Limitless Edit

A few pills would buy me some time.

A few weeks passed this way.

A fight? Don't know how to fight.

A fortress with a hell of a view.

A guy from Eiben Chemcorp's in your office.

A hotel maid?

A hundred and five. That's who you were talking to, Carl. Delirium.

A memory I had never even recorded.

A reporter from the New York Post.

A tablet a day

A victim of foul play. Ms. Winberg was a well known socialite and model...

About the plight of the individual in the 21st century.

About what this drug would do.

Academically constipated books about a dead Supreme Court justice.

Actually wrote most of this guy's major opinions.

Actually, no, there's no more tickets.

After you, Senator.

Ah!

Ah!

Ah!

Ah!

Ah!

Ah!

Ah!

Ah. Mrs. Atwood, Carl Van Loon.

All my fear, all my shyness, gone.

All right, I'm gonna ask you again, Eddie. What do you know about this?

All right, just out of curiosity and that's all...

All right, we'll talk about it, but I, uh, need a favor first.

All right, you get your shot. Meet me tomorrow at the Saint Regis at ten

All right. You're right. Look, we just need to go to a bank...

All the way home, I thought about Melissa.

All they got now are salt cod and cheap condoms.

All you have to do is read three pages.

And an eyewitness reported seeing a man leaving the scene...

And as soon as he is able, we will proceed.

And be walking around alive.

And besides, I get the strong feeling

And don't wear the same color suit. This isn't The Matrix.

And finally, Kevin Doyle trying to sound casual.

And fun.

And he needs direct answers. Anything tentative and you've lost him forever.

And he's making every turn I'm making.

And hoping for the best.

And how am I gonna look if you don't?

And I hadn't missed much.

And I haven't been the same since.

And I understood it.

And I went right to the rumor mill.

And in return, I do what?

And it was all still possible.

And it's totally clear that anybody with familial adenomatous polyposis

And later. What are you gonna be bothering me with?

And let you know that apparently my capacity for self sabotage

And maybe grab a little... a little breakfast for us.

And my boss started to hate me.

And now, the only thing I'd have an impact on...

And one guess what they'd been looking for.

And put away in mothballs,

And so, here I am.

And tell me how the gutsy little schmuck who needs a ride home

And that gave me a little bit more of an uptake, but it's just a parlor trick.

And the Brits?

And the night was still young.

And the pain was starting behind my eyes.

And then I began to form an idea.

And then using his momentum, take him down.

And then, I felt it.

And tomorrow at nine, Atwood would sign the papers.

And trust me when I say this, I'm not even being creative.

And what I could do with my day was limitless.

And what if I don't like your ideas?

And you how they say that we can only access 20 percent of our brain?

And you know I want to share the rest of my life with you.

And you'll think your way out. That's what it does.

And your candle will have shed a brief, but lovely light.

And, uh, are you gonna get a new...

And, uh, it's pretty well polluting my days and nights, if you really want to know.

Anyway, I'm sure you're curious, too.

Are you deaf? I said leave her alone.

Are you OK?

Are you really implying that you have some sort of ultimate formula?

Are you still dealing, Vern?

Are you sure?

Armed with Vern's last $800, I made 2,000 in a day.

As possible, Mrs. Atwood.

At least I had some.

At least I still had Lindy.

At the end of the week, my brokerage account

Attack the sensitive areas. The eyes, the throat, the groin.

Atwood, um...

Babe, what's happening?

Back in the old times, I might peel your skin back. Fillet you.

Basically every place.

Be that a...

Beats me out of two properties,

Because I don't see you before and I don't like you already.

Because I would die here, too.

Because it worked out so well for you last time.

Because that stuff is dangerous.

Because you haven't competed. Don't make me your competition.

Because you'll know what to do. You'll take it and then you'll know.

Because you're not even a man. You're not even a man!

Because...

Blank checks from Dubai. Dumping in Chile. Disappeared officials.

Briefly.

Brother, I am light years from that now.

But after a while, I realized I couldn't concentrate on anything

But Atwood wouldn't get better. Because Atwood was out of NZT.

But banks weren't lending to guys like me.

But don't make the classic smart person's mistake.

But had they found it?

But he did not appreciate that Morris Brandt had kept the pills for himself.

But hey, I think they're achievable.

But I really... I really do want to do this again.

But if you don't, I'd be very interested in working with you.

But it would take money to get there.

But it's really, uh, my own personal manifesto

But mere lounging wasn't enough.

But my existence shouldn't make you this upset. What is it?

But no one had NZT.

But not for the big fat defense contract he bribed his way into.

But saner heads prevailed.

But SyCorps, Andine and others are jockeying

But the boys in the kitchen are calling it NZT 48.

But then I discovered this thing, Google.

But there is very little on this earth that 40 million dollars can't solve.

But this choice would at least be mine.

But we're instinctive creatures. We want to live.

But what do you care, man?

But you already knew that.

But you know what, Eddie, let's not even

But you obviously pick your stocks in a way which I haven't seen before.

But you think I didn't learn anything? That my synapses didn't change?

But, of course, research was a component. Massive research.

But, something remained.

Can he see you?

Can I combine these ingredients in the same exact quantity, yes, but,

Can I walk you to work?

Can it be a new key?

Carl Van Loon and Hank Atwood

Carl Van Loon wants to meet you?

Carl.

CEO? A global force? Maybe President.

Check. Check. Are you out of your mind?

Chemcorp. Yeah, that's me now. I'm moving out of the energy business.

Cleaning lady. Bank.

Clearly, there was a direct link between this Eddie,

Come on, Eddie. This is hardly a surprise.

