All language subtitles for CAP 5+6; Eye of the Beholder ⁄ A Matter of Fax

We have discovered a
deeper stage of sleep...

it allows us to travel into your dreams...

as you descend focus on my voice.

We will be with you in your dreams.

Can I top that off for you?

Isn't she, something?

Wait!

What's going on?

- Sorry I'm late.
- Hi, honey.

I'll deal with you later.

Let me out.

Don't worry.

This won't hurt a bit.

Count backwards from ninety-nine.

Ninety-nine,

eighty-one, sixty-two...

- Stop!
- Fifty-seven, forty-two...

Why?

Don't worry.
You won't be needing this one.

Honey?

Tavi? Tavi? It's okay.
It's okay.

It's all right.

No! No, no!

Don't you touch me!

Didn't we used to come here
before the accident?

Do you remember the night
of the party and the accident?

- Gail?
- Something...

I'm afraid
something bad's gonna happen.

I know it doesn't make sense.

- I don't want to lose you.
- What are you talking about?

- What else could happen to us?
- Nathan, you don't understand.

I've seen that girl before
in another...

in a dream.

You mean a dream
before the accident?

She's holding a balloon,
and she lets it go.

You run across the street
to catch it...

and you fall.

And you keep falling,
and you're lost.

He hates being married
to a sick woman. So he's...

he's trying to kill me.

Mrs. Maxwell, you were diagnosed
with lupus 15 years ago.

Oh, right. Blame the lupus.

Any region of the brain
can be involved in systemic lupus.

Manifestations can include mild
mental dysfunctions, seizures...

Mrs. Maxwell...

- Headaches and psychosis.
- I don't think that...

Did the lupus cause these?

I wake up with them.

See?
There's nothing on my left side.

Alex sleeps on my right.

I think... I think
he's hitting me during the night.

I can kill that damn son of a bitch.

Mrs. Maxwell,
I know that you're upset.

I should have known that you'd be
just like the rest of them.

You just want
to pawn this off on my disease.

- Actually, we'd like to help you.
- Then help me!

My husband wants to kill me,
and no one believes me.

I believe that dreams are answers
to questions we're afraid to ask,

and those answers are often more
symbolic than literal.

Your dreams are trying to tell
you something important,

and we have to figure out
what it is they're saying.

Why don't you tell me
about your dreams?

Everything you can.

You wouldn't know it to look at her
now, but she's an amazing person.

- Was.
- I'm sure.

I met her after her first kidney
transplant. She's had two, you know.

I don't think the lupus
is what's causing the problems.

I am concerned about the immuno-
suppressive medication she's on.

Prednisone causes feelings
of persecution and paranoia.

No. I've spoken to her doctors
about that.

If you could just convince her
that the dreams aren't real.

Mr. Maxwell, our job here is

to give credence to dreams and their
symbols, it's not to discredit them.

I understand that.

But if I was dreaming
that I was flying

and I woke up and decided to jump
off a fifty story building,

would you say that
I was in my right mind?

And then he...

He... takes a scalpel and...

he cuts me.

Well, it seems that we have
two sets of images here

Those having to do
with your surgery,

and those having to do with
the environment you're in.

Now, can you tell me a little more
about the bar?

Tell me what it means to you.

It... it means nothing.

I would never go
to a place like that.

Full of poor white trash,
and drunks, whores.

It has to be where he goes...

to meet his slut.

Listen to her.
That's not the woman I married.

She never used to act like that.
She never used to talk like that.

I found three empty whiskey bottles
in the trash last week.

- It's like she's another person.
- But she is not.

- Her accusations about you?
- Unfounded. They're delusions.

I love my wife.

But?

My wife was everything to me.
My life.

And now she's gone.

I can't help but feel angry.

- That's only natural. - And as much
as I love her, I sometimes wish...

But that doesn't mean
I'm trying to kill her.

I just wish there was some way
I could bring her back.

Is that so much to ask?

Nathan.

Tavi's medical history shows
that her heart arrested

on the operating
table during her last transplant.

- She was dead for almost three
minutes. - That's not good.

That was over a year ago.
The tests that we ran were fine.

Well, she's putting out
massive amounts of epinephrine.

- They're within acceptable levels.
- Still we need to be cautious.

Have you ever known me
to be anything but?

Her medical records indicate a
steady rise in epinephrine levels.

It's most likely just a stress
response to her nightmares.

So the sooner we get those figured
out, the better, right?

The meds she's taking for the kidney
transplant are causing the dreams?

Well, I'm not sure.

But people who experience near death
or coma are considered oracles.

They can have premonitory dreams,
see into the future.

Someone has one foot in the land
of the living and one foot in...

In the land of the dead.

So we can't totally discount
the possibility that maybe Alex

actually does want to kill her.
- No.

If he wanted to kill her
why would he bring her here?

We're set.

You have any questions?

It's okay.
I know how scary it is.

I was a patient here once myself,
and these guys saved my life.

Okay?

And I want you to concentrate
on the beginning of the dream.

This isn't the beginning.

The injection must have cued her
into the middle of the dream.

No, wait. We have to work
within the dream.

And whatever symbols are here,
are here for a reason.

