- One of them? - The invisible people.
I see them all the time.
Oh my god Send a car.
I'm back! Home sweet home.
You're guarantying I can get this back, right? - Yeah, sure.
- You don't have to do this, you know.
What is it with you? You complain when I borrow your car.
Or other people's car.
That's not borrowing, that's stealing.
And you don't even have a license.
- That's a very unusual ring.
- Yeah.
How much is that in rand? You could have gotten a better deal.
I could have gotten you a better deal.
I like it.
It's better than your car.
It's got classic lines.
- You can't park here.
- I'm a tourist.
Let me see that license again.
Yeah, well it looks real.
It is real.
So, why is it you have to go up there alone? - It's nothing personal.
- Nothing personal I met that girl too, you know.
She told me all about the invisible people she sees.
Alright.
So what does 01 has to do with this? I saw him disappear.
What? Last night outside his club he poured this on his head and he disappeared.
Vanished? Vanished?! Are you saying he can go back and forth? I'm saying: he disappeared.
Who disappeared? Hum no one.
- Can I get you anything else? - No, I'm fine, thanks.
Charlie Jade is legally dead.
And, as he has no legal heirs, all of his assets, you included, are turned over to the State.
But the State doesn't employ C-3s.
So you're out on your own.
This belongs to me.
C-3s own nothing.
What's this? How bad do you want it? Take it.
The destruction of our reactor was an act of terrorism.
We must treat it as a wake-up call.
We have to reach out to one another.
Around the world we have to get together.
This horror must never be repeated.
Security must become our no.
1 priority.
This island will be the perfect place.
Easily secured, out of the way.
A permanent home for fanatics militants revolutionaries.
There hasn't been a war in over 40 years And now, this Which right do we have to trample to preserve our way of life? It must never come to this.
Who are you? Who do you work for? Who are you?! I told you Despite a worldwide alert and a 10 million rand reward authorities are no closer to apprehending the Vex-Cor bomber.
10 million rand and you let her slip through your fingers 10 million rand aren't going to get me home.
This might.
See you.
What are you doing here? I was out here once before.
- I remember.
- I'm a private investigator.
I have a license.
You came back! Mom, what are you doing? Looks brand new to me.
Well, I lost everything in the explosion.
A bit too close to the fire.
Are you thirsty? - What do you got? - It's lemonade.
Go ahead.
Ask your questions.
I guess the first thing I want to say is I'm not one of them.
One of the invisible people.
At least I'm pretty sure of that.
I didn't really think you were.
The others were always kind of fuzzy.
You think you'd recognize one if you saw him again? I don't know.
What about this guy? - You know who he is? - Yes! - Are you sure? - Yes, 3 or 4 times at the café.
- What's this all about? - I saw him yesterday.
- In Cape Town.
- Really?! I don't believe it.
What are you talking about? - It's linked to the water.
- This was a bad idea.
There is no invisible people.
Yes there is.
Tell him, mom.
You have to tell him.
Before Jody was born, we lived in a town not far from here.
Lot of birth defects.
People got sick all the time.
Then government officials showed up and started testing the water.
I've never been sick a day in my life.
But this is worse I've found some of those myself.
When did you get back? Last night.
Mind if I ask what you're doing? Ever heard of a town called Gillan? Yeah, what do you want to know? The contaminated wells, the pharmacist imprisoned for illegally disposing of pharmaceuticals ? - Aaron Bridger.
- A travesty really.
Vex-Cor was 10 miles down the way.
They blame this guy for dumping outdated cough syrup Served 11 years.
Think he's out now.
I've got an address.
Wanna go for a ride? Can't say I'm sorry to see them leave.
Glad things are getting back to normal.
This can't be right.
What's the matter, you don't believe in psychics? Charlie? What the f! Reena - Reena - Mommy? Reena my darling Mommy That's my little darling We need to control Gamma.
What am I looking at here? Security in Beta.
At an all-time high.
Civil rights suspended hundreds of people detained .
Including my entire board of directors Word is, they were behind the scientist.
You know the one.
Who planned to cut ties with head office.
But I'm sure it's all in Galt's report.
Isn't that right down the street from here? Until the links are up again it's the cost of doing business.
I'm not staying outside.
[???.]
You think I'm making this guy up? He's a black guy, got a grey suit on, about your age - better looking - Alright, alright Just go on inside.
Hello.
- How can I help you? - I'm looking for Aaron Bridger.
He died 3 months ago.
Was he your husband? What do you want? I think he was locked up for something he didn't do.
- Who are you? - My name's Charlie Jade.
I'm a private investigator.
I think that a run-off from the Vex-Cor reactor contaminated those wells and I don't think your husband had anything to do with it.
I don't want to talk about it.
I met another woman from the town.
You may know her.
She's got a little girl who sees things in the desert.
The invisible people, I see them all the time.
I'm sorry, I don't remember.
