13 > 0:27:16Wherever he goes, our satellite receiver reports a ripple effect

0:27:16 > 0:27:18in the traffic that causes mass paralysis.

0:27:18 > 0:27:19This also.

0:27:19 > 0:27:22There's a funeral proceeding slowly downtown

0:27:22 > 0:27:24and now deflecting westward.

0:27:24 > 0:27:28Many vehicles, numerous mourners on foot. And finally this.

0:27:28 > 0:27:31We have a report of imminent activity in the area.

0:27:31 > 0:27:32Activity?

0:27:32 > 0:27:34Imminent.

0:27:34 > 0:27:37The nature is yet unknown.

0:27:37 > 0:27:39Complex says "use caution".

0:28:22 > 0:28:24Recite to me.

0:28:26 > 0:28:28Where's your necktie?

0:28:28 > 0:28:30I had my check-up.

0:28:30 > 0:28:32Saw my heart on the screen.

0:28:35 > 0:28:37I don't like saying this...

0:28:37 > 0:28:40But?

0:28:40 > 0:28:42You smell of sex.

0:28:42 > 0:28:44That's my doctor's appointment you smell.

0:28:44 > 0:28:46I smell sex all over you.

0:28:46 > 0:28:48It's what?

0:28:50 > 0:28:52It's hunger you smell.

0:28:52 > 0:28:54I want to eat lunch.

0:28:54 > 0:28:57You want to eat lunch.

0:28:57 > 0:28:59We're people in the world.

0:28:59 > 0:29:01We need to eat and talk.

0:29:05 > 0:29:08I'm not sure how hungry I am.

0:29:08 > 0:29:10Eat. You'll find out.

0:29:11 > 0:29:12Speaking of sex...

0:29:12 > 0:29:16We've been married only weeks. Barely weeks.

0:29:16 > 0:29:20Everything is barely weeks. We have minutes to live.

0:29:20 > 0:29:23We don't want to start counting the times, do we?

0:29:23 > 0:29:25And having solemn discussions on the subject?

0:29:25 > 0:29:27No, we want to do it.

0:29:27 > 0:29:31And we will. We shall.

0:29:31 > 0:29:33We want to have it.

0:29:33 > 0:29:36Sex.

0:29:36 > 0:29:37Yes.

0:29:37 > 0:29:40Because there isn't time not to have it.

0:29:40 > 0:29:45Time is a thing that grows scarcer every day. What, you don't know this?

0:29:45 > 0:29:48I like that bookshop. Do you know why?

0:29:48 > 0:29:52Because it's semi-underground.

0:29:52 > 0:29:55You feel hidden. You like to hide.

0:29:55 > 0:29:57From what?

0:29:57 > 0:29:59Sometimes only noise.

0:30:00 > 0:30:03You're one of those silent, wistful children,

0:30:03 > 0:30:05glued to the shadows.

0:30:05 > 0:30:07And you?

0:30:07 > 0:30:09I don't know. I don't think about it.

0:30:09 > 0:30:13Think about one thing and tell me what it was.

0:30:13 > 0:30:15All right, one thing.

0:30:15 > 0:30:18When I was four, I figured out how much I'd weigh

0:30:18 > 0:30:20on each of the planets in the Solar System.

0:30:20 > 0:30:23Oh, that's nice.

0:30:23 > 0:30:25I like that.

0:30:25 > 0:30:28Such science and ego combined.

0:30:30 > 0:30:32When are we going to the lake?

0:30:32 > 0:30:34Fuck the lake.

0:30:34 > 0:30:36I thought we liked it there?

0:30:36 > 0:30:38After all the planning, all the construction...

0:30:38 > 0:30:42To get away, to be alone together. It's quiet at the lake.

0:30:42 > 0:30:43It's quiet in town.

0:30:44 > 0:30:48The way we live, yes, I suppose.

0:30:48 > 0:30:51High enough, far enough.

0:30:51 > 0:30:53What about your car?

0:30:53 > 0:30:55Not so quiet, surely.

0:30:55 > 0:30:57You spend a lot of time there.

0:30:57 > 0:30:58I had the car 'Prousted'.

0:31:00 > 0:31:01Yes?

0:31:03 > 0:31:05The way they build a stretch is this...

0:31:05 > 0:31:08Take a vehicle's base unit and cut in half

0:31:08 > 0:31:10with a huge, throbbing buzz saw device.

0:31:10 > 0:31:14Then they add a segment to lengthen the chassis by 10, 11, 12 feet.

0:31:14 > 0:31:18Whatever desired dimension. 22 feet, if you like.

0:31:18 > 0:31:20While they were doing this to my car,

0:31:20 > 0:31:22I sent word that they had to 'Proust' it -

0:31:22 > 0:31:25Cork-line it against street noise.

0:31:25 > 0:31:27It's lovely, actually. I love that.

0:31:29 > 0:31:33The vehicles are armoured, of course. This complicated the cork lining.

0:31:33 > 0:31:35But they managed in the end.

0:31:37 > 0:31:40It's a gesture. It's a thing a man does.

0:31:40 > 0:31:41Did it work?

0:31:41 > 0:31:43How could it work? No.

0:31:43 > 0:31:47This city eats and sleeps noise. Makes noise out of every century.

0:31:47 > 0:31:50Makes the same noises that were made in the 17th century,

0:31:50 > 0:31:52along with all the other noises that have evolved since then.

0:31:52 > 0:31:54No.

0:31:54 > 0:31:56But I don't mind the noise.

0:31:56 > 0:31:59The noise energizes me.

0:31:59 > 0:32:01The important thing is that it's there.

0:32:01 > 0:32:03The cork?

0:32:03 > 0:32:05That's right. The cork.

0:32:06 > 0:32:08This is what finally matters.

0:32:16 > 0:32:18Is this what I wanted?

0:32:18 > 0:32:20Tell me what you wanted.

0:32:20 > 0:32:22Duck consomme with a herb twist.

0:32:25 > 0:32:26It's true, you know.

0:32:26 > 0:32:29You do actually reek of sexual discharge.

0:32:31 > 0:32:34It's not the sex you think I've had.

0:32:34 > 0:32:37It's the sex I want, that's what you smell on me.

0:32:37 > 0:32:40Cos the more I look at you, the more I know about us both.

0:32:40 > 0:32:42Tell me what that means.

0:32:42 > 0:32:45Or don't. No, don't.

0:32:45 > 0:32:47And the more I want to have sex with you.

0:32:47 > 0:32:50Because there's a certain kind of sex that has an element of cleansing.

0:32:50 > 0:32:53It's the antidote to disillusion. The counter-poison.

0:32:56 > 0:32:59You need to be inflamed, don't you?

0:32:59 > 0:33:01This is your element.

0:33:01 > 0:33:03Where were you going after the bookstore?

0:33:03 > 0:33:04Because there's a hotel...