Come on, let's go get a drink. I want to hear about this book.

Come on.

Come on. That's like Hef moving out of the mansion.

Come up here because it's beautiful, right?

Contained over two million dollars.

Control the whole power enchilada, but, no,

Couple kids. Who's the husband?

Devalue that stock completely in two years?

Did you know the small and large intestines is 20 foot long?

Did you see that?

Do you get it? You are gonna be out on the streets!

Do you have some left? Good.

Don't be ungrateful. You know how much that costs?

Don't forget to vote.

Don't leave the room.

Don't look like no aspirin I ever see. It's something good, huh?

Don't tell me I look good, 'cause I know.

Don't worry, everything's sterilized.

Done. Forty five thousand dollars.

Eddie Morra.

Eddie, give me a call when you get in.

Eddie, he's walking over here.

Eddie, I was talking you up to my boss and, well, the impossible happened, bud.

Eddie! Eddie!

Eddie! I know you're in there!

Eddie?

Eddie? This is Melissa.

Eddie.

Eddie.

Eddie. Here.

Eddie. Hey. Listen, I'm sure you have a portfolio,

Eddie. I just want to help you, that's all.

Eddie. I know you're in there, Eddie.

Edward!

Edward.

Eight hundred bucks. A pop.

Enabled me to finish the book in four days.

Energy sucking piece of shit who's sponging off your husband.

Enter Morris Brandt... the most lethal lawyer in New York.

Especially not my landlord's nasty young wife.

Even half listening to any language, I became fluent.

Even off NZT, I decided to give Van Loon's files a shot.

Everything I had ever read, heard, seen was now organized and available.

Everything's a technicality from here on in, isn't it, Eddie?

Excuse me one second.

Excuse me.

Exonerate their dad. That'd give you something that no one else has...

Explain.

FDA approved, that's a laugh. You didn't really believe that shit, did ya?

Finally get to meet the guys that keep the lights on.

Five companies were jockeying for a position before we even took notice.

For a guy with a four digit IQ, I must have missed something.

For a shitty little uptake?

For longer than ten minutes.

For the same industrial concessions in Libya

Forty million is plenty, Eddie. There's a lot more where that came from.

Four job offers, my bank raising my line of credit,

From now on, I'd happily be his errand boy.

Gant. When?

Get a little advice, maybe. I won't be bothering you much at first.

Getting smarter!

Give him his two crappy little minutes.

Give us a second.

Give you peace of mind. That's all.

Given to me by a highly unreliable guy I hadn't seen in years.

Go on.

Go there right now.

Go! Go!

Good to see you again.

Growth in the economy and would not pose an obstacle...

Had no idea I might soon be charged with murder.

Half cocky line of crap which is...

Has me on the run before I can even get to anybody in his camp.

Hastings has his oral history. I'd start there.

Have a toast point.

Have you asked yourselfwhat you're gonna do when you run out?

Have you been talking to anyone?

He followed me from my building. I don't know him.

He has 60 feet to stop. He doesn't have room.

He knew he had me.

He told me about all the people that were dying.

He walked out on her, if you really want to know.

He wasn't playing us. He's dying.

He... Uh, I don't know. He was, um...

He'll never give you this chance again.

He's an iconoclast, um...

He's currently at Lenox Hill, undergoing tests.

He's getting closer.

He's getting out.

He's got a knife. Eddie, I can't think my way out of a knife.

He's here.

He's worth a fortune.

Hello? Are you listening to me?

Hello? Hello?

Help! Help!

Her place.

Here it is. Here you go.

Here we go. Here we go. Here we go...

Hey, are you up for this?

Hey, buddy, are you trying to piss me off?

Hey, Eddie.

Hey, have you got it?

Hey, hey, hey, hey!

Hey, hey!

Hey, it's me. I thought you were coming over.

Hey, Liev.

Hey!

Hey!

Hey!

Hey!

Hey.

Hey... Oh...

Hi, Mr. Morra.

His boss was dead.

Holy shit, man.

Home. But it couldn't be my home, could it?

Hope not, so let me know when you know.

Hoping she'd have a condom.

Hotel rooms were no longer an option.

How could she be a failure, too? She'd been so smart.

How did you know that?

How do you know I'm in law school?

How do you know this?

How do you know you're gonna be alive this time next year?

How many other meteoric rises might be explained by NZT?

How much have you been taking, Eddie?

How unprepared you are to be on your own.

How you gonna pay me? In cigarettes?

How's Melissa doing?

I already have. As a matter of fact...

I called you guys!

I can make us safe. I'm back, OK?

I can't come in today, I'm sick.

I can't. I don't have a key.

I couldn't account for the last 18 hours of my life.

I couldn't keep this quiet on my own.

I cut you at waist.

I did things I would never do.

I did.

I didn't ask for your projections.

I didn't go in. I wanted to walk, move, digest, ingest.

I didn't know this before. Oh, I had such a poor vocabulary.

I didn't want to see anybody.

I didn't want you to see me this way.

I do.

I don't have delusions of grandeur, I have an actual recipe for grandeur.

I don't know what to do.

I don't know who you are, Eddie, or what you game is, but I'm sure of one thing.

I don't know. It's 2:00 in the afternoon.

I don't like being down to this last one.

I don't remember.

I don't think so.

I don't think that my life's gonna take some sudden upswing

I don't think your Fortune 500 financial friends would appreciate

I don't want it.

I don't want to make concessions to you...

I feel good, man. What's in this stuff?

I felt like I was going to explode.

I found that if I maintained an even dose,

I found that we can cut costs 30 percent and, um...

I got a lot on my plate. You're lucky I'm here.

I got another ten blocks. And then...

