[camera whirs]

[beeps]

Hi.

[Jonathan] Work was good.

I left on time.

I think the new woman, Allison, might like me.

I don't know.

She keeps trying to talk to me.

They started me on plans for a new house in Greenwich.

[sighs] Ten thousand square feet.

Can you imagine?

No one needs that much living space.

[woman speaking in French through headphones]

[woman

[woman speaking in French through headphones]

[Jonathan] Let's see what else.

Oh, I ran into Sarah in the lobby

and I helped her with her groceries.

So, in case you see her,

that's why she loves you so much.

I made the rest of the chicken. I hope you aren't sick of it.

It was gonna go bad soon

and we can't keep throwing out food

and stay on budget.

So I'm not really sure what's going on,

but I've been feeling a little tired lately.

Have you?

- [water trickling] - [rasping]

[spits]

[window blind rattles]

[light switch clicks]

[sharp exhale]

[sighs]

[beeps]

[John] Yo, what's up, J?

Uh, thanks for the heads-up about Sarah.

So the new girl, huh? What's she like? Is she pretty?

Work was okay.

Uh, I had to type up this long deposition.

And then I got a slice of pizza with Tom.

He wanted to vent about his...

ex-girlfriend.

Apparently, she cheated on him,

but he had cheated on her all the time.

So, I just listened and didn't comment

about all his contradictions like you told me to.

Biked through the park after, which was fun.

There's like some kind of tree this time of year

that smells really good.

Yeah.

Come to think of it, I have been a little tired.

I don't know what it is.

I've been getting my four hours.

Actually, I was in bed a few minutes early last night.

Yeah, right.

Anyway, I'm playing basketball with the boys from the gym,

and then work.

Seriously, Jonathan?

Would it be so bad if you like this girl back?

[John] You're allowed to be attracted to somebody

and have some fun.

All right, man, peace. Have a good day.

[beeps]

[ominous music]

[device beeping]

Is everything okay?

[Nariman] There was a slight drift.

Just a few seconds,

when you were switching consciousness.

Perez fixed it.

[breathes deeply]

[door opens]

I know you're feeling off-balance.

You're getting older.

[Nariman] You each have busy lives.

It's natural that you're feeling tired.

Don't worry.

[Hans] I just got off the phone with the Huntleys.

They are very happy with the renovations.

[Jonathan] The house does make a lot more sense now.

So, I don't wanna be callous, but, uh,

how are things with your sick relative.

- Uh, about the same. - [Hans] That's a shame.

I was hoping to put you on the West Side Tower project,

but, uh, means working a lot more hours.

Yeah, I'm sorry, I can't.

You are a fine draftsman.

You know, I was happy to hire you

as a favor to Leslie,

even though I knew the time constraints.

But if you want to be an architect,

you're gonna have to figure something out.

[somber music]

[Jonathan] Hans asked me to work on the West Side Tower project.

I obviously can't.

After work, I got some...

chocolate gelato from that place you like.

I picked up some extra for you.

It's in the freezer.

[coffee machine clicks, whirs]

[liquid sloshing]

[beeps]

Hey, J.

Listen, man, I'm sorry.

I know how much you wanted to work on that project.

I understand you're frustrated. I get frustrated, too.

You know, it's like what you and Dr. Nari talk about.

We have our limitations, but...

I guess if things were different,

you know, you'd have a career,

I could hike the Rockies.

[John] But if you think about it,

if you combined what each of us do in our lifetimes,

put them together,

we'll accomplish a lot more than most people.

Right?

[chomping]

Thanks for this by the way. This is really good.

Thanks for this ice cream, Jonathan.

Feel better, man. Don't worry about it.

[beeps]

- [woman - [Jonathan] It's right.

- [woman - [Jonathan] It's left.

[woman It's on the second left.

[Jonathan] It's the ...

[woman It's on the second right.

[sharp exhale]

[woman speaking in French through stereo]

[woman

A bird.

An orange.

Orange.

I did the laundry.

Uh, it was your turn, but it was piling up.

And your gym clothes stink.

Are you using that deodorant I got you?

The guy with the gold chain from the second floor was there.

I didn't talk to him.

[sighs] I also...

I found this in your pocket.

I'm just wondering because...

You didn't mention that you went to a bar.

Is that why we're tired?

