00:02:36 So where are you?
00:02:38 You're in some motel room.
00:02:40 You just wake up and you're in...
00:02:42 ..in a motel room. There's the key.
00:02:44 It feels like maybe it's the first time
00:02:48 ..perhaps you've been there for a week,...
00:02:51 ..three months, it's...
00:02:53 It's kind of hard to say, l... I don't know.
00:02:56 It's just an anonymous room.
00:03:00 This guy. He's here already.
00:03:05 Lenny!
00:03:06 It's Leonard.
00:03:10 - Like I told you before.
00:03:15 l guess I've already told you
00:03:17 Oh, well, only every time I see you.
00:03:28 - My car.
00:03:31 Oh, you're in a playful mood.
00:03:34 - It's not good to make fun of a handicap.
00:03:45 - Roll up your window.
00:03:53 - It's broken.
00:03:57 - So, where to, Sherlock?
00:04:00 - What the hell you wanna go there for?
00:04:03 Yeah, it's just this fucked up building.
00:04:07 Don't remember.
00:04:28 - Looks like somebody's home.
00:04:36 What are you talking about?
00:04:39 Tracks? What are you, Pocahontas?
00:04:43 Come on.
00:04:52 Let's take a look inside.
00:05:12 Teddy.
00:05:14 Don't believe his lies.
00:05:19 I've finally found him.
00:05:21 How long have I been looking?
00:05:24 Find anything?
00:05:27 Didn't think so.
00:05:29 Let's go, huh?
00:05:30 Oh, fuck this.
00:05:33 You're gonna pay for what you did.
00:05:36 Beg forgiveness and then you pay.
00:05:43 You don't have a clue, you freak!
00:05:46 Beg my wife's forgiveness
00:05:50 Leonard, you don't know what's going on.
00:05:53 - You don't even know my name.
00:05:55 Cos you read it off a fucking picture.
00:05:57 You don't know who you are.
00:06:01 - I'm Leonard Shelby from San Francisco.
00:06:05 ..what you've become.
00:06:07 - Shut your mouth.
00:06:11 Come on, let's go down to the basement.
00:06:13 Let's go down, you and me together.
00:06:16 Then you'll know who you really are.
00:06:23 - No!
00:06:26 It's just an anonymous room.
00:06:29 There's nothing in the drawers.
00:06:31 Nothing except the Gideon Bible,...
00:06:34 ..which I, of course, read religiously.
00:06:38 You know who you are
00:06:43 But just for day-to-day stuff,
00:06:48 Sammy Jankis had the same problem
00:06:53 He wrote himself a ridiculous amount
00:06:57 You really do need a system if...
00:06:59 ..if you're gonna make it work.
00:07:56 - Hi.
00:07:58 - I'm Mr Shelby from 304.
00:08:02 - Um...
00:08:04 Burt. I'm not sure, I think
00:08:07 - You don't know?
00:08:10 You said you like to look people in the eye
00:08:13 Yeah, yeah.
00:08:14 - You don't remember saying that.
00:08:18 - A condition?
00:08:21 - Amnesia?
00:08:23 I have no short-term memory.
00:08:28 Since my injury I can't make
00:08:32 If we talk for too long
00:08:35 ..and next time I see you
00:08:38 I don't even know if I've met you before.
00:08:41 So if I seem a little strange
00:08:46 I've told you this before, haven't l?
00:08:48 I don't mean to mess with you
00:08:52 - You don't remember me at all?
00:08:55 - We've talked a bunch of times.
00:08:59 What's the last thing you remember?
00:09:01 My wife.
00:09:03 What's it like?
00:09:09 It's like waking.
00:09:12 It's like you just woke up.
00:09:15 That must suck.
00:09:17 It's all backwards.
00:09:18 Like, maybe you got an idea
00:09:21 ..but you don't remember
00:09:24 I mean, I'm exactly the opposite...
00:09:26 - How long have I been staying here?
00:09:29 - And you're holding my calls?
00:09:32 OK, but this guy's an exception.
00:09:35 You know this guy?
00:09:37 - Yeah, it's your friend, right?
00:09:41 - I saw you together, that's all.
00:09:44 OK.
00:09:45 If he calls or shows up here,
00:09:49 - What, his name's Teddy?
00:09:51 All right.
00:09:53 Look, I hope my condition's
00:09:56 Not as long as you remember
00:09:59 Yeah. OK.
00:10:01 Forty.
00:10:05 This guy.
00:10:08 He's here already.
00:10:11 Lenny!
00:10:14 You really need a system
00:10:18 You kinda learn to trust your handwriting.
00:10:23 You write yourself notes.
00:10:27 You need a jacket that's got,
00:10:30 ..particular pockets
00:10:32 You just kinda learn to know where
00:10:36 You have to be wary of other people
00:10:39 ..that is not going to make sense
00:10:42 l don't know what makes people
00:10:44 ..of somebody with this condition.
00:10:46 If you have a piece of information
00:10:51 ..vital, writing on your body instead of
00:10:55 It's a permanent way of keeping a note.
00:11:04 Who is this?
00:11:14 Remember Sammy Jankis.
00:11:46 - Sir, you left these at your table.
00:11:50 Ah, Lincoln Street?
00:11:52 Just go straight out on Sixth Street,...
00:11:54 - ..go east through town...
00:11:56 - Oh, it's easy. Go straight out...
00:12:06 The Discount Inn.
00:12:32 Discount Inn.
00:12:35 Natalie.
00:12:38 My car.
00:12:42 Teddy.
00:12:57 John Edward Gammell.
00:13:01 This guy told me his name was Teddy.
00:13:07 Don't believe his lies.
00:13:25 - Yeah?
00:13:27 - Lenny, is that you?
00:13:29 Lenny, it's Teddy.
00:13:31 - OK. I'll be waiting.
00:14:33 White male.
00:14:36 First name, John.
00:14:38 Last name G for Gammell.
00:14:46 Drugs.
00:14:48 License plate.
00:14:51 SG1 3...
00:14:56 ..7lU.
00:15:02 It's him.
00:15:10 I've found you, you fuck.
00:16:14 You said we talked before.
00:16:16 Yeah, but it's not amnesia.
00:16:18 l remember up until my injury,
00:16:21 So I can't remember talking to you.
