0:02:20 > 0:02:24'So, where are you? You're in some motel room.
0:02:24 > 0:02:28'You just wake up and you're in... In a motel room. There's the key.
0:02:28 > 0:02:31'It feels like maybe the first time you've been there, but...
0:02:31 > 0:02:36'perhaps you've been there for a week, three months, it's...
0:02:36 > 0:02:39'It's kind of hard to say, I... I don't know.
0:02:39 > 0:02:41'It's just an anonymous room.'
0:02:43 > 0:02:46This guy. He's here already.
0:02:48 > 0:02:50Lenny!
0:02:50 > 0:02:52It's Leonard.
0:02:53 > 0:02:56- Like I told you before. - Did you? I must have forgot.
0:02:58 > 0:03:00I guess I've already told you about my condition.
0:03:00 > 0:03:02Oh, well, only every time I see you.
0:03:11 > 0:03:13- My car. - This is your car.
0:03:13 > 0:03:15Oh, you're in a playful mood.
0:03:16 > 0:03:19It's not good to make fun of a handicap.
0:03:19 > 0:03:21Just trying to have a little fun.
0:03:24 > 0:03:27ENGINE STARTS
0:03:27 > 0:03:30- Roll up your window.- Hm?
0:03:35 > 0:03:38- It's broken. - I can get that fixed for you.
0:03:38 > 0:03:40So, where to, Sherlock?
0:03:40 > 0:03:42I got a lead on a place.
0:03:42 > 0:03:44- What the hell you wanna go there for?- You know it?
0:03:44 > 0:03:48Yeah, it's just this fucked up building. Why do you wanna go there?
0:03:48 > 0:03:49Don't remember.
0:04:09 > 0:04:10Looks like somebody's home.
0:04:10 > 0:04:12That thing's been here for years.
0:04:16 > 0:04:18What are you talking about? These tracks are only a few days old.
0:04:18 > 0:04:20Tracks? What are you, Pocahontas?
0:04:23 > 0:04:24Come on!
0:04:31 > 0:04:33Let's take a look inside.
0:04:51 > 0:04:52' "Teddy.
0:04:52 > 0:04:56' "Don't believe his lies. He is the one. Kill him."
0:04:56 > 0:05:00'I've finally found him. How long have I been looking?'
0:05:01 > 0:05:03Find anything?
0:05:04 > 0:05:06Didn't think so.
0:05:06 > 0:05:09Let's go, huh? Oh, fuck this.
0:05:11 > 0:05:15You're gonna pay for what you did. Beg forgiveness, and then you pay.
0:05:19 > 0:05:22You don't have a clue, you freak!
0:05:22 > 0:05:26Beg my wife's forgiveness before I blow your brains out.
0:05:26 > 0:05:31Leonard, you don't know what's going on. You don't even know my name.
0:05:31 > 0:05:34- Teddy. - You read it off a fucking picture.
0:05:34 > 0:05:37You don't know who you are.
0:05:37 > 0:05:39I'm Leonard Shelby, I'm from San Francisco.
0:05:39 > 0:05:42That's who you were. That's not...
0:05:42 > 0:05:43what you've become.
0:05:43 > 0:05:45Shut your mouth.
0:05:45 > 0:05:47You want to know, Lenny? Come on.
0:05:47 > 0:05:51Let's go down to the basement. Let's go, you and me together.
0:05:51 > 0:05:53Then you'll know who you really are.
0:05:58 > 0:06:00- No! - GUNSHOT
0:06:01 > 0:06:05'It's an anonymous room. Nothing in the drawers, but you look anyway.
0:06:05 > 0:06:08'Nothing except the Gideon Bible,
0:06:08 > 0:06:10'which I, of course, read religiously.
0:06:10 > 0:06:12'LAUGHING: Hm...
0:06:12 > 0:06:16'You know who you are and you know kind of all about yourself,
0:06:16 > 0:06:22'but, just for day-to-day stuff, notes are really useful.
0:06:22 > 0:06:26'Sammy Jankis had the same problem, but he really had no system.
0:06:26 > 0:06:29'He wrote himself a ridiculous amount of notes,
0:06:29 > 0:06:31'but he'd mix them up.
0:06:31 > 0:06:35'You really do need a system if... If you're gonna make it work.'

0:07:28 > 0:07:30- Hi.- Hi.
0:07:30 > 0:07:31I'm Mr Shelby from 304.
0:07:31 > 0:07:35- What can I do for you, Leonard? - Um...- Burt.
0:07:35 > 0:07:38Burt. I'm not sure, I think I may have asked you to hold my calls.
0:07:38 > 0:07:39You don't know?
0:07:39 > 0:07:41I'm not too good on the phone.
0:07:41 > 0:07:44You said you like to look people in the eye when you talk to them.
0:07:44 > 0:07:45Yeah, yeah.
0:07:45 > 0:07:46You don't remember that.
0:07:46 > 0:07:49I have this condition.
0:07:49 > 0:07:50Condition?
0:07:50 > 0:07:51It's my memory.
0:07:51 > 0:07:52Amnesia?
0:07:52 > 0:07:54No, it's different from that.
0:07:54 > 0:07:57I have no short-term memory. I know who I am, I just...
0:07:57 > 0:08:01Since my injury, I can't make new memories. Everything fades.
0:08:01 > 0:08:05If we talk for too long, I'll forget how we started,
0:08:05 > 0:08:08and, next time I see you, I won't remember this conversation.
0:08:08 > 0:08:10I don't even know if I've met you before.
0:08:10 > 0:08:14So if I seem a little strange or rude, or something, uh...
0:08:16 > 0:08:18I've told you this before, haven't I?
0:08:18 > 0:08:21I don't mean to mess with you, but it's so weird.
0:08:21 > 0:08:23You don't remember me at all?
0:08:23 > 0:08:24No.
0:08:24 > 0:08:25We've talked a bunch of times.
0:08:25 > 0:08:27I'm sure we have.
0:08:27 > 0:08:30What's the last thing you remember?
0:08:30 > 0:08:32My wife.
0:08:32 > 0:08:33What's it like?
0:08:38 > 0:08:40It's like waking.
0:08:40 > 0:08:41It's like you just woke up.
0:08:43 > 0:08:45That must suck.
0:08:45 > 0:08:47It's all backwards.
0:08:47 > 0:08:52Like, you got an idea what you want to do next, but you don't remember what you just did.
0:08:52 > 0:08:54I mean, I'm exactly the opposite...
0:08:54 > 0:08:56How long have I been staying here?
0:08:56 > 0:08:58- Couple of days. - And you're holding my calls?
0:08:58 > 0:08:59Like you said.
0:08:59 > 0:09:02OK, but this guy's an exception.
0:09:02 > 0:09:03You know this guy?
0:09:04 > 0:09:06Yeah, it's your friend, right?
0:09:06 > 0:09:08What makes you think that?
0:09:08 > 0:09:09I saw you together, that's all.
0:09:09 > 0:09:11He's not my friend.
0:09:11 > 0:09:12OK.
0:09:12 > 0:09:15If he calls or shows up here, give me a call in my room, OK?
0:09:15 > 0:09:17What, his name's Teddy?
0:09:17 > 0:09:18Teddy, yeah.
0:09:20 > 0:09:23Look, I hope my condition's not gonna be a problem for you.
0:09:23 > 0:09:26Not as long as you remember to pay the bill.
0:09:26 > 0:09:28Yeah. OK.
0:09:28 > 0:09:2940.
0:09:31 > 0:09:32This guy.
0:09:34 > 0:09:35He's here already.
0:09:37 > 0:09:39Lenny!
0:09:40 > 0:09:43'You really need a system if you're gonna make it work.
0:09:43 > 0:09:46'You kinda learn to trust your own handwriting -
0:09:46 > 0:09:48'that becomes an important part of your life.
0:09:48 > 0:09:50'You write yourself notes.
0:09:50 > 0:09:52'Where you put them is really important.
0:09:52 > 0:09:54'You need a jacket with, like, six pockets,
0:09:54 > 0:09:57'particular pockets for particular things.'
0:09:57 > 0:10:01'You just kinda learn to know where things go and how the system works.
0:10:01 > 0:10:04'You have to be wary of other people writing stuff for you
0:10:04 > 0:10:07'that is not going to make sense or is gonna lead you astray.
0:10:07 > 0:10:09'I don't know, I guess people try and take advantage
0:10:09 > 0:10:11'of somebody with this condition.
0:10:11 > 0:10:15'If you have a piece of information which...is...vital,
0:10:15 > 0:10:19'writing on your body instead of on a piece of paper can be the answer.
0:10:19 > 0:10:21'It's a permanent way of keeping a note.'

0:11:16 > 0:11:18I'm just gonna write this down.

