The Speed of Thought

Synopsis: Joshua Lazarus (Nick Stahl) possesses a special gift that enables him to read people's minds, and the government has trained him to use his ability for missions involving national defense, all the while telling him that it will ultimately destroy him -- but will it? When Joshua falls in love with Anna (Mía Maestro), another telepathic "scoper," he and his friend, Kira (Taryn Manning), must find a cure for their gift and expose the lies.

What I want?

Better to choose something.

Look who showed up.

"Whenever I see it.

-Pancakes.

The telepath

I think I'll eat pancakes.

-Look at that smile.

"I knew we should be happy.

Do not you?

You said you would on Thursday.

Yes, she's beautiful.

-The flight was canceled.

"What can he want?

"And the family? Never talk about it.

-I will never know.

It's convenient.

And we talked,

talk a lot.

Whew.

I need to work.

"We have a strange connection.

-I could never write.

I must take the editor.

Trust you?

I should trust you?

Trust we conquer,

my friend.

Come back here soon. If you delay,

I may have gone.

Hi ..

My name is Joshua.

I'm Vanessa.

Vanessa.

You are the sign of Virgo.

I am not a Virgin obvious.

It was obvious to me.

You are very intuitive.

One can say that.

Vanessa...

you do not call

Vanessa, is not it?

Emily.

Emily.

Something tells me you

enjoying every day life...

like me. You know what I

I mean by that?

Maybe.

But as I know

you is not...

Crazy?

I am also a Virgo.

That 'is not typical of our sign.

Let your apartment.

Okay.

Gotta go.

I'm busy now.

That can wait.

I have to go.

Now?

Sorry.

Bobby? It's Sandy.

Concentrate on my voice.

Do not listen to anyone else.

They do not exist.

Why do you

not tried to help him?

Bobby...

me.

Where are you?

Bobby open.

Dammit...

open soon.

Okay, I'm coming.

PUNTA DEL LESTE, URUGUAl

ONE YEAR DEPOlS

Here's the flop.

Not bad.

Chance of straight.

He will think I have a pair.

Increase.

I do not know why Anna came today

she hates gambling.

Keep thinking.

Two thousand.

His two thousand and five.

What a beautiful drug.

Paid.

Five.

His five and my five.

His five...

and two thousand.

Paid.

Looks like you won.

Congratulations.

It was pure luck.

Again and again.

Soon, I'll have to...

Excuse me...

I'll be back here in a second.

If you're drunk again,

Lazarus, I swear...

You told me I was

the only agent in this mission.

You're the one, you already know.

But what is happening?

It's the Widmann Syndrome?

It's not Widmann.

Someone came over me.

Do you have any idea who it was?

No, no.

So, excuse

and get gone.

Let's make

a review tonight.

Ladies and Gentlemen,

I need to close the evening.

My apologies.

You're right, Josh?

You do not look any better.

I'm fine, Rolf. I'm a little

hypoglycemic, that's it.

Good evening.

Good evening.

I should have come alone.

If he looks for one more second,

I'll hit him.

I'll charge you double.

I think he can afford.

Sandy!

Happy birthday, Joshua.

Thank you, please.

Forgive me for not celebrating.

Hello

Please?

Sounds like a great girl.

She's good.

You have taken

your medication?

When I remember.

These remedies are the only way

delay the onset of Widmann.

So instead of going crazy fast

I slowly go insane.

At least, these drugs help.

They are not like those.

Do not get me wrong, Sandy...

but you have no idea

than I spend.

No one who is normal

have no idea. Not even you.

Even with the drugs, how many

attackers arrived in 29 years...

with sanity intact?

-No.

"And how many candles...

there on my cake

birthday today?

Twenty-eight. But the drugs are

better every year, maybe you...

When you have gone to so many

heads as I ever was, Sandy...

you will stop believing

in miracles.

I'm lucky

having come this far.

Bobby was only 26.

Do not lose hope.

The research we are doing

House is making great strides.

Maybe.

Anyway, if I freak out a month before

or a month later...

does not make much difference.

It was good to see you, Sandy...

but you did not come to Uruguay

just to know about my meds...

and if I've been drinking.

Again.

You know how they are paranoid.

They care a lot about you...

even I had given my word

none of you...

would never invade any of them.

But they are terrified

attacker with this new idea loose.

I should help him find

who is this new invader.

And there...

one more reason

something personal.

The decision.

You must make the decision now

while still lucid.

I need to go.

Diaz invited me.

For some reason,

the poor devil wants to be my friend.

You know, he is the Minister of Finance

Argentina's...

and they want me to take him into bankruptcy,

because it does not come into play.

Not like this.

What horror.

I should not have agreed

to hire one of you.

And they always ask

or you Kira.

They are the only intruders

considered sensible.

Anyway, sorry for doing it

accept these government jobs.

But the House needs the money.

No need to justify

for me, Sandy.

You saved my life.

Joshua, welcome.

Glad you came.

I guess you never knew

My daughter Anna the other night.

Anna, this is Joshua Lazarus.

He was taking a truck

money from me...

but kept the class

unhappy with that opinion.

Very pleased.

It's your hypoglycemia again?

"It must be.

Sorry, Rolf, could you get me

a glass of water and something sweet?

Of course.

Meanwhile,

you may know each other better.

So it was you.

"What's happening?

It's okay...

I'm like you.

Not possible.

He thought he was the one?

I'm not liking it.

Get out.

Okay,

do not worry.

Do not tell my father.

Get out.

And then you have

something in common?

Excuse me, Rolf, I am not

feeling any better. Gotta go.

-Nice to meet you, Anna.

-My pleasure.

We searched everyone in the room

and the two adjacent.

"There's nothing yet.

"And the Canadians?

They say they know nothing.

It is clear that our questions

were very vague.

You will have instructions

in an hour.

I started hearing voices again.

You can control them?

For now, yes.

How long do I have?

Since the emergence of voices...

sanity is gone in a month.

I'm sorry.

No regrets.

I had enough time.

Thank you for being...

honest with me, Sandy.

Here, they are stronger...

should help a little.

Be sure to take them regularly.

You need me in the house, Josh.

So...

you must decide now.

Do not make

the same mistake as Bobby.

Decide for me.

I'm serious.

Bobby you visited lately?

No. ..

I can not.

The NSA insists

keep it tied at...

even under sedation.

Yes

Do nothing sentimental...

with the ashes.

Promise?

When you feel

the voices are too...

back to the House.

Hi.

"Hello.

You'll be out there?

We do not believe in staying

in people's minds...

if they do not want us there.

Unless they are normal.

Who is''we''?

There are others like us.

Not many.

You know, when I said''Exit''

not meant to go.

I meant to leave.

I was not prepared

for that.

Now, are you?

You are better this time?

Best.

You are almost fuzzy, you know?

I thought I should be so,

but you're not.

Can I fix it for you.

"Okay, that does not bother me.

Do not worry, it's an easy technique.

Okay.

Right. Look at your feet.

Now, focus on them. See them well.

Put light on them.

Now go up through your body

and keep the focus.

Now is better.

If we open ourselves to each other,

things will get easier.

What is this?