00:16:23 Oh, Sammy Jankis.
00:16:25 l guess I tell people about Sammy
00:16:28 Sammy's story helps me understand
00:16:31 Sammy wrote himself
00:16:34 But he got mixed up.
00:16:37 l have a more graceful solution
00:16:42 I'm disciplined and organized.
00:16:44 l use habit and routine
00:16:47 Sammy had no drive,...
00:16:50 ..no reason to make it work.
00:16:52 Me?
00:16:54 Yeah,...
00:16:56 ..l got a reason.
00:17:15 Today, 1pm, meet Natalie for info.
00:17:19 She has also lost someone.
00:17:41 - Natalie.
00:17:43 - I should've explained. I have this cond...
00:17:47 Please call me Leonard.
00:17:50 - I know, you told me.
00:17:53 Yeah.
00:17:55 Do you mind taking your glasses off?
00:18:00 Thanks.
00:18:01 So, you have information for me?
00:18:03 - ls that what your little note says?
00:18:06 Must be tough living your life
00:18:10 Mix your laundry list with your grocery list
00:18:15 l guess that's why you have
00:18:17 Yeah, it's tough. It's almost impossible.
00:18:21 Look, I'm sorry I don't remember you.
00:18:27 l do have information for you.
00:18:30 You gave me a license-plate number.
00:18:33 Had my friend at DMV trace it.
00:18:36 Guess what name came up?
00:18:39 John Edward Gammell. John G.
00:18:43 Do you know him?
00:18:44 No. But his face on his driver's license
00:18:48 l think he's been in the bar, maybe.
00:18:51 Here's a copy of his license,
00:18:54 Are you sure you want this?
00:18:56 - Have I told you what this man did?
00:18:59 Well, then you shouldn't have to ask.
00:19:02 Even if you get revenge,
00:19:04 You're not even gonna know it happened.
00:19:06 My wife deserves vengeance. It doesn't
00:19:09 Just because
00:19:12 ..doesn't make my actions meaningless.
00:19:14 The world doesn't just disappear
00:19:18 Anyway, maybe I'll take a photograph
00:19:22 Get another freaky tattoo.
00:19:28 Tell me about her again.
00:19:31 Why?
00:19:33 Because you like to remember her.
00:19:37 She was beautiful.
00:19:41 - To me she was perfect.
00:19:43 Don't just recite the words.
00:19:47 Close your eyes and remember her.
00:20:01 You can just feel the details.
00:20:06 The bits and pieces
00:20:14 And you can feel these extreme moments.
00:20:17 Even if you don't want to.
00:20:22 You put these together
00:20:27 Enough to know
00:20:35 And how much you hate the person
00:20:48 l, um, I added an address in here.
00:20:52 It might be useful.
00:20:55 Um, I guy I knew
00:21:01 It's isolated.
00:21:02 Sounds perfect.
00:21:07 - Do I owe you any...
00:21:10 - I'm sorry.
00:21:13 See, you have this condition.
00:21:17 You still staying at the Discount Inn?
00:21:26 Yeah.
00:21:30 - They treating you OK?
00:21:35 You know what we have in common?
00:21:39 We are both survivors.
00:21:45 You take care, Leonard.
00:22:15 Remember Sammy Jankis.
00:22:18 l met Sammy through work. Insurance.
00:22:22 I'd investigate the claims
00:22:25 l had to see through people's bullshit.
00:22:27 It was useful experience
00:22:30 When I meet someone,
00:22:33 l have to look in their eyes
00:22:36 My job taught me the best way to find out
00:22:39 Watch the eyes and the body language.
00:22:41 If someone scratches their nose,
00:22:45 It really means they're nervous. People
00:22:49 It's all about context.
00:22:50 Yeah, I was good.
00:22:52 Sammy was my first real challenge.
00:23:02 Yo, Lenny! I thought you'd split for good.
00:23:05 - Well, things change.
00:23:08 - My name's Teddy.
00:23:11 Only every time I see ya.
00:23:20 - Have I told you about Sammy Jankis?
00:23:23 I'm sick of hearing about the guy.
00:23:25 What about John G?
00:23:27 - Who?
00:23:30 - That's why you haven't left town, right?
00:23:32 - Leonard, you have to be very careful.
00:23:36 You mentioned that maybe somebody
00:23:39 Get you to kill the wrong guy.
00:23:41 I go on facts, not recommendations,
00:23:44 Lenny, you can't trust a man's life
00:23:47 - Why not?
00:23:50 - Memory's unreliable.
00:23:52 No, really. Memory's not perfect,
00:23:56 Eyewitness testimony is unreliable.
00:23:58 The cops don't catch a killer
00:24:01 - They collect facts and draw conclusions.
00:24:04 Facts, not memories.
00:24:06 That's how you investigate.
00:24:09 Memory can change the shape of a room,
00:24:13 And memories can be distorted.
00:24:15 They're an interpretation, not a record.
00:24:17 They're irrelevant if you have the facts.
00:24:20 You really want to get this guy, don't you?
00:24:23 He killed my wife.
00:24:28 He destroyed my ability to live.
00:24:34 You're living.
00:24:36 Only for revenge.
00:24:38 Well, then we'll get the bastard.
00:24:40 Where are you staying?
00:24:45 The Discount Inn. I don't know what room.
00:24:50 Probably left it in your room.
00:25:06 Hi.
00:25:07 I'm checked in here
00:25:09 How you doing, Leonard?
00:25:32 - I don't see my key anywhere.
00:25:35 You're in 304. I'm sorry. I fucked up.
00:25:37 - This is not my room?
00:25:40 Then why is this my handwriting?
00:25:45 Well,... this was your room
00:25:50 - When was I in here?
00:25:52 - Then I rented you another room on top.
00:25:56 Business is slow, I mean, I told my boss
00:26:00 ..he said rent him another room.
00:26:02 So how many rooms am I checked into
00:26:05 Just two. So far.
00:26:07 Well,...
00:26:08 ..at least you're being honest
00:26:11 - You're not going to remember anyway.
00:26:15 Leonard. Always get a receipt.
00:26:19 Oh, yeah. I'll write that down.
00:26:23 - Hey, what time is it?
