The Speed of Thought Page #2

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.

It's something we do very much.

Knock down our walls

and we merge in our heads.

We learned everything about each other.

Everything?

It may be that we do not like

long after that...

but at least

we'll understand.

I have to go,

are waiting for me.

What you got?

Well, a little vodka for me...

and for you, a laxative.

Cherry flavor.

What got to know

the girl?

Not much.

So is not it?

"I doubt it.

"You doubt. Very helpful.

If you do not like the way

I work, call another.

Very nice this place.

It is very organized.

You talking to me?

I do not remember inviting him.

I was talking to the waiter.

He is also a telepath.

Very funny.

Anyway, I did it for you.

You seem to be someone

who likes order.

I've...

I prefer Kandinsky to Mondrian.

We need order.

That's how Sandy teaches us

dealing with chaos.

Who is Sandy?

-Sandy taught me everything.

Who trained them?

How so?

Who taught her to use

your skills?

Nobody.

Not possible. You can not

fighting with the voices alone.

You need not fight.

It took me years to learn this.

I do not understand.

We need to understand better.

Let us open.

I do not know, no.

Will help.

And if there's something

you do not want me to know...

-Just put an obstacle.

-An obstacle?

Say you do not want

I know that chair.

Put a wall around her...

or a door...

or Stonehenge.

But...

if I push...

I can see the chair.

That 'depends on the strength

the obstacle.

Anyway,

do not push anything.

If you push,

I'll be very angry.

Do not worry.

In a few seconds

you understand everything.

My God.

Finally, you came back.

Kira?

I can only see a certain

Uruguayan number of novels.

What are you doing here?

They said you were

problems...

they wanted someone a little

older and much wiser.

I was worried if you had

outbursts, or I would have refused.

I was at a retreat

lighting.

"But it seems you have no freaking out.

Not yet.

Great.

In fact, you lost

my birthday.

My condolences delayed.

We both arrived at 28.

How likely is that?

God must have

a plan for us.

How are you?

Still drinks, I see.

I imagine you still trance

with any being that moves.

Sorry, not fair.

Any move to be beautiful.

I turn right.

Well? We are not satisfied

with''good''.

Have you ever...

entered into some head...

and found something strange?

Every time.

I feel disgust and discomfort.

Sometimes even ties.

-Even more strange?

Strange how-...

you do not want it to end.

Is that sick.

There was something powerful.

And scary.

For both, I think.

It was almost as if we were

the same person.

Different but equal.

You know what I'm talking about?

Are you all right?

Am.

You can not enjoy

someone to whom he opened...

because you know

too well.

The best thing you can do is

tolerate each other, as I tolerate.

Okay...

forget.

It is the unknown attacker?

Her name is Anna.

She is the daughter of Diaz.

You told them that was not her.

So let's get this straight.

You said that you share

each of their pathetic little secret...

was nice?

Well, I blocked a lot,

but not that.

We are very...

compatible.

Okay.

I see that there is only one way

to prove to you.

No, I can not.

All these idiosyncrasies,

I know that must have worsened.

It is not easy

for me too.

You have that nasty fetish

student in uniform...

-I would never, never...

"I know. Now, c'mon.

Let's get this over with.

I need you to understand.

I can not...

okay?

I'm afraid to infect it.

You know, I heard voices, too.

It's alright.

Not me.

I'm so ahead, Josh.

Right.

Come take a walk.

Let's talk.

Who is it?

I still do not know.

It's a lie.

His poker face

is terrible, Lazarus.

You're lucky

you can cheat.

You got a lot of time

the men's room.

Is there anything I need to know?

First, you will not go back there,

is very risky.

Second, you will not contact

anyone who was in that room...

today or any other day.

I can block them.

I am the only

that is not at risk.

Thanks for your opinion, Lazarus.

No contacts. Zero.

And Diaz?

Someone else will deal with Diaz.

The attacker is your priority.

We need to talk.

I know.

Sorry if I ran away last time,

but I was exhausted.

These unions

always like this?

They are not.

Never.

Because it was really...

Scary?

Wonderful.

And scary.

Yes

It was the most amazing thing

I've ever felt.

I know.

I know you know.

Is not it strange?

I know.

I know you know.

We will open again.

I choke less stuff.

Okay.

You are still blocking

much.

I think a little

Privacy is good.

Of course, but I want

know her as much as possible.

You know me very well.

And I know what you

feeling for me.

That 'not something that should

happen to us.

Well, you thought it.

And me too.

Have you ever thought it would be like...

old?

No.

Just as I never thought it would be like

turn a frog. Not gonna happen.

You're lying.

Of course it does.

Wow!

What?

Nothing.

Sit at a table close.

Anything else

I can do for you?

To be frank, yes.

Take in the towel

naturally.

AGAIN:

WE SOBREVlVEMOS

It's my favorite movie.

I know.

I know you know.

And the guy on the right

looks a lot like...

His aunt Louise.

Yeah, yeah.

"She can not be so ugly.

You are very kind,

but it is so.

Thanks.

It's great.

I wanted to ask you, how you

can be so unfair to my father?

It has to do with you.

I'm just doing

bets of my country.

The NSA loves us, we are

as wireless eavesdropping.

There are no guarantees.

Give an honest answer, Josh.

Sandy teaches us that these

works are for the general good.

He uses the payments of the NSA

to help other invaders.

I do not like the term''invaders.''

It's an ugly word...

and you use it to justify things

horrible they are asked to do.

You would like to be

cheating with his father?

I do not see my father for 20 years,

then...

Listen, we have rules

we follow.

No.

You leave to do so

because no empathy with anyone.

They taught

to keep others out...

but if you leave all

come, you'd be happier.

No thanks.

All selfishness, hatred of the millions

and petty prejudices.

It's too much.

But there is another side.

There's the rose that blooms

in the heart of the beloved.

You just need

let yourself see it.

See the other side.

MULTI-YEAR TOGETHER

Anna, I must tell you more

on the syndrome Widmann.

You have a chance.

You only have 26 years...

maybe they can find...

healing time for you.

Actually, I'm not 26.

Sorry...

but I induce

to think that I'm 26.

Do not mind a marriage.

Well ..

I lied.

But then,

how old are you?

I just turned 31.

Not possible.

I gotta go.

Beware, it can kill you.

Peyote?

It's for my retreat.

Did not know you could do

his retreat here.

Well, do not have much time

to find the light...

then, can not be

very rigid.

Each has their own way to overcome.

Some seek a sense...

instead of wasting

the little time that we...

-If you do not want to be here...

"We can not hide it forever.
