Look, see how the sun makes it all glow? Kind of day that makes you glad to be alive.
Why are you keepin' me here? I see no locked doors.
Well, they were after me.
Ooo, sounds terribly ominous.
Why am i here? it has nothing to do with me-- any of this.
I've seen you before.
Really? What were you doing in the mountains, six? I was-i was, uh, lost.
I mean, i have no idea how i got here.
I-- what did you call me? This-- look, something's wrong here.
Yes! You are wrong, six.
Do not call me that-- i am not six.
Show me your id papers.
Well, i don't have any papers Well, you just put them there.
You were seen in the mountains.
what have you done with 93? I don't know anything about 93.
Where is the old man? You can't do this to me! I don't care who you are-- do you hear me! Now, i wanna get back to new york.
Well, that's not possible-- There is no new york-- there's only the village.
(man, on tv) look, we've been here before.
it all feels too familiar-- i know that.
truly, we live for today.
This is my home? (man) we must be doing something right.
No, i mean (man, on tv) you can't escape it.
My apartment in-- done in your other life.
This is where you belong.
(reporter) we interrupt this programming for the following public-- (man) will you just, uh, sign this to say that everything's in order? I'm signin' nothin', pal.
(reporter) the palais today identified the missing villager as 93, a man in his late 70's, last seen heading north into the desert two nights ago.
93 is well known to hospital staff following a history of stage seven mental unwellness.
he also suffers from shortness of breath, dizzy spells and a weak heart.
but we wish him well and hope to report his discovery eminently if not sooner.
(door bell clangs) Hey! What can i do you for? I'd like to buy a map.
Hmm street or topographic? Biggest one you got.
That's the biggest? Pull her out.
That's it! Buy one, get one free.
What the hell would i want with two maps? Makes a perfect gift.
Big enough for ya? Here we are You are here.
That's the palais two.
"wow" being the appropriate word.
and that's the clinic and-- Where's the road outta here? (chuckling) ohh-- you crack me up, six.
You've not seen me before.
(chuckles) no, sir.
you, i would remember.
But you know my-- welcome to the village.
Everybody knows everybody! Be seein' ya! (313) six! Six, wait! Why are you calling me that? (313) well, i think that it suits you.
Six hmm, i like it.
Six, where do you think you're going? Goin' home.
You won't get far.
Is there nothing can say that will make you wait? you can tell me the truth.
What the hell is this place? You're one of us.
That's the truth.
Wha-- hey! Aw, man, not my car-- come on! (downtown traffic hustle and bustle) Do you think i could use your phone? Mine's just been stolen.
Yeah.
Go ahead.
(dialing) Actually, i lied.
I lost it.
I'm always losing my phone.
(sighing) i hate leaving messages-- don't you? i noticed you, 'cause you look like you're waiting for someone.
Maybe, i am.
Who you waitin' for? Don't answer that.
i'm late again.
(radio announcer) traffic the same on the g.
w.
as the jersey turnpike.
it's hell on four wheels out there.
so, if you want my advice-- get off your butt and walk! total gridlock from some kind of gas explosion in the heart of brooklyn.
Hey! (laughing) you got my phone.
Oh! Um, i'd say, "sorry" but i promised myself I'd stop apologizing to men.
Having a party? Yeah, you wanna come? ah Can't make it tonight.
Oh There's no party, anyway.
Ah, just what i thought "drinking alone.
" I'm celebrating.
Oh, yeah-- what? Ah You were talking to someone.
You shouldn't listen to other people's conversations.
It's rude.
How come you're interested in my life back there, If it doesn't exist? Of course, i'm interested.
I want to help you with these delusions.
I can't leave here, can i? Why would you want to leave? why would you even think such a thing? All right, doctor.
My delusion is, i met a woman the other night And i invited her back to my apartment.
Did she come back To your apartment? I don't know.
I don't know.
(147) what's that? I haven't opened it, yet.
It's from the clinic.
What's it say? We've been summoned, to the clinic.
What for? An appointment, with two.
Oh, dear! It says someone else here at the bottom.
So, this guy at the hospital.
he wants to know where 93's body is.
Why? That's not a delusion.
That's happening here, right now.
If you did see 93.
