Enemy (2013) Movie Script

- Ah! Ah!
- Control.
It's all about control.
Every dictatorship has
one obsession,
and that's it.
So, in ancient Rome,
they gave the people bread
and circuses.
They kept the populace busy
with entertainment.
But other dictatorships use
other... other strategies
to control ideas,
the knowledge.
How do they do that?
They lower education,
they limit culture,
censor information.
They censor any means
of individual expression.
And it's important
to remember this,
that this is a pattern
that repeats itself
throughout history.
OK.
See you next week.
- Hi.
- Hi.
- OK.
How are you?
- I'm good.
Ah.
- See, every di...
every dictatorship, uh...
There's always one obsession,
and that's control.
They want to have control
over the people.
In ancient Rome, they... they
gave, uh, bread and circuses.
They kept the populace busy
with entertainment.
In other dictatorships,
they have other strategies.
To limit information,
to limit ideas and knowledge.
And how do they do that?
They lower education,
limit culture, they censor
any means of self-expression.
But it's important
to remember this:
this is a... this is a pattern
that repeats itself
throughout history.
- You don't go
to the movies, do you?
- The movies?
- Yeah, are you
a movie guy?
In your free time,
I mean.
- I don't know. I don't...
I don't... I don't...
I don't go out that much.
I don't... I don't
really like movies.
- Oh.
- Well, you don't have to go out
to enjoy a good flick at home.
- That's true.
- I usually just rent them,
yeah. I think most people don't
these days, you know, but, uh,
well, that's what I do.
- Is there a reason
why you're asking me this?
- No. - Just 'cause you
brought it up,
and I thought, you know,
maybe you had a recommendation
or you saw a movie
that you liked and you wanted
to tell me about it, or...
- Oh, well, sure.
I mean, yeah, there's
always... always something.
I mean...
- I could go
for something cheerful.
- Hmm.
Where There's a Will,
There's a Way.
- That's true.
- No, it's a movie.
I saw it a little while ago,
but, um...
yeah, I remember,
uh, you know, it was...
I liked it.
- Mm. Where There's a Will,
There's a Way.
- Yeah, that's it.
Local film. If you...
- I'll keep it in mind.
- I think I'm drunk.
You want to go to bed?
- Hmm?
- You want to go to bed?
- No, I'm gonna finish,
um, grading these papers,
and then I'll
come join you, OK?
- Mr. Anderson,
my husband will be back-
- Your husband just won a heck of a lot
of money from me. By the look in his eye,
he didn't have an intention
to quit.
- Ow!
Stop!
Stop.
- OK, OK. OK.
What's wrong?
- Let me call you tomorrow.
- Sorry I'm late.
Uh...
All right.
Last class, we talked
about dictatorships,
so today we'll start
with Hegel.
Uh...
it was Hegel who said
that all the great...
greatest world events
happen twice,
and then Karl Marx added:
the first time it was a tragedy;
the second time it was a farce.
It's, uh, strange
to think, uh...
Yeah, a lot of the world's
thinkers are worried that...
that this century will be a...
a repetition of the last one.
Now, there's... there's
an interesting observation.
A creative act of memory,
to remember something,
to remember somebody,
is, uh...
It's always coloured
by emotions...
Hmm.
I'm looking for, uh,
Call Me L8R
and Passenger
Without a Ticket.
Shit.
- Anthony?
Anthony.
Hey! Long time no see.
I couldn't tell it was you
with that beard.
Is that for a movie?
- Yeah.
- Man, you haven't been
around here for ages.
- Yeah, I don't know
how long it's been.
- Six months, I'd say.
- Six months or more.
Yeah. So, how's everything?
- Great.
- Yeah. Are you meeting
somebody here?
'Cause there's no one around.
- No?
- No. You know no one comes in
on Saturdays.
- Oh, that's...
Well, I was, um...
Yeah, I was... I was, um,
supposed to pick up the thing
um, that...
the... the...
for the... for the movie
that, um...
and I forgot it was Saturday.
