- How are you feeling today?
- Take your time.
- I know that coming to a psychiatrist for the first time
is always hard.
- But you're safe here. You can talk about anything you want.
- I didn't want to come here at all.
- What changed your mind?
- I just can't go on like this.
- OK. Tell me a little about yourself.
- This is our third appointment. And, so far, I don't feel like
you are being honest with me.
- I can't help you till you tell me what's bothering you, what's making your life so difficult.
- Nobody can help me.
- You came here so I could help you. Try me. You have
nothing to lose.
- A little over a year ago, bad things started happening to me,
one after the other.
- The world started closing down on me.
- It was the only thing that made me feel alive.
- It opened me up, made me think in a different way.
- Since then, I just can't stop.
- What is it that makes you feel this way?
- Don't worry. Nothing you say leaves this room.
- I am an alcoholic.
- How do you feel now that you've told me about it?
- I feel lost, helpless.
- I don't know what to do but drink myself numb, so I can
escape my miserable life.
- What you are feeling is quite normal for someone in your
Situation.
- Normal?
- You shouldn't blame yourself for everything that's wrong
with your life.
- Who should I blame, then, huh?
- Who should I blame?
- All types of addiction have cures.
- It just takes time, that's all.
- I don't have any time, damn it!
- I can't go on living like this.
- You have to understand... treatment takes months,
sometimes years.
- No. I want you to try something else.
- What do you mean?
- You know what I mean.
- Who told you about that?
- That doesn't matter anymore. Just do it. Please!
- Ahmed?
- Ahmed, what are you doing here?!
- Ahmed, don't you remember me? I am your psychiatrist.
- Ahmed, you are not feeling well. Let me help you.
- Put down the gun.
- Treating alcoholism with hypnosis is very, very difficult.
- In most cases, it doesn't get results.
- There's a lot of risk involved. There...
- I don't care. I am willing to risk it.
- In that case, let me explain to you how it works.
- I am going to put you in a trance state, reach your
subconscious, try to trick it.
- I will try to know all your secrets, all your weaknesses.
- Any kind of addiction is nothing but a weakness, an Achilles Heel in your character.
- The only way to get rid of that weakness, of your addiction, is to trick your mind...
- ...convince it it's fighting something else, something other
than your addiction...
- We will force your mind to see every point of weakness as
a person...
- ...an enemy.
- We will convince your mind to kill each and every one of
your enemies.
- I don't understand.
- Don't worry. Just trust me.
- In order to begin, I need you to remember something from
your childhood, something that made you happy.
- Can you think of something like that?
- Yes.
- Now, I want you to clear your mind.
- Just focus on the watch, hear it tick.
- Now you remember, don't you?
- I had to try. I thought when you saw the doctor, we would
have you.
- What are you going to do?
- Did you think you could ever get rid of us?
- You are weak. We complete you.
- We give you hope in a life that has none.
