Hi.

Come on.

Come on.

Hey.

Hi. How can I help you?

Change of plans. When's the

next flight to St. Louis?

St. Louis.

Destination 200

yards on the left.

Destination 100

yards on the left.

Hello?

Put it down

and get out, now.

If you're looking for insurance

money, you're not gonna find any.

I don't want your money.

I'm gonna turn around now.

Please don't move. Please

just take a deep breath.

I'm gonna turn around. Okay?

Please try and relax.

Take your finger off the trigger.

Okay? Is that you?

Please take your

finger off the trigger.

It's okay.

It's okay.

Oh, my God!

How is this possible?

Try to breathe.

Take a deep breath.

How is this possible?

Put the gun down.

I'm sorry. I'm sorry. I don't

know what you're talking about.

Try to breathe, it's okay.

Mark.

Oh, my God. It's okay.

Just try to take a breath.

Oh, my God. It's you.

It's all right.

It's all right.

How is that possible?

I don't know.

Hey! Are you

expecting somebody?

Did you bring somebody back to

the house with you?

No. No.

Did you bring anybody back?

What are you talking about?

- No! I don't... What are you...

- Mr. Kidner?

Okay, just...

What's happening?

Shh! Quiet.

Wait, Mark!

Mr. Kidner?

Shh, shh.

Mr. Kidner?

Open the door, please.

Mr. Kidner.

Could you open the door?

Whoa.

Mr. Kidner!

Put the gun down. Okay?

I'm just here to help you.

No.

Argh! Get your hands off me!

Hands off me. Calm down!

Calm down.

Eddie. Hey, it's okay, man.

Let him go.

You work for Albright?

I'm still your friend.

Albright, me, we just want

what's best for you.

This woman thinks

her husband's dead.

They told me

the body was grown in a lab.

Why don't you sit down?

Please.

That was his choice.

It was the only way

to save his kid's life.

You gave them money?

Come on, man.

Insurance wouldn't step up,

so we took care of things.

It was the only way to get the

little girl back on her feet again.

You shouldn't have

come here, Eddie.

This doesn't concern you. Like hell

it doesn't! You took a man's life!

Hey, nobody took anything.

You're a businessman. Right?

You understand that.

The kid, Anna,

she's alive thanks to you.

That's bullshit.

I could have cut

that guy a check.

Really? But would you have?

Eddie, I get that

you're disappointed.

You thought you

were buying a new car,

and it turns out it

had a few miles on it.

How can you be so glib,

like nothing happened?

"A few miles on it."

You know that the Doc says

each patient is

critical to the program.

Yeah. F*** him.

You don't

exist without us.

You took a leap without a net.

You really

believe that, Anton?

I warned you.

You know who I used to be?

You like to win. You're

gonna be very disappointed.

There's a car outside.

I suggest you get in it.

The woman?

She's not your problem.

It'll look

like an accident.

You okay?

I need to take the medicine.

Just relax.

I'm gonna use the bathroom.

That's enough.

Hey, Gary.

Ahhh!

No! Put the gun down!

Put that down. Put that down.

He shot me!

The Doc wants

him alive, okay?

Go to the front.

Go in the front.

Hey, Eddie! Eddie,

I'm not gonna hurt you.

Eddie? Don't shoot, man.

Eddie, I'm putting

my gun down.

I'm not trying to hurt you.

I'm gonna come in.

I'm coming in. It's just me. I'm

gonna show you my hands. All right?

Touching the knob.

Look, look.

Do not shoot.

Eddie.

See, look.

You didn't have to do that.

We were on the same team.

Ahhh!

Shoot him!

Light him up!

Hey, hey, hey.

Wake up! Wake up!

Damian!

We're gonna burn you!

Burn them up!

Okay, okay.

Come on.

Ahhh!

Ahhh!

Mark,

can you just stop?

Wait.

Mark, just stop!

Madeline, not now.

Madeline? What

happened to Maddie?

I don't feel well, we gotta

keep moving.

Mark, you were just dead.

They told me you drowned.

What happened? Mark, we

need to call the police.

No! No. No police.

I made a deal for Anna.

Disappearing

was part of it.

Why?

In exchange for the money,

I agreed to do things.

Things only a dead

man could get away with.

Okay, we gotta keep moving.

What?

Let's go. Come on.

No.

You bastard! How can

you do that to me?

Hey! Just stop! No, I

thought you were dead!

Hey, Maddie! Hey!

I didn't want you to

have to make that choice.

At least I don't

think I did,

between your husband

and your daughter.

Okay?

You bastard.

I thought

you were dead.

Oh, my God! Anna.

What?

Anna's in school, Mark.

Mark!

I hope she's strong

enough to blow them out.

You can

do it, Pumpkin.

Did you

make a wish, Pumpkin?

I wished for Daddy to

teach me how to swim.

You're not supposed to say.

Now it won't come true.

Hey, that's not nice.

Is that true?

No, Pumpkin. Of course not.

I'll teach you as

soon as you get better.

Sh*t!

He didn't.

Daddy! I knew it!

I knew it! I knew it!

Oh!

Mom was crying every night,

and I told her not to worry.

I told her you'd come back.

I love you, Daddy.

I love you, too, Pumpkin.

Okay, hey!

Time to go. Come on.

Daddy? Do you

like my hair?

Hey. Get in

here and spit it out.

You don't talk

with your mouth full.

Daddy?

What? Yes, sweetie.

Do you

like my hair?

What?

Do you like my hair?

It grew longer.

It's beautiful.

Come on. Go get ready for bed.

What's with all

these nice clothes?

They made me remove it.

Listen, tomorrow morning,

you and Anna...

Is there someplace that I can take you?

A friend's house?

If you think I'm letting

my eyes off you... Mark?

What are you looking for?

Sh*t!

Mark!

Sorry.

Just tell me

what's the matter...

I just need

a gulp of fresh air!

Come on.

This guy...

I am talking about a future where the

aged and infirm can shed their prisons.

A future where

the fate of a healthy mind...

Son of a b*tch!

This guy...

...failing body.

Yeah, Professor Jensen, do you

really think that old people...

This guy-

Hold on there, Mark.

Pumpkin.

You wanna say bye to Daddy?

Did I tell you what

Anna said to me today?

Pleased to meet you,

Mr. Bitwell.

Hello, Mark.

Mark! Wake up.

Lie down, please.

Comfortable?

Mark!

Mark! Wake up.

Hey.

I'm fine.

You were on the ground.

I know. I'm fine.

Do you need a doctor?

No.

No.

It's over. It's over.

What's over?

Nothing.

Mark!

Please! Talk to me!

What's going on?

I'm sorry.

So sorry.

I know you don't

have any reason to,

but you have to

trust me right now.

Okay?

Just...

Where are we running to?

I need to get medicine.

I've gotta make

a stop in New Orleans.

Daddy?

Daddy?

You need to go

to the bathroom?

Mmm-mmm.

No?

Are you feeling sick?

No.

Of course not. No, why?

Then why are we

going to the doctor?

Is it for me again?

Oh...

No, sweetie, it's not for you.

We're actually going to go

see the doctor's wife.

Daddy needs to talk to her.

You're okay.

Go back to sleep.

All right?

Okay.

Mrs. Jensen will

see you now.

Thank you.

Up the stairs.

- Hi, Mrs. Jensen.

- Come in.

Thank you.

I'm sorry to bother you.

No, you're not.