My head is, like...
- You actors
are something else.
Hold on. Let me see
if there's anything for you.
- Great.
- Yeah,
here it is. Look.
- Oh, that looks like it's it. Yeah. That's
definitely it. That's definitely it. OK.
- There you go. All right?
- Yeah.
- Hey, don't be a stranger.
- I won't be.
- Good luck with that movie.
- Great. I w... Yes.
Anthony Claire.

- Uh, good afternoon.
I'm call...
Um, I'm calling to speak to-
- I'm sorry, I think there's
been a misunderstanding.
I'm calling to speak
to Daniel Saint Claire, the-
- I'm sorry,
I don't understand.
My name's not Anthony.
No.
I... I... I'm calling to speak
to Daniel Saint Claire,
the actor. Um...
if I'm not mistaken,
that's Anthony Claire's...
uh, name that he uses
for, um, the movies,
for... for... for...
for his work.
- OK. I'm sorry to bother you.
- What?
I...
Oh, he doesn't know me.
No. OK, I'm gonna...

- Hello, this is Anthony...
A... This is Anthony Claire,
isn't it?
- Um... uh, I called before.
I was talk...
I talked to your wife. Crazy.
- You're the one.
Listen, you call here again,
I will call the police-
- I, uh... No, no, just...
just hear me out.
Can you say something again?
Can you talk again?
That's crazy.
That's amazing.
Um, your voice is just like
mine. Do you hear my voice?
Your voice is just like mine.
Shit.
- Sir, please, please, please, just listen to me for a second.
Just listen, OK? Just hear me out. I know this
sounds crazy Im sorry I got excited before.
When I get excited, I just act a little
strange, so just hear me out for a second.
I... I... I... I've seen
three of your movies,
and... and... and you're
great, you're great in...
you're great in them.
We look exactly alike.
And I called your wife
earlier today,
and she said that she thought
that it... that I was you,
and... I'm just... I'm just...
I'm just... I'm confused.
And I know this call must be
just as confusing for you
as it is for me,
and I... I just...
My name is Adam Bell.
I'm a history teacher,
and I just think
that we should meet.
Hey, hey, hey, hey. OK,
OK. Listen to me.
Never call here again.
- Who was that?
- It was that same guy.
- Well, what did he want?
- I don't know. He sounded
crazy. Like, he, uh...
He sounded like a stalker
or something.
- A stalker?
- Yeah, he said that he was a fan of mine,
that he wanted to, uh,
meet up or something.
What?
- Mm-hmm.
- No.
- Yeah.
- You're messing
with me.
Right?
Anthony.
- Ah.
Do you want to get
something to eat?
- Who was on the phone?
- Helen, the same guy who
called before. The same guy.
That's who was
on the phone.
I told you that.
Why would I tell you
any differently?
- Are you lying to me?
- I...
- You're lying to me.
- You're acting crazy.
- I'm not crazy.
Who was on the phone?
- I told you it was a man
who was on the phone.
- Are you seeing her?
- Helen, I don't want
to get into this.
- Are you
seeing her again?
- I think I'm gonna get
something to eat.
Let's go get something
to eat, and then
- I don't want to get anything.
- It was a man! It was a man!
What do you think it was?
A jealous husband?
- Yeah.
- I don't want
to get into this again, OK?
I don't want to get into this.
I'm going for a walk.
- Yes?
That's so strange.
I had a feeling
that you were gonna call.
- It's... it's... it's...
uh, uh, you know,
just a figure of speech;
it's not...
- OK.
No.
OK.
- Um...
well, see you...
see you soon.
- Hello.
- Hi.
- Is everything all right?
How many months are you?
- Um...
...six.
- That's nice.
I should be going. I have a
class I have to teach, you know.
Ah...
You never know
how your day's gonna turn out.
Have a nice day.
Hi.
It's a scorcher
out there.
The last 10 minutes of my run,
there was a 22-year-old kid
or something like that,
and he was...
he was following me
the whole time.
Ahh.
