I think his exact words were:

"If necessary, I will strike and take in tow".

They sent me to bring Pembroke back to New York!

According to his boss, Mr. Green ...

the Securities and Exchange Commission is investigating.

You are with them.

Listen to what he says, Mr. Lockhart.

You are not right.

Stop saying that!

- Let us help. - Do not come!

I know from experiments.

Baron and his wife.

He has been spending time with Ms. Watkins.

Who is Watkins?

He was in a psychiatric before reaching us.

The others follow the current ...

but Mr. Lockhart disease makes it susceptible to their plots.

I know what they intend to do. All of you.

They want to make me think I'm crazy.

I've seen this.

It is fairly common.

Childhood trauma ingrained comes to the surface ...

something that the patient has fled his entire life.

It is the case ...

I would say it is a wrong feeling of guilt ...

by the death of his father.

How do you know that? I never told.

He did not have to.

That's why he came to us, right?

I will.

Pembroke is dead.

That's what all this is about?

Am I the evil doctor who murders his patients?

Exactly.

Agree. We should consult with Mr. Pembroke.

Do you know this man?

He tried to take me back against my will.

Pembroke?

Please let me Keep it away.

You're dead.

Will you raise a fee?

It will not be necessary.

Mr. Lockhart is not a criminal.

He's a patient.

Council members.

I was sent here for a purpose.

Take a man against his will ...

and take it back to their world.

But now I see ...

I'm not here for that reason.

There is a disease within each of us.

We endeavor to deny its existence ...

with lies ...

and distractions.

Until one day the body rebels against the mind and shouts:

"I'm not well".

You can not ignore the truth that has been.

You can not ignore the truth that has been.

You can not go back to the dark ...

or go blind when you have had the gift of sight ...

Like you can not reverse being born.

F***.

Hannah!

Get away.

- Hannah. - Get away.

- We must go. - Get away!

Ready. Everything is fine. Enjoy your dinner.

Hannah?

What did you do?

What is happening to me?

Calm calm.

Everything is fine. You're safe.

Leave her alone.

And he altered enough, right?

Accompany the patient to his room.

I'm not a patient, dammit!

Come!

Come!

Already he got tired of disabled and elderly? Experience with me!

Stop! Mr. Lockhart ...

I see you're very upset.

Join me in my office ...

- and we talk about what you think. - Do not.

I speak here.

Front of everyone.

I do not think it's a good idea.

The is sick.

This place is sick!

It is water.

Sr. Lockhart.

I saw the dried bodies as mummies!

Look how they are!

Be their teeth fall out!

They're dying and they do not realize!

But I came for the cure.

There's no cure!

Do not you understand?

He's getting sick!

You. They are not sick!

It would be better not do that.

They are not sick.

Yes.

Yes!

That's!

Stand up!

Come on!

Yes!

Stand up!

He's getting sick!

Yes, well. Come on.

So!

They're not sick!

- I'm not well. - I'm not well.

I'm not well.

What do they do?

What do they do?

Sultenme!

No no no!

Sultenme.

Help me! Help!

Pembroke.

Pembroke.

What did they do?

What did I?

I had never felt better.

Quiet, Mr. Lockhart.

All be over soon.

Yes. They are extraordinary creatures.

Elsewhere in the world, this species lives 12 years at most.

Here in our aquifer ...

They can live 300.

For human physiology ...

the effects of water can be quite toxic, as has been seen.

Unless properly filtered.

Baron devised the process.

Using bodies of peasants from their land ...

managed to distill water ...

his life-giving essence.

Of course, he paid a very high price for their ingenuity.

His only mistake ...

He was used subjects against their will.

Fortunately, times have changed.

The last 200 years have been the most productive of human history.

The man got rid of God ...

hierarchies, everything made sense ...

until he finally venerate the empty altar of his own ambition.

Why they come here.

Men like you.

You're right, Mr. Lockhart.

Nobody ever goes.

I do not understand is that nobody wants to do.

Do you know what the cure for the human condition?

The illness.

Because only then there is hope for a cure.

I do not understand.

For many years, I tried to protect you ...

impurities from the outside world.

But ironically, we must thank your friend Mr. Lockhart.

You're a woman.

But I'm not right.

And I will always be here to take care.

It woke up.

You made me believe I could leave here someday.

Why would anyone want to leave?

What's going on?

Friend.

What is this place?

Here was your beginning.

I do not want.

You know?

identical to her lights on their wedding night.

She does not know

The night they snatched me.

The villagers took the fetus and threw him into the aquifer.

The creature survived.

- Please no. - Do not be afraid.

Soon we will be a family.

As always we should be.

Quiet.

My sister also resisted at first.

But after a while, he came to like.

We tried many times to do something pure.

And that something was you, my love.

And now...

we can begin again.

I've waited so long.

So long.

I'll hold. Yes?

Yes.

You can not keep you here forever.

No?

And what do you think it would be in your world?

People like you get in over their disposable lives.

She is your daughter.

What about you loved?

What have you sacrificed?

This is what gives the outside world.

He is right.

No.

No.

Fire. Fire!

Everything I've built has been for her.

Do you think someone like you would destroy it?

Dad?

Hannah.

VISITING HOURS ENDING

Awe, right?

Lockhart!

It's time to go.

- It's okay? - Gosh!

Chill chill.

Lockhart?

OMG.

What did you do?

Where is Pembroke?

No longer.

What do you mean "is no longer"?

Get in the car.

You came here to do something, remember?

Get in the car.

Did you hear what I said?

Have you gone crazy?

Actually...

I feel better.

Where the hell are you going?

Lockhart! Lockhart!
