Original subtitles

You can tell a lot about a person from their apartment.

If you know how to look.

Here's to forgetting.

Some things.

(Bottles clinking)

(Gulls crying and waves crashing)

(Birds calling out)

(Chuckling) There you are.

Here.

Don't you recognise your brother? 6?

He's not my brother.

Why would a man deny the existence of his own brother,

when he's standing right in front of him?

Because he's sick, demented. Isn't that what you want me to think?

Let us concern ourselves only with evidence.

Brought these from home.

Remember that?

- Stuff could be fake. - And does your flesh also lie, 6?

You fell out of a tree and cut your arm.

You could have done it while I was sleeping.

Buddy, we just want you back the way you were.

- You're not gonna catch anything. - Yes, I will. I did last week.

Perhaps therapy might work, yes? What do you say, 6?

Give the talking cure a try.

Oh, you would like that, wouldn't you?

Meddling with my mind.

What are you afraid of, 6?

A glimpse into your psyche discovering that you are the problem, after all?

I'm not afraid.

Come on!

Good. The sessions are booked.

A man with nothing to hide is a man with nothing to find.

(Chatter and laughter)

WOMAN: Good to see you, 6. MAN: Home at last.

- Hey, look who it is. - Hey, Uncle 6, you're not dead!

- Hey, good evening. - Oh, it's good to see you.

- Hey, Dad. - I've made your favourite.

Barbeque pork wraps.

- It's Wonkers! - (Excited chattering)

Let's go in.

Ah, see, we never miss Wonkers.

- 46-5... - Yes?

Oops, there we go.

- I don't like pork. - Oh, go on. It's your favourite.

There is something.

OK, so, 765 is in love with 23-30, but 23-56 is pregnant to 46-5,

and 913 had an affair with 23-30.

I feel...

So, 765 is jealous of 23-30,

and so she, like, took her revenge by sleeping with 46-5.

- 46-5... - Yes.

- I'm leaving you. - No...

765: Yes. - Oh, no!

Why?

I love your brother.

Oh.

(Classical music)

You have a lovely family.

I know it...

and I'm proud of it.

But it's not real, is it?

And I'm not your brother.

My brother's dead...and I'm somebody else.

- 6, it kills me to see you like this. - Did you take anything?

- What? - Papers from my pocket?

- No. - Cos maybe you work for them.

I don't know. I only know that none ofthis is real.

If you won't go to your therapy, then, I will.

I have to, because let me tell you, I just want my brother back.

And itjust kills me to...

Why is it so dark in here?

Why does it feel so dark to you?

Well, my home is not my home.

My brother's not my brother.

Nothing's real.

(Chuckles)

And what feels real to you, 6?

Why should I tell you?

Because it bothers you.

Doesn't it?

(6 chuckles)

You can't cure your thinking with your thinking, 6.

You have to hand it over.

There is something in you which you feel the need to find.

You feel the need to resolve it.

Am I right?

Let me tell you something interesting.

Numbers on a phone, how they work.

They have a logic, a purpose.

I get the feeling this is not merely information.

When you borrowed my phone, the number you dialled,

it wasn't a number.

That's pretty observant. What kind of a guy notices stuff like that?

Just someone suspicious.

You didn't make a call.

There was something came into your head?

I saw a seagull this morning.

- Some kind of bird? - Yeah, that's right, some kind of bird.

And I got to thinking, "Either you're a long way from home,

or we're a lot closer to the beach than I realised."

(6 chuckles)

And what is "the beach"?

That's where you go on vacation.

Tell us about your vacation.

Not much to tell.

Me and my brother, we'd take the train to the sea.

(Boys calling out)

We called it "the edge ofthe world".

Giant saltwater rod for him.

A fishing net for me.

Wait a minute... Did you just say "us"?

Who's "us"?

He is me...

We are me.

I find it conducive to work in this way.

- I can engage. - And I can reflect.

I think we're done here.

6, wait!

There's no requirement that you share your thoughts here with me... Us.

Simply to have them.

6! 6, wait!

I met your brother. Seems like a sweet man.

Perspires a lot.

I mean, I think he's a worrier, and I think he's worried about you, 6.

He's not my brother.

- 6, just accept the possibility that he is... - Listen to me. I am not a number.

Right.

There was something in my pocket. Did you take it?

No, there was nothing in your pocket, 6.

Bye.

6, there you are. I thought, "What's the one thing that helps a man not dwell on his troubles?"

Work, huh?

Come on, let's go see the guys.

(Horn toots)

Hey, 130.

Look who's here.

- (Cheering) - Hey, welcome back!

He's lost some weight, don't you think, boys? Looks to me like a man who needs a beer or 12.

