The Congress Page #7
Don't know who you are, anyway.
Trust me,
Robin, she is happy.
This is one of the only people who still
brings children into the world.
What if I don't want to take part
in the chemical party?
Then you'll realise very soon
that you can't.
Because you won't be part of this world.
And where will I be?
On the other side.
What's on the other side, Dylan?
Truth.
And who is on the other side?
Ones who did not pass over.
who aren't taking part in the chemical party,
And of course, everyone who operates
the world, you see here.
Have you been there?
- No.
- Why not?
Because I don't know if you can get back.
It's like coming back from death.
Maybe some have, but... we'll never know.
Then send me there, and I'll tell you
what it's like on the other side.
Do you have a way to send me there?
Yes.
- Is it at home - the substance?
- It's...
...not a chemical cocktail.
It's kind of a, a...
Wipeout.
That deletes all the chemical influences
in a second.
And the truth... comes right out.
And where is it?
It's like the cyanide capsules the Nazis had,
in case of surrender.
When I left the old world
I took one.
It was my compensation
from Miramount-Nagasaki
that's what I asked them for after 20 years of work.
This little capsule.
I want it.
And if your son comes back, while you're gone?
And if he's there? What if he is
on the other side? That's more likely.
This is all I have left.
Robin, if you take it,
you are leaving, you are leaving me.
You can't do that.
Not now.
Then come with me.
I can't, the capsule is strong enough
only for one person.
It's your choice, and I'll give you
anything you want.
I love you.
Robin, I have always loved you.
I loved you for 20 years
when I did not even know you, and you
were my entire world.
And I loved you for 20 more years
waiting every hour
of every day for you to come back.
Promise me you not gonna look at the real me.
Promise me you'll remember me this way.
I promise.
I love you.
Are there any doctors left in this world?
Yes, there are.
Where are they?
Up above.
Excuse me.
Can you tell me where I can find an EN physician named Dr. Barker?
Sure.
His cabin will be at the end of the corridor.
- I knew you would never cross over
to the other side.
- Oh!
Do not be so impressed that I am still here.
Being here, on this side of the truth,
is not so brave.
Nothing has really changed, has it?
Once we just masked the truth with...
antidepressants, drugs
that, um... concealed, lied.
Now we reinvent the truth.
It's not such a big difference.
Drugs were just cut much, much better.
And is there... no choice?
The only choice is between
waiting for death here
in this filth of truth,
or hallucinating over there.
Maybe it's better over there, dreaming.
And Aaron?
Aaron [awaited] here,
all over the years.
For 19 years, he waited for you to come back.
His condition got worse and worse, and, um...
he was almost totally blind, by the end.
But he...
He did not cross over.
Even though I told him to.
I begged him to, [knowing] that I wouldn't
be here forever [...] to take care of him.
Six months ago, he crossed over
He is someone else now
in the world of chemical fantasy,
over on the other side.
6 months it is?
Exactly 6 months ago.
He just broke down, Robin.
I think he thought that I was going to die and...
He no longer believed that you would ever come back.
Basically there is no way to find Aaron.
Here, he does not exist.
And on the other side, there is no way
of knowing who he is now.
But you can still go back there,
and that's something to.
That's better than waiting for death.
And on this other side...
Yeah, what about it?
Can I go back to where I came from?
There is no such thing as "the place
that you came from".
You invented it.
You will go where your mind
and your chemistry will take you.
And after your experience of here, there
will be a place in your consciousness
completely different from any
you have been to before.
Your past is dead, Robin.
I'll fix you an ampule.
And then I will call the kite.
Do you know where you're going, Robin?
Yes, I know.