Do you see things too? Please, leave me alone.
As the C.
E.
O.
of Vex-Cor, this must be of great concern to you! You entire board detained in connection to this horrible bombing Detained but not yet charged with any crime.
So you're saying they were not involved? I'm closing up.
How about a drink? - I'm sorry, what? - A drink? - A bar - A bar, yeah That sounds really nice but I can't tonight.
I gotta meet someone.
Someone who disappeared? Yeah, yeah Strictly business.

Be careful.
Julie, Julie, Julie Breakfast? I just came to give you the slate.
That's funny: I'm the courier and you're making deliveries.
Yeah Make sure it gets to Rompkin right away.
You really messed up on tv last night How's it going to look when they'll go to prison and you're the last man left standing? Does Rompkin knows what you're doing? Essa knows everything you put in your report Julius which I wouldn't bother reading even if I could.
You see it's your ass Julie.
Think about your ass.
I do.
1.
2 billion prints, no match.
Sure you're looking in the right place? Which prints are you looking for anyway? Someone who doesn't exist, apparently.
Ah Grey Suit! - What's this? - Grey Suit.
We took a meeting last night.
Got him with a butter knife.
Empty when you got it? Who are you Reena? I told you.
I've told you everything.
You're a killer Reena.
You blew up Vex-Cor.
You killed hundreds of people.
No I'm not a killer.
Does that bother you? Yes You're a killer, Reena.
Does that bother you? Yes.
Do you mourn for them? Yes I do.
Do you think they'll mourn for you? It's beautiful.
Yes, you are.
Hi Jasmine.
How is it going? I'll be out by the end of the week.
This just arrived.
The Vex-Cor reactor was less than 10 miles away.
Birth defects cancers respiratory diseases Aaron wasn't to blame for any of that.
His trial was a joke.
His trial was a joke.
Yeah, I imagine so.
I've seen it before.
I lost everything.
My little girl my husband.
After Aaron went to prison, I came here.
Set myself up as a psychic.
If only it was the truth.
I hate it here.
Why don't you leave? Four years ago, a man approached me.
He knew all about my "gift", as he called it.
He works for Vex-Cor.
Said he didn't.
But I know he does.
- Is this the man? - No.
He said I could get Aaron out if I told him what I saw.
I told him everything.
But that wasn't good enough.
One morning I woke up with a bandage around my wrist.
They put something in there.
They know where I am.
All the time.
That water is killing me.
I can feel it.
I want to run, but I can't.
Tell me what you see, Andrea.
Such horrible things.
In the city, so much poverty and filth.
Armed soldiers, violent confrontations everywhere.
It's like looking into some terrible future.
Sometimes this place is just an oil-slicked wasteland.
- What do you see? - All around.
As far as the eye can see.
The sky is different.
So much pollution, you can hardly see the sun.
That's not the future.
It's another world.
- What? - These things, these places - that you see ; I've seen them.
- What do you mean? It's real.
It's where I live.
I need you to check your emails for me.
What for? Come on, man.
I'm in a hurry.
It'll just take a second.
Hey, this is a e-ticket.
To Patagonia.
What the hell is in Patagonia? Peace of mind.
Andrea Bridger.
See you later.
Who paid for this? The good news is the temporary link is on schedule.
Three weeks and we can be reconnected.
I'm over.
If I cut this thing out of you you'll need to leave right away.
No time to stop and think, you just gonna have to go.
Why Patagonia? Well, I think the things that you see in my world depend on where you are in this one.
Where I come from there is nothing there.
Nothing of any value to Vex-Cor, just wide open country.
- You'll be free.
- This doesn't make any sense.
Never used to.
Now I know what I'm seeing.
It's so horrible.
Yeah.
But it's home Do it.
Do it Do it.
You have done this before.
Yeah.
Where I come from, everybody has one of these.
Last chance to change your mind.
You want him to come after you, don't you? Yeah.
Him, or the guy I'm looking for.
Are you ready? This is gonna hurt.
Andrea Bridger.
Be careful.
Thank you.
Don't worry about me.
I wasn't sure what I was looking at until now.
I owe you.
Andrea Andrea Andrea Are you in there? Open up Tell me about the water! Water? Don't play games, you son of a bitch.
The water! - Tell me about the water! - The water? I don't know what that mean What was leaking out of the reactor in Vex-Cor? Tell me about the invisible people.
Hey, Jasmine.
Well I guess you were right.
I do take too many chances.
I probably didn't even say goodbye.
And if you are watching this then there's a pretty damn good chance I'm dead.
And you're gonna have to move forward, Jasmine.
We talked, a lot, about this.
How dangerous it could be, how hard, but hum you can do it.
You can.
You can set yourself free.
You know what to do.
Just, huh Call Orell and huh You gotta take care of yourself now.
See you around.
Cape City.
Are you saying he can go back and forth?