I gotta get back to work.

I gotta see this for myself. I'm dubious. It's another nice word.

I guess somebody gave me a wake up call.

I guess we're gonna find out, huh?

I had clearly missed the on ramp.

I had gotten remarkably little information from Vernon

I had no choice. I told Lindy everything.

I had no idea. I don't believe it.

I had thoughtlessly ingested a substance.

I hadn't had a cigarette in six hours, hadn't eaten, so... abstemious and tidy?

I hadn't heard her voice in ten years.

I have a... a supply stashed.

I have to go.

I have to go.

I heard that he was an antiques dealer?

I heard you like to party.

I hope it has. I hope you don't think you've gotten enough from me.

I hope you didn't do it for me.

I hope you do.

I just want you to know we have every intention

I knew every helix of every scrap of DNA in every company I bought.

I knew they would kill me slowly and horribly.

I knew what I needed to do and how to do it.

I know how it works. I get it.

I know I certainly am.

I know there's something you're hiding from me.

I know you're not stupid, Eddie,

I know, but I think if you take a look at them...

I know, listen, I just... I have all this data to analyze...

I learned to play the piano in three days.

I made some new friends who invited me to the beach.

I mean, at what point was the pony express supposed to ride in

I mean, come on. The two of you together?

I mean, I didn't know who or what I was talking to.

I mean, if my attorney was really working for Mr. Atwood,

I mean, you do know you're a freak.

I need you to get...

I read Brian Greene's The Elegant Universe in 45 minutes

I realize this is a useless platitude, but if there's anything that we can do,

I realized that there were other people who might know about NZT.

I see everything, Carl.

I sent over my revised projections.

I shouldn't... I'm sorry. I couldn't make it home.

I smell it on you. Right now,

I sort of created a utopian society

I still can't deal with that haircut.

I stopped taking it.

I suddenly had extra reason to get away from her.

I think we both know where it's headed, if you can maintain.

I think we should rehearse a few scenarios.

I think we're looking at a second overflow event.

I thought better of it. See, once you know what's in it,

I thought we straightened this out, Detective.

I told you your chances don't exist. We shut down your lab.

I totally get it. You feel invincible.

I wanna know why this clusterfuck of a deal is dead in the water!

I want some more of that stuff.

I want to able to look behind me if the opportunity presents itself.

I want you to know that you never, ever have to go through that again,

I wanted to make this as confidential as possible.

I was able to calculate certain patterns using algorithms.

I was blind, but now I see.

I was brokering the biggest merger in corporate history.

I was in love with you.

I was in the building, I was getting coffee. Why, has there been movement?

I was jacked in. Booted up.

I was less than usually equipped to answer.

I was like, down the hatch. And it was. It was amazing.

I was under the impression our business was settled.

I was wondering if you could pop down to the dry cleaners, grab my suit for me.

I was your girlfriend.

I wasn't high, I wasn't wired. Just clear.

I wasn't, when I was on it.

I wish you'd come to me at first, Eddie. I could have bought Eiben at 33 a share.

I wouldn't even recognize you on the street.

I, uh... I missed deadlines, got lazy, slow, so slow.

I'd been upping the dose for over a week.

I'd better not say any more.

I'd come this close to having an impact on the world.

I'd really like... Just call me the minute you get in. Call. OK?

I'll give you two million dollars if you can do it in six.

I'll go to your apartment.

I'll have my own assistant. Can you believe that?

I'll take it.

I'm 50 moves ahead of you and everybody else.

I'm all in.

I'm at your disposal.

I'm baffled by this guy. He comes out of nowhere so strong.

I'm behind. I'm behind on my book.

I'm branching out. I'm starting import export company.

I'm eating, Kevin.

I'm getting out of this side of the business.

I'm gonna get off it.

I'm gonna hand in 90 pages to Marla on Friday.

I'm off it, Carl.

I'm on special medication.

I'm plumb out.

I'm proud of you. And...

I'm sick.

I'm so sorry about what happened.

I'm sorry, Carl, I've had it with this unqualified, posturing little prick.

I'm sorry... Tyler, I gotta go.

I'm stuck. He'll find me.

I'm sure you can.

I'm sure you're curious about what happened to your boss.

I'm surprised.

I'm up to my ass with investment guys and you don't have their half terrified,

I'm your...

I'm... I'm...

I've already ordered.

I've been all over with them.

I've been doing, uh, some consulting for a pharmaceutical company.

I've been taking a lot.

Identified as Maria Winberg, was found dead in her room last night,

If that's what you're talking about.

If you are hit, do not stop.

If you just wait to see what she says...

If you look at column four, this was the first...

If you take a look at the lower left hand column, in 2008,

If you're writing a paper, that's not the book I'd use.

In 45 minutes, it was a polished gem. She was pleased.

In a down market, no one was making much.

In an optimistic scenario, gains of that nature merely would reflect

In my house.

In short... I was back.

In that first marriage to the girl with the right father.

In the end, how much worse could it get?

In this jacket?

Information about its inner workings, like anything, can be bought.

Information from the odd museum show, a half read article,

Interesting point. Grammatically, this guy was an idiot,

Investing in countries with no oil. Places I'd never go near...

Ironically, it's gonna be crude. Crude is gonna be where we're gonna hit them.

Is everything OK? Call me when you get this.

Is there any more useless than... the ex brother in law?

Is this Atwood 101? Doesn't everybody know about Atwood?

Isn't your Van Loon meeting tomorrow?

It seemed to cut my learning curve.

It was gonna be great.

It was much bigger than that.

It was possible. And possible was enough.

It was too slow. I'd need more capital.

