I have been in this | hospital before

But two years from now

This is not my mind playing | tricks on me, this happened

And this is where you met | a Dr. Newman

and an orderly named Travis?

Yes, will meet

You know, it's possible | you could be suffering

from a preoccupied delusion | Mr. Cable

- It wasn't a delusion | - just consider

While you were unconscious | you fabricated a story

then stored it deep | within your memory banks

so that now awake | when you look back on it

it appears as real as | any true memory

It was as real as | these walls, or you

Even when you're unconscious | your senses are alive

You have overheard things

and then incorporated them | into your delusion

You said Travis, the patient | in your room is Travitt

you met a Dr. Newman | I'm Truman

It's like in a dream

You think you heard a siren | and then when you're wake

you realize | it's only your alarm

Hey, wacko, you know | what I've been thinking?

I swear I know you | from somewhere, I mean

Were you anybody | been in the papers or anything?

What about Anna? | Is she also just part of the dream?

Yes, Mr. Cable, I would | venture that she is

I just want to remember | I have to

Sorry to interrupt, doctor

I wanted to bring in | one of my nursing students

to check Mr. Hungout's | vitals if that's okay

That's fine, Nurse Clayton | Go right ahead

Okay, what the hell | was she doing here?

- It's just Nurse Clayton? | - But she was in My dream

Mine, too, hey what's | she wearing in yours?

How are you today?

That's... but you said...

What? What is it?

That's... she's my wife!

Anna?

Yes?

Anna have you been here | in the last 24 hours?

No, is everything | okay, Doctor?

Mr. Cable, I need you to | get into bed right now

How could I know her name, huh? | How could I?

I know who you are | I got it

You're the son of that | dead rich guy, aren't you?

You're all in on this

You're all out of your | f***in' minds!

I know I was here! | I was in this goddamned room!

Anna!

Tell him you know me!

- A dactyl ten | - Tell him you know me!

Mr. Cable, just come | and sit down, will ya?

- It wasn't a dream! | - I know

- That was real, and this isn't | - just relax

This is bullshit! | What are you doing?

This is for your own good

No! No, please

- That's it | - I'm telling you

You're not real!

Who's there?

What do you want?

What do you want?

Get away from me!

Doctor! | Doctor, doctor, doctor!

- Has to be on the door | - You're gonna hurt yourself

this is around that | goddamn door!

Keep your head still | - Mr. Newton...

- Someone behind that door! | - Nurse?

Please! | He's right there!

- Five milligrams Diazefam | - No, no!

Simon, listen very carefully | to what I'm saying

You've been prescribed | a drug that's known to have

mild psychiatric | side effects

No one in the hospital | who's gonna kill you

There's no one behind the door

Well if you're so sure | then look

Simon, please

Look behind the | f***ing door!

Okay I know | Just look behind the door

Not to see if there is someone there

But to prove to me that | there isn't someone there

This will relax you

C ward I'll join you | there in a minute

Don't leave! | Don't you leave me!

Simon, I have other | patients who need me

But they're not | about to die!

Neither are you

And that's a promise

Goddamn you people!

Mr. Cable, please have some | consideration for others

Then get me off this thing

The doctor's orders | were quite clear

Yeah, I know, I know | but I'm claustrophobic

One hand

Yeah, well, it'll keep you | quiet for a moment

but just a moment

Mr. Cable, I am not | going to fight you

What I will do is | call security

Mr. Cable, you're meant | to stay here

until you're ready to...

What are you looking for?

He was here | I know he was

It's 2002

Someone just tried | to kill me

I promise you, kid | that is not true

- Pralidoxime is known | - You're not listening to me

Someone tried to kill me | before the nightmare

just after that orderly | left me

strapped to that | Goddamned machine

You've got to believe me | someone came into the room...

Take it easy, kid

Try and relax | take a breath

Good, okay

Now, I wanna show you | something I think may help

And that's me | waking you up

Keep your head still

No masked intruders | my friend

It was so real | I, I just...

Under the influence of | some psychoreactive drugs

nightmares can be | indistinguishable from reality

It couldn't have been | a nightmare

You saw it | for yourself, Simon

You were all alone | in that room

I know I was here two years | ago, after my accident

See now that's good

I told you to start | remembering

And the quicker | that happens

the quicker you accept | what really happened

The quicker you'll finally | be able to move on

Yeah, but still, I...

it wasn't as if I was | remembering the past

It was as if I was | part of it

I could interact | with the people there

I got it figured out then

Maybe whoever it was that came | after you

was part of your memory too

That's why he never | showed up on the tape

I'll just sit here | and look pretty

Was there ever | a Doctor Truman here?

Truman? | That vaguely rings a bell

Yes, 'cause I remember | nurse Clayton

and uh, and a | patient named Travitt

No sh*t? There's a | Travitt on the fifth floor

- what? | - Yeah

Heart transplant patient

been waiting here | about two years

May I help you?

I'm just uh... | Iooking up a friend

But it's two o'clock | in the morning

What the f*** are you | looking at?

I'm so glad to see you

Hey, got a cigarette?

No, he hasn't

How you doing, Doc?

Mr. Cable, I think we should | leave Mr. Travitt to sleep

Oh, no

Plenty of time to sleep

when you unplug me | from all this sh*t

Don't you recognize me?

Grim reaper?

We were in this hospital | together two years ago

They come and they go

Come on, Mr. Travitt | please

- Think back, 2 years | - It doesn't matter

Yes, it does!

I was in this hospital | two years ago I know I was

And he was here with me!

Holy sh*t, Wacko!

Are you sure, Mr. Travitt?

Abso-f***ing-lutely, yeah

this guy almost | shouted the place down

I see they won't let you | escape from this place either

It wasn't a delusion then

I was here two years ago | It was real

This is good | isn't it, doc?

Isn't it?

So you think you're feeling up | to a few more questions?

Simon Cable, born July 4th | 1974

- My name? | - Dr. Newman, Justin?

Jeremy, close enough | And the date?

Is it tomorrow?

Then it's the | 30th of July, 2002

I'm impressed, kid | Who's the President?

Don't worry about it

Let's get you back | down to your room

Is uh, Mr Travitt ever going | to make it out of here?

There's only one inescapable rule | in the game of life, kid

Sooner or later everybody | has to stop playing

Whoops, that's me

I think it'd be better | if you've got some sleep

Thank you, Doctor | I know I haven't been easy

Of course | we're not done with you yet

We have a puzzle | downstairs