Yeah, well, I'm a little sick
of being in here and being a...

Look at this. Minnewauk.

Haven't seen that since
I was stationed in Fort Pope.

- Have you ever been
in North Carolina? - Never.

Look at you. You're a mess.

Your business is going down the
tubes, and all you can do is drink.

I'm not alone here, babe.
I ain't gonna lose my job.

I got the gig
in the parking structure.

You're two months behind.
They're gonna fire your ass.

Before you're drunk,
everybody hates you.

You insult your father.

Every song is number thirty-seven.

What about the number thirty-seven?

Did something significant happen to
you when you were thirty-seven?

- No.
- There must have been something.

Oh... It's horrible.

No! No!

Hey!

What the hell is this?

Sorry I'm late.

Help me!
Don't let him near me!

- Hey! Where do you think you're
going? - Step to one side.

Her heart rate's increasing.

Normal anxiety response.
We've seen it before.

- We haven't seen this before.
- A second signal?

- What's the source?
- I don't know.

Maybe it's a superimposition
of frequencies from Kate or Ben?

No. Mrs. Maxwell is the source.

Kate, we're getting a very strange
signal in here. How are you doing?

Try raising the gain on the MEG,

see if it's not just a wrap around
artifact. - Nada.

He's gonna come back and kill me.
Please, you gotta get me out!

We're not gonna let anyone hurt you.
Everything is gonna be fine.

No! Something bad's gonna
happen. I can feel it!

You know, guys, we gotta do
something. Her BP is skyrocketing.

What if we try to jam it?

Create a harmonic or an out-of-phase
frequency that'll cancel it out?

Kate, Ben, you gotta calm
Mrs. Maxwell down.

We're gonna try something.

Calm down, Tavi.
Just try to breathe slowly.

Keep the resistance down, okay?
Everything is gonna be just fine.

- No, it isn't!
- Screw Maggie!

Do it.

- What happened? - You know
that ghost signal we found?

Nathan decided to play Mr. Science
and he tried to jam it.

- And we got dumped?
- Dumped.

I don't understand.
Why is this happening?

Why?

What else do you remember?

There was a pool table,
and a juke box, and...

The number thirty-seven.

- And the beer of yours.
- Beer?

Yeah, there was an advertisement
for Minnewauk beer.

It's a local microbrew
out of North Carolina.

And I don't think but a handful
of people know about it.

So, there is definitely a second MEG

tracing originating
from Mrs. Maxwell.

Algorhythmic analysis shows it is
not a harmonic of her native signal.

So there was no problem
with the equipment then?

Her medication?

No. That would be a permutation
of her original wave form.

There wouldn't be
a second unique MEG tracing.

What are you talking about?

Now,
what if it's a hyperadrenal state?

With the increased heart rate,
and the sweating...

The nervousness... Paranoia.

You're saying there's something
wrong with my adrenal glands?

That's what's causing this
these feelings, this nightmare?

No, not yours.

The surgeons might have left
some of the donor's adrenal tissue

on the kidney that you received.

She'd just need the smallest
amount of active tissue to...

There have been case reports
of organ recipients

who developed the behaviours
and habits of the donor.

What are you saying?

You might be having
the dreams of the donor.

Alex.

Kate?

Excuse me.

From what you described of her dream
the elements that are in colour

are probably icons
from Tavi's world.

- And the ones not so clear...
- Are from the donor's dream.

- Right. - So that's
what we really need to focus on.

- Okay?
- Okay.

- You feel okay?
- Yeah.

Tavi, is this your house?

This is our San Francisco home.

The time.

Thirty-seven.

Seems normal.

Wait.

It's here.

Kate, Nathan,
the ghost signal is back.

There's something wrong.
Oh, my God!

I'm scared.
I don't want to do this, please.

We have to get to the source of your
dream to be able to help you.

Talk to me.

The second signal's
getting stronger.

No. No.

Just breathe. Just breathe.
Take a deep breath.

- Help me.
- They want to pull us.

Vitals.

BP's one forty-three
over eighty-seven,

pulse one thirty-eight.

We should pull them, now.

- Help me. Help me!
- Just take it easy.

- Calm down.
- Heart rate one forty-nine,

- BP one eighty-seven over
ninety-five. - That's good.

- The ghost signal is getting
stronger. - Damn it!

We haven't got enough clues. Tell
them to lock onto the ghost signal.

- Are you sure?
- Tell them!

He's gone completely Fruit Loops.

I thought
I was the loose cannon around here.

- Yeah, he must know
what he's doing. - You are naive.

Hold onto your hats, people.

- You all right?
- Yeah, I think so.

Tell them we're completely in the
donor's dream. Where's Tavi?

I don't know.
Maybe she's in the bar.

Wait.

It's the guy from the bar.

Let's go.

- Give me the keys. - I'm not gonna
let you kill us both!

- I can drive.
- Oh, yeah, right!

Do you think
we should go back to the bar?

Yeah.

Wait a second.

Give it back!

God!

It's Tavi.

Tavi.

Tell them to get us out of here!

Get the mask.

Get the 0-2! Give me the mask.

- Breathe. Breathe.
- Easy.

Deep, deep. Breathe deeply.
There you go.