0:33:04 > 0:33:07I was going to the bookstore. Period.

0:33:07 > 0:33:09I was in the bookstore, I was happy there.

0:33:11 > 0:33:13Where were you going?

0:33:13 > 0:33:14To get a haircut.

0:33:16 > 0:33:18Do you need a haircut?

0:33:18 > 0:33:19I need anything you can give me.

0:33:19 > 0:33:21Be nice.

0:33:22 > 0:33:26I need all the meanings of the inflamed.

0:33:26 > 0:33:29There's a hotel just across the avenue. We can start over.

0:33:29 > 0:33:32Or finish with intense feeling, that's one of the meanings.

0:33:32 > 0:33:36To arouse a passionate feeling. We can finish what we barely started.

0:33:36 > 0:33:39Two hotels, in fact. We have a choice.

0:33:39 > 0:33:42I don't think I want to pursue this.

0:33:42 > 0:33:44No, you don't. You wouldn't.

0:33:46 > 0:33:47Be nice to me.

0:33:50 > 0:33:51GLASS SHATTERS NEARBY

0:33:56 > 0:33:58- BOTH: - A spectre is haunting the world!

0:33:58 > 0:34:03A spectre is haunting the world! A spectre is haunting the world!

0:34:16 > 0:34:19We want to think about the art of money-making.

0:34:19 > 0:34:21The Greeks have a word for it.

0:34:21 > 0:34:23Chrimatistikos.

0:34:23 > 0:34:26But we have to give the word a little leeway.

0:34:26 > 0:34:28Adapt it to the current situation.

0:34:28 > 0:34:31Because money has taken a turn.

0:34:31 > 0:34:34All wealth has become wealth for its own sake.

0:34:34 > 0:34:36There's no other kind of enormous wealth.

0:34:36 > 0:34:39Money has lost its narrative quality,

0:34:39 > 0:34:41the way painting did once upon a time.

0:34:41 > 0:34:44Money is talking to itself.

0:34:44 > 0:34:49I want this car, which I love. The glow of the screens.

0:34:49 > 0:34:50I love the screens.

0:34:50 > 0:34:54It's the glow of cyber-capital. So radiant and seductive.

0:34:54 > 0:34:57I understand none of this.

0:34:57 > 0:35:01Does it ever stop? Does it slow down?

0:35:01 > 0:35:02Of course not.

0:35:02 > 0:35:06Why should it? It's fantastic.

0:35:06 > 0:35:09But you know how shameless I am in the presence of anything

0:35:09 > 0:35:11that calls itself an idea.

0:35:11 > 0:35:15The idea is time. Living in the future.

0:35:15 > 0:35:18Look at those numbers running.

0:35:18 > 0:35:19Money makes time.

0:35:19 > 0:35:21It used to be the other way around.

0:35:21 > 0:35:24Clock time accelerated the rise of the capitalism.

0:35:24 > 0:35:26People stopped thinking about eternity

0:35:26 > 0:35:28and began to concentrate on hours.

0:35:28 > 0:35:30Measurable hours, man hours -

0:35:30 > 0:35:32using labour more efficiently.

0:35:32 > 0:35:35It's cyber-capital that creates the future.

0:35:35 > 0:35:38What is the measurement called a nanosecond?

0:35:38 > 0:35:40Ten to the minus ninth power.

0:35:40 > 0:35:42- This is what? - One billionth of a second.

0:35:42 > 0:35:44I understand none of it.

0:35:44 > 0:35:46But it tells me how rigorous we need to be

0:35:46 > 0:35:49in order to take adequate measure of the world around us.

0:35:49 > 0:35:50There are zeptoseconds.

0:35:50 > 0:35:52Good, I'm glad.

0:35:52 > 0:35:55Yoctoseconds - one septillionth of a second.

0:35:55 > 0:35:58Because time is a corporate asset now.

0:35:58 > 0:36:01It belongs to the free market system.

0:36:01 > 0:36:03The present is harder to find.

0:36:03 > 0:36:04It is being sucked out of the world

0:36:04 > 0:36:07to make way for the future of uncontrolled markets

0:36:07 > 0:36:09and huge investment potential.

0:36:09 > 0:36:11The future becomes insistent.

0:36:13 > 0:36:16This is why something will happen soon. Maybe today.

0:36:16 > 0:36:18To correct the acceleration of time

0:36:18 > 0:36:21and bring nature back to normal, more or less.

0:37:00 > 0:37:02You have to understand.

0:37:02 > 0:37:06The more visionary the idea, the more people it leaves behind.

0:37:06 > 0:37:08This is what the protest is all about.

0:37:08 > 0:37:11Visions of technology and wealth,

0:37:11 > 0:37:12the force of the cyber-capital

0:37:12 > 0:37:15that will send people to the gutter to retch and die.

0:37:15 > 0:37:18What is the flaw of human rationality?

0:37:19 > 0:37:20What?

0:37:20 > 0:37:22It pretends not to see the horror and death

0:37:22 > 0:37:24at the end of the schemes it builds.

0:37:24 > 0:37:27This is a protest against the future.

0:37:27 > 0:37:28They want to hold off the future.

0:37:28 > 0:37:31They want to normalise it, keep it from overwhelming the present.

0:37:31 > 0:37:33The future is always a wholeness,

0:37:33 > 0:37:36a sameness - we're all tall and happy there.

0:37:36 > 0:37:38This is why the future fails.

0:37:38 > 0:37:41It can never be the cruel and happy place we want to make it.

0:37:41 > 0:37:43What would happen if they knew

0:37:43 > 0:37:45that the head of Packer Capital was in the car?

0:37:45 > 0:37:48We know what the anarchists have always said.

0:37:48 > 0:37:51- Yes.- Tell me.

0:37:51 > 0:37:54The urge to destroy is a creative urge.

0:37:54 > 0:37:57This is also a hallmark of capitalist thought.

0:37:57 > 0:37:59Enforced destruction.

0:37:59 > 0:38:02Old industries have to be harshly eliminated.

0:38:02 > 0:38:04New markets have to be forcibly claimed

0:38:04 > 0:38:07and old markets have to be re-exploited.

0:38:07 > 0:38:10Destroy the past. Make the future.

0:38:19 > 0:38:21This is the thing about genius.

0:38:21 > 0:38:24Genius alters the terms of its habitat.

0:38:24 > 0:38:27Technology is crucial to civilisation. Why?

0:38:27 > 0:38:29Because it helps us to make our fate.

0:38:29 > 0:38:33We don't need God, or miracles or flight of the bumblebee,

0:38:33 > 0:38:36but it is also crouched and undecidable.

0:38:36 > 0:38:38It can go either way.

0:38:39 > 0:38:43You've been talking about the future being impatient,

0:38:43 > 0:38:44pressing upon us.

0:38:44 > 0:38:45That was theory.

