Trains and

You've never been

Are you okay?

What the hell

Hey-hey-hey.

Where am i--
the whole place?

You're in
the village...

Where else

Are you sick
or something?

I must be.

I can't seem to get
a hold of any of this.

(dog barking)

They're after me.

Hey, where to

Drive--
just drive!

Okay.

i'd lost you.

(laughing)

you know this
job is crazy.

The hours i do, man,
i never see my wife,

Never see my kid.

I have got to
get outta this.

You understand?

Yeah.

Is that your
little girl?

oh, yeah!

that's my 8-3-2.

Hey, let
me tell you,

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
are beef noodle wrap

And warm feta
salad wrap

And for dessert,
we have my own favorite

Cinnamon fig
and honey wrap.

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!

(two)
get up and walk.

h-how can i get up?

how can i walk?

how long have
i been here?

you know
you are six.

please, i'm nobody.

I don't know
anything, please!

but you do...

you are six...

you are village...

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)
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!

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...

16.
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!