Have you been staying up late and going to bars?

[beeps]

[despondent music]

[beeps]

Jonathan, really?

Not everything is a fucking clue, okay?

I told you. Tom's girlfriend broke up with him.

We went to a bar. Yeah, one time.

And I sat and had a soda. I forgot to mention it.

Stop being so paranoid.

[sighs] Anyway, I got eggs, I got milk,

I got bread we like from that place, um...

I forgot to get the McCann's and we're practically out.

So you can get that.

- Have a good one. - [beeps]

[ominous music]

[keyboard clacking]

[upbeat music playing]

[glasses clanking]

[chair rasping]

Hey, John.

She's not in until five today.

Want a beer?

No, thanks. I'm good.

I'll let her know you stopped by.

No.

I mean, that's fine. I wanted to surprise her.

[Myles] Got it.

Oh, John.

Forgetting something?

The game.

Yeah, I'll be there.

No, last night's.

I told you the Giants were gonna win.

Right. Yeah, awesome game.

[door opens]

[sharp exhale]

[glass shatters]

[classical music playing]

[door opens]

[background chatter]

[door opens]

Jonathan. Hey.

- Mr. Crane. - Call me Ross.

Can I get a coffee?

Thank you.

[clears throat] Are you good?

Yes, thanks.

A tea drinker, huh? I missed that in the report.

Oh, I... It's all right.

Relax, man. It's just a little PI humor.

When they told me you were both the client and the mark,

I was like, so what.

I've seen lots weirder, but...

Thank you.

But what are you?

A somnambulist or something?

- Can I see the report? - You're the customer.

But you lead one boring life.

Up at what, 7:00? 7:15?

[Ross] Out the door like clockwork

at 7:30 for a run.

Everybody has a routine.

Yeah, well, you run yours like a German train.

Ah, let's see.

"At 8:30 p.m. on Tuesday, subject, you."

Left your building. Walked three blocks.

Picked up a deli coffee, regular, no sugar.

Got on the train and proceeded to Madison and 56th

where you work part-time as a temp for the law firm

of Crawford, Rubin, and DeNisio.

In addition to working part-time

in the architecture office of Hans Lieber during the day.

Uh, you left work at 1:37 a.m., came straight home.

You didn't leave again until your run at 7:30

"the following morning."

Are there any nights that I did anything different?

Yeah, yeah. "On, uh, on Friday",

you left work a few minutes early,

at, uh, 1:26 a.m.

Instead of heading home like you usually do,

you went to The Rialto bar

where you sat, and had two beers until your girlfriend finished

- "her shift." - Girlfriend?

Well, if she's your sister, I'm calling the cops.

Or maybe a priest.

Yeah, your girlfriend.

Elena Kaminsky.

[Ross] "You stayed until after the bar closed"

while she cleaned up, and then went to her place,

"where, presumably, you and she..."

And how long did I stay at her place?

"You left at 5:50 a.m. and ran home."

I mean, you literally ran.

What was the hurry?

Do you have photos?

[Ross] Do you think she's cheating on you, or...

I still don't get this.

I can keep an eye on her,

but to me, she seems like a good egg.

How much do I owe you?

[ominous music]

[panting]

[keyboard clicks]

[breathing heavily]

[keyboard clicks]

[John] Hey, J.

Work was slow tonight, I mostly just talked to Tom.

I took the subway 'cause it was raining.

I helped a woman carry her stroller down the stairs.

Where she was going with a baby at 2:00 a.m.?

I don't know.

Oh, we were running low on dish soap,

so I picked some up.

You got any plans for the weekend?

[foreboding music]

[rapid footsteps on TV]

[man grunts on TV]

[man groans on TV]

[plate clanks]

[camera beeps]

[Jonathan] I went to the Guggenheim

to see the I. Corbusier exhibit.

You should go. It's open late on Saturdays.

Afterwards, I came straight home.

I finished the game you started, and I doubled your score.

[camera beeps]

[ominous music]

[indistinct chattering]

John?

Hi.

Hi.

[Elena] Never seen you in the daylight before.

Not sure how I feel about this.

Really?

Kidding.

What are you up to?

I was headed to the dry cleaners.

How about you?

I was on my way to yoga, but my aunt just called.

[Elena] She lost her keys again, so...