0:38:45 > 0:38:47I am your chief of theory.

0:38:47 > 0:38:49I deal in theory.

0:39:16 > 0:39:17It's not original.

0:39:19 > 0:39:20Hey...

0:39:20 > 0:39:23What's original?

0:39:23 > 0:39:24He did it, didn't he?

0:39:24 > 0:39:26It's an appropriation.

0:39:28 > 0:39:31He poured the gasoline and lit the match.

0:39:31 > 0:39:33All those Vietnamese monks...

0:39:33 > 0:39:36one after another in all their lotus positions.

0:39:39 > 0:39:41Imagine the pain.

0:39:41 > 0:39:43Sit here and feel it.

0:39:43 > 0:39:46Immolating themselves endlessly.

0:39:47 > 0:39:49To say something.

0:39:50 > 0:39:53To make people think.

0:39:53 > 0:39:55It's not original.

0:40:04 > 0:40:06- Just now.- What?

0:40:06 > 0:40:09A report from the Complex. Concerns your safety.

0:40:09 > 0:40:10A little late, are they?

0:40:10 > 0:40:12This is specific and categorical.

0:40:12 > 0:40:14There's been a threat, then.

0:40:14 > 0:40:17Assessment, credible red. Highest order of urgency.

0:40:17 > 0:40:20This means an incursion is already in progress.

0:40:20 > 0:40:21Now we know.

0:40:21 > 0:40:24Now we have to act on what we know.

0:40:24 > 0:40:26But we still want what we want.

0:40:28 > 0:40:29We want a haircut.

0:40:34 > 0:40:36It's interesting, isn't it?

0:40:37 > 0:40:39About men and immortality.

0:40:40 > 0:40:46You live in a tower that soars to heaven and goes unpunished by God.

0:40:46 > 0:40:48And you bought an aeroplane.

0:40:49 > 0:40:51I've nearly forgotten this.

0:40:51 > 0:40:54Soviet or ex-soviet.

0:40:54 > 0:40:59A strategic bomber, capable of knocking out a small city.

0:40:59 > 0:41:01Is this right?

0:41:01 > 0:41:06It's an old Tu-160. NATO calls it Blackjack A.

0:41:06 > 0:41:08It was deployed around 1988.

0:41:08 > 0:41:11Carries nuclear bombs and cruise missiles.

0:41:11 > 0:41:13These were not included in the deal.

0:41:14 > 0:41:18And they wouldn't let you fly it. Could you fly it?

0:41:18 > 0:41:20Could and did.

0:41:20 > 0:41:22They wouldn't let me fly it armed.

0:41:22 > 0:41:24Who wouldn't?

0:41:24 > 0:41:26State Department.

0:41:26 > 0:41:30The Pentagon, The Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco and Firearms.

0:41:30 > 0:41:32The Russians?

0:41:32 > 0:41:33What Russians?

0:41:33 > 0:41:35I bought it black market and dirt cheap

0:41:35 > 0:41:37from a Belgian arms dealer in Kazakhstan.

0:41:37 > 0:41:41That's where I took the controls, for half an hour, over the desert.

0:41:41 > 0:41:44US Dollars, 31 million.

0:41:44 > 0:41:46Where is it now?

0:41:46 > 0:41:48Parked in a storage facility in Arizona,

0:41:48 > 0:41:52waiting for replacement parts that nobody can find.

0:41:52 > 0:41:53Sitting in the wind.

0:41:55 > 0:41:57I go out there now and then.

0:41:57 > 0:41:59To do what?

0:41:59 > 0:42:02To look at it.

0:42:02 > 0:42:03It's mine.

0:42:07 > 0:42:10People will not die.

0:42:10 > 0:42:12Isn't this the creed of the new culture?

0:42:14 > 0:42:18People will be absorbed in streams of information.

0:42:18 > 0:42:20I know nothing about this.

0:42:21 > 0:42:23Computers will die.

0:42:24 > 0:42:27They're dying in their present form.

0:42:27 > 0:42:30They're just about dead as distinct units.

0:42:31 > 0:42:35A box, a screen, a keyboard...

0:42:36 > 0:42:40They're melting into the texture of everyday life.

0:42:40 > 0:42:42Is this true or not?

0:42:42 > 0:42:44Even the word "computer".

0:42:44 > 0:42:47Even the word "computer" sounds backward and dumb.

0:43:04 > 0:43:06HE GROANS

0:43:09 > 0:43:11You work out?

0:43:11 > 0:43:126% body fat.

0:43:12 > 0:43:15Used to be my number. Then I got lazy.

0:43:18 > 0:43:20What are you gonna do about it?

0:43:20 > 0:43:24Hit the machines in the morning and run in the park at night.

0:43:28 > 0:43:30Where is he now?

0:43:30 > 0:43:31Who?

0:43:33 > 0:43:35You know.

0:43:36 > 0:43:39He's in the lobby. Torval.

0:43:39 > 0:43:42He's watching them come and go.

0:43:42 > 0:43:45Danko's in the hall outside.

0:43:46 > 0:43:48Who's that?

0:43:48 > 0:43:50Danko, my partner.

0:43:53 > 0:43:55He's new.

0:43:55 > 0:44:00I'M new. He's been watching your back for some time now.

0:44:00 > 0:44:03Came over after those wars in the Balkans. He's a veteran.

0:44:07 > 0:44:09What's he gonna say to you about all of this?

0:44:11 > 0:44:13Torval.

0:44:13 > 0:44:16That's who you're talking about?

0:44:16 > 0:44:17Say his name.

0:44:17 > 0:44:20What's he gonna say to you?

0:44:20 > 0:44:22Just so you're safe.

0:44:22 > 0:44:24That's the job.

0:44:27 > 0:44:29Men get possessive.

0:44:29 > 0:44:31What, you don't know this?

0:44:31 > 0:44:33I heard the rumour.

0:44:33 > 0:44:38Fact is, I technically speaking got off duty an hour ago, so...

0:44:38 > 0:44:40it's basically my time we're dealing with here.

0:45:03 > 0:45:05Do you find this interesting?

0:45:05 > 0:45:07What?

0:45:08 > 0:45:10Protecting someone in danger.

0:45:11 > 0:45:15What makes you willing to do this? Take this risk?

0:45:15 > 0:45:16Maybe you're worth it.

0:45:19 > 0:45:21Maybe it's just the pay.

0:45:21 > 0:45:23Pay's pretty good.

0:45:25 > 0:45:28The risk?

0:45:28 > 0:45:30I don't think about the risk.

0:45:30 > 0:45:33You're the man in the crosshairs. I figure the risk is yours.

0:45:35 > 0:45:38But is it interesting?

0:45:38 > 0:45:41It's interesting to be near men somebody wants to kill.

0:45:45 > 0:45:47You know what they say, don't you?

0:45:48 > 0:45:50What?