It wasn't writing. It wasn't books.

It's a little grandiose, but I'm still reading.

It's about how mass psychology works.

It's an unparalleled three tier security system.

It's gonna be OK.

It's gotta be just one big handsome blur to this guy.

It's important, I really need to know what you're talking about.

It's just, uh, vitamins and aspirin.

It's not a good time, Eddie.

It's not the visceral kind of spike you want in short term holdings so...

It's not... in my apartment. I moved it.

It's really simple, babe. I need my pills.

It's really... it's really...

Jesus, he looks frail.

Just before. I had run into him on the street and, uh... yeah.

Just between us, were you there?

Just gotta put in the time. Stay in the room.

Just like that?

Just listen to me. It'll come on in 30 seconds.

Just read three pages in the next hour and...

Just this once.

Keep you supplied. No disruption in service.

Last year you traded

Lasts much longer.

Let's go! Open the door!

Let's just not do this, OK? Let me...

Let's say 45.

Let's see it.

Like Oliver Twist and his bowl of gruel.

Like the rent's not low enough!

Like this.

Like, uh, Viennese kinda, um...

Like, you know, like curlicue leg things.

Limitless supply. We know you can't get any more.

Lindy, I love you.

Lindy?

Lindy. I wouldn't have let him in, but...

Listen, Vernon hasn't been giving you anything, has he?

Look at history, all the countries that ever ruled the world.

Look, I am gonna stop taking it. There's just some things I have to do

Look, I don't wanna talk about her. I wanna talk about you, OK?

Look, I have a plan. I swear.

Look, you got a long way to go as a liar, kiddo.

Looking for me?

Math became useful.

Matter of fact, I have a book contract.

May I please speak with Jerry Brady?

Maybe a few months.

Maybe this is a different batch.

Maybe we should cool off. Talk again.

Melissa, hey, do you think that we can meet somewhere?

Melissa?

Melissa.

Might have two or three or even four labs?

Mixing itself together into a sparkling cocktail of useful information.

Mm hm.

Mm hm. I'm an editor.

More twists and turns in the Van Loon Atwood merger.

Mr. Morra.

Mrs. Atwood is in your office.

My brain was just pouring this stuff out.

My father happy to welcome me into the challenging field

My friends are rolling...

My husband experienced some pain and dizziness this morning.

My neighbor, who must have opened his door to complain.

My new friend, Kevin Doyle, showed me how you could leverage

My place.

My work rate increased just insanely overnight

Never more than 15 steps behind. And never stand too close together.

Next day, 7,500.

Next week, I'm gonna need 20 pills.

Next week, you can go fuck yourself!

Next year. How's your new assistant?

No one makes money that fast.

No one's stopping and thinking, "Hey, we're doing pretty well."

No surge of brilliance came up to greet me.

No, a cagey prick like him giving away power of attorney?

No, I gotta do the funeral and God knows what else. I just...

No, I haven't been talking to anybody, Carl. I'm not stupid.

No, I just wanted to apologize to you, Lin.

No, my ex wife's brother. I just actually ran into him on the street

No, no, let's meet at, uh... Billy's on Grant at noon?

No, no, that's probably a good idea.

No, not a fix.

No, now.

No.

No.

No. I don't want that. Please don't. I'll call you at some point, OK?

No. It's not you.

No. No. Well, they really keep me hopping here.

No. This is an exclusive product that's coming on stream next year.

Nobody believed that I actually had a book contract.

Nobody can operate at that level of mental activity and not crash.

None whatsoever. My husband is having tests.

Not much of a triumph, was it?

Not much, I... Well... What am I... What's up?

Not that you'd feel anything.

Not the dimmest clue. He was dithering.

Not yet.

Nothing.

Now he's in the ICU.

Now they're just sitting on a dank little island fussing over their suits.

Now turn to me...

Now you know I want more, so why would you upset me?

Now you're going backwards. What else you got?

Now, be warned. He's mercurial.

Now, I'll open up a line of credit for you.

NZT will do that to you.

Obviously, I don't need to point out the advantages for you.

Obviously, I miscalculated a few things.

Obviously, I'm in no condition to go out right now, so,

Obviously, this could not go on,

Obviously, we want to be as helpful and respectful

Of all the people I called... three were dead and the rest were sick.

Of all the useless relationships better forgotten

Of course, these intruders had been his dissatisfied clients.

Of course.

Of dental supply inventory.

Of signing the contract.

Off balancing your opponent

Oh, based on your charts and projections.

Oh, God!

Oh, God. I wish I was more surprised. He was involved in some stuff.

Oh, I think maybe you do.

Oh, I, uh...

Oh, I'm just connecting the dots. Is Hank Atwood really gonna go for it?

Oh, my God, I'm so sorry.

Oh, my God!

Oh, my God. Listening to her rag... If I were tripping, I'd jump out a window.

Oh, no, no, no, no, no.

Oh, shit. Listen, listen, listen. Listen, listen, listen... OK.

Oh, that's much better.

Oh, that's right.

Oh, Vern.

Oh, you're still trying to write?

Oh!

Oh. Self improvement month.

OK, give me that. Give me that!

OK, he is on his way.

OK, how did you do this?

OK, I need you to go into the bag and take one of the pills.

OK, I won't.

OK, it's a fix.

OK, Kevin.

OK, OK. I'll be there. I'll be there.

OK, please give him my best. Thank you.

OK, so what do we have here?

OK, so where did you move it?

OK, stop talking. Don't move.

OK, the decision could have changed. That makes sense.

OK.

OK.

OK.

OK.

OK.

On to the next.

One minute, your best friend, the next, you're a leper.

