This program is to be viewed only in the event of
the violent overthrow of the President of the United States.
In such an event,
the following files are to be assigned
Omega 6 classification.
This information must not be released to the public
under any circumstances.
There is no contingency plan.
Ask not what your country
can do for you...
The only thing we have to fear
is fear itself...
Our long national nightmare...
I am the President of the United States!
Paddles.
Clear!
Again.
Clear!
Again!
Clear.
Every night, the dream comes.
And then it's gone.
Monday, quarter to seven.
Lights on.
My life has become a series of endless routines.
Five, four, three, two‐‐
‐ Top o' the morning, chief.
Rise and shine.
It's a good day to get better.
‐ Mornin'.
I see they upped your calorie count,
so something's working.
‐ Yeah, it almost feels healed.
‐ What'd I tell you? Progress.
You gotta drink more water
- for me, though, okay? - Yeah, I know; you're right.
I don't have much of an appetite.
‐ Well, let's get moving.
‐ No, no; I'm gonna try it on my own today.
‐ You think you're ready?
‐ If I don't get outta here soon, I'm gonna lose my mind.
‐ Well, we wouldn't want that, would we?
All right.
Easy does it.
Whoa, whoa, whoa!
- It's okay, it's okay. - Goddammit!
- You'll do better tomorrow. - I thought I could do it.
Paging Dr. Burroughs.
Paging Dr. Burroughs.
My routine never changes.
Only the faces are different.
Hold on.
This isn't procedure.
And he isn't part of the routine.
Have I seen you before?
‐ Let's start.
You said I'd recover my memory by the time I could walk.
I took my first steps this morning, still nothing.
‐ That's wonderful. Congratulations.
Now, Dr. Larson, I can't...
I can't do this anymore.
You're lucky to be alive, Henry.
The blood loss from the second bullet
deprived your brain of oxygen for ten minutes.
Technically, you died twice:
once in the shooting, once on the operating table.
I've never known a patient survive that kind of trauma.
An outcome of retrograde amnesia,
while unfortunate, is still a miracle.
If my body can heal, why can't my mind?
Perhaps it's protecting you.
Or maybe it doesn't want to face what happened.
‐ Then tell me who I am and let me decide for myself.
‐ In good time.
But for now,
why don't you tell me how it felt
- to take your first step? - You're not hearing me!
I'm ready for something else.
‐ I am running a new study.
It's highly experimental.
But clinical trials offered hope.
‐ Hope sounds good.
These treatments represent a breakthrough
in neurotechnology.
But this regimen contains risks.
‐ What kind of risks?
‐ I can't share that information until you complete the trial.
Once started, participants must complete the study.
So even if you experience adverse effects,
we require to continue.
Do you understand?
‐ I want my life back.
What's that sound?
It's calibrating.
Welcome, Henry.
He'll get you situated.
Watch your knee.
‐ How does this work?
Just look into the viewfinder
and follow her instructions, okay?
- Okay. - You'll be fine.
This session establishes
an emotional baseline.
Are you ready?
Yes.
Initiating phase one.
I've seen one of these before.
I tell you what I think it looks like.
‐ Only speak in response to questions.
What is your name?
Henry.
‐ Please formulate your answer in a complete sentence
incorporating the questions.
‐ My name is Henry.
Can you identify the man in the photograph?
It's... it's me.
When was this taken?
Please formulate your answer
in a complete sentence incorporating the question.
‐ I don't understand.
Please formulate your answer
in a complete sentence.
‐ I‐I get it.
Yes, I can identify myself.
That's Henry Cameron.
Why have you been taking these?
Please refrain from speaking
until I ask you a question.
Do you want to get better?
‐ I absolutely want to get better.
That's why I signed up for your trial.
Please refrain from speaking
until the sequence is complete.
‐ What the fuck?
Hi.
‐ You're up.
How are you feeling?
‐ Better, I... I'm better.
Are you new?
Graveyard shift.
Only come out at night.
Your temperature's good.
Do I know you?
‐ No.
- Gotta go finish my rounds. - Wait, wait, wait, wait.
Can't you just... stay for a minute?
I don't get a lot of chances to just talk to people.
I'm in one of the trials.
‐ I know, I, um... I peeked at your file.
‐ So you know who I am?
‐ I'm sorry, I shouldn't have said anything.
‐ No, no, no, say more, whatever‐‐
whatever you know would help.
‐ Not now, Henry.
Goodbye.
You got it.
Atta boy, chief.
You got it!
Okay. Now we're training.
Come on!
You're almost there, come on!
Hey!
Atta boy, chief.
Beat your best time by 12 seconds.
‐ I couldn't do it alone.
‐ Alone?
You'll never be alone, Henry.
Don't you ever forget that.
I'll always be with you.
‐ Until I get out of the hospital.
‐ Right. Until then.
Now let's get you back to your room.
- Okay. - Do you recall
any details about the night you were shot?
I don't remember anything about the night I was shot.
Tuesday.
Rise and shine.
Do you know why you were at the event
where you were shot?
‐ I don't remember being shot, so no.
- Let's go. - Wednesday.
Do you recall any contemporary world events?
‐ It's a good day to get better.
Thursday.
I have no knowledge of any current events.
‐ Come on!
Do you know the name
of the President of the United States?
‐ Rise and shine.
Friday.
I do not know the name of the President of the United States.
Dr. Burkhoff, please report
to Psychiatric Intake.
‐ It's you!
It's you.
It's you! It's you!
It's you! It's you! It's you!
