You can't create

a memory to suppress another.

It's the easiest way to forget

what's real and what isn't.

That's your last one, north.

At least somebody

is looking out for me.

Tell me where it is!

Yeah, uh, no.

I'll call you back.

You're late.

- Traffic.

- And your phone is off.

There's so much sh*t

going on around here

for your phone to be off.

Sorry.

Andrex, where are you

with that report?

I need those numbers.

I need access to those accounts.

They're our biggest client.

And we ought to be able

to give them something.

Put them on hold.

Nothing's on hold.

It's been three months

since you...

You know it's at risk

if we don't give them

something, right?

I can't remember, I'm trying.

Still seeing that woman,

that shrink?

Of course.

How's that going?

I got to give them

some reassurance.

I mean, they've been

more than patient

with us at this point.

But sooner or later,

I got to pull the trigger.

So, you take some time off

and you figure this out.

And I need to be able to

call you on your phone

if I need your help, okay?

I'm trying to be

understanding here,

but you need to get

your sh*t together,

for both of our sake.

- Look, if I could just...

- This is not a discussion.

Because with everything

you know about this place,

our clients and the people

we work with...

I can't have you this

f***ing incomprehensible.

I will burn you if you

don't give me what I want.

- No.

- Tell him where it is!

- Her!

- No, don't!

- - They're

going to come for you now.

This is unexpected.

I'm sorry to bother you,

can I come in?

You didn't call to

make an appointment.

I know but, it's...

Got bad today.

I didn't know where else to go.

I'm not seeing any other

patients till this afternoon,

but... you can't just show

up like this in the future.

Understood.

Is there something you

want to talk about?

Just put me under.

What do you want to find?

I want to go back to my wife,

she was going to tell me

something before

I remembered the argument.

How did you meet Ginny?

We met at a work function

when I got out of college.

I was working at a

startup investment firm,

I went to one

of the client's fundraisers

- and she was there.

- Love at first sight?

Yeah, it was.

We were...

Inseparable,

got married six months later.

Things were good.

And then one day you wake up

and look over...

And wonder how you got here.

- Did you argue?

- Sure.

What did you argue about most?

Money.

What else did you argue about?

Everything!

It's possible that this history of

conflict has created a barrier.

There's only one

way to find out.

Hear the sound of my voice.

I want you to open your eyes

on one hundred,

close on ninety-nine.

One hundred,

ninety-nine.

Relax your breathing.

Feel the weight

of your body leave you.

Element?

- My wife.

- Element?

I want to see her

one more time, please.

I know you can answer me.

Element.

Revenge.

I know...

It doesn't make sense.

Did she have to die?

I need to see Ginny.

You have to take me to her.

Don't wake me up!

Take me to Ginny.

Don't wake me up!

No!

Holy f***!

How long was I out?

Seventy-two minutes.

- That was...

- Intense!

Your memories are building.

When can I come back?

Let me get my

appointment calendar.

No, no, no.

I'll call you back.

I'll call you back.

- So, what did they say?

- As if you don't know.

Come on, be more specific.

I can't remember anything.

Son of a b*tch

is running out of time.

I know, I'm working on it.

Don't tell me that.

I am gonna start wondering

what your problem is.

If I ask one more time,

we're going to make

a lot of people nervous.

What do you want from me?

There is the other way.

Leave your cell phone on.

I'll be in touch.

Can I try a reposado, please?

Drinking alone?

- Looks like it.

- They say that's bad luck.

Who's they?

Thank you.

Do I know you?

Sorry, you just look

really familiar to me.

- I'm Anna.

- North.

- North?

- Uh-huh.

I like it.

You from around here?

No, visiting.

- Family?

- Work.

Cheers.

What about you?

You live around here?

I do.

Married?

Ah, I was.

What do you do for work?

I was a financial Advisor.

- Was?

- Taking a break.

It's that bad?

Ask me again in an hour.

Probably won't be

here in an hour.

I'm also in town

to see my new therapist.

Is that bad to admit?

Of course not.

What kind of therapy?

Why? You need

somebody to talk to?

Maybe!

You ever heard of

Ericksonian technique?

Yeah, I've heard of him.

My therapist is in his style.

I don't know, I may or

may not see him again.

Did you call a cab?

Yes, thank you.

So, I have a couple

of meetings in the morning.

I thought maybe we could

grab a coffee after,

and you could tell me more about

this therapy I signed up for?

- Do I have a choice?

- No!

Don't forget.

You getting hers?

I guess so.

I want to speak to Ginny.

Based on your interaction

with her in the trance world,

I'm not sure that's

the best approach.

Why?

Have you ever kept a secret,

really kept one...

Something about yourself

you can't discuss?

The mind works the same way.

I don't understand.

Whatever secret

your mind is hiding,

Ginny is not the one

with the answers.

- It lies elsewhere.

- Then how do we find it?

I'd like to try a different

technique to put you under.

A simple handshake.

Action learned as a

single chunk of behavior.

Tying your shoelaces

is another example.

When that action is diverted...

The mind responds

by suspending itself

in trance.

What is this?

- Element?

- Why did you bring me here?

What do you want me to see?

Take me back to my office.

I need to understand why

the accounts were changed.

Element.

There's nothing else.

Tell me why you brought me here?

North!

North!

How long?

Nearly two hours.

You can't force your mind to travel

places it doesn't want to go.

I came here to be with my wife.

Why can't she take me to her?

I don't know about can't,

but she won't.

She has to.

No, I think it's like

when you were a senior,

I was, like, potty training.

You probably don't even

know who Elvis is, do you?

Oh, okay, nice.

Or we can talk

about hypnosis some more.

Thank you for listening,

seriously.

You're welcome.

I had fun today.

Me too.

It's been a while

since I've been out.

With what, another woman?

Doesn't matter.

So, this is the infamous wall?

That's it.

What are the empty spots?

Those are of the things

I've figured out.

Fascinating.

Well, it's a work

in progress, but...

No, I meant you.

Hey!

You okay?

Yeah.

Where you headed?

Work, travel, home.

I'll be back.

When?

Soon!

Last night...

It was...

But...

It's too soon.

It's okay.

Disappointing, but it's okay.

Can I get a zip up, please?

Can I ask you something?

Sure.

Are you starting to

remember your wife's death?

I'm not sure I want to.

Would knowing be worse than what

you're putting yourself through now?

I'm not going to tell you

it's time to move on,