Deep and easy. No, she's seizing.
Get her on her side.

All right, just hang on.
Breathe, breathe.

Put the mask on her.

Hang onto her. Keep her down.
Keep her down.

- How's she doing?
- She's stable.

Dr. Bradford?

This is Dr. Benash,
Mrs. Maxwell's personal physician.

The CT found no signs of residual
adrenal tissue on the donor kidney.

But her epinephrine levels
are sky high.

- So we looked for a tumor
on her adrenals. - Nothing?

Exactly. The meds to control her
epinephrine levels aren't working.

With her labile BP and tachycardia,
she'll be dead within three days.

Thank you.

- Guys, did we cause this?
- No. We were trying to prevent it.

- Why did you stay in the dream so
long? - I made a judgement call.

We needed more information. If we
stayed in there a little longer...

With our information we've got to
find out what happened to the donor.

Right.

- What did he say? "Give it back?"
- Two words guys, black market.

You think someone stole the kidney?
That the donor's still alive?

The organ procurement center didn't
give any information about the case.

I scanned the Internet databases,
I checked hospital records,

I even had a friend try to hack his
way into the system. No dice.

Where are you going with this?

Tavi is a rare HLA-type. She waited
a long time for that organ.

Maybe "give it back" don't refers to
the organ, but to the donor's life.

And maybe that's why she thinks
someone's trying to kill her.

Whatever it is we're gonna be closer
to the answer when we find that bar.

- Let's at least tally up the clues.
- Okay, the clues.

- The music that he was playing.
- Yeah. Scottish Temple Rite Stomp.

- Don't forget the beer.
- Is there a place in North Carolina

- with a large Scottish population?
- My grandmother used to take me

to the Highland Games up at
Grandfather Mountain near Linville.

I bet you look great in a kilt.

Okay. So we scout out the towns
near Linville,

we find one with a Bodecker High
School, and look for a bar

that's next to a parking
structure that's under construction.

Well, if it's that easy, okay.

Whoever suggested this
should be shot.

Oh, come on, Steve, man,
I thought you was game.

That was before we decided

to hit every rat hole in Buttcrack,
North Carolina.

The next rat hole, I believe,
is three blocks...

that way.

- This was organ legging, man.
That's what I'm saying. - What?

Guy walks into a bar, right?
Beautiful woman...

walks up to him,
offers to buy him a drink.

Back home a little Johnny Mathis,
I'm getting a little woozy,

and then, bam!

Next thing you know,
he wakes up in a tub full of ice,

an IV in his arm,
and a kidney missing.

Oh, no, man. I don't buy that.

That's just an urban myth.

That's like
alligators in the sewer system.

- Like the gerbil story.
- Gerbil story?

Never mind. But 1 et's talk about
you. Why are you doing all this?

- What do you mean?
- I mean, this work is for nuts.

Look at us. Nathan has got a wife
he can only talk to in his dreams.

Kate,
her childhood was so traumatic,

that she can't even have memories
before the age of ten.

Vince is such a genius that he can't
even function in the real world.

And me, I...

- What? - I used to think
I was doing this for kicks.

I don't know anymore. You... you

you're kinda normal.
Your wifey, kiddie...

What the hell are you going through
these wild goose chases for?

Because it's the right thing to do.

You're a better man than I,
Gunga Din.

Okay, I gotta go shake hands
with the Mayor, all right?

- That Milwau -Milwau.
- Minnewauk.

Minnewauk beer is going through
me like water through a sieve.

Don't follow. I'm fine.

Didn't we have much too much fun
in that park?

Come here.

What?

I just have a feeling something bad
is gonna happen.

I know it doesn't make sense.

I just wish this was real.

That we were together forever.

That we had a life.

This is real.

At least,
at this moment here and now,

this is very real.

Nathan?

Sorry.

You weren't answering your phone,
and you're needed at the hospital.

Okay.

- Are you all right? - Yeah.
I guess I just kind of dozed off.

He's alive, isn't he? The donor.

Tavi, we don't know that yet.
We're gonna find out.

The feelings are getting stronger.
I know he's looking for me.

- That's why he's in my head.
- Oh, honey, no.

No. We talked about that.
They're not real.

Alex, you don't understand.
He wants his kidney back.

- Dr. Bradford?
- Yeah?

The beta blockers and the
sympatholytics aren't working.

Her heart
can't take much more of this.

I don't think
there's anything else we can do.

- I'm gonna lose her, aren't I?
- Well... - No.

You did what?

Man, this place looks familiar.

Yeah, that's what you said
the last five bars we were in.

- No, no, I mean it this time.
- You sure?

Damn it, it all looks alike,
but the music, it sounds familiar.

- It's a local band.
- Hey, can I help you two guys?

- Yeah. Set us up with... two beers.
- Drafts, please.

- What do you want, buddy?
- Could you make that two waters?

Two waters, coming up.

Listen, maybe
you can give us some information.

We're investigating a case.

- You two police?
- Yes... we are.

- Rookie, training.
- Cool.

Could you tell us anything about
a regular patron that was killed.

Or fell out of a parking structure
about a year ago?

Was wearing a green ball cap,
plaid shirt.