Only a writer. Strangely enough,

Only my money. And my liberty.

Only NZT could help me and the last of it was in this fuck's bloodstream.

Open the door, please!

Open the door.

Open up.

Or a stray shot of sperm, or whatever, or whoever the hell wrote

Or do I?

Or I shoot you right here. Take your pick.

Or I'm gonna make you tell me.

Or physical type between you and the rest of the line up.

Or was it there the whole time and all I needed was the access?

Or you'll kill people. You need 12, to 18 months...

Outside Lenox Hill Hospital today,

Ow!

Owns about half of Colorado.

Papers stacked like the Himalayas in my office, and you know what?

Paramour. Inamorata.

Pardon me, one second.

Partner? Squeeze?

Pattern recognition. That's your snake oil.

Peel your skin up over your head and tie knot in it.

People who aren't, usually don't carry around dry,

Please don't hesitate to tell us.

Police Department! Open the door!

Police spent hours questioning hotel staff and patrons

Police! Open the door!

Portugal with this big massive navy.

Prompting one top hedge fund manager to comment:

Pull yourself together. Get down to the meeting.

Question is, which is gonna come first?

Really call me back, Mr. Morra.

Remembered to eat, drank no alcohol,

Right away, it was obvious he was on NZT.

Right now, I just want to keep you brilliant...

Right. Well, I'll just... I guess I'll just see you at the funeral then.

Safer though my stash now was, I was not sitting around until it ran out.

Scammed out of some unidentified lab somewhere

She got some kind of Internet home sales kind of job. Couple kids.

She was right. Why stick it out?

Shit, if you ever cooked, I'd be dead, too.

Should be supplementing platinum based doublet regiments

Since when do you speak Italian?

Sit down.

Sitting on the couch of a TA I was trying to make,

Slightly drunk at 3:00 in the afternoon, and an earlier Eddie...

Smarter than anyone around her.

So all this energy of yours, all this focus...

So my foggy brain tried to remember where one tablet of NZT might be.

So that Shakespeare's catchiness belies mediocrity?

So then, I went on to door number three.

So this is prepared, Eddie?

So who could blame Lindy for dumping me?

So you bought your stocks based on what? The tom toms beating in the street?

So you got a fix on the game.

So, call me. And, uh, that's on the house.

So, Eddie Morra.

So, Eddie. You are interested after all.

So, Eiben makes NZT.

So, have you decided, Eddie? What are you gonna do?

So, I didn't matter now.

So, if I found certain algorithms in the perception of the stock...

So, Mom, I've been doing a little research on Aunt Helen's tumor.

So, uh, Liev told you that I'm looking for a short term loan?

So, uh... We should probably, uh, meet or something, right?

So, when does the book come out?

So, you guys tight? Hang out a lot?

So...

Some PBS documentary... it was all bubbling up in my frontal lobes,

Some unknown, untested, possibly dangerous drug

Somehow my unconscious had served that up.

Something's pumping half mass in there. The walls of your heart are dilated.

Steve handles the rent, so you can feed your crap to him.

Suddenly, I knew exactly what I needed to do.

Suddenly...

Sure, the stocks rose, but who wants to do all that work

Sure.

Sure.

Sure. Share prices aren't really based on how a company works.

Take a look at these companies and tell me what you think.

Tell him we can't do that. No, you tell him.

Tell me about this book. How's it going?

Thank you, gentlemen. I rely on your discretion.

Thank you.

Thanks for stopping by, Carl.

Thanks.

Thanks. Be right back.

That activate specific circuits.

That both our companies are pretending we're not sniffing out.

That doesn't sound very FDA approved, Vern.

That I kept absolutely nothing?

That is correct. An Edward Morra.

That makes both of us very happy campers.

That my apartment's previous owner was an arms dealer.

That one of the clerks he had fired

That was a great leap forward, right?

That was me, not so long ago.

That was two years ago.

That word doesn't even begin to describe what you are to me.

That would bring back... Enhanced Eddie.

That you would even think that shows me how unprepared you are to fight me.

That you would even think that would only show me

That you're not gonna continue to work for me anymore.

That you're not somebody I want to disappoint.

That's still on. Should be announced next week.

That's the key concept.

That's your man in the corner back there.

The access code you have entered is invalid...

The access code you have entered...

The beach was not nearby.

The details of your little dilemma with the police.

The discourtesy doesn't. It's still on.

The Dow has been yo yoing amidst speculation that

The driver's distracted. He's texting. He's going 30 miles an hour.

The dullness was coming on. I was overdue to take my NZT.

The exact method of delivery to the brain... Darts at a dartboard.

The governmental bribe system is itself corrupt, so, of course,

The kind of life that we'll finally be able to live.

The lower bunk in my childhood bedroom in Jersey.

The minute, the instant that's no longer true...

The next morning, I sent a little probe down into my brain.

The police station? A coatroom?

The police would later note

The real question is, why did you ever put up with me?

The Senate. Who knows...

The things we'll be able to do. Where we'll be a year from now.

The unknown Mr. Morra trumped the market,

The whole world would have to come begging for energy

The witness identified the Maria Winberg suspect as this person.

The woman's husband?

Then we'll say, "Godspeed."

There are moments in life... moments when you know you've crossed a bridge.

There aren't. Because there are no safeguards in human nature.

There he is. Nice article in the Post, buddy.

There is absolutely no truth to the rumor of this merger.

There was all last night to tell us that.

There won't be a proxy.

There you go. It's a thing of beauty. You have that made?

There's a built in safe, central surveillance,

There's a wave of donations coming in and I don't think

There's no arguing with you.

There's no scenario where you're not working for me.

