Chrysalis Page #3

---

I was proud to be promoted.

Wrong, Lt. Becker.

I needed someone reliable

to oversee a delicate mission.

We needed David to find Nicolov.

Since David is unstable,

your uncle paired him

with someone trustworthy.

Someone trustworthy?

That's called a rat!

Marie...

So tell me why Intelligence

and the European Police

are in cahoots.

About a year ago,

a secret Army lab invented

a technique

for digitalizing human memory.

"Chrysalis" allows us

to stock a person's memories

and if need be,

to remove them from his brain.

And eventually to create

human memory from scratch.

No need to tell you the potential.

I don't see the connection

with Nicolov.

It's that Nicolov stole the machine

several months ago.

Yeah, sure...

Nicolov left

the Bulgarian secret service

for a life in organized crime.

He has everyone bidding

on this apparatus.

Just imagine.

A group of terrorists

conditioning an army of kamikazes

with the memory of a fanatic.

Or an aging tyrant

transferring his memory

to a younger body

to extend his reign.

A few weeks ago,

Intelligence lost track of Nicolov.

David's investigation

offered us the opportunity

to combine our talents.

Please,

spare me the ode

to Europol independence.

He used you and you know it.

We need you.

It's in your interest and his.

We can get his memory back.

Chysalis is not 100/ effective.

Neurologists observed

that even repeated sessions

still leave an inner core

of memories that cannot be erased.

Our worst pains

stick with us

longer than our good memories.

Anyway,

by reactivating these traumas

we can start rebuilding

someone's memory.

So in fact

you need me

to trigger his worst memories.

Is that what you're saying?

You probably know

how much Sarah meant to him.

You make me sick.

Our interests converge,

so why complain?

I'm to manipulate someone

who's lost everything.

Not manipulate. Help.

Like my uncle is helping you.

Maria Rosa, 8 and a half.

In ICU at a Mexican

military hospital.

Congenital cardiac insufficiency,

in serious decline.

Three heart attacks,

two resulting in motor lesions.

The operation consists

of replacing an aortic valve.

Window.

Music.

Light.

What happened here?

You were attacked.

You want to eat?

A bullet wound.

From a shoot-out.

Were you there?

Not me. Sarah.

The one in the picture?

Was she my wife?

Yes.

Is she dead?

Yes.

You know the worst part?

I can't even remember

the woman I loved.

Are you okay?

Does that mean

something to you? 7/4?

You need my memory too?

Like them.

Is that what you think?

That I'm using you?

It seems to be

the house specialty.

Whatever you want.

Unless you have a better idea.

Yes.

Finding Chrysalis.

Before they do... At Intelligence.

Just me and you.

And find Elena.

Dimitri Nicolov.

Thank him for your amnesia.

You and Sarah almost arrested him.

The scratch marks.

Why does he have 4 and me 7?

That's the 4/7.

The 4/7 at your place.

You figured it out.

Try turning up the brightness.

The hologram is too dense.

Dr. Brgen?

Go ahead. I'll see you later.

Becker and Hoffman,

European Police. Can we talk?

The patient you see on the screen

is waiting on another continent.

I understand. It's important.

Go ahead.

Why would a clinic

specializing in heart surgery

order several rare

eye-lid retractors?

What are you talking about?

Ask the person

in charge of purchasing.

He's on the first floor.

Now really,

if you don't mind, I want

to concentrate on the operation.

Dimitri?

Hoffman's here. With a colleague.

Go look after my daughter.

Right away.

Hello.

- What's his name?

- Ben.

You look like Manon!

How so?

Yeah! The stripes...

- Is Manon a patient here?

- Yes. Dr. Brgen's daughter.

My head hurts!

I'll get some pain reliever.

No, I'll be fine.

It'll help.

I said I'm fine!

Come on, get moving.

Move, I said!

Let her go!

What do you want?

What do you want?

Clara is wanted at reception.

Are you okay?

Clara, what's going on here?

Come see something.

Still here?

Haven't you had enough?

I forgot.

No memory.

Your mother really loves you.

She'd do anything

to get your memory back.

She let you partake

in an experiment.

You've been here before,

but only under anesthesia.

Why are you here?

Manon...

You're a monster!

I can explain.

- Let go.

- I can explain.

Let me explain!

Listen, I can...

It's not you!

It's just your body!

Fire alarm on the eighth floor.

Let me go!

The rest is in you!

It's you!

Take care of her!

Wait!

The transfer was starting to take.

Don't do it.

She lied to me.

She was lying from day one.

They lied to me as well.

They took all my memories.

All my past.

I don't know who I am.

Your name is Elena.

Your drawings blow me away.

You want Hoffman to get better?

I can help you

get his memory back. Here.

It's all here.

Agent Becker?

Your gun, Marie.

- Who are you?

- Intelligence.

Friend of your uncle's.

Give me your gun.

Please.

Thank you.

Against the wall.

On your knees.

It was you.

It was you by the canal.

The press is going to eat it up.

Intelligence saves a dangerous

criminal from the European Police.

You can explain what you did with

the guinea pigs Nicolov supplied.

Hats off to the Army.

They did a great job on Chrysalis.

Of course it's a copy.

You know what's at stake

with that machine?

It would have been catastrophic

had we lost it.

Obviously it would be

very awkward

for Intelligence

if anything happened to David.

Same goes for me, of course.

I'm going to disappear now.

I know.

Now that Elena is a threat to them,

she'll need protection.

From what I understand,

I'm good at that kind of thing.

I'm here.

She's learning who she is.

So am I.

It'll take some time.

The man I used to be

sort of scares me.

I'm not sure I want him back.

Marie...

Thanks.