I'm never gonna
beat this kid.
And he dropped.
Do you think that I should
cut my beard off?
'Cause it's been hot.
Wait, and why'd you
call me earlier?
Were you calling me
for a reason?
Aww! Honey,
where are
the blueberries?
Where are
the blueberries?
I told you
like two days ago.
The organic blueberries, not
the conventional blueberries.
I can't use them
in the shoot.
What's wrong?
I was... I only say it
'cause I read in a magazine
that blueberries, the organic
blueberries are better...
You're gonna tell me
what's wrong?
- I...
I went to...
I went to see that guy.
- To who?
What are you talking about?
- The guy on the phone.
I went to his work.
- Why did you do that?
That's dangerous, honey.
- I wanted to know.
- Are you OK?
- He had
the same voice.
He looks
exactly like you.
- What do you mean
exactly like me?
- What's happening?
- I... I really don't know
what you're talking about.
- I think you know.
I think you know.
- Hello?
Huh.
I told you.
- Show me your hands, man.
- Why?
- Come on, show me your hands.
Maybe we're brothers.
- We're not... we're not
brothers... we're not brothers.
- How do you know?
Do you have a...
Do you have a scar on...
on your chest?
Like this one?
You do, don't you?
- I, uh...
- When's your birthday?
- This was a bad idea.
I think I made a mistake here.
Um...
I have...
I have this. I went to a
company that represents you,
and they gave that to me -
to you.
All right? I'm sorry.
I'm sorry.
- Don't worry, honey.
That guy won't be
calling here again.
Fuck.
- There must be
some difference.
- There isn't.
- You cannot be
exactly the same.
- We are.
- Did you
take your clothes off
in front of him?
- No.
- OK then.
You didn't eat.
The last thing you need is to be
meeting strange men in hotel rooms.
You have enough trouble sticking
with one woman, don't you?
Here.
- I don't like blueberries.
- Of course you do.
And they're good
for you.
I am going to pretend
I never heard a word
of what you just told me.
- I just wanted your advice.
- You don't want advice.
I don't want to hear
any more about this.
You are my only son.
I am your only mother.
You have a respectable job,
you have a nice apartment,
and since we're
being frank here,
I think you should quit that
fantasy being a third-rate
movie actor. Eat those.
You want some coffee?
- I have a question for you.
Did you fuck my wife?
Did you fuck my wife?
Did you sleep with my wife?
Did you fuck my wife?!
Did you fuck my wife?!
That's good.
That is fucking good.
This is what's gonna happen.
You're gonna give me
your clothes and your car.
I'm gonna take your girlfriend
on a little romantic getaway.
And tomorrow I'm gonna
bring her home.
And I'm gonna
come back here...
bring back all your things,
and I'm gonna disappear
from your life forever.
And then I'll be gone.
- What are you doing here?
- What the fuck is this place,
man? You live here?
I have some questions for you.
- Please go, or I'll call the police.
- Well, go ahead.
Call the police.
What are you gonna tell them?
What are you
gonna tell them, man?
Why'd you come looking
for me?
- I don't... I don't know.
I don't know. I just...
I needed to know.
- Needed to know, yeah, OK,
but when you called my house,
you talked to my wife.
Why'd you do that?
- She happened
to pick up the phone.
OK, yeah, but...
Can I ask you something?
Just man to man?
Um...
Did you sleep with my wife?
- I don't know
what you're talking about.
- Did you fuck my wife?
- This is crazy.
- Just answer
the question, man.
Just answer
my fucking question,
and then I will leave.
- You're fucking crazy.
- All right.
I'm fucking crazy?
I'M FUCKING CRAZY?!
I'M FUCKING CRAZY?!
You brought my wife
into this, man!
So I'm gonna bring your girlfriend
into the picture as well.
You want me out of your life?
This is what's gonna happen first.
You're gonna give me
your clothes and your car,
I'm gonna take your girlfriend
on a little romantic getaway.
