0:00:020:00:09

'So, where are you? You're in some motel room.

0:02:200:02:24

'You just wake up and you're in... In a motel room. There's the key.

0:02:240:02:28

'It feels like maybe the first time you've been there, but...

0:02:280:02:31

'perhaps you've been there for a week, three months, it's...

0:02:310:02:36

'It's kind of hard to say, I... I don't know.

0:02:360:02:39

'It's just an anonymous room.'

0:02:390:02:41

This guy. He's here already.

0:02:430:02:46

Lenny!

0:02:480:02:50

It's Leonard.

0:02:500:02:52

-Like I told you before.

-Did you? I must have forgot.

0:02:530:02:56

I guess I've already told you about my condition.

0:02:580:03:00

Oh, well, only every time I see you.

0:03:000:03:02

-My car.

-This is your car.

0:03:110:03:13

Oh, you're in a playful mood.

0:03:130:03:15

It's not good to make fun of a handicap.

0:03:160:03:19

Just trying to have a little fun.

0:03:190:03:21

ENGINE STARTS

0:03:240:03:27

-Roll up your window.

-Hm?

0:03:270:03:30

-It's broken.

-I can get that fixed for you.

0:03:350:03:38

So, where to, Sherlock?

0:03:380:03:40

I got a lead on a place.

0:03:400:03:42

-What the hell you wanna go there for?

-You know it?

0:03:420:03:44

Yeah, it's just this fucked up building. Why do you wanna go there?

0:03:440:03:48

Don't remember.

0:03:480:03:49

Looks like somebody's home.

0:04:090:04:10

That thing's been here for years.

0:04:100:04:12

What are you talking about? These tracks are only a few days old.

0:04:160:04:18

Tracks? What are you, Pocahontas?

0:04:180:04:20

Come on!

0:04:230:04:24

Let's take a look inside.

0:04:310:04:33

' "Teddy.

0:04:510:04:52

' "Don't believe his lies. He is the one. Kill him."

0:04:520:04:56

'I've finally found him. How long have I been looking?'

0:04:560:05:00

Find anything?

0:05:010:05:03

Didn't think so.

0:05:040:05:06

Let's go, huh? Oh, fuck this.

0:05:060:05:09

You're gonna pay for what you did. Beg forgiveness, and then you pay.

0:05:110:05:15

You don't have a clue, you freak!

0:05:190:05:22

Beg my wife's forgiveness before I blow your brains out.

0:05:220:05:26

Leonard, you don't know what's going on. You don't even know my name.

0:05:260:05:31

-Teddy.

-You read it off a fucking picture.

0:05:310:05:34

You don't know who you are.

0:05:340:05:37

I'm Leonard Shelby, I'm from San Francisco.

0:05:370:05:39

That's who you were. That's not...

0:05:390:05:42

what you've become.

0:05:420:05:43

Shut your mouth.

0:05:430:05:45

You want to know, Lenny? Come on.

0:05:450:05:47

Let's go down to the basement. Let's go, you and me together.

0:05:470:05:51

Then you'll know who you really are.

0:05:510:05:53

-No!

-GUNSHOT

0:05:580:06:00

'It's an anonymous room. Nothing in the drawers, but you look anyway.

0:06:010:06:05

'Nothing except the Gideon Bible,

0:06:050:06:08

'which I, of course, read religiously.

0:06:080:06:10

'LAUGHING: Hm...

0:06:100:06:12

'You know who you are and you know kind of all about yourself,

0:06:120:06:16

'but, just for day-to-day stuff, notes are really useful.

0:06:160:06:22

'Sammy Jankis had the same problem, but he really had no system.

0:06:220:06:26

'He wrote himself a ridiculous amount of notes,

0:06:260:06:29

'but he'd mix them up.

0:06:290:06:31

'You really do need a system if... If you're gonna make it work.'

0:06:310:06:35

BELL RINGS

0:07:240:07:26

-Hi.

-Hi.

0:07:280:07:30

I'm Mr Shelby from 304.

0:07:300:07:31

-What can I do for you, Leonard?

-Um...

-Burt.

0:07:310:07:35

Burt. I'm not sure, I think I may have asked you to hold my calls.

0:07:350:07:38

You don't know?

0:07:380:07:39

I'm not too good on the phone.

0:07:390:07:41

You said you like to look people in the eye when you talk to them.

0:07:410:07:44

Yeah, yeah.

0:07:440:07:45

You don't remember that.

0:07:450:07:46

I have this condition.

0:07:460:07:49

Condition?

0:07:490:07:50

It's my memory.

0:07:500:07:51

Amnesia?

0:07:510:07:52

No, it's different from that.

0:07:520:07:54

I have no short-term memory. I know who I am, I just...

0:07:540:07:57

Since my injury, I can't make new memories. Everything fades.

0:07:570:08:01

If we talk for too long, I'll forget how we started,

0:08:010:08:05

and, next time I see you, I won't remember this conversation.

0:08:050:08:08

I don't even know if I've met you before.

0:08:080:08:10

So if I seem a little strange or rude, or something, uh...

0:08:100:08:14

I've told you this before, haven't I?

0:08:160:08:18

I don't mean to mess with you, but it's so weird.

0:08:180:08:21

You don't remember me at all?

0:08:210:08:23

No.

0:08:230:08:24

We've talked a bunch of times.

0:08:240:08:25

I'm sure we have.

0:08:250:08:27

What's the last thing you remember?

0:08:270:08:30

My wife.

0:08:300:08:32

What's it like?

0:08:320:08:33

It's like waking.

0:08:380:08:40

It's like you just woke up.

0:08:400:08:41

That must suck.

0:08:430:08:45

It's all backwards.

0:08:450:08:47

Like, you got an idea what you want to do next, but you don't remember what you just did.

0:08:470:08:52

I mean, I'm exactly the opposite...

0:08:520:08:54

How long have I been staying here?

0:08:540:08:56

-Couple of days.

-And you're holding my calls?

0:08:560:08:58

Like you said.

0:08:580:08:59

OK, but this guy's an exception.

0:08:590:09:02

You know this guy?

0:09:020:09:03

Yeah, it's your friend, right?

0:09:040:09:06

What makes you think that?

0:09:060:09:08

I saw you together, that's all.

0:09:080:09:09

He's not my friend.

0:09:090:09:11

OK.

0:09:110:09:12

If he calls or shows up here, give me a call in my room, OK?

0:09:120:09:15

What, his name's Teddy?

0:09:150:09:17

Teddy, yeah.

0:09:170:09:18

Look, I hope my condition's not gonna be a problem for you.

0:09:200:09:23

Not as long as you remember to pay the bill.

0:09:230:09:26

Yeah. OK.

0:09:260:09:28

40.

0:09:280:09:29

This guy.

0:09:310:09:32

He's here already.

0:09:340:09:35

Lenny!

0:09:370:09:39

'You really need a system if you're gonna make it work.

0:09:400:09:43

'You kinda learn to trust your own handwriting -

0:09:430:09:46

'that becomes an important part of your life.

0:09:460:09:48

'You write yourself notes.

0:09:480:09:50

'Where you put them is really important.

0:09:500:09:52

'You need a jacket with, like, six pockets,

0:09:520:09:54

'particular pockets for particular things.'

0:09:540:09:57

'You just kinda learn to know where things go and how the system works.

0:09:570:10:01

'You have to be wary of other people writing stuff for you

0:10:010:10:04

'that is not going to make sense or is gonna lead you astray.

0:10:040:10:07

'I don't know, I guess people try and take advantage

0:10:070:10:09

'of somebody with this condition.

0:10:090:10:11

'If you have a piece of information which...is...vital,

0:10:110:10:15

'writing on your body instead of on a piece of paper can be the answer.

0:10:150:10:19

'It's a permanent way of keeping a note.'

0:10:190:10:21

PHONE RINGS

0:10:210:10:23

Who is this?

0:10:280:10:30

'Remember Sammy Jankis.'

0:10:370:10:39

DOOR CREAKS

0:10:510:10:54

Sir, you left these at your table.

0:11:080:11:10

Thanks.

0:11:100:11:11

Ah, Lincoln Street?

0:11:110:11:13

Go straight out on Sixth Street, east through town...

0:11:130:11:16

I'm just gonna write this down.

0:11:160:11:18

-Oh, it's easy. Go...

-Trust me, I need to write this down.

0:11:180:11:21

'The Discount Inn.'

0:11:270:11:29

'Discount Inn...

0:11:520:11:55

'Natalie...'

0:11:550:11:56

'My car...'

0:11:590:12:00

'Teddy.'

0:12:020:12:04

'John Edward Gammell.'

0:12:160:12:18

'This guy told me his name was Teddy.'

0:12:200:12:22

' "Don't believe his lies." '

0:12:260:12:28

Huh.

0:12:290:12:30

TAPS NUMBER

0:12:350:12:37

RINGING TONE

0:12:370:12:39

'Yeah?'

0:12:420:12:44

-Mr Gammell?

-'Lenny, is that you?'

0:12:440:12:46

John Gammell?

0:12:460:12:47

'Lenny, it's Teddy. Stay there. I'll be right over.'

0:12:470:12:49

OK. I'll be waiting.

0:12:490:12:51

"White male.

0:13:480:13:50

"First name, John.