0:45:50 > 0:45:53The logical extension of business is murder.

0:45:55 > 0:45:57Move a little left.

0:45:57 > 0:45:59Move left...

0:46:04 > 0:46:05Nice.

0:46:05 > 0:46:07Perfect.

0:46:09 > 0:46:11What kind of weapon did he give you?

0:46:12 > 0:46:14Taser.

0:46:26 > 0:46:29He doesn't trust me yet with deadly force.

0:46:34 > 0:46:36How many volts at your disposal?

0:46:36 > 0:46:38100,000.

0:46:38 > 0:46:40Jam your nervous system.

0:46:41 > 0:46:44Drop you to your knees.

0:46:44 > 0:46:45Like this.

0:46:51 > 0:46:52Stun me.

0:46:53 > 0:46:55I mean it.

0:46:55 > 0:46:59I want you to do it, Kendra. Show me what it feels like.

0:46:59 > 0:47:01I'm looking for more.

0:47:02 > 0:47:05Show me something I don't know.

0:47:05 > 0:47:07Stun me to my DNA.

0:47:07 > 0:47:09Come on, do it. Click the switch.

0:47:09 > 0:47:10Aim and fire.

0:47:10 > 0:47:13I want all the voltage the weapon holds.

0:47:13 > 0:47:15Do it.

0:47:15 > 0:47:16Shoot it.

0:47:17 > 0:47:19Now.

0:47:48 > 0:47:50I need to know where you're going.

0:47:50 > 0:47:52Wait...and learn.

0:47:59 > 0:48:01You smoke since when?

0:48:02 > 0:48:04I took it up when I was 15.

0:48:06 > 0:48:09It's one of those things a girl takes up.

0:48:09 > 0:48:13It tells her she's more than a skinny body no-one looks at.

0:48:13 > 0:48:16There's a certain drama in her life.

0:48:16 > 0:48:21She notices herself. Then other people notice her.

0:48:21 > 0:48:25Then she marries one of them. Then they go to dinner.

0:48:28 > 0:48:30You're wearing a Pau Du Soir cocktail dress.

0:48:32 > 0:48:34Yes?

0:48:34 > 0:48:36It's navy blue.

0:48:36 > 0:48:38Yes.

0:48:39 > 0:48:41And that's your...

0:48:41 > 0:48:43silver Lucide jewellery.

0:48:44 > 0:48:47Yes, it is.

0:48:47 > 0:48:49I'm noticing.

0:48:49 > 0:48:50How was the play?

0:48:51 > 0:48:53I left at intermission, didn't I?

0:48:55 > 0:48:56What was it about and who was in it?

0:48:56 > 0:48:59I'm making conversation.

0:49:00 > 0:49:03I went on impulse.

0:49:03 > 0:49:05The audience was sparse.

0:49:05 > 0:49:09Five minutes after the curtains went up, I understood why.

0:49:09 > 0:49:11Where is your jacket?

0:49:14 > 0:49:16Where is my jacket?

0:49:16 > 0:49:18You were wearing a suit jacket earlier.

0:49:19 > 0:49:20Where is your jacket?

0:49:23 > 0:49:25Lost in the scuffle, I guess.

0:49:25 > 0:49:27You saw the car.

0:49:27 > 0:49:28We were under attack by anarchists.

0:49:28 > 0:49:31Just two hours ago, there were major global protests.

0:49:31 > 0:49:32Now what? Forgotten.

0:49:33 > 0:49:36There's something else I wish I could forget.

0:49:36 > 0:49:38That's my peanuts you smell.

0:49:39 > 0:49:42Didn't I see you come out of the hotel up the street

0:49:42 > 0:49:45while I was standing outside the theatre?

0:49:45 > 0:49:49Is that the hotel you wanted to take me to?

0:49:49 > 0:49:51We don't need a hotel.

0:49:51 > 0:49:52We'll do it in the ladies' room.

0:49:52 > 0:49:55We'll go to the alley out back and rattle the garbage cans. Look...

0:49:55 > 0:49:58I'm trying to make contact in the most ordinary ways.

0:49:58 > 0:50:02To see and hear. To notice your mood.

0:50:02 > 0:50:03Your clothes.

0:50:03 > 0:50:04This is important.

0:50:04 > 0:50:07Are your stockings on straight? I understand this at some level.

0:50:07 > 0:50:09How people look...

0:50:09 > 0:50:10what people wear.

0:50:10 > 0:50:12How they smell.

0:50:12 > 0:50:14Do you mind my saying that?

0:50:15 > 0:50:17Am I being too wifely?

0:50:19 > 0:50:21I'll tell you what the problem is.

0:50:21 > 0:50:24I don't know how to be indifferent.

0:50:24 > 0:50:26I can't master this.

0:50:26 > 0:50:29And it makes me susceptible to pain.

0:50:30 > 0:50:33In other words, it hurts.

0:50:35 > 0:50:37This is good.

0:50:38 > 0:50:39We're like people talking.

0:50:39 > 0:50:41Isn't this how they talk?

1:05:40 > 1:05:43I woke up this morning and knew it was time.

1:05:43 > 1:05:44You knew where to come.

1:05:46 > 1:05:50Said to myself, "I want a haircut".

1:05:50 > 1:05:53Maybe you want to eat something first.

1:05:54 > 1:05:56I could eat something.

1:05:56 > 1:06:01I have takeout in the fridge that I nibble at when I get the urge.

1:06:14 > 1:06:18So, you married that woman?

1:06:31 > 1:06:37I have chickpeas all mashed up and eggplants with rice and nuts.

1:06:37 > 1:06:40- Give me the eggplants. - Yeah. Good.

1:06:42 > 1:06:46Your father did not tell your mother until he had to.

1:06:46 > 1:06:51He went fast once they found it. He was diagnosed and then he went.

1:06:51 > 1:06:54You were four years old.

1:06:54 > 1:06:56- Five.- Exactly.

1:06:56 > 1:06:58And you?

1:06:58 > 1:07:00You're keeping well?

1:07:00 > 1:07:04- CHUCKLING:- You know me, kid. I could tell you I can't complain.

1:07:04 > 1:07:06But I could definitely complain.

1:07:06 > 1:07:09The thing is, I don't wanna, cos...

1:07:09 > 1:07:10there ain't time.

1:07:10 > 1:07:14Let me think what I have that we could drink.

1:07:14 > 1:07:17Water from the tap. I drink water now.

1:07:17 > 1:07:22I have a bottle of liqueur that's been there don't ask how long.

1:07:22 > 1:07:24I could drink some of that.

1:07:24 > 1:07:27Because if your father himself walked in here

1:07:27 > 1:07:29and I offered him tap water...

1:07:29 > 1:07:33oh, God forbid, he would rip out my last hair.

1:07:35 > 1:07:38Maybe we could ask my driver to come in. My driver's outside in the car.

