[CURSOR BEEPING]
[]
I love a man who
knows what he wants.
[MAN PANTING]
But if what he wants
is Wild Times whiskey,
well, then I love him
even more.
[PANTING]
With its full body
and breathtaking smoothness,
Wild Times is the whiskey
that goes down easy.
[POLICE SIREN BLARING]
That smooth, great taste,
it could almost
make a girl jealous.
[SIRENS WAILING]
[POLICE SIRENS WAILING]
[MAN]:
No.
Please.
No.

[BEEPING]

Happy birthday, mi amore.
I wanted you to wake up
and find this.
I'm sorry
that I had to work early today.
But I promise
I'll make it up to you tonight.
[GIGGLES]
And... Oh.
wants to say happy birthday
to you too.
[BLOWS KISS]
Luke.
[CAR ALARM BEEPS]
Watch your head.
You're mad.
I'm not mad.
We don't have to go.
Oh, we're going.
[ENGINE STARTS]
I love you.
I know.

Ronnie.
Look at me.
Look at me, Ron.
Here's my hand. Just hold on.
Look at me.
Veronica,
please stay with me.
Look at me.
Listen to my voice, Ronnie.
No, don't close your eyes.
Look at me.
- [VERONICA GROANS]
- Veronica.
[POLICE SIRENS APPROACHING]
Veronica.
[LABORED BREATHING]
My wife.
How's my wife?
[GROANS]
Let's take
a look here.
[BEEPING]
Oh, look,
that insurance just expired.
Take him to F-ward.
Oh, uh, sorry, doctor,
I'm new. What's F-ward?
Severe brain trauma.
No medical insurance.
Give you three guesses
what F stands for.
[]
[TIRES SCREECHING]
I'll check on
Lieutenant Ramirez.
I'm sorry, who are you,
gentlemen?
What exactly is this?
[HIGH-PITCHED BEEP]
Good morning, doctor.
I am, as I'm sure you know,
Virgil Kirkhill
of Hope Industries.
About an hour ago,
a man was brought there
after a car crash.
Severe head trauma,
no insurance.
That's no problem for us,
and we can save his life.
I've heard rumors
about this procedure
and to be honest,
I'm very skeptical.
So in your opinion,
we should let the patient die.
I'm not saying that.
Mr. Gibson
could lead a normal life.
I, uh...
I'll need to consult
with his next of kin.
He has family?
A sister.
All right.
May I speak with her?
As you wish.
[WOMAN SPEAKING
INDISTINCTLY OVER PA]
Doctor.
How is he?
Not much different,
I'm afraid.
But there may be
a new option open to us.
We've got
from Hope Industries
already en route.
And we'll make sure
your brother
gets the very best care
available today.

[MAN]:
Hi, my name is Carter Burke.
And if you're a man of class,
a man of distinction,
a man who values quality above
all else, you need the Aeon 3.
The world's newest and most
technologically
advanced wristwatch
with built-in GPS
and a touchscreen transponder.
It has a power source
that will last you a lifetime.
Aeon 3 is tak...
[]
There was a...
Ahem, a man there.
You've had an operation.
You were in a car crash.
Your sister's here.
I'll... I'll get her.
[SIGHS]
Psst.
Hey.
You've been out
a long time.
Sorry.
Name's Bennett Jackson.
I don't even remember
my own name.
Yeah, I hear you, man.
Neither could I
when I first came round.
I had to get it
off my med chart.
Ain't that
a kick in the head?
I heard them
calling you Gibson.
[GRUNTS]
Yeah, it itches like a mother,
don't it? I got one too.
And that ain't even
I've been seeing things.
Things I ain't even
sure are real.
They did something to us.
Something not right.
Thank God you're alive.
Luke.
Luke, Veronica didn't make it.
She's gone.
I'm sorry to hear that.
He doesn't remember
his own wife.
We did try and warn you.
Will he ever get it back?
cognitive memories are intact.
He can remember how
to tie his shoes.
But he has no memory
of what his own shoes look like.
Hey, I'm right here.
There's a man there in a suit.
Selling a watch
or something.

[CAMERA BEEPING]
[MAN]:
Got him.
[MAN 1 ON RADIO]:
by Hope Industries,
the way of the future.
[WOMAN ON RADIO]: U.S. markets
are starting a slow crawl
back up to
pre-depression levels.
at one-tenth the value
of the Chinese yuan.
[MAN 2 ON RADIO]: The corporate
environment committee
continues to deny
sporadic snowfall
with exceedingly high pH levels
across the Eastern seaboard
is a result
of the fusion meltdown
at the Beaksfield facility.
[]
Here we are.
[CANDACE]:
It's this way, Luke.
[MEN CHATTERING INDISTINCTLY]
[CANDACE]:
This way.
Come on.
[LUKE]:
I live here?
[CANDACE]:
Yeah. It used to be nicer
when you guys moved in,
you and Veronica.
Before the bailouts failed and
most governments went bankrupt.
Do you remember
recent history, or...?
[LUKE]:
And Veronica's my wife, right?
[CANDACE]:
Come on. Let's get you inside.
[WOMAN]:
Sir, Subject 17'sfail-safe just activated.
[SCREAMING]
[DOOR CLOSES]
This way.
You and Veronica
lived here.
[]
You loved her very much.
I was in the Army.
Special Forces.
Two continents.
Three wars.
You didn't like
to talk about it much.
You said you wanted to forget
that part of your life.
[LAUGHS]
I should be careful
what I wish for.
I can't remember
any of this.
I'm gonna stay here tonight,
make sure you're okay.
You're Candace, right?
My sister?
Yeah.
Thank you.
[MUSIC PLAYING AND
[WOMAN ON TV]:
The markettook another dive today
at fears of renewed
hostility overseas.
On the good-news front,
today's report
from the mayor's office
concludes
we're making real progress
on the war on crime.
Violent crimes have dropped
by 35 percent
since the same time last year.
With only 241 murders reported
in the last 60 days.
[TV ANNOUNCER]:
This report broughtto you by Wild Times whiskey.
[TURNS OFF TV]
I love a man
who knows what he wants.
But if what he wants
is Wild Times whiskey,
well, then
I love him even more.
How'd you get in here?
With its full body
and breathtaking smoothness,
Wild Times is the whiskey
that goes down easy.
That smooth, great taste...
It could almost
make a girl jealous.
[CANDACE]:
Luke, what's wrong?
Did you just
see that woman?
There's nobody here.
[GASPS]
I gotta get out of here.
Luke?
Luke.

[PUNK MUSIC PLAYING ON STEREO]
How's Mr. 373?
Don't turn them
into numbers.
He is a number.
Don't turn this
into something it isn't.
If we treat him like a number,
we're no better than they are.
[BLOWS RASPBERRY]
"If we turn them into a number,
we're no better than they are".
Shut up.
Hi, my name is Carter Burke.
If you're a man of class,
a man of distinction,
a man who values quality...
Hi, my name is Carter Burke.
If you're a man of class...
Get away from me.
A man who values quality...
