Malignant

Do you remember being

upset when you came here?

Yeah, I was quite upset, wasn't I?

What was it all about?

I don't know.

I seem to have forgotten.

It doesn't seem important now.

Bite down.

Good.

Sir, you have to leave now.

We have to move the body.

The train's coming!

Wait.

- Come on!

- Wait.

Hurry!

Whoo!

Come on!

- I don't know if it's safe.

- It's fine.

Careful.

Whoo-hoo!

Ahh!

Whoo!

Yeah, yeah!

Whoo!

Whoo-hoo!

Whoo!

It's gone now. Come on.

Were you scared?

You crazy lady.

You're gonna comfort me

If I can be there in time

I'm not claimed

Yeah...

Enough to feel

Enough to see now

And enough to know

No, no, no, I'm not claimed

I'll have one more.

Mm. Mm.

Happy anniversary.

I love you.

Allex.

Who are you?

We met at the bar.

Don't you remember?

Open it.

J'ai tout papillon noir.

What?

It's a French expression

for having dark thoughts.

"I have black butterflies."

Whoever you are, just...

Just leave me alone.

I want to help you.

You want to help me?

I want to help you stop drinking.

Don't you want help?

Mm.

Look, I got to go to

the emergency room.

Right, just cover

for me, all right?

I-I'll be in as soon as I can.

Well, you already have stitches.

I know. That's why I'm here.

What exactly happened?

I don't know.

You don't know?

You know, blacked out, I think.

Hmm.

I've never been here.

You won't find me on...

Sir.

"A-L-L-E-X."

Well, you were here last night.

You came in drunk,

cut by a knife in a bar fight.

They gave you 11 stitches.

No, this thing is wrong.

You'll need to see a doctor

in a couple of weeks

to get the stitches removed.

- Aren't you gonna help me?

- You've already been helped.

No. This thing's wrong!

How would you know?

You blacked out.

If you'll excuse me,

there's a room full of people

who actually need my help.

The usual?

Yeah.

Let's just keep it one, though.

Hair of the dog.

You got it.

Hello.

You shouldn't have gone to the bar.

It's you.

Well, why did you cut me?

I was only doing what you asked.

Don't you remember?

Well, uh, that's bullshit.

I-I didn't ask you for anything.

You asked me to help you.

But you f***ing cut me.

We've already started.

- W-what do you mean, started?

- Started what?

The treatment to help you.

Our experiment.

Don't drink.

Don't black out.

You do, they die.

What?

Man, f*** you.

All right, I don't drink

and drive no more.

Don't drink, Allex.

F*** you.

Ohh.

Ow! Aah!

Hello?

Did you watch it?

What did you do?

Me?

That's you, Allex.

No. I would never do that.

But you did. I made you.

What?

When you black out,

you're no longer yourself.

That's bullshit.

It's your choice.

Stop drinking, no one else dies.

What did you do to me?

When you're cured, Allex.

And don't go to the hospital again.

I promise you you won't

make it there this time.

I was there last night.

That's where you did this, huh?

Really?

Is that what the

medical records say?

For your own good, no

hospitals, no doctors.

I wouldn't want to have

to forward that e-mail

to the police.

Look, tell Sean I'm sick

and I'm not coming in.

Hello?

Chad. It's Allex.

Hey, man. How you doing?

Uh, I need to talk to you.

- Sure, what's up?

- Not over the phone.

I got to talk to you in person.

You're still messing

around with electronics

and microchips, right?

You know it. Come on over.

Hey, dude.

Come on in the back.

Okay.

It's like a snuff film.

So, it's real?

No, I-it can't be.

Snuff films are all fake.

Somebody's messing with you.

I need to know if somebody

else is doing that,

or if it's really me.

You couldn't do that.

If it's me, it

wouldn't really be me.

It'd be somebody controlling me.

Sh*t.

Is it even possible?

I don't know.

You said there was metal in there?

Yeah.

That could be an implant.

You could have wires

leading up to your brain,

sending electrical signals.

That's kind of how the

brain-pacemaker thing works,

and that's been around for years.

Brain pacemaker?

Yeah, it uses deep

brain stimulation

to treat epilepsy and

major depression.

So, you're saying it's possible?

They're not even sure how

the pacemaker works,

and it's a different

form of control.

But maybe this thing can do it.

Man, you're talking some

seriously complicated sh*t.

Your guy would have

to be some kind of

combo scientist/tech doctor genius.

What you need to do

is get to a hospital

and see what the f***

is inside of you.

- He said no hospitals.

- You have to.

What other options do you have?

Don't worry about this video.

It's got to be fake.

Yeah.

One whiskey coming up.

Yeah, make it half, will ya?

A half?

Yeah.

All right.

Oh, hey, Charlie, um...

You know, say, like, uh, you

do a crime and, you know,

somebody's controlling you,

but you don't remember it?

You... you wouldn't be

responsible for it, would you?

- What are you talking about?

- Hypnosis?

I don't think anyone's

gonna buy that.

I mean, your body does the

crime, you're guilty, right?

Yeah, I guess.

It's all about the fingerprints,

not the mind-prints.

- Hey.

- Hey.

Right.

Night.

It has to be fake.

Help me!

Please, please.

Please help me.

Ow! Ow! Aah!

Now do you believe me, Allex?

Now do you understand that

the experiment is real?

The other one?

Is real.

I didn't read anything about it.

Do you really think

society will miss them?

They were carefully chosen.