Is that why they set me free, to let you loose on me? the caring, sharing doctor, With the big beautiful eyes and the nice, girly smile.
Soften me up-- get me to talk? Of course, you doubt me.
You doubt everything, But that's not you speaking, six.
That's your condition.
my condition is that i'm being held here Against my will.
(bus driver) cabins 29 to 63.
yellow district-- cabins 309 to 357.
green district-- apartments 51 to 299.
Can you see, six, How i might wonder why you are here, If, as you claim, "you know nothing about 93?" I came here to find out who this man, 93, is.
Now that you're here Do you see what he was? A drunk.
A fool.
Maybe he drank, Because he found the lie of this place unbearable.
he knew what i know.
The village is not all that there is.
What is it you're suggesting? A hole in the sky, Aliens landing secretly in the night, Mysterious roads that lead beyond, beyond, beyond.
A magic gateway, perhaps? Some portal leading into "never-never land.
" (chuckling) Take a look outside, six.
People going about their lives, Strolling in the sun, sitting together in the park, Or anywhere where they might choose to sit together.
They take a scooter ride, go dancing, Enjoy a beer in the cafe, While they gaze about the village.
Contented.
hopeful.
every day above ground is a good day.
The problem is in your mind.
Well i want out.
You've tried that! There is no "out.
" (chuckling) There is only "in.
" Now, you can go on tormenting yourself, If that's what you want, Or you can stop.
If 93 were no more than a drunk, A fool, as you say, Then why were they chasing after him? Shooting at him? Because 93 found something, And if he can do it, i can.
I pity you, six.
You refuse to open your mind to the possibility That you're wrong.
If i open my mind, You'll take it away from me.
We might But we will always give it back.
Did 93 show you this-- i need to know.
Did he talk to you about this? Are there other drawings? 554, please.
93 must've trusted you.
There has to be a reason he told me to come to you.
What is this-- what does this do? I'm going to meet my boyfriend.
I'm sorry.
please, help me.
please.
93 said, "the drawings were from his other life "before the village.
" That's all i know.
You have to leave me alone, now.
(clock ticking) (sighing deeply) (clock chimes) (two clearing throat) And you are here to receive a medal For services to the village, And you should keep the medal with you, At all times.
And when you met number six, What did you make of him? He was a little strange.
A-a-actually-- nope.
Number six has been dealt with, So he is no longer a worry to us.
And there was another thing, in the summons.
Uh, yeah, it said, uh, "to bring cake, with cherries in it.
" Did you? Uh, yeah-- yeah.
Oh, no-- leave it there.
(two) "my dear villagers, perhaps two could interrupt your day in the sun to relate the grave news that we have discovered number 93's body in the mountains.
sadly, the old man had succumbed to a weak heart.
he spoke briefly to emergency staff, before dying on route to the hospital.
his last words were to honor the village, and request the anthem be sung in his name.
If you tell me what you know, I promise you, i won't come back.
(two) breathe in, breath out village life goes on.
Do you want, uh, something to drink? 93 was convinced that his dreams meant That he had another life, before this one.
he started saying things-- "that we're prisoners here.
" Prisoners? I've said too much.
I-i don't even know who you are.
It's okay-- you can trust me.
i am not one of them.
I dream this, all the time.
What is it? This is more real, than anything out there.
This is the first bit of hope i've been given, Since i got here.
If there are others like us, who dream, and they got to thinking that 93 escaped, then-- do you think there are others? Do you? Are you for real? I promise you-- you're safe with me.
i'll see you at the cafe tomorrow.
(woman singing opera) What is it, 11-12? Why is six so convinced there is another place? Because for people like six, life is not enough.
The simple life They want to escape it.
What are you doing here? Oh, i'm trying to find out what you're doin' here.
Do something for me, will ya? Lie down beside me.
(chuckles) uh, you're supposed to be trying To convince me you're sane.
Come on.
Uh, okay.
Right.
A hundred billion stars, Over and over billions of galaxies, and that's just what we can see.
Can you honestly tell me That the village is all that there is? Of course not.
Has to be life out there somewhere.
Perhaps, another village.
Oh, it's, um, 400 billion, By the way.
Look at me.
