This Is Not My Life (2010) s01e06 Episode Script

1 I tried to get it out, Alec, but I couldn't.
- Kyle.
- They're going to take me somewhere.
To a special hospital.
- Kyle! - Go! - Harry? - I blocked the chip.
- Mr.
Ross.
Where's Kyle? As you can see Kyle is much better now.
He doesn't have to go away anymore.
Kyle is fine.
Oh, not that Kyle, the one before him.
The crazy one.
Perhaps I should prescribe you a mild antidepressant.
I'm not depressed.
What about these feelings that you don't belong, that you were put here for some purpose? That this isn't really your life? It was just a crazy idea.
Have you got a sharp knife? There.
Go home, Alec.
It's a pretty good life, isn't it? Not until you tell me what's going on here.
One moment, please.
Kia ora, Safeway security options.
Yes, Dr.
Collins, Wellness.
How can I help you, Dr.
Collins? I'm trying to do a follow-up on a recent client.
Certainly.
Name, please.
Kyle Steiner.
One moment, please.
Dr.
Williams is currently on leave.
Please leave a detailed message after the tone Cancel.
Hi there.
I thought we weren't doing this.
Oh, what's wrong with a glass of wine between friends? Really? Is that what it is? I had to see you.
It's driving me crazy.
Going through the motions, home, work.
It seems so pointless.
The men at the club used to say things like that.
Are you saying you think I'm the same? No.
But if they dialed out the life they wanted, then why do they even need to? I don't know, maybe the system's not perfect.
However you plan it, maybe people still need more.
Yeah.
Maybe they do.
The wife? Dr.
Collins.
- Natasha.
- Meet me.
- When? - Now.
Make an excuse.
Wouldn't be smart.
The Tarot bar.
Maybe she just wants to buy me a drink.
You can't trust her.
Tell me about the last time you saw Kyle Steiner.
Uh, soccer with my son.
Or do you mean the other Kyle? I saw a terrified kid being hunted down, and then he disappeared.
What else? - What did you find out? - Nothing.
Then why am I even here? Alec, sit down.
I want to know what happened to Kyle as much as you do, and the fact that I can't bothers me greatly.
So if there is anything that you're holding back, then I suggest you stop playing games and talk to me.
There were two guys in uniforms chasing Kyle.
Another guy shot them.
What? Yeah.
And then some more guys arrived and killed him.
Three men, shot dead right in front of my eyes.
I'm sorry.
Do you know who I am? No.
But I'm not Alec Ross, am I? For some reason, your file is blocked, and I don't have access.
- Why not? - I don't know.
What's Eugene? - Where did you hear that? - You first.
I think I've said enough.
Oh, you haven't told me a damn thing.
I am going to find Kyle, but you have to be patient.
Enjoy your cherry.
Ta-da.
Yummy.
- That's stuff.
- What? It's a perfectly good quaffing red.
- You're so cheap.
- Oh, my God.
If we ever get like that, please just shoot me.
Hey, Kyle.
Hey.
Hey, you good? Dad.
Can Kyle have lunch with us? Hey, Mr.
Ross.
Yeah, no problem.
Sweet.
Yeah, go! Jessica.
Hey.
Sorry I didn't make it back last night.
Why didn't you call me? - When? - Last night.
I had no idea what had happened to you, if you were okay.
I'm sorry, it was really late and I didn't You haven't got a clue, have you? I wasn't able to sleep with that thing in my bed, - messing with my head.
- I know.
It's not like I can call you at home.
I know.
I'm really sorry.
It's fine.
- Maybe I could come - Hey, Dad.
Well, you head down that path, it's second on the right, can't miss it.
Great.
Thanks for everything.
Good morning.
Richard Foster, region director, Safeway Security Options.
Dr.
Collins.
Yes.
I should have done this earlier, but my predecessor's sudden departure left things a little up in the air.
I don't think I ever met your predecessor.
Oh.
Well, I can assure you I'll be much more hands on.
You had an inquiry about a transferred client, Kyle Steiner.
I was following up.
It's my understanding that once a client leaves Waimoana, then they're no longer of your concern.
He was an interesting case.
Do you have a problem with the service? No.
It's not for me to decide who is or isn't suitable for the Waimoana lifestyle.
