True, nervous.
Very, very dreadfully nervous
I had been and am.
But why will you say
that I am mad?
The disease had sharpened
my senses, not destroyed,
not dulled them.
Above all was the sense
of hearing acute.
I heard all things,
in the heaven and in the earth.
How then am I mad?
Hearken and observe
how healthily,
how calmly I can tell you
the whole story.
I was taken.
I sacrificed myself
to protect my team.
To protect you all.
No, not again.
Dear God, not again.
Will I ever escape,
will I ever be free?
Don't tell them anything.
Do not tell them anything.
Don't let them break you.
Don't tell them anything!
I wasn't always broken.
I once commanded the skies.
But now...
I can count on no one.
I Don't even know
if I can count on myself.
Maybe, maybe
this time it's over.
my life and my mind.
The price was too high.
No one else
would have given so much.
Let's start with last week.
I pray it's over now
and you can believe me.
And I can be at peace.
And be with her.
I'm makin' lies up
In my sleep
I run
From truth
How's he doing? He's been
awake for a few hours.
Did he say anything?
That's why we called you.
He won't stop talking.
Was he carrying anything?
Just this.
All right.
How you doing, Sean?
Gave us quite a scare
with that disappearing act.
You doing all right'?
You wanna talk
about what happened?
I'm here to help.
A lot of people
trying to help me lately.
Here.
Where you been?
You're shaking, Sean.
Are you nervous?
True, I'm nervous,
I'm very nervous.
But why would that make me mad'?
I feel
as if I can hear everything.
I'm sharper than ever.
I can hear your doubts,
hear your guilt.
I can hear all things in heaven.
Many things in hell.
Do you remember what happened?
I remember everything.
I am not a madman.
I loved the old man.
ridiculed, insulted me.
I didn't want him for his money.
Money there was.
I think it was his eye.
Yes, it was his eye.
Whenever it fell upon me,
my blood ran cold.
And so by degrees,
very gradually,
I made up my mind to take
the life of the old man.
And thus rid myself
of the eye forever.
Yes, his eye.
Why did he have to die'?
Tell me again, Sean,
what did he know?
What do you remember?
Listen how calmly and precisely
I can tell you this story.
My first time in New Orleans.
I wish I had better memories
of this beautiful city.
But my road to sanctuary
ran through this town,
and I can never forget.
As I rode the ferry across
the Mississippi River,
I could feel some clarity,
faint and fleeting,
but I was hopeful.
Maybe I could find peace.
Maybe my sacrifice
could come to an end.
Sean?
Yes.
I'm here to make sure
you get to the facility.
They don't want you
wandering off of it.
I didn't expect all of this.
It's nothing.
We always make sure
our guests are comfortable.
Lot of high up military
officials and politicians
come through here.
Is it far from here?
Huh, you in a hurry'?
It's not that far at all. Just relax
and enjoy the view of the river.
Sure is nice this time
of year, ain't it'?
Yes, it is.
Yeah, river's always changing.
Full of life.
Full of expression.
You lived here long?
All my life.
My parents were born here on
the island where I was raised.
And their parents.
And before that,
my great grandparents.
Interesting.
Most of my family
are fishermen, proudly.
Boy, I can't think of any other