Mister, you just described half
the population of North Carolina.

I'm sorry, I've only been working
here six months.

But the regular guy, he's coming in
in a couple of hours. He'd know.

- Yeah, great. Thanks. - Listen,
why don't you have him call us.

We'll be staying at this hotel.

- Sure thing.
- Thanks. All right.

So... what do we got left?

Eight more bars.

Listen, why don't we split up?
You take four, I'll take four.

They're all walking range, I'll meet
you at the car in a couple of hours.

You got it.

Ten bars and jack.

What the... the... what...
Oh, my God!

You won't be needing this anymore.

- I'll be seeing you.
- No! No, wait!

Wait! No!

Ben? Ben, you all right?

You all right, buddy?

Don't ever talk to me
about organ legging again!

What happened, buddy?

What happened?

I got rolled, man.

- Just got rolled.
- Let's go. Come on, let's go.

Now what?

We call the organ procurement agency
again,

and see if there's any way
to track that donor.

But you know their policy on client
confidentiality. There's no way.

If that doesn't work, then we comb
through every record of every death

or accident that occurred
in North Carolina until we...

- She'll be dead before we're
through. - Well, she's not dead yet.

- Kate?
- That man...

That' s the guy!

Who's there?

Oh, please, don't...

Hey! What are you doing here?
Talk to me!

- He came to kill me!
- Are you all right?

Kill you?
I wasn't trying to kill her!

She's in my dreams!

I just want to know what
she's doing in my dreams.

- What kind of dreams?
- Horrible, awful dreams.

For the last two months,
I've felt like another person.

I keep thinking that my boyfriend
is going to kill me,

and then I found myself travelling
to some bar in North Carolina.

I'm from Portland, for God's sake.
And I hate beer.

What happened to you?

- I'm a transplant patient.
- Kidney?

Liver.

When?

October thirteenth,
nineteen ninety-six.

- That's when I received my kidney.
- I don't understand.

Can somebody tell me
what's going on here?

They share the same dream,
and the same transplant date,

so they probably had the same donor.

We believe,
if we can synchronize their dreams,

we might be able to get more
information about that donor.

But what does that have to do
with Tavi's physical problems?

Maybe knowing something about
the donor, how he died,

will give us some insight into
what's happening with your wife.

She doesn't have a lot of time left.
I hope you know what you're doing.

I don't understand how someone
so little could get the drop on me.

People with high epinephrine
levels can exhibit great strength.

You know, like the woman who picks
up the car to save the child.

Don't worry, Ben,
your masculinity's safe with me.

Sorry.

This does not look promising.

First, I don 't know if I can keep
them both in hyper-REM.

Look at their epinephrine levels.
Sky high.

Next, we gotta worry about
seizures, and I swear to you,

I will pull you and Kate the second
Tavi's MEG becomes unstable.

And I don't even know
if that's enough.

I'm starting to sound like I'm
talking like you and that scares me.

Seriously, given
what happened to Tavi last time,

You should just play it safe
when you and Kate go in this time.

It's not gonna be Kate. It's gonna
be you goes in with me next time.

- Last week you said I wasn't ready.
- That was then. This is now.

Besides, I'm just sick
of your back seat driving.

- Getting a little grouchy in your
old age? - Can you handle it?

- I can handle it.
- Okay, let's go.

- You're two months behind. They're
gonna fire your ass. - Oh, yeah?

- It's different. - Yeah.
My dream was never this clear.

Combining your signals gives us
clearer image of the donor's dream.

I think Ben and I were here before,
but there was no parking structure.

This is so weird.
I don't remember him in my dream.

Why is the donor bringing us
to this bar?

It may be the last place he was.

You're a pig.

- Cute couple, huh? - Mel,
were those people in your dream?

Yeah. I think so.

- I'll deal with you later.
- See you later.

Mel, you felt someone
was trying to kill you, right?

My boyfriend.

I swore he was out for blood.

And Tavi, you thought your husband
was also try to kill you.

Adversarial feelings between
friends? The donor's relationship?

I think we found the donor.

She's gotta be nearby.

- Do we have to go on with this?
- Yeah. This is where it gets bad.

Where is this parking structure?

I hate this feeling. Can we get
out of here? Can you wake us up?

- Tavi, it's okay.
- They're tachycardic.

Did you hear that? Vince is worried
their heart rates are erratic.

Do you want to stay or go?

You're the head honcho. You decide.

You gotta try and regulate your
breathing. Just calm down, okay?

- Okay.
- You okay?

- What was the name of that song?
- Scottish Temple Rite Stomp.

My guess is, we're looking for
Thirty-seventh and Temple.

- And I guess we're hoofing it.
- You okay? - Yes. - Let's go.

- You hanging in there?
- Yes.

Stay close to us, okay?

You can really dish it out, can't
you, Mindee? But can you take it?

- Give me the keys.
- So you can kill us both?

- I can drive!
- Yeah, right.

Like you could support us.
Like you could be faithful.

Like you could tell the truth.

Yeah, and you can really dish
it out, can't you?

- But can you take it, huh?
- I hate you!

- Yeah? Well, I hate you!
- I hate you!

Give me the keys! Give it back!

Help me!