1:07:38 > 1:07:42Oh, we could give him the other eggplants.

1:07:47 > 1:07:49I drove a chequered cab.

1:07:49 > 1:07:52Big. Bouncy.

1:07:52 > 1:07:58I drove nights. I was young. What could they do to me?

1:07:58 > 1:08:00Night is not so good if you have a wife and child.

1:08:00 > 1:08:04Besides, I can tell you, it was crazy enough in the daytime.

1:08:04 > 1:08:07I loved my cab.

1:08:07 > 1:08:10I drove 12 hours nonstop.

1:08:10 > 1:08:13I stopped only to pee.

1:08:15 > 1:08:19A man is hit one day by another taxi. Comes flying into my taxi.

1:08:19 > 1:08:22I mean, he was flying in the air, crashed against the windscreen.

1:08:22 > 1:08:26Right there in my face. Blood is everywhere.

1:08:26 > 1:08:30I never left my garage without my Windex.

1:08:30 > 1:08:34I am Acting Secretary of External Affairs in a previous life.

1:08:34 > 1:08:36I said to him, "Get off from there.

1:08:36 > 1:08:40"I cannot drive with your body on my windscreen."

1:08:40 > 1:08:42I ate at the wheel.

1:08:42 > 1:08:45I kept my sandwiches in tinfoil.

1:08:45 > 1:08:49I ate at the wheel also. I could not afford to stop driving.

1:08:52 > 1:08:54Where did you pee, Ibrahim?

1:08:54 > 1:08:57I peed under the Manhattan Bridge.

1:08:57 > 1:08:59This is where I peed exactly.

1:08:59 > 1:09:02I peed in parks and alleys.

1:09:02 > 1:09:05I peed in a pet cemetery once.

1:09:05 > 1:09:08Night is better in some ways, I am certain of it.

1:09:12 > 1:09:18I was here, what? Probably four hours a day.

1:09:18 > 1:09:20Helping my father cut hair.

1:09:20 > 1:09:24Nights, I drove my cab. Oh, I loved my cab.

1:09:24 > 1:09:28I had a little fan that worked on a battery,

1:09:28 > 1:09:30because air conditioning?

1:09:30 > 1:09:32Forget about it in that day and age.

1:09:32 > 1:09:34And then I had a drinking cup

1:09:34 > 1:09:38with a magnet that I stuck on the dashboard.

1:09:38 > 1:09:42I had my steering wheel upholstered, very nice, in zebra.

1:09:42 > 1:09:45And my daughter, with her photograph on the visor.

1:09:45 > 1:09:49I give this guy his first haircut.

1:09:49 > 1:09:52He didn't want to sit in the car seat.

1:09:52 > 1:09:56His father tried to jam him in there.

1:09:56 > 1:09:59He was going "No, no, no, no!"

1:09:59 > 1:10:02So I put him right where he's sitting now.

1:10:02 > 1:10:04His father pinned him down.

1:10:04 > 1:10:10I cut his father's hair when he was a kid. Yeah, I cut his hair.

1:10:12 > 1:10:16But where is the chief of security in this situation?

1:10:16 > 1:10:19I realised he's not with us.

1:10:19 > 1:10:20We are alone.

1:10:22 > 1:10:24I gave him the rest of the night off.

1:10:26 > 1:10:29You have protection, right, in the car?

1:10:29 > 1:10:31Protection?

1:10:31 > 1:10:34Protection. You know what that means?

1:10:34 > 1:10:37- I had a gun, but I threw it away. - But why?

1:10:40 > 1:10:44I didn't want to make plans. I wasn't thinking ahead.

1:10:44 > 1:10:46Didn't want to take precautions.

1:10:46 > 1:10:48You know how that sounds? How does that sound?

1:10:48 > 1:10:51I thought you were some kind of big shot

1:10:51 > 1:10:54that destroyed people in a blink of an eye.

1:10:54 > 1:10:57But you sound pretty iffy to me.

1:10:57 > 1:11:02This is Mike Packer's kid that had a gun and threw it away?

1:11:02 > 1:11:03What is that?

1:11:03 > 1:11:05Yes, what is that?

1:11:05 > 1:11:08Yeah. In this part of town, and you had a gun.

1:11:08 > 1:11:11There are steps you must take to safeguard yourself.

1:11:11 > 1:11:13In this part of town?

1:11:13 > 1:11:16You cannot walk five metres after dark. You would be careless.

1:11:16 > 1:11:17They'd kill you straight away.

1:11:17 > 1:11:20You'd be reasonable with them? They'll take a little longer,

1:11:20 > 1:11:22tear out your entrails first.

1:11:26 > 1:11:29What happened to your eye that it got all twisted that way?

1:11:32 > 1:11:35I can see. I can drive.

1:11:35 > 1:11:37I passed their tests.

1:11:40 > 1:11:43You were beaten and tortured.

1:11:43 > 1:11:45An army coup.

1:11:45 > 1:11:47By the secret police.

1:11:47 > 1:11:52Or they thought they executed you. Fired a shot to your face.

1:11:52 > 1:11:54Left you for dead.

1:11:56 > 1:11:59I loved my cab.

1:11:59 > 1:12:02I gulped my food.

1:12:02 > 1:12:06I drove 12 hours straight, night after night.

1:12:06 > 1:12:09Vacations? Forget about it.

1:12:09 > 1:12:11But what did I do for protection?

1:12:38 > 1:12:40I need to leave.

1:12:40 > 1:12:42How come?

1:12:44 > 1:12:46I don't know how come.

1:12:46 > 1:12:48That's how come.

1:12:48 > 1:12:51But let me do the left side, at least. So both sides are equal.

1:12:51 > 1:12:54I'll come back. Take my word for it.

1:12:54 > 1:12:56I'll sit and you'll finish.

1:13:11 > 1:13:13Ibrahim, tell me this.

1:13:13 > 1:13:15Yes?

1:13:17 > 1:13:21These stretched limousines that fill the streets...

1:13:21 > 1:13:23I've been wondering...

1:13:23 > 1:13:24Yes?

1:13:29 > 1:13:30Where are they parked at night?

1:13:32 > 1:13:35They need large tracts of space.

1:13:35 > 1:13:39Out near the airports or somewhere in the Meadowlands.

1:13:39 > 1:13:44Long Island. New Jersey.

1:13:44 > 1:13:47I will go to New Jersey. The limo stays here.

1:13:50 > 1:13:51Where?

1:13:52 > 1:13:56Next block, there will be an underground garage. Limos only.

1:13:56 > 1:13:58I would drop off your car,

1:13:58 > 1:14:02pick up my car, then drive home, through the stinking tunnel.

1:14:37 > 1:14:39Early in the morning, you could see, right here,

1:14:39 > 1:14:41teams of men in white overalls...