Isaac newton, galileo, Plato, socrates, Karl marx, groucho marx, Darwin-- surely, darwin.
kennedy, bob dylan, david beckam.
Who invented the telephone? Oh, uh, uh Alexander graham bell-- the light bulb? Everyone says it was thomas edison.
It was joseph swan.
where do these names come from-- these memories? I was taught this stuff by a lady named mrs.
radcliff, My teacher.
Now, where does that come from? now, tell me about mrs.
radcliff.
you're humoring me.
(giggling) tell me, anyway.
Okay, she had a big blue nose, Skin like a crocodile.
She actually looked more like a man in a dress.
Not just a man, but a boxer.
Wow! I like her, already.
Do you know what a crocodile is? Are you trying to trap me? Yes-- no.
Yes.
Yes yes.
are you trying to trap me? no.
Tell me about the woman.
I resigned today.
Oh, that's why you're celebrating.
Alone.
Too bad.
Um, i go this way.
Oh! Really? Really.
Uh, what's your name? Lucy.
Lucy.
Well, i'd like to get to know you, lucy.
Well, maybe you can.
Well, i'd like to get to know you, tonight.
Well, maybe you can.
(gasping) maybe, you can.
take your burden to the lord and leave it there if you trust and never doubt it will surely bring you out take your burden to the lord and leave it there What's goin' on? You know what it is, six.
93 deserves a decent burial.
You didn't find his body.
93 is gone-- escaped.
Found the way out.
If 93 found the way out, Six can convince himself that there is an out.
Six must try to escape, because six knows, There is nothing to escape from.
In his mind, in is soul, Six knows that six is six.
(church bell ringing) (woman sobbing) Hey, man-- need a cab? Why would i need a cab, if i'm going into a cafe? Well, you know, people who go into cafes, Come outta cafes, And sometimes, they might need a cab.
Well, i don't know, if i'll need a cab.
Why you hassling me, anyway? hey, six I like ya-- you're a likable man.
And i like giving rides in my cab to people i like.
Sometimes, being nice is, uh, Well, it's just being nice.
Hey.
I'll always be here, if you need me.
Thanks.
(public safety announcer) if you're crawling through traffic, hoping to escape for the weekend, think hard, my friends.
did you hear that? it's the same on the g.
w.
-- it's hell on four wheels out there.
oh, gridlock, after some kind of gas explosion, in the heart of brooklyn.
(woman screaming) Put a pillow on his face.
Snuffed him out like a-- Snuffed him out like a candle.
Now-now, he's dead.
Need some help here! Hey.
I'm glad i met you, six.
I'm glad i told you.
Perhaps, we can escape together.
when you're better.
93 said-- he said "follow the towers.
" (fire officer) please, back away, sir-- please, back away.
keep calm, now.
What is it-- terrorists? Some kind of resistance? Tell me-- you should've stayed away from her.
So, what are you saying? Are you saying, "this is my fault?" Look-- no, you tell me, damn it! Don't you see-- what's the matter with you? With every pore of my body, i'm scared.
(long beep) Look, um Sometimes, not very often, Something like this happens.
And everything goes back to normal.
Things, they settle down.
They do it for us.
Just, please, don't make things worse, six.
(number six) "i promise you, you're safe with me.
" (shouting) two! Do you hear me? She's gone-- you did that.
she knew there was a way outta here! and i'm gonna find it! I will find a way to escape! Do you hear me? i am not a number! i'm a free man! Aah! You can tell a lot about a person From their apartment.
If you know how to look.
Here's to forgetting.
Some things.
(bottles clinking) (seagulls squawking, waves crashing) (chuckling) there you are.
Here.
(two) don't you recognize your brother? Six? Why would a man deny the existence of his own brother, When he's standing right in front of you? Because he's sick, demented.
Isn't that what you want me to think? Let us concern ourselves only with evidence.
Brought these from home.
Remember that? Stuff could be fake.
And does your flesh also lie, six? You fell out of a tree and cut your arm.
You could have done it, while i was sleeping.
Buddy, we-we just want you back, the way you were.
You're not gonna catch anything.
Yes, i will-- i did last week.
Perhaps therapy might work, yes? What do you say, six? Give the talking cure a try.
Oh, you would like that, wouldn't you? Meddling with my mind.
