[Music] [Music] [Music] [Applause] [Music] [Music] For a homeless veteran. Please, friend, please. I went to war with your father to the Persian Gulf and they still haven't paid me for this leg. Thank you. And Chan, Jackie Chan. Express to Shanghai. I accept. Check yourselves, traveler. Arigato. Thank you. [Music] [Applause] Here. Thank you. [Music] [Music] Ah, no. Let me go quickly. He's dying. [Music] Halt! What's happening? Get away from her. What happened to him? Hey, he didn't do anything. Who was it, ma'am? That man. No, no, no. A couple of thieves came and 48. Speaks Roman. Robbery and assault victim with injury at door 42. This, sir. I'm going to ask you to stay here. Yes, of course. You're going somewhere. I just arrived. My travels end when they begin. And your luggage? I don't require that. Do you have a ticket, a train ticket, a stub? I didn't arrive by train. Can you remove your glasses, please? I'd rather not. I forgot. But the truth is, your planet is very bright. I understand. This 42, we have a problem. You must come with us. Of course. [Music] [Music] Freddy, did you see him enter through a door? He didn't enter through a door, he appeared out of nowhere. Do you understand what I'm saying? Yes, Freddy, I understand. [Music] [Music] [Applause] [Music] He [Music] [Applause] [Music] [Applause] [Music] [Music] [Applause] [Music] [Applause] [Music] [Applause] [Music] [Applause] Manhattan Psychiatric Institute. I don't want to go out because there are things that kill you. Thank you. You breathe in all those chemicals outside, not to mention the cosmic rays and the Nile virus and that other one, that pigeon disease that no one wants to talk about. Pigeon sickness, I've heard of it. And another thing that bothers me is the food. The cafeteria serves cold food full of germs. You really need to do something about that. Dr. Powell. Heat is the only thing that kills germs. Mm. Good point. We'll look into it immediately, but in the meantime, I want you to start with the previous medication. It will help you sleep. You need to sleep, Ernie. Sleep is good. Time's up. Only two calls today. Your wife, who's carrying a bottle of wine. Yes. And Dr. Chakraborty, transfer from Belebu, needs you. Great. Who is it this time? Jesus Christ or Joan of Arc? Dr. Chakra didn't say. Doctor, doctor with [Music] He arrived at Belvio a month ago. under suspicion of hallucinogenic intoxication, but ah, tests for substances of any kind were negative. Blood levels are normal, no signs of contusion, no brain tumor, no temporal lobe damage, or indication of organic abnormality at all. However, after a month, his amnesia and his conviction have persisted. He says he is not human, but a visitor from another planet. Toracine was administered to this man for three weeks. 300 mg daily and he did not react. How do they expect him to react with 300 mg of toracine? It's impossible. That's why they sent him to you. Great. No identification. Does not match missing persons reports. What is this? He had it. Let's hope aliens qualify for medication. He's here. Thank you, Joyce. Medical record 287, he calls himself, yes. He's as gentle as a kitten, Doc. Come in. Take a seat. Take a seat. Curious expression. Well, let me introduce myself. I am Dr. Mark Powell, head of the Manhattan Psychiatric Clinical Institute. Well, do you know where you are? Well, now, yes, I see. Well, we are here, please. Red Delight, they call this variety. It's my favorite. I'd like to start by asking if you know why you're here. Of course, you think I'm crazy. We prefer to say sick. Do you think you're sick? I miss my home, perhaps. Seriously, where is your home? KX. Kapax. Capital K. Hypercapitals. P A X. KX is a planet. Don't worry. I won't jump out of your chest. I'm not worried. It's just that I only know that nine planets exist. Well, in fact, there are 10, but that doesn't matter. I'm not from your solar system. Capax is thousands of light-years from this planet, in what you would call the Laira constellation. That's very far. I wonder how you got to Earth. It's a matter of adapting light energy. I know it will sound crazy to you. You are still far from discovering such travel. Light speed travel? Ah, no. We travel much faster, multiplied many times over. Otherwise, the journey here would take thousands of years, wouldn't it? And if I told you that according to a man who lived on our planet named Einstein, nothing can travel faster than the speed of light. I would say he didn't understand Einstein. Dr. Powell, can I call you Mark? You see, Mark. What Einstein said was that nothing can accelerate to the speed of light because its mass would become infinite. Einstein said nothing about entities traveling at or faster than light speed, tachyon speed. Tachyon. I detect a note of skepticism, Dr. Powell. Ah, not at all. It's just that you speak the language very well. It really surprises me. This language is not difficult to learn. You should try speaking Paxo. Well, I'm actually confused. Uh, maybe you can explain to me how, being a visitor from space, you look the same as me or any other Earthling. Why does soap make bubbles? Why does soap make bubbles? To be an educated person, Mark, you repeat things very slowly. Have you noticed that? Soap makes bubbles because it's the most efficient energy configuration. Likewise, on your planet, I look like you. On Capax, I look like a Capaxian. Why did you want to come to our planet? Well, I've been here many times, but what brought me the first time? I don't know. Pure curiosity, I guess. I had never been a BA Class Stage 3 on this planet. BA Class, Stage 3. First phase of evolution. Uncertain future. And I give all my possessions to feed the poor. Come on. You really come from above. That's right. I come from CapX. What kind of place? Apax is larger than your planet, and we are surrounded by seven purple moons. Lies, lies, lies, lies, lies, lies. Continue. Well, CapX