1:14:41 > 1:14:47they are washing limousines. A marketplace of limos, rags flying.

1:14:48 > 1:14:51METAL DOOR CREAKS

1:15:29 > 1:15:31GUNSHOT GLASS SHATTERS

1:15:35 > 1:15:38Eric Michael Packer!

1:15:40 > 1:15:41GUNSHOT

1:15:44 > 1:15:46GUNSHOTS

1:17:46 > 1:17:48Nancy Babich.

1:17:52 > 1:17:53GUNSHOT

1:17:59 > 1:18:00GUNSHOT

1:18:09 > 1:18:10What are you doing here?

1:18:10 > 1:18:12That's not the question.

1:18:12 > 1:18:16The question is yours to answer. Why do you want to kill me?

1:18:16 > 1:18:20No, that's not the question. That's too easy to be the question.

1:18:22 > 1:18:24I want to kill you

1:18:24 > 1:18:27because I want to count for something in my own life.

1:18:28 > 1:18:30See how easy?

1:18:33 > 1:18:36You're not a reflective man. I live consciously in my head.

1:18:38 > 1:18:40Give me a cigarette.

1:18:40 > 1:18:41Give me a drink.

1:18:43 > 1:18:44Do you recognise me?

1:18:44 > 1:18:46I can't see you clearly.

1:18:48 > 1:18:51Sit. We'll talk.

1:18:52 > 1:18:54Yes.

1:18:54 > 1:18:55I'd like that.

1:19:01 > 1:19:04Sit and talk.

1:19:05 > 1:19:07I've had a long day.

1:19:07 > 1:19:09Things. People.

1:19:10 > 1:19:13Time for a philosophical pause.

1:19:13 > 1:19:15Some reflection.

1:19:15 > 1:19:17Yes.

1:19:18 > 1:19:20POWERFUL GUNSHOT

1:19:23 > 1:19:26You're not familiar with that weapon.

1:19:26 > 1:19:27I fired that weapon.

1:19:27 > 1:19:30That's a serious weapon. Whereas this...

1:19:33 > 1:19:37I'm thinking of installing a shooting range in my apartment.

1:19:37 > 1:19:42Why not your office? Line them up and shoot them.

1:19:42 > 1:19:47You know the office, is that right? You've been in the office.

1:19:47 > 1:19:49Tell me who you think I am.

1:19:49 > 1:19:51I don't know. Who are you?

1:20:05 > 1:20:07Maybe if you'd tell me your name.

1:20:07 > 1:20:09You wouldn't know my name.

1:20:09 > 1:20:13I know names more than faces. Tell me.

1:20:13 > 1:20:15Benno Levin.

1:20:15 > 1:20:18That's a phony name. It's phony. It's fake.

1:20:18 > 1:20:20It's fake, it isn't real.

1:20:20 > 1:20:22But I think I recognise you now.

1:20:22 > 1:20:24You were at a cash machine outside a bank,

1:20:24 > 1:20:26some time around noon.

1:20:28 > 1:20:30You saw me.

1:20:30 > 1:20:34You looked familiar. I didn't know why.

1:20:34 > 1:20:36Maybe you used to work for me.

1:20:36 > 1:20:40Hate me, want to kill me. Fine.

1:20:40 > 1:20:42Everything in our lives...

1:20:42 > 1:20:44yours and mine...

1:20:45 > 1:20:47..has brought us to this moment.

1:20:49 > 1:20:50Fine.

1:20:54 > 1:20:57I could use a tall beer about now.

1:21:00 > 1:21:02How old are you? I'm interested.

1:21:02 > 1:21:05Do you think people like me can't happen?

1:21:05 > 1:21:07- How old?- We happen.

1:21:07 > 1:21:0941.

1:21:09 > 1:21:10Prime number.

1:21:10 > 1:21:13But...not an interesting one.

1:21:15 > 1:21:17Or did I turn 42?

1:21:17 > 1:21:19It is possible, because I don't keep track.

1:21:19 > 1:21:20Because why should I?

1:21:26 > 1:21:28I've become an enigma to myself.

1:21:30 > 1:21:32So said St Augustine.

1:21:34 > 1:21:37And herein lies my sickness.

1:21:37 > 1:21:38Well, that's a start.

1:21:38 > 1:21:42- It's a crucial self-realisation. - I'm not talking about myself.

1:21:42 > 1:21:44I'm talking about you.

1:21:44 > 1:21:47Your whole waking life is a self-contradiction.

1:21:47 > 1:21:50That's why you're engineering your own downfall.

1:21:53 > 1:21:55Why are you here?

1:21:56 > 1:21:59That's the first thing I said to you when I came out of the toilet.

1:21:59 > 1:22:01I noticed the toilet.

1:22:03 > 1:22:05It's the first thing I noticed when I walked in the room.

1:22:12 > 1:22:13What happens to your waste?

1:22:16 > 1:22:20There's a... There's a hole below the fixture.

1:22:20 > 1:22:22I knocked a hole in the floor...

1:22:23 > 1:22:25..and then I positioned the toilet

1:22:25 > 1:22:27so that one hole fits over the other.

1:22:27 > 1:22:31Holes are interesting. There are books about holes.

1:22:31 > 1:22:33There are books about...

1:22:33 > 1:22:35shit.

1:22:36 > 1:22:38But we want to know why you would willingly

1:22:38 > 1:22:43enter a house where there's someone inside that's prepared to kill you.

1:22:43 > 1:22:46All right, tell me. Why am I here?

1:22:46 > 1:22:49- HE CHUCKLES / SCOFFS - You have to tell me.

1:22:53 > 1:22:55Some kind of unexpected failure.

1:22:57 > 1:22:59Shocked your self-esteem.

1:23:05 > 1:23:07The yuan.

1:23:08 > 1:23:10I couldn't figure out the yuan.

1:23:15 > 1:23:16The yuan?

1:23:19 > 1:23:21I couldn't chart the yuan.

1:23:25 > 1:23:26The yuan eluded me.

1:23:26 > 1:23:29And so you brought everything down.

1:23:32 > 1:23:34This had never happened.

1:23:36 > 1:23:37I became half-hearted.

1:23:37 > 1:23:40This is because you only have half a heart.

1:23:41 > 1:23:43Give me a cigarette.

1:23:44 > 1:23:46I don't smoke cigarettes.

1:23:54 > 1:23:57Huge ambition and contempt...

1:23:57 > 1:23:59I can...

1:23:59 > 1:24:03list the things, name the appetites, the people.

1:24:04 > 1:24:07Mistreat some, ignore some. Persecute others.

1:24:10 > 1:24:13The self-totality.

1:24:13 > 1:24:15The lack of remorse.

1:24:16 > 1:24:18These are your gifts.

1:24:18 > 1:24:19What else?

1:24:25 > 1:24:28Intuition of early death.

1:24:28 > 1:24:29What else?