00:26:27 Excuse me.
00:26:29 Your room's...
00:26:43 - Natalie.
00:26:46 I'd just become an investigator
00:26:49 Mr Samuel R Jankis, strangest case ever.
00:26:52 The guy's a 58-year-old,
00:26:56 He and his wife were in this car accident,
00:26:58 But he's acting funny,
00:27:03 The doctors find some possible damage
00:27:07 Sammy can't remember anything
00:27:10 Can't work, can't do shit.
00:27:12 The medical bills pile up, his wife calls
00:27:16 This is my first big claims investigation
00:27:21 Sammy can think just fine
00:27:25 He can only remember things
00:27:29 He'd watch TV but anything longer than
00:27:33 ..he couldn't remember how it began.
00:27:35 He liked commercials. They were short.
00:27:37 Sammy. It's time for my shot.
00:27:39 The crazy part was that this guy,...
00:27:43 ..who couldn't follow
00:27:45 ..could do the most complicated things,...
00:27:47 ..as long as he learned them
00:27:52 ..and as long as he kept his mind
00:27:55 The doctors assure me...
00:27:58 ..there's a real condition, anterial-grade
00:28:03 It's rare but legit.
00:28:06 But every time I see him,...
00:28:09 ..I catch this look,...
00:28:12 ..this... slight look of recognition.
00:28:15 But he says he can't remember me at all.
00:28:18 Sammy, it's OK. I got it.
00:28:21 - Hi, Mr Shelby.
00:28:23 Now, I can read people
00:28:28 So now I'm suspicious
00:28:34 Awake.
00:28:37 Oh, where am l?
00:28:42 Somebody's bedroom.
00:28:46 Oh, it must be her room.
00:28:50 But who is she?
00:28:59 It's only me.
00:29:04 - Did you sleep OK?
00:29:08 Oh, shit. Shit.
00:29:10 I gotta be someplace.
00:29:16 It's pretty weird.
00:29:18 It's useful. You never
00:29:22 l, um, I should be able
00:29:27 - ..about the license plate.
00:29:30 John G's license plate.
00:29:35 You have it tattooed on your thigh.
00:29:56 Natalie.
00:30:00 She has also lost someone.
00:30:09 If it's registered in this state,...
00:30:11 ..it should only take a couple seconds
00:30:13 I'll call you as soon as I talk to him.
00:30:16 Could we arrange a meeting now?
00:30:28 You know, it's great that you...
00:30:31 Well, that you're...
00:30:33 ..helping me...
00:30:35 ..like this.
00:30:36 I'm helping you because you helped me.
00:30:52 So next time you see me,...
00:30:54 ..will you remember me?
00:31:13 I think you will.
00:31:16 I'm sorry.
00:31:20 Lenny, before you go,
00:31:40 Yo, Lenny! I thought you'd split for good.
00:31:44 Sammy couldn't pick up
00:31:46 But I find something in my research.
00:31:49 Conditioning.
00:31:51 Sammy should still be able to learn
00:31:54 It's how you learn stuff like riding a bike.
00:31:57 It's a different part of the brain
00:31:59 So I had the doctors
00:32:03 - Pick up any three objects.
00:32:07 Where were you guys when I did my CPA?
00:32:10 Sorry.
00:32:13 Ta-da!
00:32:16 - Ow! What the fuck?
00:32:18 - It's a test, Sammy.
00:32:23 Some of the objects were electrified.
00:32:26 They kept repeating the test,
00:32:29 The point was to see if Sammy could
00:32:33 ..not by memory, but by instinct.
00:32:56 Natalie, right? Who the fuck is Dodd?
00:33:01 Guess I don't have to worry about him
00:33:04 - What the fuck have you got me into?
00:33:10 - Who is he?
00:33:13 This is my problem. You offered to help.
00:33:17 How did you get me into this?
00:33:18 You offered to help me
00:33:20 - How do I know he did that to your face?
00:33:24 I showed you what he did
00:33:26 - Oh, and I just take your word?
00:33:30 Something doesn't feel right.
00:33:32 I think someone's fucking with me,
00:33:35 - Did you?
00:33:36 Kill him?
00:33:38 - Course not!
00:33:42 This has nothing to do with you.
00:33:48 You have to burn them.
00:33:53 Leonard, you decided to help me.
00:33:57 You can question everything,
00:34:01 - There are things you know for sure.
00:34:04 I know what that's gonna sound like
00:34:08 I know what that's gonna feel like
00:34:12 Certainties. It's the kind of memory
00:34:16 You know, I can remember so much.
00:34:20 The feel of the world...
00:34:23 And her.
00:34:30 She's gone.
00:34:33 And the present is trivia
00:34:37 Hey, come on. Try and relax. Come on.
00:34:39 - It's not easy for me to relax.
00:34:43 Come on, take your jacket off.
00:34:45 Here. Come on.
00:34:49 Hey.
00:34:51 Didn't think you were the type.
00:35:02 It's backwards.
00:35:05 Come here. Come here.
00:35:30 What about here?
00:35:33 Maybe it's... for when I find him.
00:35:38 I've lost somebody too.
00:35:42 I'm sorry.
00:35:44 His name was Jimmy.
00:35:46 - What happened to him?
00:35:50 He never came back.
00:35:53 - Who did he go to meet?
00:35:57 What do the police think?
00:35:59 They don't look too hard
00:36:03 When you find this guy, this...
00:36:06 ..John G, what are you gonna do?
00:36:12 I'm gonna kill him.
00:36:16 Maybe I can help you find him.
00:36:23 I don't even know how long
00:36:30 It's like I've woken up in bed
00:36:35 ..because she's gone to the bathroom
00:36:42 But somehow I just...
00:36:46 I just know
00:36:54 If I could just...
00:36:56 ..reach over
00:37:01 ..I would know that it was cold.
00:37:06 But I can't.
00:37:12 I know I can't have her back.
00:37:16 But I don't want to wake up in the morning
00:37:22 I lie here not knowing
00:37:32 So how...
00:37:35 How can I heal?
00:37:39 How am I supposed to heal if I can't...
00:37:43 ..feel time?
00:38:57 She has also lost someone.
00:39:27 They kept testing Sammy for months.