Are you okay? [Chuckles]

Yeah, I'm just running late.

To the dry cleaners?

[Elena] It's okay.

You don't have to tell me.

I'll see you tonight.

[John] Thanks for the heads-up about Elena, asshole.

You think she wouldn't mention that she ran into you?

You know, this whole routine thing

and telling each other exactly who we run into is your idea.

I like her, yeah, and I had to lie to her.

[beeps]

[clattering]

[water sloshing]

[breathes deeply]

[sighs]

[beeps]

I assume you aren't a total asshole

and know you're the one who's been lying to me.

Why didn't you tell me about her?

[beeps]

It just happened.

We met that night I went to the bar with Tom.

I didn't tell you because I knew you'd disapprove.

[beeps]

Yeah, of course I disapprove.

[Jonathan] Having a girlfriend is against the rules.

[keyboard clacking]

I know, but what am I supposed to do?

I'm not like you, I can't just turn off my emotions.

[beeps]

[Jonathan] You know how serious this is.

You have to do something about her.

You have to break up with her.

I'm not gonna do that.

This girl's different. I really like her.

[sharp exhale]

[beeps]

That isn't the point.

[Jonathan] If you're not gonna break up with her,

then you at least have to tell her about us.

And if you won't, then I will.

[train rumbling]

[beeps]

Don't do that.

I'll tell her tonight.

[beeps]

[foreboding music]

[panting]

[coughs]

[breathing heavily]

[tape whirring]

[whirring continues]

[beeps]

[John] I tried to tell her about us.

I couldn't.

Anyways, it's over.

I hope you're happy now.

[glasses clanking]

[beeps]

[clattering]

[water trickling]

[knocks on door]

[knocking intensifies]

[door opens]

I mean, what the fuck, John?

[Jonathan breathes sharply]

[door closes]

Look, I don't know what John told you,

but knowing him, it wasn't clear.

What do you mean, "Knowing him, it wasn't clear"?

I'm not John, I'm his brother.

You left my house, like, two hours ago

wearing the same clothes.

Can you just leave, please?

He doesn't wanna see you anymore.

[cell phone buzzing]

[Jonathan] It's his phone.

[buzzing stops]

What's going on?

Can you just leave?

[Elena] John.

John and I are brothers, but we share the same body.

Right now, he's asleep.

Inside of me.

[chuckles]

Very funny.

It's extremely rare, but it exists.

We take shifts.

I'm conscious from 7:00 a.m. to 7:00 p.m.

John's conscious from 7:00 p.m. to 7:00 a.m.

You know what, I've heard some really crazy shit in my time,

but this has to be the fucking lamest!

Craziest!

[door slams]

How much did you drink last night?

I was sitting here, sick, from your hangover.

And there was a knock at the door.

Why does she think she has carte blanche to come over here?

How does she even know where we live?

Jesus! Do, do you know how many rules you've broken?

[breathes sharply]

She's gone now. I took care of it.

She won't be coming back here anymore.

Can we get back to normal, please?

[beeps]

[breathes deeply]

[beeping on TV]

[beeps]

[tape whirring]

[whirring continues]

[clicks]

She won't be coming back here anymore.

Can we get back to normal, please?

[ominous music]

[car horn honking]

[Jonathan] It's been four days.

I know.

He's upset.

Why is he upset? He knows the rules.

You're missing your brother.

You can't grab him by the shoulders

and straighten him out.

[Nariman] All you can do is give him time.

I, I don't understand.

Why would he need time away from me?

You're different people, he reacts to things differently.

How are you? How's work?

[sighs]

They want me to work full time.

They like you, that's good.

Uh, it's not good,

because, obviously, I can't work full time.

They recognize your talent.

I warned you, pursuing a career would be difficult.

You're just gonna have to hold the whole firm

to the hours you already keep.

[Nariman] All set.

Most siblings move on and lead separate lives.

In a sense,

distance from him is a, a rite of passage.

Think of it less as this turmoil

and perhaps more as an opportunity.

An opportunity for what?

To explore your life away from his.

[somber music]

[Jonathan] I paid the Con Ed bill.

And the laundry is piling up again.

I guess I can do it.

I saw Dr. Nari.

She said that distance is a rite of passage.

I don't know what she means, we don't have that luxury.

You and I have to communicate.