I'm gonna bring her back home tomorrow,
and then I'm gonna come back here, and I'm
gonna bring back all your
stuff, and I'm going to
disappear from your life
forever. Then we will be even.
Mr. Claire.
Good afternoon.
Everything good?
- Yeah. I... I just, um...
...uh, forgot my keys.
- Is Mrs. Claire
not home?
Do you want me
to open the door for you?
- That would be
perfect, yeah.
- I can't stop thinking
about the other night.
Can't get it
out of my head.
I know I shouldn't
talk about this, but...
...I'd love to go back.
I heard they changed the
lock and sent out new keys,
but...
...I don't think
I'm on the list.
I need to go back.
- I mean... I'll see
what I can do.
I mean...
I don't know if that's
gonna be possible.
- Call me
if you hear anything.
After you.
OK, here you go, Mr. Claire.
- Thank you.
Hello?
- Anthony?
- Hi.
- The light's on.
You freaked me out.
- Sorry.
- What are you doing home?
I thought you were
at your mom's.
- Um, I, uh...
I cancelled it. I...
- You should have called.
I stayed longer
at the pool because...
'cause I thought
you weren't gonna be home.
- Uh... do you need
anything?
- I'm fine.
I'm gonna go to bed.
- 'K.
Are you sure you don't
n... need anything?
'Cause you... I...
When you came in and you said
that you went to the pool,
I just thought maybe that you'd been
there for a long time, and you...
had to walk home or whatever,
and- - Is everything OK?
- It's just, you're six months
pregnant, so I didn't know...
- No, I'm fine.
Why don't you come to bed?
- OK.
- Aren't you gonna
take your clothes off?
- Yeah.
- Did you have a good day
at school?
- What?
- Forget it.
- What? Whoa, whoa, whoa,
whoa, whoa! Mary, Mary, Mary.
Whoa, whoa.
What's wrong?
- The ring,
the mark on your finger.
- What are you
talking about?
I've always had this.
- No. No!
Who are you?! Don't
touch me! Don't touch me!
- What are you talking about?
What are you talking about?
- Don't touch me!
- What are you talking about?
- The ring!
The mark on your finger!
- What's wrong?
What's wrong?
- I just couldn't sleep.
- Yeah, I couldn't
sleep either.
I'm sorry.
- Why are you
doing this to me?
- What? What am I doing
to you?
- I want you to stay.
- Stop the car.
- Stop the car? Stop the car?!
I'll stop the fucking car!
You want me to stop the car?!
Get out!
I'm sick of this shit!
I can't even talk to you.
- Fuck you!
- You're behaving
like a child!
- You're not a man.
- I'm not a man?
I'm not a man?!
I'm not a fucking man?!
Get out!
Get out of the f-
- Sunshine,
a high of 24 today.
Clear tonight
with a low of 13.
Here's James
with a look at traffic.
- The westbound Lake Shore is
closed between Bathurst and Strachan
as crews clean up debris from a collision
that happened early this morning.
Police have not released
any details at this time,
but we do know there was
only one vehicle-
- I forgot to tell you
that your mother called.
You should probably
call her back.
- OK.
Helen, did you plan
on doing something tonight?
- My silent little room
is growing dim
- 'Cause I think
I have to go out.
- And the man next door
Is saying what a lousy day
it's been
- Helen?
- And the clock
on the wall
- Helen?
- In the room below
The girl's crying
for her guy again
After the lights go out
what will I do?
After the lights go out,
facing the night without you
There's a pigeon that's
Been sitting on
my windowsill all day
I guess he's lonely too
I wonder if his love has
flown away
When I get up on my feet
I need a cup of coffee
anyway
Someone called for you
But I hung up the phone
What could I say?
After the lights go out
what will I do?
After the lights go out,
facing the night without you
I don't look for her
I find her in the shadow
of my mind
For she's just a girl
Whose memory will be
wiped away with time
Any second now
The lamp down the street
will show its light
And I just can't seem
To tear away her kisses
from the night
After the lights go out
what will I do?
After the lights go out,
facing the night without you
Facing the night
without you