00:39:30 Always with the same objects
00:39:33 - Ow! What the fuck?
00:39:35 - It's a test, Sammy.
00:39:38 Even with total short-term memory loss,...
00:39:40 ..Sammy should have learned instinctively
00:39:44 Other cases responded to conditioning,
00:39:48 It suggested that his condition
00:39:51 We turned down his claim on the grounds
00:39:56 His wife got stuck with the bills
00:40:00 Conditioning didn't work for Sammy,
00:40:04 But it works for me.
00:40:06 l live the way Sammy couldn't.
00:40:08 Habit and routine make my life possible.
00:40:11 Conditioning. Acting on instinct.
00:40:23 Awake.
00:40:25 Where am l?
00:40:29 Motel room.
00:40:31 Oh.
00:40:37 Some anonymous motel room.
00:40:43 Nothing in the drawers.
00:40:47 Nothing except the Gideon Bi...
00:40:49 Bible.
00:41:04 - Hey! Open up!
00:41:08 - Just a minute!
00:41:10 Open the door!
00:41:12 Lenny?
00:41:16 Open the door!
00:41:23 Come on!
00:41:27 - Hi, Teddy.
00:41:31 Oh!
00:41:42 Oh, I get it.
00:41:46 - Amorous neighbors.
00:41:48 You called me.
00:41:52 You know, I've had more
00:41:55 Although I do get to keep telling
00:41:59 What the fuck is that?
00:42:07 Who the fuck is that?
00:42:09 - You don't know him?
00:42:11 - Wait a minute. ls that John G?
00:42:15 You don't think so?
00:42:17 - I might have fallen asleep before I did.
00:42:22 Ask him.
00:42:27 What's your name? Your name?
00:42:30 - Dodd.
00:42:33 - What?
00:42:35 You did.
00:42:39 - I'm not going to help you kill that guy.
00:42:49 OK, Natalie. Who's Natalie? Natalie who?
00:42:52 - Why?
00:42:54 Look, we gotta get him out of here.
00:42:57 All right, all right, all right.
00:43:00 He's got to have a car, right?
00:43:02 We take him to his car, tell him to get the
00:43:06 We can't walk him out of here
00:43:08 - How the fuck did you get him up here?
00:43:10 You don't know.
00:43:14 Yes, I do. This is not my room.
00:43:18 - No, no, no. We can't just leave him here.
00:43:20 Because the maid's gonna walk in.
00:43:27 OK. We untie him, we clean him up...
00:43:30 ..and we march him out of here
00:43:32 A gun. Why would I have a gun?
00:43:35 It must be his. I don't think
00:43:39 Fucking hope not.
00:43:49 Which one?
00:43:53 We should probably steal his car.
00:43:56 - Shut up.
00:43:59 All right, get in.
00:44:02 Give me your keys.
00:44:04 Take your own car.
00:44:33 So was he scared?
00:44:36 l think it was your sinister moustache.
00:44:38 Fuck you. Should have stolen his car.
00:44:41 - Why? What's wrong with this one?
00:44:47 So what do you do now?
00:44:49 I'm gonna find out
00:44:59 Natalie, right? Who the fuck is Dodd?
00:45:04 Sammy's wife was crippled
00:45:07 And fighting the company's decision.
00:45:11 But it wasn't the money that got to her.
00:45:13 l never said that Sammy was faking.
00:45:16 Sammy, I have an idea.
00:45:18 Just that his problem was mental,
00:45:22 You're gonna have a pen in your pocket.
00:45:24 She couldn't understand.
00:45:26 - I did something wrong?
00:45:29 We're gonna deal with it.
00:45:32 She looks into his eyes
00:45:36 ..and if it's not a physical problem,
00:45:38 - Ellen called!
00:45:39 Ellen called.
00:45:42 - Ellen can't come!
00:45:45 - I'm trying! I'm sorry!
00:45:50 So, Leonard Shelby from the insurance
00:45:55 Just like he gave it to the doctors.
00:45:58 But I never said that he was faking.
00:46:01 l never said that.
00:46:07 Hm. I don't feel drunk.
00:47:22 - Hello? Housekeeping.
00:47:25 - Not right now!
00:47:56 Dodd. Put him onto Teddy
00:48:06 Dodd.
00:48:13 Get rid of him. Ask Natalie.
00:48:18 Teddy, Teddy.
00:48:30 Yeah, leave your number,
00:48:33 Yeah. This is a message for Teddy.
00:48:36 I'm at the Mount Crest Inn on Fifth Street,
00:48:38 l need you to come over
00:48:41 Oh, this is Leonard. Thanks. Bye.
00:48:46 Phew!
00:48:48 Fuck!
00:48:58 Mrs Jankis didn't understand that you
00:49:02 The more pressure you're under,
00:49:06 Ah. Well, then, call me back?
00:49:31 OK. So what am I doing?
00:49:35 Oh, I'm chasing this guy.
00:49:39 No. He's chasing me.
00:50:04 Ah! Fuck!
00:50:10 Dodd, white guy,
00:50:15 I'll get the jump on you, you fucker.
00:50:55 Oh, fuck!
00:50:58 Sorry.
00:51:33 l need a weapon.
00:51:39 This'll do.
00:52:03 Hm. I don't feel drunk.
00:52:47 Do I know this guy?
00:52:50 He seems to know me.
00:52:57 What the fuck?
00:53:12 - I like your car.
00:53:15 - Where'd you get it?
00:53:17 What, I haven't made
00:53:19 I wouldn't be too hard on yourself.
00:53:32 OK. So what am I doing?
00:53:45 Who is this?
00:55:05 Ouch! Cut it out.
00:55:39 - How can you read that again?
00:55:42 - You've read it, like, a thousand times.
00:55:47 l thought the pleasure of a book was
00:55:51 Don't be a prick.
00:55:56 Just let me read. Please?
00:56:10 Probably tried this before.
00:56:14 Probably burned truckloads of your stuff.
00:56:19 Can't remember to forget you.
00:56:39 Yeah.
00:56:41 Uh-huh.
00:56:43 Well, sir, that'd certainly be in keeping
00:56:48 l was hoping for more on the drugs angle.
00:57:01 The police report mentioned the drugs
00:57:03 The car was stolen.
00:57:06 l got friends in the department.