- She's in a-fib, Nathan.
I'm pulling her. - Not yet.

Nathan.

Give me your hand.

Nathan! You stupid, drunken idiot.
Get me the hell out of here!

Or what, Min?

- Please!
- Please!

Please!

Beggars can't be choosers, Min.

- Yeah?
- I was holding on.

You could have saved me.

What are you talking about, lady?
Do I know you?

Kurt Langenhahn?

- What's going on? - Your wife,
Mindee, died over a year ago?

Yeah. She was drunk.

Fell and broke her neck.
It was an accident.

Beggars can't be choosers.

Mr. Langenhahn,
like to ask you a few questions.

Mr. Langenhahn?

How you doing?

I'm gonna be all right.

Hospital says their heart rates are
down, epinephrine level normal.

All because of a dream?

We called the other five recipients,

and their nightmares all stopped
when Tavi and Mel's did.

That's seven people who were
effected by her murder.

Yeah, but seven people who would
have died without the transplants.

- Don't even go there.
- Why?

I think it's cool. It's like
the ultimate in recycling.

Kate, you hear this?

- Did you sign your donor card?
- Yes, of course.

All right, enough of this talk.
All I want to know is who's buying?

- I think you are.
- I feel good.

Or as Kate would say,
I feel really great.

I feel like a Tony Robbins...

We are gods.

We are gods.

- Hello. We are gods.
- What?

You're definitely no fun.

Come on, fly boy. Race ya.

- Where are you?
- I don't know, I just...

had this weird feeling.

- Come on, buddy.
- Steve!

- Steve!
- Oh, my God!

Did you get a license plate number?

- Don't move him.
- Don't do this.

Oh, my God.

Oh, God.

All right, let's hear it
for a very special lady,

Kimberly Daniels!

I'm gonna swallow you up.

Oh, baby...

Come on... Oh, yeah.

Can't do it, huh, baby?

Steve.

This time next week, Steve'll
be going over the falls.

His death was not an accident.

There are no accidents.

- Call it an act of God
if you want to. - I don't want to.

Gail dreamt about that little girl
with the balloon,

and you saw the same girl
just before Steve was hit.

Steve was part of us. If there was
some kind of premonitory dream...

It wasn't a premonition
that was driving the car.

It was a guy with a point
two blood alcohol level.

What happened to Steve
was supposed to happen.

She...
Kimberly resisted, of course.

But I twisted the bag tighter

and the plastic
went inside her mouth.

You've been having the same dream
for the past couple of months.

At first it was spor... it didn't
happen every night. But then...

How often have you and Kate
talked about the dream?

I've been here several times
to repair your fax machine.

Your Digicomp-six hundred,
it's prone to disk-drive malfunction

and tolerance variation
in the ascii postscript.

And when you wake up from the dream,
where are you?

In bed.

My bed. I'm not a somnam.

I'm a murderer, Dr. Bradford.
I killed Kimberly Daniels.

You dreamt you killed her.

I'm afraid she's really dead.

Have you told the police?

I can't.

I don't know anyone named
Kimberly Daniels. I never have.

Alan, it's important that
when we travel into the dream we...

Kate.

You think I'm...

Killing someone is not
the kind of thing I'd make up.

Here. I use these in the dream.

I have the same bags at home.

But I haven't bought bags
like these in years.

I only use biodegradable.

I don't know how they got here.
And I...

I found this in my trash can.

Kimberly was wearing it when I...

Where did the incident take place?

At the club where she dances.

Can you take us there?

I've only been there in the dreams.

For many of us dreams are a safe
outlet. A way to act out feelings

that in the waking world
would stay repressed.

I wish I could believe that.

I never meant to be
this much trouble.

Alan, I wouldn't be here
unless I wanted to be.

- You trust me, don't you?
- Of course.

There aren't many people I...
Yes, of course I trust you.

Then trust that we'll find out
why you're having these dreams.

I'm afraid to sleep.
Can you imagine what that...

Murdering someone...

I hate thinking I'm capable of it.
My dreams prove I am.

I'm sure
Kimberly was a very nice person.

No, thanks, Ann. I appreciate it.

Fusco says there are no uncleared
homicides of the kind Alan described.

Not a picture on the wall, nothing.

The guy's lived there
for at least two years.

That's how long those fax machine
magazines have been mailed there.

- I want to go into his dream,
Nathan. - No, no.

Kimberly is a fantasy figure. She's
hatched out of Alan's his loneliness

It's wish fulfilment in a red shoe.

For us to accept a patient, his
dreams have to have real significant

waking world consequences.
You helped establish the criteria.

And you can change them.
Your name's on the letterhead.

I'm not gonna change them just to
accommodate your clouded judgement.

My judgement is not clouded.
I resent that.

Alan's case is unique, and there's
an aspect of telepathic dreaming

that we've never researched before.
- He's desperate for attention.

I get that. He's tormented.
I get that.

But taking this guy on as a patient,
it has nothing to do with

collecting research on telepathic
dreaming. Why do you need to do it?

Because he needs our help.

Yeah, Tom.

I need to talk to someone.

- Line three.
- I'm in trouble.

This is Nathan Bradford.

This is Kimberly Daniels.