What are you afraid of, six? A glimpse into your psyche, Discovering that you are the problem, after all? I'm not afraid.
Come on! Good-- the sessions are booked.
A man with nothing to hide, Is a man with nothing to find.
(collective chattering) (13) good to see you, six.
Home at last.
Hey, look who it is.
Hey, uncle six-- your not dead.
Hey, good evening.
Oh, it's good to see you.
(kids) hey, dad-- i've made your favorite for dinner.
Barbeque pork wraps.
(public safety announcer) it's "wonkers!" (excited collective chattering) (number 13) ah, see, we never miss "wonkers.
" 46-5 Yes.
Oops, here we go.
I don't like pork.
(number 13) oh, go on-- it's your favorite.
There is something.
Okay, so, 765 is in love with 23-30, But 23-56 is pregnant to 46-5, and 913 had an affair with 23-30.
so, 765 is jealous of 23-30, And so she, like, took her revenge by sleeping with 46-5.
(number 765) 46-5-- yes.
I'm leaving you.
no-- (number 765) yes.
Oh, no! Why? I love your brother.
You have a lovely family.
I know it And i'm proud of it.
But it's not real, is it? And i'm not your brother.
My brother's dead, and i'm somebody else.
Six, it kills me to see you like this-- did you take anything? What? papers from my pocket? No.
'cause maybe you work for them.
I don't know.
I only know that none of this is real.
If you won't go to your therapy, then, i will.
I have to, because let me tell you, I just want my brother back.
And it just kills me to-- Why is it so dark in here? Why does it feel so dark to you? Well, my home is not my home.
My brother's not my brother.
Nothing's real.
(laughing) And what feels real to you, six? Why should i tell you? Because it bothers you Doesn't it? (chuckling) you can't cure your thinking with your thinking, six.
You have to hand it over.
There is something in you, Which you feel the need to find.
you feel the need to resolve it.
am i right? Let me tell you something interesting.
Numbers on a phone, how they work.
They have a logic, a purpose.
I get the feeling this is not merely information.
When you borrowed my phone, the number you dialed, it wasn't a number.
That's pretty observant.
What kind of a guy notices stuff like that? Just someone suspicious.
You didn't make a call.
There was something came into your head? I saw a seagull this morning.
Some kind of bird? Yeah, that's right, some kind of bird.
And i got to thinking "either you're a long way from home, "or we're a lot closer to the beach, than i realized.
" (laughing) And what is "the beach?" That's where you go on vacation.
Tell us about your vacation.
Not much to tell.
Me and my brother, We'd take the train to the sea.
we called it "the edge of the world.
" giant salt water rod for him.
An old fishing net for me.
Wait a minute-- did you say "us?" who's "us?" He is me we are me.
I find it conducive to work in this way.
I can engage.
And i can reflect.
I think we're done here.
Six, wait! There's no requirement that you share your thoughts Here with me-- us.
Simply to have them.
(313) six! six, wait! i met your brother.
Seems like a sweet man.
He spies a lot.
I mean-i mean, i think he's a worrier, And i think he's worried about you, six-- he's not my brother.
Six, maybe you could just accept the possibility That he is-- listen to me-- i am not a number.
Right.
There was something in my pockets.
Did you take it? No, there was nothing in your pockets, six.
(16) six, there you are.
I was thinking, "what is the one thing "that helps a man not dwell on his troubles?" Work-- huh? Come on-- let's go see the guys.
(bus honking) Hey, 130.
Look who's here.
(collective greetings) He's lost some weight, don't you think, boys? Looks to me like a man who needs a beer or 12.
We'll take you out with the boys tonight, six.
Put some flesh on them bones, huh? How do you fancy getting behind the old wheel? Why do you think i can drive this thing? You're the best there is, six.
But i've never driven a bus in my life.
(chuckling) listen to him, boys.
How 'bout you just get behind the wheel, And see if it all comes back to ya, huh? fire her up.
(engine starting) (16) ah, as sweet as a honey nut wrap.
(chuckling) (public safety announcer) the village tour will depart in approximately one minute and 20 seconds.
see the sights! if you've already seen them, see them again.
See ya-- bye.
(16) your driver today, my buddy and my brother, number six.