0:13:500:13:53

"Last name G..." for Gammell.

0:13:530:13:57

"Drugs.

0:14:010:14:03

"Licence plate..."

0:14:030:14:04

"SG13..."

0:14:060:14:08

"..7IU."

0:14:090:14:12

It's him.

0:14:160:14:17

I've found you, you fuck.

0:14:230:14:26

You said we talked before. I don't remember that.

0:15:240:15:27

Yeah, but it's not amnesia.

0:15:270:15:29

I remember everything till my injury -

0:15:290:15:30

I just can't make new memories.

0:15:300:15:32

So I can't remember talking to you. What did we talk about?

0:15:320:15:35

Oh, Sammy Jankis.

0:15:350:15:36

I guess I tell people about Sammy to help them understand.

0:15:360:15:38

Sammy's story helps me understand my own situation.

0:15:380:15:42

Sammy wrote himself endless amounts of notes.

0:15:420:15:44

But he got mixed up.

0:15:440:15:46

I have a more graceful solution to the memory problem.

0:15:460:15:50

I'm disciplined and organised.

0:15:520:15:55

I use habit and routine to make my life possible.

0:15:550:15:58

Sammy had no drive, no reason to make it work.

0:15:580:16:01

Me?

0:16:020:16:04

Yeah...

0:16:040:16:05

I got a reason.

0:16:050:16:07

CAR LOCK BEEPS

0:16:180:16:20

' "Today, 1pm, meet Natalie for info." '

0:16:240:16:26

' "She has also lost someone. She will help you out of pity." '

0:16:280:16:31

-Natalie.

-You don't remember me.

0:16:480:16:50

I'm sorry, I should've explained. I have this con...

0:16:500:16:52

You did explain, Lenny.

0:16:520:16:54

Please call me Leonard. My wife called me Lenny.

0:16:540:16:57

-I know, you told me.

-Then I probably said I hated it.

0:16:570:17:00

Yeah.

0:17:000:17:02

Do you mind taking your glasses off? It's hard for me to...

0:17:020:17:06

Thanks. So, you have information for me?

0:17:060:17:10

Is that what your little note says?

0:17:100:17:11

Yeah.

0:17:110:17:13

Must be tough living according to a couple of scraps of paper.

0:17:130:17:15

Mix your laundry and grocery lists

0:17:150:17:17

and you'll end up eating your underwear for breakfast.

0:17:170:17:20

I guess that's why you have those freaky tattoos.

0:17:200:17:23

Yeah, it's tough. It's almost impossible.

0:17:230:17:27

Look, I'm sorry I don't remember you. It's nothing personal.

0:17:270:17:30

I do have information for you.

0:17:330:17:34

You gave me a licence-plate number.

0:17:360:17:38

Had my friend at DMV trace it.

0:17:390:17:41

Guess what name came up?

0:17:410:17:43

John Edward Gammell. John G.

0:17:450:17:48

Do you know him?

0:17:480:17:49

No. But his face on his driver's licence looked really familiar.

0:17:490:17:52

I think he's been in the bar, maybe.

0:17:520:17:55

Here's a copy of his licence, his registration, photo and all.

0:17:550:17:59

Are you sure you want this?

0:17:590:18:01

Have I told you what this man did?

0:18:010:18:02

Yeah.

0:18:020:18:03

Well, then, you shouldn't have to ask.

0:18:030:18:06

Even if you get revenge, you won't remember it.

0:18:060:18:08

You won't even know it happened.

0:18:080:18:10

My wife deserves vengeance.

0:18:100:18:11

It doesn't matter if I know about it.

0:18:110:18:13

Just cos there are things I don't remember

0:18:130:18:16

doesn't make my actions meaningless.

0:18:160:18:18

The world doesn't just disappear when you close your eyes, does it?

0:18:180:18:21

Anyway, maybe I'll take a photograph to remind myself.

0:18:210:18:25

Get another freaky tattoo.

0:18:250:18:27

Tell me about her again.

0:18:310:18:33

Why?

0:18:350:18:36

Because you like to remember her.

0:18:360:18:37

She was beautiful.

0:18:400:18:41

-To me, she was perfect.

-No.

0:18:440:18:46

Don't just recite the words.

0:18:460:18:48

Close your eyes, and remember her.

0:18:490:18:53

You can just feel the details.

0:19:030:19:06

The bits and pieces you never bothered to put into words.

0:19:080:19:11

And you can feel these extreme moments...

0:19:150:19:18

even if you don't want to.

0:19:180:19:20

'You put these together and you get the feel of a person.'

0:19:230:19:26

Enough to know how much you miss them.

0:19:280:19:31

'And how much you hate the person who took them away.'

0:19:350:19:38

I, um, I added an address in here.

0:19:480:19:51

It might be useful. It's an abandoned place outside of town.

0:19:510:19:55

Um, I guy I knew used to do bigger deals there.

0:19:550:19:58

It's isolated.

0:20:000:20:02

Sounds perfect.

0:20:020:20:03

Do I owe you any...?

0:20:060:20:07

I wasn't helping you for money.

0:20:070:20:09

-I'm sorry.

-It's OK. See, you have this "condition."

0:20:090:20:13

You still staying at the Discount Inn? Room 304?

0:20:150:20:18

Left it at my place.

0:20:180:20:19

Yeah.

0:20:240:20:26

-They treating you OK?

-I don't remember.

0:20:280:20:31

You know what we have in common?

0:20:340:20:35

We are both survivors.

0:20:370:20:39

You take care, Leonard.

0:20:420:20:44

' "Remember Sammy Jankis." '

0:21:110:21:13

I met Sammy through work. Insurance. I was an investigator.

0:21:140:21:18

I'd investigate claims to see which were phoney.

0:21:180:21:20

I had to see through people's bullshit.

0:21:200:21:23

It was useful experience cos now it's my life.

0:21:230:21:25

When I meet someone, I don't know if I've met them before.

0:21:250:21:28

I have to look in their eyes and try and figure them out.

0:21:280:21:31

'My job taught me the best way to find out what someone knew was to let them talk,

0:21:310:21:34

'watch the eyes and the body language.

0:21:340:21:36

'If someone scratches their nose, experts say it means they're lying -

0:21:360:21:40

'it really means they're nervous.

0:21:400:21:42

'People get nervous for all sorts of reasons. It's all about context.'

0:21:420:21:45

Yeah, I was good.

0:21:450:21:47

Sammy was my first real challenge.

0:21:470:21:50

ENGINE STARTS

0:21:510:21:53

Yo, Lenny! I thought you'd split for good.

0:21:550:21:59

-Well, things change.

-So I see.

0:21:590:22:02

My name's Teddy.

0:22:020:22:03

I guess I've told you about my condition?

0:22:030:22:05

Only every time I see ya.

0:22:050:22:06

Come on, I'll buy you lunch.

0:22:060:22:09

-Have I told you about Sammy Jankis?

-Mmm. Yeah.

0:22:140:22:16

I'm sick of hearing about the guy.

0:22:160:22:18

What about John G? You think he's still here?

0:22:180:22:20

-Who?

-Johnny G - guy you're looking for.

0:22:200:22:23

-That's why you haven't left town, am I right?

-Maybe.

0:22:230:22:26

-Leonard, you have to be very careful.

-Why?

0:22:260:22:29

The other day, you mentioned that

0:22:290:22:30

maybe somebody was trying to set you up.

0:22:300:22:32

Get you to kill the wrong guy.

0:22:320:22:34

I go on facts, not recommendations, but thank you.

0:22:340:22:36

Lenny, you can't trust a man's life to your little notes and pictures.

0:22:360:22:40

-Why not?

-Your notes could be unreliable.

0:22:400:22:43

-Memory's unreliable.

-Oh, please.

0:22:430:22:44

Really. Memory's not perfect, it's not that good. Ask the police.

0:22:440:22:47

Eyewitness testimony is unreliable.

0:22:470:22:49

The cops don't catch a killer by sitting around remembering stuff.

0:22:490:22:52

-They collect facts...

-That's not what I'm saying.

0:22:520:22:54

..make notes, draw conclusions. Facts, not memories.

0:22:540:22:58

That's how you investigate. I know, it's what I used to do.

0:22:580:23:00

Memory can change the shape of a room, the colour of a car.

0:23:000:23:03

And memories can be distorted.

0:23:030:23:06

They're an interpretation, not a record.

0:23:060:23:08

They're irrelevant if you have the facts.

0:23:080:23:11

You really want to get this guy, don't you?

0:23:110:23:13

He killed my wife. He took away my fucking memory.

0:23:130:23:16

He destroyed my ability to live.

0:23:190:23:21

You're living.

0:23:250:23:26

Only for revenge.

0:23:270:23:29

Well, then, we'll get the bastard.

0:23:290:23:30

Where are you staying?

0:23:300:23:32

The Discount Inn. I don't know what room, I haven't got my key.

0:23:350:23:39

Probably left it in your room.

0:23:390:23:41

RINGS BELL

0:23:530:23:55

Hi. I'm checked in here, but I think I've misplaced my key.

0:23:550:23:59

How you doing, Leonard? Probably in the room, right?

0:23:590:24:02

-I don't see my key.

-Oh, shit. This is the wrong room.