We'll take you out with the boys tonight, 6. Put some flesh on them bones, huh?

How do you fancy getting behind the old wheel?

- (Surveillance audio static) - Why do you think I can drive this thing?

You're the best there is, 6.

But I've never driven a bus in my life.

(Chuckles) Listen to him, boys.

How about you just get behind the wheel, and see if it all comes back to ya, huh?

Fire her up.

- (Engine starts) 16: Ah, as sweet as a honey nut wrap.

(Chuckles)

(Yodelling song)

The village tour will depart in approximately one minute and 20 seconds.

See the sights! If you've already seen them, see them again.

See ya! Bye!

16: Your driver today, my buddy and my brother, No.6.

Coming up here, on your left, is the Village museum of modern art,

containing the famous painting of crying 38-30, by 794.

And then, coming up, one ofthe highlights of our tour, the clinic.

Every day is a sunny day in the village.

Moving on now, over to the corner, the newly rebuilt Solar Café.

You were right, of course.

He is resistant to the possibility of revealing the 6 inside.

And why is that?

He feels alone.

Oh!

Very good.

He dreams of escape.

He feels rootless.

And yet, his roots are right here, under our feet.

What ails the man?

He described...

..a fishing trip.

Fishing? We like 6's fishing stories, don't we, 70?

Some kind offantasy.

Perhaps you'd do better trying to find the 2 inside.

(Laughs nervously)

Well, why not, since I'm here.

We could have a poke around. See what makes 2 tick.

The inside 2.

I'm curious. I want to know what's going on inside of me.

Let's start.

My wife...

I'm the reason she's the way she is.

Perhaps we should stay with the matter of 6.

I know I can trust you.

I love my son.

But I have thoughts...

If he knew me, if he truly knew his father,

he might not like me.

Do you like me, 70?

You are 2. We all love you.

But do you like me?

(Nervously) I don't really know you.

What I do know is that you are a wonderful man.

Of course.

You think I believe all ofthis therapy babble, do you?

"My mother sat me sideways on the potty when I was a toddler, so now I want to sleep with her"?

Oh, grow up, man!

Have you had sex with your mother, 70?

- No. Never. - Well, don't.

2...if I might ask... If you don't believe in the value ofthe talking cure...

It's not necessary for me to believe.

It is necessary for 6 to believe.

The sights and delights just don't stop, folks.

Actually, this is one of my favourite parts ofthe trip - the desert.

My kids, they always say to me, "Dad, what's beyond the desert?"

and I tell 'em, "More desert."

(All laugh)

Around every dune, there's another dune, right?

In a few moments, we'll pull up for some light refreshments.

91 will be coming around with some delicious wraps.

And remember, take out your cameras.

This is one ofthe best views ofthe towers.

- Where are you going? - There's something I wanna see.

- Ah, a very slight detour. No cause for alarm. - (Thud)

(Passengers gasp then laugh)

WOMAN: What is happening? - OK, everyone, this is an unscheduled stop.

Can you see it on the map?

16: Who can tell me what it is?

WOMAN: Some kind of bus that broke down? 16: Ah, not even close.

What are you doing?

It's an anchor.

Which means, somewhere around here...is a boat.

Yeah, or a ship.

A ship means water, and water means ocean, right?

What does ocean say to you? Anyone?

Uh, this is what's known as a desert folly, which means it's a nothing.

- No, it's not. It means escape. - (Low chatter)

WOMAN: He's spooking me. MAN: Escape from what?

Yeah?

Come on.

Something I wanna show you.

MAN: Where are they going? WOMAN: Are theyjust gonna leave us here?

(Waves crashing)

What is this place?

It's the ruins.

Were there ever trains?

I don't get you, 6.

It's the ruins. It's the same as it's always been.

We came here every day, when we were kids.

We played soldiers, and hide-and-seek.

We used to call it "the edge ofthe world", remember?

How can you forget that?

I...guess I do feel something, being here.

I can't... I can't deny it.

But, why?

Why should I feel belonging,

when I've never been here before?

Try to ask yourself, do you really think that whole family, those kids,

- are living their lives just to deceive you? - Maybe.

If you're right, there's no way out of here. What then?

Can't we have life here?

Isn't that something?

Two people, like your brother, his family...

No, no, no, no, no. That's what they want us to think.

313, you ever been on a boat?

Why would I?

You don't know what you're missing.

I noticed you...sitting on your own.

I decided that if I spoke to you you might wanna get to know me. Is that so bad?

Why tonight?

- Why choose the day that I resign? - Well, maybe it's a coincidence.

Do you know the way?

(Jaunty music from TV)

ANNOUNCER: Everydayis a sunnyday.

It's Wonkers!