You can't just leave me in the dark.

[somber music]

[plate clanking]

[sighs]

[Myles] Some guy on Long Island got fried playing golf.

It's Jonathan.

[pop music playing]

[Elena] What's this?

Open it to page 37.

[Elena] "Single body, multi-consciousness".

The author is our doctor.

You want me to read this all right now? I...

I'm working.

Just listen to me for a second.

When we were a baby, we wouldn't stop crying.

And our mother abandoned us at a hospital.

[Jonathan] Can you please...

That's where we grew up.

Strapped to a gurney or heavily sedated

because nobody could figure out what was wrong with us,

until Dr. Nariman came.

She studied us 24/7,

and she realized what looked like chaos

was actually two people in one body.

So she began to treat us.

Therapy, hypnosis. Medication, and finally... this.

I don't know what John told you that was,

but that... that's what keeps us separated.

It's like a timer for the brain.

Why are you telling me this?

Because I haven't... I haven't heard from John in a week.

[Jonathan] I was wondering if you'd make a recording for him.

He won't listen to me.

And, uh...

He cared about you, so maybe he'll listen to you.

Just, um, just ask him to come back.

I'm, um...

I'm looking at someone

who my eyes think I knew and cared about,

who's looking at me like I'm a total stranger.

[cell phone beeps]

Please.

[bed creaks]

[Jonathan breathes heavily]

[beeps]

[tape whirring]

[whirring continues]

[somber music]

[Allison] I was just about to get some lunch.

Have you eaten yet?

No, but I... have to go home.

Right, you have, um...

is it your dad that you take care of?

Uh...

[soft chuckle] [Allison] What's going on? I...

You seem... I don't know, upset about something.

[Jonathan] It's my brother.

He's being an asshole.

Yeah, I know. I have two sisters.

[Allison] You know, Paula who's four.

We're close, but we can also fight like nobody's business.

[beeps]

Where are you?

[sighs]

[Jonathan] You've gotta talk to me.

How long is this going to go on?

I'm your brother.

You can't keep holding a grudge like this.

The supermarket was packed today.

I'm not really sure why, maybe a storm is coming.

I still managed to find some nice vegetables.

I did my usual Saturday.

I went for a run,

and I went to the Met to see the European paintings.

On my way home, I rode the elevator

with the guy with gold chain.

I bought some new running shoes.

They were on sale.

I don't love the color, but the support is amazing.

If you'd like, you can try them out.

I am going to keep leaving you messages

even if I don't hear from you.

I miss you.

And I'm lonely without you.

A woman was on the sidewalk today

with a kid who was screaming.

And she was screaming at him, which did not help.

The two of them just kept getting louder and louder.

I ran into one of your friends from the gym.

I didn't know what to say. So, I just...

You've stopped making my bed

and doing your half of the chores...

I'm thinking about getting a tattoo.

Now I'm doing all the cleaning

and laundry every day.

Remember how awkward it is if we're caught off-guard...

I don't know what today

because I haven't heard from you.

[rasping]

[gloomy music]

[woman speaking in French through stereo]

[speaking French continues]

[breathes heavily]

[doorbell buzzes]

[woman] She is tall. Elle est grande.

Ils est beau. He is handsome.

- Ils est beau. - Hello?

[Elena] It's Elena.

[beeps]

[lock buzzes]

I didn't have your number, or I would have texted.

I wanted to give this back.

That day, when I bumped into John on the street.

It was you.

You were following me.

[Jonathan] No, I wasn't.

It was daytime.

Are you hungry?

How did you and John meet?

He didn't tell you?

No.

[Elena] He came into the bar with a friend.

John started telling a story.

I think to cheer the guy up.

And he became so...

animated,

that he had everyone around him listening and laughing.

Anyway, his friend got real messy drunk.

And the next day, John came in to apologize.

But... I knew he'd be back.

I was following you that day.

We have a rule.

No girlfriends.

How can you have a rule like that?

We share a body.

The only way we can survive is if we have

total responsibility to each other and no one else.

What about sex?

We can do that.

Wow.

You've given each other the perfect male fantasy.

Sex without emotional attachment.

John used to talk about going away for the weekend.

How would that have worked?

It wouldn't.

[Elena breathes sharply]

Why didn't he just tell me about you?

He didn't wanna scare you away.