0:24:200:24:23

You're in 304 now. I'm sorry. I fucked up.

0:24:230:24:25

-This is not my room?

-No. Come on, let's go.

0:24:250:24:28

Then why is this my handwriting?

0:24:280:24:30

Well...this was your room, but now you're in 304.

0:24:330:24:37

When was I in here?

0:24:370:24:38

Last week. Then I rented you another room on top.

0:24:380:24:41

Why?

0:24:410:24:43

Business is slow. I told my boss about your condition and stuff,

0:24:430:24:46

he said try and rent him another room.

0:24:460:24:49

So how many rooms am I checked into in this shithole?

0:24:490:24:51

Just two. So far.

0:24:510:24:53

Well, at least you're being honest about ripping me off.

0:24:530:24:56

You're not going to remember anyway.

0:24:560:24:59

You don't have to be that honest, Burt.

0:24:590:25:01

Leonard. Always get a receipt.

0:25:010:25:05

Oh, yeah. I'll write that down.

0:25:050:25:07

Hey, what time is it?

0:25:090:25:11

Quarter to one.

0:25:110:25:13

Your room's...

0:25:150:25:16

-Natalie.

-You don't remember me.

0:25:280:25:30

I'd just become an investigator when I came across Sammy.

0:25:300:25:34

Mr Samuel R Jankis, strangest case ever.

0:25:340:25:37

The guy's a 58-year-old, semi-retired accountant.

0:25:370:25:40

He and his wife were in this car accident - nothing serious.

0:25:400:25:43

'But he's acting funny, he can't get a handle on what's going on.'

0:25:430:25:46

'The doctors find possible damage to the hippocampus, nothing conclusive.

0:25:470:25:51

'Sammy can't remember anything for more than a couple of minutes.

0:25:510:25:54

'Can't work, can't do shit. The medical bills pile up,

0:25:540:25:57

'his wife calls the insurance company, and I get sent in.

0:25:570:26:00

'It's my first big claims investigation,

0:26:000:26:03

'so I really check into it.

0:26:030:26:05

'Sammy can think just fine, but he can't make new memories.

0:26:050:26:09

'He can only remember things for a couple of minutes.'

0:26:090:26:11

'He'd watch TV but anything longer than a few minutes was too confusing,

0:26:130:26:16

'he couldn't remember how it began.

0:26:160:26:18

'He liked commercials. They were short.'

0:26:180:26:20

Sammy. It's time for my shot.

0:26:200:26:22

'The crazy part was that this guy,

0:26:220:26:25

'who couldn't follow the plot of Green Acres any more,

0:26:250:26:28

'could do the most complicated things

0:26:280:26:30

'as long as he learned them before the accident..'

0:26:300:26:32

'..and as long as he kept his mind on what he was doing.

0:26:340:26:38

'The doctors assure me there's a real condition -

0:26:380:26:41

'anterograde memory loss, or short-term memory loss.

0:26:410:26:45

'It's rare, but legit.'

0:26:450:26:47

'But every time I see him...'

0:26:480:26:49

'..I catch this look,

0:26:510:26:53

'this...slight look of recognition.

0:26:530:26:56

'But he says he can't remember me at all.'

0:26:560:27:00

Sammy, it's OK. I got it.

0:27:000:27:02

-Hi, Mr Shelby.

-Hi, Mrs Jankis.

0:27:020:27:04

'Now, I can read people, and I'm thinking "bad actor".'

0:27:040:27:09

So now I'm suspicious and I order more tests.

0:27:090:27:11

'Awake.'

0:27:140:27:16

'But where am I?'

0:27:170:27:19

'Somebody's bedroom.'

0:27:220:27:25

'Oh, it must be her room.'

0:27:260:27:28

'But who is she?'

0:27:290:27:31

It's only me.

0:27:390:27:41

Did you sleep OK?

0:27:430:27:44

Yeah. You?

0:27:440:27:46

Oh, shit. Shit.

0:27:470:27:50

I've got to be someplace.

0:27:500:27:51

It's pretty weird.

0:27:550:27:57

It's useful. You never write a phone number on your hand?

0:27:570:28:01

I... I should be able to talk to my friend today

0:28:010:28:04

about the licence plate.

0:28:040:28:06

Yeah, the licence plate.

0:28:060:28:08

John G's licence plate.

0:28:080:28:10

You have it tattooed on your thigh.

0:28:140:28:16

' "Natalie." '

0:28:330:28:34

' "She has also lost someone. She will help you out of pity." '

0:28:370:28:41

Mm. If it's registered in this state,

0:28:450:28:47

it should only take two seconds to pull up his registration.

0:28:470:28:50

I'll call you as soon as I talk to him.

0:28:500:28:52

Could we arrange a meeting now? I'm not too good on the phone.

0:28:520:28:55

You know, it's great that you...

0:29:040:29:06

Well, that you're...

0:29:080:29:10

helping me like this.

0:29:100:29:12

I'm helping you because you helped me.

0:29:120:29:15

So, next time you see me...

0:29:270:29:29

will you remember me?

0:29:290:29:31

-SOFTLY:

-I think you will.

0:29:470:29:48

SOFTLY: I'm sorry.

0:29:500:29:52

Lenny, before you go, could I have my shirt back, please?

0:29:550:29:58

ENGINE STARTS

0:30:090:30:10

Yo, Lenny! I thought you'd split for good.

0:30:130:30:16

Sammy couldn't pick up any new skills at all.

0:30:160:30:19

But I find something in my research.

0:30:190:30:22

Conditioning.

0:30:220:30:23

Sammy should still be able to learn through repetition.

0:30:230:30:26

It's how you learn to ride a bike - you get better through practice.

0:30:260:30:29

It's a different part of the brain from the short-term memory.

0:30:290:30:31

So I had the doctors test Sammy's response to conditioning.

0:30:310:30:34

Pick up any three objects.

0:30:340:30:37

That's a test?

0:30:370:30:38

Where were you guys when I did my CPA?

0:30:380:30:42

Sorry.

0:30:420:30:43

Ta-da(!)

0:30:450:30:47

-BUZZING

-Ow! What the fuck?

0:30:470:30:49

-It's a test, Sammy.

-Test this, you fucking quack.

0:30:490:30:53

'Some of the objects were electrified.

0:30:530:30:55

'They'd give him a small shock.

0:30:550:30:57

'They kept repeating the test, always with the same objects electrified.'

0:30:570:31:00

The point was to see if Sammy could learn to avoid

0:31:000:31:02

the electrified objects,

0:31:020:31:04

not by memory, but by instinct.

0:31:040:31:06

KNOCKS ON DOOR

0:31:210:31:22

Natalie, right? Who the fuck is Dodd?

0:31:260:31:28

Guess I don't have to worry about him any more.

0:31:320:31:34

-What the fuck have you got me into?

-Shhh. Come inside.

0:31:340:31:36

-Who is he?

-Calm down. OK?

0:31:390:31:42

It's my problem. You offered to help. It's nothing to do with your investigation.

0:31:420:31:46

-How did you get me into this?

-You offered to help me when you saw what he did to my face.

0:31:460:31:49

-How do I know he did that?

-I came straight to you afterwards.

0:31:490:31:52

I showed you what he did and I asked you to help me.

0:31:520:31:55

-Oh, and I just take your word?

-Yeah.

0:31:550:31:58

Something doesn't feel right.

0:31:580:32:00

I think someone's fucking with me,

0:32:000:32:02

-trying to get me to kill the wrong guy.

-Did you?

0:32:020:32:04

-What?

-Kill him?

-Of course not!

0:32:040:32:06

Hey. Sit down, OK? Sit.

0:32:060:32:10

This has nothing to do with you.

0:32:100:32:13

You helped me out and I'm grateful.

0:32:130:32:16

You have to burn them.

0:32:160:32:17

Leonard, you decided to help me. Trust your own judgment.

0:32:210:32:25

You can question everything, you can never know anything for sure.

0:32:250:32:28

There are things you know for sure.

0:32:280:32:29

Such as?

0:32:290:32:31

I know what that's gonna sound like when I knock on it. HE TAPS TABLE

0:32:320:32:35

I know what that's gonna feel like when I pick it up. See?

0:32:350:32:38

Certainties. It's the kind of memory you take for granted.

0:32:380:32:41

You know, I can remember so much.

0:32:420:32:45

The feel of the world...

0:32:470:32:49

and her.

0:32:490:32:50

She's gone.

0:32:570:32:58

And the present is trivia, which I scribble down as fucking notes.

0:32:580:33:02

Hey, come on. Try and relax. Come on.

0:33:020:33:05

-It's not easy for me to relax.

-Shhh. Shhh.

0:33:050:33:08

Come on, take your jacket off.

0:33:080:33:10

-SOFTLY:

-Here. Come on.

0:33:100:33:12

-SOFTLY:

-Hey.

0:33:140:33:16

Didn't think you were the type.

0:33:170:33:19

It's backwards.

0:33:270:33:28

Come here. Come here.

0:33:300:33:32

What about here?

0:33:530:33:55

Maybe it's...for when I find him.

0:33:570:33:59

I've lost somebody too.

0:34:010:34:03

I'm sorry.

0:34:060:34:07

His name was Jimmy.

0:34:070:34:09

What happened to him?