0:14:23 > 0:14:26I've found you, you fuck.
0:15:24 > 0:15:27You said we talked before. I don't remember that.
0:15:27 > 0:15:29Yeah, but it's not amnesia.
0:15:29 > 0:15:30I remember everything till my injury -
0:15:30 > 0:15:32I just can't make new memories.
0:15:32 > 0:15:35So I can't remember talking to you. What did we talk about?
0:15:35 > 0:15:36Oh, Sammy Jankis.
0:15:36 > 0:15:38I guess I tell people about Sammy to help them understand.
0:15:38 > 0:15:42Sammy's story helps me understand my own situation.
0:15:42 > 0:15:44Sammy wrote himself endless amounts of notes.
0:15:44 > 0:15:46But he got mixed up.
0:15:46 > 0:15:50I have a more graceful solution to the memory problem.
0:15:52 > 0:15:55I'm disciplined and organised.
0:15:55 > 0:15:58I use habit and routine to make my life possible.
0:15:58 > 0:16:01Sammy had no drive, no reason to make it work.
0:16:02 > 0:16:04Me?
0:16:04 > 0:16:05Yeah...

0:16:50 > 0:16:52I'm sorry, I should've explained. I have this con...
0:16:52 > 0:16:54You did explain, Lenny.
0:16:54 > 0:16:57Please call me Leonard. My wife called me Lenny.
0:16:57 > 0:17:00- I know, you told me. - Then I probably said I hated it.
0:17:00 > 0:17:02Yeah.
0:17:02 > 0:17:06Do you mind taking your glasses off? It's hard for me to...
0:17:06 > 0:17:10Thanks. So, you have information for me?
0:17:10 > 0:17:11Is that what your little note says?
0:17:11 > 0:17:13Yeah.
0:17:13 > 0:17:15Must be tough living according to a couple of scraps of paper.
0:17:15 > 0:17:17Mix your laundry and grocery lists
0:17:17 > 0:17:20and you'll end up eating your underwear for breakfast.
0:17:20 > 0:17:23I guess that's why you have those freaky tattoos.
0:17:23 > 0:17:27Yeah, it's tough. It's almost impossible.
0:17:27 > 0:17:30Look, I'm sorry I don't remember you. It's nothing personal.
0:17:33 > 0:17:34I do have information for you.
0:17:36 > 0:17:38You gave me a licence-plate number.
0:17:39 > 0:17:41Had my friend at DMV trace it.
0:17:41 > 0:17:43Guess what name came up?
0:17:45 > 0:17:48John Edward Gammell. John G.
0:17:48 > 0:17:49Do you know him?
0:17:49 > 0:17:52No. But his face on his driver's licence looked really familiar.
0:17:52 > 0:17:55I think he's been in the bar, maybe.
0:17:55 > 0:17:59Here's a copy of his licence, his registration, photo and all.
0:17:59 > 0:18:01Are you sure you want this?
0:18:01 > 0:18:02Have I told you what this man did?
0:18:02 > 0:18:03Yeah.
0:18:03 > 0:18:06Well, then, you shouldn't have to ask.
0:18:06 > 0:18:08Even if you get revenge, you won't remember it.
0:18:08 > 0:18:10You won't even know it happened.
0:18:10 > 0:18:11My wife deserves vengeance.
0:18:11 > 0:18:13It doesn't matter if I know about it.
0:18:13 > 0:18:16Just cos there are things I don't remember
0:18:16 > 0:18:18doesn't make my actions meaningless.
0:18:18 > 0:18:21The world doesn't just disappear when you close your eyes, does it?
0:18:21 > 0:18:25Anyway, maybe I'll take a photograph to remind myself.
0:18:25 > 0:18:27Get another freaky tattoo.
0:18:31 > 0:18:33Tell me about her again.
0:18:35 > 0:18:36Why?
0:18:36 > 0:18:37Because you like to remember her.
0:18:40 > 0:18:41She was beautiful.
0:18:44 > 0:18:46- To me, she was perfect.- No.
0:18:46 > 0:18:48Don't just recite the words.
0:18:49 > 0:18:53Close your eyes, and remember her.
0:19:03 > 0:19:06You can just feel the details.
0:19:08 > 0:19:11The bits and pieces you never bothered to put into words.
0:19:15 > 0:19:18And you can feel these extreme moments...
0:19:18 > 0:19:20even if you don't want to.
0:19:23 > 0:19:26'You put these together and you get the feel of a person.'
0:19:28 > 0:19:31Enough to know how much you miss them.
0:19:35 > 0:19:38'And how much you hate the person who took them away.'
0:19:48 > 0:19:51I, um, I added an address in here.
0:19:51 > 0:19:55It might be useful. It's an abandoned place outside of town.
0:19:55 > 0:19:58Um, I guy I knew used to do bigger deals there.
0:20:00 > 0:20:02It's isolated.
0:20:02 > 0:20:03Sounds perfect.
0:20:06 > 0:20:07Do I owe you any...?
0:20:07 > 0:20:09I wasn't helping you for money.
0:20:09 > 0:20:13- I'm sorry.- It's OK. See, you have this "condition."
0:20:15 > 0:20:18You still staying at the Discount Inn? Room 304?
0:20:18 > 0:20:19Left it at my place.
0:20:24 > 0:20:26Yeah.
0:20:28 > 0:20:31- They treating you OK? - I don't remember.
0:20:34 > 0:20:35You know what we have in common?
0:20:37 > 0:20:39We are both survivors.
0:20:42 > 0:20:44You take care, Leonard.
0:21:11 > 0:21:13' "Remember Sammy Jankis." '
0:21:14 > 0:21:18I met Sammy through work. Insurance. I was an investigator.
0:21:18 > 0:21:20I'd investigate claims to see which were phoney.
0:21:20 > 0:21:23I had to see through people's bullshit.
0:21:23 > 0:21:25It was useful experience cos now it's my life.
0:21:25 > 0:21:28When I meet someone, I don't know if I've met them before.
0:21:28 > 0:21:31I have to look in their eyes and try and figure them out.
0:21:31 > 0:21:34'My job taught me the best way to find out what someone knew was to let them talk,
0:21:34 > 0:21:36'watch the eyes and the body language.
0:21:36 > 0:21:40'If someone scratches their nose, experts say it means they're lying -
0:21:40 > 0:21:42'it really means they're nervous.
0:21:42 > 0:21:45'People get nervous for all sorts of reasons. It's all about context.'
0:21:45 > 0:21:47Yeah, I was good.
0:21:47 > 0:21:50Sammy was my first real challenge.
0:21:51 > 0:21:53ENGINE STARTS
0:21:55 > 0:21:59Yo, Lenny! I thought you'd split for good.
0:21:59 > 0:22:02- Well, things change.- So I see.
0:22:02 > 0:22:03My name's Teddy.
0:22:03 > 0:22:05I guess I've told you about my condition?
0:22:05 > 0:22:06Only every time I see ya.
0:22:06 > 0:22:09Come on, I'll buy you lunch.
0:22:14 > 0:22:16- Have I told you about Sammy Jankis? - Mmm. Yeah.
0:22:16 > 0:22:18I'm sick of hearing about the guy.
0:22:18 > 0:22:20What about John G? You think he's still here?
0:22:20 > 0:22:23- Who? - Johnny G - guy you're looking for.
0:22:23 > 0:22:26- That's why you haven't left town, am I right?- Maybe.
0:22:26 > 0:22:29- Leonard, you have to be very careful.- Why?
0:22:29 > 0:22:30The other day, you mentioned that
0:22:30 > 0:22:32maybe somebody was trying to set you up.
