Well spoken.

Subliminals.

Marketing.

Deceitful.

Desirable.

Desirable?

I am not my sister.

I am sane and rational,

and I am in control of

my thoughts and feelings.

- I keep nothing from Marvin.

I tell him whatever

he wants to know.

I don't want Dennis

Macintyre, I want Marvin.

I trust Marvin.

I want him sexually.

- He f***in'

switched my thoughts!

- What the hell's going on?

- She found out you

switched her thoughts.

This is out of character.

- I was pre-securing

her cooperation.

- Is that what you were doing?

- We need to know if her

technique is efficacious

on unwilling subjects.

- We already know that it isn't.

We've replicated her technique

on 11 different subjects.

In every case the

fundamentalism is still evident.

- Having radical beliefs

are more tenacious

than romantic inclinations.

- All it takes is one phone

call to the wrong person

and the entire

operation is exposed.

What you're doing is dangerous.

- Nonsense.

Everything is under control.

- And Macintyre?

We know he access the operations

roster and ran a search

on you.

God knows what he told her.

We should at least

eliminate him.

- No!

I've got a better idea.

- By the way, I watched

her experiment again

and I found something.

When she came out of the toilet,

she looked like she had

a bad taste in her mouth.

This is why she laid down

for 60 minutes in the dark

before she got in the tank.

- The trick up her sleeve.

Get the rest of this analyzed.

In order to avoid insanity,

I must remain close to Marvin

and be open with him.

I want Marvin.

I have no memory of coercion.

Holly?

Holly, are you alright?

I couldn't raise you.

I waited and waited, I

didn't want to intrude.

I think you've been in

here about three hours.

- Three hours?

- I know how you value

your independence,

I didn't want to interfere.

- I must have fallen sleep.

- I switched off the audio

file that was playing.

Is this the different

kind of experiment.

- No, we didn't

write it about them.

I'll let you read it.

- Come on, let's get you out.

Come on.

I have to attend to

something before I take you

to my apartment.

I'll just be five minutes.

You fed him the liquid?

- 62 minutes ago.

- I am insane.

Leave him in there

for a couple of hours,

then dump him somewhere.

And keep him under surveillance.

I need to know exactly

how long non compos mentis

he becomes.

Here we are.

- Are you a special advisor

to the prime minister?

- How did you find

out about that?

- A little Birdy told me.

- Something of a secret, really.

The PM's worried that having

someone with my background

as an advisor might send

out the wrong message.

- What do you advise him on?

- Oh, just marketing

and PR stuff.

You're quite safe

with me, Holly.

It doesn't matter to me if

your experiment went wrong.

Research is an ongoing process.

I'll look after you and provide

you with whatever you need.

Now,

how can I be of service to you.

- Just talk to me.

- So do we know what was in it?

- Psilocybin, a hallucinogenic

property possibly synthesized

from psilocin mushrooms.

Also two monoamine

oxidase inhibitors

and two other as yet

unknown ingredients.

They can isolate

and analyze these,

but it will take up to a week.

It might be worth noting

that in the last seven days,

Ms. Kane has had three meetings

with Jeannie Callaghan,

a close personal friend

with a first in chemistry.

Do you want me to

get the recipe?

- Obviously.

- Mcintyre's heat

signal has disappeared.

- Have they got people there?

- Two minutes away.

- You thought infrared

surveillance would be enough?

- I was told to be discreet.

- If you're going to

survive in intelligence,

you'd better develop some.

He worked for the ministry

of defense, you moron.

He's technically savvy.

And hang up your f***ing jacket.

I'll go there myself.

He's long gone.

Use video analytics and

find out where he went.

Accessing the a network.

- I thought it would be

good for you to get out,

but you must tell me if you

need to spend some time alone.

- I don't want to be alone.

This is fine, thank you.

- Have you any idea of what

thoughts you were putting

into your unconscious?

- I've been hearing whispers.

- When you put that many

thoughts into your unconscious,

you must expect some

kind of response.

- Hearing voices can be

a sign of schizophrenia.

- That is not something

you need to worry about.

- Rosalyn was

diagnosed as a child.

It can lay dormant for decades.

- Does Rosalyn hear whispers?

- I don't know, I haven't

seen her in a long time.

I should've gone, but I

was just too frightened.

And now my fears seem

to be coming true.

- You don't strike me as

being remotely schizophrenic.

Even now, you're thinking

clearly and cogently.

You've been through an ordeal.

It's only natural that you

should be a little traumatized.

Just try to relax.

- You've been very kind.

Thank you.

Nature calls.

- I'm sorry.

I'm sorry.

I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I'm sorry.

- What do you want?

- They've screwed with my head,

they've done something to me.

They brainwashed me,

I want you to know.

- Who's brainwashed you?

- Your boss.

Your boss and his associates.

- Marvin?

Why would he do that?

- To eliminate me, perhaps.

- To eliminate you from what?

- Two men, two men crashed

into my flat and they injected

me with something.

I woke up in alleyway

covered in water and salt,

and I've got a three or

four hour gap in my memory.

I shook off surveillance,

and four undercover policemen

raided my shed and the park.

- What has this got

to do with Marvin?

- He's behind it.

He's behind it!

- Why do you think that?

- When I was doing my research,

I found out some other things.

Two weeks ago a high level

operation was launched

under Marvin

Greenslade's control.

Protection command

are behind it.

That's a special

operations directive

of metropolitan police.

It's the same unit that looks

after the PM's security.

- Maybe you're having

another breakdown.

Smelling of booze and

hidden in the ladies toilets

doesn't look good.

- Look at you.

They've don't it to you as well,

why else would you change your

mind about me so suddenly?

- Because you lied to me!

- No.

No, no, no, no, no.

I didn't lie to you.

I didn't lie to you!

I cut my brother out

of my life because he,

my wife left me for him.

And I didn't mention my job

because I am trying to forget

about it.

Look at you.

Your heads going one way

and your body in another.

You don't know what

the f***'s going on,

but you keep

pretending that you do.

They brainwashed you

into believing something

that you don't!

You need to get away from him.

- I can't think straight.

- You can't trust your mind,

they've done something to it

so don't think, just feel.

Just feel.

- I need time to think.

Just give me some time.

I'll call you.

Call this number, but

do it from a pay phone.

- Are you alright, mate?