0:34:090:34:11

He went to meet somebody. He never came back.

0:34:110:34:14

Who did he go to meet?

0:34:150:34:16

Guy called Teddy.

0:34:160:34:18

What do the police think?

0:34:200:34:21

They don't look too hard for guys like Jimmy.

0:34:210:34:24

When you find this guy, this...

0:34:260:34:28

John G, what are you gonna do?

0:34:280:34:32

I'm gonna kill him.

0:34:340:34:35

Maybe I can help you find him.

0:34:370:34:39

I don't even know how long she's been gone.

0:34:440:34:47

It's like I've woken up in bed and she's not here...

0:34:510:34:54

..because she's gone to the bathroom or something.

0:34:560:34:58

But somehow I just...

0:35:030:35:04

I just know she's never gonna come back to bed.

0:35:060:35:09

If I could just...

0:35:140:35:16

reach over and touch her side of the bed...

0:35:160:35:19

..I would know that it was cold.

0:35:210:35:23

But I can't.

0:35:260:35:27

I know I can't have her back.

0:35:320:35:34

But I don't want to wake up in the morning thinking she's still here.

0:35:350:35:39

I lie here not knowing how long I've been alone.

0:35:410:35:44

So how...

0:35:500:35:52

How can I heal?

0:35:530:35:55

How am I supposed to heal if I can't...

0:35:570:36:00

..feel time?

0:36:010:36:02

"She has also lost someone. She will help you out of pity."

0:37:130:37:17

They kept testing Sammy for months.

0:37:410:37:44

Always with the same objects carrying the electrical charge.

0:37:440:37:47

-BUZZING

-Ow! What the fuck?

0:37:470:37:49

-It's a test, Sammy.

-Test this, you fucking quack!

0:37:490:37:51

Even with total short-term memory loss,

0:37:510:37:53

'Sammy should have learned to stop picking up the wrong objects.

0:37:530:37:57

'All the previous cases responded to conditioning,

0:37:570:37:59

'Sammy didn't respond at all.

0:37:590:38:01

'It suggested that his condition was psychological, not physical.'

0:38:010:38:04

We turned down his claim on the grounds

0:38:040:38:06

that he wasn't covered for mental illness.

0:38:060:38:08

His wife got stuck with the bills and I got a big promotion.

0:38:080:38:11

Conditioning didn't work for Sammy, so he became helpless.

0:38:130:38:16

But it works for me.

0:38:160:38:18

I live the way Sammy couldn't.

0:38:190:38:21

Habit and routine make my life possible.

0:38:210:38:23

-Because the maid's gonna walk in.

She'll see him, call the cops. He can ID us.

OK. We untie him, we clean him up...

0:41:310:41:33

and we march him out of here with a gun in his back.

0:41:330:41:36

A gun. Why would I have a gun?

0:41:360:41:37

It must be his. I don't think they'd let someone like me carry a gun.

0:41:390:41:42

Fucking hope not.

0:41:440:41:45

Which one?

0:41:520:41:53

We should probably steal his car. You know, teach him a lesson.

0:41:560:41:59

-Shut up!

-It's all right for you, you've got a Jag.

0:41:590:42:02

All right, get in. I'm gonna ride with him, you follow us.

0:42:020:42:05

Give me your keys.

0:42:050:42:06

Take your own car.

0:42:060:42:08

So, was he scared?

0:42:350:42:37

Yeah, I think it was your sinister moustache.

0:42:370:42:39

Fuck you. Should have stolen his car.

0:42:390:42:41

Why? What's wrong with this one?

0:42:410:42:43

Nothing. You want to trade?

0:42:430:42:45

So what do you do now?

0:42:480:42:50

I'm gonna find out what the fuck that was all about.

0:42:500:42:53

KNOCK ON DOOR

0:42:560:42:58

Natalie, right? Who the fuck is Dodd?

0:42:590:43:02

Sammy's wife was crippled by the cost of supporting him,

0:43:030:43:07

and fighting the company's decision.

0:43:070:43:09

But it wasn't the money that got to her.

0:43:100:43:13

'I never said that Sammy was faking.'

0:43:130:43:15

Sammy, I have an idea.

0:43:150:43:17

'Just that his problem was mental, not physical.'

0:43:170:43:20

You're gonna have a pen in your pocket.

0:43:200:43:23

'She couldn't understand.'

0:43:230:43:25

-I did something wrong?

-You something wrong.

0:43:250:43:28

Now, we're gonna deal with it. We're gonna try a little harder.

0:43:280:43:31

'She looks into his eyes and sees the same person,

0:43:310:43:33

'and if it's not a physical problem, he should snap out of it.'

0:43:330:43:37

-Ellen called!

-Ellen called.

0:43:370:43:38

Ellen called. Ellen... Ellen can't come today!

0:43:380:43:41

-Ellen can't come!

-I'm so sorry! I'm sorry!

0:43:410:43:43

-I'm trying! I'm sorry!

-SHE SOBS

0:43:430:43:46

So Leonard Shelby from the insurance company gives her the seed of doubt,

0:43:490:43:53

just like he gave it to the doctors.

0:43:530:43:56

But I never said that he was faking.

0:43:560:43:58

I never said that.

0:43:580:44:00

'Hm. I don't FEEL drunk.'

I'm at the Mount Crest Inn on 5th Street, room six.

0:46:270:46:29

I need you to come over as soon as you get this. It's important.

0:46:290:46:32

Oh, this is Leonard. Thanks. Bye.

0:46:320:46:34

Phew!

0:46:360:46:38

Fuck.

0:46:380:46:39

Mrs Jankis didn't see that you can't bully someone into remembering.

0:46:480:46:53

The more pressure you're under, the harder it gets.

0:46:530:46:56

Ah. Well, then, call me back?

Ouch! Cut it out.

0:52:410:52:43

How can you read that again?

0:53:130:53:15

It's good.

0:53:150:53:16

Yeah, but you've read it like 1,000 times.

0:53:160:53:19

I enjoy it.

0:53:190:53:20

I thought the pleasure of a book

0:53:200:53:22

was in wanting to know what happens next.

0:53:220:53:24

Don't be a prick. I'm not reading it to annoy you. I enjoy it.

0:53:240:53:28

Just let me read. Please?

0:53:290:53:32

'Probably tried this before.'

0:53:420:53:44

'Probably burned truckloads of your stuff.'

0:53:460:53:49

'Can't remember to forget you.'

0:53:520:53:53

Yeah. Uh-huh.

0:54:120:54:14

Well, sir, that'd be in keeping with some of my own discoveries.

0:54:160:54:19

I was hoping for more on the drugs angle. Will you hang on a sec?

0:54:190:54:22

The police report mentioned the drugs found in the car

0:54:300:54:33

outside my house.

0:54:330:54:34

The car was stolen but his prints were all over it.

0:54:340:54:36

Friends in the department gave me a copy.

0:54:360:54:38

I dealt with the police a lot in my insurance job.

0:54:380:54:41

With my condition, it's really tough.

0:54:410:54:43

I can't...keep it all in mind at once.

0:54:430:54:46

I have to summarise the sections.

0:54:460:54:47

There's pages missing. I guess I've been trying to log them all.

0:54:470:54:50

I don't know why these are crossed out.

0:54:500:54:53

They weren't even looking for John G.

0:54:530:54:55

The stuff they found in the car

0:54:550:54:56

fitted what they believed had happened, so they didn't chase it up.

0:54:560:55:00

DOOR CLOSES

0:55:010:55:03

Everything OK?

0:56:000:56:02

MUFFLED CRY

0:56:020:56:04

HE TAPS ON DOOR

0:56:130:56:15

MUFFLED CRY

0:56:180:56:19

You OK in there?

0:56:190:56:20

Was it good for you?

0:56:240:56:26

SHE LAUGHS SOFTLY

0:56:260:56:28

What? Was I supposed to lock the door?

0:56:280:56:30

SOFTLY: No.

0:56:320:56:33

I'd like you to leave now.

0:56:350:56:37

There's something about the drugs

0:56:560:56:58

stashed in the car that doesn't ring true.

0:56:580:57:00

The police say the guy was an addict

0:57:000:57:02

needing money to score. It's bullshit.

0:57:020:57:04

He's not gonna break into places

0:57:040:57:06

while he's still got a stash that big.

0:57:060:57:08

Well, I think John G left it there. Or planted it there.

0:57:080:57:11

How do you know that?

0:57:120:57:14

Oh, shit, that's true. It fits.

0:57:160:57:18

So he's a dealer?

0:57:180:57:20

Hang on a sec.

0:57:200:57:22

Now we're getting somewhere.

0:57:320:57:35

'Discount Inn.'

0:57:350:57:36

Yeah, OK. Blonde's fine.

0:58:280:58:30

Well, that's what they say.

0:58:310:58:34

The Discount Inn. 304.

0:58:340:58:37

Leonard.

0:58:370:58:38

Well, what then?

0:58:400:58:41

We just go to bed. You wait for me to fall asleep.

0:58:410:58:44

You go into the bathroom and slam the door.

0:58:440:58:46

-Slam it?

-Yeah. Loud enough to wake me up.

0:58:460:58:49

-And that's it?

-That's it.

0:58:490:58:51

Ah...

