Testing, one, two, three.
This is Sergeant Timms
with a temporary discharge
evaluation for...
Name.
You know my name.
I've gotta hear you
say it for the machine.
You're kidding me.
No, please,
just tell the machine.
Is it bright in here?
Yeah, it's bright in here.
Darius Lefaux.
They say a life can
only be understood backwards,
but it must be lived forwards.
Occupation?
Investigator.
I was...
An investigator.
That's fine.
See? That wasn't hard.
So, how are you feeling,
Darius Lefaux?
Don't know what I'm doing,
that kind of thing.
You and me both.
That's normal.
I don't know
what clothes to put on.
I don't know what toothpaste
to buy.
Sure.
I don't know who I am.
Sorry?
I don't know who I am.
You don't know who you are?
You know who you are?
See that?
Yeah, what is that?
You're saying that Darius Lefaux
does not know who he is?
Not really, no.
Look, you know why
you're here, right?
Yeah, because of...
Yes, because of...
Stop.
Holy sh*t!
Are you all right?
Yeah.
...having trouble
remembering things, right?
We've been over this. Please just
tell me again for the machine.
I don't remember a lot of things
before ten years ago.
My childhood.
I'm gonna Miss you, Lefaux.
Look, this is
just a temporary discharge, okay?
We just want you to go home
for a while,
rest, relax,
get your head together.
You have any hobbies
that'll help you relax a little?
Hat tricks.
Hat tricks?
Hat tricks.
I don't know what
we're gonna do without you, Lefaux.
Oh, you're gonna Miss me.
Okay.
You're a crazy f***, Lefaux,
but you're not crazy-crazy.
So, congratulations.
I think this is gonna work out
the way you want it to.
Thank you.
Okay.
Now I'll just need your gun
and your badge.
You, um...
You gonna need
the silencer, too?
Silencer?
What the f***
are you talking about?
Uh...
I just want to go bowling.
Are you still
taking your meds? Yeah.
Good. Keep taking them.
It's nothing to be ashamed of.
All right, good luck, man. And
believe me, we'll be in touch.
I promise, I'll be in touch.
You want me to drive
for a while?
You're free to go.
They say I'm not dead.
That I'm just a splinter
in time.
How is it possible
I should like to begin
at the beginning,
like a Weaver at his loom.
I should like to say
this is the place to start.
There can be no other.
The headlines read
"double suicide."
An older gentleman and a younger
one found side by side.
But I know the real story,
and my end is my beginning.
Now here's where it starts
to get really strange.
Timms was right. I did see
things from time to time.
More and more,
the world didn't hold in place.
Like a patient's fever dream.
How did I know those tricks?
Darius!
Darius? I'm starving!
Where the f*** are you?
I'll be right there.
You're late.
I'm sorry.
What did you bring me?
Peanut butter and jelly
yuck. Set it over there.
What you watching, Babs?
They're announcing who wins
the second round.
Exciting.
Is this new?
Eh. Twice a day. I forgot.
You forgot? Babs, you can't just
take them when you remember.
I'm old, I forget sh*t!
I can give them to you.
Don't forget!
I won't forget.
Oh.
Here.
Jerk.
Here.
I'm, uh, going out.
Another date?
Yeah, another date.
Jeez, you're gonna get sick.
From a date?
Staying out late.
And what can you get
from those... women?
Crabs!
You're better than them crabby women.
What's that supposed to mean?
It means what I said.
You're better than them.
You have everything you need?
Yeah, yeah. I guess so, yeah.
Good.
I'm gonna go.
F*** off.
Hello?
Lefaux?
Yeah?
Lefaux?
Mm.
You're alive!
Of course I'm alive.
What time is it?
Man, you had us worried.
You've gotta
come down here. Why?
There's been a murder.
I thought I was
on temporary discharge.
Well, come back.
Is he a relative?
Everyone thought it was you.
The late shift patrol
found him by the dock,
stabbed in the navel.
It's... it's me, there.
Dead.
Dennis?
Lefaux, what are you doing?
Who's that?
Dennis, is that you?
Is that the wife? This isn't
your case, okay? You're retired.
Let me ask her some questions.
You can't approach a witness
like that.
She thinks you're her husband.
I'm not!
Well, you look like you are.
That's why I need some answers.
Dennis.
You come back.
Call me tomorrow.
I'll see what I can do.
Denny!
Now can we please get away
from this poor woman?
Denny!
Denny!
You come back to me!
If someone was murdered
who looked just like me,
maybe it was actually me
Yep, that's when you know.
That's when you know you're
putting the information
That's the good times,
because then
it's just captured forever.
And then all of a sudden
you're born all over again.
And as soon as you come out
into the world,
there it is, you know?
You're back.
Let's say you wanna
be with someone,
but you don't have anybody.
And put out a dating ad
and the dating ad says,
"my name is Susan.
I am 28 years old.
I have hair and legs. Do you?"
Well, that's wonderful for you.
But the problem is this.
The problem is, for me, no
one fits the description.
"Hello, my name is John Luka,
and I've been sitting
in a bunker for 10 years,
because some f***ing a**hole
dickface named Fyodor
said to me, 'kill someone,