is more beautiful when Camon and Caril are in conjunction. They are two of our suns that you would call Agape and Satori here. [Music] [Music] Did you do your homework, Gabim? Yes, I lost another tooth. Ah, let me see. Maybe the tooth fairy will come tonight, huh? Dad, there's no such thing as the tooth fairy. It's you and Mom. Hi, I've already fed them, it's late. How did it go? The 6 o'clock one was delayed. I left the station at 6:30. I must catch the first ray of light. Did you see what? Ah, nothing. How did it go for you? Well, I sent the deposit for the Cape House, the last fortnight of August, which is perfect because Gabi finishes her camp on. You sent the deposit. Yes, please, Rachel, it wasn't definitive, we just talked. I said, maybe, maybe it can be in August. Maybe, maybe I should start paying you for your time. There's a family discount. Look, they published my letter. I spoke with Natalie about going to that school program. next year in case I return to teach. And this morning my head fell off, but I was able to sew it back on with waxed dental floss. Of course. Dental floss. I'm sorry, I didn't hear. Yes, I know. Just eat. The train was delayed. I'm tired, and besides, the city floods us with patients. I know. [Music] You smell bad. [Music] Have a good day, Sal. I've been to 64 planets in our galaxy. Earth is the only one of its species, Homo sapiens, that I've visited so far. When did you arrive on Earth? 4 years and 9 months ago. And how long is that? In Earth terms, 337 years. My age multiplies seven times traveling through a multiple of six. But seriously, dear Mark, it seems like only an instant. Dear, time collapses at super light speed. Well, I would say psychotic anxiety, nothing more. Ah, it's too easy to call it psychotic. It's a diagnosis made lightly. Oh, yes. Well, he believes he came from another planet. What's your diagnosis, fatigue? For what reason does he not respond to Haldol? Haldol can make you more psychotic. It's rare, but it can happen. Look, maybe the medicine isn't useful for someone like him, but I don't know. Maybe it's a good candidate for administering Betacine, which is in testing. Do you want to experiment with him before having a diagnosis? Do you have any other ideas? Well, he's not dangerous to anyone. How about meeting him first? And in the meantime, we have 10 new transfers to attend to, don't we? You know? Maybe what's wrong with him is that he's, uh, he's from. What? From the planet Capax. Davis Case 5, permit. [Music] For its products, it's worth the trip. Could you tell me a little about your youth on Capax? Where were you born? You were born. Mm. Right? Do you have babies? Oh, yes, very similar to Earth, but different from humans. The reproductive process is less pleasant for us. Could you compare the effect to something I would understand? Like pain. It's like putting your essence into a vessel, except we feel everything, and it's worse for us. The sensation would be something like your nausea accompanied by a very bad smell. The moment of climax is like being punched in the stomach and falling into a pool of mod urine. Mod urine. A mod is similar to how your skunks are, only more potent. Ah, it sounds like a terrible experience. How do you reproduce? With the greatest care possible. What are you doing? You reminded me of something I want to include in my report. Your report, yes. We are accustomed to compiling descriptions of the places and people we encounter throughout the galaxy. [Music] Good morning, good morning. Hello, friend. Good morning, Maria. Come on, Mr. Freedman. Calm, calm. Look, it's this way. Good morning, see? She doesn't talk to anyone. She's afraid smoke will come out of her mouth when she speaks. She's been like this since she was a child. She set her house on fire. You shouldn't play with fire, it's very dangerous. It was an electrical fire. Why do you make up stories like that? Ernie has a powerful imagination. [Music] Ignore, please, Doris, you must get out of your room sometime. Look what I brought for you. Do it again and I'll punish you. Her royal highness doesn't leave her room, not even to eat. No wonder she's here. I'm tired of all this. Every day she doesn't want to eat or anything. I hate her. [Music] The service here is disastrous. Good morning, Mrs. Archer. Lauris, I wasn't expecting a gentleman's visit. Until later. Excuse me, do you have the table set for two? Yes, I'm waiting for someone. How long have you been waiting? 11 years. Someone around here would call it dementia, but I prefer to call it romantic. Romantic, like a raft in the moonlight or a candlelit dinner or a sunset. No, we have those. On CAPAX, we have two suns. Ah, they rise together once every 200 years, and it's a beautiful sight. He definitely has sensitivity to white light, but I think his range is what will interest you. What am I seeing? Ah, he can detect light in a range of 300 to 400 ultraviolet. Of course. Proud explains that this is because his planet has a peculiar quality of light due to its two suns. The Japxians use light conditions like our twilight most of the time. Wait, wait, wait a minute. I don't think humans can see ultraviolet light. You're right. [Applause] [Music] [Music] Good morning, Joy. That's a beautiful outfit you're wearing today. Thanks, Meis. Come in. This is much better. I feel like I'm at home. [Music] I was hoping you'd tell me more about your home. Tell me, what would you like to know? Well, uh, you have family on Capax. It doesn't work the same way as here, Mark. On Capax, we don't have families the way you think. In fact, family isn't primordial on our planet as it is on most others. In other words, you didn't know your parents. On Capax, children are not raised by biological parents, Mark, but by everyone. They are around us, learning from one and then another. Do you have a child? No. And do you have a wife waiting for