0:58:510:58:52

Yeah, first, I just need you to put these things around the room.

0:58:520:58:56

Pretend they're your things and this is your bedroom.

0:58:590:59:02

-Should I wear it?

-No, no, no. Uh, just like you took it off.

0:59:140:59:17

I don't want you to use it. I'm sorry.

0:59:210:59:24

I just mean put them around the room,

0:59:250:59:27

as if they were your... Your things.

0:59:270:59:29

Whatever gets you off.

0:59:340:59:35

DOOR SLAMS

0:59:550:59:56

I can't blame the cops for not taking me seriously.

0:59:591:00:02

This is a difficult condition to understand. Look at Sammy Jankis.

1:00:021:00:05

His own wife couldn't deal with it.

1:00:051:00:07

I told you how she tried to get him to snap out of it.

1:00:071:00:10

She came to see me, I found out all kinds of shit.

1:00:101:00:12

'She told me about life with Sammy. How she treated him.'

1:00:121:00:15

Thank you for seeing me.

1:00:151:00:17

She'd get Sammy to hide food around the house,

1:00:171:00:19

then she'd stop feeding him to see

1:00:191:00:21

if his hunger would make him remember.

1:00:211:00:22

I've taken him to a parking lot and, um...

1:00:221:00:25

'She wasn't a cruel person. She just wanted her old Sammy back.'

1:00:251:00:29

You know all about Sammy and you've decided he's faking.

1:00:291:00:32

The company's position isn't that Sammy's faking anything,

1:00:321:00:35

just that his condition can't be shown to be...

1:00:351:00:37

I just want to know your honest opinion about Sammy.

1:00:371:00:40

We shouldn't talk like this while the case is still open to appeal.

1:00:401:00:43

I'm not appealing the decision.

1:00:431:00:44

Then why are you here?

1:00:441:00:46

Try to understand, when I look at Sammy,

1:00:461:00:48

I don't see some...vegetable.

1:00:481:00:52

I see my same old Sammy.

1:00:521:00:53

What do you think that's like for me,

1:00:551:00:57

to suspect that he might be imagining this whole problem?

1:00:571:01:00

That if I just could say the right thing he'd snap out of it

1:01:001:01:03

and go back to being normal.

1:01:031:01:05

If I...

1:01:061:01:07

If I knew that my old Sammy were truly gone...

1:01:101:01:13

then I could say goodbye and start loving this new Sammy.

1:01:131:01:18

As long as I have doubt, I can't say goodbye and move on.

1:01:201:01:23

What do you want from me?

1:01:231:01:24

I want you to forget the company you work for for 30 seconds

1:01:241:01:27

and tell me if you really believe that Sammy's faking his condition.

1:01:271:01:31

I need to know...

1:01:321:01:34

what you honestly believe.

1:01:341:01:36

I believe Sammy should be physically capable of making new memories.

1:01:411:01:45

Thank you.

1:01:521:01:54

'I thought I helped her.'

1:01:561:01:57

I thought she just needed an answer.

1:01:571:01:59

I didn't think it was important what it was,

1:01:591:02:01

just that she had one to believe.

1:02:011:02:03

A car this nice you should lock.

1:02:181:02:20

-Who the fuck are you?!

-Teddy, your buddy.

1:02:201:02:22

Prove it!

1:02:221:02:23

Remember Sammy? You told me about Sammy!

1:02:231:02:26

-Jeez!

-What the fuck are you doing in my car?

1:02:281:02:31

Did your sense of humour go with the memory? D'you know why you're here?

1:02:311:02:35

Unfinished business.

1:02:351:02:36

Lenny, let me inform you, your business here is very much finished.

1:02:361:02:41

-You're still here because of Natalie.

-Who's Natalie?

1:02:411:02:44

Schmuck! Whose house do you think you just walked out of?

1:02:441:02:47

That's right, take a look at your pictures - I bet you got one of her.

1:02:491:02:53

Oh, nice shot, Leibovitz(!)

1:02:531:02:57

You'll want to make a note. You can't trust her.

1:02:571:03:00

Why's that?

1:03:001:03:02

Because by now she's taken a look at the suit and the car

1:03:021:03:05

and she's figuring out ways to turn the situation to her advantage.

1:03:051:03:09

She's already got you staying with her for Christ sakes.

1:03:091:03:12

You can't go back in there.

1:03:121:03:14

Let me give you the name of a motel.

1:03:141:03:16

You're lucky I ran into you. That broad's bad news.

1:03:161:03:18

What do you mean "bad news"?

1:03:181:03:20

She's involved with drugs.

1:03:201:03:22

Look. See these?

1:03:221:03:24

This is the bar where she works. Her boyfriend's a drug dealer.

1:03:241:03:28

She takes orders for him, arranges meets.

1:03:281:03:31

He writes messages on the back of these,

1:03:311:03:33

then she slips him the answers when she serves him.

1:03:331:03:36

-Why should I care?

-Because when she gets jammed up,

1:03:361:03:40

she'll use you to protect herself.

1:03:401:03:42

From who?

1:03:421:03:44

Guys are gonna wanna know what happened to her boyfriend.

1:03:441:03:47

Guys are gonna come after her.

1:03:471:03:49

Somebody's got to pay, Lenny. Somebody always pays.

1:03:491:03:51

Maybe she'll make it you.

1:03:511:03:53

Oh, yeah? Well, maybe she'll make it you. Is that it?

1:03:531:03:56

You worried she's gonna use me against you?

1:03:561:03:59

-No.

-Why not?

1:03:591:04:01

Because she doesn't know who I am.

1:04:011:04:04

Why are you following me?

1:04:041:04:06

Maybe I wanna help.

1:04:061:04:07

She doesn't know anything about your investigation. OK, Einstein?

1:04:071:04:11

So write this down.

1:04:111:04:13

When she offers to help, it'll be for her own reasons.

1:04:131:04:18

I'm not lying. Take my pen, write this down.

1:04:181:04:23

Do not trust her.

1:04:231:04:25

There. You happy now?

1:04:321:04:34

-I won't be happy until you leave town.

-Why not?

1:04:341:04:37

You ever wonder how long you can hang around

1:04:371:04:39

before people start asking questions?

1:04:391:04:41

What sort of questions?

1:04:411:04:42

The sort you should be asking yourself.

1:04:421:04:44

-Like what?

-Like how did you get this suit, the car?

1:04:441:04:47

-I have money.

-From what?

1:04:471:04:48

My wife's death. I used to work in insurance. We were well covered.

1:04:481:04:51

Oh!

1:04:511:04:53

So in your grief you wandered into a Jaguar dealership?

1:04:531:04:57

You don't have a clue, do you? You don't even know who you are.

1:04:591:05:03

Yes, I do.

1:05:031:05:04

I don't have amnesia. I remember everything right up to the incident.

1:05:041:05:07

I am Leonard Shelby, I am from San Francisco...

1:05:071:05:10

That's who you WERE.

1:05:101:05:11

You do not know who you ARE. What you've become since...

1:05:111:05:15

..the incident.

1:05:161:05:17

You wander around playing detective.

1:05:171:05:19

You don't even know how long ago it was.

1:05:191:05:22

Let me put it this way...

1:05:241:05:25

Were you wearing designer suits when you sold insurance?

1:05:251:05:28

I didn't sell insurance, I investigated.

1:05:281:05:30

Right, right. You're an investigator.

1:05:301:05:32

Maybe you should investigate yourself.

1:05:321:05:35

Oh, thank you for the advice.

1:05:351:05:37

Look, do me a favour, don't go back in there.

1:05:391:05:42

Will you take the motel out of town?

1:05:421:05:44

It's been fun, Lenny.

1:05:481:05:49

"Do not trust her."

1:05:571:05:58

"Don't believe his lies."

1:06:001:06:02

Oh, fuck it, I need my own place.

1:06:181:06:20

No. She shouldn't have given me that responsibility.

1:06:241:06:27

I'm a claims investigator, not a doctor.

1:06:271:06:29

Yeah, yeah, I guess.

1:06:311:06:33

I've got all sorts of other considerations.

1:06:331:06:36

Legal responsibility, large finance...

1:06:361:06:38

Who is this?

1:06:431:06:44

LINE GOES DEAD

1:06:441:06:46

Write this down. Write down what happened.

1:06:561:06:58

Write it down. Come on, concentrate. Keep it in mind. Find a p...

1:06:581:07:02

What happened?

1:07:081:07:09

What does it look like? He beat the shit out of me.

1:07:091:07:11

-Who?

-"Who"?

1:07:111:07:13

Fuck, Leonard, Dodd! Dodd beat the shit out of me.

1:07:131:07:16

Why?

1:07:161:07:17

Because of you! Because I did what you told me to do, reason with him,

1:07:171:07:20

tell him about Teddy. Great fucking idea(!)

1:07:201:07:22

Calm down. Calm down, take it easy. You're safe. It's OK.

1:07:221:07:26

Come on. Just sit down. Sit down.

1:07:271:07:30

Here, sit down.

1:07:311:07:33

OK. You're OK.

1:07:341:07:36

I'll just get some ice for your face.

1:07:361:07:38

Here.

1:07:461:07:48

I did exactly what you told me to do.

1:07:531:07:55

I went to Dodd...

