i'm sorry.

i'm not safe for you to be around.
but, know this nobody resigns from summakor nobody.
they're selling tickets for your execution, michael, but they're calling it a "promotion.
" there is a place, another place.
it's where they sent them.
it's where they sent me.
it's where they sent you.
whatever you do, stay away from summakor.
you killed her! Come on out here and fight like a man! Every bit of pain i know, is because of you! I will find a way to make you suffer To make you feel! Do you hear me? hello? Do you come here to hurt me? You raised me up on lies.
Did you do that to hurt me? you're my son! Lies! Do you think i don't doubt? My conscience whispers to me night and day.
And sometimes, i listen But most of the time, i keep my faith in the village.
Where is the village? Inside.
The mind is capable of anything, Because everything is in it.
All the past, as well as all the future.
She volunteered.
your mother's mind is capable of anything.
The science of it all beguiled her.
But the reason for it-- the real reason, was you.
she did it for her son.
This one opens the cabinet, as you know, 11-12.
That is where the pills are kept, The pills that keep her sleeping Keep her dreaming.
I give it to you.
Why now? I thought, "if i can give him this, "a day with her.
" Think of it.
You will meet your mother.
She won't know me Who i am.
How will i know what to say to her? A day with your mother-- You want to know the truth? When you decide.
don't look at me! put it on your head.
What are you-- what are you doing? You scared me.
You kissed me.
Yeah-- uh, i, uh, i-i don't know why.
I, um-- You do know.
No, i mean, i don't know why i did it there.
I just couldn't help myself.
You couldn't help yourself.
That's right.
I know that feeling.
No.
No, i'm sorry-- not like this.
Three-one-three, i need to talk with you.
Four-fifteen-- she's gone.
Is it just nothingness down in those holes? What's happened to her? She's gone.
I, um, that's what we know about her.
So, uh-- My head is so full of nightmares.
What, and last night, What was your head full of then? Last night? how very flattering.
What? look, as you can see, i'm sort of rushed off my feet, So, please.
what's wrong with you? You were in my apartment last night.
You might at least acknowledge that fact.
Is this some kind of dream? just go! Oh, no, man.
You must be jokin'.
What do you mean? Last thing i need is another fight with you.
Another fight? access denied.
access denied.
Damn-- i've been sitting on my card, again.
I'll have to go downstairs and get it renewed.
You have a problem with that? What's it for? You're asking me, what is it for? Yes.
Are you gonna give me a hard time, again? Again? Look, if you just tell me what this receipt is for, I'll go.
I'll leave you alone.
Anyone can fake a receipt.
Why would i fake a receipt? I don't even know what it's for.
Are you recording this? I don't supply knives.
You show a man who says i gave him any kind of weapon, I will show you a liar.
Thank you.
operator.
Hello-- clinic, please.
You said you spoke with me.
spoke? Man, i thought you were gonna bite my face off.
But i wasn't there-- it wasn't me.
Look, don't get weird on me, six.
If you got mental difficulties, Get mental help because we all got our problems.
Something is happening here.
Three-one-three said i was with her, But i wasn't there.
It wasn't me.
hey, listen.
You have got to get your act together.
Ah.
Ah.
Who are you? You know who i am.
You saw what two did to 415, And you're just gonna take that? What's the plan, huh? Just stand there and shout at his door? Do you think words are gonna change anything, hmm? I am who you were intended to be.
I am vengeance.
There is only one way.
Kill two.
Ugh.
ugh.
Come here.
Ah.
Who is he? Who is who? There's a man in the village who looks like me, Exactly like me.
He says he's going to kill you.
Six is going to kill me? no-- he's going to kill you.
Oh, and that six, he's angry.
Well, isn't that how you feel? come on-- admit it.
You'd love it-love it, the chance to kill me.
After what you've done yes.
I'd like you dead.
So, you will be the assassin.
isn't that logical? Don't we live by logic? Not your logic, not anymore.
And your game, what you do to me here, won't stop me.
Are you quite sure that it is a game? Yes, 'cause no one gets close to two Unless two wants them to.
Well, perhaps he will.
you will.
Perhaps the moment will come.
I'll walk today, hmm.
Nice seeing you.
Impersonating two is an act of treason.
In the event of a two impersonating arising, you must seek him out and apprehend him.
this man may look like two, But you will know that he is not two, Because he is not two.
He may appear in the village in a disheveled state, Which has elements of resemblance to two.
