Identicals Page #3

Synopsis: The organization Brand New-U identifies networks of IDENTICALS - people who walk like you, talk like you, but are walking through different, better lives - and helps their customers make a life upgrade: eliminating the better-life donor, and relocating their client to that brand new life. Slater seems to have the perfect life, the perfect job and the perfect girlfriend. But when Slater's girlfriend is abducted by Brand New-U, and a corpse left in her place, he is forced to become an Identical. As he moves through a series of parallel lives, he becomes more and more obsessed with finding his girlfriend, but what he must find in the end is himself.

Bye.

This is a guest announcement.

We will be closing in 10 minutes.

We hope you enjoyed your visit.

Have a safe journey home.

Not nice.

You're looking in the wrong direction.

Always makes life difficult.

...always love you.

Follow your heart...

Fall into place.

You just have to trust me.

- Hello?

- Uh...

I, uh... I'm really sorry

for ringing, I, uh...

Hmm.

You see, I, uh... I

was attacked and they...

They knew we'd seen each other,

they knew we'd been together.

Jesus.

So I was just ringing

to see if you were okay.

Are you okay?

Jesus, who did this to you?

I don't know.

I don't know. I didn't recognize them.

Hey, you know, I'd seen you before.

- Yeah?

- Yeah.

It's okay.

Um...

I've, uh... I've also

been dreaming about you.

Um...

I dreamt I was looking for you,

and... I was... You needed me.

Yeah. And I reached this door and, um...

And you, uh... I was

convinced you were behind me.

So, uh...

Hmm.

Thank you, uh... Thanks for coming.

It's okay.

Ah.

Sorry.

Just...

This is weird.

Can I see?

It's a photo of me with an old boyfriend.

I think I remember that

day, it was his birthday.

Scratched-out face, that's me.

No, no, I know who this

is and it's not you.

I, uh...

I share that memory.

That's, uh... That's me.

No, no, I know who this

is and it wasn't you.

Scratched-out face, that's me.

I have had a life before you.

I share that memory.

Here you go.

Hey.

Hello.

It's late.

What are you doing?

I'm, uh... Sticking this

photograph together because...

Well, because... Because...

There's a better life waiting for us.

Somebody else.

Somewhere else.

Doors opening.

Doors closing.

Merry Christmas, kids!

Nice to see a couple of

happy lovebirds at Christmas.

Your, uh, quarrel, you get over that?

Sorry?

Not good to let a

photograph come between you.

I mean, you're in enough trouble as it is.

Third floor.

Doors opening.

Hand over the image.

I can explain.

Hey!

What were you told? What?

Nothing. To bring nothing.

What do you think nothing means?

Photographs? Memories? Obsessions?

No.

Let's not get into a conflict, okay?

She doesn't feel like we shared history,

she still doesn't feel like

that, so it's not a problem.

- We don't agree.

- No, we don't agree.

Oh, my God, this is not real,

this cannot be happening.

You're looking in the wrong

direction. Always makes life difficult.

Stop the car and let her out.

This is between you and

me, please, just let her go.

I'm sorry, Slater, but she's with me now.

What? No!

You'll get used to it, you need to move on.

No, Slater.

This has nothing to do with her.

This has everything to do with her.

No! What?

Please. Just let her go.

We're calling in the

loan on your current life.

You can move on. Do the whole

thing again, but do it right.

This time you're gonna have to

eliminate the life donor yourself.

I'm not gonna kill anyone, all right?

- What?

- There'll be a body.

Your options are not what they were.

Dump him in a reservoir,

shove him in a freezer.

You're not the first person to

have these problems, you know?

People cope.

Yeah, people cope, we

just do the best we can.

- Let me out of the car!

- Get the f*** down!

Hey, hey, hey! At me! At me!

It's time to step up to the line.

Prove that all that help

you've been getting is worth it.

Slater, please don't let them take me.

You're not gonna do that.

Get out of the f***ing car.

Get out the f***ing car now!

Get out the car.

No!

F*** you!

Hello, you are speaking to Janet.

I need to ask you some

security questions.

Please answer "yes" or "no".

I'm being followed.

Yes. Yes.

Someone has it in for me.

Yes.

I've not lived the

right kind of life.

No. No.

I wake up fresh and

rested most mornings.

No.

Me. I'm liked by most

people who know me.

No.

Hello, Slater.

Hey. Hey, hey.

Listen, there's been a mistake,

okay? A f***ing mistake.

You must sort out the user

problems, whatever they might be,

at your current level, and

within that level alone.

You need to fix this!

I want to repeat that.

You must sort out

the user problems,

whatever they might be,

at your current level, and

within that level alone.

Backwards flow in the

system could cause errors.

Backwards flow? What the f***

are you... What errors are you...

What the f*** are you talking about?

Abuse or profanity will result in

your call being terminated, Slater.

Okay, I want to talk to your boss.

I want to talk to your f***ing

boss, I wanna make my point

- and I want to be heard!

- ...calling, sir.

What the f*** is your

name? Tell me your name.

My name's Janet. You can call

back and ask for me any time.

Okay, Janet.

Yes, Slater?

What's your family name, Janet?

My family name is Phone 068.

068? What the f*** is

that supposed to mean?

Unfortunately, this call will be

terminated due to user profanity.

This is the Janet

phone, so you see...

...you will always be able to

contact me when you need support.

- Okay. F*** you!

- Goodbye, Slater.

Hello, Slater.

You need to make a

life space adjustment.

You need to make a

life space adjustment.

Now, Slater, are you listening?

There's a car waiting on level two.

There's a car waiting on

level two. You need to go.

- Brand New-U.

- Brand New-U.

Brand New-U.

Congratulations on

your new life space.

The boarding pass is in

your glove compartment,

along with everything you

need for your new life space.

Good luck in your new life space.

We wish you every happiness

in your new life space.

Hello.

I've been told by mutual friends

that you're in need of support.

Come in.

Guns.

I can see you're gonna take

to this like a duck to water.

Yeah.

The Ruger Mark II,

silent .22 caliber weapon.

Popular with special forces the

world over for its reliability,

its stealthiness, and

accuracy up to 70 yards.

That weapon has seen action

with US Navy SEAL teams.

You see, the thing about

the .22 caliber weapons

is it's possible to really

silence them effectively.

They don't have...

...the crack that you get with a .38.

Oh, and it's best not to point it

at people that you don't wanna kill.

Sorry.

It is a pistol, not a

novelty cigarette lighter.

Yeah.

Guns make me nervous.

Yeah.

Firearms make everybody nervous.

That is the point of them.

And by the way, we don't

like to call them guns.

We say rifles or pistols,

generally the word is "weapon."

- Weapon.

- Weapon.

This is what we have put aside for you.

- Christ.

- Yeah.

Okay, this is the Heckler & Koch

PSG1 Prazisionsschutzengewehr.

It's basically a totally

reworked G3 for precision sniping.

It is a beautiful rifle.

It's heavy duty, extra long barrel,

polygonal rifled bore, so, well, have a go.

She really is a beauty.

The, uh, scope there is six by

24, with illuminated crosshairs.

That should hold accurate

to about 600 meters,

far longer than you'll

need in an urban context.

Yeah, it's a good choice.

Who's paying for all this?