00:57:08 l dealt with the police a lot
00:57:10 With my condition it's really tough.
00:57:15 l have to summarize the sections.
00:57:17 There are pages missing.
00:57:21 l don't know why these are crossed out.
00:57:23 They weren't even looking for John G.
00:57:25 The stuff they found in the car fit in with
00:57:28 ..so they didn't chase it up.
00:58:05 Honey?
00:58:09 Honey, it's late.
00:58:33 Everything OK?
00:58:52 You OK in there?
00:58:57 Was it good for you?
00:59:02 What? Was I supposed to lock the door?
00:59:06 No.
00:59:09 I'd like you to leave now.
00:59:32 There's something about the drugs
00:59:35 The police claim the guy was an addict
00:59:39 He's not gonna go breaking into places
00:59:44 Well, I think John G left it there.
00:59:49 How do you know that?
00:59:53 Oh, shit, that's true. It fits.
00:59:55 So he's a dealer.
00:59:57 Hang on a sec.
01:00:09 Now we're getting somewhere.
01:00:12 Discount Inn.
01:01:06 Yeah, OK.
01:01:08 Blonde's fine.
01:01:11 Well, that's what they say.
01:01:14 The Discount Inn. 304.
01:01:17 Leonard.
01:01:19 Well, what then?
01:01:21 We just go to bed.
01:01:24 You go into the bathroom
01:01:26 - Slam it?
01:01:29 - And that's it?
01:01:32 Ah...
01:01:34 Yeah, first I just need you
01:01:40 Pretend they're your things
01:01:55 - Should I wear it?
01:02:03 l don't want you to use it. I'm sorry.
01:02:07 l just mean put them around the room,
01:02:16 Whatever gets you off.
01:02:42 l can't blame the cops
01:02:45 This is a difficult condition to understand.
01:02:48 His own wife couldn't deal with it.
01:02:51 l told you how she tried to get him
01:02:53 She came to see me at the office.
01:02:56 She told me about life with Sammy.
01:02:59 Thank you for seeing me.
01:03:01 She'd get Sammy to hide food
01:03:04 ..then she'd stop feeding him to see
01:03:07 I've taken him to a parking lot and, uh...
01:03:10 She wasn't a cruel person.
01:03:14 You know all about Sammy
01:03:17 The company's position
01:03:19 ..just that his condition
01:03:22 l just want to know
01:03:24 We shouldn't be talking like this
01:03:28 - I'm not appealing the decision.
01:03:31 Try to understand, when I look at Sammy,
01:03:37 l see my same old Sammy.
01:03:41 What do you think that's like for me,...
01:03:43 ..to suspect that he might be imagining
01:03:46 That if I just could say the right thing,...
01:03:48 ..he'd snap out of it
01:03:53 If l...
01:03:56 If I knew that my old Sammy
01:03:59 ..then I could say goodbye
01:04:06 As long as I have doubt
01:04:09 What do you want from me?
01:04:12 l want you to forget the company
01:04:15 ..and tell me if you really believe
01:04:19 l need to know...
01:04:22 ..what you honestly believe.
01:04:28 l believe that Sammy should be physically
01:04:40 Thank you.
01:04:43 l thought I'd helped her.
01:04:45 l thought she just needed an answer.
01:04:50 Just that she had one to believe.
01:05:07 - A car this nice you should lock.
01:05:10 - Teddy, your buddy.
01:05:13 Remember Sammy?
01:05:17 - Jeez!
01:05:21 What, your sense of humor went with the
01:05:25 - Unfinished business.
01:05:27 ..let me inform you,
01:05:31 - You're still here because of Natalie.
01:05:34 Schmuck! Whose house
01:05:40 That's right, take a look at your pictures.
01:05:45 Oh, nice shot, Leibovitz(!)
01:05:49 You'll want to make a note.
01:05:51 Why's that?
01:05:53 Because by now
01:05:56 ..and she's figuring out ways
01:06:02 She's already got you staying with her,
01:06:06 Let me give you the name of a motel.
01:06:08 You're lucky I ran into you.
01:06:10 - What do you mean, ''bad news''?
01:06:14 Look. See these?
01:06:15 This is the bar where she works.
01:06:21 She takes orders for him, arranges meets.
01:06:23 He writes messages
01:06:26 ..then she slips him the answers
01:06:29 - Why should I care?
01:06:33 ..she's gonna use you to protect herself.
01:06:35 From who?
01:06:37 Guys are gonna wanna know
01:06:39 Guys are gonna come after her.
01:06:42 Somebody's got to pay, Lenny.
01:06:45 Maybe she'll make it you.
01:06:46 Oh, yeah?
01:06:50 You worried
01:06:52 - No.
01:06:54 Because she doesn't know who I am.
01:06:58 - Why are you following me?
01:07:01 She doesn't know anything
01:07:05 So write this down.
01:07:08 When she offers to help,
01:07:12 I'm not lying.
01:07:17 Do not trust her.
01:07:27 There. You happy now?
01:07:29 - I won't be happy until you leave town.
01:07:32 You ever wonder
01:07:35 - ..before people start asking questions?
01:07:37 The same questions
01:07:39 - Like what?
01:07:42 - I have money.
01:07:44 My wife's death. I used to work
01:07:47 Oh!
01:07:49 So in your grief
01:07:55 You don't have a clue, do you?
01:07:59 Yes, I do.
01:08:00 l don't have amnesia. I remember
01:08:04 l am Leonard Shelby,
01:08:06 That's who you were.
01:08:08 You do not know who you are.
01:08:13 ..the incident.
01:08:15 You wander around playing detective.
01:08:21 Let me put it this way. Were you wearing
01:08:26 - I didn't sell insurance, I investigated it.
01:08:30 - Maybe you should investigate yourself.
01:08:37 Look, do me a favor,
01:08:40 Will you take the motel out of town?
01:08:46 It's been fun, Lenny.
01:08:55 Do not trust her.
01:08:59 Don't believe his lies.
01:09:14 Oh, fuck it. I need my own place.
01:09:23 No. She shouldn't have given me
01:09:27 I'm a claims investigator, not a doctor.
01:09:31 Yeah, yeah, I guess.
01:09:33 I've got all sorts of other considerations.