you on Capax? Mark, Mark, Mark. Haven't you been listening to anything I've told you? We don't have marriages on Capachs. There are no wives, no husbands, no families. I understand. And what about the social structure? The government. No, you don't need one. You have no laws, no laws, no lawyers. How do you know what's wrong? Every being in the universe knows good and evil. But if someone does something wrong, commits murder or rape, how do you punish them? Let me tell you something, Mark. Humans, most of them, have this policy of an eye for an eye, a life for a life, which is known throughout the universe to be foolish. Although your Buddha and your Christ had a different vision, no one paid much attention to them, not even Buddhists or Christians. Humans. Sometimes it's hard to imagine how far they've come. [Music] Children, be careful. Children. Come on. Daddy's ready. That's enough. Hey, where are you now? Come on. Hey, kids, wash up. Josh, chain that dog. Josh. Come on. Great. Tasty. It's great. How was your trip to Princeton? Not too bad. Yes, we stopped by to see Michael. Oh, how nice, brother. Quite a trip for you. Well, it was his birthday. I know it was his birthday. I sent him a card and a nice, magnificent check as always. You know? Uh, it wouldn't hurt if you picked up the phone sometime and talked to your son. Thanks, Abi. Can you pass me the salad, please? Here you go. Oh, right. About that, he also knows how to pick up the phone. I'm thinking of inviting him for Christmas. That's great. He'll spend Christmas with his mother. He wouldn't come here. How do you know when the last time you asked him was? Am I the patient or what? A beer, please. Thank you. Want more? I can have one of two. Yes, of course. Want salad? Yes. Thank you, Steve. I want to ask you a favor, something strange. What can I do for you, doctor? Well, I have a patient, sit down. I have a patient who seems to know your field well. Your patient is an astronomer. Let's see, doctor, tell me about him. Well, he says he comes from a planet he calls Capax. Yes, he says it's thousands of light-years from here, near the Laira constellation. Uh-huh. He's big-headed, green, and this tall. I think I know him. How funny, isn't it? He is, uh, very convincing, I mean, of course he's human, he's just, well, he's the most convincing delusion I've ever encountered. And if I prove to him that the Capax thing is just an invention of his imagination, then maybe he'll know who he really is. Of course. Water, please. I can give you a list of questions for him. Magnificent. All his books and papers scattered everywhere as usual, and he's just sitting there. Any change in his medication? I gave him the usual. Anafranil 250 mg. Well, something's wrong with him. An obsessive-compulsive doesn't sit there staring out the window. [Music] Ah, good morning, Dr. Powell. Good morning. What? Are you looking for? A sparrow? A sparrow. The bird of happiness. He told me to look for the bird of happiness. He told you, "It's a task, the first of three. I don't know what the others are yet. He'll tell me. If I complete the three, I'll be healed." [Music] Okay, Ernie, hold your breath. That's it. See? There's no particle to worry about. First of all, I would have seen it, and it's not like that. Good morning, monkey cage at 7. Yes, bathe, bathe. Ernie, can you excuse us for a moment, please? It's good to see you outside, Ernie. Thank you. Oh, Ernie, you're ugly too. Prote, it's one thing to be interested in patients, and another to make them believe you'll cure them. You're a bit upset, Mark, to paraphrase Navarro. Calm down. For your information, all beings have the capacity to heal themselves. We've known that on Capx for millions of years. Listen to me, on this planet, I am the doctor, and you are the patient. Mm. Doctor, patient. A curious human distinction. It's not your job to cure Hawi, Ernie, or Maria, or anyone else. It's mine. And why haven't you cured them yet? Oh, by the way, here are the answers you asked for. I hope you're satisfied. This way, this way. Number one, I can correct the data on your planetary system. [Music] I don't know what to say, Mar. This is very strange. Inconsistencies. Well, I don't know exactly. I mean, you see, your patient indicates that his planet Capax orbits in a binary star system, Agape and Satori. Yes, near the Laira constellation. He could have read it, right? That's the strange thing, Mark. He couldn't have. I mean, except for my boss, Don Canfln, one of the world's leading astrophysicists, and maybe two or three of his colleagues. Nobody knows much about the possibility of planets in that system. It hasn't been reported in any journal yet. Tell me, did Donkan really assign this to you? You know, is this some kind of joke? No, it's not a joke. Ah, Steve. Ah, tell me, do you know of any stray astrophysicists? I can't say yes, but there are many here who would like to meet your friend. Thank you very much, Steve. I appreciate it. But unlike humans. The reproductive process is not less pleasant. Try to explain how it is. It's painful. [Applause] [Music] That's very good. A B C. Well, well. Not so fast. It's okay. [Music] [Music] [Music] [Music] [Music] [Music] [Music] This is your neighborhood. It will only take a minute. Yes, it's a favor Dr. Powell asked us to do. How are you? Hello, gentlemen. I appreciate you agreeing to see them. Thank you, Dr. Powell. We'd like to get to the bottom of this as much as you do. Thank you, doctor. Allow me to introduce Prot. It's a pleasure to meet you. I am Dr. Becker. He is Dr. FL, and Doctors Patel and Hesler. Doctor, doctor, doctor, doctor. How many doctors are there on this planet? [Laughter] [Music] Wow, it's wonderful. Please, BR, take. This is incredible. Home. Do you feel at home? We found your notes very interesting, Prot. And we'd like to ask you some questions if you agree. Of course. Well, I'll dive into