0:22:32 > 0:22:34Get you to kill the wrong guy.
0:22:34 > 0:22:36I go on facts, not recommendations, but thank you.
0:22:36 > 0:22:40Lenny, you can't trust a man's life to your little notes and pictures.
0:22:40 > 0:22:43- Why not? - Your notes could be unreliable.
0:22:43 > 0:22:44- Memory's unreliable. - Oh, please.
0:22:44 > 0:22:47Really. Memory's not perfect, it's not that good. Ask the police.
0:22:47 > 0:22:49Eyewitness testimony is unreliable.
0:22:49 > 0:22:52The cops don't catch a killer by sitting around remembering stuff.
0:22:52 > 0:22:54- They collect facts... - That's not what I'm saying.
0:22:54 > 0:22:58..make notes, draw conclusions. Facts, not memories.
0:22:58 > 0:23:00That's how you investigate. I know, it's what I used to do.
0:23:00 > 0:23:03Memory can change the shape of a room, the colour of a car.
0:23:03 > 0:23:06And memories can be distorted.
0:23:06 > 0:23:08They're an interpretation, not a record.
0:23:08 > 0:23:11They're irrelevant if you have the facts.
0:23:11 > 0:23:13You really want to get this guy, don't you?
0:23:13 > 0:23:16He killed my wife. He took away my fucking memory.
0:23:19 > 0:23:21He destroyed my ability to live.
0:23:25 > 0:23:26You're living.
0:23:27 > 0:23:29Only for revenge.
0:23:29 > 0:23:30Well, then, we'll get the bastard.
0:23:30 > 0:23:32Where are you staying?
0:23:35 > 0:23:39The Discount Inn. I don't know what room, I haven't got my key.
0:23:39 > 0:23:41Probably left it in your room.
0:23:53 > 0:23:55RINGS BELL
0:23:55 > 0:23:59Hi. I'm checked in here, but I think I've misplaced my key.
0:23:59 > 0:24:02How you doing, Leonard? Probably in the room, right?
0:24:20 > 0:24:23- I don't see my key. - Oh, shit. This is the wrong room.
0:24:23 > 0:24:25You're in 304 now. I'm sorry. I fucked up.
0:24:25 > 0:24:28- This is not my room? - No. Come on, let's go.
0:24:28 > 0:24:30Then why is this my handwriting?
0:24:33 > 0:24:37Well...this was your room, but now you're in 304.
0:24:37 > 0:24:38When was I in here?
0:24:38 > 0:24:41Last week. Then I rented you another room on top.
0:24:41 > 0:24:43Why?
0:24:43 > 0:24:46Business is slow. I told my boss about your condition and stuff,
0:24:46 > 0:24:49he said try and rent him another room.
0:24:49 > 0:24:51So how many rooms am I checked into in this shithole?
0:24:51 > 0:24:53Just two. So far.
0:24:53 > 0:24:56Well, at least you're being honest about ripping me off.
0:24:56 > 0:24:59You're not going to remember anyway.
0:24:59 > 0:25:01You don't have to be that honest, Burt.
0:25:01 > 0:25:05Leonard. Always get a receipt.
0:25:05 > 0:25:07Oh, yeah. I'll write that down.
0:25:09 > 0:25:11Hey, what time is it?
0:25:11 > 0:25:13Quarter to one.
0:25:15 > 0:25:16Your room's...
0:25:28 > 0:25:30- Natalie. - You don't remember me.
0:25:30 > 0:25:34I'd just become an investigator when I came across Sammy.
0:25:34 > 0:25:37Mr Samuel R Jankis, strangest case ever.
0:25:37 > 0:25:40The guy's a 58-year-old, semi-retired accountant.
0:25:40 > 0:25:43He and his wife were in this car accident - nothing serious.
0:25:43 > 0:25:46'But he's acting funny, he can't get a handle on what's going on.'
0:25:47 > 0:25:51'The doctors find possible damage to the hippocampus, nothing conclusive.
0:25:51 > 0:25:54'Sammy can't remember anything for more than a couple of minutes.
0:25:54 > 0:25:57'Can't work, can't do shit. The medical bills pile up,
0:25:57 > 0:26:00'his wife calls the insurance company, and I get sent in.
0:26:00 > 0:26:03'It's my first big claims investigation,
0:26:03 > 0:26:05'so I really check into it.
0:26:05 > 0:26:09'Sammy can think just fine, but he can't make new memories.
0:26:09 > 0:26:11'He can only remember things for a couple of minutes.'
0:26:13 > 0:26:16'He'd watch TV but anything longer than a few minutes was too confusing,
0:26:16 > 0:26:18'he couldn't remember how it began.
0:26:18 > 0:26:20'He liked commercials. They were short.'
0:26:20 > 0:26:22Sammy. It's time for my shot.
0:26:22 > 0:26:25'The crazy part was that this guy,
0:26:25 > 0:26:28'who couldn't follow the plot of Green Acres any more,
0:26:28 > 0:26:30'could do the most complicated things
0:26:30 > 0:26:32'as long as he learned them before the accident..'
0:26:34 > 0:26:38'..and as long as he kept his mind on what he was doing.
0:26:38 > 0:26:41'The doctors assure me there's a real condition -
0:26:41 > 0:26:45'anterograde memory loss, or short-term memory loss.
0:26:45 > 0:26:47'It's rare, but legit.'
0:26:48 > 0:26:49'But every time I see him...'
0:26:51 > 0:26:53'..I catch this look,
0:26:53 > 0:26:56'this...slight look of recognition.
0:26:56 > 0:27:00'But he says he can't remember me at all.'
0:27:00 > 0:27:02Sammy, it's OK. I got it.
0:27:02 > 0:27:04- Hi, Mr Shelby. - Hi, Mrs Jankis.
0:27:04 > 0:27:09'Now, I can read people, and I'm thinking "bad actor".'
0:27:09 > 0:27:11So now I'm suspicious and I order more tests.
0:27:14 > 0:27:16'Awake.'
0:27:17 > 0:27:19'But where am I?'
0:27:22 > 0:27:25'Somebody's bedroom.'
0:27:26 > 0:27:28'Oh, it must be her room.'
0:27:29 > 0:27:31'But who is she?'
0:27:39 > 0:27:41It's only me.
0:27:43 > 0:27:44Did you sleep OK?
0:27:44 > 0:27:46Yeah. You?
0:27:47 > 0:27:50Oh, shit. Shit.
0:27:50 > 0:27:51I've got to be someplace.
0:27:55 > 0:27:57It's pretty weird.
0:27:57 > 0:28:01It's useful. You never write a phone number on your hand?
0:28:01 > 0:28:04I... I should be able to talk to my friend today
0:28:04 > 0:28:06about the licence plate.
0:28:06 > 0:28:08Yeah, the licence plate.
0:28:08 > 0:28:10John G's licence plate.
0:28:14 > 0:28:16You have it tattooed on your thigh.
0:28:33 > 0:28:34' "Natalie." '
0:28:37 > 0:28:41' "She has also lost someone. She will help you out of pity." '
0:28:45 > 0:28:47Mm. If it's registered in this state,
0:28:47 > 0:28:50it should only take two seconds to pull up his registration.
0:28:50 > 0:28:52I'll call you as soon as I talk to him.
0:28:52 > 0:28:55Could we arrange a meeting now? I'm not too good on the phone.
0:29:04 > 0:29:06You know, it's great that you...
0:29:08 > 0:29:10Well, that you're...
0:29:10 > 0:29:12helping me like this.
0:29:12 > 0:29:15I'm helping you because you helped me.
0:29:27 > 0:29:29So, next time you see me...
