and we'll pay you.'"

a man named A-K. Kimikan.

Let me spell it for ya.

A-K Kimikan.

You can't really

rely on anybody,

'cause when you start

to rely on people,

they almost always let you down.

And sometimes

it's in little ways.

Sometimes somebody

lets you down in the way

where it's like, "I'm gonna make

you unhappy or temporarily sad."

And then the other type

of letting you down is

when they let you down

and they almost make you dead,

and you're never gonna

come back again.

Or if you do come back again,

it's just gonna be different.

So what do you do?

You just think to yourself,

"you know what?

From now on,

what I'm gonna do is

do it all myself."

So, it's like if there's a

camera, I'm gonna make it,

because you can't rely on

anybody else to make it for you.

It's like the technology is

always gonna work against you.

It's like having somebody else's

teeth inside your own head.

It's, like, what are

you gonna do, go like this?

But it's gonna sound like this?

It's never gonna work that way.

You don't want a foreign mouth

inside your head.

You don't want your head on

top of someone else's body.

Put that in a dating ad

and see how you do.

I had to find out why

someone might be trying to kill me,

and meanwhile,

I had a date to attend.

But you're not sick now?

Of course not.

That was years ago.

Sure.

10 years flies by pretty fast.

I'm sorry?

I just said that 10 years

flies by pretty fast.

10 years ago?

Where was I 10 years ago?

I don't remember a lot

about my childhood.

What about you?

What about me what?

Can you tell me anything

about you?

Um...

Yeah.

It was very...

It was very nice to meet you.

I can't feel my face.

Really? Wait, are

you... I... I mean...

I was just... sorry.

Um...

Daniel and I were the type of

friends who would sit for hours

and just laugh about things

and talk.

And then Daniel was

also the type of friend

who every once in awhile

would just, like,

make you feel like something

was real in the world.

His wife said he left

for work and never came back.

He works in a nail factory.

He composes string quartets

for a hobby.

Nail factory? You serious?

Yeah.

What's his background?

That's just the thing.

Apparently suffered

from a major case

of amnesia a decade prior.

History's completely spotty.

What do we know about him?

Woke up on a highway.

Couldn't remember his name.

Couldn't remember anything...

His family, his childhood.

Slate's clean.

Are you all right, Lefaux?

Are you taking the medication?

Yeah.

Yeah.

All right, come on.

Come on.

Police are investigating

the brutal homicide

of a 40-year-old man

early Wednesday morning.