46-5: Life is short. 765: It's the same thing, over and over,

day in and day out.

It's like we can never escape.

I'm 16, your guide. Your driver today, my buddy and brother, No.6.

(Applause)

Coming up here, on your left, is the Village philharmonic hall.

And then, coming up, one ofthe highlights ofthe tour...

The clinic.

And next, today especially for you,

the home of our great patron.

The one, the only, home of you know who -

Palais 2.

"Wow" being the operative word here.

Wouldn't it be amazing if 2 came out right now? (Chuckles)

MAN: It sure would.

Oh, he...

WOMAN: He's much better-looking than on TV.

He's coming.

It's good to see you looking so much better, 6.

Driving your bus around, spending time with your brother.

Family is the greatest gift the village can give us.

- Isn't that right? - Hmm.

Perhaps one day you will have a son, 6.

I recommend it.

It's only when you have family that you learn the meaning of love.

Oh.

Oh, do sit down.

Are we enjoying our little sightseeing trip?

- Wonderful. - Good.

- And what do you think of your driver? - (Various expressions of praise)

There, good news.

One family, here on this bus, has won a holiday, to the Escape resort.

I have the ticket here.

And the lucky family is...

- 16. - Yes!

I have always wanted to go to Escape resort.

I can't wait to tell the kids.

Fantastic. Thank you.

(Applause)

16: And that wraps up our tour for today.

I bet you're all ready for a beer, or 12.

Escape resort.

You're gonna come with us, aren't you, 6?

This resort... Is it by the sea?

- The sea? - Yeah, you know, the sea - the ocean.

Water, waves.

Oh, you mean the pool?

You gotta come, 6.

Come away with me.

765: Life is short. 46-5: So come away.

765: You'd never escape the guilt.

46-5: 913 wouldn't care.

765: It would break 46-5's heart.

- His wife and his own brother. 46-5: I can't let you go.

6: You took them. - No, I...found them in your pocket.

You fool around with me like everything's a joke.

What, do you report on me? Tell 'em what I say to you?

Why'd you take them?

I like them. I like the idea of another place.

I'm sorry, I... I don't want to lose you...

..lose our friendship.

I was being stupid and... Look, it won't happen again.

I lied to you.

LUCY: You really are suspicious of people, aren't you?

You would be too if you worked there.

You haven't told me where you work.

I am...

I was an analyst for a company called Summakor.

We collect CCTV footage from around the world.

I watch people, I see things.

I collect data and statistics.

Myjob is to look for patterns, how we live,

..trying to find out what is going on.

And finding out what is going on is not good news.

Is that why you resigned?

Why do you ask?

Well, why shouldn't I be interested in you?

Sorry, it's what that place does to you.

What you need is a distraction.

(Giggles)

You know, I watch people like us doing things like this,

and I write about them in my reports.

So, if you were watching us now, what would you see?

Two people - a man and a woman - in a room, for one night,

because that's all they're capable of any more.

Please tell me that is not true.

- It's only a report. - It's what you believe.

It's what I see.

(Door opens and shuts)

It's ridiculous, I know, but...

..I've been lying awake, thinking maybe if I came down, they wouldn't be here.

You loved that thing.

You always say that.

But I don't remember it at all.

Memory is fickle.

6 says that everything here is fake, unreal. It's not possible.

I mean, why would the world be like that?

It is like that in 6's mind.

Look at me, 1 1-12.

Is this real?

Do I love you like no father ever loved a son before?

When I was your age, I questioned everything.

Young men always doubt, challenge. But never doubt your family.

Never.

Steven, come back!

(Panting)

Something happened...in you.

A memory.

Your fishing trip, perhaps.

Your brother?

Do you think it would help me to tell you?

I know it would.

765 is in love with 23-30. 23-56 is pregnant to 46-5.

913 had an affair with 23-30, so 765 is jealous of 23-30, so she...

He's running rings around us!

I see your fear, 70. I've been watching you.

You know you're a prisoner here just like me.

But you don't wanna know.

Well, I refuse to become you.

I do remember something about this place.

- Like something happened here. - Doesn't that make it true?

They do it to me somehow. They do it to all of us.

One, two...

three...

..five...

..six.

"Hello to you, who...whoever you are.

I'm 6.

I'm eight years old."

You sound like such a clever little 6.

Steven!

- Steven, come back! - It's a trick.

You knew where it was. You went straight to it.

It has to be a trick.

It has to be.

Tell me why you resigned. Please.

I worked on a floor called "Analysis".

We don't know who works on the next floor. We never see them.

I started to notice something,

and, like a good boy, I reported up.

And what was it?

People changing.

Too many people.

So I sent in the report. Got a three-word reply.

"Cease and desist."