01:09:37 Legal responsibility, large financ...
01:09:44 - Who is this?
01:09:58 Write this down.
01:09:59 Write it down. Come on, concentrate.
01:10:09 - What happened?
01:10:12 Who?
01:10:14 Who?
01:10:15 Fuck, Leonard, Dodd!
01:10:18 Why?
01:10:19 Because of you! Because I did what
01:10:23 - ..tell him about Teddy. Great idea!
01:10:26 You're safe. It's OK.
01:10:30 Come on. Just sit down. Sit down.
01:10:34 Here, sit down.
01:10:37 OK. You're OK.
01:10:39 I'll just get some ice for your face.
01:10:49 Here.
01:10:57 l did exactly what you told me to do.
01:11:00 l went to Dodd...
01:11:03 ..and I told him
01:11:08 ..or the drugs.
01:11:10 And that this Teddy
01:11:14 And what did he say?
01:11:17 He didn't believe me.
01:11:21 He said if I don't have the drugs
01:11:25 And then he just...
01:11:30 Where is he?
01:11:32 - Why?
01:11:35 I'll give him some bruises of his own
01:11:39 Oh, he'll kill you, Lenny.
01:11:44 - My wife used to call me Lenny.
01:11:48 Yeah, I hated it.
01:11:51 Oh, this guy is so dangerous.
01:11:56 No, no, no.
01:12:00 And where I can find him.
01:12:03 ln my purse.
01:12:15 He'll, um,... he'll probably find you.
01:12:18 What do you mean?
01:12:19 l told him about your car.
01:12:21 Why?
01:12:24 He was beating the shit out of me,
01:12:29 Just write it all down.
01:12:46 Be careful.
01:12:48 I'll be fine.
01:12:57 - A car this nice you should lock.
01:13:17 Front desk? Burt, right.
01:13:21 Yeah, that's it, I don't want any calls.
01:13:24 No, none at all.
01:13:36 - What's wrong?
01:13:39 - Who?
01:13:41 What does he want?
01:13:42 Wants to know what happened to Jimmy
01:13:45 Did you?
01:13:47 No.
01:13:53 - What's this all about?
01:13:57 You're just blissfully ignorant, aren't you?
01:13:59 - Look, I have this condition.
01:14:03 l probably know more about it than you,
01:14:06 - What happened?
01:14:10 He took a lot of money with him
01:14:13 Jimmy's partners think I set him up.
01:14:16 - Neither do I.
01:14:19 - How?
01:14:23 - What?
01:14:25 What do you think I am?
01:14:28 What, then? Love?
01:14:32 - You'd kill for your wife, wouldn't you?
01:14:35 - Not to me, I wasn't married to her!
01:14:39 l can talk about whoever the fuck I want!
01:14:41 l can say whatever I want
01:14:43 l can call your wife a fucking whore
01:14:45 - Calm down.
01:14:47 You don't know how, you fucking idiot!
01:14:50 This has nothing to do with me.
01:14:52 How the fuck would you know?
01:14:56 - Hey, can you get angry?
01:14:59 You pathetic piece of shit!
01:15:02 l can say whatever the fuck I want and
01:15:07 I'm gonna use you. I'm telling you now
01:15:12 ..if I know that you could stop me
01:15:16 Did you lose your pen? Too bad, freak.
01:15:18 Otherwise you could write yourself a note
01:15:23 ..and that I called your wife a whore!
01:15:25 - Don't say another fucking word!
01:15:31 l read about your condition, Leonard.
01:15:33 You know one of the causes of short-term
01:15:39 Maybe your cunt of a fucking wife...
01:15:41 ..sucked one too many diseased cocks
01:15:46 You sad, sad freak.
01:15:52 l can say whatever the fuck I want
01:15:58 We'll still be best friends.
01:16:01 Or maybe even lovers.
01:16:06 Fuck!
01:16:12 I'll see you soon.
01:16:21 Stay focused.
01:16:23 Find a pen.

01:16:51 Keep focused.
01:16:52 Keep... Keep it in mind.
01:16:55 Write this note.
01:16:58 Come on, concentrate.
01:17:09 What happened?
01:17:10 What does it look like?
01:17:12 - Who?
01:17:15 Fuck, Leonard, Dodd!
01:17:27 Hello?
01:17:32 It's Burt, from the front desk.
01:17:36 Yeah?
01:17:37 l know you said you didn't want any calls
01:17:42 - A cop?
01:17:44 He says you're really gonna wanna know
01:17:47 I'm not too good on the phone.
01:17:51 Well, what...
01:17:56 You can, um, you can crash on the couch.
01:17:59 It's comfortable. Just have a seat.
01:18:02 Thanks.
01:18:09 So, how long do you think
01:18:12 Hm?
01:18:13 You told me you were looking
01:18:17 Oh, it depends on if he's here in town
01:18:25 Can I ask you something?
01:18:27 If you have all that information,
01:18:33 - They're not looking for him.
01:18:36 They don't think he exists.
01:18:39 You see, I told them what I remembered.
01:18:50 Her side of the bed was cold.
01:19:52 There had to be a second man.
01:19:55 Somebody hit me from behind.
01:19:58 It's the last thing I do remember.
01:19:59 Look, the police didn't believe me.
01:20:02 How did they explain what you
01:20:09 John G was clever.
01:20:11 He was clever.
01:20:13 He took the dead man's gun and
01:20:18 He left my gun and the getaway car.
01:20:22 They found the sap with my blood on it
01:20:27 And they only found my gun.
01:20:30 They didn't need to look for anybody else.
01:20:33 l was the only guy who disagreed
01:20:37 The cops are not gonna believe
01:20:40 Leonard. You can stay here
01:20:45 Oh, thanks.
01:20:47 l have to go back to work,
01:20:52 You can watch TV or have some food.
01:20:54 Whatever you want, OK?
01:20:57 One thing.
01:21:02 - Something to remember you by.
01:21:08 Natalie.
01:21:42 - What's wrong?
01:22:33 - On the house.
01:22:41 My, you really do have a problem.
01:22:45 - Hm?
01:22:49 Well, nobody's perfect.
01:22:52 What's the last thing
01:22:59 - My wife.
01:23:01 Dying.
