The Black Box Page #3

Synopsis: Images flash through Arthur's brain, voices buzz in his mind, uttering disjointed words and sentences. Arthur Seligman seems to have had an accident but did he run over a little boy or not? And what was he doing near Cherbourg while he lives in Paris? When he regains consciousness (but does he really?) Isabelle Kruger, a nurse, tells him that he had lapsed into a coma after his accident and that she wrote down all of what he said while he was delirious. She gives him the notebook and Arthur starts investigating...HIMSELF!

My identity is there on those walls,

and I don't understand.

Chemistry can explore mental states

that traditional medicine cannot.

We know very little

about brain function.

We can't reduce "drugs" to the

moral debates on television.

It's simplistic and slows progress.

Anyway, I don't like the term "drug."

It's pejorative, inappropriate.

I'm talking about "psychoactives".

What am I risking?

Medically, frankly not much.

As long as you're accompanied.

Guidance is crucial in an experience.

And you can count on me.

You can rediscover the state

of mind during your delirium.

You'll return to your black box.

Your brain is like a transistor:

On one frequency while delirious,

and then switching over.

- That's why you can't read yourself,

Understand? - Yes.

Have a seat.

Relax.

- There's another aspect I must discuss.

- What's that?

Everything on this table is rare product.

What is rare is expensive.

Are you sure that...

Relax! Don't let the official

propaganda put you to sleep.

- C'mon, go for it!

- If I pass out?

I'm right beside you.

Give it a minute. Calm down. Listen!

How long does it last?

Time and space don't exist.

All is the present. Breathe.

- Nothing's happening.

- It'll come.

Go, now read your black box.

- Why is it fleeing?

- It didn't move.

Clovis!

Yeahhh!

- Breathe.

- I can't.

Sylvain Ganem wants revenge.

Sylvain Ganem wants to kill you.

He's Sylvain Ganem!

Call the police!

RP-50 RP-50

Fynoil buys out ACGroup.

Sylvain Ganem wants revenge.

Sylvain Ganem wants to kill you.

I'm going to puke!

So? See more clearly?

Did you find answers?

Leave me alone.

It's better that way.

Same freak-out after your accident?

Not at all! I was floating!

I was an angel, white light around me.

Silence... I was at peace.

Ah! Should have said so!

You said "delirium".

We'll try something else.

Stop Clovis. Stop or I'll kill you.

There are 3 distinct people

inside each of us:

The one we want to be,

The one we think we are,

and the one we truly are.

The first two are very familiar,

but the third totally unknown.

That's the one in your black box.

My brother has disappeared.

I'm afraid something happened.

- It's all in the black box.

- You think maybe...

All of it.

I live up there.

Well...

- I have a train to catch.

- Not me.

Nobody's home.

- Right this minute?

- Right this minute.

And in general.

I see.

But I don't know,

you need to catch your train?

There's always a train.

I think so.

Mr. Walcott?

Arthur Seligman, I have an appointment.

I was sent by Isabelle.

Remove your jacket, please.

Take a seat.

- Relax.

- Not sure if I explained on the phone...

Look at me.
