Identity Page #5

They disappeared.

Edward, I'd like to show

something to you, if I may.

Do you recognize this man?

No.

That man, Edward,

is Malcolm Rivers.

He's had a very troubled life.

He was arrested four years ago...

...and convicted of the murder

of six people in a violent rampage.

-He did this.

-Detective, please.

Edward, listen to me.

When faced with an intense trauma,

a child's mind may fracture...

...creating disassociated identities.

That's exactly what happened

to Malcolm Rivers.

He developed a condition

that is commonly known...

...as Multiple Personality Syndrome.

Why are you telling me this?

Because you, Edward...

...are one of his personalities.

What?

Jesus Christ! What the f***

did you do to my face?

-Keep calm.

-Where is my face?

-That is your face.

-Why am I tied up?

-Keep calm.

-Where is--?

-Please.

-Jesus Christ!

-Where is my face?

-Stay calm.

No! I'm not gonna stay calm!

Why am I tied up like this?

Who are all these people?

What happened at the motel?

-Where is everybody?

-They don't exist, Edward.

You were all created

by Malcolm as a child.

-You're a liar!

-Consider what you know.

-Everyone named after a state.

-No.

Everyone sharing the same birthday.

Your blackouts.

No! I was a cop!

I was a cop in the Rampart Division

of L.A.P.D. for six years.

Edward, please.

I live in Hollywood,

in a studio apartment.

-You don't live there.

-I do live there!

You don't live anywhere.

I know this is difficult to accept,

but the face you saw in that mirror...

...is the face I've always seen when

I talk to Edward or Paris or Larry...

...or anyone else you've met tonight.

Malcolm is in the midst

of a medical treatment.

One which forces all his identities to

confront one another for the first time.

I knew there would be violence...

...and with it, the number

of the identities would be reduced.

Reduced?

One of the personalities

you've met tonight, Edward...

...committed those murders

four years ago.

He took control of Malcolm's body,

as you have now...

...and released an unspeakable rage.

And in 1 9 hours...

...Malcolm Rivers will be put to death

because of those actions...

...unless I can convince that man...

...that the killer is gone.

I need you to stay with me.

Edward?

I need your help.

I need your help to finish this.

Edward, listen to me.

Edward, stay with me.

Listen to me.

I need you to understand.

The killer cannot survive.

Edward!

Got it?

I can't see a thing.

Is there a flashlight?

Hang on. Hang on.

-You got a flashlight?

-Yeah, yeah, it's dead. Goddamn it.

Shut up!

Hey. What am I

supposed to wear, man?

You're in it.

Larry.

Larry, come here.

Ed!

Ed!

Larry!

-Larry!

-Paris.

Paris.

Larry?

Larry? Larry?

Where are the keys to the truck?

Where are the keys to the truck?

-That was good, Larry.

-We gotta get out of here.

-Ed has the keys to the truck.

-I got a spare right here.

-Where is he?

-I don't know. Here.

-What are you doing?

-We need a gun.

Holy sh*t!

Give me the keys to the truck.

Ed!

We gotta get out of here!

-Paris--

-He's coming. He's--

-Stay here.

-What's wrong with you?

Paris, listen to me.

Stay here.

It's gonna be okay.

Throw me the keys to the truck, Ed.

Throw me the keys to the truck.

Stay there. Stay there!

Ed! Ed! Ed!

Ed, let me see.

We gotta get you to a hospital.

We're gonna get you

to a hospital, okay?

Stay with me because

I'm gonna get you to the truck.

Put your arm around my neck.

You gotta hold on, okay?

You with me, Ed? Stay with me.

Okay. One, two, three.

You gotta help me get you up.

Ed, you gotta push a little bit.

Ed, why won't you let me help you?

Where did you go before?

What did you see?

Tell me what you saw.

I saw you.

I saw you in an orange grove.

Why won't you let me help you?

Where did you go?

What did you see?

I saw you...

...in an orange grove.

The question, Your Honor, is whether

to convict the body or the mind.

His body committed these murders,

that is true.

The person who remains

inside did not.

Judge Taylor, that may not be true--

We witnessed the destruction

of 1 0 identities tonight.

Nine were innocent

and one was guilty.

They're not real!

The violence that existed in him

has been executed.

Your Honor, Malcolm belongs

in a state hospital.

In the matter of Rivers v. Nevada, it is

the recommendation of this court...

...that Mr. Rivers' execution

be stayed.

I am transferring Mr. Rivers

to state psychiatric services...

...under the care of Dr. Mallick.

Cracked heels and washed-out horns

Blow into my face with scorn

But it's not that way

I wasn't born to lose you

I want you

I want you

I want you so bad

Timmy.

No, please don't.

No, Timmy, please.

What is it, Malcolm?

Malcolm?

Whores don't get a second chance.

When I was going up the stairs

I met a man who wasn't there

H.e wasn't there again today

I wish

I wish he'd go away