Coming up here, on your left, is the village museum of modern art, Containing the famous painting of crying 38-30, by 794.
And then, coming up, One of the highlights of our tour, the clinic.
every day is a sunny day in the village.
moving on now, over to the corner, the newly rebuilt "solar cafe.
" You were right, of course.
He is resistant to the possibility Of revealing the six inside.
And why is that? He feels alone.
Oh! Very good.
He dreams of escape.
He feels rootless.
And yet, his roots are right here, Under our feet.
What ails the man? He described A fishing trip.
fishing? We like six's fishing stories, don't we, 70? Some kind of fantasy.
Perhaps you'd do better trying to find the two inside.
(all laughing) Why not, since i'm here.
We can have a poke around.
See what makes two tick.
The inside two.
I'm curious.
I want to know what's going on inside of me.
Let's start My wife I'm the reason she's the way she is.
Perhaps we should stay with the matter of six.
I know i can trust you.
I love my son.
But, i have thoughts, If he knew me, if he truly know his father, He might not like me.
Do you like me, 70? You are two-- we all love you.
but, do you like me? (nervously) i don't really know you.
I-- what i do know is that you are a wonderful man.
of course.
You think i believe all of this therapy babble, do you? My mother sat me sideways on the potty When i was a toddler, So now i want to sleep with her? oh, grow up, man! Have you had sex with your mother, 70? No-- never.
Well, don't.
Two, if i might ask, If you don't believe In the value of the talking cure-- it's not necessary for me to believe.
It is necessary for six to believe.
The sight to delights just don't stop, folks.
actually, this is one of my favorite parts of the trip, the desert.
my kids, they always say to me, "dad, what's beyond the desert?" and i tell 'em, "more desert.
" (all laughing) around every dune, there's another dune, right? in a few moments, we're gonna be pulling up for some light refreshments.
91 will be coming around with, uh, some delicious wraps.
and remember, take out your cameras.
this is one of the best views of the towers.
Where are you going? There's something i wanna see.
Ah, a very slight detour-- no cause for alarm.
(collective gasps) (laughing) (collective chattering) Okay, everyone, this is an unscheduled stop.
Can you see it on the map? (16) who can tell me what it is? (woman) some kind of bus that broke down? (16) ah, not even close.
What are you doing? It's an anchor.
Which means, somewhere around here is a boat, Yeah, or a ship.
A ship means water, and water means ocean, right? What does ocean say to you-- anyone? Uh, this is what's known as a desert folly, Which means it's a nothing.
no, it's not-- it means escape.
(collective chatter) Yeah? Come on.
Something i wanna show you.
(collective chatter) What is this place? It's the ruins.
Were there ever trains? I don't get you, six.
It's the ruins-- it's the same as it's always been.
We came here every day, when we were kids.
We played soldiers, and hide-and-seek.
We used to call it the "edge of the world," remember? How can you forget that? Guess i do feel something, being here.
I can't-i can't deny it.
But, why? Why should i feel belonging, When i've never been here before? Try to ask yourself, Do you really think that whole family, those kids, Are living their lives just to deceive you? Maybe.
If you're right, There's no way out of here, then.
Can't we have life here? isn't that something? Two people, like your brother, His family-- no-no-no-no-no.
That's what they want us to think.
313, you ever been on a boat? Why would i? You don't know what you're missing.
I noticed you, sitting on your own.
I decided that if i spoke to you, You might wanna get to know me.
Is that so bad? Why tonight? Why choose the day that i resign? Well, maybe, it's a coincidence.
Do you know the way? (public safety announcer) every day is a sunny day.
it's "wonkers!" (46-5) life is short.
(765) it's the same thing, over and over, Day in and day out.
It's like we can never escape.
(16) i'm 16, your guide.
you driver today, my buddy and brother, number six.
Coming up here, on your left, is the village philharmonic hall.
And then, coming up, One of the highlights of the tour The clinic.
and next, today, especially for you, The home of our great patron.
the one, the only, home of you know who, Palais two.
"wow," being the operative word here.
Wouldn't it be amazing if two came out right now? (collective chattering) (chuckling) Oh, he-- (woman whispering) much bigger than on tv.
He's coming.
It's good to see you looking so much better, six.
Driving your bus around, Spending time with your brother.