0:29:29 > 0:29:31will you remember me?
0:29:47 > 0:29:48- SOFTLY:- I think you will.
0:29:50 > 0:29:52SOFTLY: I'm sorry.
0:29:55 > 0:29:58Lenny, before you go, could I have my shirt back, please?
0:30:09 > 0:30:10ENGINE STARTS
0:30:13 > 0:30:16Yo, Lenny! I thought you'd split for good.
0:30:16 > 0:30:19Sammy couldn't pick up any new skills at all.
0:30:19 > 0:30:22But I find something in my research.
0:30:22 > 0:30:23Conditioning.
0:30:23 > 0:30:26Sammy should still be able to learn through repetition.
0:30:26 > 0:30:29It's how you learn to ride a bike - you get better through practice.
0:30:29 > 0:30:31It's a different part of the brain from the short-term memory.
0:30:31 > 0:30:34So I had the doctors test Sammy's response to conditioning.
0:30:34 > 0:30:37Pick up any three objects.
0:30:37 > 0:30:38That's a test?
0:30:38 > 0:30:42Where were you guys when I did my CPA?
0:30:42 > 0:30:43Sorry.
0:30:45 > 0:30:47Ta-da(!)
0:30:47 > 0:30:49- BUZZING - Ow! What the fuck?
0:30:49 > 0:30:53- It's a test, Sammy. - Test this, you fucking quack.
0:30:53 > 0:30:55'Some of the objects were electrified.
0:30:55 > 0:30:57'They'd give him a small shock.
0:30:57 > 0:31:00'They kept repeating the test, always with the same objects electrified.'
0:31:00 > 0:31:02The point was to see if Sammy could learn to avoid
0:31:02 > 0:31:04the electrified objects,
0:31:04 > 0:31:06not by memory, but by instinct.
0:31:21 > 0:31:22KNOCKS ON DOOR
0:31:26 > 0:31:28Natalie, right? Who the fuck is Dodd?
0:31:32 > 0:31:34Guess I don't have to worry about him any more.
0:31:34 > 0:31:36- What the fuck have you got me into? - Shhh. Come inside.
0:31:39 > 0:31:42- Who is he?- Calm down. OK?
0:31:42 > 0:31:46It's my problem. You offered to help. It's nothing to do with your investigation.
0:31:46 > 0:31:49- How did you get me into this? - You offered to help me when you saw what he did to my face.
0:31:49 > 0:31:52- How do I know he did that? - I came straight to you afterwards.
0:31:52 > 0:31:55I showed you what he did and I asked you to help me.
0:31:55 > 0:31:58- Oh, and I just take your word?- Yeah.
0:31:58 > 0:32:00Something doesn't feel right.
0:32:00 > 0:32:02I think someone's fucking with me,
0:32:02 > 0:32:04- trying to get me to kill the wrong guy.- Did you?
0:32:04 > 0:32:06- What?- Kill him?- Of course not!
0:32:06 > 0:32:10Hey. Sit down, OK? Sit.
0:32:10 > 0:32:13This has nothing to do with you.
0:32:13 > 0:32:16You helped me out and I'm grateful.
0:32:16 > 0:32:17You have to burn them.
0:32:21 > 0:32:25Leonard, you decided to help me. Trust your own judgment.
0:32:25 > 0:32:28You can question everything, you can never know anything for sure.
0:32:28 > 0:32:29There are things you know for sure.
0:32:29 > 0:32:31Such as?
0:32:32 > 0:32:35I know what that's gonna sound like when I knock on it. HE TAPS TABLE
0:32:35 > 0:32:38I know what that's gonna feel like when I pick it up. See?
0:32:38 > 0:32:41Certainties. It's the kind of memory you take for granted.
0:32:42 > 0:32:45You know, I can remember so much.
0:32:47 > 0:32:49The feel of the world...
0:32:49 > 0:32:50and her.
0:32:57 > 0:32:58She's gone.
0:32:58 > 0:33:02And the present is trivia, which I scribble down as fucking notes.
0:33:02 > 0:33:05Hey, come on. Try and relax. Come on.
0:33:05 > 0:33:08- It's not easy for me to relax. - Shhh. Shhh.
0:33:08 > 0:33:10Come on, take your jacket off.
0:33:10 > 0:33:12- SOFTLY:- Here. Come on.
0:33:14 > 0:33:16- SOFTLY:- Hey.
0:33:17 > 0:33:19Didn't think you were the type.
0:33:27 > 0:33:28It's backwards.
0:33:30 > 0:33:32Come here. Come here.
0:33:53 > 0:33:55What about here?
0:33:57 > 0:33:59Maybe it's...for when I find him.
0:34:01 > 0:34:03I've lost somebody too.
0:34:06 > 0:34:07I'm sorry.
0:34:07 > 0:34:09His name was Jimmy.
0:34:09 > 0:34:11What happened to him?
0:34:11 > 0:34:14He went to meet somebody. He never came back.
0:34:15 > 0:34:16Who did he go to meet?
0:34:16 > 0:34:18Guy called Teddy.
0:34:20 > 0:34:21What do the police think?
0:34:21 > 0:34:24They don't look too hard for guys like Jimmy.
0:34:26 > 0:34:28When you find this guy, this...
0:34:28 > 0:34:32John G, what are you gonna do?
0:34:34 > 0:34:35I'm gonna kill him.
0:34:37 > 0:34:39Maybe I can help you find him.
0:34:44 > 0:34:47I don't even know how long she's been gone.
0:34:51 > 0:34:54It's like I've woken up in bed and she's not here...
0:34:56 > 0:34:58..because she's gone to the bathroom or something.
0:35:03 > 0:35:04But somehow I just...
0:35:06 > 0:35:09I just know she's never gonna come back to bed.
0:35:14 > 0:35:16If I could just...
0:35:16 > 0:35:19reach over and touch her side of the bed...
0:35:21 > 0:35:23..I would know that it was cold.
0:35:26 > 0:35:27But I can't.
0:35:32 > 0:35:34I know I can't have her back.
0:35:35 > 0:35:39But I don't want to wake up in the morning thinking she's still here.
0:35:41 > 0:35:44I lie here not knowing how long I've been alone.
0:35:50 > 0:35:52So how...
0:35:53 > 0:35:55How can I heal?
0:35:57 > 0:36:00How am I supposed to heal if I can't...
0:36:01 > 0:36:02..feel time?
0:37:13 > 0:37:17"She has also lost someone. She will help you out of pity."
0:37:41 > 0:37:44They kept testing Sammy for months.
0:37:44 > 0:37:47Always with the same objects carrying the electrical charge.
0:37:47 > 0:37:49- BUZZING - Ow! What the fuck?
0:37:49 > 0:37:51- It's a test, Sammy. - Test this, you fucking quack!
0:37:51 > 0:37:53Even with total short-term memory loss,
0:37:53 > 0:37:57'Sammy should have learned to stop picking up the wrong objects.
0:37:57 > 0:37:59'All the previous cases responded to conditioning,
0:37:59 > 0:38:01'Sammy didn't respond at all.
0:38:01 > 0:38:04'It suggested that his condition was psychological, not physical.'
0:38:04 > 0:38:06We turned down his claim on the grounds
0:38:06 > 0:38:08that he wasn't covered for mental illness.
0:38:08 > 0:38:11His wife got stuck with the bills and I got a big promotion.
0:38:13 > 0:38:16Conditioning didn't work for Sammy, so he became helpless.
0:38:16 > 0:38:18But it works for me.
0:38:19 > 0:38:21I live the way Sammy couldn't.
0:38:21 > 0:38:23Habit and routine make my life possible.
0:38:23 > 0:38:26Conditioning. Acting on instinct.
0:38:28 > 0:38:31MUFFLED CRIES

