The Nature of Unanswered Questions
Telly
What have you done with him? Why did you take him? What do you want?
A Friendly Man
It's an experiment.
Telly
He's just a little boy. What could you possibly learn from him?
A Friendly Man
Nothing.
Telly
This wasn't about Sam. This wasn't about the children.
A Friendly Man
It was never about the children.
Telly
We were the experiment.
A Friendly Man
Your connection, mother to child. Like an invisible tissue. We can even measure its energy. But we don't fully understand it, so I posed the question: "Can it be dissolved?" And it can. Except for you.
Telly
Give me back my son and I'll do whatever you want.
A Friendly Man
What I want, Telly, is for you to forget your son. To forget Sam.
Telly
No.
A Friendly Man
If you don't, this experiment will fail. I'm accountable. I can't let that happen. And time is running out.
Telly
I won't help you.
A Friendly Man
There are worse things than forgetting.
Telly
No, there aren't.
A Friendly Man
You need to forget. You're different from the others.
Telly
Why?
A Friendly Man
It's better this way. You won't be haunted by his memory. You could have a life again. Now, I want you to go back to that first day in the hospital. To the first time you ever saw Sam. I need that first memory. Give me that first memory! That boy. What was his name?
Telly
What boy? I had life inside of me. I had life. I have a child. I have a son. I...have a son. His name is Sam, you son of a bitch.

So you don't think I'm out of my mind?
Ash
I don't anymore.