I'm with my associate, Kate Russell.

I've had these nightmares.
A man's been after me.

- He's trying to kill me.
- Do you know him?

- I've never seen him, except in my
dreams. - Who gave you our number?

I woke up, I couldn't breathe.

- It was like he was there.
- Can you come to the institute?

I shouldn't have called.
He could be listening.

Oh God! I shouldn't have called!
He could be listening this minute!

So much for wish fulfilment
in a red shoe.

She's got call back blocked.

Okay, let's get Alan
in here right now.

Detective Fusco, please.

Oh, God.

What's this?

You won't be alone, Alan. I promise.

I've seen you with your...
with other patients here.

How you talk to them,
the way you care about them.

- You're a very... - Kate,
we're just about set in there.

- You remember Detective Fusco.
- Yes.

- You can watch from the control
room. - Make yourself comfortable.

Sure. Thank you.

Perfect strangers
dreaming the same dream.

That should make for a good article
in one of your scientific journals.

Yeah. I'm thinking of pitching
it as a movie-of-the-week.

The ParaRemazine will speed
your descent into hyper-REM.

You said the dream starts
at the strip club.

So let's use that
as a point of departure.

You mean I can direct
the course of the dream?

You can try.

Vitals are stable, ditto on the MEG.

- Moving toward synchronization.
- "Ethics of the Fathers"?

Yeah. It's a sort of a road map

towards personal growth and morality
as defined by the Torah.

Steve turned me on to it.

- Steve wasn't Jewish.
- No.

But he liked road maps.

We have convergence.

Hey, sugar, over here!

Is that Kimberly?

I'm gonna swallow you up.

Hey, get off of her!

You all right? Your BP
peaked at one eighty systolic,

your oh-two sat fell to seventy-five
per cent, becoming cyanotic.

Kimberly had her hands around
my throat, and then Alan was...

I couldn't let her take
the air from you. I couldn't let...

Kimberly was alive.
She was alive, until...

I killed her just now.

Listen, Alan, if Kimberly's dead,
it didn't happen just now.

You've been here in the lab
this whole time.

Okay, obviously suffocation
is thematic in the dream.

Were you ever locked in a closet
when you were a kid?

Or did you fall in a hole,
and then have dirt cover you?

No, no, nothing like that.

- Would your parents know if...
- My mother died when I was six.

I never knew my father.

- What was the cause of your
mother's death? - Emphysema.

So the physical cause
of his mother's death

was the psychological
enemy in Alan's dreams.

Now, he's angry at his mother
for abandoning him,

and maybe he felt threatened
by the disease,

so he killed it
before it could kill him.

Yeah, but he got to play the
hero and protect you from her.

So, Fusco's having Alan watched.

At least until
they can find Kimberly.

Thanks.

- Steve?
- Yeah.

I just keep thinking he's gonna walk
through the door any minute.

Yeah, I know.

The car that hit him could just as
easily have killed you or me.

You know, there's a simple
reason it didn't.

He just he stepped off the curb
two seconds before we did.

You know, it wasn't kismet.

It wasn't girls with balloons,

or the alignment of interplanetary
forces. It was just...

it was dumb luck.

And you don't believe a word of it.

No more than you do.

Is there a number
that I can reach you at?

Thank you very much.
I appreciate it.

Top of the morning. Which it isn't
for Alan White, who is currently

being questioned in regards to the
apparent murder of Kimberly Daniels.

I... you were having Alan watched.

I assigned a detective.
By noon, he'll be a sergeant.

This could open up a whole new arena
of criminology: Felonious dreaming.

Quite a job was done on this place.

Saliva and a lot of blonde hair.

So, when did this...

Some time between four yesterday
afternoon and nine this morning.

Well, Alan was at the institute
till probably four-thirty.

I know. The plumber was here
yesterday fixing the sink.

Kimberly left him the key.

He left at four, he needed a part.
When he came back this morning...

You saw him kill her
here in the dream.

So what I'm wondering is,
where's the body?

Fusco ran a background check
on Kimberly Daniels,

and it doesn't give us much.

She was born in Dayton, Ohio and
there are twelve other addresses.

Alan and Kimberly, who don't even
know each other in the waking world,

are killer and victim in a dream?

We've already had a case that proved
the telepathic ability of a dreamer.

That wasn't the same. You're talking
about the succubus, right?

That wasn't the same, because
the dreamer knew her victims.

In Alan's case the location,
the dreamscapes themselves,

are more important than
the relationships of the dreamers.

Which takes us to the strip club.

What were the images that you saw?

Circles hanging in the air
round with a hole in the middle.

Circular shapes normally represent
wholeness, or self-containment.

But the fact that there were more
than one, and they were unconnected

plays against the idea that Alan
is a self-contained personality.

So, you think that
Alan identifies with Kimberly?

As well as fears her.

I think he offed her
in the waking world.

And I think that the dream
is... I don't know... his guilt.

No, we're not talking about Alan
right now. Let's just stay on track.

We're talking about Kimberly
and the dreamscapes.

This could force us to re-think our
entire approach to visiting dreams.

We always let it happen the first
time we visit the host dream.

Let it play out
as the dreamer experienced it.

