I know you hear them too. I saw you talking to them. |
No. They're real people, these are real people. |
There's no such thing as real people. |
- Harry, get out of there now! - [Harry coughing] |
It's like a club, it's a club where we meet girls and they talk us through... |
- no one understands Me, either. - no. |
All night, they've been watching us and there's this one guy, |
- he's the leader. He's the leader. - We're the same. |
They're watching us. All night, they've been watching. |
They can see you. They can see me. |
No one understands what that's like. |
There are a hundred who see through me, |
standing at their government depots, |
shouting what to think. |
[Harry struggling to breathe] |
Not any more. |
- You too. - I don't want it. |
- It's a state change. - I don't want it. |
It's just a transition |
and soon, they won't be there and we'll be free. |
Please... Please... I don't want it. |
You do. |
You do. |
Shh, shh, shh, shh... |
- [Harry grunting frantically] - Shh, shh, shh. You do. |
She murdered him? |
A mercy killing, she'd say. |
- So when Did you find out about this? - Hm? |
I mean, when did you know that this had happened? |
Uh... I saw it on a newscast, I think. |
[Harry screaming, gurgling] |
Wipe and destroy everything. OK? Everything. Now go. |
[toy squeaks] |
[toy clatters and plays loud music] |
[trash clattering] |
[woman] Matthew? |
What's going on? |
What are you doing? |
So Claire... she was my wife. |
She's British, you'd like her. |
And I'm your wife, in fact. |
[Matthew] Claire found out I was involved |
and took what you might call a dim view. |
She blocked me. |
You ever been blocked? |
I've had enough. Matthew, it's done. |
- Stop it. Stop. - Not This time. |
[Matthew] It drives you crazy. |
- Why? Why? - Once they hit that button, that's it, |
you're locked out. End of conversation. You can't hear or speak to them. |
They can't hear or speak to you. |
Every time you look at them, there's just this... anonymous shape. |
It usually only lasts for what, like an hour. |
But when they leave it going, |
oh, shit. |
Price of progress, I suppose. |
[exhales deeply] We all got... |
We all got Zed-Eyes put in, right. |
Which is all fine and dandy until something like this happens |
and then it's bullshit. |
You can't even take them out. |
Packet gravy. |
How British. |
Merry Christmas. |
Now we're festive. Huh? |
To Christmas! |
Anyway, she left me, took custody of Mel, that's our daughter. |
Hence, stranding me in this lovely place. |
I didn't want to be surrounded by reminders. |
[door slams shut] |
- What? - Did you hear that? |
Hear what? |
Well, anyway, I'm glad we're talking. |
Silence can be oppressive. You think weird shit in a vacuum, huh? |
I mean, you feel better, right? Communicating? |
Talking to me, finally? |
A little bit, maybe. Yeah. |
[laughs] Man, you are a locked box. |
I mean, that's a good thing. |
Most people are too easy to read, especially if you know minds. |
Using party tricks to pick up girls isn't "knowing minds." |
The picking up girls thing was a hobby. |
My job was completely different. |
You'll never guess what that was. |
- Marketing person? - no. |
- Door-to-Door salesman? - Please. |
Proctologist? |
- You're never going to get it. - I'm not going to try. |
All right. Let's make it a game. |
I'll describe to you... |
...my day at work, and you stop me when you've guessed it. |
[man on TV] The extreme weather has hit sales hard this Christmas. |
Five inches of snow... |
[woman thinking] That's going to wreck my portfolio just when I need it. |
[sighs] |
Don't know what I'm going to do about that. |
Oh, God, more messages. I'll never clear this inbox. |
Sorry. Constant bloody admin. |
Just time for a little snack. |
I can eat before an operation? |
