Never see my kid.

Hey, let

I got her this
little bike, right?
Man, i have never seen
anything like it.
What did you say
her name was?
Name, it's, uh,
it's 8-3-2.
If i asked you
to take me to 554--
Well, i'd say
"now, you're talkin'."
(knocking on door)
She's over there.
Uh, specials tonight

And warm feta

And for dessert,
we have my own favorite
Cinnamon fig

Do you have anything
that's not a wrap?
Why would we?
I'll stick with a coffee
for now-- thank you.
can i have one
coffee, please?
I actually have
a message for you,
From an old man.
93?
yeah.
Is he okay?
He wanted me to tell
you, "he got away."
he said i had
to find you.
No, please, uh, don't
involve me in this.
Involve you
in what?
Who is this guy
and why was--
Why was he being
chased by those--
I don't know
what they are,
but they're
after me now.
Uh, he was just a drunk
who used to come here
And talk lots
of crazy talk--
if he's got himself
into some kind of trouble,
That's got nothing
to do with me.
(whispering)
i have to go.
I can't let them
see me with you.
Why did he want
me to find you?
He must've
had a reason?
He got away.
Yes.
I didn't
believe him.
I didn't
believe.
(dogs barking)
go out through
the back.
(police siren blaring)
(metal object clinking)
(man)
uh, please, help me
get outta here!

I don't know
anything, please!
but you do...

The truth is right
inside you, six.
(whispering)
(two)
look-look!
It's you.
And i thought you just
wanted to dance with me.
H-how long
have i been here?
Well, you've been
sleeping a while.
I thought
i was dyin'.
(whispering)

What's happening
to me?
I wish you
didn't fight it.
Fight what?
Please, let
me help you.
I don't want
your help, lady--
I want to get
the hell outta here.
Look, here's what's
gonna happen--
I'm gonna fetch
you a cold drink
And then, someone is
gonna take you home.
You're a free man.
(phone ringing)
I'd like to speak to
the american council, please.
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?
512.
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!
Human beings can be so cruel.
after you?
Something
happened to me.

It's you.
And i thought you just
wanted to dance with me.
H-how long
have i been here?
Well, you've been
sleeping a while.
I thought
i was dyin'.
(whispering)
help me.
What's happening
to me?
I wish you
didn't fight it.
Fight what?
Please, let
me help you.
I don't want
your help, lady--
I want to get
the hell outta here.
Look, here's what's
gonna happen--
I'm gonna fetch
you a cold drink
And then, someone is
gonna take you home.
You're a free man.
(phone ringing)
I'd like to speak to
the american council, please.
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?
512.
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!
Human beings can be so cruel.