0:38:40 > 0:38:41'Motel room.'
0:38:42 > 0:38:44Oh.
0:38:48 > 0:38:50'Some anonymous motel room.'
0:38:54 > 0:38:58'Nothing in the drawers, but I'll take a look anyway.
0:38:58 > 0:39:00'Nothing except the Gideon Bi...
0:39:00 > 0:39:01'Bible.'
0:39:14 > 0:39:15KNOCKS ON DOOR
0:39:15 > 0:39:16Lenny! Open up!
0:39:18 > 0:39:19Just a minute.
0:39:19 > 0:39:21Open the door!
0:39:21 > 0:39:23MUFFLED CRIES FROM CUPBOARD
0:39:23 > 0:39:25Lenny?

0:39:27 > 0:39:29Open the door!
0:39:33 > 0:39:34Come on!
0:39:36 > 0:39:39- Hi, Teddy. - Finished playing with yourself?
0:39:39 > 0:39:41Oh!

0:39:47 > 0:39:49HE SIGHS
0:39:50 > 0:39:52- MUFFLED CRIES - Oh, I get it.
0:39:54 > 0:39:56- Amorous neighbours. - What are you doing here?
0:39:56 > 0:40:00You called me. You said you needed my help.
0:40:00 > 0:40:03You know, I've had more rewarding friendships than this one.
0:40:03 > 0:40:07Although I do get to keep telling the same jokes.
0:40:07 > 0:40:08What the fuck is that?
0:40:14 > 0:40:18- Who the fuck is that? - You don't know him?- No! Should I?
0:40:18 > 0:40:21Wait a minute. Is that John G?
0:40:21 > 0:40:24- I don't think so. - You didn't write it down?
0:40:24 > 0:40:27- I might have fallen asleep before I did.- For Christ sakes!
0:40:27 > 0:40:30- THUDDING - Ask him.
0:40:34 > 0:40:37What's your name? Your name?
0:40:37 > 0:40:40- Dodd.- And who did this to you? - What?
0:40:40 > 0:40:42Who did this to you?
0:40:42 > 0:40:43You did.
0:40:46 > 0:40:48Look, I'm not going to help you kill that guy.
0:40:48 > 0:40:49No, no. Just let me think.
0:40:52 > 0:40:54MUFFLED CRIES
0:40:54 > 0:40:58OK, Natalie. Who's Natalie? Natalie who?
0:40:58 > 0:41:00- Why?- Maybe I know her.
0:41:00 > 0:41:02Look, we gotta get him out of here.
0:41:02 > 0:41:04All right, all right, all right.
0:41:05 > 0:41:07He's got to have a car, right?
0:41:07 > 0:41:10We take him to his car, tell him to get the fuck out of town or we'll kill him.
0:41:10 > 0:41:12We can't walk him out of here tied up and bleeding.
0:41:12 > 0:41:15- How the fuck did you get him up here?- I don't know!
0:41:15 > 0:41:17You don't know.
0:41:17 > 0:41:19MUFFLED BANGING
0:41:19 > 0:41:22Yes, I do. This is not my room. It must be his room. Great. Let's go.
0:41:22 > 0:41:24No, no, no. We can't just leave him.
0:41:24 > 0:41:27- Why not? - Because the maid's gonna walk in.
0:41:27 > 0:41:29She'll see him, call the cops. He can ID us.
0:41:31 > 0:41:33OK. We untie him, we clean him up...
0:41:33 > 0:41:36and we march him out of here with a gun in his back.
0:41:36 > 0:41:37A gun. Why would I have a gun?
0:41:39 > 0:41:42It must be his. I don't think they'd let someone like me carry a gun.
0:41:44 > 0:41:45Fucking hope not.
0:41:52 > 0:41:53Which one?
0:41:56 > 0:41:59We should probably steal his car. You know, teach him a lesson.
0:41:59 > 0:42:02- Shut up!- It's all right for you, you've got a Jag.
0:42:02 > 0:42:05All right, get in. I'm gonna ride with him, you follow us.
0:42:05 > 0:42:06Give me your keys.
0:42:06 > 0:42:08Take your own car.
0:42:35 > 0:42:37So, was he scared?
0:42:37 > 0:42:39Yeah, I think it was your sinister moustache.
0:42:39 > 0:42:41Fuck you. Should have stolen his car.
0:42:41 > 0:42:43Why? What's wrong with this one?
0:42:43 > 0:42:45Nothing. You want to trade?
0:42:48 > 0:42:50So what do you do now?
0:42:50 > 0:42:53I'm gonna find out what the fuck that was all about.
0:42:56 > 0:42:58KNOCK ON DOOR
0:42:59 > 0:43:02Natalie, right? Who the fuck is Dodd?
0:43:03 > 0:43:07Sammy's wife was crippled by the cost of supporting him,
0:43:07 > 0:43:09and fighting the company's decision.
0:43:10 > 0:43:13But it wasn't the money that got to her.
0:43:13 > 0:43:15'I never said that Sammy was faking.'
0:43:15 > 0:43:17Sammy, I have an idea.
0:43:17 > 0:43:20'Just that his problem was mental, not physical.'
0:43:20 > 0:43:23You're gonna have a pen in your pocket.
0:43:23 > 0:43:25'She couldn't understand.'
0:43:25 > 0:43:28- I did something wrong? - You something wrong.
0:43:28 > 0:43:31Now, we're gonna deal with it. We're gonna try a little harder.
0:43:31 > 0:43:33'She looks into his eyes and sees the same person,
0:43:33 > 0:43:37'and if it's not a physical problem, he should snap out of it.'
0:43:37 > 0:43:38- Ellen called! - Ellen called.
0:43:38 > 0:43:41Ellen called. Ellen... Ellen can't come today!
0:43:41 > 0:43:43- Ellen can't come! - I'm so sorry! I'm sorry!
0:43:43 > 0:43:46- I'm trying! I'm sorry! - SHE SOBS
0:43:49 > 0:43:53So Leonard Shelby from the insurance company gives her the seed of doubt,
0:43:53 > 0:43:56just like he gave it to the doctors.
0:43:56 > 0:43:58But I never said that he was faking.
0:43:58 > 0:44:00I never said that.
0:44:05 > 0:44:07'Hm. I don't FEEL drunk.'

0:46:36 > 0:46:38Phew!
0:46:38 > 0:46:39Fuck.
0:46:48 > 0:46:53Mrs Jankis didn't see that you can't bully someone into remembering.
0:46:53 > 0:46:56The more pressure you're under, the harder it gets.

0:53:15 > 0:53:16It's good.
0:53:16 > 0:53:19Yeah, but you've read it like 1,000 times.
0:53:19 > 0:53:20I enjoy it.
0:53:20 > 0:53:22I thought the pleasure of a book
0:53:22 > 0:53:24was in wanting to know what happens next.
0:53:24 > 0:53:28Don't be a prick. I'm not reading it to annoy you. I enjoy it.
0:53:29 > 0:53:32Just let me read. Please?
0:53:42 > 0:53:44'Probably tried this before.'

0:54:16 > 0:54:19Well, sir, that'd be in keeping with some of my own discoveries.
0:54:19 > 0:54:22I was hoping for more on the drugs angle. Will you hang on a sec?
0:54:30 > 0:54:33The police report mentioned the drugs found in the car
0:54:33 > 0:54:34outside my house.
0:54:34 > 0:54:36The car was stolen but his prints were all over it.
0:54:36 > 0:54:38Friends in the department gave me a copy.
0:54:38 > 0:54:41I dealt with the police a lot in my insurance job.
0:54:41 > 0:54:43With my condition, it's really tough.
0:54:43 > 0:54:46I can't...keep it all in mind at once.
0:54:46 > 0:54:47I have to summarise the sections.
0:54:47 > 0:54:50There's pages missing. I guess I've been trying to log them all.
0:54:50 > 0:54:53I don't know why these are crossed out.
0:54:53 > 0:54:55They weren't even looking for John G.
0:54:55 > 0:54:56The stuff they found in the car
0:54:56 > 0:55:00fitted what they believed had happened, so they didn't chase it up.