[Jonathan] Can I have your number?

Just in case.

In case of what?

In case I have to reach you.

[ominous music]

[cell phone clicks]

[keypad clacking]

[sharp inhale]

[cell phone chimes, buzzes]

[Jonathan] This is Hans's office.

I've met two geniuses in my life.

Hans and Dr. Nari.

[Jonathan breathes deeply]

This is what I want to show you.

You made this?

It's beautiful.

There was a hawk's nest up there,

on that ledge.

But, it's gone now.

What are we doing here?

I wanted to show you my model.

New Entry.

Why?

Because I've never done that before.

We shouldn't stay here too long.

[Jonathan] I went to the office today.

I had to finish up some things.

No run-ins to report.

Except Ruben.

He was putting up the sign-up sheet

for the exterminator.

I haven't seen any roaches since last summer.

Have you?

What have you been doing?

Talk to me.

[birds chirping]

[Jonathan] How did you find this place?

[Elena] I wanted to bring John here,

but he always had an excuse.

I come here to figure out my future.

And what have you figured out?

I think I might go back to school.

For art therapy.

Really?

I know I can come off as a bartender

who doesn't know what to do with her life.

My family see me that way and sometimes I do, too.

The universe doesn't move toward chaos.

It moves toward order.

[Jonathan] Things have a way of working themselves out.

[Elena] You're really not him, are you?

[door opens]

[Elena] My aunt and uncle own the building.

They're giving me a good deal.

[door closes]

She's got dementia and I help take care of her.

[Jonathan] You have a lot of DVDs.

[Jonathan chuckles]

- Can we watch this one? - [Elena chuckles]

[Elena] Sure.

[man speaking in French through TV]

[woman speaking in French through TV]

What time is it?

Uh, it's almost 4:30.

- You'll be fine. - I know, um...

I'm never out this late.

[remote clicks]

[ominous music]

[door creaks, closes]

[panting]

[somber music]

[camera clicks]

[whizzes]

[camera beeps]

[camera beeps]

Hey, J.

You okay?

[John] You, uh, didn't make a recording,

so I got worried about you.

Uh, after work I've wandered around downtown,

listening to music.

I was crossing the street

and I felt this hand on my shoulder,

and it pulled me back, and this taxi zoomed by.

It was this tourist lady from, like, Texas or something,

you know, when they have their hair all done up.

[John chuckles]

"And she said."Oh, I'm sorry,

my maternal instinct just kicked in."

I mean, I was more embarrassed than she was.

I know you know what I was thinking.

Could have been her. [soft chuckle]

Remember when we used to make those drawings?

Imagining what she looked like?

I went around the corner and...

leaned against the building.

I felt the wind just knocked out of me.

I'm not mad at you anymore.

I'm sorry, man.

[beeps]

John's back.

That's good, isn't it?

[Jonathan sighs]

I'm glad he's back.

But I think I'll miss you.

[exhales]

Are you shaking?

[quivering]

I've never done this before.

[Jonathan] I know I said we're allowed to,

but I haven't.

Take your shoes off.

And your socks.

[Jonathan breathes heavily]

[dramatic music]

[breathing heavily]

[Elena] What does it feel like when you switch?

Does it hurt?

[chuckles] No.

It's like falling asleep.

[Jonathan] Hi. After work I was hungry,

so I got a sandwich in the park with Allison.

Remember her? The new girl?

We were talking, and then she kissed me.

Long story short, we went back to her place.

And, um...

Now I know what all the fuss is about.

[soft chuckle]

[beeps]

[dramatic music]

[clicks]

[Jonathan breathes sharply]

[ominous music]

Better late than never, man. [chuckles]

No, seriously, Jon, I'm happy for you.

That's great. Sex is...

sex is great.

[John] Anyway, I, um, talked to this guy at the gym

who told me about the security job

on, uh, 28th and Broadway.

I had a call with them

and it looks like it's a go, so, yeah.

I think it'll be good for me. I need a change.

And, uh, just me for four hours.

No distractions.

We got a unique situation here,

so I think it's time that I embrace it.

[clicks]

[knocks on door]

- Do you have a minute? - [Hans] Sure. Come in.

[Jonathan] The West Side Tower is a big opportunity for me.

I can extend my day by an hour if I come in at nine

and leave at two.