There's no way you can be making accusations like that

There's someone following me.

These are tectonic plates that are shifting right under us.

These companies aren't the question, are they?

These companies wouldn't get you there in emerging markets.

They offered me his job and then... and then I got scared.

They shut down your lab this morning.

They were hieroglyphs.

They're as close to your clones as I could possibly get.

They're even gonna try a second debate.

They're... it's...

They've done four basic trials...

They've had clinical trials and it's FDA approved.

They've identified these receptors in the brain

Thinking no one's smarter than you.

This article's gonna get written with or without you.

This guy was not going away.

This has been the learning experience of my life.

This is a difficult time.

This is a waste of my time, you know?

This isn't about Vernon Gant, Mr. Morra.

This isn't working.

This man's... This man's chasing me!

This must be some big ass merger you're contemplating.

This was great.

Throwing up. So I went back to Vernon.

Thursday, I'm gonna need the pills here.

Time somebody shook up the free world and got things done.

To a seat at that table. You don't know how to assess your competition

To justify a merger with Van Loon and Associates.

To keep us safe and that... To set us up and then I'm gonna get off it.

To our place?

Today was the day I was gonna kick its ass.

Tom, is it possible to construct an imperceptible compartment?

Took them forever. And the longer I stood there, the clearer I saw.

Torch it.

Trust me, you don't want to know.

Try to taper off, otherwise the headaches are just the beginning.

Trying to save his life, why is he dead?

Two and a half times your cash at the day trading firm.

Two months after I'd started NZT,

Two years ago he wasn't even on Forbes' radar.

Uh, hey, Vern, I really just need to talk to you.

Uh, I'm writing. Writing a lot.

Uh, Paul passed away three days ago.

Uh...

Uh...

Uh...

Unbelievable.

Unless you see a real threat, I never want it known that I have any security.

Unless you're playing both sides of the fence.

Until I found a more... permanent solution.

Van Loon Associates and Hank Atwood have negotiated a merger...

Van Loon was my bridge. I finally had my shot.

Vault grade pneumatic doors.

Vern had known whoever had done this.

Vern, look at me. Do I look good to you? I'm broke and I'm depressed off my ass.

Vern, who did this to you?

Vern?

Vern...

Vern's cash, combined with an unprecedented surge of motivation,

Vernon didn't tell you any of this, did he?

Vernon's other clients.

Very exciting stuff.

Victim's sister.

Victor!

Victor?

Waiting for her to come back out of the bathroom,

Wall Street would provide my nest egg, but then how far could I go?

Wanna tell me your whereabouts the night ofApril 2nd?

Was it Brandt or someone else?

Was it even me?

Was it possible? Could I have killed someone?

Was this how it was all going to end?

Wash his windows, scrub his toilet...

Wasn't boundless after all.

Watch it, man!

We both knew what was beckoning.

We can't allow any disparity in race

We can't meet, OK?

We could have been partners.

We got France, we got Poland, we got a big Swiss bank account.

We got you a meeting with Carl Van Loon.

We lose you if there's a screen in the room?

We started up again.

We would appreciate your directing further questions to our attorney.

We'd really worked on her paper, too.

We're gonna keep you alive for the whole shebang.

We're here in front of the hotel where a woman,

We're just awaiting the results of the latest round of tests

We're stopped dead.

We're wired to overreach.

We've got to get out of here. Eddie?

Well, even though everything you say is true, I still love you.

Well, from 12,000 to 2.3 million in ten days.

Well, given the scale of my contribution,

Well, given where you're heading, some of our ideas are a bit ambitious.

Well, he'd better get better.

Well, here he comes. I'll ask him.

Well, I suppose I can help you with that.

Well, I'll tell you one thing...

Well, I'm a new man.

Well, I'm afraid I'm gonna have to leave you here, Eddie.

Well, in order for a career to evolve, I'm gonna have to move on.

Well, it was supposed to be legal.

Well, it'll never officially exist.

Well, it's a formula with a complex method.

Well, it's gonna pay off, Senator Morra.

Well, it's masquerading as a sci fi novel,

Well, it's not as if I have a black book with your name in it,

Well, it's, uh...

Well, maybe... maybe they've worked out the bugs. Maybe...

Well, not everybody understands the patterns.

Well, on it or off it,

Well, sure, you get a short term spike, but wouldn't that rapid expansion

Well, what this does... it lets you access all of it.

Well, when he told me about this amazing new drug,

Well, who asked you?

Well, why be surprised?

Well, you don't want to hear this from some schmuck who needs a ride home.

Well, you might have to live it without me.

Well, you're an amazing con artist, or you're a very smart young man.

Well... Spartans weren't big on amenities.

What a surprise. They told me somebody from Eiben was coming.

What are you doing out here?

What are you doing, man?

What are you doing? Do you want to be President of the United States

What are you doing? You get your hands off me. What are you doing?

What are you gonna do then?

What are you taking? Are you on drugs?

What bar was this?

What can you do for Carl Van Loon?

What do you got there?

What do you know about Hank Atwood?

What do you know about this?

What do you think I am? Some financial institution?

What do you think?

What has it been? Like nine years?

What have you been doing for the last day?

What I needed was a bunker.

What is this about?

What kind of guy without a drug or alcohol problem looks this way?

What makes you think I don't have a guy with a bead on you right now?

What van?

What was this? A drug for people who wanted to be more anal retentive?

What would you do?

What you're about to say is bullshit.

What, like some offshore lab making fake Viagra? Come on, Vern.

What?

What?

What?

What? A man in your employ can't take a piss, Carl?

What? What about Atwood?

What's going on?

What's in it?

