How old is your niece?

Eighteen.

My other niece is 15.

Oh. No. Uh, sorry.

Thank you, no.

Sorry. Wrong person.

Bye.

Hello?

Do you speak English?

Yes, I do.

I'm sorry, what were you saying?

I have the eyes you took

up the advertisement for.

How old are you?

No, sorry.

The person I'm looking for is much younger.

No, thank you

for calling. Sorry.

Very good!

- I'm the best.

- I'm the very best.

I'm the very best.

Very good.

Dr. Gray,

are you religious?

Am I religious?

I thought you researched me.

I'm not religious.

Why not?

Religion is based on scripture

written by men

thousands of years ago.

Those beliefs can't be

changed or challenged.

They're fixed.

In science, great thinkers

have written things

very long ago...

...but every generation

improves upon them.

The words are not holy.

Einstein is a brilliant man,

but he is not our god.

He's one step in the evolution

of knowledge...

...but we always

continue to step forward.

You know, a scientist

once asked the Dalai Lama...

"What would you do

if something scientific...

"disproved your

religious beliefs?"

And he said

after much thought...

"I would look at all the papers

"and take a look at

all the research...

"and really try to

understand things.

"And in the end, if it was clear

"that the scientific evidence...

"disproved my

spiritual beliefs...

"I would change

my beliefs."

That's a good answer.

Ian.

What would you do if

something spiritual...

...disproved your

scientific beliefs?

Hello, love.

The bank called today.

They said $2,000 a day is going

to some sketchy

Planet India company.

It's like 20 K already.

What's going on?

I put up a billboard.

It know it sounds a bit

extreme, but it's all

I could think of.

Ian, it's been weeks.

I think you should come back.

Karen, what happened

to turning over

rocks and finding

nothing is progress?

I'm down with the big

picture of all this.

I'm the one who

wanted you to go.

But failed experiments are

not unknown to us, right?

We regroup, we look for more matches,

we try again.

Please come home.

Do you speak English?

A little.

A little?

Yes.

What's your name?

Salomina.

Salomina?

Yes.

Salomina, I'm Ian.

My name's Ian.

Are you hungry?

Yes.

You are?

Yes.

Come on, let's get

you some food.

Come on.

Priya, I found her.

I'm going to the hotel.

Hey! Meet me there.

Listen, I'll be

right there, okay?

What's your favorite food?

Strawberry.

Strawberry?

Just strawberry?

What's your favorite color?

Pink, purple, blue and green.

Pink, purple, blue and green?

Blue and green.

That's so many.

See my finger?

Can you follow it?

Very good.

Very good.

Very good. Very good.

You okay?

You comfortable?

You okay?

Yes.

Are you there?

Yeah.

I wanna show you something that

will take your breath away.

Karen, this is Salomina.

Salomina, this is Karen.

I need my lab partner.

Okay. Yeah.

I'm ready.

Okay, so, Salomina...

...it's a very easy game.

I'm gonna show you three things

and you pick the one

that's your favorite.

Okay.

You understand?

Yes.

Okay.

Commencing experiment one.

Memory connection

between subjects

with identical iris patterns.

Got it.

Subject, Salomina.

44 percent.

Which is, um,

a touch above random...

...by an unfortunately

standard margin.

How do you feel?

I think numbers don't lie.

I didn't ask what you think,

I asked what you feel.

I feel...

...kind of foolish.

I'll see you soon.

Okay.

I make bad test?

What?

I made bad test?

No. No, you did fine.

You did perfect.

It's just a stupid test.

Red wine

And sleeping pills

Help me get back to your arms

Cheap sex

And sad films

Help me get back where I belong

I think you're crazy

Maybe

I think you're crazy

Maybe

Stop sending letters

Letters always get burned

It's not like the movies

They fed us on little white lies

I think you're crazy

Maybe

I think you're crazy

Maybe

I will see you

In the next life...

Give me an update

Just waiting

on your approval to scan.