1:24:29 > 1:24:31What else...

1:24:34 > 1:24:36Secret doubts.

1:24:38 > 1:24:40Doubts you could never acknowledge.

1:24:40 > 1:24:42You know some things.

1:24:44 > 1:24:46I know you smoke cigars.

1:24:51 > 1:24:54I know everything that's ever been said or written about you.

1:24:57 > 1:24:59I know what I see in your face...

1:25:01 > 1:25:04..after years of study.

1:25:04 > 1:25:06You worked for me, doing what?

1:25:11 > 1:25:13Currency analysis.

1:25:13 > 1:25:15I worked on the baht.

1:25:15 > 1:25:18- The baht is interesting. - I loved the baht!

1:25:18 > 1:25:21But your system is so micro-timed that I couldn't keep up with it.

1:25:21 > 1:25:24I couldn't find it. It is so infinitesimal!

1:25:27 > 1:25:30Then I began to hate my work and you

1:25:30 > 1:25:34and all the numbers on my screen and every minute of my life.

1:25:34 > 1:25:36100 satang to the baht.

1:25:39 > 1:25:41What's your real name?

1:25:42 > 1:25:44Ah, you wouldn't know it.

1:25:44 > 1:25:46Tell me your name.

1:25:49 > 1:25:52Sheets. Richard Sheets.

1:25:54 > 1:25:56Means nothing to me.

1:25:58 > 1:25:59Tell me...

1:25:59 > 1:26:02do you imagine that I stole ideas from you?

1:26:04 > 1:26:07- Intellectual property. - What does anyone imagine?

1:26:07 > 1:26:09A hundred things a minute.

1:26:12 > 1:26:15Whether I imagine a thing or not, it's real to me.

1:26:17 > 1:26:19I have syndromes where they're real.

1:26:23 > 1:26:25From Malaysia, for example.

1:26:26 > 1:26:29The things that I believe become facts.

1:26:29 > 1:26:31They have the time and space of facts.

1:26:31 > 1:26:34You're forcing me to be reasonable. I don't like that.

1:26:35 > 1:26:39I have severe anxieties that my sex organ is receding into my body.

1:26:39 > 1:26:42- But it's not. - Shrinking into my abdomen.

1:26:42 > 1:26:45- But it's not. - Either it is or not.

1:26:45 > 1:26:46I know it is.

1:26:48 > 1:26:50Show me.

1:26:53 > 1:26:57I don't have to look. There are folk beliefs.

1:26:57 > 1:26:59There are epidemics that happen,

1:26:59 > 1:27:02men in the thousands in real fear and pain.

1:27:02 > 1:27:06All right. All right.

1:27:08 > 1:27:12People like you can happen. I understand this.

1:27:12 > 1:27:17I believe it, but not the violence. Not the gun. The gun is all wrong.

1:27:17 > 1:27:19You're not a violent man.

1:27:20 > 1:27:25Violence is meant to be real based on real motives,

1:27:25 > 1:27:29on forces in the world that, what, make us want to defend ourselves

1:27:29 > 1:27:31or take aggressive action.

1:27:31 > 1:27:35The crime you want to commit is cheap imitation.

1:27:35 > 1:27:36It's a stale fantasy.

1:27:36 > 1:27:39People do it because other people do it.

1:27:44 > 1:27:46It's just another syndrome,

1:27:46 > 1:27:49it's a thing you caught from others.

1:27:51 > 1:27:52It has no history.

1:27:52 > 1:27:55It's all history, the whole thing is history.

1:27:55 > 1:27:59You are foully and berserkly rich.

1:28:00 > 1:28:03Don't tell me about your charities.

1:28:03 > 1:28:06- I have no charities.- I know this.

1:28:08 > 1:28:11You don't resent the rich, that's not your sensibility.

1:28:11 > 1:28:13What's my sensibility?

1:28:13 > 1:28:15Confusion.

1:28:15 > 1:28:17- This is why you're unemployable.- Why?

1:28:17 > 1:28:20- Because you want to kill people. - That's not why I'm unemployable.

1:28:20 > 1:28:23- Then why?- Because I stink.

1:28:25 > 1:28:26Smell me.

1:28:26 > 1:28:29Smell me. HE LAUGHS

1:28:29 > 1:28:31Even when you self-destruct,

1:28:31 > 1:28:34you have to fail more, lose more, die more, stink more than others.

1:28:38 > 1:28:40In... In the old tribes,

1:28:40 > 1:28:42the chief who destroyed more of his own property

1:28:42 > 1:28:45than the other chiefs was the most powerful.

1:28:45 > 1:28:47What else?

1:28:47 > 1:28:51You have everything to live and die for, I have nothing and neither.

1:28:51 > 1:28:53That's another reason to kill you.

1:28:53 > 1:28:56- Richard... - I want to be known as BENNO!

1:28:58 > 1:29:02You're unsettled cos you feel you have no role.

1:29:02 > 1:29:04You have no place.

1:29:06 > 1:29:10But you have to ask yourself whose fault that is.

1:29:10 > 1:29:13Cos, in fact, there's very little in this society

1:29:13 > 1:29:15that you have to hate. Think.

1:29:16 > 1:29:18Think...

1:29:21 > 1:29:23Violence...

1:29:23 > 1:29:25needs a cause.

1:29:26 > 1:29:27A truth.

1:29:30 > 1:29:34There's nothing in the world but other people.

1:29:37 > 1:29:39I had this thought one day.

1:29:39 > 1:29:41It was the thought of my life.

1:29:43 > 1:29:45I'm surrounded by other people.

1:29:47 > 1:29:49It's "buy and sell".

1:29:49 > 1:29:50It's "let's have lunch".

1:29:50 > 1:29:53I thought, "Look at them and look at me."

1:29:55 > 1:29:59Light shines through me on the street.

1:29:59 > 1:30:02I'm, what's the word, pervious to visible light.

1:30:05 > 1:30:09I thought, "All those other people", I thought...

1:30:09 > 1:30:11"How did they get to be who they are?"

1:30:13 > 1:30:15It's...

1:30:15 > 1:30:16banks and car parks.

1:30:16 > 1:30:18It's airline tickets and their computers.

1:30:18 > 1:30:23It's...restaurants filled with people talking.

1:30:23 > 1:30:25It's people signing the merchant copy.

1:30:25 > 1:30:27It's people taking the merchant copy

1:30:27 > 1:30:30out of their leather folder and then signing it,

1:30:30 > 1:30:33and separating the merchant copy from the customer copy,

1:30:33 > 1:30:35and putting the credit card back in their wallet.

1:30:35 > 1:30:37This alone could do it.

1:30:39 > 1:30:42It's people who have doctors that order tests for them.

1:30:42 > 1:30:44THIS ALONE...!

1:30:48 > 1:30:53I am helpless in their system that makes no sense to me.