it. And do you know how to swim? Yes, of course. Let's start with that idea of light travel. What can you tell us about it? I can't say anything. If I tell you, you could get hurt, or worse, someone else. You'd be surprised how much energy is in a ray of light. So, maybe you could show us how that travel works. As a demonstration. That would be good. Goodbye. Aloha. When are you going to I'm back already? Well, where I come from, that's called the fastest revolver in the West. I don't come from where you come from, Dr. Becker. Rad, you indicated in your notes that your planet Capax orbits around two stars, Agape and Satori, near the Laira constellation. We're intrigued as to how you obtained knowledge of such a planetary system. Professor, where I come from, it's common knowledge. Let's see. This was taken from the Hubble. We computerized the link based on Dr. Patel's readings from the telescopes in Chile and Hawaii. It's the clearest image we have of where you come from. We'd like to see if you can draw a diagram on the screen of the orbital pattern your planet has in that system. It would be my pleasure. [Music] [Music] [Music] I think that's correct. Steve, can you send that? In that [Music] what's happening [Music] [Music] I hope my calculations help explain the perturbations you've been seeing in the rotation pattern of your binary star, which haven't been explained until now. How do you know this? How can you? Every Capaxian knows this. Just like every child on Earth knows their planet revolves around the Sun. Common knowledge, isn't it? [Music] What, what happened there? I mean, he could be a genius, one of those geniuses who make fake copies of Rembrandts who can't remember their own name. You don't believe him, do you, Steve? [Music] I don't know what I believe, Mark, but I know what I saw. He just gave you a magnificent. Now it gets more interesting. I've moved, I've moved. It's your turn, but you can't move that. It's a [Music] sparrow. Don't wait, wait for your turn. Sparrow, [Music] sparrow, sparrow, sparrow, sparrow. Sparrow, where? Sparrow, Hawi, sparrow, sparrow, sparrow, sparrow, where are you? Sparrow, sparrow, sparrow, sparrow, sparrow, sparrow, sparrow. [Music] Hawi, sparrow, come back. Sparrow. Sparrow, sparrows bite. S. Sparrow, no, they don't bite, they stink. Sparrow, sparrow, sparrow. Look, there's a sparrow. Sparrow, [Music] lightning, disturbances at 12. Sparrow, the Hawaiian sparrow. Sparrow, sparrow, sparrow, sparrow, sparrow. Glory, glory, glory, glory, glory, glory, glory, glory, glory, glory, glory, glory, glory. Collective history. Betty, Betty, what the hell is going on here? Come on, come on, come on. It's okay, it's okay. See? Head. Look, look. What's going on here, Dr. Powell? What the hell is outside? It's a simple sparrow. A sparrow. Get back to your activities. Relax. It's a sparrow. Everything is fine. Now let's go back. Sir, your room. Get out of your room. Very well. There it is. Look at it over there. A sparrow. Yes. Go back to your room. A sparrow. [Music] It's time to rest. It's all over. Don't worry. It was just a sparrow around here. Now let's go back. Okay, come with me. Very well. Very well, Rose. Get back to your activities. That's right. Yes, it is. I'll accompany you. [Music] I know who you are. You are the sparrow. Good evening, hello, how are you today? Very well. That's good, Maria, friend. Excuse me. About that light travel. I was wondering if you could teach me how to do it. I've endured the plague of this place for 10 years. I want to leave. Do you understand me? I used to be a doorman at the Plaza for 15 years until I started noticing it. Notice what? They all stank, and I tried to tell them, but they brought me here, and this place, this place stinks worse than all the others, except for you. You don't stink, and I thought you could help me. You should smell the flowers on my planet and the sweet breeze. They're similar to your plum trees. I'd like to, I'd like to smell that. I'd like to go there, to your planet. I'm afraid I can only take one person with me when I leave. Ah, I had my weekly session with Sal today. He says to take you to Capax. In fact, most of the patients on Ward 2 told me they're going to CAPAX. I wonder if it's wise to make promises to patients in a psychiatric hospital. No, no, no, Mark. I was very clear with each of them. I can only take one person with me when I return. Return. Hey, Mark, don't misunderstand me. You've been very hospitable. Hospital, hospitable. My time here is almost over, and I'm impatient to return. Return to Capax. Yes, of course. Where else? You plan to return to Capax again. You're repeating yourself, Mark. Yes, I have to take a trip north, and then I plan to return to Capax. Joyce gave me these strawberries this morning from her garden in Hobokin. Delicious. You must forgive me, but this is a bit confusing. When do you plan to leave? On July 27th. Why? Why on July 27th? For safety. I can go anywhere on Earth without fear of bumping into someone traveling at super speed, but beings come and go all the time from Capax. It has to be coordinated. Are you telling me you're going back to Capax? On July 27th at 5:51 AM, Eastern time. Hey, hey, honey, Mark, you were just dreaming. You were just dreaming. Daddy, Mark, where are you going? What's happening? Go back to sleep. It's okay, Daddy. It's okay. He just has a stomach ache. When did you arrive on Earth? 4 years and a month ago, time. Listen. When did you arrive on Earth? 