Do nothing to alter the landscape.

If Kimberly really died
in the dream, we let it happen.

We didn't do anything to save her.
Nathan, we are culpable.

I am not responsible for a death
until I know it's occurred.

Hello. Yeah, this is she.

I don't know how you people
eat that stuff.

- What do you mean, "you people"?
- I don't mean "you people".

What "you people" do you mean?

Okay, I'll be right there.

You know, there was something else
I saw weird at the club.

There was a couple of tables with
guys with flight uniforms on.

I turned away, and when
I turned back, they were gone.

Was Alan ever in the Air Force?

Aviators, flying, freedom, escape.

There's a strip bar called
The Landing Strip.

Seventeen Pine Street, southwest
corner. Amateur night on Wednesdays.

I'm told.

I didn't want to be released.
I don't deserve to be.

No wonder there's no confidence
in the judicial system.

You were there.
You saw me do it.

But thank you for wanting to believe
I'm innocent.

- Can I help you, honey? - Yeah.
We're looking for Kimberly Daniels.

I haven't seen her
for a couple of days.

Now there's an act
that really packs them in.

She's one very special lady.

Alan, what did your mother
do for a living?

She was a...

No, she did not work
in a place like this!

She worked for a doctor!

When I was six,
she bought me this cowboy outfit,

boots and everything.

People used to say "there goes
Dayton and her little cowpoke."

Dayton?

That's where Kimberly...
behind that curtain.

Kimberly Daniels.

How did she get our business card?

That's what we'd like to know.

She got the card from him.
It is proof that he does know her.

He absolutely believes he doesn't.

I absolutely believe he does
and I've got the evidence.

Check the Department of Records,
Dayton, Ohio, early seventies.

For what?

A death certificate for Alan's
mother. Her name was Dayton.

- Kimberly was born in Dayton.
- Aren't you reaching for...

Kimberly represents
some aspect of his mother.

He denies she was a stripper.
I think she probably was.

Kimberly also reminds him
of his mother's death.

Obviously, he doesn't want
to remember that,

so in his conscious mind,
he denies Kimberly's existence.

Dayton, Ohio.
Early seventies.

- We're getting close to some...
- No, you got close to a man

who may be a murderer.
- Alan is not gonna hurt me.

Because he saved you in the dream?

You're worried about us being
culpable for Kimberly's death.

I am sure as hell not gonna
be culpable for yours.

This isn't about Alan,
it's about you

and your need to find answers
to the unanswerable.

To control events
that are beyond you.

Your parents, your brother,
and now Steve.

You couldn't control
what happened to them, so...

You carry your own share
of baggage here.

But you were looking
for somebody to save.

And then Alan appointed you
his saviour. It's intoxicating.

But it's a temporary high,
and the hangover is a bitch.

You're not going back into his dream.

I'm not gonna let you carry
your baggage that far.

I told him to direct the dream
to Kimber1 y's apartment.

Maybe he wanted to take her back to
the place where she was still alive.

Yeah. Or maybe we're not seeing
the dream from his perspective.

He was here before.

Who are you?

- Alan killed her in the last dream.
- He's not gonna do it this time.

I don't know that man any more
than I know Kimberly.

There is a difference, Alan. We know
she exists in the waking world.

Existed.

Alan, the fact that she appeared
in the dream could mean she's alive.

Remember Detective Fusco
still hasn't found the body.

Even if he is only a dream figure,
he was there to save you.

Why would he have to save you
from your mother?

That was Kimberly, not my mother!
Why are you confusing things?

My mother bought me a cowboy outfit.

Alan, listen...

What we are trying to do is link
what we learned in the dreams

to what you might have experienced
in the real world.

That's the only way
any of this can be resolved.

When we walked into the club,

there were some shapes
on the wall above the stage.

The circles?

But for a second,
they became... they looked like...

like automobile tires.

Did you grow up around cars?

Was there maybe an accident
involving a blown tire, or a...

I never cared about cars.
Nothing happened to me in a car.

I'm so sleepy.

But I don't want to dream anymore.

Steve?

Listen to Kate.

You've reached Alan White at
five five five, zero one one eight.

Mr. Martinez?

- Raul Martinez?
- What the hell you want?

- We're friends of Alan White.
- What do you want with him?

- We'd like to help him.
- You leave him alone.

He's sick and he needs our help.

I'll help him! It's my job!

Hey, boss.
Fax from Detective Fusco.

Raul Martinez, born Laredo, Texas,
July fourth, nineteen-seventy.

That's...

that's... Yeah, this is the same
day as Kimberly Daniels. This...

Something happened to Alan
July fourth, nineteen-seventy.

Something happened.

- Raul, get out!
- Yes, all right.

Leave my mother alone!

Leave my mother alone!

They're dead.

That's you, Alan, isn't it?

Get the crash cart!

Start CPR.

Go.

Come on.

Charging two-sixty. Clear.

Two-sixty. Clear.

- Come on, come on.
- Three hundred.

Clear.

His fugue state, his panic...

it wasn't until he flatlined that I
realized what we're dealing with.

There was a war going on inside him.

The war's over now.

Is he gonna make it?

Yeah. We were able to restore
cardiac rhythm and pressure

quickly enough
to prevent brain damage.