1:30:53 > 1:30:57You want me to be a helpless robot soldier.

1:30:58 > 1:31:01And all I could be was helpless.

1:31:01 > 1:31:03It's women shoes.

1:31:03 > 1:31:05It's all the names they have for shoes!

1:31:08 > 1:31:11It's all those people in the park, behind the library.

1:31:15 > 1:31:16Talking in the sun.

1:31:21 > 1:31:23Your crime has no conscience.

1:31:24 > 1:31:28You haven't been driven to it by some oppressive social force.

1:31:29 > 1:31:31I hate to be reasonable.

1:31:34 > 1:31:37You're not against the rich. Nobody is against the rich.

1:31:37 > 1:31:40Everybody is ten seconds away from being rich,

1:31:40 > 1:31:41or so everybody thought.

1:31:41 > 1:31:43No.

1:31:45 > 1:31:47Your crime is in your head.

1:31:48 > 1:31:51Another fool shooting up a diner

1:31:51 > 1:31:53because bullets flying through the walls...

1:31:53 > 1:31:55So useless and stupid.

1:31:58 > 1:32:01Even your weapon is a fantasy. What is it called?

1:32:03 > 1:32:05What are the attachments mounted on the barrel?

1:32:05 > 1:32:08- What are they called, what do they do?- All right.

1:32:09 > 1:32:12I don't have the manhood to know those names.

1:32:12 > 1:32:16Men know these names. You have the experience of manhood.

1:32:16 > 1:32:18I can't THINK that far ahead!

1:32:20 > 1:32:23It's all I can do to be a person.

1:32:27 > 1:32:31Violence needs a burden.

1:32:32 > 1:32:34It needs a purpose.

1:32:38 > 1:32:39What are you doing?

1:32:42 > 1:32:43I don't know.

1:32:45 > 1:32:47Maybe nothing.

1:32:49 > 1:32:50GUNSHOT

1:32:50 > 1:32:52HE SCREAMS IN AGONY

1:33:18 > 1:33:20My prostate is asymmetrical.

1:33:23 > 1:33:24So is mine.

1:33:29 > 1:33:31What does it mean?

1:33:40 > 1:33:43Nothing, it means nothing.

1:33:43 > 1:33:46It's harmless. A harmless variation.

1:33:46 > 1:33:48Nothing to worry about.

1:33:48 > 1:33:50At your age, why worry?

1:33:53 > 1:33:55You should have listened to your prostate.

1:33:55 > 1:33:56What?

1:33:56 > 1:34:00You tried to predict movements on the yuan by drawing on patterns from nature.

1:34:00 > 1:34:04Yes, of course, the mathematical properties of tree rings.

1:34:04 > 1:34:08Sunflower seeds. The limbs of galactic spirals.

1:34:08 > 1:34:10I've learned this with the baht.

1:34:10 > 1:34:13I loved the cross-harmonies between nature and data.

1:34:13 > 1:34:15You taught me this.

1:34:15 > 1:34:20You made this form of analysis horribly and sadistically precise.

1:34:20 > 1:34:22But you forgot something along the way.

1:34:22 > 1:34:23What?

1:34:23 > 1:34:26The importance of the lopsided.

1:34:26 > 1:34:28The thing that's skewed a little.

1:34:30 > 1:34:33You were looking for balance.

1:34:33 > 1:34:36Beautiful balance, equal parts, equal sides - I know this.

1:34:37 > 1:34:39I know you.

1:34:41 > 1:34:45But you should have been tracking the yuan in its ticks and quirks.

1:34:46 > 1:34:49A little quirk. A misshape.

1:34:51 > 1:34:52The misweave.

1:34:52 > 1:34:55That's where the answer was. In your body, in your prostate.

1:35:05 > 1:35:07But I still have to shoot you.

1:35:07 > 1:35:09I'm willing to discuss it,

1:35:09 > 1:35:11but there's no life for me unless I do this.

1:35:13 > 1:35:16Don't you ever walked through the park behind the library

1:35:16 > 1:35:18and see all those people sitting in their little chairs

1:35:18 > 1:35:21and drinking at those tables...

1:35:21 > 1:35:25on the terrace, after work, and hear their voices mingling in the air

1:35:25 > 1:35:27and want to kill them?

1:35:29 > 1:35:30No.

1:35:32 > 1:35:35I'm having my Korean panic attack.

1:35:39 > 1:35:41That's from holding in my anger all those years.

1:35:41 > 1:35:43HE LAUGHS

1:35:46 > 1:35:49But not any more.

1:35:49 > 1:35:51You have to die, no matter what.

1:35:54 > 1:35:57I could tell you my situation has changed in the course of a day.

1:36:00 > 1:36:04I have my syndromes, you have your complex.

1:36:04 > 1:36:07Icarus falling. You did it to yourself!

1:36:09 > 1:36:11Meltdown in the sun.

1:36:12 > 1:36:15You will plunge three and half feet to your death.

1:36:15 > 1:36:17It's not very heroic, is it?

1:36:28 > 1:36:32Even if there's a fungus living between my toes that speaks to me...

1:36:35 > 1:36:37Even if a fungus told me to kill you...

1:36:37 > 1:36:39even then, your death is justified

1:36:39 > 1:36:40because of where you stand on the earth.

1:36:40 > 1:36:44For your apartment and what you paid for it.

1:36:44 > 1:36:48For you daily medical check-ups. This alone...

1:36:50 > 1:36:53Medical check-ups...

1:36:53 > 1:36:54every day.

1:36:56 > 1:36:58For the limousine that displaces the air

1:36:58 > 1:37:01that people need to breathe in Bangladesh.

1:37:01 > 1:37:03This alone...

1:37:04 > 1:37:06Don't make me laugh.

1:37:08 > 1:37:10Don't make you laugh?

1:37:12 > 1:37:14You just made that up.

1:37:14 > 1:37:18You've never spend a minute of your life worrying about other people.

1:37:20 > 1:37:21All right.

1:37:24 > 1:37:27But the air you breathe, this alone, the thoughts you have...

1:37:32 > 1:37:35Is there a fungus that speaks to you? I'm serious.

1:37:36 > 1:37:39People hear things. They hear God.

1:37:49 > 1:37:51Anyway, you're already dead.

1:37:51 > 1:37:54You look like someone already dead.

1:37:54 > 1:37:56Someone dead 100 years.

1:37:57 > 1:38:00Many centuries dead. Kings dead.

1:38:01 > 1:38:05Royals in their pyjamas eating mutton.

1:38:08 > 1:38:10Have I ever used the word "mutton" in my life?

1:38:10 > 1:38:12Came in my head, out of nowhere.

1:38:12 > 1:38:13Mutton.

1:38:25 > 1:38:28I wanted you to heal me.

1:38:28 > 1:38:30Save me.

1:38:33 > 1:38:35I wanted you to save me.
