So, what is this?

There are two Martin Harrises, huh?

No, let me explain.

This man showed up at my hotel last night

claiming to be me.

- The police were called.

- I called the police, son of a b*tch!

He checked himself out of a hospital.

- He was in an accident.

- Professor.

Ja. Danke.

We talked, you and I, on the phone.

We discussed

alternative forms of propagation.

I told you about my father,

a schoolteacher, his passion for science.

We talked about your children...

...about how much time you've spent

with them since you lost your wife.

Two girls, right?

You told me their names. And I....

I just can't....

I know them. I know them.

- Laurel.

Laurel, Lily, twins.

Ten years old.

About the same age I was when I told

my father I wanted to be a botanist.

Do you remember, Professor?

We talked about that on the phone...

...how I'd never seen my father

this happy.

No, that wasn't you.

Don't you remember? We spoke

about how brave our wives were-

To marry scientists.

- I told you about our-

- Our honeymoon in Paris.

My wife and I. And how she wanted to visit

all the museums.

- All I wanted to do was go to the-

L'Ecole Polytechnique.

But she insisted. And that's how

I first saw Leonardo's Vitruvian man.

Wow.

This is not happening.

STUDENT:

Moment, Moment.

I don't know who this man is,

but he has taken everything from me.

You have to arrest him.

Go on, arrest him.

I don't believe I need to do this.

No.

My friend, he...

...looks....

No, he finds people.

Martin.

The mistake was mine.

I should never have let you leave.

- What's happening to me, doctor?

- Confusion...

...memory loss,

complete or partial loss of identity.

These are common stages in recovery.

A person can awaken from a coma...

...convinced of a reality

that was previously only fantasy.

We are going to sedate you now...

...do another MRI,

try to find out what's going on, okay?

If I'm not Martin Harris,

why do I know so much about him?

Perhaps he was someone

you read about...

...or met once in passing.

Do you know what it feels like

to become insane, doctor?

It's like a war

between being told who you are...

...and knowing who you are.

Which do you think wins?

Hello, Martin. This won't take very long.

GRETCHEN:

SMITH:

GRETCHEN:

It's okay. I'm feeling much, much better.

And now with us,

Rebecca for the weather.

Hello?

So it's going to be

a cold night here in Central Berlin...

...with an overnight low

of three degrees...

...and a high probability of more snow

throughout tomorrow.

And now to the West,

to the Ruhy Valley.

- Herr Jrgen?

- Yeah?

You met her?

She looked after me in the hospital.

She was kind to me too.