Family is the greatest gift the village can give us.
Isn't that right? Hmm.
Perhaps one day, you will have a son, six.
I recommend it.
It's only when you have family, That you learn the meaning of love.
Oh, do sit down.
Are we enjoying our little sight seeing trip? Wonderful.
good.
And what do you think of your driver? (all praising in unison) There, good news.
One family, here on this bus, has won a holiday, To the escape resort.
I have the ticket here.
And the lucky family is yes! (applause) i've always wanted to go to escape resort.
Can't wait to tell the kids.
Fantastic-- thank you.
(applause) (16) and that wraps up our tour for today.
i bet you're all ready for a beer, or 12.
Escape resort.
You're gonna come with us, aren't you, six? This resort, is it by the sea? A sea? Yeah, you know, the sea, the ocean, water, waves.
What do you mean, the pool? you gotta come, six.
Come away with me.
(765) life is short.
(46-5) so come away.
(765) you'd never escape the guilt.
(46-5) 913 wouldn't care.
you would break 46-5's heart.
his wife and his own brother.
(46-5) i can't let you go.
(six) you took them.
No, i found them in your pocket.
You fool around with me like everything's a joke.
What do you-you report on me? Tell 'em what i say to you? Why'd you take them? I like them.
I like the idea of another place.
I'm sorry, i don't wanna lose you Lose our friendship.
I was being stupid, and look, It won't happen again.
I lied to you.
(lucy) you really are suspicious of people, aren't you? You would be too if you worked there.
You haven't told me where you work.
I am-- I was an analyst for a company called "semicorp.
" we collect c.
c.
tv footage from around the world.
I watch people, i see things.
I collect data and statistics.
my job is to look for patterns, how we live.
Trying to find out what is going on, And finding out what is going on is not good news.
Is that why you resigned? Why do you ask? Well, why shouldn't i be interested in you? Sorry, it's what that place does to you.
What you need is a distraction.
(giggling) You know, i watch people like us, Doing things like this, And i write about them in my reports.
So, if you were watching us now, what would you see? Two people, a man and a woman in a room, For one night, 'cause that's all they're capable of anymore.
Please, tell me that is not true.
It's only a report-- it's what you believe.
It's what i see.
It's ridiculous, i know, but I've been lying awake, thinking, "maybe if i came down, they wouldn't be here.
" You loved that thing.
You always say that.
I don't remember it at all.
Memory is fickle.
Six says that everything here is fake, unreal.
It's not possible.
I mean, why would the world be like that? It is like that, in six's mind.
Look at me, 11-12.
Is this real? Do i love you like no father ever loved a son before? when i was your age, i questioned everything.
young men always doubt, challenge, But never doubt your family.
Never.
Steven, come back.
Something happened, in you A memory.
Your fishing trip, perhaps.
Your brother? Do you think it would help me to tell you? I know it would.
765 is in love with 23-30.
23-56 is pregnant to 46-59.
913 had an affair with 23-30, so 765 is jealous of 23-30, So she-- he's running rings around us! I see your fear, 70.
I've been watching you.
You know you're a prisoner-- you're just like me.
But you don't wanna know.
Well, i refuse to become you.
I do remember something about this place.
Like something happened here.
Doesn't that make it true? They do it to me somehow.
They do it to all of us.
One, two Three, four, five Six.
"hello to you, who-whoever you are.
"i'm six.
" I'm eight years old.
You sound like such a clever, little six.
It's a trick.
You knew where it was-- you went straight to it.
It has to be a trick.
Has to be.
Tell me why you resigned, please? I worked on a floor called "analysis.
" We don't know who works on the next floor.
We never see them.
I started to notice something, And like a good boy, i reported up.
And what was it? People changing.
Too many people.
So i sent in the report, got a three-word reply.
"cease and desist.
" But if you could find out why "solutions" wanted you to stop.
Who are you? You work in "semicorp," you said "solutions.
" I didn't say, "solutions.
" No more bullshit-- who are you? Yes, i-i work there.
You sit there, you look at me, And you tell me why you're here? You think you resigned-- maybe you did, But it's not over.
They still control you.
(six) i'm, uh, going on vacation with my brother tomorrow.
You called him your brother.
