Curvature
(woman's voice) If you
could go anywhere,
any time, anywhere.
(man's voice) There's
nowhere else I'd rather be.
[serene music]
[gentle digital alarm]
[electronic
swelling sound]
(man's voice) Did those
guys give you enough time off?
Because I can talk to
them if you want me to.
A week was fine.
You sure it's a good idea
for you to be back in the
office this soon?
Right now, my choice is to
go to work or lie at home
and stare at the
ceiling, so...
These things take time to
process, that's all I'm saying.
I will be...
processing what he did
for the rest of my life.
Helen, I want to help you.
I-I don't see how
you can do that.
And there is also
something else that I
would like to ask you.
Everything your husband
and I have been doing, all
of our years of...
researching and dreaming
and planning and building...
You want to keep
going without him.
I wanted to ask you first.
We both know how strongly
Wells believed in this project.
Yes.
Well, he would want
me to finish it.
To follow through, and
And like you, I will miss
But at least I can do
this:
I can get our ideas,his ideas, out
in the world.
Helen, do I have your
blessing to do that?
Thank you.
It's what he
would've wanted.
[whale sounds playing
over headphones]
(muffled voice) Helen?
Helen? Helen!
Dice of destiny!
I'm sorry, what
did you say?
It's your roll this week!
Alex I...
My lunch hour is
in your hands.
Six times four.
Six times four...
twenty four.
Not bad.
[serene music]
[indistinct chatter]
(sighs)
Wanna show
'em how it's done?
I'm over the hill.
I wouldn't even
know where to start.
Oh, how are you honey?
You want some tea?
Scratch that.
I have some whiskey.
Sound better?
Much.
I can't believe it still
works after, what,
five years on a shelf?
Six.
Oh...
Okay, mostly works.
I was sure you were going
to fail me for this guy.
Wells had to
beg me not to.
Hm!
Funny.
You know, you could come
to the lab sometimes if
you wanted to.
Build things for fun.
For fun?
Sure.
Why not?
Listen, Florence.
- You don't have to...
- Oh please.
Here.
Any time you want.
[thunder crackles]
[peaceful music]
[haunting music]
[heavy wind sounds]
[mysterious music]
[stove starter clicks]
[phone rings]
[phone continues ringing]
(woman's voice on phone)
Get out.
What?
(woman) Now, Helen.
Wh...
[phone rings]
Who is this?
(woman) Stop wasting time!
What are you
talking about?
(woman) In about five
seconds, you'll see a
black BMW coming
down the street.
Do not let the man
in the car catch you.
My car's gone.
I don't understand.
(woman) Get out
before he can see you.
(woman) Sh*t!
(woman) Get back.
Stay low.
How do you know?
[knocking]
(man's voice at door)
Mrs. Phillips, I just want to
talk to you.
(woman) Don't
listen to him.
Who is he?
(woman) There isn't time.
Stay in the kitchen.
[lock clicks]
[tense music]
[shallow breathing]
(woman) Around the corner.
[tea kettle whining]
[tea kettle continues whining]
(woman) Easy...
Now!
Wait!
Back of the house!
Turn right!
[glass crunches]
Agh!
(woman) The house on your
right, behind the wall.
Now.
(woman) Easy.
[car honks]
(woman) Trust yourself
and nobody else.
[melodic phone ringtone]
Yeah?
(man's voice on phone)
Anything new?
Well, she's alive.
(man) And she's okay?
Physically?
Yeah.
(man) But...
Ahh, she took
off running.
Wouldn't let
me talk to her.
(man) She ran away?
Why?
Who knows why she's doing
anything right now.
I want to bring her in.
Find out where she's been.
(man) No, leave her alone.
Don't you want to know who
she's been talking to?
(man) All I care about
is that she's okay,
that she didn't hurt herself.
- But...
- I said, leave her alone.
(Kraviz) Fine.
Ah!
[tense music]
Alex?
Jesus.
Where have you been?
I saw...
I-I went to bed last
night, and when I woke up
this morning it was a week
later and I was wearing
these clothes and I
don't remember anything!
Whoa, whoa.
Slow down.
Where were you all week?
I don't know.
I was hoping you could tell me.
I haven't seen you
since last Friday.
Are you serious?
Yeah.
You said you were going
out to the cabin for the
weekend.
At first when you didn't
show up on Monday,
I figured you just
stayed out there.
I remember you
telling me that.
Okay, well, did you go?
I have no idea.
I remember I went to the
university lab after work,
and then I went home and
I went to sleep, and then
after that I woke up
this morning and then...
Nothing!
Have you talked to
anybody this morning?
No?
Nobody's called
asking about me.
No, nothing.
Here, take it easy.
Come on.
I missed the whole
week of work?
I called your house, your
cell, the cabin phone.
I went by your place too.
Nothing.
What happened?
I don't know.
I was so worried
about you.
Everybody was.
Because I was missing.
Yeah.
And because of Wells.
Say it.
It's only been
a month since...
Since it happened, okay?
People were
afraid for you.
That's all.
Anyway, come on.
Let's go.
Go where?
The hospital.
No, no.
I need to
figure out where I've been
and what I've been doing.
Helen...
I need you to take
me to the cabin.
Now? Why?
Okay, you don't have to
come, but let me borrow
your car.
Where's yours?
It's missing.
And so is the
key the cabin.
what happened is just
sitting out there
waiting for me.
[tense synth music]
I forgot how creepy
this place is.
Less people, more deer.
Better for hunting.
You never told
me you hunt.
I used to.
I'm having problems
picturing that.
I'm my father's
only child.
What's he gonna do?
but he was hopeless.
True city kid.
Your car's not in here.
[eerie music]
Okay.
We're going to
the hospital now.
No, maybe something
will trigger my memory.
I just need to
concentrate.
Helen, I understand you
want to do things your
way, but we need
to get you help.
I don't know why you're
being so weird today.
[sharp metallic noises]
Hey!
You were just.. gone.
I think I'm okay now.
You need a doctor.
Someone who can explain
what's happening to you.
explain what's happening
to me.
[tense music]
That was definitely
your car.
Give me your phone.
Why?
Just humor me, okay?
So?
[phone ringing]
(Helen's voice on phone)
Alex?
Hello?
Are you there?
Hello?
Alex?
Who is this?
(Helen) You called me.
Where are you?
(Helen) You're with
her, aren't you?
How do you know...
(Helen) I'll send you a
message when it's safe.
Wait!
She called me this
morning to warn me.
Maybe... maybe that woman's
impersonating you.
Stealing your identity.
It wasn't someone
impersonating me,
that was me.
Obviously that's
impossible, so can we
please think of
another answer?
How much do you know about
when he died?