I can take my work home, I'll work on weekends.

And when I work, I really work.

[Hans] That's just not enough.

You need to be physically present

throughout the day.

I... I can do this.

[Hans] And Josh will be against it, but...

I'd like you on the project, so...

let's give it a try.

[Nariman] What do you think?

[Jonathan] I really like it.

Oh, good.

I wasn't sure and I wanted to be.

You seem...

uh...

I don't know.

Uh, different, more relaxed.

I, I'm on a new project at work.

The design is amazing.

Uh, it actually might be Hans's best.

[Jonathan] I shaved 16 seconds off my mile.

And I'm thinking about taking a life drawing class.

How are things between you and John?

They're good.

We're back to the routine.

I'm glad to hear that.

I don't like it when the two of you aren't getting along.

I let things slip before, and that can't happen again.

It's not safe.

[somber music]

[John] I heard from Tom.

Uh, he's getting married to that...

girl, you know, the one he broke up with.

[sighs]

He invited me to the wedding, but it's at two o'clock.

Work was all right.

The only guy I saw was this Chinese delivery guy.

He didn't speak any English.

[scoffs]

So, I, uh, had no one to talk to.

I told Ruben about the clog in the sink.

So,

he should be by tomorrow to fix it.

[keyboard clacking]

- How's it looking? - Good.

I need another two hours. I'll finish from home.

[Josh] Great. What time are the clients here?

- [Allison] Uh, nine. - [Josh] Great.

[cell phone clicks]

[Elena] Have you told him yet?

I don't want him to disappear again.

I just wanna know that this is genuine.

That this isn't just about John.

It's genuine.

Good.

For me, too.

I guess, in the meantime, we're safe.

It's not like he can walk in on us.

[foreboding music]

[background chatter]

[Jonathan gasps]

[woman moans]

[panting]

[ominous music]

[door closes]

[John] So, I'm walking home from work,

and I run into this guy on the sidewalk

who seems to know me.

And he asked me,

how things worked out between me and that girl.

And I say, "What girl?"

And he says,

"Elena."

And I say, "How do you know Elena?"

Suddenly, he's evasive, he starts walking away,

and I grab him.

And I ask him again, how he knows Elena.

And he gets angry, and he says, "You're crazy. Let go of me."

And I don't let go of him,

and he punches me in the face.

[scoffs]

You hired a goddamn detective?

And you had me followed?

What the fuck is wrong with you?

[Hans] Miriam, David. This is Jonathan.

Our newest addition to the team.

[unzips bag]

Let's get back into this, shall we?

Excuse me.

I need to get something from my desk.

Be right back.

[sighs]

- [Jonathan panting] - [rushing footsteps]

[Allison] Jonathan.

What's going on?

[Jonathan] I left my drive at home.

What happened to your eye?

I... I fell.

Okay, I'm just trying to be your friend.

I got punched in the face. It's complicated.

Go home.

I... I'll cover for you.

Thank you.

[Allison sighs]

[Jonathan] I was worried John was enjoying his life too much.

What are you talking about?

What does that even mean?

[Jonathan] There used to be three of us,

but he was keeping us from functioning properly,

so Dr. Nari had him removed.

When we were nine years old.

I was concerned that...

if you and John continued seeing each other,

that he would resent me and wanna have me removed.

Removed is?

Dead.

She can do that?

Yeah, she did do it.

[indistinct chatter]

[camera beeps]

I'm sorry.

About the detective.

I knew you were seeing somebody, and...

I guess I wanted to take control of the situation.

The truth is...

I...

was jealous.

It's always been easier for you.

And I was afraid...

that you wouldn't be able to love

somebody else

and me

at the same time.

[John] What you did was really messed up, man.

You're my brother.

No one can replace you.

I wish you'd just asked about Elena in the first place.

Then again, I should have told you.

The truth seems like

it's so easy, but it's not.

[keys jangle]

[drawer opens]

[objects clatter]

[medicine rattling]

[Jonathan] He's depressed?

But why wouldn't anyone tell me?

He was supposed to.

[scoffs]

[Nariman] Your eye looks better.

How... How are these pills gonna affect me?

They generally have no effect on someone who isn't depressed.

Maybe it's his new job.

You know John. He needs to be around people.

That could be part of it.