But ifyou could find out why Solutions wanted you to stop.

Who are you?

You work in Summakor. You said "Solutions". I didn't.

No more bullshit. Who are you?

Yes, I work there.

You sit there, you look at me, and you tell me why you're here?

You think you resigned. Maybe you did, but it's not over.

They still control you.

6: I'm er...going on vacation with my brothertomorrow.

You called him your brother. Do you see?

I see I need to get out of here before I become a part ofthis place.

I er...be seeing ya.

There's a reason I go on those bus trips.

I heard the ocean once.

They stopped the bus.

I kind ofwandered off away.

I heard waves crashing.

I heard the ocean.

147: You know, I'm all for a wild-goose chase.

I'm an affirmative kind of guy, generally speaking, but, "I can hear big water"?

"Somewhere, there's the sound of splashing"? Please.

- You mind ifwe just shut up and drive, please? - Sounds good.

(Tannoy chime)

It's non-stop to the Escape resort,

departing in approximately four and half minutes.

- Where is he? - I don't know.

147: She's a crazy, 6.

(All panting)

147: Man, we are right where we were. And we were here even before that.

And we are right here again.

WOMAN: Maybe it was an illusion.

Maybe I never heard it.

Listen to me, you did hear something. You have to keep believing that you heard it.

I wish I could. I wish I could hear it now.

Try.

147: Listen.

6: Follow the towers.

2 put you up to this, didn't he?

What?

All this talk ofthe ocean. Yes, he did. He wants to throw me offtrack.

♪ We're going on a trip! - No, no, no, no, it's today!

- Where you going, man? - My family!

(Chuckles)

(Car backfires)

16: I knew you wouldn't let us down.

I told them. Didn't I tell ya?

6 never missed a vacation in his life.

Come on. What are we waiting for?

All right, everyone, we're all gonna have a nice, normal vacation.

16: You can't get to the towers. It's not possible. You know that, 6.

Do you know the way?

Come on!

♪ Is it hot as hell in here or is it me?

♪ It really is a mystery

(2 chuckling)

♪ If I die before I wake

♪ I pray the Lord my soul to take my misery

16: Do you hear me?!

You gotta cut this out! You gotta stop this!

I found something amongst the ruins.

Something of mine from when I was a boy.

I keep trying to prove I'm right, find a way out.

But what if I am wrong?

What if I am your brother?

All you've given me is love and kindness. I've repaid you with cruel accusations.

Maybe I am insane.

I'm sorry for all the pain I've caused you.

You're a good man.

I do trust you.

Hey...

I'm glad I have a brother.

6...

I'm not your brother.

I'm sorry! Please, you've gotta help me now! You've gotta help me.

I'm sorry.

(Screaming)

I try to be a good father.

You know, give them something good to look back on.

This place, it's what you dream of.

For a guy like me, it's out of reach.

I'm scared ofthem, 6.

They're watching us all the time.

Look at me, I'm shaking like a leaf.

Look, I need a beer.

6: What is it they want from me?

They must have told you something.

My head is so confused with confusion.

I... I don't even know ifwhat I just told you is true or not.

The other place.

Something about you talking about some other place.

- Stop it. - Are they really your family?

I don't even know any more.

I know it sounds stupid, but...I sort of do think of you as my brother.

Me, too.

6, is there another place?

There is.

You gotta help me get out there.

They will get me. They're gonna get me.

No, we'll get out first.

It isn't there, is it?

2 will know we were out here.

He'll know that I betrayed him.

I promise you, we'll find it.

(Gulls crying)

Steven, come back!

16: Whoo-hoo!

16, come back!

I'm onlyjust getting started.

Come on!

Get back here!

Ah!

(Desperate moaning)

(Gasping for breath)

It's gone.

- I have to tell you something. - Ssh! Uncle 6, Wonkers is on.

- (They laugh) - Your father...

Your father's dead!

- He drowned. - (They continue laughing)

(Howls)

Oh, 1 1-12, none of us can choose our family.

6: He swam in the ocean, tasted the saltwater in his mouth,

felt the power ofthe waves.

There is a way out ofthis place, no matter how loudly you shout that there isn't!

You're the one who is shouting, 6.

The louder a man shouts, the more profoundly he's wrong.

I'm not wrong. I'm telling you the truth.

My brother is dead.

6.

You see how he feels about his brother? It hurts...

as only a family can hurt.

Oh, no. I didn't mean that.

I didn't mean my "brother".

Oh, 6. Oh, poor 6.

I am not a number. I am not a number.

I am... I am...

Yes, 6?

My name is... Damn it!

My name is... Oh...

I am 6.

He's 6.

- I am 6! - That's right.

I am 6!

I am 6, you bastard!
