Can I help you?

Who are you?

I'm Chloe, Chloe Richards. Why?

It's Frank, isn't it?

We were f-fighting the last time

we saw each other.

That's why he left because, you know,

he takes off sometimes.

He doesn't like confrontation.

So-. It's all right.

Doc? This is Miss Richards.

She seems to know our mystery man.

He's, he's not remembering

anything at all?

Well, how to throw a punch.

Miss Richards?

Does Frank work for the government

in any capacity, as far as you know?

Yeah, he's a supervisor for the

IRS in Chicago.

The IRS?

Well, I know, he was just having

some nightmares before and-.

Probably best to play along,

keep him positive for the moment.

All right. Just-?

Can I see him by myself for a minute?

Oh, sure.

One, one minute.

You got a visitor.

Hi, Frank.

Frank? You called me Frank?

That's your name. Frank Kavanaugh.

Franklin Thomas Kavanaugh.

Uh, Maybe you have the wrong room?

No.

No. You-.

You don't remember me?

No.

That's o-. I'm, Chloe, your fiance.

I'm really sorry. I don't f-, I don't-.

It's, it's okay.

I don't remember you.

United States Secret Service.

I'd like to report a possible threat

to the president.

What department, sir?

I would like to report a threat

to the president.

I don't know what department.

The Threat to the president Department.

Are you making a threat, sir?

No, I'm not a, I'm not threatening.

I'm a, I'm warning.

- What is your name and your location?

- Please, I don't, it doesn't matter.

- What's your name, sir?

- My name is Frank.

Last name, sir?

Kavanaugh.

What's your occupation?

I don't know. What do I do? Is-?

- You work for the IRS.

- I work for the IRS.

Thank you, sir.

I'm gonna have to put you on hold.

Please don't put me on hold.

This is, please, please, le-.

Rhombus.

What was that?

I don't know.

You don't know who you were calling?

Standard encryption.

Voice activated.

I think it's a page.

Frank...what are you doing?

Will you get back in bed?

Does he know what happened to him?

Well, actually, he's kind of off the wall.

What if there's some truth to

what he's telling us?

Uh, people with memory loss often

overcompensate for what we call...

the memory vacuum.

Their minds fill in the gaps in order

to create a comfort-based reality.

If they can't remember

what they did for a living,

they can conveniently create one.

They were a, a football player...

or a cop or-.

Secret agent?

Jack, exactly.

It could be the last movie he saw

or book he read in the eighth grade.

The mind is an unpredictable machine.

There's absolutely nothing....

suspicious in that transaction.

Yeah, well. Somethin'

will rear its ugly head sooner or later.

Memory loss is a tricky thing.

When it returns, if it returns,

it usually starts with flashes...

and comes on in a flood.

Of course, there can be side effects.

Side effects.

Blackouts,

nausea varying degrees of tremors.

But if you agree to take it easy...

no traveling for a few days until...

we're totally in the clear I see no

reason why he can't check outta here.

Well, that's good news, isn't it?

Just sign right here.

Hi. I'm Frank.

But I wear a suit to work.

Are you happy?

Possible side effects.

There are people out there.

There are people out there-.

I haven't seen him before.

Not quite myself.

He's being released today.

Don't worry. We'll find'em. Fine.

All is one.

Thank you.

That's not-. That doctor was-.

Probably just your nerves. It'll go away.

Yeah. It's probably these shoes.

Your favorites.

You don't like 'em?

They don't fit right.

You don't have to wear them.

I know-. I'm sorry.

It's okay.

You want to wear your slippers?

All right. I'm sorry.

It's okay.

There you go.

Those will feel better.

Hi, Sheriff.

So, I hear the doc's gonna

let you take a walk, huh?

Yeah.

Well, let's get something clear,

you know, Frank.

You're my only eye

witness to an attempted murder.

You understand that, don't you?

If any little thing starts coming

back to you...

you know, you gotta,

I need to know about it.

Of course.

I mean, we can't allow you to

be leaving town.

No, we know that. Yeah.

We don't have any need for

this anymore.

I thought maybe you could use it.

Man shouldn't be without

a good hat in this country.

Yeah. Stay in touch.

Now, you got my members.

Thanks, Sheriff.

Wanna go?

We were on our way to Mexico, the ocean.

Planned on spending some time

without your friends.

So I have friends you don't like?

No. I just wanted to have you to

myself for awhile.

Mexico is a long way from Chicago.

That's exactly...what I said.

I don't want to go straight to the hotel.

Frank, come on.

People don't just wait for accidents.

That's why they're called accidents.

Something's gonna happen.

Right here.

I feel it.

Just let the sheriff do his job.

This is not the sheriff's job.

There's some-.

What if they know that I'm not dead?

What if they come back?

Not exactly the lap of luxury.

What are you doing?

Nothing.

You want something to drink,

some water or something?

Does it jog any memories?

Frank I mean, you remember

anything from the day you left?

I was thinking maybe if I,

showed you some pictures it might

help you in some way. Here.

It's your medication.

This is us with the gang.

These are friends.

That's Anne and Grant.

You have a nice um, laugh.

Thank you. This is us in, Costa Rica.

Waterfall we found...

when we were walking in a rainforest.

It's gorgeous there.

I remember you really like the monkeys.

Hi, Tom.

Hi, Jack.

Whatchoo up to?

What can I do for ya?

Mind if I look at your register?

- Thank you.

- What do you need?

Do you know if a little skinny girl

came through here about six days ago?

Black hair?

Little. Pretty girl. Kinda skinny?

I don't know

when she's come through here.

Can't remember.

There she is. Chloe.

Missing yesterday's page?

There's a page missing.

Let's see.

Well, son of a b*tch.

Just noticed that, huh?

Yeah.

United States Secret Service.

Okay. You understand who we are?

We know about your situation.

We know what you said.

Can you explain it?

Did you threaten the president?

I didn't...threaten him.

I'm here to warm him about the president.

- He's in danger.

- From who and where?

Well, there's a,

from someone...someplace.

That's what we have to f-find

out...about.

And th-, I... there are three men.

And I...the three men, there's a...

if you draw a circle around...

wherever the president is,

and anyone that's different.

Anyone new to the area.

Any behavior that's odd

you've got to check out.

So, I don't know how I know this.

But I think how I know

is that the, because,

because I've been fed

information by the IRS.

The Internal Revenue Service?

Yes, the IRS. I work for the IRS and,

and we all know

that they know everything.

Look, Mr. Kavanaugh.

What you're saying is very serious.

- Well, I, I know.

- It's a federal offense.

I really get a strong, strong feeling