4 years and 9 months ago of your time. 4 years, 9 months, and 3 days ago, it will be 5 years by July 27th, which is when he leaves. What? Come back here, Pax. Mark, what's wrong with you? Rachel, Mark, it's 12 AM. What is it that patient? He's telling me that 5 years ago, on July 27th, something terrible happened to him, some horrible trauma, and I need to know what it is. Mom, what's happening? It's incredible. Nothing, nothing's happening. Go to sleep. Come on, nothing's happening. I've got it. The space man. Space man. Space man. No, no, no. Listen to me, listen to me, please, listen to me. He'll arrive any moment. I want you to calm down, be yourselves, and act natural. Yes, it's okay, man. Come on, come on, come on. When he arrives, I want you to behave. Yes, he'll undo us with his. It's okay. Do it. Have it. Oh, I don't want to. I can't believe I'm agreeing to this. I've tried everything else, Rachel. I want him to spend the Fourth of July here. If he sees a normal family environment, it might bring back memories. Since when have we been a normal family? Please, Rachel, they've arrived today. I feel very uncomfortable. Why? Joyce's son is on his school's wrestling team, and Betty's husband is an ex-cop. Hello. Hello. Hello, Joy. Hello, Betty. Hello. I'm glad you came, Dom. For God's sake, he's my husband. He looks just like Bider. That embarrasses him. Welcome, Prot. She's my wife, Rachel. Nice to meet you, Rachel. Thank you very much for inviting me today. Thank you for coming. Careful, careful. Shasta. Shasta. No, Shasta. Here, here. Shasta. Hello. Hello. That dog doesn't like anyone. Children, children, children, stand there. Uh-uh, okay. He says he doesn't like it when his favorite sneaker is hidden from him, and he doesn't hear well on his left side, and you shouldn't hide from her. It can't be. Let's eat. Yes. Accompany me. Come. I have water. Come on, kids. Let's eat. Don't bite him. All right, kids. Come on. Be careful. Gabi. I'll catch you. You can't. I bet I can. Okay, here's the food. Anyone want some? R Mark says you don't eat meat. That's healthy. Speaking of which, hamburgers. How delicious. Hamburgers are fine. Yes, thank you. Do you want Josh? There's more here. I want one, but I'm going to get myself something to drink because I'm very thirsty. These hamburgers are delicious. I already had [Laughter] [Music] [Applause] [Music] [Applause] [Music] [Applause] [Music] [Applause] [Music] [Applause] [Music] Yes, yes. Come back, come back. [Music] [Music] [Music] [Music] It's okay. [Music] That photograph over the piano of the young man with the others. That's Michael, Mark's son from his first marriage. How many marriages has he had? Only two. I hope. Are you waiting for me? Didn't he break a world record or something? But the young man in the photograph isn't here today. No, he doesn't live with us. He's away at college, and the truth is, Mark and he don't talk. I don't know why I'm telling you this. Maybe because I'm a lunatic locked up. What harm can I do? Maybe, maybe. Be that as it may. Dr. Powell is trying to teach me the importance of you being home and your biological connections. Do you think he cares? You don't. Do you know what a family is? Don't worry. [Music] I won't tell them you know. Don't you have a family? No, we don't have families on Capax. [Music] Well, then you're missing a lot. I'll go get some lemonade. I still remember the It's okay. Fourth of July. Thank you for inviting me today, Mark. Once again. You're welcome. No, no, no, I'm tired of it. Take me to the swing. Okay. And now it's your turn. That's fine. Great. And this is called Go to sleep with the IAM. Correct. But first, hold on very tight. Okay. Ready. Wait for me. [Music] [Applause] Here we go. Come, come closer to the water. No, no, no. Come on, come. Don't come closer. No, don't go. Stay. No, don't go near the water. No, no. Stay here. Ah, stay. No, no, don't come closer. R, no, over here, B, quickly. Calm down, calm down. Turn off the tap. Stay, close it. Here it is. R, calm down. No, no, no, no, no. It's okay. Betty, where are her glasses? I have them here. Calm down. Here, R. [Music] What happened? [Music] It smells like apple pie, doesn't it? Honey, are you okay? Yes. Ah. He pushed my daughter on the swing like he had hundreds of times before, not like a Capax alien. I saw it, he was connected to something, something from his normal life. That's not enough. He's a violent patient. He's not violent. Something violent happened to him. Something in his past. When he went after Natalie, he wasn't trying to harm her, he was trying to protect her. from the sprinklers. I'm not sure what. I need more than a hunch to proceed. Otherwise, I have to send him to. We need a regression, take him to the past, find out what happened, and then confront him. Regression. Do you have any idea of the risk of a regression in a patient like this? It's his only chance. Claudia, we have to push him. There's no time. He told me he's going back to Capax on July 27th. That's in three weeks. I think he might become violent that day, hurt himself or someone else. Do you know what your problem is, Mark? That you're too close to this patient. We all see it except you. I'll transfer him to the fourth floor, and that's that. I know I'm very close to him. Yes, well, I admit it. Why did you choose to save him? I don't know. Maybe, maybe because I feel like he chose me. Has anyone seen PR? He went north for a few days. North, yes, to Greenland. Iceland. You know. He has to visit a few countries before he can finish his report. Don't worry, Dr. Powell will return. How do you know, Arne? Because he took his glasses, and when he returns to Capax, he won't need them. [Music] Patients don't escape from this institution. They don't escape. There's no evidence of escape, but obviously, I've notified the police and social services. I'll have a great time explaining this to the board of directors. I have psychotics on the fourth floor packing their things because they think they're going to Capax. Claudia, for him. [Music] What about the refuge cities? Have you checked them? No, I won't tell you how to do your job. Thank you. [Music] Ah. [Applause] [Music] God. [Music] Ah, Dr. Powell. Where the hell have you been? Newfoundland, Greenland, Iceland, Labrador. All right, don't lie. I've been