1:07:571:07:58

..and I told him that I didn't have any of Jimmy's money

1:07:591:08:03

or the drugs.

1:08:031:08:05

And that this Teddy must have taken everything.

1:08:061:08:10

And what did he say?

1:08:101:08:12

He didn't believe me.

1:08:131:08:14

He said if I don't have the drugs by tomorrow, he's gonna kill me.

1:08:171:08:20

And then he just... He just started hitting me.

1:08:201:08:23

Where is he?

1:08:251:08:27

Why?

1:08:271:08:28

I'll go see him.

1:08:281:08:30

-And?

-I'll give him some bruises of his own

1:08:301:08:32

and tell him to look for a guy called Teddy.

1:08:321:08:34

Oh, he'll kill you, Lenny.

1:08:341:08:36

My wife used to call me Lenny.

1:08:381:08:40

Yeah?

1:08:401:08:41

Yeah, I hated it.

1:08:431:08:44

Oh, this guy is so dangerous.

1:08:461:08:47

Let's just think of something else, OK?

1:08:471:08:50

No, no, no. You just tell me what he looks like.

1:08:501:08:54

And where I can find him. Have you got a pen?

1:08:541:08:57

In my purse.

1:08:571:08:59

He'll, um... He'll probably find YOU.

1:09:081:09:11

What do you mean?

1:09:111:09:12

I told him about your car.

1:09:121:09:14

Why?

1:09:141:09:16

He was beating the shit out of me, I had to tell him something.

1:09:171:09:20

Just write it all down.

1:09:221:09:24

Be careful.

1:09:381:09:40

I'll be fine.

-Who?

-Calls himself Dodd.

1:10:281:10:31

What does he want?

1:10:311:10:32

To know what happened to Jimmy and his money. He thinks I took it.

1:10:321:10:35

Did you?

1:10:351:10:37

No.

1:10:371:10:38

-What's this all about?

-Argh!

1:10:421:10:44

You don't have a fucking clue, do you?

1:10:441:10:46

You're just blissfully ignorant.

1:10:461:10:48

Look, I have this condition.

1:10:481:10:49

I know all about your fucking condition.

1:10:491:10:51

I probably know more about it than you do. You don't have a fucking clue about anything else.

1:10:511:10:55

-What happened?

-Jimmy went to meet a guy named Teddy.

1:10:551:10:58

He took a lot of money with him and never came back.

1:10:581:11:01

Jimmy's partners think I set him up.

1:11:011:11:03

-I don't know if you know this Teddy or how well.

-Neither do I.

1:11:031:11:06

-Don't protect him!

-I'm not.

-Help me.

1:11:061:11:08

How?

1:11:081:11:09

Get rid of Dodd for me.

1:11:091:11:10

-What?

-Kill him. I'll pay you.

1:11:101:11:13

What do you think I am?

1:11:131:11:14

I'm not gonna kill someone for money.

1:11:141:11:16

What, then? Love? What would you kill for?

1:11:161:11:19

-You'd kill for your wife, wouldn't you?

-That's different.

1:11:191:11:22

Not to me, I wasn't fucking married to her!

1:11:221:11:24

Hey, don't talk about my wife.

1:11:241:11:26

I can talk about whoever the fuck I want!

1:11:261:11:28

I can say whatever I want and you won't remember!

1:11:281:11:30

I can call your wife a fucking whore and we'll still be friends.

1:11:301:11:33

-Calm down.

-Easy for you to say.

1:11:331:11:34

You can't GET scared! You don't know how, you fucking idiot!

1:11:341:11:37

This has nothing to do with me.

1:11:371:11:39

How the fuck would you know? You don't know a fucking thing!

1:11:391:11:42

-You can't get scared, but, hey, can you get angry?

-Yes.

1:11:431:11:46

You pathetic piece of shit!

1:11:461:11:48

I can say whatever the fuck I want

1:11:481:11:50

and you won't have a fucking clue, you fucking retard!

1:11:501:11:53

-Shut your mouth.

-You know what? I'm gonna use you.

1:11:531:11:55

I'm telling you now because I'll enjoy it much more

1:11:551:11:57

if I know that you could stop me if you weren't such a fucking freak.

1:11:571:12:01

Did you lose your pen? Too bad, freak.

1:12:011:12:04

Otherwise you could write yourself a note

1:12:041:12:06

about how much Natalie hates your retarded guts

1:12:061:12:08

and that I called your wife a fucking whore!

1:12:081:12:10

-Don't say another fucking word!

-About your whore of a wife?

1:12:101:12:13

I read about your condition, Leonard.

1:12:161:12:18

You know one of the causes of short-term memory loss?

1:12:181:12:22

Venereal disease.

1:12:221:12:23

Maybe your cunt of a fucking wife sucked one too many diseased cocks

1:12:231:12:27

and turned you into a fucking retard!

1:12:271:12:29

-SOFTLY:

-You sad, sad freak.

1:12:311:12:34

I can say whatever the fuck I want and you won't remember.

1:12:361:12:39

We'll still be best friends.

1:12:411:12:43

Or maybe even lovers.

1:12:451:12:47

Fuck!

Yeah?

I know you said you didn't want any calls, but this guy says he's a cop.

1:14:181:14:22

-A cop?

-Yeah.

1:14:221:14:24

He says you're really gonna wanna know what he has to say.

1:14:241:14:27

I'm not too good on the phone. I need to look people in the eye.

1:14:271:14:30

Well, what...?

1:14:301:14:32

You can... You can crash on the couch.

1:14:361:14:38

It's comfortable. Just have a seat.

1:14:381:14:41

Thanks.

1:14:411:14:43

So, how long do you think it's gonna take you?

1:14:471:14:50

Hm?

1:14:501:14:52

You told me you were looking for the guy who killed your wife.

1:14:521:14:55

Oh, it depends on if he's here in town or if he's moved on.

1:14:551:14:59

I have my...file here.

1:14:591:15:01

Can I ask you something?

1:15:041:15:05

If you have all that information,

1:15:051:15:08

why haven't the police found him for you?

1:15:081:15:11

-They're not looking for him.

-Why not?

-They don't think he exists.

1:15:111:15:15

You see, I told them what I remembered.

It's the last thing I do remember.

1:16:321:16:34

Look, the police didn't believe me. If we check...

1:16:341:16:36

How did they explain what you do remember? The gun and stuff?

1:16:361:16:40

John G was clever.

1:16:431:16:45

He was clever.

1:16:451:16:47

He took the dead man's gun

1:16:471:16:49

and replaced it with the sap that he hit me with.

1:16:491:16:52

He left my gun and the getaway car, gave the police a complete package.

1:16:521:16:56

They found the sap with my blood on it in the dead man's hand.

1:16:561:17:00

And they only found my gun.

1:17:001:17:03

They didn't need to look for anybody else.

1:17:031:17:05

I was the only guy who disagreed with the facts

1:17:061:17:08

and I had brain damage.

1:17:081:17:10

The cops are not gonna believe someone in my con...

1:17:101:17:12

Leonard. You can stay here for a couple of days if it will help you.

1:17:121:17:15

Oh, thanks.

1:17:171:17:19

I have to go back to work, so, um, just make yourself at home.

Your condition.

1:19:161:19:19

1:19:191:19:21

that you do remember?

-My wife.

-That's sweet.

1:19:261:19:28

Let me, um, get you another one. I think this one's dusty.

1:19:371:19:41

Why are you calling me? What do you want?

1:19:451:19:48

I know you're a cop. What do you want? Have I done something wrong?

1:19:481:19:51

I don't know, something bad, maybe.

1:19:511:19:53

Look, why are you asking me? I can't remember what I've done.

1:19:551:19:58

You wouldn't believe me anyway.

1:19:581:19:59

Because of my condition. You don't believe someone with this.

1:19:591:20:03

Nobody believed Sammy! I didn't even fucking believe Sammy!

"Ferdy's Bar."

-A beer, please.

1:20:271:20:30

You can't waltz in dressed like that and ask for a beer.

1:20:301:20:33

-Is there a dress code?

-Why are you here?

1:20:331:20:35

I'm meeting someone called Natalie.

1:20:351:20:36

Well, that's me.

1:20:361:20:38

Yeah, we met before, right?

1:20:381:20:40

-Then why am I here?

-I don't know, why don't you tell me?

1:20:411:20:43

I don't remember. I have no short-term memory.

1:20:431:20:46

Oh, you're the memory guy.

1:20:461:20:47

How do you know about me?

1:20:471:20:49

My boyfriend told me about you.

1:20:491:20:51

Oh, yeah? Who's your boyfriend?

1:20:511:20:53

Jimmy Grants. Do you know him?

1:20:531:20:55

No.

1:20:561:20:57

He knows you. He told me about you.

1:20:571:21:00

He said you were staying at the Discount.

1:21:001:21:03

In fact, a cop came by earlier and was looking for you.

1:21:031:21:06

Said he was looking for a guy who can't remember anything,

1:21:061:21:08

wouldn't know how he'd got here.

1:21:081:21:10

I said, "I get a lot of guys like that."

1:21:101:21:12

Chronic alcoholism is one cause of short-term memory loss.

1:21:121:21:16

Are you Teddy?

1:21:181:21:19

No, my name's Leonard.