Do you see? I see i need to get out of here, Before i become a part of this place.
I, uh, be seeing ya.
There's a reason i go on those bus trips.
I heard the ocean once.
They stopped the bus.
I kind of wandered off away.
I heard waves crashing.
I heard the ocean.
(taxi driver) you know, i'm all for a wild goose chase.
I'm an affirmative kind of guy, generally speaking, But, "i can hear big water? "somewhere, there's a sound of splashing?" Please.
You mind if we just shut up and drive, please? Sounds good.
(public safety announcer) it's non-stop to the escape resort, departing in approximately four and half minutes.
Where is he? i don't know.
She's a crazy, six.
(people on bus singing) (all breathing heavily) Man, we are right where we were, And we were here, even before that-- And we are right here, again.
Maybe it was an illusion.
Maybe i never heard it.
Listen to me, you did hear something.
You have to keep believing that you heard it.
I wish i could.
I wish i could hear it now.
Try.
(taxi driver) listen.
Follow the towers.
Two put you up to this, didn't he? What? All this talk of the ocean-- yes, he did.
He wants to throw me off track.
we're going on a trip no-no-no, it's today! Where you going, man? my family! (16) i knew you wouldn't let us down.
I told them-- didn't i tell ya? six never missed a vacation in his life.
Come on, what are we waiting for? All right, everyone, We're all gonna have a nice, normal vacation.
(16) you can't get to the towers-- it's not possible.
you know that, six.
Do you know the way? is it hot as hell in here or is it me it really is a mystery (two laughing) if i die before i wake i pray the lord my soul to take my misery i could really use a drop to drink feel like i was really in the pink i knew it was a dream when i don't sleep i'm slumberin' there's still a promise dreamers keep i'm wondering wa-wa-wa wa-wa-wa lay beyond the sea wa-wa-wa wa-wa-wa (16) you hear me? You gotta cut this out! You gotta stop this! I found something the monster wants.
something of mine from when i was a boy.
I keep trying to prove i'm right, Find a way out.
But what if i am wrong? What if i am your brother? All you've give me is love and kindness.
I've repaid you with cruel accusations.
Maybe i am insane.
I'm sorry for all the pain i've caused you.
You're a good man.
I do trust you.
Hey I'm glad i have a brother.
Six I'm not your brother.
I'm sorry! Please, you've gotta help me, now! You've gotta help me.
I'm sorry.
(screaming) (collective chatter and laughter) I try to be a good father.
You know, give them something good To look back on.
This place, it's what you dream of.
For a guy like me, it's out of reach.
I'm scared of them, six.
They're watching us all the time.
Look at me, i'm shaking like a leaf.
Look, i need a beer.
(six) what is it they want from me? They must have told you something.
My head is so confused with confusion.
I-i don't even know if what i just told you Is true or not.
The other place.
Something about you talking about some other place.
Are they really your family? I don't even know anymore.
I know it sounds stupid, but, I sort of do think of you as my brother.
Me, too.
Six, is there another place? There is.
You gotta help me get out there.
They will get me-- they're gonna get me.
No, we'll get out first.
It isn't there, is it? Two will know we were out here.
He'll know that i betrayed him.
I promise you, we'll find it.
steven, come back.
16, come back.
I'm only just getting started-- come on! Come back here! (howling) Ah! (mumbling) (breathing heavily) It's gone.
I have to tell you something.
Shh, uncle six-- "wonkers" is on.
(laughing) your father-- Your father's dead! (laughing) he drowned.
(screaming) Yeah, well, 11-12, none of us can choose our family.
(six) he swam in the ocean.
Taste the saltwater in his mouth.
Felt the power of the waves.
There is a way out of this place.
No matter how loudly you shout that there isn't! You're the one who's shouting, six.
The louder a man shouts, the more profoundly he's wrong.
I'm not wrong.
I'm telling you the truth.
My brother is dead.
Six.
Saying these things about his brother-- it hurts.
Only a family can heal.
I didn't mean that.
I didn't mean "my brother.
" Six-- oh, six.
I am not a number-- i am not a number.
i am- i am-- Yes, six.
My name is-- damn it! My name is-- I am six.
He's six.
I am six! That's right.
I am six-- i am six, you bastard!