looking for you for three days. Well, I think I mentioned I was going on a trip north, Mark. It was a task. That you were going on a trip. You're a patient. You can't leave here without a discharge. And don't come to me with that light ray nonsense, because I don't believe it. What would you think if I told you I don't think you traveled to Iceland or Greenland or anywhere? That, that I don't think you come from Capax. I think you're as human as I am. I'd say you need a little toracine, doctor. Well, there's one way you could convince me beyond any doubt, but I need your consent. It's called hypnosis. I'm sorry, I don't know why. I'll tell you your alternative. A trip to a place where they'll stick a needle in your backside every morning, which might leave you with a stupid grimace on your face for the rest of your days on Earth. Is that what you want? I want to help you. What we're going to do is a bit like daydreaming. I'll count from one to ten. On the count of three, your eyes will close, and you'll feel a pleasant, deep, and comfortable calm in a hypnotic state. One, your eyes feel very heavy now. Two, I want you to use your imagination and think that your eyelids are starting to feel heavy and gradually become heavier. Pulse 40 per minute. I'd worry if he were human. Relax. Go, go deep. Four. The wave of relaxation moves through your body now and goes even deeper. And five, keep going, going to the bottom. You are in a hypnotic state now. How do you feel? Nothing. I want you to go back in time. I want you to look for the first experience you can remember. What do you see? What was that? What do you see? I see a silver coffin with a blue one. Whose coffin is that? A friend of my father's. And what is his name? I won't say. Do you know how your friend's father died? He had an accident where he worked. He died in that accident. He was injured and died later. Where did he work? They kill cows at that place. Where is that place? His pulse is 10 per minute. Do you know, do you know where that place is? I want you to relax. I want you to go forward in time now. Where are you? It's getting dark. We're at his house. The other boy's house. Yes. I'm waiting for him to come out. Why? To see the stars. That's where I come from, you know. Is your name Prot? Wow, how do you know that? Where do you come from, Prot? From the planet Capax. It's in the Lara constellation. Do you know all the constellations? Yes, most of them. Does your friend know them too? Yes. When his father got sick, he had to stay home. They had a telescope, and his father taught him all the constellations, but he's not interested in that now. Why not? Something happened, that's why he called me. He calls me when something bad happens, like when his father died. That's right. How do you know when? How does he call you? I don't know. It just came. I just know. How did you get to Earth? I want to leave. I want to leave. Read his body language, Mark. I don't think he wants to talk anymore today. All right, I want you to relax now. Think about the stars. That's it. I'm going to count backward from one to five, and you'll find yourself wide awake and refreshed. Five. You're starting to come out now. Four. You feel more alert. Three. Even more alert. Two, you're starting to wake up now. And one. When did we start? It's over. Road. Ah, the old fastest revolver routine, isn't it? [Music] Let's find the locations of all the slaughterhouses operating in the country. I mean, how many can there be? I don't know. Well, let's eliminate those near big cities and concentrate on small towns, rural areas, places where you can see stars. We have 6 days. Should I take the dishes or leave them here? I guess I won't need them on Capax. I don't even know what they drink. Dream on, sister. He can only take one of us. Why would he take a stinky one like you? He'll take me. How dare you? I don't stink. Forget it. I'm going. Yes. Which one of you? All right. Who wants to start? Ernie. I was wondering if it's possible to get cream of wheat instead of oatmeal because again. I have a suggestion that won't take much time. I'd like to propose a writing contest to decide once and for all who will go with Prot. I spoke with him, and he agrees to read them all by July 27th. And if anyone wants to be considered, please write your reasons legibly and give them to me. Rosel. See? Damn, could I bring my Capx Bible? Of course you could. We can finish the essays later. Now I want you to go back in time again, but not as far as last time. Your friend is there. He's with you now. Yes. What's his name? I won't say. Prod. I'd like to know your friend's name. Well, I won't say. Okay. We have to give him a name. How about Pita? That's not a name, but if you want it that way. What year is it? 1985. How old are you? 175. How old is Pit? 17. Tell me about Pit. What's happening? There's a problem. That's why he called you. He has a girlfriend. The problem is with the girlfriend. She's pregnant. She doesn't want to follow the right path. You get married, you take up the same job your father died in, you have children. The guilt for that. No, no, no. He doesn't blame her. No, just him, how is he going to do that? He hates the chains people live with. We don't have that garbage on CapX. All right, Rad. I want you to listen to me carefully. I want to go forward in time again, say, two weeks ago. If you want, you can open your eyes and move around here. Would you like that? I know that. Road, Road, well, it's 1991, according to the Earth calendar. And did your friend call you? No, for anything in particular. Sometimes he just wants to talk to someone who will listen. Tell me about Pita now. He's a beater. A beater. The beater is the one who hits the cow on the head so it doesn't struggle while its head is being cut off. I know. It's barbaric. He still lives in the same town. Outside the town. He has a small house, but he fixed it