What's mine is yours, too,

Whatcha doing, hon?

When has that ever stopped you?

When it finally stopped,

When this is over? I don't know.

When's the last time you ate something?

Where it will take us, Lin, you can't even imagine.

Where the hell have you been? This is the second time you've turned to vapor.

Where was he two years ago?

Where we all sort of... Uh... Uh...

Which sort of gives credence to the theory

Which yields a prospective profit of 200 percent.

Who have you been talking to?

Who was out there?

Who would live like this?

Why are you buying that? The CEO was just indicted.

Why do I give you $100,000?

Why is it that the moment your life exceeds your wildest dreams...

Why not?

Why?

Why?

With eicosapentaeonic acid.

With his life saving medication?

Word quickly got out.

Worth the risk?

Would re structure these deals. And you'd better be prepared.

Wouldn't know. I don't see her. She moved upstate.

Write down your number. I may need to contact you later.

Yeah, and I told Liev forget it.

Yeah, and they eventually got their asses kicked.

Yeah, he started getting headaches, then he collapsed at work.

Yeah, he's not doing well at all.

Yeah, I know. An overbooked fundraiser. That's a first.

Yeah, I sorta got myself together.

Yeah, of course I believe it. You deserve it.

Yeah, there's been movement alright. Atwood's in a coma.

Yeah, well you can't have the flu right now.

Yeah, well, I can't pass the test right now.

Yeah, you know, all you people get caught.

Yeah?

Yeah.

Yeah.

Yeah.

Yeah.

Yeah. Did you ever meet...

Yeah. He got into the cab behind me

Yeah. I bought Eiben a couple of months ago. I'm surprised you didn't hear.

Yeah. Told you I have a lunch.

Yes, they were. No, the way it works...

Yes, we have no further comments at this time.

You all right? You look like you're living on the streets.

You can tweak it, re engineer it. Get the bugs out. Taper off.

You could even be a bike messenger and come up with that. Really.

You could Google the clerk's sons, they'd love to talk to you.

You didn't even tell me what happened.

You do not know what I know because you have not earned those powers.

You don't appreciate it.

You don't die from this. You suffocate.

You don't even know how to use it.

You don't have rent! You don't have a job!

You don't like me and I don't blame you. You see a self defeating,

You don't really live here, do you?

You don't think some smartass on NZT

You don't work in my world.

You flaunt them and you throw them around like a brat with his trust fund.

You full of shit, Eddie baby.

You go home and you take it. You take the dose down, but you don'tjust stop.

You gonna tell me where the rest is?

You good?

You have 19 messages.

You have no idea what kind of enemy I can be.

You have to know, Eddie, I wrote you off.

You haven't asked the question.

You haven't been bored blind at the fundraisers. You haven't done the time

You haven't given me the answer.

You haven't had to bribe or charm or threaten your way

You haven't had to climb up all the greasy little rungs.

You know what? Let's not invade Russia in the winter.

You know, Eddie...

You know, remind me, who the fuck are you, anyway?

You know, something doesn't gel here.

You know, these guys are gonna find it.

You know, you should really be glad about this.

You know... I'm really happy you're here with me.

You look good.

You OK?

You see that guy?

You see, I dissolve in a solution.

You shoot it. It goes straight into the blood and brain.

You should sleep.

You sure about that?

You sure? 'Cause I got a little bit on the line here.

You think you can leap over all in a single bound.

You think you can run out on me, huh? You think I don't know where you are?

You understand? You don't pay, you know what we do?

You use the fishhook action to get inside the mouth.

You want me to go get it.

You were married, like, five minutes.

You would have to... Oh. Whoa.

You'll be wanting a few toys.

You'll die if you just stop.

You'll never precede me, you'll always follow me.

You're a creep, aren't you? You've been... You've been following me.

You're careless with those powers.

You're gonna get a front row seat, Eddie.

You're good.

You're kidding.

You're lucky somebody wiped the room. It's weak. Circumstantial at best.

You're not excused.

You're not one of those kind of guys, are you Eddie?

You're playing at this level, you get hit by a car, you don't even die.

You're relieved that you know things my team missed.

You're welcome.

You're wishing I'd blow my brains out,

Your aortic valve's steno. So you're gonna need to get that replaced.

Your deductive powers are a gift from God, or chance,

Your life script, a gift not earned.

Your old life is over.

Your persistence will discourage your attacker.

7B, yes.

12:00 and you're not here.

"He's God"? You coming over later?

A dealer? Yeah, uh, antiques. Um...

A prediction. It won't come off. Why's that?

Ah! Daddy!

and he asked me to come up to... Buy some drugs?

And? And I got sick. Headaches.

Anybody ever jump? Are you crazy?

Anything? I'll call him again, sir.

Apparently so. But you're not in the finance game.

Are you still there? Yeah, I'm here. What happened?

Baby, call the cops. Can you go around him?

Can I have it back? Uh... Nope.

Carl, I don't know what you're... Listen!

Carl, I'm sorry... Mr. Morra. Mr. Morra!

Carl! Mr. Morra.

Come on, get going. I could write you a check.

Could be an act. He's not even 60.

Creative problems, huh? Yeah. Mm hm.

Do I look like I'm still dealing? No, you don't. No.

Do you know who makes it? I don't know.

Do you want to call it? Cold feet?

Don't get up. I said don't get up.

Eddie who? Uh, Morra.

Eddie, I'm 40 pages further in. Call me.

Eddie, please. Please, please come, please come, I...

Eddie, what pills? I don't... Babe, it's complicated.

Eddie? Listen,

Eddie? Melissa?

Eiben Chemcorp Pharmaceuticals? Yeah.