1:21:191:21:21

-I don't know.

What's happened to Jimmy?

I don't know that, either. Sorry.

You don't remember anything,

1:21:281:21:29

where you've been or what you've just done?

1:21:291:21:33

I can't make new memories. Everything just fades.

1:21:331:21:36

Then why did you come here?

1:21:361:21:38

I found this in my pocket.

MAN AT BAR LAUGHS

1:22:491:22:50

It's completely fucked because nobody believes you.

1:22:521:22:56

It's amazing what a little brain damage will do for your credibility.

1:22:561:22:59

I guess it's poetic justice for not believing Sammy.

1:22:591:23:02

You know the truth about my condition, officer?

1:23:021:23:05

You don't know anything.

1:23:051:23:06

You feel angry, you don't know why.

1:23:061:23:08

You feel guilty, you have no idea why.

1:23:081:23:11

You could do anything and not have the faintest idea ten minutes later.

1:23:111:23:15

Like Sammy. What if I'd done something like Sammy?

1:23:151:23:18

I didn't tell you? What happened to Sammy and his wife?

1:23:181:23:21

She came to see me at my office.

1:23:211:23:24

'I thought she was trying to catch me off guard,

1:23:241:23:26

'so I didn't say what I really thought, but I never said he was faking,

1:23:261:23:29

'just that his condition was mental, not physical.

1:23:291:23:31

'I found out later she went home and gave Sammy his final exam.'

1:23:311:23:33

Sammy? It's time for my shot.

1:23:351:23:38

'She knew beyond a doubt that he loved her,

1:23:531:23:55

'so she found a way to test him.'

1:23:551:23:58

Sammy?

1:24:101:24:11

It's time for my shot.

1:24:121:24:14

Hm.

1:24:141:24:15

'She really thought she'd call his bluff.'

1:24:231:24:25

There you go.

1:24:251:24:27

'Or she just didn't want to live with the things she'd put him through.'

1:24:271:24:30

Sammy?

1:24:401:24:42

It's time for my shot.

1:24:431:24:45

It won't hurt.

1:24:511:24:53

'She went into a coma and never recovered.

1:25:351:25:37

'Sammy couldn't understand or explain what happened.'

1:25:371:25:41

Oh!

1:25:411:25:42

He's been in a home ever since.

1:25:421:25:44

'He doesn't even know his wife is dead.'

1:25:441:25:46

I was wrong about Sammy and I was wrong about his wife.

1:25:471:25:51

She wasn't interested in the money.

1:25:511:25:53

She needed to understand his problem.

1:25:531:25:55

'His brain didn't respond to conditioning, but he was no conman.

1:25:551:25:58

'When she looked into his eyes, she thought he could be the same person.'

1:25:581:26:01

'When I looked into his eyes, I thought I saw recognition.'

1:26:011:26:04

Now I know you fake it.

1:26:041:26:06

If you think you're supposed to recognise somebody, you pretend to.

1:26:061:26:09

'You bluff it to get a pat on the head from the doctors.'

1:26:091:26:12

You bluff it to seem less of a freak.

1:26:121:26:15

What drug dealer?

1:26:171:26:19

TYRES SQUEAL

1:26:191:26:22

-Hey, Lenny, how are you doing?

-It's private back here.

1:26:441:26:47

It's OK, we know each other.

1:26:471:26:48

How did you know I was in here?

1:26:481:26:49

The Jag's out front. Should've put her round back.

1:26:491:26:52

Why are you still here, Lenny? Plenty of tattoo parlours up north.

1:26:521:26:55

I guess I wanted to get something down before it slipped my mind.

1:26:551:26:58

-Give me the keys, I'll move it.

-It'll be OK.

1:26:581:27:00

-Wait out there.

-Oh, for Christ...

1:27:001:27:02

Give me a minute, I've got to get something for you.

1:27:021:27:04

'Fact six: Car licence SG13 7IU.'

1:27:081:27:12

Look, wait a minute, will ya?

1:27:181:27:21

-We've got to get you out of here.

-Why?

1:27:231:27:26

Come on, Leonard, how many times I gotta tell you?

1:27:261:27:29

-It's not safe for you to hang around here any more.

-Why not?

1:27:291:27:31

Because that cop's looking for you. I gotta get you a new identity,

1:27:311:27:34

new clothes... A different car would do for now. Put these on.

1:27:341:27:38

Whoa, whoa. What cop?

1:27:381:27:40

He's a bad cop. He's the one that checked you into the Discount Inn.

1:27:401:27:43

He's been calling you for days, telling you shit,

1:27:431:27:45

slipping envelopes under your door, shit like that.

1:27:451:27:47

-How do you know this?

-He told me.

1:27:471:27:49

He thinks it's funny. He's been laughing at you.

1:27:491:27:51

-You're full of shit.

-No, I'm not.

1:27:511:27:53

He knows you're no good on the phone so he calls.

1:27:531:27:55

Sometimes you don't answer,

1:27:551:27:56

so he slips shit under your door to scare you into answering it...

1:27:561:27:59

giving you a line of crap about John G being a local drug dealer.

1:27:591:28:02

Jimmy Grants.

1:28:021:28:04

-Who's Jimmy Grants?

-Leonard, Jimmy's the drug dealer.

1:28:041:28:07

The cop wants to know about his operation. He's got a score in mind.

1:28:071:28:10

-Somehow you're involved.

-How do you know him?

1:28:101:28:14

I'm a snitch.

1:28:141:28:15

He's a cop from out of town. The local boys put us together.

1:28:151:28:19

If he knew I was helping you, he'd fucking kill me.

1:28:191:28:21

So take these clothes, put them on and get the fuck out of here.

1:28:211:28:25

Come on, Leonard, just go.

1:28:251:28:27

You are full of shit.

1:28:471:28:48

"Come by after. Natalie."

1:28:511:28:53

'Ferdy's Bar.'

KNOCKS ON WINDOW

1:29:341:29:35

Hey, Jimmy.

1:29:351:29:37

I'm sorry, I, uh, thought you were somebody else.

1:29:391:29:42

Sorry.

1:29:421:29:45

That's OK.

1:29:451:29:46

This Jimmy Grants deals drugs out of the bar his girlfriend works in?

1:29:591:30:03

But he's not going to bring her along? He'll come by himself, right?

1:30:031:30:07

I always figured the drugs angle would be the best way to get him.

1:30:071:30:11

No, officer. I'm as ready as I'll ever be.

1:30:111:30:14

You're in the lobby? What do you look like?

1:30:141:30:17

I'll be right there.

1:30:191:30:20

Lenny!

1:31:011:31:02

Officer Gammell?

1:31:051:31:06

Yeah. Come on.

1:31:091:31:11

-Hey, smile.

-Oh, don't, uh... Not here.

1:31:271:31:30

Over here.

1:31:301:31:32

Is it Officer or Lieutenant Gammell?

1:31:371:31:40

You know what? Don't write Gammell, just Teddy.

1:31:401:31:43

-Why?

-I'm undercover.

1:31:431:31:45

This is the directions, where he's going.

1:31:481:31:50

-My number's on the bottom if you...

-You're not coming?

1:31:501:31:53

Nah, it wouldn't be appropriate.

1:31:531:31:55

Nice picture. I look thin.

1:31:591:32:02

Hey, Lenny!

1:32:061:32:08

Make him beg.

1:32:081:32:09

Teddy!

1:33:281:33:30

Hey, Teddy!

1:33:321:33:34

Teddy!

1:33:371:33:38

Jimmy.

1:33:411:33:42

-What the fuck are you doing here?

-Are you Jimmy Grants?

1:33:441:33:46

Expect any other Jimmys out here, memory man?

1:33:461:33:49

Do you remember me?

1:33:491:33:51

Yeah, I remember you. Where the fuck's Teddy?

1:33:511:33:55

Well?

1:33:551:33:56

Motherfuck...!

1:33:591:34:01

What are you doing?!

1:34:011:34:03

Strip.

1:34:041:34:06

You're making a big fucking mistake!

1:34:061:34:07

Strip!

1:34:071:34:10

My associates are not the kind of people you wanna piss off.

1:34:101:34:13

Don't say anything else.

1:34:131:34:14

I knew I couldn't trust that fuck!

1:34:141:34:16

Take it off.

1:34:161:34:17

Your pants, too.

1:34:221:34:25

-Why?

-I don't wanna get blood on them.

1:34:251:34:27

Whoa, whoa, whoa! Wait! Did he tell you what I was bringing?

1:34:271:34:31

Take your fuckin' pants off!

1:34:311:34:32

I've got 200 grand in the car. Just take it!

1:34:321:34:36

-You think you can bargain with me?

-Just take the money and walk away.

1:34:361:34:38

-I don't want your fucking money.

-Then what?

1:34:381:34:42

What do you want from me?

1:34:421:34:44

I want my fucking life back!

1:34:441:34:46

-SOFTLY:

-Sammy.

1:36:131:36:14

'He said Sammy. How does he know about Sammy?'

1:36:201:36:22

Oh, fuck.

1:36:221:36:24

CAR PULLS UP OUTSIDE

1:36:261:36:29

'What have I done?'

1:36:441:36:45

Hey, mister! I need help!

1:36:471:36:48

There's a guy in here, he's hurt bad. We gotta get him to a doctor.