I leave that to the professionals, such as your good self, Dr.
Collins.
However, once the decision has been made it's my job to make sure that the transfer happens as smoothly as possible.
Yes, of course, I understand.
Well, it's been a real pleasure.
E noho rā, Dr.
Collins.
I'm sorry, I didn't mean to No, no, no, it's quite all right.
What is that music? Dvorak, it's a cello concerto, B minor.
This part is particularly stirring, don't you think? It's amazing.
Access psychological profiles.
One moment, please.
Clients currently under review.
Request file, Jessica Wilmot.
I understand.
Hi.
Potato salad and a couple of sausages with my trademark charcoal coating.
It's the thought that counts.
Come in.
I want to show you something.
Works for me.
- I'm still annoyed at you.
- Why? Don't tell me you're jealous of me and Natasha.
Do you recognize this? No.
But I like it.
This old man was playing it in the park.
I've never heard it before, but I know it.
I knew what was coming next, every single note.
You remembered it.
No.
It's more like, it was already there, in my head or in my fingers, like how you're such a clever dick with computers.
So you think you played it.
I know that lap dancers don't usually play cello, but You played cello? Yes.
You got a problem with that? No, no.
Cello, good.
It's hard.
Well, it was the first thing that popped into my head.
You know what I think? That I was probably an usher or a restaurant maitre d'.
I think, yeah.
It's just great to sit here with you and feel real.
Right now, I don't care either.
It's probably Gordy.
He keeps telling me he's not tracking me.
But I know.
What? Jessica Wilmot, Wellness.
We're here to collect you for your appointment.
- Miss Wilmot.
- I don't have an appointment.
You do according to our log.
Right.
Well, just give me a minute, I'll be right down.
Wait till I'm gone.
Why am I here? - You missed your last check-up.
- No, I didn't.
Right arm, please.
How have you been getting on? Fine.
What about those feelings we discussed last time, that you didn't fit in, that you didn't belong.
Oh, I'm a bit embarrassed, actually, that I ever thought those crazy thoughts.
Tell me about you and Alec Ross.
He's a friend.
Unrequited feelings for someone else can make you feel sad.
I'm not sad.
And I've got a boyfriend.
- Really? - Gordy.
Gordon Leach, he's in Personal Systems.
- It's an important position.
- Your hemoglobin and serotonin levels are low.
That might be making you feel a little under.
What are you doing? This is just a very mild antidepressant.
I'm not depressed.
Being unaware of your own condition is one of the key indicators.
Right arm again, please.
If we're going to make things better, we need to work together.
Thank you.
Hey.
Um, I know you said you wanted time out and I respect that.
I do.
I just wanted you to know that I was thinking about you and if you ever wanted to call or anything that I was available 24/7, okay? They're chrysanthemums.
That's all I wanted to say really.
Oh, Gordy, you're such a dick.
Hi, Alec.
Hi.
What happened? Dr.
Collins was worried about me.
Okay.
Maybe she really does care, or maybe it's these bloody drugs.
- What drugs? - Antidepressants.
Don't worry, I still know which way is up, and I'm not sure if I really trust her, but it sure does take the edge off.
Look, it's a bit hard for me to get away right now.
Don't tell me you're married.
Oh, my God, that changes everything.
Are you sure you're okay? Yeah.
Probably just need a good sleep.
I'll see you tomorrow at work.
Yeah, yeah, okay.
Dad! Dad! Yeah, coming, sweetheart.
You're in a good mood.
I can't complain, eh.
Nice to see you happy for a change.
Maybe I am.
Hey.
Are you okay? Yeah, um, just I feel Please just call Alec.
Please just call Alec Ross.
What happened? What's wrong? Alec, she poisoned me.
- Who did? - Dr.
Collins.
She said it was nothing and I believed her.
I just can't hold - Oh, shit.
- Sir.
Sorry.
Hello, Jessica.
Do you know where you are? You did this to me.
- I'm here to help.
- She's lying.
What did you give her? Nothing that should warrant this kind of reaction.
Jessica, have you taken anything else? You know I haven't.
Oh, shit, I can't.
I can't.
Alec, can you hold her still? Don't touch me.
Stay away! Jessica, please calm down.