God! Hey.

Great. Hold on.

Greatjob. Thank you, sir.

He killed two guys. What?

He's gonna do it. He's not gonna do it.

He's gonna kill me, too. No, no, no...

Hello? Kevin, this is Eddie.

Here you go. Thanks.

Hey, how are ya? Eddie.

Hey, John. Hey, Carl. Good to see you.

Hey, watch it. Hey, hey! Take it easy!

Hi. Yeah, hi,

Hm? Nowhere.

Hm? Um...

How are ya? Eddie.

How's your day going? Ah. I've had better.

I can't make the meeting today. What are you talking about?

I do have a formula, Mr. Pierce. Delusions of grandeur.

I got it. You did?

I have a lunch. They're your biggest contributor.

I know, listen, I just... Sh. Listen to me.

I mean, that's the plan. Eddie...

I mean, you shed a spot light... Do you want to go to war with me?

I really need to talk to you. We're talking now.

I suddenly knew everything. About everything.

I was sick. You don't get sick.

I was thinking that we should... Don't propose.

I'd seen it before. Twelve years ago in college.

I'm here now. Oh! Good.

I'm sorry. No, you're not.

In all of them. Certainly, sir.

inside information 17 times. You threatening me?

into fame and fortune by taking some shiny, brand new designer drug.

It was another skip. How had I gone the last 20 blocks?

It would be cost effective. And you say I'm not practical.

It's Carl Van Loon. That's Carl Van Loon.

It's true, I did marry once. Right out of college, to Melissa.

Jerry's in the hospital. He's what?

Just finish your story. Well...

Kev, I... Don't you get it? This is your test.

Let me see your hands! No, no, I'm the one who called!

Let me see your hands. Hey.

Let's get you to a hospital. No, no, no, no, no. I don't need...

Meaning? Clinical trials, guinea pig people.

My associate, Edward Morra. Pleasure.

My life wasn't in jeopardy. You can wait here.

No, because there are safeguards. Against aggressive over expansion?

No, I just noticed the book. You just saw the corner of it.

No, no. What? What did this guy do?

No? I mean, does it have to be that key?

No. Words have appeared on paper.

No. No, no, no. I'm gonna go get it. Give me your keys.

OK, Eddie. OK.

OK, you take this, you mine. OK.

OK. Good luck.

OK. OK.

Only problem? If I wasn't moving forward,

or brain dead, stuck full of tubes? I'll take my chances.

Please! Yo, buddy, let's leave her alone!

Police Department! Open the door, please!

Pull it back. Excuse me, Mr. Van Loon?

Pull it back. Since when is this the Delphic Oracle?

Really? Yeah.

Right now? Yeah. Take your time.

She didn't have a chance. So, what are your suggestions?

She's good. Good.

Sit down! Hey. OK.

So what? You're not making any more. That's right, I'm not.

So you want some more? Yes. Definitely.

So, uh, what's it called? Doesn't have a street name yet.

So. So...

Sorry I'm late. Hey. Don't worry.

That stuff's amazing. Works better if you're already smart.

That van's gonna rear end that taxi. What?

That's gonna take too long. It's what it is.

That's great. How about you?

That's none of your business. Something wrong at law school?

the blackouts didn't recur. How you doing, Eddie?

The stocks went up. By a hair.

There it is. We're done. Oh, yeah. We'll see.

This just came for you. Yeah, what?

Those things saved your life. But they weren't me.

Valerie, Tuesday. Look. Enough, OK?

Vern, what happened? Don't worry about it. I'm fine.

Well, how much have you written of it? Not one word.

What do you mean? I mean, I took it, too.

What if it was a hallucinogen? It's pathetic.

What is it? No, it's just aspirin.

What was this drug? I couldn't stay messy on it,

What? I know how it's going.

What? About the leak? No. About Atwood.

What's the asking price? Eight point five.

What's wrong? What?

What's your secret? Medication.

When did you know? Does it matter? I know now.

When this is over. OK, all right.

Who is it? Hey, Vernon, it's Eddie.

Who's back, Eddie? Me.

Why? Why? Because I'm not stupid.

Yeah, hello, is Paul Kaplan there? Uh, no. No, he's not.

Yeah. Yeah.

Yeah. You're off it right now, aren't you?

Yes. Written by you.

You can't see me, Eddie. No, no...

You don't even know what it is. You're still dealing.

You forget about me, huh? No, no, no, no.

You were different before. I'm still the same person, Lin.

You were there? Um...

You'd have to back off Libya. Really?

You're absolutely right. I know I'm right.

You're gonna be next, Eddie! We're coming in!

You're no longer equipped to fight me. I may be off it,

...a little intimidated.

...a murder.

...and healthy. Come on. Let's go get some lunch.

...and then I actually went there and had lunch, I went back.

...anything I could do to get my hands on that little clear pill

...help me convince him that I can raise his game. Got any ideas?

...hotel has adequate security cameras...

...I didn't take any more and I didn't die.

...I dispensed with all the hard statistics

...I fired a few people over your projections.

...I quintupled my money four days in a row.

...I was way uptown.

...I will never let them touch me.

...if you don't want to keep reading, I'll give you back the advance.

...it may be on your mind

...not to say that I like yours any better.

'cause I can take care of us now.

'Cause me working for you? You'd end up as my bitch.

'He's Houdini. He's a prophet of our times."'

"Fillet." It's a nice word.

"He was the third one from the right. No. Not him."

"In a sizzling three days of trading,"

"Let's go home, let's pop a beer, and let's live off the interest."

"The boys in the kitchen"? I don't...

911, what's your emergency? Hi, I need to report a...