0:56:24 > 0:56:26Was it good for you?
0:56:26 > 0:56:28SHE LAUGHS SOFTLY
0:56:28 > 0:56:30What? Was I supposed to lock the door?
0:56:32 > 0:56:33SOFTLY: No.
0:56:35 > 0:56:37I'd like you to leave now.
0:56:56 > 0:56:58There's something about the drugs
0:56:58 > 0:57:00stashed in the car that doesn't ring true.
0:57:00 > 0:57:02The police say the guy was an addict
0:57:02 > 0:57:04needing money to score. It's bullshit.
0:57:04 > 0:57:06He's not gonna break into places
0:57:06 > 0:57:08while he's still got a stash that big.
0:57:08 > 0:57:11Well, I think John G left it there. Or planted it there.
0:57:12 > 0:57:14How do you know that?
0:57:16 > 0:57:18Oh, shit, that's true. It fits.
0:57:18 > 0:57:20So he's a dealer?
0:57:20 > 0:57:22Hang on a sec.
0:57:32 > 0:57:35Now we're getting somewhere.
0:57:35 > 0:57:36'Discount Inn.'
0:58:28 > 0:58:30Yeah, OK. Blonde's fine.
0:58:31 > 0:58:34Well, that's what they say.
0:58:34 > 0:58:37The Discount Inn. 304.
0:58:37 > 0:58:38Leonard.
0:58:40 > 0:58:41Well, what then?
0:58:41 > 0:58:44We just go to bed. You wait for me to fall asleep.
0:58:44 > 0:58:46You go into the bathroom and slam the door.
0:58:46 > 0:58:49- Slam it? - Yeah. Loud enough to wake me up.
0:58:49 > 0:58:51- And that's it?- That's it.
0:58:51 > 0:58:52Ah...
0:58:52 > 0:58:56Yeah, first, I just need you to put these things around the room.
0:58:59 > 0:59:02Pretend they're your things and this is your bedroom.
0:59:14 > 0:59:17- Should I wear it?- No, no, no. Uh, just like you took it off.
0:59:21 > 0:59:24I don't want you to use it. I'm sorry.
0:59:25 > 0:59:27I just mean put them around the room,
0:59:27 > 0:59:29as if they were your... Your things.
0:59:34 > 0:59:35Whatever gets you off.
0:59:55 > 0:59:56DOOR SLAMS
0:59:59 > 1:00:02I can't blame the cops for not taking me seriously.
1:00:02 > 1:00:05This is a difficult condition to understand. Look at Sammy Jankis.
1:00:05 > 1:00:07His own wife couldn't deal with it.
1:00:07 > 1:00:10I told you how she tried to get him to snap out of it.
1:00:10 > 1:00:12She came to see me, I found out all kinds of shit.
1:00:12 > 1:00:15'She told me about life with Sammy. How she treated him.'
1:00:15 > 1:00:17Thank you for seeing me.
1:00:17 > 1:00:19She'd get Sammy to hide food around the house,
1:00:19 > 1:00:21then she'd stop feeding him to see
1:00:21 > 1:00:22if his hunger would make him remember.
1:00:22 > 1:00:25I've taken him to a parking lot and, um...
1:00:25 > 1:00:29'She wasn't a cruel person. She just wanted her old Sammy back.'
1:00:29 > 1:00:32You know all about Sammy and you've decided he's faking.
1:00:32 > 1:00:35The company's position isn't that Sammy's faking anything,
1:00:35 > 1:00:37just that his condition can't be shown to be...
1:00:37 > 1:00:40I just want to know your honest opinion about Sammy.
1:00:40 > 1:00:43We shouldn't talk like this while the case is still open to appeal.
1:00:43 > 1:00:44I'm not appealing the decision.
1:00:44 > 1:00:46Then why are you here?
1:00:46 > 1:00:48Try to understand, when I look at Sammy,
1:00:48 > 1:00:52I don't see some...vegetable.
1:00:52 > 1:00:53I see my same old Sammy.
1:00:55 > 1:00:57What do you think that's like for me,
1:00:57 > 1:01:00to suspect that he might be imagining this whole problem?
1:01:00 > 1:01:03That if I just could say the right thing he'd snap out of it
1:01:03 > 1:01:05and go back to being normal.
1:01:06 > 1:01:07If I...
1:01:10 > 1:01:13If I knew that my old Sammy were truly gone...
1:01:13 > 1:01:18then I could say goodbye and start loving this new Sammy.
1:01:20 > 1:01:23As long as I have doubt, I can't say goodbye and move on.
1:01:23 > 1:01:24What do you want from me?
1:01:24 > 1:01:27I want you to forget the company you work for for 30 seconds
1:01:27 > 1:01:31and tell me if you really believe that Sammy's faking his condition.
1:01:32 > 1:01:34I need to know...
1:01:34 > 1:01:36what you honestly believe.
1:01:41 > 1:01:45I believe Sammy should be physically capable of making new memories.
1:01:52 > 1:01:54Thank you.
1:01:56 > 1:01:57'I thought I helped her.'
1:01:57 > 1:01:59I thought she just needed an answer.
1:01:59 > 1:02:01I didn't think it was important what it was,
1:02:01 > 1:02:03just that she had one to believe.
1:02:18 > 1:02:20A car this nice you should lock.
1:02:20 > 1:02:22- Who the fuck are you?! - Teddy, your buddy.
1:02:22 > 1:02:23Prove it!
1:02:23 > 1:02:26Remember Sammy? You told me about Sammy!
1:02:28 > 1:02:31- Jeez!- What the fuck are you doing in my car?
1:02:31 > 1:02:35Did your sense of humour go with the memory? D'you know why you're here?
1:02:35 > 1:02:36Unfinished business.
1:02:36 > 1:02:41Lenny, let me inform you, your business here is very much finished.
1:02:41 > 1:02:44- You're still here because of Natalie.- Who's Natalie?
1:02:44 > 1:02:47Schmuck! Whose house do you think you just walked out of?
1:02:49 > 1:02:53That's right, take a look at your pictures - I bet you got one of her.
1:02:53 > 1:02:57Oh, nice shot, Leibovitz(!)
1:02:57 > 1:03:00You'll want to make a note. You can't trust her.
1:03:00 > 1:03:02Why's that?
1:03:02 > 1:03:05Because by now she's taken a look at the suit and the car
1:03:05 > 1:03:09and she's figuring out ways to turn the situation to her advantage.
1:03:09 > 1:03:12She's already got you staying with her for Christ sakes.
1:03:12 > 1:03:14You can't go back in there.
1:03:14 > 1:03:16Let me give you the name of a motel.
1:03:16 > 1:03:18You're lucky I ran into you. That broad's bad news.
1:03:18 > 1:03:20What do you mean "bad news"?
1:03:20 > 1:03:22She's involved with drugs.
1:03:22 > 1:03:24Look. See these?
1:03:24 > 1:03:28This is the bar where she works. Her boyfriend's a drug dealer.
1:03:28 > 1:03:31She takes orders for him, arranges meets.
1:03:31 > 1:03:33He writes messages on the back of these,
1:03:33 > 1:03:36then she slips him the answers when she serves him.
1:03:36 > 1:03:40- Why should I care? - Because when she gets jammed up,
1:03:40 > 1:03:42she'll use you to protect herself.
1:03:42 > 1:03:44From who?
1:03:44 > 1:03:47Guys are gonna wanna know what happened to her boyfriend.
1:03:47 > 1:03:49Guys are gonna come after her.
1:03:49 > 1:03:51Somebody's got to pay, Lenny. Somebody always pays.
1:03:51 > 1:03:53Maybe she'll make it you.
1:03:53 > 1:03:56Oh, yeah? Well, maybe she'll make it you. Is that it?
1:03:56 > 1:03:59You worried she's gonna use me against you?
1:03:59 > 1:04:01- No.- Why not?
1:04:01 > 1:04:04Because she doesn't know who I am.
1:04:04 > 1:04:06Why are you following me?
1:04:06 > 1:04:07Maybe I wanna help.
1:04:07 > 1:04:11She doesn't know anything about your investigation. OK, Einstein?
1:04:11 > 1:04:13So write this down.
1:04:13 > 1:04:18When she offers to help, it'll be for her own reasons.
1:04:18 > 1:04:23I'm not lying. Take my pen, write this down.
1:04:23 > 1:04:25Do not trust her.
1:04:32 > 1:04:34There. You happy now?
1:04:34 > 1:04:37- I won't be happy until you leave town.- Why not?
1:04:37 > 1:04:39You ever wonder how long you can hang around
1:04:39 > 1:04:41before people start asking questions?
1:04:41 > 1:04:42What sort of questions?
1:04:42 > 1:04:44The sort you should be asking yourself.
1:04:44 > 1:04:47- Like what?- Like how did you get this suit, the car?
1:04:47 > 1:04:48- I have money.- From what?
1:04:48 > 1:04:51My wife's death. I used to work in insurance. We were well covered.
1:04:51 > 1:04:53Oh!
1:04:53 > 1:04:57So in your grief you wandered into a Jaguar dealership?
1:04:59 > 1:05:03You don't have a clue, do you? You don't even know who you are.
1:05:03 > 1:05:04Yes, I do.
1:05:04 > 1:05:07I don't have amnesia. I remember everything right up to the incident.
1:05:07 > 1:05:10I am Leonard Shelby, I am from San Francisco...
1:05:10 > 1:05:11That's who you WERE.
1:05:11 > 1:05:15You do not know who you ARE. What you've become since...
1:05:16 > 1:05:17..the incident.
1:05:17 > 1:05:19You wander around playing detective.
1:05:19 > 1:05:22You don't even know how long ago it was.
1:05:24 > 1:05:25Let me put it this way...
1:05:25 > 1:05:28Were you wearing designer suits when you sold insurance?
1:05:28 > 1:05:30I didn't sell insurance, I investigated.
1:05:30 > 1:05:32Right, right. You're an investigator.
1:05:32 > 1:05:35Maybe you should investigate yourself.
1:05:35 > 1:05:37Oh, thank you for the advice.
1:05:39 > 1:05:42Look, do me a favour, don't go back in there.
1:05:42 > 1:05:44Will you take the motel out of town?
1:05:48 > 1:05:49It's been fun, Lenny.
1:05:57 > 1:05:58"Do not trust her."
1:06:00 > 1:06:02"Don't believe his lies."
1:06:15 > 1:06:17Oh, fuck it, I need my own place.
1:06:18 > 1:06:20STARTS ENGINE
1:06:24 > 1:06:27No. She shouldn't have given me that responsibility.
1:06:27 > 1:06:29I'm a claims investigator, not a doctor.

1:07:16 > 1:07:17Why?
1:07:17 > 1:07:20Because of you! Because I did what you told me to do, reason with him,

1:07:57 > 1:07:58I went to Dodd...
1:07:59 > 1:08:03..and I told him that I didn't have any of Jimmy's money
1:08:03 > 1:08:05or the drugs.
1:08:06 > 1:08:10And that this Teddy must have taken everything.
1:08:10 > 1:08:12And what did he say?
1:08:13 > 1:08:14He didn't believe me.
1:08:17 > 1:08:20He said if I don't have the drugs by tomorrow, he's gonna kill me.
1:08:20 > 1:08:23And then he just... He just started hitting me.
1:08:25 > 1:08:27Where is he?
1:08:27 > 1:08:28Why?
1:08:28 > 1:08:30I'll go see him.
1:08:30 > 1:08:32- And?- I'll give him some bruises of his own
1:08:32 > 1:08:34and tell him to look for a guy called Teddy.
1:08:34 > 1:08:36Oh, he'll kill you, Lenny.

1:08:50 > 1:08:54No, no, no. You just tell me what he looks like.
1:08:54 > 1:08:57And where I can find him. Have you got a pen?
1:08:57 > 1:08:59In my purse.
1:09:08 > 1:09:11He'll, um... He'll probably find YOU.
1:09:11 > 1:09:12What do you mean?
1:09:12 > 1:09:14I told him about your car.