- No one is going to hurt you.
- Please don't let her! It's okay.
Jess, it's okay.
You're making it worse.
Just Just calm down.
What have you done? Just calm down.
Just calm down.
Oh, my God.
You're one of them.
No, I'm not.
You liar.
You liar! Jessica, you're ill.
Darling, you need help.
Restrain her! Hold on.
Wait.
No one will hurt you.
Don't lock me up! Don't lock me up! It's a relatively new drug but I'm not aware of these kind of side effects.
Why was she on it in the first place? Because she's mentally unstable depressed.
Are you aware that she has suicidal impulses? No, no, she has never said anything about suicide.
Maybe she doesn't tell you everything.
Do you tell her everything, Alec? She knows about Kyle.
She knows he was replaced.
That's unfortunate.
- Unfortunate.
- Go home.
No, not till I know she's gonna be okay.
It might draw unwanted attention to your friendship.
Look, I'm head of Human Resources.
She's an employee, so I've got a legitimate purpose You being here only creates more problems.
I will take good care of her.

Request file, Gordon Leach.
Hi.
Sorry, go back to sleep.
I wasn't sleeping.
Is everything okay? One of the staff had a bit of a mental breakdown, I guess you could say, and I went with her to Wellness.
And that's your job? I'm HR manager.
And I guess I identified with her a bit, after my accident.
That's very kind of you.
Yeah.
Um, you know what? I'm still a bit wound up.
I'm gonna read downstairs, eh? Or I know what will get your mind off it.
Gordy, what are you Doctor said it was best if there was someone here when you woke up, for support.
Hello, Jessica.
How are you feeling? Take me home.
Oh, I don't think that's such a good idea.
You want to support, so support.
Well, I've started you on a new drug regime, so everything should be fine as long as there's someone keeping an eye on you.
Gordy, get my clothes.
Hey, you kept them.
They should be in water though.
You can go now.
But the doctor said that I should stay, so I can take care of myself.
Just Jess? Jessica? I knew it was too soon.
I'll take you back in.
- No.
- I'll call Dr.
Collins.
No, don't do that! - Jess.
Jess.
- She's one of them.
It's not Jess, that was the name that was given to me, but it's not me.
I'm not crazy, Gordy, you are, and you don't even know it.
No, no, no, it's all right.
Calm down.
Okay, I have to take you back in.
- No.
- We have to go.
- No.
- Come on, don't be silly.
No, no, I'll prove it to you.
And I want an exciting job like a spy or something, like James Bond, you know, with a beautiful girlfriend.
Can I ask for that? What's this? Alec found it.
You think this is your life, but it's not.
It's bullshit.
It was something you ordered up, it was made for you.
I was made for you.
Maybe I save her and she loves me for it because I'm a hero.
And even though she's had a really hard life, she's still a beautiful flower.
Turn it off.
Like in that old movie, you know This proves that you were somewhere else before, that you wanted a new life.
Turn it off.
You can help me.
We can help each other.
No, no.
I have I need I need to think.
No, Gordy.
Gordy, wait! She got discharged? When was this? Can I speak to Dr.
Collins? No, no, no message.
Okay, thanks.
She's better, your employee? Might be.
Kids are waiting.
- Sure.
- I'll bring some lemonade.
- - Oh.
Hi, this is Alec.
I cannot take your call right now.
Please leave a message.
Hi, it's me.
If you get this message, I I'm sorry I messed up.
You can handle it here and and I can't, so Kia ora, if you are a new user, please say new user.
New user.
Jessica Wilmot, where are we off to today? She's not here, and there's no sign of her.
And what about her support person, Gordon Leach? Not here either, and he's not taking calls.
That's unfortunate.
Stand by for further instructions.
Safeway security options.
This is Dr.
Collins.
I have a mentally unstable patient who was due to be transferred to the Gaulton treatment facility this evening.
Unfortunately, she's gone missing, and will need to be located and retrieved.
Natasha.
If you want to help Jessica, you'll do exactly as I say.
There is not much time.
This vehicle is no longer authorized.
Damn it! Please return to grid of origin.
This vehicle will cease operations.
Shut up! The vehicle is coming to a halt.
The vehicle is coming to a halt.
Come on! Please await assistance.
