Mindscape Page #6

Synopsis: An angry employee does what we only dream of doing at our day jobs. Holding in much of his frustration, an office worker barely can hide the mental stress from his boss' sadistic demands. His boss finally yells him over the deep end, and the young man explodes pushing both himself and the boss to deep rage. The musical onslaught of Mindscape by Age of Aggression accompanies his mania as he runs from his monstrous superior through the gritty streets of downtown San Francisco. . . Now, take that, flip it, and watch it backwards! Avant-garde writer/director Ezra J. Stanley and cinematographer Alejandro Wilkins, design an unforgettable cinematic music video!

so you damaged the interior of

the door, but you forgot...

that you had the key

in your pocket.

Do the right thing, John...

and tell me what you

did with the girl.

I went to the house,

I was looking for her.

And you got locked in

the surveillance room.

Exactly. And when I got out,

it was too late.

And there was blood on the floor in the

hallway, I followed the trail to the forest!

- And that's how you got the

blood on your shoes? - Yes.

By following the trail of blood from a

16 year-old... in a massive forest.

Yes, and... she came

out of nowhere.

She... she grabbed my hands, my

hands had blood on them.

She ran away.

And was this before or after

she called 911 on her cell...

screaming and crying that you were chasing

her through the house, trying to kill her?

There is plenty of

evidence to convict you.

There was someone else there.

You're gonna die in jail.

And coming back... now.

End of move, end of move!

Okay, that's it.

We visited all the necessary

memories together...

through every aspect of your

involvement in Anna's case.

I should have realized

what she was doing.

It's not your fault, John.

Anna was able to study our protocols

during your time with her...

and she eventually became strong enough

to control and manipulate the sessions.

She was even able to figure out that water

triggered the memories of your wife's suicide.

She needed you to be

responsible for her death.

If she just ran away, her parents

would just keep searching for her.

Did you find anything?

I'll submit our sessions

to the judge...

specifically highlighting the time you

were locked in the surveillance room...

and when you spoke to

her in the forest...

but as you know, our sessions don't

yet carry the same weight...

as eye witness testimony in court.

The only irrefutable evidence you could

have is proving Anna's still out there...

but... that's something

beyond my capabilities.

Mr. Lundgren?

I'm so sorry.

I don't know how she

made me believe her.

She had me completely fooled.

It's all good, John.

You've been under a lot

of pressure lately.

Thank you.

The judge is gonna consider

Peter's testimony for sure...

but since you both

work for Mindscape...

there are some legal issues we need

to get over and that'll take time.

I know.

Now... the sooner you get rid

of the house the better.

It won't take long before

the bail will be granted.

But don't worry, John,

you're not alone.

I'm gonna do everything in my power

to help you get clear of this.

And you just want to

send a single rose?

A single rose and...

this photograph.

Would you be so kind as to remove all

the thorns, before sending it over?

You can count on it, yeah.

The funny thing about memory...

is that it can't be fully trusted.

And yet, in the end, it's

the only truth we have.

And no matter how painful it is,

you gotta look at the truth...

because sometimes...

it's the only thing

that can save you.

It's the only thing...

that can set you free.

I just thought I'd...

try to come up so you could say no.

Come in.