01:23:04 l remember my wife dying.
01:23:10 Let me, um, get you another one.
01:23:13 l think this one's dusty.
01:23:19 Why are you calling me?
01:23:22 l know you're a cop. What do you want?
01:23:26 l don't know, something bad, maybe.
01:23:30 Look, why are you asking me?
01:23:32 You wouldn't believe me anyway.
01:23:35 Because of my condition, you don't
01:23:38 Nobody believed Sammy!
01:23:41 Ferdy's bar.
01:23:45 Come by after. Natalie.
01:24:03 - A beer, please.
01:24:05 A beer, please.
01:24:06 You can't just waltz in here
01:24:08 - What, is there a dress code?
01:24:11 - I'm meeting someone called Natalie.
01:24:14 Yeah, we met before, right?
01:24:18 - Then why am I here?
01:24:20 l don't remember.
01:24:22 Oh, you're that memory guy.
01:24:24 - How do you know about me?
01:24:28 - Oh, yeah? Who's your boyfriend?
01:24:33 No.
01:24:34 He knows you. He told me about you.
01:24:40 In fact, a cop came by earlier
01:24:43 Said he was looking for a guy
01:24:45 ..wouldn't know how he'd got here
01:24:47 l get a lot of guys round here like that.
01:24:49 Chronic alcoholism
01:24:56 - Are you Teddy?
01:24:59 - Did Teddy send you?
01:25:02 What's happened to Jimmy?
01:25:04 - I don't know that, either. Sorry.
01:25:07 You don't remember where you've been
01:25:11 l can't make new memories.
01:25:15 - Then why did you come here?
01:25:21 Your pocket?
01:25:47 Bar bet. Care to contribute?
01:25:50 - No, thanks.
01:25:53 Come on. Proceeds are going to charity.
01:26:08 Thank you.
01:26:27 - On the house.
01:26:34 It's completely fucked
01:26:38 It's amazing what a little brain damage
01:26:41 l guess it's poetic justice
01:26:44 You know the truth about my condition,
01:26:49 You feel angry, you don't know why.
01:26:54 You could do anything and not have
01:26:57 Like Sammy.
01:27:01 l didn't tell you?
01:27:05 She came to see me at my office.
01:27:07 l didn't tell her what I really thought
01:27:12 Just that his condition was mental,
01:27:14 l found out later that she went home
01:27:19 Sammy? It's time for my shot.
01:27:37 She knew beyond a doubt
01:27:41 so she found a way to test him.
01:27:55 Sammy? It's time for my shot.
01:28:00 Hm.
01:28:09 - She really thought she'd call his bluff.
01:28:13 Or she just didn't want to live with
01:28:26 Sammy?
01:28:30 It's time for my shot.
01:28:38 It won't hurt.
01:29:23 She went into a coma
01:29:27 Sammy couldn't understand
01:29:30 Oh!
01:29:32 He's been in a home ever since.
01:29:37 l was wrong about Sammy
01:29:40 She wasn't interested in the money.
01:29:44 His brain didn't respond to conditioning
01:29:48 And when she looked into his eyes,
01:29:52 When I looked into his eyes,
01:29:54 Now I know you fake it.
01:29:56 If you think you're supposed to recognize
01:29:59 You bluff it to get a pat on the head
01:30:03 You bluff it to seem less of a freak.
01:30:08 What drug dealer?
01:30:35 - Hey, Lenny, how you doing?
01:30:38 - It's OK, we know each other. Right, kid?
01:30:41 The Jag's out front.
01:30:44 What are you still doing here, Lenny?
01:30:47 l guess I wanted to get something down
01:30:50 - Give me the keys, I'll move it.
01:30:52 - Wait out there.
01:30:54 Give me a minute,
01:31:01 Fact six. Car license SG13 7lU.
01:31:11 Look, wait a minute, will ya?
01:31:17 - We gotta get you out of here.
01:31:19 Oh, man. Come on, Leonard.
01:31:22 - It's not safe for you to hang around.
01:31:25 Because that cop's looking for you.
01:31:28 ..some new clothes, a different car
01:31:32 Whoa, whoa. What cop?
01:31:34 He's a bad cop. He's the one
01:31:38 He's been calling you for days, slipping
01:31:42 - How do you know this?
01:31:46 - You're full of shit.
01:31:47 He knows you're no good on the phone
01:31:50 Sometimes you don't answer the phone...
01:31:52 ..so he slips shit under your door
01:31:54 ..giving you a line of crap about John G
01:32:00 - Who's Jimmy Grants?
01:32:03 The cop wants to know how his operation
01:32:06 - Somehow you're involved.
01:32:09 I'm a snitch. He's a cop from out of town.
01:32:15 If he knew I was helping you,
01:32:17 So take these clothes, put them on
01:32:21 Come on, Leonard, just go.
01:32:43 You are full of shit.
01:32:48 Come by after. Natalie.
01:32:51 Ferdy's bar.
01:33:34 Hey, Jimmy.
01:33:38 I'm sorry, l, uh,
01:33:42 Sorry.
01:33:44 That's OK.
01:33:59 This Jimmy Grants deals drugs
01:34:04 But he's not going to bring her along?
01:34:08 l always figured the drugs angle
01:34:12 No, officer. I'm as ready as I'll ever be.
01:34:15 You're in the lobby?
01:34:19 I'll be right there.
01:35:04 Lenny!
01:35:07 Officer Gammell?
01:35:12 Yeah. Come on.
01:35:31 - Hey, smile.
01:35:34 Over here.
01:35:41 ls it Officer or Lieutenant Gammell?
01:35:44 You know what?
01:35:47 - Why?
01:35:52 This is the directions, where he's going.
01:35:55 - My number's on the bottom if you...
01:35:58 Nah, it wouldn't be appropriate.
01:36:05 Nice picture. I look thin.
01:36:10 Hey, Lenny!
01:36:13 Make him beg.
01:37:37 Teddy!
01:37:41 Hey, Teddy!
01:37:45 Teddy!
01:37:50 Jimmy.
01:37:53 - What the fuck are you doing here?
01:37:56 Expecting any other Jimmys,
01:37:58 - Do you remember me?
01:38:03 Where the fuck's Teddy?
01:38:05 Well?