up well. He has some trees and a couple of acres. And a river. It reminds me of CapX, except for the river. Tell me, did he marry the pregnant girl? Wow, what a memory. Yes, they got married, but she's not pregnant because that was 6 years ago. I forgot her name. I didn't say her name. Can you tell me now? Sarah, they had a son or daughter. Rebecca, Rebecca, her birthday is in a week. [Music] Ch. What happened? Hawi tried to kill Ernie. What? It's okay, Ernie. I feel fine. Doctor Power. Er, for God's sake, what happened? Ah, my friend Hawi tried to strangle me to death. What? He's a damn bastard. No, love. E, I don't understand. You must have seen it. I was sleeping as I like, with my hands tied and everything. He wrapped my neck with something, I think it was a scarf, and started to squeeze. Something I couldn't do. Well, when I stopped breathing, he lifted me out of bed and brought me here and brought me back very quickly. Then I woke up. Do you know what I realized, Dr. Power? That dying is something you can't control. Why waste my life being afraid? I'll sleep on my stomach from now on. I'll eat fish with bones and swallow all the pills they give me. Bring them. I feel fine. That's great. Ern, I'll see you at the session tomorrow. Yes. I cured him, didn't I? He says one more task and I'll be cured too. And then a good trip. Okay. [Music] [Music] [Music] Ah. [Music] Tell me your name, Rachos. [Music] I'm going to give you an exact date. And I want you to remember where you were and what you were doing that day, understand? Perfectly, dear sir. The date is July 27, 1996. I am on Capax. Are you sure? Of course, governor. I'm eating some cropins. Cropins are a fungus like your truffles. Huge, delicious truffles. Do you like truffles? One moment. There it is. What? Speit. Yes. I feel something is wrong. He needs me. I am on Earth. I'm accompanying him. Where are you? What are you doing? I'm by the river, behind his house. It's dark. He's taking off his clothes. Why is he doing that? What is he doing? He's trying to commit suicide. Why does he want to commit suicide? Because something terrible happened. He did something. He did something he shouldn't have. He doesn't want to talk about it. I'm trying to help you. I can't do it unless you tell me what happened. He already knows. And why don't you tell me? Because then you'd know what he doesn't want you to know. Then you help him. Rad, you must help him. Tell me what happened. But he doesn't want to talk about it. For God's sake, don't you hear me? Time is running out for him. Time runs out for everyone. He's already jumped. He's floating. Pulse 140, respiration 30. For God's sake, Mark, bring him back properly. Listen to me. Listen to me. You can save him. You are his friend. I am his friend, that's why I won't do it. Save him. No, I won't. The current is sweeping you away. There's no way out. I, I, listen to me, you've helped many patients here, Mrs. Archer, you helped How and Erne. I ask you to help cure Pit now. It's a task. I want you to let me talk to him if he's listening. I want him to know he can trust me. I want him to know that if it was Sara or Rebecca who made him enter. No, no, no, no, no. Wait, wait, wait, wait. It's okay, it's okay. For God's sake, no. Ah, for God's sake. Ah, no, it can't be. [Music] Calm down, it's okay. Calm down, it's okay. I'm going to count backward from five to one, and when I count, you'll feel more and more alert. When I count one, I'll snap my fingers, and you'll wake up feeling refreshed. Five, you're starting to come out now. Four. You feel more alert. Three. You're close. Two, you're starting to wake up. And one. Do you feel good? Yes. I feel good. Of course. [Music] No, no, no, no. [Music] God bless you. Speak. Thank you. Next stop in 2 minutes. [Music] That's area code 505. Where is it? New Mexico, sir. New Mexico. [Music] Salvation. Salvation. Salvation. There are a dozen Salvation Army shelters in New Mexico. Albuquerque, Las Cruces, Roswell. One moment. There's one in Santa Rosa. Santa Rosa. Santa Rosa.
Santa Rosa. Here. Gelf. That is very close to Santa Rosa. What is the biggest newspaper in that region? The Guadalupe Observer covers Guadalupe County. Put it on screen. Go to July 27, 1996. Exchanges. Cattle sale. Okay. Go to the 28th. Deadly attack. Ends in murder. There is Robert Porter. Drowned. His name is Robert Porter. [Music] Something like district. Robert Bar, here he is. I certainly remember him. It's the biggest thing that's happened in this place. What case? If I recall correctly, he was very intelligent, a genius. He was strong as a horse. He worked as a bouncer. He lived about 20 miles away with his wife and daughter Sara. His wife's name was Sara. That's right. A shame what happened. Do you have some time? Sure. [Music] [Music] It has been empty. No one comes here anymore after what happened. No one would live near a place like that anyway. [Music] I had some detectives from Albuquerque here trying to solve this. According to the official story, Porter was working when this subject Daril Walter arrived at the house. He was an ex-convict looking for trouble, you understand? It started as a robbery. The wife and daughter were in the back. From what we gathered with the coroner and everything, this Walter forced the two women into the house. He raped the wife and killed them both. Porter must have arrived at the house and still found Walter here. [Music] God broke the man's neck as if he were a [Applause] [Music] [Music] [Music] Ah. [Music] God, I can't say I wouldn't do the same. Ah. [Music] [Music] Ha. [Music] [Music] Ah. [Music] The the river is over there. [Music] We found [Music] [Music] the clothes there. He probably jumped. This river is very treacherous. Even in July, the current is very strong. Of course, maybe I could be wrong. They officially declared him drowned when the body was not found. Doc, if that kid over in