Have I done anything to upset him?

Well, he hasn't said anything. Have you?

I've been seeing his old girlfriend, Elena.

You told me to explore my life outside of his.

We've talked about this, Jonathan.

You've always been fascinated by the women John sleeps with.

[Nariman] And now you're actually seeing one of them?

I love her.

John's women cannot represent John

no matter how much you want them to.

You're leading her on.

You have to tell him.

[camera clicks]

[camera beeps]

There's something I need to tell you.

[dramatic music]

[breathing heavily]

[tape whirring]

[camera beeps]

Hi.

Uh, busy day.

We're moving into phase two of the tower.

I skipped my run this morning to go in early.

But I'll run longer tomorrow.

[camera beeps]

[somber music]

[panting]

[indistinct chattering]

I can explain.

[Josh] We just watched the security footage.

[door opens]

You told him?

- Excuse me, Isabel. - [Isabel] It's okay.

It's all right. Come with me.

- Are you okay? - [Isabel] I'm fine.

I don't mind you seeing someone, in theory.

But we can't have secrecy between you two.

He broke in and destroyed my office.

Oh, god. Is he all right?

Is he all right?

The fired me.

Oh, my god. Of course, that's all you cared about!

You were seeing his ex-girlfriend.

- I was gonna tell him. - But you didn't!

- You didn't! - You always take his side!

I take the side of the one who's right.

[softly] Then I guess I'm always wrong.

I already called her.

[Jonathan scoffs]

[Elena] Hey, it's me.

[Jonathan sobs]

[Elena] I heard from her and I know it's over.

I think she's right.

[Jonathan sobbing]

[sobbing continues]

[camera clicks, beeps]

You disappeared.

And I was lonely.

So I started hanging out with Elena.

I'm sorry.

[deep inhale]

Anyways, that is over now.

I hope you got your anger out.

You are an asshole.

You got me fired.

What are we gonna do now?

[foreboding music]

Hey.

Listen, John cut his wrist.

- [Jonathan] He cut our wrist? - [Nariman sighs]

- [Jonathan gasps] - [Nariman] But he called.

So it's a cry for help.

I want you to come to the house.

John can't be alone.

Do you remember that trip to Vermont?

Yes, of course.

But this isn't me, it's John.

[Nariman] It is?

It was evening.

But it was summer. John loves the summer.

He can see the sun for at least an hour every day.

Plus, look at the shirt he's wearing.

He used to make you promise

that the two of you would move to Scandinavia.

[chuckles]

He loved that he could have a full day of sun there.

Is Marshall still in Palo Alto?

[Nariman] Yes.

And still in the seminary.

Probably just to get back at me.

Religion isn't all bad.

I never said it was. Just the...

parts that interfere

with science or empirical evidence.

Anyway...

we're not speaking much these days.

You gave us our first home here.

Have I ever thanked you for that?

Everything's gonna work out, Jonathan.

[drawer opens]

[breathes sharply]

[rattling]

[Jonathan] Welcome to the suburbs.

It's been a while, huh?

At least, you wouldn't have to cook,

for a change.

And it'll be strange to sleep in our old bed.

Remember when we were 13,

and you figured out how to jerk off?

[soft chuckle] You were so excited to teach me.

I'm sorry you're unhappy.

I'm sorry for everything.

Do what she says.

And feel better, okay?

Please?

[sharp exhale]

[cell phone buzzes]

[cell phone beeps]

[foreboding music]

[inhales deeply]

- [Jonathan] Morning. - [Leslie] Morning.

There's toast and a hard-boiled extra egg

if you want it.

[Jonathan] No, thanks.

I'm fine.

- [Nariman] Good morning. - Morning.

- D'you sleep well? - Yeah, I took a pill.

[Nariman] Mm.

- [Leslie] D'you get any sleep? - [Nariman] No, not really.

How did it go with John?

He wants to be removed.

That's because he's depressed.

You have to fix him.

He's not a clock, Jonathan.

It's complicated. It takes time.

[Nariman] It used to be you had the career goals

and he had his fun.

Then he met Elena and he fell in love.

He can't be removed.

Let me finish.

He tried to become like you

and embrace your routine, but...

But I'm not enough for him.

It's not in John's nature to be like you.

He can't have a girlfriend

and he can't have you.