01:38:10 Motherfuck!
01:38:12 What are you doing?
01:38:15 Strip.
01:38:16 - You're making a big fucking mistake!
01:38:20 My associates are not the kind of people
01:38:23 Don't say anything else.
01:38:25 - I knew I couldn't trust that fuck!
01:38:33 Your pants, too.
01:38:36 - Why?
01:38:38 Whoa, whoa, whoa! Wait, wait, wait!
01:38:42 - Take your fuckin' pants off!
01:38:46 - Just take it!
01:38:49 - Just take the money and walk away.
01:38:51 Then, what?
01:38:54 - What do you want from me?
01:40:29 Sammy.
01:40:37 He said Sammy.
01:40:39 Oh, fuck.
01:41:01 What have I done?
01:41:04 Hey, mister! I need help!
01:41:05 There's a guy in here, he's hurt bad.
01:41:09 All right.
01:41:12 l don't know what happened.
01:41:14 - Do I know you?
01:41:17 - Is he still breathing?
01:41:20 - What the hell were you guys doing?
01:41:25 l hope it's not as serious as his
01:41:29 - Ow! Lenny! That shit kills!
01:41:33 - You are a fucking cop!
01:41:38 - Get up! Get up!
01:41:45 Who is that? He knew me.
01:41:47 Of course he did, he raped your wife,
01:41:50 Bullshit! He's not the guy.
01:41:52 His name is James F Grants. John G.
01:41:56 - Why did he bring two hundred grand?
01:42:01 - What was it for?
01:42:03 - ls this a drug deal?
01:42:07 Look, Jimmy's your guy. I figured
01:42:10 - How did he know me?
01:42:13 He dealt out of there. The guy at the front
01:42:18 He called Jimmy
01:42:20 - You're fucking using me.
01:42:23 He knew about Sammy,
01:42:25 You tell everybody about Sammy!
01:42:29 ''Remember Sammy Jankis?''
01:42:31 Great story.
01:42:34 So you lie to yourself to be happy.
01:42:38 We all do it. Who cares if there's a few
01:42:43 - What the fuck are you talking about?
01:42:47 Your wife surviving the assault.
01:42:52 The torment and pain and anguish
01:42:57 The insulin.
01:43:00 That's Sammy, not me.
01:43:02 Yeah, right.
01:43:06 Conditioning yourself to remember,
01:43:09 Sammy let his wife kill herself.
01:43:12 Sammy was a con man. A faker.
01:43:15 l never said that Sammy was faking.
01:43:18 You exposed him for what he was.
01:43:21 l was wrong. That's the whole point.
01:43:24 - See, Sammy's wife came to me...
01:43:30 It was your wife who had diabetes.
01:43:39 Ouch!
01:43:42 My wife wasn't diabetic.
01:43:45 You sure?
01:43:51 Ouch! Cut it out!
01:43:53 She wasn't diabetic.
01:43:55 You think I don't know my own wife?
01:43:59 l guess I can only make you remember
01:44:02 - Like old Jimmy down there.
01:44:05 He was to you.
01:44:07 Come on, you got your revenge.
01:44:11 What difference does it make
01:44:13 - It makes all the difference.
01:44:16 - Yes, I will.
01:44:17 - Somehow I'll know.
01:44:20 When it's done, I will know.
01:44:22 l thought so, too, I was sure of it,
01:44:28 That's right. The real John G.
01:44:33 - He's already dead.
01:44:36 Look, Lenny,...
01:44:38 ..l was the cop assigned
01:44:42 l thought you deserved
01:44:44 I'm the one that helped you find
01:44:48 The guy that cracked your skull
01:44:50 We found him, you killed him.
01:44:54 But you didn't remember.
01:44:57 So I helped you start looking again,
01:45:02 - Oh, yeah? So who was he?
01:45:07 No reason, Lenny, no conspiracy,
01:45:12 Couple of junkies too strung out
01:45:17 But when you killed him
01:45:22 But it didn't stick.
01:45:24 Like nothing ever sticks,
01:45:31 l took that picture.
01:45:33 Just when you did it.
01:45:38 Look how happy you are.
01:45:43 - Oh, gee, thanks(!)
01:45:46 l gave you a reason to live
01:45:50 You don't want the truth. You make up
01:45:56 It was complete when I gave it to you.
01:45:59 You, probably.
01:46:01 - No, it wasn't me, see, it was you.
01:46:03 To create a puzzle you could never solve.
01:46:06 Do you know how many towns,...
01:46:08 ..how many John Gs or James Gs?
01:46:13 - Your name's Teddy.
01:46:16 My name's John Edward Gammell.
01:46:18 Cheer up. There's plenty of John Gs
01:46:26 All you do is moan! I'm the one
01:46:31 I'm the one that put it all together.
01:46:33 You, you wander around, you're playing
01:46:38 A dead wife to pine for,
01:46:41 ..a romantic quest that you wouldn't end
01:46:46 - I should kill you.
01:46:50 You're not a killer.
01:46:55 Come on, what are you doing?
01:46:57 You know what time it is?
01:47:03 Fuck!
01:47:14 I'm not a killer.
01:47:17 I'm just someone
01:47:25 Can I just let myself forget
01:47:45 Can I just let myself forget
01:48:03 You think I just want another puzzle
01:48:07 You're a John G.
01:48:12 So you can be my John G.
01:48:23 Do I lie to myself to be happy?
01:48:26 in your case, Teddy,...
01:48:29 ..yes, I will.
01:48:44 Hey! Hey, that's not your car!
01:48:46 - It is now.
01:48:49 - Why not?
01:48:51 Somebody'll recognize it.
01:48:55 You know, I think I'd rather
01:48:59 l might hang on to this for a while.
01:49:03 Lenny.
01:49:04 Look, don't...
01:49:08 Help me find my keys!
01:49:10 Lenny!
01:49:18 Lenny!
01:49:32 l have to believe in a world
01:49:36 l have to believe
01:49:38 Even if I can't remember them.
01:49:42 l have to believe that when my eyes
01:49:48 Do I believe the world's still here?
01:49:54 Is it still out there?
01:49:58 Yeah.
01:50:02 We all need memories
01:50:08 I'm no different.
01:50:22 Now, where was I?