1:36:481:36:51

All right.

1:36:511:36:53

I don't know what happened. I've got this memory thing.

1:36:541:36:56

-Do I know you?

-No. Don't worry, I'm a cop.

1:36:561:36:59

-Is he still breathing?

-Well, I don't know. Maybe.

1:36:591:37:02

What the hell were you guys doing?

1:37:021:37:05

I don't remember, I have this condition.

1:37:051:37:07

I hope it's not as serious as his, cos this guy's dead.

1:37:071:37:10

Ow! Lenny! That shit kills!

1:37:101:37:13

So you remember me now, huh?

1:37:131:37:15

-You are a fucking cop!

-Yeah!

1:37:151:37:17

And I'm the guy that helped you find him.

1:37:171:37:19

Get up! Get up!

1:37:191:37:21

Lenny, you've got the wrong idea!

1:37:211:37:23

Who is that? He knew me.

1:37:261:37:28

Of course he did, he raped your wife, he fucked up your brain.

1:37:281:37:31

Bullshit! He's not the guy.

1:37:311:37:33

His name is James F Grants. John G. Check your tattoos.

1:37:331:37:36

-Why did he bring 200 grand?

-What?

1:37:361:37:39

-What was it for?

-Amphetamines I told him I had.

1:37:411:37:43

-Is this a drug deal?

-No. Yeah, that and your thing.

1:37:431:37:47

Look, Jimmy's your guy. I figured we'd make a few dollars on the side.

1:37:471:37:50

-How did he know me?

-The Discount Inn.

1:37:501:37:53

He dealt out of there.

1:37:531:37:54

The guy at the desk let him know if anybody came snooping around.

1:37:541:37:57

He called Jimmy the minute he saw you taking a picture of the dump.

1:37:571:38:00

-You're fucking using me.

-No! You get half.

1:38:001:38:02

He knew about Sammy! Why would I tell him about fucking Sammy?!

1:38:021:38:04

You tell everybody about Sammy! Everybody who'll listen!

1:38:041:38:08

"Remember Sammy Jankis? Remember Sammy Jankis?"

1:38:081:38:10

Great story, gets better every time you tell it.

1:38:101:38:14

So you lie to yourself to be happy. There's nothing wrong with that.

1:38:141:38:17

We all do it.

1:38:171:38:18

Who cares if there's a few little details you'd rather not remember?

1:38:181:38:21

What the fuck are you talking about?

1:38:231:38:24

I don't know.

1:38:241:38:26

Your wife surviving the assault, her not believing your condition.

1:38:261:38:30

The torment and pain and anguish tearing her up inside.

1:38:301:38:35

The insulin.

1:38:351:38:36

That's Sammy, not me. I told you about Sammy.

1:38:381:38:40

Yeah, right. Like you tell yourself over and over again.

1:38:401:38:43

Conditioning yourself to remember, learning through repetition.

1:38:431:38:46

Sammy let his wife kill herself. Sammy ended up in an institution.

1:38:461:38:49

Sammy was a conman. A faker.

1:38:491:38:53

I never said that Sammy was faking.

1:38:531:38:55

You exposed him for what he was. A fraud.

1:38:551:38:58

I was wrong. That's the whole point.

1:38:581:39:00

-See, Sammy's wife came to me...

-Sammy didn't have a wife.

1:39:011:39:04

It was your wife who had diabetes.

1:39:061:39:09

Ouch!

1:39:151:39:16

My wife wasn't diabetic.

1:39:191:39:21

Are you sure?

1:39:211:39:22

Ouch! Cut it out!

1:39:271:39:29

She wasn't diabetic.

1:39:291:39:31

You think I don't know my own wife? What the fuck is wrong with you?

1:39:311:39:34

I guess I can only make you remember the things you want to be true.

1:39:341:39:38

-Like old Jimmy down there.

-He's not the right guy.

1:39:381:39:40

He was to you.

1:39:401:39:42

Come on, you got your revenge. Enjoy it while you still remember.

1:39:421:39:46

What difference does it make whether he was your guy or not?

1:39:461:39:48

It makes all the difference.

1:39:481:39:50

-Why? You're never gonna know.

-Yes, I will.

-You won't.

1:39:501:39:52

-Somehow I'll know.

-You won't remember!

1:39:521:39:54

When it's done, I'll know. It'll be different

1:39:541:39:56

I thought so too, I was sure of it, but you didn't!

1:39:561:40:00

That's right. The real John G.

1:40:021:40:06

I helped you find him over a year ago.

1:40:061:40:08

He's already dead.

1:40:081:40:09

-Don't lie to me any more.

-Look, Lenny...

1:40:091:40:13

I was the cop assigned to your wife's case, I believed you.

1:40:131:40:15

I thought you deserved a chance for revenge.

1:40:151:40:18

I helped you find the other guy in your bathroom that night.

1:40:181:40:21

The guy that cracked your skull and fucked your wife.

1:40:211:40:23

We found him, you killed him.

1:40:231:40:26

But you didn't remember.

1:40:271:40:30

So I helped you start looking again, for the guy you already killed.

1:40:301:40:35

Oh, yeah? So who was he?

1:40:351:40:37

Just some guy. Does it matter who?

1:40:371:40:40

No reason, Lenny, no conspiracy, just bad fucking luck.

1:40:401:40:44

Couple of junkies too strung out to realise your wife didn't live alone.

1:40:441:40:49

But when you killed him I was so convinced that you'd remember.

1:40:491:40:54

But it didn't stick.

1:40:541:40:56

Like nothing ever sticks, like this won't stick.

1:40:561:40:59

I took that picture.

1:41:031:41:05

Just when you did it.

1:41:061:41:07

Look how happy you are.

1:41:091:41:11

I wanted to see that face again.

1:41:121:41:14

-Oh, gee, thanks(!)

-Fuck you.

1:41:141:41:17

I gave you a reason to live, and you were more than happy to help.

1:41:171:41:21

You don't want the truth.

1:41:211:41:23

You make up your own truth, like your police file.

1:41:231:41:27

It was complete when I gave it to you. Who took out the 12 pages?

1:41:271:41:30

You, probably.

1:41:301:41:31

-No, it wasn't me, see, it was you.

-Why would I do that?

1:41:311:41:34

To create a puzzle you could never solve.

1:41:341:41:36

Do you know how many towns,

1:41:361:41:38

how many John Gs or James Gs...?

1:41:381:41:40

I mean, shit, Lenny, I'm a fucking John G.

1:41:401:41:43

-Your name's Teddy.

-My mother calls me Teddy.

1:41:431:41:46

My name's John Edward Gammell.

1:41:461:41:49

Cheer up. There's plenty of John Gs for us to find.

1:41:491:41:52

All you do is moan! I'm the one that has to live with what you've done.

1:41:561:42:00

I'm the one that put it all together.

1:42:001:42:02

You, you wander around, you're playing detective.

1:42:021:42:05

You're living a dream, kid.

1:42:051:42:07

A dead wife to pine for, a sense of purpose to your life -

1:42:071:42:10

a romantic quest that you wouldn't end even if I wasn't in the picture.

1:42:101:42:14

I should kill you.

1:42:151:42:17

Quit it! Lenny, come on.

1:42:171:42:18

You're not a killer. That's why you're so good at it.

1:42:181:42:21

Come on, what are you doing?

1:42:241:42:26

You know what time it is? It's beer o'clock, I'm buying.

1:42:261:42:29

Fuck!

1:42:311:42:33

'I'm not a killer.

1:42:421:42:44

'I'm just someone who wanted to make things right.

1:42:441:42:47

'Can I just let myself forget what you've told me?

1:42:521:42:55

'Can I just let myself forget what you've made me do?

1:43:111:43:14

'You think I just want another puzzle to solve?

1:43:281:43:30

'Another John G to look for?

1:43:301:43:34

'You're a John G.

1:43:341:43:35

'So you can be my John G.

1:43:371:43:39

'Do I lie to myself to be happy?

1:43:471:43:50

'In your case, Teddy...

1:43:501:43:52

'..yes, I will.'

1:43:531:43:55

Hey! Hey, that's not your car!

1:44:071:44:09

-It is now.

-Jesus Christ, you can't take it!

1:44:091:44:13

-Why not?

-The guy you just killed owns it.

1:44:131:44:15

Somebody'll recognise it.

1:44:151:44:17

You know, I'd rather be mistaken for a dead guy than a killer.

1:44:181:44:22

I might hang on to this for a while.

1:44:221:44:26

Lenny.

1:44:261:44:27

Look, don't... Will you help me find the keys?

1:44:271:44:30

Help me find my keys!

1:44:311:44:33

Lenny!

1:44:331:44:35

Lenny!

1:44:411:44:42

'I have to believe in a world outside my own mind.'

1:44:541:44:57

'I have to believe that my actions still have meaning.

1:44:571:45:00

'Even if I can't remember them.'

1:45:001:45:03

'I have to believe that, when my eyes are closed,

1:45:031:45:06

'the world's still here.

1:45:061:45:08

'Do I believe the world's still here?

1:45:091:45:12

'Is it still out there?

1:45:141:45:16

'Yeah.

1:45:191:45:21

'We all need mirrors to remind ourselves who we are.