He may claim to be two.
but he is not.
and he must be treated as who he is, which is someone who is not two.
He is a danger to the village.
Mom? Eleven-twelve.
Do you have cigarettes? No.
But would you like a map of the village? Are you sure you don't have cigarettes? Would you look? We haven't had cigarettes here for eight years And five months.
If you don't look, How can you be really sure that you're right? Guilty pleasures.
I didn't supply you with these cigarettes.
No.
I don't have them.
I don't even know what they are.
I've forgotten they even existed.
You came in here to buy a map.
I used to smoke in order to think.
You did? And are you thinking now? I am.
Sometimes Yes? I think.
Yes, go on.
If-if i could choose this-- A place i want to spend the rest of my life, A warm place, with no memory.
Just be careful what you say around here.
People will report you as soon as look at you.
Don't be different.
I wonder if we smoke to feed the guilt.
Speaking only for myself, I smoke for that fine oaky flavor Wi-with just a hint of lavender.
These things kill you, you know? The main health risks in tobacco Relate to diseases of the cardiovascular system, In particular, myocardial infarction, Diseases of the respiratory tract, Such as chronic obstructive pulmonary disease, And asthma, emphysema, and cancer, in particular, Lung cancer and cancers of the larynx and tongue.
So i've heard.
Smoking is a kind of suicide.
That's a bit philosophical for a thursday.
Thank you.
And i say good day to you.
operator.
Hello-- clinic, please.
Am i like you imagined? I mean, you know, do-do i-do i act like-- I know what you mean.
Sorry.
It's just i haven't had, uh, Too much practice at this and, um-- Will your father be joining us? All the family together, i-i'd like that.
No-- he's, um, he's gone away for awhile.
He suggested that perhaps i get to know you Get to understand.
The things i've seen In these walls.
You mean-- Everything.
Every step you ever took.
I mean, nobody warned me.
Nobody ever said that Dreaming would be such hard work.
Say what's in those sad eyes of yours.
I'm sure you'll see that the village has Everything that you'll need.
It doesn't have you.
Oh.
Two.
Huh-- oh.
It would be quite a coincidence, If i was two, but i am un-two.
So, there is no coincidence.
You know, if he gets to you, I won't be able to stop him.
I am no more than a numberless wanderer.
I know nothing about killers and their motives, Lost to their own appetites.
Such beasts have no moral compass.
Then why did you create 'em? If that's what you don't want me to become, Then why? It might be fun, though, might it not, To indulge him? Take him a woman.
Say 313, if that's what you desire.
If i can't control my desires, You can control me? Animals like that are easily manipulated.
They leave themselves open to be prodded In whatever direction their masters may ask.
Yes.
Oh, i pity a man like that.
Or i would, if i knew anything about such things.
Hmm? Hey.
hmm? hey! Hey, man, don't you know you can't be sittin' there Just dreamin' in the sun? Gonna get into all kinds of trouble out here.
Come on-- we gotta get you up.
Where do you live? What's your number? Oh, i'm a man with no number.
Oh, no-no- no-no-no-no.
Don't say that out loud.
You'll have every undercover around here Down on your case.
Come on.
Get you off the street.
You know what he's doin', don't ya? What are you accusing me of now? Look, he's taken some part of me, Separated it out somehow.
It's out there.
Please listen! Look, no.
Look-- i'm sorry to bop your balloon, six, But you were there in my bedroom.
And as farfetched as it may sound, I actually gave you the elbow.
You kicked him out? Grow up.
You have a problem with that? Yeah.
My card got bent, and i need a replacement, please.
You have the paperwork to back that up? Why would i lie? Why would you come into work at dawn? Why are you here? I'm always here.
Do i know you? I'm the access guy.
Everybody knows the access guy.
If you tell me what this receipt is for, i'll go.
I'll leave you alone.
Anyone can fake a receipt.
You feel something-- i know it.
Now, i need to get up to the purpose floor.
I need you to make me a card.
Mmm.
Damn fine cake.
You know who you kinda remind me of? He looks like two.
Oh, you think so? mmm-hmm.
You could be a two double.
That'd be a great job.
Say, do you do a two impersonation? Oh.
no, go ahead-- say something in the two vein.
No, i-i am two.
No, really-- i-i am two.
Hmm yeah.
You do look a bit like him, But two's got those death cold eyes.
Hey, they're comin' here.
I told you, you can't be a man without a number here.
