The I Inside

---

Easy

Diazepam, five milligrams

Easy now, Mr. Cable | you're gonna be fine

Just having a nightmare | Let it go Mr. Cable

Whatever it is | you have to let it go

Where am I?

You're in a hospital | Saint Jude's

I'm Doctor Jeremy Newman

I've been assigned | your case

You were admitted | last night

Don't you remember?

That's okay

Perfectly normal after | that kind of trauma

What happened?

Paramedics were called | just after midnight

They found you, right | in front of your house

You had violent choleric | abdominal convulsions

I'm afraid we had to evacuate | your stomach contents

And?

It's just, uh... | I apologize...

I've never had to tell | a patient this before

We're a small hospital | and painfully short-staffed

I'm actually a pediatric | doctor by training so

any bad news | I have to give

usually involves a lollipop

Would you like one?

It's grape

Doctor, please

You died, Mr. Cable

Your heart stopped beating | for nearly two minutes

No, no, it's alright

We resuscitated you | We brought you back

You're good as new | well, practically

So, that's why I'm here

Now, over the next | few days, we'll...

run a series of tests to...

My name is Simon Cable

I was born on | July 4th, 1974

My parents were | Catherine and Leonard

My father owned | a publishing company

my mother ran charities

I have one older brother | Peter

You can ask me anything | I'm...

fine

That's the spirit | This won't take long

Okay, so

Do you remember my name?

Dr. Newman... Justin

Jeremy, that's okay, nobody | around here remembers it anyway

Um, and the date?

It's the...

Uh, have I missed a day?

No, it's Friday

Then it's uh...

God, I've always been | terrible with dates

Well, that, that's okay | don't worry about it

Um, how about the month?

What month do you | think it is?

It's uh, summer, maybe?

How about the year?

Well, last year was 1999

So, this year is 2000

It's the year 2000, right?

Uh, your wife's name?

Simon, this is the | 29th of July

The year is 2002

And your wife | whose name is Anna

is waiting outside

Back that truck out now!

Get these cars out of here!

We're gonna to need | some backup here!

Hey, come out here

Are you alright? | You okay?

Take it easy man, I'm going to | take you on a little trip

You okay? Just hang in there now

Won't be long

- What have we got? | - We got trauma...

Let's move on | Saline, stabilize the heart

Watch your backs

Make it jolly

Help me move

Make that bolder

His name is Simon Cable

One, two, three

Time is twenty hundred hours

He's crashed, he's crashed! | Get the defrib!

Start chest compression

One, two, three, four, five

One, two, three, four, five

One, two, three, four, five

One, two, three, four, five

One, two, three, four, five

One, two, three, four, five

No pulse | Been flat

Get someone from | surgery down here, pedals

One hundred

Charging!

Clear! No change

Two hundred

Charging! Clear!

There's nothing to explain | Dr. Newman

His Synoptic Cholinesterase | is practically non-existent

I really don't wanna be | discussing this right now

What I need is coffee

Poisonings have | suspicious need

you have to come report it | to the police

that's hospital policy

Let's rule everything out first | that's all I'm saying

Diazepam, five milligrams

Take it easy, Mr. Cable | You're gonna be fine

Just having a nightmare

Let it go Mr. Cable

Whatever it is | you just have to let it go

So what we're looking at here | is Anterior grade amnesia

Basically short term | memory loss

Nothing to get | too worried about

Nothing to get | too worried about?

These episodes usually | sort themselves out

in a couple of days | a couple of weeks

You're telling me that | I've lost two years of my life?

Think of it as if | your life's a puzzle

that's been jumbled up

All the pieces are | still there

We just have to put them | back together

Fit them in the right | order and place

And, honestly, Simon | I love a good puzzle

And I have a wife?

Yeah, these situations are | tough on couples

But your wife will | help us with this

She could be the key

So, if you're | feeling up to it

I'll go and get her

What do you think, Simon?

Would you like me | to get your wife?

Simon?

God! Simon | I was so scared

I called every hospital | I didn't sleep at all

Give me a break now

The doctor says | I'll be just fine

Oh, my God | What happened to you?

You have no idea | how scared I was

For a moment I actually felt | what it would be like

if you weren't in my life | I just completely lost it

You know | it was kind of pathetic

What's the matter? | Are you hurting?

Dr. Newman hasn't told you | what's happened to me, has he?

Now you're | freaking me out, Si

I've lost my memory

I can't remember anything | about the past two years

I don't even know | how I got here last night

And I don't know | who you are

What are you doing, Simon?

Telling you the truth

I'm sorry

I don't know you, at all

You're serious?

With everything | that's happened

This is how you're | going to tell me?

Wait a second | I don't think you understand

- Are you crazy, Simon? | - I don't know what happened

I have nothing left

Wait! Please!

Anna!

Anna!

Whoa, Mr Cable Whoa, stop

Stop her!

- Stop who? | - My wife!

- There's no one here | - What Are you talking about?

No aerobics for at least | a week, Simon

Dr. Newman, will you please | Stop My wife?

Stop her? | She's not going anywhere

You have to tell her | what's happened to me

- I have, Simon | - No, you haven't!

Yes, he has Simon

Thank God, you're okay

The kids I work with can't | get enough of these things

I love watching their | eyes light up

when they finally | put it all together

It's just amazing

Anyway, in order to recover | what you've lost, Simon

We need to find | two points in time

and join them

So, let's begin with the last memory | you can recall two years ago

Can you tell us | what happened last night?

I wasn't with you | last night

He has no memory | of any of it

Your role, Anna | will be to help him

put his life back together

Our life

- It was our life | - Of course

Last night I was at home

You were up here | I don't know what happened

Peter

- I must have been visiting Peter | - Peter?

Peter is my brother | He lives up here

He moved into our parent's | estate after my mom died

We don't really | get along, but...

That's the only reason | I'd be up here, right?

Simon, honey | Peter's dead

What?

Peter died before we met

There's no f***ing way

I was going to see him | just last night

You didn't see | Peter last night

He means his last night | The last night he can remember

There was rain

and this light

Then everything 's quiet

No rain | No light, just...

Oh, gosh, he's talking | about the car accident

Just this empty void

And I'm lost in it

It happened right | before we met, Simon

I don't know that much

Just that you were up | here to see Peter

I don't even know why

You never used to like | to talk about your brother