1:25:47 > 1:25:51I was wrong about Sammy and I was wrong about his wife.
1:25:51 > 1:25:53She wasn't interested in the money.
1:25:53 > 1:25:55She needed to understand his problem.
1:25:55 > 1:25:58'His brain didn't respond to conditioning, but he was no conman.
1:25:58 > 1:26:01'When she looked into his eyes, she thought he could be the same person.'
1:26:01 > 1:26:04'When I looked into his eyes, I thought I saw recognition.'
1:26:04 > 1:26:06Now I know you fake it.
1:26:06 > 1:26:09If you think you're supposed to recognise somebody, you pretend to.
1:26:09 > 1:26:12'You bluff it to get a pat on the head from the doctors.'
1:26:12 > 1:26:15You bluff it to seem less of a freak.
1:26:17 > 1:26:19What drug dealer?
1:26:19 > 1:26:22TYRES SQUEAL
1:26:44 > 1:26:47- Hey, Lenny, how are you doing? - It's private back here.
1:26:47 > 1:26:48It's OK, we know each other.
1:26:48 > 1:26:49How did you know I was in here?
1:26:49 > 1:26:52The Jag's out front. Should've put her round back.
1:26:52 > 1:26:55Why are you still here, Lenny? Plenty of tattoo parlours up north.
1:26:55 > 1:26:58I guess I wanted to get something down before it slipped my mind.
1:26:58 > 1:27:00- Give me the keys, I'll move it. - It'll be OK.
1:27:00 > 1:27:02- Wait out there.- Oh, for Christ...
1:27:02 > 1:27:04Give me a minute, I've got to get something for you.
1:27:08 > 1:27:12'Fact six: Car licence SG13 7IU.'
1:27:18 > 1:27:21Look, wait a minute, will ya?
1:27:23 > 1:27:26- We've got to get you out of here. - Why?
1:27:26 > 1:27:29Come on, Leonard, how many times I gotta tell you?
1:27:29 > 1:27:31- It's not safe for you to hang around here any more.- Why not?
1:27:31 > 1:27:34Because that cop's looking for you. I gotta get you a new identity,
1:27:34 > 1:27:38new clothes... A different car would do for now. Put these on.
1:27:38 > 1:27:40Whoa, whoa. What cop?
1:27:40 > 1:27:43He's a bad cop. He's the one that checked you into the Discount Inn.
1:27:43 > 1:27:45He's been calling you for days, telling you shit,
1:27:45 > 1:27:47slipping envelopes under your door, shit like that.
1:27:47 > 1:27:49- How do you know this?- He told me.
1:27:49 > 1:27:51He thinks it's funny. He's been laughing at you.
1:27:51 > 1:27:53- You're full of shit.- No, I'm not.
1:27:53 > 1:27:55He knows you're no good on the phone so he calls.
1:27:55 > 1:27:56Sometimes you don't answer,
1:27:56 > 1:27:59so he slips shit under your door to scare you into answering it...
1:27:59 > 1:28:02giving you a line of crap about John G being a local drug dealer.
1:28:02 > 1:28:04Jimmy Grants.
1:28:04 > 1:28:07- Who's Jimmy Grants? - Leonard, Jimmy's the drug dealer.
1:28:07 > 1:28:10The cop wants to know about his operation. He's got a score in mind.
1:28:10 > 1:28:14- Somehow you're involved. - How do you know him?
1:28:14 > 1:28:15I'm a snitch.
1:28:15 > 1:28:19He's a cop from out of town. The local boys put us together.
1:28:19 > 1:28:21If he knew I was helping you, he'd fucking kill me.
1:28:21 > 1:28:25So take these clothes, put them on and get the fuck out of here.
1:28:25 > 1:28:27Come on, Leonard, just go.
1:28:47 > 1:28:48You are full of shit.
1:28:51 > 1:28:53"Come by after. Natalie."
1:28:53 > 1:28:55'Ferdy's Bar.'
1:29:34 > 1:29:35KNOCKS ON WINDOW
1:29:35 > 1:29:37Hey, Jimmy.
1:29:39 > 1:29:42I'm sorry, I, uh, thought you were somebody else.
1:29:42 > 1:29:45Sorry.
1:29:45 > 1:29:46That's OK.
1:29:59 > 1:30:03This Jimmy Grants deals drugs out of the bar his girlfriend works in?
1:30:03 > 1:30:07But he's not going to bring her along? He'll come by himself, right?
1:30:07 > 1:30:11I always figured the drugs angle would be the best way to get him.
1:30:11 > 1:30:14No, officer. I'm as ready as I'll ever be.
1:30:14 > 1:30:17You're in the lobby? What do you look like?
1:30:19 > 1:30:20I'll be right there.
1:31:01 > 1:31:02Lenny!
1:31:05 > 1:31:06Officer Gammell?
1:31:09 > 1:31:11Yeah. Come on.
1:31:27 > 1:31:30- Hey, smile. - Oh, don't, uh... Not here.
1:31:30 > 1:31:32Over here.
1:31:37 > 1:31:40Is it Officer or Lieutenant Gammell?
1:31:40 > 1:31:43You know what? Don't write Gammell, just Teddy.
1:31:43 > 1:31:45- Why?- I'm undercover.
1:31:48 > 1:31:50This is the directions, where he's going.
1:31:50 > 1:31:53- My number's on the bottom if you... - You're not coming?
1:31:53 > 1:31:55Nah, it wouldn't be appropriate.
1:31:59 > 1:32:02Nice picture. I look thin.
1:32:06 > 1:32:08Hey, Lenny!
1:32:08 > 1:32:09Make him beg.
1:33:28 > 1:33:30Teddy!
1:33:32 > 1:33:34Hey, Teddy!
1:33:37 > 1:33:38Teddy!
1:33:41 > 1:33:42Jimmy.
1:33:44 > 1:33:46- What the fuck are you doing here? - Are you Jimmy Grants?
1:33:46 > 1:33:49Expect any other Jimmys out here, memory man?
1:33:49 > 1:33:51Do you remember me?
1:33:51 > 1:33:55Yeah, I remember you. Where the fuck's Teddy?
1:33:55 > 1:33:56Well?
1:33:59 > 1:34:01Motherfuck...!
1:34:01 > 1:34:03What are you doing?!
1:34:04 > 1:34:06Strip.
1:34:06 > 1:34:07You're making a big fucking mistake!
1:34:07 > 1:34:10Strip!
1:34:10 > 1:34:13My associates are not the kind of people you wanna piss off.
1:34:13 > 1:34:14Don't say anything else.
1:34:14 > 1:34:16I knew I couldn't trust that fuck!
1:34:16 > 1:34:17Take it off.
1:34:22 > 1:34:25Your pants, too.
1:34:25 > 1:34:27- Why? - I don't wanna get blood on them.
1:34:27 > 1:34:31Whoa, whoa, whoa! Wait! Did he tell you what I was bringing?
1:34:31 > 1:34:32Take your fuckin' pants off!
1:34:32 > 1:34:36I've got 200 grand in the car. Just take it!
1:34:36 > 1:34:38- You think you can bargain with me? - Just take the money and walk away.
1:34:38 > 1:34:42- I don't want your fucking money. - Then what?
1:34:42 > 1:34:44What do you want from me?
1:34:44 > 1:34:46I want my fucking life back!
1:36:13 > 1:36:14- SOFTLY:- Sammy.
1:36:20 > 1:36:22'He said Sammy. How does he know about Sammy?'
1:36:22 > 1:36:24Oh, fuck.
1:36:26 > 1:36:29CAR PULLS UP OUTSIDE
1:36:44 > 1:36:45'What have I done?'
1:36:47 > 1:36:48Hey, mister! I need help!
1:36:48 > 1:36:51There's a guy in here, he's hurt bad. We gotta get him to a doctor.
1:36:51 > 1:36:53All right.
1:36:54 > 1:36:56I don't know what happened. I've got this memory thing.
1:36:56 > 1:36:59- Do I know you? - No. Don't worry, I'm a cop.
1:36:59 > 1:37:02- Is he still breathing? - Well, I don't know. Maybe.
1:37:02 > 1:37:05What the hell were you guys doing?
1:37:05 > 1:37:07I don't remember, I have this condition.
1:37:07 > 1:37:10I hope it's not as serious as his, cos this guy's dead.
1:37:10 > 1:37:13Ow! Lenny! That shit kills!
1:37:13 > 1:37:15So you remember me now, huh?
1:37:15 > 1:37:17- You are a fucking cop!- Yeah!
1:37:17 > 1:37:19And I'm the guy that helped you find him.
1:37:19 > 1:37:21Get up! Get up!
1:37:21 > 1:37:23Lenny, you've got the wrong idea!
1:37:26 > 1:37:28Who is that? He knew me.
1:37:28 > 1:37:31Of course he did, he raped your wife, he fucked up your brain.
1:37:31 > 1:37:33Bullshit! He's not the guy.
1:37:33 > 1:37:36His name is James F Grants. John G. Check your tattoos.
1:37:36 > 1:37:39- Why did he bring 200 grand?- What?
1:37:41 > 1:37:43- What was it for? - Amphetamines I told him I had.