It is all right-- i am two.
No, you tell them that, They will blow your head right off-- come on.
Knock-knock.
How goes love's young dream? Always shining brightly, trembling with ardor.
Oh, dear.
Two? Not today.
Today, we are none of us who we appear to be.
I keep having this dream.
Take your burden to the lord and leave it there.
What if i were to tell you that there is another place? What? Would you care to see it? What? Would you dare to visit such a place? I-i don't know.
Very well.
Un-two will grant your wish, Whether you wish it or not.
Wh-why are you doing this? An imp for the perverse.
I don't wanna go anywhere.
I don't wanna go anywhere.
I don't wanna go anywhere.
I thought i'd lost you.
no.
I just wanted to walk.
You know, take it all in.
I want to go to the other place.
Oh, i don't think so.
Village is best for us.
It is possible to go there.
Yeah, but why would you want to When we have the village? What did you see when you walked? I saw what happens when i'm awake.
I saw the holes.
But if that's what it's like, why don't we leave? Because On-only some people can go there, you know, To-to the other place.
Who can go there? Who? people that exist there.
People-people that were brought here That weren't born here.
People who weren't born here Like me.
yeah, but it's enough, isn't it? No.
Please, don't-don't go-- don't-don't Please, let-- just let us talk.
I mean It's our day.
are you hiding? not from me, i hope.
You wish.
Uh, now, which-which one are you? The one you can trust.
have you ever felt so alone That you find yourself lost one day? Have you? shh.
i'm sorry.
2 times 6 will try to get close to your father.
he will pose as six.
So, i must get to your father first Before two times six does.
Where will two be? My father has gone out into the village.
But you know where he'll be where he might go.
Yes.
the village church.
you know who i am, don't you? You are two times six.
And yet, you tell me where to find him.
He wanted me to decide.
I am decided.
Are you six? if i was two times six, you'd know it by now.
Yes.
What have i done? Yes, sit with me, hmm? the world is not a pretty thing When you look at it too close.
We fell in love with atrocity.
We make pornography and call it news.
A daily fix of horror.
We think the coming disaster Is going to be ecological, That the problem is political, but no.
No, the great war is psychological.
It's in here-- puhkk.
We have made ourselves Into fat and faded wheezing animals, Educated in apathy, amused by cruelty.
So, this We make a new world, something human.
And yet, there is a whispering in my ear That tells me i was wrong, they were right, And the savages-savages-savages had it right all along.
I wanted you to come.
I wanted you to-to wipe out my guilt.
You were right.
You are the way-- become hatred, Become vengeance.
Yes, i respect that.
Kill me.
I see the logic in that.
And i'm not afraid at all because we know, You and i, how it is to be human.
We must submit to the beast in man.
I tell you this because i know who you are.
You are not six.
Can you still kill me, if you understand the purpose? Yes.
don't give him what he wants.
Oh, dear six, you're too late.
If you do this, we are lost.
he will take the thing that keeps him from owning us, our conscience.
Words change nothing! You hear me? Words change nothin'! I know that-- i accept that.
I have to accept you.
don't make us become the thing we fear.
if we are one, then we can defeat two.
One? Come back.
It was only when your father and i Embarked on this adventure that-that i decided, Oh, i want-- that i realized what a beautiful thing It would be to have a child.
We were gonna be a real family, Together like this every day.
is there no other way? Every time i wake up, these holes, just empty.
Oh, look at us, the two of us.
I-- Stay with-- Ugh! Ah.
Oh.
Don't you know the real two When he is back amongst us? Well, i like their enthusiasm.
I thought they might knee me in the face And stamp on my brain.
Still, perhaps another time.
Let me tell you where you can properly direct Your exuberance.
Would you like me to tell you Who our two impersonator really is? Oh, please-please, help me.
They've been saying i've been impersonating two.
purpose floor access granted.
These people, they're my subjects.
hey, that's me.
A lot of people trying to get in, ya know? Is that me? They'd kill for my job.
When did this happen? How did it happen? I started this.
I found these people, and i put them into my reports.
I did this.
I'm sorry.
I have to go.
what if i were to tell you that there is another place? Nobody resigns from summakor nobody.
They're selling tickets for your execution, michael, But they're calling it a promotion.
someone's trying to get inside.
There is a place, another place.
would you care to see it? it's where they sent them.
it's where they sent me and you.
whatever you do, stay away from summakor.
Hey! Look up here!