Detective Fusco has a man waiting
at reception. Thank you very much.

We're gonna match that to the saliva
we found in Alan's apartment.

You mean Kimberly's apartment?

No, I mean Alan's.

How is Alan's sample gonna
help us find Kimberly?

Kimberly's right there.
Has been all along.

Kimberly never really existed. She
was a part of you. And so was Raul.

They were conflicting personalities.

You flatlined
when they destroyed each other.

When you were six, your mother locked
herself and you into the car

and she turned on the engine.

Someone broke into the car
and saved you,

but nothing could save your mother.

But my mother wasn't in the dream.

What you saw in the dream
was a figurative replay

of what happened
all those years ago.

Not with the real people, but
with your representation of them.

Raul was the strong,
protective father figure.

He might have worked
at your house,

or perhaps he happened by
at the right time.

- He saved me. - Right.
So you kept him in the dream.

And you became him for part
of your time in your waking life.

Those personalities were born
on July fourth, nineteen seventy,

in a moment of trauma from which
you couldn't protect yourself.

How could I not know about them?

Because the trauma was too painful
for you to remember.

You needed to remember.

It was the only way
you could start a new life.

Get some rest now.

And later on we'll talk about
getting you the help you need.

I have trouble with
the one personality I've got.

I don't think I could handle
learning there were two more.

That's why I want him to stay.

When patients find this disorder,
their whole existence unravels.

They have nothing.
They just feel they can't go on.

- How do you guys sleep at night?
- One eye open.

- You okay?
- Yeah.

- I'll take the next shift.
- All right.

Alan.

- Bradford.
- Yeah, it's Kate.

- Where are you?
- I'm in Oakland Hills,

the corner
of Hope and Elgin Street.

Alan left the institute,
and I followed him.

- Alone?
- Yes, Nathan, alone.

Please. Just leave me alone now.

- Alan, don't do this.
- Go.

I don't want you to be hurt.

I know that. Now, please,
just turn off the engine.

Alan, no.

It's my life that's...

this isn't about you.

This is more about me than you know.

Get out of were!
I didn't ask you to follow me!

What do I have to do
to make you leave?

Just leave with me. Okay?

I got nowhere to go.

This is where it happened. This is
where you lived when you were young.

Alan, what your mother did...

She didn't know how to take care of
you. And that wasn't your fault.

Don't be afraid now, baby.

You and me,
we're going to a better place.

It's not a better place!

Breathe deep for Mama.
We're going together.

Just go to sleep.

You didn't deserve to die then,
and you don't deserve to die now!

He has to right to live!
Everyone alive deserves to live!

They closed the door. I don't know
what they're doing in there.

Anything in the garage we
should know about?

A bunch of junk I haven't
gotten around to throwing away.

There is a shotgun.

I thought if you have a child,
you're supposed to love him.

I guess I wasn't good enough.

Alan, please, let's just talk about
this outside.

Police, open up!

Thought we were through for the day.

- Kate!
- No, Nathan!

Get back inside!

We're all right.
We're both all right!

One forty-seven Glenview Road.
We have a hostage situation.

I need SWAT and medical backup.

I have nothing now.

Everybody's dead.

Alan, you have a beginning.
You didn't have that before.

You were tortured by what happened
in the past.

Now you don't have to be
afraid of that anymore, Alan.

I never fired a gun before.

- I just want you to be safe.
- I know that.

- If I just do this...
- No, Alan!

Then you could just walk
out of here.

No. I'm not walking out
of here alone.

Look, I just lost someone
I really cared about,

and now that he's gone, I won't be
able to tell him how much.

Now, I can be there for you, Alan.
I promise.

Now, let's just walk out of here.

- Forget about me.
- I can't forget about you.

I won't be able to any more than I
can forget about Steve,

or my parents, or my brother!

Missing them is a part of my life.
It is a part of me.

That pain doesn't ever go away.

Because
I don't have the power to forget.

I'll have to remember you, Alan.
I have to.

Get down!
Get your hands in the air!

Hands in the air!

Kate... You okay?

And there was this shaman,
and he pointed out to the jetty.

And I thought it was McCaig,

but I don't understand what he was
doing in my dream about Steve.

I mean, he's been dead three years.

What?

I had a dream about Steve, too.

- Was McCaig in it?
- No.

But in the dream Steve said that
I should listen to you.

- About his death?
- I don't know.

I've been thinking about what you
said...

that Alan served my need to answer

the unanswerable and control
what's beyond me, and...

Kate, that doesn't...
it doesn't just apply to you.

We wouldn't be in this
business if we didn't want to affect

the lives of the people
that we come into contact with.

You know...
hopefully for the better.

You do that.

Alan still has the potential
for a full life.

You know, he has a clean slate now.

And he has to create a new
personality...

his own personality.

But you know, whatever he becomes,
it's a result of your intervention.

There I mean, there's a satisfaction
in that, isn't there?

Okay, Alan, time for medicine.

Alan, please.
Will you take your medicine, Kate?

Thank you so much.

I hope lunch will be served at the
regular time today.

Yesterday it was late.
I am a very punctual person.

I find lateness quite distressing.