New York is really Robert Porter, I'd rather not know. You understand? [Music] [Music] [Music] [Music] [Music] [Music] Mark, I'm sorry. Are you leaving again? No. What happened? I found what I was looking for. Are you sure? Yes. I wouldn't want to. And I think [Music] [Music] if you don't mind, put mine up. If you don't mind, don't hold your breath. [Music] Put mine up if you don't mind. The language of friendship is words. Rad, take a seat. You packed. Ready to go. Quite like a ray of light. It's a joke, Mark. Humans have no sense of humor. I doubt Freud would approve of this, but when someone leaves, we usually bid them farewell with a small toast. Whiskey, is that okay? Or do you prefer something sweeter? I'll try the whiskey. Very well. Here's yours. Have a good trip. The truth is that CapX seems like a beautiful place. I want to see it sometime. Do you think there's a chance? I think you should see more of your world. In fact, I think you should see more of your own family. Invite your son for Christmas. I can do that. Prot, do you know what I learned from your planet? That there is enough life on Earth to fill 50 planets. Plants, animals, people, fungi, viruses, everything. Jumping to find their place, bouncing together, feeding together, connected. Don't you have that kind of connection on Capax? No one accepts, no one needs. On Capax when I leave, no one misses me. There's no reason for it. And now I feel that when I leave, they will miss me. Yes, a strange feeling. You don't have to leave, Prot. I'm sure there's a way I can help you stay as one of us. I'll miss you, Dr. Powell. Guadalupe College. Ah. I must finish my report, but it seems I've lost my pencil. Guadalupe College. Take mine. [Music] This tool is much more efficient. [Music] Goodbye, friend. [Music] Rot, I want to show you something. [Music] It's Robert Porter. Rad, it's you. You and Robert Porter are the same person. That's quite absurd because I'm not human. Can't you at least admit the possibility? I would admit the possibility that I am Robert Porter if you would admit the possibility that I come from Capax. Now, if you'll excuse me, I must catch a ray of light. Ah, Mark, now that you've found Robert, take care of him, please. Because you are a good friend. You are a good friend. [Music] I can't stand it. I can't stand this. I demand to know which of us will go with you. I can tell you this. There are bonus points for whoever goes to sleep first. Out of my way. Get out of the way. Good night. Oh, my God. Do you want one? You never gave me my last assignment. What is my last assignment? I do want [Music] to stay here and be prepared for everything. Let's see, he looks tired, doctor. Why don't you go rest a bit? He's not going anywhere. Okay, we have 7 hours. I'll see you at 4. Rest. Are you going to eat? You need to eat and sleep. Chinese food from that place on Broadway with the horrible lanterns in the window. The same waiter who always served us. Their fortune cookies have never been lucky. I don't need them. I know my luck tonight. He's sitting in front of me. I hope he still is. Hello, Ron. How are you, friend? Hey, come on over. Okay. Yes. [Music] [Music] [Music] Damn it. [Music] 2 minutes. Where is Doctor Power? I'll call him. [Music] One minute. [Music] Here comes Doctor Power. [Music] He's moving. I repeat, he's moving. What is that? Wait for me. [Music] Ah. Ah. Ah. [Music] [Music] Damn bastard. [Music] Oh, God. [Music] Oh, heavens. Oh, God. Code blue. Help me, help me. [Music] Who is that? He shouldn't be here. That's not definitely not. Certainly not. R is gone. [Music] Where is Bes? Oh, heavens. Oh, no. Ves, ves? Ves. Yes. He chose BZ. Bitch. Goodbye. V. [Music] Good for you, girl. [Music] I have no place. [Music] See? It was here, Pax. [Music] I have no home. See? Patient 287, Robert Porter. How I wish I could say that Robert sat down one day and said, "I'm hungry, there's fruit." Like most catatonics, he may hear every word we say, but refuses or is unable to respond. Despite everything, I still take him to his appointment. I told you about Hawi. He has a job at the public library. And Erni is determined to be a crisis counselor. The only one we worry about is, Ves. We checked public homes, shelters, churches, stations, nothing. Ah, I don't understand. It's just that people don't disappear. July 27th. You wouldn't know anything about that, would you, [Music] Robert? [Music] No, well, maybe you'll come back. When you do, I'll be waiting. [Music] [Music] Come back soon, don't touch. I'll tell you something, Mark, something you don't know, but we Capaxians have been here long enough to be discovered. The universe will expand and then collapse on itself and expand again. This process will repeat forever. What you don't know is that when the universe expands again, everything will be as it is now. Any mistake you make this time here, you will live in your next past. Every mistake you make, you will relive again and again forever. So my advice to you is to do the right thing here, because this time is the only one you have. [Music] Great, Michel, do you believe it? Thank you. How are you? Fine. How was your trip? Fine. Fine. Very good. Magnificent. Yes. You don't know how glad I am that you could come. [Music] Maybe this is forever [Music] fades away like a rock sending in the space. Could you not be said? Could you not break down after all? Won let go till your sa and [Music] to your [Music] beauty in there. Please [Music] and me. [Music] I don't I know you really try. Only you could hang on through the [Music] I don't want to be lonely. [Music] I don't w be scared all friends waiting until you're safe and [Music] until you're safe and sound [Music] beuty and release there no one left to please. But you and He. [Music] [Applause] [Music] [Music] [Applause] [Music] [Applause] [Music] Ja, [Music] [Applause] [Music] glory. [Music] [Applause] [Music] [Music]