1:37:43 > 1:37:47- Is this a drug deal? - No. Yeah, that and your thing.
1:37:47 > 1:37:50Look, Jimmy's your guy. I figured we'd make a few dollars on the side.
1:37:50 > 1:37:53- How did he know me? - The Discount Inn.
1:37:53 > 1:37:54He dealt out of there.
1:37:54 > 1:37:57The guy at the desk let him know if anybody came snooping around.
1:37:57 > 1:38:00He called Jimmy the minute he saw you taking a picture of the dump.
1:38:00 > 1:38:02- You're fucking using me. - No! You get half.
1:38:02 > 1:38:04He knew about Sammy! Why would I tell him about fucking Sammy?!
1:38:04 > 1:38:08You tell everybody about Sammy! Everybody who'll listen!
1:38:08 > 1:38:10"Remember Sammy Jankis? Remember Sammy Jankis?"
1:38:10 > 1:38:14Great story, gets better every time you tell it.
1:38:14 > 1:38:17So you lie to yourself to be happy. There's nothing wrong with that.
1:38:17 > 1:38:18We all do it.
1:38:18 > 1:38:21Who cares if there's a few little details you'd rather not remember?
1:38:23 > 1:38:24What the fuck are you talking about?
1:38:24 > 1:38:26I don't know.
1:38:26 > 1:38:30Your wife surviving the assault, her not believing your condition.
1:38:30 > 1:38:35The torment and pain and anguish tearing her up inside.
1:38:35 > 1:38:36The insulin.
1:38:38 > 1:38:40That's Sammy, not me. I told you about Sammy.
1:38:40 > 1:38:43Yeah, right. Like you tell yourself over and over again.
1:38:43 > 1:38:46Conditioning yourself to remember, learning through repetition.
1:38:46 > 1:38:49Sammy let his wife kill herself. Sammy ended up in an institution.
1:38:49 > 1:38:53Sammy was a conman. A faker.
1:38:53 > 1:38:55I never said that Sammy was faking.
1:38:55 > 1:38:58You exposed him for what he was. A fraud.
1:38:58 > 1:39:00I was wrong. That's the whole point.
1:39:01 > 1:39:04- See, Sammy's wife came to me... - Sammy didn't have a wife.
1:39:06 > 1:39:09It was your wife who had diabetes.
1:39:15 > 1:39:16Ouch!
1:39:19 > 1:39:21My wife wasn't diabetic.
1:39:21 > 1:39:22Are you sure?
1:39:27 > 1:39:29Ouch! Cut it out!
1:39:29 > 1:39:31She wasn't diabetic.
1:39:31 > 1:39:34You think I don't know my own wife? What the fuck is wrong with you?
1:39:34 > 1:39:38I guess I can only make you remember the things you want to be true.
1:39:38 > 1:39:40- Like old Jimmy down there. - He's not the right guy.
1:39:40 > 1:39:42He was to you.
1:39:42 > 1:39:46Come on, you got your revenge. Enjoy it while you still remember.
1:39:46 > 1:39:48What difference does it make whether he was your guy or not?
1:39:48 > 1:39:50It makes all the difference.
1:39:50 > 1:39:52- Why? You're never gonna know. - Yes, I will.- You won't.
1:39:52 > 1:39:54- Somehow I'll know. - You won't remember!
1:39:54 > 1:39:56When it's done, I'll know. It'll be different
1:39:56 > 1:40:00I thought so too, I was sure of it, but you didn't!
1:40:02 > 1:40:06That's right. The real John G.
1:40:06 > 1:40:08I helped you find him over a year ago.
1:40:08 > 1:40:09He's already dead.
1:40:09 > 1:40:13- Don't lie to me any more. - Look, Lenny...
1:40:13 > 1:40:15I was the cop assigned to your wife's case, I believed you.
1:40:15 > 1:40:18I thought you deserved a chance for revenge.
1:40:18 > 1:40:21I helped you find the other guy in your bathroom that night.
1:40:21 > 1:40:23The guy that cracked your skull and fucked your wife.
1:40:23 > 1:40:26We found him, you killed him.
1:40:27 > 1:40:30But you didn't remember.
1:40:30 > 1:40:35So I helped you start looking again, for the guy you already killed.
1:40:35 > 1:40:37Oh, yeah? So who was he?
1:40:37 > 1:40:40Just some guy. Does it matter who?
1:40:40 > 1:40:44No reason, Lenny, no conspiracy, just bad fucking luck.
1:40:44 > 1:40:49Couple of junkies too strung out to realise your wife didn't live alone.
1:40:49 > 1:40:54But when you killed him I was so convinced that you'd remember.
1:40:54 > 1:40:56But it didn't stick.
1:40:56 > 1:40:59Like nothing ever sticks, like this won't stick.
1:41:03 > 1:41:05I took that picture.
1:41:06 > 1:41:07Just when you did it.
1:41:09 > 1:41:11Look how happy you are.
1:41:12 > 1:41:14I wanted to see that face again.
1:41:14 > 1:41:17- Oh, gee, thanks(!)- Fuck you.
1:41:17 > 1:41:21I gave you a reason to live, and you were more than happy to help.
1:41:21 > 1:41:23You don't want the truth.
1:41:23 > 1:41:27You make up your own truth, like your police file.
1:41:27 > 1:41:30It was complete when I gave it to you. Who took out the 12 pages?
1:41:30 > 1:41:31You, probably.
1:41:31 > 1:41:34- No, it wasn't me, see, it was you. - Why would I do that?
1:41:34 > 1:41:36To create a puzzle you could never solve.
1:41:36 > 1:41:38Do you know how many towns,
1:41:38 > 1:41:40how many John Gs or James Gs...?
1:41:40 > 1:41:43I mean, shit, Lenny, I'm a fucking John G.
1:41:43 > 1:41:46- Your name's Teddy. - My mother calls me Teddy.
1:41:46 > 1:41:49My name's John Edward Gammell.
1:41:49 > 1:41:52Cheer up. There's plenty of John Gs for us to find.
1:41:56 > 1:42:00All you do is moan! I'm the one that has to live with what you've done.
1:42:00 > 1:42:02I'm the one that put it all together.
1:42:02 > 1:42:05You, you wander around, you're playing detective.
1:42:05 > 1:42:07You're living a dream, kid.
1:42:07 > 1:42:10A dead wife to pine for, a sense of purpose to your life -
1:42:10 > 1:42:14a romantic quest that you wouldn't end even if I wasn't in the picture.
1:42:15 > 1:42:17I should kill you.
1:42:17 > 1:42:18Quit it! Lenny, come on.
1:42:18 > 1:42:21You're not a killer. That's why you're so good at it.
1:42:24 > 1:42:26Come on, what are you doing?
1:42:26 > 1:42:29You know what time it is? It's beer o'clock, I'm buying.
1:42:31 > 1:42:33Fuck!
1:42:42 > 1:42:44'I'm not a killer.
1:42:44 > 1:42:47'I'm just someone who wanted to make things right.
1:42:52 > 1:42:55'Can I just let myself forget what you've told me?
1:43:11 > 1:43:14'Can I just let myself forget what you've made me do?
1:43:28 > 1:43:30'You think I just want another puzzle to solve?
1:43:30 > 1:43:34'Another John G to look for?
1:43:34 > 1:43:35'You're a John G.
1:43:37 > 1:43:39'So you can be my John G.
1:43:47 > 1:43:50'Do I lie to myself to be happy?
1:43:50 > 1:43:52'In your case, Teddy...
1:43:53 > 1:43:55'..yes, I will.'
1:44:07 > 1:44:09Hey! Hey, that's not your car!
1:44:09 > 1:44:13- It is now. - Jesus Christ, you can't take it!
1:44:13 > 1:44:15- Why not? - The guy you just killed owns it.
1:44:15 > 1:44:17Somebody'll recognise it.
1:44:18 > 1:44:22You know, I'd rather be mistaken for a dead guy than a killer.
1:44:22 > 1:44:26I might hang on to this for a while.
1:44:26 > 1:44:27Lenny.
1:44:27 > 1:44:30Look, don't... Will you help me find the keys?
1:44:31 > 1:44:33Help me find my keys!
1:44:33 > 1:44:35Lenny!

1:45:00 > 1:45:03'Even if I can't remember them.'
1:45:03 > 1:45:06'I have to believe that, when my eyes are closed,
1:45:06 > 1:45:08'the world's still here.
1:45:09 > 1:45:12'Do I believe the world's still here?
1:45:14 > 1:45:16'Is it still out there?
1:45:19 > 1:45:21'Yeah.
1:45:23 > 1:45:26'We all need mirrors to remind ourselves who we are.