Please await assistance.
I got nothing to say to you.
Jessica is in trouble.
She showed me who I was, what I was before.
- You saw it? - Yeah.
It's got to be crap, a mistake.
That was you, Gordy.
That was the real you and you got the life you wanted.
No, that guy was a freak and a loser.
And you wanted to save the girl, be the good guy? - This is your chance.
- Piss off and leave me alone.
This might all be crap, but she isn't and she needs you.
Now I can track her, but I need to know what I'm dealing with.
Who else is involved? How the hell can you track some Does it matter if you care about her? That's it.
But she shouldn't, that whole area is restricted.
What's that? Shit, they're right on top of her.
- I'm coming with you.
- Let's go.
It's okay.
Calm down.
Calm down.
It's all right.
Left ahead.
Oh, shit.
You know where they're heading? Yeah, it's a contaminated area.
What are you doing? Blocking our tracker ID.
You can do that? Yeah, but only for 2 hours.
If the signal stops moving for longer than that They think you're hurt or dead.
I know.
It was my job to send the alert.
They're just ahead.
They didn't waste, eh? Come on, stop mucking about.
I'm just saying.
Are we in much of a hurry? Eh? Is she okay? Yeah, she's alive.
Pulse has dropped.
Jess.
Jess, are you okay? I'm here now.
Oh, Jess.
We need to get out of here.
Who did this? Who's behind this? Who do you work for? Is it Eugene? Is it Eugene? What is this place? We got 25 minutes before they start looking for us.
And we need to get her out of here.
Come on.
What's happening? Shh.
Close your eyes, it's okay.
We're back online.
How many do you think there were? How many bodies? I don't know.
Shit! It doesn't make any sense.
I mean, there's got to be somebody we can alert.
No, nothing changes.
We act normal.
Normal? They'll be looking twice as closely now.
Okay? Stay with her.
What are you gonna do? There's someone I need to talk to.
Alec, I'm so sorry.
Forget it.
Did you know about this? Did you know? Isn't that Kyle? Yes, Kyle.
You must have known.
No, I tried to find him and I kept getting blocked.
So you used us? You used Jessica? She wasn't supposed to be left alone.
You killed them.
You killed Kyle.
No.
The same as if you threw him in that pit yourself! He was supposed to be in a secure facility getting the best possible care.
- Oh, bullshit! - Oh, you do not remember! You don't know what it is like outside.
Everything is flung apart.
Nothing justifies that.
I think you should go now.
Not till you tell me what's going on here.
Waimoana is a fresh start.
We can't keep making the same mistakes.
So emotional baggage, memories, they have to be excised, otherwise we would end up in the same mess as before.
How does it work? I don't know the exact details.
- You're lying to me.
- Think what you like.
What about that drug you gave Jessica? Short-acting.
It will be gone by tomorrow.
And what about her, will she be gone by tomorrow? The best chance for you and Jessica now is for you to tell me exactly what happened.
Natasha, now is not a good time.
The client was attacked by your men.
Attacked? The young woman I requested to be transferred to Gaulton.
Two of your men took her out into the middle of nowhere.
It's obvious what they had in mind.
Fortunately, she was able to make her own escape.
Was she alone? That's hardly the point.
If your information proves correct And it will.
I can assure you that the men involved will be disciplined.
Reassigned, I think, is the word you're looking for.
Perhaps.
Can I ask how she's doing? Stable.
Thank you.
I can assure you that the next transfer will go without a hitch.
That won't be necessary.
I've re-assessed her case, and I now believe she will respond to treatment.
That's your area of expertise, not mine.
Given mistakes were made on both sides here, I'm prepared to keep this between us.
I appreciate the thought.
Good.
Keep your head down.
Go home.
Send the clean-up team to meet me.
I want a list of all of Dr.
Collin's patients, and the relevant security flags.
Don't worry, they're gone.
You're safe now.
What happened? Me and Alec sorted it.
Alec is he here? He's taking care of some business.
I'm sorry.
I took off before.
- It won't happen again.
- It's okay.
I will make it up to you.
I promise.
I mean, if it's my fault that you are here, it's up to me to help.
You really want to? Yeah.
Anything.
Care for a cup of tea? Alec, dinner's ready.
Coming!