He feels so alone.

[breathes deeply]

[birds chirping]

I woke up this morning at 7:03.

[Jonathan] The timer's drifting again.

- Are you sure? - [Jonathan] Yes, I'm sure.

[Nariman] I'll take a look.

[somber music]

[somber music continues]

- [water trickling] - [rasping]

[echoing] [John] Hey, J.

[somber music]

[John] It was a beautiful night.

You could actually see stars.

I wish you could have seen it.

[panting]

What are you doing up?

I couldn't sleep.

[Jonathan] What are you making?

Lasagna.

It smells good.

There'll be leftovers for you tomorrow.

Are you okay?

[softly] I'm fine.

You always say that.

I used to worry about John.

Because he...

he had the night.

And as I got to know him, I realized...

he is the night.

[Nariman] I found myself staying up later and later...

just to keep him company

and talk.

[Nariman sobs]

You should get back upstairs. It's almost seven.

[somber music]

[ominous music]

[train rumbling]

[panting]

I know you and Dr. Nari are trying to help,

but there's no other way out for me.

[John] I don't wanna be here anymore.

Have me removed.

Or a week, a month, a year from now I'm gonna...

I'm gonna go off this bridge.

I don't wanna take you with me.

You'll be fine.

You'll be more than fine.

Do it.

[ominous music]

[Nariman through cell phone] Jonathan, where are you?

Call me.

I need to know you're all right.

[chains clinking]

[breathes deeply]

[Jonathan panting]

[light switch clicks]

[sighs]

[ominous music]

Are you okay?

[Jonathan] Yeah, I'm fine.

[ominous music]

[car horn honks]

[foreboding music]

[panting]

[loud thud]

[grunts]

[Jonathan gasps]

[foreboding music]

[panting]

[grunts]

[whimpers]

[panting]

[groans]

[monitor beeping]

[softly] [Nariman] Jonathan.

You're okay. I'm just running some tests.

[Jonathan] You didn't remove him, did you?

[Nariman] Nobody is getting removed.

[monitor beeping]

[beeping continues]

How... how's he doing?

- He wants you to know he's fine. - [Jonathan exhales]

And not to worry.

[Nariman] No. We replaced it.

The device isn't the problem.

John is, is still pushing through into your shifts.

But I'm not pushing through into his?

[Nariman] No.

He's not doing it on purpose.

It's just...

happening.

Why?

[Nariman] I thought you were thriving

and John was withering.

But I was wrong.

John is the one who's thriving.

[sighs]

That's why the timer has been drifting.

But he was depressed. He wanted to die.

John's demons are as intense as his passions.

[Nariman] I don't think he truly wanted to die.

If he's the one that's thriving...

then I'm withering?

John's shifts are getting longer,

yours are getting progressively shorter.

Your body can't support both of you.

I'm trying to reverse it.

He's taking over.

I'm dying.

Does John know?

I'm gonna keep working.

[ominous music]

No, stop.

Stop it. Stop it. Stop it!

[Jonathan sighs]

I wanna go home.

[Jonathan sighs]

I just wanna be with John.

[water pattering]

[car engine revving]

[zipper jangles]

[Sembene] Um, I'm supposed to tell you not to worry.

Where...

where are we going?

[Sembene] You really don't remember, huh?

You said JFK.

[foreboding music]

Hey. Hey, pull... pull over.

[Sembene] What?

Pull over.

[blinker clicking]

Hey!

[dramatic music]

[Sembene] Hey, what's wrong with you, man?

Are you gonna get sick?

My meter's running.

[ominous music]

I'm supposed to ask you...

if you're in pain. If it hurts.

No.

Just tell him I feel tired.

[ominous music]

[Sembene] He says he's glad you're not in pain.

[dramatic music]

[sighs]

Tell him I say goodbye.

[Jonathan] You and I were happier

than two people ever could have been.

[ominous music]

- [birds squawking] - [water crashing]

[wind howling]

I'm supposed to say to you, "Goodbye."

And you two were happy.

[sniffs]

What's your name?

[Sembene] Sembene.

I'm John.

[man chattering in French through stereo]

[John] Can you turn it up?

[stereo volume turns up]

[Sembene] Do you speak French?

[man chattering in French through stereo]

[tranquil music]

[tranquil music continues]

[somber music]
